CEO Of The Year Nominees: 1) Robert Iger of Disney (DIS)
24/7 Wall St. will name its annual CEO of the Year next week. The executive will be picked from a field of ten which we will profile this week.
The CEOs are chosen on the basis of their company's stock market and financial performances compared with their own industry groups and all large companies traded on US markets. Only firms with market caps of more than $5 billion were considered. 24/7 reviewed revenue growth, operating margins, balance sheets, return on assets, and return on equity.
Large media content companies have had a brutal year primarily as the recession has cut spending for advertising. Shares in CBS (CBS) are down more than 78%. Rupert Murdoch, considered by many to be the most clever media firm operator in the world, has watched shares in his News Corp (NWS) drop nearly 65%.
The only big media stock to outperform the DJIA is Disney (DIS). To a very large extent that is because CEO Robert Iger has managed to efficiently operate and balance Disney's theme park, television network, cable content, movie studio, and consumer products divisions. Revenue and segment operating income at all of Disney's four major divisions were flat to higher for the last fiscal year.
The firm's peers should be so lucky. Disney's balance sheet has remarkably little leverage when put up against the balance of the industry. Disney has been careful to continue to develop properties like ESPN and its animation studios which should serve it well as the recession spreads. A decision to cut costs in expensive divisions like the movie studio operation has paid off at the bottom line this year. His alliance with Apple's (AAPL) Steve Jobs in both animation and digital content delivery is a huge asset.

From the Visayan Daily Star (Jul 19): NPA own killing of RPA leader
Killings by the New People's Army in Negros continue despite the ongoing peace talks between the government and the National Democratic Front, with the rebel group yesterday claiming responsibility for the killing of a leader of the Revolutionary Proletarian Army-Alex Boncayao Brigade on July 8 in Salvador Benedicto, Negros Occidental.
Like many other victims of NPA atrocities, RPA-ABB leader Charlie Boliboli was linked by the Roselyn Pelle Command of the NPA to a series of crimes, such as murder, land grabbing, and harassment of farmers in Brgy. Bago, Salvador Benedicto.
Ka Cecil Estrella, spokesperson of the Roselyn Pelle Command in northern Negros, in a statement issued by the rebel group, further accused the victim of being a gun for hire of a family in Salvador Benedicto.
Last month, the same rebel group claimed responsibility for the killing of a sugar planter and his driver in Brgy. Minapasok, Calatrava, Negros Occidental. Another rebel group also owned up to the responsibility of killing a former Army soldier in Canlaon City, Negros Oriental.
Senior Supt. Rodolfo Castil Jr, officer-in-charge of the Negros Occidental Police Provincial Office, said yesterday that the Salvador Benedicto police is now readying the filing of charges against the identified assailants of Boliboli, adding that the documents only needed signatures of his family.
The Army's 3rd Infantry Division slammed the NPA for the continued killings of civilians.
Estrella justified the killing of Boli-boli, by claiming that he was a legitimate target of the revolutionary movement.
Because of the peace agreement between the RPA-ABB and the government, Estrella said the RPA has been active in counter-revolutionary activities and served as guides in military operations.
Castil said they have received reports that a private armed group, who used to be rebels, and the NPA merged, for monetary considerations, and raised the possibility that the killers of Lumayno in Calatrava and Boliboli may have been from the same group.
Estrella dinied claims that they were paid to kill Lumayno and Boliboli.

We encountered the garbage truck, a big orange dump truck and a cement truck. (Very unusual) Mara handles it, but it feels tentative in the saddle as they go by. We only stopped to photograph the height of the corn for you today. We rode a bit of the back trail to finish our ride in a relaxing way.

Women in the United States are waiting longer to have children than in the past, but they are still starting their families sooner - and ultimately having more children - than women in many other developed nations, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis.
The average age at which U.S. women first become mothers is 26.4 - comparable to the age at first birth among Latvian women but lower than in the 28 other nations in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) for which data were available. At the other end of the spectrum, South Korean women are the oldest when they first give birth (31.4 years, on average). On average, women in Greece, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Japan, Spain and Italy are also in their 30s when they become mothers.
Not only are U.S. women becoming moms sooner than many of their OECD counterparts, they are also ending their childbearing years with larger families - 2.2 children, on average. Of the 21 other OECD nations with available data, 20 have lower lifetime fertility, the only exception being Iceland. There, women at the end of their childbearing years have had 2.3 children, on average. In contrast, lifetime fertility dips below 2.0 in 17 other nations, going as low as 1.5 in Germany, Italy, Spain and Japan.
All told, the share of U.S. women at the end of their childbearing years who ever had a baby now stands at 86%, while 14% are childless. This is about the same as rates of childlessness among women in Norway, Slovenia, Sweden and France. In contrast, almost one-in-four German women (23%) end their childbearing years having never had a baby. Rates of childlessness reach 20% or more in Finland, Spain and Italy, as well. At the other end of the spectrum, only 9% of women at the end of their childbearing years in the Czech Republic have never given birth.

Newsletter TMT n° 11 – Year in review – 2016
Franklin's TMT practice is pleased to present the latest edition of its Newsletter, which focuses on the top 10 French TMT law developments of 2016. Last year was particularly eventful, especially in the field of personal data, with the long-awaited adoption of the European Data Protection Regulation. Data protection is therefore becoming an increasing focal point for all businesses, which would be well advised to keep up with this increasingly important area of law. We hope this newsletter will help you anticipate some of the legal issues your company may face.
I. European Regulation on Data Protection
The General Data Protection Regulation no. 2016/679 of April 27, 2016 ("GDPR"), replacing the 1995 Directive as of May 25, 2018, will dramatically reshape the rules governing the protection of personal data in the European Union.
On the one hand, it has increased the rights of individual data subjects, in particular by introducing the rights to data portability and erasure, and by establishing special protections for minors.
On the other hand, it has simplified administrative procedures for controllers by drastically reducing filing requirements and, for controllers active in several EU countries, by introducing a "one stop shop" whereby such controllers only need to directly deal with a single national supervisory authority.
In exchange for the simplification of administrative formalities, the regulation encourages the sector to regulate itself and imposes new obligations on businesses ("privacy by design", accountability, reporting security breaches, direct liability of data processors, etc.).
The European lawmakers have made data protection more effective in several ways. First, violators of the GDPR may face fines of up to 4% of their worldwide revenue. Second, data subjects will have enhanced means to enforce their rights. Finally, the territorial scope of the GDPR will be much wider: beyond the existing criterion (any processing of personal data in the context of the activities of an establishment of a controller or a processor in the Union), it will also apply to any processing of personal data of data subjects who are in the Union by a controller or processor not established in the Union, where the processing activities are related to: a) the offering of goods or services to such data subjects in the Union, whether or not a payment is required ("targeting"); or b) the monitoring of their behavior provided it takes place within the Union ("monitoring").
II. Privacy Shield
The European Commission's adequacy decision of July 12, 2016, enabled the Privacy Shield to replace the Safe Harbor framework (declared invalid by the ECJ in its Schrems ruling no. C-362/14 of October 6, 2015) as the principal means to facilitate personal data transfers from the European Union to the United States.
Privacy Shield certification is available to organizations that are subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Trade Commission or the US Department of Transportation and comply with Privacy Shield principles. In particular, Privacy Shield certified organizations are required to (i) develop a Privacy Shield compliant privacy policy; (ii) provide an independent recourse mechanism to investigate unresolved complaints at no cost to the individual; (iii) have in place procedures to verify compliance; and (iv) have a designated contact. Finally, the US government has agreed to no longer engage in indiscriminate mass surveillance of personal data (access is now subject to necessity and proportionality requirements).
However, the validity of the Privacy Shield has already been challenged in the EU, mainly on the grounds that it does not provide a level of protection of personal data equivalent to that required under the Directive. Therefore, this is a subject to be monitored closely over the next few years.
III. New law introduces privacy class actions in France
On March 17, 2014, France passed a law (no. 2014-344) introducing class actions to allow licensed, nationwide consumer organizations having received consumer complaints to bring suit on their behalf.
In 2016, a new law (no. 2016-1457) extended the scope of class actions to the protection of personal data. However, the only remedy available in such a class action is an injunction to stop violations of the French Data Protection Act, to the exclusion of any award of damages to the individual plaintiffs.
IV. Dynamic IP addresses may qualify as personal data
In its judgment dated October 29, 2016 (Patrick Breyer v. Federal Republic of Germany, C-582/14), the ECJ was called upon to rule on whether an IP address held by a website operator qualifies as personal data if that operator is able to access additional information held by a third party (in this instance, internet access providers) enabling it to identify the data subject.
The ECJ held that an IP address, whether dynamic or static, constitutes personal data if the person collecting it has the legal means to obtain additional information from a third party that enables it to identify the data subject. France's highest appellate court (Cour de Cassation) adopted this approach in its ruling no. 15/22595 dated November 03, 2016.
V. Regulation on online dispute resolution for consumer disputes
In parallel to Directive 2013/11/EU of May 21, 2013, on alternative dispute resolution for consumer disputes, which imposes new obligations on dispute resolution bodies (arbitration centers, ombudsmen, etc.), Regulation 524/2013 also of May 21, 2013, on online dispute resolution for consumer disputes came into force in January 2016. It introduced an online platform available in all official EU languages for handling disputes arising from online sales or service agreements between a business and a consumer residing in the European Union.
The platform receives complaints, informs traders, puts the parties in touch with each other so that they can designate a consumer dispute resolution body, submits the application to the designated body and communicates its verdict to the parties.
The regulation requires e-traders and online marketplaces to provide consumers with a hyperlink to the platform's website and to include information on this new procedure in their terms and conditions of sale or service. Once the designated body receives the complaint, it has 90 days to hand down its decision.
The procedure and enforceability of the dispute resolution decision vary depending on the body designated by the parties.
VI. Information security at the heart of French and EU regulations in 2016
In 2016, a series of regulations were enacted to reinforce the information security obligations of tech companies.
First, the European Union published the eIDAS Regulation (no. 910/2014) dated July 23, 2016, establishing security standards based on electronic signatures, electronic seals, electronic time stamps and mechanisms for issuing qualified certificates so that they have the same legal value as paper documents.
Then, the "NIS" Directive (no. 2016/1148) published on July 19, 2016, laid down the requirements to be met by (i) operators of services designated as "essential" by the Member States (banks, energy companies, etc.) and (ii) digital service providers (platforms, cloud service providers, etc.). In particular, these companies will have to take appropriate measures to prevent risks, mitigate the impact of any incidents and notify the relevant authorities of those that have "an actual adverse effect on the security of network and information systems".
Finally, on December 8, 2016, the French cybersecurity watchdog (ANSSI) published a security standard applicable to cloud service providers and called "SecNumCloud". For their security system to achieve "Essential Level" certification (which is the minimum certification level, an "Advanced level" is soon to be published), cloud service providers will have to meet access control, identity management, encryption, operational security and incident management requirements. In particular, they will be required to host and process data within the European Union.
VII. French law and jurisdiction apply to internet crime
New Article 113-2-1 of the French Criminal Code, introduced by law no. 2016-731 dated June 3, 2016, provides that any crime or offense committed on the Internet against a person residing in France is deemed to have been committed in France. Therefore, crimes committed outside France may fall under French criminal law and jurisdiction.
This new article partially departs from private international law and European law, under which the criterion of the victim's place of residence was only subsidiary to the "lex loci delicti" rule, i.e., the law of the place where the crime was committed governs.
It can be expected that foreign courts will not accept to enforce French judgments based solely on the victim's place of residence.
VIII. Forum selection clauses deemed unfair if the selected forum is too far away
In a ruling dated April 12, 2016, the Paris Court of Appeals struck down Facebook's dispute resolution clause selecting California as the forum for any litigation, on the grounds that it forced users to pursue their legal remedies in a particularly distant location and to incur increased costs that were disproportionate to the value of the contract. Users would thus be deterred from taking legal action, while Facebook had sufficient human and financial resources to defend any claim brought against it in France.
IX. Changes in French contract law
On October 1st, 2016, Order (ordonnance) no. 2016-131 came into force, bringing many changes to the law of contracts. For instance, the better-informed party to an IT contract now has a more stringent obligation to inform the other party, both before and after signing the contract, and if it fails to provide key information to the other party, the contract may be held null and void.
With a view to reducing inequality between parties, the Order has extended to all contracts, including those between businesses, the notion of legal unenforceability of a "contract term creating a significant imbalance in the rights and obligations of the parties" that already existed under consumer law.
Finally, the Order provides that (i) in the event of any change in unforeseen circumstances, (ii) inflicting an excessive burden on one party (iii) that did not agree to bear the risk of such a change, the parties may mutually agree to renegotiate or terminate the contract, or petition a court to adapt the contract. If the parties are unable to agree within a reasonable period, the judge may, upon the request of a party, modify or terminate the contract, at the date and under the terms decided by the judge.
X. Digital Republic Act
The French Digital Republic Act published on October 8, 2016, has overhauled the legal framework governing the digital economy. It promotes the dissemination of information and knowledge by opening up public data (as a rule, government files are now published in open, standard and reusable formats).
It also allows researchers whose work is 50% government-funded to publish their findings after 6 or 12 months and introduces the concept of general interest data (data relating to public service concession contracts, subsidies, etc.) to optimize its use.
The Digital Republic Act also strengthens citizens' rights over their data by beginning to enact the European Data Protection Regulation into French law (minors' right to be forgotten, "digital death", data portability, enhanced enforcement powers for the French privacy watchdog, etc.), by entrenching the principle of net neutrality and imposing on trading platforms stricter fair dealing and information obligations towards consumers. It also contains an "AirBnb" article pursuant to which individuals in strained areas who wish to rent their property via AirBnB may be required to register with their town council. Hospitality platforms are required to bar hosts from listing their primary residence for more than 120 days a year.
Finally, the Digital Republic Act contains a section on internet access for all, requiring operators to develop fiber-optic and mobile networks across the country and establishing a right for people who defaulted on their bills to have their internet connection maintained temporarily, among other less significant measures.

Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: camino, camino chaplaincy, Camino de Santiago, camino retreat, pilgrimage, retreats, walking
A couple of years ago I was lucky enough to lead a little Camino Retreat with a group of good friends. We spent a few days walking from Coruna to Santiago; the walking interspersed with reflections and silence; time and space for praying; and great and profound fun when we arrived in Santiago.
If you click here, you can read through the blog posts about it.
It was a wonderful time (and we had some apocalyptic winter weather). I have been retracing this a bit as I reflect on the Cistercian Way. The first part traced through by time spent with the religious communities of Caldey and Whitland; solitary days plodding through beauty. Walking and retreating nudged together. Inward and outward journeys coming together.
I am really glad to see that the Camino Chaplaincy is offering two Camino Walking Retreats in 2017 from O Cebreiro and from Barcelos. These will be led by Fr Gerard Postlethwaite. You can get full details of them here. I would really recommend them if you can go. It's a wonderful opportunity to get a deep experience of pilgrimage and to see what impact it can have on your life.
Fr Gerard writes: "The Camino journey is deeply personal to everyone who makes it, but there is also a value in receiving some direction. Inspired by spirituality of Saint Ignatius and the poems of TS Eliot, I very much look forward to leading these two walking retreats in 2017. I hope that, together, we can take our experience of the Camino to a deeper level".

text: This weekend communities across North Devon are hosting a series of events to mark the centenary of the end of World War One and pay tribute to the fallen. War memorials in towns and villages will see people gather from around 10.30am to attend the traditional remembrance service and two minutes silence at 11am, the time when the guns fell silent a century ago on the first Armistice Day. In Barnstaple, the events begin with the annual Childrens Remembrance Service at Rock Park on Friday, attended by local schoolchildren. The towns traditional Remembrance Sunday service will also be held at the Rock Park war memorial, during which commemorative benches honouring the fallen of WWI will be unveiled at the park and at the Square. The civic party will parade along Taw Vale and take the salute of the mayor, Councillor Ian Roome, and the Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Devon. This will be followed by a parade around the Square, through the High Street and to the parish church for a second service. Barnstaple Town Council has also launched a town wide remembrance trail of silhouettes as part of the nationwide There But Not There project, which will be launched at the Childrens Service. The trail, which will feature 10 silhouettes of British soldiers or Tommies - dotted around the town, will tell the stories of some of the people who made huge sacrifices during the war. The stories have been researched by students from Park Community School and Pilton Community College with the help of North Devon Museum and the North Devon Athenaeum. The silhouettes provided to the town council are part of the There But Not There project, which aims to place a representative figure for names on local war memorials around the country and into places where their absence would have been felt. Maps for the trail will be available in various locations around town, and will be available to download from Barnstaple Town Councils website. Barnstaple mayor Ian Roome said: Remembrance Sunday is an important day for us all to pay our respects to those who lost their lives in combat. We acknowledge sacrifices made by so many, including members of our own families. This year is particularly poignant as its the 100th anniversary of the end of World War One. I hope the people of Barnstaple will join me in marking the dedication of our armed forces in the past, present and future. Id like to encourage everyone to support The Royal British Legion and wear a poppy as it not only remembers lost lives, but also assists the servicemen and women of today.

Internet Geometry
Web page layout, in HTML, follows the CSS box model. This assumes that everything on the page, including the page itself, is a box with vertical and horizontal sides - paragraphs, images, sections, text, etc.
This works pretty well until you try to include vector graphics - circles, curvey lines, polygons - and effects like rotation and skews. So SVG has defined its own, more sophisticated layout model based on absolute positioning and coordinate transformations - CSS can't be used to place SVG elements.
The SVG layout model is usually considered unimportant in its own right - the real emphasis is on SVG's elements, like circle, line and polygon. But I think differently - it transforms the internet's geometry.
SVG layout transforms HTML
The SVG layout model provides the missing pieces to the HTML layout model - rotations, skews, scaling, and length units.
After all, I might want just SVG's geometry, and not its elements (circles, polygons, etc). Consider the following compound XHTML / SVG fragment, which shows rotated text. Not possible with just HTML!
< h1 svg:transform="rotate(90)" > Hello < /h1 >
And how about the following use
< img svg:transform="translate(5,0)" src="http://www2.blogger.com/image.jpg" width="50%" / >
which finally allows web designers to offset their elements by an absolute amount (five pixels along the x-axis) from a percentage.
SVG and HTML layouts can even work together:
< img style="left: 5px;" svg:transform="rotate(45)" src="http://www2.blogger.com/image.jpg" />
The renderer should rotate the image, draw the smallest possible horizontal box around it, then place the left hand side of the box five pixels from the margin.
Note that for now, Opera, Firefox and Safari are all using the SVG foreignobject element to control transformations, rather than allowing simple use of the attribute as above. This seems bizarre to me - all that should be necessary is a namespace declaration, as per the examples above.
For the future: CSS4 and curvilinear coordinates...CSS was designed to ensure independence of content from presentation. It's used to control HTML page layout.
For some reason, the SVG authors thought differently - there's no SVG CSS styles to control layout. But you can think of the svg:transform attribute as a super-powerful CSS positioning style. Adding it to CSS4 would introduce consistency and extra power for managing layout on the web.
And most proprietary graphics tools provide something that SVG can't - the ability to squish and distort images, like those curvy mirrors at the fairground. That's because SVG currently only allows linear coordinate transformations - i.e. rotations, translations, and skews.
More general curvilinear transformations could be added quite simply to SVG - for example, allowing radial coordinates. Apart from squishing images, this can be very useful to define paths - consider:< h1 svg:transform="x,y + sin(x)" > This text fits to a sine wave < /h1 >
which fits HTML text to a sine wave, by mapping the x axis to itself and the y axis to the wave. Today, you can't do this with HTML text, and to do it with SVG text you would have to calculate a series of points on the path and then interpolate between them.
Geometry is important
Basic geometry might be more than two thousand years old, but it's still the foundation of graphics. SVG transformations can provide extra impact to web pages and much more freedom in placing elements. What's needed is a joined-up approach that combines the best of HTML and SVG layouts.

A summary of things that caught my interest this week:
You have to have a pretty interesting take to make this list, but you have be interesting and mention *me* to be awarded the highly-coveted, life-changing, follower-attracting, TV-sitcom-contract-pending, top spot on this list. @RLMadMan does both with c'mon. Vogue!
The week's most awkward interview: Jim Mora channels his inner Bob Knight. Testy dude.
Bill Simmons @sportsguy33 asks "The NFC West has lost 58 percent of its games since 2002. Fifty-eight percent! Why should the division champ be grandfathered in every year like some drunk legacy kid at a country club?" and proposes a fascinating new divisional structure for the NFL.
In more serious news, a look at news coverage and distribution by @j2_whittington The #UTshooting and Why Social Media is Here to Stay. His blog is excellent; I encourage you to click around and sample several posts.
More on Social Media @WriterChanelle created this Awesome Chat-at-a-Glance calendar.
OK. Down to business with two good ones:
"What to Do When Your Prospects Don't Get It" and "When strengths attack"
We started with fun, let's end with some fun. Unapologetic, sophomoric humor. "Smokey this is not 'Nam, this is bowling. There are rules."

16X8 V50 Series | 5x4.50" bolt | 4.50" backspace
The Vintage 50 16x8-inch wheel is a throwback to timeless 10-spoke wheels used on the iconic 1967 and 1968 Shelby. While the wheels were original designed for use on the Ford Mustang platform, the V50 can be used on many Ford and Mercury vehicles using a 5x4.50-inch bolt pattern. The mixture of cast aluminum and machined aluminum finishes provides a beautiful contrast, while the 16x8 sizing offers an up-size option for classic Ford enthusiasts who want a more modern look.

Project Overview
Mazor Robotics is a leading innovator in spine surgery. For anyone who is familiar with their brand, you should know their amazing product, The Renaissance Guidance System, is just too cool to sit on a boring ol' site. They needed a website re-design that would really show it off. That's why they turned to WHOISCARRUS.
Upon project kick-off, WHOISCARRUS spent the day with Mazor to get a full understanding of what made them and Renaissance different.
Through the WHOISCARRUS Brand Bootcamp, we learned that Mazor Robotics is currently the only company offering a robotics solution for spinal surgery. We also found out their biggest hurdles of selling the Renaissance® Guidance System. Knowing this information, we were then able to establish a plan for supporting their sales team, as well as position the website to appeal to surgeons, hospitals and patients.
Once a plan was set in place, WHOISCARRUS was able to start getting creative. We established the visual language of the site through a custom moodboard, which we then leveraged as a guide in the design the entire site. At the same time, new information architecture documentation and wireframes were used to help establish the site structure and functionality.

Listen : Audio version of this article
In the present time, almost every company is using the potential of Machine Learning (ML) in one way or the other. Whether it is Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data or Machine Learning (MI), every enterprise is making sure they have the right resources and the technology to capitalize on the latest technology. Now a days, every firm now some or the other activities which are straightaway steered by machine learning.
Whether these activities are related to the decision makers, who use machine learning to get to better decisions or whether it is related to the sales or marketing executives of the firm. It won't be wrong if we say that more and more companies are now on the verge of becoming dependent on automating tasks, which are the resultant of the use of ML for high-quality and faster results. Cortana and Siri are the most prominent examples of the effective use of machine learning. It is because of ML, they are able to mimic human interactions.
Machine Learning, and specifically the deep learning algorithms led to more accuracy. For example, all the interactions with the AI based tools like Siri or Alexa are powered by deep learning algorithms. Therefore, they are more accurate and refined. Machine learning has the capability to improve the scenarios to capitalize on every products and services. Basically, the results are driven by ML, as it has the capacity to automate analytical model building. But, how do you think that has the role to play in improving the marketing strategies of the company? That's what we will figure out in this article.
What is the role of data and machine learning in marketing?
Marketing is all about the numbers. In order to prepare fantastic marketing plans, an expert has to track innumerable activities of numerous leads across a plenty of different mediums. One has to have the right type of insights from everywhere possible to make sure that the information is analyzed properly. Also, information these days is collected from a wide variety of different mediums, starting from mobile phones, apps, websites, IoT devices, forums, reports etc. However, marketers had to assimilate the huge volume of data to conceptualize a coherent marketing plan.
Planning is just not enough, marketers have to also execute the plans and track the performance. Also, they even have to cater to the emergencies or hurdles that may come midway. Considering all this, it would be perfect to say that Machine Learning and automation is exactly what the marketers want. However, marketers need to understand the core purpose of using machine learning and AI well before adopting them.
However, the good news is that modern marketing experts are making use of the emerging technologies like machine learning to improve their performance. Machine Learning helps the marketers in many ways. It helps them to understand their audience better. Also, it allows the marketing experts to deliver value-added engagement to the customers. This is based on the targeted study of the insights captured during the process. ML helps them to drive better performance, capture more leads and thus lead to better business performance.
How is ML helping marketers to target better?
Every marketer would love to known every little details that they can get about their customer or probable customer. And, the good news is that almost every bit of information that they require is now accessible. Whether a marketer wants to know how the new product's promotion is being perceived by the audience, or what is the interest level of the audience towards the old products. Everything that he or she wants to know can be acquired through powerful insights. From the most relevant to the minutest of detail like the groups of people who would want a product or service, who would like the new products or services most, when would the customer be interested in buying it or what is their reaction towards the competitor's product; all this can be easily captured. All these important targeted insights allow a marketing professional to perform better.
ML allows you to capture the interest of most lucrative leads
Though, there are a large bunch of people that can fall under the category of prospective leads, but there are some who should be prioritized. Now, this prioritization of leads should also be done based on certain insights captured form the study of the market. However, you should refrain from throwing a wide net to catch the fancy of a large volume of leads would not really mean more conversion or even more loyalty. In fact, you should make effective use of machine learning to only use your digital marketing investments for reaching out to the best of leads. Also, marketing experts should focus on long term successes, rather than just conversion from a particular ad.
For example, say your company have recently launched a new line of cold press juices. Now, you are planning to run ads for the same. Now, would you like your customers to only order for a new bottles or would you like them to subscribe? You would obviously want them to subscribe for the juices for a longer period. Therefore, here, your approach should be to first target fitness freaks or health conscious audience, who would be more interested in opting for the subscription.
Know how to use ML but not sure how to leverage it?
New technologies like Big Data and Machine Learning are useful for marketing purposes but there are certain apprehensions linked to the effective use of such technologies. The most common of them is that marketing professionals are not clear about how to use Big Data and ML successfully. Firstly, marketers have to realize that the main motive of Big Data consulting company is absolutely not to look for it, but what to do with it so that it turns out to be useful. Therefore, irrespective of the volume of data you hold, you need to hire ML experts, who know how to churn useful information from the Machine Learning algorithms. Also, you need to have the best of tools to make sure that ML is applied successfully. Only when you are decently equipped you can get targeted insights which will help you understand almost everything that you want to know about audience.
Marketing professionals are able to determine the exact leads who would like their products and services the most, and are also able to dive deep into the interest areas due to the effective use of machine learning. The marketers are able to identify the target audience, and hence, they are in a better position to conceptualize personalized communications. The use of ML in the field of marketing looks very bright, and it is only expected to grow in the near future.

So, I woke up this morning and several thoughts came to me.
The thought of:
I have so much to do on "ZOE BLOG".
What will I do this morning?
Where do I even start from?
Do you know what this was doing to me?
I was getting scared and feeling pressurized.
Even though I know there is so much to do, worrying will do more harm than good.
Rather, I should write my tasks down and get on with it one after the other.
Several things pressure does is:
To make you worry unnecessarily.
It makes you doubt yourself.
It makes a simple task difficult and you eventually end up not achieving much at the end of the day.
I remember sharing an image on my social media platforms, that reads: "we all need encouragement sometimes".
What of times where there is no one to encourage you? Everyone is busy with there daily activity: trying to survive.
Truth be told, we are responsible for our individual lives! Instead of waiting for people, we should help ourselves.
Maureen, you are strong and you can do this! You can achieve whatsoever you set your mind to do.
We live in a world filled with pressure; pressure at work, in school etc. Our friends, family, social media….everything we see around can make us doubt our abilities.
But, remember to always take a deep breathe, create a beautiful imagination, and tell yourself you can do this!
Much love,

Tenancy agreement dated 2/5/09 6 month term when expired agreed to monthly basis. Section 21 issued when moved in with expiry date 1/11/09. Tenant DSS payments always delayed/suspended usually due to red tape! Council pay on 4 weekly basis not same as rent date on agreement. Had enough of chasing tenant/council every month and always being out of pocket. Want to serve notice. Council guaranteed deposit under their scheme. Tenant wants to be re-homed by Council to a house and we want them out. Please advise best course of action. Many thanks.

Pavement - Quarantine The Past
Kurt Cobain once said "There are some pop songs I hate but I can't get them out of my head. Our songs also have the standard pop format: Verse, chorus, verse, chorus, solo, bad solo. All in all, I think we sound like The Knack and the Bay City Rollers being molested by Black Flag and Black Sabbath."
One of the pillars of Nirvana's success was that behind all the layers of fuzz were well crafted pop songs. Although not achieving the world domination that would eventually tear Nirvana apart were Pavement. They were also blessed with an exceptional gift for melody and song structure. Whilst they were never a household name to those who fell under their spell they held a quirky charm beyond that of their Seattle brethren.
Quarantine The Past is a collection of 23 of their finest undertakings, an almost mythical selection of songs which effortlessly seize the triad of quality, credibility and accessibility. Stephen Malkmus's nonsensical lyrics - "Well focus on the quasar in the mist / The kaiser has a cyst / And I'm a blank want list" - flow resplendently alongside their music. Whether it was their later Nigel Godrich produced radio friendly output or early rackets dug up from the bottom of their lo-fi allotment everything sparkles with their can't-quite-put-my-finger-on-it brilliance.
At their creative peak they would throw great tracks out as b-Sides or on John Peel session (criminally absent is the 1992 session track 'Circa 1762') that most bands would sell organs to have penned. Early classics like 'Debris Slide' or 'Box Elder' might seem noisy or simplistic on the surface, but melodies within melodies grow from the distortion and chaos. These are tracks that at twenty years old still keep giving more on every listen.
Moving on through their career their classic debut Slanted & Enchanted and its follow up Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain are well represented. 'Summer Babe', 'Here', 'Range Life' and 'Gold Soundz' are still ten-out-of-ten stone-cold classics; and like the Velvet Underground they may not have set cash registers on fire - but their influence on future generations of musicians is immeasurable.
Their later period may have been marred by disagreements within the band and creative disputes between Malkmus and guitarist Spiral Stairs but still produced its fair share of quality material. Strangely, the only inclusion from their final album Terror Twilight is 'Spit On A Stranger' – 'Carrot Rope' and 'Major Leagues' are both notable by their absence. For a band with an output as diverse as Pavement the 23 tracks manage to represent the various periods of their history. It would be churlish to continue making a long list of what isn't on here, especially as adding certain tracks would generate the impossible task of deciding what to remove to fit it on a single disc.
Quarantine The Past is one of the finest examples of a Best Of album, although it's only a toe in the water. To experience Pavement properly picking up each of their incredible albums is still the only way to do it.

This // is an abstract class: there may be many different kinds of heaps. This // class defines the functions that a heap must implement, and contains // infrastructure common to all heaps. class Generation; class BarrierSet; class GenRemSet; class Space; class SpaceClosure; class OopClosure; class OopsInGenClosure; class ObjectClosure; class SubTasksDone; class WorkGang; class FlexibleWorkGang; class CollectorPolicy; class KlassClosure; // Note on use of FlexibleWorkGang's for GC. // There are three places where task completion is determined. // In // 1) ParallelTaskTerminator::offer_termination() where _n_threads // must be set to the correct value so that count of workers that // have offered termination will exactly match the number // working on the task. Tasks such as those derived from GCTask // use ParallelTaskTerminator's. Tasks that want load balancing // by work stealing use this method to gauge completion. // 2) SubTasksDone has a variable _n_threads that is used in // all_tasks_completed() to determine completion. all_tasks_complete() // counts the number of tasks that have been done and then reset // the SubTasksDone so that it can be used again. When the number of // tasks is set to the number of GC workers, then _n_threads must // be set to the number of active GC workers. G1CollectedHeap, // HRInto_G1RemSet, GenCollectedHeap and SharedHeap have SubTasksDone. // This seems too many. // 3) SequentialSubTasksDone has an _n_threads that is used in // a way similar to SubTasksDone and has the same dependency on the // number of active GC workers. CompactibleFreeListSpace and Space // have SequentialSubTasksDone's. // Example of using SubTasksDone and SequentialSubTasksDone // G1CollectedHeap::g1_process_strong_roots() calls // process_strong_roots(false, // no scoping; this is parallel code // is_scavenging, so, // &buf_scan_non_heap_roots, // &eager_scan_code_roots); // which delegates to SharedHeap::process_strong_roots() and uses // SubTasksDone* _process_strong_tasks to claim tasks. // process_strong_roots() calls // rem_set()->younger_refs_iterate() // to scan the card table and which eventually calls down into // CardTableModRefBS::par_non_clean_card_iterate_work(). This method // uses SequentialSubTasksDone* _pst to claim tasks. // Both SubTasksDone and SequentialSubTasksDone call their method // all_tasks_completed() to count the number of GC workers that have // finished their work. That logic is "when all the workers are // finished the tasks are finished". // // The pattern that appears in the code is to set _n_threads // to a value > 1 before a task that you would like executed in parallel // and then to set it to 0 after that task has completed. A value of // 0 is a "special" value in set_n_threads() which translates to // setting _n_threads to 1. // // Some code uses _n_termination to decide if work should be done in // parallel. The notorious possibly_parallel_oops_do() in threads.cpp // is an example of such code. Look for variable "is_par" for other // examples. // // The active_workers is not reset to 0 after a parallel phase.

What do you think of the new layout and look of my blog???
I have the wonderful Nina over at The One Fantastical to thank for all of it, she sat online with me for hours and did the entire layout, graphics, and bottons for my blog! If she wasn't so far away I would bake her desserts for a week as a thank you!
And to think her doing my layout for me all started with me just wanting a wider 'posting' area! LOL I can't thank her enough for all her hard work that she put into making my blog look all pretty and sweet. Head on over to her blog and check out all of the great post that she has.

The Tower Smiles Dental Team

Meet our Dentists
Meet The Tower Smiles Dental Team
Tower Smiles Dental Assistants
Intra-oral or Level II dental assistants are multi-skilled health care professionals, possessing a diverse knowledge base. They effectively perform clinical and technical skills as well as support with administrative procedures. Their education and training, professionalism and experience coupled with provincial registration and licensing qualify them to perform a variety of supportive and direct patient care procedures.
Intra-oral dental assistants prepare for and support patients for treatment by practicing universal precautions and infection control. They attend to the patient's comfort and support in updating patient health histories.
Certainly, the role of the dental assistant is one that makes a big difference in the high quality of patient care that is provided by the team of dental assistants at Tower Smiles.
Tower Smiles Dental Hygiene Team
Along with the dentist, our dental hygienists help to ensure that your gums and the bone around your teeth are as healthy as possible. Healthy gums help to maintain good overall health.
Perhaps the single most common group of tasks associated with the profession involves preventive dental care. This involves the removal of hard deposits around your teeth. Along with cleaning, the hygienist often applies sealants to your teeth to prevent them from decay, root planing to decrease bone loss, and educates the patient in general oral hygiene.
Tower Smiles Dental Administration Team
Our dental administrator team handles the day-to-day office administration for Tower Smiles. In addition to receptionist duties, such as scheduling appointments and answering the telephone, our dental administrators are familiar with insurance coding and billing, dental terminology, and basic dental procedures.
Our administrators also excel at greeting our guests and making you feel welcome. Our administrative team has strong communication skills, and they will find the answers to all your questions!
At Tower Smiles Dental we are always welcoming new patients! No referral is required.
Call Us at (403) 262-3826 or (403) 265-3146 to book your consultation appointment today!
