What I'm reading . . . Kinda . .
Normally, on Thursdays, I share what I'm reading but, I don't have a lot to share :-) I'm continuing on with the series I mentioned last week by L. Snelling.
Otherwise, there isn't much going on in the world of my reading! (Plus I'm writing this post really late . . so . . .it's short!)

4 Essentials to Start an E-Commerce Store
E-commerce continues to make up of the overall retail market, which is forecasted to surpass $600 billion in U.S. revenue by 2021 and exceed $4.8 trillion worldwide. Big players like Amazon, Alibaba, JD.com, eBay have certainly had an impact, but so have many smaller online brands selling in specific niches. It's these independent brands that truly embody the idea of what an e-commerce website is compared to a handful of giant marketplaces offering an amalgamation of everything.
If you have dreams of joining the ranks, nail down these four essentials to start an e-commerce store.
A Niche
Before you have a product, you should have a niche. Your niche informs your target buyer and how your products are categorized. A store sells men's clothing, but what kind of clothing do they really sell? Outdoor clothing? Fitness wear? Casual threads?
Many people choose their business niche based purely on existing trends and dollar signs alone. Don't do this. While you want your niche to be in demand, you also want to know and/or have a passion for it. Then, see what competition is out there and whether there's adequate search volume relevant keywords.
Otherwise, what makes you qualified to be solving a problem or developing a unique selling proposition?
Online Property
On the most basic level, you cannot sell anything if you don't have an online property to showcase your products and facilitate transactions. Except, to succeed in e-commerce, you'll need to do many things well to grow and beat out your competition. Prerequisite site details include secure web hosting, two-factor authentication and a privacy policy to ensure customers' that their data won't be shared with a third party. You'll also want your store to be mobile friendly, easy to navigate and contain high-resolution images. You'll offer a better customer experience with a detailed FAQ page, advanced payment options and a clearly stated return policy.
Customer Acquisition Plan
If there's a strong demand for your niche, that's great, but don't think all you need to do is build a site to have the customers arrive. You still need a plan on how you'll drive traffic to your store. Today's digital marketing ecosystem offers brands a lot of opportunities, but not without complexities. Will you go with a heavy PR strategy before launch? Allocate most of your monthly market budget to AdWords? Focus on SEO as your long-term plan? What about social media, content marketing and referral advertising? The list goes on and on. Choose a few approaches that align with your business.
Logistics Model
Delivering the smoothest online shopping experience possible wouldn't mean much if there weren't a reliable logistics system to fulfill the order. How will you ship your products? Where will you store them, and track their quantities? Will you forego responsibility and some margin for a dropshipping model? What about your reverse logistics process, such as a return policy and an asset recovery system to handle returned merchandise?
When starting out, it's usually best to keep your logistics model flexible and straightforward, even if it costs you a little more on your bottom line. After you've achieved some growth and gotten the business off the ground, you can invest in long-term margin-friendly options and control more of your logistics process.
Of course, there's a bit more to succeeding as an online store, but you won't get anywhere without first figuring out these four essential e-commerce details. By choosing an e-commerce niche with potential, developing a website that improves customer experiences, acquiring customers from cost-effective, scalable marketing strategies and operating a logistics process that satisfies customers and protects your bottom line, your store is well-positioned for future growth and success.

This week we had a great Shabbat experience. We started it off on Friday night with a service called kabalat shabbat. We welcomed shabbat and ate some really good challah ! We heard from our speaker Jamie Lassner about his experience with 9/11. It was really inspiring for all of us.
We started off Saturday morning with some prayers and meditation at a service called shacharit. After, we discussed what it means to be a hero, and how you can use your talents and good traits to help people in the world. It was also truly inspiring.
After some rest time we had another service called Havdalah, which was a beautiful closing to Shabbat. We learned some new songs and danced around. We heard from our speaker Jamie Lassner again and had a chance to ask questions, and we learned that we can make change in the world and we are the voice of our generation.
After Havdalah we went to Rockefeller center and went ice skating, which was really fun.
I've had a amazing trip so far and this has been a great experience. I've met new people and explored all around New York. I've explored my Jewish identity and felt even more connected to Judaism. I can't wait to do even more !!!
Isabelle, right, is a 9th grader at Niles North.

Self-Directed Roth IRA
A Roth IRA is one of the most beneficial retirement plans available. This is especially true if you expect your tax bracket during retirement to be equal to or higher than your current bracket. For example, all contributions are made after tax. The earnings—including interest, dividend income, and capital gains—grow tax free. A self-directed plan offers the same benefits. However, these plan owners choose their own assets and use alternative investments to build retirement wealth.
Funding a self-directed account is easy. You can transfer funds and assets from an existing Roth or traditional IRA and/or make an annual contribution. You can also roll over funds from a 401(k) or pension plan.
Self-Directed Roth IRA Features
- Tax-deferred earnings, which can be distributed tax free (see requirements below)
- Contributions can be made at any age as long as you have earned income
- Required minimum distributions (RMDs) are not mandatory
- Above all, you can invest in real estate, private equity, gold, Bitcoin, and more
Tax-Free Distributions
Most importantly, perhaps the greatest feature of this plan is that distributions of the contributions are tax free. Additionally, distributions of income generated by this plan are also tax free (and penalty free) as long as you are at least 59 ½ years old and have had the account for at least five years.
However, if you are under the age of 59 ½, there is a 10-percent penalty on most distributions, and the distribution may be included in your income. There are some exceptions to this rule including:
- The plan is inherited
- You are disabled
- You're a first-time home buyer
- You pay education expenses for yourself or dependents
Eligibility to Open a Self-Directed Roth IRA
Anyone with earned income can contribute directly to a Roth IRA. But, your modified adjusted gross income for 2019 must be less than:
- Married individuals filing jointly: $203,000
- Single or head of household: $137,000
- Married, filing separate returns: $10,000
Note: If you have an existing Roth account, you can move those funds to a self-directed Roth IRA regardless of your income. Additionally, you can convert funds from an existing traditional IRA, SEP IRA, or other tax-deferred account to a self-directed account.

The Owls will host the Fighting Irish in Philadelphia in 2014 (Oct. 11), marking Notre Dame's first appearance at Lincoln Financial Field. Temple will visit South Bend, Ind., during the 2015 (Sept. 26) season. The third game (date has yet to be determined) will be played at Notre Dame.
"Temple is pleased to announce our new agreement with Notre Dame, one of the truly great programs in the history of college football," said Temple Athletic Director Bill Bradshaw. "This is an exciting opportunity for Temple University, our football program, and the best sport fans anywhere-- here in Philadelphia. We are committed to playing the best programs in the country, and Notre Dame fits perfectly into our vision of bringing the best to the City of Philadelphia for our alumni and our fans."
"We are excited to have the opportunity to play Notre Dame," said head coach Steve Addazio, who coached at Notre Dame (1999-2001) for three seasons. "This series is good for our players, our fans, and Philadelphia. Notre Dame's football tradition and national recognition are second to none. Playing strong non-conference opponents is a part of our blueprint, and Temple fans will not be disappointed."
Despite their extensive football histories, the schools have never met on the gridiron. Notre Dame, however, has played in the City of Philadelphia 16 times since 1928, posting a 14-1-1 record before nearly a million fans. The Fighting Irish have visited Penn five times at Franklin Field, going 4-1 against the Quakers from 1930 to 1955. Notre Dame has also played at Municipal/JFK Stadium eight times and at Veterans Stadium twice.
"It's been nearly 20 years since a Notre Dame football team has played in Philadelphia, so we're excited about the opportunity to do so, in the process playing a Temple program for the first time in our history," Notre Dame Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick said.
"Temple's football team is clearly a program on the rise, and it will pose great tests for us each year we play," Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly said. "We're looking forward to bringing the Fighting Irish back to Philadelphia and providing our strong East Coast fan base another opportunity to see its team in person."
Temple football, a member of the Mid-American Conference since 2007, continues to play strong non-conference opponents. Last fall Temple announced a three-game series extension with Penn State through 2016, and a new four-game series with regional foe Rutgers through 2018.
Temple 2011 Football season tickets are on sale now for as low as $15 per game. Catch the Owls in action versus Villanova, Army, and Penn State at Lincoln Financial Field. Call the Temple Ticket Sales Office at 215-204-8499 or visit www.OwlsTix.com.

Brenan Cassell
Easton High School // Swimming, Baseball
Anyone who has even tried swimming's most difficult and strenuous stroke knows what it means to perform the butterfly well. Coordination and athleticism certainly play a part in being adept in the "fly," although there's more to it than just having those twin attributes.
The bottom line is that what really makes a butterfly specialist successful is grinding through repetitive and rigorous workouts that leave most swimmers gasping for air by the time they finally touch the wall. Moreover, year-round club swimmers have a longer development period in which to refine their stroke and work on all-important conditioning.
That's why Easton High's Brenan Cassell defies logic when it comes to being such a swimming success story for the Warriors.
Brenan is a seasonal swimmer only, perhaps because he's already talented enough to hop in a pool and beat many of his competitors. Or because baseball is an even bigger part of his athletic life than swimming. Regardless, when he gets in water, he goes. Fast. And not just in the fly, either.
"In swimming, you have to have stroke technique," says Easton swimming coach Kara Erskine. "We try here to give each swimmer individual attention, but Brenan is such a natural athlete. He just jumps in and picks up all the strokes."
Erskine can only ponder what type of performer she would have if the junior started a year-round regimen. "Brenan asked me what would happen if he started swimming year round," Erskine says with a laugh. "I said, 'I don't know, Brenan, but I think you'd be pretty fast.'"
In fact, his 58:57 in the 100-yard freestyle opened Erskine's eyes.
"That's pretty good for a guy that doesn't swim year-round," she says.
Brenan said his taste for the sport was developed by watching the Olympics, so he thought of giving it a try once he enrolled at Easton. "I've always had a pool growing up," he says. "And I wanted to try something new and something fun. Trying something new isn't such a bad thing."
He says that once he learned the butterfly stroke technique, the conditioning gradually kicks in. "It takes all season to get in shape," he says ruefully. "And then once you do, the season is over."
Nevertheless, when swimming season ends, that's the time Brenan becomes a valuable part of the Warriors' baseball squad before turning to American Legion ball over the summer.
This season, Easton had an up-and-down campaign that came to a halt in the Class 2A East Section II final with a 5-2 loss to Queen Anne's after the Warriors topped Kent Island, 7-1, in the opening game of the postseason. "Some days we play like the Orioles, and some days we play like a T-ball team," Brenan says.
As a catcher, Brenan's aptitude for cutting down would-be base stealers—he nabbed seven potential thieves in a row at one point this spring—tops the list of his duties on the diamond. "I finally started to get my footwork down," says the oldest of four boys.
Playing fall ball helped the 5-foot-10, 160-pound receiver's mechanics behind the plate. "He's a strong kid and an absolute leader for us," says Easton baseball coach Albert Pritchett. "He's got good feet and a good strong arm. And he's a career .300 hitter—a good gap hitter."
Brenan knows how to get it done in the classroom as well, earning a 3.8 grade point average and college credits in a dual enrollment program at Chesapeake College. His plan is to attend Salisbury University to become a social worker, like his parents. "I'm a quiet kid in class," he says simply. "I try to get my work done."
His mother, Cathy, says that Brenan is a huge help to his youngest sibling, Dylan. "Dylan is eight, and really looks up to Brenan," she says. "At the age of 13, Brenan was fully versed in diabetes, and able to totally care for Dylan and give insulin by injection. He is a super kid."

For nay company to be successful in all its activities, there are must be terms and conditions to be followed by each party involved. There are various conditions that people should meets once they go for dumpster rental facilities. This is to help the ongoing of the company as well as promoting the work of the customers. This creates a good working relationship between the people of all class with respect in ones job. In case of any difficult in understanding some of these factors, it is important to seek the experts help and advice so as to be on the right track. The following are some of the factors that people consider to observe when dealing with dumpster rental.
Terms and condition of a given firm. For any dumpster rent firm , there should be a condition of terms once the agreement has been made. This made involve the terms it will be required once the customers are through with the task. Also, it includes the various agreement on how to make the payments of the facilities offered by the individual firm. All these condition should be fulfilled by each and every participant in the process. Showing level of commitment will be a good way to coming up with a successful terms fulfilment.
The rate of charges the company is offering. Dumpster rentals has got wide variety of prizes. In every purchasing there must be individual target. Therefore, it is important to consider whether the given prices match the purchaser budget. If not so, it is good to look for another alternative that will give close figures to the buyer. It is important to also note whether there are other additional fees charged once one has order the cargo. This may include the freight charges, delivery fee among other.
Means used in disposing the material from the site. The means of material disposal should be determined first before choosing the dumpster rental company. If they are not willing to give out their nature of carrying out activities, it is good to look for a firm that can offer better disposal facilities. It is necessary to ask whether the company is responsible in recycling used products. Take time to know their mode of operation. This is because, the rental company should be in a position of making sue of the already utilized material from their customers. If the choice does no please the individual, it is health to continue searching for the one that is fit for such services.
Professional help of the given organization. It is the duty of the rental firm to guide one on the best authorities that one can get secured in in case of any important requirements. This is, permits for acceptance of owning and operating with such items may be required under some circumstance. Also another factor to consider is the area to citing the container. All these requirements should be directed by the company that one is willing to purchase the dumpster from.

War divides, music connects
That's the snappy and so-true line that sits on the website of Musicians Without Borders (MWB), a group focused on using the power of music to bridge divides, connect communities and heal the wounds of war.
Founded in 2008, MWB work closely with local musicians and NGO's to build sustainable projects in response to local needs. From successful projects they've developed models, methodologies and training structures to take their music-for-peace methods to different regions where communities are in conflict or dealing with the suspicion and divide that war creates.
And what a great idea of using music as the medium for peacekeeping. All societies have music as an integral part of their social fabric; there's yet to be a tyrant who stole the beats from the kids (though North Korea could be the exception to the rule). In post conflict zones people need everything that we take for granted in order to return to the normalcy of life like food, water, shelter, clothing and medicine. But there's always more. People need hope and to reconcile people need empathy. To heal, people need connection and people need community.
And that is exactly the scope of how music can assist in the reconciliation of human solidarity.
Healing through music
Music Without Borders has professional trainers that specialise in running community music projects with people dealing with trauma, fear and isolation as a result of war and conflict. MWB efforts allow participants the time to develop skills and talents, process grief and loss, and build bridges of reconciliation in societies that have been divided by recent or ongoing conflict.
A glance at their project work brings some clarity on their belief in the power of unity through music.
The Mitrovica Rock School in post-war Kosovo brings aspiring rocks stars from the Serb and Albanian community together. MWB's work in Palestine through community music provides opportunity for entertainment and education for marginalised children in West Bank refugee camps, villages, schools, hospitals and orphanages, while in Rwanda music therapy training and community music activities are empowering young people affected by HIV/AIDS
Other initiatives have seen music introduced as therapy to women who survived Bosnian concentration camps, for Tanzanian youths dealing with HIV/AIDS, gender violence and problems connected to poverty, and in Northern Ireland where children have dealt with the outcomes of sectarian violence and inter-community isolation for far too long.
How to get involved
There are a number of ways that people can get involved with Musicians Without Borders. Donors are always needed and 2016 projects are looking for funding, while musicians who may have talent, spare instruments or advice to contribute can connect through Facebook and share their talent to this amazing community.
Final word goes to Yassin Algero, an Algerian singer, composer, and music producer who provides a testimonial on WMB's website:
"I seek my inspiration from the people of the world that we live in. My music is for them, and I see no borders, obstacles, or division between us. All I see are possibilities to bring peace, healing love, and hope to those who need it most. Musicians Without Borders is a tremendous organisation that helps to create this every day with their mission to inspire change towards a more beautiful future."
Yeah. We agree.

Currently, egg-white Lysozyme is allowed for the manufacture of cheese and wine as an anti-microbial stabilizer/additive in EU, USA, China and Japan. However, residual amounts of egg-white lysozyme are considered sufficient to trigger allergic reactions in susceptible individuals. How to discover dosage-less and allergen-free of new source lysozyme are thus, a big challenge.
The new generation of Lyosch® G4 takes Lysozyme to the new height against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, only 2-5ppm can lyse the bacteria without allergen risk.
Recommended dosage
Lysoch™ G4
- Effective prevent the growth of spoilage lactic acid bacteria and to control malolactic fermentation (MLF)
- Stabilize wines after alcoholic fermentation and/or MLF
- Partly alternative to SO2
10-20 mg/L
- Effective against vegetative cells of Clostridium tyrobutyricum that may cause defects such as off-flavors, butyric rancidity and the phenomenon of 'late blowing'
- Not generally inhibit starter cultures or affect physical or organoleptic properties of the cheese
- Alternative to artificial preservatives such as nitrates, without any impact on cheese flavour
2-4 mg/kg
- Allergen-free
- Effective against both Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria
- Has no effect in yeasts and moulds
- Has a boarder spectrum and higher antibacterial activities than egg-white Lysozyme
- Shelf life extension
- Meet consumers' demand for natural products

I had the opportunity to watch TV9's Versus Season Two last night, Thursday. Five bands were given the task to re-arrange songs and perform it in front of 2 jury and battle to become the best of them all. I'm not very sure how the winner will be selected but the competition format is quite clear that you are required to rip apart the song given to you and impress the audience with your own interpretation of the song.
Since this is season two, I think the bands are improving or at least better prepared than last year's.
Two thumbs up for Kristal, Estranged, Kyoto Protocol, Manifesto and OhChentaku for giving us quite an entertaining performance last night. What makes their effort more impressive is that they were only given 24 hours to complete their task and kudos to them for coming up with an excellent effort and I'm really looking forward to seeing them in action in the next episode.
Special praise must also be given to TV9 for coming up with brilliant ideas of pitting up the top bands in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore in such an entertaining show. They really did their homework, I must say. They simply concentrated on the important aspects of the show i.e the sounds system, lighting and cameras.
The jury's comment were kept simple and smooth and nobody 'meroyan' or did 'lawak tiga suku' which can destroy the competition just like in AF and other reality TV shows.
I wonder if the videos that I saw last night were dubbed and edited because the sounds and everything were excellent. I hope it is because the producer has taken careful and thorough work on the sound system etc to make sure they sounded really professional. It was far better than Anugerah Juara Lagu where most of the vocals were drowned by the loud music and left the singers struggling to find their keys.
If it was because of the latter, I hope they just keep up the good work.
As for the bands, there are not much gaps between them. The musicians were excellent and the singers are really well established. For the first task, they were asked to perform rock hits from the 80's and 90's. Yup, songs from the 'Rock Kapak' era! Not the heavy stuffs but ballads famously known as 'tangkap leleh' back then. The bands were given 24 hours to re-arrange the songs and make them fresh and current.
Themed 'Band Malaya', the first episode turns out to be great and none of the bands really let themselves down. They were all pumped up and made it all clear that they want to win 'Versus' this season. It is going to be tough for the fans and jury to pick the winner, I think.
However, rest assure, there will be a worthy winner by the end of the season.
Kristal started the show with a bang and gave a powerful rendition of Fotograf's song 'Di Alam Fana Cintaku'. True to their instruction to 'rosakkan lagu' (destroy the song), Kristal turned Fotograf's classic hit into a heavy and crunchy rock song that sounded somewhere between Metallica and Nirvana. It really set the tone for the night when all bands chose to shift to the power chords and heavy metal riffs that completely turned the 'tangkap leleh' songs to errrr… heavy metal songs?
Few added the funk and alternative sounds to their style and it wasn't bad either. Overall, it was good and it will be difficult to hand pick a winner for last night's performances.
As for me, I like Manifesto and their interpretation of Dinamik's song, 'Biar Putih Tulang'. They managed to keep the sweet melody intact while improving the tempo and groove of the songs. Really 'kick a**' stuff by Manifesto. Tomok really has grown and become a very good singer and he really has a very good band supporting him for this competition.
Nonetheless, they must be able to control their emotion as evidently shown in their performance where one of the band members fell after exaggerating too much in front of the jury. That was a total calamity and could cost them in the future.
I think all of them gave good performances and again credit for TV9 for a great band selection. They are not only good musicians but they also offer variety of styles for fans to watch and enjoy. I think I will be a big fan of 'Versus' this season. Can't wait for the next performances from the boys. Bring it on!

Is your current strategy for driving local sales making the grade or falling short of expectations?
Driving in-store traffic and increasing sales at the local level is one of the greatest challenges brands struggle with across all categories. Large brands and franchises with multiple locations are tasked with marketing in areas with varying market penetration levels, demographic and competitive differences and geographic nuances. Localizing your efforts to account for these differences is an effective way to supplement national brand efforts and often proves more effective than umbrella tactics. Customized local plans for search engine marketing, landing pages and traditional media can be highly effective in driving in-store traffic and sales.
While local sales plans are one of the most valuable tools national brands and franchisors have in their arsenal, they're frequently overlooked or underutilized. Local operators may lack the time, experience or expert resources to adapt and implement plans. The corporate marketing department and their agencies often lack the bandwidth required to plan, implement and negotiate tactics on a market by market basis. The result is a national marketing plan designed for the average location ignoring individual market factors.
Making the Grade: Your "Straight A" Local Marketing Strategy
Successful local store marketing begins with a fact-based approach. The four A's: Awareness, Alignment, Analytics, and Agility are instrumental in identifying and implementing strategies and tactics that address unique market challenges, drive traffic, and increase sales.
Awareness, Alignment, Analytics, and Agility form the foundation of an effective fact-based approach to local marketing that informs current and future strategies, tactics, and spending.
Brand awareness is important for driving sales at the local level. Creating the type of momentum that keeps your brand top-of-mind among consumers demands the right tools and know-how.
Building awareness for national brands on a local level begins with questions like:
- Are your physical locations easy to find and access? If your business relies on foot traffic, you want to overcome any challenges with careful attention to signage and descriptors.
- Are landing pages optimized to showcase each location? Most consumers begin their research online looking for places "near me". Because of this, search engine results are skewing to favor location indicators over a national presence. A locally optimized landing page is essential to making your market presence known.
- Are directory listings up to date and consistent? Directory listings are another key component to search results, accounting for up to 49% of your local ranking factors. NAP (name, address, phone number) consistency is critical to optimizing your placement in search results.
- What are the key differences between this location and others? National campaigns are engineered to bring the average customer to the average unit. But no customer or location exactly fits either profile. It's important to be aware of market differences in customer demographics and media habits so national strategies can be adapted at the local level.
Increasing sales volumes in a sustainable manner over time requires a highly-coordinated approach to aligning both national and local strengths with on-the-ground resources. Most national brands have access to marketing resources that retail locations and franchises seldom do, including significant budgets, staffing, and deep marketing expertise. Local retail outlets have the advantage of direct access to their customers and a deeper understanding of their individual markets and competitors.
While it's not uncommon for individual franchise owners to implement marketing tactics on their own, it's important that local efforts mirror the national brand in look, feel, tone, and overall experience. Coordination of these efforts is critical to fully leverage the brand and create demand at the local level with programs developed to:
- Build brand awareness
- Grow in-store traffic, sales, and engagement
- Increase customer loyalty
- Enhance a store's image in the community
- Develop involvement and recognition within the local community
Analytics enable you to paint an accurate, detailed picture of your customers complete with demographic, economic, location and lifestyle characteristics. They also serve as a window into your target's interactions with your advertising. The correct data can be used to measure awareness, drive in-store traffic and sales, and adjust strategies as needed to quickly respond to changes in the marketplace and consumer behaviors.
Armed with these facts, you can use that knowledge to:
- Find more customers who look like your best customers
- Identify cross-sell opportunities within your current customer base
- Determine which targets will be most responsive to your message or offer
- Test promotional, traffic building initiatives, and more
Today, so much data exists that it can be overwhelming to keep up. While the data exists, it requires constant monitoring to make ongoing optimizations. Many local operators and franchisees don't have the time or experience to continuously assess this flow of data, or to even know which metrics are the most important. This is especially true in the digital world where metrics seemingly never end – click throughs, view throughs, engagement, shares, reactions, and more. How do you compare these and which is more important? Or, should you focus on mobile programs that place a conversion zone around a location to count the number of people entering the store who have been exposed to your ad. It all depends on the goal of your marketing effort.
Effective marketing at the local level requires the agility to adapt and change plans based on market conditions and ad response. Most franchisees and local operators don't know how to negotiate local media to get the most impact from their spend and many national brands don't spend media dollars to support smaller markets. Partnering with an agency that has the bandwidth and expertise working with franchisees or operators in developing customized local marketing programs can bridge the gap between the national and local levels of your organization.
Working with the right agency can provide the flexibility and agility you need to respond to changing customer preferences and trends in a rapidly evolving retail marketplace by helping you:
- Apply analytics to measure, monitor, and adjust strategies and tactics in a highly responsive manner
- Properly allocate and deploy your resources to reduce overall marketing costs and overhead
- Access expertise and the full range of capabilities needed to support and build your national brand while driving local sales in areas such as:
• Local media buying
• Search engine marketing (SEM)
• Creation of customized, local landing pages
• Retargeting
• Social media
• Digital marketing
• Local out-of-home/outdoor advertising
• Sales and training support, and more.

Blue Desert
In the promised land of the Sunbelt, people come by the thousands to escape the crush of Eastern cities and end up duplicating the very world they have fled. Can the land remain unchanged? In Blue Desert, Charles Bowden presents a view of the Southwest that seeks to measure how rapid growth has taken its toll on the land. Writing with a reporter's objectivity and a desert rat's passion, Bowden takes us into the streets as well as the desert to depict not a fragile environment but the unavoidable reality of abuse, exploitation, and human cruelty.
Blue Desert shows us the Sunbelt's darker side as it has developed in recent timeswhere "the land always makes promises of aching beauty and the people always fail the land"and defies us to ignore it. Blue Desert has no boundaries, no terrain, no topographical coordinates; it is a state of mind inescapable to one who sees change and knows that nothing can be done to stop it.

Sky Empire are a new progressive metal act based in the UK. Let yourself be guided by the music as Sky Empire take their listeners on a journey, interweaving emotive storytelling through the fabric of powerful and evocative music.Media/Samples
Effortlessly and effectively blending the likes of Iron Maiden, Deep Purple, Dream Theater and Symphony X, Sky Empire are preparing to take 2018 by storm in what promises to be an unerring musical spectacle as they launch their new album, The Dark Tower.
Sky Empire was forged from the alliance of two bands, progressive rockers Core Project and alternative metal outfit Gun Metal, and the alliance embrace these roots as a badge of honour. From the confluence of these foundations, Sky Empire rose from these ashes to carve out their vision of the future with their new album, The Dark Tower, a masterpiece that befittingly rides the wave of the new modern age of transatlantic progressive metal, whilst shamelessly paying homage to the giants from the 'old world' British progressive music scene on whose shoulders they now stand.

Zalgiris One Team Ambassadors Kavaliauskas and Davies open up to the kids 0
Lithuanian champion Zalgiris Kaunas has started its fifth season with Euroleague Basketball's social responsibility program One Team, one that will be full of meaningful activities with youngsters from the Kaunas district probation service who have behavioral problems.
The goal of Zalgiris's One Team program is to use authoritative basketball stars and the sport in general as an educational tool to help young people find purposeful goals and develop strong discipline.
Other goals of the project are to help children deal with their problems, find the right solutions in difficult situations, improve communication skills, develop a stronger sense of values and create positive habits of behavior.
Zalgiris – the first-ever Best One Team Programme Award winner at the end of last season – began its new mission with the selection of its project ambassadors for the 2017-18 season.
Center Antanas Kavaliauskas, last year's One Team Ambassador, prolonged his participation in the program and newcomer Brandon Davies was also happy to accept new responsibilities.
Together with representatives from the Zalgiris administration and coach Justinas Grainys, Kavaliauskas and Davies welcomed the participants to the practice court of the magnificent Zalgirio Arena.
The workshop kicked off with an empowering speech from Kavaliauskas, who emphasised how important it is to find purpose by knowing what you want in life, and then to keep working step by step no matter the difficulties you come across.
"I always wanted to be a basketball player," said Kavaliauskas. "I started practicing as a seven-year-old, but then as a teenager there were days when nothing was going right and I just wanted to spend time with my friends outside.
"I skipped practices and school, but luckily my grandmother noticed it and pushed me back into basketball. I grabbed onto that new chance, moved to the USA to study and everything worked out well in the end."
For his new teammate Davies, it was the first time he had opened up to such a young audience, and he told them about his struggles growing up in a multicultural family.
"I am happy to be a One Team Ambassador," Davies said. "I see that it is important to the kids and it is important to me as well. Hopefully I can help them to thrive by telling about my experiences in life."
This season the One Team and Zalgiris project is strengthened by RAMIRENT. The organization, which have been socially active for several years, recently became the sponsor of the Kaunas team and immediately took the opportunity to join the One Team project.
RAMIRENT Corporation is already known as a front-runner of Baltic Sea cleaning activities and now they decided to invest their time into the club's social campaign helping children. This cooperation with Zalgiris will help the participants of the One Team project find more creative ideas for the weekly workshops.
One Team, supported by Turkish Airlines as the One Team Founding Patron and with the collaboration of Special Olympics as Proud Partner, uses basketball to achieve meaningful social impact in our communities across Europe and is supported by every club in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague and 7DAYS EuroCup.
Since its founding in 2012, the One Team program has already helped more than 14,000 participants through its various team-focused projects.

Song Of The Week - Harper Simon - Wishes And Stars
It took Harper Simon 37 years to get round to making his first album. And when he did he couldn't come up with a title and had Tracy Emin do the sleeve. But it was more than worth the wait.
A dazzlingly assured collection of folk-country numbers, with a line in melody, a playful way with words and a voice that both reminded you of his father, and clearly set him up as his own man. It didn't hurt that the album was co-produced by Bob Jonhston, late of Highway 61/Blonde on Blonde era Dylan, and two classic albums by Simon & Garfunkel.
Simon may have been slow in making his own record, but his career has been wide and varied, playing guitar for the likes of Carl Perkins and frequently as part of Yoko's Plastic Ono band. Indeed, at one point he was collaborating with both Sean Lennon and Rufus Wainwright, a second-generation trio of quite amazing proportions.
The song we've chosen, Wishes and Stars, (co-written with the Nigerian poet and Novelist Ben Okri) is simply so wonderfully good that at least one member of the lastword team is considering having it played at his funeral. That's how good a pop record this is! (lastword one saw Harper play this album live on a 12 string acoustic in London. We even ended up having a pee next to him in the gents. He was wearing a Nudie suit - it wasn't the right moment to say hi or shake hands.)
As to Harper's cinematic connections (apart from frequent airplay on Girls), he appeared in his dad's movie One Trick Pony, briefly popped up in Scorsese's Bringing Out the Dead, and provided music for two Abel Ferrara movies, The Blackout and New Rose Hotel. And if any more connections were needed, his dad wrote Mrs Robinson and provided much of the soundtrack for Mike Nichols' peerless The Graduate, the first movie to thematically score to pop music.
A good friend of the site once told us upon hearing this song - "He's right! There are more wishes that stars" - so fuck you, Jiminy Cricket! (Oh look - another cinematic connection.)

Testimonial from past Walking Awake Women's Pilgrimage to Scotland:
"I went on this magical pilgrimage to Scotland guided by Denise in May 2017. It was an incredible trip in a land so ruggedly beautiful. Denise has a deep relationship with the land and ancient sites that we visited on Mull and Iona, and brought us to places both well traveled and some more hidden. It was a time out of time, with a perfect mix of flexibly scheduled walks and ceremony balanced with ample time to wander, dream or rest on my own. I can't wait to return again next spring!" ~ Cindy C.

Workshops & Retreats
2019 Walking Awake Workshops:
Walking Awake:
Harvesting the
Messages from Nature
Friday, August 2nd - Sunday, August 4th, 2019
at Kirkridge Retreat Center, Bangor, PA USA
led by Denise Crawn
If you love trees, stones and being in Nature, this retreat is for you!
Join Denise for a memorable weekend at Kirkridge Retreat Center nestled on top of the Kittatinny Mountain Range in Northeast Pennsylvania, USA.
It's summer time on the mountain, Nature is in full bloom and August 1st marks the Celtic observance of Lughnasadh, a celebration of the year's first harvest.
Nature's gifts abound…can you see them? Nature is communicating with us all the time…are you present enough to receive the messages? Are you 'walking awake'?
During this weekend we will expereince ways to connect more deeply to the natural world that surrounds us and explore how to harvest the gifts available to us through our innate relationship with Nature.
With a focus on Nature and a touch of Celtic Spirituality this weekend on the mountain will provide a balanced blend of group gatherings, guided walks and meditations, rituals and activities, story, poetry, and song. In addition, there will be plenty of opportunity for individual free time to rest or to explore the many wooded trails at Kirkridge and neighboring Columcille Megalith Park with its over 90 Standing Stones.
On Saturday, August 3rd, there will also be the option of attending Columcille's Lughnasadh Celebration.
Be sure to bring your camera, journal, sketch pad, drum, rattle, and of course, your love of Nature!
Cost $425 includes double occupancy room, board and tuition
Denise Crawn is the owner of Walking Awake, LLC, author of "Walking Awake: The Faces In Nature" and creator of several inspirational card decks. An ordained Interfaith Minister through One Spirit Interfaith Seminary, NYC, Denise's ministry is expressed through her photography, book, cards and events, all of which focus on becoming more aware, awake and fully present through our interconnection with the spirit of Nature. Her deep-rooted relationship with Nature began as a child when she would join her father and brothers hunting and fishing. No longer a hunter, she remains forever an outdoors woman with a keen eye for tracking and a gift for reading Nature's hidden messages. Once upon a time (not so long ago)…a real-life Circle of Standing Stones nestled in the woods at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountain range (Columcille Megaith Park) in her former home state of Pennsylvania called her to visit the tiny Hebridean Island of Iona, Scotland. Ten year's later on her way back to Iona, she met her husband on a ferry and so began their "Ferry Tale" come true. Denise now resides in Scotland with her husband, Nick Prance. Together they lead workshops on both sides of the pond and pilgrimages to sacred sites in the UK with the intention of helping others connect to their inherent relationship with Nature and the Divine within and around.
We Will Bring Our Workshops to You!
with DENISE CRAWN
Come spend the weekend with Denise Crawn and "remember" how to "Walk Awake". There is an old saying: You can't see the forest for the trees." Denise will take you to that forest both figuratively and literally; a primal place that offers a feeling of magic, remembrance, of not being alone, and of being connected with something larger than the human mind can envision. Based upon her book, "Walking Awake: The Faces in Nature" and her own deep connection with nature, Denise will share her ability to see and sense things that others might miss along the wooded path or on a crowded city street.
We have all seen faces and shapes in nature, for example in clouds, flowers and trees. Together we will step into wonder and explore the beauty and mystery of such encounters. Are they messages or signs? Are they communication from God, a reflection of a Universal Consciousness, or simply just "there?"
This retreat will be held both indoors and outdoors and will include using our natural instincts and awareness in our everyday surroundings. We will learn to use our closeness to nature as a spiritual practice, grounding our spirit in our connection to and oneness with the natural world. We will be helped in this reconnecting to our roots through Denise's photographs of Nature Beings. There will be group conversation, reflection on quotes from well-known people and from sacred texts, individual quiet time, guided walks, meditation, creative play, music and more.
This weekend is designed to help us to re-claim a sense of wonder! Bring your journals, cameras, sketch pads, imagination and weather appropriate apparel.
