Working With Torquay Utd Football Club
We have worked with many well known businesses and organisations, including Torquay Utd FC. We supplied Torquay Utd with two new portable buildings, customised as changing rooms and treatment rooms that complied with the Football League guidelines.
Torquay Utd were redeveloping a stand at their Plainmoor ground and required a new changing room unit to replace their old building.
The new solution had to comply with the Football League guidelines and be:
- Durable
- Water tight
- Secure
- Cost effective
It had to be large enough to function as a changing room for the home and away teams and serve as a treatment room.
Torquay Utd discussed their requirement with several suppliers and chose Dainton because of our competitive prices and expertise.
Our experienced and friendly staff were able to offer advice and assistance from start to finish. We recommended two new 40' x 12' plastic coated steel portable buildings, customised to meet their requirements.
We worked closely with Torquay Utd to define how the buildings would be customised. Once the specifications were agreed, floor plans were drawn up and signed off by both parties.
This consultation process ensured Torquay Utd got the portable building solution they required.
We supplied Torquay Utd with portable buildings that were fitted with:
- Boilers and plumbing for showers, sinks and toilets
- Partition walls to create separate changing room and treatment areas
- Non-slip flooring
- uPVC windows
- High density insulation
- Lighting and power sockets
We delivered the units on an articulated lorry and organised for the Police to escort the wide load. We provided a crane to unload the units and position them in place. The units were then connected to the water and electricity services.
Dainton's Storage Containers Score A Hat Trick With Football Clubs!
Dainton storage containers offer football clubs protection for equipment with security options such as lock boxes to prevent forced entry and moisture treatments to prevent condensation and damp. Our transport services will deliver and unload the container for you, even to the most challenging locations.
There are a hat trick of reasons to choose Dainton when buying an on-site storage solution:
- We won't be beaten on price! We are so confident of our prices we offer a price match promise – call 01626 833875 for details and to test our prices.
- Quality containers - all our containers are robust, durable and watertight with a variety of sizes and colours available with used containers refurbished to a high standard.

If i run my app for the first time, it will freeze on the splash screen. after that i must force close the app and open it again and it will run smoothly. What the loading progress for? because it look like the progress bar already in 100% but it will not go to home screen.
Hello Ervin. Does this problem happen in a new, fresh and empty mobile application? Just create a new one and try it out.
The progress bar is controlled by a block called ApplicationLoadEvents that is used in the Splash screen, together with a few events. There is an event called OnLoadComplete that is triggered when the progress reaches 100%. Please make sure that this event is being handled and ends up in a redirect.
Hi Leonardo,
Sorry for the late reply...
The problem didn't happened in a new fresh and empty mobile application. It only happen in this App.
After looking at the logMessage, i've found that Percentage value never reach 100 and it stuck in 99. Why is this happening?
Could it be that your app uses something very large? Perhaps a big image, or a big javascript library? These files would be downloaded while the app is on the splash screen, and if they took too long you could think that the app is stuck.
Hi leonardo, at first our app's size is 30 mb. After deleting image, Excel Data, Bootstraps, and Timer, the app size become 10 mb. But the problem still occur.
Hello Ervin. Is that the size of the app package that you install on the device? Or the size of the OutSystems module when you save it to disk in Service Studio?
Did you check if there's any error logged in Service Center?
Another thing that might be happening is that an offline synchronisation might be taking too long. You can turn off the synchronization and repeat your test to verify if that's the case. Take a look into this article, as it describes how you can turn off the sync on login (it's on step 4).
Hi Leonardo, that is the size of the OutSystems module. In my device, after install it, the size become 16 mb.
There's no error in Service Center. The weird thing that i notice's the percentage never reach 100 even after i waited for 5-7 minute.
As for the synchronization, our app already turn off the synchronization from the beginning.
Another update information,if i run the app using Outsystem now app, it will run smoothly. The problem only occur if i run the app using the native app package.
Hello Ervin. Your case seems tough :)
Can you create a support case, or at least share this app (even if privately by sending me a message)? I think that would be easier to troubleshoot.

Blender 2.5 has been slowly progressing, as more developers start focusing on bug fixing, and well rounding, instead of Sintel (which has enjoy lots of success). Blender 2.55 beta was released on November 4th, and continues to build on Blender's ever growing series of betas. Despite the seemingly never ending cycle, progress is being made. Hundreds of bug fixes have been made, in fact during the last month more than 300 bugs reports were closed. However there are still bugs in the program, and so about the same number have bugs have been reported. Still if you check out Letwory Interactive, which publishes status updates on the development of Blender, it would appear that we are starting to close more bugs then are being reported. According to the developers, we could be expecting the final release somewhere in the next three to five months.
Also having to do with Blender development is a cool post made over at BlenderGuru.
Andrew Price recently made an almost hour long presentation at the Blender Conference 2010, and now he has posted it as a video on the web. He also summed it up, for all of us who don't like watching 50 minute-long videos on the internet, as a series of photographs and short summaries on the same page. It is a very interesting summary of what Blender could do better, especially on it's website, as well as cointaing a gold mine of statistics about the Blender community. During the presentation he finally released the results of a large survey that he took a couple months ago, which was very interesting to look at.
So Blender development is continuing, and we are all looking forward to the great Blender 2.6 release, however if you want to start warming to it now, go download the latest Blender beta, and also feel free to help out Blender development by submitting more bug reports at Blender Projects (you will need to make an account there first though).

When I prepared to go onto the mission field, my mind often went through all the things that I may have to do. Helping people with their crops, teaching seminary students in Arica, or helping lead discipleship studies with the rural Aymara people were the common scenarios that crossed my mind, but of all the things that I thought about the one thing that never occurred to me was how important it could be to show my weakness, but that lesson was thrust upon me yesterday.
We left at about 9:15 in the morning heading up to the Altiplano to visit the villages of Chapiquiña, Belen, and Lupica. It is about a 3-4 hour drive that goes from sea level to over 11,000 feet elevation. To say this trip is a little extreme is to put things a little lightly.
On the way there I drove a large portion of the trip in one of the church member's SUVs. I was nervous at the outset; I don't normally drive stick-shift. In all honesty, and with as much humility as I can muster, the trip went very well; I didn't stall the car once! Since this was only my second time driving up the Andes in a manual I thought that was quite the achievement.
All these pat-myself-on-the-back feelings soon came crashing to the ground, however, when we were standing with an Aymara family in their house. I suddenly began to feel awful; at once I was hot and cold all over, and I was overcome with nausea. After a few moments I lost my ability to hear clearly and began hearing a high whistle. At this point my vision began to blur. I reached over and grabbed Bekah's arm, "Honey, I'm going to pass out."
At this point Bekah ushered me to a concrete seat outside this humble house and told Marcelo that I felt ice cold. He said my blood pressure must have dropped. He asked people we were meeting with if they had anything, and they offered me mate: an herbal tea known among the Aymara for its ability to cure altitude sickness. In some areas the tea is made of coca leaves; here it was made of what I think was called chatacoma (in my defense: if the name is wrong I wasn't entirely clear minded.)
As I sat there sipping the mate while trying to keep my head down between my knees I kept thinking about how weak I must appear to these people who spend every day herding their flocks and sowing their crops at this altitude. What kind of ministry can be done like this, out of weakness? Then, however, I thought about the fact that I was feeling better; the mate was working! I was learning a little portion of their culture and their wisdom.
I thought a little more about it, and I realized that perhaps weakness is one of the primary ways for us to minister to those around us. Since it is Christmas week, my mind went first to the example of Christ who, in coming to minister to us, took on the form of weakness and lived among us. It was through becoming one of us that we could trust him and learn from him.
Maybe, just maybe, by my getting sick and having to be treated by them, I've learned just a slice of their hard life. Perhaps by my being on the receiving end of their help, they may be more receptive to any small bit of help I hope to offer in the future. So as we celebrate Christmas this weekend, let's remember the way that Christ came in weakness in order to minister to us. Then may we begin to think in the ways in which we can embrace our weakness so that others can embrace the help that can only come from God.

(On Smashwords, and on Blender market)
In the last couple of year I have created numerous add-ons and while researching and developing these add-ons I encountered all sorts of different issues that where not always very straightforward to solve.
Blender has of course extensive documentation on its Python API and a helpful community as well but sometimes it nevertheless took quite some time to figure something out.
So I decided to document these issues and bundle then into this book, where you will find quite a collection of solutions to commonly occurring issues. Some are obvious once you see and understand them, others showcase subtleties that often prove to cause trouble in unexpected places if you are not aware of them.
I have done my best to provide not just solutions but accompany them with detailed explanations as well. Also, where appropriate I have included references to all sorts of documentation, often the most relevant spot in the Blender Python API docs, just to save you from an endless hunt for the right information. An index of terms is also provided.
Who is this book for?
This book is for add-on developers who want to go one step further and add a professional touch to their creations or want to add functionality that isn't so straightforward to implement.
You should have a good understanding of Python and have some knowledge of writing Blender add-ons already. This is a cookbook in the sense that it provides small pieces of code that are aimed at solving a particular problem but if you want a more general introduction you could consider my book Creating add-ons for Blender.
Currently the book is in post production. A sample (PDF) is already available: Sample Blender Add-on Cookbook – Michel Anders
The book will be available from BlenderMarket and Smashwords early spring 2017.

I'll need to store this board folded/rolled up.
I have a good set at home, but I want to bring a cheap set to school, and keep it in my locker. Most likely it will be really beat up in a year, but that's why I want to get a cheap go set.

A proactive sampling program
TRWD has had an active water quality program since 1990 and each lake is sampled continuously at multiple sites for various parameters on the district's four lakes: Bridgeport, Eagle Mountain, Cedar Creek and Richland-Chambers. Water quality sampling is also performed at Lake Worth, Lake Arlington and Benbrook Lake. The program is designed to provide information to assess the lakes for meeting their intended uses, such as water supply, fish and wildlife habitat and contact recreation.

Quick Hits: WWE Extreme Rules 2017
Justin C here. As usual, I joined the preshow match in progress. Looks like Titus O'Neil may have cost Apollo Crews his match, accidentally of course. The Titus Brand may have taken a hit.
Intercontinental Championship: Dean Ambrose (c) vs Miz w/Maryse- If Dean Ambrose is DQ'd, He Loses the IC Title
-Again, this match should end immediately after the bell with Maryse slapping Miz and Ambrose getting DQ'd.
-Miz tries to get Ambrose to lose it early on with some cheap shots in the corner but the ref is able to back him off.
-Ambrose hits his dive to the outside. Ambrose grabs a chair but the ref runs out to stop him. Miz tries using the chair with the ref distracted but Ambrose grabs the chair. The ref turns around to stop him.
-Miz kicks the legs out from Ambrose on the apron and DDT's him on it.
-Miz gets control and slows down the match a bit.
-Now that Miz is off Smackdown his matches just seem boring.
-Miz gets sent to the outside. Ambrose jumps from the top with an elbow.
-Ambrose goes for a sunset flip pin but Miz rolls through and applies a Figure Four. Ambrose eventually gets to the bottom rope.
-Ambrose goes for a powerbomb from the corner. Miz pulls off the top turnbuckle. Miz escapes. Ambrose goes to put Miz into the exposed corner but the ref stops him and Miz lands a kick.
-Ambrose ducks the last Miz kick and applies a Figure Four of his own. He also eventually gets to the ropes.
-Maryse gets on the apron. Miz almost hits her but avoids it. Miz tells Maryse to slap him. She does. But the ref doesn't buy it and tosses Maryse.
-Maryse comes back. Miz tosses Ambrose into the ref. The ref turns around and walks around the outside ready to DQ Ambrose. Miz hits the Skull Crushing Finale for the win.
WINNER and NEW Intercontinental Champion: The Miz- What a jumbled mess. The weird stipulation in this match just made things stupid. I can't get into Miz matches anymore. He had real heat on Smackdown and it is all gone now. Average match at best.
Noam Dar and Alicia FAAAAUUUXXXX vs Rich Swann and Sasha Banks
-Baltimore is Rich Swann's hometown so you already know he is losing.
-Dar goes to the top early but Swann jumps up and gives him a hurricarrana.
-Sasha comes in so her and Alicia exchange some blows. Sasha applies the Banks Statement but Dar eventually drags Fox's leg to the bottom rope.
-Fox misses a kick in the corner and the guys get tagged in and Swann goes to work.
-Swann takes out Dar. Fox tries to come in but Sasha takes her out.
-Sasha tries to hit the double knees from the top on Alicia but Dar moves her. So Sasha hits it on Dar. Swann then hits a Phoenix Splash for the win.
WINNERS: Rich Swann and Sasha Banks- Okay action. I guess Vince doesn't care enough about the Cruiserweights to know about their hometown.
-The Drifter comes in and sings a song about Baltimore being awful. He is great and I will hear nothing to the contrary.
Kendo Stick On A Pole Match For The RAW Women's Championship: Alexa Bliss (c) vs Bayley
-They go for the kendo stick early. It falls. Action goes to the outside where Bayley slams Alexa into the barricade.
-Bayley chases Alexa with the stick. Bayley backs Alexa into the corner. She for some reason hesitates so Alexa tackles her then uses it.
-Bayley hits a Bayley to Belly but sells her back. Alexa then shoves Bayley into the kendo stick.
-Alexa then uses the stick again then hits a DDT for the win.
WINNER and STILL RAW Women's Champion: Alexa Bliss- First off that was really short. Secondly, that was almost a complete burial of Bayley. Where the hell does she go from here?
Steel Cage Match For The RAW Tag Team Championship: The Hardy Boyz (c) vs Sheamus & Cesaro
-Sheamus and Cesaro try to escape right after the bell. You can only win when both team members escape the cage.
-Matt and Jeff slam the heads of Sheamus and Cesaro into the cage at the same time.
-Sheamus powerbombs Jeff off the ropes along with Cesaro. But Matt catches Cesaro with an elbow drop on the ground.
-SheCesaro slam the Hardyz into the cage this time.
-All four men go to the top of the cage. Cesaro grabs Jeff and holds him by his arm but Jeff eventually escapes and gets to the floor.
-Jeff tries helping Matt out but Sheamus knocks Jeff off the cage then SheCesaro powerbomb Matt.
-Matt hits a Side Effect and Twist of Fate. He tries escaping but the heels get up. Sheamus ends up hitting White Noise off the ropes.
-Jeff comes in and hits the Whisper of the Wind off the top of the cage.
-Apparently Jeff has to re-escape the cage now. Matt tries dragging Jeff out while Sheamus and Cesaro climb over and get out first.
WINNERS and NEW RAW Tag Team Champions: Sheamus and Cesaro- Another just okay match. Matt is about to be a dad again so maybe they are getting a couple of weeks off. There is pretty much no one else in the tag division treated as a real threat so maybe that is why Sheamus and Cesaro won the Titles again.
Submission Match For The Cruiswerweight Championship: Neville (c) vs Austin Aries

WINNER and NEW #1 Contender for the Universal Title: Samoa Joe– Let it be known that I called this from the second this match was made. It was your typical multi man match with multiple guys taking rests at once. The last couple minutes were exciting. But it was a decent ending to a lackluster show.
Until Next Time,

Monarch Pass Snowmobile Area
The 6th most popular snowmobile trail in Colorado.
Friday 6 April 2018 03:26 GMT
West of Salida, the Monarch Pass snowmobiling area has hundreds of miles of groomed and ungroomed terrain. Look for a snowmobile trailhead for the Monarch Pass Snowmobile Area at Old Monarch Pass.
For nightlife in Salida, check out Victoria Tavern.
All snowmobiles operating on federal lands within Colorado including the Monarch Pass snowmobiling area are required to be registered with Colorado State Parks. This registration permit is available at most National Forest ranger offices and at some chamber of commerce offices. It is highly recommended to purchase the $3 annual Colorado Search And Rescue Card (CORSAR) prior to snowmobiling to help reimburse local search teams should they be needed.
Overall, Monarch Pass Snowmobile Area is the 6th most popular snowmobile trail of all 24 snowmobiling rides in Colorado.

Please, note that everything you read below is just my personal opinion. I do not know everything. Nor would I want to. Please also keep in mind, I do not Promote, Support, or Respond to Negative Commentary.
The following character | is used to separate book from series. It will be in a bright green color.
–The Hunger Games | The Hunger Games Series. Suzanne Collins.
Times Read:
-2. For both. Oh, HERE is a funny picture I found while Looking for a banner for this review. I posted it on my facebook for easy access!
-Utopia. Dystopia. Adventure. Action. Suspense. Page Turner. Turmoil. Young Adult. Young Adult Fiction. Fiction Science Fiction.
-9/10 | 8/10
Age Range:
-Author(s) Suggest: 11-13 | 9-15
-My Opinion: No. Hell no. 14+ for BOTH. Answer me this, Would you really want to have your 9-year-old child read a book that says it's ok to kill those around you for food?! I sure wouldn't. Heck, everyone else may be ok with that, But I think it's wrong. But what do I know? I've just been reading for 19 years. 乁( ⁰͡ Ĺ̯ ⁰͡ ) ㄏ
Basic Review:
-What happens at the end of the World? Nothing. And that is where we were headed at the end of WW3. However, a miracle happened. With nothing left, some revolutionary humans came up with an idea. To rebuild the world. And to build their new Utopia on the remains of the battleground. Their capital is in the once beautiful Rocky Mountains. How will they live their new lives? By indulging in their own perfections, and by enjoying games. Now, many years later, a young girl by the name of Katniss is hunting a deer in the forest. She is the best hunter that there has been in her district. Little does she know that the Hunter will soon become the Hunted. Who can she trust? Will it be the boy that threw bread at her? Who will betray her? Her mentor? And can she afford to lose it? Or will it be the end of everything if she does?
Long Review:
-In my freshman year of high school, a teacher saw me sitting on the stairway steps just waiting for class to start. This was just a month into my freshman year. To be honest, I have almost always been that way. Even now in College. I don't run off to my locker to hang. I go from class to class and just wait. She was an English teach. Now, I never did have her as a teacher. But, she gave me something more meaningful that another English class. It was her Hunger Games series. I read through those books in just under 2 weeks. This was before the movies came out by the way. Granted, it wasn't that long of a wait. August '11 is when I both started and finished these books. The first movie came out in march of '12. When I got to the third book I was craving what was going to happen. However, I had no idea what was coming. The first time I read it I wasn't fazed. In my Junior year, i re-read the entire series. I didn't even want to finish the third book. I did, but I didn't want to.
The hunger games. Really is the best name ever given to a game. What does it mean? It means that you fight for your district. You make friendships and then betray those friends. All in order to get food for a year for your district. And how do you betray them? By murdering them in cold blood.
So what happened? Well, it is after the events of the third World War. The only Continent that still had useable ground was North America. So the new civilization was set up here. What do I mean by useable ground? Let me put it into the perspective that I saw. Does anyone here remember the story of Chernobyl? A nuclear power plant exploded there. The ground is so radioactive that it will not be useable for the next 10,000 years. Want me to put that number in perspective for you? Humans have only been on this earth for 30,000 years. We truly Screwed up on that one! Sorry, Review…
Now these districts. I imagine them to be a lot like the concentration camps that Hitler used. Quick fact! I am 50% German. I tend to use the word "Da" a lot. I thought that it mean Yes. I learned just a few minutes ago that it actually means There. the word "Ja" actually means Yes. However, you say them the same way. (I learned that from Jason Bourne. Lol). In german, the word Konzentrationslager is used. It means, (you guessed it!) concentration camp. What was the name of the worst one? Oh yeah, Auschwitz. Though, There are no gas chambers there. Just guards that will kill you if you step outside the walls. Which Katniss did almost every day so that she and her little sister could live. We learn later in the series that not all the districts are like this, though. 11 and 12 are the worst ones. And going to the games is the most dreaded thing ever. Death is better. Especially since 11 and 12 NEVER win the games. 1 and 2 are the most wealthy. In fact, the children there are trained for the games. Their most valiant warriors get to go to the games. Every. Single. Year.
Now the capital. It is just like every country's capital. Someplace that is significant. The capital in the united states is Washington D.C. In Colorado, Where I live, our capital is Denver. In the books, the new capital is the rocky mountains located in Colorado. Yes, I know that the Rockies span more than just one state. But the most beautiful of the range is located in my backyard! Now I know that this is not the review but bear with me. Please!! … Now I know that this is probably just a few seconds for you, but I'm 20 minutes into the future and I have lost my train of thought… So, I'm going to move to the next subject.
By looking at the title you already know that this is both a book and series review. However, it was right here that I decided to make it a dual review. Once again.
Katniss. How did she end up in the games? Well, she volunteered to make sure that her sister, Prim, wouldn't go and die. So she sacrificed her life for her sister's life. Quick fact! Katniss is a type of Flower. Primrose is also a type of Flower. The girl who played Prim is named Willow Shields. Willow is a type of tree. Just thought that was Really funny!! That Director/producer sure has a sense of humor! Volunteering as Tribute NEVER happens. Unless you are in the rich districts. But this shows you how willing she is to die for her sister. Now her sister, she doesn't make it in the long run. But at least she lasts through two books!
Now I'll be completely Honest. I have not watched the second, third and fourth movies. They seemed to be extremely DARK. (LOL). <- Cause they in Theaters! Anyone? No? …. Fine. But I am serious. The movies really ruined the books for me. Well, the one movie ruined the series for me. Since I only saw the one.
Peeta. Also known as the boy with the bread. It's funny cause his name IS a bread!! The Author had a lot of fun coming up with the names for all the characters. Now, I'm not sure if you know this, but the boy with the bread and the girl on fire end up together! Granted, they get separated in book 2 and don't reunite until book 3. When he's trying to kill her…. I guess that's love?!
No. It isn't love. What happened is that his brain was broken. And he was forced to see everything in a different way. As such, anyone that was his friend is now his sworn enemy. And the one he has to kill to get a clear head? Katniss. Though, I'm sure once he realized he killed katniss he would've taken his own life. Or that was the plan anyways.
Now, how did they end up together? Well, that is where book one is important. Now, you can go straight to book 3 and scratch your head cause you have no idea what is going on. I will not stop you. Nor could I even if I wanted to. The Hunger Games is set up to were only one person can survive. Even if you are from the same district, you have to kill them to survive. But katniss and Peeta (enemies at first) never intended on falling in love. That was when the hunger games became like a game to the people running it.
They made up a rule that two people from the same district could survive. As such, Peeta and katniss somehow make it to the final stage. As they wait for their names to be shown across the screens, something happens. The rule is broken. And only one person can survive. But what the guys in charge didn't expect to happen, katniss and Peeta decide to die together. By eating poisonous berries. Now if you are trying to make the games seems real, you cant let that one happen. So they yell and say never mind!! And that is how the wound up together.
Now, what is a mocking Jay? It is a crossbreed. Its a mix between the Mocking Bird (Which tends to squak back at you), and the Blue Jay. It is implied that Katniss is the mocking Jay. And in the third book, she is seen as the war hero. But her sister? Just another pawn.
During one of their Attacks, the medics are sent out to help the children. Prim is one of the medics. And then a bomb is dropped on all the medics and the children. I guess they were trying to show that they meant business and were ready to kill everyone. Even innocent children.
How does the series end? Katniss and Peeta are healing back in district 12. They are mentally scarred. They question everything. Even if they should be living while everyone else died. And if I remember correctly, they had a kid or two. Now I may be mistaken, but it has been a few years since I read it. 5 years? Cause t was late 2011, early 2012? That seems right.
Now then. What did this book do? Well, it started a new craze. All of a sudden, every book I was reading was like this. The most memorable series was Divergent. Which, I will do a review on next.
This review was supposed to go up on Saturday (1-14-17), but it wasn't ready to be published. However, now it is! I think I kinda rushed it at the end… But I'm on the train (1-17-17), and want to get this finished before I get to work. I hope you enjoyed!!
Would Recommend?
-Even though I can't personally read them anymore, Yes. I do recommend. Well, I can read them, but as I stated above, the Movies ruined the books. Maybe I'll pick them up again in a few months. Who knows?
Thanks for readin!

I made the tail! At last! And believe it or not, but expanding foam worked. For how long, though, nobody knows
So my method was a little convoluted, but for now I think it'll hold just fine. First, I covered the tail with duct tape because the foam was flaking and seemed incredibly unstable…and mostly because I didn't have the time or energy to paper mache it. I needed this done by Sunday, and paper mache would've added a lot of weight anyway!
Excuses aside, it turned out fine. I was wrapping it firmly in faux fur anyway, which I did successfully by hand sewing it all together.
I then marked out where the tail would rest on my belt, and then where the two 'straps' (two pieces of strong fabric) would extend from either side of the base of the tail and attach to the belt, essentially pulling the tail into position. It's hard to explain, but I'm trying my best here!
I used buttons on both sides of the attachments to make the whole thing sturdier with less force applied to the pieces (something I read online, many thanks!!).

The millennial demographic is one publishers often wonder about.

Becoming an ecommerce publisher continues to attract publishing executives looking for alternate revenue streams rooted in their content and niche audiences. Selling products isn't selling out; developing an ecommerce content strategy is an extension of multiplatform publishing.
Digital publishers already sell white papers and tickets to events; a food magazine selling recipe books or a fashion site selling shoes is the natural next step in internet revenue models for magazines, if you can pull off the infrastructure. Seeing how others are achieving just that is a good place to start.
Digital profits are what it's all about, right? This business is about results, not process, and with a business operating with a small margin of error, the more inroads publishers can make with digital, the better chance they have of staying competitive and rising to the top of a crowded field.
For us, digital ultimately comprises 90% of a successful publishing enterprise — from apps to online magazines to white papers to subscriptions and much more — and our mission revolves around helping magazines transition to a successful digital existence. Many Mequoda Members, though, are niche and regional magazines, with a few majors and general-interests thrown in.
So, in other words, when we hear that digital profits are driving one-third of a publisher's success, we're not surprised. But when we hear that digital profits are driving one-third of a legacy publisher like Hearst's success, we are surprised.
MediaPost has that scoop, plus some more news on native ads.
Native advertising trends will shape the digital publishing industry in 2016. For one, they represent a more elegant and modernized option for online magazines looking to generate revenue the old-fashioned way — that is, via marketing dollars — while flying relatively under the radar of those big, bad ad blocking defense systems.
Branded content has been gaining steam for a while, even if it just has a fancier name for advertorial. We've been watching closely, and so, too, has the Federal Trade Commission, of course. Now, finally, we have official guidelines from the FTC, just as the demand for native ad campaigns is reaching unprecedented levels.
AdAge covers that development and much more in several recent articles about native advertising trends.
They might not rival Major League Baseball's offseason hot stove of free agency and trades, but publishing deals at the end of 2015 are still making magazine industry news in a business that in recent years has seen only one constant: change.
In today's roundup, relayed from The Wall Street Journal's CMO Today, we've got one brand circling back on its content marketing strategy to produce a stronger magazine business model and another moving its digital content and operations to a leader of the "platisher" movement.
Meanwhile, Facebook, recently on a streak of publishing deals culminating in Instant Articles, reconsiders its own advertising revenue model as its partners register some early complaints.
If you're a mobile publisher trying to monetize an already challenging platform for digital magazines, no two words strike more fear into your heart than "ad blocking."
Ad blocking programs are not some flash in the pan gimmick that's fading with time; they're proliferating, and gaining in popularity with key demographics for audience development (ie, Millennials and other young consumers). How damaging a potential pitfall they are when it comes to digital ad revenue remains to be seen, but some in the mobile publisher market are bracing for a big hit. Others are biding their time, while still others are planning some blocking of their own, in the form of possible litigation.
But is it all a case of much "ad"-o about nothing?
The Wall Street Journal's CMO Today blog recently checked in with media companies about the wrath of ad blocking, and they also interviewed the head of the Interactive Advertising Bureau to find out his thoughts. Let's see what they had to say.
As MediaShift puts it, "what advertisers want from B2B media is solid leads on potential customers for their products and services."
Not so long ago, web and digital magazines were considered adjunct media—the consensus among publishers was that almost like ads, they would drive prospective subscribers to their print editions. In fact as readers struggled with flat, inflexible pdfs that served as copy, many did go running back to print.
Today, magazines are going digital at a gallop, keeping pace with legions of increasingly sophisticated web and mobile device users whose facility with the digital landscape is driving sales of iOS devices and tablets into the stratosphere. Digital media consumption on mobile devices has climbed from 18 minutes a day in 2008 to about 3 hours in 2015.
If you're a publisher, video must at least be on the periphery of your strategy, inching closer and closer to a prime position in your business approach. While you might not have the resources to partner with a major brand or produce full-fledged digital series as part of a channel, you can use platforms to diversify content and assemble serviceable video that will attract, retain, and convert audiences. In recent articles, Capital New York covers some industry trends in publisher video. In addition, there's some big executive news and some not-so-big executive news.
Nobody knows niche strategy like we do, which is why we love to see big-name legacy publishers adopting it and smaller, scrappier sites finding success with it. The same goes for content that can help you cultivate audiences across multiple devices – it's what we do! Digiday, always a reliable source for the latest industry trends, once again rings in with three stories on these very topics. Let's take a look.
Deft use of digital publishing platforms is a must for magazines looking to solidify their place in the industry. Thanks to astute observers like Talking New Media, we can monitor trends as they're taking shape. Here are five headlines from one of our favorite sources of information.
Any and all recent discussions about digital advertising trends – including this one – make mention of native advertising. Some publishers have embraced it, while others are wrestling with the ethics, implications, and logistics. In this roundup, we'll take a look at a potential solution for the latter group of publishers, as well as another example of the former. In between, we'll check in on what advertisers themselves are looking for from publishers and platforms when it comes to metrics. All three updates come from WSJ.com's excellent CMO Today blog.
Programmatic ads, which give brands the option for automated buys in place of more traditional human interaction and negotiation, occupy a growing segment when it comes to publishing revenue. But as popular as they are, some publishers are seeking to better capitalize on them in an effort to protect their share of the market.
After turning Atlantic Media into a global force to be reckoned with, Justin Smith now has his sights set on Bloomberg digital reigning supreme more than one year into his tenure and months into a radical redesign.
Is there a hotter trend in publishing than the in-house branded content agency? And what does this phenomenon mean for niche digital magazines?
Ken Doctor writes in a recent Nieman Lab post that the resurgence of email newsletters, among other trends often associated with the digital era, are actually longstanding practices that have been reshaped for multiplatform publishing. More to the point, Doctor says, digital publishers must find the right combination of tactics to succeed in the 21st century.
Native advertising on some of the most popular digital magazine sites in the world will be produced by Condé Nast editorial personnel, the Wall Street Journal reports.
With the launch of The Snug, a mobile-first aggregator site aimed at Millennials, Time Inc. digital continues its scramble to reestablish itself as a dominant publisher since it split with Time Warner in mid-2014.
Another major magazine is shaking up its staff, and it seems that the move may be to get more closely aligned with the evolving digital aspect of the publication.
Digital publishers have been focusing more attention on e-commerce as numerous revenue stream opportunities exist. This includes partnerships and sponsorships when applicable.
In case you don't remember, Self magazine, a major publication from Conde Nast, started to revamp itself earlier this year. This process began as Joyce Chang was brought on was the company's new editor in chief. Chang was formerly the executive editor of Cosmopolitan.
How many types of websites are there on the world wide web of sites?
At one time we were watching new ones popping up every day. But in the past few years, we've identified a solid nine subscription website archetypes for publishers to consider, depending on their business goals and their content. I've posted about all of the six premium (paid) models in the past few months.
Press+, a major supplier of paid content paywalls for U.S. sites, has been purchased by 3TS Capital Partners and will be joined with its paywall property Piano Media, reports Folio.
Time Inc.'s Fortune – which recently split online from CNNMoney.com – has named Alan Murray, formerly of the Pew Research Center and The Wall Street Journal, its new editor. Murray, who will succeed Andy Serwer, was recently interviewed by Ad Week, and he made it clear during the conversation that Fortune's focus will be on the magazine's digital presence.

A new study conducted by Oxford University has found that preparation before having contact with a stillborn baby, professional support during the contact, and professional follow-up are crucial to prevent the development of maternal mental health problems, and that giving parents an informed choice is also vital. The study also indicated that it may be appropriate for staff to recommend to parents that they consider having contact with their stillborn baby.
The study examined mums' experiences of spending time with their stillborn baby and how they felt later about their decisions around seeing and holding their baby. Sands advised on aspects of this study, which was carried out as part of the larger SAMMI (Stillbirth and Mental Health in Women) study.
Researchers recorded interviews with 21 mums who had seen their stillborn baby. Most had held their baby too. The study found that although it was extremely difficult at the time, spending time with their baby was a helpful experience and most women valued the time they had. Many also spoke about being able to share their experience with their partner and also with parents and members of their extended family. To involve those around them after the stillbirth was an important part of the process for some mothers.
An overview of the findings of the study can be found here . A second overview has been written specifically for the benefit of midwives and can be downloaded here. The study has also been published and can be read here www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2393/14/203.
The SAMMI team thanks all those who took part in the study.

Opinion: The ten years ago blues -- not!
In the song "Ten Years Ago," blues singer Buddy Guy laments, "Oh, I would like to go back 10 years." The thought of going back to 1995 is intriguing, as it was an interesting time in networking.
The 1995 networking world was vastly different than the one I support today. Instead of variations of Ethernet, my team had to support Ethernet, token-ring and bisynchronous networks. Our cabling infrastructure contained ThickNet and ThinNet coax cables, Type 1 shielded twisted-pair, Type 3 unshielded twisted-pair and twinax cabling. As part of our infrastructure support we installed the appropriate connectors, so our tool kits contained drills for ThickNet vampire taps, crimpers for RJ-45 connectors and channel locks for Type 1 connectors. We carried various punch-down tools, tone generators and yellow "banana probes" to support the phone connections.

Azim Hashim Premji is an Indian business tycoon and philanthropist, who is the Chairman of Wipro Limited. He was born on 24th July, 1945 in Mumbai, then part of British India. He took over the reign of his family run business at a young age of 21,due to the demise of his father M H Premji.He left engineering from Stanford University, California and entered into the business which dealt in hydrogenated oil manufacturing. The biggest hurdle before him was to win the confidence of the shareholders. Initially company moved from vanaspathi manufacturingto bakery fats, hair care soaps and lighting products. In 1975, Wipro Fluid Power business unit started manufacturing hydraulic cylinders and truck tippers. During 1980s, Premji' s clear vision and proper planning helped him in realising the importance of the emerging IT field and entered into the IT business by taking advantage of the expulsion of IBM from the Indian market.
It was Azim Premji' scommitment, determination, opportunity obsession, leadership qualities, ability to use failures as a way of learning and ability to adapt which helped him in guiding the company through four decades of diversification. He took the vegetable oil business to one of the largest IT service provider in the country called 'WIPRO'. A large percentage of company's revenue are generated from the IT division and net worth of company is US $ 15.3 billion as of 2014. Premji is an absolute workaholic and he believes that work is the only mantra to attain success and survival in a competitive world. Few secrets of his success are his perseverance coupled with knowledge, looking forward for applying thoughts and to reach the zenith of success and leadership.
In addition to the above qualities, one most important aspect of his life that need to be discussed is philanthropy. In 2001, Premji established the Azim Premji Foundation, a non-for-profit organisation with a vision to provide quality primary education to every child of the nation. The foundation became successful in reaching out to over 2.5 million children in more than 20000 schools across India. He also established University and multiple field level institutions to improve education and research. Premji is also known for making the largest donation in India in December 2010, by pledging to donate$2 billion for ameliorating school education in India.
Azim Premji even topped the Forbes list of "Richest Indians" from 1999 to 2005. Government of India also honoured him with the title of Padma Bhushan and Padma Vibhushan in 2005 and 2011 respectively. Thus, on the basis of the above facts I believe that Azim Premji is the greatest leader and philanthropist that India has ever got.

Iowa Mountaineers. The club purchased a new bus in June for hauling members and equipment on its week-end and summer outings. It was custom engineered to club specifications. The club was also fortunate in obtaining attractive office space in the new Activities Center in the Iowa Memorial Union on the University of Iowa campus. Twenty-two professional film-lectures were sponsored with an average of 530 attending. The annual banquet attracted 142 members from four states and was held in the well-appointed new ballroom of the Memorial Union.
Local and week-end outings attracted larger turnouts than in recent years. Fourteen climbing outings were held at the Mississippi Palisades Park in Illinois and at Devils Lake in Wisconsin, each outing attracting an average of 46 persons. Six Sunday hikes were sponsored with dinners at the famous Ox Yoke Inn at Amana and were followed with entertaining illustrated talks by members. One fall hike had 105 participants and a massive barbecue supper. Two summer outings were sponsored. A group of 10 veteran climbers led by John Ebert traveled to many major mountain areas in the Canadian Rockies and in our northwestern states. The principal peaks climbed included Edith Cavell, Athabasca, Mount Temple, Mount Eisenhower, Mount Rainier, Mount Heyburn, Grand Teton, and Devils Tower. Veteran Austrian mountaineers from Graz, Kurt Hofer and Hubert Schlapschi, joined both outings. The second summer outing was in the Beartooth Range of Montana. Base camp was located beside Bob Lake with approach from Cooke City. Eighty members attended what was probably the first major club outing held in this range. The major peaks ascended in the area included Ice Berg Peak, Mount Fox, Mount Zimmer, Granite Peak, Harvey's Spire, Scotch Bonnet, Mount Wilse, Wolf Mountain, Sheep Mountain, a first ascent of Scotch Peak, a second of Beartooth Peak, and a fifth of Index Peak. The 1967 summer outing will be held at Maligne Lake, Alberta, and an East African Expedition will be sponsored with the major objectives being the Ruwenzori in Uganda and Mounts Kilimanjaro (Tanganyika) and Kenya in Kenya.

Oct 25, 2017 - 3min read
In the Green Room we are talking to people at the forefront of the sustainable technology movement – finding out how sustainability has impacted their lives, and how they envision technology changing the world for the better.
We're kicking off the feature with our product director Steve Springett – the man selecting the products that will both halve our members' energy bills by 2022 and work together to efficiently power our home of the future.
He is extremely technically-minded and likes wearing bow ties.
Sure, it was just another nineties cartoon with a catchy theme tune but the message was important then and it's even more so now – climate change is real. Educating youngsters on this topic is so important as they're the ones who will have to live with the consequences. Fun, educational characters like Captain Planet and the Planeteers make sure kids understand the impact we're having on the world around us.
I live in a flat in London – so solar panels, a battery, or an electric vehicle aren't really options for me (though in the future I'd love to see more cool projects in our capital like the Brooklyn Microgrid). Kate (my other half) went veggie after she looked into the environmental impacts of mass meat farming. While I still have the occasional beef Sunday roast, any meat (and veg for that matter) that we eat at home is organic, sustainably grown and – where possible – locally sourced.
I'd imagine they're a popular choice – but that's sort of exactly the reason why. They're making profound statements about our renewable future, so people and businesses rally round them. If they pull off what they're trying to do with EVs, batteries, public transport, and all of the other stuff they're doing, our planet could be a lot better off for it. It also helps that they make it fun and exciting too; I test drove a Tesla recently and felt utterly giddy throughout.
Chatter within the energy industry is already in overdrive, but I think the uptake of home electricity storage by UK homeowners will take off and increase exponentially in the next few years. Batteries are great for a number of reasons (including reducing your electricity bills), but my main reason for liking them is that they'll totally transform our relationship with energy supply and the grid.
Smart Thermostats are a good example of a machine learning how we live our lives, then making the necessary changes for us. There are much more complex applications too, like sub-second home battery responses to help balance our national grid – which wouldn't be possible (or desirable) for us humans to do ourselves. That said, what would be a real shame is if AI takes over our energy management to the extent that we stop understanding the context of the energy choices being made on our behalf. Without that context, we might unintentionally exclude ourselves from further sustainability learning and innovation.
Instead of playing on games consoles, my sisters and I spent our time outdoors – playing in the snow, exploring the woods, making forts and so on. I think growing up in such a beautiful place has made me appreciate how amazing the natural world can be – so I guess I'm embracing tech a little later in life to make sure we keep it that way.
It's hardly criminal wanting to go on holiday, but you look at the stats in terms of how much fuel jet engines churn through and it's scary. Kate and I have been on some awesome weekend breaks and long-haul holidays over the years, but we've decided to go local for our next one by renting a hybrid and heading to the Cotswolds for some hiking. It's easy to forget how beautiful and accessible parts of our own country can be.
