Doing business online can indeed be a hard nut to crack. This is when one intends to come up with a successful marketing strategy for the attraction of huge traffic and also in promoting products and services. This is why one needs to look for a qualified marketing consultant whose experience will bring huge benefits to the business. Here are some of the guidelines that one can use as a road map for finding the best services.
Defining and coming up with the objectives and goals for the entire strategy and business is one of the major requirements. This involves carefully considering the importance of the incorporation of marketing strategies such as search engine optimization and social media. One also needs to elaborately outline the focus of the strategy to know whether it is meant for attracting traffic to the site or for the promotion of the products. Proper goal definition is quite crucial because this is what helps one in finding the most appropriate consultant.
Launching a search for the consultants online should be the next step since this is where one is likely to find the most competitive consultants. One should get online and embark on finding consultants that are possibly within close proximity to where one lives. This is important as it makes it possible to carry out a background check to ensure the credibility of the business.
The best procedure for making this a success is to look out for several consultancies to sample their services before deciding on which one to select. This is something that will call for having an elaborate search and having good knowledge of the services as well as the rates. One is advised to avoid rushing fro the services of consultants that bid too low because this only serves to show how nondescript their services are.
The best thing is to enlist the services of consultants who use ethical techniques in marketing themselves. Also go for consultant who have a cleat strategy on how to carry out their work and can be able to successfully cope with competition. This helps in putting trust on the experience and professionalism of the consultants one is going to work with.
Going through the laid out objectives and goals is sometimes necessary even after one has consulted the available service providers. The reason for this is because fresh insights might arise in the process and be of great value if they are included in the marketing strategy.
Seeking the services of a consultant in the execution of a marketing strategy is indeed an investment therefore, one needs to take into account the budget for this. The rates will always vary across the consultants depending on the services but what creates a huge difference on the rates is whether one seeks to use an individual consultant or a firm.
After taking a thorough overview the goals and objectives, one then needs to look keenly on all the consultants that have been approached. One should at this point investigate whether the consultants are in a position to execute the strategy in the desired manner and according to the client's needs. It is however, good to note that specialized consultants are also available and can really make the work easier to accomplish.

BeaverBlitz caught up with Brevin White while he was in Tennessee visiting campuses, but the four-star quarterback with double-digit offers was impressed with what he saw in Corvallis. Former Beaver wide receiver coach Brent Brennan originally offered White for Oregon State, but with Brennan's departure, White was excited to meet and begin building a relationship with Coach Andersen and quarterback coach Kevin McGiven.
"Oregon State was a very, very awesome visit," he said. "I really didn't know what to expect as I've never been on campus before, but the visit was great and I enjoyed it very much. It left a big impression, from the campus environment to the facilities."
What stood out the most to White?
"Meeting with Coach McGiven and Coach Andersen," he said. "I loved meeting with them and seeing the team. Meeting Coach Andersen gave me a better idea of the program and where it is going. He is an encouraging individual and I got to know him and who he is on a more personal level, not just him as a football coach. It was nice to really start to build a relationship with him."
White and his family also visited Oregon where he focused on meeting Coach Taggert and Coach Arroyo. Not surprisingly, White said that the facilities stood out in Eugene.
"The facilities are unreal," he laughed. "There are no words."
With so many unknowns coming into his Oregon State visit, did the Beavers make a big enough impression to stay in the running?
"Yes, 100%," White said. "Everyone is still in the running, but OSU did make enough of an impression and they're around the top for sure."
BeaverBlitz will continue to follow White's recruitment and keep you updated on new offers or visits that he plans.

Buddy Systems
Just because it is getting colder doesn't mean that your children will be less inclined to play outside. Much of the time, it will be even more tempting, especially if snow is a possibility. When allowing your children to play outside or with other children, be sure to have some kind of buddy system in place. Using this kind of system, you can ensure that there is always someone who has their eye on your child. The last thing you want is to not be able to let them outside to play, so this is your best option most of the time. The best buddy systems also have a secret password. That way, you can be sure of your child's safety at all times, no matter what. If your children are under eight, you should make sure that they are always supervised, regardless.
The Right Clothing
It goes without saying that clothing is always going to be a major concern when it gets to winter. Of course, one of your main tasks here is to ensure that nobody gets a chill. Keeping your kids warm can be surprisingly difficult, however. Most of all, it is about ensuring that there is plenty to layer with. Layering is the best way to make sure that your children stay warm. Of course, you should also invest in at least one good quality, thick coat for the dead of winter. But it is not just about when they are outside. You also need to ensure they are kept warm inside, particularly at night. Finding the right kids pyjamas is going to be an important part of that. Add to that slippers and possibly a hat, and they should be set. The general test for whether your child is sufficiently warm is that their hands and feet are warm. If they are, then what they are wearing is probably absolutely fine. Anything less, and you need to add another layer or two. Clothing is really important, as it can be easy for young children to get quite ill from the cold quite fast.

Safety Kit For The Car
Just because it's the winter months doesn't mean you need to stop going out and having fun with your family. A great way to pass the time over a weekend or longer is to go on a road trip with the family. Of course, if you do that, you need to ensure that you properly protect the whole family. It helps in these situations to keep a safety kit in the car, for use if the worst happens. In this kit, you should have anything you might need if you break down in the snow or ice. A shovel is going to be one of your main items of importance here, for obvious reasons. It is also beneficial to have sand in the car, as this can help if the car gets stuck anywhere. Tyre chains can be a useful addition, as they can stop the car from skidding around uncontrollably. And no safety kit would be complete without an ice scraper and a flashlight. As long as you have these essentials in your car, it shouldn't matter too much what happens. Also be sure to have extra layers for warmth. In the worst case scenario, you will at least be warm enough, and so will your children.
|Pic source
Finally, a note on sunscreen. This might seem a little odd, and yet that is the very reason that it needs to be mentioned. People often entirely forget about sunscreen at this time of year. However, the fact is that the sun reflects off the snow and can actually be incredibly damaging, particularly for young skin. Make sure your children are wearing sunscreen if they play in the snow for a long time.

While slouching against a wall in a former cigarette factory in the industrial outskirts of The Hague one day last month, I was visited with the sudden realization that over the formative centuries of European history the two words that most succinctly signaled "other," "foreign" or "enemy" were these: "Jew" and "Turk." Crudely unpacking them, "Turk" meant Muslim, Arab, infidel, the threat from without; a Jew was the enemy within, someone who, even if born and raised in your hometown, was part of another political as well as religious entity; the Jews of a city were referred to not as a community but as "the Jewish nation." "Jew" and "Turk" were in fact constructs Europeans used to help define their own identity: that which we are not.
What brought this to mind was the scene in front of me. The Labor Party in the Netherlands — which several weeks ago emerged from the endless gray muddle of the country's multiparty system to take the lead in polls as the nation approaches an election on June 9 — was unveiling its candidates. On a makeshift stage, before banners bearing the party's logo of a fist inside a rose, stood two people. At the top of the list of candidates — the man responsible for the recent shake-up of Dutch politics, who is making some people in Europe begin to wonder whether he represents a way for mainstream parties on the Continent to successfully combat the swelling tide of populist, anti-immigrant voices — was Job Cohen, who until March was the mayor of Amsterdam. Cohen was raised in a secular Jewish household in the hamlet of Heemstede, not far from Amsterdam; his parents spent World War II in hiding from the Nazis; his paternal grandparents died at Bergen-Belsen. At Cohen's side, No. 2 on the candidate list, was Nebahat Albayrak, who was born in the central Anatolian region of Turkey and moved as a child to Rotterdam, where her father worked as a scaffold builder.Read Full Article »

Borrowing a suggestion from Triple on a different thread — Conservatives should announce that they are voting for Allen West. If the GOP rallies behind that, then we get a real Conservative speaker. If the GOP does not rally behind that, then Nancy Pelosi becomes Speaker. Let Boehner choose.
I thought the speaker had to be a sitting member of the House.
Lets take this idea far and wide...
West for speaker - or you get Pelosi. Yes - it is hardball.
Boehner started it with a purge of conservatives from committees.
Conservatives need to flex and exercise their muscles.
Now is the time!

Kenmore woman killed in 'mudding' off-road accident
A 42-year-old Kenmore woman was killed early Sunday in an off-road accident as she and her companions tried to free a Jeep that had gotten stuck while they were "mudding" in the town of Eagle, the Wyoming County Sheriff's Office reported today.
Deputies and medics were called to the woods off of Horton Road about 3:30 a.m. The 911 caller said that Sherrie Green was breathing but unresponsive and that friends were taking her to the roadway.
Investigators determined that Green and a group of friends had been off-roading on private property in three Jeeps when one of the vehicles got stuck in deep mud. The friends got out and were trying to free the vehicle with a winch when one of the Jeeps hit Green, deputies said. She was rushed to Wyoming County Community Hospital where she died a short time later.
Deputies said there were no signs of a crime and no charges are anticipated at this time.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
child is graduating from High school this month and is still living with mother but not going to go to college and she is working a part time job.
when can I stop paying child support on her?
You'll want to speak with an attorney in your county since the answer to your question will depend on the specific facts of your case. There is not enough information in your question to give a specific answer, so this answer is aimed as general education.
You'll want to speak with an attorney because he or she can guide you through the process to obtain a new order concerning support or modification of an existing order concerning support.
You won't want to take any action before obtaining an order from the court to protect yourself. If you stop paying child support without a court order allowing you to do so, you could end up in serious trouble with the court.
Here's the Indiana Code section that applies to your question:
Termination or modification of child support; emancipation of child
Sec. 6. (a) The duty to support a child under this chapter ceases when the child becomes twenty-one (21) years of age unless any of the following conditions occurs:
(1) The child is emancipated before becoming twenty-one (21) years of age. In this case the child support, except for the educational needs outlined in section 2(a)(1) of this chapter, terminates at the time of emancipation, although an order for educational needs may continue in effect until further order of the court.
(2) The child is incapacitated. In this case the child support
continues during the incapacity or until further order of the court.
(3) The child:
(A) is at least eighteen (18) years of age;
(B) has not attended a secondary school or postsecondary educational institution for the prior four (4) months and is not enrolled in a secondary school or postsecondary educational institution; and
(C) is or is capable of supporting himself or herself through employment.
In this case the child support terminates upon the court's finding that the conditions prescribed in this subdivision exist. However, if the court finds that the conditions set forth in clauses (A) through (C) are met but that the child is only partially supporting or is capable of only partially supporting himself or herself, the court may order that support be modified instead of terminated.
(b) For purposes of determining if a child is emancipated under subsection (a)(1), if the court finds that the child:
(1) has joined the United States armed services;
(2) has married; or
(3) is not under the care or control of:
(A) either parent; or
(B) an individual or agency approved by the court;
the court shall find the child emancipated and terminate the child support.
As added by P.L.1-1997, SEC.8. Amended by P.L.2-2007, SEC.362.

STAT3 mediates cytokine and growth factor receptor signalling, becoming transcriptionally active upon tyrosine 705 phosphorylation (Y-P). Constitutively Y-P STAT3 is observed in many tumors that become addicted to its activity, and STAT3 transcriptional activation is required for tumor transformation downstream of several oncogenes. We have recently demonstrated that constitutively active STAT3 drives a metabolic switch towards aerobic glycolysis through the transcriptional induction of
The transcription factor Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3) is activated downstream of many cytokine and growth factor receptors, resulting in tyrosine phosphorylation, dimerization via reciprocal phosphotyrosine-src homology (SH)-2 interactions and translocation to the nucleus, where it binds to responsive elements on gene promoters. STAT3 can also be phosphorylated on serine residue 727 (S-P) within its carboxyl-terminal Transcription Activation Domain [
STAT3 target genes and functions vary depending on the cellular system, but in most instances correlate with cell survival and proliferation. Under physiological conditions, STAT3 activation is transient and tightly regulated by negative feedback mechanisms mediated, among others, by suppressor of cytokine signal (SOCS) and protein inhibitor of activated STAT (PIAS) proteins [
In tumors, STAT3 is known to exert a number of well established functions correlating to transcriptional activation of its target genes, including regulation of cell-cycle progression, apoptosis, tumor angiogenesis, invasion, metastasis, and tumor cell evasion from the immune system, reflecting the involvement of this factor in multiple steps of the oncogenic program [
Aberrant regulation of cell metabolism plays a central role in deterring the survival and growth features of malignant cells. For example, most tumor cells display a metabolic switch towards aerobic glycolysis, with increased glycolysis and decreased oxidative phosphorylation, even under conditions of high oxygen tension [
First, STAT3 was shown to localize to mitochondria, where its S-P form enhances coupled Complex I and II activity and reduces ROS production, while inducing aerobic glycolysis [
Y-P STAT3 was also recently shown to play important roles in regulating energy metabolism. Indeed, we have demonstrated that constitutively Y-P STAT3 can promote aerobic glycolysis and down-regulate mitochondrial activity, partly acting via transcriptional induction of its well-recognized transcriptional target
Protein acetylation, a crucial post-translational modification that affects gene expression by modulating both chromatin structure and the activity of many transcription factors, is a key factor in regulating proliferation and energy metabolism in both normal and transformed cells [
Interestingly, STAT3 was recently shown to play a role in the regulation of the autophagic pathway, another important metabolic process that has been implicated both positively and negatively in tumorigenesis [
STAT3 appears to function as a hub to integrate different pro-survival and growth signals at the level of the energy and respiratory metabolism, via nuclear, mitochondrial and cytoplasmic activities mediated by its differentially modified forms [
Mice homozygous for the
These features reflect the known activities of STAT3, promoting cell survival and proliferation, and suggest that low levels of constitutively active STAT3 can promote pre-oncogenic features in primary MEF cells.
Primary (
A comparison of gene expression profiles in primary
The relevance of this novel metabolic STAT3 function in supporting the viability of tumor cells was also confirmed
Transcriptional induction is normally not believed sufficient to enhance HIF-1α expression at the protein level, due to its continuous proteasome-mediated degradation occurring in the absence of specific signals such as hypoxia or growth factors stimulation [
Despite a well-accepted pro-tumorigenic role, STAT3 activity has also been correlated with good prognosis in specific tumors [
In addition to enhanced aerobic glycolysis, tumor cells that have undergone the Warburg effect also display decreased oxidative respiration in mitochondria, which is partly the consequence of deviating pyruvate towards glycolysis and may contribute to down-regulate ROS production and counteract senescence [
Importantly, and in contrast to what observed for glycolysis, the reduced mitochondrial activity observed in primary MEFs was independent from HIF activity, as shown by the failure of
In contrast to primary cells, in immortalized MEFs
Decreased mitochondrial activity of primary (
Taken together, these data suggest that constitutively active STAT3, observed downstream of continuous stimulation by inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 and oncogenes, promotes a Warburg-like metabolic switch via two distinct nuclear mechanisms (
Constitutively active STAT3 regulates mRNA expression of metabolic genes. Y-P STAT3 is the downstream effector of several oncogenic signals. Constitutively activated STAT3 translocates into the nucleus where it induces aerobic glycolysis through (i) the up-regulation of HIF-1α, which in turn mediates the induction of several mRNA involved in glycolysis; and (ii) the down-regulation of mitochondrial genes and of ETC-complexes, leading to reduced mitochondrial activity. The heatmaps display the mean log2 fold change of signal intensity between
Despite the decreased expression of about 500 mitochondrial genes and the normal mitochondrial morphology [
Similar to primary cells, spontaneously immortalized
In contrast to primary MEFs, which require two oncogenic hits to become transformed, MEFs spontaneously immortalized via the 3T3 protocol [
Thus, there are many mechanism(s) through which constitutively active STAT3 sensitizes cells to tumorigenic transformation, belonging to classical well described functions as well as to the novel metabolic role that we have recently described. A prominent feature is no doubt played by the resistance to programmed cell death in response to many different apoptotic stimuli. This is a well-known function of STAT3, triggered also in our system by the transcriptional induction of anti-apoptotic genes as well as by the reduced mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake [
STAT3 constitutive activation is featured by many types of tumors, and mainly occurs downstream of the activation of several different oncogenic pathways [
STAT3 can be localized in the mitochondrial matrix, in the nucleus and in the cytoplasm, according to specific post-transcriptional modifications triggered by different upstream stimuli. Many oncogenic and inflammatory signals mainly induce Y-P STAT3 nuclear functions that, in addition to known canonical functions, mediate the induction of
A deeper understanding of the interplay between the differentially phosphorylated forms of STAT3 and their relative sub-cellular distribution under specific pathological conditions and in different tumor types may help designing function-specific inhibitors that may be tested as targeted therapeutic approaches.

The carnival of Viareggio (Italian: carnevale di Viareggio) is a carnival event yearly held in the Tuscan city of Viareggio, in Italy. It is considered amongst the most renowned carnival celebrations in both Italy and Europe.
Its main characteristic is given by the parade of floats and masks, usually made of paper-pulp, depicting caricatures of popular people, such as politicians, showmen and sportsmen; the parade is held on the Viareggio avenue located alongside the local beach.
The first Viareggio carnival parade was held in 1873, when some wealthy middle-class men decided to organize a parade of floats adorned with flowers; a number of local citizens, as a sign of protest, then decided to put on masks in order to show their refusal of high taxes they were forced to pay. The first float to win the parade, in 1883, was named I Quattro Mori (The Four Moors), an accurately representation of the homonymous Livorno statue. The carnival continued to gain popularity within the years, and in 1949 a football youth tournament, called Torneo di Viareggio, was first organized as a collateral manifestation.
The official mascot of the Viareggio carnival is the burlamacco, first depicted in 1931 by Uberto Bonetti. Since 2001, all the floats are built in an apposite seat, called cittadella del Carnevale (Carnival citadel), located on the northern side of the Viareggio city territory.

Norway is divided into a number of traditional districts. Many districts have deep historical roots, and only partially coincide with today's administrative units of counties and municipalities. The districts are defined by geographical features, often valleys, mountain ranges, fjords, plains, or coastlines, or combinations of the above. Many such regions were petty kingdoms up to the early Viking age.
Regional identityEdit
A high percentage of Norwegians identify themselves more by the district they live in or come from, than the formal administrative unit(s) whose jurisdiction they fall under. A significant reason for this is that the districts, through their strong geographical limits, have traditionally delineated the region(s) within which one could travel without too much trouble or expenditure of time and money (here we're talking of traveling on foot or skis, by horse/ox-drawn cart or sleigh or dog sled, or by one's own small rowing or sail boat). Thus, dialects and regional commonality in folk culture tended to correspond to those same geographical units, despite any division into administrative districts by authorities.
In modern times the whole country has become more closely connected, based on the following:
- Communication technologies such as telegraph, newspapers, telephone, radio and TV. In particular Televerket and NRK.
- The construction of mountain crossings, tunnels through mountains, bridges, undersea tunnels; many of these projects, particularly the larger bridges and the undersea tunnels, were undertaken as late as the 1970s forward.
- Establishing a coastal express route of combined passenger and cargo ships, like the Hurtigruten, sailing regularly from Bergen to Kirkenes and back again, and stopping by at a host of cities and towns along the western and northern coast.
- The construction of railroads between distant parts of the country.
- The opening of dozens of new airports all over the country through the 1960s and 70s.
- The release of private cars from government rationing and import restrictions from the 1950s onwards.
A concrete display of the Norwegian habit of identifying themselves by district can be seen in the many regional costumes, called bunad, strictly connected to distinct districts across the country. Commonly, even city dwellers proudly mark their rural origins by wearing such a costume, from their ancestral landscape, at weddings, visits with members of the royal family, constitution day (May 17), and other ceremonial occasions.

|RE: Java Bean Scope questions (a lengthy one) [getting desperate]
|Thu, 09 Jan 2003 20:59:38 GMT
Ok, I'm sorry for beating a dead horse, but I am completely at a loss and I am starting to get concerned that I won't get this to work. As suggested I changed the scope of my bean to session. This caused some problems that if not resolved my webapp will not work. The code that I use for setting a select field to the display the selected option if it is valid, or repopulating the list no longer works since changing the scope to session. This has caused me to end up in a never ending loop for the form Retry because these select fields are never valid. For example one of my select fields is for the user to select their state. My HTML form (served through Tomcat although all other HTML pages are served through Apache) uses the long hand <select> tag where I list each state individually. My bean contains an array of state abbreviations and state names ( all one array in the format "NY","New York","MA", "Massachussetts","AL","Alabama"...). In Retry.jsp I have the following code: <jsp:useBean name="formBean" class="com.complusdata.beans.FormBean" scope="session"/> ........... <select name="state" size="1"> <% if (!formBean.hasStateError()) { %> <option value="<%=formBean.getState()%>" selected><%=formBean.getStateName()%></option> <% } else { %> <option value="" selected><b>--Please select your state--</b></option> <% while(formBean.hasMoreStates()) { %> <option value=<%= formBean.getStateList()%>><%= formBean.getStateList()%></option> <% } } %> </select> .......... Relevant methods in FormBean: public boolean hasStateError() { if (state.equals("")) return true; else return false; } public boolean hasMoreStates() { if (sindex < stateArray.length) return true; else return false; } public String getState() { return state; } public String getStateName() { int z; for (z=0; z<stateArray.length-1; z=z+2) { if (stateArray[z].equals(state)) return stateArray[z+1]; } return state; } //int sindex=-1; declared at beginning of class public String getStateList() { sindex++; String stemp = stateArray[sindex]; return stemp; } My form calls CCProcess which instantiates an instance of FormBean which attempts to validate the form. Now since I changed the scope if I test leaving the select list without a state selected, this causes a problem. After the first retry, my select lists are populated. Any time after that, it defaults to the "Please select your State" but it does not populate the list - it is taking this as the "State" which is obviously not valid, and reason for the loop. I also ran a test where I left the state blank of the first try, and the select list was populated. I selected a state then hit submit again (with other errors on the form) and the bean did not save the state of my selection and the list did not populate. If anyone can offer any help I would appreciate it. Perhaps give me a clue if there is something wrong with my code, or maybe some code someone is currently using to serve the same purpose. The thing is, I really don't think its my code because it does work when the scope of the bean is request. Thanks in advance.

Miranda Warning (A Murder in the Mountains Book 1)
Child of the Appalachian mountains, Tess Spencer has experienced more than her share of heartache. The Glock-wielding, knife-carrying housewife knows how to survive whatever life throws at her.
But when an anonymous warning note shows up in her best friend Miranda's mailbox—a note written in a dead woman's handwriting—Tess quickly discovers that ghosts are alive and well in Buckneck, West Virginia. Hot on a cold trail, she must use limited clues and her keen insight into human nature to unmask the killer…or the next victim might be Tess herself.
Tinged with the supernatural and overshadowed by the mountains' lush, protective presence, this twisting psychological mystery is the first in A Murder in the Mountains series.
This novel is written from a Christian worldview.
"Miranda Warning is a captivating read that grabs you by the hand and jerks you along…An intricately woven plot kept revealing bits of the puzzle while continuing to build the suspense and danger. Thomas and Tess were perfect for each other; the author certainly captured the realism of marriage,the good and bad…it was endearing to see how the entire Spencer family interacted. Miranda Warning was a page-turner for me, and I can only hope Heather Day Gilbert is working on the next installment in the Murder in the Mountains Series." ~ 5 Star Review from Brenda Casto for Readers' Favorite, Aug. 2014
"Tess Spencer will make you fall in love with her, then push you away, then charm you back into love again. She's got a past she'd like to forget, a future she's still learning to embrace, and a few skeletons–er, ghosts–in her closet, but when those she loves are in jeopardy, watch out! This West Virginian, Glock-wielding mountain mama goes all Mama Bear! Deliciously creepy mystery, well-rounded cast, delightful small town setting. Can't wait for Book Two!" ~ Becky Doughty, author of Waters Fall
"The perfect blend of spine-chilling suspense and cozy mountain mystery, Miranda Warning is that rare novel that has it all: a unique setting, rich characters, and a plot so riveting you can't look away. Best of all, it has Tess Spencer, a tough young heroine with a tender heart for those she loves and sense enough to pack a Glock when she needs to." ~ Karin Kaufman, author of The Witch Tree, a 2011 Grace Award finalist

Thetford town councillor Stuart Wright, 42, is aiming to raise £20,000 to fund the statue of the fictional Home Guard captain and bank manager.
It would stand near a monument to Thomas Paine, whose writings set the foundations of democratic government.
Mr Wright said: "The series was filmed around Thetford and I am a great fan."
Captain Mainwaring was played by actor Arthur Lowe in the series which ran on BBC television from 1968 to 1977.
'Seated statue'
It was set in fictional Walmington-on-Sea, which was said to be based in Sussex, but the series was filmed in the area around Thetford.
The fundraising campaign will begin next week when a new exhibition dedicated to the Dad's Army series, the Home Guard and Thetford in World War II, opens in the town's Guildhall.
Mr Wright said: "We want a seated statue to stand on a grassed area just off Bridge Street close to the Bell and Anchor hotels where the stars and crews of the series stayed while they were filming.
"I have been a great fan of the programme since I was a child and was asked by the Dad's Army Appreciation Society to become a guide for tours which come to the town."
Mr Wright is a part-time house husband, chartered accountant, civic society member and town councillor who is keen to bring more tourists to the town - 30 coach loads of Dad's Army fans have visited this year.
He said: "We have had a collection of pictures from the series for some time and were looking for a place to display them.
"After being offered a place in the Guildhall we collected other items and the exhibition began to expand so we could cover the Home Guard and the war years.
"The exhibition will be launched on Friday when the town's Christmas lights are turned on and we hope to open it for tours and local people regularly if we can get volunteers.
"The basement in the Guildhall is ideal for the exhibition because two episodes of the series were filmed there," Mr Wright said.

Tracey Beckerman from Lost in Suburbia won't review products or accept sponsored content. Reaching 10 million readers a month, Tracey earns her living from writing a syndicated column and selling her book. Blogging is purely a channel for her writing. She strongly advocates staking out your brand and sticking to your values, although agrees it's hard for moms to make a living out of their tireless efforts, becoming easy targets to be seduced by brands and their perks.A different approach is Momfluential blogger Ciaran Blumenfeld, who partners with brands, but sees her blog as a door opener for much greater business opportunities. After blogging for 7 years, Ciaran recently secured her own TV show with Nickelodeon that will air soon. Success can also be found with Sarah Roe. Sarah began seriously couponing when her oldest son was diagnosed with life-threatening food allergies 6 years ago and their family could no longer sustain the grocery bills. Her blog Money Saving Queen now supports her family, with Sarah working a solid 60 hour week whilst employing a team of 6 people. Sarah generates revenue through affiliates, advertising, speaking at conferences and teaching others to coupon through a workshop series. The last 2 years has seen an exponential increase in brands activating their social media footprint. Brands Sargento and Minute Clinic admit they are learning as they're going, which is a smart way to approach this fast paced channel. Both brands rely on their close relationships with agencies to help navigate their way. Barbara Gannon, VP of Corporate Communications says "When you need to adapt quickly, working with an agency who is handling social media for multiple clients can fast track the learning process".

The Emergence Of Orwellian Newspeak And The Death Of Free Speech
If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none. Let him forget there is such a thing as war. If the government is inefficient, top-heavy, and tax-mad, better it be all those than that people worry over it…. Give the people contests they win by remembering the words to more popular songs or the names of state capitals or how much corn Iowa grew last year. Cram them full of noncombustible data, chock them so damned full of 'facts' they feel stuffed, but absolutely 'brilliant' with information. Then they'll feel they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving. And they'll be happy, because facts of that sort don't change. - Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451
How do you change the way people think? You start by changing the words they use.
In totalitarian regimes—a.k.a. police states—where conformity and compliance are enforced at the end of a loaded gun, the government dictates what words can and cannot be used. In countries where the police state hides behind a benevolent mask and disguises itself as tolerance, the citizens censor themselves, policing their words and thoughts to conform to the dictates of the mass mind.

We caught up with him while he was over in London recently, to talk about why he chose to launch in the UK before the US or China, what political and technical challenges he faced, and what impact AdECN might have on the overall ad market.
Big brands not doing the business on eBay
Several big brands including Orange, B&Q and 3 seem to have been underperforming on eBay recently, posing questions about the effectiveness of their stores on the auctioning site.
The companies have been using eBay to sell surplus or reconditioned stock - items that can no longer be sold to high street customers but have huge appeal to bargain hunters.
US shoppers happier in online stores
Customer satisfaction with e-commerce sites improved for the second year in a row, according to the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) released by the University of Michigan.
Online retail achieved a score of 83 on ACSI's 100 point scale, while offline retailers scored 74.4. The survey was carried out in conjunction with ForeSee Results.
Wrigley's lauches Wii adver-games
Chewing gum maker Wrigley has launched a digital marketing campaign with a difference, rolling out a series of games on Nintendo's Wii games machine.
The company opened its CandyStand mini-games portal on the console's Internet Channel.
First launched in 1997, it includes a selection of brand-laden games like Altoids Sheep and The Great Flying Mintini. Availability on the Wii means players will be able to use Nintendo's innovative wiimote controller to interact with the features.
Visual shopping from BrowseGoods
BrowseGoods.com is a new site from US startup Dotted Pair, which aims to create a visual shopping experience. The site was launched in beta last week.
Rather than displaying the first ten product listings, and asking the user to click 'next' to see the rest, BrowseGoods attempts to recreate the in-store shopping experience by freely allowing you to browse hundreds of items at once.
OpenID gains with Digg adoption
Social news bookmarking site Digg will adopt the increasingly popular OpenID passwords framework amongst a raft of new features.
Founder Kevin Rose announced at the Future of Web Apps (FoWA) conference in London yesterday that similar announcements this year from Microsoft, Yahoo! and AOL had hastened the site's move.
Multi-channel retailing has finally arrived
This is a controversial thing to say, but e-commerce hasn't been a great experience so far for most major retailers.
Despite significant investment, many are left with businesses that generate no more than 5% of their total sales – and somewhat less than their fair share of profit.
Viacom close to licensing deal with Joost
Joost, the P2P internet TV service, is said to be close to securing a content deal with Viacom, the parent company of MTV and Comedy Central.
Two weeks ago, Viacom demanded the removal of 100,000 of its clips from YouTube, after failing to reach an agreement with the video sharing site over use of its content.

Dayshawn Reynolds can leap over a defender to catch a touchdown pass.
On the basketball court, he can steal the ball, dribble the length of the court and bring the crowd to its feet with an acrobatic dunk.
The 6-foot-1, 181-pound Atlantic City High School senior is one of the region's top athletes.
He starts for the Vikings boys basketball team that won the state Group IV title last season and is 14-1 this season. Reynolds averages 8.9 points but is one of the state's best defensive players.
Reynolds this week verbally committed to play football at Temple University. He played wide receiver and defensive back last fall, catching 10 touchdown passes.
This weekend, Reynolds will lead the Vikings into the Battle by the Bay, a showcase basketball event at Atlantic City that features some of the state's top teams.
Atlantic City will meet St. Augustine Prep at 7:30 p.m. today and play its annual game against Pleasantville on Sunday at 1:30 p.m.
Reynolds lives in the Bungalow Park section of Atlantic City. He comes from an athletic family. His uncle Jamar Reynolds led the Vikings to the 1999 South Jersey Group IV football championship. His cousin Keyshawn Reynolds graduated Atlantic City last spring and played both football and basketball for the Vikings.
Dayshawn Reynolds is the oldest in his family. His three brothers range in age from 2-15.
In a telephone interview Tuesday, Reynolds spoke about a number of topics, including playing in the Battle by the Bay and how he started playing football and basketball.
On being an older brother: I don't feel any pressure being the oldest, but I want to set a good example. I want them to know if they're following me they'll be going in the right direction. There's way more to (life) than just being around the streets.
On how he started playing sports: I started playing football for the (Atlantic City Dolphins of the Atlantic C7ounty Junior Football League) when I was 6 years old. Football was my favorite sport until basketball came into play. I didn't start playing basketball until the sixth grade. I just started playing for fun in the neighborhood. I would go to the court by myself and just shoot around, and I started liking it.
On choosing to play football over basketball in college: I don't like either sport better than the other one, but I'm really comfortable with football.
On why the Reynolds family has so many talented athletes and how close the family is: There's no secret (to the talent). It's just a blessing. We're a close family. We all get along. We see each other almost every day
On playing in the Battle by the Bay against Pleasantville: It's fun. Everybody from (Pleasantville and Atlantic City) comes out to watch the game and give their support.
On growing up in Atlantic City and the best part of the city: It's a good experience. The Boardwalk is the best part. I'm not a really beach guy, so I wouldn't say the beach.
On what he does to relax: I just hang with the guys. We watch the games or play video games. My favorite game is "Madden." I do not like playing "NBA2K." I'm not good at it. I'm good at "Madden." I play the Eagles.

wikiHow to Make a Power Rangers Outfit
Become a Mighty Morphin Power Ranger for parties and Halloween.
1Firstly you need to make the helmet. Get an average everyday balloon and blow it up to a size just larger than your head.
2Now cover the balloon in papier-mâché, leaving a hole in the middle for your eyes (visor).Cover the balloon in at least 4 layers and leave to dry overnight.
3Once it is fully dried cut the hole in the middle into the correct shape for the visor. Google an image for MMPR or Zyuranger for more info.
4Now you can paint your helmet in whatever color power ranger you want to be. Again leave to dry and add more paint if needed.
5Once fully dry add detail with silver paint around the visor and add a silver mouthplate with molded lips.
6Cut black netting and glue it in the hole in the middle of the helmet this will finish your helmet.
7Cut the helmet in half, make sure the half is front and back. Add magnets or velcro inside the edges of the helmet.
8Sticking with the same color find pants the same color and a long sleeved t-shirt.
9Get a white spandex head cover with neck to prevent your hair from getting caught between the helmet pieces. Alternatively, you can also purchase a white open faced balaclava instead.
10Use white fabric paint to draw three diamonds on the shirt (one diamond with even sides on the front center, two kite diamonds on the sides of the torso and the back, the longer sides must be on the back) and color them in white.
- Alternatively, you can sew or glue a white diamond out of a white cloth made out of a same material as the shirt on to the front and and the two kite ones on the sides and back of the t-shirt. Make sure the kite diamonds have holes for the sleeves.
11Put on a white belt with a morpher and a black holster for the morpher, white gloves with the matching color diamonds around the gauntlets, and white boots with the matching color diamonds around them, and your power ranger outfit should be complete. And if you don't have a morpher take some cardboard and make one or order it.

If this question (or a similar one) is answered twice in this section, please click here to let us know.
- Make your own Ranger. Go beyond the original fashion and make your own Ranger costume.
- For a better quality costume, find a bodysuit or a matching color shirt and pants made of spandex.
- If you want to be a Pink Ranger, you should add a skirt (pink with white edges).
- If you want to complete a costume, gather a pistol/sword/stick weapon, a white holster for the pistol/sword/stick weapon (the holster goes on the left hip), and a personal weapon (Red: Sword, Black: Axe/Gun, Blue: a pair of tridents, Yellow: Daggers, and Pink: Bow and Arrow).
- There are plenty of other Ranger series to choose from other than Mighty Morphin/Zyuranger. Many of them have much more elaborate costumes like Dino Thunder/Abaranger, or Space/Megaranger. Some have simple ones that are easier to make such as Zeo/Ohranger and Samurai/Shinkenger.
- If possible try to find a one piece suit so it will be the same shade of colour for your top and bottom.
- The helmet may try to change shape once painted so stuff the helmet with towels so it will keep the shape well the paint dries

4 are killed in St. Louis murder-suicide
By JIM SALTER
Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — An argument inside a St. Louis home health care business escalated into gun violence Thursday when a man shot three other people before turning the gun on himself, police said.
The shooting occurred at AK Home Health Care LLC, one several businesses inside the Cherokee Place Business Incubator south of downtown St. Louis. The shooter gunned down another man and two women before turning his semi-automatic handgun on himself, Police Capt. Michael Sack said.
Authorities said the shooter either owned or was a co-owner of the business and his three victims were employees. The victims' names have not been released.
Sack said they appeared to be in their early-40s to mid-50s in age. Other details were not available.
"We don't know if this was a thing that carried over into today or was initiated today," Sack said.
An employee of another business in the building heard gunshots and called police.
Other businesses in the building include an attorney's office and an African bazaar.
A woman wearing African attire showed up about two hours after the shooting and began sobbing loudly when she saw the police scene. She was comforted by onlookers and police. A neighborhood woman translated the woman's outbursts for reporters, saying the woman was worried that a relative was inside the building.
Abdi Salam Elmi, an immigrant from Somalia who drives a cab in St. Louis, said he was close to all four of the dead in Thursday's shooting. He described them as hardworking, friendly people.
"They always smile for me. This is my worst day in my life. It's a very, very sad day for us and a very sad day for the city of St. Louis."
St. Louis has long struggled with urban violence, but the last week has seen a troublesome uptick in bloodshed. Police scrambled late Monday and early Tuesday to respond to five different shootings on the city's north side that left 15 people wounded.
Elmi said as a cab driver he sees too much violence in the city, and he compared St. Louis' struggles to what he left behind in his war-torn African country.
"I feel the same as I did when I left Somalia," he said.
Meant to be a nurturer of startup businesses, the Cherokee Place Business Incubator dates back at least a decade in a once-thriving business section about five minutes south of downtown.
Big retailers later shifted to the suburbs. But that part of town, which has a strong Latino flair, has regained solid footing. New street lighting complimenting welcomed police responsiveness has helped make it safe, according to Jason Deem, a board member and former president of the Cherokee Street Business Association.
Deem called Thursday's bloodshed "a very unfortunate situation for Cherokee" but not reflective of the area as a whole.
"It's not like this type of thing goes on down here. This is very much a shock to us," he said. "Everything police are telling us leads us to believe it was a targeted incident and not some random act of violence."
Associated Press reporter Jim Suhr contributed to this story.

The crash happened when a red Honda Civic collided with the back of the transporter, sending it through the barrier on 11 June 2003.
The mini tanks came loose near junction 19 on the M1 in Leicestershire.
A crash investigator told Leicester Coroner's Court the victims had "very little" chance of avoiding the crash.
The transporter was travelling from Marchwood Docks in Hampshire, carrying the mini tanks - known as CVRT9s - which each weigh about eight tonnes.
Vehicles crushed
One of the army vehicles landed on top of and crushed a Mercedes Sprinter van, killing Paul Evans, 37 and Craig Mears, 33, who were both decorators from Great Wyrley, Staffordshire and lifelong friends.
Another tank hit a van in which Daniel Bradley, 21, from Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire, was a passenger. He was also killed.
Wayne Buckley, 44, from Osett in West Yorkshire, was travelling in a Vauxhall Vivaro van when it was crushed by the transporter's trailer.
Chris Green, 29, from Sutton-in-Ashfield in Nottinghamshire, was driving his Citroen van when it was hit by the transporter's tractor unit.
Up to 60 emergency teams were involved in cutting survivors from the wreckage, airlifting two people to hospital in Birmingham and taking a further six to the Leicester Royal Infirmary.
The inquest continues.

Bradley Cooper seems destined to have taken the lead role in The Words, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on Friday night.
After all, he's known the co-writer/director Brian Klugman since the two went to elementary school together in Philadelphia at age 11. The two remained fast friends from high school to Hollywood.
"We are the best of friends even now," Klugman tells USA TODAY.
When Klugman and fellow director/writer Lee Sternthal began working on the project 12 years ago, Cooper was just moving to Los Angeles. He was a struggling actor, not the star of the mega-franchise Hangover films. He even stayed on Klugman's couch.
Cooper was at the first script reading of The Words, though it took many more years to actually come to the screen.
"It's been quite a journey," says Cooper.
When the project finally came together after more than a decade of starts and stops, the cast included Dennis Quaid, Jeremy Irons and the rising star Cooper, who earned an executive-producer honor on the project.
The story deals with a struggling author who finds a lost manuscript of a great novel and publishes it as his own book.
Cooper says he was just proud the directors, Sternhal and Klugman, could handle the acting heavyweights on their first big feature.
"The quickest thing you can smell in a director is when they don't know what they are doing," says Cooper. "Or at least not pretending well enough. I knew on the first day we were going to be fine."
"But I still worried about (Klugman) the way I worry about a brother," he adds.
Friday night's premiere was vindication for Klugman. He was celebrating the first screening of the film, which has already been sold to CBS Films for eventual release.
"I'm here with my buddies, we made a movie we believe in," he says. "It's like a dream come true."

Seniors Lead Kentucky to Series Opening Win
April 23, 2011
COLUMBIA, S.C. - Seniors Meagan Aull and Annie Rowlands paced the 16th-ranked Kentucky offense to a 5-3 series-opening win at South Carolina, Saturday afternoon. Aull connected with her eighth home run of the season and Rowlands plated a pair of scores on two sacrifice flies.
With the win Kentucky pushes its record to 34-10 on the year and 12-6 in Southeastern Conference action. South Carolina falls to 24-23 overall and 5-15 in league play. The teams will play the second game of the series with a first pitch set for approximately 4 p.m. ET.
Junior pitcher Chanda Bell picks up her 12th victory of the season in a complete-game effort. Bell tossed six strikeouts and gave up three runs on just four hits in the opener.
Sophomore Kara Dill extended her career-long hitting streak to 13 games with a pair of hits and a run scored. Junior Rachel Riley also posted a single to extend her career-best hitting run to nine games.
The Wildcats struck first in the top half of the first. Dill sent a chopper up the middle. Aull then wasted little time in giving UK the lead with her eighth long ball of the year to officially tie the single-season record of 56 team round trippers on the year, matching the 2007 team's output.
UK added to its lead with a tally in the top of the second. Senior Samantha DeMartine opened the stanza with a walk and freshman Emily Jolly singled through the left side to place the opening two runners on base. An illegal pitch shifted the runners into scoring position and Rowlands delivered an RBI sacrifice fly for the strike and a 3-0 Wildcat edge.
The Gamecocks responded with a sacrifice fly of their own in the home half of the second to make the score 3-1 in favor of the visitors. South Carolina plated the score behind a leadoff triple along the right field line.
Junior Brittany Cervantes opened the top of the third by drawing a free pass. Riley singled into right field to place two runners aboard. Jolly drilled a chopper back to the pitcher and every player advanced on a fielder's choice. Rowlands then blasted a shot into deep center to plate her second consecutive sacrifice fly to increase UK's lead back to three runs at 4-1.
For the third consecutive inning the Blue and White plated one run to run its lead to 5-1. Junior Macy Allen began the stanza with a slap-single up the middle. Senior Megan Yocke shifted the runner into scoring position with a sacrifice bunt and Dill shifted the runner another base and was able to reach on an errant throw by the third baseman. The throw was so high and long that Allen was able to scoot home on the unearned tally.
UK's defense shined in the bottom of the fourth with a magnificent double-play effort. After allowed a one-out walk, Aull shagged down a fly ball in shallow center and tossed it to first where the base runner could not get back to the bag in time.
After pitching three scoreless innings, Bell gave up a seventh inning single to start a two-run rally by the home squad. Kaitlin Westfall connected with her second extra-base hit of the contest to bring in the two scores on her fourth homer of the season to make the final 5-3 score.
