Little Lost wrote:I felt the YouTube clip about the 2 slit experiment seems to suggest that the action of simply visually "looking" at an electron, is what made it change its behavior, and in addition to this you ask "How does MATTER know it was being observed"
So the starting point is we know that observing the electron changed something.
View 1
It is the observation itself that makes the wave function collapse. Either the electron is self-aware, or perhaps the consciousness mind can have an direct effect on the physical world, later in the post you put forward an whole array of many fantastic examples of such a possibility (DNA manipulation, consciously focusing on influencing random number generators). So this view has been well represented. However as you will be aware there is a camp 2 and possibly a camp 3, so for the sake of balance let's air them.
View 2:
In the experiment the observer is not a conscious agent, i.e, not a physicist actually directly visualising it. The observer is acyually a mechanical detector that is part of the experimental apparatus. In order to make an observation, this inorganic detector must interact with the electron, so this opens the possibility that it is the detector device and not a conscious person which collapses the wave function and destroys the interference pattern.
Steven Hawkins addresses this in his book "The Grand Design". He says it is the "REQUIRING TO SEE" that changes the course. To see things requires the detector to use photons (packages of light) to hit and reflect off the object in this case the electron. Despite photons having no mass or electrical charge they can still move other particles around. Therefore the bouncing of the photons off the electron changes its energy, momentum and position. The electrons state is irrevocably changed thereby altering the outcome of the experiment.
Hawking likens it to rolling of a football along the ground (the electron). Now throw balls at it from the side (the light photons). You are then going to change the way the football behaves by physical interaction. ( additionally if this takes place in the dark it would not be possible to know where or at what velocity the football was moving before the hit).
View 3:
So in this camp are non quantum mechanical explanations. For example some doubt that the electron fired is the same electron that is being detected, due to the inability to establish the trajectory path.
I think they have recently used other methods to try to determine which slit the particle (a photon this time) went through, without interfering with its wave-like properties. This seems to generate even more arguments and counterarguments. It is termed one of the most curious and perplexing puzzles in physics.
It is interesting that one day in the 1920's when Albert Einstein was out walking in the woods with one of his close friends, he suddenly turned around and asked 'does the moon continue to exist when we stop looking at it.
I do understand and was taught about the observer effect. That every measurement changes the object that we want to measure, and this give rise to the whole question of whether we can ever know the true nature of things. How much it influences an experiment I think depends on 2 factors, firstly how large an influence it is , and secondly how predictable are the changes they evoke Hidden variables is one of the main reasons that experiments have to be reproducible Not everything can be compensated for, but variables can be reduced.
Without doubt the "observer effect" is hugely frustrating for certain sciences such as quantum physics, where investigatory methods influence the situation and velocity of small particles. Also running out into a field of lions blinding them with camera flashes will influence the lions' behaviour, but how far should the "observer effect" be considered. For example should we stop taking patients temperatures because the very act of placing the cool probe in the armpit (or ear) will interfere with the result by lowering the actual true temperature, so the reading won't be true? No because the end result is the same, the patient has a high temperature. The observer effect has not been influential enough to render this equipment useless.
Radin et al attempted to differentiate in a series of double-slit experiments that appear to favor the consciousness-related interpretation of QM.

Hey Dad, Guess What!
Here's a fun game for Father's Day: tell dad you got him a special cake that represents your relationship together. Make a big deal out of it - maybe work up a tear or two, if you can.
Then hand him this:
...and just look at him expectantly.
Remember, if you laugh, you'll totally ruin it.
I know you're scrolling down here looking for the answer, but in all honestly I have no idea what that is. Someone told me it's a hat, but I'm just not buying it.
Speaking of which, here's another "hat" I'm not buying:
You know, if it weren't for these punny sayings I wouldn't know what half the wrecks I see are supposed to be.
Not that this label is helping me any:
It looks like one of those awareness ribbons. Is there some new Handyman cause I should know about?
"Stop Corporate Tools. Support Your Local Handyman."
Dang it, now I kind of hope that's it.
Don't even tell me if I'm wrong; I need this to be a thing.
And now, some unfortunately fishy pole action:
Talk about the catch of the day!
No, on second thought, we'd better not.
("You should have seen it, guys! It was THIS BIG.")
I think I've featured this next cupcake cake [patooie!] design every year since Cake Wrecks began, and yet STILL the bakeries keep churning it out:
Seriously. Can you tell what this is? NO YOU CANNOT. Don't even pretend. If you can tell what this is, you're probably a witch. Or you weigh the same as a duck. Or you've been turned into a newt.
Harsh? Maybe a little. But you'll get better.
You don't mind a little course humor, do you?
Although, really, all I see is a sea-sick Fail Whale.
What, you don't see it?
[pointing] A WITCH!!
Father/child hand prints are SO last year. The newest thing?
Skeleton hand prints.
(Five bucks says you just counted those "fingers.")
(You did, didn't you?)
(A-HA!! I knew it.)
(Wait, what are you doing? Where are you taking me? WHY IS THIS DUCK HERE?!)
Ashley W., Leah Q., Jen W., Matt A., Kathy J., Jessica P., & Kat J., I'm NOT a witch. I'm not. And tell John to stay out of this discussion. THAT LEFTOVER BURRITO WAS FAIR GAME. Plus I was hungry.

Gov's state park initiative deserves public support
Gov. James Douglas and Natural Resources Sec. George Crombie announced an important initiative late last week to consider ways to restore and revitalize the state park system. The first step in that hoped-for outcome is to create a 20-member commission to craft a game plan.Win Smith, president of Sugarbush Resort in Warren, and Tom Hark, founding president of the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps, are the chairman and vice-chairman respectively. Their recommendations to the governor are to be delivered by Jan. 31, 2008. One of the interesting early suggestions made by the governor and Human Resources Sec. Cynthia LaWare is to offer employment of some of the state's young and underemployed residents."The governor and I recognize that every Vermonter has unique talents and deserves the chance for meaningful employment," LaWare said. "Just as the Vermont economy will require every qualified job seeker to meet the needs of the business community, Vermont State Parks will need to utilize every available individual to help in this rebuilding effort."With a willingness to tap underemployed Vermonters and a realistic assessment of the parks' need for significant "innovation," the commission apparently has a green light from the governor to pursue bold and long-lasting changes that will boost the state's recreational and environmental pursuits for decades to come. That's excellent news for local residents and for businesses affiliated with Vermont tourism — an area of the state's economy that has been under-funded for decades and could benefit from creative thinking.The good news on this particular front is that Vermont has a strong foundation on which to build. The state park system is comprised of 52 parks with about 48,000 acres. There are 29 public beaches within those parks and 2,292 campsites spread among 41 campgrounds. The parks attracted 672,927 visitors in 2006, but spent $7.1 million while only bringing in $6.1 million in receipts.An early and obvious objective is to balance annual expenses with revenues coming in to make the system financially self-sustaining. But a bigger problem remains: Early estimates by Craig Whipple, director of the state parks, suggest that $40 million to $50 million is needed to update and repair the existing infrastructure. Broken fireplaces and antiquated bathrooms are commonplace and better sources of drinking water are needed.Employing the state's youth and underemployed to help in these renovation efforts is certainly one avenue to pursue. But there are many other approaches relying on the good will of regular users that can accomplish much at little cost. Community groups such as the Lions Club, Rotary Club and American Legion often look favorably on fund-raising efforts to improve facilities that benefit area youth, recreation and fitness. Area schools that often use the facilities might be able to coordinate non-school workdays, or workdays that could incorporate an environmental and recreational theme. Sporting groups that promote hunting, fishing and outdoor recreation could rally members to help rebuild fireplaces, while more sophisticated efforts could refurbish restroom facilities. Local Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops, 4-H and other groups could also provide help. In short, the number of hours of volunteer help (either fund-raising or actual work) that could be amassed for such a good cause is enormous.Finally, the usage fees of America's parks are typically priced far below what the market would bear. On a recent trip to the Canadian Rockies I spent $8.50 each day I was driving through the Banff-Lake Louise-Jasper corridor and that was just for the use of the roads. To camp anywhere was another fee of several dollars — and yet the roads were packed and the campgrounds full. The message is simple: Provide a good product and the public will gladly pay a fee that will ensure adequate maintenance to provide for the facilities' routine upgrades.Adequate maintenance is not happening today, however, and that's undoubtedly part of the impetus behind the governor's new initiative. The governor deserves kudos for putting this issue on the table, along with the public's enthusiastic support of the commission's effort to craft a successful game plan.

New World Vultures now range from Canada to Tierra del Fuego, southern
South America. Among the seven species are some spectacular and specialized
large birds. One of these is the King Vulture (the large birds in
the roost at left; the smaller ones are the widespread Black Vulture).
King Vultures are scarce across their wide range across the primary forests
and savanna of the Neotropics. Adults are primarily white-plumaged with
an incredible array of colors on their bare heads and necks; the particular
adult at left appears to have a full crop (bare skin in center of breast).
Young birds (and there is one above and to the left of the adult) are all-black,
including the bare head. It is rare enough to see a King Vulture gliding
over the forest from afar, so that when I had this opportunity to photograph
these at a roost in southern Brazil, I was so delighted that I crawled
through the thick grass to get this shot, subjecting my ankles to an attack
of chiggers that still itches incessantly lo this month later.....
The two species of condor are the other headliners among cathartid vultures, and the créme de la créme is the California Condor (right). This wonderful photo of an adult California Condor spreading its wings to the morning sun atop a huge tree on Mt. Pinos was taken in 1969 by Brad Schram. This was back when there were California Condors in the wild; back when I was fortunate enough to see wild condors from Mt. Pinos and several other southern California locales (an excellent resource for the history of California Condor is Wilbur 1978). By 1982, only 21 remained in the world and the decision was made to capture them all before they went extinct. The last wild condor was netted in April 1987 for an intensive attempt at captive breeding (after research on breeding Andean Condors Vultur gryphus had occurred). Fortunately, this massive effort -- the most expensive and complex effort to save a species ever undertaken -- has been successful to date. The first captive-born condors were released back into the wild in 1992 near the Mt. Pinos area of southern California, and by 1998 the world population (including captive birds) was 145.
Efforts to re-introduce the condor in its native range expanded to my
home county -- Monterey County -- in Dec 1997 & Jan 1999, when a dozen
young birds were released. Some have not fared well and had to be recaptured,
but others are still ranging widely. Just yesterday (this is written 5
Sep 1999), as Rita & I were driving up the Big Sur coast, we came upon
a circling flock of a dozen Turkey Vultures over a wilderness beach. And
with those vultures was a huge young condor, mastering the wind-currents
on huge square-ended wings! We pulled over, watched it land on a cliff-edge
and peer down to the hidden beach below, and then glide down for what we
presume was a meal on a washed-up seal or porpoise carcass (it bore a wing
tag showing #74; other youngsters have been watched by researchers recently
supplementing their diet with "wild" food rather than the still-born calves
that are otherwise set out for them). Considering that the first California
Condors described to science by British naturalist George Vancouver way
back in 1792 were foraging on dead whales on the shores of Monterey Bay,
it was astonishingly wonderful to watch a re-introduced "wild" condor foraging
along the wild Big Sur coast! [More information on the Monterey County
condors is at my "Condors
in Monterey County" web page and on the Ventana
Wilderness Society's website, a non-profit organization that funds
this project, successfully re-introduced Bald Eagles to the central California
coast, and operates the Big Sur Ornithology Lab. I recommend everyone to
join this great organization. Of course, such re-introduced birds are not
now "countable" for "listers," but if and when they produce wild young
from wild nests, they will be.....]
The California Condor photo above illustrates one typical cathartid vulture behavior, wing-sunning: many New World Vultures spend substantial time spreading their wings -- often early in the morning -- which both serves thermoregulatory functions and brings the plumage into good condition. Vultures tend to forage most of the day, riding thermal to thermal but searching for recently-dead meat over a wide range, but return to communal roosts at night. The two Turkey Vultures (left) are at such a communal roost in central California, enjoying the morning sun on a large dead tree that has also seen use as an Acorn Woodpecker granary tree. You may be able to see one of the features that separates New World Vultures from Old World Vultures in this shot: cathartid vultures lack any internal separation in the nostrils, meaning that you can "see right through" the nostrils on the bill to the scenery behind. [The other obvious difference in morphology is the lack of a functional hind toe in cathartids; Houston 1994.]
The New World Vultures are fascinating not only for their stork ancestry
and their special adaptations to eating carrion, but for the specialization
and codependency of species within this family. The huge condors [California
Condor in North America and Andean Condor in western South America], plus
the magnificent King Vulture of the Neotropics, might be most prized by
bird-watchers, but none of these could exist without contemporaneous small
vultures of the genus Cathartes. Only these small vultures have
a highly-developed sense of smell (ranking them with kiwis and some petrels
in this ability). As dramatically shown in the BBC's video series "Life
of Birds with David Attenborough", Turkey Vultures have a remarkable ability
to locate recently-dead mammals using nothing but their sense of smell.
This ability is shared by the Lesser Yellow-headed and Greater Yellow-headed
vultures of the Neotropics (C. burrovianus and C. melambrotus,
residents, respectively, of South American savanna and of primary forests).
John James Audubon's experiments to the contrary were poorly-designed.
Audubon used badly rotting corpses -- which vultures ignore, possibly because
of the risk of lethal bacteria -- rather than freshly-killed beasts which
vultures will quickly find and consume. The big vultures (King and the
condors), with great eye-sight but poor smell, rely primarily on the small
vultures to find carrion. The big bruisers then "take-over" the carcass
for their fill, but at the same time specialize on skin, tendons, and other
tough meat less readily eaten by the small cousins. [Black Vultures also
lack a good sense of smell, but feed more on easily-found offal, such as
dead fish on shorelines or at man-made dumps.]
I consider the photo below one of my rarest shots: it shows three species of small vultures lined up on a fence, a mixed grouping only rarely encountered (I've seen it only this once). From left to right are a Lesser Yellow-headed Vulture, a Black Vulture, and then two Turkey Vultures.
Photos: The roost of King and Black vultures Sarcoramphus papa and Coragyps atratus was taken in the Serra das Araras, Mato Grosso, Brazil, on 4 Aug 1999; this particular roost contained ten King Vultures and dozens of Blacks. The adult California Condor Gymnogyps californianus photo is by Brad Schram from Mt. Pinos, California, 16 Sep 1969 (and used only by permission). The Turkey Vultures Cathartes aura were roosting in Robinson Canyon, Monterey Co., California, on 23 Apr 1995. And the three species of vultures were aligned on a fenceline in the Pantanal of Mato Grosso, Brazil, in Aug 1999. All photos © D. Roberson except the condor is © Brad Schram; all rights reserved.

On Sunday night, before Pearl Jam played its fifth song, Eddie Vedder addressed the sold-out crowd.
"Twenty-three years. Twenty-three years. We have been a band for 23 years and this is the first time we have had the opportunity to say these three words: 'Good evening, Baltimore,'" the 48-year-old singer said.
He seemed both mystified and relieved. Why had it taken his band so long to play this city, especially given its proximity to Philadelphia, a spot the group never misses? (While Pearl Jam had never played Baltimore before Sunday, Vedder played a solo set at the Lyric Opera House in 2009.)
Naturally, not a soul cared. If Vedder's acknowledgment was a long-coming apology, the crowd had happily accepted way before the band took the stage. The crowd, energized and enthralled all night, made it clear the wait was well worth it.
With no opening band, Pearl Jam played 32 songs for nearly three hours. The band, playing as a six-piece, performed six songs from its new album, "Lightning Bolt." Of the new material, "Sirens" stood out most, blossoming from gentle to anthemic with little prodding.
The crowd — full of fans that spent the entire night enthusiastically clapping, stomping and pogoing — appreciated the new tracks, but they were really there to see what tricks the band had planned. (The Pearl Jam forum was predictably active right after the show, with fans comparing the Baltimore setlist to other cities'.) An early treat was "Lukin," a 63-second, punk-inspired song from 1996's "No Code." Appropriately, it followed Vedder's acknowledgement that Ian MacKaye was in the building. Later, "Spin the Black Circle," a hyper "Vitalogy" cut, was dedicated to MacKaye's Dischord record label.
The most satisfying moments were also the most predictable. Vedder often stepped away from the microphone, allowing the crowd to finish the lyrics to some of the band's most beloved songs: "Daughter," "Black," "Wishlist," "Alive," "Better Man," "Unthought Known." Seeing Pearl Jam perform "Corduroy" remains a concert experience no rock fan should miss. While writing a good song is hard, and writing a great song is something of a Herculean feat, Pearl Jam has something else that explains their longevity: timeless songs.
Fittingly and tenderly, Vedder paid tribute to a songwriter of timeless songs: Lou Reed, who died at 71 on Sunday. He dedicated "Man of the Hour" to the massively influential singer and his wife, Laurie Anderson. (The final line, "As the curtain comes down, I feel that this is just goodbye for now," was chilling.) And Pearl Jam wasn't done: The band covered the Velvet Underground's "I'm Waiting For the Man."
But this was not a somber show; it was celebratory and intimate. That was clear when Vedder, before jumping into the new song "Yellow Moon," pointed out a woman in the front row celebrating her 21st birthday. He then poured her a drink from what looked like a bottle of wine.
Surely many in the audience were jealous of her sharing one with Eddie. But the real root of the audience's envy was a guy in section 327, at the very back and top of the arena. Early in the show, after "Given to Fly," the constantly bouncing fan caught Vedder's eye. The singer asked for the house lights.
"Is that a yellow shirt?" he asked. "You made quite an impression."
To be singled out by the lead singer is an accomplishment enough. But right before the night ended with "Rockin' in the Free World," Vedder invited the same fan on stage. Halfway through the song, the man finally made it to the stage and danced alongside the band as it extended the song to maximize the moment. After a 23-year wait, it was that kind of night in Baltimore.

What is Lead Management?
Lead management is the process by which marketing acquires, evaluates, nurtures and hands off leads to the sales team. Sounds simple enough, right?
Many companies have no standards in place for properly managing leads, so weeding out genuine buyers from those just poking around is difficult and time-intensive. Sales departments often receive weak leads, wasting more time and ultimately detracting from revenue. In fact, according to Gleanster Research, only 25% of leads in a given sales pipeline are legitimate prospects.
Companies can significantly improve their sales pipeline by developing lead management strategies that incorporate lead nurturing, lead scoring and marketing automation.
Ready to dive in to lead nurturing? Set some time aside to study the Definitive Guide to Lead Nurturing.
Define Sales-Ready Leads
Sales and marketing teams often have conflicting views of what constitutes a "qualified lead." For instance, a marketer might consider any contact that responds to a marketing campaign to be a "lead," but a sales representative might only care about leads that are ready to buy.
Sales and marketing must work together to clearly define what they think a lead is. Consider the following criteria when evaluating your leads for sales-readiness:
- Demographics: Geographic location, company size, etc.
- Lead source: PPC search ad, social media and the offer they responded to.
- Behavioral information: Web page visits, content downloads, event attendance, etc.
Once lead criteria have been agreed upon, set up procedures and systems that enforce those criteria. Do leads that fit your criteria actually make a purchase? Ongoing measurement will allow you to use data to improve your definition of sales-ready leads over time.
Nurture Sales Leads
Once you have defined a sales-ready lead, it's time to nurture your lead pool to generate as many sales-ready leads as possible.
Lead nurturing is the process of delivering targeted, personalized resources and offers to your entire lead funnel to move prospects through the buying process. We have found that companies with excellent lead nurturing programs generate50% more sales-ready leads at 33% lower cost.
How does a company nurture leads until they're ready to buy?
First, determine your prospects' unique preferences. What topics interest them the most? What challenges are they wrestling with today? Do they respond better to emails, social media, webinars, or a mix of communication methods? Carefully evaluate which topics draw the most attention from individual prospects. An automated lead management tool will help track your customers' likes and dislikes to coordinate the sophisticated communication strategy that lead nurturing requires.
"Lead nurturing is at its most powerful when messages to the prospects are triggered based upon their actions - thus enabling you to deliver more relevant content to them easily and cost effectively. Nurturing and nudging is crucial to relationship building as it gives the prospect an opportunity to evaluate your expertise as a company as well as psychologically making them feel somewhat indebted to you for providing such valuable information, so that when the time comes, they've already decided that you are the company they want to do business with".- Kath Pay (@kathpay), eCRM & Email Marketing Consultant & Trainer, Plan to Engage
The most important characteristic of effective lead nurturing campaigns is to consistently deliver highly valuable, relevant (and branded) content.
"Give away content that people would pay for. Don't be stingy with the quality of content you share or the detail you provide. Give away your gold. You have a deep well; give away overflowing buckets of icy cool water, and people who are even remotely thirsty will come back to pay for the rest". - Joanna Wiebe (@copyhackers), cofounder of Copy Hackers
"Our business at Comvita is both B2B and B2C. A lot of solutions we looked at really pigeonholed us into what we could use it for, but Marketo had all the functionality and insight we were looking to achieve as well as the capabilities for both B2C and B2B. In only six months since we've had the lead nurture campaigns running, we are already seeing great results." - Kylie Glover, Vice President of Marketing, Comvita [Source]
For a checklist of important things to know when it comes to lead nurturing, check out Marketo's Lead Nurturing Cheat Sheet.
Improve Lead Management with Lead Scoring
Many businesses realize success by incorporating scoring methodologies into lead management, with the end goal of prioritizing leads for sales teams. According to a Customer Think survey, "Sixty-five percent of best-in-class companies define & execute multi-step lead nurturing processes, and 59 percent of these same organizations (vs. an industry average of 25 percent) utilize lead scoring to progress leads over time."
"Today marketing is every bit a data-driven process as it is a creative exercise. The best lead scoring is only as good as the data behind it. Quality data and metrics includes demographic data (industry, company, title, geography), behavioral data (opens, clicks, searches, shares, views, purchase, AOV), and even operational data (bounces, complaints, growth, attrition)." - John A Caldwell (@jacaldwell), Principal, Red Pill Email
Why is lead scoring so effective?By tracking your prospect's behaviors and web activity, you determine not only their level of interest in your solution, but also your interest in them. This information will help your sales team spend their time on the leads that matter.
Any effective lead scoring model should take into account all available data including demographics and behaviors. Use this data to define lead scoring thresholds that indicate whether a prospect is "qualified but still nurturing" or a true "sales-ready lead."
More and more companies choose to invest in scoring technology to reduce the time and hassle of manually sorting through leads. Lead scoring software automatically assess opportunities and passes them on to sales the instant they are deemed sales-ready.
For a checklist of more than 250 B2B scoring rules, don't miss The Big List of Lead Scoring Rules. And of course don't forget the Definitive Guide to Lead Scoring.
Utilize Lead Management Software
According to an Aberdeen study, 71% of surveyed best-in-class companies said they utilized lead management technology. Automated lead management tools help companies monitor prospect behavior and engage in timely, individualized interactions more likely to generate revenue.
One of the biggest reasons companies leverage the power of technology for managing leads is the sheer volume. Managing thousands or even millions of leads at a time is an overwhelming task for nearly any organization. The best solution is to software-driven automation rules capable of processing leads at lightning speed, while also introducing best practices to ensure win-ready opportunities are quickly identified and sent to sales.
"Automating lead management can provide the opportunity for measurement and experimentation. For example, we found that packaging some related blog posts with live or on-demand content webinars have been effective, and we monitor conversions and key performance indicators accordingly. Lead nurturing allows you to focus your efforts on truly maximizing your engagement for optimum conversions, versus scrambling to get something together for the sake of just 'touching base'". - Brooke Browne (@SmartMPM), Marketing Manager, SmartMPM, Smartbridge
Automation also enhances the quality of customer data by removing duplicates or merging customer data from disparate sources. This important functionality provides sales with a clean, up-to-date list to work with in order to help you win more business, faster.
We might be biased, but here's some awesome lead management software to look into.
Measure Your Lead Management Efforts
Once you hammer down all the processes involved inacquiring and managing your leads, it's time to evaluate your performance. Begin by assessing vital areas: the cost of acquiring or nurturing a lead, which marketing campaigns brought in the most prospects, and how long it took to convert leads to actual sales, among others. Tracking these types of metrics gives you insight into the efficiency and effectiveness of your lead management practices. It also provides perspective on how your marketing efforts are impacting your pipeline and your bottom line.
"Over 40% of the typical sales process is spent in pre-planning, which includes lead generation and qualification of prospects. With such an emphasis on marketing resources, it makes sense to ensure that you have metrics in place to determine your lead generation ROI. Being able to identify strengths and weaknesses will help you significantly in maximizing ROI". - Willis Turner (@willisturner), President/CEO, Sales & Marketing Executives International, Inc.
By consistently monitoring the performance of your lead management activities, you will identify weaker activities and weed them out. You can also pinpoint those marketing activities which draw in the most business to create a culture of continuous optimization.
"Marketo drives our entire revenue cycle management process, and takes lead management from generation to close. Without Marketo, we'd miss out on 30% of the opportunities that the company creates." - Guy Goldstein, Online Marketing Manager, ARX [Source]
Conclusion: A Strategic Approach to Managing Leads
Having a strategic method in place for lead management is vital to the success of any marketing effort, and for ensuring that sales have "qualified leads" (and lots of them!). When done correctly, lead management creates more-educated buyers, helps you better understand their needs and, ultimately, generates more revenue, faster.
Ready for more? Check out these lead management techniques you probably aren't using.
"Marketo is very user friendly—it really just makes sense if your job is to deliver either e-mail marketing or manage leads—it speaks the language that we marketers speak every day." - Kristen Petersen, Director of Marketing Operations, F5 Networks [Source]

The Wollemi pine is one of the latest discoveries to join the ranks of "living fossils." One of the rarest trees in the world, the Wollemi Pine was found in Australia by a national parks officer, David Noble, in 1994. The discovery astonished botanists worldwide who had thought the tree died out millions of years ago
To see more fossils click Wollemi Fossil close up. For more detailed information click Wollemi Pine Info.
The Wollemi pine is one of the latest discoveries to join the ranks of "living fossils". The evidence that the Wollemi pine has not evolved, but has reproduced after its kind, just as Genesis says comes from some fossil relatives of this "living dinosaur of the plant world". They came from the famous fossil mass kill site in Australia, the Talbragar fish beds, which contain fossil plants (Auricaria) "so similar" to the living Wollemi pine,they are increasingly being regarded as direct ancestors.
Soon after its discovery it was noticed that the leaves and stems of the Wollemi pine are almost identical to a fossil auricarian pine Agathis, claimed to be 150 million years old. For this reason the Wollemi has been widely promoted by evolutionary scientists as "from the Dinosaur age a true living fossil unseen since the Jurassic". It is also why the Australian company which has the exclusive propagation rights, uses this fossil in its advertising. (See photo, top right)

I am an undergraduate pursueing
B.E(ELECTRONICS) mumbai university i have spare time and want to do sap certification please guide me over this......

Hi, Gaurav
If you are a freasher then my advise is to not to go for SAP Certification right now because certification does not guarantee placement. There are many certified people with out any jobs. Try to get implementation experiance first and after one-two years of experiance you can look for certification.
if you need any more info, you can keep a leave a comment, i will be here to help you

Hi Boys & Gals,
AFter reading the entire blogs abd browsing all URL's What i conclude is :
1. No SAP - If Fresher
2. Where do i get implementation experience ? When i do not know SAP, SAP tools, how do i implement them...
3. Even authorised centres do not give placements, thus it makes no sense to invest 3lacs approx. for SAP.
4. Invest 3lacs only if you already got a job and need appraisal...
5. Get SAP done from local institute, try getting job and later invest 3lacs..
I would also request to pls share email id whenever you post comment.
Trust me it helps...It can make some ones future and who knows that some one are we... I agree and understand, some weird users do nonsense thing when dey get email id, But we've got a solution.. Block them off !!!
Anyways, I'm available for information sharing on email@example.com
Thanks & Regards,

First of all
1) Dont go for SAP if u r frehser
how to chose SAP Module
a) if ur having production exp of min 2 yr den go for PP/QM
b) if ur having maintenance exp of min yr den go for PM
c) if u having sale or MBA graduate fen go for certification bt after certification dont expect higjly paid salary.
first try to get into the SAP jon though the sal will be low for first 2 yr target for SAP knowledge den go for MNC. as initially In MNC also they are not going to entertaine fresher at so get sm exp from samll sclae company.
if u r just passed graduate den u can go for ABAP certification, bt it totally programming language. so sm people dont hv interest in programming.
so just go for SAP course in small institute 40k fees den get into SAP small sclae industry anfd after 2 yrs of consulting expe u can directly go for certifcation which will cost u 40K only exam fees
also institute will not gurantee that u ll get the job they will arrange the campus for you but u have to perform on yourself in interview.
infact even after doing engineering with distinction from premier institute engineers are not getting the job reason is they are no performing well in interview so only SAP certification is not sufficient you should posses consulting skill and effective presentation skill so that you can sell yourself in market of SAP.
and once you enter in Arabia sea of SAP then sky is the limit.

Hi All,
Please read this carefully.
We a batch of 14 candidates joined SAP CRM course at Vertion IT, where jawahar is teaching. We were guided by our seniors who heard about him. But after we joined and paid full fees within 10 days we realized the blunder we did. 1st module Base customization was finished in just 10 days. Not understanding any topic we were confused what to do. Then we decided to attend demos, started hunting for good faculty for SAP CRM. Atlast we found Ramcharan after attending 5 classes of different faculties. Ramcharan is passionate about SAPCRM and Training. We could not hesitate to ask him to allow us as a batch to join and we paid fees immediately. So it's a lesson for all those who blindly follow suggestions of their friends, seniors or colleagues. Don't be blind and waste your money and time. Keep open yourself and try to find good faculties. Time is precious than anything and with time you either loose or gain confidence.

Ramcharan sir can make you so positive with his mesmerizing teaching skills and make you believe that you are a born SAP CRM consultant and can handle any project.

Whatever, anyone who wants to do a course need to see 3 important things
1. Trainer's knowledge
2. Presentation skills(make us comfortable and confident)
3. Trainer's discipline
If you find 3 things in any faculty join bliindly. Don't get influenced by friends or institute names. You can attend demo right? Attend, enquire and join. It's not money which will get wasted if you join wrong institute or wrong faculty, It's 1. Time 2. Confidence and 3. Josh/Zeal which you loose. And it is very difficult to get them back.
Just to add to help SAP seekers i have seen faculty Mr. Ramcharan who has these 3 qualities. He will not make any kind of promises nor will get you job. He will impart the necessary knowledge to be successful and confident. He has tremendous knowledge and fabulous expressive skills and is highly desciplined. You see such type very rarely.

Recently completed training online in sap-crm and felt satisfied with the knowledge and explanation. It's very difficult to find genuine faculties that too online. I have been waiting for a faculty who has decent knowledge and explain well and being in some other location, with busy schedule everyday, without seeing faculty directly it is risky. After seeing my friend's reviews about rcstudentclub i attended demo online and later joined the course. I was happy the way RC took classes and the patience he has to explain again and again.
http://rcstudentclub.wordpress.com/ is helpful for all those who want to undergo online training in sap-crm from Ramcharan sir and this dedicated student community will suggest faculties/institutes genuinely for other modules also.Hope they introduce other modules soon.
With best regards

Ramcharan is surely a most valuable Diamond in the SAP crown, I saw and attended so many training's but the way he takes you through the topic is simply outstanding, he uses most easiest and best examples. I salute to his passion for training and wish him with all the blessings from parents of his successful students.
God bless his passion.

All the sap consultants who are working in SD, ABAP, CRM functional & Technical definitely need to know and learn Middleware. Understanding the replication from CRM to R/3 back-end system and the different loads (initial & delta loads) and middleware connections and request load for objects will be very useful for them. Only one faculty RamCharan sir at hyderabad is explaining and teaching middleware course both classroom and online. visit http://rcstudentclub.wordpress.com/ and get details like course curriculum, duration etc. Make the most out of this excellent opportunity. Good luck
- July 3, 2012 at 6:11 AM
My sincere suggestion to all of you whoever want to do crm course go and join Ramcharan sir institute. He is the best faculty for sap. The notes he tells and the examples he gives are enough to crack the job market. I recently attended Wipro interview and got selected. I just read and practiced the notes given by RC sir, it is so clear and easy to remember. Thanks so much.
- July 18, 2012 at 5:01 AM
Don't believe BESAP institute-Hyd and faculty their. They have collected 15 k from me for crm course and faculty comes first 10 days, later he disappears. When he will conduct classes no information, Suddenly we get message that today class is on. When asked institute they keep on faculty and we cannot find faculty. This institute is just for money making and not for serious training. Never join BESAP : the worst institute and worst service.

Hi Abap brothers, myself Allen from Goa working for HCL as ABAP consultant for last 4 years. Recently i was shifted to a new project to work on crm. As i worked on purely technical side, it was very difficult for me to understand the business process and concepts, but i was forced to work as their is huge shortage of crm functional guys. Still many crm projects are in queue to complete and company will push Abap consultants, so be prepared and learn crm functional fast.
Christ bless, i found online training from Ramcharan sir. He made me so strong and confident in the topics. He made me feel that I am in classroom, continuous interaction in online class always made me to be attentive and i learned well. His notes is very useful in my daily work. My sincere thanks and best wishes to him.
Ramcharan sir passion and presentation is just PHENOMENAL,
Notes is SUFFICIENT and
Examples he uses are EXCEPTIONAL.

Please be careful before you pay fees to any institute. Last year our batch of 25 students got cheated by Jawahar-Vertion IT at Hyd as he ran away with money and institute told us he is undergoing some surgery, this everyone knows. From that time i have been behind institute to get back my money. They told he will come soon and will continue our classes, he took may be 10 classes before he ran away, but didn't pay my money back.
At last he came back 2 months back and started classes again for new batches. When i went institute they told to sit in one of the batches.
In the last 2 months he took around 22 classes, teaching us the enduser job and now says course is completed.
Institute says course is completed as i sat for total 32 classes.
Not knowing what to do with the half knowledge and wasted my hardend sales money and time I am writing this atleast some people who will read will not suffer.
- July 21, 2012 at 7:17 AM
Nagaraj BESAP institute is even worst, you atleast attended 30 classes and learned enduser work, but we wasted 2 months and 15k with no clarity on subject and later realized.
Our batch of 10 have suffered a huge loss of confidence and went back to our regular jobs with this worst SAP nightmare. I suggest to all never go to BESAP institute at Hyd.
- July 21, 2012 at 7:41 AM
Never go to Besap, it's having worst faculty and worst service, no care for students.
- July 21, 2012 at 7:51 AM
Yes mustaq i also lost my money with BESAP and later i spent again to learn with RC. I plead all the sap students to write comments on worst faculties and worst institutes so people like me will not get lost in the crowd. Kindly highlight who is not good along with who is good.
I write this with full of burning stomach, people will curse this BESAP.
- July 21, 2012 at 10:17 AM
I wasted 15k at BESAP,Hyd and no one at institute is caring to answer. This institute will never grow.
- July 22, 2012 at 8:01 PM
BESAP institute Hyderabad is the best in providing worst service, worst facilities, worst faculty, worst material. Join any institute but not this, unless you want to spend money and time for a place for useless chatting.
- July 22, 2012 at 8:13 PM
I didn't understand what i was learning in the course till i attended a interview.
I got the shock for my life when interviewer laughed at the answers which i gave.
She said whatever answers i was telling is the work of the endusers who will use the customized software done by SAP consultants.
I could not realize this in course time, as i was entirely new for SAP and whatever Besap institute faculty was telling i practiced that sincerely.
I came back from interview directly to the institute and asked faculty.
He said to my surprise that interviewer might not know the subject and she might be from other technology not from SAP-CRM.
Why these people spoil our lives without complete knowledge on the subject and without experience.
Be cautious before you join any institute.
- July 23, 2012 at 5:17 AM
SAP seekers, never pay fees in BESAP, Hyd, its only for making money.
No Regular classes, No Regular faculty, No Lab facilties, No answer by anyone in institute and No care for students.
Do not waste your money and time here.
Every institute will be good in atleast one thing, but BESAP is good for NOTHING.
I wasted my money, so warning all of you.

Hi, have been working as ABAP programmer since 3 years. Got bored of coding and wanted to shift to functional side of sap, luckily our company got a project on crm and i jumped into it but i don't know functional side of business and wanted to learn crm, then started searching and inquired. So many faculties are good but they lack complete knowledge as they would have practiced only core module. Now a days only learning core concept is not helpful, you need to know indepth about all the topics then only you can survive and your clients will prefer you to be in the project.
My friend suggested to join Ramcharan sir's course who actually explains complete module indepth including SD concepts, Middleware settings, Pricing, Marketing, Sales, Service and gives notes which is very helpful in day to day work. Being at Bangalore i attended online course and feel 100% confident. Thanks a ton RC sir. You made my life easy.
Sincerely appreciating his effort..........Kausalya
- July 27, 2012 at 12:02 AM
Recently completed online training in sap-crm from Ramcharan sir. I felt happy and satisfied with his way of interaction and almost felt that am in a classroom.
His knowledge is vast in Business processes and SD concepts. And middleware including integration with backend R/3 syatem with point to point notes is helpful in preparing even after completion of course.
It's rare to find such kind of trainer in the market.
- August 11, 2012 at 9:38 PM
Hi friends,
Am a student of Ramcharan sir and completed course in July 2012. Our batch of 28 students have been happy throughout the course duration and are fully satisfied with his teaching.
Main thing which made us to feel motivated was his punctuality and discipline. RC sir never cancels class.
The notes which he dictates in class is extremely helpful in preparing interviews and information which he imparts to us is vast in crm module including sd concepts and middleware.
I am thankful to him from bottom of my heart and happy to inform that i got job last week. Hope my batch mates also will get jobs soon.

Sunday Sweets: Fun and Fondant-Free
When you consider our usual Sweets lineups and all the cake shows on TV, you might be tempted to think it's impossible to make an amazing cake without fondant.
But you would be WRONG.
Submitted by Evy M. & made by Cupcake Cafe
This beauty was made entirely with icing. No fondant, no gumpaste, nada. And I will never be satisfied with my icing roses again. Wowza.
A lot of bakeries prefer fondant because it's easier to achieve certain looks with it. It also travels well and helps maintain a cake's freshness by sealing in moisture.
On the other hand, odds are you'll never find someone who just looooves the taste of fondant. In fact, many bakeries will tell you to peel the fondant off your individual slice and just eat the cake and icing underneath.
Which is all fine and good, but... did you know a fondant-free cake could look this good?

Those accent flowers are gumpaste, but the rest of the cake? All icing, guys. Booya.
Obviously I love fondant for the options it gives us, but the fact is it can never replace traditional and oh-so-jaw-dropping piping skills like this:

Can you imagine the skill level required to make each of those tiny, perfectly-spaced dots? And then carefully layering those hearts and cages on the edge? Even the top swirls are solid royal icing, which is unbelievably fragile. I would bet only one baker in a hundred today has this kind of skill, which is why it's so darned inspiring.
Ok, you're thinking, that's fine for traditional cakes - but surely no one can make a sculpted cake without fondant!
Oh, yeah? (And don't call me Shirley.)

Hot diggity dog! That's fondant-free, folks!
And from the master of fondant-free cake art himself:
Just look at those highlights in Wall-E's eyes, and that cookie crumble "dirt"!
Btw, Don is one of my top ten all-time favorite cake artists, ever. The things this guy can do with icing will knock your socks off.
Think your only option besides fondant is boring ol' buttercream? Think again.

These fabulous cupcake toppers are made with chocolate candy melts. The melted candy is piped onto a sheet of plastic, and once it's hardened they pop off for instant cake decorations.
I've always loved this technique because it's such a fun pop-art style. Don't these next ones look like they jumped out of the pages of a sketchbook?

There's a similar technique done with icing called a frozen buttercream transfer:
Submitted by Gail L.; found here, but the baker isn't listed. Anyone know?
With the BC transfer you again pipe your design on a clear plastic sheet, but then you freeze it before flipping it over onto your cake and peeling off the plastic. Obviously this takes a lot of time and skill for more complicated designs, but can you imagine the possibilities?! CAN YOU??
I've razzed on edible photo paper a lot in the past - and with good reason - but like most things, it can sometimes be used for good. (Not very often, but sometimes.) In fact, I'm happy to say that this is the best use of edible photos I've ever seen:
By Valarie "Gwen" K.
Brilliant. And perfectly done. It also goes to show that sheet cakes can be just as much a work of art as sculpted cakes.
In fact, here's another sheet cake used as a blank canvas for - I can't believe I'm about to type this - an amazing airbrush design:
By Devin B.
Clearly this was not done with the Airbrush of Atrocity. Color me impressed.
Another icing technique with spectacular results is the run-in, or flooding, method. You see it most often on too-gorgeous-to-even-consider-eating cookies, like this one:

Forget the glass of milk: this thing needs a frame!
And see how pillowly soft and smooth the icing looks? That's done by first piping an outline and then "flooding" inside the lines with the same icing thinned down with water. And while you see this most often on cookies, you can also pipe the icing on - you guessed it - a clear sheet of plastic, and then carefully - CAREFULLY - peel it off once the icing has dried. Then you place the hardened icing on your cake or cupcakes.
For those of you with mad art skillz, you can even use icing like thickened paint, like so:
By Amy Marie
Even her handwriting is gorgeous. Disgusting. (Er, in a good way, I mean.)
And yes, you can actually use a paint brush with icing. In fact, there's a technique known as "brush embroidery" that actually requires it:
This one was done over fondant, but brush embroidery can also be applied over regular icing. You pipe the outlines of your design, and then use a wet brush to drag the lines inward. It sounds simple, but getting it to look as beautiful as this takes bucket loads of skill and patience.
Hoo boy, you guys! This is turning into a marathon post and John's going to kill me for rambling on this long and including this many pictures, but I've got to include just a few more:
Submitted by Jennie S. & made by Some Crust Bakery
Simple perfection - just look at those razor sharp edges!
Oh, and you should know that there are tons of pretty fondant-free cakes out there decorated with fresh flowers, but I didn't include any here because I wanted to focus on the bakers' skill with actual icing.
Besides, putting flowers on a cake is relatively simple. This, on the other hand?
This is simply stunning.
And these will totally fool you:
Submitted by Evy M. & made by Cupcake Cafe
Because I'm not sure *I* do.
The fondant vs icing debate will no doubt continue to rage on, but I hope these Sweets have shown you a little more of what's possible in the hands of a talented baker - and maybe even given you aspiring Sweets bakers out there a few ideas to try with your own cakes!
And as always, if you have a Sweet to nominate, please send it to me at Sunday Sweets [at] Cake Wrecks [dot] com.
Happy Sunday, everyone!

Are there any tips for treating my pond in the hot summer months? George – Horace, ND
A lot of our summer activities revolve around our pond. The warm sunny seasons see us hosting parties, swimming, fishing, or just unwinding at the end of the day lounging around outside. Regardless of how you enjoy your down time, you expect your pond to be in pristine condition when having guests at your home or before you decide jump in for a swim. Frustratingly enough, it is the warmer seasons that encourage weed and algae growth that can throw the proverbial wrench in the works. By laying out a few key points on pond maintenance you should be able to keep your pond in excellent condition by knowing what to expect when things go a bit south.
Know It's Role
When you start to notice growth in your pond, properly identifying it will be the first step to effective treatment. We offer a great Weed ID Guide online that can help you pinpoint exactly what is trying to invade your space. If you are still unsure you can always e-mail pictures to us at email@example.com or mail us a sample of the weed.
Plan Ahead
Having a party? Keep in mind that it may take up to a week or more to receive full results from a pond treatment depending on what you are treating. Waiting until the day before could result in swimming restrictions or floating growth that has yet to die off. Always read the labels on aquatic algaecides and herbicides for application instructions, dosage rates, and any water use restrictions that they may carry. You don't want to buy a product that carries a 30 day irrigation restriction of you plan on watering your garden and lawn with your pond water.
Use Aeration Ahead of Time and Keep it Going
Customers who use Bottom Plate Aeration Systems typically run them all day every day to keep the pond circulating and infused with oxygen. Those of you who use a fountain or surface aerator may only run it when you are home and leave it off at night or when you are away. When treating with algaecides and herbicides make sure you keep your aeration running continuously for at least a few days after application regardless. This allows an influx of oxygen during this crucial time when the kill off process robs the water column of the majority of its dissolved oxygen. No aeration yet? If you are going to install an aeration system you will want to introduce it at least a week before you treat, running it in gradually extended increments as to avoid manually turning over your pond by rapidly mixing the bottom oxygen deficient water with the upper oxygen rich layers.
Treat in Sections
In the hot summer months as the water column warms up it will naturally hold less oxygen. In addition to water temperature, dying algae and weeds will also reduce oxygen content. This could potentially add stress to your fish. Treat the pond in quarter sections and wait 10 to 14 days in between sections to allow the pond time to maintain an adequate oxygen level.
Keeping your pond properly maintained with Dye, Beneficial Bacteria and Aeration will give you the upper hand at keeping unwanted growth out of your pond and will drastically reduce the time, effort, and cost of combating weeds when they do decide to make an appearance. With this extra bit of knowledge you can skip out on some stress and effectively treat your pond by choosing the correct products and having a better understanding of the conditions you want to work within.
