Saudi Arabia's Prince Alwaleed bin Talal has teamed up with the Bin Laden Group in a grandiose project to build the world's tallest tower in the Red Sea port city of Jeddah, outdoing Dubai's Burj Khalifa, the current title holder.
The proposed skyscraper, the Kingdom Tower, will soar more than 1km into the sky and take five years to build. It is the latest in a long line of glitzy mega-projects in the oil-rich Gulf countries that are as much about national and personal prestige as they are about showcasing their economic clout.
The tower, which will include luxury apartments, offices and a shopping centre, is thought to be the brainchild of the Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed, who is the nephew of King Abdullah.
The prince, one of the world's wealthiest men, said yesterday that his company, Kingdom Holding Co, had signed a $1.2bn deal with the Bin Laden Co, a Saudi construction firm owned by the family of the slain terror chief Osama bin Laden, to build the tower on the outskirts of Jeddah.
The tower, designed by Chicago-based Adrian Smith & Gordon Gill Architecture, will, if completed, be the glimmering centrepiece of a $20bn new city that looks out over the Red Sea, as well as a prized trophy for its wealthy backers.
Currently, Dubai's Burj Khalifa, which was completed last year, is the highest building in the world at 828 metres, with its nearest rival, the Taipei 101 in Taiwan, lagging some way behind at 509 metres. The eventual height of the Saudi tower is expected to soar substantially higher than 1,000 metres, but its backers are cagey about the exact scope.
In recent years, the Gulf states have embraced ever more grandiose and ambitious ventures such as man-made islands and luxury housing developments. Such "prestige projects" at times mask more serious underlying economic problems. Dubai unveiled the $1.5bn Burj Khalifa last January even as its financial and real-estate markets were crumbling. Just months before, it had been forced to borrow cash from the neighbouring Abu Dhabi to deal with its deepening debt problems.

Um... Sorry 'bout That
That's when my older son showed me the blood coming from his thumb. Which came from a samurai chop. From screaming boy.
Well, if you aren't bleeding to death, go to time out anyway!

Good use of emotional release without further bloodshed though. - 6:17 AM

Dude!!! The Sister (aka the AUNT) says BAD FORM!! You sent the older son to time out even though younger, screaming son drew blood? BAD FORM!

Becky and Mitch's Wedding
"They did our videography for our wedding and we were extremely happy with them! The videographer stayed throughout the entire ceremony and reception and all of our guests were impressed that although she took a lot of film she never got in the way and we hardly even noticed she was there. The video was great and they had it done a week after the wedding. So quick! They captured all of the moments we would have wanted them to get and also had amazing prices. I would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting videography at their wedding!!"

I have two rental car bookings to make for my upcoming trip to Japan.
I was thinking to book via ToCoo! again - we used them for our 2013 Kyushu car rental and that was fine. They have also sent an email in late November advising previous customers how to take advantage of a special distributor's rate.
But I'm struggling to navigate their website to work out my options.
I've also tried Hertz and Nippon Car and struggling with those too.
1st booking:
4th April 8 am car pick up - from Hikone station
5th April approx 5 pm drop off - Either by our hotel (APA Hotel Kyoto, at east end of Shijo Dori) OR we can drop off in Northern Kyoto and bus down to APA.
I can't even work out how to locate nearest rental car offices, let alone get further along to see car types and prices!
2nd booking:
16th April 8 am pick up - somewhere in Kanazawa (checking out of Hotel Trusty)
22nd or 24th April -- details depend on whether we should return it in Nikko on arrival, return it in Nikko when ready to leave, or return it somewhere en route back to Tokyo on departure?
Can anyone help? I'm really really struggling here!

I think I can help walk you thru a booking at Toocoo.
Go here: http://www2.tocoo.jp/en
See the map with buttons for regions. Hikone is in Kinki region so click on the Kinki button.
Now you see a map of prefectures in Kinki. Hikone is in Shiga-ken, so click the Shiga button.
Choose your pick-up and return date/times.
Under pickup location you see Shiga is selected and under that "All areas". Click on that All areas dropdown and choose the opotion Hikone City, ...
Under Return Location, choose Search by Area (radio button) and choose Kyoto. Next to that is an All area dropdown with several Kyoto dropoff locations.
You would want to now identify the ward (ku) that is best for dropoff, but the first option is Kyoto station, so choose that one for now.
Now under Choose Rental Car Brand, check the box for all three options.
Click Search. -
Report Abuse
For your dates, I see only one result and it is at Time Car Rental Maibara Ekimae.
Scroll back to the top and, next to the return date/time, check the Undecided box and do another search.
That shows that there is a Nippon Rental Car Hikone Ekimae location. -

Thanks MrWunrfl,
I'll try it that way tonight and see if I can book.
Is it possible that rental cars are already fully booked for April at this stage? Comment has been removed by Fodor's moderators
Report Abuse
No worries! I know April is the busiest season, so that's my worry. I need to try again following your kind guidance, I haven't had a chance since I posted.
Report Abuse
Thanks so much, I made the first rental car booking yesterday, using ToCoo! Suddenly all the sites (Nissan, Nippon, Orix, Hertz etc. all had availability for April, so perhaps they operate like hotels and don't bother loading more than 3 months ahead?
It was a bit of a struggle finding the best options in terms of pick up and drop off depot, but I think I've gone for logical choice.
Waiting on an answer on some questions about Nikko before I work out return date on the second rental and go ahead and book that.
Thanks again!

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Apple could see a larger-than-expected iPhone buying pause ahead of the company's upcoming iPhone 5 launch this fall, Pacific Crest analyst Andy Hargreaves asserted in a research note.
Following new checks with the supply chain, the analyst cut his June quarter iPhone shipment forecast to 25.4 million from 27.2 million; for the September quarter he goes to 22.2 million from 25.9 million. (His forecast assumes no revenue from iPhone 5 in the September quarter.)
On the other hand, he continues to expect "extraordinary demand" for Apple products through fiscal 2013. He thinks the company is likely to be supply constrained on iPhone 5 for the first several months after launch, "which will likely make Apple's ability to ramp supply the key driver of FY 2013 earnings."
Meanwhile, Hargreaves says he continues to expect the company to launch a 7.85-inch iPad in October. "Further, Apple appears to be shifting component order volume heavily toward the smaller iPad, which suggests a strong focus on the device into the holidays," he writes.
For the September 2012 fiscal year, he cuts his EPS forecast to $45.35 a share, from $46.71; for FY 2013, his forecast inches up to $53, from $52.84. His FY 2012 revenue forecast is now $154.23 billion, down from $157.05 billion; for FY 2013, he now sees $179.53 billion, up from $177.99 million.
Hargreaves continues to recommend Apple shares, but adds that "investors' return expectations should be moderated by the likelihood for
slowing replacement cycles, weak macroeconomic conditions and increasing saturation in developed markets through FY 2013."
AAPL is up 36 cents, at $586.14.

Then again, I'm not sure, but if you're really stuck, I hope you'll find that useful. (I want to be back in the companion assist leaderboard ;)RepliesHmmmm...I tried giving them the file but that wasn't enough, and there seemed to be no way to remove the clipboard from the station (it literally says "the clipboard must remain in the station"). I even tried taking the page when looking at the FBI list, but that didn't work. I'll have to try this a bit differently tonight. Perhaps I don't need the FBI list at all and all I need to do is type "tattoo"!

DeleteThat is a moronic bit of coding there.
Also: Leetkey for firefox has ROT13 decode as a right click option.
What Alfred said! By the way, the word I used to get the drunk driver in the slammer was "Felony". But what really got me stuck was the Courthouse. How did you get to see Judge Palmer to stop him from bailing Hoffman out? The reception clerk won't let me in. I have visited the Hotel a dozen of times but apparently there's nothing I can do about those two closed doors yet.
ReplyDeleteRepliesIt looks like we're still pretty much in synch Charles!
I had the same problem here as you, but I paid close attention to what the clerk was saying to me. He kept saying "I can only disturb the judge for an emergency" or something like that.
I just typed the word "emergency" (which is one of the solutions Ilmari listed below) and he let me through.Oohh good catch... thanks Trickster & Ilmari... I wasn't even sure if I was supposed to bother the judge, as the jailer kept saying that Hoffman was being bailed in the reception area or something like that and I was thinking I had missed a screen somewhere.
While I'm generally enjoying the game, the limitations of the parser are apparent, particularly when dealing with NPCs. The lack of proper feedback ("How can you do that?") can be very frustrating too.
I'd read Tks' comment first, and then Alred's; Tk hints at the answer, Alfred gives it to you.

Official "Bug" Trailer
Posted: August 22nd, 2006 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
After a few clips, the official trailer for "Bug" has been released. The trailer is a quick glimpse into the film's story and into the psyche of the characters.
Peter's (
Michael Shannon
) Gulf War experience has left him with some rather unusual conspiracy theories. He has a peculiar obsession with bugs and even believes that the government has implanted several inside his body as part of his post-war treatment. Agnes (
Ashley Judd
), a lonely waitress, begins to share his abnormal fantasy and the two develop an unhealthy relationship based on mutual paranoia. Completely immersed in their new ideology, they hole themselves up in the motel room as their behavior begins to descend further down into alarmingly fanatical inclinations that border on schizophrenia.
The film premiered at this year's Cannes Film Festival to overwhelmingly fantastic reviews, and will get some attention during the Academy Awards.
Lions Gate Films
has scheduled "Bug" for a

In case you haven't seen it yet, one of our members has been blogging their experience with noopept, a nootropic drug. In order to make it easier for our members to find, we are creating a link to it here via the forum.
An excerpt from the introduction:
I was going to start off by writing a long summary of my month-long experiment with noopept in my quest to make myself smarter.
But then I realized I've been way too verbose over the past month already. So, I took the results chart and posted it at the top. No explanation, no summary to read through first. Just the results.
It has been nearly a month since I have started taking noopept, a designer "nootropic" drug. Nootropics are thought to stimulate nerve growth, increase attention or otherwise make you smarter. Noopept is one of the more powerful of these drugs, or so they say.
Photo Credit
Lying in bed, my mind racing.
The alarm clock glowed 2:13. A.M.
I was in overdrive, but I should have been passed out from exhaustion.
Now that I have my dose of noopept down, literally, I feel as if I can refocus my efforts onto the backbone of the experiment: consistent dosing, testing IQ, memory and typing, and trying to limit the subjective reviews of the experience.
So in all fairness and openness, a Guest user posted a reply to my previous article: What's the Rush?: Chemical Enlightenment with Noopept. In the reply, I was told my dosage was too high.
As I sit here, feeling like an idiot, with a "pinch" of noopept powder under my tongue, I can't help but wonder if there is some evil mad scientist out there laughing at me: "Ha ha ha, we created some fake wikipedia article with some inconclusive studies as sources, and now we can sell suckers like him fake chemicals because they're desperate to be smarter."
In the pages below, you will find the experience one person has taken in a quest to improve himself and his mind through unconventional means.
Not content with meditation, reading or practicing math problems, I decided to embark on a journey through the world of nootropics--chemicals that have the potential to make you smarter.
So I have been taking noopept for 4 days now, and I can honestly say I do not feel any improvement.
I am not sure what I was expecting. A few sources online indicated they began to feel something after only a few days. They could not quantify it, but they felt 'smarter' or at least more alert. I am wondering if it was all a placebo effect.
I have been reading the blog posts about taking noopept to get smart and was wondering where is a good source for noopept. It's too hard to tell which websites are legitimate.

Ticks are arachnids, so they have eight legs and two body parts. Their elongated bodies are red-brown in color, and 1/8 inch long, though engorged females can grow to 1/2 inch long and 1/4 inch wide and turn gray-blue to olive colored. They have two mouthparts: backward shaped teeth to open skin and make holes, and piercing-sucking mouthparts to draw blood. To remove a tick, pull from the point of entry (where the mouthparts attach to the skin) firmly and steadily directly outward without twisting. Put the removed tick in alcohol to kill it.

Dragons survive overtime
Credit: Tara Carvalho
In a game between Duxbury and Hingham that had serious title implications in the Patriot League, the undefeated Dragons came up with the big play when it was needed most.
Junior quarterback Sean McCarthy connected with junior Wes Quinzani on third-and-goal from the 10-yard line in the first overtime last night to give Duxbury (8-0) a pulsating 14-7 victory over the Harbormen (6-2).
Hingham's last-ditch attempt to extend the game to a second extra period went by the books, as the Dragons defense came up with a stop on fourth-and-goal to extend the team's state-best winning streak to 34 games.
More importantly, the victory puts the Dragons on the path to compete for a third straight Super Bowl title.
"I was talking with (Hingham) coach Paul Killinger before the game and we both said this was probably coming down to the last play," said Duxbury coach Dave Maimaron. "They are a great team and it was too bad someone had to lose that game.
"On the winning play, we had Joe Guilfoile running a shallow route, but Sean went to his second read — and having a junior QB do that showed me that he has guts. We talked about making plays all week, and they stepped up and made a huge play when we needed it the most."
Hingham got the early jump when Sam Benger opened the game with a 48-yard kickoff return. Quarterback Joe Spaziani finished the seven-play drive with a 3-yard scamper that put the Harbormen up 7-0.
But Duxbury and McCarthy marched 68 yards on 12 plays, the biggest being a pass interference call on fourth-and-12 from the Hingham 26 that kept the drive moving. McCarthy evened things at 7 with a 14-yard rush on the next play.
Neither team could find traction in quarters two and three, but in the fourth it was Hingham that missed two golden opportunities to take the lead. The first came on fourth-and-1 run from the Duxbury 19 that was stopped short, while the second came on a 25-yard field goal attempt with time running out, but the snap was mishandled.

Editors' Review
+This isn't the perfect file encryption program, but it works well enough that it should appeal to some privacy minded novice users. Absolute Password Protector's simple button and text interface is easy to navigate. The publisher left out the text in one important link explaining encrypting into a text file, but most users will figure out the missing information and the rest of the text is clearly written.
The Absolute Password Protector demo is limited to files of 10KB or less, and it took seconds to encrypt or decrypt test files. It's easy to access the program with a context menu shortcut, and the process is quick and easy. Enter a password and save the file to complete the process. The program offers options to delete or shred the original file. Users can also choose to hide the encrypted file into an image.
The program's 128-bit encryption is fine for most personal users. A helpful feature makes it easy to quickly send an encrypted file through your default e-mail app. However, recipients must also have Absolute Password Protector to decrypt the file.
Inexperienced users looking to encrypt files for personal use will like Absolute Password Protector's simple approach. Experienced users looking for more features, or those sharing encrypted files, should continue their search for the perfect application.

Vision gains achieved in the VIEW 1 trial were "largely maintained" at the conclusion of the VIEW 1 Extension Study, according to the study results.
In the four arms of the VIEW 1 trial, 1,217 patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration were randomized to receive 0.5 mg intravitreal Eylea (aflibercept, Regeneron) injections every 4 weeks, 2 mg of aflibercept every 4 weeks, 2 mg of aflibercept every 8 weeks after three initial monthly doses, or 0.5 mg Lucentis (ranibizumab, Genentech) every 4 weeks. Mean best corrected visual acuity at baseline was 55.6 letters, and at the 96-week conclusion of the VIEW 1 trial, patients gained a mean of 10.2 letters.

Download Alert: Free Open-Source DJ software Mixxx!
Get hooked on this turntable emulator.
Posted by
on Thu Aug 6, 2009
Continuing on my journey of discovery of free, open source software I ran across this gem by complete accident. Let's just say that after about 5 minutes I was completely hooked!
The software I am talking about is called Mixxx, from the aptly named
The software is a double turntable emulator which uses your mp3 library to allow you to create some absolutely mind-blowing shit. I'll prequel the rest by saying that I have no DJ experience what-so-ever, in fact, I've never even been allowed to touch a turntable before. Once I got my hand slapped, no joke, DJs don't like it when you mess with their stuff. The good news is, now YOU can slap people trying to touch your desktop or laptop. Mixxx puts you in control of your music with an extremely easy-to-use interface with tool-tips which help guide you on your voyage.
Within about 10 minutes of playing with it I was already able to cue up two tracks and start mixing them. Mixxx has a pretty sweet, and fairly accurate BPM detection algorithm which lets n00bs like me easy beat-match two tracks together.
I started out doing something very simple, mixing a Bounty Killa acapella with a bunch of random rap instrumentals. I definitely didn't hit my cues right from the start, it takes some practice to get this down, but is a great way to learn how DJs do their thing.
Here is my [fairly poor] example:
Bounty Killa vs Dre, Busta Rhymes, Wu Tang, Eminem, Mobb Deep
For the most part, this was an easy process and made me start feeling adventurous. Next up I mixed Wu-Tang's C.R.E.A.M vs. a random UK Garage instrumental I had laying around. Trying to push the boundaries of the auto-bpm-detector I mashed up Nate Dogg's "Gangsta Walk" with Coldplay's "Clocks" with an interesting result. Unfortunately, neither the acapella or the instrumental I had was of great quality but it certainly shows a nice example of what a layman can accomplish in about fifteen minutes of time. The example follows:
Nate Dogg "Gangtsa Walk" vs Coldplay "Clocks"
Mixxx is awesome for 1. doing mash-ups and 2. makes it very easy to create a full playlist and mix a live set like a real DJ.
According to their site, Mixxx interfaces with Serato, among other pro DJ equipment, which I don't have.
I didn't find a way to integrate VST or DXI effect software, which sucks because aside from a very simple EQ and flanger, Mixxx doesn't offer any FX. I could just imagine ripping a live set with a glitch vst, some reverb and a better EQ tool. Of course, the software is free and we all know that beggars can't be choosers. Another great addition would be the ability to add a third track into the mix, but maybe that's asking too much. The good news is, its open source and being continuously improved and developed, so many more functions are likely to appear in future versions. Given my experience with it, I think this project easily has a future.
Mixxx allows you to record your set in real time, rendering it as a high quality WAV or AIFF file.
Overall, I have to give this software two big thumbs up for the amount of entertainment it is sure to provide. Whether you're completely new to DJing like I am, or an experienced DJ, this is definitely worth checking out!
Would love to hear some feedback on this from a DJ.

A conversation on NPR the other day, hit the nail on the head - there are more laws protecting products, but not enough protecting the people who make the products. This goes beyond child exploitation. But people in general exploitation.
As long as people want cheaper products, the companies will fight to bring down prices but keep profits up. This means that they usually cut costs at base wages. And this is why we have outsourced work to countries that have no ethical work laws. Because now you not only have to worry about fifty cents a day, add on top of that more than likely being raped or abused? This is why I feel better sometimes that I thrift. I think I'm not creating more need for new things. By no means does it stop it, cause in spite of what I do, this all still continues.

I personally feel that the only way you can buy ethically is by buying more from charity shops (see below). There are certain companies which are extremely unethical. I know for fact that v poor people work for literally no payment (just food) to make Nike products. This is true for sure.
If you want to check the ethical status of a particular company try here http://www.corporatecritic.org/companies.aspx http://www.oxfam.org.uk/shop/ I personally try to buy local rather than from far afield, always buy from charity if they sell it, fairtrade is good but some companies exploit it* I also use my Amex (Red) Card to make the purchase so that at least some good comes from it hopefully. http://www.americanexpress.com/pes/u...te/index.shtml * The Co-Op double up the donation to The Fair Trade Foundation !! - good on them |

yeah, it is so wrong. I think that most people who buy the products would ot willingly buy into exploitation but sadly apathy gets the better of people. That is to say they don't care enough to become educated to make the right choices. Also they don't see the impact of it, it is hidden from us.
This topic makes me sad. If anyone wishes to help there is always this, but for those who don't wish to ..... so be it. http://www.maketradefair.com/en/index.htm |
26-12-2007 | |
Yeah it's hidden because too many people make their money in this way. I visited a couple of "sweatshops" while I was working for a product design company over here and some of them were our clients to plan their brand strategy. Its just crazy. The workers there, mostly from the poor north, have no real social life and just get old doing the same work over and over again every day.
Imagine that... you do nothing except the same thing every day and get old while doing that. Most of them can't read or write so there is also no chance to get promoted. It would be good if more people would think about which brands they support. But I guess in a time in which probably 80-90% of products come from some sort of sweatshops for mass production its pretty hard to avoid it. Especially if you consider the huge amount of cover ups. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/23/op...in&oref=slogin |

My Papercrafting Blog featuring my Cards and creations showcasing Creative Expressions products as well as Spellbinders, Ranger and many more!
Tuesday, 21 October 2014
Back on Your Screens & Tuesday Bright...
This is a kind of stop press today as well as the usual card! I have been asked to demonstrate today on Create and Craft with the Sue Wilson Dies so Hopefully I will be able to demo the making of this card today! The shows are at 10am and 3pm it would be great if you could tune in for my first solo show especially as I haven't given anyone much notice!
I'm glad everyone loved the beige from yesterday however I thought it was time for a little brighter colour! Todays card is definitely brighter with a colour choice I rarely use namely pink!
I demonstrated the principle of how to make this card, in blue however, on the 6pm show which I believe a lot of people would of missed as it is only available on Freeview here in the UK until 6pm. However if you want to see how to make a blue version of this one you can see area peat on the Create and Craft website, if you click HERE you can see a repeat of the show . This will also show you the embarrassing moment when I realised I had put the top on the wrong way and had to turn this into an easel card! I really shouldn't be sharing something that makes me look daft however we all make mistakes, it's the only way we learn!
This pink version is made in the same method however I have used a different die. This one uses the French Collection Auvergne die set. I based it all on the colours of White, vintage Gold foundation card and a pink from my stash.
I made this card to show, especially for our American friends, that even a large die can make a small and hopefully cute card!

Good luck for todays shows. Will be recording them but will try to watch live and send an email in too. I hope you are able to relax more this time : ) Take care.Hi John,
I love that little card and shall be doing quite a few of them as Xmas cards, time is marching by too quickly..........
Only saw you when I switched on the telly, so shall be recording the shows today. You are certainly doing Sue proud on your solo debut.
I love Sue's dies, they are so versatile and elegant.
Have a great day at C&C, hope they're looking after you.
RoseWell what a surprise - not working today and turned the telly box on this morning and thought now there looks a familiar face!!! Well done you - thought the demos were amazing and yiu would never have known it was your first time or solo anyway - love the colour combo for the itty bitty card - would never have put these together but it works and loved the SW card aka JL card - lol xx good luck for the afternoon show and have sky+ it to catch up later xx GailT xx
ReplyDeleteHi John - I managed to watch this afternoons show and just wanted to say it was brilliant - you are so informative and explained everything so well - a real pro!! Thanks for the demo in the filigree card - I have seen these on yours and Becca Feekens blog and read the instructions but prefer to see how to make/do things rather than read instructions so will defo have a go at one of these as you showed how easy it is to make although it looks so complicated - you are a natural on TV xx GailT xx
ReplyDeleteStunning card John. I'm only paying a fleeting visit for now to say I thoroughly enjoyed your demos on C&C (the 22.00-23.00 repeat tonight). Imagine my surprise on finding out that you are not an Aussie living in Australia! Me thinks some little lady must have been telling me porkies!!

Characterization of Muscarinic Receptor-Mediated Cationic Currents in Longitudinal Smooth Muscle Cells of Mouse Small Intestine
In mouse intestinal smooth muscle cells held at −50 mV, carbachol evoked an atropine-sensitive inward current in the intracellular presence of Cs+. The current response consisted of an initial peak followed by a smaller plateau component on which oscillatory currents frequently arose. Results from various experimental procedures indicated that the inward current is a muscarinic receptor-operated cationic current (mIcat) sensitive to cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and that the initial peak and oscillatory components are contaminated by Ca2+-activated Cl− currents. Under conditions of [Ca2+]i buffered to 100 nM, the mIcat response to cumulative carbachol applications was inhibited competitively by an M2-selective antagonist but non-competitively by an M3-selective one. Also it was severely reduced by pertussis toxin (PTX) treatment or a phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor. Comparative analysis of mIcat in mouse and guinea-pig intestinal myocytes indicated that the underlying channels resemble between those myocytes in agonist sensitivity, current-voltage relationship, and unitary conductance. The results suggest that in mouse intestinal myocytes, mIcat arises mainly via an M2/M3 synergistic mechanism involving PTX-sensitive G-proteins and PLC activity in the absence of current modulation by [Ca2+]i changes, as described for guinea-pig ileal mIcat. The channels underlying mIcat are also indistinguishable in gating properties between both types of myocytes.

The Dos and Don'ts of B2B Content Reuse
Savvy B2B Marketing
One trend in B2B marketing is repurposing content. For instance, you can make your eBook into a podcast, a series of blog posts, an article, etc. Content reuse is a great idea because effective content is time-consuming to produce, and you want to extend its reach as much as possible. some people prefer tex while others prefer audio or video). again and again.

The real reason why Telemarketing is coming out on top
B2B Marketing Online
Guest blog by Geoff Thomas, managing director, Integrity Business Connections. What's the real reason telemarketing, or appointment arranging, works? Here's the intellectual reason. During the recession I've noticed some companies have been forced to find another angle to reach their audience and gain new business. Direct marketing has been pushed down the list because of cost, public relations has also been dropped as there was no guarantee that the business would see an instant ROI. So what marketing campaigns are worth pursuing? Building trust has got to be top of the list.

How to build emotional engagement in B2B marketing
Chris Koch
I got a really interesting question last week through my Skribit box: How do you use emotional engagement when talking about dry technology?

What B2B Publishers Don't Get: You Can't Own the Conversation
B2B Memes
Although there may be a few exceptions, Stephen Saunders got it right this week when he wrote on Folio: 's web site that most B2B publishers are miserable failures at social networking. He argues that you can't build and maintain an online business community unless you produce lots of your own content to support it. There's some truth to that, as I'll suggest. But he omits the bigger point. B2B networks usually fail because publishers expect to control them. Publishers have a product focus, and to them, a social network is just another product. It's quite simple.

B2B Memes
For B2B companies embracing their new role as publishers, the content marketing community has produced a huge archive of valuable advice. There is at least one topic, however, that is rarely discussed: the legal risks and responsibilities of publishing. The silence is understandable. Most of the time, the kind of publishing that content marketers do isn't very risky. But that doesn't mean there's no risk, and the more publishing you do, the more likely you are to encounter that one-in-a-hundred legal issue. So you may want to think about this sooner rather than later.

Market leaders follow the signs. Leaders are always on the alert for Signs of shifting markets. When they sense a subtle shift in their audiences or their own value, they respond and keep moving forward. When there's a sign of a major shift, they throw their status quo beliefs to the wind, focus forward—and adapt. Many point to Apple and Google and Amazon as innovators who follow the signs. But there are so many more great companies out there. Here are three of my favorite leaders who follow the Signs. NU SKIN: NuSkin is growing in a bad economy. Why? And they work.

Sydney sink Victory to stay unbeaten in AL
Sydney FC have continued their sensational unbeaten start to the A-League season as David Carney scored a brace to send Melbourne Victory packing 2-1 in a thrilling, spiteful Big Blue.
The Sky Blues rode their luck throughout a tricky first half at Allianz Stadium on Saturday then came from a goal down to stick the knife in and claim their first win against Victory in 10 meetings.
The result leaves the Sky Blues with five wins from five games this season and five points clear at the top of the table - though it wasn't always clear-cut.
Sydney conceded their first goal of this campaign when Mitch Austin put Victory in front on 41 minutes.
It was a deserved goal for the left-winger, who played the role of creator all night and ran Sydney right-back Rhyan Grant ragged.
Yet it should have come much earlier in an incredibly lucky first half for the hosts, during which Besart Berisha had a goal disallowed and missed a penalty, while captain Alex Brosque could well have been sent off for his heavy challenge on Leigh Broxham.
Sandwiched in between, Marco Rojas missed a sitter with Sydney goalkeeper Danny Vukovic erroneously off his line and an empty net beckoning.
Austin, who delivered Rojas the cross, was also provider of a lovely through ball to Berisha in the opening minutes, but the offside flag was raised moments after the Albanian striker chipped into the net.
Berisha was then the recipient of wild jeers from 19,143 mostly Sydney fans for his shocking attempt at a penalty.
The shot skewed high and left of goal, forcing a wry smile from him and a taunt from Filip Holosko, the man who had fouled him in the box.
Despite the catalogue of close calls and chances at both ends, Sydney had a slight upper hand, with Serbian playmaker Milos Ninkovic applying pressure and Josh Brillante narrowly missing a long-range bullet.
Graham Arnold clearly wasn't happy though and the coach traded barbs with his Victory counterpart Kevin Muscat, who was given a warning by referee Chris Beath as tensions boiled over.
Tempers flared on the field too as substitute Matt Simon got rough with James Donachie and Michael Zullo suffered a nasty collision with a pitchside table.
Amid the drama, Arnold made the big call of replacing marquee man Holosko with veteran Carney on the hour mark - and it proved a masterstroke.
The former Socceroo struck just four minutes into his introduction, appearing to handle Brosque's ball in the box before stabbing home with his left foot.
Then, on the 78th minute, Grant cut the ball back to Carney for his clinical left boot to prod home again.
Muscat said Carney's first goal was a definite handball.
"We can't do anything about it now, but people say there was a change to the outcome of the game - well, it's a goal," Muscat said.
"But we've got to learn from that as well because they get in behind us from a throw-in, so we've got to take some responsibility.
"But we're just asking, in my opinion, for the referee to see those decisions or those outcomes."
Arnold was pleased with his team's "fantastic" comeback, having implored them at halftime to revert to their possession-based game.
"We didn't play our way in the first half," Arnold said.
"We wanted to get more involved in the fight and tried to get in behind them too quick."

- Get information on how you can raise awareness about domestic violence, what you can do to support change, and give back to the cause
- Stay connected to NCADV and our efforts with education, programming, and public policy
We are the catalyst for changing society to have zero tolerance for domestic violence.
We do this by affecting public policy, increasing understanding of the impact of domestic violence, and providing programs and education that drive that change.
Learn More
Domestic violence is the willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault, and/or other abusive behavior as part of a systematic pattern of power and control perpetrated by one intimate partner against another. Read the statistics and facts, get help if you or someone you love needs it, or check out other available resources and organizations.
Get Involved
Raise awareness among others of domestic violence, the voices of survivors, and remember those who were killed by their abuser. Volunteer or partner with NCADV or your state coalition.
