Case Study : B2B – Video Marketing
Client : Advanced Interior Solutions
The Brief
Advanced Interior Solutions is a company which designs and fits out offices for medium to large sized organisations including large Plcs. The company wanted to improve their standing in the eyes of this market and punch above their weight. The company competes with some very large companies and are often overlooked despite having an impressive range of projects under their belt.
They approached us with the task of taking this excellent track record and presenting it in a way that spoke to the company's diverse range of clients. This meant that the videos had to appeal both to project managers, who are often freelance, and commissioners in very large organisations. Advanced Interior Solutions wanted to punch above their weight in pitch meetings. This meant proving that they can handle very large projects and compete with the big boys.
What we did
We scripted, storyboarded, shot and produced a range of videos including a general 'hero' piece introducing the company and its work and individual case studies targeted at specific companies and sectors. This allowed Advanced Interior Solutions to highlight only relevant parts of their experience in any particular pitch. For example they could emphasise their technical know-how when it comes to air-conditioning systems and power supplies or discuss their design experience depending on the project, client or even the person they are pitching to.
The Hero Video
The hero video introduces Advanced Interior Solutions and showcases their credentials. Office fit outs are naturally a very visual business area and the hero video showcases many of their projects in a short amount of time. It also focuses on testimonials from clients. There are no talking heads from the company just clients explaining their experience of working with the company. There is no hard sell. The company stands and falls on what others think of it.
The Case Study Video
Business pitch meetings haven't changed much in the last decade or so. Advanced's pitches generally involved a PowerPoint presentation and an array of brochures and other pieces of paper. We wanted to use the latest technology to help Advanced Interior Solutions make the highest possible impression at all of their pitch meetings. Our solution is video brochures. Viewers retain 95% of the information that they see in a video compared to 10% of the information they read as text. This applies in print just as much as on the web. By using video brochures instead of a video file on a computer it becomes easy for the client to pass the video around multiple staff and it's far more likely that the relevant people within an organisation will see your company's message.
The results
Since Advanced Interior Solutions received the videos and began to be targeted on which video is used for which pitch they have not lost a single pitch that they have taken part in. The Softcat case study video, which cost around £2,500 to commission was used in a successful £600,000 pitch. For a total cost of around £4,000 Advanced has secured hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of business – a fantastic return on their investment. They have since returned to us with new work, asking us to record new case studies based on some of the projects they won using our video brochures!
Want to know how we could do the same for businesses? The first step is to plan any video so you can be confident of a return on your investment. Our free report Questions to Ask Before you Make a Video has full details on how to do that. You can download it using the form below

My sermon notes for Sunday night, Feb. 2nd. Remember, these are my personal study notes and not a manuscript of the sermon. To see the sermon each week or subscribe to the weekly sermon podcast please visit http://www.fbcap.net
2 Timothy 1:8–18
What it takes to be faithful
Keys to being faithful in an unfaithful world.
- Individually and Corporately
A plea to remain faithful for the sake for the Gospel
Do not be ashamed- v. 8a
Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner,
- Of the Gospel
- Of the messenger of the Gospel
Expect suffering – 8b
but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God,
- But Share – we are in this together. We are not alone.
- For the Gospel – Is has a purpose
- By the power of God – suffering is part of God's will.
Remember your salvation/Your calling – vv. 9-10
[9] who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, [10] and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel
- Saved us – SAVIOR
- Called us – LORD
- To a Holy calling – set apart
- Not according to works
- According to Grace
- The means to carry out the purpose.
- Before the ages began – Now manifested through our Savior Jesus Christ
- for all eternity
- abolished death, brought to life, and immortality
- to life through the Gospel
Embrace your ministry/responsibility – vv. 11-12a
[11] for which I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher, [12] which is why I suffer as I do.
Preacher – proclaimer/herald. Public exhortation. Not his words.. BUT HIS WORDS
Apostle – authority. Today the Bible is our authority.
Teacher – conveying is such a way that knowledge is gained. Instruct with a purpose…to develop and encourage learning.
Proclaiming with authority the words that can bring about change.
- From head to heart.
- Easier to share Words. Lecture and Share knowledge. Much more challenging to make disciples.

The eights championship had the added importance of being the selection event for the 1950 Auckland Commonwealth Games. NSW led from the mile mark and went on to win by 4 1/2 lengths to Western Australia and Victoria a close third.
The Launceston Examiner on Monday 9th May 1949 reported as follows:
Brilliant Win - King's Cup
ADELAIDE.-Rowing brilliantly with perfect precision and maintaining even length, New South Wales comfortably won the King's Cup eight-oar Australian championship at Murray Bridge on Saturday. It seems that the crew could ably represent the Commonwealth at the Empire Games' in New Zealand next year. Although the sun shone during the race, a strong wind made the water chop.
Western Australia and Victoria were first to show out, with New South Wales and South Australia close behind. When the crews had settled down Western Australia led by half a length from New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Queensland in that order.
With a long, steady swing and
rating about 36 strokes to the
minute, New South Wales gradually drew on Western Australia, and soon the two crews
were fighting a stirring battle for
Victoria, rowing well, was in
third position, half a length behind. When New South Wales first took the lead the race became divided into two sections, with South Australia heading the second. After half the three miles course had been covered New South Wales
had established superiority. While rowing well, the Western Australian and Victorian crews were unable to make up the leeway. At this stage Tasmania was leading South Australia and Queensland was about eight lengths behind.
With a mile to go New South
Wales had increased its lead to
three lengths from Western Australia, and Victoria was gradually
drawing up.
Half a mile from the finishing
line New South Wales oarsmen
had the race safely in their keeping. A great fight for second place ensued between Western Australia
and Victoria, with the former emerging successful. Tasmania finished fourth, South Australia fifth and Queensland last. Won by 4 1/2 lengths. Time, 18min.
1st NSW - Mervyn T Wood
2nd VIC - John G Williams
3rd QLD - Sid F Rogers
The sculling championship was a foregone conclusion with Wood winning by 350 yards. Wood spent time assisting his opponents in the training period prior to the race and his sportsmanship was well regarded.
1st NSW - Bow: Elsie Green, 2: M Burke, 3: Ivy Crook, Str: Launa Boyd, Cox: David Aherns
2nd QLD - Bow: Aileen Jarvis, 2: Hazel Parry, 3: Dorothy Christsen, Str: Nancy Kidd, Cox: K Hannam
3rd VIC
Jack Pritchard in his book Rowing in Queensland notes that the winning NSW crew were all from the Tweed Heads & Coolongatta Rowing Club in Queensland. The male rowers of that club were affiliated with Queensland but the women affiliated with NSW. The interesting fact is that therefore both the first and second placed crews were from Queensland. The official Queensland crew hailed from Bundaberg. It was a close race early but Victoria steered badly and had to make a significant correction and fell behind. New South Wales moved away and Victoria fought back to get within 1 1/4 lengths from Queensland in the finish.

Thoughts on History
I can only note that the past is beautiful because one never realizes an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don't have complete emotions about the present, only about the past. Virginia Woolf
The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history. George Orwell
If you don't know history . . . you are a leaf that doesn't know it is part of a tree. Michael Crichton
The worst thing that colonialism did was to cloud our view of our past. Barack Obama

What's it about?
Victoria is a mess. She's grown up in the foster care system, and she's just turned 18, which means that there's no one responsible for her any more. And she certainly hasn't mastered the basics of finding food and shelter, let alone having a life. But she does like flowers and what they mean. This is the story of how she pieces a life together.
Why should you read it?
You'll need to make it past the first chapter of The Language of Flowers, which I found slightly cringe-worthy. Maybe I was supposed to – after all, she isn't a good person at first and her life is pretty terrible. There's not a lot to like there.
But after that, once you get into her relationships with other people, with her desire to be a florist, with her relationships with Grant and Elizabeth and the family she's fallen into in San Francisco, it's good. I like a story where someone turns their life around, and not into a typical life. You can be successful without being a stereotype.

The prospect of relocating to another country as well as finding a new job may seem rather daunting, even scary, but there are steps that can be taken to help reduce the stress and make things a little easier.
First things first
Right from the start it is vital that some basic questions are asked about the kind of job you are searching for: is it to be for a fixed period whilst you explore a new country? For example, to finance a 'gap year' or another break? Or is it to be a long-term career position? If so do you plan to remain in one place, or change location again, meaning that your career choice will need to be able to travel with you.
It is also essential that a 'chicken or the egg' scenario is avoided: choosing a country will dictate the work opportunities available, whilst pursuing a specific career may well dictate the countries offering those opportunities. Be clear on which is the most important.
It cannot be stressed enough how important research is: learning as much about target destinations, local culture, career and job opportunities, political climate, work permits, tax arrangements and other details will reduce surprises and speed up the process. Click here to see the Top ten destinations.
Research the job market, the biggest employers, transport systems, housing and other essentials.
Update your CV and any online profiles you may use and make sure they are relevant to the country in which you are seeking work.
It is worth remembering that some countries - such as China - are difficult to obtain a work visa without a university degree. Check on your target location's position. Job opportunities can also be dictated by whether or not the job seeker has a degree.
Use networking and social media
With the internet and social media in full flight, distances pose few barriers to networking. Undertake research on the kind of jobs you want, identify key players in those areas of employment (the biggest employers and companies you want to work for) and use social media to try to establish contacts in those companies. Demonstrate enthusiasm and promote your profile. This will help get your name known and possibly give you access to important information about job vacancies. You can also build dialogues with individuals and create an online presence with them that could lead to internal recommendations for work.
For graduates, university career offices may be able to provide useful contacts that can provide useful information and insight.
Job experience
Regardless of where it is located, having experience relevant to the job you seek will still prove enormously beneficial.
Having experience of a particular field of work and relevant skills will also increase your chances of obtaining a work visa, even if you have not yet relocated.
Graduates may find that entry-level internships are a way of getting started in a new job in a new location.
Filler opportunities
One way of bridging the gap between finding work in a new country and choosing a long-term career opportunity is to teach English. Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) means undertaking a relatively short training course that will result in an internationally-recognised qualification. TEFL work can pay the bills whilst you are searching for that long-term career opportunity.
Build support
Relocating and starting a new job at the same time will mean huge upheaval and change. The impact can be lessened by building a network of people such as ex-patriots of your country who have gone through the same thing. Go online and seek out groups that can offer support.

Hopefully I'll be back to the blogosphere full steam soon and fresh with ideas and energy. I've just been busy with school, work, and well that's about it, but that's been plenty.
For those of you who still have me in your RSS feed, let me get a few things on record on things nerd. I've managed to keep up with a few things in spite of the swamping.
Iron Man 2: liked it but the critics aren't really 100 percent wrong.
V: Like it, glad it survived, sorry it had to be between it and FlashForward which I liked marginally better.
Lost: Looking forward to the finale. Is The Source the same thing that's in the suitcase in Pulp Fiction or that box Mike Hammer had in Kiss Me Deadly?
Inception: Looks interesting and I like Christopher Nolan.
Reading: The Outside Man by Richard North Patterson.
Next Up: I Was Dora Suarez by Derek Raymond. Wish me well.
Miss Daisy is hanging in.

BCD Yamaha MS Racing's Andy Verdoïa secured another top ten finish in the WorldSSP300 race at a bitterly cold TT Circuit Assen this weekend. The 16-year-old Frenchman took 9th place at the line, after a race long battle in a leading group made up of 26 riders, to finish as the top Yamaha R3 bLU cRU Challenge rider for the second time in as many races. Galang Hendra Pratama was unable to take advantage of starting from pole position due to the final ratio choice being too short to manage the slipstream in the race, which the Indonesian rider finished with the leading group but in 19th position. Hugo de Cancellis, a bLU cRU team member in 2018, was the first Yamaha rider home in fifth place and currently lies third in the overall championship standings.
The weather conditions made for a tough weekend in Assen for the Yamaha R3 bLU cRU Challenge riders. Unseasonably cold weather made qualifying difficult, but Galang Hendra rose to the challenge to take pole position in temperatures very different to those he's used to in his home country of Indonesia. Arriving in Parc Ferme after qualifying, the Semakin Di Depan Biblion MotoXRacing rider experienced snow for the first time, as the first flakes started falling on the paddock.
Andy Verdoïa was the only other bLU cRU rider to qualify inside the top 30 to automatically secure his place on the grid for Sunday's 12-lap WorldSSP300 race, with the Frenchman finishing the 20-minute Superpole session in 21st position, despite a crash.
Jacopo Facco, Beatriz Neila and Kevin Sabatucci, all of whom qualified outside the top 30 in the difficult conditions of Superpole, were looking to secure their place on the grid for Sunday's race by finishing top six in the WorldSSP300 Last Chance Race on Saturday afternoon, Unfortunately all three lost out on the opportunity when heavy snowfall forced the race to be cancelled.
In slightly better conditions on Sunday it was Galang Hendra who led the charge into the first corner, but the young Indonesian was soon swallowed up by the leading group having opted to run shorter gearing on his YZF-R3 GYTR for the race to improve acceleration. Unfortunately, while this brought an improvement on corner exit, the compromise was less top speed around the fast sections of the Assen circuit, of which there are a lot. Galang Hendra was able to race within the leading group but didn't have the top speed in the slipstream necessary to improve his position in the pack and he crossed the line in 19th place at the finish.
Starting from the seventh row of the grid, Verdoïa had managed to fight his way into the top half of the 26-rider leading group by the midpoint of the race. With three laps to go the Frenchman moved up into the top ten and managed to defend ninth position to the line, on what was a typically frantic WorldSSP300 last lap.
Unfortunately, Finn de Bruin was unable to participate in his home round in Assen, due to a fracture to his right thumb sustained when he was brought down by another rider last time out in Aragon.
The R3 bLU cRU Challenge overall standings after two races sees Andy Verdoïa leading the way with Galang Hendra Pratama second and Beatriz Neila in third place. The R3 bLU cRU Challenge riders will return to action in round three of WorldSSP300, which takes place at the Imola Circuit in Italy from 10 – 12 May.

"Qualifying was really difficult for me. The conditions were very strange and I ended up crashing in the session but still qualified for the race. I had a good warm up on Sunday morning and, in the end, a really good race. My start was bad and I dropped back to 23rd position on the opening lap, but then managed to fight my way back to finish ninth and less than one second from the race winner. It was an incredible race and I think I can be happy with the result given the difficult conditions we experienced during the weekend. Thanks to Yamaha for the help they give to young riders and a big thanks to my team for rebuilding the bike after the qualifying crash. Now we head to Imola, where I hope we will be even stronger."
Galang Hendra Pratama
Semakin Di Depan Biblion MotoXRacing – P19
"Assen was a weekend of highs and lows for me. I managed to qualify on pole position on Saturday afternoon in difficult conditions, which included snow right at the end of the session. In the race I had problems from the start. The bike was overheating in the slipstream and the gearing we opted to run for the race turned out to be too short when I was in such a big group of riders and had the advantage of the tow. I tried to fight to stay in the top fiver, but it was impossible. We learned a lot in Assen and this will stand us in good stead for the next race in Imola, which I'm already focused on and working hard towards, to ensure we're in a position to obtain a good result."
Beatriz Neila
BCD Yamaha MS Racing – DNS
"The weekend started well for me with a good pace in the first two free practice sessions and then we used FP3 on Saturday morning to prepare for Superpole. Unfortunately, we didn't count on the weather conditions that we had for qualifying and the extreme cold made for a difficult session, which I finished outside the top 30. We were in a good position to claim a place on the grid with a top six finish in the Last Chance Race but that, along with WorldSBK Race 1, ended up being cancelled due to the snow and we missed out. We can take some positives from the weekend because I learned a lot. Now we need to focus on the next race in Imola, where I hope the weather will be kinder to us!"
Kevin Sabatucci
Team Trasimeno – DNS
"This was my first time racing in Assen and it was like a dream come true, even if the weather made things very difficult for everyone. I started well on Friday, with a top three finish in my group in FP1, but we made the wrong choice for our Superpole strategy and that left me outside the top 30 at the end of the 20-minute session. I was feeling confident of securing a place on the grid in the last chance race, as I had a good feeling with the bike and the track, but then the snow arrived when we were sat on the grid and the race was cancelled. I learned a lot this weekend and now I'm looking forward to putting what I learned into practice at my home race in Imola."
Jacopo Facco
Semakin Di Depan Biblion MotoXRacing – DNS
"Assen was a difficult weekend for both me and the team. We went in the wrong direction during the two practice sessions on Friday and we weren't able to recover on Saturday because of the adverse weather conditions that led to the cancellation of the Last Chance Race. Now we need to put the Assen weekend behind us and focus on the next round in Imola, which is a home race for me."
Finn de Bruin
Team Trasimeno – DNS
"It was unfortunate that I had to miss my home race in Assen, but there was no way I was fit to ride after fracturing my right thumb in a crash with another rider during the first round in Aragon. It's disappointing, but the focus now has to be on recovery, ready for the remainder of the season."
Alberto Barozzi
Road Racing Supervisor – Yamaha Motor Europe
"It was a tough weekend in Assen for all the bLU cRU guys because of the weather conditions, but it was also a good learning experience, as for most of them this is their first season in WorldSSP300. They learned a lot both on and off track, especially with the sporting support we've introduced this year with Joey Litjens coaching them in all aspects of performance. Galang Hendra's pole position and Andy's performance in the race are a good indication of where we are with the project. Beatriz, Kevin and Jacopo have all taken onboard the reasons they weren't able to qualify for Sunday's race and I'm confident that we will see a significant improvement from them at the next round in Imola. We are grateful to the FIM and to the WorldSBK organization for formulating the revised technical regulations that have ensured fair competition between the different manufacturers. It is a great competition, an awesome show for the fans and we have seen in the opening two races that the Yamaha YZF-R3 GYTR is able to run at the front."

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19, 2014 - The European Union will not budge on its regulations forbidding hormone-treated beef during trade negotiations, the European Commissioner for Trade Karel De Gucht said Tuesday.
"We are not going to change our legislation," De Gucht said during an event at the Atlantic Council in Washington, D.C. "To be very clear, we are not going to import hormone beef. Because it would mean we would have to change our basic legislation, and we are not going to do it. We're not going to even make a legislative proposal for that because it has no support in Parliament, it has no support in the Commission. So we will keep and stick to our regulations."
De Gucht indicated that if the U.S. wants to increase its beef imports to the EU in the future, it will have to change the way meat is produced. "What will happen is what happened, for example, in Canada," he said. That country "put in place a hormone-free production line. It's as simple as that."
The commissioner attributed the EU's strict rules, which restricts the importation of much U.S.-raised beef, to Europe's "culture," which he said is "much more risk averse." The EU's regulatory scheme operates according to the precautionary principle, which directs governments to restrict access to those technologies that they believe are not yet scientifically understood. U.S. scientists, argue that the science on genetically modified foods and hormone-treated beef – a few of the many technologies the EU rejects – is complete and proves those techniques are safe.
De Gucht was in town for a "stock-taking" meeting with U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman, eight months into the negotiating process for the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). Froman, in a statement, said the meeting had been "productive." And the Belgian politician reported that other parts of the talks had been going well.
"Eight months in...[it] was good to see [the U.S. and EU] already achieving convergence" on many trade issues, De Gucht said. Both countries' negotiating teams have "marked out what needs to be worked on." But "what's marked out is larger than the common ground. The next part is much harder." The fourth round of TTIP talks will take place in Brussels March 10-14.
Just one year ago, Froman, then-Deputy National Security Advisor, seemed more optimistic about changing the beef import rules, among other sanitary and phytosanitary regulations that hamper free trade between the U.S. and EU.
"We are not only not putting off ag issues past the agreement, but we are resolving them before the negotiations are completed," Froman said in February 2013.
On Tuesday, however, De Gucht declined to reveal specifics of the trade negotiations, particularly those issues dealing with market access. At the beginning of the trade talks, the EU argued its market access offer was more generous than what was offered by the U.S.
"The answer could be very short: I'm not going to give any details on that," De Gucht said in response to a question from a reporter.
Trade experts still emphasize the importance of these talks. TTIP has to the "potential to be largest trade and investment partnership ever negotiated," said Jon Huntsman, former governor of Utah and U.S. ambassador to the China. Huntsman currently serves as chairman of the Atlantic Council.
Though two studies examined by the Congressional Research Service (CRS) disagreed as to whether the U.S. or EU had more to gain from a free trade agreement, both said the countries' GDP would increase, as much as $3 billion for the EU and $4.5 billion for the U.S.
"Although these estimated increases to overall GDP levels may be relatively small, tariff elimination could have a significant impact for specific firms and economic sectors," CRS wrote.
Those sectors certainly include agriculture. According to USDA data, U.S. exports of food and farm products to the EU in fiscal 2013 totaled $11.5 billion. According to Ambassador João Vale de Almeida, head of the EU's delegation to the U.S., a successful negotiation could mean a total "high-spending and highly sophisticated" consumer base of 800 million people.
"TTIP is the mother of all [free trade agreements]…and a game-changer for bilateral relations between the European Union and the United States," Vale de Almeida told members of the American Farm Bureau Federation at their annual meeting in January. "It also has the potential to be a game-changer globally, as Americans and Europeans work to reenergize the world's system, and do it according to our values and principles."

Travellers have moved on from a public green beside a council housing estate after being given their marching orders.
Around a dozen caravans had arrived on the land beside Heston Farm estate, just east of Ferraro Close and west of the National Trust's Osterley Park estate, on the afternoon of Monday (June 8).
Police, working in conjunction with Hounslow Council, issued the occupants with a notice the next day giving them 24 hours in which to move on.
They complied with the order and were gone by the following afternoon, as a tweet from a resident on the estate showed.
One resident living on the estate had told getwestlondon he had seen one of the caravan dwellers defecating on the land.
He said others had told local children to clear off the grounds, beside a hard play area.
A council spokeswoman said on Wednesday morning: "We received reports from residents on Monday that travellers had set up camp just off Ferraro Close on the Heston Farm Estate. When we visited with police officers, there were 11 caravans and six vehicles on the site.
"We served a legal notice on Tuesday afternoon requiring all caravans and other vehicles to leave the area within 24 hours.
"We are now monitoring this and will take the necessary action to remove them if they fail to comply."

NASA photos of Mars
Human Evolution?
|January 30, 2004 In humankind's recent achievement of landing not one, but two rover's successfully on Mars, I think the question can easily be asserted whether this is a form of human evolution or not. It's clearly not a biological form of evolution, it is more an extension of the human mind manipulating knowledge and resources to make such an achievement possible. As we witness the Mars occupation from earth, where the very first humans used stone tools, to the present day of this stupendous achievement, one can only sit back and wonder. What is happening here? Is this a new form of evolution taking place where we are now branching out to explore new worlds in our planetary hemisphere?
The natural tendency throughout our history on earth is to explore everything on earth possible while leaving no stone unturned. As we have learned, there are serious issues ahead on earth related to natural resources being depleted by expanding populations. One of the main concerns is lack of drinking water in the near future. Yet, instead of applying good science to address these serious issues ahead, what we see is more of an ego driven need to reach another planet to see if there was once water there. Could it be these scientists fear one day the earth could end up like Mars, a dead planet, billions of years from now?
I marvel at the ability of a few smart people to reach another planet in such a way, but I don't feel it is at all practical if it doesn't help us live better lives on earth with the information we retrieve. If our very own water resources are being depleted, why are we seeking traces of water on Mars? Does that make any sense to anyone?
At least the ancient stone tool makers used their tools in practical day-to-day terms for survival. This recent jaunt across the planetary system to Mars seems to lack any relevance to our current situation on earth, other than as a passing form of marvel at the human intellect's ability to achieve such a goal. That is very noble in one sense, but when we all begin running out of water on earth, this knowledge of Mars won't help us survive thereby rendering it as useless and possibly wasteful in terms of the human need for survival.

Mitt Romney warned evangelicals Friday that if they vote for Mike Huckabee, the Republican presidential nominee will be "liberal" John McCain.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Romney told a Missouri radio station that evangelicals can "vote for Mike Huckabee and feel good about their vote. But they're basically saying, 'We're going to give the conservative vote -- we're going to divide it in half, give some to Mike Huckabee, give some to Mitt Romney.' "
Speaking from to KYTV in Springfield, Mo., Romney called McCain "too liberal" on immigration, taxes, campaign finance restrictions and global warming. He also said McCain's energy plan would increase gas prices by 50 cents a gallon.
"It basically flows from the sort of blame-America-first-for-global-warming philosophy that some people have," Romney said.

Lane and road closures expected as Google Fiber continues work in DecaturPhoto provided by Google
The city of Decatur is warning residents about lane and road closures related to the installation of the Google Fiber network in the city.
"Google Fiber will continue to work within the City of Decatur this month," a press release from the city says. "In addition to the underground utility work, they are starting to install aerial infrastructure and upgrading poles."
[adsanity id=34457 align=aligncenter /]
The city provided this list of areas that will see aerial work this week:
– 444 Bridlewood Circle
– 1370 Church Street
– 143 Mt Vernon Drive
– 612 Glendale Avenue
– 243 Sycamore Place
– 848 Sycamore Street
– 231 Coventry Road.
"Both the underground and aerial work will require lane closures/road closures in certain areas," the city's press release says.
Anyone who has questions about the work can call: 877-454-6959
Last month, the city announced Google had begun fiber installation work on the south side of Decatur.
Google Fiber confirmed its expansion to the Atlanta market in January 2015. At the time, company representatives said the build out would take two years. The service already is available in some places in Atlanta. In the last few weeks, Google Fiber has laid off some of its staff and has scaled back plans for high speed internet in 10 cities. The company says its plans for Atlanta are unaffected and everything is still a go.

We compare the findings of central bank researchers and academic economists regarding the macroeconomic effects of quantitative easing (QE). We find that central bank papers find QE to be more effective than academic papers do. Central bank papers report larger effects of QE on output and inflation. They also report QE effects on output that are more significant, both statistically and economically, and they use more positive language in the abstract. Central bank researchers who report larger QE effects on output experience more favorable career outcomes. A survey of central banks reveals substantial involvement of bank management in research production.

Daily Dose June 29 : Attractions Reopen
Attractions will reopen in Singapore
It was widely thought that Singapore attractions such as Singapore Zoo and USS would only open in Phase 3 due to the large number of people that will visit.
It was a surprise when it was announced that 13 attractions will reopen the doors on 1 July. With a cap of 25% capacity, it might actually make sense.
1) 213 cases confirmed
202 Dorms
11 Community ( 6 Singaporeans, 2 Work Pass, 3 Work Permit)
The community cases are back to double-digits with 6 new cases. Unlinked cases in the community had also risen to 8 cases. The dorms situation remains the similar as tests still continue for the rest of the 200K FW in dorms. Expect the numbers to remain high until all are tested.
2) 2 Singapore Teenagers on the list of confirmed cases
Both are unlinked
One is a 15-year-old girl from East Spring. She has not been in school since June 25. The other is a 13-year-old girl with symptoms on June 10 but was only confirmed on Jun 27 (2 weeks later)
The second case would be a source of concern for parents. If she had been in school during that period, it would mean the students around here could have been exposed. It also questioned if schools have implemented checks diligently as they should ( ie temperature monitoring, isolating students who are unwell)
3) 13 Attractions to Open on 1 July
See the full list of attractions to be opened here
4) New places identified as areas visited by Covid19 cases during the infectious period
It includes the McDonald'sand Mustafa Centre. Do note if you had been to the following areas on the stated dates and times
McDonald's at Tampines Mart (5 Tampines Street 32) on June 25 between 2pm and 3pm
Al-Iman Restaurant (136 Marsiling Road) on June 25 between 8pm and 11pm
Mustafa Centre (145 Syed Alwi Road) on June 26 between 10.45am and 11.25am
Amman Household Supplies Pte Ltd (961 Jurong West Street 92) on June 26 between 12.30pm and 1pm
Prime Supermarket (962 Jurong West Street 91) on June 26 between 1pm and 2pm
5 The organiser of group badminton session calls for guidelines to be clearer
One positive COVID19 case had played badminton with a group of 29 people. Group was organised by one person and intermingling had taken place during the session.
The organiser insisted that he did not breach safe distancing act because he interpreted it that as long as he is under the limit for the maximum number of people allowed in the sports hall, he is adhering to the rules. At the same time, rules such as up to 4players a court and no co-mingling are conveniently ignored.
6 2 Amoy Stree bars ordered to cease operation
One of them , Moonstone Bar, claimed it was shut down as patrons were seen drinking alcohol at the establishment after 1030pm
7 Fabrications about PAP shut down
The pro-PAP Facebook page with 250K subscribers had been shut down for violating Facebook Policies. No actual details were provided on the violation.
Facebook removes accounts that clearly violate its policies, including people who misrepresent themselves, use fake accounts, or engage in behaviour designed to enable other violations of its community standards.
FAP had been known to have a one-sided opinion on opposition. Some of the posts are questionable. The site has never been formally endorsed by PAP
8 Another PAP candidate was flagged out for behaviour, this time the response was swift and positive
It would be great if we concentrate on issues on hand instead of sensationalizing every trivial matter.

Don't Know How to Put Away Savings? Just Start
Don't Know How to Put Away Savings? Just Start
Our lives feel so busy nowadays that it seems daunting to sit down and focus on our financial health. But like our physical health, if we ignore the symptoms for too long, we could end up in serious trouble. Savvy consumers now use mobile apps on a daily basis to assist with their routine banking and as well as long-term savings, investments and financial planning.
TowneBank Mortgage and its family of subsidiaries offer credit enhancement programs to assist borrowers in their journey to financial health, but here are a few tips to help you get started on your own. The specific plan isn't as important as choosing a method and carrying out the plan. Just start.
Let's start easy…
Be Aware: Create a folder on the home screen of your smartphone for all of your financial apps. Add all your mobile banking apps in this folder. These can include apps like your online banking access, credit monitoring, investment apps, and market update apps.
Keeping these apps together in one folder will help you remember to check ALL of your financial stats. You may just intend to check the balance in your checking account, but when you open the folder, seeing the other apps will likely remind you to also check your credit card balance or your credit score. The more you check, the more aware you are of your standing, which is the first step in repairing your financial health.
- Push Notifications: Most financial apps have the option of push notifications built in them. Make sure any financial app you use is set to allow push notifications through text or pop up notifications on your phone. You can use this to alert yourself of low balance warnings, suspicious transactions, large withdrawals, due dates for payments, and more. Look at it as an opportunity to correct any erroneous transactions or prevent yourself from missing an important deadline.
- Select Mobile Apps that Fit YOUR Needs: Let's be honest, downloading your bank's mobile app is an easier task than trying to select which budgeting or investment app to register. You'll want to select apps that you'll actually use and that are advantageous for your lifestyle. Let's start with the less complicated of these choices.
Budgeting Apps: Having a budgeting app is a good start for your financial health. While your banking app may report your transactions and balances, it probably hasn't set up boundaries for your monthly spending. But before you can even set a budget, it's helpful to see what you typically spend each month on necessities versus discretionary or impulse purchases. Knowing where your money is going will help you easily monitor your spending to see where you can cut back. Three of the Best Budgeting Apps of 2019 were Mint, PocketGuard, and You Need A Budget.
Investment Apps: According to a 2019 Gallup poll, 52% of Americans say they have money invested in the Stock Market. While many Americans feel you need a Bachelor's degree in Finance in order to invest their hard-earned money, there are many apps today remove the guesswork and make investing a simple, no-brainer without requesting much money to get started.
- Acorns, for example, encourages you to invest your spare change into a program called "round ups". Acorns monitors your bank account and automatically invests the change from your daily purchases up to the nearest dollar amount. You can also set up regularly scheduled deposits from your bank account to Acorns to help your investments grow faster. Taylor Malbon, Marketing Strategist for TowneBank Mortgage was shocked when she tested the app for her husband, "He is one of those people who gets so paralyzed with all the information out there for investments. I knew he just needed to get started somehow and the Acorns app allowed him to set up a weekly deposit and just, let it grow. Before we knew it six months had passed and with the spare change round ups plus a minimal weekly deposit, he had over $1,000 in his Acorns account that he was able to use to pay off an old lingering debt."Fees do not apply to college students, however, everyone else will be charged a minimum of $1 per month. Most users will agree it is a good service that gets people thinking about saving and investing their money. Most importantly, it automates the process, which is what most people need when getting started.
- Robinhood is an easy-to-use mobile app that allows you to invest in stocks, ETFs, options and cryptocurrencies without paying a trade fee. Traditional brokerages charge $5 to $7 per trade. There is not a whole lot of stock option research provided within the app, but it does allow you to see stock price changes in real-time and sends push notifications to alert you of large shifts in your earnings.
Rewards Apps: Many mobile banking apps offer rewards for purchases at advertised retailers or credit card rewards for purchases within a certain category (2% cashback on groceries, etc.). Most people add these cashback rewards right back into their checking account so they can spend their earnings. An even better idea to consider is to use the cashback rewards to power your savings or investment apps.
- Clever shoppers use a coupon app, like Ibotta, to earn cashback on their everyday purchases. When those rewards add up to a withdrawable amount ($20 on Ibotta) you are given the option to transfer them to your bank account. Well, why not go one step further and transfer that same amount into your investment app to invest those extra dollars? "I feel like I'm winning free money when I invest my cashback rewards. It's not money from my paycheck that I'm risking, just extra cash that I earned for buying that Greek yogurt I like," Taylor said.
Credit Score Anxiety: Everyone feels nervous when pulling their credit score. The truth is, it updates every month so there is constant ebb and flow. You may think your score is at a certain level, but without checking, you really don't know. The trick is to get in the habit of looking at your most recent credit score on a regular basis so you can
- Become more familiar with your personal score
- Get comfortable and understand why your score is what it is
- Learn from any mistakes and take small steps to correct these
- Credit Karma is a free mobile app that allows you to keep a constant eye on your credit score and even learn what affects your score and what you can do to improve it. Check your credit as often as you'd like. It will never negatively affect your scores. You may be surprised to learn that simple tasks such as requesting a credit limit increase may actually raise your credit score. "If you're in good standing with your creditor, consider asking for a credit limit increase on one of your credit cards. This could help you keep your utilization rate low." (Credit limit of $10,000 but only used $1500 of the limit). Source: Credit Karma app.
While Credit Karma is a helpful tool to monitor your credit, you should note that the scores and credit report information come from TransUnion and Equifax—two of the three major credit reporting bureaus. This means that your score and information is missing information from Experian. Credit Karma also gives you a score based on the VantageScore, rather than the more commonly known FICO score. All of that withstanding, Credit Karma can still be used as a useful tool to help monitor your credit.
Don't forget to visit annualcreditreport.com to get a free copy of your credit report every 12 months from each credit reporting bureau.
By getting in the habit of monitoring your finances on a regular basis, you'll find that your financial health is easier to improve than you think. Start today by getting a snapshot of all your accounts, your debts and your credit score. Learn where you stand. Now you're in a good position to start making small steps toward growth. Live within your means and when possible, automate your finances to avoid late fees. With so many tools available in the palm of our hand, it's easier than ever to manage your finances on the go, giving you more free time to focus on enjoyment.

Posted by Steve VanderArk in Rants / The FilmsI love the Harry Potter films. I have dear friends who worked on them. I was on the set during the filming of Order of the Phoenix. David Heyman even told me that they used the Lexicon "every day" while they created the films. So don't mistake what I'm about to say for anything but loving criticism. The films are nothing more than very expensive fan fiction. They're made-up stories closely based on the Harry Potter books, created by people who are massive Harry Potter fans and who care very deeply about "getting it right," but who, for one reason or another, changed a lot of things. Sometimes they changed things for very good reasons. Sometimes, though, they seem to have changed things for no particular reason at all. I can't explain it, but there you go. However, for a lot of people, the films are Harry Potter. They've never read the books, or barely read them anyway. As far as they're concerned, Dementors attacked Harry and Dudley in an underpass below a highway. Snape died in a boathouse. And Harry fought Voldemort in an extended, violent duel at the end of the Battle of Hogwarts, punctuated by clever bon mots and death-defying falls from high places. But oh well. I really don't care. At least they're Potter fans! The more the merrier! Just do me a favor ... don't send me any more emails telling me that I screwed up on the Lexicon when I write that: Read More

Facing Armageddon (Kindle)
The First World War Experienced
|Other formats available
|Facing Armageddon Paperback Add to Basket
|Facing Armageddon ePub (25.3 MB) Add to Basket
Facing Armageddon is a major collection of scholarly work on the 1914-18 war that explores, on a worldwide basis, the real nature of the participants' experience. The book is a classic in the field. Sixty-four scholars from all over the globe, including the USA, Russia, Germany, Italy, France, Holland and the UK, describe their research into what civilians and servicemen passed through, on the land, the sea and in the air.
Their pioneering work is as important today as it was when the book was first published, for we can see clearly now how the First World War has shaped the fundamental character of the twentieth century. The Second World War and the Cold War were among its direct, long-term consequences. Without an awareness of its effects on the individuals and societies involved, perceptible even now, we cannot fully comprehend the modern world.
Facing Armageddon, lucidly written and vividly illustrated, is aimed at those specialists – students and general readers alike – who seek a deeper understanding of human conflict in our times.
As referenced in "An Error of Judgement"Stand To! No. 124
I believe that this is an incredible insight into WWI from all viewpoints.Model Military International, February 2018 – reviewed by Andrew Judson
It is not going to be an overnight read, but you will learn much from this very detailed book on the subject. I recommend this to all with an interest in WWI.
In the two decades that have followed the firstFiretrench
publication of this work, nothing has come to challenge it and this
edition is therefore most welcome. It was a pioneering work and still
is, presenting the scholarship of sixty four specialists and the real
experiences of participants. It can fairly be regarded as a
foundation work for anyone wishing to understand this epic conflict.
Much Recommended.

CV Jannicke "JiL" Larsson
In my paintings, I hope you feel my joy in creating.
I paint acrylic paint on canvas, usually abstract motifs, and sometimes I mix other materials. There is rarely any definite thought before I begin painting, but the subject is growing and tells me what it will be like. I was born in Malmö in 1963, grew up in Svalöv, took the road of Sala and has now lived in Borstahusen for several years. For a few years I have participated in Vens konstrunda. I have also exhibited at Galleries around Skåne and in my own Gallery JiL, at Kopparstigen 1, in Borstahusen. There I also have my favorite place, where I enjoy all the best; my studio =)
Education & Inspiration
In my upper secondary education, I chose aesthetic orientation where I tried different techniques and expressions with the help of teacher, cartoonist, illustrator and visual artist Gunnar Thunberg. I have done a group of paintings during some fun years with many laughs, for the artists brothers Kjell and Ingvar Karlsson, Landskrona. As a teacher, I have worked extensively with children and their image creation. At Öland Folk High School, I have trained to paint nature and landscape. Some other courses in image and form have been over the years and I have also arranged courses in painting for beginners on a number of occasions. I have painted a year in Roy Evertsen's target group, Landskrona.
