Venous thrombosis is the third-ranking cardiovascular disease following only coronary heart disease and stroke [1]. Venous thrombosis has an overall yearly incidence of less than 1 in 1000 [2]. A middle-aged female patient without relevant medical history was admitted with syncope and pancytopenia to the critical care unit of Cairo University hospitals. Viral profile and renal and hepatic functions were normal, as well as bone marrow aspirate. Abdominal ultrasound followed by computed tomography of the abdomen showed moderate splenomegaly with no focal splenic lesions for clinical laboratory correlation and portal hypertension with portal vein cavernoma (mostly an organized old thrombosis during pregnancy) for color Doppler evaluation, which confirmed the diagnosis. Thrombophilia screening showed rare multiple thrombophilic genetic defects.

Student works to promote eye care health in Haiti
Liberty University senior Sadie Plasterer took her Health Promotions training to Haiti last month through the first Health Promotions internship offered by Humbly I Serve (HIS) Vision. The global nonprofit organization works to contribute to the socioeconomic growth of Haiti through an eye care education program and a sustainable eye care business model that trains locals as opticians.
Throughout her month-long internship in Cap Haitian, Haiti, Plasterer helped coordinate classes on eye health, provided eye screenings, and worked with the HIS Vision Eye Health Workers Program (EHWP) to ensure proper eye health education.
|Liberty University senior Health Promotions major Sadie Plasterer worked with HIS Vision to provide eye care education in Haiti.
"My science and health classes at Liberty granted me a solid foundation to be able to journey to Haiti and complete the expectations and job responsibilities given," Plasterer said. "Liberty prepared me in more ways than I expected for my internship. Being able to utilize my education in understanding the surrounding communities was the most vital tool that I was equipped with."
Plasterer described the city she stayed in as a "restlessly busy" area and said she witnessed the poverty Haitians face daily. This reality made Plasterer thankful for the modern-day conveniences, such as working toilets, hot water, and functioning HVAC systems, that weren't available in Haiti, even as temperatures consistently remained above 90 degrees.
"I do however miss my family from Haiti," Plasterer said of the people she grew close to during her trip. "They truly impacted my life and will never be forgotten."
- Community health education specialists are needed across the professional landscape to service businesses, schools, hospitals, nonprofits, and government departments, and Liberty's Health Promotion program is meeting this need. Students are prepared for the national Clinical Health Education Specialist examination, which certifies them as a health specialist.

A visually stunning exercise of folk and witchcraft is a hypnotizing dark tale about love, but it exhausts more often than entertains.
"November" is an adaptation of a novel by Andrus Kivirähk. Lina (Rea Lest) is a young farmhouse girl, who is madly in love with Hans (Jörgen Liik). However, his heart beats for the baroness, who just came to the village and moved into an astonishing mansion, along with her strange father. Lina's only chance of turning the tides of Hans' affection is using witchcraft and magic to influence his feelings.
Dark screen. A clanking sound foreshadows the appearance of what seems to be a self-sustainable tripod walking machine, constructed from shed tools. The strange living creation steals a cow, then turns into a helicopter to carry the animal and finally lands at its owner's farmland, asking in a metallic voice for more work.
This creature's name is Kratt – an impish spirit that the villagers trade for their obedience (or soul) to a devil that resides at the crossroads in the woods (and totaly looks like a Tim Burton creation).
My mind was blown away after these few minutes, right at the beginning of "November". I hope you can understand the reason why. Apart from Kratt, which appears in more forms than the one I've just described, the villagers can also summon their dead relatives in a form of a occult ritual, talk to witches and turn into animal.
The point is that magic and witchcraft are omnipresent.
"November" is based of a book, which – as I found online among the comments of its fans – is a "bit" wicked, hard-to-follow piece of literature. Sounds about right, because the more "November" shows, the more ambiguous it gets and the less sense it makes plot-wise.
The script, written by the director Rainer Sarnet, tries to glue together an enormous amount of characters, subplots and concepts. Lina and Hans are more or less an orbit for a mass of particles that dance around them. Apart from her fatal love, Lina is "sold" to an affluent man by her father, summons a witch and even turns into an animal. Her subplot alone is enough to tell a full ninety minutes of script. At least to me, because Sarnet thought otherwise.
The entourage of the leading couple is also involved in numerous episodical plot lines that complicate things a lot. To enumerate all of the characters, that are given their five minutes, paints quite a challenge. This rabble, although nothing but the story's background, consumes a lot of director Rainer Sarnet's attention. The consequence is easy to forecast – tiny loose ends multiply.
"November" is a pot, where ideas are inadvertently overflowing – a mix of shorts that for reasons unknown are merged together.
At times, Sarnet looks for humor (at which he succeeds 50/50 to be fair), but then two minutes later throws an artillery of horror gimmicks at his audience or a heavy drama punchline. The more diverse these scenes become, the less powerful is the film's aesthetic and rhythm.
Lamentably so, because "November" is an impeccably filmed story. Sarnet has an incredible vision to share with the audience – through the dark and white palettes, the Estonian countryside is a land of another world, straight out from a fairy tale. The cinematography is gorgeous and squeezes all of the juices out of the film's moody, folksy atmosphere. The music by a Polish composer Jacaszek adds a lot of the oneiric swagger too, imbuing the film with a unique atmosphere.
Despite the glamorous technicalities, "November" was a tiring experience to me. The creativity here is praiseworthy, but the complete lack of order causes this strange indie darling to be a 2-hours long, intrepidly auteur effort. However, bold directing is one thing, but being effective and consistent in it is different.
November (2017)
Dir. Rainer Sarnet
Hate Grade: 5.5/10

Hype Magazine Cover Story
LONG - AWAITED HOMECOMING - It's been a long time coming. The Boxtones - possibly the hardest working band in the UAE - finally release their new album, Home, this month. And the buzz is palpable.
A Dubai-based FZE where the staff regularly work 80-hour weeks, are required to perform two completely disparate roles and are "always skint" might not attract many job applicants. Fortunately, in the case of five-piece rock band The Boxtones, the entire workforce (guitarist and vocalist Gary Tierney and his sister - drummer Gill - who are the managing partners; Gary's fiancée, vocalist Louise Peel; Gill's fiancé keyboard player Will Janssen; and bassist Patrick - or Pat as everyone calls him - Thibault) are happy to slog their guts out chasing their dreams.
That's why, three years ago, they decided to set up in the UAE as an official business, shunning the traditional cover band route of playing three-month residencies in a single hotel, concentrating instead on one-off corporate shows with some regular weekly slots, and focusing on recording original material, based mainly on Gary's back catalogue of around 300 songs he's been writing since his teens.
Their debut album, 2013's In The Pockets Of Clowns, was a bombastic rock record, which showcased the influence of Gary's favorite band, Biffy Clyro, and the high energy of The Boxtones' live performances. "Everything was turned to 11," Gary says of their self-produced debut.
It did very well (for a band in the Middle East), reportedly selling a few thousand copies, and it led to gigs where they got to perform their original material. It also got the attention of Universal Music's regional office, and in March 2015 The Boxtones joined a select (i.e., almost non-existent) group of non-Arab-pop Middle East-based artists to be signed to a major label. November 25 sees the release of their second LP, Home.
Hype meets up with The Boxtones over lunch at Dubai's Hard Rock Café, where they're performing a corporate gig for Bose later in the evening. The band are, as usual, pretty shattered. They got home from a gig about 2am and were up around 8am to soundcheck. They might (after a couple of hours for this interview) be able to snatch a quick nap. Or at least, Gary says, "have a shower and throw on some fresh clothes". In The Boxtones' schedule, that's a luxury.
Aside from the hours spent on music (Gary estimates they've played around 530 gigs over the last two years), each band member plays a crucial role in keeping the business going: Gary's the manager, Louise "looks after the blogs", Gill handles planning and Will does marketing and is "the social media guy". Pat is the technical director, responsible for all their gear. Thankfully his engineering skills have improved since his childhood when, tinkering with his remote-controlled car, a rocket engine and a tank of fuel "to see if I could make a bomb", he found that yes, he could. And inflicted third-degree burns on a friend in the process. "We were playing with stuff we shouldn't have," he says with admirable understatement.
The Boxtones maintain a cover-song repertoire of around 600 tracks. Between them, the five members have experience of a dizzying array of genres, including rock, metal, choral music, jazz, funk, blues, punk, Scottish Highland music, country and two different ABBA tribute bands. Will takes the prize as 'most versatile', at one time holding down positions in a few death metal bands as well as a job as a church organist - "Black metal by night, white metal by day," he says. Chances are, Will claims, "even if we don't know the song you request, we probably know one by that artist. Even a Justin Bieber song. We don't want to, but it's there just in case."
Oh, and if that doesn't sound like enough to keep them all busy, Gary and Louise have Louise's ten-year-old-daughter, Rosie, to care for. All in all, each band member must be delighted if they ever manage the recommended eight hours sleep a night.
They take this workload in their stride, though, and there's a clear camaraderie between all five band members. That might be expected given the familial and romantic ties but that doesn't always play out well for bands, as Fleetwood Mac fans will know.'Banter' is an important part of Boxtones life. Gary, Gill and Louise are all Scottish and enjoy the daft, gentle fun-poking that's characteristic of their homeland. Will and Pat are both Canadian (and both joined the band just three years ago, five years after it was formed, and even longer after Gill, Gary and Louise first started playing together in a wedding band in Edinburgh). But Pat's French-Canadian, which makes quite a difference, apparently. "Pragmatic", is how he describes himself. "But they probably see me more as a pessimist." Has he got used to the Scottish sense of humour? "They think they're funny," he says, face completely deadpan. "I don't think any of us are funny." But Louise suggests Pat can be a comedian. "When we interviewed Pat for the band, he was so serious. But the first night he nicked my shoes and was prancing about in my high heels so that king of broke the ice."
Louise says it's "hilarious" that she and Gary ended up together. "The first time we met, I did not like him," she says. "He was so rude. There were a couple of things where I was like, 'He's so arrogant.' Little did I know..."
Gary can sympathise. "I'm a pain in the butt, really," he says. Living and working together can be stressful. "We can rip each others' head off sometimes," Gary says. "But it's that 'opposites attract' thing. And it works." There are big pay-offs too. Being able to share the experience of signing a record deal is one example Louise gives. "And then when we do the big gigs, all the nerves before and then the elation afterwards, it's amazing to share that side of it." The couple are now ten years in, so, says Louise, smiling, "We've given up all the niceties."
Will and Gill, on the other hand, were rarely in the same city for the first few years of their relationship, when Will was in another band. "When Will first joined The Boxtones, Gary warned me that 'Things will change now you're working together.' but they haven't," says Gill. "He's my best mate." Gary's message to Will was slightly different, the keyboard player remembers. "The first thing he said was, 'You break her heart, I'll break your legs.'" He laughs. "I haven't forgotten that."
It would be easy to assume that Pat can feel like a fifth wheel, he knows. "There's always that spoken or unspoken 'What about Pat?' thing." he says. "But it's not difficult or weird. I don't feel left out. When we go to Bahrain, to Gary and Gill's parents, I feel welcome. They're like my adoptive parents in the Middle East. I really have that feeling I'm part of the family."
It was the chemistry in the current Boxtones line-up that convinced Gary this could be the group to make his songs work. The new album - their first major label release - will be the real measure of whether he was right. This time around they weren't working from Gary's old demos, instead taking, Louise says, "a fresh, organic approach from scratch". Louise has written lyrics for many of the tracks, and while Gary remains the principal songwriter and the man with final say on creative decisions ("Every band needs a Hitler"), there's been a greater collective input into the songwriting process. "We worked to our strengths," Will says.
They also worked with a producer for the first time - Elvis Garagic of Dubai-based Soundstruck Studios. It was tough, Gary admits, for him to accept advice from an outside party at first. "It was hard to give up the reins. As a songwriter, I'm a bit bossy, but it was an exciting dynamic. We learnt a lot from Elvis."
Elvis says it was "an honour and a privilege" to work with the band, adding: "A lot of the time, [my] input was bare minimum." But the band are adamant he did far more. "He pulled things out of us that we couldn't have done ourselves," says Louise, and they refer to Elvis as 'The sixth Boxtone'. he stripped back their songs to give the album the accessible appeal both The Boxtones and Universal were aiming for. "In [this case]. the vocal had to have room. So, without compromise, whatever comes in, you have to make sure it works with the vocal," Elvis explains. "If it doesn't work... retirement."
'Retirement' came most often for Gill's drum parts, many of which were drastically pared down from the demo versions. "It was weird not to drum as much," she says. "We'd rehearsed the tracks so much and that was the sound in our minds. But Elvis was like, 'You don't need that big fill there' or 'That's too complicated!' I'm not very good at recording at the best of times - I don't have a lot of patience for it. So I was like, 'What do you mean? That's my favourite part.' It was definitely simplified and pulled back a lot. It might not be as much fun for me to play but listening to it as a final product, it worked for the songs."
Working "for the songs" is something of a mantra when The Boxtones discuss Home. There are hints that Gary feels the typical songwriter's misgivings at deliberately targeting a more commercial sound. At one point in the studio while laying down their 'winter' song (elsewhere in the world it would be their Christmas song), he slapped a hand to his head and proclaimed: "Oh God! We're turning into bloody Coldplay." But all five band members stress there's still a strong rock element to Home - first single Against The Odds backed up that claim - and they're very happy with how the album's turned out. It's certainly more varied and less hectic than Pockets, with a few ballads and even an EDM track in second single City of Mirrors, on which - although Gill can rap, as those who've witnessed her take on No Diggity will testify ("The things we do for covers," she sighs) - the band got UAE-based rapper Two Tone to feature. "None of us are into rap," Louise says. "But the song needed it and his rap is awesome."
The album's been well received by Universal too; they apparently identified six or seven possible singles at the listening session. And while label approval is less important to The Boxtones than to many signed bands, since they continue to self-fund to retain a greater level of creative control, the band were all relieved with the results of the playback. "We thought it was good but you don't know because you're in your own little bubble," says Louise. "So to get that feedback from Universal was great."
Ultimately, their hope is that Home will be another step towards making their living entirely from their original material. "That's the idea," says Louise. "But we have to survive. People think that when you join a label, that's it. But we've had to push and push."
Gary agrees, "We're still working hard," he says. "The thing the label does is open doors that a lot of people don't get access to." So, they're aware it may take some time before they can completely drop the corporate work. Which is fine. "Originals are what we want to do," Gary says. "The covers are how we make our living. And we throw that money back into the band."
For now, they're just looking forward to the reaction to the new album when it drops. "It's way cooler than what we've done before because it's good songs, not just clever or technical songs," adds Gary. "I'm not that interested in money really. I mean, it's always nice to get a pay cheque but I just want people to listen to the tracks. We love people to tell us what they think; that's the coolest thing. You can feed off that," He pauses. Thinks for a second. "It's terrifying too."
The Boxtones' new album, Home, is out November 25 on Universal Music MENA. City of Mirrors featuring Two Tone is out now.

Cebu City workers, officials to get midyear bonus
CEBU, Philippines — Almost 5,000 regular and casual employees of the Cebu City government have a reason to rejoice as their midyear bonus is set to be released within the week.
Assistant City Administrator Annabeth Cuizon said the executive department is now processing the release of the midyear bonus of City Hall employees and elected officials.
"The midyear bonus is equivalent to their one month salary," she told The FREEMAN.
Cuizon said she has started signing the payrolls of the employees yesterday.
She said some of the employees have received their bonus yesterday, while other employees will receive their bonus within the week.
Under the budget circular of the Department of Budget and Management, the bonus of government employees and officials will be given to the employees not earlier than May 15.
City Budget Officer Marietta Gumia said the city allocated P103.8 million for the midyear bonus, which was included in this year's Annual Budget.
All City Hall departments and offices are required to submit complete documents to the Office of the City Accountant before the release of the bonus.
Only those casual workers who have rendered four months of service are entitled to receive the bonus, meaning those who were hired from October last year to January this year.
Gumia said employees who have not received satisfactory rating from the department heads will not also receive the bonus.
She added that the satisfactory rating is required as it is the policy of the current administration.
As for the employees who have low ratings, she said the bonus is yet to be determined. — KBQ (FREEMAN)

Acting President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, said on Thursday that people making hate speeches would henceforth be treated as terrorists.
He spoke in Abuja during the National Economic Council (NEC) Retreat on National Security.
The retreat was attended by states' Governors and some Ministers.
Such hate speeches, according to the Acting President, are categorised as acts of terrorism under the law.
Nigeria, he said, has been beclouded with incitements capable of jeopardizing peaceful co-existence in the country.
He said: "Please permit me a comment on hate speech. The Federal Government has today drawn the line on hate speech. Hate speech is a specie of terrorism.
"Terrorism as it is defined popularly is the unlawful use of violence or intimidation against individuals or groups especially for political ends. The law, that is the Terrorism (Prevention) Act 2011 (as amended), defines terrorism as inter alia, an act which deliberately done with malice which may seriously harm or damage a country or seriously intimidate a population.
"The intimidation of a population by words, by speech is an act of terrorism and this government intends to take this matter very seriously. As I have said, we have drawn a line against hate speech. It will not be tolerated, it will be taken as an act of terrorism and all of the consequences will follow it."
He also called on all business, religious and political leaders to condemn hate speech in the strongest possible terms at all times.
Osinbajo Talks Tough: Hate Speech now Act of Terrorism
Acting President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, said on Thursday that people making hate speeches would henceforth be treated as terrorists.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. - As Irma continues to weaken, the storm's wind speed decreases too.
But the storm's destruction around Florida, and along its path, are unmistakable.
#HurricaneIrma damage in a nearby neighborhood in Sanford, FL. @whnt pic.twitter.com/uTz90F1wKw
— Sarah Macaluso (@SarahMacaluso) September 11, 2017
This includes downed trees.
As rain and winds picked up in the Tennessee Valley Monday evening, we talked to arborist Marc Byers about the risks to Huntsville yards.
Byers is Huntsville's Forestry/Horticulture supervisor. He works with the Green Team to administer the tree ordinance and often cleans up debris from trees on city property after storms. He has worked as the city arborist for 10 years, and had a nursery before that. Byers knows trees.
"When trees are in leaf, we have more damage than in winter because the leaves act as sails," he explained.
We asked him what may be a sign of a "problem tree" or vulnerable tree to take care of before the next storm, so you can protect your own property, or even your life, from falling branches.
He said the major damage is from issues structurally related to trees: poor root structure and poor branching structure.
"Primarily where we see damage is when we have two larger branches with a poor union and they split, and a large branch falls," he said.
He said declining root structure, including recent cuts to roots, limited root volume, and other issues can predispose a tree to blow over. But it may be hard to recognize.
"The history of a tree, where a sewer was repaired or a new water line was run, irrigation trenches, new concrete patios, those types of things, damage root systems. But it often takes years for that to affect the tree and it starts to come down."
A tree's root system can also be compromised if it's the last one standing after you have cut down the others around it, said Byers.
Decay is another thing that can make a tree vulnerable.
"Look for fungal growths on the tree. Mushrooms, essentially, growing out of the side of a tree, are a bad sign," he explained. "That can indicate interior fungal decay, which makes a tree weaker."
If you see these issues in your trees, Byers said you don't need to be immediately alarmed. He explained that whether a tree is hazardous depends on the amount of things it could fall on, or near. He said often this is site-dependent.
While there's not much you can do while what's left of Irma rolls through, he said you can take precautions before other storms this season including calling an arborist.
If you are considering taking a tree down, Byers recommended weighing this: "Is it worth the cost versus the potential damage the tree might cause?"
If you do decide to have a tree trimmed or removed by a professional, Byers said you should make sure the person you choose is licensed and insured.

In the world of stationary batteries, terminology is extensive. There are literally hundreds of terms associated with batteries. It is nearly impossible to know and understand them all. I've boiled down the list to what I believe are the 17 most important terms and defined them for you today.
- Ampere-hour rating: The total capacity of a battery or cell assigned by the manufacturer. It is specific to a constant current discharge, electrolyte temperature, end-of-discharge voltage, and duration.
- Battery: A combination of two or more cells connected together electrically to produce energy. The required operating voltage and current levels are achieved by connecting the cells either in series or parallel or both.
- Battery monitoring system: A system installed permanently for measuring, storing, and reporting battery operating parameters.
- Charge controller: An electrical control device that regulates battery charging by voltage control and/or other means.
- Conductance: Measured in Siemens or Mhos, it is a measurement of the batteries electronic and ionic components to determine how much energy a cell or battery can supply.
- Float voltage: The voltage that a battery is maintained at after being fully charged. It works to maintain capacity by compensating for self-discharge.
- Intercell connector (strap): A low resistance current path, either a bar or cable, used to connect cells in series or parallel.
- Internal ohmic measurement: A measurement of the electronic and ionic conduction paths within a cell or battery that provides state of health information. Output is expressed in terms of conductance, impedance, resistance, or admittance.
- Parallel strings: The parallel connection of two or more battery strings to achieve higher currents without using cells with larger ampere-hour ratings.
- Post: A type of terminal used for connections on a cell or battery.
- State of charge (SOC): It is the measurement of the stored or remaining capacity in a cell or battery expressed as a percentage of its fully-charged capacity.
- State of health (SOH): A measurement of the general condition of a cell or battery that helps determine the remaining service life.
- Temperature compensation: A correction factor based on the temperature deviation from 25°C/77°F. Employing this temperature correction factor in the percentage of reference value gives the technician an adjusted reading that eliminates the temperature effect on conductance and prevents improper interpretation of the results.
- Thermal runaway: A condition that is caused by the battery producing more internal heat than the battery can dissipate. If a cell or battery is left in this condition it can cause catastrophic events.
- Uninterruptible power supply (UPS): A backup power source that kicks in during any period when the normal power source is lost.
- Valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) cell: A type of lead-acid rechargeable cell that is sealed. The only part that is not sealed is a valve that opens to the atmosphere when the internal pressure in the cell exceeds atmospheric pressure by a pre-selected amount. Hydrogen and oxygen gas recombination occurs inside the container to produce water that keeps the cells hydrated.
- Vented lead-acid (VLA) cell: A type of lead-acid cell in which the products of electrolysis and evaporation are allowed to escape to the atmosphere as they are generated. It is not sealed like the VRLA.
Which battery terms to do think are missing from the list? Sound off in the comments below.

Sometimes less is more and this Monday night favorite is hands down one of the simplest! My favorite part of an egg roll is the middle and by eliminating the won ton wrapper, you've got the perfect gluten free dinner that is low carb but high flavor.
1 bag of Jimmy Dean turkey sausage crumbles
1 bag of plain coleslaw mix
1 clove of garlic minced
1-2 tsp of ginger minced
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
1/4 cup of chopped green onion
In a medium-heated wok, add your turkey sausage. It's already fully cooked, so it'll only take about 5 minutes to warm up. Add the bag of coleslaw, ginger, garlic and soy sauce. Let the coleslaw cook down. You'll start to see it soften and change consistency and color. For me, the longer it sits the better! After about 10 minutes, test your cabbage mix to determine if it's soft enough for you. When ready, add the remaining ingredients and stir until everything is mixed equally. Turn off the heat and let sit for another 5-10 minutes. That's it!

What You Need to Know to Start Evaluating Your Impact
Media measurement evaluates the effectiveness of marketing investment across multiple platforms in driving activity around a brand—and ultimately return on investment (ROI) or return on ad spend (ROAS).
You may not realize that media measurement has been around since the radio broadcasts of the 1930s. According to Brent Merritt of Metric Communications, the need for financial support from advertisers during the Great Depression lead to radio broadcasters creating methods to gauge the size of their audience.
This need to measure audiences by size has persisted through modern day online advertising, as likes and views have dominated the media measurement conversation.
Now, you don't hear much about the size of the audience. It is more about quality than quantity and with that foot traffic to physical stores is a key metric even in this digital era. With so much data available on consumer behavior and preferences, both online and offline, brands have no excuse about building deeper relationships with their target audiences.
If you feel overwhelmed with how to start adding attribution to your marketing strategy, I've put together some basics you need to know to get started.
Attribution is basically the measure of cause-to-effect, tracking how certain user actions lead to a desired goal. In a marketing campaign, this might look like a social media post driving a customer into a store, a billboard that drives eCommerce sales or an online search ad that drives visits to a store and then back to online for the final purchase.
If you want to prove that your marketing is working and identify more effective and efficient campaigns then attribution is critical to your overall marketing strategy.
Online vs. Offline Attribution
Online attribution is the digital marketer's bread and butter, looking through the data to see which emails, social media posts, or banner ads lead to online sales.
Offline attribution is a specific area of attribution driven more by geographic locations than by digital pageviews. This lends insight to localized needs and key locations to expand a brand's market share.
Footfall attribution falls under the offline umbrella, focusing particular attention on in-person foot traffic (or visits) to physical store locations through online-to-offline attribution. This measurement is especially important for certain industries that are still reliant on offline purchases at brick and mortar locations. Footfall attribution is also a way to evaluate how competitors may be seeing their fair share of market activity and allow a marketer to strategize to steal share from those competitors or learn how to better engage with customers.
How Media is Measured
Media measurement companies use a few different methods to evaluate attribution.
Lift analysis compares customers who saw a specific ad prior to performing an action with customers who acted without seeing the ad first. This helps marketers assess how the campaign itself made a difference in behavior.
Dwell time measures how long customers spent at a location before performing, or not performing, a certain action. Dwell filters make sure that people passing by and employees aren't included in the footfall analysis by keeping the time measured within certain parameters. This is important to make sure the data is accurate.
Knowing Where Your Data Comes From
With all marketing now having data dependence and the tidal wave of regulation pending in the United States around privacy standards for consumer data, it is very important that marketers evaluate their data vendors carefully.
As audiences become more aware of how companies use their data, customers are now demanding a certain amount of privacy. First-party, privacy-compliant, and opt-in data are all terms you should be aware of when looking at media measurement companies and how they acquire data.
In addition, beware of biased sources. A number of media measurement companies are partnered with or owned by media companies that want media measurement companies to sell their product to their clients. Look for impartial or agnostic measurement tools in order to stay above the fray and incorporate unbiased reporting for your media investments.
If you'd like to learn more about adding media measurement into your marketing strategies, reach out today to speak with a Freckle sales representative.

Festival de Cannes 2014 – Beauty Rendezvous with Dessange and Dior
How do major beauty salons, like Dessange and Dior, relocate to Cannes? Rendezvous in their private showrooms with just two catchwords: beautify and cosset the stars…Includes interviews with Stéphane Bodin, Hairstylist and Violette, International Make-up Designer for Dior.The Festival de Cannes remains the star-studded event where appearances are everything. After selecting a dress, stars must also be coiffed and made up. How do they prepare their beauty looks and especially how do major salons relocate to Cannes? Our first rendezvous is with Dessange, major partner of the Cannes Film Festival for 30 years.
And the four stand-out styles extolled by Dessange – faux wavy bob, static extensions, twisted ponytail or sleek minimalism – emerge every night as the top trends on the red carpet.
After hair, the second important step is make-up. And the Dior house does everything in its power to cosset stars in their pop-up salon.
Stéphane Bodin:
A team of 20 hairstylists are at the actress' disposal for the duration of the festival. From very early in the morning, at around seven thirty or eight o'clock, especially when they have photo calls and press conferences for the competing films, as a general rule when you are put in charge of an actress, it is for the entire day because there is the red carpet in the evening and also lots of meetings that build up, schedules change every hour or thirty minutes according to all the whims of everybody here. This year, I came up with four fashionable red carpet trends.
In Cannes, anything goes, even quite original hair styles; if you can't do it here, then you can't do anywhere but I find that the main trend is a return to the beautiful, simple and natural.
The Dior suite is like a hidden beauty paradise because you feel very much sheltered from the outside world; Cannes is full of people, non-stop flashes and endless pressure and so you arrive in this cosy nest where you are pampered, beautified and comforted so that you can get your nails done as well as your make-up. Sometimes we also have hairstylists who come to perfect the stars' hair so a woman can have a full beauty service.
The women that we look after want to be glamorous. Cannes is the place where femininity is celebrated and every pleasure is permitted so if you want to paint your lips in an extremely strong, and intense shade of red then you can, that's what the festival is all about.

The government of Kano state says Governor Abdullahi Ganduje ordered the immediate renovation of two major stadiums in the state because of the 2019/2020 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season.
Spokesman for the Kano State Sports Commission, Abbati Sabo, made this known while reacting to claims that Ganduje ordered the closure of the stadiums to disrupt the campaign rally of the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in the northwest state.
President Muhammadu Buhari of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) had last week used the Sani Abacha Stadium for his reelection campaign.
According to a report by an online newspaper "The Cable", that Atiku's rally is scheduled for February 10 while the renovation is expected to end on 18 February.
What to renovate
We gathered that the proposed general renovation in the stadiums in the APC-controlled state reportedly included the installation of the new scoreboard, the running track and provision of sources for steady water supply to all parts of the stadiums.
But a government official told the online newspaper that the shutdown of the Sani Abacha Stadium situated at Kofar Mata and Kano Pillars Stadium at Sabon Gari was intended to frustrate the campaign rally of the PDP.
However, Sabo denied the claim.
He said: "As far as I am concerned, this directive doesn't have a political undertone. The state government was advised to renovate the stadium, ahead of the NPL season."
"The government had now heeded to the advice and ordered for the commencement of the project in order to have smooth conduct of the league. As you can see, the facility is in need of repair and the government has now answered the call for its renovation."
Impact of Kano on Nigeria's general election
Kano is likely to play a major role in the outcome of this month's presidential poll as, according to the Independent National Electoral Commission (Inec), the pyramid state has the highest number of registered voters for the 2019 elections. More than five million people registered to vote in the state.
Buhari vividly defeated Goodluck Jonathan in the 2015 elections with a margin of nearly two million votes.

"After being in our home for 6 months we are thrilled by the efficiency, standard of finish and attention to detail evident in our home. The process
from start to completion was handled in a professional, but personal way. Our home works for us even better than we hoped for!
The decision to work with Griff Morris and the amazing team at Solar Dwellings was definitely the best choice we could have made. A stroke of genius on our part!

Answer by Kris Rosvold:
I have absolutely no problem with folks who believe in fairy tails, or in fairies' tales for that matter.
Where I have a problem is when they try to write laws which require ALL OF US to act like we believe those fairy tales, especially if those fairies and their tails demand that we denigrate and marginalize my fellow Citizens.
Since we've had +200 years of fairy tales (and tails) being used that way there is a problem here.
Now, if You need to believe the fairy tales which assert that fairies have tails, I'm good with that.
If OTOH you want to insist that I believe that fairies have tales which tell of tails or that it's "somehow" *waves hands vehemently in the air* A OK to denigrate, protest against, or arbitrarily and capriciously delete the Rights of, my fellow Citizens then I'm going to be forced to laugh in your face after a very brief interlude applying Occam's Razor.
Why are some atheists so angry when they see people believing in fairy tales?

Injured? Receive a Structured Settlement
Accidents always happen — we are only human after all. But when an accident happens are injuries are involved, its time to get serious about how to recover, and recovery isn't just about heading to the hospital. Those who are injured on the job often receive structured settlement cash, with more than a third of personal injury claimants being offered a structured settlement.
Structured settlements are widely used in liability or injury cases; they are a financial or insurance arrangement made by the claimant and insurance company in order to receive periodic payments on a fixed schedule. Structured settlement money is either distributed via these periodic payments, or can simply be paid out as a structured settlement lump sum.
A lump sum payment is when the claimant asks the insurance company to

Albany, NY – Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced the approval of $300,000 for the Adirondack Meat Company's new, 7,500 square-foot USDA-certified food processing facility in Ticonderoga, Essex County. The facility, which is up and running with a dozen new jobs already created, will help meet the growing need of area livestock farmers and producers and generate a total of 17 jobs in Essex County. The company is also slated to open a retail store on Wicker Street in Ticonderoga on May 1 of this year.
"Targeted investments in local job-creating industries is helping bring economic growth to communities in Essex County and across the State," Governor Andrew Cuomo said. "The Regional Council process has recognized that no one knows a community better than its own residents and business leaders, and by crafting a regionally tailored, job-growth strategy the North Country REDC is helping leverage smart investments like this one to grow the local economy."
Through the second round of the Regional Economic Development Council (REDC) initiative, the project was awarded a total of $465,000 and identified as a regional priority by the North Country Regional Economic Development Council, with funding approved last week by Empire State Development's Board of Directors.
The Adirondack Meat Company's new meat processing facility is designed to process and return packaged products to livestock suppliers. The operation, which is the first USDA-certified processing facility in the Adirondack Park, significantly reduces the distance traveled for livestock farmers and helps reduce the lengthy wait time that currently exists. The upgrades allow the Adirondack Meat Company to provide faster turnaround as well as the needed capacity to limit processing transportation costs and delays, resulting in increased profitability and sustainability for area farmers.
Adirondack Meat Company Owner Peter Ward said, "We look forward to working with local beef, pork, sheep and goat producers throughout the North Country and Champlain Valley region of New York State. Working with local producers on the growing need for fresh, all-natural animals will be very productive for our region. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Governor Cuomo and his staff for making opportunities like this available to small businesses in New York State. Opportunities like this give small businesses a chance to succeed. Special thanks go to Essex County IDA for all the time and effort they put into this project as well as our partners at Empire State Development, the North Country Regional Economic Development Council, NYS Ag& Markets, USDA RD, North Country Alliance, Cornell Cooperative Extension, the Town of Ticonderoga, the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce and the Essex County Board of Supervisors."
Based on survey responses from area livestock growers, the facility is anticipated to double the production of livestock in the region and eliminate an existing barrier to value-added productions. The company plans to open a retail shop for the sale of processed and packaged meat, and branding a finished product with the Adirondack label will further promote the region.
After three rounds of the REDC process, more than $2 billion has been awarded to job creation and community development projects consistent with each region's strategic plans, resulting in creation or retention of more than 100,000 jobs statewide. As part of that process, the Adirondack Meat Company was awarded $300,000 from Empire State Development and $165,000 from the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, through the Essex County IDA. In addition, the USDA is guaranteeing a loan for the Adirondack Meat Company.
Empire State Development President, CEO & Commissioner Kenneth Adams said, "The Adirondack Meat Company's success is the result of true collaboration among many partners on the federal, state and local level and ESD applauds the North Country Regional Economic Development Council for investing in their growth. We congratulate Adirondack Meat Company and look forward to its next achievement—the opening of a retail store in Ticonderoga this May."
The new facility was endorsed as a priority project in 2012 by the North Country Regional Economic Development Council as it aligns with the Council's Strategic Plan by fostering the growth of the small, entrepreneurial businesses, supporting the region's agriculture industry and promoting the sale of value-added, local products.
Congressman Bill Owens said, "Agricultural growth continues to bring much-needed jobs and economic activity to the North Country. Adding this USDA-certified facility gives a boost to our local livestock farmers and encourages the long-term sustainable growth of the industry in this region."
Senator Betty Little said, "I am very pleased to see the progress being made by Adirondack Meat Company knowing how important this food processing facility is to farmers in the North Country and how beneficial it will be for our local economy. This is a great private and public collaboration, jobs are already being created with more on the way. I appreciate the support of Governor Cuomo and Empire State Development and their confidence in our North Country Economic Development Council's vision for a more diverse and stronger economy."
Assemblyman Dan Stec said, "Once again, we celebrate a big win for the North Country by expanding economic development opportunities and strengthening our agricultural businesses. Congratulations to the Adirondack Meat Company for their vision and creation of this much needed facility."
Anthony G. Collins, President of Clarkson University and co-chair of the NCREDC said, "Reflecting the diversity of the North Country economy, the Regional Economic Development Council's Agriculture Work Group represents 4,268 farms in the last agricultural census and nearly $600 million of sales from 1.16 million acres dedicated to farming across the seven counties. The introduction of Adirondack Meat Company as a USDA-approved processing facility adds to our region's agricultural assets and advances the sustainability principle to buy local that so many people in our region have shared with us as important to them through our public participation sessions."
Garry Douglas, President of the North Country Chamber of Commerce and Co-Chair of the NCREDC said, "This is another milestone in the implementation of the Regional Plan and its commitment to job creation and key opportunities such as value added agriculture. Our thanks to Governor Cuomo for his continued support and our congratulations to the business on its very successful launch. Onward and upward!"
Chairman of the Essex County Board of Supervisors Randy Douglas said, "Adirondack Meat Company has hit the ground running as the first USDA certified meat processing facility in the Adirondack Park. In just a few months' time, the company has ramped up operations, serving the needs of area farmers, and is on target to hire more than a dozen employees in Ticonderoga. We thank the many partners, including the North Country Regional Council and Governor Cuomo, who helped make this project a reality."
Ticonderoga Town Supervisor Bill Grinnell said, "The Adirondack Meat Company is a vital part of our community and our local economy and we are very happy to hear that it is expanding and creating additional good paying jobs for our residents. I applaud the Governor and the state for working on this funding and investing in this facility that has made this expansion a reality."

We have many clients who think they have no avenues to recover under the workers' compensation system because they have not received medical treatment through a workers' compensation provider. Many times, their boss or supervisor tells them to get treated by their personal physician instead of filing their injury under workers' comp. They subsequently think because they have done this, they have no case – NOT TRUE.
Even if you get treated by a personal physician, you still may have a workers' compensation claim. If an injured worker has provided notice to the employer about an injury, just because they were treated by a non-panel doctor does not mean they are barred from bringing a case. Contact us at the law offices of Benjamin Y. Gerber and we can help explain your rights to you.

The High and Low Road Our Trip to Scotland
Many of you are traveling this month, taking a few days (or weeks) off to rest and relax during the pleasant weather. Melissa and I already had our summer vacation in May, when we celebrated our 10th anniversary by traveling to Scotland. Scotland was delightful for many reasons. I never thought I'd get to travel to the birthplace of golf on an anniversary trip, but that's what happens when you have the coolest wife ever. It began with a brutal travel day, with a long flight to London, a train to catch at King's Cross Station, and then learning to drive on the left side of the road in busy Edinburgh traffic before finally reaching our hotel that night via some bumpy country roads. But after that? Man, oh man. What a fantastic trip! Our first stop was North Berwick, where I played the West Links, one of the oldest golf courses in the world. The conditions were windy, but my experience playing in breezy conditions helped me persist. While in North Berwick, we also checked out Tantallon Castle, which was shrouded in fog that made a cool effect but obscured our view of the water. We also spent three nights in St. Andrews, a two-hour drive north along the coast that allowed me to get my legs under me when driving on those Scottish roads. By the time we arrived, I was a driving-on-the-left pro. (I also might have a few speeding tickets from all those traffic cameras; but so far, I'm in the clear.) Our
hosts in St. Andrews were excellent, and we enjoyed the college-town atmosphere. Apparently, by July the students are all gone and the town is packed with American tourists, so we lucked out. I enjoyed playing both the Old and New Courses in St. Andrews. The infamous Old Course has a 500-plus year history and a daunting reputation. I was told that I'd hate it at first, and while I didn't hate it, I would have liked to play it more to gain a real appreciation. One hole in particular forces you to play from the famous Jigger Inn if that's where you send the ball. I witnessed that from the clubhouse when a golfer tried to pick up his ball from the pavement and all of us on the patio started yelling at him. Talk about a hole that gets much harder to play at 5:30 p.m.! Carnoustie was another notorious course that I visited, and I did quite a bit better on that course than at St. Andrews. I had a good day and a capable caddy, and I played the wind really well. I have friends who can't play if the wind gets above 10 mph, and they'd hate golfing in Scotland where it frequently tops 40 mph. After that, we spent a few nights in Edinburgh. I sampled Scotch whiskys, and we visited Rosslyn Chapel, which Melissa wanted to check out. It was a fascinating place, and the history there and at Edinburgh Castle is astounding. London was the same way, and that was the last stop before flying home. A memorable moment in London was of course high tea, another to-do item on Melissa's travel list. I had to pack a coat and tie, but it was easily worth it and quite enjoyable.
All things told, our trip to Scotland was a wonderful way to celebrate our 10-year anniversary. I hope you get a chance to enjoy this summer, and I wish you the best as the weather heats up here in town.
Happy Fourth of July,
