The Future of Digital Marketing in Telecom Isn't Customer-Centric, It's Software-Centric
Now, at first glance you may be thinking, 'the future of digital marketing is software-centric!? No way, this is 2018, the age of customer-centric digital marketing strategies and unique, personalized branding that's built to strengthen the relationship between the consumer and a brand.'
Well, if you're up in arms about the title of the blog, please let me state my case, and I hope it will make more sense.
Unfortunately, the telecom industry is extremely complicated. Every digital marketer and executive that's spent any time striving for success within this industry will be the first to tell you that. The reason being, as fast as technology has evolved in the last five years, the telecommunications industry has to move even more quickly to stay ahead of the game. In all honesty, they fuel the game.
Because of this increase in technology, we as humans have evolved as consumers. Three major factors have massively influenced this transformation.
Now, like giving a child a taste of candy, these telecommunications companies have given us, the consumers, a small sample of the speed and ease of a mobile generation; and like always, once humanity becomes accustomed to something we want more.
This sneak peek leads me to the theory that marketers need to embody software-centric digital marketing strategies for this evolution to come to fruition.
For digital marketers within the telecom industry to continue to improve their customer-centric digital marketing strategies, these marketers continuously have to study big data and then find a way to organize it, make sense of it, and use it to speak to a specific audience.
This is not an easy task for digital marketers to complete on their own; there's just too much information for humans to process and too many hands in the pot at the same time. That's where marketers are looking for help from A.I. technology, the Internet of Things (IoT), and blockchain technology to make this dream of perfecting the user journey a reality.
How Telecom Organizations Are Using Software-Centric Strategies To Make Their Brand More Customer-Centric:
- Customer service chatbots: A.I. technologies will allow providers to improve their communication on customer service inquiries and give the call centers more detailed information so they can route customers to the proper customer service agent or directly to salespeople.
- Voice search capabilities: A.I. technologies will allow customers to explore or purchase media content by spoken word rather than remote control, seamlessly improving the customer experience.
- Predictive maintenance: A.I. technologies will give companies the ability to fix problems with telecom hardware (such as cell towers) before they happen by detecting signals that usually lead to failure.
The craze that's surrounding data science and big data may as well be considered the oil or gold rush of our millennial age. Even Rob Roy, the chief digital officer at Sprint would agree:
"We believe data is our oil, our gold, but having hundreds of millions of terabytes of data that isn't actionable really does nothing for me."
If digital marketers within the telecom industry wish to improve their customers' lives, they have to collect what users are searching for in search engines, study their website's analytics, and be able to seamlessly bridge the gap between the customer's desktop experience, the mobile experience, the retail experience, and the call center experience.
These are no longer separate parts of the sales and marketing journey. They all fit together now.
This holistic view explains why digital marketers have to become increasingly software-centric to improve our customers' lives. Even Google studies show telecommunication companies need to be software-centric to produce a successful advertising strategy.
To accomplish this task, A.I. systems are necessary to gather the data and present it in a way that's digestible to many different teams within a telecom organization.
For telecommunications companies to perfect the customer-centric process and genuinely personalize their messaging and marketing strategies, they need to focus on machine learning systems to aid marketers in getting the brand-to-customer communication right.
This is where the successful telecommunication companies have to pivot their focus.
Since the beginning, telecom industries have fueled human-to-human communication. Companies like AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint would provide a phone or internet service to consumers or businesses, and everyone would go on their way.
Tuesday's announcement of the AT&T and Time Warner merger shows it's not the same these days. Telecommunications companies have had to transform themselves as brands because they're not just phone or internet companies anymore. They're also entertainment organizations as well as data organizations that are responsible for fueling the enormous surge of people watching online content and relentlessly searching the internet for education, answers, or products and services.
Technology has given way to a new, evolved customer, which gave way to a newly evolved telecommunications industry that's trying to evolve with machine learning so it can continue to serve the evolved customer.
When these companies can successfully organize and act on their compiled data, it allows all digital marketers, SEO specialists, and paid search managers to do three things:
Every Telecom Company Must Understand the Customer "In the Moment"
Going back to Rob Roy's quote from earlier, compiling massive amounts data is terrific, but if your corporation doesn't know how and when to act on that customer data and present the right customer with the right message at the right time, then that data is as useless as subtitles in a silent movie.
A platform like Google has millions of users performing millions of searches every day. There's no better way to get to know who your customers are and what they care about than studying what they are asking Google or Bing.
If major telecom brands can use machine learning to digest the essential questions, deduct their customers' "jobs-to-be-done," and then strategize their sales and marketing efforts around their customers' pain points, they're sure to elevate the user experience while creating a generation of brand-loyal consumers.
Telecom providers must quickly understand that a successful digital marketing strategy in this industry is not about how you can gain more leads and potential customers. It's about organically creating a relationship in which your organization provides real, tangible value to your customers.
The video below, from David Gibbon, lead Inventive Scientist at AT&T does a great job of describing how they're utilizing A.I. to improve the customer experience.
Telecom Companies Have Transformed the Customer, and Now the Customer Is Transforming Them
Over the last few years, customers have been introduced to incredibly personalized, tailor-made digital experiences from innovative brands.
This has allowed the customer to become incredibly independent in their choices in where they shop, what they watch, how they educate themselves, and what information they want to share. It's made them more demanding, more impatient, and ultimately more important than ever before. Now, the same consumers are demanding an identical seamless user experience across the telecom industry, and rightfully so.
A strategic way for marketers to accomplish this feat is to implement cost-effective and specific communication strategies that:
- Tap into the customer's pain points
- Attract their inner desires
- Demonstrate differences between brands
- Utilize visual metaphors
- Connect to their emotions
If marketers in the telecom industry are going to deliver content, it better be focused on the person you're sending it to; but most importantly, it has to help them complete their "jobs-to-be-done" with as little strife as possible. Because in our "buy it now" and "near me" mobile generation, any friction in the purchase or user process will end in customer abandonment.
They must try to innovate for the future of personal devices like wearable and automated technologies.
Telecom Executives Must Break Down the Barriers in Their Organizations
There is no quicker way to fail at innovation in the telecom industry than to segregate your company and its employees.
The ability for these organizations to gather data and share it with all necessary teams is essential to success.
But, in a company that has 20,000 + employees, it can be challenging to instill a transparent communication strategy. These gaps between your sales teams, marketing teams, creative teams, data engineers, and executives are what cause poorly organized and ineffective marketing strategies.
If your organization is still working in the old school "silo" thought process, where each department works separately in their own world, then be prepared to put in some time and effort.
Prominent organizations need to break down the walls dividing teams to understand their data and the decisions they must make if they want to innovate for success.
As our customer begins to span several different parts of the customer journey, from online to offline, telecom companies must switch their marketing and communication strategies around those shifts. They need daily inter-organizational conversations discussing the data they're researching and acting upon with a clear goal as to what they want to accomplish with that data.
Last year, Sprint decided to partner with Google in attempts to measure the customer metrics and touch points they find valuable.
- Store visits
- Sales
- Customer Service
When the pillars of their organization were broken down, it allowed them to discover the fact that targeted search ads would be an effective digital strategy to promote an influx of in-store purchases.
Well, it proved to be successful because Sprint saw a 32% increase in in-store sales and a 26% increase in digital sales driven by search. These insights may have never been discovered if it weren't for some innovative thinking in how our organizations share the data we're mining.
Telecom Companies Must Focus on Relevant & Empathetic Content
For your audience, customer experience is everything. If your marketing, sales, and data teams are truly working in unison, then they'll be able to successfully strategize efficient and effective communication and paid media strategies to reach the right customer with the right message at the right time. That's the goal.
Telecom companies must place an enormous amount of focus on perfecting mobile experiences for the customer, whether it's the ability to watch their favorite show on their iPhone from the comfort of their couch or get full cell service in the middle of the Mojave desert, it's all vital for success.
In addition to mobile, they must also try to innovate for the future of personal technology like wearable devices and automated instruments.
The big 5, well, technically now the big 4: AT&T, Comcast, Verizon, Sprint & T-Mobile all essentially control a vast majority of everything that every person sees on their phone, their computer, their TV, or their tablet device.
For the customer relationship to improve and grow with these telecom organizations, they're having to innovate their internet speeds and wireless capabilities to 5G, while strategizing how they can also own and distribute the in-demand content to their customer base.
Take AT&T for example. The merger that was approved on June 14, 2018 just completely disrupted the whole telecom landscape in an attempt to cut out the middle-man between their internet services and the television and entertainment providers.
AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson is quoted as saying…
"Turner has an amazing inventory of advertising that they just kind of sell broadly. It's not a very targeted advertising approach. AT&T has an amazing amount of data — customer data for 40 million pay TV subscribers in North and South America, 130 million mobile subscribers, 16 million broadband subscribers. We have really great customer insight on what kind of shows and media content they're viewing, where they are, all kinds of information on the consumer. Can you pair a very formidable ad inventory with a very formidable amount of data and information on the customer — viewership data and all kinds of other information — and can you create something unique just from a straight advertising platform and change how you're monetizing content?"
What This Means for Telecom Organizations
The future of the telecom industry lies within the ability to engage with your audience regularly. To achieve this feat, we're going to see major telecom companies attempting to produce their version of a social media advertising platform like Facebook or Instagram, and they'll all begin to partner with entertainment studios to seamlessly create and deliver their own content.
They already have the users and the data, now the only thing they need to deliver is the actual platforms.
Telecom Organizations Need To Implement These Tactics Into Their Marketing:
- Optimize their experience for mobile
- Increase communication channels
- Produce empathetic customer experiences
- Speak to a narrower, more exact audience
- Utilize word of mouth
The purpose of any piece of information, whether it's an ad, a blog post, a case study, or a Facebook video, is to improve your customer's life and provide value.
Now, with the introduction of 5G technology, blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), and the entertainment and studio mergers, we're seeing enormous amounts of data being communicated between machines which will eventually lead to improved customer experiences, advanced preventative technologies, and more personalized messaging.
To Sum Up The Software-Centric Approach Towards Improving The Customer-Centric Strategy
Put the Mobile Experience First
- Enchant your customer and continuously add value to their life. Every marketer within Telecom must deliver a fast, relevant, and assistive experience to every consumer. It's essential for your customer journey to provide incredible mobile browsing and streaming experiences.
- Make their experience smooth and seamless, so they're not overwhelmed by making a decision.
Properly Use Your Data & Analytics
- The top telecom companies are using A.I. technologies to gain a better understanding of their consumers. When you combine that data with smart automation processes, this enables mass customer personalization. The ability to connect that data to your brand's media execution is paramount to success.
- Play into the research-obsessed customer and find ways to assist their journey and make them a part of your brand family.
Make Your Customer Communication Omni-channel
- If your telecom organization is going to succeed, you have to bridge your customer's online and offline experiences, delivering a seamless journey from the first search to the education process to the purchase decision.
- Find transparent and empathetic ways your customers can tell you what's important to them, so your organization can evolve for the future.

First, let me start off by saying that I am very excited to be participating in Armchair BEA this year. Since this is the first day of the weeklong event, here are my answers to the interview questions:
I'm from Hawaii and I hate the beach, too. Surprising, but a lot of people in Hawaii never go to the beach. For me, I hate the sun, the way salt water feels a little slimy, and sand. Oh, I hate sand- I used to scream if any got on me when I was a kid. They used to have to rinse me off in the ocean- away from the zone where the waves break and sand gets stirred up- carry me over the water and into the car. Eventually, people got sick of dragging me to the beach. I'm more of a library/book store kind of girl.ReplyDelete
And I'm following your blog. Hope you get up to your 800 follower goal soon.ReplyDelete
Ah, you are the kind of teacher my kids adored! My youngest, in particular, was a late reader but when he got going, his comprehension was amazing and his reading speed shocking. He had a few teachers who understood and fed his reading compulsion. They were so precious to us!!ReplyDelete
I just marked down the title of your favorite read for the year. It sounds terrific.
I'm nowhere near a beach but I prefer mountains and I'm way the heck too pale to be living in the Deep South.

That's a fun reason to start a blog! Enjoy Armchair BEA.ReplyDelete
Awe, what a great reason to start blogging! :D I love that you can direct your students to your blog so that they can look up books! That's such a wonderful idea, and I could definitely see how easy it would be to lose 5 minutes every class talking about books. :)ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing a bit about yourself, and I'm glad to see you "at" Armchair BEA, too! :D

I love the reason why you started blogging and it's great that you still enjoy it. And it's also great that your students appreciate it.ReplyDelete

Hope you have a great week!
OMG! How freaking awesome that you use your blog to assist with teaching your students and spreading the love of reading. Brilliant!ReplyDelete
I think an underwater location would be pretty cool too. I have 2 boys too so I can relate to the hectic life!ReplyDelete

I hope you have a great ArmchairBEA week and thanks for stopping by!
What a cool reason to start blogging! Also, what a pretty blogging template :-) I just finished a great fairy tale retelling, Ella Enchanted. So I'll have to look out for Hero's Guide, too.ReplyDelete
I'm trembling in my slippers! Domestic diva, I am emphatically not. I like the sound of A Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom. I'll keep an eye out for it!ReplyDelete
A Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom is definitely on my to-read list! It just sounds so funny, and I'm always up for some good humor. :)ReplyDelete
I love mermaids, too! I think blogging and teaching are a natural fit, and I'm sure your students love it. I read a lot of young adult fiction, and my older granddaughter is starting middle school next year, so I look forward to reading your blog.ReplyDelete
This may be the most awesome reason EVER to start a book blog. Seriously, I just love it! I hope that you have lots of fun participating in Armchair BEA this week :)ReplyDelete
When I was in middle school we had an long-term substitute (the full-time teacher was put on leave... long story) whose dream was to be a pro golfer. At the beginning of every class someone would ask him about golf and there went the whole hour. I really think listening to math problems would have been more interesting. :p Sadly, I never had any teachers who would talk for an hour about books.ReplyDelete
It's lovely to meet you and I hope you have fun during Armchair BEA!
I'm in love with your blog title. I usually end up reading with my iphone flashlight app next to the hubs!ReplyDelete
I love that you include your students into your blog.
Thanks for stopping by!
HERO'S GUIDE, hooray! I'm sad more kids aren't buying it just yet! I'm super excited about the movie and hope it will really happen! I don't know if I would want to sit down at your dinner table...I might get unwound! Mermaids, yes!!! Did you figure out what you want to do for Splash? Shoot me an email :)ReplyDelete
I also taught middle school language arts for several years and then was forced to retire early at age 49 to go on disability. I love love love your blogging for books for your students! awesome!ReplyDelete
I love mermaids too! An underwater location would be perfect as long as I got a set of fins too :)ReplyDelete
Great choice with mermaids. And I agree with not wanting to hang with Sara Porter's mermaids... might not last long. LOLReplyDelete

Membranous nephropathy (MN) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the glomeruli which is characterised by subepithelial in situ deposition of immune complexes at the glomerular basement membrane (see figure). For this reason it is also known as membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN).1,2 The deposition of complexes results in a dysfunctional permeability of the capillary walls of the glomeruli, leading to proteinuria and very frequently to nephrotic syndrome. Besides the highly increased protein secretion in the urine (>3.5 g/24 h), the latter is also characterised by a reduced concentration of protein in the blood (hypoproteinaemia), an increased concentration of blood lipids (hyperlipidaemia) and oedema.3
Around 20-30 % of MN cases are of a secondary form and arise as a result of a different underlying disease or drug therapy.4,5,6 They must be differentiated from primary MN, for which an underlying secondary disease has not been found. In 2009, autoantibodies against phospholipase A2 receptors (anti-PLA2R) were found in around 70 % of primary MN patients.7 Since then it has been possible to differentiate between anti-PLA2R positive and idiopathic cases (without detectable autoantibodies and underlying secondary disease) (see table). This nomenclature, however, is not used in all of the literature and many patients who are positive for anti-PLA2R are misleadingly called idiopathic.5
|Primary MN
|KDIGO: "Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcome"
|Secondary MN (for a complete list see KDIGO6)
Since different diagnostic procedures and therapies are applied to the two forms of disease, the differentiation between primary and secondary MN is of major clinical importance.6 While therapy in secondary MN is aimed at the underlying disease, patients with primary MN are mainly treated with an immunosuppressive therapy. Correct and fast diagnosis can therefore help to avoid unnecessary medication and extensive diagnostic procedures.

By the time you read this, you likely would have watched the latest Democratic presidential debate in Milwaukee. Or at least watched some clips, or heard some reviews. The consensus seems to be that the debate is unlikely to change many voters' minds on which candidate they support.
Lately, I've been getting questions about where I stand with Hillary vs. Bernie. Mostly because I have been pretty quiet about this. It's a sensitive topic for me, as I know it is for many women.
In 2008, while I wanted to stand with Hillary, I could not. I felt that she was running her campaign "like a man," and therefore I felt betrayed, unhopeful and uninspired by her. While I would have loved to support a Democratic woman candidate with a strong record on supporting women's rights, like Hillary, I felt that the dilution of her feminine voice and her decision to try and emulate a masculine "Commander in Chief" was an insult to us as women. Therefore, I could not support her candidacy.
I voted for Barack Obama in 2008.
I felt that his vision for change and his message of hope were inspiring, and that he embodied the kind of leadership I was looking for. Authentic leadership -- honoring the masculine and the feminine, and the civil rights of all people.
He didn't feel "old school" to me, like Hillary did at at the time.
He felt fresh. A new paradigm leader.
Last year, just before Hillary announced her candidacy for U.S. President, I went up to Silicon Valley to hear her speak at a women's leadership conference. Admittedly, I went with the motivation to be "won over" by her so that I could support her this time around.
I was very pleased and inspired by her as Secretary of State and the stance she took for the advancement of women and girls the world over. I figured we had evolved so much since 2008 in terms of bringing the conversation of women's and girls' rights to the forefront, and allowing women to be women in leadership, as opposed to women trying to imitate and "be accepted" by men.
Because of this, I assumed that Hillary would be at ease and outspoken about things like gender income inequality, violence against women, the ridiculous absence of paid family leave in the workplace, lack of quality, affordable daycare, women's reproductive rights, and the overall rampant gender discrimination in our culture.
While she spoke on these things to a degree, it still felt like she was holding back. There was a passion missing. An authenticity missing. Her speech felt "vanilla" to me.
I was disappointed, to say the least.
In fact, this entire experience threw me for a loop for quite some time.
To process it, I wrote about it here on The Huffington Post.
That helped. Writing always helps.
But there was still something deeper I needed to dig into.
And so I did.
What I discovered is that instead of shaming Hillary for not being who I want her to be, I found a deeper layer of compassion for her.
I found myself feeling her struggle of trying to make it in a "man's world" to be where she is today. I found myself seeing her as the archetypal woman of her generation rising into leadership in a male paradigm. I felt the pain of that. I felt the struggle. And I felt the sacrifices she has made.
In many ways, she had to give up her authentic self.
Although a lifelong feminist, Hillary had to bury "the feminine" within her.
And it was at that point that I made a vow that I would stand with her in this election -- no matter the ambiguity she presents at times, no matter the seeming lack of authenticity, no matter the frustration this brings me. I would stand with her.
Why, you may ask?
Because I believe that electing Hillary Clinton president of the United States will have a global impact like we have never seen before. It will start slowly. But there will be a ripple effect.
Women and girls will start to remember themselves as leaders.
Women and girls will no longer measure themselves against a male norm that they will never live up to, because, to put it simply, they are not men.
With a woman (who stands for women) at the helm of our country, women and girls will feel more confident and entitled to be in leadership, no matter whether it's in the classroom, in the boardroom, or on Capitol Hill.
You might think this is all a bit of magical thinking, and I'll give you that -- maybe it is. It is, however, how I feel about the situation.
Do I think a woman leader can save the world?
I think many women leaders can save the world.
As I have often shared, I believe that when we balance the masculine with the feminine both within ourselves, and within our worldly leadership, many of the world's ills will be resolved.
This includes income inequality, gender discrimination, racial discrimination, violence (esp. violence against women women and girls), gun control, global warming, pollution of our food chain, corruption in the criminal justice system, lack of access to education, war, poverty, and basic civil rights abuses -- to name a few.
And why do I think Hillary Clinton is so important to this formula?
Hillary Clinton holds the projection of so many of our issues around "women" and "women in leadership," and she's had the endurance to take this on. It's a huge job.
I believe she is clearing the karma for all of us.
She is helping to un-lodge the shadow material around the feminine and bring it into the light of day for healing.
As vitriolic as it can be out there for her, she's still standing, and she's still going for it!
This is a woman I admire.
Hillary Clinton has my vote.
And while I admire Bernie too, and agree with much of his platform, I've already committed to my candidate.
And so it is.

Water users in Victoria's north-west are set to receive upgraded drinking water suppliers, with the connection of the south-west Loddon pipeline to several Coliban Water treatment plants.
Water Minister Lisa Neville said the Korong Vale, Bridgewater and Laanecoorie water treatment plants would be connected as pipeline works progress northwest of Bendigo.
"The southwest Loddon Pipeline project will help to reduce demand on the Loddon River system while providing local communities with a more reliable and healthy water supply," Ms Neville said.
"The region has been challenged by climate extremes over the past two decades, and projects like this are helping place communities and farmers in a better position to deal with ongoing dry conditions."
She said some towns would transition to the new water source this year, with the rest moving over progressively in the next three years.
The connection would mean water users in Bridgewater, Inglewood, Korong Vale, Wedderburn, Laanecoorie, Dunolly, Tarnagulla and Bealiba would receive an improved and more reliable drinking water supply, with reduced organics and salinity levels.
It would also reduce water quality fluctuations seen with the current supply source.
The State government had contributed $40 million to the $80.6 million project, with Coliban Water continuing to work with construction manager Grampians Wimmera Mallee Water (GWMWater) to facilitate the connections.
When complete, the project would service 260 rural farming enterprises and 370 lifestyle properties over an area of 2,900 square kilometres, without a reticulated water supply.
A secure water supply to the south west Loddon area would deliver economic benefits by supporting activity and employment in the farming and intensive livestock sectors.
It would also reduce the current reliance on water carting and sustain the agricultural sector that underpinned the viability of the region.
The new water would be supplied from both the Goulburn and Grampians systems, via the South West Loddon and Wimmera Mallee Pipelines.
The construction of the south-west Loddon Pipeline is expected to be completed in the second half of 2019.

Well, I Guess We Can Check Modeling Off The List...
So the other day, I took Sage and her brother Hawk on a walk. (No this post will not be in the form of a poem...) It was a beautiful morning and I just let Sage walk herself as I normally do! Sage is NOT the kind of dog that just trots calmly beside you as you leisurely stroll along the walking trail. Quite the contrary! I would say Sage runs 6x as far as I walk on any given "walk." This works great for me and it frees me up to take my camera along in case there are any strange happenings along the way.
Well, near the end of the walk Sage disappeared for a moment which may seem a little strange...however this is what our walk usually looks like...can you spot Sage?
So, this was not unusual, however when I whistled and called her name I didn't hear any rustling in the grass or splashing of water indicating that she was near and this was very unusual. I managed to stay pretty calm and finally Sage emerged from the tall grass. As she came closer I noticed that her tongue was completely red with blood!
(Now you see why I always...or almost always...have a camera handy!) When Sage was close enough to me to see her face, I noticed that there were two pretty deep cuts on the outside of her snout. One was a circular puncture wound while the other was a half-circle slice that went almost all the way through her lip. Both were pretty deep.
Once we got home I cleaned both wounds with betadine and caked on the neosporin. Both were tough tasks since Sage thought I was cleaning her ears (the one grooming procedure where she is totally uncooperative) and since the cuts are in tongue-reach!
Later that day I took Sage to the vet to make sure no stitches were needed, and although stitches would have helped close the wound, Sage's snout, as well as her whiskers, would have needed to be shaved. The vet told me the choice was mine and that if I chose not to go with the stitches, Sage would probably have some "cosmetic defects." Unfortunately for Sage's modeling career, I declined.
After a week, the half-circle slice healed up very nicely and is barely visible. However, as you can see, the puncture wound is giving us some trouble...but her hair is growing back so I'll be interested to see if her battle wound sticks around.
That's all for now!! Oh ya, and I still have no idea how she sliced up her face!?

Summer is fast approaching, and nobody wants to spend hours in a hot kitchen when the weather is sunny and warm. Jody Brimacombe shares her carrot cake mug cake recipe to satisfy your cravings in under five minutes. (PS: it's vegan!)
(Photographer: Jody Brimacombe)
You know how Superman's weakness is kryptonite? Well, if I became a superhero, my weakness would be mug cakes. No joke. I can't get enough of them, especially going into exam season. There's nothing that motivates me to memorize quotes from Renaissance poetry better than a cake that can be thrown together in two minutes in my microwave. Talk about convenient.
This carrot cake mug cake is like Easter in a cup. The savoury blend of cinnamon, ginger, and sultanas honestly makes me feel like I'm digging into a hot cross bun. Plus, the shredded carrot locks in moisture, so you get a dense sponge. Mmm.
Serves One
- ¼ cup buckwheat flour
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp ginger
- 3 Tbsp almond milk
- 1 Tbsp oil
- 2 ½ Tbsp carrot, shredded
- 2 pecans, chopped
- 1/2 Tbsp sultanas
- dollop of vegan cream cheese
- In a mug, mix together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and spices.
- Mix in the almond milk and oil. Stir until there are no clumps remaining in the batter.
- Fold in the shredded carrot, pecans, and sultanas.
- Microwave on high for 1 ½ minutes.
- Top with vegan cream cheese and enjoy!
This carrot cake mug cake is completely vegan, tasty, and pretty dang healthy — it clocks in at only 276 calories per serving. If you want to make it even healthier, you can swap out the oil for applesauce.

The tyranny of Christmas – that's what Mike was thinking as he crossed Main Street against the light. Once upon a time, just last week, he'd lived in New York, where the December
extravaganza was all about commerce, but where there were also plenty of dreidels and latkes to balance things out. Here in the middle of fucking nowhere Wisconsin, even the Chinese restaurants had signs saying they'd be closed for Christmas.
Last Friday, as his sister helped him load the last of his crap into a van, she'd asked him why he'd agreed to move into the wilderness. He'd made a lame joke about the diaspora but really, what was he doing? This town wasn't exactly a mecca for gay Jews. So far it looked like Mike was the only one of either group. He sure hoped the job he'd come for was worth it.
And here he was, going into a big box store the week before Christmas. No matter where you lived, that was a crazy thing to do. But the new apartment needed stuff. With any luck, he'd be in and out in ten.
"Ho, ho, ho. Merry Christmas."
Mike jumped as a guy in a Santa suit boomed it out behind him.
Mike scowled at him, but the guy, who had very nice blue eyes under all that fake beard, just winked. "What do you want for Christmas, little boy?"
Mike stopped. Was Santa flirting with him? He peered at Santa, trying to see the man behind the costume. Despite the padding, the red suit and the fake hair, there was something very appealing about the guy.
But come on, it was Santa. Mike squared his shoulders. "The Salvation Army has a history of homophobia."
"What can you do?" Santa shrugged. "It's a small town."
"Not really into Christmas." Mike turned away.
"So happy holidays," Santa called.
Mike held up his hand in what he hoped was a cool, over the shoulder wave then went off in search of light bulbs, laundry soap and floor cleaner.
On the way out, Mike was disappointed to find a woman in a deep purple parka standing by the red Salvation Army bucket. It was those eyes, he decided – lapis blue with little laugh lines around them. This Santa wasn't an old man, but he wasn't twenty either, maybe fifteen years older than Mike, a thought that definitely clanged his daddy-kink bell.
Mike's shoulders ached. He stood and stretched. Enough with the cleaning and unpacking, he needed to get something to eat. No use looking in the refrigerator. If there was anything there it had been left by the last tenant and Mike didn't want to open it up to check.
He slid on his jacket, grabbed his keys and headed out to see if anything was open at ten on a Sunday night. This wasn't the land of twenty four hour take-out, but hopefully that didn't mean he'd be stuck with a gas station hot dog.
As Mike drove through the quiet streets, he had to admit the lights were pretty against the snow. The neighborhood looked like a Christmas card, twinkly and cheesy and sort of appealing.
He almost didn't see the restaurant. A converted Victorian with a small sign out front – Vitolli's pizzeria. It didn't look like any kind of pizza place Mike had ever seen. The yard was meticulously landscaped and fairy lights lined the windows. Old fashioned blue, red and orange lights had transformed the giant pine by the doorway into a Christmas tree.
It was too classy looking to be open this late on a Sunday in a small town, so Mike almost drove on by. But then he spotted the electric menorah in the window with five bulbs glowing, the same number of candles that would have shown from Mike's window if he'd managed to get the menorah unpacked. Above the candles, hung a hand lettered sign saying simply, "open".
Mike parked and climbed out of his car, feeling a little like a moth drawn to the Hanukkah not-flames-but-bulbs. The image was amplified when a blast of hot, delicious air hit him as he opened the door.
The place was empty. Mike kicked snow from his boots but kept his jacket on. "Hello?"
A man stepped out from the back. At the sight of him, Mike straightened his shoulders. He resisted the impulse to run fingers through his hair to try to tame the curls.
The man smiled. "Well, hello there."
Mike tried not to stare. The man had dark hair with just a little gray at the temples. His skin was weathered, his features rugged and his body looked lean and fit under his long, white apron.
"Um, are you still open?" Mike shifted on his feet, trying to place what was so familiar about this guy's face.
"I can be." The man patted the bar in front of him. "Sit here and we'll talk while I cook." His eyes twinkled.
Mike sat. It was the eyes, that color.
"Excuse me, but Santa?" He stuttered.
The guy laughed. "For someone who's not into Christmas, you're very observant."
"So are you. I can't believe you remember me." Mike stuck out his hand. "Mike Greenberg."
"Ephraim Vittoli. It isn't every day that a handsome stranger comes to town and insults the Salvation Army. Although I gotta say it's refreshing to know someone cares about homophobia." His hand was warm in Mike's. Mike didn't want to let go.
When he finally did, his hand tingled with the memory. He stuck it in his jacket pocket. Two days in town and he was hitting on Santa?
He gestured to the window. "Ephraim and a menorah, don't tell me you're Jewish. I didn't think there were any other Jews here."
"Jewish and Italian, raised agnostic, I'm the town odd ball." Ephraim leaned across the counter. He held Mike's gaze. "So, Mike, what brings you to town?"
And now Santa was hitting on him. Mike leaned in. "I came for the job but I'm thinking of staying for the company."
"Good answer." Ephraim slid a menu across the counter. "Wait until you try the food."
Mike smiled. Happy holidays indeed.
The end

This company has been helping me with moves for three years and they never disappointed me. The agent quickly provided me with all possible ways of moves and asked about packing materials. The whole move was managed in two days. The crew that came to load all household items was fast and cheerful. Later on, they unpacked all belongings in my new house and carefully unloaded every piece of furniture. Everything came safe.

Item: Corda Classic Headphone Amp
Location: Goldcoast
Price: $ 380
Item Condition: used / excellent
Reason for selling: using all in one amp/dac
Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only
Extra Info:
A few tiny marks (edge), not easy to see, no original box. Normal retail price new is $800.
A very good neutral sounding amp with two crossfeed stages and two gain settings and two times line in.
Tech Data copied from Meyer:
Sure, from the outside the CLASSIC looks very modest and plain. However, technically and sonically this is the best and most advanced amplifier that we've ever build.
Of course this amplifier also uses the concept of active balanced headphone ground. Within this concept each headphone connection wire carries an additional signal such that the sum of the potentials of the wires equals zero. This strongly minimizes the energies stored and released in the electrical fields inside the headphone cable when an audio-signal is applied. The influence of the wire on the sound is thus reduced.
Moreover, with active ground pollution of the internal signal ground by strong driving currents is eliminated and the power-supply-rejection-ratio at the output stages is strongly improved. Thus the best conditions are given for a clean and undistorted sound.
Active balanced headphone ground offers most of the advantages of a true balanced headphone setup without the need of balanced connections. It can be used with any conventional dynamic or magneplanar headphone.
The volume control is technically very sophisticated. The position of the potentiometer is measured with the use of an AD-converter. The output of this converter is then used to switch a bank of relais to set the proper volume level. There are a total of 64 levels which allows for very small stepsizes and a very analog feeling. The advantages of this concept are strongly reduced channel-imbalances and a much cleaner and more detailed sound. The use of a conventional stereo-potentiometer does add its own sonic signature which is now prevented.
The amplification section is build around AD797 opamps biased into class-A. For the output stages BUF634 buffer amplifiers are used. These integrated circuits are very fast and thus allows the output signals to follow the input signals very closely. The amp is DC-coupled and any capacitors found in the signal path are of the highest quality polypropylen and polystyrol.
A very extensive powersupply, a large number of power-regulators, and a total filter capacity of 80.000 microF (!!) assure the best working conditions for any part of the circuitry.
The built-in crossfeed filter is a frequency-extended version of the natural crossfeed found in previous CORDA amplifiers and provides even better imaging. It also offers three intensity levels (Stereo, medium, high). To compensate for the psycho-acoustic bass-loss a separate switch allows to slightly increase lower-frequencies.
Technically the CLASSIC is an extremely advanced headphone amplifier and offers excellent value-for-money!

Nanded: Narrating his experiences of jail, how he was implicated in blast case by the investigative agencies during a programme held in Nanded, in connection with the release of his book 'Begunaah Qaidi' (Innocent Prisoner), Abdul Wahid Shaikh who was acquitted in Mumbai train blast case said that he has written his experiences right from the arrest to release in the form of a book. He wants that people should know how the investigative agencies trap innocents. How they are wrongly implicated.
Shaikh recalled 'ATS had arrested me on the charges of my involvement in Mumbai Train blast. I was taken to the police station on the pretext of interrogation later during custody I was made to suffer third-degree torture. They forced me to admit the crime. It took me 9 years to prove myself innocent.' Abdul Wahid felt that all those who were arrested in Mumbai train blast are innocents and were wrongly implicated.
When I was exonerated by the court and I was coming out of the jail I had promised my inmates that after my release I will try for their release. I want my book to reach every home, he said.
Abdul Wahid Shaikh completed a Master's degree in English, a course in journalism and the first year of a law degree. He has written a 400-page book about his experiences, to serve as a guide for anyone who gets falsely implicated in a terrorist attack.

Full Boost starts at 2,500 RPMs and lasts up to 7,500 RPMs
Stealth OEM Look (Piping comes in Black)
Customizable to your power goals
Compatible with Manual and Automatic Transmissions
Crawford Performance was the first company to successfully engineer, test, and perfect a turbo set up for the BRZ/FRS/GT86. These cars come naturally aspirated from the factory and are not built for power, but need it terribly. Boosting is a tricky process that if done improperly will cause issue as we are sure your research has reflected, but if done right, boosting can turn your 86 in to a whole new car. That's where we come in. We have done the trial and error for you so that you can confidently bolt-on and hold-on.
Our BRZ Turbo Kit is designed as a build-your-own kit. Depending on your power goals, your intended use for the vehicle whether it be street, track, or both, and your budget, we have options for you. Each option can be done together or in stages; outlined below:
Plus 100
- Adds 100hp (for a final number of 300bhp) on 91 octane pump gas, more on E85
- Safe on stock engine*
- Custom Blouch-Built VF36 Twin Scroll Turbo with a thermal coated turbine housing, available only from Crawford Performance
- 2" and 3" Plumbing
- Associated couplers, clamps, nuts, bolts, shields, and gaskets (everything needed for install)
- Thermal coated 3" stainless steel Crawford Performance Down Pipe
- Crawford Performance Equal Length Stainless Steel Headers
- New Oil pan with added drain
- MAP Sensor
Plus 130
- Adds 130hp (for a final number of 330bhp) on 91 octane pump gas, more on E85
- Safe on Stock Engine*
- Large Intercooler maintains peak power regardless of ambient temperatures
- Deletes bumper beam to make room for added components
Includes everything in Plus 100 kit plus:
- One of the Largest Front Mount Intercoolers (FMIC) on the market
- Associated plumbing, couplers, and clamps (everything needed for install)
Plus 200
- Adds 200hp (for a final number of 400bhp) on 91 octane pump gas, more on E85
- Requires Built Engine (click here for the Crawford-Built FA20 Turbo Short Block)
Includes everything in Plus 130 kit plus:
- Boost Controller
- Fuel Package
Suggested Supporting Mods
Horsepower is a direct result of an explosion in your internal combustion motor. There are 3 ingredients that are necessary to create an explosion: oxygen, fuel, and spark.. so the bigger the explosion, the more horsepower! Our turbo kit takes care of the oxygen (air), but to maximize power, you must adjust all three components. In order for your car to handle the added power and heat, strength must be added to certain parts. Below are our tested and suggested supporting mods for this turbo kit.
Your stock engine's compression is too high, paired with weak internals that cannot withstand higher torque numbers your new turbo kit will provide. *With a custom dyno tune and tip-top maintenance, your stock engine can only withstand numbers around 350 hp/tq (less without the 2 factors). The Plus 100 and 130 kits can be safe on your stock engine, but if you are looking for more and to unlock the turbo kit's potential for power, we have designed a built engine just for boosted applications. With this engine, you will be able to produce and maintain up to 600whp.

In order to load a tune on to the car, you will need a license that supplies permission to change the stock map in your engine control unit (ECU). Unless you have a tuner that can do this for you, you will also need the hardware that gives you the tools to do so from your own garage.
Drivetrain mods are a borderline "necessary" upgrade with this kit. If you are an aggressive driver, these are a MUST. If you initially skip these mods and eventually break these parts, they are easily replaceable here at Crawford Performance.
CLUTCH - It is standard in this industry that when upgrading your vehicle with more power, that the clutch is one of the first things to replace. The BRZ/FRS/GT86 does not come with a bullet-proof transmission like we have seen with other Subaru models, so this is a touchy upgrade. We have tested quite a few different setups in our white shop BRZ, and after much trial and error, we have had the best success with Exedy products, more specifically their Stage 2 racing clutches. The flywheel can be left stock or upgraded to lightweight if you prefer the feel.
AXLES - Throughout our years of racing, we have had sponsors come and go. The ones that stick are that ones that have product that hold up to our abuse. We don't support this kind of aggressive driving off the track, but we all know there are those that push their cars to the limit on any road. To ensure that your axles will survive this power mod, we suggest and have had great results from The Driveshaft Shop's upgraded axles.

Fuel (included with Plus 200 Kit, can be added on to Plus 100/130)
E85 has become a chosen fuel upgrade for many cars on the road, from factory models to purpose-built race cars. It is available at the pump, priced very close to pump gas, high in octane, eco-friendly, and makes your car run cooler allowing higher horsepower numbers. It's not at every pump though, but the industry has adapted to this fact and has come up with a solution: Flex-Fuel. Henry Ford tried to implement this technology in the early 1900's, but it wasn't until "global warming" and "green" advocates became mainstream that it was utilized. It allows you to run E85 either pure or mixed with pump gas. We have honed in on all the pieces needed to run this type of technology on your car!
The Down Pipe that comes in our Turbo Kit is designed to meet up with any 3" aftermarket exhaust system. If you are looking for a catless full 3" exhaust system, we have designed one to mimic our infamous Gymkhana Exhaust on Ken Block's Subarus. This is a 3 part system, including a front mid-pipe, rear mid-pipe, Magnaflow muffler, and a dual Gymkhana cone tipped tail-pipe.
Click here to check out the Crawford Performance Cat-Back Gymkhana Exhaust system for the BRZ/FRS/GT86 (temporarily unavailable)
Oil Efficiency
As we recommend for any horizontally opposed and/or turbo motor, the Crawford Performance Air/Oil Separator is your solution for that notorious Subaru oil consumption problem, as well as unwanted detonation.

With more power, comes more heat. The stock set-up is sufficient for daily driving and occasional spurts. But if you are living in a climate with average triple-digit temperatures, or plan on tracking your car on a regular basis, you will need to upgrade the cooling systems on your car. Since the track is our chosen playground, we have tested different set-ups until we narrowed down the necessary modifications and put them together in a kit for you.
