Stop Location Design in Public Transportation Networks: Covering and Accessibility Objectives (2006)
In StopLoc we consider the location of new stops along the edges of an existing public transportation network. Examples of StopLoc include the location of bus stops along some given bus routes or of railway stations along the tracks in a railway system. In order to measure the ''convenience'' of the location decision for potential customers in given demand facilities, two objectives are proposed. In the first one, we give an upper bound on reaching a closest station from any of the demand facilities and minimize the number of stations. In the second objective, we fix the number of new stations and minimize the sum of the distances between demand facilities and stations. The resulting two problems CovStopLoc and AccessStopLoc are solved by a reduction to a classical set covering and a restricted location problem, respectively. We implement the general ideas in two different environments - the plane, where demand facilities are represented by coordinates and in networks, where they are nodes of a graph.
The problem of finding an optimal location X* minimizing the maximum Euclidean distance to existing facilities is well solved by e.g. the Elzinga-Hearn algorithm. In practical situations X* will however often not be feasible. We therefore suggest in this note a polynomial algorithm which will find an optimal location X^F in a feasible subset F of the plane R^2
Finding "good" cycles in graphs is a problem of great interest in graph theory as well as in locational analysis. We show that the center and median problems are NP hard in general graphs. This result holds both for the variable cardinality case (i.e. all cycles of the graph are considered) and the fixed cardinality case (i.e. only cycles with a given cardinality p are feasible). Hence it is of interest to investigate special cases where the problem is solvable in polynomial time. In grid graphs, the variable cardinality case is, for instance, trivially solvable if the shape of the cycle can be chosen freely. If the shape is fixed to be a rectangle one can analyse rectangles in grid graphs with, in sequence, fixed dimension, fixed cardinality, and variable cardinality. In all cases a com plete characterization of the optimal cycles and closed form expressions of the optimal objective values are given, yielding polynomial time algorithms for all cases of center rectangle problems. Finally, it is shown that center cycles can be chosen as rectangles for small cardinalities such that the center cycle problem in grid graphs is in these cases completely solved.
Given a railway network together with information on the population and their use of the railway infrastructure, we are considering the e ffects of introducing new train stops in the existing railway network. One e ffect concerns the accessibility of the railway infrastructure to the population, measured in how far people live from their nearest train stop. The second effect we study is the change in travel time for the railway customers that is induced by new train stops. Based on these two models, we introduce two combinatorial optimization problems and give NP-hardness results for them. We suggest an algorithmic approach for the model based on travel time and give first experimental results.

Borini set for Liverpool stay, claims agent
The Italian forward spent last season on loan at The Stadium of Light - scoring 10 goals in all competitions for Gus Poyet's side.
Having returned to Anfield at the conclusion of his loan spell, the former Chelsea and Parma man has been a key target for Poyet ahead of his first full season at Sunderland.
However, his agent Marco De Marchi claims the 23-year-old is determined to secure a place in Brendan Rodgers' starting XI.
"Sunderland have made a large offer of €18million to sign him, but Fabio wants to stay," De Marchi told tuttomercatoweb.com.
"His project with Liverpool started two years ago when he left Roma. He began a journey and it is a major project for him.
"He should not be judged on his first year [at Liverpool].
"He was out for six months with various injuries and during the past year he took a step back by going to Sunderland and he has had an extraordinary season.
"Now, after the loan, Liverpool have not told me anything. I think he will stay, he is convinced that he will play."

When I was little, Halloween was a big deal. We always made our own costumes out of what we had on hand. I remember that my brother and I would tool around our neighborhood for hours looking for the best candy-giving houses. I specifically remember a house giving cans of soda one year...what a find! And then there was the house that gave out the gross orange and black wrapped candy.
|Once a Chiefs fan, always a Chiefs fan.
Nowadays we buy our children's costumes. Some parents lament the days of making due with what you had on hand, but when they turn out this cute, who am I to say no?

This message comes from Application Server 8. The full message looks like either:
Could not start the domain. There are no domains.
Could not start the domain. No default domain. Need to enter a domain.
This error occurs when Application Server 8 is installed on the same system, and its asadmin command (at /usr/sbin) is found on the PATH before the asadmin command for Application Server 8 at install_dir/bin. The situation is especially likely to occur on Solaris/Linux systems when . is not specified as part of the PATH variable. Without . in the PATH, the asadmin command in /usr/sbin is found first, even when the current directory is install_dir/bin.
Make sure install_dir/bin is in the PATH ahead of /usr/sbin, or that . is in the PATH ahead of /usr/sbin if you access asadmin by changing directories to install_dir/bin. Alternatively, if you do change to install_dir/bin to run asadmin, be sure to include./ in the command name; for example:
cd install_dir/bin ./asadmin

SOURCE: Better Hearing Institute
March 18, 2014 18:20 ET
WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwired - Mar 18, 2014) - Hearing loss is about twice as common in people with diabetes, so the Better Hearing Institute (BHI) is urging those with diabetes to get their hearing checked and to make it a routine part of the their diabetes care and management -- all in recognition of American Diabetes Association Alert Day® on March 25. BHI is offering a free, quick, and confidential online hearing check at www.BetterHearing.org. Anyone can take the confidential online survey to determine if they need a comprehensive hearing test by a hearing healthcare professional.
BHI also is encouraging all adults to find out if they're at risk for developing type 2 diabetes by taking the American Diabetes Association's Diabetes Risk Test (ow.ly/uvLST). Although Alert Day is a one-day event, the Diabetes Risk Test and the BHI Hearing Check are available year-round.
What's the Diabetes-Hearing Health Connection?
Hearing depends on small blood vessels and nerves in the inner ear. Studies have shown that people with diabetes have a higher rate of hearing loss than people without diabetes. Although the relationship between diabetes and hearing loss is still being investigated, researchers theorize that, over time, high blood glucose levels can damage the blood vessels and nerves of the inner ear, diminishing the ability to hear. (http://ow.ly/uCLit)
In a meta-analysis (ow.ly/uvK8y) published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, researchers found that people with diabetes were 2.15 times as likely as those without the disease to have hearing loss. Surprisingly, when broken down by age, the younger group was at greater risk. The results showed that those 60 and younger with diabetes were 2.61 times more likely to have hearing loss, while the risk for those older than 60 was 1.58 times higher. The meta-analysis looked at 13 previous studies that examined the link between diabetes and hearing loss.
According to Professor Hirohito Sone, Department of Internal Medicine, Niigata University School of Medicine, Niigata, Japan: "Our findings support routine hearing screenings for people with diabetes starting at an earlier age than for people without the disease. From a preventive healthcare perspective, this is very important because we know that when left untreated, hearing loss can exacerbate and perhaps even lead to other health problems, such as depression and dementia, making the diabetes burden even greater."
Likewise, research (ow.ly/uvJNQ) also suggests that by keeping diabetes under control, people can help minimize potential diabetes-related hearing damage. Researchers at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit found that women between the ages of 60 and 75 with well-controlled diabetes had better hearing than women whose diabetes was poorly controlled.
"A certain degree of hearing loss is common with aging, but it is often accelerated in patients with diabetes, especially if blood-glucose levels are not being controlled," said senior study author Kathleen L. Yaremchuk, M.D., Chair of the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit.
"Our study really points to the importance of patients controlling their diabetes and paying attention to their hearing health."
Unlike eye exams, hearing health examinations are often overlooked in the routine regimen of care for people with diabetes, despite the fact that the vast majority of people with hearing loss can benefit from hearing aids. In fact, almost all of the 400 people who underwent hearing tests at the American Diabetes Association's EXPO in Portland, Oregon in 2012 said they had never received a physician's recommendation for a hearing test. Yet more than half of these 400 individuals were found to have hearing loss. And nearly all of them said they did not know that hearing loss is associated with diabetes. (ow.ly/uvKmf)

How Hearing Aids May Help
Research shows that hearing loss is frequently associated with other physical, mental, and emotional health conditions, and that people who address their hearing loss often experience better quality of life. Eight out of 10 hearing aid users, in fact, say they're satisfied with the changes that have occurred in their lives specifically due to their hearing aids -- from how they feel about themselves to the positive changes they see in their relationships, social interactions, and work lives.
When people with even mild hearing loss use hearing aids, they often improve their job performance; enhance their communication skills; increase their earnings potential; improve their professional and interpersonal relationships; stave off depression; gain an enhanced sense of control over their lives; and better their quality of life.
Here are five little-known facts about today's modern hearing aids:
1. They're virtually invisible. Many of today's hearing aids sit discreetly and comfortably inside the ear canal, providing both natural sound quality, and discreet and easy use.
2. They automatically adjust to all kinds of soundscapes. Recent technological advances with directional microphones have made hearing aids far more versatile than ever before -- and in a broad range of sound environments.
3. You can enjoy water sports and sweat while wearing them. Waterproof digital hearing aids have arrived. This feature is built into some newly designed hearing aids for those concerned about water, humidity, and dust. This feature suits the active lifestyles of swimmers, skiers, snowboarders, intensive sports enthusiasts and anyone working in dusty, demanding environments.
4. They work with smartphones, home entertainment systems and other prized electronics. Wireless, digital hearing aids are now the norm. That means seamless connectivity -- directly into your hearing aid(s) at volumes that are just right for you -- from your smartphone, MP3 player, television and other high-tech gadgets.
5. They're always at the ready. A new rechargeable feature on some newly designed hearing aids allows you to recharge your hearing aids every night, so they're ready in the morning. It's super convenient -- and there's no more fumbling with small batteries.

Deciding on 15 year appellation activity allowance rates
One of the basal things that you should adjudge if you buy appellation activity allowance is the policy's authority period. A lot of of the companies action adaptability for the best of term. You can accept from a part of 5, 10, 15 and 20 year terms. Here is a altercation about altered periods, with adapted accent on 15 year appellation activity allowance rates.
Deciding the term
Choosing the a lot of adapted continuance for your action can be confusing. One affair that you should accumulate in apperception is that best the action term, academy is the cost. So, ante of a 15 year appellation activity allowance are academy than a 10 or 5 year aeon policy. You can appraise assorted periods based on these criteria.
• Age of the youngest affiliate in the family: The action should accommodate advantage at atomic until the youngest affiliate passes out of academy and can accept their own advantage plan
• Budget: Experts do not acclaim compromising on action bulk to abate banking load. Rather, you can abate the term, because beneath time periods bulk lower in agreement of premiums and all-embracing expense. Buying a 15 year appellation alert is bigger than traveling in for a 30 year plan
• Action amount: If you crave a appellation activity action for $1 million, try altered permutations and combinations with altered durations and see which one works out best. Since best agreement are costlier, you could breach the $1million in this manner:
• 30 year policy: $200,000
• 20 year policy: $200,000
• 15 year policy: $300,000
• 10 year policy: $300,000
This way, you get the appropriate advantage bulk and all-embracing bulk reduces because you pay altered exceptional ante for altered policies. Since best periods entail academy costs, you can abate action bulk for these behavior and pay lower premiums. For beneath durations, you can accept academy action amounts because premiums are lower.
Insurance is a account bulk agnate to your added costs such as mortgage payments, bills and rent. Before chief on the period, you should analysis exceptional amounts and see that the accumulative bulk is beneath your budget.
Evaluate your needs and analyze 15 year appellation activity allowance rates
A 5 year action is about like a abbreviate appellation plan but clashing acting behavior that are accurate for up to one year only, 5 year behavior action advantage for a best duration. If you are currently unemployed or cannot pay top premiums, 5 year aeon allowance is suitable. The acceptable affair about this action is that you can catechumen it into best agreement after abundant hassle.
10 year behavior are acceptable in homes with teenagers, in case a best action is not achievable for you. This allowance protects your ancestors until your accouchement are independent. After that, you can either accept addition action or extend the 10 year plan for a best duration. You save money and do not accept to accommodation on coverage.
15 year appellation allowance is acceptable for families with adolescent children. You are abundantly able until your accouchement abound up. Generally, a 15 year appellation is advised able for about all age groups, whether over 65 years of age or younger. Premiums are reasonable and affordable as well. A 15 year plan is adopted over all added agreement because it gets you acceptable benefits, does not accountability you financially and you can be at accord for fifteen continued years. A 20 year plan, on the added hand, can be added expensive.
To accept the best bargain, appeal quotes to apperceive ante of 15 year behavior from altered appellation activity allowance providers. Analyze appearance and accept the best one.

The Lumia 925 has received praise for the improved optics and software on-board to make low-light photography an absolute breeze. First introduced on the Lumia 920, Nokia added OIS (optical image stabilisation), leading to amazing results and is now pumping up the hype for its latest flagship Windows Phone. Introducing Capture The Night, Nokia's launching a promotion to market the new smartphone here in the UK.
To prove just how good the Lumia 925 is in low-light settings, the company has sent 15 units to secret locations around the UK. Each night at 9:25PM (starting on July 24th), each and every Lumia 925 will snap a photo at every location. This is where consumers get involved. As well as showing off the result of the improved imaging capabilities, Nokia will be giving away all 15 Lumia 925 handsets (as well as a trip to New York) if you can guess where that specific Lumia 925 is.
How does one get involved and win their own Lumia 925 and possibly a trip to NY?
- Every night at 9:25PM the Nokia Lumia 925s will take a photograph. Using these images (and your own ingenuity) try to work out where the phones are located. Guess a location correctly and a Nokia Lumia 925 is yours
- You get three guesses per location per day. If you're the first person to guess a location correctly you'll win the Nokia Lumia 925 that took the picture.
- When the last location is found, get there and be captured on the Lumia 925. The first person to tag themself in the official photos wins the trip to New York. Make sure it's easy for Nokia can see it's you though.
Be sure to scribble in the date and time in your calendars, folks. We're looking forward to seeing who will be able to get in the last shot and tag themselves.

PHOTOS: Damon in pinstripes
TAMPA -- Johnny Damon gave Manny Ramírez his best sell. For $5.1 million, the Chestnut Hill house Damon bought for $4.75 million, and the pool house he added for $375,000, would be Ramírez's. Damon did not want actual value for the place, which he pegs at $6 million. He simply wanted the return on his investment.
At cost, Damon told Ramírez, he could have an actual home and be done with the Ritz, a place, Damon said, ''where sometimes it all becomes too much for him.
''There are people taking his picture when he gets into his car, people talking to him. It's a difficult ride to the park.
''But," Damon said, ''he didn't want it because he was convinced he was leaving Boston."
With Ramírez initially uninterested, and now poised to reinhabit his Ritz penthouse, Damon is selling his Massachusetts home back to the builder, as he prepares to shift to his new April-to-October coordinates -- a place, incidentally, that Ramírez would love. The 3,000-square-foot, 39th-floor condo at One Beacon Court on Manhattan's Upper East Side has it all: an urban panorama (the view includes the Chrysler Building), green grass (Central Park unfolds below), and, perhaps best of all, relative anonymity.
In Boston, Damon was iconic.
''I was me," he said. ''I was the voice. I was the face."
In his new home, he merely will be a face.
Damon, when he steps on the elevator, is liable at any time to encounter singer/songwriter/designer/actress Beyonce Knowles. Or, her paramour, rapper Jay-Z. Or Brian Williams, on his way to the NBC studios to anchor the nightly news. Or former
''I'm trying," Damon said, ''to get the full New York experience."
When Pedro Martínez spiked septuagenarian Don Zimmer during Game 3 of the 2003 ALCS, and the benches cleared, Damon raced to Giambi. Not because Damon wanted anything to do with the enormous slugger, whose arm veins rise, in serpentine paths, above his skin. Damon did so because he had suffered a concussion four days earlier in a sickening collision with Damian Jackson, and he knew that Giambi, who in 2001 in Oakland became his all-time favorite teammate, would protect him.
Similarly, on Day 1 in Yankee camp last month, Damon walked into the clubhouse, saw the locker next to Giambi's unoccupied, and announced, ''Oh. This is where I'll be."
Last Wednesday morning, as Giambi autographed a few photos, Damon leaned in and asked, ''How many bedrooms do you have?"
''Three," Giambi answered.
''I've got to get home and pack and then leave tomorrow," said Damon, who was to leave the next day for the World Baseball Classic. ''Can Michelle and I stay over tonight?"
''Yeah, yeah," Giambi said. ''Come on over."
Giambi, turning away, said, ''That's why I got three bedrooms. I knew he'd be there sooner or later."
Damon, unlike most of his teammates, isn't living in Tampa during camp. He makes his year-round home in Orlando, where he grew up, and he has been commuting the 90 miles down Interstate 4 each day. It takes him an hour and a half to get there in the morning, an hour and 10 minutes to get home in the early afternoon.
Outside of workouts, Damon said, he hasn't gotten to know his teammates that well.
''All these guys here know what I'm about," he said. ''I'm going to see these guys plenty the next four years. The commute is great. I see the kids all the time. I sleep in my own bed. It's just been great. Obviously, I would like to be closer, but I can deal with this."
The clubhouse, he said, ''has been a blessing in disguise. These guys have welcomed me with open arms. You never really see yourself being on the other side, but the clubhouse is better than what I'd anticipated. And I think it's just part of my character. I think I can get along with anybody."
Damon claims there's been no awkwardness between him and Alex Rodriguez (whom Damon ripped in his book) or Bernie Williams (whose prestigious plot of Yankee Stadium land Damon is inheriting).
''No," Damon said, when asked if he'd had any uncomfortable moments with A-Rod, whose slap of Bronson Arroyo's glove in the 2004 postseason Damon called ''an unsportsmanlike act of cheating the likes of which none us had ever seen."
''I talked to him about it last Opening Day, so there was no need for that as time passed," Damon said.
And Williams? ''We have the same agent [Scott Boras], and as we negotiated with the Yankees, we knew Bernie was going to come back. Bernie is going to continue to have a job. He's going to get some playing time in right, in left, at DH. Bernie is going to be counted on a lot to anchor the bottom half of our lineup."
This is OK with manager Joe Torre, who doesn't necessarily believe that his many stars must align on a personal level.
''I'm not necessarily a believer in, you need chemistry to win," Torre said. ''The thing you have to have is respect for each other, and you come together at the right time."
''But," he added, with emphasis, ''with John, he's very easy to get to know. He doesn't seem to have any kind of shield up. He's very open. I think these guys had a chance to know him as I had a chance to appreciate him [as an opposing player], and there's a great deal of respect for Johnny Damon."
It is rare that Torre refers to Damon as ''Johnny." Usually, the name is ''John," which means dropping, of all letters, the ''ny," as if, along with the hair, the team also professionalized Damon's name.
The hair, by the way, is in a plastic bag inside Damon's bathroom. He hasn't considered selling it.
''If people want to start offering for it, so be it," he said. ''I just see it as hair."
Hair, Damon said, that he was prepared to cut, even had he remained with the Sox.
''I feel younger," said Damon, who turned 32 in November. ''I feel different. I saw some pictures of me last year with the hair and thought, 'Damn, I let that go a little too much.' "
While Damon has remade his look to comply to code, his new manager doesn't want Damon to reinvent himself.
''I'm happy to say I haven't observed anything different than I watched on the other side of the field, except that he's wearing our uniform," Torre said. ''What I told John is, you don't have to prove yourself to anybody, because you've already established who you are. And that's all we want, is that player.
''He's always been a special player to me. I noticed when he was with Kansas City, a skinny kid, over there to Oakland. The one thing I noticed, statistics aside, is he gave you your money's worth every time he put on the uniform. Ran hard to first base. Played hard. Good, bad, or indifferent, he was always that type of player. Fans appreciate that. And I can tell you, first-hand, the manager appreciates that."
Damon, now with Team USA in Arizona, made an impression in the short time he spent in Tampa. In his first intrasquad contest, he dived to catch the first ball hit to him and singled to right in his first at-bat, off Mike Mussina. In a batting practice session, Damon stood in against Johnson, as the menacing lefthander grazed Damon's left arm with a fastball and sailed a couple more over his head.
Damon genuinely believes he'll handle each of his Yankee firsts as well as he did those, and Torre doesn't disagree.
''I don't really concern myself with his getting adjusted," said Torre, who couldn't say that about Rodriguez two offseasons ago or Johnson last winter. ''I don't think [the adjustment] is going to be as much as it was for other players who come here, because every year we play them 19 times plus the postseason.
''I think he's had a taste of what there is to get used to: the notoriety he's had, the success he's had at the Stadium, the passion."
''His hardest thing, I think, is I don't know how the fans are going to react to him," Giambi said. ''He was one of their leaders. When I go back to Oakland, it stings a little. It stings. You have all these great memories there. He loved it in Boston."
But can't a player compartmentalize each experience and realize that the fan is booing the decision to leave, not the person who played there and not the memories he left behind?
''If you're that type of guy, yeah," Giambi said. ''But I don't think necessarily."
Damon doesn't know how he'll be greeted when he leads off the May 1 game at Fenway.
''I haven't thought much about it," he said.
He also contends that the ad he took out in the Globe to thank the Boston fans wasn't an attempt to influence their reaction come that night.
''There was nothing to gain for me with the ad," he said. ''Whatever fans decide to do, cheer me, boo me, I didn't do it to change that. It was just to say, 'Thanks.' Unfortunately, in this game players move on. Life doesn't stand still, life keeps going. As much as we wanted to hang on to the 2004 championship, it was a time for many players to go."
How much would it have taken to keep Damon in Boston?
''Probably $11.5 million" a year, he said, or $46 million, the midpoint between the Sox' offer ($40 million) and the Yankees' ($52 million).
''They set a value on me, and I respect that," he said. ''They didn't want to go over that threshold. But it's $3 million a year, and with that $3 million, I could help out so many unfortunate people."
Damon said he has donated money to children's foundations in Orlando and to a community initiative in his hometown aimed at putting more police on the streets.
''There's going to be a lot more in time," he promised. ''I'm going to make a difference in a lot of people's lives. I know I did it in Boston, and I hope to help people in Boston more. But I want to focus on Orlando and make a lasting impression."
Is it too soon to look back on the impression he left in Boston as a baseball player?
''I know what I meant to the city, and I know what the city meant to me," he said. ''They introduced me to the world as a pretty good ballplayer."
He was more than that, in the words of team president and CEO Larry Lucchino, who a day after Damon signed with New York called him ''in some ways, the personification of the franchise."
''Well," Damon said, ''how come you didn't make me a better offer?"
At times over the winter, Damon has said the Sox believe he is over the hill. Perhaps he actually believes that. Perhaps he's convinced himself of that, as motivation. When these two theories were put to him, he said, ''I'm speculating, because reporters are telling me that's what [the Sox] are thinking. I just kind of go off of that."
He doesn't begrudge his successor, Coco Crisp, though he does have some advice for him. Two pieces, actually, one specific and one general.
The specific: When the ball is hit to left-center, and Ramírez is in left, Damon said, ''He definitely has to keep his eyes open."
The general: ''Just enjoy it. Over time, the fans are going to love the way he plays the game. Yeah, he's learning how to play center again. Yeah, he's learning how to lead off. But those guys hitting third and fourth can make you look better than you probably are.
''He just has to enjoy it, respect the fans, and they'll respect you."
That, Damon said, was his ultimate reward in Boston. He hopes that remains the same, even when he returns as a turncoat.
But what happens if a brawl breaks out?
''I definitely won't go get Varitek."

Recently, I wrote about about creating specific, compelling goals that pull you towards what you want in your business, career and life. It is important to have a goal written down, and it is equally as important to the write down the reasons why you want that specific goal. The drive to accomplish your goal is in the reasons why you want it. With a specific goal in mind you have your target, and by being conscious of your reasons, you will maintain the drive to accomplish it. The final thing you need is a plan. Some people are natural planners. They are able to look out over time into the future and visualize the actions and events that need to happen in order to get what they want. For some of us though, this doesn't come as easily. We like to fly by the seat of our pants, or "wing it" as they say. Generally, people who like to wing it are not as comfortable dealing in the realm of details and specifics. They are classic "big picture" people. They like concepts and ideas, and are good at creating vision and setting strategy, which makes for a good leadership. While big picture thinking will direct us toward our target, the achievement of a goal actually happens in the details. This is where the rubber meets the road. Think about that tire for a moment. The goal of a tire is the purpose for which it will be used. Does the tire handle best on snow and ice, or would it be better used as a formula one racing slick? Stating that you are going to create the best snow and ice tire is not enough to make it happen. The design of a tire starts as a big picture strategy decision, and ends with the specific details of the precise rubber compounds to mix and the depth and design of the tread mold. To be good in sales, you have to have both big picture and detail management skills. You must create a vision, set the strategy, and lead people to the goal. You must also create a specific and realistic plan for yourself and others so that all involved know what it takes to accomplish the objective. A good account plan will have both a goal and a specific plan. Sales account plans are often something salespeople just create because their management asks them for it. The process of planning though, actually begins to create the desired result in advance. By being more specific in your account and territory planning, you will find that you are better able to spot the resources you need and potential problems and pitfalls far in advance. This will result in more wins and in cutting your losses sooner on weak opportunities. Also, you will have a bargaining chip with your management, in that you can show what you need in terms of time, money and resources to accomplish the sales objectives that are asked of you. In making your sales and business plans, you start with the goal and the reasons. Then you create a plan. You take it down to a level of detail so that anyone could follow your instructions. This way, you are assured of getting the results you want because you planned them out in advance. When people fail to reach their goals, it is usually due to one or two reasons: 1) They forgot why they were doing it and lost their drive, 2) They didn't know precisely how to reach their goal. Without a specific plan, you can get easily derailed along the way because you didn't know how much time, money, skill, or other resources it would take to get what you want. Plan out your sales activities. Plan out your quarter. Plan out your week – yes your week – in advance. Plan out your day. Plan out your sales calls. Plan out the questions you are going to ask, just as you would plan out an important presentation. Remember to have a goal and the reasons in mind for each plan. Build plans – you will be more successful. Finally, don't be concerned as to whether planning will make you an "anally retentive" individual. Successful people set goals and plan for what they want – they don't concern themselves with such labels.
Choosing the Right Business Name
Sometimes, new entrepreneurs are in such a rush to get started at their businesses that they jump right into working with customers without giving much thought to their BUSINESS NAME. "I'll just do business under my own name for a while, until I find something I like." While it seems easy at the time, you might want to re-think the plan to change business names down the road. You will find that, as your professional recognition and customer base grow, people have started to IDENTIFY you with the name of your company. A name change in mid-stream can be costly and confusing.
First, you will lose ground in the marketing arena — it takes time and effort to build up BRAND RECOGNITION, and that time is lost when you change names. You may also lose customers to the competition — what are they to think when they go looking for "Joe's Mobile Car Wash" in the yellow pages and you've changed your name to "Fast and Easy Auto Detailing?" They might think that you've gone out of business and it's time to find someone else to clean their cards. And finally, changing names can cause you increased PAPERWORK and EXPENSE — changing your bank accounts, credit cards, marketing materials, incorporation documents, DBA registration, etc. So why not get it right the first time? Here are some suggestions for choosing a business name that will serve you well for years to come.
When people hear the name of your company, will they be able to REMEMBER it 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 3 hours, or a week later? When they decide to hunt you up on the web or in the phone book, will they be able to easily recall your business name? It doesn't matter if you are choosing a fictitious business name or using your own — the same rules apply. Your name should be UNIQUE enough that it will stick in a potential customer's mind — "Smith's Gym" isn't going to be nearly as easy to remember as "Work That Body."
You also want to stay away from names that are likely to be CONFUSED with another company. You may think it's a cute idea to come up with a name that closely resembles (without exactly copying) another company's name. But calling your personal coaching company "Joys-R-Us" is confusing, unoriginal, and likely to bring about a lawsuit! And beware of phrases or ACRONYMS that are overused in your profession. You wouldn't believe how many Professional Organizers use some combination of words that spell out SOS (usually "Someone's Organizing Solutions"). Your company will stand out more if your name is truly unique.
However, the next question is "when they do recall it, is it easy enough to spell that they can immediately find your listing?" You want to stay away from challenging spellings and pronunciations. Calling your restaurant "Phine Phoods" is just asking for trouble — how is your customer going to know to look under "p" instead of "f" in the phone book? And if your last name is Piccalopoupoulis, you may be better off creating a fictitious business name. A good rule of thumb to follow is to pay attention to what happens when you tell other people your name — if you are always having to SPELL or PRONOUNCE it slowly, it will be hard for people remember and find later on.
This is particularly important if you are planning to turn your business name into a DOMAIN name. Websites with long or hard-to-spell names get overlooked during standard searches. And try to avoid having to include a hyphen or underscore in your name to make it appropriate for the web. Short, snappy, easy-to-remember names work best in the translation from brick-and-mortar to internet.
Will customers learn something specific, unique, or descriptive about your business, just from hearing the name? Will they get a feel for WHAT you provide or HOW you provide it? Many individual service providers try to sound like high-end firms by using some derivative of their first and last name for their company identity – "Joanna Carrol and Associates," or "JC Consulting," or "Carroll and Company." But what does that really tell a potential customer about your company? I don't know if you are an insurance agent or an attorney or a professional organizer. Include something in your name that describes your product or service — "JC Graphic Design" — so customers aren't left WONDERING what type of business you have.
You can also include some information about those special CHARACTERISTICS that make your business DIFFERENT from the competition. Okay — so you've told me that you are a printer. Why should I hire you instead of the printer down the street? You might be faster, cheaper, provide better quality, have more experience, offer a higher-end product, or provide more services than the other guy. If it's appropriate and pertinent, include one or two of those traits — "JC Full-Service Graphic Design" — in your name.
If you are joining an industry that allows for "branching out," be careful about giving your company a name that traps you in a very small service area. For example, a company that starts out putting in tile floors — but has plans to expand into vinyl, hardwood, and carpeting down the road — wouldn't want a name like "TileMasters." Something more along the lines of "FloorMasters" will give the company the FLEXIBILITY they need to grow and change later on.
And if you have intentions of ever expanding your service area, you need to be careful about a GEOGRAPHICALLY limiting business name. "Hair Over Atlanta" isn't going to work as well when you open locations in Seattle and Los Angeles and New York. Be sure to check the US Patent And Trademark Office's online database to make sure your name is available for national use before you start printing it on your cards.

FORT MYERS (AP) - Sarah Hansen has a secret. Somedays, she grabs a quick nap.
That is, when classrooms are dark and quiet.
"Maybe five minutes," the Florida Gulf Coast guard insists. "Sometimes. Not even."
With the schedule that the Eagles face on a daily basis, naps are probably the team's best friend. They practice most days at 6 a.m., meaning alarm clocks start going off around 4:30 a.m. or so, the training room is filled with half-awake people about a half-hour later, and the sound of bouncing basketballs begins echoing in an empty gym not long afterward.
They are early risers, and they are very much rising.
Winners of 17 straight games, the Eagles have already clinched the Atlantic Sun's regular-season title and will be the favorites to represent their conference for the second straight year in the NCAA tournament next month. And this week, Florida Gulf Coast even got one vote in the AP Top 25 poll, the first time that's happened this season.
"We know that our goal is to win a conference championship and win the conference tournament and as a reward for that we would get a chance to get to the NCAA tournament again," Eagles coach Karl Smesko said. "And we feel like we have the kind of team that if we get to the NCAA tournament, we can win games. We try to prepare ourselves as best we can for that tournament situation."
So that means practices must be intense, sharp, focused.
And when it's still dark outside, that's not always easy to do.
"You're an athlete, so you sacrifice here and there," said guard Brittany Kennedy. "But, oh, it can be rough."
Rough might be an understatement.
The Eagles are on the practice floor before most students on their campus, which is nestled on the gulf coast side of Florida almost equidistant between Miami and Tampa. In reality, they're probably on the practice floor before some students on that campus are in bed for the night. Some of the Eagles players say they need to be in bed by 9 or 9:30 p.m. - simply unheard of for most college kids.
With class schedules, internships and other obligations that the Eagle players have, the only solution was to play before school starts.
"We'd prefer not to go as early as we do," Smesko said. "It's definitely not a preference. Me, I don't mind getting up early. The kids, it's not their preference. We have done it the last two years out of necessity. It's not something we do every year - or want to do every year."
That being said, there's no allowance for 6 a.m. sloppiness, either.
If something's not right in practice, Smesko - a mild-mannered coach who has quietly built a mid-major giant at FGCU, averaging more than 26 wins per season in his career, taking his team to a Division II title game and then to the NCAA field last year in its first season of Division I eligibility - lets his team know right away to clean it up.
"It's never pretty when we first get out here," said Hansen, who averages a team-best 18.7 points per game, as team sports information director Michael Hill nodded in agreement. "Everybody's a little groggy. We have some people who aren't really morning people, me included. Some days it takes a little longer to warmed up than it should, but once we get into it, we really can't play extremely sloppy basketball. With coach the way he is, if we get sloppy, he gets on us, tells us we're not performing the way we need to."
Of course, there usually isn't that much stuff for Smesko to be all that upset with.
Florida Gulf Coast went 29-3 last season, setting an NCAA record with 342 makes from 3-point range. The Eagles made the NCAA field as the A-Sun champions, and nearly knocked off favored St. Bonaventure in the first round, falling in overtime.
And it hurts them to this day. The Eagles led by 10 with less than 6 minutes left in regulation.
"We were right there," Kennedy said. "We should have had that game. We all know that. But we can't dwell on the past. We learned from it, and we're playing to get back to that position again."
So maybe that's one of the reasons why getting out of bed before anyone else on campus probably is doesn't hurt the Eagles.
At least, not too much.
"I would say I'm extremely motivated by everything that happened last year," Hansen said. "Just being so close to where we were and having that opportunity, basically in our hands and just taken away from it, it was one of the worst experiences I've ever gone through related to basketball. We were one possession away from winning a game in the NCAA tournament, having a chance to go to the Sweet 16."
That memory, some days, is the only wake-up call she needs.

Abortionist James Scott Pendergraft IV's mobile phone rang. It was Nov. 8, 2011, and a man on the line said his wife was almost 25 weeks pregnant. They wanted to terminate the pregnancy, the man said, because of a "fetal anomaly."
Pendergraft knew what to do. He told the caller to wire $6,000 cash to a Florida bank account, and promised to give directions for reaching an undisclosed clinic near Washington, D.C., as soon as the funds transferred.
The caller sounded uncertain. "You're saying something that's a little bit odd. It's a secret place, and I have to wire you the money, and then—"
"I've been in business for over 30 years, OK?" interrupted Pendergraft. He assured the husband the procedure could begin as early as tomorrow.
Pendergraft himself wouldn't be doing the procedure, though. The caller asked who would.
"We don't reveal the doctor until you arrive at the office."
"OK, that gives me a little hesitancy. …"
Peeved, Pendergraft's voice rose: "I clearly understand what you are saying. But I don't know you, OK? You called me—and I have the experience."
Unknown to the abortionist, the caller wasn't a worried husband, but Troy Newman, president of the pro-life organization Operation Rescue. Last July Operation Rescue revealed the results of a seven-month undercover investigation, including sting calls, proving Florida-based Pendergraft was running a late-term abortion business in Forestville, Md., although he had no license in Maryland. Pendergraft employed another doctor, Harold Alexander, to do the abortions.
The Forestville center specialized in ending 24-week-plus pregnancies using "intra-cardiac injection," a technique Pendergraft honed at one of his Florida abortion businesses, the Orlando Women's Center. "A spinal needle is guided slowly into the fetal heart, where a feticide agent or 50 [milliliters] of air is injected via a syringe to stop the fetal heartbeat," explained Pendergraft's website, LateTermAbortion.net, advertising his D.C.-area availability.
Gruesome late-term procedures like these remain legal in many states, sometimes under the guise of protecting a mother's mental health or preventing a baby from being born with an abnormality. Abortionists find late-term killings financially attractive: A first-trimester abortion costs around $400, but abortionists like Pendergraft charge $5,000 to $10,000 per late-term procedure, depending on the gestational age.
Pro-life forces are making late-term abortions less common, though, thanks to a wave of legislation restricting abortions after about 20 weeks gestation. The laws are based on scientific evidence suggesting an unborn child can feel pain at that age.
Maryland law formally prohibits abortions once the baby has developed enough to survive outside the womb. But the permitted "health" exceptions—a mother may abort if she feels "distress … associated with the unwanted child"—is so broad as to render the ban meaningless. That made the state a convenient location for Pendergraft to funnel late-term clients.
Pendergraft, now in his mid-50s, has a shady history. Florida has suspended Pendergraft's medical license four times for improper medical practices, including performing a third-trimester abortion illegally. In April Florida's Department of Health filed a complaint against Pendergraft for his failure to pay $122,303 in disciplinary fines from the state medical board. In 2005 WORLD reported how, according to staff and clients at Pendergraft's Florida abortion centers, women sometimes delivered live babies into toilets following incomplete abortions (see "Death by drowning," June 18, 2005).
The Maryland State Board of Physicians investigated Pendergraft's Forestville activities after Operation Rescue submitted its undercover findings. Since Pendergraft wasn't licensed in Maryland, the board merely shooed him out of the state. It also suspended the license of his partner Alexander in August for illegally shredding medical records, making sexually inappropriate remarks to female patients, providing unprofessional medical care, and prescribing Viagra to friends.
What happens during a late-term abortion? Ask Anthony Levatino, an OB-GYN from Las Cruces, N.M., who from 1981 to 1985 performed 1,200 abortions, over 100 of them second-trimester D&E's—dilation and evacuations. Last May, during a U.S. House of Representatives hearing on the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, Levatino—now an advocate for the unborn—described what he used to do.
He held up a "Sopher clamp"—stainless steel forceps about 13 inches long—and invited House members to imagine themselves performing the procedure: "You introduce this instrument blindly, and start pulling off limbs. Feel yourself grabbing and pulling hard—and I do mean hard—and out pops an arm about that long." Levatino held a thumb and finger about 4 inches apart.
The difficult part, he said, is extracting the head, about the size of a plum. Levatino grabbed his fist with the forceps to illustrate: "You know you did it right if you crush down and white material runs out of the cervix. That was the baby's brains."
The doctor peered over his glasses. "If you think that doesn't hurt, if you believe that isn't an agony for this child, please think again."
In spite of Levatino's vivid testimony, the House, in a 220-154 vote on July 31, failed to win a two-thirds majority needed to pass the bill, which would have banned most abortions in the District of Columbia at 20 weeks post-fertilization. Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., said the bill represented a conservative "war on women," and the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) argued that medical science suggests fetal perception of pain is unlikely before the third trimester.
Colleen Malloy, a neonatology professor at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, says that's preposterous. She told me last month that neonatal intensive care staffers, who care for preemies as young as 22 weeks gestation, see the babies react to the prick of an IV needle. Malloy said one study showed an unborn child's stress hormones rising significantly when doctors draw blood from the baby's liver, in utero, for medical purposes: "The baby's flinching and moving, and kind of wincing. … How could anyone say that baby is not feeling pain?"
Malloy said a study published in 2005 in the Journal of the American Medical Association claims fetuses under 29 weeks don't feel pain. One of the study's authors, Eleanor Drey, is an abortion center director at San Francisco General Hospital, but she did not disclose to journal editors her conflict of interest. ACOG and other opponents of fetal pain laws cited that study, but several neurology experts disputed its conclusion.
Nebraska in 2010 became the first state to outlaw late-term abortions on the grounds that the baby can feel pain after a certain point in its development. Today, nine states have passed laws banning abortion at 18 or 20 weeks post-fertilization, based on the fetal pain argument. (In all, 41 states limit abortions after "viability" or a specific gestational age, with various exceptions for the life or health of the mother.) Texas Right to Life director Elizabeth Graham recently said she was optimistic her state would pass a fetal pain law in 2013.
The American Civil Liberties Union has sued to overturn new late-term laws in Georgia and Arizona. Late in December a state judge blocked Georgia's law, and Arizona's law is also on hold while a federal appeals court considers whether it encroaches on women's Roe v. Wade rights, as the ACLU argues. The ban in Arizona is stricter than those in most states because it prohibits most abortions starting at 18 weeks post-fertilization.
Pro-life forces won a landmark victory in 2003, when lawmakers in Washington, D.C., passed a national partial-birth abortion ban. Under the law, abortionists face a two-year prison sentence for suctioning out a baby's brains during birth, unless the mother's life is in danger.
The law has scared some abortionists into ensuring the baby is dead on arrival. After the ban took effect in 2007, following a series of court challenges, The Boston Globe reported that some hospitals had added a protocol to their abortion procedures as a precaution against accidental live births. The protocol was an injection of lethal drugs, digoxin or potassium chloride, into the fetal heart. (After that, another dose of drugs, given to the mother, starts contractions to expel the dead child.)
Abortion proponents say late-term procedures like these are "rare." According to the most recent estimate from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2009 just 1.3 percent of abortions occurred later than 20 weeks following the mother's last menstrual period. But that "small" percentage is less comfortable after multiplication: Assuming 1.2 million abortions took place in the United States that year, around 15,600 must have occurred after 20 weeks. Forty-three per day.
James Scott Pendergraft currently oversees five abortion centers in Florida, where his medical license is under probation. He is no longer working in association with any doctor's office in Maryland—or so the Maryland medical board last year informed Operation Rescue.
An inquiry from WORLD, though, suggests Pendergraft is still arranging late-term abortions in the Washington, D.C., area through his website, LateTermAbortion.net. When I asked Pendergraft by email where he refers website clients, he responded from a BlackBerry: "Regarding our referral offices in the D.C. area, we do not disclose their locations due to harassment and intimidation from pro-life groups and a host of others."
Late-term abortionists find certain states more hospitable for performing their work, either because they have no restrictions on late-term procedures, like Colorado and New Mexico, or because they offer cavernous loopholes for the health of the mother, like Maryland. For example, abortionist LeRoy Carhart, a former associate of George Tiller, moved to Maryland from Nebraska after the latter state passed its fetal pain law.
In a Google search for "late-term abortion," the Wikipedia entry comes first—and Pendergraft's website is second. —D.J.D.
I've never understood the relativity of measuring the abortion time-line on the pain factor. Regardless if the fetus can or cannot feel pain, it's still murder.
My heart grieves. How anyone could do such a horrific crime to a precious child innocent of any crime which might merit CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
"Dilation and evacuations"..........This can also involves puncturing the infant's skill to vacuum out the contents. I shudder thinking about the hideous evil of this. Shades of Josef Mengele.

Sterling signs new Liverpool deal
The 18-year-old has signed a long-term contract with the Reds and expressed his delight at fulfilling a "dream", while manager Brendan Rodgers has hailed it as a "fantastic" moment
have confirmed that 18-year-old winger
Raheem Sterling
has signed a new long-term contract with the club.
Earlier this week,
exclusively revealed that Sterling was on the brink of signing a five-year-deal
with the Reds.
And Liverpool have today confirmed that the talented youngster has pledged his future to the Merseyside club.
Sterling told the club's official website: "It's every 18-year-old's dream. I'm just really grateful to be at such a big club like this.
"There's a lot more to be done. I haven't begun yet, as the manager has said. Hopefully I can kick on after the New Year and try to do my best for the team and the football club."
Sterling was signed from QPR in 2010 for an initial fee believed to be around £500,000 and has since gone on to become a first-team regular at Anfield.
Having chalked up 25 appearances so far this term, Sterling's form was impressive enough to earn him his first international call-up for Roy Hodgson's England side in November.
Managing director Ian Ayre said: "This is another positive step forward for the football club in securing the long-term future of one of the country's brightest young talents.
"The negotiations were very positive and both parties acted in a very responsible way to reach an outcome that benefits both Raheem and Liverpool FC."
Meanwhile, Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has revealed that the young starlet still has a long way to go at the club, despite his promising start.
"I always congratulate players when they sign a new contract and then I warn them," Rodgers told reporters.
"I tell them they need to decide after this contract whether there is going to be another contract at one of the biggest clubs in the world or whether it will be at a different level. They can't rely on this contract and I make sure they know that.
"He has been rewarded as a young player who, at 18 years of age, has come in and performed very well. He will never be elevated above his position here at the club, but he has been rightly rewarded and it is fantastic for the football club."

Brandon Marshall is headed for more surgery on his hip.
Michael C. Wright of ESPNChicago.com reported Tuesday that the Chicago Bears wide receiver will undergo an arthroscopic procedure early next week. A source told Wright the surgery is "nothing" and should only keep Marshall out of action approximately two weeks.
This will be Marshall's third hip surgery in the past four years. He had a right hip procedure in 2010 and a left hip procedure in 2009. It's unknown which hip needs to be repaired this time.
Marshall is coming off his most productive NFL season ever. He set career-highs with 118 receptions for 1,508 yards and added 11 touchdowns in his first season with the Bears.
It's a safe assumption that Marshall's surgery will preclude him from defending his Pro Bowl MVP award later this month. Marshall caught four touchdown passes in stealing the show at the Aloha Bowl last season.

Gaddafi travels with blonde nurse
Veteran Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi fears flying over water, prefers staying on the ground floor and almost never travels without his trusted Ukrainian nurse, a "voluptuous blonde", according to US documents released on Sunday by WikiLeaks.
Gaddafi's eccentric and unpredictable personality are on full display in a State Department cable, which was posted on the New York Times website, a small sampling of the more than 250,00 documents unveiled by WikiLeaks on Sunday despite Washington's protests.
The cable from September 2009 describes how Gaddafi's preferences for shorter flights and accommodation on the ground floor created logistical headaches for his staff, and that the Libyan leader never travelled without a certain Ukrainian nurse at his side.
Gaddafi had a team of nurses and "relies heavily on his long-time Ukrainian nurse, Galyna Kolotnytska, who has been described as a 'voluptuous blonde'," said a secret cable from the Tripoli embassy dated September 29, 2009.
One source, whose name was blacked out by the Times, tells the US embassy that Gaddafi cannot travel without Kolotnytska, "as she alone 'knows his routine'," it said.
"Some embassy contacts have claimed that Gaddafi and the 38 year-old Kolotnytska have a romantic relationship," it said.
"While he did not comment on such rumours, a Ukrainian political officer recently confirmed that the Ukrainian nurses 'travel everywhere with the Leader'."
The cable was written after US officials had discussed arrangements for the Libyan leader's visit to New York last year to address the UN General Assembly.
After the nurse's travel paperwork was delayed, the Libyan government arranged a private jet to fetch her so she could join Gaddafi and his entourage in Portugal, where the leader spent the night en route to New York, according to the document.
During his visit, his first to the United States, Gaddafi was not allowed to set up his customary tent in Manhattan or to visit the site of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Centre.
According to other documents cited by the New York Times which were not posted on the paper's website, Gaddafi was so angered by his reception in New York that he threatened to break a pledge to return enriched uranium to Russia.
The US ambassador to Libya told the leader's son "that the Libyan government had chosen a very dangerous venue to express its pique", said the cable, quoted by the Times.
The September 29 cable said Gaddafi is "almost obsessively dependent on a small core of trusted personnel" who handle every detail.
The leader's "dislike of long flights and apparent fear of flying over water also caused logistical headaches for his staff" prior to the New York visit, the document said.
For his US trip, Gaddafi flew to Portugal and stayed the night, as a source said he "cannot fly more than eight hours" and that Gaddafi "does not like to fly over water".
US diplomats were also told that Gaddafi "must stay on the first floor of any facility that was rented for him" and that the leader "could not climb more than 35 steps".
This was the reason why Libyan officials chose an official residence in New Jersey as the preferred place for Gaddafi to stay during his US visit, instead of a Libyan diplomat's home in Manhattan, it said.
Although he had his Ukrainian nurse close at hand, Gaddafi did not bring his famed all-women guard unit with him to New York, and instead had only one female guard in a 350-member delegation, it said.

mandible necessitava di un nuovo design di banner pubblicitario e ha lanciato un contest su 99designs.
È stato scelto un vincitore tra 20 design presentati da 5 designer.
I am an independent filmmaker self-distributing my horror film exclusively online. I plan to start advertising using Google display ads and then move onto other ad networks.
I am passionate about film making specifically horror films. I raised a budget of 1.2M to make this film so it has very good production value.
I have been ripped off by film distributors with my first film and do not want to go down that path again that's why I am doing it independently online and need some awesome banner ads designed that will appeal to horror fans out there.
Horror and cult indie film fans who are primarily Male and aged between 19 to 45 years of age. This audience are passionate about their horror and are always looking for a horror film that is different new and something they will recommend to other horror fans and add to their collection.
They like films such as The Exorcist, Halloween, The Howling, Hostel, The Evil Dead, Saw and Day of The Dead just to name a few main ones.
I need 5 banner designs each of a different size.
I will use these in Google Display Ad network and then other networks such as Yahoo.
Google sizes are slightly different to Yahoo so I need you to allow for a 'Safe Area' so I can re-size in Photoshop for Yahoo.
Wide Skyscraper: 160px X 600px is standard for Yahoo But... 160px X 598px is the size for Google. This is because Google adds a "Ads by Google" sign at the base of every banner ad so if I don't change the size of the banner for their network Google will automatically squash the banner to fit distorting the ad a little.
So I need the following sized ads:
160px X 600px (Google Safe Area: 160px X 598px)
728px X 90px (Google Safe Area: 728px X 79px)
120px X 600px (Google Safe Area: 120px X 598px)
336px X 280px (Google Safe Area: 336px X 269px)
300px X 250px (Google Safe Area: 300px X 239px)
All ads will need to be 72ppi
I would like to see some examples of animated banner ads as well so to grab attention and get the message across.
I have attached a range of photos from the film that you can use or draw some inspiration from.
For more information about the film you can visit the website http://www.thegatesofhellmovie.com and checkout the trailer and the synopsis.
