Business Marketing Shift: From Billboards to Online Media
Many businesses are making a fast shift from more expensive forms of business marketing to online marketing practices. Moving from expensive billboard advertisements, to different online marketing strategies like Google AdWords, contextual advertising, and online promotions is proving more affordable in these troublesome economic times. From product promotion to the promotion of services, business owners are now making the cost-effective decision to avail themselves of online marketing and Internet business marketing strategies.
So how many businesses are using online marketing? Recent statistical analysis reveals that more than 90 percent of businesses that engage in advertising are using Internet and online marketing strategies to market their websites, services, and for product promotion. Print forms of advertising have fallen to second place when compared to online marketing and 88 percent of advertisers are still relying on print forms of advertising and product promotion. Nearly fifty five percent of businesses using advertising strategies to spread the word about products and services combine the powers of print forms of media as well as online business marketing methods.
While radio advertising is just under 50 percent at this time, the use of radio advertising is likely to rise in the future since there are online methods for sharing advertising via radio. Voice over Internet Protocol has paved the way for Internet radio, and once businesses catch on to the power of online marketing via Internet radio, it is very possible that radio advertising will gain significant attention as a viable form of Internet business marketing too. Online radio marketing, online interviews on radio shows, and interviews based on products and services are great ways to get a business's message across.
The types of business marketing online and product promotion online need to be considered by the business owner if the advertising online is to be well received by targeted audiences however. Studies have found that Internet users prefer advertisements that are unobtrusive and that do little to interfere with the user's Internet experience. For excellent product promotion online, the business owner will want to refrain from using advertising techniques involving pop-ups and mouse-overs since web users typically frown upon such forms of advertising. Advertising with music that suddenly comes on and offers the web user no controls over the volume are also found somewhat unsettling for some web users. Web banners, ads, Internet radio advertisements, and Google Adsense campaigns however, prove tremendously powerful in terms of advertising online.

You only have to look at the cover of this book, featuring Viktor & Rolf's bold topiary dress – a black tube layer topped by frothy aqua tulle, with a blunt cut-out section – to know that it's not for shrinking violets. Why You Can Go Out Dressed Like That will appeal to anyone who rolls their eyes at the thought of 'normcore' and would hate to find themselves dressed like a Gap advert. Instead of celebrating the joy of sensible wardrobe staples, author Marnie Fogg champions the weird and wonderful pieces pushing fashion to its limits, like Jeremy Scott's sequin-adorned leopard print niqab, or Franc Fernandez's meat dress – famously worn by Lady Gaga.
With each design put in context thanks to detailed notes and rigorous research, we see that nothing stands in isolation – an idea can be inspired by a place, a film or maybe a moment in fashion history, then the design itself can kick-start a trend or leads to a copycat item once it's been seen on the catwalk. Josephine Baker's risqué banana skirt of 1926 is seen as the precursor to Prada's 2011 banana-print skirt and Chloé's pineapple swimming costume in 2001; the shock factor may have diminished today (Baker's costume seems not a million miles away from Miley Cyrus' recent wardrobe choices) but the creative link is clear. Wider trends such as zoot suits and the Sweet Lolita street style that swept Japan are also explored with the same critical eye.
Though it's divided into sections such as 'Fantasy' and 'Volume', one of the overriding themes seems to be fashion as art, and the place of iconic clothing in a museum setting. Some featured designs have outright artistic credentials, such as Yves Saint Laurent's Homage to Braque, an alternative wedding dress which pays tribute to one of the Cubist artist's paintings, whilst others are made to take on the challenge of performance art; Viktor & Rolf, Hussein Chalayan and Alexander McQueen have all staged conceptual shows to explain some of their strongest ideas. The garments they created belong in a private collection or a permanent public display, not in the corner of someone's wardrobe.
Gentler nods to the art world include sculptural details like padded shoulders (courtesy of Thom Browne) or optical illusions like trompe l'oeil (adopted by John Galliano and The Blonds). Playing with form and silhouette isn't just artistic, it's also one of the best ways to really embrace style and have fun – highlighting your natural body shape one day, perhaps in Ashish's cut-out dress or Jean Paul Gaultier's op art jumpsuit, and transforming your body the next with Sister By Sibling's pom-pom coat, accessorised with matching bonnet. Okay, so if you don't have the confidence of Anna Dello Russo you may struggle to step outside the house in any of these looks, but it's nice to have the choice of ditching everyday clothes for a show-stopping outfit with its own story.
To really make this an extensive guide to pioneering fashion, there could be a little more variety in the designers that made the cut. The distinctive US brand Rodarte is mentioned several times in notes but doesn't have a proper profile in the book, whereas Galliano and McQueen take centre stage repeatedly. It would be great to see the recurring names given proper recognition with Fogg's full profiling treatment. That aside, Why You Can Go Out Dressed Like That is a worthy primer for anyone interested in 20th-21st century fashion at its most daring.
Published by Thames & Hudson, Why You Can Go Out Dressed Like That: Modern Fashion Explained by Marnie Fogg is available to buy online here.

Inspiring youth to engage in activating democracy and emerge as game changers
To survive and thrive, democracy must be a work in progress. Yet civics is usually taught as a static set of information that seems fixed and settled. Ultimate Civics has developed Activating My Democracy as a dynamic way to turn your students onto the active power of civics, as fluid and adaptive instructions for engaged citizens to support a living democracy.
(1) Move ideas into action; (2) Understand values and liberties (3) Understand rights, privileges, and the balance of power; (4) Trace the historic roots of the democracy crisis in current events; (5) Repair a democracy and protect our liberties; and (6) Exercise our rights to defend what we love.
Tools + Rules = Game Changers
TOOLS: Students learn tools and skills available to citizens for understanding and protecting our wealth and liberties in a constitutional democracy (lessons 1 and 2).
RULES: Students learn basic concepts and structure of government in principle and practice through lens of landmark laws that have shaped our society (lessons 3 and 4).
GAME CHANGERS: Students explore two critical issues of their generation and what they might do to create game-changing action plans to support ongoing efforts (lessons 5 and 6).
Lesson Plan Content
Each 50-minute lesson plan is supported with power point notes and slides, short film clips, worksheets for students, worksheet guides for teachers, and resources. Lessons 5 and 6 also provide extension ideas and resources for teachers to support youth who want to create and conduct their own action plan as a class or independent project.
Students compare and contrast ways of doing business that are aligned with human values and for-profit values underlying the GDP-based economy. Students examine methods to engage government in protecting liberties through petitions, initiatives, and amendments, then work together to identify their goals, and create game-changing action plans.
Students analyze and discuss film stories to identify basic elements of SMART action plans created and implemented by their peers. Peer learning and interactive exercises nurture self-efficacy and support the role of young citizens in creating a more sustainable and democratic society.
Students explore and articulate what they value, then examine how the value-based liberties and principles enshrined in the Declaration of Independence were moved into legal protections through the Bill of Rights. Using select current events, students learn how, and how well, our rights work to defend our wealth and wellbeing and to curb government abuse of power.
Students critically examine the conceptual framework of the Constitution and its strengths and weaknesses. Students explore the early government's dilemma of how to interpret the Constitution and where to fit corporations into the legal framework. An interactive timeline with key laws challenges students to reflect on the shifting balance of rights, powers, and privileges during the first 100 years.
Following a narrative thread in the interactive timeline, students explore how internal weaknesses from fear/discrimination and greed/consolidation of power have expressed through key laws and how these laws and stories behind them shaped society during the second 130 years. Students trace the roots of corporate power and government abuses to current issues.
Students examine and discuss elements of landmark climate cases brought by youth plaintiffs in federal and state courts. Using an interactive exercise, students explore how values and harm to personal wellbeing determine "standing" in a court of law. Students examine select legal rights and the Public Trust Doctrine to gain an understanding of how values, law, and science interface to address complex public problems with multiple perspectives.
Teachers are fully supported step-by-step with guided materials and engaging media.

HELP! Moby Dick is (a) a novel about whaling (b) symbolic (c) a character study (d) a romantic adventure study (e) all of theseMoby Dick by Herman Melville
- print Print
- list Cite
The most appropriate answer is (e) all of these.
The critic Tony Tanner, in his introduction to the 1998 Oxford World's Classic edition of Melville's seminal work, contends that this novel could only have been written in mid-nineteenth century America, a "time of dominion and expansionary confidence in the western world." For, Tanner continues, Melville generates both an epic and a myth in his work with the many chapters that objectively categorize whales and dissect the business of whaling also directing the reader symbolically to the mythical majesty of the largest creature of the sea. Walking the decks of the whaling ship that seeks the inscrutable white whale, Moby Dick, is Captain Ahab, monomanical in his desire for revenge against the creature, who speaks in an elevated style suitable to the epic hero/anti-hero. In this elevated style, also, Ahab examines the metaphysical characteristics of the great whale, who is but "a pasteboard mask" that hides its inscrutable malice; this pasteboard mask Ahab swears he will break through:
That inscrutable thing is chiefly what I hate; and be the White Whale agent, or be the White Whale principal, I will wreak that hate upon him. Talk not to me of blasphemy, man; I'd strike the sun if it insulted me.
Ahab vows to find the truth, truth that has "no confines." And, he sets out upon a voyage that ends in more than death.
As stated above, the answer to your question is most likely all of the above. The first, long part of the book on cetology (whaling) can discourage even the most stout hearted from continuing to read the book. Melville felt it was necessary to set the scene for his book, but imagine if this book were to be published today; I suspect virtually any editor hoping for decent sales would cut it down to about a page. As for the rest, Ishmael (if that is truly his name) is the least developed character while many of the others are well developed. Obviously Ahab is a character whose depth is studies in the story, but so are many even minor characters such as the minister in the whaler's church and the owners of the ship. You want symbols? The book is full of them, from the opening sentence of the main text to the last. Finally, there is a romantic adventure tale here as well. Melville managed to create a great work of art that can be many things to many readers. Perhaps that is why his compendium had to be so long. I was once told by a professor that Stephen Crane, author of the famously brief novel "Red Badge of Courage," read "Moby Dick" and wrote in the margin of the text, "Great book, too damn long." Perhaps.

MILWAUKEE -- After waiting over four hours to make their first pick in the 2013 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft, the Milwaukee Brewers selected two players with tremendous upside. With the 54th pick, the Brewers selected right-hander Devin Williams from Hazelwood West High School in Missouri. Milwaukee used the 72nd overall pick to take prep shortstop Tucker Neuhaus of Wharton High School in Florida. The Brewers waited long into the night to make their first pick because they forfeited the 17th overall selection when they signed right-hander Kyle Lohse in free agency. Williams, 18, is ranked as the 49th overall player in the draft by Scout.com. The 6-foot-3, 172 pound right-hander has an athletic build that should be ideal to add weight down the road. Committed to the University of Missouri, Williams has a fastball in the 88-92 mph range and throws a change-up, curveball and slider. His velocity had increased over the past year and he has hit 96 mph on the gun a few times, according to Baseball America. "A high-upside talent," Brewers amateur scouting director Bruce Seid said. " ... From Day 1, we were excited about the athleticism of the player as well as his talent." Baseball America ranked Williams as the 44th overall player in the draft, while ESPN.com had Williams at 20th overall. Seid saw Williams pitch in a 1-0 game in the Missouri state tournament and walked away impressed with his poise and competitiveness. "To say we are happy he got to us - I'm very happy and really excited about it," Seid said. In an interview with FOXSportsMidwest.com, Williams came off as confident and said he grew up idolizing Pedro Martinez. "I want to be in the Hall of Fame," Williams told FOX Sports Midwest. "I want to be one of the best to ever do it." Neuhaus has faced a tremendous amount of adversity during his senior year of high school, starting with the death of his older brother in a car accident last November. His senior year on the diamond was slowed to just a few games due to injuries. About to turn 18-years-old in the coming weeks, Neuhaus ruptured his eardrum after a ground ball took a nasty hop during a game and also dealt with a strained quadricep. "The makeup is off the charts," Seid said. "He's athletic. He's going to stay in the dirt, that's our evaluation of him. He's a left-handed hitter that not only brings power, but a chance to hit. We did have him here in Milwaukee for a workout, and the kid really grows on you." Ranked 53rd by Scout.com and 84th by Baseball America, Neuhaus is a player the Brewers feel they got a bargain on because they jumped on his scouting earlier than most teams. Committed to the University of Louisville, Neuhaus stands at 6-foot-2 and 180 pounds. "You have to rely on your scouts in the area a lot of times," Brewers general manager Doug Melvin said. "He had some adversity this past spring. There are teams that might not have seen him. We are fortunate to get a guy where we really like his bat." There are some questions as to if Neuhaus projects as a shortstop at the next level, but Seid says the team will send him out as a shortstop whenever he is signed. "There's a chance," Seid said of Neuhaus playing shortstop. "I wouldn't rule it out. I'm not saying it's his ultimate position, but he's got good hands, he's got good feet and he's got a good arm." The Brewers had Williams much higher on their board than when they picked them. Melvin admitted the challenge of waiting until the second round to make their first pick of the draft is much harder than picking in the first round because it's difficult to zero in on a few players that will be available at the pick. "We liked both of these guys," Melvin said. "They were talked about a lot ... We think Williams is a guy we were very fortunate to get." With two players they are happy to have, the Brewers next step is to sign both. Though Williams and Neuhaus have college offers on the table, both Seid and Melvin are confident they will sign with the organization sooner rather than later. "Mostly, if it's a team I think is a good fit for me, and obviously the signing bonus is a big part of it," Williams told FOX Sports Midwest. "I'll just have to make a decision on whether I want to play in the SEC, or go play pro ball. They're both good options ... If I signed right away, it would be nice to get started. Whatever team you're with, they start molding you toward what they want to see to get you into the big leagues." Follow Andrew Gruman on Twitter

College coaches want to hear from serious recruits throughout their high school career. Don't be shy to send videos of your best games to college coaching staff or scouts. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and St Charles Community College Basketball information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for St Charles Community College.
You don't have to quarterback the university football team to a state championship to earn an athletic scholarship. Most major sports that field a team in intercollegiate competition have sports scholarships available. From women's gymnastics to men's track and field, coaches are seeking players to build a team around. Further, that leadership role often is accompanied by a full-scholarship.
The best time to begin searching for scholarships is before your senior year, in order to meet deadlines. Schools confirm that it is important to file financial aid forms such as the CSS Profile early in the school year. There are many sports scholarships that focus on less tangible qualities, such as the ability to lead a team, motivate others, and learn new skills rapidly. Take stock of your athletic abilities as you mature through high school. University of Colorado football scores may indicate that it's an option to delay college entrance by a year. An extra year in high school or prep school can allow players to mature mentally, bring grades and SAT test scores up, put on weight and gain strength. Beyond consideration for St Charles Community College basketball coaches, you may think about University of Jamestown retaking a class for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

The Phillies had one last chance in the bottom of the ninth:
Jimmy Rollins grounded out to first, Shane Victorino flied out to left and Chase Utley grounded out to short. Phillies lose, 1-0, and fall to 0-2.
Cole Hamels' night is finished: eight innings, five hits, one run, two walks and six strikeouts. He's on the hook for the loss, unless the Phillies come back to tie in the ninth.
Nationals righthander Tim Redding walked Ryan Howard with one out in the seventh inning. Redding had retired 14 straight batters to that point. The Phillies still have just one hit. Could the potent Phillies offense really waste a great night from Hamels?
They've shown no signs so far of breaking out of their funk.
The Nationals struck first. Ryan Zimmerman hit a 1-2 fastball into the second row of seats just inside the right-field foul pole to make it 1-0. That could be enough on a night like this.
It's cold tonight, folks.
Game time temperature: 49 degrees, although according to weather.com it feels like 42 degrees. Not exactly hitting weather, huh? And so far it's played out exactly like that. Through the first three innings, the Nationals have managed just two hits against Phillies lefthander Cole Hamels while the Phillies have had just one hit against Nationals righthander Tim Redding.

Violating probation because of a new felony arrest can prove to be a major issue. But there are two key points that a talented Defense Attorney will make sure enter the discussion.
- A new felony arrest can add 12 points to a sentencing score sheet when facing a felony VOP. These points should not be counted if the offense date was not during the probationary period. 12 points could be the difference between reinstatement and scoring out to mandatory prison.
- Even if you face a felony violation, you still may be able to avoid becoming a convicted felon. If your attorney can present the proper sentencing mitigation, the court may elect to continue to withhold adjudication. Avoiding the felon classification is extremely important to your future!
If you have violated probation in Okaloosa County and need assistance, give me a call at (850) 362-6655 and we'll discuss your issue at no charge.

The vase has a wonderful matte mustard yellow glaze. The vase displays a tapered swollen form with a flared out round top lip. It has vertical broad leaves that come to a point. They start out at the bottom rising all the way to the underside top lip. At the top the leaves become narrow and come to a point. There are 3 of these broad leaves surrounding the vase. At the top between these leaves are a stylized Tulip pattern on a long stem. The stem separates each once of these broad leaves. All of this appears to be hand carved but it is a tall production piece.
The vase is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. The vase is signed on the bottom with Rookwood's reverse RP sunburst impressed logo and the Roman numerals "XX" for the year of manufacture, 1920. There is also the number "2387" for the shape number. Those of you who collect matte mustard yellow Rookwood and want a lovely large example in this glaze will be delighted with this vase.

I went through my pictures from Ho Chi Minh City and the first thought that went through my mind was "God I did take many pictures at Ben Than market". I could make a separate post about it, and so I did.
I spent hours at the Ben Than market, buying fruits, listening, people watching, wondering through narrow alleys, trying to capture of all these colourful fruits, weird snacks, vegetables, bags of tea, people, flowers, hats, coconuts.
I simply tried to capture it all and safe all these beautiful colours on my camera.
In everyday life, especially when it comes to the choice of clothing, I like my white and black. It's not because I don't like colours, I like them, I just don't like mixing too many at the same time. From time to time I will add a pop of colour here and there, but that's it. I feel like my place in Copenhagen represents it quite well, it's mostly all white and black. I had this red wall in the kitchen, which drove me crazy, so I painted it all white.
My attitude towards colours changes when I'm traveling. It's almost like the sun makes me crave colours. That's why I love cities like Hong Kong and Shanghai, where the streets are just so colourful and full of everything.
Colourful and full of everything is also the best way I would describe Ben Than market. It's a place where you can find it all, whether you were looking for it or not. It's a little crazy, a little intense, a little hectic, always crowded and it represents very well what Southeast Asia is for me. It's all about this tropical vibes, delicious exotic fruits, colourful flowers, food you never even knew existed and smiling faces.
I love the part of the market where they sell jewellery and food (obviously). The main alleys are always very crowded and often way more pricey, so try the side alleys, where you can find even more unique stuff and lower prices. And don't forget to bargain! In a place like that it's simply necessary. You should usually pay about 30% (sometimes even less) of the prices they give you at first.
I would come back to the market several times during my stay in Ho Chi Minh. I would get my favourite dragon fruits, fresh coconuts for 50 euro cents and Buddha necklaces, because one cannot have too many Buddha necklaces.


text: The ASX Corporate Governance Council Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations are only required to be followed by listed companies (on an 'if not, why not' basis for the most part). Nevertheless, they set out governance practices and issues which can be very helpful to private companies and serve as a benchmark for good governance. The importance of good governance is just as great for private companies - it is just the implementation which will usually be less complex. The basic precepts of good governance are fundamental to all organisations – having a board charter, well defined roles and responsibilities for board members, appropriate financial knowledge, accountability and transparency to members, shareholders and stakeholders. A survey of the regulation of corporate governance in SMEs highlights a number of policy conclusions (see Clarke T & Klettner A, 'Governance Issues of SMEs', in Journal of Business Systems, Governance and Ethics (2010)): The need for corporate governance guidelines to include flexibility, particularly for companies early in their life cycle; The need to reinforce the robustness of the 'if not why not' approach and educate the market that disclosure, not uniformity, is important; The fact that corporate governance demands upon companies develop as they increase in scale and complexity with more diffuse shareholders; The fact that companies may carry with them problems of inadequate corporate governance and dysfunctional boards if these are not resolved early in the company life cycle; The existence of a critical period in corporate governance when private companies become listed entities with wider accountability and a corresponding need for a more independent board; The importance of legal and regulatory guidance and director education for companies preparing to list. What is the nature of private companies? A private company is a company that is registered as, or converts to, a proprietary company under the Corporations Act 2001. Directors of proprietary companies have legal duties and responsibilities under the Corporations Act 2001. Under that Act, a proprietary company must: be limited by shares or be an unlimited company with a share capital; have no more than 50 non-employee shareholders; not do anything that would require disclosure to investors under Chapter 6D of the Act; and have at least one director who must ordinarily reside in Australia. Directors of a private company should be aware of se 111J of the Corporations Act 2001. That section, entitled 'Small business guide', summarises the main rules in the Corporations Act 2001 that apply to proprietary companies limited by shares. The main difference between private companies and larger public companies is the lack of distinction between owners and managers. In private companies, they tend to be the same people because of the small size and lack of complexity of operations. They often have a quite informal approach to governance. Reporting and disclosure requirements for private companies are lower than those for listed companies but there is still a considerable regulatory burden surrounding the daily operations of a small business. Companies operating in certain industries (e.g. the part of the financial services sector regulated by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority) are required by law to have boards. The needs of a company will change as it moves into new stages of development. A start-up company's needs are quite different to a mature company's needs. As a company grows, a stricter governance framework will be required. What governance issues do private company boards face? Simple governance issues for SMEs can include managing intellectual property and legal risks, e.g. registration of trademarks, contracts with employees and family members, contracts with suppliers and customers. Other issues include: Owner-related issues: Owner's lack of time. Owners often run the business and have few staff. They struggle to find the time to view the business and market from a governance standpoint. They may lose opportunities due to a lack of time for strategic planning; Reluctance of owner/founder to let go. As the company grows and considers including independent directors, the owner may feel challenged when altering his or her role in the organisation. It can be hard to let go of the daily operations to become more strategic and entrepreneurial; Succession planning. Many small businesses suffer from key person risk – the success of the business is dependent on one person. If anything happened to that person, the organisation would change significantly. All businesses need a plan for dealing with an unexpected loss of the owner, e.g. becoming ill or dying and for the owner retiring. Refer to the Q&A on Succession Planning; Limited resources: Private companies may have only a small staff, often lacking in specialist skills and knowledge, and sometimes a limited cash flow. While some may want to improve governance by adding independent directors, they may feel that they cannot afford this; Growth and expansion: As a company grows, its needs to change. There may be a greater need for strategic skills and knowledge than management team can provide. Small companies may be used to meeting compliance requirements (completing forms for ASIC, etc) but will need to become more strategic to deal with greater requirements for disclosure, reporting and exposure to external scrutiny. Risk management; Relationships within many private companies are based on trust with family, friends, suppliers and customers. Fraud can occur and the company needs protection with contracts with all relevant parties. There should also be business continuity plans in case of crises, such as the succession planning issue referred to above. When should a private company consider creating a board of directors? Many private companies will start, and continue for some time, with the one director required by law. Company Director has suggested that the need for the addition of other directors and the formation of a board is triggered by certain events, rather than being determined by size of the company. These events can include when the company: Is making a transition from being family-owned to more professional management; Wants to more readily raise capital. It may consider listing on the ASX to achieve this; Is experiencing rapid change; Is planning significant expansion and needs outsiders to guide it strategically; Is dealing with generational succession issues. What are the benefits of adding outsiders to the board? Adding outsiders to a small company where key players have close and well established relationships will be challenging. However, the opportunities this can create can take a company forward to its next stage of development. Independent directors appointed from outside the company can: Bring a fresh perspective and focus; Identify strategic issues; Create more credibility in the market and make the company more attractive to investors; Show a commitment by the company to corporate governance and regulatory compliance; Act as a sounding board for the CEO and management. Of course, having independent directors on a board does not guarantee success but it does make it a lot easier to focus on corporate governance issues. What should be considered when adding board members? A company considering the appointment of new board members recognises that it lacks the skills, knowledge and experience needed to push it forward. The key step then is to identify company needs in the short and medium terms. Consider especially what will be happening in that time, e.g. expansion into a new market (industry or geography), broadening the product or service range, etc. Potential candidates should be matched against these criteria. Friends and family, unless they possess this specific knowledge, will probably not be the best choice. Expect that anyone offered the opportunity of sitting on your company's board will do their own due diligence to evaluate the opportunity. To assist this process, it would be wise to supply procedural information such as what information they can expect to receive in advance of board meetings, the arrangements for remuneration and Directors' & Officers (D&O) Insurance, frequency of meetings, appointment terms, board evaluation procedures as well as information on financial performance, industry trends, etc. Evaluating an organisation prior to joining will guide a company on the type of information to make available in order to attract a candidate to your board. Do independent directors have to be paid? When contemplating the addition of independent directors, many private companies are concerned about whether they can afford to pay an appropriate amount to their directors. According to the Corporations Act 2001,directors are to be paid the remuneration that the company determines by resolution (sec 202A). Because cash flow is very important to SMEs, it may be worthwhile considering payment in the form of shares. Corporate governance experts do not endorse this practice but it may be the only option for smaller companies.

AVE And Dylan On Vans
The biggest story of the month is that Anthony Van Engelen is off DC. Since his forthcoming DC shoe was going to feature a vulcanized sole, it only makes sense that his new shoe sponsor is a pioneer in the field of low-profile grippyness--Vans. Every pros' favorite young-gunner Dylan Reider is off the Swoosh and on waffle soles, as well. Oh, and here's a little heads up: A lot of shoe contracts are expiring on January 1, so get ready for even more earth-shattering sneaker news.
It's All Bueno!
It finally is all good for Shiloh Greathouse now that he's finally got a long overdue pro model. Bueno is a new board company out of Giant Distribution headed up by Stacy Lowery and with art by Michael Sieben. Stylish ams Nate Broussard and Mark Gutterman round out the team.
Pray For Jose!
Jose Rojo was in a bad car accident recently--so bad that he broke a few neck bones and his collarbone. Thankfully he'll be all right, but homey was seriously laid up! As of press time, he's much better and feeling mobile, and quite possibly back on his board in two months! Just to make sure that does happen, e-mail him some positivity at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Congratulations Mr. And Mrs. Gavin!
Former Blind and Girl professional, and now Podium VP, Tim Gavin, has come a long way from his Penis Pops days! He recently wed his lovely lady Kelly, and can also proudly tout the re-release of his new-and-improved pro model shoe on DVS--now even more skateable straight out the box 'cause you know that extra break-in time was hindering Gav's daily sessions on the Podium mini.
Caswell Has A Friend In Osiris
He has lots of friends on Osiris, actually, so it only makes sense that Caswell Berry is the latest member on the Osiris professional team. Is a pro shoe already in the works? You'll just have to wait and see.
Carlos And Astleford Free Agents
Just before a final video filming mission, Carlos De Andrade and Jimmy Astleford were let go from the World roster, so don't expect parts from them when the much-anticipated, first-in-forever World video drops. No word on Carlos, but Jimmy's ripping the North County streets all day, everyday, so don't expect him to just be getting "flow for too long.
Element Shoe Team Finally Revealed!
The highly speculated Element Shoes team has announced its official roster. Mike Vallely, Brent Atchley, Dallas Rockvam, and Jake Rupp are on, and there'll be more additions soon. Congratulations are in order for Jake Rupp, since he recently got married, as well.
Where Is Rene Matthyssen?
He's in Hawaii, that's where. You probably don't remember his part from New Deal's 1994 release, Children Of The Sun, but you most definitely should. Anyway, Rene is a partner in Fitted, a new limited-edition cap store specializing in New Eras. Next time you're in Honolulu, stop on by and say hi. If Rene's not around, he's most likely putting down a gnarly Smith grind in an undisclosed pool. For those who can't make it to the island, check out fittedhawaii.com.
Zero's getting ready to drop the New Blood Special Edition DVD. Expect a full Sheldon Meleshinski part and new footage from the rest of the crew, especially marauder of the year Chris Cole.
Braydon Szafranski's got the Vegas connection with Ragdoll and is now riding on Pig Wheels. Lizard King bailed the Pig pen for greener rooms with his Salt Lake homey Adam Dyet at Think. Vert veterans Neal Hendrix and Anthony Furlong are officially on helmet/pad company Triple Eight. After putting out two video parts in one year, Torey Pudwill is getting flowed Alien Workshop boxes. Brandon Westgate flew the coop at 5Boro for a spot in the Birdhouse. Wieger Van Wageningen is pro for The Firm.
Emmanuel Guzman is deservedly pro for his hometown's namesake board company, Santa Cruz. And Tommy Fynn from New Zealand is its new am. Santa Cruz's new video Out There... featuring its newly revamp and quite international team should be out by the time you read this.
Johnny Layton is Spitfire's latest acquisition and word on the street is that he and Mike Rusczyk may soon have boards with their names on them from Toy Machine and Foundation, respectively.

Over the weekend, Donald Trump's running mate, Mike Pence, inadvertently created an internet frenzy when he posted a picture of his family on Twitter.
What appears to be a normal photo of Pence, his wife and daughter grabbing a quick meal at Chili's – of all places – has people questioning if something supernatural is in the works (not really, but just play along).
Can you spot what's off?
If you look closely, you'll notice that Pence's daughter, Charlotte, has no reflection in the mirror.
Pence and his wife Karen's reflections can both be seen, but Charlotte's is non-existent.
Conclusion? She's a vampire.

an act of speaking one's thoughts aloud when by oneself or regardless of any hearers, especially by a character in a play
Henry County is back at it with versatile artists on the come up! Bando Beatz and 2 LIT 2 QUIT GANG member Skygod Spence recently released his video for "1000" off his 2015 EP, Built to Stunt. Directed by Donny Slater, the clip is a melting pot of well-framed angles and soft focus camerawork, but what really makes it work is Spence's hype and enthusiasm. It's only right to ask ya' boy how he obtained so much juice in this piece, because artists who rap with true passion and throw off so much infectious energy do not just fall out of the sky. Being a rapper in Atlanta, some people really do believe these guys just come out of the alleys like shadows with a voice, but not every artist is a stray cat meowing random lyrics. Skygod Spence's vocal on "1000" is like hot steam that blows and echoes through a listener's ears, making them want to push replay over and over again.
To help get his soliloquy started, we asked Spence to talk about how he got his start in hip-hop, his influences, and how he wants to be known as an artist. Here's what he had to say:
"I wanna be an underground icon 'cause I don't want to be another black face for a white man to sell. They put these labels on you and try keep you stuck in a box as a 'rapper.' My wave is no wave. I don't have a label you can put on me. I don't want to have crossover hits. I just want to influence the kids looking up to me and be a voice for the people I'm with on the daily who can't be heard.
I started writing raps when I was 13, I think. Lil Wayne made me wanna be a rapper because he looked like he had the whole world at his feet. I wanted that lifestyle. I started recording when I was 16 in my homie Shaq's basement. Humble beginnings. Shoutout Winslow.
I do music because I think that's what God put me on earth to do. I'm trying to leave a positive influence on every person I come in contact with. I do music so me and it will be remembered long after I'm dead. Only God knows what major opportunity lies ahead of me. I'm working on a new album executive produced by Ron Shaw called Pretty Blue. We're trying to make that a very special project so hopefully it opens the doors for those major opportunities.
My influences are the people I surround myself with on a daily basis, Bando Beatz… Women. I don't look to other rappers in the spotlight. I fuck with A$AP Bari and Frank Ocean, though. I wanna impact the culture but be low-key and out the way with it like them. My influences come from real life."
Skygod Spence's latest mixtape, BLACKBRADPITT, dropped last month and is available for streaming via SoundCloud. Check out the video for "1000" below.

Key signatures may not be for those seeking out beginning guitar lessons. This is for intermediate and advanced guitar players. In order to become a good guitar player, this information won't help a bit, especially in the early stages of learning. Lots of players such as myself have a thirst for knowledge. I hope you find this interesting.
Key signatures are another critical concept and component of reading and writing musical notation. There is a tremendous amount of material to absorb in this book, and this may require the most memory skills. The key signature is carefully placed after the clef symbol on the grand staff to simplify the reading and writing process. By putting the key signature right after the clef sign, rather than elsewhere, musical notation becomes less confusing to read.
The beginning and ending notes of a major scale are called the keynote/s. They may also be referred to as the tonic or root note of the scale. This indicates that the keynote becomes the name of the scale, and is the first note of the scale. So, if a piece of music is in the bG [G-flat] major scale, it is in the key of bG [G-flat] major.
Sharps and flats are used to produce the needed and correct interval patterns between whole and half notes. The system allows for the flats or sharps to be consistent thorough out the piece of music, unless one particular note has an added accidental. Otherwise, as learned earlier, the flats or sharps right after the clef are to be followed throughout the composition. The signature tells you the key, and the clef identifies in sharps or flats* [see* below] the letter name of the keynote, [A, B, C, D, E, F, etc.].
The set of sharps that determine a specific key signature are as follows: F C G D A E B.
The way to use flats is simple in theory, reverse the order: B E A D G C F.
*There are only two keys that do not use any sharps or flats. C major and C minor.
Each sharp or flat indicates, the raising of, or lowering of the tone of the note with which it is associated, by one semitone.
The major scale system can arranged in a certain pattern which is called the Circle of Fifths. A circle of fifths may be described as an added sharp which corresponds to each key. So every sharp added to the signature key produces a key which is a perfect fifth interval higher than the previous key. Every minor key has a relative major to it.
When turned counterclockwise, the addition of flats that correspond appropriately are called the relative minor. Each added flat produces a key which is one perfect fifth lower than the prior key. Every major key has a relative minor linked with it.
More specifically, the circle of fifths is a closed circle arranged with all 12 pitch names so that when turned clockwise on the circle, the perfect 5th interval or sharps pattern emerges. The opposite is true for flats. The tool helps to visualize, learn and remember key signatures, and to find the related keys and remember the order of sharps and flats in key signatures. I have a circle of fifths wheel. It is invaluable to the beginner.

PATTAYA, Thailand, Oct 26 (Reuters) Annika Sorenstam has won almost everything golf has to offer, but the 10-times major winner admits she did everything she could to avoid capturing titles as a timid youngster.
''I used to be shy and I'd lose tournaments on purpose to avoid making winner's speeches,'' Sorenstam told Reuters in an interview after a sweltering session slugging golf balls on the driving range at the Siam Country Club in Pattaya.
Sorenstam is in Pattaya to play in the Honda LPGA Thailand tournament.
''The speeches scared me so I'd miss important shots at the end because second place never had to say anything in public.'' Eventually, Sorenstam's coaches realised what was going on and found a way to transform the apparently unlucky Swede from a perennial loser to one of sport's most decorated winners.
''They figured something was going on so they made first place, runner up and third place give a speech too,'' she said with a laugh.
''It wasn't that difficult and right then I realised winning wasn't so bad.'' After that, winning became a habit.
Sorenstam went on to secure 69 LPGA victories and 15 other international tournaments. Now 37, she has won the LPGA Player of the Year award a record eight times, inclduing five in a row from 2001-2005, and is the only female golfer to shoot a round under 60.
After impressive junior performances in tennis, skiing and soccer, Sorenstam's decision to take up golf no doubt came as a relief to other sportswomen.
LOVED SPORTS ''I loved to ski, I was successful at tennis. I don't know how good I would have been had I tried to pursue a career,'' she said.
''I just loved sports, I hung out with guys and that made me tougher and more competitive.'' At the age of 12, Sorenstam started playing golf with her parents and shared a set of clubs with sister Charlotta, who used the odd numbered clubs leaving Annika with the even.
''Right then, I had no idea then that I would be where I am now,'' said Sorenstam, who made 16 top 10 finishes in 18 tournaments in the 2004 season. ''It was all tennis for me. I had a good handicap for a girl, so there and then, I made a switch.'' Having spent most of her career in the United States, Sorenstam says Sweden is still ''home sweet home'', even though she now speaks with an American accent.
Outside the sport, she keeps herself busy designing golf courses, playing the stock markets, taking cooking courses and raising money for the Make-A-Wish foundation, for which she was the US ambassador.
After 13 years at the top, Sorenstam admits golf can get tedious but says she has no plans to quit just yet.
''There are times I wake up and I don't want to play, but if I wasn't excited I wouldn't still be doing it,'' she said.
''There's no timeframe for me to retire. Every year, I have to see how I feel about it, but I'm competitive and I still have the drive. It has to come from the heart, from within you.'' She says she would be content if her career ended tomorrow and after winning over 20 million dollars in prize money, she no longer needs golf's riches.
She still has the passion to play and believes majors are still within her reach.
''I've won majors and I can still win them,'' she said.
''It's that feeling you get hitting that seven iron to two feet on the last hole with my heart is pumping.
''There's nothing better than coming down the stretch with chance to win the tournament. That's what it's all about.'' REUTERS BJR DS1245

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- BP Amoco bumped up West Coast oil prices by exporting Alaskan crude to Asia for less than it could have sold it to U.S. refiners, according to experts' reports and court records obtained by The Oregonian.
Gas prices on the West Coast are among the highest in the nation, with Oregon motorists averaging $1.61 for regular unleaded -- about 20 cents above the national average.
The documents, which the newspaper filed suit to obtain, were part of a Federal Trade Commission analysis of BP's proposed $26.8 million buyout last year of Atlantic Richfield Co.
In a 1995 e-mail exchange described by the newspaper, BP managers Robert Aicher and Linda Adamany discussed ''shorting the West Coast market'' to achieve ''West Coast price uplift scenarios.''
The e-mail describes shipping ANS to FE -- Alaska North Slope crude to the Far East -- to ''leverage up'' prices on the West Coast.
''When they say 'leverage up,' what does that mean?'' said economist R. Preston McAfee, one of two experts hired by the FTC. ''It means, 'We're going to jack up the West Coast price by taking some of our production and selling it at a lower price elsewhere.''
McAfee and veteran engineer Steanson B. Parks, president of a consulting firm in Dallas, both concluded for the FTC that BP had tightened oil supplies to raise the price of millions of barrels of crude oil shipped to refineries in California and Washington state since 1996.
The records were kept under seal in U.S. District Court in San Francisco after the FTC and the states of California, Oregon and Washington sought an injunction to halt the merger last year.

The Democrat's "new tone" rolls ever onward... into the ditch. After the latest vote on the Budget Repair Bill last Friday, Democrat State Representative Gordon Hintz (54th District) turned to fellow Representative Michelle Litjens (R, 56th District) and said: "You are F***ing Dead!"
Nice "new tone," isn't it? But it fits well with his pals in the teachers unions sporting Walker-is-Hitler signs not to mention how it fits with all the videos of union thugs committing violence against Tea Partiers that we've seen over the last week.
This Hintz creep is a piece of work, too. Earlier in February he got swept up in a prostitution ring in Appleton, Wisconsin. According to the Northwestern newspaper of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, Hintz was issued a municipal citation for "violating a city sexual misconduct ordinance."
The Democrat admitted his involvement and claimed that he was "willing to take responsibility for my actions."
Republican Litjens supports Gov. Walker's efforts and on Feb. 11 released this statement:
"This is precisely why the voters sent us here. They expect us to balance the budget, end the shell games and take the tough votes.
"We have very hard working state employees in Wisconsin, and this isn't about punishing them--it's about getting our state's fiscal house in order.
"No one loses their pensions or their health care coverage, and no one is being asked to take a cut in wages.
"This is simply asking our employees to contribute 12% to their health insurance, which is still half of the national average, and 5% to their pensions so that we can balance our budget and retain services."
No news how Rep. Hintz intends to kill Rep. Litjens.

I'm sorry,
I think you completely missed my point. I agree with you! Having an abortion, at any age, for any reason, is very serious because the person is ending another person's life.
Most people who are pro-choice claim that it is not a life being destroyed and that, especially early on in the pregnancy, it is an easy procedure that is very safe and could save a young girls life.
Hmm..sounds similar to an appendix - not destroying a life, relatively easy procedure, and could save the young girls life. (it is not always an emergency surgery, so I just say "could save")
"Authentic love is not a vague sentiment or a blind passion. It is an inner attitude that involves the whole human person. It is looking to the other, not to use but to serve. It is rejoicing when the other rejoices and suffers when the other suffers. Love is the gift of self." JPII

Ehsanullah, young fast bowler from Abbottabad
Ehsanullah is a 7 years old fast bowler who hails from Abbottabad. Before yesterday, there were a few people who would have known him and now there are millions who not only know him but admire his talent and abilities.
Ehsan was spotted by some female in a cricket ground in Abbottabad. Mos of the people thinks that it was none other than Sana Mir the former captain of the Pakistan women team who saw him and made a clip of his bowling.
This clip was uploaded over the social media and all of a sudden Ehsan became a superstar. The best thing about him is his smooth bowling run up and accurate action as well. here Ehsan is seen running down and bowling a ball which clearly highlights his run up and action.
Now this is absolutely amazing. Those who know about cricket know how much these two things are important. Professional players dream off such smooth run up and action.
The interesting thing is that the jump and early hand movement from Ehsan reminds us all of Ben Stokes the current English test player. Ehsan surely has a bright future ahead. The news is that former fast bowler and director of the PSL Lahore Qalandar team Aaqib Javed has already started looking for this kid.
Sana Mir would helo he locate the number of this kid and surely Aaqib will be a great mentor for him. Ehsan and players like him are the future of Pakistan cricket and they need to be groomed in the best possible way.this is the duty of the PCB.

OCALA, Fla. (AP) - A grand jury has charged a Florida man with plotting to set off explosions in Target stores so that he could gain financially from a plunge in the company's stock price.
An indictment filed Wednesday in federal court in Ocala charges 49-year-old Mark Barnett with five counts of attempted arson, possession of a destructive device and unlawful possession of a weapon.
A criminal complaint says the convicted felon offered a friend $10,000 to place packages of food filled with explosives at Target stores along the East Coast. The friend instead went to authorities. Authorities say Barnett hoped to buy Minnesota-based Target stock after the price plunged.
Barnett was previously charged, following his February arrest, with possession of a firearm affecting commerce by a previously convicted felon.
Barnett is being held at the Marion County Jail. Online court records showed no attorney listed for him.

- Kurt Smith, Kenosha, WI, Sagittarius
I had been exploring my spirituality and venturing into the realm of the astral when I stumbled upon Christina Martine. Her videos drew me in and made me question my own reality, in a positive light. Soon after that, I had the amazing opportunity to have my star chart read by Christina. It was an amazingly insightful experience. She was so calm and confident and gave me so much awesome information to understand my present, and even my future. Christina was so spot on with the analysis of my star chart, and I was amazed at her wisdom and level of knowledge on the stars and planets. She even went above and beyond and helped me find more information on my questions and e-mailed them to me separately. The experience was so perceptive, and I could not have a higher recommendation of Christina Martine!
- Molly, Washington, DC, Taurus
Christina takes her job very seriously, being super caring and supportive at the same time. After an astrology reading with her, I feel inspired and more confident with my life and my choices. Christina prepared my detailed birth chart and I was astonished how accurate it was! Having a reading with such wise and lovely person was a blast! Thank you very much Christina for your help and guidance, I really needed that.

- Debbie Daniels, US, Aquarius
I just had an Astrology Reading with Christina Martine and I just had to express how amazing I am feeling right now! I felt like she really took the time to go over every detail of my chart with me. I have a bad habit of rambling off and instead of getting annoyed with me, I felt like she really listened to what I had to say. The reading was stunningly accurate down to the tiniest details and I feel like there is an actual reason why I am who I am. I feel incredibly validated and understood. She is also just so darn nice to talk to! I felt very at ease and comfortable with her. She is clearly a great source of wisdom and insight, but she is also super chill and easy to get along with. She even went above and beyond and recommended other beneficial things for me to look into and just really went the extra mile. She helped inspire me to come face to face with my calling and empower me to go after it. I feel strong, capable, understood, and excited for my future. I highly recommend having a reading with her because she is so enlightening, accurate, and easy to connect with. It was an absolutely wonderful experience! Go to her! Go now! :D
- Katie, Knoxville, TN, Scorpio
Christina put a lot of love and energy into reading my birthchart. She was incredibility accurate and takes the time to explain everything! My session with her helped me to understand and accept myself more by both revealing and reaffirming so many personal details about my soul, personality, and ego. She also channeled information specifically tailored to me that I really needed to hear. Christina is a caring, nonjudgmental with so much talent to help others grow spiritually on their journey.
- Jillian, Hutchinson, MN, Pisces
My astrological reading with Christina was stellar. Her delivery is very lucid and the information comes through like the constellations on a crisp winter night! Thank you so much!!

Bethlehem Standoff Drags On ... According to the Associated Press, Israeli tanks today released clouds of white smoke and troops are firing stun grenades near the besieged Church of the Nativity. Meanwhile, the 200 Palestinians and three dozen clergy holed up inside the church are now "drinking tea brewed from stagnant water collected in an ancient cistern and are becoming weak from a lack of nutrition," two of their leaders said in interviews on their cell phones. But they also said they were unwilling to surrender or accept an Israeli proposal to go into exile.
On April 14, Israeli officials had attempted to make a deal with the Vatican: "We have approached the Vatican and told them that we want to respect the holiness of the place," Israel's Foreign Minister Shimon Peres said in an interview with CNN. He said the gunmen would have the choice between leaving unarmed to another country, or stand trial in Israel. The Palestinians refused.
Pope Supports Efforts to End Abuse, Cardinal Skips Mass ... Pope John Paul II is "solidly behind" efforts to prevent sexual abuse by priests and to "heal the wounds caused by such abuse in the past," the head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops said Sunday. Bishop Wilton D. Gregory of Belleville, Ill., told reporters that the Pope and other church officials have been discussing the scandal during their twice-yearly meeting at the Vatican. Gregory said the group had not discussed the case of Cardinal Bernard Law of Boston, who is under mounting pressure to resign over his handling of cases of sexual abuse by priests.
On Sunday, Cardinal Law, who is the highest-ranking Catholic prelate in the U.S., did not celebrate Mass but instead remained in his chancery. Except for times of travel or illness, Law has not skipped Mass at his cathedral since 1984.
Episcopal Church Consecrates First Native American Woman to Episcopate ... The Episcopal Church "set another place at its table of inclusivity" April 6 when it ordained Carol Joy Gallagher as suffragan bishop in the Diocese of Southern Virginia---the first Cherokee woman to join the episcopate in the worldwide Anglican Communion.
According to the Episcopal News Service, the consecration service was held at St. Paul's College in Lawrenceville, Va., one of the three historically black colleges supported by the Episcopal Church. The liturgy of nearly three hours was a blend of traditional Anglican liturgy mixed with soul music and Native American elements--especially from Gallagher's Cherokee heritage that comes from her mother, Betty WalkingStick Theobald. The new bishop's great-great-great-grandmother walked the Trail of Tears from North Carolina to Oklahoma in the 1830s. Her father, a Presbyterian minister, is dead.
