Pre-show notes:
– Please excuse my lateness this week. I spent Monday night performing at The ND in Austin, breaking in our brand new Monday Night Watch Party, informally known as the Best and Worst of Raw Live. Highlights included me doing the ACH ring entrance and the wonderful comedians we had helping us out with improv commercials. Lowlights included watching this wrestling show. Our next show is on May 21, so come check it out. It's free, and we're gonna have a better idea of what works and an hour less to fill.
– If you haven't listened to it yet, be sure to check out episode 2 of my pro wrestling podcast With Spandex. I talk to Deadspin and Grantland's David "The Masked Man" Shoemaker about everything from WrestleMania to "Don't Step To Ron". It's a good time. With Spandex will be taking a one week hiatus this week so I can cover the Moontower Comedy and Oddity festival for UPROXX, but it'll be right back.
– Don't be afraid to leave a comment on this report. We've build a great community of intelligent, funny wrestling fans and you should be a part of it, because seriously, you aren't gonna find it anywhere else. Not even on that Fark page where they linked us but nobody clicked it and just talked about Raw on the Fark page.
– Follow us on Twitter @withleather, follow me personally @MrBrandonStroud and like us on Facebook.
– Biggest thanks again to Casey/THESTINGER for helping me out with gifs and pictures. Be sure to visit his gifs Tumblr for the stuff I didn't use.
Best: Edge Needs The OOOOOOOOLD STONE COLD
The hidden Worst here is that John Cena loses two matches (including one in the main-event of a WrestleMania against The Rock in The Rock's hometown) and suddenly everyone thinks he's 63-year old TNA Ric Flair. It's John Cena, everybody. The only reason he lost to Tensai (a surprise opponent, mind you, so he didn't have time to scout the Spit Hand) was the interference of two different dudes.
Anyway, with the table set up and Teddy Long Generally Managing we expected to get that 30 minutes of awkward Brock Lesnar legalese at the beginning of the show, so Edge was a pleasant surprise. With the short hair he looks less like the guy from Puddle Of Mudd and more like one of the guys from DC Talk.
I'm not the biggest Edge fan in the world, as his body still looks like Scud The Disposable Assassin and his offense ("running hug", "clotheslines that make you quickly stand up" and "hold your head and direct you as you fall backwards" among his greatest moves) is (probably) still faker than Shawn Michaels' chops. What I DO love about him is his unstoppable sense of urgency — when Edge talks, even when it comes out stupid, he sounds like he means what he's saying. So when he tells John Cena that Brock doesn't care about the business and losing to him would be a slap in the face of great WWE Champions of Yore like Stan Stasiak, Rob Van Dam and Sheamus (I'm paraphrasing here), I go "oh sh*t he's right". This doesn't usually happen when Cena talks, so I'm enjoying his new role as Guy Who Listens Sadly.
And honestly the most disappointing thing about him showing up during the live show is that we let the local improv groups voice over the promos and I didn't get to break out my awesome Edge impression.
Best: Don't Worry, The Contract Signing Didn't Happen Here But I'm Sure They'll Get To It Soon
Best: The Non-Alcoholic Kofi Kingston Drinking Game
I promise this entire column won't be "haha oh brother you shoulda been at our thing", but one of my proudest inventions from the evening is the Non-Alcoholic Kofi Kingston Drinking Game, a fun mid-match game for all ages that I hope catches on.
Here's how you play: Watch a Kofi Kingston match. Whenever Kofi jumps during the match, you yell "JUMP!" out-loud. By the end of the match you'll either need a beer or your brain will have begun to simulate drunkenness.
At first it seemed pretty dumb, but by the end we were all paying super close attention to the match, judging whether or not certain movements constituted jumps, doing "juuuump" in slow motion during replays and a bigger, grander JUMP~ for top rope jumps. There was so much jumping. It was easily the most I've ever enjoyed a Kofi Kingston match, and I encourage you to try this out with your friends. If we can get it into arenas we'll make him that huge star* he was supposed to be when he was vandalizing Randy Orton's special property.
*we may also compromise the integrity of his jumps
Best: A Long Match That Will Set The Tone For The Rest Of The Evening
Worst: I Know David Otunga, And You Ma'am Are No David Otunga
I'm sad that my proposed Eve Torres/David Otunga/John Laurinaitis Ken Park-style storyline from last week ended up with Eve taking up the role of Executive Administrator, a role Otunga was clearly filling well ("here's your fax twenty minutes late!" etc.). The bright side is that it removes Eve from situations involving wrestling and her sh*tty moonsault. The horrible dark side is that it removes Otunga from these backstage segments and lets him "focus on his wrestling career", which means he will literally be Michael McGillicutty's music away from turning into Titus O'Neil at all times.
I really, really hate this idea. Not only because you're trading a brilliant backstage character for a woman with the acting prowess of a house plant and getting TWO terrible wrestlers in return, but because John Laurinaitis absolutely does not need a female foil/sex interest. John Laurinaitis needs to be the most asexual guy of all time. He works well with Otunga because they're more or less neutered and all about their paychecks. Those are the spineless authority figures we need, not a f**king Beetle Bailey with Eve as Miss Buxley.
Worst: This Courtroom Sketch Of David Otunga
David Otunga wasn't at the show for a very good reason — he's participating in the trial of William Balfour, the guy charged with murdering his fiance's mother, brother and nephew. So it's with a h/t to reader Robert Olker that while I would never want to make light of that situation, I have to show you this terrible-ass courtroom sketch of David Otunga.
What the hell is that? He looks like f**king Doctor Strange. Are … are you courtroom sketching with magic markers? How do you have this job?
Worst: Michael Cole's Explanation Of Tensai's Green Mist
Michael Cole (the man WWE chose to be the one guy who talks about them for a living, not counting Scott Stanford) says that according to "Japanese lore", the green mist certain wrestlers spew is "meant to cause problems in vision". This is awesome analysis for anyone who doesn't know what happens when somebody spits something into your eyes and might've missed the last few weeks of Tensai spitting liquid in peoples' faces and having those people clutch their eyes and complain of blindness.
Best: Chris Trew's Explanation Of Tensai's Green Mist
My live Monday Night Raw Watch Party co-host explained that the green mist is actually Mountain Dew, the perfect beverage to compliment a Doritos Locos Taco.
Suddenly this winning streak is falling into place. He needs to start calling the Baldo Bomb the "Baja Blast". Note: I would rather drink the moisture from Lord Tensai's Spit Hand than Baja Blast Mountain Dew. I am not sh*tting you.
Best: This Comment, From Our Open Discussion Thread
This is the funniest and best idea ever. Until somebody makes another contextual Watchmen reference, I dub thee Brandon's Favorite With Leather Wrestling Comment Ever.
Worst: Welp, They've Ruined The Cool Brock Lesnar Interview Video Forever
This is a piece of what I wrote in last week's column about Brock Lesnar's "Cena's gonna piss his pants and also sh*t them" tough guy pre-tape
The Brock Lesnar video package above is glorious, because it shows you all the ways Brock can kill a man (other than "giving him diverticulitis"), shows Brock BEING legitimate instead of telling you how legitimate he is and allowing Brock a taped, MMA-style interview segment where he can say his farmboy Satan sh*t without having to stumble over a live microphone. Just a huge win all the way around. I want to see Brock kill everyone, and at least one more instance of him F-5ing a shark.
… and while a part of me still believes that, no part of me can watch a previous week's video package two and a half times on the same show and maintain creative wood. I just can't do it. Here's a list of things we saw the most during Monday's show:
1. The contract signing graphic (more on that in a second)
2. That Doritos Jacked commercial where they drive a monster truck through a building
3. That horrifying Just For Men commercial with the CGI beard child and his blonde adult date who is absolutely gonna f**k that baby
4. That USA Characters Welcome commercial with two guys in suits and sunglasses walking side-by-side that they acted like was for three different shows but I'm pretty sure 'White Collar' and 'Suits' are the same thing, and don't even get me started on 'Royal Pains', that's just a Vagisil commercial with a helicopter
5. The Brock Lesnar Pissing And Sh*tting Video Package
6. That same USA Characters Welcome commercial except Elena McNulty is there and the white guys are black.
The worst thing is that this report is gonna be exactly as long as the two hour version would've been, because at least an hour of Raw was video packages and a looped commercial break. I don't know why it was three hours long. There were what, four matches? It was less content than usual. If you're gonna do another three hour Raw, give me a theme to follow along with, or at least some sort of wheel to spin.
(Also Callie Thorne should be there.)
Worst: The Contract Signing Graphic
But no, seriously, by the end of a three hour Raw I was Walter White in his f**king crawl space about this graphic. Without hyperbole they showed it at least 65 times, and the first time I could go "lol look at Brock Lesnar's neck, it looks like a pack of hot dogs" but by time 35 I was reading The Lord's judgment of my life on the clipboard.
I don't ever want to see it again. I'm afraid if I look at that screen grab long enough I'll start seeing colors and end up in an alien bedroom.
Best: Brock Lesnar Hates Impact
Here's a list of everyone we got to see Brock Lesnar beat up in video package form last night:
1. Jeff Hardy
2. Rob Van Dam
3. Hulk Hogan
4. Kurt Angle
What do all of these people have in common? Besides drugs. Notice that we didn't see any footage of The Rock getting F-5'd. I wish they'd worked in that time he motivationally berated Matt Morgan backstage. The same people who put together tonight's show should hype Daniel Bryan and Sheamus with nothing but footage of Bryan tapping out the Briscoes.

Alternative Methods for Collecting Airport Passenger Facility Charges
GAO-13-262R: Published: Feb 14, 2013. Publicly Released: Feb 14, 2013.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-2834
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
GAO identified three basic alternative methods to the current airline ticket-based method for PFC collections. These methods are not mutually exclusive and could be used by either individual airports or a group or airports:
1. Kiosk or counter: passengers would pay the PFC at the airport using a self-service kiosk or payment counter.
2. Internet or online payment: passengers would pay the PFC online through an airport or third-party Web site during or after the airline ticket purchase.
3. Emerging technologies: passengers would pay the PFC using their smartphone, pre- paid card, near field communication (NFC)-enabled device, or other technology.
GAO evaluated these alternative methods relative to the current ticket-based collection method using factors that we identified as key considerations for evaluating alternative passenger fee collection methods--passenger experience, customer transparency, administrative costs, technology readiness, and legal issues. Based on GAO's evaluation of the alternatives, each faces considerable challenges to implement, and none of the three alternative methods that we identified are currently better than the existing collection method. Compared to the current on-ticket PFC collection method, all alternatives would diminish the passenger experience by adding another step in the payment or check-in process; reduce customer transparency; and entail higher administrative costs. At this time, all of the aviation stakeholders that we spoke to, including representatives from selected U.S. airports and airlines, support the current collection method over any alternative due, in part, to passenger ease and low administrative costs. In the future, however, it is possible that some of these challenges will be reduced as technology advances or that airports might be willing to accept the additional costs and impose additional passenger burdens in return for an increase in their capital funding.
Why GAO Did This Study
This report formally transmits the briefing held with Congressional offices on January 15th and 16th, 2013, in response to the mandate under Section 112 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (FAA reauthorization act). This section directed the Comptroller General to conduct a study of alternative means of collecting airport passenger facility charges (PFCs) that would allow such charges to be excluded from the ticket price, and in conducting this study, to consider: (1) collection options for arriving, connecting, and departing passengers at airports; (2) cost sharing or allocation methods based on passenger travel to address connecting traffic; and (3) examples of airport charges collected by domestic and international airports that are not included in ticket prices. In fulfilling this mandate, our objective was to identify existing and potential methods for collecting and allocating airport passenger facility charges, including from connecting passengers.

No really fair to rate them at the moment, since they've had a fire at the regular tasting room, and the temporary one is nice, but a bit wiffy with stagnant water. The wines are superb, and I'd consider going back again when they're up and running 100%

Lovely wines (agree about the Cab – really lovely, and Cab's not always my fave), Heidi behind the counter was a superstar and the ambience just makes me want to stay there.
Daniël Maree
The place to go for a reference Pinotage and ever so often a Cab that will blow your mind. The dry Rose is not half bad and the Paul Sauer remains my favorite blend of all.
Pieter Lindenberg
The king of cabs
Jacques Weidemann
I am surprised at the low rating, I mean this farm is in a league of its own…and they sell wine at R20 per glass (except for the Paul Sauer!)
Madame de Wyn Listing Owner
This was one of our stops during the Stellenbosch Festival and I'm glad that I've revisited them. This time around the lady in the tasting room was friendly and passionate about their product and I enjoyed a tasting at the counter, while the others rushed of to try the "uber special" vintages in the art gallery.
Some of them were not impressed with what they tasted in the art gallery, but I decided to taste for myself. They must have had from the old bottles, cause when I went to taste the wines they opened fresh wine and it was great! They also had nice big glasses, so bonus points!
A definite improvement since my last visit! Well done guys!
Martin Oordt
The combination of art and wine always tickles me and the rurally minimalistic look got me giggling. We were set free in the gallery to taste the 'best(?)' of Kanonkop's premium ranges which added something special to the Stellies Wine Fest and our visit to this winery. I would need to come back though for a decent tasting. Next stop: L'Avenir
Natalie Marco
We visited Kanonkop during the Stellenbosch Wine Festival and while the festival itself was a bit disappointing this was one of the stars. The tasting room assistant was incredible. Passionate about wine and interesting to talk to. I would go back there just to spend more time chatting to her. She gave everyone the attention they needed and even entertained another taster's child. Wine was exceptional. Now I know what everyone was going on about. Most suprised by the Rosé, not a cheap one but most definitely worth it.
Maggie Mostert
Ambience great, tasting experience ok, wine fantastic! The Paul Sauer is simply divine… Pity that the entrance boom attendant lady was more interested in her personal phone conversation (about what chops to buy) than to let us into the estate…
Jan Langenhoven
Love there wines very good tasting.
Hennie Coetzee
Still a jewel in our crown.
Cobus Coetzee
Stunning wine. Paul Sauer the best
Carla Swanson
Meesterlike wyne met 'n onbesproke karakter en elle lange geskiedenis. Jy hoef nie eers te proe nie, jy kan maar net betaal en inlaai.
Pierre-Benn Villiers
Superb wine
Mark Pryce
Superb Pinotage, best in SA. Nice vibe, informative host and great quality wines
Neil Bent
I love Kanonkop's pinotages and the Paul Sauer… They also do a vertical tasting of these two wines every now and then, which I was privileged enough to attend. Wow, the wines were good. The staff were friendly and Kanonkop's always willing to help out the stellies uni wine soc with discounted or even free wines. Here's a passionate winemaker that knows where the future of wine lies… with the younger people! Great wines!
Marion Lille
Having been at Kanonkop a number of times, it is difficult to write a concise review, as the experience was different each time. The tasting room is normally very busy during tourist season and the tasting assistants are less attentive, preferring to focus on overseas tourists rather than on locals.
If you happen to visit on a quiet day the experience is a lot more positive. The tasting assistant showed good wine knowledge as well as enthusiasm for the farm's wines, which is always a positive thing. And it is easy to get enthusiastic about Kanonkop wines. As usual, their Pinotage is peerless. I am not a big fan of the local grape, but Abrie has definitely mastered the art of getting the most out of it. Their Cabernet Sauvignon has never been exceptional to me, but it's a decent example. Luckily I was also able to taste the new vintage Paul Sauer, and it is clear to see why it nets them so many awards.
Madame de Wyn Listing Owner
@Andrew Gaylord – Now argument that the wine is great. But surely you visit the wine estate to find out more about these great wines and enjoy the whole experience that they have to offer. Otherwise we can all save ourselves the trip and just buy it at our local bottle store.
Andrew Gaylord
All real wine lovers will know that wine tasting is not about how the service of the staff is or how the tasting room looks. You cant appreciate a good wine in the last ten minutes of the day and its not about the price of the wine. Its all about whats in the bottle. Kanonkop is not an average Jo type of wine, I was there a couple of weeks ago and got the chance to taste their newly released Pinotage 2007 and their Cab Sauv 2006 which was out of this world. I give this cellar an 11 out of 10 for their wines. Brilliant.
Jeanri-Tine Zyl
See my review in the Cellar door shoot-out (Dec 2008) in WINE magazine – seems like things are still the same. When I visited, the farm was also "shooting blanks" – a very pretentious experience indeed.
Madame de Wyn Listing Owner
After our first failed attempt to visit Kanonkop, we decide to give them another try on a weeks day. Our host was friendly but stiff. They wines were good, but the prices were a bit steep for my pocket unfortunately. The tasting room felt a bit like a hotel lobby.
Madame de Wyn Listing Owner
Obviously they are selling to much booze to the Midmars and Pick'n Pays of this world to care about passionate wine lovers, driving all the way through to Stellenbosch. The security guard point us away 10 minutes before "closing time". I guess the Kanonkop is shooting blanks.
Hantus Mostert
Words don't come easy to describe Abrie's wine

Nike Golf has officially unveiled Tiger Woods' latest signature golf shoe, the TW'14. The shoe originally made its appearance in a marketer's dream as Woods won his 78th PGA tour victory at The Players Championship. The shoe itself is an evolution of last year's model and maintains a strong foundation that revolves around natural movement and Nike's Free concept. But additionally, breathability and traction were not to be overlooked as both characteristics have been carefully considered in the design of the TW'14. While all the interest surrounding individual customization, Nike Golf will also provide NIKEiD users the chance to customize their very own TW'14 on June 7, which represents the first time any Nike Golf product has been available through NIKEiD. The TW'14 will release on June 7 in its Black/Reflective Silver-Varsity Red colorway with a suggested retail price of $180 USD.

Repository: Smithsonian Institution Archives
Collection: Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes Trial Photographs - During 1925, Watson Davis (1896-1967), Science Service managing editor, took numerous photographs while covering the State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes trial as a reporter. In what was dubbed "The Trial of the Century," Scopes was tried and convicted for violating a state law prohibiting the teaching of the theory of evolution. William Jennings Bryan served on the prosecution team, and Clarence Darrow defended Scopes. Almost eighty years later, the nitrate negatives, including portraits of trial participants, and images from the trial itself and significant places in Dayton, were discovered in archival material donated to the Smithsonian by Science Service in 1971. Marcel C. LaFollette, an independent scholar, historian and Smithsonian volunteer uncovered these rare, previously unpublished photographs of the 1925 Tennessee vs. John Scopes "Monkey Trial" in the Smithsonian Institution Archives (SIA). In 2005, SIA restored fifty-two of the negatives with funds granted by the Smithsonian Women's Committee. Included here are thirty-nine of the images. All images belong to the Record Unit 7091: Science Service, Records, 1902-1965 collection of SIA. All photographs were taken by Watson Davis, Managing Editor of Science Service, while he was in Dayton, Tennessee, June 4-5, 1925, and July 10-22, 1925. LaFollette identified and dated each of these images, and has published a new book highlighting these and other images from the trial entitled, Reframing Scopes: Journalists, Scientists, and Lost Photographs from the Trial of the Century, University Press of Kansas, 2008.

2020's nightmare vision
Is a vision that brings us pain,
While people starve in Melbourne Town
Rudd procrastinates again.
He orders all the premiers
To give him one big idea,
But when we ask to be helped now
He says, 'No bloody fear!'
He's planning for the future
But in the present we have to starve,
He says he'll give us nothing
So, 'Be grateful for what you have!'
But all we have is poverty
Is misery and failure,
So he'll plan ahead, forget us now
That's the story of Australia!
So Rudd 'the dud' forgets us
And neglects us in our poverty,
He's too busy hassling the Queen
To take away her sovereignty.

Quality Control
All oil products are transported in a single line at intervals or in batches. The task of ensuring that the products are not contaminated is of great essence. To ensure this, the Company has a Quality Control section whose role is to guarantee quality assurance of all products transported through the pipeline.
There are different sources of petroleum products contamination, which the company must guard against. The company has well equipped laboratories backed by qualified staff whose responsibility is to carry out quality analysis of the received products. In this regard, KPC has over the years, managed to demonstrate its ability to deliver quality petroleum products that conform to National and International specifications.
KPC has its own Quality Control Laboratories at entry and delivery points, and has also constructed an ultra-modern laboratory at Mombasa, which has been contracted to an independent operator to achieve the desired independence. The laboratories use international (American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM) and (Institute of Petroleum (IP) standards in testing the products for different quality characteristics.
To ensure that different products are not contaminated, the following is done; samples drawn from the ship are tested by KPC and Oil Marketing Company's (OMC's) appointed surveyor to confirm conformance to relevant specifications. Products are only accepted for discharge if results indicate conformance to specifications. Further parallel testing is done after transfer into the storage tanks at Kipevu Oil Storage Facility (KOSF) to confirm that the quality of the products has been maintained after transfer. Products originating from Kenya Petroleum Refineries Ltd. (KPRL) are subjected to parallel testing between KPC and KPRL before acceptance by KPC. At the different stages of testing certificates of quality are produced to serve as evidence of conformance to specifications.
Pipeline is compacted and operated at high pressure. The high pressure ensures that products flow as a solid and minimizes interface growth. (Interface is the inter-section where different products grade come into contact with one another). Product movement is monitored using run sheets and its density used as a major parameter for determining the location of each product grade in the pipeline.
The knowledge of flow rates and the expected time of arrival (ETA) of the batches help in interface monitoring. Interfaces are then monitored based on density at interface monitoring area within the tank farm. Interfaces are classified as either critical or non-critical. i.e. Critical - when it is between a distillate and a spirit, e.g. Automotive Gas Oil/Motor Spirit Premium (AGO/MSP). Non-critical is when it is between a distillate and a distillate (AGO, Illuminating Kerosene (IK)) or spirit and spirit e.g. MSP/MSR. Critical interfaces are directed into designated slop tanks depending on the level of contamination. No interfacing is allowed between Jet A-1 and AGO or spirits.
Re-certification testing is done on petroleum products at the receiving stations before issuing the products back to the OMCs.KPC participates in Inter-laboratory Cross Check program on testing of Jet A-1 coordinated by ASTM to benchmark with other laboratories across the world.
In its effort to exceed customer requirements, the Quality Control section is preparing for compliance to ISO/IEC 17025 standard requirements and later will seek accreditation to the standard to enhance quality assurance on petroleum products.

My heartfelt thanks to Portea.
The regular check-ups we receive are proving very beneficial as we otherwise tend to forget when we need to have our vitals taken.
My father has asthma and needed a regular family doctor service. Portea has helped him a lot with their in-home doctor service.
Since Portea has a network in many cities including Chennai, where we live, and in Bangalore, where our daughter and her family are based, we can travel between cities without carrying our files and records as all the information is available with Portea doctors.
The care, attention and dedication we received from Princy was incredible. I will be certainly recommending Portea and her highly. Her positive and bubbly attitude helped the entire family cope with the pain of dealing with their mother who was very ill.
This short guide covers important information you need to know about eldercare such as financing eldercare, creating an elder-friendly home, reducing eldercare-related stress & other tips on how to give your loved ones the joy-filled quality of life they deserve.

PowerPoint and passion aren't two words typically associated together, but when you add renowned presentation designer Nancy Duarte into the mix, you are inspired to change the world through effective presentations. The AMA Atlanta Chapter recently hosted "An Evening with Nancy Duarte," and this post will offer a recap of the main takeaways.
A Bit of Background on Nancy Duarte
Duarte is the principal and CEO of Duarte Design, and the author of several books including:
- Slide:ology: The Art and Science of Creating Great Presentations
- Resonate: Present Visual Stories that Transform Audiences
- HBR Guide to Persuasive Presentations
She also worked with Al Gore to develop his keynote presentation "An Inconvenient Truth" which was so compelling that filmmaker Davis Guggenheim directed a documentary based on the presentation, and won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.Duarte is also a frequent TED Talker, and works with the organization to improve other TED Talk presentations.
Duarte's passion is to help people effectively communicate their ideas and vision for the world.
Communicators are Torch Bearers
Duarte opened with the idea that as marketers and communicators, we are torch bearers. We help people take the next step into a new concept, idea, or pitch. New ideas can be scary, intimidating, and filled with resistance, but as the torchbearer we hold the guiding light that illuminates the way into something different.
The Best Presenters and Presentations are Focused on Storytelling and Empathy
The greatest communicators use the story format.
PowerPoint slides should be a great narrative with assisting visuals and data. Duarte reminds us that slides can be beautifully designed but if they don't tell a story they will not be effective [side note: Edward Tufte's theories on visual data design and avoiding chartjunk are a great reference to utilize when designing your slides]. Duarte believes that stories impact our belief system and shape our collective conscious, so we can use stories to shape the perceptions and opinions of others.
To tell a great story, you must have empathy.
Duarte stated that the single most important element to begin a presentation with is empathy. She encourages spending time inside the skin of your audience to develop empathy so you can better communicate your vision. If we want to change our audience's perception and get them on board with our idea, then we must empathize and tell our story within our audience's perspective. Duarte calls this resonating with the audience. As presenters, we must "hit their frequency" if we want to effectively communicate our vision.
Tips on Presenting Change
An audience member asked Duarte for tips on presenting change, especially when your audience may be primed to resist. Duarte's recommendations include considering the two polarities as you design your presentation – who will be motivated by your ideas, and who will resist?
Brainstorm a "bucket of resistance" by writing down all the potential ways your audience could resist, and then empathize with your audience through this resistance to bring them over to your goals and vision. Duarte reminds us that if we have to push people, then we haven't thought about the situation empathically.
A Brand is a Story
The best brands tell a story. When corporations have a great story to tell, people want to join in on your journey and be a part of your brand. Duarte recommends hiring staff who share the same values of your brand because skills can be taught. To protect your brand's story and ideals, sometimes you have to make decisions that value reputation over revenue.
Empathy and storytelling are rhetorically effective strategies that enable us to design compelling PowerPoint presentations, and convince the world that our vision and ideas are worth pursuing.

This is a recap of the AMA June Signature Luncheon event, Linking Entrepreneurial Marketing with Innovation and Performance. Really great event with a rock star group of speakers. And, being a startup centered group, the feel was slightly less formal than the typical Signature Luncheon. A lot more laughter, and even some cut-up jeans!
Devon Wijesinghe, CEO Insightpool
Brooke Beach, Marketing Director Kevy
Eric Spett, CEO Terminus
Jeff Hilimire, CEO and Co-Founder Dragon Army
Question 1: How do you focus on sales? What's the importance of sales and marketing in a startup company?
Brooke: Be in the weeds of sales: demos, calls, and being everywhere you need to be. You have a sales organization, not just a sales department, that's growth-oriented. Set periodic milestones to hit your long-term goals.
Devon: Conferences. Attack people coming out of the bathroom. Whatever it takes! Sales and marketing are really meshing into one thing, with different subsets of attributes. A successful sales tactic today is to educate with influencers. Insightpool has been killing it this way lately, hosting webinars with the likes of Brian Solis. Devon also reiterated that people typically don't know they have a problem until you show them.
Brooke: [People are] 45% less likely to buy if first contact is strictly sales. So your messaging and activities must gravitate towards education: eBooks, white papers, influencers, etc. People do their own research these days and will eat up your educational content!
Question 2: Uncomfortable corporations with startups. How do you deal with this?
Eric: Terminus is a data provider — cookies for display ads, etc. Basically, they are putting ads in front of every decision-maker; self-titling it "creepier retargeting," where the targets don't even have to hit your page to be served your ad! Corporations see the value, however, and are generally ok with the practice (it is totally legal, after all).
Devon: It's so fragmented. There's no one touch point.
Question 3: Word association game. Match the process explained to one word of your choosing… What if you couldn't change the marketing plan of your company for 12 months?
Brooke: Horror
Devon: Stupid
Eric: Conservative
Jeff explained this is how large corporations generally run. They fall into this budget allocation trap, which in turn creates an organization that is not agile. Jeff then discussed The Innovator's Dilemma, which really struck a chord with me. Basically, this concept is derived from Clayton Christensen's book, suggesting that "successful companies can put too much emphasis on customers' current needs and fail to adopt new technology or business models that will meet their customers' unstated or future needs."
Side note: I really liked this style of moderating; super creative.
Question 4: What advice would you give to corporations to breakout from this trap?
Brooke: Big money is spent at decision-time, so it's great for vendors and service providers!
Devon: Budget allocations don't really make sense. For example, say you want to win the Super Bowl. How do you get there? It requires agility and the ability to restructure any processes and tactics. Set short-term goals to visualize where you stand in the company, jot down long-term goals in pencil, and work backwards.
Brooke: A big annual budget to spend typically results in doing the same thing year in, year out. There's no A/B testing, no ROI implementation. It comes down to intentionality. For example, startups measure and analyze a lot more, because they inherently have to. Every dollar counts!
(Brooke wrapped up by recommending the Justin Mares book, Traction, with the takeaway that testing is a necessity.)
Devon: Large corporations typically don't factor in that things will change. For example, with employee advocacy being all the buzz these days, organizations aren't prepared to implement these systems that ultimately allow for huge successes like 10X content reach!
Eric: Set up test/experimental budgets that are more open-ended. Have an allocation on the side to use for R&D.
Question 5: Startups (even with upwards of 50 people) can pivot relatively easily. How and why is this?
Eric: Terminus had no idea what to do at the beginning of their journey. They knew the B2B space was underserved, with a huge opportunity, and the market was moving towards automation. They jumped in to the advertising automation space and are confident it will stay at their core, but zig-zags are still to be expected.
Devon: Insightpool began as a lead generation B2B social tool that's now more enterprise level, chasing the big guns.
(In his words, "It's nerve-wracking," but a lot does not matter so long as you have a great product. Devon also said that pivot is a strong word when all you're really doing is changing. Everyone, in every industry, is doing small changes constantly. Again, the key is to remain agile.)
At this point, Affordable College's Sean O'Brien offered his story to the audience. Sean's spearheading efforts that will help create a clear path for students to an affordable, recognized bachelor's degree; amidst hardships in affording the massive tuition payments and also transferring schools. He told the story of his complete pivot, following the realization that college presidents don't care about college transfers and the issues with their credits transferring, a cause I can definitely get behind.
Audience Question: "Startups must see opportunities everywhere. How do you focus and know which to chase?" – Joe Koufman
Devon: If you operate quickly and can absorb it, and have "that opportunity gun guy," go for it. You need an opportunity spotter and a person to implement and plan. These should not be the same person or you'll likely end up on some extravagant, albeit exciting, divergence.
Brooke: Jeff specifically wanted to ask about the influence of David Cummings, the founder of Atlanta Tech Village, while Brooke's been at Kevy. She said that he'd had some influence but not an overwhelming amount. He stressed that it's important to be agile, but not too agile or everything will be left half done. You need that priority and process-oriented person to complement the ideas person. There also needs to be a process to vet opportunities.
Question 6: On transparency…
Eric: Open book policy at Terminus, minus salaries and equity. Eventually compartmentalize a bit more as they grow, but they're just not there yet.
Devon: Humans are really adaptable when given the information. Otherwise, employees will spend too much time asking "what if" and trying to learn what's going on. Everyone is more productive when they know where they (and the company) stand.
Brooke: Transparency builds trust, and decisions are easier when the team understands the "why."
Eric: Hiring process is transparent as well. That could ultimately be the edge over other companies for new talent!
Jeff: Zappos CEO, Tony Hsieh, recently implemented a Holacracy alternative management system, letting self-governing teams get their work done through tactical meetings. It encompasses a non-hierarchical organizational structure and has been adopted by various companies around the world, Zappos being the largest. Being a somewhat new manager myself, learning and studying new management styles like Holacracy is very insightful.
Question 7 (more of a prompt): Chief Marketing Officers (CMOs) spend more than Chief Technology Officers (CTOs) on technologies and softwares.
Brooke: "MarTech" is the new buzzword these days. In 2012, experts stated that by the end of 2017 CMOs would be spending more than CTOs, but it's happened already in 2014! This isn't necessarily a strategy, spending money on technology, but a tool. Technology today is becoming more and more enabling for marketers. Also, we're seeing more agency partnerships with SaaS startups for educational purposes. There's so much out there that it's important to stay plugged in and keep learning.
Devon: Casually coined the term, SWaS. Software WITH a Service. Think, Client Success Managers. Many get addicted to the results, before truly learning and loving the software capabilities.
To wrap it up, Eric addressed SalesLoft's thought leadership expertise. When you create educational and instructional content, it lives online for the lifetime of your web property, there for people to use and reference. You're building a library of helpful content that becomes mutually beneficial, as consumers will begin viewing you as a go-to source and subject-matter expert.
Jeff played one last word association game: "If you were the CMO at a large corporation, what would you immediately change?"
Eric: The way we measure.
Devon: Setting priorities.
Brooke: Enabling time to make decisions.
That wraps it up. Really great answers from all the speakers, please comment or let me know if you have any thoughts or questions.

I know, I know – It's not even Thanksgiving yet. But I can't help it – I always get caught up in the holiday season. As a marketer, I love seeing what brands like Coca-Cola and Best Buy will unveil. (Although I wasn't a big fan of Best Buy's campaign last year – see tangent here.) And as a five-year old at heart, I can't help but get caught up in the magic of the lights, the decorations and, of course, the cookies.
This holiday season, I'm thankful for our 800+ AMA Atlanta members. I love getting to know you, so if you haven't been to an event in a while, please come to one of our upcoming events and say hi. And if you're not already a member, sign up by tomorrow to take advantage of our Fall Membership Drive.
We have two great events coming up after the Thanksgiving holiday. The first is our popular white paper panel with speakers from The Coca-Cola Company, Georgia Pacific, Google, IBM and Chick-fil-A. I'm so thankful that these marketers call Atlanta home and that they've chosen to be a part of our executive advisory board. Then, on Dec. 13, come out to our annual holiday mixer, where we'll be collecting toys for the Ronald McDonald House. A huge thanks to our event sponsor 22squared.
As holiday season approaches, we also are closing out peak wedding season. A big cheers to board members Greg Cohen and Telleen Gegner, who each got married last month. Catch a glimpse of their big days here.

AMA Atlanta, President-Elect
At AMA Atlanta, our mission is to provide value to each individual member by understanding the critical links required to move them through their life as a marketer. And we emphasize "life as a marketer" – from high school marketers in the DECA program to collegiate members, entry level marketers to CMOs, we strive to make sure everyone has a home at AMA Atlanta.
This week, at breakfast with our scholarship team – Ken Bernhardt, the generous founder of our scholarship program, Patrick West, our Collegiate chair and Ashley – I was pleased to see this mission come full circle yet again. As we made plans for this year's scholarship nomination process, we looked back at some of our previous winners. Jennifer Beech is now on the board of our chapter, Shauna Bassett is one of our awesome volunteers and Adam LaHaie, a current student at UGA, has introduced a digital marketing education series to his chapter. These up-and-coming marketers are already on the radar of some of Atlanta's top marketing executives, and we look forward to watching as their careers progress.
Speaking of Atlanta's top marketers, next week, we're meeting with our Executive Advisory Board, where we'll brainstorm topics and speakers for our upcoming events. We'd love to hear from you too – what would you like to see presented at our future events, and how can we help move you through your career?
Renee Spurlin
AMA Atlanta, President-Elect
Our mission here at AMA Atlanta is to support Atlanta marketers through the lifetime of their careers. I believe we truly pay off this mission, working with high school DECA marketers, to our collegiate chapters, to young professional in the early stages of their careers, to professional marketers as they move from entry-level to executive levels. Our newly re-launched mentorship program supports this educational mission, and our multicultural SIG helps to keep us diverse. It's so rewarding to follow the career paths of so many marketers in the AMA Atlanta world.
Our Path to Success event next week with Mary-Ann Somers of The Coca-Cola Company, hosted by our Young Professionals SIG, will help support this mission even further as Mary-Ann shares her story of advancing in her career and earning one of the coolest jobs in marketing – traveling the world for The Coca-Cola Company in search of what's new and next in beverages. It's certainly a can't-miss event. Click here to learn more & sign up today! Perhaps Mary-Ann will become a #marketinghero of yours after this event!
A big thanks to Marion, his wonderful team and our friends at Coke for all the support in making this a big event!
Did You Know …
"Young professional" is just a state of mind?
Our Young Professionals group is so much fun, but don't let the title scare you off – it's just a state of mind and we welcome friends of any age to join in these great events – from networking to education events, this team is top-notch! Connect with Marion Yoder, YP Chair, if you're interested in learning more or getting involved with this group.
A big thanks to everyone who came out to our AJC Digital Series event today! Did you enjoy it? Let us know what you'd like to see from the chapter in the coming months …
Enjoy your day!
AMA Atlanta
Our fall membership drive is now underway, and this year's theme focuses on how AMA Atlanta helps you be a marketing hero. From professional development to networking to leadership opportunities, AMA can help you on your path to become your organization's marketing hero.
In fact, it's through AMA that I've met many of my marketing heroes: Jo Ann Herold – vice president of communications & PR at Arby's, Ken Bernhardt – professor of marketing and special assistant to the dean at Georgia State University and Heather Foster– vice president of marketing for ControlScan.
This week, I added another name to that list through AMA – Greg Weitekamp, director of broadcasting for the NCAA. At Tuesday's Signature Luncheon, Greg shared with us the evolution of sports marketing throughout the last 75 years of March Madness. Boy does he have a list of responsibilities! From managing broadcasting of ALL of the NCAA championships (everything from basketball to fencing), juggling the changing way consumers watch sports – increasingly on mobile while commenting on social media, and marketing the ancillary events that surround the championships, we appreciate Greg taking time out of his busy schedule to share his insights. He also gave us a sneak peek into the 75th celebration of March Madness – including some details that haven't been released yet. If you're a basketball fan, I sure hope you were there!
Tell me, who are your marketing heroes, and how can AMA Atlanta help you becoming a marketing hero in your own career?
Renee Spurlin
AMA Atlanta, President-Elect
There are so many AMA-zing things happening at AMA Atlanta this week, I hardly know where to start!
First, we're proud to launch our new Multicultural Marketing Special Interest Group (SIG) and its CULTURALISM event series. The SIG will foster an environment for diverse marketers to learn and share ideas and best practices, while also providing traditionally general market corporations the opportunity to meet multicultural marketers and learn how to incorporate the discipline into their marketing plans.
The first CULTURALISM event, "Reaching the New General Market," will feature Jeffrey Bowman, Ogilvy NY Cross Cultural Practice Lead on September 13. Nick Nelson, AMA Atlanta Multicultural SIG chair and principal and CMO of the event's presenting sponsor, Liquid Soul Media, has done an excellent job of building a foundation for this new SIG that will arm our members with knowledge and skills to address the needs of all customers. Thanks to Nick and his team at Liquid Soul!
We're also finalizing the plans for our Fall Fashion Show, sponsored by Bloomingdales. It's a fun way to meet your fellow members, try on the latest trends and take advantage of Bloomingdales' friends & family day for 20% off! We're looking a couple of volunteers to model for the show on September 27 – contact Lisa Maclellan if you're interested. Check out our photos from the spring event, and don't forget to register – it's free for members!
Finally, I want to give a huge thanks to our Chapter Excellence Awards team, who met earlier this week to put the finishing touches on the entry we'll be submitting to the national AMA organization. It's so inspiring to see everything we've accomplished over the past year all in one place (It's so much it barely fits in a 2-inch binder)! Amanda Parker, Louise Mulherin and Jo Ann Herold are definitely winners in my book, as is Jo Ann's daughter Lily, who made these awesome caricatures of the AMA Atlanta board to adorn the entry. Can you guess who's who?

In a recent Atlanta Business Chronicle article regarding the current challenges in marketing, Ken Bernhardt, professor of marketing at Georgia State University and AMA Atlanta executive advisory board member, cites our new white paper – The Consumer in 2020. In the article, which discusses the rapid pace of change in the marketing field, Bernhardt outlines the three key themes of the white paper.
1) Consumers are becoming more intensely involved with brands, more judgmental and more vocal about their feelings.
2) There is unparallelled adoption of technology by consumers.
3) The pace of change in the world and market has increased, driven by tech-savvy and tech-enabled consumers.
With these trends, marketers have to redefine how they reach consumers. Read the full article here.

We are at ground zero of a breathtaking explosion of new products, services and business models that feels like a Grucci fireworks display on the Fourth of July. Productivity apps like Evernote, curated experiences by Living Social, medical patient communities like PatientsLikeMe.com, mobile payment services like PayWithaTweet.com, music stores like Spotify, new social sites like Airtime and innovation engines like Quirky.com, who's mission is to make it easier to create and launch new products, seem to appear daily. Now throw in start-ups of five years ago that managed to survive the economic downturn, also pumping out new products and line extensions to reignite growth and you have a skyrocketing burst of brands trying to create critical mass.
The expansion is partially driven by the digital-social-mobile revolution across virtually every B2B and B2C sector. Another driver is a new wave of investment by cash rich private equity firms that sat out the downturn until the economy began showing signs of health.
One thing these new concepts share is the need to reach and engage customers. But the economic winter taught us to reign in overhead and manage marketing ROI tighter than ever. Consequently, the need for effective and affordable marketing services has never been greater.
Enter new models for delivering marketing strategy, advertising, promotion, public relations and social/digital media programs that promise less expensive, customized access and allow marketers to purchase only the services they need. The new models leverage the army of world-class marketing talent forced out of the traditional agencies and downsized marketing departments, giving growth companies and start-ups access to professional marketing support they could not previously afford. The examples of these new models shown here illustrate distinct approaches to solving brand needs ranging from executive team level strategic support, to tactical providers with highly specific technical expertise.
Growth and emerging market companies in the $10-$500 million revenue range in need of executive team level marketing muscle can reach for Chief Outsiders, which offers Chief Marketing Officers on a "fractionalized" or part time basis. This group of elite senior marketers is experienced in leading marketing organizations across a wide range of categories and brands. Beyond their pedigree and front line experience growing businesses, Chief Outsiders' value proposition includes the cost effectiveness of a part time marketing chief, "instant on" capability and the collective expertise of the entire team, which meets regularly to review client progress and needs, said founder Art Saxby. Clients experience higher-order strategic guidance that benefits the enterprise as a whole, not just their marketing function. They get it in small doses or as a major strategic and marketing plan overhaul, depending on need.
Chief Outsiders go past traditional consulting engagements into the execution phase, helping clients implement the strategies they design. They take an ROI approach to setting fees so clients pay based on results and have CMOs who have skin in the game. CMOs stay with clients from six to nine months, or the point at which the company's growth requires a full time marketing head, who they often help recruit. Overall, a highly flexible and cost effective option for start-ups and growth companies to step up their strategic marketing efforts. Hear what their clients have to say on their website, chiefoutsiders.com.
Freeman+Leonard is a marketing services provider that will customize a team of professionals with the expertise to meet the specific needs of each client. They can support smaller one-time projects with a single individual (such as a web designer), and bigger projects with a team complete with a project manager drawn from its base of 3,500 professionals. If the client's needs are more strategic, Freeman+Leonard also has a team of 75 senior marketers dubbed "Game Changers," each with over 25 years experience who can develop brand, marketing and business strategy, conduct agency searches and even provide career coaching to clients' staff members. A team of senior ideators is also available to create the "big (marketing) idea," as part of a proprietary, coast-to-coast structured brainstorming process. Check out their very user friendly website at www.freemanleonard.com.
One of the newest models is a web-based marketing services provider branded ConsultantzCommunity. ConsultanzCommunity is a new web-based job and social site by Tesar-Reynes, a national search firm that specializes in branding and integrated marketing communications talent. ConsultantzCommunity posts projects from over 150 clients onto a site that over 300 consultants and freelancers can apply for based on their expertise. Consultants apply for jobs independently or combine their capabilities with others for more complex projects.
The ConsultantzCommunity site gives consultants and marketing communications freelancers the opportunity to gain new projects from a growing list of clients and allows them to stay abreast of trends in the industry according to partner Bob Tesar.
Aquent Studios is one of the longest standing providers of freelance marketing staffing, marketing execution services and project management systems. Since 1986, Aquent has connected talent with desirable roles at global 1000 brands. They provide customized solutions to address client needs by placing creative and marketing professionals in contract and temp-to-perm positions at some of the world's most revered consumer and B2B brands.
However, their menu of services runs much deeper. In addition to staffing, Aquent provides web-based project management and project approvals processes. They can also house digital assets for team members to access as needed and provide project-based content development and consulting services.
This is just a sampling of what's available, but many more resources are just a click away. Also in this space is an army of talented independent consultants that have morphed their practices to address the demand from emerging growth companies and even larger brands that seek new solutions to specific challenges they face without turning their agency relationships upside down.
Steve Jobs, arguably the greatest innovator since Thomas Edison, did not invent the MP3 player, he just created one people wanted to use, according to his biographer Walter Isaacson. Freelancing or "fractional" talent has been available to the marketing industry for decades, but these new firms are aggregating talent, making it easier for companies to get the services they need and creating value through affordable customized solutions. Their clients, especially start-ups and emerging growth companies, are the real winners. Companies of this size can now afford access to world-class talent from CMO-level leaders through tactical subject matter experts and services to reach and engage their target customers like never before.
The key to getting real value from these resources is to have a very clear understanding of your expectations. First step is to put together a well-structured brief that describes your vision, brand positioning, target customer, value proposition, expected outputs, timing and how you intend to measure success of the program. Going through the discipline required to do this will help determine the level of support you require from strategic to tactical. The best marketing services providers start with a discovery process that helps them understand your brand, strategy, specific needs and expectations, so both parties can agree up front on what success looks like.

3D Animation Spinal Cord & Related Organs work mode, Products
This project was awarded to magicmachine for $750 USD.Get free quotes for a project like this
Project BudgetN/A
Total Bids20
Project Description
We are looking to re-create an existing CopyRight 3D animation about the Spine and the Related organs not by us 3-D animated movie,
The animationshould be similar like this one [url removed, login to view]
There is no sound or speaker required. The sounds and explanations will be later added from us since we need it in different languages.
Therefore we need also the source files.
The video should be extended then by a 3D animation from our product Thermal Jade massage bed
where 3D person (e.g. an elderly man, not a bone man like in the beginning of this video) lay on it and looks very happy and relaxed.
It should be visible how the Jade massage sledge moves up and down under the person (which is normally
not visible because the massage sledge is covered inside the massage bed) and the related organs should
be displayed (similar like the pictures 3 and 4 at the slide show of our website [url removed, login to view]).
At the end the man should stand up, stretch his arms in the height, laugh and walk powerful away.
The complete speed of the animation should be reduced since we have a relax product, so the video in the
beginning could easily strectched to at least 5 minutes plus another 5 minutes at the end showing our product
and the animation above.
Please write "SYG3D" in the Subject of your answer/offer so that we know that you read this description carefully.
We must see a portfolio of animated work you have previously created.
Answers without this remark will definitely not be regarded, also we will not answer direct mails etc. outside
