Today's post takes us back to the email marketing basics: why use email marketing, how to get started, and a few tips and tricks for creating engaging email content.
Why email marketing?
Email marketing boils down to one main idea: every email is sent with the intention of gaining or continuing business with potential and existing customers. This goal can be accomplished through various types of email marketing messages from newsletters and promotional campaigns to re-engagement efforts.
If you're already using CRM to track revenue from various channels, you can use the email marketing and web analytics statistics provided by ClickDimensions to get a more precise look at how you're best engaging with your customers.
Getting started
ClickDimensions Academy is the best place to start when you want to get to know email marketing or any of the other features within ClickDimensions. We walk you through the process of creating a template, sending an email, looking at the statistics and managing subscription preferences.
The ClickDimensions blog is another great resource, and the blog posts linked below can help you with a few things that you'll need to set up before sending your first email:
- Create marketing lists. Here are some of our thoughts on maintaining a good marketing list and using segmented marketing lists.
- Set up subscription management.
- Create an email CNAME, set up your SPF record, allow ClickDimensions IP addresses in your network firewall (see here and here), and create test lead and contact records.
- Create an email template that you'll use as the design of your email.
- Create an email send record, which you'll need in order to send your email.
Once you've tested and tested, you're ready to send your email. You will then be able to measure the performance of your emails with ClickDimensions charts and reports, as well as email event records that you can use with your own CRM reports.
Questions about delivery
Maintaining good marketing list hygiene is one of the most proactive things that you can do to make sure that your emails are well-received by your customers. Reputable email service providers work hard to make sure that your emails aren't being blocked by major ISPs, but they don't have a say in whether or not your emails are going to hit the inbox or the spam folder.
Here is a breakdown on what happens when you send an email, as well as an explanation of why your emails sometimes seem like they take a long time to be delivered: http://help.clickdimensions.com/why-does-it-seem-to-take-so-long-for-emails-to-be-delivered/
Content, content, content!
In order to keep your email recipients engaged, you need to send content that grabs their attention. Here are a few blog posts that can help you with your attention-grabbing and engagement efforts with your email marketing:

THE Scottish Modern Arts Association
has the distinction of being the hrst Society
founded in Scotland for the soie purpose of form-
ing a collection of modern art for the beneht of
the nation. In 1819 the Royai Association for
the Promotion of the Fine Arts in Scotland was
instituted, but its main object was to promote
exhibitions, and instead of being an encouragement
its attitude to the painters of the period was so
hostile that it provoked the establishment of a
rival organisation which ultimately became the
Royal Scottish Academy. Losing the sympathy
and support of the public, its career ultimately
terminated ingloriously. In 1833 the Royal
Association for the Promotion of the Fine Arts
in Scotland—the first society of its kind in Britain
—was formed, and during its existence it did a
great deal in the way of acquiring modern paint-
ings and sculpture. It purchased several notable
pictures which are now in the Scottish National
Gallery, such as Paul Chalmers' and works
by Sir Noel Paton, Robert Scott Lauder, Robert
Herdman, James Drummond, and others. But
the members themselves benehted by the distri-
bution among them of sets of engravings annually,
and a ballot for pictures which had been pur-
chased by the directors from the Academy or other
In contrast to these organisations the Scottish
Modern Arts Association is purely altruistic and
national. Its members are not benefited personally.
As set forth in its constitution its objects are " to
ensure the preservation of representative examples
of Scottish art, more particularly by acquiring
works of contemporary Scottish artists, and also
to assist in the enriching of Scottish public art
collections." These objects are sought to be
attained by:—
"(1) The acquisition of works of art by
Scottish painters, sculptors, gravers, or other crafts-

Today I thought we'd talk about Amish gardens. Raise your hand if you've seen one.
I live in Texas, so I'm well acquainted with gardens. My husband's Uncle Joe had a very large vegetable garden even after he'd gone blind. Uncle Joe was pretty amazing. So I thought I knew what to expect from Amish gardens. Ha! I was wrong.
- Amish gardens are big because they try to grow as many veggies as possible to provide for their large families.
- Amish gardens are also rather old-fashioned. For instance, look at the picture above with the gas tank in the bottom right-hand corner. I remember my grandma telling me that adding anything rusty to your garden puts iron back in the soil. Have you ever heard that?
- Amish gardens are natural, and by that I mean that they'd rather not use costly pesticides. Instead they'll do things like plant marigolds next to vegetables to ward off insects.
- Some Amish gardens are for Englischers. Aren't the quilt garden pictures above fun? You can find these through Shipshewana, and they're wonderful to visit.
- Occasionally you'll find a memory garden. The top right picture is one of my favorites. See the wooden marker? What a lovely way for this family to remember a loved one.
Amish are known for their large and beautiful gardens. Of course this is in addition to the crops they grow. What about you? Have you seen any Amish gardens? Do you have a garden? Leave a comment below, and we'll pull one winner to receive an autographed book from yours truly. Last week's winner was Kimberly K. (Kimberly, you should have received an email from me today.)
Announcements for this week
- I have 2 summer specials in my VC Boutique Store and you'll see some new spring items. I hope you'll check it out!
- The anthology I'm participating in, Summer of Suspense, is now with our editor. You can preorder at BN and Apple and Amazon. Pre-order price is 99c for 16 awesome inspirational romantic suspense novellas. These are all original stories.
- I'll be in Shipshewana the week of August 1-4. Mark your calendars in you're in the area. I'll post more soon about when and where we'll be having our book signing. Lots of Amish authors are attending, so this should be a fun event.

School Entrance Physicals
School entrance physicals and immunization requirements for admission to school remain unchanged for the 2020-2021 school year. Please pay attention to the important information below to ensure that your child has met the requirements prior to the start of the 2020-2021 school year.
The Code of Virginia requires that children receive a comprehensive physical examination (§ 22.1-270) within 12 months prior to the start of school and be adequately immunized (§ 22.1-271.2) before entering public kindergarten or elementary school. Other required immunizations include Human Papillomavirus (HPV) for girls entering sixth grade; and a Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis (Tdap) booster for entry into seventh grade.
Additional resources are available for families of uninsured and underinsured children or those impacted financially by the COVID-19 pandemic.
- The VDH, Vaccines for Children (VFC) map indicates participating providers for immunizations by region. Parents may contact local clinics directly for information and hours of service.
- The Virginia Community Healthcare Association works with a statewide network of clinics that bill for public and some private insurance. Many clinics provide a sliding scale for those without insurance and offer free immunizations in partnership with the VDH.
- The Virginia Association of Free Clinics are independent, nonprofit, volunteer-driven and community-based organizations. Each clinic sets its own eligibility requirements and guidelines, and all must be contacted directly for assistance.
School Calendar Update
The school calendar for next school year (2020-2021) will include a post-Labor Day start to school so the calendar will be very similar to the current school year calendar. The 20-21 calendar will be brought to the School Board to approve this winter. School division staff will continue to work with representatives from all of the school divisions who send students to the New Horizons Regional Education Center (NHREC) to determine if a change to a pre-Labor Day school start should occur for the 2021-2022 school year. The results of the school divisions surveys are being used to inform the decision making process. PCPS had a good return rate on the survey that was provided to the school community. The results of the survey can be found online at this link https://www.poquoson.k12.va.us/Page/248. A decision about the 2021-2022 calendar will be made during the spring of this school year.

Depression is a Risk Factor For Developing Heart Disease
A Canadian study, published in July has found that women who are depressed are much more likely to develop heart disease.
The study focused on a group of 4,948 men and women aged over 40 years, were around 12 years. The study showed that women who experienced depression in some form at around 70% more likely to develop heart disease than women, experienced no depression in the same period. Weak men in the hand over not seem to be any more likely to develop heart disease than men, were not depressed.
The study provides the results of similar studies in the past have established that depression is closely linked with heart problems. It is suspected that cortisol, which is a stress hormone that is found in higher levels in stressed individuals. High levels of cortisol are of the view that many negative effects on the body such as increased blood pressure, impaired insulin sensitivity, and increased levels of fat around the abdomen area.
It is also possible that depressed people are less likely to care about their Health and therefore might be in poor lifestyle choices such as poor dietary habits, smoking, drinking, and a lack of physical exercise.
While this particular study have not found a direct link between depression and heart disease in men, other studies have found evidence of Relationship. A study published in the British Medical Journal in 1998 found that men who had been diagnosed with depression three times more disease.
Heart develop heart disease is the leading cause of death in the Western world and accounts for more than a quarter of all deaths in the United States each year.

China has announced tariff hikes on $US75 billion ($A110 billion) of US products in retaliation for President Donald Trump's planned increase, deepening a trade war that threatens to tip the global economy into recession.
The tariffs of 10 per cent and five per cent take effect on two batches of goods on September 1 and December 15, the official Xinhua News Agency said.
It gave no details of what goods would be affected but the timing matches Trump's planned duty hikes.
The spiralling conflict over China's trade surplus and technology ambitions has fuelled concern among companies and investors that it might drag down already weakening global economic growth.
China's government appealed to Trump this week to compromise in order to break a deadlock in negotiations.
Trump previously announced plans to raise tariffs on an additional $300 billion of Chinese goods after talks broke down in May.
They were due to take effect September 1 but some were postponed to December 15.

Are this chick's parents Aunt Becky and some Italian dude?

Obviously, some rich parents ensured their little bundle of joy made it into college based on her crewing skills (and a half million dollars). But if truth be told, sweetie-pie's only crewing skills are probably closer to when she tore through the football team's offensive line on Prom Night.

Becoming involved in charity or philanthropic work is a deeply rewarding pursuit. When a person becomes involved in his or her community, they have the satisfaction of knowing that they have helped to support important initiatives and bettered the lives of their fellow citizens. Many people might not know where to start when getting involved in charities. Dr. Maninderpal Mand offers suggestions for people who want to make a difference in their community.
Find Your Passion
Choosing an organization can be simple when you consider what you feel passionate about. Are you interested in environmental causes or children's issues? Finding an organization which supports these causes can be an easy way to get involved in the community.
For example, if you are interested in fostering young people's need to belong in their community, you may want to become involved with the Girl Scouts or Boy Scouts. If you are concerned with preserving our historical past, join the team at an art museum.
Decide What Level of Involvement You Want
You may be so busy with your own enterprise that you do not have time to spend working directly with the charity. In this case, monetary donations are always appreciated. Local nonprofits are always grateful to their donors, especially if the amount is generous. If you can't make a lump sum gift, sign up to pay a smaller amount monthly. Many large employers will match their employees' charitable donations to established nonprofits.
If you have more time, you may want to start volunteering at the grassroots level. Maninderpal Mand highly recommends working closely with your organization in your community is a rewarding way to spend your free time. It is also possible to volunteer at the organizational level, serving on committees, but generally, you will need to have spent some time volunteering before you can be chosen for such a pursuit.
Decide How Much Time You Can Spend
Becoming involved with a local charity can be overwhelming at times. Many organizations are understaffed, and when they find a new helper with time on his or her hands, they may try to monopolize your time. It is wise to block out the number of hours you are willing to spend on this pursuit beforehand. Many people who are involved in charity pursuits experience burnout when they try to do too much. Keep your boundaries firm, and others will respect them.
Start Local Events
Another way to support local nonprofits is to start a fundraising event. For example, if you want to fundraise for a local animal shelter, you may want to hold a fundraising dinner dance. Volunteering to run such an event can draw on many skills which are gained in the business world. Coordinating the venue, food, and entertainment is a large job, but the amount of money that a charity can bring in makes it worthwhile. These events help to encourage attendees to put their own time and money into volunteering for the organization. You will feel good about your contribution to the community, and you will become respected in local philanthropic circles.
Set Up a Foundation
If you have the means, you may want to consider setting up a charitable foundation. Your foundation can make gifts to deserving nonprofits and can serve as a clearinghouse for donations for the local community. Setting up a charitable foundation can also bring major benefits in the form of tax breaks.
Get Involved
These tips will help you get involved with local charities at any level. Time is as valuable as money, but when a person is very busy, simple monetary donations are always appreciated. You can choose your level of involvement and your level of contact with the grassroots level of your chosen organization. Becoming involved with fundraising efforts is rewarding as well.
Whatever level of involvement you choose, you will be bettering the community and possibly gaining tax advantages. Dr. Maninderpal Mand encourages everyone to take the time to become an important part of the local community.

[a plague on all images, I say!] the art of acquiring a good marketing agent is an important skill.
It is an art, alas, that those of us immune to the charms of idolatry have definitely not managed to acquire.
And so it has come to pass, in these latter days of godless frivolity, that we Reformers have been caricatured and much maligned for dourness, an earnestness of temperament, joyless zeal and even the occasional tasteless accusations that we are... shall we say... somewhat lacking in mirth and merriment.
Lies, foul lies!
Did we not invent the
'Reformation Polka'? [one of Brother Martin's better moves, despite his dodgy theology]
Have we not laughed at the irony of Christian graffiti and quietly derided such dieting groups as 'be slim 4 Him' and 'more of Jesus, less of me'?
Why, even on my death-bed, did I not ask for a cask of wine for my guests and joke in a most jolly and japish manner: 'well, I might be finished before you are, lads!'
Trust me, brethren and sistren, when you're standing looking down the abyss into the face of the oncoming apocalypse, the importance of having cultivated a well-developed sense of humour should never be underestimated...
[Um, incidentally, not that I'm bothered about image you understand, but does this Preaching BeardTM make my bum look too big?]

Even when everything seems to go wrong and you can do nothing to make it right.
I just accept it, take it as it is and move on.
I can spend today to moan about it, but tomorrow is a new day and i never know what will bring.
I will make sure i keep my hope up and take on tomorrow with all my strengths and optimism.
I know that nothing can take me down unless i give doubt to myself and stop to believe in myself
Always smile, always be positive and stay heathy, nothing will cost you more than the sick bed.

2020 Kia Soul Vs. 2019 Hyundai Kona
If you want the perfect combination of capability, comfort and agility, you've probably looked at the subcompact SUV space for its charming ability to serve as a "small wonder." Vehicles in this class have a special kind of energy that other segments just can't capture. They may be small (often built on the platforms of subcompact cars), but they have an optimistic spirit that doesn't bow down to challenges or obstacles.
Having all but explicitly created this segment, the Kia Soul is better than ever for 2020. The new model year brings more than just aesthetic changes to the robust and perky crossover. Among new features drivers will love are standard Apple CarPlay/Android Auto-compatible infotainment, more cargo space than ever before and a brand-new trim-level structure that lets you choose between seven distinct models. Up against the 2020 Kia Soul is the small SUV from Kia's frenemies, Hyundai. Let's see how they stack up:

The Kia Soul = an Ongoing Revolution
As you can see in the above chart, the Hyundai Kona and Kia Soul have a lot in common. It makes sense considering that the brands of origin between the two are as closely related as Hyundai and Kia are.
When you look at the advantages and disadvantages provided by each model, however, you begin to see where the 2020 Kia Soul pulls away as the more sensible and fun option. For starters, the 2020 Kia Soul gives you a turbocharged engine with over 200 horsepower of spirited thrill.
That's just the beginning, however. For drivers who will need to use any other seat in their car, the experience is incomparable. Rear-seat passengers will love the additional 4+ inches of legroom afforded by the 2020 Kia Soul. Meanwhile, those with luggage or gear will appreciate having the cargo volume of a bigger SUV in a vehicle that is much more easily parked.
At Friendly Kia, we have the 2020 Kia Soul in stock with more models arriving all of the time. If you're interested in test-driving the 2020 Kia Soul and would like to see its invigorating capability in person, we'd love to help. Contact us today to schedule a test drive or ask a question about the newest Soul.

Good morning,
I have been a part of 423 men for nearly 2 years.
I wanted to write and express to you what a difference 423 ministry makes in our community. A brief story; I became a Christian when I was 21, a lone wolf in my family and very confused about life. I've been a part of several Churches and Bible studies, and programs focusing on accountability. While these were thriving Churches that impacted many in our community, I was living a life of deep pain from my past wounds: the loss of my mom when I was 9, my alcoholic dad, and a stepmom who dripped with hatred for me. I was never taught how to deal with these wounds, and as a result I spent much of my adult life addicted to sin.
Things changed when I came to 423 nearly 2 years ago. For the first time, I was taught by our team how to deal with the issues of the heart, instead of trying to just mask the pain. The cirriculum and the support of the men created an environment where I was able to put down my pain and deal with my wounds in a safe environment, and let God work in my life at last. While I am still dealing with my wounds today, I don't use the sin I once did to mask the pain in my life. I have been married just over a year, and I have been completely faithful to my wife in both mind and heart, something that I'm not so sure would happen if I hadn't gone through this program and if God hadn't got a hold of me.
I wanted to express my apreciation for the 423 Men, and it's deep impact it has had with me and many other men. For nearly a year, I have been a leader of our program after obtaining consistent sobriety, and I have seen similar transformations in so many other men in our group. I felt that the leaders of our Church should know the impact it has.
Note: If you'd like to speak directly to the man who wrote the above letter or anyone in 423 Men, please make your request at email@example.com.

Ned Lamont is at it again.
The last we heard from the Connecticut cable-television tycoon, he was chasing Sen. Joe Lieberman out of the Democratic Party, besting the incumbent in the party's 2006 primary in a move that ultimately cost the Democrats a seat when Lieberman became an independent and won that fall. On Monday, Lamont returned to his meddlesome ways, traveling to Philadelphia to endorse Rep. Joe Sestak, who is aiming to pull a Lamont by knocking off Sen. Arlen Specter in next May's primary. The only difference? Sestak might actually win the seat. Although the Navy veteran has managed to raise only half as much cash as Specter, who enjoys the full weight of the White House behind him, he's pulled within a few points of Specter and is even with the Republican candidate in the polls.
Lamont can offer Sestak lessons in how to best play David to Specter's Goliath—and how to use the Internet to do it.
A few hours after an afternoon endorsement ceremony with Philadelphia's Independence Hall serving as a backdrop, Lamont told The Daily Beast that he sees Sestak's campaign against Specter as very much like his own challenge of Lieberman. Lamont attacked the 2000 vice-presidential nominee for his support of the Iraq War and lack of support for progressive causes. Sestak's run, which goes against the wishes of President Barack Obama and Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, is fueled by a similar angst—a fear that Specter, who was a Republican for 44 years and switched parties this spring, can't be trusted to hew the party line.
"Sestak shares Democratic principles. That comes not from political calculation, it comes from the heart," Lamont said at the press conference.
"We had a great time," Lamont said in an interview. "I endorsed Joe Sestak in front of Independence Hall, saluting his courage."
Although a military man for 31 years, Sestak seems to relish bucking the chain of command. He was happy to have Lamont along to aid in the insurrection. When asked about running against the White House and the party establishment, Sestak likes to cite the Whiskey Rebellion as an example of his state's attitude toward authority. He brought up the 1794 uprising again yesterday.
Lamont laughed. "You didn't want to pay a little tax on whiskey?" he asked.
"We wanted something to celebrate with," Sestak said.
Their celebratory moment was nearly drowned out by the sound of Air Force Two landing in the state the same day. Vice President Joe Biden was in Pennsylvania to stump for Specter. A visit from the president last month netted Specter $2.5 million. Biden told an audience Monday that without Specter's vote for the stimulus bill, "we would probably be in the depression." Specter returned the love, saying Biden was "the most influential and powerful vice president in our history." Still, despite the added pomp and purse of the White House, Specter's lead in the polls has shrunk from 19 points in June to 13 in early August to four points last week.
Facing the onslaught launched by Obama and Co., Sestak, a Navy admiral, saw his fundraising decline last quarter, dropping from $1 million to $758,000. That's where Lamont comes in. When he ran for the Senate in 2006, Lamont was a darling of Internet activists, who reveled in the possibility of taking down Lieberman. The same group, with an assist from Lamont, could be taken with Sestak as well. At the August gathering of Netroots Nation in Pittsburgh, where Sestak and Specter squared off in a debate, Sestak outpolled his opponent nearly five to one. At ActBlue, the online Democratic fundraising organization, Sestak has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars in each of the last three election cycles. Specter has raised $797 on the site this cycle. Lamont can offer Sestak lessons in how to best play David to Specter's Goliath—and how to use the Internet to do it.
Adrian Arroyo, deputy communications director at ActBlue, said Lamont was a leader in a class of candidates in 2006, "when the netroots really broke into politics. Lamont getting Sestak's back running against Arlen Specter—I hope that is a broader trend we will see going forward. The larger story is of young Democrats who have been empowered by this new online fundraising mechanism getting each others' backs."
Howie Klein of Blue America PAC, which has raised nearly $3 million for progressive candidates since 2006, said that Lamont was his group's "first big success story." While he said the online liberal community respects the Connecticut Democrat, he said Lamont's association with Sestak wouldn't guarantee that progressive support would immediately follow.
"The netroots community is pretty sophisticated and does not just go along with an endorsement," Klein said.
His group has yet to endorse any candidates for the 2010 campaign but said that Sestak's stance on Afghanistan—he is in favor of troop escalation—may prevent Blue America from signing on. But they won't be backing his opponent, either.
"We are certainly not going to be endorsing Arlen Specter. That's not going to happen," Klein said.
For his part, Specter sought to turn Lamont's visit to his own advantage. "Lamont was a lifelong Democrat. Sestak has only been a Democrat since 2006," Specter campaign manager Chris Nicholas said, referring to the year that Sestak registered in the party.
"Sen. Specter was proud to be with Vice President Biden and a hundred rank-and-file Democrats at a fundraiser in Pittsburgh. Those are the voters we are concerned about," Nicholas said.
For Specter, there's an unappreciated irony in Sestak's insurgency. The Pennsylvania senator fled from the Republican Party as he was being outflanked on the right by Rep. Pat Toomey. Now Sestak is having success running from the left with the same charge of ideological impurity. Throughout the campaign, Sestak and Toomey have found common cause, presenting themselves as the candidates of principle against the wishy-washy Specter.
"I disagree violently with many of the ideas that Pat Toomey espouses," Sestak said. "However, that doesn't mean he doesn't take stands and principles he believes in."
"In the end of the day, we're stuck in Pennsylvania with whoever wins the primary," Sestak said. "I think [Obama] does want a true Democrat in his heart of hearts. I also believe he has had to help control Arlen Specter. He provides the carrots. I provide the sticks."
Lamont will do what he can to help—and hope that Sestak might succeed where he could not. "The difference is that the day that Joe wins the primary, Obama, [Gov. Ed] Rendell, Biden will have a sigh of relief and enthusiastically endorse his candidacy. He runs ahead of Toomey today. It wasn't quite the same for me."

Middle East cargo carriers suffered some of the sharpest declines in year-on-year growth in air freight volumes in the summer.
Demand for freight carrying decreased by nearly 4% globally in August, compared to the same period in 2018, according to new data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
It marks the tenth consecutive month of year-on-year decline in freight volumes, the longest period since the global financial crisis in 2008.
Freight capacity, measured in available freight tonne kilometers (AFTKs), rose by 2% year-on-year in August 2019. Capacity growth has now outstripped demand growth for the 16th consecutive month.
Air cargo continues to face strong headwinds from the intensifying trade war between the US and China, as well as weakness in some of the key economic indicators and rising political uncertainties worldwide. Global trade volumes are 1% lower than a year ago, according to the report.
Trade in emerging countries has been underperforming that of advanced nations throughout most of 2019. This is due to higher sensitivity of the emerging economies to trade tensions, rising political instability and sharp currency depreciation in some of the key emerging markets.
Airlines in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East suffered the sharpest declines in year-on-year growth in total air freight volumes, while North America and Europe experienced more moderate declines.
Middle Eastern airlines' freight volumes decreased 6.7% in August 2019 compared to the year-ago period.
This was the sharpest drop in freight demand of any region. Capacity decreased by 0.8%. Escalating trade tensions, the slowing in global trade and airline restructuring have impacted the region's performance since the fourth quarter of 2018.
Economic uncertainty from oil price volatility among the region's oil reliant markets has added additional pressure.
Alexandre de Juniac, IATA's CEO, said: "The impact of the US-China trade war on air freight volumes was the clearest yet in August. Year-on-year demand fell by 3.9%. Not since the global financial crisis in 2008 has demand fallen for 10 consecutive months. This is deeply concerning.
"And with no signs of a détente on trade, we can expect the tough business environment for air cargo to continue. Trade generates prosperity. Trade wars don't. That's something governments should not forget."

A study involving INSTAAR researchers takes a new view of glaciers and ice sheets as self-organized critical systems, which may explain why a slight climate change can mean the difference between relatively stable ice and the complete collapse of entire ice shelves.
Driven by global warming over the next century, ice sheets and glaciers will contribute significantly to sea level rise through melting and "calving"—the breaking off of ice into the ocean. Observed rates of iceberg calving are not easy to reproduce in computer simulations, and their rapid, nonlinear fluctuations are especially difficult to predict under a changing climate. Better simulation of iceberg calving, and therefore more precise projections of sea level rise, remains a challenge in preparing for a warming world.
A new study published in Nature Geoscience this week found that calving is governed by the same power-law distributions that govern avalanching sand piles and epidemics, among other phenomena. That means that a glacier terminus can readily flip between a state of sub-critical advance and super-critical retreat in response to small changes in climate and geometric conditions. The researchers argue that their view of glaciers as self-organizing critical systems might explain why we are seeing glaciers retreat suddenly and ice shelves collapse in response to gradual warming in the environment—they may be systems fluctuating around their critical points.
To understand calving event rates and timing, INSTAAR PhD student Ethan Welty compiled a catalog of observations that spans 12 orders of magnitude, with data from Alaska, Svalbard, Greenland, and Antarctica. "It is actually the first time all this data has been compiled, some of it published for the first time," says Welty. The researchers compared the calving data with simulations from a first-principles, particle-based numerical simulation that models calving events as the fracture of millions of individual ice blocks.
They found that calving events obey universal scaling laws. "This means that the probability of calving events obey a particular pattern no matter if they are small or large events—much like the Gutenberg–Richter law for earthquakes," explains lead author Jan Åström of the CSC–IT Centre for Science, Finland.
Calving is thus extremely and unavoidably sensitive to its environment: a slight climate change can mean the difference between very little calving and the complete disintegration of entire ice shelves. This new view of iceberg calving explains the observed, sudden collapse of ice shelves and sudden retreat of tidewater glaciers as the polar regions gradually warm.
The authors, from Finland, Sweden, the United States, China, and Russia, propose that investigating ice sheets and glaciers as self-organizing critical systems can help better predict sea level rise. "More specifically, our results suggest that fluctuations—i.e., large, spontaneous events—dominate the sea level signal," says Welty. "There is no such thing as an 'average' calving rate. Rather than trying to find better deterministic calving 'laws,' our results suggest that it might be more constructive to investigate how close particular glaciers are to their critical point and thus how sensitive they may be to near-future changes in climatic and geometric conditions."

One of the questions I find most amusing at candidate debates during the election campaign is the inevitable variation on the refrain, "if elected, how will you get more people interested in municipal politics?" The question of course refers implicitly, and sometimes directly, to the poor turnout of voters in local elections — around 35 per cent of eligible voters in recent history — which is a fair enough phenomenon about which to wonder. But demanding an answer of candidates supposes not only that politicians can or should do something about it, but also that increasing raw vote counts are ends in themselves, or more precisely that democracy is an end in itself and one whose success is measured entirely in the number of marches made to polling booths on occasion every few years. In any case, candidates seeking the authority of democratic "representativeness" are simultaneously flattered by the premises behind the question and dazzled by its unanswerability according to those premises, and every time they energetically return utter bafflegab about town hall meetings or open door policies… as if the same people who would bother politicians in their office or at meetings are not the same people who already bother to vote. The smoothest return, of course, is made by incumbent mayor Anne Marie DeCicco-Best who unfalteringly touts the ease of the city's new advance polls in shopping malls, as if to encourage idle "hey, what's in that booth" voting… although that could never be a bad thing if you're an incumbent with name recognition.

I have a job! Wooooohoooooo! I did get my contract Wednesday so I know for sure I will be employed for the next year in Atlanta. What a relief! It is nice knowing I will not be splitting schools or going into something blind. So that is the good (great!) news, for the not-so-great news, I have nowhere to live! Yet… My roommates have decided to move into a two bedroom (long story but I am going to be a lady and say it's for the best.) So now, I am in the process of finding a one bedroom so I can live on my own again. I think that is going to be my best bet and I think I will be happiest this way. I have been checking out some places online and will be going to look at some soon 🙂 Like I keep saying, everything always works out the way it is supposed to, so even though it is a minor setback right now, it will be for the best eventually. I just wish it wasn't during the last month of school!
Which brings me to that—4 more weeks of school!!! So unreal! There is a lot of craziness going on with our contracts and post-planning days and such so I am praying that it all gets worked out…even if it means I need to get a FOURTH job, haha. But seriously. And, speaking of other jobs, they have been working my butt off at the zoo this weekend! I enjoy it but I am completely exhausted when I am done! My goal is to be out of the shower, teeth brushed, and in bed by 9 tonight (earlier would be completely acceptable).
With all this "life" going on, I can't wait until I am with my honey all the time and can enjoy time with him and enjoy having a place for us. I love looking at interior design/decorating ideas and seeing all the fun stuff I wanna do one day when I actually STAY somewhere, lol….

26 CFR § 1.522-1 - Tax treatment of farmers' cooperative marketing and purchasing associations exempt under section 521.
(a) In general.
(1) Section 522 is applicable to farmers', fruit growers', or like associations organized and operated on a cooperative basis in the manner prescribed in section 521. Although such an association is subject to both normal tax and surtax, as in the case of corporations generally, certain special rules for the computation of taxable income are provided in section 522(b) and § 1.522-2. For the purpose of any law which refers to organizations exempt from income taxes such an association shall, however, be considered as an organization exempt under section 501. Thus, the provisions of section 243, providing a credit for dividends received from a domestic corporation subject to taxation, are not applicable to dividends received from a cooperative association subject to section 522. The provisions of section 1501, relating to consolidated returns, are likewise not applicable.
(2) Rules governing the manner in which amounts allocated as patronage dividends, refunds, or rebates are to be taken into account in computing the taxable income of such an association are set forth in § 1.522-3. For the tax treatment, as to patrons, of amounts received during the taxable year as patronage dividends, rebates, or refunds, see section 61 and § 1.61-5.
(b) Meaning of terms. For purposes of §§ 1.522-1 to 1.522-3, inclusive, §§ 1.6044-1 and 1.61-5, the following terms shall have the meaning ascribed below:
(1) Cooperative association. The term cooperative association includes any corporation operating on a cooperative basis and allocating amounts to patrons on the basis of the business done with or for such patrons, except that the term does not include any cooperative or nonprofit corporation (including any cooperative or nonprofit corporation engaged in rural electrification) exempt from taxation under section 501(a) and described in section 501(c) (12) or (15) or any corporation subject to a tax imposed by subchapter L, chapter 1 of the Code (relating to insurance companies).
(2) Patron. The term patron includes any person with whom or for whom the cooperative association does business on a cooperative basis, whether a member or a nonmember of the cooperative association, and whether an individual, a trust, estate, partnership, company, corporation, or cooperative association.
(3) Allocation. The term allocation includes distributions made by a cooperative association to a patron in cash, merchandise, capital stock, revolving fund certificates, retain certificates, certificates of indebtedness, letters of advice, similar documents, or in any other manner whereby there is disclosed to a patron the dollar amount apportioned on the books of the association for the account of such patron. Thus, a mere credit to the account of a patron on the books of the cooperative association, without disclosure to the patron, is not an allocation.
(4) Patronage dividends, rebates, and refunds. The term patronage dividend, rebate, or refund includes any amount allocated by a cooperative association, to the account of a patron on the basis of the business done with or for such patron. The following are not patronage dividends, rebates, or refunds:
(i) Amounts distributed in redemption of capital stock, or in redemption or satisfaction of certificates of indebtedness, revolving fund certificates, retain certificates, letters of advice, or other similar documents;
(ii) Amounts allocated (whether in cash, merchandise, capital stock, revolving fund certificates, retain certificates, certificates of indebtedness, letters of advice, or in some other manner that discloses to each patron the amount of such dividend, refund, or rebate) by the association for products of members or other patrons to the extent such amounts are fixed without reference to the earnings of the cooperative association. For this purpose, the term earnings includes the excess of amounts retained (or assessed) by the association to cover expenses or other items over the amount of such expenses or other items.
(c) Examples. The application of paragraph (b) of this section may be illustrated by the following examples:
The amount of patronage dividends, rebates, or refunds allocated to W during 1954 amount to 5 cents per unit, consisting of the aggregate of the following per-unit allocations: The amount of cash distribution (3 cents), and the face value of the capital stock of A (2 cents), which are fixed with reference to the earnings of A. The amount of the two distributions in cash (85 cents) and the face amount of the retain certificate (5 cents), which are fixed without reference to the earnings of A, do not constitute patronage dividends, rebates, or refunds.
(d) Returns of exempt cooperative associations. For requirements of annual returns by exempt cooperative associations, see sections 6012 and 6072(d) and paragraph (f) of § 1.6012-2.

We all have dreams of a better life, pursuing what matters to us most, maybe making a living off of our passions, putting ourselves in environments we enjoy, and, of course, having more freedom and time to enjoy life.
We can spend so much time thinking about that far off future, but someday only gets a day closer when we dedicate time in our daily lives to making it work.
The difference between a writer and a thinker is a pen and a plan.
It can be SO easy to put off your dreams for weeks, months, or even years by simply not scheduling your work, or having long term goals without the short term goals that will get you there one step at a time.
If I spend my spare time with a plan, I feel better, and I set myself up for a good week. Getting groceries before I run out, cooking something huge I can take to work for lunch half the week. And building a foundation for my future. And watching more motivational videos than Netflix when I do chill.
Sarah Nourse has been a massive source of inspiration for me over the last few weeks. Along with having devastatingly gorgeous hair, and European flair, she's inspired me to get serious about saving money, as well as get back into the habit of setting short and long term goals, to get more of what I have to share to more of you lovely goddesses (you're welcome 😘).
I strongly recommend (do iiiiiit) that you get out a notebook and write some serious goals.
What are all of the steps required to get you there, and how much time and focus can you put into it each week to make it happen?
(Seriously, stop reading and think these things through, and write them down.)
Once you have your long term and short term goals worked out on paper, you can break things down into simple day to day tasks, that keep you focused and productive. (Sarah explains it like a seasoned pro.)
So, that's it! The only other thing is to follow through, and keep doing it. What's great for this is having a special part of your day, and maybe a special spot, to make your daily to-do list and accomplish what your dream needs you to. 😉 🌸 🌱
And having an accountability partner, or coach, can make a world of difference in keeping you consistent week after week. Who's a friend who will check in with you to make sure you're not putting your dreams on the back burner?
And, as always, I'm happy as a hunmingbird to have your back, Goddess to Goddess.
Much love, and keep rockin',
Aquarian Goddess Jen

When words are not enough, we turn to images and symbols to tell our stories. In imagery, things are not linear- there is no beginning and end as in a verbal story.
A painter at one time is showing you one frame, but a film-maker can take you into an experience and an existential atmosphere that may be a trip for you. - Tilda Swinton
"Film-making is it technological fulfillment of our most basic human need, the need to communicate."
Sale's Pitch/'The Hook'
Promo & Ads
(finding viewers by generating reaction and interest through buzz i.e. 'word-of-mouth')
Rule of threes
Function of an "Act" - think of it as a dramatic question introduced into the story, persisting until the question is answered and the protagonist has made a decision/desire that results in sending the question into a new direction
1. Intro: Set-up implies Establishing Themes/Ideas/Argument (shown through action)
- Foreshadowing whats to come
- "Internal Logic" of the Story: Some understanding of this new alternate World/reality (even if it raises more question - later pay-off) and showing and defining, to the audience, each relevant Characters personality-type and believe-able/strong-personal motivations (non-cartoonist). The basic premise has to be believable but not predictable. It can be annoying if its done in an over-indulging/over-done way.
- A character first impression gives important info to the viewer regarding what personality-type they should assume about that character.
2A. Confrontation implies Conflict: Action in order to build-up tension.
2B. Emotional Climax (emotionally build-up reaching the cliffhanger, then release of audience tension)
After all, its the memorable moments created during pressure/failures, as the character is pushed to make his/her choices, that drive the plot forward and not the opposite way around. Its also crucial, for the success of the re-telling of a hero's journey, that the audiences can relate/emphasis when a character as he/she discovers his/her true self.
- "Show don't tell rule" of Exposition (giving dry backstory info to viewers) either though direct action and interesting moments between charismatic characters in which unseeingly the info slips out.
3. Catastrophic Showdown: Resolution implies audience Pay-off victory (or downfall if its a tragedy) during final true test.
1. Narcissist
2. Royal blood with valour legacy
3. Trying hard to be a Cool dude but with no talent
4. Over-religious man who strictly follows every letter in the book
5. Mega Paranoid
6. A big Lier (hidden fear everyone is judging him/her)
7. A simple-minded villager
8. Cliche bad villain who you laugh at
9. Unhealthy fans
10. My team vs your team rivals
Use the 'Rule of threes' also for:
Plot Structure
- Each Act is made of an irreversible emotional choice the main character makes under pressure (during conflict).
- Each Act has to be roughly balanced in length (around 90,000 - 100,000 words) with the rest in order to keep audience's interest alive. A good rule of thumb: Each Act has an average of 60-70 scenes per 10 – 15 sequences i.e. 5 – 7 scenes per sequence.
Composition of the mood/style of a scene
(natural/realistic looking or god-mode/objective looking or attention-seeking exaggerated way)
- staging,
- blocking
- covering
Execution/treatment of thematically-motivated Mood/tone & Style (using good grammar)
(motivated in order to reinforce viewer's understanding of a point being made)
- Viewer is guided by "eye-line" and contrast and motion.
- Showing a clear image of a character's big 'eyes' makes the viewer subconsciously relate to that character.
- Visual lines and exaggerated emphasis makes it easy to guide the viewer's eyes.
The purpose/function of the energetic burst of A complex-edited Montage
- Budget: The regional film takes 45 days to be completed with a budget of around 35-40 lakhs. (Indie national level digital shoots requires 10x more budget i.e. around 11.5-12.5 lakhs per day)
- Director: The captain who excels in scene construction and its 'break-down sheets', understanding the objective, articulately communicating to the various teams and coordination them to make the story. Continuity, log sheets, details of the 'set design', props, costumes and makeup, which are all thematically-motivated for the right mood/tone and style.
- Actor: Performance that breaths life into the story by making a character and actions believable, without begging the viewers to be emotionally invested in them. They are responsible for the creating good drama within the action and make it feel real and relatable (instead of feeling like choreographed toys). The reaction insert is entirely depended on the actor to convey a character's inner emotions. Technically, actors must be able to recall and repeat, 50-60 times on cue, their expressions and rigidly planned/defined physical movements; and yet, make it look natural.
- Editor: Final innovative execution that gives meaning to the whole story, by structuring the plot (and thematically-motivated mood/tone and style). He's responsible for guiding the viewer in order for them to process the meaning correctly. If the work doesn't resonate and makes profit, it the work is a failure.
- Cinematographer: Helping the Director in pre-visualising his/her interpretation, during planning and capturing, the moments of interactions between people, movement, light and form. Testing tone and composition (of reasonable variety in narrative useful types of cuts and frames/angles) of pieces of moments made in (thematically-motivated) different locations with mood/atmosphere lighting, in the cheapest way.
- Production manager: Reducing the Director's stress and being responsible for budgeting, details of cast & crew, renting equipment, daily scheduling, permission for location/floor and publicity.
- Audio: Mixing sounds is essential as the human psyche is directly effected by it. Very importantly used as a match-cut tool (use of L-cut/J-cut or used for transitioning between two scenes).
- Animation can be Practical or Digital (software-based): 2d, 3d, clay or Stop-Motion.
- Sales: You have to understand the lives of your audience as people, and the price they are willing to pay for what they want or need.
- V.O. of 30 secs contains roughly 10-75 words.
"The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it."
"The weak willed are afraid of life. Weak willed individuals make otherworldly interpretations because they do not have the strength to face and rejoice in life with all its changes and polarities. The weak willed cannot face the impermanence and what they believe to be the injustice of earthly life. Thus there is only the apparent escape of metaphysics and religion."
We see, however that we have two kinds of unconscious — that which is latent but capable of becoming conscious, and that which is repressed and not capable of becoming conscious in the ordinary way. The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind. A man who has been the indisputable favorite of his mother keeps for life the feeling of a conqueror. God is nothing more than an powerful father. A poor girl may have an illusion that a prince will come and fetch her home. It is possible, some such cases have occurred. That the Messiah will come and found a golden age is much less probable.
