The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.

A few month ago we have replaced the old Yii Framework website with a rewritten version in Yii 2. While developing the new site, we also discussed the replacement of the old IPB forum software with a more modern solution, but replacing the forum together with the site would have been too much work to do at once.
From a long discussion, which started already a few years ago, we have now evaluated different forum software and decided to go with Discourse, which is an open source forum software made by the people who created also StackOverflow. We are going to replace the old forum with a Discourse instance starting tomorrow (September 4, 2018).
Here is a list of things that are going to change:
- User accounts will be managed by the website, there is no duplicate login as we have it now, and all users are signed in to the forum via SSO.
- Forum categories, topics and posts are migrated from the old forum, so no content will be lost (we might re-arrange the categories though).
- Links from the old forum should all be redirected to the new location. If you hit broken links, please report those to us!
- Watched topics and watched forums are not going to be migrated, so if you want to get notified about new posts, make sure to visit the new forum and configure your notification settings as well as update watched topics.
- User badges on the website do not include the forum posts anymore, instead we are using the Badge system by Discourse, which has a lot more badges than we had before.
- Discourse allows you to configure it to behave like a mailing list, so if you prefer to take part in Yii discussions from your email client, you can do that now.
In case you have problems logging in to the new forum, please use the Contact form or Chat to get help.
There is a forum topic for discussion on this announcement.

Lisa: lateral movement
We decided at long last to paint our dingy mustard-yellow brick a classy warm grey (more to come on that decision later), and I started to get excited about prepping the house for that process. Since I knew we eventually wanted to put on some kind of new porch overhang, I worked really hard to convince Blake we should just rip off this old aluminum one before we paint. That way, we wouldn't have to do touch-ups later if removing it uncovered some still-yellow brick that didn't get covered up again by the new and improved porch. That...was a no-go. I made a good case that the old overhang would be easy to remove, but Blake (rightly) asserted that we'd lose a lot of functionality for our guests who might be arriving mid-rainstorm. So, as a compromise, we decided to give the awning a good washing and then paint it with a layer of black to match our wrought iron in the back of the house. Here's the before:
And here's the after:
Here's the thing. I like the black paint (Behr exterior semi-gloss primer/paint in Black Suede) a lot in theory. I like that it matches the other wrought iron we have, and I like that it ties in with the new lamp post, the mailbox, and the house numbers. I think it might look good with the gray paint when that gets done, and I like the idea of having a black accent on the house since we don't have shutters. I also think that no matter how white we paint it, our current overhang will never trick the eye into believing it's beautiful white wooden trim--I guess I like that the wrought iron isn't pretending to be something else. And above all, no matter what color the overhang is, at least it now looks clean and well-maintained. That's got to be an improvement, right?
In practice...I don't know that it's that great-looking. With the dark front door, I think it makes sort of a dark hole at the front, rather than letting either the door or the overhang make a dramatic statement. We haven't lost anything, since it was already ugly before and we can still replace it eventually like we planned (and paint is cheap). I guess we'll wait and see once we get the rest of the paint on. Stay tuned!

18th Century Lacquer
This wallcovering emulates the luxurious antique finish of rarely-encountered 18th century examples of lacquer on linen. Roger says he has found it on several small boxes, a screen and a commode. "Their well loved, aged surfaces reveal the structure of the weave beneath their glossy colors encouraged by uneven wear," he says. "I cherish this rich surface for its illusion of light reflected on water as seen from a distance on a clear night."

If you read my article yesterday it seemed that Expedia cancelled many of the reservations booked via their Tuesday coupons. They claimed that those coupons were only meant to go to Discover card holders however they worked for pretty much any card. You can read more about this in my previous post here.
Personally I had booked two reservations under my parents names for a holiday in Crete. As I am also following the comments on Miles to Memories article about the issue I saw that some people had successfully called and re-booked their holidays with Expedia. I decided I had nothing to lose and just gave it ago.
Oh boy! It turned out to be even better than the Discover coupon. After waiting on the line for an hour again I spoke with two customer service people who said they couldn't do anything about it. I politely asked to speak to the supervisor who after checking the account said it was Expedia's IT mistake rather than my mistake since the coupons were working with any card.
He proactively said he will go ahead and apply a $200 coupon to my account for future bookings. I can use this not only for hotel bookings but pretty much for any other Expedia product, such as flights, hotels and car rentals. It seemed that only one of my reservations was cancelled however he did mention it was better to manually cancel the second one so he can apply a coupon to it as well. This way he saved me time from calling again! Which means I ended up with $400 over two accounts.
What I gather from my conversation and the comments of other people, It looks like supervisors are aware of the issue and they are proactively rebooking or applying coupons to people's accounts.
I honestly didn't expect this from Expedia, I was only thinking of emailing them. I am so glad I did call them. If you had your reservation cancelled then I would suggest you give them a call and ask to speak to a supervisor. Be polite and just let them know that you would like to re-book your hotel, it might all work OK after all.
Now my dilemma is- Do I rebook my parents or I use the coupons myself. 😉
JT, a reader commented with a very interesting story about Expedia's response as of today for the thousand of people who called. It might be worth checking in the comments section before giving them a call.

Mysteries of the Orthopedic Pillow
The orthopedic pillow is one of the latest gadgets that are being used to control the habitual pains that people face when they are trying to get some rest. The pain that people feel within their skeletal system is based on stresses and pains that come about as a result of overuse or strenuous activity.
The bedroom is supposed to be the resting place when such troubles are put away but unfortunately it can become the scene of even more pain if the person does not take steps to increase their pain killer intake. This does not have to be the case because the orthopedic pillow does provide some natural relief. This is a pillow that is meant to cater for the problems of the back and other joints through fitting round the body of the subject.
The Neck Pain Pillow
When one is selecting the neck pain pillow, it is imperative that there is some assessment as the existing damage that the body is carrying because this will inform any efforts to provide relief to the person. For example the patient may be old and infirm thus the need for the neck pain pillow.
On the other hand they might have suffered a serious accident which makes it imperative that they have some sort of support within the bedroom structure. This will relieve the pain in the back and other parts of the body. The neck pain pillow is a relatively low cost option of dealing with an endemic problem that can reduce the quality of life for the person concerned. Effective neck pain pillow could avoid other health problems such as headache and a Greek neck.Watch movie online The Transporter Refueled (2015)
Back Pain Treatment
The various methods of back pain treatment rely on the ability of the patient to access both medical and therapeutic solutions to their problem. The medical side of things might involve the regular and controlled ingestion of generic pain killers and anti inflammatory drugs. This reduces the pain and will control the swelling.
Long term solutions in back pain treatment might involve therapy where the patient undergoes certain exercises such as yoga which are meant to increase their skeletal strength as well as building the muscles that will diffuse the back pain. For some people the back pain treatment will remain a lifelong exercise that requires regular reviews and updates depending on the condition. To achieve long term back pain treatment , both self medication and medical therapy is the more likely long term solution.

From Kathmandu to the border (Belahiya)
To reach the border we had to buy a bus ticket to Sunauli.
After obtaining the Indian visa as we wanted, we had not much time to cross the border. We decided to go in the evening after receiving passports with visa stamps.
Some travel agents have argued that no overnight bus ticket to Sunauli is available, as the road to the border is closed at night for a distance of thirty kilometers due to a large number of accidents. In the end, however, we were recommended to go to Gongabu – New Bus Park – located on the north-western edge of the city. The day before our planned departure from Kathmandu, we went all the brigade for a walk to Gongabu.
We headed directly to the window. There was no difficulty in buying a night bus ticket to Sunauli (Belahiya). To the surprise it did not cost 700 or 800, as previously bought tickets Kathmandu – Sunauli. It costed 500 NRS for one place. The surprise was not right – we forgot that the travel agencies we bought before were intermediaries, and the Gongab window is a direct service provider. Departure the next day at 8 pm, 7.30 pm check in of passengers.
Our visas were settled successfully on Monday and we headed straight for a walk with all our backpacks, making stops for a beer and coke at Gongabu, not far from the Indian Visa Service Center. The road to the north of the city where Gongabu is located begins with a narrow street along the red wall, just behind the Visa Center.
In The Bus.
When it was almost 7.30 pm we showed our ticket it the window and they showed us the bus. We packed the toddlers and backpacks to the bus, pressing the driver to put bags in the trunk, not on the roof and we waited calmly on departure.
Departure was punctual, scheduled arrival was about 6 am. According to the information we received, Nepal Immigration Office is opened at 5 so that we could immediately cross the border.
During the trip the tube has gone in left wheel and at two in the morning they glued it and putted on. Then, in another parking place, the ride stopped slightly longer. Maybe the road was really closed, or maybe the driver decided not to ride with his weak inner tube in the dark after muddy holes created by the monsoon rain. With the dawn the bus started. At six, we were not yet in Belahiya.
About seven o'clock the same tube went again. The bus stopped, the service went to see the wheel and then returned, patting the driver on the shoulder and we went on. About half an hour later we stopped at the vulcanisation where the staff took another wheel, telling us – impatient travelers – that they would pick it up on the way back.
But about nine o'clock, while eating another breakfast, the nearby vulcanisation took care of our circle and its glueing with the accompaniment of the Hindu crowd. My sisters besides eating, dealt with small but bold Indian girl, daughter of the owner of the shop, which was in possession of a fascinating toy made by dad – a stone tied with a string.
At last we went further and – according to information – we planned to reach Belahiya at 11 pm. We did not stop anymore, except for an object that probably was a post office – bus service dropped a dozen bags looking like letter bags. By the time we got to the border, we were still passing some small towns, and one by one, someone was getting off. Eventually we got around 11.30 pm on the spot.
On the borders.
The temperature difference between Kathmandu and the Nepal border with India was drastic – the heat struck us with redoubled strength. And this was just the beginning
We immediately went to the Nepal Imigration Office, dropped our backpacks there – and since there were so many people – we went to eat the last momo and spend the last Nepali rupees.
Then we filled out our forms, checked out from Nepal and went to the border. And here's the news – the new security arrived checking backpacks and us – this never happened in this place before. The service did not look so delighted with their function and they did everything quickly, which did not change the fact that our neatly stuffed belongings had to be re-composed what and where to put it. We've been checked carefully.
In the end we finally went on and just behind the gates with the Indian security, the world changed. The smell reminded India.
We checked in at the Indian Imigration Office, where we were once again experiencing a temperature shock. After about two hours spent in cross-border heat we entered a room where several fans were concerned .
With the stamps in our passports we went to get on the bus to Gorakhpur – the nearest transport hub. Ticket – 99 NRS per person. It leaves – according to data from the Indian Imigration Office – every 15 minutes. The city was 90 km away, which meant three hours of travel.
In fact, we got to the Gorakhpur train station after about four hours, as the bus passed trough the entire city.

AMD revenue warning signals deep chip slump; shares dive 4%
Chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices Inc on Thursday provided third-quarter revenue estimates that were about a billion dollars less than previously forecast, signaling the chip slump could be much worse than expected.
AMD shares dropped 4% in after hours trading, dragging down shares of Nvidia Corp and Intel Corp by over 2%.
"The PC market weakened significantly in the quarter," Chief Executive Officer Lisa Su said in a statement, adding that macroeconomic conditions drove PC demand lower than expected.
Runaway inflation and the reopening of offices and schools have led people to spend less on PCs than they did during lockdowns when many bought computers for work and school as they stayed home during the pandemic. Chipmakers are also under pressure from COVID curbs in key PC market China, while the Ukraine war has worsened supply-chain snarls and dragged demand further.
The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index, which tracks prices of major silicon-producing and allied businesses, has fallen 36.4% this year so far, compared to a 41.2% rise in 2021.
"I think AMD is showing that nobody is safe from the post-pandemic PC downturn, and those inventory corrections are also impacting the company," said Anshel Sag, chip analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy. "Overall, this looks to be more of a cyclical correction within a single, albeit large, business unit rather than a structural or strategic one."
Su said AMD's data center, embedded, and gaming segments maintained strong growth.
The company said it expects third-quarter revenue of about $5.6 billion. That compares with its forecast in August of $6.7 billion, plus or minus $200 million.
AMD is the latest chipmaker to be hit by the sector's slump. Last week memory chip maker Micron Technology warned of tougher times and said it was cutting its capex investments in fiscal 2023 by over 30% to a total of $8 billion. Nvidia Corp and Intel Corp both delivered much worse than expected earnings in their latest reports.
AMD said its earnings will be released Nov. 1. Reuters

Today sees something of an oddity, for two high-powered CEOs and an army of legal help will sit down and try to thrash out an end to one of the longest, most tedious legal battles we can think of. There may be blood!
Some stories just won't die, especially rumors of products that may or may not be on the cards. Some stories just won't die because two technology giants refuse to act like grownups and stop bickering over who is infringing upon who's patents, and whether you can have two icons that look identical but are actually different.
Can you guess which one we are going to be talking about today? We bet you can!
Today sees the latest installment in the ongoing saga that has seen Apple and Samsung take a patent-based legal battle to all four corners of the globe. Both parties believe that the other is in the wrong on multiple counts, whilst they both stand by their belief that they have not infringed upon any of the other's patents or intellectual properties. It's a typical case of each company blaming the other, and it has seen various court battles around the world result in possible fines, sales bans and general embarrassment. That's to say they aren't both embarrassed enough about the entire thing, but there you go.
As legal wars go, though, today sees something a little different. Growing tired of all the back and forth spats so far, an American court has ordered that both Apple and Google send their CEOs to sit down, in the same room, at the same time, and actually discuss the issue face-to-face. Oh the humanity of it all!
The situation is simple: both Tim Cook and Choi Gee-sung will be asked to try and come to some sort of agreement over how to carry things forward. Unfortunately we don't see this being a case of two men sat chatting over a cup of coffee, but rather a room full of lawyers that lock horns while the two CEOs watch. If anything of real consequence comes out of the meeting, we will all be very surprised.
Still, stranger things have happened, and just a few short weeks away we would have said the chances of such a meeting even taking place were nil. Now, here we are, and let's just hope the two warring factions can play nicely.
Just this once.

I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you make know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come." (Eph. 1:17-22)

According to Adam Rubin of ESPN, the New York Mets are open to the idea of trading first baseman Ike Davis this offseason if it will help them improve other areas of the team. Via ESPNNewYork:
The Mets will consider trading Ike Davis this offseason as a way to upgrade other areas of the team and open a spot for Lucas Duda at his natural position, a baseball source told ESPNNewYork.com.
Davis started the season in awful fashion, but he's been much better since June. His batting average now sits at .223 after being well under .200 for the early portion of the season. More importantly, though, Davis has hit 27 homeruns while playing above average defense at first base, something that should see the 25-year-old retain some decent trade value.
The Mets have a natural replacement for Davis in Lucas Duda. Duda is best suited defensively to first base, and he's much like Davis in his decent power, good plate discipline and low batting average profile. He's struggled mightily in the outfield this season for the Mets, so much so that he was briefly demoted to AAA Buffalo to work on the defensive portion of his game.
The Mets have obvious holes in the outfield and bullpen that they need to address this winter. They could also look at an upgrade behind the plate.

It seems like these days everyone is talking about the cloud… Whether you're new to the technology space, the accounting industry, or both, the phrase "cloud accounting" is probably something that you're hearing a lot about. But what is cloud accounting? If you're unsure, or still in the exploratory phase, this blog is for you!
Cloud accounting software products vary in complexity and features offered, with many products designed for use by companies of a certain size, such as enterprise-level businesses or SMBs. Depending on the scale of the solution, features for payroll, time tracking, or expenses are easy to utilize.
Cloud computing has increasingly become a solution for organizations. It's an innovative and increasingly popular model of software deployment that offers enterprise-class software function without traditional up-front infrastructure costs or the unpredictable support and maintenance costs of on-site software and hardware – from infrastructure to security to personal productivity to workflow.
Cloud accounting software leverages cloud hosting on remote servers, similar (Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) models, but with the flexibility, scalability and collaborative force of working in the cloud. With cloud accounting, finance teams can benefit from real-time reporting and visibility throughout an organization, with mobile collaboration empowering teams to keep accounts balanced, accurate and updated any time, any day and from any location – accounting efficiency and transparent financial management never stop.
Today's leading solutions, such as Sage Intacct, deliver real-time business visibility via easy to create dashboards and reports. Comprehensive financial consolidation, reporting, and analysis across multiple business entities. Anywhere, anytime expense report submission, approval, audit, and reimbursement, increasing visibility into your company's travel and expense spending patterns. Plus, an increased cash flow due to on-time payments and shorter sales cycles
Ask yourself:
- Do you want to shorten your monthly close from seven to just two days, and cut the time you spend generating standard financial statements and employee revenue reports by ten hours a month?
- Would you like your business to go from spending nearly four days a month combining and reconciling financials in Excel, to automated processes that allow you to focus on reviewing and understanding your financial analytics?
- Do you want to start working with a user-friendly solution that would eliminate the need for duplicate data entry, streamline revenue management and other financial processes; reduced monthly close by one full day each month?
- Would you like to gain the ability to easily track, manage, and report on profitability and other financial trends across multiple entities – helping your enterprise make optimized, informed decisions on everything from staff utilization to vendor relationships?
- Did you know accounting software can also be a module of or integrated within a company's ERP suite – and accounting software can help your organization streamline and automate finance management processes?
The reality today is, accounting is one of the key business operations increasingly shifting to the cloud. Companies can choose from a variety of cloud-based software to handle budgeting for different projects and departments, performing financial forecasting, tracking accounts payable and receivable, managing cash flow, and generating financial reports.
Three cloud accounting services qualities to look for.
- Strong Security: Given the sensitivity of financial information, and how attractive cyber criminals find it, security is a top priority for cloud accounting. Security includes powerful encryption, firewalls, anti-malware programs, and reliable methods of preventing unauthorized log-ins. Round-the-clock monitoring is another protective measure used to detect suspicious activities and block intrusions. Only employees who have received the appropriate privileges should access the data.
- Software Reliability: Minimal downtime is an important proof of a program's reliability. No matter what device you're using to access your cloud accounting solution, and no matter what time of day it is, it's available. Furthermore, you enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your data is backed up, and that you can recover it quickly should you experience an IT disruption. Backups of your data should exist in more than one location, and should capture your data regularly throughout the day. Should you need to restore your data, you won't have to rely on outdated backups.
- Cloud Clarity: Cloud accounting is potentially dynamic, giving you a real-time picture of your company's finances at different levels and for different projects and operations. The cloud accounting service you use should allow you to perform analyses in a straightforward way and develop meaningful predictions. It should help you easily create reports showing both the current state of your finances and projections for the coming months and years.
As companies grow, they need to manage more clients, transactions, and currencies. Cloud accounting software solutions, such as Sage Intacct, can help businesses scale quickly and easily to meet growing operational demands. Cloud accounting solutions present cost effective alternatives to traditional on-site ERP systems. Cloud accounting is a great choice if you want to do away with worrying about upgrades and maintenance fees – and it's flexible because you pay only for users currently in the system. Deployment is quick and efficient. It's time to look at the cloud in a different light when it comes to financial management – cloud accounting is here to stay.

The adder's tongue fern resembles the cuckoo-pint and the Arum or Calla lily, but you can see it in the months of June to August only (at least in
), as it unfurls a solitary leaf or frond. A spike growing in the middle of the leaf holds this fern's reproductive spores, which is how it gets the name adder's tongue. The rest of the year there is only the rhizome underground. Ophios means snake in Greek and glossa is tongue, so that is the meaning of its genus appellation, while vulgatum is Latin for common. Britain
It is native to
Europe, including and has a range which extends from Britain through to Iceland North Africa and north and west Asia. It is related to the other British ferns, polypody, the maidenhair fern, hart's tongue, bracken, moonwort and horsetail.
Because the ancient herbalists believed that like cured like, and thought that the spike looked like a snake's tongue, this fern was used as an antidote to snake bites. (They believed that red herbs and flowers were good for the blood and so on.)
The leaves of this fern are reportedly edible when cooked and can be used as a green vegetable. The distilled water of the plant was used for eye problems, and the ointment Culpepper describes was know as Green Oil of Charity, made from two pounds (one kilo approximately) of leaves, ½ pint of oil and 1½ pounds of suet all melted together, and boiled until the leaves were crispy, then strained and used for ointment for wounds.
the plant doesn't grow very tall, perhaps to around ten centimetres, so it is difficult to spot it in long grass. It can grow to around 30 centimetres or approximately one foot, and is rare now except in southern Britain . The central spike can grow to around forty centimetres, with to rows of spores on it. It is thought to be a good indication of places where there were ancient meadows, as are couch grass and the early purple orchid. England
The English herbalist, Nicholas Culpeper, writing his Complete Herball in the 17th century has this to say of Adder's tongue: -
"It is temperate in respect of heat, but dry in the second degree. The juice of the leaves, drank with the distilled water of horse-tail, is a singular remedy for all manner of wounds in the breasts, bowels, or other parts of the body, and is given with good success to those that are troubled with casting, vomiting, or bleeding at the mouth or nose, or otherwise downwards. The said juice given in the distilled water of oaken buds, is very good for women who have their usual courses, or the whites flowing down too abundantly. It helps sore eyes. Of the leaves infused or boiled in oil, omphacine or unripe olives, set in the sun for certain days, or the green leaves sufficiently boiled in the said oil, is made an excellent green balsam, not only for green and fresh wounds, but also for old and inveterate ulcers, especially if a little fine clear turpentine be dissolved therein. It also stayeth and refresheth all inflammations that arise upon pains by hurts and wounds."

9th Visual and Cultural Studies Graduate Conference University of Rochester April 5-7, 2013
Deadline: Submit a 250-word abstract for 20 minute paper presentations and CV via email@example.com by no later than January 15, 2013.
As cultural critics have noted over the past thirty years, we seem to be living in an age of dematerialization. Increased information transfer speed, the disintegration of boundaries between private and public, and the commercialization of image networks have provoked anxiety regarding the control of objects and images. Yet, taking a critical stance toward the temporal thrust of this thinking—its teleology, its faith in progress—we seek to historicize this anxiety as merely another renegotiation in a continually evolving relation of time and matter. Has our relationship to material objects ever been fixed?
While indebted to the work of material culture studies, we invite papers from a wider range of topics of relevance and disciplines that address questions of materiality and temporality. We understand the relationship between material and time to develop in at least three distinct ways: material in our time, material that generates temporalities, and material that endures. Possible topics might include, but are by no means limited to:
• The relationship between technological and historical change • Trends in preservation and the time of the archive • The development of global heritage and the phenomenon of immaterial culture • Historical phenomenology • The materiality of language • The conditions of materiality in the digital age • The legacies of historical materialism • The durability of digital objects • The historical conditions of contemporary visual culture • Historical monuments and collective memory
Select presenters will be invited to revise presentations into journal articles for a special issue of InVisible Culture: An Electronic Journal of Visual Culture. http://ivc.lib.rochester.edu

Education empowers communities and enables effective accountability between individuals, scientists, government, business and the charity sector. Geo-education is no exception, and while natural hazards education is only one area of this, it demonstrates well the importance of knowledge exchange. In this first blog, from the EGU Press Office, I explore this theme further, reflecting on the role of organisations such as EGU in equipping geoscientists to educate and reporting back on a session yesterday on natural hazards education and communication.
What are the warning signs that a slope may be about to fail? Why should a community water project be at a certain distance from a latrine, and what distance? When is the best time to conduct a survey for a new water project? What are the possible environmental dangers and economic opportunities of a new nickel mining project?
As geologists it's easy to take for granted the understanding we develop over our training and careers. Most of us could give reasonable, accurate and comprehensive answers to the above questions without much thought. For others, however, a lack of opportunities for education, for discussion, for mutual knowledge exchange means they can't.
Imagine… The consequences of an emergency settlement being built in a valley highly susceptible to debris flows. A water source offering 'clean-water' to a community for the first time being build next to a latrine, meaning the water is as dangerous as it was before. A survey for a water project being done at the end of rainy season, and the project failing when dry season arrives. Exploration in a region known to have nickel, and communities only having rumours to base their opinion, monitoring and ability to hold the company to account.
All of the above examples are things I've witnessed and discussed with people over the past few years. They resulted in decisions being made that had to be rectified, at high expense. They generated emotions of fear and frustration. Sickness, lost income, and lost education were all characteristics of failed water projects. Tragically, there is a high chance that death was also triggered by this lack of understanding. Similar decisions and consequences can be seen in the geoscience community also, where the lack of understanding is with regards social science, communication skills or engagement of stakeholder groups.
Scientia potentia est
The phrase 'knowledge is power' has been around for hundreds of years. When people expand their understanding, they are empowered to make balanced, well informed decisions that can transform their own lives that their communities. They can hold governments, industry, NGOs to account. When industries, NGOs and Governments expand their understanding, they can make better decisions, better serve in-country communities. When we as geologists expand our understanding – we can do our jobs better, integrating relevant socio-economic or cultural information to better manage work or research we undertake overseas.
There is a long and wide literature on different aspects of education, the importance of all stakeholders coming as equals, having information to contribute and co-generating new knowledge through research, discussions and other tools. Put simply, however, each individual has much to learn and much to share. Whether we choose to share the information we have with those who want to and need to understand it, depends on factors ranging from time, altruism, opportunities to engage, and confidence to share. When people are at risk of losing their livelihood, access to education, health or even lives, due to lack of geoscience understanding – we must carefully assess what we can do to maximise sharing, dissemination and discussion of our geoscience knowledge and research.
Equipping to Educate Effectively
If we are to see an increase in 'global geoscience literacy' – the ability of the general public to understand and use geoscience information – we need geoscientists who are equipped to educate effectively. The power of social media, the ability to engage people around the world at relatively low cost, the importance of developing sustainable education programmes and the high value of investing in educating women and children must be recognised. Culture changes are required in the training of young geoscientists at college, graduate and doctoral level. Universities must recognise that education and public outreach is not a sign of a failing research career, but a strong commitment to their subject and its impact on society. Professional and scientific organisations, such as the EGU, must take these topics as seriously as advances in scientific research. The wide array of communications, outreach and open-access sessions at the EGU General Assembly this year demonstrates an admirable commitment to this cause. These sessions are often well attended, with lively and informative debate. They are starting to 'mainstream' these conversations, moving them from a specialist niche to the attention of the wider community.
Natural hazards education, communications and the science-policy-practice interface
Yesterday afternoon, there was a well-attended session focused on natural hazards education, communications and the science-policy-practice interface, with some innovative abstracts sharing lessons learnt and a discussion on best practice. Perspectives offered in this session came from a range of international experiences – with board games to strengthen resilience in Africa, teacher training across Central Asia to encourage teaching on earthquakes, exciting ways to assess perceptions of hazards in the Caribbean and a number of examples from Europe. Perspectives were also offered by a range of generations, with the youngest participants being two high-school students from Italy. These students were working alongside the CNR-IRPI (Italy) on the development of software to help students understand hydrological hazards. Finally, it was a session that brought together physical and social scientists to share their perspectives.
Many of the tools presented had two aims – knowledge transfer knowledge and discussion generation, simple interactive methods to promote a two-way dialogue about their experiences and understanding of natural hazards. The work of Mossoux et al (presented by Matthieu Kervyn), on the KAZAN board game for teaching natural hazards discussed this approach, as did Solmaz Mohadjer, talking about the work Parsquake undertakes on earthquake education in Central Asia. Solmaz spoke of the need to 'fill the gap between fatalism and action by talking'. Dialogue builds knowledge which in turn empowers people to take positive actions.
This was a message reinforced in a later discussion session, where participants shared their thoughts on positives and negatives when thinking about best practice in communicating natural hazards. The importance of (i) knowing your audience, not just in a superficial way, and (ii) recognising that it can take time to establish and build strong communication relationships, came across clearly.
Events such as the EGU General Assembly play an important role in enabling discussions on topics such as education and communication. While ultimately individuals must understand the relationship between education and empowerment, and proactively choose to engage in such work – it's a sign of a positive change in the culture of geoscience research and training that so much time is devoted at the EGU General Assembly to kick-starting important conversations and inspiring individuals with a passion for effective education.

Welcome back...to 2009! Wii Sports Resort is a game I have always wanted to upload...in fact, I stopped playing it in order to do just that. I never really had the time to play it, but wanted to rectify that.
My favorites, from back in the day, included Swordplay (Showdown and Duel), and Island Flyover in the Airsports section. I plan to upload all of those, and possibly dive into Cycling.
If the series does well and people want to see more, I can make that happen as well. This game is a true gem and Island Flyover is one of the most relaxing non-Animal Crossing games I have ever played (I still wish you could unlock longer, or unlimited flight times tho!).
Part 1 is already out and has been very well received....it seems many of you have the same fond memories of this classic Wii game! Thanks for your support and stay tuned for more!

CHICAGO – The great and lofty Steppenwolf Theatre of Chicago has brought the current political season right on target with "POTUS: Or Behind Every Great Dumbass are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive," now extended through December 17th. Click POTUS.
Interview: Comic Actor Matt Walsh Goes 'Into the Storm'Submitted by PatrickMcD on August 7, 2014 - 9:54am
CHICAGO – Matt Walsh has been more visible lately, and it has much to do with his approach to character roles, beginning as Mike McLintock on the HBO series "Veep" and currently in the new film "Into the Storm." For a Chicago native who began doing comedy improvisation here, he is moving on up.
Blu-ray Review: Trio of HBO Comedies in 'Bored to Death,' 'How to Make It in America,' 'Hung'Submitted by BrianTT on September 10, 2012 - 8:54am
CHICAGO – HBO finally broke through with their first major new comedy successes since "Entourage" this year with the amazing "Girls" and "Veep." There were a few growing pains between the critical darlings however, a trio of shows that never quite took off like their breakthrough network hoped they would. And yet there are things to like about at least two of them and they probably have some loyal audiences who want to own them on Blu-ray. Now they can.
TV News: HBO Renews 'Enlightened,' Cancels Three Other SeriesSubmitted by BrianTT on December 20, 2011 - 1:14pm
CHICAGO – HBO has such a limited amount of series and so many critical darlings that when they announce a renewal or a cancellation it carries more weight than most networks. They announced four today with no major surprises as we all expected that Golden Globe-nominated "Enlightened" would return for a second season and even fans of "Hung," "Bored to Death," and "How to Make It in America" could have guessed that those series were headed in the other direction.
TV Review: Mediocre 'Hung,' 'How to Make It in America' Return to HBOSubmitted by BrianTT on September 30, 2011 - 12:39pm
CHICAGO – Not all HBO shows are created equal. While critics have devoted thousands of words to the brilliance of shows like "Boardwalk Empire," "Curb Your Enthusiasm," and "Game of Thrones," a few other offerings from the most important TV network of the last quarter-century have gone under the radar.
TV News: HBO Announces Fall Premiere Dates Including 'Boardwalk Empire'Submitted by BrianTT on July 29, 2011 - 12:57pm
CHICAGO – In the heat of HBO summer broadcasting, currently in seasons of "True Blood" "Entourage" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm," the network has announced some important dates coming this fall. Most importantly, the hit crime drama "Boardwalk Empire" is set to make its season two debut on Sunday September 25.
The 10 Best Shows to Watch in Summer 2010Submitted by BrianTT on July 22, 2010 - 10:13pm
CHICAGO – While we all eagerly await the return of our favorite shows and wonder if the networks can top last season's remarkable freshman class, there are a number of programs currently airing that are definitely worth considering when the heat index breaks 100 or you don't want to risk another summer thunderstorm.
TV Review: HBO's 'Hung' Hopes Viewers Are Ready For Second DateSubmitted by BrianTT on June 27, 2010 - 8:50am
CHICAGO – Male prostitute Ray Drecker (Thomas Jane) and his pimp Tanya Skagle (Jane Adams) are back in the second season premiere of "Hung," a show that improved drastically over its first year (check out our Blu-ray review here) and seems primed for continued growth in its sophomore outing. Shows like "Hung" often fine-tune their characters and themes between the first and second year and this unusual comedy is primed for breakout success.
Blu-Ray Review: 'Hung: The Complete First Season' Developed Right ChemistrySubmitted by BrianTT on June 25, 2010 - 8:55am
CHICAGO – HBO's "Hung" doesn't quite live up to the incredibly high standards of the best network on television but the sporadic writing on the show and very strong ensemble did produce enough interesting dramatic and comedic moments to warrant a look on the excellent Blu-ray release of the first season, timed to coincide with the premiere of season two on Sunday, June 27th, 2010.
TV Review: HBO's 'Hung' With Thomas Jane is Surprisingly LimpSubmitted by BrianTT on June 26, 2009 - 6:00am
CHICAGO – Pardon the obvious metaphors, but when you name a show "Hung" and feature a motivational speech about the lead character finding "his tool," it's damn-near impossible not to fall into the same pattern.

Developing Musicality
This time of year is always a wonderful time, getting to know our new friends and families and making sure they feel settled, attached and happy to be in school. We have noticed this year a wide group of children who are very interested in music and singing.
At Rachel Keeling we are fortunate to have a piano which the children can access freely. Children regularly experience Lize playing and singing beautifully during the course of the week which provides some lovely inspiration (as well as envy that I didn't stick with piano lessons as a child!) Staff are on hand to support children to press the keys gently, listen to the sounds, noticing the pitch of the notes and explore the instrument.
Practitioners observed and noted that particular children were returning to the piano on a daily basis and sustaining concentration. Some children played alone and others performed as a group. The children helped to organise the music box (containing the sheets of music) and then they relabelled the keys. This has been done with coloured stickers demarcating the notes, which then match some of our sheet music. In time, many of these children will be supported to read the notes and play simple tunes such as Twinklew Twinkle.
At a time when funding for the arts, and music in particular is being scrapped, we think it is especially important for our children to have access to this art form.
Litter Squad - Save our Planet
At Rachel Keeling Nursery School we have been considering our impact on the planet for some time. Supporting children and families to consider the environment and sustainability of our planet in their day to day lives.
Yesterday, a group of wonderful children and parents came to Meath Gardens to join a litter pick. Despite the stormy clouds and rain, we donned his-vis jackets and gloves, grabbed our litter picker and recycling bags and set about spotting and gathering litter. We were joined by the wonderful Iren from the London Borough of Tower Hamlets and Maud from Sunny Jar Eco Hub.
The good news was there was not a lot of rubbish in the park and our children had to work very hard to find some. Passers-by saw us and commented how proud they were that children so young were helping keep their park clean.
We talked about the types of rubbish we found and some children showed an awareness of recycling "We recycle bottles at home".
When we finished, we gathered to look at what we found and talk about it. Children also used leaves and sticks to create some transient art. When we finished we left the leaves and sticks behind in the park and removed the recycling and rubbish.
One of our parents commented "This school is magic. Thank you. It's so important our children understand this about the world. It is their world."
We are planning a monthly Litter Pick with children and families. We hope this will encourage more people to take responsibility for their local neighbourhoods and see that we all have a responsibility to care for the world we inhabit.
If you would like further information get in touch with us or contact firstname.lastname@example.com
We would like to thank Tower Hamlets for loaning us the equipment for our expedition.
Collaborative Den Building
At Rachel Keeling Nursery School the team work very sensitively and reflectively, ensuring we balance the adult support and intervention in learning with the child led and child centred approach we know that is so empowering for our children.
This week a practitioner observed a group of children rolling around under a blanket in the garden. They suggested the children might like to make more space for themselves and create a den where they could sit up. The group were keen and set about gathering resources to make a hidey hole. After some time unsuccessfully balancing blankets over traffic cones the adult intervened again. They showed the children our bridge and thought aloud that maybe a blanket laid over that would be cosy.
After some problem solving, the children and practitioner worked together and success was theirs! Underneath the blanket now was an environment which allowed for much talk, laughter and eye contact. Children commented on the sunlight coming through the red blanket "It's the reflection" said one of them.
The children sustained play and demonstrated high levels of well-being during this experience. A wonderful example of sensitive co-collaboration between children and an adult.
Climate Action Day
As thousands of people across the UK are striking and joining protests today, we are so proud of our activists at Rachel Keeling. As many of our families and friends know, we have been working on environmental and ethical issues, supporting our children, staff and families to make responsible choices.
This week the children made banners and discussed some of the issues our planet is facing at the moment. Children showed a good awareness of water conservation, the forests in the Amazon burning and plastic in the ocean.
As it is an emergency, we gathered in the garden and rang our alarm for one minute at 1pm in solidarity for those who were striking.
Some of our children and their families then joined the rally in Westminster in the afternoon.
We at Rachel Keeling stand shoulder to shoulder with our brothers and sisters around the world.
Save our mother planet!
New Term, Exciting Beginnings
A new term starts with excitement and anticipation. New friends and families joining us after waiting what seems a lifetime and our returning friends and families who are adjusting to life without their peers who have moved onto Reception class.
Friendships have been rekindled, children have had rich and meaningful conversations with staff and each other, new friendships and experiences explored. For some of these younger children, it is the only time in their educational life where they will be the oldest children in their year.
Staff continue to create opportunities for children to develop their independence and confidence, alongside communication and joy!
Our new School Development Plan will be appearing here early next week (under the School Development Plan, SDP tab). Please read it and let us know if you can support us in any way. Workshops and events will be also coming up this term. You will be advised of these very soon!

Electric cars are changing a lot more than just the auto industry. Everything from electric utilities to municipalities is worried that with an influx of electric cars the grid will be unable to handle the demand.
With these issues coming to light many of those same utilities and municipalities want some kind of demand response. Essentially, they want the ability to lessen the electrical demand during peak usage in order to prevent strain on the grid which can lead to brownouts or even blackouts. While this sounds like an absolutely necessary requirement, the reality is demand response isn't needed when you use EverCharge.
What Exactly Is Demand Response
Demand response is a change in the power consumption of an electric utility customer to match the demand for power with the supply. You see, electric energy cannot be easily stored, so utilities have traditionally matched demand and supply by throttling the production rate of their power plants, taking generating units on or offline, or importing power from other utilities as needed to match the demand. In essence, demand response seeks to adjust the demand for power instead of adjusting the supply.
The reasons for this are varied but the bottom-line is that for most appliances that pull larger amounts of power this is a pretty useful thing, especially in large densely populated areas. This was designed because most appliances are unable to understand the total demand for power and can easily strain the grid during peak times when most people are home.
So why is this not needed for electric car chargers with EverCharge?
Pretty simple actually.
Power Management eliminates the Need For Demand Response

EverCharge is unique in that we create a dynamic power management system. That system allows for each of our charging stations to communicate with each other and use power to its maximum efficiency. This allows us to install more chargers at any location but also eliminate expensive infrastructure additions so we can keep electric vehicle installs affordable. As great as this is it gets better.
Our friends over at Wattblock did a study in a 100 unit building that had 100% EV adoption with and without power management and the findings are pretty amazing. Leveraging our technology essentially eliminates the need for demand response. As you can see without power management demand peaked at 666kW (an unintentionally ominous number I'm sure), whereas using power management made peak demand a mear 447kW.

This is the most extreme scenario of 100% EVs and one that will take years to fully achieve, yet it's clear to see that power management effectively eliminated the peak demand. Now imagine for a second that this wasn't just a single building leveraging EverCharge technology but rather an entire city. It's easy to see just how effective power management can be. So while demand response is a nice idea its one that's grounded in the past, companies like EverCharge have already future-proofed the grid public utilities and municipalties need to catch up.

Nicotine is a very misunderstood nootropic. Although it is the active ingredient in cigarette and other tobacco products, it has a host of scientifically-proven cognitive benefits. Although it can be addictive, most of the adverse and addictive effects of nicotine are associated with smoking tobacco or vaping (which also have higher doses of nicotine aside from additives and impurities). Each troche is equivalent only to 1/4th of a nicotine gum. The nicotine in Blue Cannatine is non-tobacco derived. The Troscriptions team highly recommends you avoid nicotine vaped or smoked.

Finding Similarities Between and Life

An amusing observation from my friend Sasha Volokh:
We call English-speaking people "Anglophones". But remember that Britain was settled in the 5th century not just by Angles, but also by Saxons and Jutes. Northumbria, Mercia, and East Anglia were Anglian kingdoms, Kent was a Jutish kingdom, and Wessex, Essex, and Sussex were the kingdoms of the western, eastern, and southern Saxons. (Those seven kingdoms together make up the so-called "Heptarchy".)
Anyway, as you know if you've watched The Last Kingdom, the Vikings wiped out all the kingdoms except for Wessex in the ninth century. So if the last of the surviving Anglo-Saxon kingdoms was the kingdom of the West Saxons, maybe that means we should be…
Actually, given the termination of the names of the three southern Saxon kingdoms, native speakers of English might be called "sexophones," and speak "Sexish" (not "Anglish"). (Although let us not denigrate the subsequent influence of Danish and Norman French on the development of our great tongue!)

Actress Portraying Blackfire In 'Titans' Season 2 Potentially Revealed
Anna Diop's Starfire will have her hands full during the second season of Titans. Canadian actress Oluniké Adeliyi may have revealed that she will portray Koriand'r's sister Blackfire in the DC Universe series.
Yesterday, Adeliyi posted the recently-released Titans Season 2 poster on her Instagram with the caption "Coming Soon!!! So excited and blessed to be apart of this awesome show #Titans #Titanstvseries #dcuniverse #livingthedream." In the comments of the post, fans speculated that the 42-year-old actress could be playing Blackfire, which Adeliyi seemingly confirmed by liking several comments that posed the idea.
Adeliyi is best known for her role in the 2010 horror film Saw 3D. Her other credits include the Canadian police drama Flashpoint, A Christmas Horror Story, and Starz's The Girlfriend Experience. Later this year, Adeliyi will appear alongside Felicity Huffman in the black comedy Tammy's Always Dying, which will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.
In the pages of DC Comics, Blackfire, aka Komand'r, is the eldest of the Tamaran Royal Family. She was the first princess born in over 100 years and the rightful heir to the throne. When Komand'r was a child, an illness struck her which took away her inability to harness the same powers as her younger siblings. She would grow resentful of Starfire, leading to altercations between the sisters.

Welcome to the Jungle
One of the cool things about blazing through the jungle that is being the father of two boys under the age of 8 is you get to ride a lot of wild vines. This week's ride was Elliott's 1st grade play at Henry Clay Elementary School: Welcome to the Jungle.
I admit, I went to the play fully expecting to see something cute. And only cute. Let's face it, when more than a half dozen 1st graders gather together to perform anything involving a script or any sort of a plan in general, we write off the ensuing chaos as 1st graders being 1st graders. Only in declaring it cute can we explain our own participation in it.
This was different though. When the kids walked into the gymnasium in their costumes, all handmade by some crafty and caring moms, cute was already accomplished. The kids didn't have to recite or forget a single line. A funny thing happened, though. They did start reciting. And singing. Much of it on cue and in sticking to the script, their songs pleasantly close to in-tune.
When the play was over, I actually knew I had been part of a story. One of a ferocious lion named Maliki, who gets caught in a hunter's net and ultimately rescued by the unlikeliest of jungle creatures, a tiny mouse named Panya. The whole experience bonds the creatures of the jungle, who come to see Maliki in a less ferocious light. A story of conquering fears and making friends.
Personal bias left me most impressed with the elephant in the jungle, Tembo - better known in my jungle as Elliott Cartwright. When he was asked if he wanted a speaking part in the Christmas play at our church this past Christmas, Elliott screamed no. That was as close as he came to reciting a line in that play. Then came the recent spelling bee at his school when he had to compete against other kids in his school in front of a modest audience. I didn't get to see it, but he was apparently eye-watering nervous. So I was a bit shocked to discover he had taken on a speaking part in this play.
I have to express gratitude to his teacher, Ms. Hoggan. She played a part in strongly encouraging Elliott to take on the role of Tembo. Not because we asked her to, but because she saw the play as an opportunity to push him through a fear, to grow him as a person. Who really knows, but it's possible one day we'll look back on this experience as a turning or starting point for something we can't see today. Even if not, it is encouraging to know Elliott is in a school and classroom where a child isn't defined by how he does on a test today, but by the gifts and passions that can be shaped into a young person who will thrive tomorrow.
All I know is I love living in my jungle.

Thanks Megan. I was so impressed by the kids. And I didn't know until later Oliver was the lion. He has a great voice!

As the Voice's Siren Festival drew to a close Saturday night, the vodka was the first to go in the larger of the two VIP tents, followed by the wine, the rum, and all the mixers save two unopened liters of seltzer. Beer remained, but no cups, and not enough time to run and grab some—the New York Dolls, in the Main Stage's final performance of the day, were currently leading the audience in a "Piece of My Heart" sing-along.
"What about those plastic bottles?" I asked the sweaty, browbeaten bartender, pointing to the seltzer. He cocked his head to the side and squinted. "I could drink beer out of that," I continued.
"But they're full," he said, not a little disbelieving.
"Right, but we're all leaving soon anyway, right? And nobody's going to ask you for just seltzer. We should just empty them out."
"Empty them out," he repeated. "You want me to dump a full bottle of soda and fill it with beer."
"That's exactly what I want."
He paused, then laughed. "Fine by me."
This was my first Siren, and while I expected to see a respectable number of folks out enjoying the sun during their possibly last opportunity to hang at Coney Island as we know it, I didn't anticipate, like, football fields of fans. Legions of people drifted between the two stages, up to the boardwalk, out to the beach, and back again, eating all forms of fair food and wearing next to nothing. (Luckily, that didn't include the Harry Potter dorks, who actually carted their just-released brick of pages to read between sets and on the train; they kept their clothes on.)
My favorite set of the day was Matt and Kim's, where a guy crowd-surfed over security to be deposited directly in front of the stage, his smile as wide as the drummer's trademark grin while musclemen carted him off by the arms. (An overenthusiastic lass who bum-rushed the stage during M.I.A.'s set a while later got a similarly brusque reception from security.) I assume the skinny kid who leapt onstage for the final song, awkwardly hugging Matt and throwing his arms in the air, liked the show too. Matt and Kim just seem so fun, like people you'd actually want to call your friends. (I'd also like to call the White Rabbits my friends, but for different reasons.)
Really, I was ready to be friends with anyone who gave me an excuse to stick around Siren, since there wasn't a single goddamned thing planned for afterward. The only spot even mentioned as a "post-Siren party" was Scissors for Lefty's gig at Union Hall. I spent the final two hours of the festival floating between the stages, grilling the tent-dwellers (a mixture of press people, photographers, and James Iha) about their plans for the night. Despite a general consensus that most wanted to stay in Brooklyn, no one had a specific objective. So, upon being officially kicked off the premises (and forced to relinquish my liter of seltzer-tainted beer), to Union Hall we went.
The Park Slope establishment celebrated its one-year anniversary the weekend before last with a sold-out all-star installment of "Tearing the Veil of Maya," the comedy brainchild of Michael Showalter and Eugene Mirman, with special guests Todd Barry, David Cross, and Janeane Garofalo. Downstairs, Montreal power trio Land of Talk played to a practically nonexistent audience, which is almost exactly how it was on Saturday night. Scissors for Lefty didn't seem to mind terribly that they were playing for 20 people, mostly made up of couples happily bopping around to the band's peppy indie pop. I minded a lot. So I headed back upstairs to the comfortably crowded main space and interrupted a conversation that turned out to be a late-night revision session between an n+1 writer and his editor, at which point I suggested (really articulately, I'm sure) that the article in question should be "sexed up." I think they were unimpressed. Despite the bar's mid-level hum, this obviously wasn't the chosen spot for Siren revelers.
On a recommendation from Nadine Gelineau, president and founder of cool-kid music marketers the MuseBox (formerly AddVice Marketing), our next stop was Soundfix Records. It's a record shop, yeah, but the shows there aren't typical in-store performances—there's an actual room with an actual bar, so don't be deterred from going. (She also mentioned Southpaw, but we wanted to get fucked up, not see Fucked Up.) We asked the cab driver to wait while we scoped, but when we pulled up a little after 1:30 a.m., it looked like the bulk of the crowd was already spilling out into the night, so we never even got out of the car. Instead, he took us to Studio B.
In an e-mail earlier in the week, Studio B booker (and Motherfucker DJ) Justine D. told me she was hoping the boys from Voxtrot would swing by the club after their Siren session for sets by Juan MacLean and Detroit techno pioneer Kevin Saunderson. Given Saunderson's legendary status, I expected a solid turnout. And maybe there was one earlier in the night, but at 2 a.m., his show was over and I was one of maybe 30 people on the dance floor—and one of only, like, three girls. Maybe it was because Siren-goers had come out to Studio B the night before for Battles, or because they'd passed out from drinking warm beer and eating hot dogs at Coney Island all day, or because everyone's just generally lame, but I couldn't buy a bloody party on Saturday night. When I mentioned Voxtrot to the Scottish girl I was smoking with outside, she told me they were definitely inside, dancing. My friend Jill maintains they were the ones re-enacting the "Thriller" video's moves, all stoopy-shouldered and antisocial. Maybe they were actually just re-enacting the video of prison inmates re-enacting "Thriller" that was YouTube's big hit last week. I haven't a clue.
When Studio B closed just after 4 a.m. and a European-expat lawyer offered to take us to a bar he knew that would still be open, we agreed to go, but I fell asleep on the ride over—the cab driver went 15 blocks in the wrong direction before I managed to correct him. After searching in vain all night for the elusive Siren after-party, it was time to go where everyone else had apparently gone hours before. Home.

Social Media Management is a full time commitment to your customers; truly understanding who they are, engaging with and being there for them. It is less about your brand and more about curating conversations with your target market; to bring something special to the table; to be aspirational and a source of inspiration.
There is no quick solution to growing an organic tribe and why would you want there to be; your business is going to be around for many years and you want to be speaking with real customers who will purchase your products and more importantly be brand advocates, to scale your efforts and sales.
I work with companies to help them understand who their customer is. Many companies are still not specific about who they are selling too or feel their audience is everyone. Even McDonalds can not say that everyone is their client!
Once you know your ideal customer like your own child you can understand which social media channels your customer will be on, the content your customer wants to see, the language and tone your customer communicates with, your customers lifestyle and opportunities for cross-selling.
Posting original, quality content is only 10% of social media management, it is the time you take to immerse yourself in your customers lives, like their pictures, leave relevant comments, celebrate with them, make suggestions; this is where you gain trust, a following and sales.
And lastly, metrics! If you are not monitoring your social media, you are not doing anything, you are flying blind, you might as well delete your accounts.
All of the major platforms have inbuilt, detailed analytics for you to drill down through the data and discover how to tweak your social media to realise your ROI.
More than just pretty pictures:
– Understand customer/product
– Research current website/social media/sales funnel/advertising/customer journey
– Discuss the clients expectations, goals, objectives, KPIs
– Plan a 6 month/year outline with a focused strategy supported by goals, objectives, KPIs. Detailed keywords/hashtag research.
– Create a two week, pre-approved schedule of images, text and posting time.
– Implement, engage, analyse metrics, adjust, repeat.
