I have been feeling overwhelmed with the big spaces in our house lately, because it seems like there's still so much to do, even though we've taken on big projects in the house. Ever get that feeling like things are still only at 75% no matter how much you add to a room? That's where I feel like I'm at. We are wanting to get our foyer painted, but that's a big project that costs a lot, so that will happen later down the road. I'm itching to do another project around the house though, and I think I found one I could pull off pretty quickly.
We have this one wall on the side of our staircase that has sat vacant for almost 5 years now. I was contemplating how I could spruce this wall up without having to spend a ton of money and hopefully use what we already have around the house. I still love the color we used in the upstairs hallway (it's Sherwin Williams Gale Force!) and I thought it would be great to incorporate a bit of that color downstairs as well. I searched in my basement, and we still had half a gallon of the paint left! When you walk in the house, you can see the upstairs hallway, and hopefully this little pop of color on this wall will tie in nicely.
See? Big and empty. Hopefully I can get to painting this space sometime this week. It should be a quick project that will tie the two spaces together, and add some personality to a spot that we pass by daily! I have a feeling the painting is going to be easy, but decorating it will be the next hurdle. I have some ideas in mind though!
What are small spaces in your house you've transformed? I need inspo! Hope you all have a great week!

We're all about talent- identifying it, developing it, and making it work for your business. Fulfilled people are happy workers, after all.
Talent spotting isn't easy. You may obviously see a spark in someone, but what if another is hiding their light under a filing cabinet? How do you coax it out into the open and make it valuable?
People promote their abilities differently- and sometimes they don't at all. Most managers say they just feel something in their gut that tells them whether they can entrust someone with a promotion, project or particularly tricky task. That's not identifying talent- that's winging it and hoping your instinct pays off.
A lot of very gifted people go undeveloped in businesses around the World just because managers believe "they know a good one when they see it." They often don't. Missing one great asset to a company is one too many. People stagnate without a challenge, or the chance to put their natural gifts into practice. Sometimes, they leave for pastures new. In turn, businesses lose out, and incur costs hiring replacement staff or even engaging consultants. (No, that's not how we work, as we explain here.)
Identifying talent is a huge challenge for businesses today. The podcast below is a talk given by author George Anders, a founding member of Bloomberg View's board of editors. For twenty years he was a top feature writer for The Wall Street Journal as part of a team that won a Pulitzer Prize.
How do we recognise greatness? The world-wide hunt for talent has never been more ambitious, more systematic -- and more frustrating. It's time to redefine how we think about talent, and to come to terms with three major blind spots in the ways that most organisations hunt for superstars. Better approaches are within reach, as shown by the successful, maverick methods of the world's best talent spotters. This event marks the publication of George Anders new book The Rare Find: Spotting Exceptional Talent Before Everyone Else.

The Rare Find
The Lean Startup: an LSE podcast
The London School of Economics share some fascinating and enlightening podcasts of talks and events they host, featuring speakers from the worlds of economics, politics, business and social work. They cover a variety of topics and I thought the below to be an exceptional example of how starting a business doesn't mean huge outlay and fancy trappings. As the 37Signals team say- "Do it right, then make it better." (I highly recommend their book ReWork.)
Most new businesses fail. But most of those failures are preventable. The Lean Startup is a new approach to business that's being adopted around the world. It is changing the way companies are built and new products are launched. The Lean Startup is about learning what your customers really want. It's about testing your vision continuously, adapting and adjusting before it's too late. Now is the time to think Lean. This event marks the publication of Eric Ries new book The Lean Startup. Eric Ries is an entrepreneur and author of the New York Times bestseller The Lean Startup and the popular entrepreneurship blog Startup Lessons Learned.He co-founded and served as CTO of IMVU, his third startup. In 2007, BusinessWeek named him one of the Best Young Entrepreneurs of Tech. In 2009, he was honored with a TechFellow award in the category of Engineering Leadership. He serves on the advisory board of a number of technology startups, and has consulted to new and established companies as well as venture capital firms. He is currently serving as an entrepreneur-in-residence at Harvard Business School and a Fellow for IDEO, the design consulting firm. His Lean Startup methodology has been written about in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Harvard Business Review, the Huffington Post, and many blogs.

Creativity, Bravery- and Desert Island Discs
Jimmy Mulville is a former comedian and actor, starring in Alan Bleasdale's seminal G.B.H. and Jake's Progress. As a founder of Hat Trick Productions, he's now a man responsible for making the nation laugh more than most.
Hat Trick have brought to our screens both the the irreverence of Have I Got News For You and the drama of Case Sensitive alongside ratings hits Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Outnumbered and Father Ted.
Jimmy recently appeared on Desert Island Discs to select his 'favourite things' to be cast away with. We loved it. You can listen here.
As he talked we realised that there was a bigger story to be told than just his selections for easy island listening; there were some lessons we can all take from his experiences.
Jimmy set up Hat Trick Productions with Rory McGrath and Denise O'Donoghue in 1986 to get their own shows made but quickly realised that a forward-thinking and truly open company was also a perfect creative outlet for others. It was their then-unique and quick-fire attitude to making TV comedy that saw them build a reputation for originality and a queue of the best TV creatives beating a path to their door.
Becoming an actor was a boyhood dream- Jimmy's commitment and focus to this ensured he strove to get seen and heard by key players in the media. His decision to move into production in response to his own personal need to get things done shows that sometimes, waiting for others to make it happen isn't going to work. You just have to be brave and do it for yourself.
As a child, Jimmy was encouraged in Latin and Greek by a teacher; his appreciation for this support informs his adult decisions, and he has in turn nurtured a supportive and creative environment in his business.
· He acknowledges that he had an enormous bit of luck when he was in a play purely because they needed a Liverpool accent – this led to his joining Footlights and enjoying great success and ready access to creative media minds. Getting this opportunity has made him take a gamble on people he's not known too well based on whether they meet his need, he meets theirs- and whether his instinct says 'Go for it'.
Jimmy sadly took to using drink and drugs in sorrow over his father's death. It was when he recognised this as a coping mechanism and acknowledged his own destructive behaviour that he was able to grieve properly and eventually use his experience to coach others. The investment he made in rehab taught him that overcoming adversity isn't just about being able to pay for it- it's the behavioural changes that are needed that make you really dig deep.
· His business partner in Hat Trick was also his wife, and when his marriage ended they realised quickly that there had to be compromise; agreements had to be made as so many other careers depended upon their leadership and focus.
Jimmy admits he is melancholic by nature and goes out of his way to put laughter in his life to balance it out. This understanding of his weakness shows his determination to counteract negativity and introduce positive action for greater success.
Space to create
Yesterday I met with a fascinating character, Jon Bartlett, the power behind Project Libero, a fresh and grounded approach to coaching. Over lunch we chatted about the potential for Libero and Treacletiger, and the roads that brought us to our current positions.
Jon clearly has a talent for identifying individuals' 'drivers', the motivating factors behind our behaviours and the decisions we make. It's not just the extensive training he's undertaken, but his own experiences and instincts that inform his creative and effective approach to coaching. It was wonderful to meet a coach so committed to his clients' wellbeing.
Jon and I have chatted via Twitter for a while now and it's always interesting to meet someone for that otherwordly place; will there be stilted silences or a fight to promote one's own interests at the cost of good discussion and shared experience? Fortunately for me, Jon was even more personable and delightful in reality, so I felt that the meeting was over all too soon.
The conversation turned to NASA (what? It happens) and Jon revealed to me that he has stood on the floor of Mission Control, revelling in the history and human endeavour represented by the place. He's clearly inspired by man's quest for adventure and knowledge, and sees clearly how that same spirit can be instilled in a business using simple and effective techniques.
Jon is cycling London in support of Mind, a magnificent charity that's doing great things to challenge the stigma of mental health issues, and the difficulties faced by those suffering. With 1 in 4 people set to experience depression in their lives, and workplace stress fast becoming the leading cause- and cost- of absenteeism, supporting Mind's Time To Change campaign is essential for business.
You can sponsor Jon here.
The Treacletiger project is bringing some truly inspired and inspiring people into our network; we're very excited about this, and where it will take us.

Going live
So what's 'going live' all about, apart from being a fondly-remembered Saturday morning show of yesteryear?
Today, Treacletiger goes live online. This is both impossibly exciting, and the culmination of approximately three years' work. So we hope you like what you see.
We've kept it simple- our belief in getting the basics right and then developing, growing and learning as we go- and making things better. We'd love your feedback and thoughts on what you'd like to see on there.
We've been 'open for business' for a little while now, but our online home cements the deal. We are here to stay, and here for your business.

Home care services can do wonders for patients and can facilitate a much faster recovery for your loved ones. Comfort of home is much better than that at a hospital care.
Are you facing problems dealing with the health of your loved ones at home? Is there a patient who has just come home after a long and exhausting hospitalisation? Are you facing difficulties in managing your time trying to take care of them?
One day our parents might not be able to drive, climb stairs, cook, walk or maybe even change their own clothes. Isolation and loneliness spread among the elders as social engagement and interaction drops down!

Get Your Figures in Order with a Promotional Calculator!
How many times in the last year have you needed to use a calculator? Chances are that like our office straw-poll, many times! In a busy commercial environment, we all have need to tote up figures, subract, divide & multiply.
And further back, we all remember our first calulator in school. In my case it was a Casio fx81 which was a very fine instrument, complete with "scientific" functions that I only ever used in Uni. Regardless, it was an entry to adulthood, having a swish calulating machine that made Maths easy and Physics a breeze. I've forgotten most of those numerical manoeuvres and the reasons behind them, but I can still type "8008L355" and make myself laugh – boys, huh?
The benefits of choosing promotional calculators as branding tools are many but in principal, you are selecting a practical office tool that people have strong, positive childhood connections to. Even if only to write banal messages…

CBSE Class 12 economics paper analysis: How students across India reacted after the exam
CBSE Class 12 economics paper analysis: Students said CBSE Class 12 economics paper had some tricky questions but overall the paper was scoring and that they completed it on time.
Students said on Monday the Central Board of Secondary Education's Class 12 economics paper had some tricky questions but overall the paper was scoring and that they completed it on time.
Students in Lucknow found the economics paper "based on concepts" and one that required "core knowledge" of the subject.
They said the difficulty level of the paper was moderate and that it scoring in most of the sections. Questions carrying one mark were tricky and the long answer questions were direct, they added.
Mann Agarwal and Mann Awasthi of GD Goenka Public School said the paper was easy. "We attempted all questions and did complete the paper in time," they added.
"The questions were average except a few tricky ones. Doubtful over a one mark question otherwise a cent percent score is expected," Adhya Aren of the same school said.
Nikhil Vasishth of City International School also said the paper was average and that he was satisfied with his answers. According to Akhil, the paper was average and he was able to finish his paper well before time.
"All those who were regular with the subject would have been able to solve the paper in a better way," Nikhil said.
"As per teachers guidance, I managed to solve the paper and tried to give my 100%," Zaid said.
"The paper was as it should be. For hard workers, it was a treat to eyes but few questions were tricky. It was not lengthy at all," Dhruv another student of CIS, said.
Sugandha Singh, an economics teacher at City International School, said the numerical questions related to the macro portion was tricky but manageable.
Students in Madhya Pradesh's capital said some questions were tricky but overall the paper was easy and they expect to score well.
Insa Ahmad of Kendriya Vidyalaya No 1 said she found the paper easy and short. "I completed it before time," she added.
"Some questions in the second section were tricky but overall the paper was easy. I am expecting a good score in the exam," Ankita Malviya, a Green Valley Public School student, said.
Bank Officers' Public Higher Secondary School's Harsh Sharma said a few questions were difficult and tricky and that it was a "real test for students".
"I am happy because I did a thorough study and answered all the questions," he added.
Rupa Chakravorty, a teacher of economics at Gangagurukulam School, said the paper was balanced and easier than expected. She said that her students were a bit relaxed because this year 20 marks were allocated to practical exam and 80 marks to the theory section for the first time.
"The paper divided into two parts, including macro and micro economics, and was well prepared and in accordance to syllabus. The numerical part was not as tough as given in two pre-board exams (by the school). Questions on Reserve Bank, indifferent curve, market policy, etc were also easy to answer," Chakravorty added.
Alpona Dey, principal of the school and an economics teacher, said four questions of one marks each besides questions pertaining to aggregate demand, national income, market form, producer and consumer equilibrium carrying six marks each were easy and scoring.
Students and teachers in Bihar's capital said the paper was easier than last year's and that a few questions from the macro economics section were "a bit difficult".
Niloo, a teacher at Notre Dame Academy, said that it was a balanced paper overall.
In Dehradun, students of Scholar's Home School said the questions were "simple and easy". "So far, it was the easiest question paper. I hope to secure the best," Scholar's Home School's Akshi Chhetri said.
Chhetri's schoolmate Sakshi said they were extremely happy to "receive such a good paper".
Their principal, Chhaya Khanna, said the question paper was simple and that the students' response was good.
The CBSE Class 12 board exams started on March 5 and will end on on April 12. This year, 11,86,306 students are appearing for the Class 12 exams conducted at 4,138 centres in India and 71 venues abroad.

They say that an average of 1,000 mud pellets go into the construction of a typical cliff swallow nest. Each mud ball represents a double trip to and from a moist puddled collection spot and each is put into place according to an instinctive plan. The building material is carefully selected – not just any old mud, but mud composed of silty clay and sand. The building site must be a protected overhang safe from the elements. The combined marriage of this effort, selection, and instinctive sense of structure is a gourd shaped masterpiece – an inverted urn with a gracefully curved neck. Not only is the nest artistically pleasing, but it is also structurally strong. I believe it's safe to say that the cliff swallow nest is the most remarkable avian nest in North America (see above & here). Even the dangling nest of the Baltimore Oriole comes in second to this one.
In the days prior to European settlement, these birds were content with making their nests under overhanging cliff ledges. Because of this preference they were restricted primarily to the Western canyon country. Eventually human-made porches and concrete bridge abutments, which imitated these natural conditions, slowly lured them eastward. As a consequence, these birds and their unique nests are now found throughout the country. Finding a colony can be a challenge, however, since they are usually located in fairly inaccessible locations.
The Manufacturer's Marketplace in Monroe is one such choice location for a small cluster of these birds. I'm fairly sure the store owners don't especially appreciate this fact since the sidewalk exhibits an ample amount of whitewash due to the overhead activity. But the viewing opportunity could be considered a public draw. After-all, these are the same species which annually draw visitors to watch the mid-March return of the swallows to the mission at San Juan Capistrano.
An attentive adult was in the process of feeding one of her young as I approached (see above). Cliff swallows provide a valuable service as bug zappers – especially when they have to keep up with the feeding demands of 4 or 5 younguns. The nestlings peered out from the neck of their bottle home while they waited between parental visits (see below).
Adjacent to this nest another bird was in the process of nest-building. These are highly colonial birds and one nest will inspire the construction of dozens more. Some colonies can reach suburban proportions if circumstances allow. A single light structure here at the mall can only support a ring of six or more nests. This bird (see here) was still in the basic foundation stage of building the second addition to this micro neighborhood. Interrupted by my presence, the creature paused to smile for the camera with a mouthful of mud (see below). There is a glimmer of artistic pride in that muddy-lipped mugshot.

Thought of the Day
"The President's Budget and Other People's Money"
March 27, 2017
"The proof of liberal virtue is generosity with other people's money."
George Will (1941-)
Political Commentator
Spending other people's money dates back centuries. It was Aristotle who allegedly said, "Three groups spend other people's money: children, thieves and politicians. All need supervision." John Randolph, a Virginian planter and Congressman between 1799 and 1833, once wrote: "…that most delicious of all privileges – spending other people's money."
This attitude is common to both political parties, but more so for Democrats, the party of 'big' government, than Republicans. In his 2007 book "Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservativism," Arthur Brooks noted that liberals are less likely to give to charity than conservatives, despite average incomes 6% higher. They claim to be generous, but with tax payers' money – not their own.
Nobody denies the right of government's need to spend. A nation must defend itself. It must ease commerce through roads, bridges, tunnels and ports. It educates its youth. It has a moral obligation to ensure the well-being of its poor, elderly and those unable to care for themselves. Citizens understand, so pay taxes…willingly in most cases. But politicians should keep in mind the enormity of the responsibility that is theirs, and remember they are servants to the people. They must acknowledge the labor that went into taxes paid, to treat the money they spend with respect. (Total government spending, including federal, state and local, represents about 36% of GDP.) In the modern welfare state, the line between capitalism and socialism has become blurred, reminding us of Margaret Thatcher's wisdom: "The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money."
The President's recently submitted $1.065 trillion budget is a blueprint of where he would like the country to go. The 2018 budget proposed by Mr. Trump was limited to "discretionary" items. He did not address the 70% of the budget represented by mandatory spending, which includes Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, unemployment compensation, earned income and child tax credits, SNAP and certain expenses in Defense, Agriculture, Education and Veterans Affairs – safety nets mislabeled "entitlements." To place Mr. Trump's 2018 proposal in perspective, President Obama's 2016 budget totaled $4.1 trillion, of which $1.15 trillion (28%) was discretionary. If one included, as one should, interest expense of $283 billion as a mandatory item, then "true" discretionary spending represented just 21% of the 2016 budget – not a lot of wriggle room, when the goal is to increase defense spending (a discretionary expense) by ten percent.
To listen to howls coming from Democrats over Trump's budget one would have thought he was the Grinch determined to starve and make homeless the poor and the elderly. President Trump's proposal, as stated above, does not touch entitlements. It neither raises taxes nor increases the deficit. It keeps spending at the same level, diverting funds from the EPA, the State Department (USAID and Treasury International Programs), Agriculture, Labor and Commerce to Defense and Veteran's Affairs.
As expected, reactions were hyperbolic. Nancy Pelosi: "…President Trump has shown he does not value the future of children and working families." Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer: "Once again, the Trump Administration is showing its true colors: talk like a populist, but govern like a special interest zealot." Representative Jim Hines (D-CT): "…all kinds of pain will be felt around the country…"
On January 20, 2009, federal debt was $10.6 trillion. Eight years later, it was $19.9 trillion. In other words, Mr. Obama, during an eight-year stretch without a recession and with a stock market up 148%, almost doubled the national debt. The cost of this borrowing has been masked by eight years of artificially low interest rates, a situation that is only now changing. Higher interest rates will add to costs, pressuring deficits and debt. In the fiscal year ending last September, the deficit rose to $587 billion, the highest in five years. Despite favorable economic tail winds, Mr. Obama did not leave the nation in good fiscal shape.
These deficits, of course, do not include the unfunded liabilities of welfare programs, for which we, as taxpayers, have responsibility. Determining the absolute level is not easy; but estimates range, from an "official" $55 trillion up to $222 trillion. Whatever number is right, it is crushingly large.
Over the past eight years, we saw an increase in spending on social welfare programs, including the Affordable Care Act, yet poverty increased. During those years and keeping in mind that a nation's first responsibility is to protect its citizens, we saw defense spending, as a percent of GDP, decline from 5.5% to 4.4%. And global tensions rose. Consider: Chinese aggression and Russian belligerence increased. Islamic extremism persists, and the Korean Peninsula gets more dangerous by the day. Iran has become more truculent. Ukraine has been invaded. Democracies in South Korea, Japan and Israel are vulnerable, as are the Baltic States and those within the reach of China. Time moves forward, but human nature remains unchanged.
You may dislike Trump the man. You may believe the cartoon caricature that the media has created. But you cannot deny the dilemma we face – that we are living beyond our means in a dangerous and fractious world. We need to increase spending on defense. And we must rein in the administrative state, and the unprecedented powers it has given to agencies like the EPA. Unnecessary regulations have sapped the vitality of our economy, the engine that allows us to live well, securely, and to do the good we want.
The President's budget speaks to his desire to beef-up defense and provide better for veterans, but without raising taxes or incurring higher deficits. It addresses fraud and waste in agencies where funds have been cut. It does not touch entitlements. Despite the fear-mongering, it is, in fact, modest and perhaps a bit timid given the forces we face. We cannot dismiss the spreading of violence abroad as not being our problem, nor is it compassionate to provide false expectations as to benefits that we may never be able to afford. There are consequences to living beyond our means – increased deficits and higher taxes. The first will bring higher interest rates and, ultimately, a declining currency; the second will result in decreased liberties and impediments to economic growth.
If you think the howling is loud now, wait 'til we tackle – as at some point we must – entitlements. However, there are things we can do now to ease the burden that will become our children's: We can raise the age of eligibility for Social Security and Medicare. We can means-test. We can encourage savings for retirement and health care by granting larger exemptions. What we need are serious conversations and debates, not the Ostrich-like behavior of politicians who place their childish partisan bickering above needs of the nation; nor does it help when a sycophantic media puts loyalty to favored causes and friends above real news.

There are about one hundred days left until the start of World Floorball Championship in Prague and it is safe to say that Czech National Team players definitely did not waste their summer free time. 16 participating countries bring a great variety of languages and a few of Czech players decided to show you their foreign language skills.
You can see below how did they do. Patrik Suchanek proved he is ready for career in Finlands, Milan Garcar sounds (and with his beard even looks) like a true Norwegian Viking and Patrik Doza is definitely glad he plays in Switzerland and not in Thailand.

1930s & Earlier / Rarest Canadian Coin - 1936 Dot Cent
The rarest and most desirable coin in Canadian history is the "1936 dot" one-cent coin. Only three are known to exist. Why were they struck? On January 20, 1936, King George V died shortly after his 71st birthday. As is customary with Canadian coinage, if a monarch dies anytime during a year, his/her portrait remains on all the coins minted in that year. George V was succeeded on the throne by his eldest son, Edward VIII. Anyone with even passing knowledge of the history of the British royal family ought to know that Edward VIII abdicated late in 1936 in order to marry American divorcee Wallis Simpson. He was succeeded by his younger brother, who became George VI. This presented a problem for the Royal Canadian Mint. It had already prepared dies for its 1937 coins with the likeness of Edward VIII, which were now outdated and useless. It was feared that the new dies with George VI's head would not be ready for striking in 1937. The mint conceived a backup plan: They would reissue the 1936 coins bearing George V's likeness, but place a dot below the 1936 date to indicate they were made during the 1937 mintage year. Only three samples of the one-cent coin bearing the distinctive dot were struck--and all three were kept by the director of the mint. As it turned out, the dies for 1937 with George VI's head were ready in time for 1937 strikes, so the 1936 dot coins were not needed. One of the three rare coins sold at auction in 2013 for about $250,000 U.S.

The Congress on Monday said there were "rumours" on party's former Uttar Pradesh unit chief Rita Bahuguna Joshi joining the BJP, but added it would not respond to "speculations"."There are some rumours in the media. But, we don't respond to speculations," said Congress spokesperson Manish Tewari.Bahuguna's brother and former Uttarakhand Chief Minister Vijay Bahuguna had joined the Bharatiya Janata Party a few months back. Another Congress leader said: "She is a former PCC President and an important leader. There is no denying the fact. But her phone is switched off."Bahuguna's joining the BJP will boost the party and will help it consolidate the Brahmin votes. The Congress has declared Sheila Diskhit as its chief ministerial candidate in the 2017 assembly elections. Some in the Congress feel her brother's joining the BJP might have influenced her decision. "We have to ask oursleves if people are moving out because there are some ambitions which can be better fulfilled elsewhere. Or, have we made any mistake," said a party leader.

Every year, visitors to the Kitchen & Bath and International Builders Show shop 1,500 exhibits across 570,000 square feet of space. Competitors sneak peeks at other's new releases and marketing materials. Designers go from booth to booth seeking inspiration. Observations incubate in the minds of over 80,000 attendees, then germinate to become the next industry trends and breakthroughs.
Observations also germinate on what could be more effective strategies to accelerate business growth to drive year-over-year increases in sales for those "in the business." Here are six, from over twenty years studying companies with longevity as well as newer ones doing well despite tough odds:
ONE: The Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality are not just trends, they're accelerators.
From compelling virtual home tours to the security of visually monitoring one's home (or what's in the fridge) when miles away, technology is being applied to address homeowner needs. But for the marketer, technology's value includes speeding up shopping, speeding up decision-making, speeding up sales.
Take selecting a paint color. It's famously paralyzing for people. While there have long been apps to help, none are as emotionally rewarding and functionally helpful as the Color Snap® Visualizer from Sherwin-Williams. Want to match the color of a flower or fabric you love? Take its picture and the app will automatically produce the perfect "paint chip" as well as complementary colors. Take a photo of your living room and the app will automatically translate your selected color to the walls so you can test the look and make a decision.
Integrating technology with one's marketing to architects, builders, designers and consumers can result in a trifecta of mutual benefits: more access to better info, more convenient shopping, more confident decision-making. These are things that create brand preference, drive switching behavior, grow sales and share.
Have you explored all the ways IoT, AI and VR could accelerate decision-making in your brand's favor?
TWO: Prevention and wellness aren't just for health care entities.
Toto has long claimed unparalleled cleanliness as its leading benefit. Several years ago Formica launched antimicrobial laminates at IBS (engaging actors posing as germs to run the aisles). In 2016, Sherwin-Williams launched microbicidal interior latex paint for commercial use. (Of course, moms then coveted it for nurseries, bathrooms and kitchens, too.) The latest addition to "healthy" wall coverings are shower and bath panels that inhibit mold and mildew.
Yet, while today's consumer is well-sensitized to the havoc microorganisms can wreak on family life and their biggest asset—their home—innovations focused on prevention and wellness still seem largely untapped in many product categories. How about flooring for the homes of pet owners? How about disinfecting stations in various rooms for the two biggest carriers of germs into our homes—shoes and mobile phones?
In what way could your brand innovate in service to better health?
THREE: The future belongs to those who enable "generationless" living.
The Baby Boomer demographic is attuned to living longer, in better health and in their own home, so they're looking for more and more aging-in-place products. Consequently, walk-in tub and shower offerings are expanding rapidly. Some originally created for the rigors of hospitals and nursing homes argue they are functionally superior to residential-only brands. But their aesthetics are not as appealing as their functionality. That's unfortunate. Just because a consumer is aging or less mobile doesn't mean they lose a desire for tasteful décor and maintaining their home's resale value.
Kohler understands this. Their new walk-in tubs and showers are both functional and attractive to people of all ages. That's smart because medical breakthroughs mean more people are destined to live longer, live outside of institutions, recuperate at home or in the same home with family members of different generations. So bathrooms need to work for equally well for grandparents and toddlers, parents and handicapped children, spouses of those with a torn rotator cuff, a broken leg or a new knee.
This means that the future belongs to those who incorporate beauty into a generationless functionality of their products.
In what way could you apply greater aesthetics and universal design to products, décor and home plans?
FOUR: Functional products now do double—even triple—duty.
Today, technology and a creative mind allow any company to say, "As long as we're going to be doing this anyway, why don't we also ________?" (Fill in the blank.)
Consider that Formica launched laminates which, like chalkboards, serve as writing surfaces to message the family. ("Please let the dog out when you get home." "Reminder: Pack lunch for tomorrow!") Broan-NuTone launched lights for the deck and yard that also repel mosquitos within a 10 square foot radius. These are perfect examples of "breakthrough thinking:" Filling multiple needs with one solution.
Can you find an advantage by concepting products and services that do multiple things at once?
Don't limit your thinking to features and functionality. Consider mixing and matching what research has now proven to be 10 powerful areas to combine for breakthroughs. Combining three or more in a single offering is now well-proven to accelerate growth, and create barriers to entry by competitors.
FIVE: Distinguish your brand not just from competitors, but from its former self.
A growing economy is the best time to capture sales and share. Yet architects, builders, designers and homeowners specify over and over again only what they know. They avoid brands for which they have some anxiety or prejudice. So it is important to identify what perceptions are holding you back, then innovate sufficiently to be able to argue "We're not what you thought we were."
The most successful cases for reconsideration include innovations so surprising they make people question what they thought they knew about a brand. Ideally, this means innovations so relevant to the needs of today's marketplace that in your offerings, architects, builders and designers see a chance to accelerate the growth of their own companies. Have you spent time considering what new product or service you could offer which, if you really could deliver on it, would help them capture share and margin?
If you can imagine and deliver on it, it would help you to charge more and increase your margin, too. But whatever your idea and case for reconsideration, it better be big. Research shows people won't switch brands for what is seen as the promise of even a 10 or 20 percent improvement. So, to kick start some big thinking, ask yourself:
- What can we create that will disrupt the status quo to our advantage?
- If we can start over from scratch, what kind of business (and business model) will be right for the marketplace three years from now?
- What unmet needs—if we can deliver on one or more of them—will allow us to have a whole new value proposition
SIX: There's a more effective way to accelerate growth than stressing a product's features, functionality, promotions and price.
In visit after visit to the KBIS and Builder Shows, A&D Showrooms, Home Depot, Loews, or home appliance retailers, I experience brands leaving money and margin on the table. Why? because of weak or non-existent value propositions.
It happens by emphasizing how a brand will help the architect, designer, builder or home buyer be more of who they are or who they aspire to be.
Though largely outside of one's consciousness, the pursuit of one's self-concept is the greatest driver in brand preference. Yet most companies are oblivious to this reality. That's because they assume people make decisions based on rational thinking. But decades of research now prove the brain doesn't "think" as long believed. Rather, research shows humans first take in, implicitly and largely subconsciously, all kinds of info on a brand before they are even in the category to buy. They retain what seems attractive or relevant to their self-concept or aspirations, forming brand preferences and prejudices long before they're realized by the conscious mind.
What's more, extensive research shows that when trying to persuade people to prefer a brand, rational arguments (like features, functionality and price) are not very persuasive at all. Of course, when asked why they made a brand decision, people cite rational arguments because the real reasons are below their consciousness, in a part of the brain without language; that part of the brain driven by emotion.
Decades of longitudinal marketing data and case-based evidence now confirm that being famous for the emotional benefit a brand brings to people's lives is what actually drives YOY increases in sales share, margin and brand strength. It is why the most successful homebuilding, appliance and décor brands identify an emotional benefit and leverage it in their ads and publicity, trade show or retail experience, merchandising and salesperson scripting.
Of course, a great price or promotion can trigger people to act IF they already having a preference for a brand. But trying to create brand preference via a list of features and functionality will not be productive. The brain is not engineered to file and recall great amounts of data. It is overwhelmed by lots of specs; quickly confused when trying to compare one brand's details to those of competing brands. The brain's software is not designed for making a decision based on multiple variables.
What the brain is designed to handle is an assessment of the emotional relevance of an offering.
Take Kohler. Their relevance is "gracious living." It feeds an aspiration that's universal in appeal. Timeless, too. And it's a benefit not restricted to any one category of business, allowing Kohler a brand platform on which they can innovate to deliver on the promise of gracious living across resorts and fine chocolates as well as low price and luxury plumbing fixtures. This means that no matter the category in which Kohler competes, the features or functionality are not the reasons to buy per se, but rather, reasons to believe Kohler's promise to elevate the quality of one's life more than alternatives. And armed with such a compelling and credible value proposition, Kohler can thus charge a bit more than competitors, making not only the sale but a good margin.
Another company positioning itself to the self-concept of its target is Kolbe & Kolbe. Regardless of product line, features, functionality or price, Kolbe & Kolbe frames their brand as being "for the visionaries." Of course, this feeds the self-concept of most every architect, custom builder and high-end homeowner. And by advertising heavily to become famous for it, Kolbe & Kolbe is gaining increased consideration.
In the same way, every company would find their marketing effectiveness improved if they first, identify a meaningful role they can play in helping the target be more of who they are or aspire to be, then work to become famous for it through advertising, PR, focused marketing materials, sales literature, trade show booths, merchandising, and the words and deeds of dealers, distributors and people on the showroom floor.
Appealing to people's self-concept drives YOY increases in sales, share, margin and brand strength because it plays to how everyone's mind processes info and makes decisions. It's why great lawyers use it to win jury trials: They strategize what will create empathy and psychological appeal, organize all the facts under this premise as reasons to believe it, then stress it over and over again to speed up judgment, cementing decision-making in their favor.
So, any décor or home product brand who wants to accelerate their growth will want to ask:
- What does the ego of my target really desire? (What's driving them below their level of consciousness?)
- How can we play to this by framing what we do with an emotional benefit so timeless it compels broad numbers of people to prefer what we're selling today–but will still apply to offerings we've not yet imagined?
- How can all my communications convey this value proposition emotionally, using select features and functions as reasons to believe the self-affirmation we promise to deliver?
Then, if you want to add even more firepower to the above, ask yourself:
- In what way can technology enhance the ability of our target to experience first-hand our benefit (Insight one)?
- How can we capitalize on trends that can give our benefit maximum relevance (Insights two, three and four)?
- What's holding us back (Insight five)?
These six insights are a great start to accelerate business growth, a year-over-year growth in sales, share, margin and brand strength. However, there's even more marketers of décor, appliance and homebuilding products can do. Check them out.

By now, I'm sure you have heard of programmatic advertising (if you haven't, check out this great article about programmatic for recruitment). In the last couple of years, programmatic has taken the recruitment industry by storm. But is programmatic right for your recruitment strategy? Hopefully, this blog will help you make the smartest choices for your recruitment goals.
Why programmatic?
First, it's important to understand why programmatic is making such a big splash in recruitment. Here are some of the biggest benefits:
- Candidates are sourced from the entire web where job seekers live, work and play.
- More accurate targeting available.
- By establishing rules at the onset of a programmatic campaign, easy-to-fill applications can be limited so that the budget is focused on hard-to-fill applications.
- With ads being optimized in real-time, programmatic advertising is incredibly efficient. Thanks to programmatic, no more waiting a month or quarter to review performance and make changes.
Not so fast
Considering the benefits listed above, it might seem like a no-brainer to start programmatic advertising immediately, but unfortunately, programmatic isn't a good fit for every situation. Some things to consider:
- Budget – you need to have some money to work with be in a place to afford the considerable price tag in order to really see the benefits of programmatic.
- Niche and executive positions – programmatic often isn't a good fit for niche positions or "one-offs" because of the limited audience you'll be marketing to.
- Volume matters – multiple positions give programmatic a chance to do what it does best: shift budget and leverage different media to realize the best results. If you only have a few reqs to fill, programmatic probably isn't a good fit.
How to get started
- Don't put all your eggs in one basket and start with a trial – a good way to start would be to pull a portion of your current budget and use it to test out programmatic advertising. If you're pleased with the results, go ahead and add additional budget.
- Start with one group/area – for example, if you work at a healthcare system, start using programmatic for your nursing reqs. This gives you a chance to see how programmatic works before switching over to other positions.
- Get help and advice – Despite the nature of programmatic advertising, there is still a human component that's essential, as real success is dependent on finding the right expert/specialist who can optimize the campaign on a daily basis.
Need more help? Give us a call at 408.517.1400. We'd love to help you decide if programmatic recruitment advertising is right for you. And when you're ready to get started, CKR Interactive has a team of programmatic specialists who can assist you. Already using programmatic for recruitment? We'd love to hear how it's working for you and any recommended tips and tricks for success with programmatic.

Acts 5:1-12/
"We must obey God rather than men" (v29). Peter and the apostles declared that they "must" obey God – not just because it was right, but because they had first-hand evidence that God was more powerful than men. They had seen Jesus' miracles and witnessed his death and resurrection, and now they themselves had experienced the Spirit's power and been rescued from prison by an angel (v19). Their decision to keep preaching about Jesus came from their belief that God was real and active.
"And we are witnesses to these things …" (v32). The active presence of Jesus in our lives makes us eager to be His witnesses – speaking about and living for Him.

Asia's money talked in '07, humbled West walked4 min read . Updated: 25 Dec 2007, 12:01 AM IST
Asia's money talked in '07, humbled West walked
Asia's money talked in '07, humbled West walked
You would expect a year marking the 10th anniversary of the Asian crisis to be hectic, and 2007 didn't disappoint. Coup attempts, subprime fallout, terrorist attacks, scandals, volatile stocks, elections, you name it.
Yet, the biggest news wasn't a singular event; it was a not-so-subtle shift in Asia's role in global markets. Growth in Asia boomed as more developed regions plodded along. As the dollar lost its footing, currencies such as the Thai baht surged 18% and the Indian rupee jumped 15%. And as the US' clout waned, China blanketed the globe, grabbing resources, making new friends and ignoring treasury secretary Henry Paulson's demands to revalue the yuan.
The real shift, though, was about purse strings. A decade ago, Asia's financial meltdown set in motion a series of humiliations that forced governments to allow Western investors to buy assets at knockdown prices. Now, it's Wall Street's turn. Unfolding troubles in credit markets have the West holding its hat out to cash-rich Asian states. As 2007 draws to a close, some awards seem in order for the countries and people that, for better or worse, helped shape Asia's year. Drum roll, please.
"Money Talks" award: To Asian and Arab governments awash in riches from rising currency reserves and oil prices. Two years ago, Dubai couldn't buy US ports because of "national security risks". Now, few in the West are questioning selling off stakes in US financial institutions to Dubai, China, Singapore and others.
You would think a nation losing control of its financial infrastructure is at least as big a risk as a couple of ports. But with credit markets reeling, it's hard for Citigroup Inc. to decline a multibillion-dollar lifeline from Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. Or for Morgan Stanley and Bear Stearns Companies Inc. to say no to state-linked Chinese money. Expect such deals to come under greater scrutiny in 2008.
"Greetings Earthlings" award: To Japan's top government spokesman, Nobutaka Machimura, who last week thrilled science fiction fans by stating that he "definitely" believes UFOs exist.
"Bulldozer" award: To Lee Myung Bak, who won last week's election in South Korea. Neither corruption allegations nor record-low voter turnout kept Lee from his goal of becoming Korea's first president from a corporate background. It also brought new meaning to his nickname, "the Bulldozer." The moniker comes from his days at the construction arm of Hyundai Group. Now, it also could refer to Lee's push to change an economy held back by the policies of outgoing President Roh Moo Hyun. With so much red tape through which to bulldoze, Lee shouldn't expect much of a honeymoon.
"Never Mind" award: To Bank of Japan governor Toshihiko Fukui, who for nearly five years threatened to raise interest rates amid daily predictions that deflation had been defeated. It turns out he may need to cut rates as economists buzz about a Japanese recession in 2008. A few years ago, Fukui was toasted by financial magazines as the world's best central banker, even better than Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan. Given the subprime mess Greenspan let fester, perhaps Fukui isn't looking so bad after all.
"Howard's End" award: To Kevin Rudd, Australia's new prime minister. This time last year, Rudd was a little known Opposition politician. Today, Rudd is the talk of political circles after ending John Howard's 10-year-plus reign. Rudd immediately signed the Kyoto Protocol, simultaneously putting Australia at the forefront of combating climate change and isolating US President George W. Bush. In a year of tepid political leadership, Rudd shone brightly.
"Toxic Shock" award: To China, which triggered a global search for goods not made within its borders. How devastating 2007 was for the world's factory floor was summed in a recent cartoon by David Horsey of Hearst Corp. In it, a boy sitting on Santa's lap says: "I want toys that aren't toxic and aren't made by little kids in Asian sweatshops." Santa replies: "Wow! You REALLY believe in Santa Claus!"
Rather than clamping down immediately on makers of contaminated food, tainted pet products, defective toys and other quality-control nightmares, China blamed the media for hyping the story. In 2008, we will see how much dithering permanently tainted the Made-in-China brand.
"Teflon" award: Shared by President Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan and President Gloria Arroyo of the Philippines, for clinging to power amid continued efforts to oust them. Musharraff outmanoeuvred opponents by declaring emergency. Arroyo survived yet another coup attempt and yet more allegations of corruption. Anyone looking for the secret to staying in power should put down their Winston Churchill and Franklin Delano Roosevelt histories. Musharraf and Arroyo seem to be writing the definitive book on the issue even as we speak.
"Defying Gravity" award: To Asia's equity markets, which had yet another stellar year. While China's stock bubble got most of the focus—the benchmark CSI 300 Index was up 163% in local currency terms as of 21 December—double digit gains were widespread. As of 21 December, shares in Australia, Bangladesh, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam were up 20% or more. With Asian currencies set to rise further, 2008 could be another solid year for the region's equities.

I'm also using her awesome linkup as a quick weekend recap because I'm sure most of you were wondering what I was up to and where the heck I was since well, my posts lately ended up being almost non-existent.
If you are following me on Instagram you might have seen these... and if you are lucky enough that I let you be part of my facebook, then you know even more. Aside from that, here's what I was doing Friday, Saturday, and Sunday:
Friday, all day, one of my best friends M. and I went to the Pet Expo 2013. We almost adopted all kinds of dogs and cats. She even held a spider and I almost screamed. Cannot stand spiders. We had a blast though, worked on our tan while walking through this gigantic area, and enjoyed receiving information on certain breeds, food, training, and whatnot. It was a well-spent Friday. AND, it was a girls' day out. No guys or husbands or whatnot allowed. Just three girls (her fun mother-in-law came too) and many many animals. I really wanted a dog...but having already two in the house, a third one right now is not an option. :(
But I cuddled with "Stella" from Modern Family. She's definitely a cutie pie!
Then Saturday...besides organizing and preparing a birthday BBQ for a friend of mine, the main goal was to end up at the Troubadour and enjoy a concert. And, we did.
Oh you wanna know who we saw?
Brett Young, Wakey! Wakey!, and Tyrone Wells.
Loved all three performances. We had Lounge Seats upstairs so we could see it all. I preferred that since standing for about four hours isn't really my thing anymore. Besides, if we didn't have those seats we would not have sat next to the executive producer of One Tree Hill (and you know how much I LOVE this show), and saw James Lafferty and Stephen Colletti. So, it was definitely worth it. No?
Yes, I know I'm short. Let's just say he's super tall?! Thank you.
If you don't know who he is...it's Mike Grubbs from Wakey! Wakey!
Sunday was mainly a relaxing day. Friends from Ventura County came down to our lovely OC area and we basically spent it eating, chatting, chilling, and sunbathing at the pool. Could not complain at all. It was a fantastic day. I think I definitely ate too much, but one can never have too much Sushi, and Chinese.
Hope your weekend has been grand.
This week will be busy...a take-home exam, a weird essay, and wedding preparations. Don't worry. Not mine. I would announce something like that on the blog at some point and not drop this topic accidentally a few days before the event. Just saying.
Happy Monday everyone!

I've worked for charities for a few years now. I started as a street fundraiser – or "chugger" as they are often called – raising money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation in Australia. If I'm honest, I took the job because I was desperate. It was chug, or go home. So I chugged. I travelled rural areas of Australia, outback towns, and stood for hours in shopping centres or in tumbleweed streets in 40 degree heat. I used every technique I learned in my three years at drama school to make people feel the importance of the issue at hand, how one simple wish could give smiles to children with life-threatening illness and incredible memories to their families.
I got an excellent tan. At that time I was becoming ill myself, I just didn't realise how serious it would be. So I would throw on my blue polo shirt, ignore the joint pain and fight the fatigue, knowing that every three people I signed up to a direct debit equalled one wish for a child. I loved that job.
Eventually I moved to New Zealand and began working for UNICEF, doing admin for the fundraising team, helping establish a small telefundraising team and also encouraging donors to continue donating when they had intentions of cancelling. Every day my stomach felt heavy with the thought of refugee children in Syria facing another winter, and it drove me to work hard. It helped me ignore the numb patches on my face and the ever-increasing pain in each and every joint.
I returned to England in 2013 and soon after moved to Scotland to work for the Royal Voluntary Service. I managed a team of volunteers that befriended older adults in the local community, provided transport to appointments, and lifted the spirits of isolated people. My favourite part of that job was when a volunteer wasn't available and I got to spend an hour or more meeting one of those interesting people that are your isolated neighbours.
But soon again I began to struggle. Driving home became probably quite dangerous as my reflexes weakened, and cognitively I struggled to be a part of the world around me. I felt non-existent water running down the backs of my legs. Parts of my body were going numb. The floor vibrated beneath my feet. And doctors just told me I was depressed. Until I was paralysed and partially blind of course – then they paid attention.
So what do you do when the tables are turned? When you are the one struggling to cope? When you are the one needing help? When you could do with a wish?
The charity A Spell for the Unwell came to my attention. Their aim is to emotionally and financially support young adults dealing with serious illness. Well, I fit that category. But when you've always been the helper, how do you become the helped? How do you swallow that pride? With the encouragement of my partner I approached Kelly, the founder of the charity who has been dealing with serious illness herself. And eventually I accepted the offer of my 'wish'. I wished for independence, confidence, to be able to go out alone. So I received the gift of a walking stick and a MedicAlert ID bracelet which will alert medical staff of my illnesses in case of emergency. These are items I was unable to afford which will make a huge difference to my quality of life.
So I accepted charity. Not only has this experience helped my confidence and independence, it's helped me gain a deeper understanding of the people I've been working for over the years – the people needing hope, shelter, companionship – and the way it feels to accept charity. It isn't easy. But the thought that someone would want to help me, improve my life, give me a wish…well, it overwhelms me. I feel so humbled. (And I'm crying!).
Please take the time to check out A Spell for the Unwell. They are a new charity and need support to continue making people like me cry! Haha, seriously though, there are young adults throughout the UK dealing with life changing illness at a time when they're supposed to be finding their feet. Your help can make all the difference.

I'll be honest. I don't really have any idea how to pose Men. Before I shot with Zack Randel (@zack_michael_), I have only photographed two other males. The good thing is that all of them - including Zack - have experience posing and modelling. Lucky me!
Zack came along with @gracedwithstyle to our blogger meet last month. One thing we chatted extensively was about photography. He told me that is he really getting interested in it and was asking me about lenses and camera bodies. Even though I'm not a BIG gear person (that stuff costs pots of gold), I gave my opinion on what I think is the best for the content he is shooting.
Since Zack has modelled for clothing companies in the past, it was a breeze to work with him. When I look at how the pictures came out, I can totally imagine him appearing in GQ or another magazine! Can you imagine that too?
