7 Ways to Stop Bad-fit Leads from Becoming Costly Customers
In the early stages of growth, it can be tempting to think any new customer is a good customer. And many companies adopt the "churn and burn" philosophy of bringing in as many customers as possible, churning through the bad ones, and finding your fit through the process.
But even in early stages, converting bad fit leads can actually cost you more in the long-run. Even if bad-fit customers come in seamlessly, they will drain your support resources and drag you away from serving your more valuable customers. Bad-fit customers will eventually churn. And more often than not, they will do so with gusto, creating long term issues for your brand, making it harder to sustain growth.
But spotting non-ideal leads isn't always an easy task. Here are 7 steps to stopping bad-fit leads before they become costly customers.
1. Create buyer personas for good-fit customers
This seems like a no-brainer, right? But you'd be surprised by how many companies never establish buyer personas before embarking on user acquisition. Before you can recognize a bad-fit lead in your pipeline, your need to understand what a good-fit really looks like.
First, you need to make sure you thoroughly understand your current user base. Send out surveys, hop on a call, whatever it takes, you need to get user feedback and understand your customers on a deeper level.
More importantly, you need to understand your most successful customers. These are the ones who have been with you for years, who have integrated your product into their daily workflow, and who wouldn't think about leaving you unless something drastic changes in their position.
These "VIP" customers will give you insight into your true best-fit personas.
- What characteristics define a these types of customers?
- What are their daily tasks and responsibilities?
- What are their interests?
- What problems do they need solved?
- What role do they play in their company?
- How do they make decisions?
- How did they find your product in the first place?
- What sold them on choosing you over the competition?
- Most importantly, what made them so loyal?
Collect qualitative data from as many customers as possible as you create your buyer personas. Then, make sure those personas are extremely detailed. It should feel like you know these imaginary people inside and out. You understand their motivations, inspirations, issues, and dreams. Once you are fully aligned around these best-fit personas, you can move onto step 2.
2. Create buyer personas for bad-fit customers
No matter how good your product is, there will always be people who simply won't find the value. Often times, it has nothing to do with your offering, and more to do with their needs and expectations coming in. And you should be able to spot these people before they get too far into your funnel.
Now that you have asked all the right questions and drilled into your best-fit customer personas, it's time to define what a non-ideal, or bad-fit customer looks like for your business. You can likely find these answers in your customer support channels.
Which customers are muddying up the waters with constant complaints and issues?
Find those conversations, and then reach out to those customers. Additionally, you should look at your churned customers (yes, even people who have left are valuable to you). Reach out to ex-customers who churned quickly after signing up. Set your parameters to 1 month or less. People who churn within the first month were clearly unimpressed with your product, and you need to know why.
Create a list of these contacts and send out a survey about their experience. Hop on a call with churned customers. Whatever it takes, you need to fully understand why these people left in such a hurry.
Just like your best-fit personas, you want to understand these people on a deep level.
- What characteristics make someone a bad-fit for your product?
- Where did your product fall short for them?
- What expectations weren't met when they came in?
- How did they find out about you? Why did they chose you in the first place?
- Where did they go next? And why?
- Build up a buyer persona (or multiple personas) based around the same standards you chose for your good-fit customers. Knowing which kinds of leads aren't likely to stay will improve your ROI and help to shape your marketing and advertising decisions moving forward. And, prevent you from bringing these people into your product in the first place.
3. Educate your entire team
- "Customer success is a function of every department. Customer success is everyone's job…" You've probably heard it a million times, but
- what does this really look like
- ? In a nutshell, if your goal is to stop bad-fit leads at the door, everyone has to be aligned around the high-level mission of customer success.By now, you've got your good-fit and bad-fit personas locked down, now it's time to educate your team. Ahem,
- your entire team
- . Yes, your sales team should know these personas like the back of their hand, but it doesn't stop there. If your development team is working on features that your ideal customers
- don't necessarily need
- , it'll be harder to catch the bad apples before they get into your product. If your marketing team is speaking towards bad-fit characteristics, you'll bring in more bad-fit leads than your sales team can weed out. See how customer success really trickles through your entire company?The responsibility of stopping bad-fit leads at the door falls heavily on your sales team, but every department contributes to the issue. Good-fit and bad-fit buyer personas should be intertwined in every single business decision your team makes, from product development to content marketing to customer success and sales. Make sure every department understands these bad and good-fit personas so anyone can spot a mismatched customer before they become too costly for your startup. Aligning your team around these personas will ensure more protection against those havoc-wreaking users.
4. Analyze your pricing tiers
- Pricing tiers have a surprisingly large impact on the quality of customers that come into your pipeline. If your pricing is set too low, or fails to provide quality value, you may attract the wrong kinds of customers. You need to make sure your pricing tiers align with your best-fit customers in mind. This is, yet again, another way your business can be truly customer-centric. If your pricing tiers are simply designed to bring in as many people as possible, or upsell as often as you can, the quality of your users will reflect that. If you're truly a customer-first company (as you should be), your pricing will aim to provide the most value for your best-fit customers,
- at every stage
- . And if it's not, you'll feel it in your churn.If you begin to notice an uptick in bad-fit customers on your lower-tiered plans, bogging down your support team and creating lots of noise, double back and analyze your pricing. Pricing tiers should be d
- esigned with long-term retention in mind
- . And if they're designed correctly, they will naturally eliminate non-ideal customers.
- Sounds
- does a great job of this with their pricing. Each tier clearly provides the value and features their user need at every stage. They don't skimp on features on the lowest tier, and clearly express the features available on each level.
- Do your tiers offer real value to the customers you want to keep? The best place to look is at your lowest tier. Is the entry point too low?It's tempting to design a free, or highly inexpensive plan with minimal features just to get people in the door. But if there's not real value tied to it, you could attract users who don't necessarily need your product. When this happens, you'll see an increase in complaints, angry customers, and yup you guessed it-- churn. Your pricing tiers say a lot about the value of your product. Make sure your pricing strategy speaks to the expectations of your best-fit customers.
5. Dial in your marketing
- As I've mentioned, halting bad-fit leads at the door isn't just a sales issue. The second big player in customer quality is your marketing team. Now that you've got your buyer personas set, it's important to circle back and check in on your marketing efforts. With strong buyer personas set, you can really hunker down into your external communications in a more targeted way. Your goal is to flag any marketing pieces that may attract those bad-fit leads to you in the first place.Review every piece of your marketing strategy. From ad copy to email subject lines, ensure that you're speaking to the issues of your best-fit persona every single time. Simply sharpening up your messaging and brand presence should lower the amount of bad-fit leads that enter your funnel. If you're not sure where to start here, using a
- cohort analysis
- is a great way to gather insight into any marketing that may be bringing in bad-fit leads.
- Analyzing your churn with time-based cohorts can help you identify any moments where large groups of users churned out. Compare this churn analysis against all of your marketing campaigns. Did you run a set of Facebook ads for a month, then see a large amount of churn 30 days later? It's trends like this that will give you clear insight into certain marketing tactics that may be bringing in poor-fitting customers.
6. Bridge your marketing and sales teams
- Marketing and sales go hand in hand, right? This may sound like another no-brainer, but more often than not, sales teams and marketing teams are not nearly as intertwined as they should be. Creating a bridge between the two teams will allow each department to better understand how they're doing in terms of bringing in the best-fitting customers.Create processes for your sales team to report on the nature of the leads coming in. Maybe this looks like a monthly report sent to the marketing team, or a weekly high-level meeting to discuss findings from their prospects. Qualitative data from your sales team should impact high-level decisions made on the marketing side. If the sales team feels bogged down with prospects who seem to fall in the bad-fit persona, marketing needs to know there's something wrong. Conversely, if the sales team feels like a large portion of the leads coming in are eager to buy and fall in the best-fit persona, this will continually help drive your marketing team towards better strategies. And this goes both ways.Quantitative data from your marketing team on things like activation rates and long-term retention of customers should impact high-level decisions made on the sales side. If the sales team converted 10 leads that turned into highly valuable, loyal customers, they should have that information (and be rewarded for it). This data will help them further their understanding of who really is the absolute best-fit lead so they can prioritize their outreach accordingly. The only way this is possible is through open and positive communication. When sales and marketing teams work together, your funnel will become cleaner, more controlled, and will naturally bring in better fitting customers.
7. Learn to walk away from a bad sale
- If you incentivize your sales team to convert as many leads as possible, bad-fit customers are going to start pouring in. Instead, include rewards for your sales team on post-sale wins such as retention, upgrades, and engagement. Even if these metrics are not directly tied to sales, you are empowering your team to take ownership over high-level goals. Knowing when and
- how to walk away from a bad sale
- is invaluable for long-term retention. Here are a few ways to sharpen this process:
- Create a "cheat sheet" of persona characteristics your sales team can reference quickly.
- Prepare your sales team with walk away messaging.
- Create a solidified system for turning down a lead.
- Partner with a company who better serves your bad-fit personas, and create a system to point those leads their way (and vice versa).
Avoiding the tempting trap of booking bad-fit customers
- While customer acquisition is necessary for growth, retention should get more of your focus. It doesn't matter how many leads you convert if none of them fit enough to stick around. If you're bringing in too many bad-fit customers, your churn will get out of control. And in the long-run, you'll spend more money and resources just trying to keep up with the noise. Responsible executives understand that customers come first, which means not every sale is a good sale. From employee and customer satisfaction to churn reduction, halting bad-fit leads at the door will set your business up for dependable growth. So are you willing to stop signing bad-fit leads?

The governor then prayed for a prosperous Islamic New Year for all citizens and assured that the Sokoto state government would continue to implement policies that would uplift the living standard of all citizens.
The new Islamic year started on Sunday, October 2, with Tuesday, October 4, equivalent to Muharram 3, 1438 AH.

The governor urged Muslims to use the period of the holiday, especially the blessed days of the 9th and 10th of the month of Muharram to ease the socio- economic challenges facing the country and to strengthen our leaders to steer it to greater heights.

Works On Paper
Watercolour and colour pencil, 85cm x 105cm
This February day was very hot, and the Forest Trail was refreshingly cool in comparison. It had an incredibly peaceful vibe as well as being beautiful, and inspired my artistic senses. I loved the fresh greens of the ferns and the textures of the trees and leaf litter.

This is, of course, due in no small part to the fact that many different technological advances have been made which seem to speed us along more than ever before. What's more, there is an increased emphasis on productivity, and with it an increased spirit of expectations, both internal and external. While these drives and that pace can be incredibly motivating, there is no doubt that this hyperactive speed of life is apt to leave many people feeling incredibly tired, stressed, or both. Too often we write this off as a mere inevitable "tradeoff" of a more active lifestyle. The fact of the matter is, however, stress can add up over time, and cause long-term problems down the line.
You don't want that, and so finding ways to alleviate that stress is essential. Stress fighting supplements such as Caruso's Ginseng are an evermore popular way to do just that. Here are a few reasons why, and how you can go about picking the best options for you.
Doing it for Yourself
Firstly, it's critical to make sure that, as with any supplement you take, you are doing this for yourself. You never want to feel as though you are being pressured into taking something about which you are not wholly certain. You will therefore want to ask your doctor about different types of stress-relief supplements, and make sure that whatever you are taking offers something with which you feel comfortable, and which will help and not harm your body.
Relieving Fatigue
There are many ways in which the best stress relieving supplements on the market today fight fatigue, including:
- Providing you with a nutritional boost, which can in turn help grant you greater stamina and energy throughout the day
- Providing basic stress relief
- Providing support for your adrenal gland
- Increasing the functionality of your immune system, thereby helping you fight off potential diseases easier and faster, which in turn can help keep you from prematurely tiring
- Providing you with a greater sense of overall personal vitality
Affordable Rates
Whenever you look into purchasing any kind of nutritional supplement, you naturally want to make sure that you are buying something you can afford. No one should be caught between constant fatigue and their pocketbook. That is why the best providers of stress relief and energy boosting supplements in Australia offer options which are as affordable as they are useful. You will be able to browse through a number of different varieties of supplements, searching for the one which best complements your needs.
Find out more information and get the stress relief you need with the help of supplements you and your doctor determine work best for your body.

Photo: Sport Singapore It was a subdued day in the pool on Saturday for Team Singapore as Paralympians Yip Pin Xiu and Theresa Goh failed to improve on their personal timings at the OCBC Aquatics Centre during second day of the Singapore leg of the World Para Swimming World Series. Team Singapore's Toh Wei Soong also swam his heart out in the Men's 400m freestyle final to record a personal best time of 05:01:97. Unfortunately his time was only good enough for fourth place with a points score of 879. Although the senior para swimmers did not have the best of days, their younger compatriots again showed their promise by improving on personal timing with Chew Zi Ling, Nicole Fu, Danielle Moi and Wong Zhi Wei setting new PBs in their various events. With the new generation doing well you can expect them to raise their performances on the last day of the competition.

Stage Fright
As Lila lay on the floor of the janitor's closet, running her fingers over the raised flesh on her face still hot from being burned, she considered all the choices she'd made, not because she was Jewish, but because other people knew she was Jewish. She couldn't ignore the choked screams of the dark figure next to her, who had curled herself into the fetal position. Her screams became sobs.
Everyone felt the closure of summer. Lila no longer heard the punctual cackles from her mom's friends on Sunday nights while they killed a bottle of Sutter Home merlot on the porch. The air had begun to fill with the smell of burnt leaves during Lila's walks home from school, on weekends the white smoke from charcoal grilled hamburgers floating leisurely through her neighborhood, riding on the sound of leaf blowers. The new beginnings of fall brought an omniscient sense of foreboding for Lila.
Lila was stage crew for this years production of A Midsummer Night's Dream and Derek, who played the lead role of Demetrius, had started talking to her after rehearsal. She thought he would ask her to spring formal. There was also talk of a visit to NYU in a few months. However, now Lila bit her nails under the duress of Mr. Holland's English class, trying to take notes in between the noise from the hall and the whispers behind her. Then she heard:
"Kike." clear and sharp like the hot metal point of an arrow piercing a chunk of trembling flesh. Jamie tugged at her hair, causing Lila's head to jerk back. Lila leaned forward on her elbows, but her hair was too long and she felt another tug. "Jew face." She tried to focus on The Crucible but the distorted words on the page made it worse, and "kike" penetrated her thoughts, bleeding her like a cut artery. "I bet your Jew mother won't even fuck a Christian." and another tug. "But I've heard Jew broads love sex. Is it true, does your mom love screwing other guys, you know with your Jew dad dead and all?" Lila gripped the sides of her desk until her knuckles were white, choking on Jamie's lavender perfume which seemed to seethe from her body like a dust cloud. "Well?" Her heart beat in her ears. Lila looked at the clock that wasn't moving fast enough, and Mr. Holland walked by with a handout titled "The Red Scare and Miller's The Crucible." Jamie leaned over and again whispered "kike" with Mr. Holland a mere foot away. Then rose the burning in the back of her eyes, the thick saliva gathering in her throat, and a stabbing pain in her forehead. Lila could already feel the tears bursting from her eyes, hot and uncontrollable. She wiped her face with her sleeve and swallowed the wad in her throat.
"Mr. Holland, can I?" She pointed toward the door. He nodded and went back to grading papers at his desk. The air felt thick, and in the hall she started crying, stumbling in the direction of the drama room, mascara running. A minute later Dawn, who had seen it happen, was next to her, pulling her into her neck, smelling of watermelon body spray.
Lila didn't make it back to her locker until the middle of fourth period. As she watched the tiles pass beneath her feet, her red Converse sneakers gliding over flattened gum and juice stains, she wished she'd been born Lila Mark instead of Markowitz, that her black hair didn't frizz into curls when it rained. She wished her mom didn't cook orange marmalade brisket at Hanukkah, and that she didn't feel safer when she wore her Star of David, because it made her feel like God was protecting her.
There weren't many Jewish kids in school, the town of Lyman only having a small Conservative synagogue with blue and green stained glass windows out front. Lila loved to stare at them after Saturday morning prayers, although the old wood bench seating hurt her back during the three hour High Holiday services. Lila usually kept her Star of David tucked inside her shirt, and didn't talk about going to synagogue. It wasn't that Lyman High was an anti-Semitic place, it just didn't help her to talk about being Jewish.
Then one day extinguished any hope she might have had of a life at Lyman High: culture day. "You're making eggs Florentine out of a simple scrambler." her mom said. Lila hated when she did that. Lila pleaded for weeks and prayed her mom would back out or get sick, but she showed up before an assembly of three hundred and fifty students. She presented on the best Charoset recipe to serve at a Passover Seder. Lila hid in the band room with Dawn, but she heard that her mom passed out business cards and made a bad joke about eating culture until we're fat.
"I didn't know you were Jewish." The words appeared at parties and rehearsals, at school concerts and dances. That's when Lila first heard Jamie utter the four letter word. She quit her role as Sarah Brown in that year's spring play, Guys and Dolls, instead choosing to do stage crew.
She entered her combination and yanked off the lock. Lila searched her towering stack of papers for her European history book, digging past her handouts folder and a marked up script, her eyes seeking a brown paper dust cover. When she turned to touch up her face in the small hand mirror she'd hung in the door, Lila saw it. Grotesque in black marker with straight edged lines, stripping her bare like a prison number, a big swastika drawn across her mirror with the word written underneath, the word that held her hostage. The face staring back at her was cut by the edges of the symbol, the image of her face reshaped and labeled, "kike." Her face looked like it had been sliced and mangled, turned into a freak Jew creation. Lila grabbed the mirror and threw it to the ground, shattering glass and plastic at her feet. She slammed her locker shut and marched toward class.
The bell rang. Faces flooded the hall, and Lila clutched her book. Her insides boiled with hate for Jamie, a hate she could only feel for the person who made her less than human, who made her a Jew. A group of guys in dark hoodie sweatshirts who smelled like fried eggplant leaned in and whispered as she walked by. She wanted to claw their eyes. Dave Miller waved at her, but she didn't wave back.
Suddenly, she felt her hair yanked by thin fingers, and the hard light of the hallway cut to blackness, like the dropping of a curtain. She heard a door slam and felt herself pushed against a metal shelf. She could smell dust, ammonia, and lavender.
"Jew bitch." she felt a hand shoot to her throat, and another come across her face with a smack. The hand on her throat squeezed and the air in her lungs became sparse. Lila flailed her arms, trying to hit the dark figure in front of her and peel the fingers off her throat, when another, harder smack came across her face. "We need to teach you Jews a lesson." The hand forced her back against the shelf, knocking bottles off that hit her in the head. Lila felt a fierce pain and hot liquid run down her head onto the back of her neck. Lila reached in front of her, clawing, swiping with her open palm, kicking, but the arm was too long and the room began spinning. She saw sparks and heard the flick of a lighter, and a flame appeared next to a petit hand. "Burn Jew." She blew out the flame and a searing pain, like the peeling of skin from bone, struck her cheek. Lila tried to scream but all that came out was a pathetic gag, the sound of her attackers victory. The room was moving farther away, and she felt the lingering burn on her cheek becoming cold. A hand came up and slapped the burning flesh.
The room, the smell of burned flesh and lavender perfume, started to drift from her consciousness, but inside she rebelled. Before her body gave in to the darkness, she grabbed at the arm a last time, this time feeling an elbow, straightened and extended. She pinned the hand to her throat and brought her forearm down and then up toward the straightened elbow, making a plus sign with her assailants arm and breaking through it. The crack rang through the entire room, and Lila was on the ground drinking in air. Her attacker was screaming and crying. Holding her throat, Lila sat up and tried to focus her eyes. Once her eyes adjusted she saw light hair and a thin frame, then Lila felt her face. She could feel the hot, softened skin where she'd been burned. A pain stung the back of her head, blood trickling down the back of her neck. Tears wound their way down Lila's face, but she didn't care. The room had stopped wobbling and now she heard sobbing next to her. She wanted to feel triumphant, like she'd won, but she didn't feel anything good. All Lila could think was that there was lots of pain, and both of them hurt, but she had survived.
Channel News 5: " Following the arrest of his daughter, Jamie Douglas, who assaulted a local Jewish girl at Lyman High School last week, Timothy Douglas, president of the Neo-Nazi group White Warriors, was apprehended at his Lowell Street house Tuesday night on charges of assault and battery of his daughter, as well as suspected hate crime and manslaughter charges. Found in his basement were copies of Mien Kampf and The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a text purporting a plan for Jewish world domination, and a key book used by the Third Reich…"

If sailing to far-flung places like Bora Bora, Indonesia, or Ascension Island intrigues you, keep reading. Oyster Yachts owners, as well as those who love the British builder's sailboats and sailing superyachts, are invited to join the third edition of the Oyster World Rally, commencing in January 2021. The news comes while the second edition of this around-the-world rendezvous is still in full swing.
Oyster Yachts created the Oyster World Rally initially to celebrate its 40th anniversary. The feedback from that cruise, from 2013 to 2014, convinced the builder to turn it into a recurring event. In fact, Oyster Yachts lays claims to being the only builder organizing a circumnavigation on a regular basis. (Some builders in the production-boat industry organize long-range cruises, but not around the world.)
Interestingly, as mentioned above, you don't need to own an Oyster to join. In fact, David Tydeman, Oyster's CEO, says three pending or hopeful owners have already signed up for the 2021 to 2023 cruise. They include the buyer of the first Oyster 118, in build. Tydeman adds, "We already have over 50 families expressing interest in the next Oyster World Rally 2021-23, and a couple have even asked about the 2025 edition!"
The Oyster World Rally kicks off and concludes in Antigua. The route takes cruisers to the Galapagos and through the Pacific over to Australia. Everyone then ventures to Mauritius, South Africa, Ascension Island, and Brazil, before heading back up to the Caribbean. (For the full route, download the rally brochure.) To foster the sense of adventure that attracts participants, the Oyster World Rally includes abundant time at each destination to explore. In addition, it's split into two parts. The first focuses on the Pacific, from January to October 2021. The second, from April 2022 to April 2023, centers on Asian waters and "the passage home." Participants can choose one or the other, instead of doing the entire trip, if they so wish.
Regardless of choice, Oyster Yachts handles all planning and assists with preparations and logistics. These include customs and immigration clearances, provisioning, and shoreside support. Understandably, it also helps cruisers in need of spare parts or other maintenance.
One current Oyster World Rally attendee sees no reason to hesitate to sign up. The customer sent a note to all rally-goers last October, commenting on "ordinary people doing extraordinary things." Even better: "The courage, kindness, generosity, fun, humor, and friendship that we have experienced has been awe-inspiring."

Guardiola chasing new midfielder before deadline
Pep Guardiola is trying to bring in a new Manchester City midfielder before Thursday but "if he doesn't come there will not be anyone else".
Manchester City will push to give Pep Guardiola another specialist defensive midfield option before the transfer window closes on Thursday
The Premier League champions scarcely looked in need of new recruits as they breezed to a 2-0 win over Chelsea at Wembley in Sunday's Community Shield.
Indeed, Jorginho struggled in the beaten XI on his competitive debut for Chelsea having opted for a swift reunion with ex-Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri, despite being courted at length by City.
Since the Italy international moved to Stamford Bridge, City have been linked to a succession of high-end alternatives from Juventus' Miralem Pjanic to Real Madrid's Mateo Kovacic and Paris Saint-Germain's Marco Verratti.
Guardiola explicitly distanced himself from a move for Pjanic during City's pre-season tour of the United States but, speaking after the win at Wembley, he confirmed an unnamed midfielder is in his sights.
"I don't know. We are trying," he said when asked whether Riyad Mahrez would be joined by another major arrival in this window.
"We would like to find maybe one more because we don't have two specific players to substitute Fernandinho.
"But if he doesn't come, there will not be anyone else. I don't know [if we are close]. I was focused on the final, so we will just see."
The Community Shield is ours! August 5, 2018
John Stones slotted into the holding role in front of the back four during the closing stages against Chelsea – an alternative Guardiola suggested he might revisit if the mystery man does not arrive – but it was City's attacking midfielders who stole the show, supplying the ammunition for Sergio Aguero's match-winning brace.
Guardiola hailed Bernardo Silva's performance as "a masterpiece" and Phil Foden was given a standing ovation after a display that hinted at a breakout campaign for the 18-year-old playmaker.
"Phil is part of the team," the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss added.
"Last year was his first season playing with us and training with us. Now he is more mature and part of the first team.
"When he deserves and we believe he should play, he's going to play. Which is good - he is a Manchester City fan, [so are] his family. The people love him.
"In pre-season he played with a lot of heart and courage. He did really well and with more time will be a football player for Manchester City for a long, long time."

CAMBRIDGE — On June 2, the Dorchester County Historical Society (DCHS) held its Annual Meeting and Banquet on its campus at The Heritage Museums and Gardens of Dorchester. This event marks the 63rd year that DCHS has been in existence, making it one of the longest standing local nonprofits in the area.
Normally held off site, the decision to bring the membership together on campus was made this year to reunite members with their "home," and so that they could experience for themselves the new offerings, exhibits and research center. In addition, it was noted by many that there was an air of excitement and enthusiasm that normally does not accompany things of a historical nature. More than 90 of DCHS's membership and staff were on hand for the event.
The Business Meeting was brief and elections were held that installed the following officers and board members. Judi Leaming continues as president; Teresa Neild, vice president; Lynne Mills, treasurer; Nancy Malwitz, secretary and new Board members Andrew Holliday, Bobbie Rideout, Nick Roetzel, Carole Towers and William Wise III.
Following dinner catered by Jimmy's Grille, Mr. P. Smith (Smitty) Rue shared his recollections and research about Holland Island. It was his interest and determination to write a book on Holland Island and its people that fueled the partnership with local author A. M. Foley to produce "Holland Island: Lost Atlantis of the Chesapeake Bay." Smitty's talk was informative and entertaining.
Another highlight of the evening, as explained by Director Ann Phillips, was the unveiling of the Board Challenge 2016. Mounted in the entry to the event space were works of art that were created by DCHS Board members. Ms. Phillips shared that she had challenged the Board to create the art in any medium, to describe how they feel about Dorchester. Works ranged from photography to string art with cutting edge art mediums being shown in one case. These incredible pieces will be on display at the Heritage Museums and Gardens of Dorchester before appearing at the Tomato Festival in August as part of a silent auction.
For information on the organization of DCHS or the campus, the Heritage Museums and Gardens of Dorchester, please contact the office at 410-228-7953 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. The site is located at 1003 Greenway Drive in Cambridge.

I bought the shirts at Old Navy (on clearance) and then cut up one of Rachel's Guarantee Girls cleaning shirts (Larry says that's very "sustainable" of me). I used Old English Text MC and made the letters about 3" tall and traced them, reversed, onto Wonder Under.
I used this shamrock from a blog (and I can't find it! Rats! If you know where I got it please tell me) that I had saved to my images folder. I made it into a guitar. First I ironed on the letters and then I top-stitched around everything and put the knobs and strings on the guitar.
It took longer than I thought to do all that sewing, but in the end, I'm pretty happy with the result. I like it so much, I'm going to make a pillow ... sham.

The Central Vermont Medical Center art gallery, located in the hospital lobby, has fast become a popular venue for local artists. Our newest exhibitor is Lynn Newcomb, who works as a blacksmith/sculptor and a printmaker. Her forge and print shop are located in Worcester, Vermont. The CVMC exhibit is open from now until November 4, 2011.
"The underlying technique for all these prints is liftground etching," explained the artist. "Etching is a medium capable of great nuance. Etching is a flexible medium, demonstrating the power and resonance of black ink. I let the plates evolve slowly and they acquire histories – accidents, imperfections, traces where I have re-worked the image. I use simple tools. My interest lies in creating what one may call layered prints, prints in which the viewer has the sensation of looking into and through the blacks."
I work as a printmaker and a metal sculptor. My abstract prints sometimes relate to the sculpture and I certainly draw as a sculptor. The Kathmandu Series were created after a trip to Nepal where I first saw the Buddhist symbol for eternity. I then created prints where I made a continuous line which looked as though I had not lifted the brush while drawing," said Lynn.
"I am continually amazed at the creative talent in central Vermont," said CVMC President and CEO Judy Tarr Tartaglia. "Lynn's been working right here in Worcester, Vermont for more than 20 years, yet her work is in major collections ranging across the United States from the Seattle [Washington] Arts Commission to the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University."
"I was inspired to create the four collaged prints currently on exhibit at CVMC, after seeing an exhibition of the work of painter Estevan Vicente. These four collages are tangential to my central body of work but made under the same impulse that might lead a violinist to sit down at the piano for awhile," noted Lynn.
Lynn has recently been a guest lecturer and visiting critic at Holy Cross College in Worcester, Massachusetts, and at the Rhode Island School of Design European Honors Program in Rome, Italy. She teaches etching classes at Two Rivers Printmaking in White River Junction.

Stone Coop Farm, the popular certified organic farm at 9615 Musch Road in Brighton, is ceasing operations on Saturday, Nov. 24.
According to a Facebook post on Oct. 30, 2018, the farm is "figuring out what (the) future might look like."
The farm, which specialized in mixed vegetables and fruits, with many heirloom varieties, sold CSA memberships, sold at farmers' markets, and supplied several different stores and restaurants with produce, including the popular La Vita Bistro in Picnkney.
It strived for sustainability by maintaining an ecosystem of mixed annuals and perennials, with cover crop and animal rotations to foster the development of health soil, as well as an environment for beneficial insects.
"We have our 501c3status, and we are going to keep it," the post said.
While it was a "gigantic task" for Stone Coop to figure out how to buy and save its farmland, that is "no longer an option."
Stone Coop said it will continue its mission of teaching people how to grow and eat incredible, healthy food, and strive to create a vibrant and profitable farm model.
"It just means that we are not locked into one location now," according to the email. "We may look for farmland, but right now our focus will be to figure out a funding strategy through grants, foundations, sponsorships and events."
Stone Coop said it will also be looking for other farmers and nonprofits for partnerships.
The last market at Stone Coop is Saturday, Nov. 24. Anyone with market share funds need to use them as soon as they can.
Anyone interested in purchasing Stone Coop's property can email firstname.lastname@example.com, or call (810) 599-2616.

Chapter 1437: Face-Off
The celestial demon lord was furious. The trap he had set had been virtually perfect. Thanks to this human youth however, at least half of it was foiled. The mass of demon slaves he had collected was dying in droves as well.
The Vermilion Bird had been the only obstacle in his plans. But because the bird was at the end of its lifespan, it was no match for the recovering demon lord. Though the seal was unlikely to be broken in a short amount of time, the demon lord would eventually reign supreme in the Primosanct Sect's sacred place without the bird's interference. He could then use his consciousness to attract more and more human cultivators.
There was absolutely nothing wrong with the plan. Just that he hadn't imagined said plan would be greatly disrupted by a human youth.
What depressed the demon lord the most was not the fracturing of the plan, but the youth's refusal to depart. It was obvious that he was targeting the demon.
Given the age of the demon lord's existence, he wouldn't have cared a whit for a young human genius if he was at peak form. Alas, he was sealed away right now. He could only use his consciousness to create trickery because his body was immobile.
He didn't know what secret method the human youth had used to revive the eight giant stone statues. It rather worried the demon lord.
As one of the crowning races of old, the celestial demons had incredible instincts as a race. The demon lord's instincts told him that the young man would create a lot of problems for him, possibly even endanger his safety.
Meanwhile, the eight giant statues threatened the demon lord on a psychological level.
"If I don't get rid of this human youth, he'll become a real threat sooner or later. He hasn't left yet and that proud Vermilion Bird is getting along with him far too well. What special charisma does this kid have?"
The celestial demon lord couldn't understand it. From what he knew of the current Divine Abyss, the human race should have decayed to a very weak point.
His slaves were largely only great emperors, yet they were considered to be the very best humanity had to offer. The waning of human fortune made the demon lord very much desire to rampage in the outside world. He wanted his freedom back as soon as possible.
From his point of view, if the demons could make a new sortie into human lands, the weakness of its current residents gave demonkind a very good chance of enslaving humans altogether.
Still, it was rather unbelievable that there was a genius like this amongst humans despite their weakness. He had pierced the demon lord's conspiracy and garnered favor with an ancient Vermilion Bird.
The celestial demon lord knew that despite humanity's various problems, it was supremely resilient. Whenever it was endangered, a group of geniuses always rose to meet the challenge. He had very personal experience of their persistence.
"I have to think of a way to leave this place. A kid as immature as him, disrupt my plan? Impossible!"
The demon lord plainly didn't want to see that happen.
Unfortunately, he didn't have a good way to resolve the situation. He had tried sending subordinates to attack, but they'd perished like moths to a flame.
His demonic servants had been trivially crushed.
This was the primary reason for the demon lord's concern. If the human youth had control over such terrifying forces, then the demon lord would have difficulty dealing with them even at peak strength.
Jiang Chen was actually in as much of a rush as the demon lord was. He had stayed in Agarwood Valley for too long. The unwitting discovery of the celestial demon lord's plot put him in his own dilemma.
He could easily up and leave at any moment, but that would simply lead to the situation here spiraling out of control. The demon lord could struggle free of his seal in no time at all and proceed to devastate the human domain.
He had no choice in staying or going. He was the only one who could exterminate the source.
He had learned the majority of the Primosanct Sect formation's secrets, but enhancing and restoring it to its previous power level and beyond would cost an astronomical amount of resources.
Jiang Chen was very rich, but not quite to the degree that the formation demanded.
In ancient times, the sum would have been quite reasonable. In the modern era however, it was exceedingly troublesome to gather together such a king's ransom.
Returning to the top of the mountain, Jiang Chen was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
"Jiang Chen, the Primosanct Sect must have left some resources here," advised the Vermilion Bird. "The sect was as rich as a large nation. It doesn't make sense that they haven't left anything their formation needs. Maybe there are still secrets waiting to be discovered?"
The divine creature knew that the human youth was its only hope of seeing its duty through. If the youth lost his fighting spirit, then it had no hope of leaving this place at all.
Its time was short on this mortal coil. In truth, it was even more anxious than Jiang Chen.
Big Stone of the Primordial Stone Golem Tribe was more insensitive. "Savior, demons don't have three heads or six arms. Don't worry. If he dares to try to escape, we brothers will handle it."
As a primordial race, the Stone Golem Tribe naturally looked upon the more junior demons with disdain. The demons had run free not because of their own strength, but due to the weakness of the juniors on Divine Abyss!
The Vermilion Bird respected these stone golems quite a bit. It knew that they were one of the stronger races in the primordial times. If the strongest races of the primordial era hadn't become extinct, the demon race may not have had any opportunity in the ancient era at all.
It was precisely because the primordial era had come to a close that civilization on Divine Abyss had taken the turn into the ancient era.
Strictly speaking, the primordial era was Divine Abyss Continent's true ancestry. The experts and races back then could claim superiority over even the ones in the ancient era, just as the ancient era was many times more impressive than the modern.
Jiang Chen's mood settled down a good deal after returning to the mountain. His formation studies had yielded splendid fruit. It wasn't his fault that he lacked the resources to apply that knowledge to the practical problem before him.
Like the Vermilion Bird had said, maybe the Primosanct Sect had more secrets not yet dug up.
For example, there was a barely discernible killing intent hidden on the peak. The Vermilion Bird had mentioned that there was a signature treasure here, an ancient bow.
Perhaps all to be revealed was concealed right beneath them.
The Primosanct Sect had three signature treasures. The ancient bow was one, the True Spirit Post was another, but there was no information on the last. Even the Vermilion Bird didn't know what it was supposed to be.
Time passed day by day.
Jiang Chen and the demon lord were at a standstill.
The demon lord used his consciousness to sniff out Jiang Chen's scent everyday, hoping desperately for the human to leave the valley.
But Jiang Chen was unwilling to depart. Though he had no way of getting rid of the demon lord, he wasn't going to give up.
This kind of passive confrontation was extremely boring. Emperor Newsun and the Purple Smoke Sect's forefather couldn't bear the experience much longer. This was pure suffering for them.
"Daoist Newsun, are you leaving? You too, Zi Tan?"
When the emperor and the forefather subtly expressed their intents to depart, Jiang Chen was rather surprised.
"Young lord Jiang Chen, we can't help very much with what is happening here. The outside world knows nothing about what's taken place. I'm worried that there'll be brewing concerns in the outside world and further explorers who make their way in. We must stop that kind of unwanted development."
Jiang Chen saw no reason to oppose the resolute emperor. "Daoist Newsun, there's no reason for me to oppose your decision. Still, we must discuss what you're going to do after you leave the valley!"
The great emperor blinked. "We must announce the happenings here, of course. The human domain must know of these cultivators' traitorous ways and swearing of allegiance to the demons. Furthermore, we should also send out the call for everyone to gather their strengths and prepare to defend against a demonic invasion. We can't live in numb normality any longer."
Emperor Newsun had the right idea.
The Purple Smoke Sect's forefather nodded in agreement. His thoughts hadn't been as noble as the emperor's. The expert from the Ninesuns Sky Sect had considered things more holistically than he could.
Jiang Chen considered this for a few moments before sighing. "Daoist Newsun, if you break with them immediately after going out there, things may be stacked against you. Do you know how many sects will frown upon your declaration, even if it's entirely truth? They'll think that you're slandering them! They'll unify in their rejection of what you say, and perhaps even pick fights with you as a person by attacking your sect."
All of this was very possible.
When one or two people tried to speak poorly of a larger group, there wouldn't be many who believed them. In fact, they could very well attract undesirable skepticism.
It was painfully obvious that if Emperor Newsun were to reveal the truth to the public now, he would be the primary target of cynicism than the accused. How come he was the only one who'd managed to escape from the demon lord's clutches, eh?
Emperor Newsun felt the beading sweat on his brow. "Thank you for reminding me, young lord Jiang Chen. It seems I can't be in too much of a hurry."
"There's no need for that. The demon lord isn't going to break free of his seal any time soon. You should make some adjustments and preparations in your own sects internally, though. The demon invasion is on the horizon.
"The current human domain," Jiang Chen continued, "hasn't endured any losses at demon hands. Thus, most have no sense of urgency or danger. They still think that demons are relegated to ancient mythology. But the demons' blade of slaughter is about to appear very soon!"

So as many community members have advised me to do regarding my issue with the location article images, I am making this blog to suggest a change and improvement. I'm going to keep it very simple, I was dissatisfied about the quality of the infobox images that were being used for the Borderlands locations, this being either a map or a crappy screenshot. I am happy to learn that KillarDeez is at least putting some effort in making some good quality maps, but I am still not fully on board of this way of showing the area, I think that the loading screens, the ones that show the area the best imo, are a necessity on location articles and in the infobox.
But it seems that the map images are here to stay, so I'm suggesting a different approach, as told to me by Dr. F. Just having both images in the infobox. I would show you how it would look like practically here, but I can't since what I have in mind, would require some additional templates and JS. So I made it on my test Wiki. So basically, this is what I would propose to change the location article infoboxes into. Yay or nay?

Higonokami is the most famous Japanese pocket knife. It enjoys the same kind of fame in Japan as the Swiss army knife does in Switzerland and around the globe.
Higonokami is a small, lightweight and durable pocket knife of simple design, suitable for versatile use. The BRASS version is made of quality, traditional Japanese Aogami #1 blue steel, hardened to around 62 HRC. This blade will develop a rich patina, making every blade unique over time and use. Higonokami has no locking system, it uses friction to keep the blade securely in place. The blade can be extracted from its brass handle by pushing down on the iconic level, called chikiri. During use, we should keep a thumb on the level to prevent the knife from folding.
The shape of the Higonokami pocket knife is based on the katana, which is not a coincidence since knife manufacturing is deeply embedded in the samurai tradition. The knife first appeared in 1896 in response to reforms in the 19th century, which banned the production of weapons, so blacksmiths began to produce knives, among others also these small pocket Higonokamis. The Higonokami is produced by Kanekoma, a company with over 100 years of experience in forging knives.
When Higonokamis began to be manufactured in Miki, the knife manufacturing metropolis, it spread rapidly throughout Japan and the United States, where it was mostly used for pencil sharpening - just one of the many functions of this versatile small pocket knife.
☝ Fun fact: The small four Kanji characters on the handle of the Higonokami mean Registered Trademark. The first three big characters translate to Higonokami (the name of the knife), and the last two are the name of the maker (Kanekoma).
The 80mm (3.2") blade length version of the pocket knife is packed in a cute little cardboard box. We also offer Higonokami in the BLACK version, and in a shorter, 50mm (2.0") blade length, which comes with a leather pouch in 3 colors:
