I was looking forward
to a great weekend, but
first I had to perform a
Saturday morning ritual
which was pulling weeds. I
was about two hours In to
the weed pulling process
when I felt a painful sting
on my left gloved hand. A
group of pesky little red
ants had bitten through the
glove causing the stinging
No matter. I thought little
of it until several hours
later sitting at a restaurant
I noticed my wedding band
was extremely tight on my
finger. The ants had bitten
me on the knuckle above
my wedding band and by
that time the finger had
swelled to the point the
wedding band was inhibiting
the flow of blood.
Instead of enjoying my
lunch I sat at the restaurant
with hand in ice water.
We left a short while later
and at home proceeded
with the ice water therapy,
coupled with Google suggestions
to somehow get
the ring off the finger. Of
course nothing worked so I
went to bed in frustration.
I awoke early next
morning around 5 a.m. and
noticed a massive blister
had formed just above the
knuckle. My wife, who
was unable to convince
me to go to urgent care
the night before, now
demanded I climb in to
the passenger seat, and she
personally was driving me
Once there I was
whisked in to an examination
room where the
Physician's Assistant (PA)
applied some surgical ointment
to the swollen finger.
As I knew the wedding
band wouldn't budget. He
tried another solution same
He was getting perturbed.
Jokingly, at least
I thought he was joking,
he wondered why his
first patient on a Sunday
morning (me) had to have
such a difficult problem.
"Why couldn't I just have
a cold?" he asked.
He next got a piece of
thread and attempted to insert
the thread underneath
the wedding band and
wrap it around the finger,
and then quickly unwind
the threat in hopes that
the band would slide off
the finger. Not a chance.
The wedding band didn't
I told the PA to just
cut the wedding band off.
My Google searches had
noted that most urgent
care centers had tools that
could easily cut through
the band.
But he hadn't given up,
yet. The erstwhile PA left
the room for five minutes
and came back with a
bundle of gift wrap ribbon.
Hmm I thought he must
have went to the grocery
store next door to purchase
the ribbon.
"This will get the job
done," he proudly exclaimed.
He again used the
needle to slip the wider
and thicker gift ribbon
under the ring, wrapped it
tightly around the entire
finger and then pulled.
Shazaam this was magic.
Guess again, the ring
didn't budge.
In a look that only
spelled defeat, he agreed,
our only choice was to
cut the band. He went to
grab an appropriate cutting
tool. Five minutes later he
returned with nothing in
hand. There was no such
tool at the urgent care nor
apparently at the grocery
At this point he was
more frustrated than I. He
asked if I would accept
a shot in the butt that
would lower the swelling
and maybe later the band
would come off. I hesitatingly
agreed, and a few
minutes later was on my
way home. Urgent care had
failed, but I couldn't fault
the PA. He gave it his best
It is now five days later
and although the swelling
has somewhat dissipated
the wedding band remains
firmly implanted on my
finger. I can tell there is
no way soon it will be
removed. Wasps and bee
stings have never bothered
me, but red ants and poison
ivy, which I find with
frequency, always create
My mother was a stickler
about making sure the
shrub and flower beds were
free of weeds. I obviously
inherited that trait from
her, but maybe it's is now
time to hang up those gardening
tools. This wedding
band episode is the last
straw or maybe not. The
red ants won the battle, but
maybe I can win the war.

Getting Health Insurance
If you are looking for health insurance, the first thing to do is to figure out what coverage you are eligible for. Find out if you can gain coverage through your employer or if you can be placed on your spouse's or parent's plan (until you turn 26 years old). About 55 percent of Americans have an employer-sponsored plan while another 10 percent buy health insurance on their own, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Figure out if your income, age or other factor, such as a disability, makes you eligible for a state or federal health plan. For example, the federal Medicaid program is designated for those with low incomes, families and children, and pregnant women, while Medicare covers people over 65 and certain people under 65 with a disability. As part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, starting October 1, 2013, people can fill out an application on the Health Insurance Marketplace to determine what public programs they qualify for or to find an affordable private health plan. (See these websites for more information on government health insurance and your options.)
Before deciding on health insurance, it's a good idea to do some research to find the best coverage at the best price for your health needs. These websites can help:
- Healthcare.gov, a site managed by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, helps you find insurance, learn about preventing illness, compare hospitals in your area, and learn more about health care reform provisions.
- The government Agency on Health Care Research and Quality (AHRQ) has created a guide to health insurance plans and answers to common questions.
- Consumer Reports Health.org provides advice on how to choose an insurance plan.
- Consumer Reports also offers basic information about new health reform provisions and their impact on health insurance.
- AARP offers information on buying individual health insurance.
- Healthinsurance.org offers individual health insurance information including benefits, pricing and eligibility by state. Healthinsurance.org is not an insurance agency but functions like a health insurance exchange connecting people to different plans. Visit their site or call 866-573-8466 (toll free quotes)
How Much Does Health Insurance Cost?
The cost of health insurance typically varies from state to state and from region to region as the population by age, race, and sex, the numbers of uninsured and providers, local health care costs, insurance companies and taxes vary.
When evaluating health insurance, you should look at how much you will be paying; both for premiums—money paid on a regular basis for health insurance—and for deductibles and co-insurance, which are the amounts insurance companies require you to pay for a health service before they cover a portion or the rest of the amount and the percentage you pay for a service after your deductible is met, respectively. (See Health Insurance: Glossary of Common Terms.)
Don't just select the plan that has the lowest deductible without looking at what's covered under the plan. What's appropriate for a healthy twenty year old may not cover enough for a person over 50 with a chronic disease. Also, check to see whether prescription drugs are covered as well as mental health services, and look at coverage differences for inpatient hospital care versus outpatient office visits.

This month I decided to watch the video interviews on CreativeLive by Chase Jarvis and get some daily inspiration, motivation and wisdom. I've decided to blog about the series, logging my thoughts and takeaways…
Day 17 creative genius – Kevin Kelly.
Kevin Kelly is the founding executive editor of Wired Magazine. He is an editor and writer with a pretty famous blog, seemingly predicting what the next big things will be, in the creative community and technology. His latest book talks about the next 20 trends that will shape our lives, so you sort of get a sense of how he's an idea guy.
Quantity over quality.
In his interview with Jarvis, he mentions the story of a professor that allowed students to be graded on the best project they submit – quality – or by weight, the quantity of projects done. It turns out that the best work comes from the group that focus on quantity… bringing up the point that we must do a lot, make mistakes and keeping going to create great work.
I really loved this point because I often get frozen in analysis or "perfection" of one thing, holding me back from releasing, trying, putting it out there. When in fact, it's really proven to be more effective to create as much as possible! Another example of things that we sort of "know" but unable to follow through on, right?
Fail often… not a disaster.
At one point Kelly talks about failing often and it's little things that you can handle. It's a-okay. Instead of not tolerating failure and inevitably reaching a failure that brings our world down. That is so much worse! We must tolerate failure.
Lots of wisdom and creative talk, a great listen!

Solution Architecture
I was recently asked to provide a description of Solution Architecture and define what a Solution Architect actually does. A quick search of the Internet yielded disappointing results. Most articles describe a Solution Architect as assisting in the translation of requirements into a coherent vision or operating at a high design level to create a roadmap for future implementation.
That may be accurate from an outsider's perspective, but the true goal of the Solution Architect is to assist in process of Solution Selling. Wait… What is Solution Selling?
Rather than just promote an existing product, Solution Sellingfocuses on a customer's problems and addresses the issue with a variety of products and services. A Solution Architect is a technical pre-sales resource that works closely with sales and the customer to identify the problem, gather requirements and provide a workable solution that all can agree upon. The solution is not just a high-level abstraction of ideas, but is often results in the creation of demos and proof-of-concepts to validate these concepts in the customer's mind. At the conclusion of the sales cycle, the Solution Architect often works with professional services or the customer's development staff for a smooth transition from requirements gathering to the implementation phase of the project. This could result in a one-on-one knowledge transfer with a senior developer or through hands-on, group training sessions with the entire development team.
In summary, Solution Architecture is not defined by the nature of its deliverables, it is defined by a specific moment during the sales cycle. It is temporal in nature. No doubt this is why it is term is difficult to quantify, but also why it provides such a unique and richly rewarding atmosphere for those who decide to work in it.

bcg2's campaign for Safekids Aotearoa 'Check for me before you turn the key' has again won Gold, this time for effectiveness at the 2017 Festival of Media Global Awards in Rome.
This recognition follows the campaign's collection of four Gold awards and recognition as Advertiser of the Year at the Beacons Media awards.
We've worked with Safekids since 2007, helping them to drive positive behaviour change in many areas of child safety. This is rewarding enough in itself. But it's particularly rewarding to see one of these ideas being recognised internationally.
Anthony Rola, Head of Marketing and Communications at Safekids Aotearoa, says "This campaign has really connected with New Zealanders, particularly with Maori, Pacific and low-income families, to reduce driveway run over deaths. The strategic approach has transformed evidence-based research into a compelling story through 'kanohi ki te kanohi' (face-to-face communication).
This is Safekids Aotearoa's most successful marketing and creative campaign ever. To date, this campaign has received 7 Gold, 3 Silver and 3 Bronze awards and was a Finalist in the NZ Marketing Awards. Its accolades include a 2016 Bronze AXIS, two Golds and Silver at the 2016 NZDM awards, and a Silver and two Bronze awards at the 2016 New Zealand EFFIE awards. It was also recognised with a Bronze at the ISMA International Safety Media Awards in Finland in 2016.
There may be more to come. 'Check for me' is also a finalist at the New Zealand PRINZ (Public Relations Institute of New Zealand) Awards and the Cannes media awards.

Diet before and after the tummy tuck
Diet before and after the tummy tuck
Many people nowadays resort to plastic surgery to correct the appearance of the tummy that has lost its appeal and firmness. This is often the case for women who have had multiple pregnancies or men and women who have lost a significant amount of weight and are now left with saggy skin all over the lower part of the abdomen.
While the procedure is certainly not new, it is still covered in myth. A common myth associated with the tummy tuck is undergoing a tummy tuck to lose weight. It is important to understand straight away that plastic surgery, including tummy tuck and liposuction, are not to be used for weight loss purposes. These are procedures meant to reshape and recontour different parts of the body, but they can't be used to treat obesity. This is the reason why the patient's weight and diet before and after surgery are important for the success of the procedure and sustaining the results for longer.
In this article, we will discuss the diet before and after the tummy tuck as well as the relationship between weight and a successful abdominoplasty.
Weight loss, normal weight, and the tummy tuck
The tummy tuck is one of the procedures recommended and often performed on patients who have lost a significant amount of weight. The weight loss could have occurred after following a program or after bariatric surgery. When weight loss happens, especially for people after a certain age and who have been obese or severely overweight, the skin doesn't just retract on the new contours of the body. This means that if you lose a significant amount of weight, your skin will still look like could accommodate that amount of weight, becoming saggy and creating skin folds in different areas of the body. Most patients who have lost weight suddenly realize that the skin doesn't retract on the new contours of the body after the fat tissue is gone, and the skin will just stay in its position and create folds.
When it comes to the skin's appearance on the tummy after considerable weight loss, it may look like the patient has an apron on. This means that one or multiple skin folds are present on the inferior part of the tummy covering the pubic area partially or completely. This is not an appealing sight, and patients with skin folds on the tummy will resort to plastic surgery to correct this unsightly appearance of the tummy.
When the tummy tuck is performed on patients who have lost weight before the procedure, the recommendation is to wait at least six to eight months after getting to your normal weight before scheduling the procedure. Why is this important? Well, the tummy tuck should be performed only on people who have completed the weight loss process because if more weight loss occurs after abdominoplasty, skin sagginess could occur again on the abdominal area. Moreover, if weight gain occurs after the tummy tuck, the results of the procedure would be altered again.
The tummy tuck performed on patients who used to be obese or overweight often entails an incision from hip bone to hip bone on the suprapubic area. If skin folds are present on the flanks, the plastic surgeon will address them as well. When this happens, the procedure is called the extended tummy tuck and entails longer incisions and a more significant amount of skin to the removed than the traditional tummy tuck.
After the patient undergoes the tummy tuck, he can return home within hours after waking up from the anesthesia, but the post-operative period is essential to get satisfying results. What the patient eats after the tummy tuck can help him have a smoother and faster recovery period or do just the opposite.
Diet before the tummy tuck
Patients undergoing the tummy tuck have a preparation period of about a month before the procedure. During this time, there are certain instructions that need to be followed to the letter to avoid complications. Among these instructions, the plastic surgeon will also mention the diet you should keep before the tummy tuck.
Plastic surgery should only be performed on patients in a good health and emotional condition. This means that your body needs to be in good shape to undergo the surgery. In other words, the recommendation is not to keep any strict diets the weeks and even the month before the procedure is scheduled. A low intake of calories could determine a weak immune system that might find it difficult to fight infections or colds before the surgery. Any type of health condition, even something as trivial as a common cold, could determine a rescheduling of your procedure at a later date. Moreover, if your body is weak due to a lack of proper nutrition, the recovery after the tummy tuck can be longer and associated with more possible complications.
While it is not recommended to drink or eat anything eight hours before the tummy tuck, most experts would recommend having rich menus in the weeks before the procedure. This doesn't mean that you should indulge in eating fast food or unhealthy dishes, but keep it nutritious and with enough calories.
Diet after the tummy tuck
The general recommendation for patients undergoing plastic surgery is to resume eating as soon as possible after the surgery. Moreover, they should also get off the bed hours after waking up to avoid the formation of blood clots. Patients who resume drinking and eating shortly after the surgical procedure and also start moving as soon as possible have been shown to have faster recovery periods and fewer complications. Even if you don't feel like eating or drinking anything, having a bowl of soup or a tea as soon as possible helps you recover sooner and increase your immunity levels.
However, this doesn't mean that you can have Chinese takeout immediately after surgery. The recommendation is to start eating and drinking as soon as possible, but not to overdo it. This means that you can start with a bowl of clear soup, then try some steamed veggies with a piece of lean meat or fish, a boiled egg in the morning with a piece of toast, things that are easy to digest, and won't make you feel bloated and have plenty of calories and nutrients. Make sure to include sources of fiber in your diet. Constipation can occur during this time, and it is even more likely if you are predisposed towards it. Constipation is to be avoided at all costs after the tummy tuck as it might put unnecessary pressure on the abdominal muscles and cause the incisions to open.
Drink plenty of water and also include freshly squeezed fruits and vegetable juices and herbal infusions in your regimen. Alcohol, carbonated and caffeinated beverages are to be avoided for as long as possible after the tummy tuck as they might create bloating, interfere with the pain medication and create dehydration, and prolong the recovery period.
Refined sugars are also to be avoided after the tummy tuck as they are just empty calories. If you need to have something sweet, try a fruit smoothie or a piece of fruit that is healthier and better for you.
The diet before the tummy tuck can influence the recovery process, and the same is valid for the diet before the procedure. It is important for patients to avoid strict diets weeks before the tummy tuck. If you believe you need to lose more weight before your procedure, make sure to schedule the tummy tuck six to eight months after you have reached the ideal weight and stabilized it. This means that losing significant amounts of weight in the month before the procedure is not ideal. To undergo the tummy tuck, which is a major and complex procedure, your body needs to be in top condition.
The diet after the tummy tuck will help you avoid complications and speed up the recovery process or do just the opposite. After the tummy tuck, you should keep a balanced and healthy diet, with plenty of fresh or steamed vegetables, fruits, and lean meats. Also, make sure to drink enough water.

Appealing to the "freedom to ride" is increasingly popular in the discourse of cyclists and for some cycle campaigners has gained status as a rallying 'call to arms'*. But it's a call that I have struggled to resonate with my personal experience or my increasing activity in promoting access and participation in cycling. In fact, I have felt downright uncomfortable with this appeal to an intensely political slogan, it's only cycling after all!
Firstly, I have somehow associated the phrase with the fixed-wheel cycling culture of hipsters; an association with a subculture largely known for its style and fashion above all else; this populist image of the hipster subculture presents pretty much the antithesis to my main reason for feeling uncomfortable; "freedom to ride" is unavoidably imbued with heavyweight and significant antecedents within the civil rights movement of 1960s America.
Freedom Riders risked their lives, suffering violent attacks to take brave and world-changing direct action challenging the illegal racial segregation and discrimination in the southern states of America. Can the right to cycle really figure anywhere on the same spectrum as this as a political act? Can the 'cycle movement' (whatever that may be) really adopt and gain power from a maxim so imbued with such political heritage? I haven't answered this question for myself entirely but I have in completing my first, largely solo cycling tour understood more about what "freedom to ride" means for me, my own privileges as a woman cyclist and how these experiences inform the work and activism I do to encourage cycling.
Meandering the roads, admiring the views and stopping frequently for cake while cycling the 750 miles from Otley in Yorkshire to Orkney is not a feat on the scale of a pedalled circumnavigation of the globe. But for a first-time tourer it's a fair challenge in physical and mental terms, not to mention the navigational! Three weeks of pedalling provided plenty of time for ruminating on "why?", as did the frequent posing of the question from others, most often accompanied by asking which charity I was 'doing it for'? (none, by the way).
"Why not?" and "just for fun" tripped fairly easily off the tongue to start with. This strategy of providing enough of an answer to make clear it was a personal undertaking but skirting deeper discussion failed eventually to stand-up to the miles of mulling it over in self-scrutiny (nb: I am not deluded enough to think that the average passer-by or ferry passenger was really interested in a 'deep and meaningful'!).
So inevitably, as I pedalled on (and on, and on….) I gained greater insight on not only what was important to me in this endeavour but how my own experiences and privileges inform the causes and work I feel passionate about. So, "because I can" became a more appropriate and important response to the question of "why?" as my understanding of the privileges that make up my "freedom to ride" became articulated:
- I am physically capable: I have good health, high levels of fitness and no disabilities that affect my ability to ride a bike.
- I am technically competent: my dad bought me a bike and had the patience and skills to teach me to ride it. Over recent years I have been helped by many others to improve my riding skills.
- I am emotionally resilient and have good mental health: this trip was important for self-esteem and being alone. But I had enough ambition to set off in the first place, I knew I was ultimately resilient enough and had the support in place to manage my own anxieties and fears (I could always phone my dad to come pick me up…..!)
- I am financially able and independent: I can afford to buy and maintain my bicycle, afford the costs of accommodation etc and take the time out of paid employment to make the trip.
- It is legally and culturally acceptable: I live, and toured in, a country where it is accepted that I, as a woman, ride a bike and travel on my own. While some of my family may have looked mildly concerned, it is okay for me to check in to hostels, drink in pubs and eat in restaurants on my own. Within the informed boundaries I set (cycling only in the daytime, made arrangements to check in with friends, etc.) I felt safe for the entirety of the journey – not to say there weren't a few panicky moments but more because of my anxieties rather than actual danger. In fact, I received less hassle as a woman and as a cyclist than I expected. My independence and right to do this is not questionable.
All of this resulted in me feeling a level of freedom and liberation that I have not experienced in a long time, if ever. This is truly what a bicycle and cycling can give you. Benefits. But only if you have the freedom to get started in the first place. And for so many people, and for so many girls and women specifically across the world this is not the case, they do not have the "freedom to ride". Again, I am reminded that there is very little in life that is truly just about the individual and that "the personal is political". So the phrase has gathered new meaning for me and will continue to inform my values and the work I do to make this freedom a reality for more girls and women – locally in Bristol and internationally.
* Google tells me it is also fairly popular amongst bikers, particularly Harley Davidson riders, and snowboarders..

PhD position "Carbone interphases in SiC/SiC composites"
We are looking for PhD candidates to study interfaces in SiC/SiC fiber composites. The project is in collaboration with CEA and Centre des Matériaux, MINES ParisTech under the supervision of Marie-Hélène Berger (MINES ParisTech), Cédric Sauder (DMN/SRMA/LTMEX) and Sylvie Poissonnet (DMN/SRMP).
Title : "Influence of Carbone interphases in SiC/SiC composites based on Hi-Nicalon S and Tyranno SA3 fibers"
A new concept of SiC/SiC pin cladding patented by the CEA ("sandwich" concept) allows making this material a reference for GFR (Gas Fast Reactor). Optimization of mechanical behaviour of such composite is still a major concern from room temperature up to very high temperature. More, comprehension of phenomena governing fiber/matrix bonding is needed in SiC/SiC composite with Pyrocarbon interphase. A recent study demonstrated influences of fiber surface properties on composite mechanical behaviour. The aim of this work is to pursue this study with the objective of a better understanding of observed phenomena. Even if influence of fiber rugosities have been demonstrated, composition and microstructure influence of carbon phases present in this material is still a major concern. This work will be dedicated to a fine analysis of carbon interfaces to reach their origins and interactions. The final goal is to establish the mechanisms that control mechanical behaviour of SiC/SiC composites and thus to define the optimized materials for nuclear applications.
Please find some additional details in the attached file. Sorry it's in French : )

Artist Statement :
I do paint with an inspiration from various forms of beauties created by the ultimate artist, the Mother Nature!
With no formal education in fine art, Im a self-learner and still learning. With some of the basic techniques, I have started painting very recently, with acrylic paint on paper. Earlier I used to do pencil sketching as well as pastel painting but thanks to my 9 year old daughter, Veera who has helped me to discover my passion for painting with her set of brushes and paints!!
I strongly believe that immersing oneself into an art is a kind of meditation and it helps in finding your true self!
Alongside painting, I thoroughly enjoy photography especially in the open and wild, close to the nature!

Could someone from the Marriott Corporation please explain why $1 spend at Residence Inn, Towne Place, and Element earns only 5 Marriott points, while the same $1 spend at other Marriott properties earns 10 Marriott points? A dollar is a dollar. What is the rationale for rewarding guests at these 3 brands only half as much as guests of other brands? Please provide a logical and credible answer, and not one replete with corporate speak that doesnt really answer the question. Thank you.
Why only 5 points per $1 at Residence Inn, Towne Place and Element?

Your company's website is the most important element of your digital strategy. Probably even more important than your social media presence on LinkedIn, Instagram or Facebook.
A website showcases all the information about your product, services, business and the team a. But more importantly, it lets your potential client get a clear understanding of how you've presented your business to the world. This might lead them to decide whether or not to contact you.
We live in a digital world and having an interactive and interesting website is the need of the day so that you and your prospects can effectively communicate with each other.
There still are many companies that have a web presence but are incredibly outdated. And just as fashion changes and house styles evolve, websites need to evolve too, if you company wants to have the best presence online.
Blue Fountain media conducted a survey on UX trends, and their stats are quite insightful into why an updated website plays the most important role in a business.
It is clear from the above statistics that website redesigning is necessary.
But how do you know if your website needs redesigning and what is the first thing you need to do in order to redesign?
Let us designers explain it to you.
Many say that you should be redesigning your website every three years to keep up with the trends, but we believe that you should think of redesigning only if there is a need.
To find out when is the right time to take up this project, you should gather data on the current user journey and map out everything.
Are your users bouncing or leaving your site without taking any action? This is when you need to analyze user behavior and find out the reason.
If your users are getting lost while exploring your website or if they aren't easily able to find the relevant information, it would indicate that you need to redesign your website. Below are a few reasons why you need to redesign your website.
Let's dive into these considerations.
a) Your website is not user friendly& responsive –
It is 2019 and almost all your users have been using the web space for quite a while to expect fast loading speed, intuitive navigations and sleek design that clearly communicates your business offering. If that is not the case, they will leave your site.
One thing you need to remember is that the maximum number of your users use their mobile devices or tablets to browse your website and if your site is not optimized for these devices, they are definitely going to bounce off to never return.
Hence, having a user- friendly and responsive website is absolutely necessary.
b) It is not aligned as per current market goals –
For your company to grow and evolve, you always keep your sales and marketing strategies aligned with the current market trends. Similarly, when it comes to digital marketing, it is not uncommon to be in touch with the evolving digital trends. Especially your website and its various aspects.
Keeping your website aligned with your goals and the market trends can be a tough task, but it's an essential piece of digital marketing success.
If your website is not working towards your specific goals i.e. increased traffic, conversions etc., it is surely the time for getting updated.
c) Website does not look trustworthy or credible –
Poor website designs can generate mistrust in the users' minds. If your website is not well built, has an outdated design or content is placed haphazardly, it will come off as a sketchy and untrustworthy to your website visitors.
Around 48% of people believe website design as the number one factor in deciding the credibility of a business. Hence, your website design is the reason people are converting, or not converting on your website.
If you think your old website is losing users and not generating enough conversions, this could be one of the reasons.
You might need to consider redesigning and making your website visually appealing so that it is trustworthy for your users as it is a key factor in your customer's decision making.
d) Is not SEO friendly –
Your website will not appear as top search result on Google or any other search engines if it is not optimized. If your website is old, it probably does not have appropriate tags, coding or meta-descriptions which is required by search engines algorithms- that only show results of sites which are optimized for SEO.
This means your site is missing out on thousands of free visitors. It also means that you need to get your site updated with relevant and effective SEO keywords and descriptions.
While you could spend months learning SEO to implement it, your best is
e) Has high bounce rate –
If your website has been facing a high bounce rate, you should know that it is time to update it. Bounce rate can be viewed in Google Analytics where you can find out the percentage of visitors that only visit one page on your website.
Bounce rate can be about 40 – 55% on an average, which means that 40 -55 of every 100 visitors only visit a single page on your website.
If the visitor doesn't have a positive experience while navigating you site, they may leave your site without visiting other page, causing a high bounce rate.
All these reasons could be a sign that you need to redesign your website. But to do so, you need to plan a strategy so that all the changes you want are incorporated and the end goals you want to achieve are met with.
Here is how you can strategize and plan the whole process.
Planning a strategy for redesigning the website
Once you analyze the user behavior on your website and arrive at a decision of redesigning, the first thing you need to do is plan the project, set priorities and plan end goals.
This is the most important step of redesigning. Knowing your users and their needs should always be the focus, so that your website matches their requirements and expectations.
After this, you must create prototypes to get a better understanding of how your new website needs to be, so that it matches all the requirements.
It can be done best by user testing. It will help in checking if the design you have is right and if it is working with the users. Always use data and feedback from users to create a user-friendly, easy and smooth journey for your user.
Here's a checklist of all the main areas you need to cover when you plan on redesigning your website. Make sure to keep it handy.
- Analyse what works and what doesn't: Use analytics to see what your visitors find valuable, and what they don't. Use analytics to make smart decisions is a must.
What pages aren't getting visited? What CTAs aren't getting clicked? Gather these bits of information to help you make
- Establish clear goals: You need to set goals for how well your website works for SEO & marketing, not just how nice it looks or how flashy it is.
How to set goals?
- Clearly define what you want from your website redesigning efforts. Maybe you want to increase the number of visitors or get leads or increase the conversions through
website. Put down the numbers.
- List down the specific design goals like
-websiteshould have a clean, modern look with ample white space or it should have bright coloursand subtle animations etc.
- You can also list down any specific functionality that might get your user's attention like – more CTAs, easy forms etc.
- Know your users' requirements: Before redesigning you have to know who you are designing for and what they like. Knowing the target audience helps you get a clear understanding of what you need to make.
Hence, first understand the requirements, preferences, browsing styles and key words that your target audience is using. All this information will help you in creating the best website that properly caters to their needs.
- Check your competition: Knowing your competition and what they're doing is a great way to understand where you are at in the market and how you could improve your website.
Try to understand why your competition is doing well, and what is it that they're doing with their website that is lacking in your current website. This will give you an idea of how you could potentially do better in redesigning your website.
- Review your website content: While you are thinking of redesigning, you might as well think of reviewing and rewriting your content. It is a commonly known fact that design and content work together.
One cannot sell itself without the other and both need to be updated regularly if you want your website to give you your desired results. You can look up for best practices for user engagement and plan new blogs, and when to publish them on your website.
One simple way to understand what content to put out there is by looking at what content is doing well and then using it as a template to plan future content and strategy.
- Boost your site's discovery with SEO: Obviously, you are planning on redesigning your website to boost your marketing and generate sales. But, for that to happen your site first needs to be discoverable by your prospective users.
This is where SEO comes into the picture. You can optimize your site for SEO in various ways like-
- Have really well-written page titles, meta- descriptions
andpermalinks for all the content on your website.
- Write content for readability. It should describe your product is an easy-to-understand manner.
Alsomake sure you include headers and sub- headerseverywhere.
- Target the right keywords on all landing pages.
- Check site loading time and try to make it as less as possible.
- Make it responsive and mobile-friendly: Back in 2016 itself mobile browsing bypassed desktop browsing and has been increasing since then. All your users are on their mobile phones and tablets more than desktop while they check your website.
Therefore, your website needs to be responsive and mobile friendly so that it can reconfigure itself based on your user's screen size and device. If your website is not optimized for mobile and other devices, your users might leave and look elsewhere.
Moreover, having a responsive design will also help boost your SEO as Google's algorithm favours websites that have a responsive web-design for its mobile search results.
At Artha Creative Studio, you don't have to worry about this as we only design responsive websites.
The process for good redesign website-
Following this process will lead to increase in conversion rates.
A survey by Google in 2012 found out that website visitors make their first impressions of a site's attractiveness within 1/20th of a second. And "visually complex" sites were consistently interpreted as less beautiful. Hence, simplifying your design can help keep your visitor focused on the content that matters.
At Artha Creative Studio, we have redesigned quite a few websites that have gone to do well for their respective businesses (you can check them out here). We follow a simple and minimalistic approach by using the Design Thinking strategy and Lean methodology.
If you think your website is facing any of the above-mentioned problems and needs a redesign you should definitely consider contacting us.

- 1/4 cup butter
- 10 oz large marshmallows (or a 10.5 oz bag of mini marshmallows)
- 1/3 cup dry Red Velvet Cake mix
- 6 cup Rice Krispie cereal
- 1/2 cup butter or cream cheese, room temperature
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- Line a 10″ x 15″ jelly roll pan/baking pan with foil and grease lightly with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan melt butter over low heat
- Add marshmallows, and stir until melted.
- Remove from heat and add in dry cake mix, stirring until mixed completely with marshmallow.
- Stir in rice krispie cereal, and coat evenly with mixture.
- Pour mixture into prepared pan, and press evenly. Allow it to cool.
- Make filling by beating butter and powdered sugar together.
- Cut the rice krispie treat sheet in half, so you have two equal portions, and spread the filling on one of the two halves.
- Place the other half of rice krispie on top.
- Cut into squares. Store airtight for up to 2 days (I refrigerated these).
These are a big hit for group gatherings. They look nice too! How often do you see red Rice Krispie treats?? It's much simpler to make than it looks/sounds. Great if you need a cream cheese recipe.

Boston Market Now Offers New Rotisserie Brisket
Here's your excuse to meat up with friends at Boston Market. The restaurant chain now offers a new rotisserie beef offering, rotisserie brisket.
The Best Sandwich in Every State
The brisket is slow-cooked in the restaurant's rotisserie, and served as a meal with a side of hickory BBQ sauce, choice of two side dishes, and fresh-baked cornbread.
"When we first launched rotisserie prime rib last year, demand went through the roof, so we felt now was the perfect time to introduce our next red meat offering, our new rotisserie brisket," said Tony Fialho, Boston Market director of culinary innovation, in a statement. "You never know what we might cook up next in our rotisserie ovens!"
But be careful about when you head to the restaurant. The rotisserie brisket meals are only offered on Monday and Tuesday evenings starting at 5 p.m., and while supplies last. An individual meal costs $13.99.
Boston Market has also extended the availability of rotisserie prime rib, which is now offered after 5 p.m on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings and after 12 p.m. on Sunday. That meal includes slow-cooked rotisserie prime rib, two sides, fresh cornbread, horseradish cream sauce and au jus.
Boston Market has more than 440 U.S. locations. Still, if you prefer to cook your own beef at home, here's how to grill the perfect steak.

As originally published in Mega Doctor News newsprint edition October 2018
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) issued the following statement: they are investigating the reported cases of acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) that occurred since mid-September in Minnesota children. AFM is a polio-like syndrome that can cause paralysis or muscle weakness. It is a rare but potentially severe condition that can arise following an infection, and in some cases, it can lead to death, paralysis, or other long-term health impacts.
AFM affects the nervous system, causing muscles to weaken. It can be a complication following a viral infection, but environmental and genetic factors may also contribute to its development. AFM symptoms include sudden muscle weakness in the arms or legs, sometimes following a respiratory illness. Other symptoms may include:
- Neck weakness or stiffness
- Drooping eyelids or a facial droop.
- Difficulty swallowing or slurred speech.
MDH disease investigators are working aggressively with health care providers to gather information about the cases. The department is also in contact with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to share information.
For reasons not fully understood, AFM affects children. All recent Minnesota cases have been in children under 10 years old and all were hospitalized. Cases have been reported from the Twin Cities, central Minnesota, and northeastern Minnesota.
There was a national uptick in AFM cases in 2014. Disease investigators believe this was linked to an outbreak of a respiratory illness in children that was caused by a virus known as enterovirus D 68 (EVD68). Minnesota saw three AFM cases that year. Since then, we have typically seen less than one case a year.
Since AFM can develop as a result of a viral infection, MDH recommends parents and children take basic steps to avoid infections and stay healthy:
- Wash your hands frequently to limit your exposure to germs.
- Cover your cough or sneeze.
- Stay home if you are sick.
- Stay up to date on vaccinations.
- Protect yourself and children from mosquito bites if you're spending time outside.
If parents see potential symptoms of AFM in their child, (for example, if he or she is not using an arm) they should contact their healthcare provider as soon as possible. AFM can be diagnosed by examining a person's nervous system, taking an MRI scan and testing the cerebral spinal fluid. It is important that tests are done as soon as possible after someone develops symptoms. While there is no specific treatment for AFM, doctors may recommend certain interventions on a case-by-case basis.

Judges help taggers spray city with graffiti
Almost everything you thought you knew about graffiti tagging in the city is wrong.
It isn't that the police can't catch the taggers. It's not easy, but Department of Public Works Director Mohammed Nuru says SFPD is booking more taggers than ever.
It isn't that the district attorney's office is refusing to prosecute. George Gascón's office is stalking the worst offenders, putting together cases and getting them in front of a judge.
And that is where everything breaks down. Just ask Gideon Kramer, a former member of the Anti-Graffiti Task Force and a Mission District antitagging crusader.
"Unless the judges take it seriously, nothing happens," he said. "They look at all the things on their calendar and they just want to get it off. I think judges tend to be woefully ignorant when it comes to this."
And for those members of the judiciary who might think that sounds harsh or unfair, we have a golden opportunity for you to make it right. At 9 a.m. on Wednesday, 18-year-old Andrew Yarbrough will appear before Judge Brendan Conroy at the Hall of Justice.
You might not know Yarbrough by name, but I'll bet you've seen his tags, "Cryst" and "Sheep." They are everywhere.
"Our crews chased this guy up and down Market Street for more than two months," said DPW spokeswoman Rachel Gordon. "He tags lampposts, mailboxes and private property. It is constant and insidious. He's definitely a serial tagger."
In fact, the D.A.'s office says Yarbrough is responsible for nearly $50,000 in damage. Not that he's concerned. Unrepentant doesn't begin to describe him. Booked by police after getting caught in the act and charged with 10 felonies (a felony is damage over $400) and 25 misdemeanors, Yarbrough was sent to court, where a judge set a court date and released him on his own recognizance.
He promptly went out and was charged with tagging six more locations.
So with that lack of respect, you can bet Judge Conroy will nail him with the full force of the law, right?
Not really.
In fact, Conroy is already hinting that he will reduce the charges down to misdemeanors, which probably means virtually no punishment.
It's an old story, Kramer says. When he was on the Graffiti Task Force, he and an SFPD abatement officer brought more than 20 of the worst offenders to court and then watched as judges dismissed cases or let suspects go with no consequences.
After that, Kramer said he went to the presiding judge and suggested that one judge handle all graffiti cases, so when a tagger reoffended, the judge would know the history.
"Everybody smiled and said it was a great idea," Kramer said. "But nothing happened."
The D.A.'s office has had it. They get the heat from the public for constant, blatant tagging, but don't feel supported when they bring cases to court.
"When certain offenders are disproportionately responsible for numerous acts of vandalism, the consequences of that behavior have to be greater," spokesman Alex Bastian said in a statement. "This is a simple concept that most people understand. However, it is important that our San Francisco judges also get that message loud and clear."
One mystery is the sympathy for the taggers. San Francisco has become a destination city for spray-paint vandals, who hit a building, then photograph or video the tag and post it on graffiti websites. Some of them justify it by implying they are striking a blow for social justice.
Yarbrough apparently fancies himself a kind cultural warrior. Interviewed by KTVU-TV, he said "cryst" is for crystal meth and "sheep" is for the "conformist, gentrification s—."
So he's actually expressing a political view? Take a look at whom he's targeting.
Dr. Kathleen Kennedy is one of the owners of "For Your Eyes Only" optometry on Castro Street. When she celebrated their 25th anniversary in the location, Kennedy says, she decided to get a new awning for the doorway.
She consulted with a graphic designer, discussed the type fonts and installed an attractive new awning at a cost of $3,200. It was tagged with "Cryst" almost immediately.
"It was outrageous, just a feeling in the pit of your stomach," she said. "I called the awning company and they came out, but they said you can't fix it. Either do it all over or try painting. So we did, and it was a couple of hundred dollars to paint it, but it looks tacky, to be honest. It was such a bummer."
That's a familiar story to Nuru, whose crews paint over "Cryst" daily.
"This guy has hurt a lot of people, defacing someone's property for the fun of it," he said. "It would be nice if the judges put this up to a higher level. There should be consequences."
If not for the taggers, then perhaps for the judges who treat tagging like it is a teenage prank. Kennedy says if nothing happens in court next week, she has a question for Conroy.
"Hey, judge," she said. "Are you going to pay for my awning?"

Obama: Want a war? Say so
President Obama fired back at his Republican challengers who have accused him of being soft on Iran, saying at a White House press conference that the standoff over the Iranian nuclear program is "not a game."
Suggesting that the criticism being lobbed at him is not anchored in substance, Obama accused his rivals -- without mentioning their names -- of being "casual" about starting a war.
"If some of these folks think it's time to launch a war, they should say so," he said. "Everything else is just talk."
Here's more of his answer:
At this stage, it is my belief that we have a window of opportunity where this can still be resolved diplomatically … Now, what's said on the campaign trail – those folks don't have a lot of responsibilities. They're not commander-in-chief. And when I see the casualness with which some of these folks talk about war, I'm reminded of the costs involved in war. I'm reminded that the decision that I have to make, in terms of sending our young men and women into battle, and the impact that has on their lives, the impact that has on our national security, the impact it has on our economy – this is not a game. There's nothing casual about it. And when I see some of these folks who have a lot of bluster and a lot of big talk, but when you ask them specifically what they would do, it turns out they repeat the things that we've been doing over the last three years. It indicates to me that's more about politics than actually trying to solve a difficult problem.
It's a stance that puts Obama in the position of the restrained one in the conversation on Iran, and would seem to reflect an assessment that voters would rather have a president who sounds deliberate about the use of military force, than one who stakes out the toughest position against a rogue state seeking nuclear weapons.
Here's what Mitt Romney said earlier about Obama's Mideast policy; and here's Rick Santorum.

After I started using essential oils a few years ago, I really got into making my own homemade beauty and personal care products. Once you get a collection of necessities like quality essential oils, coconut oil, beeswax, cocoa butter, shea butter, almond oil and castile soap, you can make virtually anything you need, including these homemade lotion bars for massage!
It's winter time, and up here in the mountains we have crazy dry air – as in the humidity levels get down into the single digits. If you don't have some great lotion or body butter on hand, your skin will punish you for it. Trust me, I know first hand!
We go through so much lotion and body butter during the winter, that I wanted to see if I could make it myself since I have to order the lotion we use (I usually order through Thrive Market or 100% Pure). I decided to make homemade lotion bars because they seemed easier to make than a more fluid lotion for my first go-round.
Our homemade lotion bars came out great and they're very soothing and moisturizing for our dry winter skin! If you have been thinking about making your own homemade lotion bars, give it a try. It's easier than you think!
Heart Shaped Homemade Lotion Bars for Massage
- 1 cup raw cocoa butter
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 teaspoon almond oil
- Lavender essential oil
- Wilton heart mold
Combine the raw cocoa butter, coconut oil and almond oil in a small pot and heat on medium low until everything is melted. Be careful not to bring the contents to a boil.
Place your silicone heart mold on a cookie sheet (it's hard to move the silicone mold if you don't place a cookie sheet under it first) and pour the melted butter into your mold.
Once the mixture has cooled slightly, add your lavender essential oil (or essential oil of your choosing).
Place the filled mold in your refrigerator and allow your homemade lotion bars to cool completely (it should take about 1 hour).
Gently pop your homemade lotion bars out of the mold and store them in an airtight container or in the refrigerator (especially if you live in a warm climate).
The bars will begin to melt in your hands if you hold them for very long, which makes them perfect for a nice warm oil massage.
