Greater New Orleans Inc. ha released a memorandum called, "Greater New Orleans at the Inflection Point".
The first paragraph of the memorandum states, in part "
The economic comeback of Greater New Orleans has been gaining steady momentum in the years since 2005. Today, broad evidence suggests that this progress is at an "inflection point" - on the brink of rapid acceleration in a number of key areas, including entrepreneurship, human talent, positive perception and business development."
The GNO document states "Greater New Orleans has been experiencing a historic "brain gain," whereby the best and brightest in the country and now choosing to move - or come back to - New Orleans.
• Tulane had more applications this year, 44,000, than any other private school in the country
• For every one professional that left after the storm, two have moved in
• Forbes ranked New Orleans as a top ten city for relocation
• New Orleans is now the #1 Teach for America location, per capita, in the US
• Louisiana has enjoyed three years of net in-migration for the first time in decades
Importantly, perceptions of New Orleans and Louisiana are rapidly improving, as reflected in a range of recent polls and rankings:
• Featured twice on the cover of Entrepreneur magazine
• 3rd fastest wage growth in the U.S. [CareerBuilder.com]
• Louisiana placed 9th on the Business Climate Rankings Index, the first time in the top ten in history [Site Selection]
• 1st in the nation for education reform [Thomas B. Fordham Institute]
• 10th on a "Next Cities" ranking of the best places to live and work for young professionals [Next Generation Consulting]
• Benjamin Franklin placed 27th on list of the 100 best high schools in the nation [U.S. News] "
After checking the online dictionary, "inflection point" essentially means-- a point of upward climb.
So, GNO Inc. is promoting that New Orleans is on the brink of some new sky-high jumps right when there is concern that the New Orleans Hornets might jump ship should attendance not dramatically improve.
In the scheme of things, I much rather have well educated, future oriented, inspired populace and group of entrepreneurs attending our schools and populating our offices and streets than Hornets fans at the arena.
But, realistically, I know that if New Orleans loses the Hornets as Charlotte did and as other unfortunate cities have lost their respective pro teams, it will be a major step back for the city and the state. Ironically, it would come at a time when the city, virtually destroyed by Katrina , miraculously has emerged from under the waters and has symbolically in a group hug lifting the Lombardi Trophy for the world to applaud.
On Monday, city leaders met with Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, Mayor Mitch Landrieu, local parish officials and business leaders to show support for the team and to urge the community to buy tickets so the Hornets top 14,800 people per game over the next twelve home events.
There is also talk of various local entrepreneurs jumping up to the hoop to invest in the team.
However, this is a team that has been dropping in attendance as the team has remarkably improved in performance.
This is a team where one buyer has pulled out from the mix which prompted the NBA to buy and take over affairs.
This is a team where so far the talk of purchase by local buyers is just talk and there is a possibility the club could walk.
To their credit, Governor Jindal and Mitch Landrieu are leading the charge to ensure the team does not fall under the 14,800 mark which could be an interesting challenge itself considering there are so many distractions in competition including other major holiday, sports events, and football bowls.
To his disadvantage, Landrieu cannot come up with any money to sweeten the pot as the city is raising taxes.
And, Jindal is being hammered by hospitals, medical providers and schools as he wants them to swallow budget cutting medicine at a time when they have a sour taste in their own respective bellies.
The Louisiana populace is in no mood to hand out money to a bunch of rich men although it means that other rich men in other cities are dribbling at the mouth to own a piece of the NBA ball.
Things are so rough in Louisiana that it appears Jindal is not in favor of allowing tax credits to help keep the team (such as the movie incentives that launched a thriving industry in state) because it will cause a reduction in state revenues.
Which is somewhat odd since he is strongly in favor of extending Bush tax reductions for the rich but does not want the rich to save taxes to invest in a an international symbol of civic success such as the Hornets—but this seeming inconsistency is another story yet, for another time.
While the "Save The Hornets" press event was positive and hopeful, the reality is--we built it (the New Orleans arena) and the fans are just not coming, enough. The reality is also that despite all of rah-rah by Landrieu, Jindal, and the local politicians, should the city and state lose this team on their "watch" it will be a major black eye in prestige, GNO Inc's "inflection point" talk, notwithstanding.
Not trying to push the panic button, New Orleans has been on the brink before in recent days. We almost lost the Saints but at the time we were not talking about selling government properties such as prisons so we can keep universities and medical centers.
We almost lost New Orleans during the storms but at the time the feds came in and bailed out the state and the Gulf coast.
We almost lost Mardi Gras but New Orleans without Fat Tuesday City was like Monday without red beans and the community rallied.
We almost lost the tourist and seafood industries but BP has a fat wallet and somewhat of a guilty conscience. Plus, there is enough political stroke to make the oil company belly up to help keep those businesses afloat.
We're on the brink of losing the oil industry which is only causing more economic erosion in the area paralleling the incredible eroding Louisiana coastline only hours away from Jackson Square.
Hopefully GNO Inc. is right and New Orleans curve upward does not match the Mississippi River's curve meandering down to the Gulf Of Mexico.
Also, hopefully, Governor Jindal can reach into his bag of tricks and book deals and come up with imaginative ways to keep the Hornets in New Orleans and enticing the locals to enter a building to watch an NBA game an event some are wondering if he has ever done since he has been so busy signing autographs, going on national TV and raising campaign money for virtual strangers.
True, an NBA game is just a game and an NBA team is just a team. New Orleans and Louisiana has made it before and could rise above the doomsayers and pull it out again.
Still, let us not forget that we were told that in short notice, Louisiana would climb jump out of the health-of-the-state basement but somehow, it appears we are now falling backwards and are now ranked 49th in one of those major "bad lists" we hoped to escape.
The city and state government leaders can talk a good talk that our Hornets will stay but our kids need educating, our poor and middle class need health care and our hospitals need cash to operate. Talk makes for good media but in reality the state and local governments are crashing and bleeding.
Make no mistake about it. Landrieu are at the foul line and the seconds are ticking. Even if New Orleans continues to make the good lists of entrepreneurship, and even if the state and city can somehow work the books locating funds to meet the creditors who are slamming down the doors, should our state and city's two most recognizable players not win it at the New Orleans Arena, they both will be forever marked as political failures. Then, the talk of leadership and crises will be a mere bouncing ball squirting out of bounds.

Nice Translator is the newest addition to The Best Reference Websites For English Language Learners — 2008.
One way it stands out is by translating into your chosen language as you write it. Most other similar sites require you to input everything and click "enter" before it begins to translate.
The English-to-Spanish system seemed to work well, but I can't attest to how it does with many other languages.

Success Stories: Lydia Panas
Lydia's work has been published extensively and featured in periodicals such as The New York Times Magazine, Photo District News, Popular Photography, The San Francisco Chronicle and The Wall Street Journal Blog. Lydia has degrees from Boston College, the School of Visual Arts and New York University / International Center of Photography as well as a Whitney Museum Independent Study Fellowship. Her first monograph The Mark of Abel was released by Kehrer Verlag and named one of Photo District News' Books of 2012 as well as one of the top ten coffee table books of 2012 by the Daily Beast.
This series helped me understand more about what I connect with when I make photographs. Making a portrait incorporates a spectrum of emotions and although not specific, can articulate impressions otherwise difficult to express.
The background fabrics work similarly to the woods in my family portraits. The subjects have no context. The fabrics are simpler and I work only with face, gesture and posture. I have to make a strong connection with the model to get anything to happen, as context will not give me a hand.
I also spent a number of years making still lifes. For instance, I spent the years 2000 -2002 collecting three items; lint from my clothes dryer from washing my family's clothing, hair that fell from my head when I blew dry my hair, and baker's chocolate. I photographed groupings of the individual items as they accumulated, so the final presentation is a grid of collections of the three items as they gradually increase in number.
I am working on a new series, shooting fabrics in the landscape. They are verticals and look completely different from the sharp, precise photographs I have been making. I shoot mostly in bad weather, like fog and rain. They are softer, and the images are mostly out of focus. I work with the fabrics as if they are portraits. They lean and sway and move around. They are a tribute to my father with whom my husband and I planted about 1000 trees every year for 10 years. My father died too soon to see them mature. But they have grown and they stand all around me. They are his legacy. The photographs feel lonely and monumental and sort of sculptural. The series is about ghosts and memories that linger on the property where I live.
And finally, what would be your perfect day?
Hmmmmmm. Maybe waking up at home on a sunny day, not getting out of bed until about 8. A latte for breakfast with my husband, and fresh flowers on the counter. Windows open, the birds singing and all three of my children home, happy and not having to rush out. I can't imagine anything better. Oh, and then my children agreeing to be photographed without a limit on the number of pictures I can take.

Artificial Intelligence is getting better on a regular basis, soon, AI software program engineers will create joke recognition techniques, where the pc will perceive irony and know when the human is telling a joke, then reciprocate with a joke of their own, maybe making a joke from scratch. AI entails many alternative fields like computer science , mathematics , linguistics , psychology , neuroscience , and philosophy Eventually researchers hope to create a "general artificial intelligence" which can resolve many issues instead of specializing in only one.
When computers with giant recollections became available round 1970, researchers from all three traditions started to construct knowledge into AI applications. 7 Analytical AI has only characteristics in keeping with cognitive intelligence ; generating a cognitive representation of the world and using studying based mostly on previous experience to tell future choices.
The term artificial intelligence is also used to explain a property of machines or packages: the intelligence that the system demonstrates. It is the endeavor to duplicate or simulate human intelligence in machines. Within the following, we are itemizing down 9 very intelligent AI solutions that we're utilizing as we speak, advertising and marketing machine studying as a gift factor – not the long run.
Individuals are actually, really good at some of these duties, and traditionally, computer systems have not been succesful in these areas. There are lots of companies, including tech companies, that are investing in and researching ways in which artificial intelligence may help improve our healthcare system.
Synthetic Intelligence On-line Programs
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the department of laptop sciences that emphasizes the event of intelligence machines, thinking and working like humans. Throughout the previous few years, the phrases artificial intelligence and machine learning have begun showing up continuously in know-how information and web sites. Get a customized learning plan tailor-made to fit your busy life. AI adapts by progressive studying algorithms to let the data do the programming.
This AI takeoff,†also referred to as the singularity, will seemingly see AI pull even with human intelligence and then blow previous it in a matter of days. On this course you will learn how to quickly and easily get started with Synthetic Intelligence using IBM Watson.
They is probably not household names, however these 32 synthetic intelligence firms are engaged on some very good know-how. Learners also work on the basis of " Occam's razor ": The simplest principle that explains the information is the likeliest. Its potential has made it a most sought-after invention in the areas of medical science, monetary systems, air transport, heavy mechanical industries, and even artwork.

On March 6th and 7th FCS teachers visited a 25 year old Christian classical school in Orlando, Florida. In God's providence, we were privileged to hear Joni Eareckson Tada in person during their chapel. Joni's testimony puts our own personal trials in perspective. Her statement, "God permits what He hates to accomplish what He loves" will stick with me for years to come. If you don't know Joni's story I encourage you to read her biography or watch the film which tells her story or even read one of the many excellent books she has written over the years. God's strength in Joni's weakness powerfully shines through and helps others see the glimpses of glory which are only experienced in the valleys of life God brings us through.
One of Geneva's pamphlets said that, "At 'The Geneva School' we strive for far more than simply academic success. We desire our students to grow in wisdom and discernment, to develop godly dispositions of love, compassion, and humility, and to serve their fellow man through the use of their various gifts and callings. We seek by God's grace, to educate the whole person."

Visit the Atlas Mountains, Morocco
Jump to:
Fertile valleys, networks of hiking paths, remote Amazigh villages and snow-smeared peaks across North Africa's highest mountain range.
The three ranges of the Atlas Mountains create a striking, sometimes harsh barrier between the arid Sahara and Morocco's milder coastal climate. The middle of these ranges, the High Atlas Mountains, begins close to the Atlantic in Agadir and run in a jagged line northeast through the country, encompassing some of the region's most authentic pockets of culture as well as offering some of its best opportunities for walking.
The mountains' broad russet slopes are dotted with scrubby pines and lacy cedars, and the peaks gleam with snow even in the warmer months. Dirt roads and narrow footpaths snake through the otherwise pristine landscape, and in the moist, green valleys you'll wind past herds of goats, wild herbs and small, remote villages.
Hiking in the Atlas Mountains
A 90-minute drive from Marrakesh, the range is easy to visit and you can opt to explore on foot or in a 4x4. If you choose to hike, there are a variety of routes you can take, from moderate walks to challenging multi-day treks.
One of the most rewarding hikes is up the slopes of Mount Toubkal, the highest point in North Africa. The three-day climb to its soaring summit (4,167 m or 13,671 ft) requires a good level of fitness but no technical expertise. And, at the wind-scoured top, you're rewarded with seemingly endless vistas of crags and valleys retreating into the distance-hazed horizon.
Visit traditional Amazigh villages
The Amazigh are the original inhabitants of these vast mountains and their civilization reaches back more than eight millennia. Their traditional flat-roofed homes, made from packed stone and earth, seem to have grown from the mountains themselves. They make a living farming and herding livestock, using age-old techniques to live in the fertile valleys between the forbidding slopes.
The modern world has little impact on the villages that cling to the rocky slopes. When you visit, you'll see a way of life that's largely unchanged over thousands of years. Because their lives are so closely tied to the mountains, Amazigh are respectful of the land. This sustainable attitude translates even to the hotels that have sprung up in the past few decades, ecolodges designed to limit their footprint on the rugged, but delicate, landscape.
This ancient culture is known for being particularly warm and welcoming to visitors, and you might find yourself welcomed into a home for a cup of steamy Moroccan mint tea (nicknamed le whiskey Berbere). You can also opt to spend a day with an Amazigh family, learning to bake bread, cook meals or create pottery from the red-brown clay.
Best time to visit the Atlas Mountains
The Atlas Mountains are a year-round destination. Between April and October is the best time to embark on hikes, although some may find it too hot to comfortably complete long-distance routes.
The temperature dramatically decreases in winter, and the peaks can receive downfalls of snow. This can make hiking conditions treacherous, however the scenery looks particularly impressive.

I was watching Madame Secretary and I googled Tim Daley and learned that he is exactly my age. There's no getting around it, Tim Daley is aging a lot better than I am. Quit it, Tim Daley! You're making the rest of us look bad. That said, looking good Tim Daley. Damn you.
Normally I'm just fine about my looks. I'm aging, I'd rather not, but I don't dwell on it. Then I got my hair cut for a piece that PBS is doing about my singing book. This is such a great opportunity and I wanted to look my best, except they cut my hair too short. This caused me to really look at myself, and now I'm terrified at how I'm going to look in this PBS piece. It doesn't matter, right? It's what I say that matters? Except even as I type that I realize of course it matters. Ugh, ugh. ugh. I blame Tim Daley.

Discussion in 'Strategy Building' started by manuptrader, Oct 10, 2005.
do you guys think bullets will ever come back i think erco sucks cant short things half the time
Nope. Don't count on ever seeing bullets again.
They dont generally make any regulations LESS restrictive, they only tend to make them MORE restrictive.
I've heard of bullets in relation to options. What are they?
Basically Synthetic puts.. useless nowadays.
Is ERCO any better now?
What sucks about it (I've never used it)?
Is it expensive?
Erco is awful. I just get conversions in several stocks and then use our firm inventory to short other stocks (Hold has inventory of like 150 stocks and we can access that inventory to short stocks on downticks...they are marked as long sells though but allow us to short nonetheless).
Do you have to pay a premium to short stocks using Hold's inventory?
Apparently ERCO is awful and sucks, but I'm curious as to why.
1. What does ERCO cost?
2. Can you short Nasdaq stocks on it?
3. How often do you get filled?
4. Is there a lot of slippage?
There are plenty of products out there that can get the job done just like bullets.. erco is the absolute worst product out there.. Would never use...
Besides Erco and conversions, what are some of the other products that allow listed shorts on a downtick.
Separate names with a comma.

In 1911, the first Cake Race was held as an open cross-country run at Georgia Tech. Two years later, some of the faculty member's wives started baking cakes for the winners, thus the name Cake Race. Often times, the track coach would go to the race to scout out boys for the track team. In 1935, the Cake Race became a part of Homecoming events in which freshman were required to run. Homecoming week grew with more events each year and in 1954 they began the tradition of electing the Georgia Tech Homecoming Queen. After the Cake Race, the freshman male winner won his cake along with a kiss from the homecoming queen.
On campus today, the Cake Race is held before sunrise on the morning of the Homecoming game. The course has been shortened to half a mile and freshman are no longer required, but strongly encouraged to take part in the race. The finish line is located on top of Freshman Hill near Bobby Dodd Stadium where all freshmen receive cupcakes at the finish and the winners receive their cakes. During halftime at the Homecoming game, Mr. and Ms. Georgia Tech give a kiss to the Cake Race winners on the field.

Just signed up a few days ago and after being let down by my previous supplier with the transfer date Link Broadband have connected my services way earlier than originally asked too. They were all too happy to help even out of hours! Thank you so much, already very impressed.
I must say the customer service from link broadband has been incredible - we've had a fault on our line which link detected and they have been able to communicate with the appropriate people from the start to ensure this fault is resolved. We've received weekly communication from them even when there is no update to give. I've spoken to them over the phone and via live chat and cannot fault them - there prices are also very reasonable and i am very happy to be using there services. they are professional, responsive and great value - high five to link broadband :)
I was looking for an easy to follow step by step guide to a few broadband only deals, and link road band came up , language I could understand and a deal which eclipsed my "thoughts" on price. Excellent customer service, efficient compassionate and brilliantly dealt with my queries. All information was thoroughly explained and time was taken to compare everything to my needs and budget. Fast broadband and reliable. So very happy that I choose link broadband. Would recommend to anyone.
So far so good. I don't normally leave online reviews but the service that Link Broadband provided was exemplary. Straight forward information, clear and concise communication and a faultless-seamless experience from start to finish.
Moved into a new build serviced by OFNL month back and Link seemed to provide what I needed at a good price. Had a few chats with the online customer service before joining and all good since. Quick router delivery and activated on time as promised. Quick response team with faced speed issue. Only point of improvement is everytime I call it goes to receptionist which will take your number and team will call you back. I hope to get connected with team asap instead of lag time. Overall good experience so far.
Customer for 3 months and really happy with service. Very fast and no interruptions. Comparitively best quote and good value for money. Good response and customer care. Will definitely recommend.
It is a really good broadband provider. Same test speed with which I purchased. Fast service, solve my connection issue within 3 working days. Highly recommended!
I've been with Link for a few weeks now. The fibre broadband is really fast, I've not noticed any drop during work calls, streaming or online gaming. The free router works really well and I've not had any problems since I got everything going. I have been invited to the support WhatsApp group should I need any help though. Geo John (the owner) called me to talk me through setting everything up when I ran into difficulty and he was very quick to respond to emails. I can highly recommend Link Broadband!
Outstanding customer service. The migration from my existing OFNL supplier took less than 24 hours with no loss of service, and the value for money is excellent. I would high recommend Link Broadband.
Moved into a new build serviced by OFNL which came with a list of ISPs. Link seemed to provide what I needed at a good price. Had a few chats with the online customer service before joining and all good since. Quick router delivery and activated on time as promised. One issue with low speed was dealt with very quickly - proper hard reset of router solved it. Very responsive customer service and great speeds at all times.
Extremely good customer service, very polite and took their time to attempt to diagnose an issue which turned out to be the fault of a cable I was using. Very responsive company and by far the cheapest OFNL packages. I would 100% recommend!
I just recently changed my broadband and telephone provider over to link broadband. The change over was absolutely seemless. I was kept up to date with the progress. The price is very competitive. And now I am enjoying an excellent and very rapid and reliable connection. I would highly recommend Link broadband.
Link Broadband offered the best price for high-speed internet compared to the other providers available in our area, their customer service was friendly, prompt and professional and I recommend them.
Fantastic service to be honest - activated on the morning it was due too go live , easy to setup and get the speeds I pay for. Overall great service.
We have recently moved into our new house and Geo has been very helpful with answering any questions and helping me get set up! He has gone over and above to make sure it's been a easy process. I would highly recommend this company to anyone! Thank you for making it stress free.
Recommended by my neighbour. Smooth transition, hassle free. Very good support from IT team. Very fast connection, even in the evening, cheapier than other broadbands. Highly recommended.
Really grateful for the help I received when I encountered problems today. Link Broadband called me back to save my phone bill (as I am still on roaming from Thailand) and talked me through the steps to find a solution to a stressful problem. Now I am up and running! Thank you.
Great customer service very quick to help . And prices are very reasonable. Also compared to all other ofnl companies charge a switch fee Link broadband is free !! Would recommend.
Very good. Well priced which is why I initially chose them but also excellent customer service via the chat, even on a bank holiday. Well deserving of 5 stars.
Only just got the internet so not sure about value and quality yet but the quality of service is pretty good and responsive especially for weekend just before Christmas. Managed to have it all set the next day I moved into the flat.
Very helpful support team worked through some unexpected hiccups in bandwidth post-migration to their service; all worked out in the end and now I'm up and running faster than ever. Thanks!

Is it advantageous to outsource development and operation of Decision Support Systems?
Sometimes! Currently, outsourcing and especially global outsourcing of information technology services is one of the most controversial business, economic, political and social topics in the
Best Buy has been an innovator in deploying IT to support decision makers and DSSResources.COM was and is preparing a case study about decision support at Best Buy. Last week, however, Computerworld (www.computerworld.com) reported that Best Buy was negotiating outsourcing all of its IT operations to Accenture. Best Buy's IT staff would be reduced from 820 to 40. The forty remaining staffers would monitor the outsourcing arrangement. In the bylined article, Carol Sliwa (
Best Buy has been innovating with distributed, data-driven DSS to enhance business intelligence (cf., press releases) and its new corporate headquarters was supposedly an "IT mecca". For example, Microsoft showcased Best Buy as an early adopter of Tablet PCs in a wireless environment. Also, in Fall 2003 Best Buy had outsourced help desk services to EDS. So what's going on at Best Buy? I have been trying to contact the PR and IT folks at Best Buy, but I'm not getting a response. BUT let me speculate: too much hype about the possibilities of IT for business intelligence, unfulfilled promises, resistance to change by some IT staff, obsolete skills of some IT staff, cost over-runs on IT projects, a persuasive sales pitch by Accenture, the current "hype" over outsourcing, and finally competitive cost pressures.
Will Best Buy outsource decision support systems and capabilities? We don't know yet. In general, my position is that DSS are always "mission critical" applications and hence should be kept "in-house" whenever possible. Also, packaged vanilla solutions may work for infrastructure and for some processes, but companies don't gain any competitive advantage from "vanilla" decision support solutions.
In Chapter 4 of my DSS Hyperbook titled "Designing and Developing Decision Support Systems", I briefly addressed the issue of outsourcing DSS. A similar discussion is in Power (2002). "Outsourcing involves contracting with outside consultants, software houses or service bureaus to perform systems analysis, programming or other DSS development activities. The outsourcer should be evaluated as a long-term asset and as a source of ongoing value to the company." Some companies also outsource maintenance of DSS especially data warehouses.
My position is that "Outsourcing DSS projects has a number of risks. First, a company relinquishes control of an important capability to an outside organization. Second, contracts for DSS services may be long term and may lock a company into a particular service provider. Finally, a reliance on external sources for new systems development can lead to low technical knowledge among the in-house MIS staff."
There are however benefits to outsourcing DSS projects. "Some of the benefits of outsourcing include potentially lower cost development; access to expertise about new technologies; and outsourcing can free up resources within the firm for other projects. The risks often lead to in-house DSS development rather than to outsourcing. When does outsourcing seem to work? Outsourcing can be successful when we need to turnaround DSS activities quickly and our MIS staff seems unable to build innovative DSS in-house."
In some industries, especially defense, healthcare, government and high technology it has become even riskier to outsource decision support and other "sensitive" IT transaction processing services (cf., Overby, 2004). The risk has increased because of regulations like Health Insurance Portability and Accountability (HIPA) and U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR).
So is it advantageous to outsource development and operation of Decision Support Systems? In my opinion ...
It can be advantageous to outsource DSS development using contract staff or other development services. Many companies can benefit from more expertise related to designing and developing DSS.
It may be desirable to use Web services maintained by third parties as part of some company's DSS environment. By breaking down enterprise decision support applications into shareable Web services it can be easier to connect applications across companies and it may enhance the functionality of existing applications. The ownership and maintenance of Interorganizational DSS will always be an issue of debate. Using Web services provided by third parties may be desirable in some business situations.
It may be appropriate for some small and medium-sized firms to outsource the operation of some decision support services to application service providers. When this path is taken, maintaining control of decision support data and having alternative service providers becomes very important.
Companies have been outsourcing some decision support services since the early days of DSS. Time sharing provided access to capabilities when companies couldn't afford to provide DSS in-house. We are perhaps returning to that approach for some types of DSS, but outsourcing doesn't solve all current problems for any company that moves in that direction and it can and does create new problems. From a managerial perspective, outsourcing avoids the need to directly manage IT and it may be more cost effective that in-house IT, but outsourcing can create strategic vulnerabilities. For example, Best Buy may find that a company like Sears, a competing
From an IST staff perspective, the outsourcing debate showcases the problems inherent in working with information systems and technologies, including rapid obsolescence of IT skills, staffing problems, declining costs of technology, exaggerated expectations, etc., etc. From a
What DSS capabilities can and should you outsource and to whom? Or is it always a bad idea to outsource DSS? Your answers to these questions should depend upon a company-specific systematic analysis of costs and benefits and upon your assessment of the "risks". I'm not aware of a specific DSS to help you make these tough decisions (although some vendor probably has one), but computer support and general purpose software for cost/benefit analysis and risk assessment should prove helpful when you prepare a special study of these decision questions. Intuition and "gut feel" are definitely NOT the best approach for answering these questions.

Welsh history came alive on Friday evening as Harnisch-Lacey Dance's double bill Spin and TAN premiered at Newport Riverfront.
Dance trio Daniel Ovel, Jacob Smart and Tom Tindall mesmerised the audience in the opening 20 minutes of the show with Sandra Harnisch-Lacey's 2014 Edinburgh Fringe success Spin. A breathtaking demonstration of modern dance, Spin was a performance tight in synchronicity but showing flair of contortion was only a taster of things to come.
The second part of the evening saw the premiere of TAN, a dance based drama inspired by Wales' journey to reclaim its cultural identity. TAN combines elements of contemporary dance, breakdance and parkour performances while exploring the universal themes of identity, freedom and power of transformation.
The centerpiece of the production is a 1930s arson attack in North Wales by dramatist Saunders Lewis, poet Lewis Valentine and novelist Di Williams following the century long purposeful decline of the Welsh language within school and the enforcement of the wearing of The Welsh Not for any child who chose to disobey their peers wishes.
The production portrays the three men as defenders of the Welsh culture, defying segregation and bringing to life the brilliance of Wales past, presence and future.
A combination of contemporary music, soundscape and video clips of Wales' cultural history were liberally intermingled with the dancers' powerhouse dance performances including the historic arson attack on the RAF bombing school in Penyberth.
Rather than just recall history, TAN also enforces the message of the ongoing importance of the freedom of the Welsh language and as my 12 year old daughter pointed out brought the words of the Welsh National anthem into clarity.
Suitable for older children upwards TAN is a must-see show bringing together Welsh cultural history and the finest in contemporary dance. There's a further chance to catch TAN at The Met in Abertillery on March 12 and The Gate Arts Centre, Cardiff on March 18. Visit harnischlacey.com for details

What you will learn
- How to make your ads more visible
- How Ad Thrive can make managing ads much easier
- How to balance ads so that they do not ruin the user experience
- How to get started with sponsored posts
- How much you can charge for sponsored posts
- Who buys sponsored posts and why
This week Perrin is joined by special guest Bjork Ostrom. Perrin has been a huge fan of Bjork and his wife Lindsay's food blog, Pinch of Yum, ever since finding their site through their income reports.
In fact, it was one of the first blogs that Perrin had ever seen do income reports. Ever since then, Perrin has followed their progress keenly and even featured the site in an article about how successful bloggers make their money.
Growing from the income reports, Bjork and Lindsay now also run Food Blogger Pro which teaches wannabe food bloggers how to start, grow, & monetize their food blogs.
In today's podcast, we are going to dive into the Pinch of Yum story and then focus on how they use AdThrive to generate around 50% of their revenue. Perrin and Bjork will also discuss sponsored content, including how much you can charge for a sponsored post.
Pinch of Yum: The Background
A Pinch of Yum started in 2010. Lindsay, Bjork's wife, was interested in posting recipes on social media. After a while, she began to think that there must be a better place to store the recipes. This is where the idea for Pinch of Yum was born.
At the same time, Bjork had always been interested in the idea of starting an online business. After reading Crush It by Gary Vaynerchuk, he was pumped. The message was that you can build a business from whatever you passion is.
So why not a food blog?
Lindsay was willing to give it a try, thus, Pinch of Yum was born.
Bjork and Lindsay split the responsibilities. Lindsay was always the content creator. Bjork's job was to handle the site creation, the back-end and the marketing.
2010-2012: The Hustle Years
The first two years were all about hustling to see if the idea would work. Throughout this time, both Bjork and Lindsay always had either full or part time jobs.
In this period, the focus was on creating high-quality content. The focus was on the kind of visitors, not the number of visitors. The rationale was that if they could focus on getting the right kind of visitors, the number of visitors would soon follow.
So, Lindsay focused on what she could control in the content. A huge aspect of food blogging is the photography. Lindsay spent time learning her craft until she had perfected the art of food photography.
2012-2014: This Seems to be Working
After a couple of years, they could see that the site was really gaining some traction.
At this point they recognized it was time to start being more strategic. Bjork decided it was time to learn how SEO works. They doubled down on content creation.
As you'll see with most sites, they were seeing periods of growth, plateaus and then more growth periods.
The first big spike came from Pinterest.
Strangely, it came from the founder of Pinterest's mother. For some reason, she had millions of followers. One day, she shared one of Lindsay's recipes. It was re-pinned thousands of times and traffic continued to flow for months.
2014 Onwards: Let's See How Big This Can Get
In 2014, there came a point where Bjork and Lindsay were making more money from Pinch of Yum than they were with their jobs.
It was time to quit and go full-time. From here the started building a small but strong team to focus on growth and this is where they are now:
- More than 3 million sessions per month
- 4-5 million page views per month
- Visitors peaks in November, December and January
- Revenue peaks in Q4 (October, November and December)
- Average revenue $60-100k per month
Why Publish Income Reports as a Food Blog?
A year into the blog, Bjork and Lindsay were stuck in two contradictory states of mind:
- Food blogging should be done out of passion, not as a business.
- Your business should be your passion, we can make money from food blogging.
Bjork genuinely didn't know whether it was possible to make money from a food blog. The income reports were an experiment. They called it the "food blog money making experiment".
They were able to report, if you do this then that happens. The reason it worked was that they could make small tactical changes, or try an new traffic generation method and report a significant outcome from it.
However, when the site really began to take off, there was a disconnect between what the income reports were trying to do and the effect they were having.
They were no longer a scrappy start-up and the advice they were giving was not as actionable as it had once been.
Instead of implement Facebook ads in this way, the advice was becoming hire a person to manage sponsored content.
It was at this point that it no longer made sense to publish the income reports.
Ad Thrive – Why does it make up over 50% of Pinch of Yum's Income?
AdThrive is an ad optimization company that manages relationships with ad networks to maximise revenue. However, to understand what this truly means, we need a brief history of online ads.
Phase 1 – Dealing with Individual Brands
When ads first emerged, you had to make a deal with brands. You would either agree a CPM or a monthly rental fee for the space and post their ad on your site in the agreed place. The main thing was that you had to do the ad sales yourself.
Phase 2 – Ad Networks
Ad networks would do the sales. All they required was for you to put a piece of code on your site and they would fill your ad space for a cut of the ad revenue.
The downside was that these ad networks didn't always fill all the space. So, you would have to go to a second, lower paying ad network to fill the rest of the space. If they couldn't fill the space, you would have to go to a third, even lower paying network and so on.
Phase 3 – Ad Optimization Companies
Ad Optimization companies manage the relationship with the ad networks. They find the best possible ads, for the best possible price to make sure that you are filling as much ad space for as much money as possible.
Bjork started working with Ad Thrive as a phase 3 company. They manage the entire Pinch of Yum ad inventory and optimize all of the ads.
Ad Thrive can make Pinch of Yum over $50k per month in ad revenue.
There are other alternatives such as Ezoic and Criteo but Ad Thrive handle 100% of Pinch of Yum's ad inventory.
Before and After Ad Thrive
It's important to have a balance when it comes to ads.
You have to think about how many ads are showing, how visible they are and the quality of the views.
Did You Know
An ad is viewable when half the ad is on the page for more than 1 second.
Companies are starting to place a priority on the viewability of ads.
Before AdThrive, Bjork didn't have exact RPM (revenue per thousand impressions) information. Now he can pin this down to the range of $11-14.
This is good, but it's not uncommon for ad focused bloggers to get upwards of $16 RPM. They do this by placing ads in prominent places – such as in the content itself or in sticky sidebars that scroll with the reader.
When Should People Start with Ads?
So at an RPM of $12, you can expect to make $12 per day from ads if you have 1,000 page views per day. Just bear in mind, ads work well with high traffic sites, not so well with low traffic sites. You have to decide whether it is worth it for you based upon your site traffic.
The way Bjork looks at it is – are you interested in ads, CPM, RPM and squeezing out every penny you can get from 1,000 impressions?
If you are, you can go ahead and get started because you will enjoy what you are doing and make a bit of money along the way.
If not, however, wait until it will generate what is a substantial amount of money for you.
If you are getting 2, 3 or 4 thousand page views per day, then you no longer really have an excuse to put it off.
You need to be strategic about ads. If you have a site that is focused on conversions (e.g. making affiliate sales), having ads on that page can harm your conversion rate.
Managing Ads in the Back-end
Ad management or optimization companies will either help you or completely manage the setup for you.
They will come in, install any necessary plugins and have someone on hand to help you with optimization.
There is an application process to be accepted to AdThrive. If you get accepted, there will be someone on hand to help you with this stuff.
Maximising Ad Profits
On top of Pinch of Yum, Bjork and Lindsay also run Food Blogger Pro.
Food Blogger Pro is a membership site that teaches people how to create profitable food blogs based upon Bjork and Lindsays' experiences.
This means they have to be strategic about which pages they place ads on and which pages they are looking to use to push readers towards Food Blogger Pro.
On the whole however, optimizing ads comes down to two things –
- Usability
- Income Creation
You have to consider the disruptive effect that bad ads have upon the user experience.
You can shove 10 ads on a page but it is going to ruin the user experience and people will stop using the site.
Also, you need to optimize ads for different devices. There is no sidebar on mobile. You need to have different ads that work for users on mobile.
To generate revenue, ads also have to be visible. This may mean placing ads within the content itself or within a sticky sidebar that scrolls with the user.
Finally, focus on the quality of the content. Are people genuinely interested and engaging with your content? You can earn more money from ads if you have a high quality of visitor.
Generating Revenue From Sponsored Content
Given that we are so SEO focused, sponsored posts are totally alien to us at Authority Hacker. I mean, who would pay for a sponsored post when you have to nofollow the links?!
Well, it turns out that a lot of people will. In fact, Bjork tells us that Pinch of Yum can generate significant revenue from a single sponsored blog post or video on Instagram.
What is a Sponsored post and who is buying them?
With sponsored posts, you are going to be dealing with brands. In this context, you have to be aware that there are different people within these companies looking for different outcomes.
Yes, there will be someone sitting in the company whose job it is to rank higher for certain keywords but the people who you are dealing with for sponsored content are more interested in attention or exposure.
This may be in the form of a sponsored blog post with product placement and links to the product, it may be in the form of an Instagram post or a YouTube video.
On top of the exposure, they are also looking for referral traffic. They can track the traffic coming from these sources, the purchases that have been made and they can calculate an immediate return on investment.
Does sponsored content demand a higher price on the blog or social media?
It depends.
For Pinch of Yum, the blog and Instagram are the best and most interactive platforms. This makes them ripe for sponsored posts.
If you were very personable and good at making YouTube videos, this would also be a great place to create sponsored content.
Brands who are running non-SEO campaigns tend to be more interested in social media. Bjork also says that Pinch of Yum find it a lot easier to create produce a video for Instagram than creating an entire blog post.
What price can you command for a sponsored post?
Again, it depends.
An interesting point to note is that you can use your engagement metrics to price a post.
For example, if, on average, you get around 1,500 likes and 100 comments on an Instagram post, you can use around $1,600 as a baseline.
Really though, the bigger you are, the higher a premium you can place on a guest post. For a blog the size of Pinch of Yum, they can easily charge anywhere in the range of $5-10k for sponsored content.
Who Does the Sales of the Sponsored Content?
Nowadays, it is all inbound through the contact form.
Initially, they worked with an agency that would manage the entire sales process and interaction with the clients but Bjork sees it as being much more beneficial to handle it all in-house.
Pinch of Yum usually agree a package of 4-6 posts rather than just a single post.
In the sales process, the most important thing is to be very clear about the deliverables and note these down in the contract.
This should include – how many photos, the number of links and to which pages, where the content will be posted (social channels) and how many times.
It should also include the number of revisions that the organization can make, including the types of changes and the amount of input they have into the content.
It is important that the brand has some say but the content still has to be in your own voice.
What are the First Steps for Someone With a Large Following who hasn't Done Sponsored Posts?
The first thing to do is to create a Work with Me page.
Here, you can put information about your sponsored content, link to any sponsored content that you have done previously.
If you have not done a sponsored content before, you could create some example sponsored content. From there, you can reach out to the company and start to build a relationship with them.
Or, you can simply start building relationships with people from companies you would like to work with. The best place to begin is with social media. Drop them a message and start engaging with them.
Remember, don't try and sell them straight away. Build the relationship first.
If you are a small site, it makes sense to start building these relationships straight away in the hopes that they will mature further down the line. It can also make sense to start building a portfolio that you can share with people who may want to purchase sponsored posts in the future.
If you are in a high traffic niche, ads and sponsored posts are a great way to generate revenue. Bjork and Lindsay have proven that both monetization methods can be extremely lucrative.
If you are running your own food blog, it could be worth checking out Food Blogger Pro or you can also use their WordPress plugin to markup in your recipes in a way that is easy for Google to recognize.

Babylon Bee Joins Massive Florida Lawsuit to Fight Big Tech Censorship
Satire website has been targeted by Facebook 'fact-checkers'
The Babylon Bee has filed a legal brief in support of a Florida law aimed at combatting Big Tech censorship, the Christian satire website's CEO Seth Dillon announced Friday.
Speaking during an interview on "Fox & Friends First," Dillon brought up how the Bee has been targeted by Facebook's so-called "independent fact-checkers."
He also revealed how social media content moderators, who want the site de-platformed for making the wrong jokes, have attacked the site.
"We face some of these censorship problems, we've faced challenges with fact-checks being abused to try and get us de-platformed and knocked off the platform," Dillon said.
"There are new policies now that are aimed at curbing and minimizing hate speech but really they're going to affect satire like ours because they consider some of our jokes 'punching down' because we aim at some of their sacred cows.
"So, there is a lot of reasons why it's a deal for us."
"We've been threatened with de-platforming many times, we are actively being throttled on Facebook, for example, so it's in our best interest to make sure we have an equal right to these platforms, that their content standards that are put into place are applied evenly," Dillon continued.
According to Dillon, social media companies are abusing the liability protections they enjoy under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.
"I think the end game should be to basically restore the original intended purpose of Section 230, which was to give these platforms a shield from liability and the ability to moderate the content on their platforms," Dillon said.
"But, the content moderation is supposed to be done in good faith, that's one of the provisions of the statute, and right now we're not seeing good faith implementation of these moderation practices.
"They're not just taking down objectively obscene or lewd content, they're engaging in politically motivated viewpoint discrimination," he asserted.
He compared Section 230 protections to "tax-exempt status," a "legal benefit with qualifying conditions" that companies may enjoy as long as they follow the law.
Dillon said tech companies must realize the platforms they've created have become a "public square" that must not favor certain viewpoints over others.
The Florida law, which is currently being challenged in court, allows state residents to sue Big Tech companies if they feel they've been treated unfairly and prohibits those companies from de-platforming political candidates.
After trade groups representing Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites sued Florida, a federal judge in June temporarily blocked the law from going into effect, siding with the plaintiffs' argument that the law violated the First Amendment.
Since then, 11 states have joined Florida in an appeal to reverse the court's decision, according to The Blaze.
"I'm optimistic, I think ultimately, this will be resolved. It will either be resolved because Congress is going to end up revising Section 230 language to make it a little bit more explicit about what needs to happen there, you know good faith is kind of vague," Dillon said.
"I'm optimistic that there is going to be a solution.
"It may have to go to the Supreme Court."

In this guide, we'll talk about phase 4, where you'll get to know the SEO Action Cards and how you can manage and track your work progress with the below steps:
- Access Your Action Plan and Summary
- Check and Implement Action Cards
- Review Your Completed and Declined Actions

- Check to See Results
Note: The Crazy Domains Simple SEO tool is self-managed. If you wish us to manage your website's SEO, we also have dedicated SEO experts who can ensure you reach your SEO goals faster. Compare self-managed and managed SEO by reading the linked guide.
Accessing Your Action Plan and Summary
In the previous phase, we learned that a well-planned SEO will make sure that we achieve the positive results that we want for our website and business. Follow these steps to access the Action Plan you created and view the summary:
|Step 1.
|Log In to the Online Marketing Hub.
|Step 2.
|Click Open on Simple SEO and click on the Action Plan tab.
You'll find your Action Plan Summary at the top of the dashboard, which immediately gives you an overview of your SEO tasks. We'll talk more about that later. First, let's work on Your Planned Actions.
Checking & Implementing Action Cards
Action Cards are the tasks suggested to you by the SEO tool, which you need to implement to optimise your website for better search engine results ranking. And, the number of Action Cards you'll have will depend on your current website's needs.
The Action Cards that appear under Open Actions are those that you've prioritised. However, this can still be a lot and you might want to zero-in on the first one to work with. Here's how:
|Step 3.
|While on the Open Actions tab under Your Planned Actions, click on the Export to CSV link.
This will download a list of all your Open Actions and allow you to easily decide on what to do first. Once you've decided on that, check and implement Action Cards as follows:
|Step 4.
|Under Open Actions, click on an Action Card.
|Step 5.
|Click on the [v] Arrow Icon to view the information provided. Then, proceed as instructed.
|Step 6.
|Once done, click the [x] Exit Icon on the Action Card, then click Finish on the task that you just accomplished, enter the number of hours it took to implement the Action, then click Continue.
Note: When adding hours to complete an action, make sure to add "h" for hourly at the end before clicking the Submit button.
You have the option to add notes upon completing an action card. The Notes feature allows you to add key details that you can review if you are to rework a specific action card for future reference.
The Action Card will now be moved under the Completed Actions tab and your Action Summary will automatically update.
If during this phase you find that you want to remove a task from your list, you can quickly do so, too. Simple click the Decline button on the card and select all the reasons that apply, then click Submit. You will be able to revisit the task under the Declined Actions section.
Reviewing Your Completed and Declined Actions
During the implementation phase, it's good practice to revisit your Completed and Declined tasks under their respective tabs to ensure that you've covered all actions needed. And, if you find something that needs to be redone or added back to your Open Actions, follow the respective steps below:
- To Rework a Completed Action: - Click Completed Actions and click Rework.
- To Restart on a Declined Action: - Click Declined Actions and click Restart.
The steps above will automatically move the Action Cards back to your Open Actions list for you to start implementing.
Keeping Track of Your Progress
As you implement and complete Action Cards, the system also adjust the Action Summary accordingly. You can adjust the Period to see your progress for specific dates. The Progress bar corresponds to the percentage of completed tasks in relation to the total number of Open Actions.
Checking to See Results
If you haven't yet completed all of your actions, the Results page will be empty as shown in the image below:
Once you've completed all the actions to be taken during the month, check back and see the impact it's made on your ranking. You'll also receive an email notification regarding the same. It's important to note that you may not get the desired results right away. You need to analyse the results and find the next areas to improve until you succeed.
So, when do we actually see results in our rankings?
This is perhaps the most agonising part of SEO. Results take time. Read the article below to know more:
