This is the first in a series of articles for people who have a new website or are in the process of getting one created and are wondering how they should use the website and what they need to do to actually get some business.
The content here is from my years of personal experience with clients and hundreds of hours of research I have conducted.
Most people are online in some shape or form these days. The internet has never been more accessible and accessed.
This is due to the fact that we all walk around clutching our mobile phones and that tablets and laptops are at an all-time low price.
So is everyone online?. Not quite but everyone has access to online "stuff". You can assume with confidence that most people access some form of online source whether it be from a website, app, social media or email at least sometime during the week and more often multiple times during the day.
Of course your Aunty Mary is an outlier and has never had a mobile phone and hand writes postcards using a fountain pen but basically, online access is available to most people even if they may not be tweeting Facebook ninjas.
Whether this amount of access is a good thing is an ongoing debate and the term digital detox is used more and more for when we try and get away from it and stop looking online constantly.
But outside the detox, we use online for information, fun, and research all the time. That isn't going to change.
How we behave online has changed a lot too as the years have gone by. With the variety of the above sources from the web to Facebook to Snapchat and the ease of access we are more impatient and spend way less time examining or even searching for what we need than before.
It is estimated that the time we spend inspecting information that is displayed to us is now in single seconds. The fact that you have read this far is in itself amazing.
So more and more businesses see an online presence as the place where they can grow their business, presence and actually do business.
But let's hop in the time capsule for a second to dispel some common misconceptions.
In the early days of the Internet, many web-savvy businesses established an online presence creating or getting companies like us to create what is still called a brochure website.
This harks back to brochures that we still get in our mailboxes (and perhaps pop quickly in the recycle bin) that have 4-5 pages online about the company and what they do and provide.
The brochure website is still hugely popular. The concept is the same and it is easy to create one that allows you proclaim proudly "this is my website".
There are of course many many other variations of online websites but the recommendations and comments on the brochure site below and throughout this series applies to all sites really.
Sadly creating a 4-5 page website is often a waste of time.
This may sound sacrilegious from someone who pays his bills from customers paying me to create such sites (and more advanced ones too).
But it requires some explanation.
I do this a lot. I am on my couch or in the office during the day and I think up of a website idea or name that I think might work. www.kieranstrendycandles.com for instance (no that isn't a website (yet!)).
I register the domain, create a quick brochure website on it and then quickly forget it. I probably own personally about 30+ domains spawned from such unfinished ideas.
So what you say?
For most of these hobby sites (a term I use loosely as a hobby implies I spend time on them), I install Google Analytics which allows me to look at how many visitors these sites get.
Usually, they have decent names and the content usually isn't complete dross. In the initial burst of energy, I would have put some decent content on them usually only 3-4 pages before I stop doing much with them.
In nearly all the cases in the 12 months that have passed, they have had no visitors at all.
None – not even from me as I had forgotten about them.
If you visit them they look well, are credible, have decent well-written text and in the few hours I spent creating them I made them easy to access and navigate.
None of them would win web awards but you would think that they were credible businesses.
So nobody visited them, nobody sent any emails to them (bar spam ironically) so they sat there in a lonely space.
So what you say? (again!)
Thousands of companies do this every day for their new websites. Battle with the look (or branding as some call it which it isn't again more on this some other time), create a few pages and then leave them with the optimistic hope that they will trigger a stream of new business by virtue of their presence.
It doesn't
So how do websites actually get visitors and traffic?
It isn't a one-line answer anymore.
In the past 20 years, hundreds of thousands of websites have been created for businesses many in the realm of brochure style (e.g. 5-10 pages of information looking nice!)
Unless these sites are on page one for search I usually bet safely that 90% of the existing brochure websites that are out there are getting minimal traffic.
The exception to this rule is that if the business is already well known by its name. If Kieran's Candles are already known due to having a shop on Candle Street then the website complements this presence nicely already.
If Kieran never made a candle in his life, hasn't a shop and now wants to sell his amazing candles online then creating the website online is really just the smallest of smallest steps.
What in the name of goodness should you do to get said traffic and become the king or queen of online candles in your area or market?
Good question and there are answers and ways that have been tried and tested. But before we even point out the best ones it is worth emphasising a few points.
I love branding, adore the right colour choices, and think a well designed logo is a thing of beauty. I have often spent 1-2 hours looking through Behance at some of the absolutely rock star designs from designers out there.
If you are starting out online then I advise you strongly to not worry about this one single bit.
You may exclaim that you need a logo, that you want the right photos, that you saw an amazing template that would work perfectly on your website.
Here is where I scream STOP.
In my teachers voice I ask you to read back above.
The VAST majority of brochure sits get NO traffic of value.
Yes you may share the new website with some fans, friends and even as a signature link (all well advised approaches) but other than that I will bet you €100 that if you do not follow my advice (and it isn't mine it is what all marketing businesses advise in some shape or form) your website will get minimal visitors..
Before we delve into what works best for marketing we need to comment on keywords and put that puppy to bed.
Like you when I need some information I tap the keywords into Google search and look at the results and click the links that I think have the best results.
We all do it.
As a result there is a perception that for Kierans Candles I sprinkle candle and candle related words throughout my website and Google will quickly put me ahead of my competition.
In the early days of the Internet (mid to late 1990s) this approach worked well. And you don't have to be a genius to realise that it was taken advantage of and for a period if you loaded up your website with keywords then you DID come up top for search.
Google in the intervening years now has added many other factors that influence why your website shows up above another. Keywords are still a factor and a strong factor but it isn't the only one.
Unfortunatel,y it is the easiest one. We can all type and it is alluring to think that if I write 500 words on candles that is all I have to do to dominate the space.
Yes writing good, useful content that has keywords in it in a carefully crafted manner is important but doing this alone will have little impact on your visitor numbers unless it is the best one ever written (more on that in my content page coming soon).
These days getting to the top of those search results is a combination of the above Google factors. The experts surmise that there are approximately 100 factors now. Don't despair at this number as for Kierans Candles implementing 7-10 of the most important ones may often be enough.
But there is another challenge lurking out there.
If I was to give one piece of advice to someone who wants to do business online about marketing it would be to think seriously about paid search.
Google makes its money from a range of services with its apps like paid Gmail and more and more they now do cloud services and I am sure that in the GooglePlex they are thinking up more and more ideas of how they can supply some paid services.
But paid search or Adwords or Pay Per Click (the terms are used interchangeably) are how they make the most of their money. You see ads in YouTube videos now, on the top of your search results for all services (not as much for non revenue generating results) and in the sidebars and background of all sorts of sites.
Now many of my clients pooh, pooh at paid search saying "its not for us/me".
But paid search works. For web search the fact that a search result is actually a paid result is now presented so unobtrusively that many people don't even know it is a paid result. And for many that do they assume that is a credible result to click on.
Paid search works and pays Google's bills. If it didn't work people wouldn't use it.
I know that with the right paid search plan that I could make Kieran's Candles quite successful online with well positioned ads and generate decent focused traffic at the expense of the other candle website that doesn't do ads and might have better candles.
The instinctive response to this is why doesn't everyone do it. It's because it costs money. A click on ad costs you money each time. Depending on the keywords the price of that click can vary considerably. As I write this the price of a click for website design and variants is about €3-€5 per click. You can pay as little as a few cent for some keywords and in the hundreds for others (Asbestos Lawyers anyone?).
So for a 100 click,s I get charged 300-500 euro. Hurrah you say. 100 customers. Ka-ching.
Well it doesn't work like that. It is rare for any website to get 100% conversions (perhaps unheard of). Think of a shop does everyone who walks in buy. No.
For websites it it is more like 1-3% conversion and perhaps higher for other sites. For example when I visit Amazon I probelay make a purchase 4-5 imes out of every 10 visits as I am only visiting to purchase something so that is 40-50% in my case.
But again research, statistics show conclusively that 1 out of a hundred is reasonable (1%) and 3-5 out of a hundred is decent to great.
So in the 500 euro case it will have cost me 500 euro to get 1-3 leads. Converting them to customers is another days discussion. For me I am happy to spend 3-500 euro to get 3 leads and with careful budgeting I spend less than this to keep my lead list healthy 2-3 times per month.
I will write more about paid search and other search factors in more posts..
Summary – Websites are a job
A website is not a start, middle, end type of thing anymore. I often get aske,d "Is the website ready now?".
No it isn't.
Amazon isn't complete. I bet they have a hundred people looking at the next feature that will get more sales. They know they are never finished.
Neither should you.
And I know you aren't Amazon but we live in a very very active online space. As mentioned above with the right focus, work, and budget it is possible for Kierans Candles to crush an established candle supplier online. Maybe not on the high street but for sure online.
You need to think like actively and creatively about your online presence (and I include social and other platforms under this umbrella). You may not think you are creative but I bet you are as you know your business back to front and all you need are the tools or the advice.
The pillars of successful online are simple really in my book and are
- Great content to base all your marketing on and having a plan for it.
- Keeping a constant tempo with your organic or paid marketing (if you choose)
- Exploring areas and platforms that may help even if you don't like them.
- Not giving up when success does not come instantly.
Why Bother – Sounds Like a Lot of Work
Understandable – it is a lot of work. But as mentioned at the start of this article, people are spending an enormous amount of time online. We see traditional businesses closing all the time like ToysRUs, Bookshops, sports shops and so on. Why because people buy online more and more every day.
In additio,n they find all their information about services, facilities and news online. Maybe not your social circle but the 15-35 year old market are online monsters and if you aren't there and not in their eyeballs you are losing customers.
You may not care. That is fine. I 100% understand that. There is still word of mouth that says ignore what you read Kieran's Candles are the best you can get full stop. And that works greatly. In the "Rock, Paper Scissors" of marketing word of mouth wins nearly every time.
But if you want to expose your business to more eyes then that nice website isn't enough. It is a good start but just a beginning.

WELL the dreaded International break is over after Alex McLeish put his EBT worries to one side on a wet Monday evening at at three quarters empty Hampden to beat Albania -who beat Israel (the other team in the group) on Friday night.
Two goals in the second half gave McLeish's side the win and raised the spirits of the Tartan Army who burst into a rendition of Doe a Deer a female Deer…
No-one was in the Celtic end to shake their head at this – we think!
Naismith, not even in the original squad, was preferred to Leigh Griffiths – a remarkable decision from the former Rangers manager.
The Allan McGregor, currently serving a lifetime ban for playing for Scotland was in goals and unlike Craig Gordon on Friday, he kept a clean sheet.
There was no place for James Forrest, a key performer for Brendan Rodgers, who watched on alongside John Kennedy and these two must surely have noticed the calming influence that Charlie Mulgrew brings to a defence.
Callum McGregor, for so long overlooked by a stubborn Gordon Strachan, was only one of two Celtic player in the starting eleven – league leaders Hearts had two as well – was easily Scotland's best player.
Kieran Tierney watched Andy Robertson float balls into he box before he decided to show him how its done at Celtic – just a reminder that KT is second to no-one.
Both Celtic bhoys were excellent.
Stuart Armstrong appeared for the second half and made that £7million transfer seem like a shrewd piece of business.
John McGinn almost sold the jerseys again with a short pass back but generally had a decent night. Would he be a starter for Celtic had Peter Lawwell done his job? Probably not but he'd have the benefit of Brendan coaching him.
Celtic's loss but also John McGinn's loss.
Man of the Match – Callum McGregor. Why? There was no-one better.
Claims by The Celtic Star that there was no Celtic supporters at Hampden this evening has been disproved by Scotland manager Alex McLeish. Here is is seen spotting the Bhoy in the crowd…
It was a well deserved spot as he had spent much of the evening looking…
So, who was this rogue Celtic supporter who turned up tonight?
No it wasn't him, he's more likely to be a Hearts man anyway (we love him really). Here he is….
Shocking, Jamsie, shocking…
Have your say on the new Celtic forum – the Celtic Noise…

On paper, 2017 was a banner year for female protagonists in film. The year's top three movies at the box office were Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Wonder Woman, and Beauty and the Beast, all of which featured a woman in the leading role. But according to a new study, the number of female protagonists in film actually decreased last year.
San Diego's Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film conducts an annual investigation into gender in Hollywood films, and its newly-released 2017 results show that women made up only 24 percent of protagonists in last year's top-grossing films—that's five percent fewer than in 2016.
And that's not all. The study also measures how many films feature 10 or more female characters with speaking roles: that was just 32 percent in 2017, compared to 79 percent of films that featured 10 or more male characters with speaking roles. The overall number of female characters in top-grossing movies stayed static year-on-year; it was 37 percent in both 2016 and 2017.
The number of female characters of colour increased slightly, but the numbers remain low. Latina female characters saw the biggest increase, from three percent to seven percent, while black female characters went from 14 percent to 16 percent, and Asian female characters went from six percent to seven percent.
The study also found that films directed or written by a woman fared much better with female representation: 45 percent of films with either a female director or writer had a female protagonist, versus 20 percent of films with all-male creative teams.

Mystery remains over whether a now controversial June 4, 2011 letter from Principal of the Alexandra School, Jeff Broomes, alleging the absence of instruction by a senior teacher, ever made it to the Ministry of Education.
The official in charge of the ministry's Records Management Unit, Principal Personnel Officer Stephanie Soverall, today said her department, which is responsible for "incoming mail and outgoing mail", had no evidence the principal's correspondence ever made it there.
She was testifying this morning at the Commission of Enquiry into the school when it resumed hearings.
The officer said mail was received by the ministry from various sources, including that which was collected from the post office, and taken straight to her unit where it was recorded and sorted.
There were also instances were people placed correspondence in a mailbox in the "receptionist area" at the ministry, mail was given by hand to officials there, while letters also went directly to the administration block for the attention of the minister, permanent secretary and chief education officer.
In the case of the latter method, mail received was usually stamped and recorded by the executive secretary of the particular official.
She said mail from school principals or chairmen of school boards was usually sent via porter/messengers, who would have books that could be signed indicating the correspondence was received at the ministry.
Soverall said there was no sign of Broomes' letter, in which he was telling education officials about an allegation that science teacher Amaida Greaves had not taught a class of fourth formers for an entire term.
"We have checked as far back as May, because I wanted to see how the mail was being recorded, if it was being recorded on a daily basis, and we have no evidence in the human resource section of our registry of it having been received," she told the commission.
She said the Chief Education Officer's executive secretary was also asked about the letter and had said she knew nothing of it.
Additionally, there was no evidence that Broomes' letter was placed in the mailbox in the reception area.
"That mail is opened in the registry, it is recorded in the registry and all information is also seen by our registry persons once there is no confidential mail and if it is to the attention of any person, and we have found nothing that indicates that letter was received," she said.
Soverall, who joined the ministry three years ago, added: "It is my denial of having received the letter in the registry or Records Management Unit of the ministry."
Responding to questions from the principal's senior counsel Vernon Smith, QC, the officer said she did not deal with all mail herself and did not personally check everything daily. She also said she could not say all mail going to the registry "is recorded". (SC)

Fall is a great time to run in North America. The cooler weather makes it one of the perfect seasons to run a marathon. Over the years, I have run many big city marathons such as Chicago, Toronto, New York City, and the Marine Corps Marathon as my first fall marathon. I love the big city experiences that they can bring to this southern runner.
Every year, I try to put at least one early fall marathon in my race calendar. I do not want to miss any opportunity training during the humid, slow days of summer in which I can log most of my training miles. After the hot summer months of training, the subsequent cooler fall races can put my summer training to the test. Over the years, I have proven my own saying: "Summer training can bring a Fall Personal Record (PR)".
As a family man and a runner, I like to plan some of my races when my family can travel with me. This gives us a break from our busy work/school schedules as well a quick getaway in general. My family has travelled with me to many big city marathons. However, my kids' school, my work, my own school, and the cost factor makes it harder to travel to big cities every year to run marathons.

In November of 2011, as I was looking for an alternative first fall marathon that was close to home, I came across the 7 Bridges Marathon. Duane, a co-worker, running buddy and contributor to MRuns.com, mentioned that there was a new marathon named the 7 Bridges Marathon in Chattanooga. I'd never ran in Chattanooga, though I had been to the area before. Like most who hear about running in Chattanooga for the first time, I thought it was going to be a hilly race like in Atlanta. I looked up the race website (http://sevenbridgesmarathon.com/) and reviewed course profiles (http://www.mapmyrun.com/us/chattanooga-tn/7-bridges-marathon-v4-route-29344266). I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the race was not hilly, with a total climb of just 445 feet for the entire race. I told my friend Duane that I would run the marathon next year – 2012– and the rest is history.
As I prepare for my 3rd year of the 7 Bridges marathon, I reflect back and realize how much I have enjoyed the race, city and people of Chattanooga. In the last two years, I have been able to set my PR to a point that I am yet to break in any other marathons outside Chattanooga – even on flat and fast courses. In 2013, I was able to achieve every runner's dream of being a Boston Qualified (BQ) runner. Yes! I will be running the Boston 2015 – and it's all thanks to the 7 Bridges Marathon!
As much as I want you to join me in the next 7 Bridges Marathon, I also want you to realize that you do not have to travel hundreds of miles and spend thousands of dollars to achieve your PR, or qualify for Boston, or enjoy a city and marathon. It can be done close to home.
The City of Chattanooga
I have always loved the city of Chattanooga and the things it offers for a family. It is only around 2.5 hours from the Birmingham, AL area. Before I was even a runner, I visited the city with my family for quick weekend getaways. Now, once per year, I have an opportunity to visit the city and connect to new people and places. I call it a "win-win" for both my family and I.
The city has to a lot to see for both kids and adults, such as the Tennessee Aquarium, the Riverwalk area, Point Park, Rock City, Ruby Falls, the Kids' Science Museum and more (http://www.chattanoogafun.com/). Even with all this, we still have more to discover. My family and I plan to go back to Chattanooga for a long time. If you have never visited the city, you should give it a try – even on non-marathon weekends.
Where can I find race information?
MRuns.com has information including a 10% discount at http://www.mruns.com/?p=12736. You can also visit the event website for more information: http://sevenbridgesmarathon.com/
When is the race? And how is the weather?
The race is on the 3rd Sunday in October. As mentioned earlier, the weather during this time of year is cooler. Training through the hot summer months has great payback during fall due to the weather. In the last two years, the temperature upon the start of the race was around 45 degrees. A perfect start, especially when you have been training within harsher weather.
How is the course?
The course is mostly flat, other than bridges. The race start crosses the river from downtown, then runs through part of the city before it goes away from city. The 5th bridge around mile 17, which is the furthest point on the race course, has the longest and biggest climb. Once you get to the top of the bridge, the rest is mostly downhill and flat on the banks of the Tennessee River. The riverside run is great and peaceful.
In conclusion, if you are still looking for your first fall marathon or next marathon in general, give the 7 Bridges Marathon and 4 Bridges Marathon a try. You will see why I always have such a high rating for the race and event. Hope to see you at the starting line!

Those who know me well, know that I love pumpkin pie. In the fall, I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and never get tired of it. I've always loved eating it, but it was only a few years ago I started making pumpkin pies with my aunt. She has a delicious recipe and so we'd make it all the time from scratch. When I say "from scratch," I really do mean, we buy a pumpkin and we buy some flour and by the end of the day, it's a pie. I wish I could grow the pumpkins and the wheat, but this girl can't be all the kinds of awesome.
A while back, I saw the first pie pumpkins of the season in the store, and I knew it was time. I snatched that pumpkin up so fast and ran home. The result was the pie I will be sharing with you all today!
This post contains affiliate links
To be clear, I'm not one of those people who eat pumpkin pie all year round - though my husband definitely would love that (he likes it even more than me!). However, I do look forward to pumpkin season every year. It makes Fall, well, Fall.
I recommend you use your own puree for this recipe - and pretty much every other pumpkin recipe you bake this season. It adds a richness and sense of accomplishment that opening a can doesn't quite have!
The puree is really simple to make: just cut open and clean your pumpkin, drizzle some olive oil on it and bake in the oven till tender. Then scoop it all out into the food processor and process until very smooth.
I usually freeze the extra puree so that I can have all sorts of pumpkin snacks (not to mention a bonus pumpkin pie sometime in the year!) later.
The best part about this pie is that it comes together quickly, once all the more tedious ingredients (the puree and the crust) are prepared. I didn't include a pie crust recipe, but they are easy to find. For a non-traditional crust, you could use the nutty crust that I use for my chocolate dream pie!
For the non-nut lovers, there is a nut-free version of this recipe too! It takes a little longer to get firm, but is still delicious!
Vegan Pumpkin Pie | Maple Alps
Makes 1 pie
2 C homemade pumpkin puree
¼ C maple syrup (or more depending if you want it sweeter)
¼ C brown sugar
⅓ C almond milk
1-2 TBSP Arrowroot powder
¼ tsp each: cinnamon, ground ginger, cardamom, nutmeg (optional: cloves)
¼ tsp sea salt
¼ cup cashews (soak for 10 min in boiling water)
1 recipe for pie crust - unbaked
1) Make pumpkin puree by cutting open and cleaning your pumpkin. Drizzle some olive oil on it and bake in the oven till tender. Remove from oven, scoop out the flesh into the food processor, and process until very smooth.
2) Prep pie crust
3) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
4) Mix soaked cashews, almond milk, pumpkin puree and arrowroot powder in blender and blend until there are no cashew pieces left.
5) Transfer to a bowl and mix rest of ingredients in well.
6) Put filling into prepped pie crust and bake for 55-60 minutes
How do you like your pumpkin pie? I like mine cold and with some coconut whipped cream!

Minneapolis Bridal Boudoir Outfit Inspiration
What to wear for a bridal boudoir portrait session
About half of my boudoir clients are planning a boudoir session as a gift for themselves, and about half of my clients are doing a boudoir session so that they can give the portraits to a significant other as a gift. A bridal boudoir session is the best of both worlds - you can capture a magical time in your own life, and you can use the portraits as an incredibly romantic wedding gift for your fiance.
Practically speaking, a lot of women collect special accessories for their wedding day and including those in your portraits makes a lovely way to get further use out of those pieces.
When my clients are planning a bridal boudoir session, they'll ask me for advice about how to style their session to feel romantic, elegant, and bridal. Here are my top outfit receommendations!
A white set with your veil and wedding accessories
White is feminine, romantic, and very bridal, so it's an obvious choice for a bridal boudoir outfit. If you're not sure what to choose, go for a romantic style with a matching bralette and lace panties.
I also recommend including other bridal accessories that you have - bring along your wedding jewelry, shoes, veil, garter, or even your wedding dress!
A silky chemise with lace detailing
A chemise is a beautiful way to add variety in to your portraits - they're elegant and stunning in a classic, romantic way; they provide a little more skin coverage while still being really beautiful and sexy, and you can find them in all kinds of fabrics, textures, and colors.
I love chemises that offer something a little special, like the lace details in this one. Solid black is a beautiful choice, but this is also a really lovely place to incorporate your favorite colors, your wedding hues, or a romantic neutral like charcoal or blush.
Your wedding-night lingerie
Many women will shop for something special to bring on their honeymoon, and incorporating that in your bridal boudoir session is incredible! A balconette bra and a cheeky bottom with lace detailing is a beautiful choice.
Those are my favorite styles for bra and underwear sets for boudoir: balconette bras offer some support and shape while still looking natural, and a lot of them have beautiful details (like embroidery or texture) that make them feel more special than an everyday bra. Cheeky bottoms provide a medium amount of coverage and are the most flattering to your curves.

April 2008, Vol. VI, No. 3
What Must a Party Show to Vacate a Default Entered at Mandatory Arbitration? Pursuant to 4:21a-4(f), a party must show both good cause AND a meritorious defense. See SWH Funding Corp. v. Walden Printing Co., Inc., 399 N.J. Super. 1 (App. Div. 2008). In SWH, the Appellate Division found that the defendant's illness was good cause for not attending an arbitration and for not determining the outcome of the arbitration. However, the defendant failed to assert a meritorious defense in its motions papers, which mandated that its motion to vacate be denied. The moral to the story is you gotta read the fine print. When in doubt, read the rules twice!
Is an Affidavit of Merit Required for a Claim Against a Midwife? For those of you who said yes because an Affidavit of Merit is required for claims against nurses and doctors, you are wrong. In Saunders v. Capital Health Systems, 398 N.J. Super. 500 (App. Div. 2008), the Appellate Division held that a midwife is not a "licensed person" within the meaning of the Affidavit of Merit Statute. Right reading of the statute and right result.
Can a Hospital Have a Complaint Dismissed When a Plaintiff Fails to File an Affidavit Merit When the Court Did Not Conduct a Case Management Conference? No. In Saunders v. Capital Health Systems, 398 N.J. Super. 500 (App. Div. 2008), the Appellate Division ruled that under Ferreira v. Rancocas Orthopaedic Assocs., 178 N.J. 144 (2003), trial courts are required to hold a case management conference within 90 days of the filing of an answer in medical malpractice cases. Thus, the panel concluded the plaintiff's inadvertent failure to serve and file an affidavit of merit would have been avoided had the trial court held the mandatory case management conference. The Appellate Division nailed this one, and avoided an unnecessary legal malpractice case against the attorneys for the plaintiff.
Can an Attorney Ask a Jury to Increase Punitive Damages to Deter Others From Conduct Similar to that of the Defendant? For those of you who said sure you can, you will want to reconsider your answer. In Tarr v. Bob Ciasulli's Mack Auto Mall, Inc., 2008 N.J. LEXIS 222, the Supremes affirmed the Appellate Division's ruling that general deterrence is not a factor to be considered when a jury determines the amount of punitive damages to be provided to a prevailing plaintiff. Instead, a jury is to consider only specific deterrence. Interestingly, the Supremes added that the jury may consider the financial condition of the defendant at the time of the wrongful conduct because incertain situations, the financial condition of the defendant at the time of judgment may be zero, i.e., defendant is a company that is sold.
Does a Hockey Arena Have a Duty to Advise Spectators of the Risk of Injury If They Sit Outside the Area Required to Have Safe Seating? The Supremes had a tough time with this one, and in a 4-3 opinion by Justice Rivera-Soto, they answered no. See Sciarrotta v. Global Spectrum, 2008 N.J. LEXIS 314. In Sciarrotta, the plaintiff was the mother of a girl singing the national anthem, and her seat was above the plexiglass and outside the seated area that had netting. During warm-ups, the players were shooting multiple pucks at the net, one went into the crowd, and hit and injured her. This case involves the "limited duty" rule – sporting venues have a duty to provided protected seating for spectators who may reasonably desire same and must provide protection in the most dangerous areas. See Maisonave v. Newark Bears, 185 N.J. 70 (2005); Schneider v. American Hockey & Ice Skating Ctr, Inc. 342 N.J. Super. 527 (App. Div. 2001). In reversing the Appellate Division, the Supremes concluded that the limited-duty rule applies to warm-ups as well as games, and that the rule does not require venues to warn spectators about objects leaving the playing field. The Supremes reasoned that warm-ups are an integral part of the game, and that it would not create different duties based on the number of pucks on the ice. Justice Long, joined by Justices Albin and Wallace, authored a dissent stating that the venue should have posted a sign warning of the dangers of pucks leaving the ice during warm- ups so that the plaintiff could have made an informed decision about where she sat. We must agree with the dissent as the majority opinion fails to consider who is in the best position to protect against an injury – the venue. Here, the cost of a sign is so small in comparison to the potential risk of injury that the venue must bear the cost of the plaintiff's injury. In addition, this case highlights that not all people who attend games are aware of the inherent dangers of attending the event, and therefore, the venue should have been held liable. Finally, this opinion further demonstrates Justice Rivera-Soto's political philosophy of limiting plaintiffs' avenues for recovery and for promoting the interests of businesses.

NICKY Shorey has spoken of his relief at finally getting a run in Martin O'Neill's team – but stopped short of committing his future to Villa.
The former Reading left-back has played the last three games after ending a frustrating five-month exile from Villa's Premier League campaign.
And Shorey has quickly settled back into his stride with encouraging displays against Manchester United, Everton and West Ham.
But after asking manager O'Neill for a transfer during the January window, he is not looking any further ahead than this season.
Asked if he still has a future at Villa Park, Shorey replied: "Who knows? I am just taking it a game at a time. That is not for me to say.
"As long as I am here, I will be working hard and getting my head down and trying to play as best I can.
"If that is good enough for me to be at a club like Villa, then hopefully I will stay.
"I'm delighted just to be playing. That's the bottom line.
"That's the way it is but you are not so when you are not playing. Hopefully it will continue, but who knows?"
Shorey returned for Villa's defeat at Old Trafford earlier this month for his first league game since the November home loss to Middlesbrough.
The England international was restricted to UEFA Cup and FA Cup appearances with O'Neill preferring to use Luke Young on the left.
But Shorey insists his long absence from first-team football has made him stronger and given him more determination to succeed.
And the 28-year-old full-back believes it is only a matter of time before he fully gets to grips with the demands of Premier League football again. "It is nice to be playing," he said. "I haven't played a lot this season. It's just nice to be playing a game but that's just the way it is sometimes. You are not always going to be playing.
"I've not gone four months before without playing a league game. It is a new experience.
"You've got to take every experience as it comes and it will make you stronger.
"When you haven't played for a while, it is going to be tough on your fitness levels but I felt alright the last couple of games and, with a few more, I'll be back up to speed."
Shorey admits dropping another two points against West Ham has probably ended Villa's hopes of qualifying for the Champions League.
"We have put in some good performances of late but have just not got the results and it was the same against West Ham," he added.
"We have got to make sure we try and cut out the sloppy goals.
"It is tough but we will keep on going right to the end."

The use of air conditioners in large cities is increasing. Especially with the advancement of technology, the structure of the air conditioner is getting better heating & cooling . The shape is also more minimalist, so it does not take up a lot of space. Even if it is damaged, the aircon servicing is now more easily contacted. The technological sophistication of disposing of aircon servicing does not want to disappoint its customers. This is an effort to increase sales as well as reputation among fellow air conditioner competitors.
No one knows for sure since when the air conditioner began to be used. But the more densely populated the population, it is certain that more houses will use the air conditioner. There are some opinions that the use of the air conditioner will make things worse. But here we will summarize some of the benefits of using an air conditioner:
– Increase Productivity
With unbearable heat, the aircon will help reduce fatigue associated with heat and stress. With the soothing aircon, it will increase work productivity. Extreme heat can have a negative effect on physical activity and intelligence. Aircon will improve performance by providing a cool and comfortable work environment.
– Improve air quality in the room
Aircon helps significantly improve indoor air quality. Aircon generally can filter dust, pollen, and allergens from other environments. In addition, it will also control the growth of mold and mildew by reducing moisture levels. In areas with poor air quality, aircon can create a clean and healthy atmosphere.
– Protect from heat and dehydration
Excessive heat can cause heat strokes, where the body cannot regulate temperature properly. If not treated immediately, this heat stroke can damage the brain and other vital organs. Aircon can help prevent heat strokes by lowering the air temperature.
– Helps Reduce Asthma and Allergies
Aircon filters and sterilizes the air we breathe, so it can help reduce asthma and allergies by removing dust and pollen – and inhibiting the growth of mold and mildew. Exposure to fungal spores is one of the main factors that can increase the risk of allergic reactions, asthma, and other respiratory problems.

Valuation of Tax Expense
48 Pages Posted: 28 Aug 2013
There are 2 versions of this paper
Valuation of Tax Expense
Date Written: August 26, 2013
As tax expense reflects value lost to taxes paid, it should be negatively associated with value, provided non-tax, value-relevant information is controlled for. However, valuation regressions estimated in prior research — using contemporaneous tax expense and non-tax variables — document substantial variation in the coefficients on tax expense, ranging from significant negative to significant positive values. We show this variation is a) caused by the omission of expected future profitability, b) explained by many factors that cause variation in the correlations among included variables and omitted future profitability. Unfortunately, difficulties associated with separating the impact of individual factors hampers tax research investigating links between tax expense coefficients and specific factors.

Parker F. Enright, a fraternity advisor at the University of Miami, visualized the creation of an organization that would embrace the philosophy of the college fraternity. His visualization became reality when the first chapter of Order of Omega was founded on April 14, 1959 at the University of Miami in Miami, FL. The group functioned locally until a second chapter was chartered on February 9, 1967 at the University of Southern Mississippi under the direction of Dean Patrick W. Halloran. The organization began to develop nationally. Order of Omega became a co-ed organization in the spring of 1977 thus honoring all in Greek leadership. Since then, Order of Omega has proudly established chapters at over 300 campuses.
Chapter History
The Omega Epsilon Chapter of Order of Omega was chartered on November 23, 1998 at Florida State University. Since the establishment of our chapter we have contributed our service, leadership and strength in academics to our campus and the community. We have representation from all four Greek councils at Florida State University, including Greek faculty, and continue to grow stronger with participation in events such as Trick or Treat on Greek Street, Homecoming and Dance Marathon among others.

The Last Magician by Lisa Maxwell
Stop the Magician. Steal the book. Save the future.
In modern-day New York, magic is all but extinct. The remaining few who have an affinity for magic—the Mageus—live in the shadows, hiding who they are. Any Mageus who enters Manhattan becomes trapped by the Brink, a dark energy barrier that confines them to the island. Crossing it means losing their power—and often their lives.
Esta is a talented thief, and she's been raised to steal magical artifacts from the sinister Order that created the Brink. With her innate ability to manipulate time, Esta can pilfer from the past, collecting these artifacts before the Order even realizes she's there. And all of Esta's training has been for one final job: traveling back to 1902 to steal an ancient book containing the secrets of the Order—and the Brink—before the Magician can destroy it and doom the Mageus to a hopeless future.
But Old New York is a dangerous world ruled by ruthless gangs and secret societies, a world where the very air crackles with magic. Nothing is as it seems, including the Magician himself. And for Esta to save her future, she may have to betray everyone in the past.
Gosh, what is it with all of these beautiful covers this year. Almost every new release I have seen so far has a beautiful cover. This one is also mysterious and I love it. I actually thought the synopsis was intriguing.
Especially this line: "Stop the Magician. Steal the book. Save the future"

The meeting of Don Bosco Credit Society
In the year 1973, the management at Don Bosco Matunga initiated the 'Teachers Welfare Fund Scheme' to inculcate in its staff members the habit of saving and to avail of a loan facility which would help them tide over their financial crisis. The next few years, this scheme blossomed and in 1979, it got registered as 'The Don Bosco Credit Society' under the Co-operative Society Act No.942.
Over the years, The Don Bosco Credit Society has kept fruitfully growing. It started off with a membership for teachers only. Today, the membership has widened to include non-teaching staff and house employees too. Each member contributes a fixed amount of their salary every month towards their credit society saving account. This earns them an interest which is also credited in the same account, and also provides opportunity for a loan that can be repaid over a stipulated period of time.
Every year, the society holds its Annual General Body Meeting. At the meeting, the agenda is followed wherein important related issues are discussed. A delicious lunch and a dividend is also a feature of the meeting. This scholastic year the meeting was held on Saturday 4th Aug 2018. Mrs. Christina Mascarenhas welcomed the gathering after which the Rector, Fr. Crispino D'Souza led the congregation into prayer.Mrs. Lakshmi Krishna read the minutes of the meeting held on 2nd Aug 2017 and proposed the items on the agenda. This was followed by the presentation of the balance sheet of the year ending 31.3.2018. Thereafter, Fr. Rector declared the dividend for 2017-18, and following the vote of thanks there was the distribution of the dividend to the members of the Credit Society.

Falconer & Lignugaris/Kraft Video Conferencing with Student Teachers in Remote Locations
Falconer, K. B., & Lignugaris/Kraft, B. (2002). A qualitative analysis of the benefits and limitations of using two-way conferencing technology to supervise preservice teachers in remote locations. Teacher Education an dSpecial Education: The Journal of the Teacher Education Division of the Council for Exceptional Children, 25(4), pp. 368-384.
Summary: The purpose of this qualitative study was to identify the benefits and limitations of a two-way video conferencing technology in supporting the supervision of preservice teachers in rural Utah. The conferencing technology was used to observe preservice teachers and give feedback to them. The technology also offered the capability of cooperating teachers to use a chat function to communicate in real time with the supervisor about the observation without disturbing the students or the preservice teacher. The study used interviews with two practicum students, two student teachers, two cooperating teachers, and one university supervisor as well as field notes from the university supervisor. The participants identified observation benefits, communication benefits, and nature of system benefits. They also identified technical limitations and human factor limitations. Overall, the researchers concluded that the two-way conferencing technology helped the participants meet their individual program needs.
Key Words: technology, remote supervision, supervision in teacher education, supervision of student teachers, student teachers, field experiences, video conferencing, supervisory conferences
Conceptual Framework: None identified
Research Questions: No identified questions, but they did list the purpose as, "The purpose of this investigation was to field-test two way conferencing technology in a rural field-based teacher preparation program (p. 369)."
Supervisor Field notes
Two student teachers
Two practicum teachers
Two cooperating teachers
One paraprofessional
One university supervisor
- Benefits of using this technology included supporting the observations and the conversations about the observations. The participants perceived that the technology was easy to use and was less of a distraction to the students and to the pre-service teacher's authenticity in her practice than a live observation where the supervisor would come in and sit in the back of the room.
- The technology was appropriate for conversations about student work or to give feedback from the observations. The preservice teachers preferred live visits for demonstrations.
"The informants suggested that communication was enhanced in terms of frequency, immediacy, and type of communication (p. 374)."
- Chat functions allowed the cooperating teacher and the university supervisor to communicate in real time during an observation without disrupting the students or the preservice teacher.
- Limitations of using this technology were technical in nature and related to human factors. The technical issues included problems with the technology freezing or having to reboot the system at an inopportune time. The fact that the camera limited the view of the classroom was also a technical issue. Human factor limitations included worries that the technology would be removed if it wasn't used. Participants were also concerned that not many individuals knew how to use the technology.

There are more than 2,700 passages in the Bible containing the words JOY, HAPPINESS, GLADNESS, PLEASURE, CHEER, LAUGHTER, DELIGHT, JUBILATION, FEASTING, JOYFUL and CELEBRATION.
At least 25 different Hebrew words and about 10 different Greek words get used to describe the idea of joy and happiness. If you've ever had a hard time defining biblical joy, now you know why…
What's interesting is that in both the Hebrew and Greek, the concept of happiness and joy are almost always expressed as a NOUN or a VERB, not an adjective. In other words, HAPPINESS and JOY (the terms are used interchangeably in the Hebrew and Greek) are something we DO or something we POSSESS, not something we FEEL.
If you define your level of happiness or joy by the level of your feelings of pleasure about something, you're shot! If your emotions determine your level of joy or happiness, you are sunk. But if HAPPINESS and JOY are something you can EXPRESS and/or CHOOSE through your actions, words, thoughts and intentions, that's a game-changer!
Regardless of what happens to you or around you, your joy and happiness cannot be taken from you!
You were MADE for JOY.
In fact, according to Jesus, the problem with people is not that we experience too much joy, but that we don't experience enough!
Joy isn't about being emotionally or intellectually dishonest, it's affirming the BEST and MOST TRUE things in life.
It doesn't mean you stick your head in the sand as if to say, "I'm fine. We're fine. Everything's fine." It isn't about denying grief, denying reality or faking happiness. It comes from REMINDING YOURSELF about the TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD, the REALITY OF GOD'S LOVE, and the PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT!
The Bible BEGINS with JOY!
Job 38:7 says that when God created this world, "…the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy!" —Job 38:7
The Bible ENDS with JOY!
In the book of Revelation the people of God throughout the ages gather around the throne of God, we lay our crowns at His feet and declare that He is worthy; and, while we worship, God Himself wipes every tear from our eyes, and declares that He is the one who makes all things new!
And IN BETWEEN — the beginning and the eternity — God promises JOY!
In John 15:11, Jesus said, "I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my JOY. Yes, your JOY will overflow!"
Here's my definition for JOY…
Joy is a deep, abiding sense and the confident expectation that God loves me, God is with me, God is for me, and that He is always working everything together for my ultimate good and His great glory!
So, why don't we constantly live this way?
It's the result of SIN and/or SPIRITUAL DRIFT... loss of joy, happiness, contentment, fulfillment and well-being.
…everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard. —Romans 3:23 NLT
But… there's power when you KNOW your problem and your SOLUTION.
Our biggest problem is SIN which means that the SOLUTION to our problem can't come from INSIDE us — because that's where the brokenness is. It's got to come from OUTSIDE us.
The solution is JESUS — who lived the life we could never live, died the death we deserved to die — for our sins, in our place — and was raised again to life so that HIS victory could become OUR victory!
There are all kinds of PROMISES about this in the Bible. Today, these are promises God gave to people -- who, like you and me -- were living in the IN BETWEEN… surrounded by crisis: moral, political, economic, military, social and spiritual.
In that day you will sing: "I will praise you, O LORD! You were angry with me, but not anymore. Now you comfort me. See, God has come to save me. I will trust in him and not be afraid. The LORD GOD is my strength and my song; he has given me victory." With joy you will drink deeply from the fountain of salvation! In that wonderful day you will sing: "Thank the LORD! Praise his name! Tell the nations what he has done. Let them know how mighty he is! Sing to the LORD, for he has done wonderful things. Make known his praise around the world. —Isaiah 12:1-5 NLT
The idea in the Bible is that GOD is FILLED with HAPPINESS and JOY and wants YOU to EXPERIENCE JOY and HAPPINESS.
C.S. Lewis put it like this: "Joy is the serious business of heaven."
So, get SERIOUS about the business of HEAVEN… get SERIOUS about JOY.

A 2018 graduate of Pepperell High School is among a group of Samford University School of the Arts students headed to Iasi, Romania, on a 13-day mission with a single goal: "Influence the community and freedom in the arts." They call themselves We Are Art and have a very active Facebook page that has chronicled their efforts to head overseas, including vital fundraising.
Among them is Baleigh Nelson, who is listed as "Assistant Stage Manager- that is her title/responsibility for the production that the children in Romania will perform," says her mother, Lisa. "She will be acting in the lead role of the show that the Samford students will perform." They are working with the Wurmbrand School, one of a handful of Christian schools in the country. The play is an original work, by the way. (Please see Baleigh's profile below)
Here's what the students say about themselves and their travels:
"We are a group of Samford School of the Arts students being led on this opportunity to spread the magic and freedom of the arts through theatre by Technical Theatre major, Xanthia McCaul. This trip will serve as Xanthia's senior capstone. Our mission: deliver not only a wonderful theatrical experience to the high schoolers of Iasi, Romania, but to also open new doors for the school and the community to explore the freedom that lies within the arts."

MID-table Consett did leaders Whitley Bay a good turn when they held Penrith to a draw in the Skilltrainingltd Northern League First Division game at Belle Vue Park last night.
Victory would have enabled Penrith to leap-frog the Seahorses but they were grateful to return to Cumbria with just one point.
Consett led by two goals until the 86th minute when Wayne Robertson threw Penrith a lifeline, beating goalkeeper Daniel Staples from close range.
Even so, it appeared the Steelmen would claim all three points, but deep into stoppage time Robertson equalised from a corner.
Adam Emson had given Consett an early lead when he cleverly lobbed goalkeeper Andrew Wills, and midway during the second period he was again on target, latching on to a long clearance and delivering a clinical finish.
Bedlington Terriers moved into fourth place with victory at Norton and Stockton Ancients, where the only goal was scored by Lee Ludlow in the 53rd minute. He was played in by Ben Christensen and made no mistake from near the goal line.
Esh Winning are still without a win and suffered their seventh defeat in nine games as Shildon finished 2-1 winners with goals by Andy Johnson and Chris Bell.
Esh goalkeeper Danny Molyneux fell awkwardly and injured his shoulder in the 35th minute. Jamie Dawson took over and denied Shildon, who conceded a late consolation goal to Shaun Gregory.
Crook Town went out of the Ernest Armstrong Memorial Cup to Newton Aycliffe, whose marksmen were Anthony Dawes and Anthony Campbell. Adam Nichol had levelled for the Millfield side.

Paul begins his letter to the Philippian Church with his typical introduction and greeting. At first glance, Paul's greetings may seem insignificant to understanding his letters, but they actually form the foundation for understanding his writings. Verses one and two of the first chapter read, "Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus: To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, including the overseers and deacons. Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ."
Paul identifies himself and the Timothy as servants of Christ Jesus. The word servant carries within itself two different connotations that have one meaning that was important for the Philippian believers to understand, and is still important for us today.
The first connotation that the word servant carries that is important for us to understand its meaning in the Old Testament. In the Old Testament, the word servant was a term of honor given to those chosen to lead God's people. Men such as Abraham (Gen 26:24), Moses (Ex 14:31; Deut 34:5), David (2 Sam 7:5, 8), and Isaiah (Is 20:3) were called servants of the Lord as they walked with God to carry out the responsibility of leading his people to freedom, in battle, and in building.
The second connotation is the meaning it carried at the time of Paul's writing. The Greek word that Paul uses for "servant" is the word doulos, which is literally translated 'slave'. A slave, during Paul's time, belonged to the lowest class of people in society. Slaves had no rights or privileges except what was granted to them by their masters. All ambition and self-interest had to be extinguished. EVERYTHING about slaves was related to their master, even their identity. So instead of being a term of honor and responsibility, like it was in the Old Testament, it was a term of humility as it identified a person as a slave owned and bought, by their master.
All believers today are servants of the Lord. It is necessary for us to see our role as servants as both an honor and with a sense of humility. It is an honor to serve God because he's God. He created everything from nothing. He has the power to bring kings and nations to nothing. He is sovereignly in control over all things. God speaks a word and things are created. God speaks a word and things are destroyed. God has power over nature, life, and death. Even Satan cannot do anything unless he has permission from God. God stands above all creation and he knows creation. God calls the stars by name and he counts every grain of sand. God is bigger than anything we can imagine. Knowledge of God is eternal; therefore we will never stop learning about God. God is good, righteous, just, eternal, all knowing, all powerful, and there is nowhere in all of creation that we could ever possibly go where he is not. It is an honor to follow God because he is God, the greatest, most gracious, most powerful being in all the universe.
We should be humbled in our service to God both because he's God, and because of what he has done in order for us to serve him. Please note in verse 1 that Paul doesn't say, "Paul and Timothy, saved by Christ Jesus," he says, "Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus." The good news of the gospel is not just that we have been saved from the eternal wrath of God and brought into an eternal relationship with God, but also that we have been given an eternal purpose. Jesus stood in our place and took on the wrath of God so that we wouldn't have to. The good news of the Gospel is that we don't have to work for our salvation and that we are re-created to be workers for God. As Ephesians 2:8-10 says, "For you are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God's gift—not from works, so that no one can boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time for us to do." We should be humbled in our service to God because he has given us grace, which is unearned favor, by sending Jesus to the cross instead of us. We could do nothing to earn it, and we can do nothing to lose it. Our faith in what Jesus has done is what saves us, but it is not what sustains our salvation. Our salvation is sustained by the precious blood spilled by Jesus on the cross. And though we are not saved by works, we are saved for work. Not just any work, but good work. We are recreated in order to do work that God has already prepared (and we might add given us victory in) for us. Our responsibility as we identify as servants of Christ Jesus is to simply walk in what God has prepared for us.
