Successful restaurants are built on customer loyalty. Your regulars are what keep you going.
But to get new people in the door (who later become more regulars) you have to market your restaurant.
Nowadays, the majority of searches for restaurants come on mobile phones. People have a desire to try a type of food, but don't know a restaurant in the area that serves it. Or they may have heard your name but want to check out your menu and location. So they break out their phone and do a quick search. They'll look through a couple of websites, check some reviews, and decide where to go.
This is your chance to:
Restaurant Marketing 360® is an all-in-one online marketing solution that makes sure new diners in you – on both desktop computers and mobile devices – and are taken to an appetizing restaurant website template that gets them making reservations and walking through your doors.
You'll work with a professional marketing executive who understands the restaurant industry and how to generate online business. We'll help with advertisements, promotionals, social media, and more.
Most of all, we'll make sure that when someone is hungry for what you serve, they'll find you when they search restaurants online.
Every start-up, including a new restaurant, benefits from having a formal, written business plan. A critical part of this plan will be marketing and sales, where you plan how to market your restaurant and encourage regular patronage.
Within the marketing section of your business plan you should detail specifics on digital, internet-based marketing. The internet is an important channel to draw in new diners. Your website and social media presence can also be used to offer specials and update regulars, enticing them to come back in.
For the most part, budget allotments for digital restaurant marketing don't need to be huge. But you do want to make sure you have a high level of visibility as you start out, and that you have a website that represents your restaurant in an appetizing, enticing manner.
There are some aspects of digital marketing you'll want to keep as internal, while others you can hire out to an experienced agency. The overall goal is exposure in your target area, with a conversion being more diners coming through the door.
Take the time to outline specifics on how you'll use the following digital marketing platforms and strategies. While results vary, you can target 20-30% of new, first-time diner acquisition as a goal from internet marketing efforts.
Your website will be the backbone of your online marketing – it is the digital front of your restaurant itself. For diners who find you online, your website will be their first impression. A cheap site communicates a cheap experience. Plan to have a professional design created that gives an impression that's modern, clean, and appetizing. Content should include areas that display specials, happy hour deals, and new menu items.
Website functionality allows you to take orders online if you wish. Your entire menu should be displayed as a live page in the navigation. Contact/location information should be in the header of the website so it's always visible.
Ensure that your website is responsive so that it displays on mobile devices. A content management system will allow you to edit content on the website without having to know code like HTML, meaning you won't have to pay a programmer every time you want to change something on the website.
Plan to update your website design periodically based on changes to your menu or service, and to maintain a modern, updated look.
Benchmarks include number of visitors, time on website, bounce rate, and contact directly attributed to the website (phone calls with online tracking number, form fills, anecdotal data on diners who found you online).
There are three types of search marketing to consider, each of which overlaps to a certain degree. Online search is what will make your site visible on queries for certain types of restaurants or food items (for examples Italian restaurants Dallas, best Pho Boulder). Also, many new diners who heard of you by word-of-mouth will feel you out/check your menu on your website.
The first type of search is pay-per-click advertising, or PPC. These are ads you run though platforms such as Google Adwords. The advantage here is that you can get your ads to display on page 1 of search right away, depending on how competitive your bidding. Marketing 360® offers a free analysis of what you'll need to spend to show up ahead of your local competition. Be prepared to modify budget amounts to be competitive with PPC.
The second type of search is search engine optimization, or SEO. Known as organic search, these are results that build over time based on the authority of content on your website. While you don't pay for clicks with SEO the way you do with PPC, it does take longer to get results. You'll need to invest time into a content creation strategy to rank for certain terms, which usually involves blogging.
The third type of search results in a cross-over from SEO that deals with directory and social media listings. There are several hundred directories you'll want to get listed on, and social media like Google Plus for Business and Facebook impact your SEO. You'll want to create accounts on social media and make sure your listed locally.
Your business plan should set goals for short term (1-6 months) results from PPC, and longer (6 months – 2 years) for SEO and related local listings. Benchmarks include website traffic, click-through rates, and page 1 ranking for selected keyword phrases.
Social media can be a useful way to engage existing regulars and get them to share things about your restaurant with their friends. Social media is more of an awareness tool, and does not tend to work as well with direct advertising. Create Facebook and Twitter accounts for your restaurant (both of which are free). Unlike PPC or SEO, daily social media postings are best left to someone who works internally in your restaurant and can give real-time updates on events and menu items.
The main investment to make here is time of a staff member. Use someone experienced in using Facebook. Benchmarks include number of likes/followers on each platform, evidence of attendance at events announced on social media.
Online reviews are so influential with restaurants that it's worth planning how to manage them. In time, even the best restaurants get some bad reviews.
You can include and manage testimonials on your website itself. Top Rated Local® ties into your website with a plug-in and allows you to manage comments.
Google Plus has reviews, and more reviews on this platform help your SEO. Encourage diners to review you on one of these two platforms if possible.
Yelp! is know for online restaurant reviews, and is the most likely place to get hit with an unfair rant. Watch this platform regularly. Respond to negative, unfiltered reviews and explain a remedy to any service issue.
Benchmarks: trends in business overtime with an influx of positive or negative reviews.
Because a restaurant targets a local or regional audience, digital marketing budgets are generally moderate. Initial website design can be 3-5 K, but many professional design templates are less. In fact, Restaurant Marketing 360® offers UXI® templates at no cost when included with a marketing plan.
In months 1-6, ensure that you allow enough budget to be competitive with PPC. You'll get more traffic off of mobile searches, and it will probably be the only listings that show on page 1. How much you need to spend depends on the area you're marketing in and on your competition. $200-300 per month is not unusual.
At the 6 month benchmark, SEO and local listing efforts should garner higher rankings (at least top 30), and should grow from there.
Social media will be ongoing and largely an awareness tool, so the key here is to keep accounts updated with new posts.
Digital marketing is one marketing channel that, when done correctly and consistently, will draw in a percentage of your new diners. It is not make or break for most restaurants, but is a valuable part of the overall marketing concept that should be included in your initial business plan.
There are businesses where internet marketing results are easy to track. On many professional services websites, a conversion is either a phone call or a form fill on the website – both are automatically tracked. This type of business can get a good sense of how many leads and new clients they're getting from their online marketing.
However, some businesses, such as restaurants, target walk-ins. A great new patron may have found your website on search, checked your menu, decided you looked great and come on down.
All fine unless you're trying track specific marketing campaigns – an important step in improving results.
With a restaurant's marketing, the only thing you can do is try to gather data from patrons directly. This is particularly useful when you're a newer restaurant and you know you have a lot of first-time diners coming in. Some options:
Over time, you can gather information on what's driving traffic into your restaurant.
For example, if you found that few people mentioned finding your website prior to coming in, you may have a problem with your keyword rankings, or it may mean your website is not creating a positive impression that's drawing people in.
If over time you're not getting Facebook likes or Twitter followers, you're not getting enough activity through social media.
The data will be more anecdotal than conversions you track directly off a website, but you should be able to garner valuable insights.

RPW Live in Portsmouth 9 (8/27/2017)- Portsmouth, UK
JOSH WALL & KURTIS CHAPMAN vs. ALL DAY SWERVE (Shane Strickland & Ryan Smile)- 6/10
The young-boys put up a good fight, but never at any point did they feel like they had a chance against everyone's favorite high-flying babyface tag team.
"SPEEDBALL" MIKE BAILEY vs. JEFF COBB- 6.25/10
Standard big-man vs. little-man stuff.
JACK SWAGGER vs. DAVE MASTIFF- 5.75/10
Are we certain Swagger's release isn't some sort of work? Because he's not only been allowed to use his WWE name, but his WWE music as well. The crowd popped huge for him, so that was good. They did a bunch of gaga in the beginning. Mastiff worked the mid-section while Swagger worked the ankle and won with the Patriot Lock.
JOSH BODOM vs. DAVID STARR vs. BUBBLEGUM- 7.25/10
This was a great three-way match, and I really do mean a "three-way" match, as they made sure to never let you forget that there was a third wrestler involved. The finish saw Starr hit Bubblegum with a brainbuster onto the knee but then Bodom rolled him up and grabbed a handful of tights for illegal leverage to steal the win.
ROB LIAS vs. SHA SAMUELS- 6/10
Whipping a guy with your suspenders ought to be a DQ, so I really don't blame Rob Lias for kicking Samuel in the balls. He got the win off of doing that, then hitting his finisher.
ZACK SABRE JR. vs. WILL OSPREAY- 8.25/10
For those- including babyface announcer Andy Quildan- who are wondering why Zack's RPW British Heavyweight Championship isn't on the line, the heel announcer (whose name I never remember) points out that Ospreay hasn't really done much in RevPro this year. The story of this match was Zack doing his best to keep Ospreay grounded, preventing him from using his trademark high flying except for one or two short bursts of offense. Ospreay managed to fight through everything Zack threw at him or locked him in, and finally found an opening to hit an Os-cutter and pin the champ clean in the middle of the ring to earn a shot at the RPW British Heavyweight Title.
A fun show from RevPro. Everything was solid, the three-way was great, and the main event was awesome. It was also very easy to sit through, and with a surprisingly short run-time (less than an hour and fifty minutes) you really have no reason not to put the time aside to watch it.

Press conference questions for the coaches.
For coach Borges I'd like to ask. If you don't beleive we're tipping on hand with certain packages, how do you explain Nebraska consiatantly run blitzing where our RB hole was supposed to be. Or why Penn state would substitute their DE's for tackles on certain plays. Even if you don't see it , what are you going to do to correct it.
For Coach Hoke, If you love The University of Michigan does it hurt you physically when your offensive coaches let the players down? Do you ever want to punch Borges in the face?
For coach Mattison it's more of a statement. We're sorry and please don't join Urban meyer in Columbus when Hoke is fired.

Joss Whedon's upcoming Avengers film will use performance capture to allow Mark Ruffalo to portray both the character of Bruce Banner and his alter ego, The Incredible Hulk.
Bleeding Cool reports that the film will use a technique similar to that used by James Cameron to create the alien Na'vi race in Avatar.
Both Hulk in 2003 and The Incredible Hulk in 2008 used pure CGI to create the character.
"I'm really excited, no one's ever played the Hulk exactly - they've always done CGI," Ruffalo said. "They're going to do the Avatar stop-action, stop-motion capture."
Ruffalo also hinted that his take on the character will draw more from the original TV series The Incredible Hulk, which starred Bill Bixby, rather than the more recent films.
The Avengers is due to be released in 2012 following the introduction of the final two main characters in Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger next year.

It's been a long football journey for West Virginia Mountaineer Nick Kwiatkoski, but it seems likely that he'll declare for the NFL Draft following the Cactus Bowl against Arizona State.
Kwiatkoski committed to West Virginia way back in the Big East days and when Dana Holgorsen wasn't even the coach yet, but he's managed to have a solid career in Morgantown.
"He's a throwback," West Virginia defensive coordinator Tony Gibson said. "People use that term a lot, but he's a guy that could have played in any decade, ever since I've been involved in football. He'd be a guy that could be on any team I've ever been around and be as productive as he is right now. He's a special kid who just keeps working and getting better."
More from FoxSports
ESPN analyst Todd McShay tabbed him as one of his top-10 inside linebackers entering the season.
"I think his best football is still ahead of him," Gibson said. "I think he'll be a guy who will be a 10-12-year guy in the NFL."

Tennessee making lineup change, starting true freshman corner at Georgia
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee will start its fourth different combination of players in its secondary in as many games on Saturday at Georgia.
Vols défensive coordinator Bob Shoop didn't waffled when asked who his cornerbacks would be on Wednesday, revealing that true freshman Baylen Buchanan will make his first career start against his home state school opposite of Emmanuel Moseley.
"We're going to start with 28 (Buchanan) and 12 (Moseley),'" said Shoop whose defense forced Florida's offense to go three-and-out on seven of eight second-half possessions in the Vols' 38-28 win over the Gators on Saturday.
Junior Justin Martin is the odd man out of the starting rotation after getting beat on deep ball passes of 51 and 43 yards in the first quarter of the Florida game.
"We've had 285 snaps, 273 have been darn good, and 12 have been really bad snaps, and those 12 plays have accounted for a significant amount of yardage," Shoop said. "It's been three (big plays) a game, and if we eliminate those three bad snaps a game we've got a pretty good unit out there.
"Baylen has played well, Emmanuel played well last week … and we moved (nickleback) Malik Foreman back at corner a little bit this week, too, so there's some different things we're doing to get the right people on the field."
Buchanan, from Peachtree Ridge High School in Suwanee, Ga., is the son of 12-year NFL defensive back Ray Buchanan, a two-time Pro Bowl selection with the Indianapolis Colts and the Atlanta Falcons.
The No. 11-ranked Vols (4-0 1-0 SEC) play the No. 25-ranked Bulldogs (3-1 1-1) in a key SEC East Division battle at Sanford Stadium at 3:30 p.m. (TV: CBS).
The Tennessee secondary shuffle began against Ohio, when Foreman was suspended for a violation of team rules and Rashaan Gaulden started in his place at nickle.
Preseason All-SEC cornerback Cam Sutton suffered a fractured ankle in that Sept. 17 game, forcing the lineup change for the Gators.
Shoop said he talked to the athletic Martin about moving him out of the starting lineup, and used safety Todd Kelly Jr. as an example of how a player can improve from one week to the next.
"One of the cool things about sports, is when guys persevere," said Shoop, once a standout athlete himself, letting in football and baseball at Yale. "Todd Kelly didn't have a great game against Ohio and he came out and had maybe his best game as a Tennessee Vol this week, he had an interception and played the run really, really well.
"I talked to Justin about that. Being a corner in today's game is all about being long on confidence and short on memory, you correct the mistakes."

Carol Danvers is back in a new series and with a new name.
There's alot to like about this comic and alot not to like. There are some good moments and some moments that make it look like a half-assed/thrown together effort.
I'm going to start off by saying that I don't buy into the theory that a female writer should write female characters. I don't think it makes any difference what the sex of the writer is. A good writer will write good characters. And there's nothing in this issue that makes it stand out as any different then Carol Danvers has been portrayed before. What I mean is, she's always been a great character, handled pretty well by different writers and now that there's a female writer on the title it isn't any different.
That being said, DeConnick throws in some nice moments and they're mostly just background ones, not the main plot. Captain America joking that he's always tried to get Carol Danvers demoted is funny. Carol's comments about her raising the temperature by being in the room, that was nice and it's something that should be explored in more books. These people have super powers, we know what the active aspects of those are, but what are the passive? Carol runs hot because of her powers. That's interesting. That should be explored more and with other characters as well.
But there are some bad moments as well. Moments where the dialogue, decent for the most part, becomes clunky and cringe-worthy. Moments where the story kind of stutters along, not flowing. And some "huh" moments, where things aren't right. For a book that has three levels of editorial, how did they miss that the Avengers don't know Spider-Man's secret identity? He takes his mask off in front of her. They don't know his identity.
And Spider-Man and Ms (Captain) Marvel are members of the New Avengers, they hang out in Avengers Mansion, not the Tower. But then this probably takes place after AvX, so is this a bit of foreshadowing?
The issue misses a golden opportunity as well, one that would have made more sense then the reason given. Captain America urges her to take the Captain Marvel name, saying that the new costume makes it a good time to make the change. Didn't she just run into Mar-Vell in the pages of Secret Avengers? Shouldn't that have had some influence? More then just a costume change. But there's no mention of that. What a waste.
I think a different artist would have helped this out big time. Soy's work is messy. Carol is ugly in most scenes and what is up with the hair? It's hard to pin down just what is going on with the hair when she's in costume because when she's out of costume it's normal. But overall Soy's work doesn't flow well. The characters are oddly out of proportion. It's not the style that will make this book shine, which is a shame.
Captain Marvel has the ingredients to be a great book. It's close but just not there yet.

Material Design for Ionic
Ionic Framework is an amazing project and it's helped over 320,000+ hybrid applications to be built and submitted to the app stores. But what it lacks is Google's Material Design for the Android platform.
Why Material Design?
Ionic's success [in part] is the way it translates the "look and feel" of your application across platforms, whether that's the transition between views or the alignment of the title.
Yet Android is a second class citizen in Ionic, the "look and feel" is a midway between iOS and Android, using subtle changes but never actually reaching a true Android experience.
This isn't a slight against the Ionic team, Android has come a long way since the early days, where there was a wider level of inconsistency between Android versions and devices. Ionic had to be opinionated about it's design choices.
Ionic 2 will feature Material Design, but for those still using Ionic 1 there won't be any official support for Material Design.
Introducing Material Design for Ionic
The project's aims are simple. Bring Material Design's "look and feel" to the Android platform within Ionic; allowing Ionic Developers to build great apps without having to add custom directives or write logic to enable said "look and feel".
Buttons should automatically use the ripple animation on Android, when a user interacts with it; the developer shouldn't have to declare the button needs to enable the animation.
Primary action buttons should be displayed as Fabs etc.
Using Material Design Lite as a base to ensure the guidelines are met, each component within Ionic will be given the Material Design treatment.
The goal is to provide a complete set of Ionic components utilising the Material Design guidelines, then adding animation and transitions for elements on the screen, just like paper.
Many developers will want to include Material Design for their iOS applications, this will be possible by overriding the platform configuration through a dedicated config provider, as simple as:
It's still early days for the project, but support from the Ionic community and Drifty Co have been incredible.
I hope you'll come with us on this journey. I'm releasing RC1 31st August.
Checkout the project here: https://github.com/delta98/ionic-material-design-lite
What's next
Building onto the foundation set by the open source project, I am currently kickstarting a series of premium templates. These templates won't be available for free or found on github.
From as little as £8/$15 you can help make it happen. Check out the Kickstarter, back it and share it.
Thank you.

Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia: Navigating Memory Care
"Sun Health is paying attention and responding to the needs of the community."
Sun Health's Memory Care Navigator program provides a needed service to area residents
When Shirley Frizell began noticing a few years ago that her husband, Bill, was experiencing memory-related issues, one of her first instincts was to contact Sun Health's Memory Care Navigator program for guidance.
Shirley, a Sun City West resident, says doing so was the best move she ever could have made.
"It is a great service, and it is offered at no cost to the community," says Frizell, who is on the Sun Health Foundation Board of Trustees. "It is so needed by people out there like me."
The Memory Care Navigator program, which debuted in 2013, is funded solely by donations to Sun Health Foundation. Thus far, there have been more than 800 requests for assistance from those dealing with Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Amazingly, the program is currently composed of just one staff member, Marty Finley, M.Ed., who, during her initial assessment of clients, helps them and their families "navigate" the new path their lives have taken, offering resources, tips and plenty of support for patients and caregivers alike.
"Consultations are typically me sitting with the family in their home, listening and asking questions, "Finley says. "I develop what I all an action plan, and I give them 'homework' assignments. I get to help them and be someone they know they can count on. They know they can call me tomorrow or two years from now, and they do."
Frizell says during her first meeting with Finley, whom she calls "an angel," she learned what she needed to do to protect Bill and herself legally and in health-related matters.
Finley's homework recommendations for the Frizells included obtaining a Medical Alert Safe Return bracelet for Bill—in case he should wander and be unable to find his way home—and that Shirley attend a class on self-care skills for caregivers.
As a result, Frizell says she read everything about dementia and Alzheimer's disease that she could and was determined to find the best possible care for her husband, who moved to a home for memory care patients in January.
"I've learned more about memory care issues than I ever wanted to know," says Frizell, who's also become something of a spokeswoman for memory care advocacy, having spoken last year at an Alzheimer's fundraiser. "Because I was given help from Sun Health, Bill was able to get the help he needed."
Finley says the Frizells are fortunate because they knew about the Memory Care Navigator program through their involvement with Sun Health, as well as with other local community organizations such as Benevilla. Finley and Frizell have made it their goal to make sure everyone who could use the Memory Care Navigator program in this area knows about it.
Finley's caseload has been steadily rising since she started. With that in mind, Sun Health Foundation and advocates like Frizell are hoping to secure even more funding to expand the program.
"Sun Health is paying attention and responding to the needs of the community," Finley says. "If you have to have dementia, you are living in the best place because we are very resource rich in the West Valley."

YES! Absolutely!
Before, during, and after pregnancy!
For both Mommy and Baby!
(and yes, even daddy!)
Glutathione is always being required from our bodies and is consumed rapidly when we experience any sort of demand on the body, such as during pregnancy.
Many know the importance of folic acid (an antioxidant) and its importance during pregnancy to prevent birth defects. Yet the Master antioxidant, glutathione, and its vital importance during pregnancy, is unfortunately, very much overlooked.
Glutathione protects both mother and pre-born baby from the damages of oxidative stress and free radicals.
Many pregnancy complications and birth defects have been linked to free radical damage, oxidative stress, and low glutathione levels in the mother and developing baby.
Before pregnancy, glutathione plays a critical role in fertility, sperm count, and conception in the mommy and daddy to be.
In the beginning of the pregnancy glutathione can protect essential functions of the growing and developing embryo by controlling cell differentiation, proliferation, and cell death.
For the expectant mommy, glutathione provides her with a stable and natural source of energy, helps to balance moods and stabilize the emotional ups and downs of hormonal changes during and after pregnancy.
Glutathione also helps to prevent inflammation during pregnancy, as well as protect from gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia.
For the baby in the womb, glutathione protects from birth defects, helps to insure healthy growth and development, as well as protect and support the placenta.
In the placenta, glutathione detoxifies pollutants before they can reach the developing baby.
Even during labor and delivery, glutathione prevents, or at the very least, dramatically decreases the oxidative stress created during the birthing process.
The mother's lifestyle and environment around her affect the pregnancy dramatically and can further cause oxidative stress and lower glutathione levels.
Lower glutathione levels can result in miscarriages, abortions, and birth defects.
High levels of glutathione dramatically decreases the incidence of birth defects and protects both mommy and the growing baby in her womb from the damaging and possibly fatal consequences of pregnancy complications.
Glutathione also helps to regenerate stores of other antioxidants like Vitamin E, Vitamin C, and Folic Acid, which further protect both mommy and baby.
For mommies-to-be, it would be wise to supplement your diet with glutathione promoting nutrients.
One such product is called MaxGXL.
Are you interested in reading what an international researcher and world class doctor wrote about taking MaxGXL (thus increasing your Glutathione levels) before, during, and after pregnancy?

There are few things as delightful as a freshly brewed pot of tea.
Cool weather will be arriving soon, and that means time for me to stock up on tea and dried herbs for the teapot. When restocking the tea chest, I add herbs for medicinal use, especially those that help with the sniffles, coughs and colds so common in the fall and winter; and I also add plenty of herbs and teas purely for enjoyment ... read more here.

Festive walks at Claremont Landscape Garden
After days of Christmas leftovers and TV marathons, there's nothing better than getting out into the crisp winter air to refresh the senses. Claremont Landscape Garden is the perfect spot to bring the family for a gentle stroll over the Christmas holidays.
For an easy Boxing Day walk, take the short circular route around the lake, suitable for all the family (including the canine members) with level access throughout. Say hello to the waterfowl braving the cold - you could even bring along excess Christmas cake or dripping for the waterfowl, a real treat for them and preferable to bread. Admire the eighteenth-century grass amphitheatre, and enjoy a little greenery as you walk through corridors of laurel and rhododendron.
On New Year's Day, why not challenge yourself a little more with the longer route around the garden? You'll also be able to admire the view from the top of the Belvedere Tower, open on 1 Jan from 11am to 2pm.
When you've finished your walk, pop into the café for a warming drink and a slice of homemade cake, baked fresh daily. Indulge in a mince pie, guilt-free; every bite helps us preserve and protect Claremont's historic landscape for the future.

I know they can't quite understand the difference but they are noticing it. And all of this without plastic surgery which I would never consider given the risks of both surgery as well as the potential of looking worse than before. I am very happy with the results! I have had chronic sinus problems for several years and did not expect that Inge's 15 Anti-Aging Treatments would cure me of them! After treatment I noticed that I was able to easily breathe through my nose without the prescribed nasal spray I have been taking. Thank you Inge! Now I have a new face plus I can breathe again! "

Dream me will comment on a school's font choice (one of those circussy ones with heavy serifs and a few flourishes; "well I guess it was the seventies") but not on the fact that its letter listing every new student for this year alphabetizes "Dhadradessi" after names starting with X,Y, and Z. Then again after I blinked the last few names were listed in awkward attempts at constructing non-English characters out of a monospace typewriter font.
Also that is a hell of a name, which is still bouncing around my head. This post may serve as a reminder to ask Google if it's an actual name once I actually get up; I'm going back to sleep right now.

With everything moving so fast these days -and showing absolutely no signs of ever slowing down anytime soon- it's rare that we ever get the chance to really sit down and look at just how far we've come.
Take the world of digital graphics for example. It's the one reason we all came to a site like Renderosity in the first place, and yet so many of us are on the look out for the next big improvement to our work and the next evolution in adding a touch of hyper-realism to our digital art, that we likely take the huge advancements we've already made for granted.

How often do you come across an Think Tank report that doubles up as a genuine page-turner? Doubt such a thing even exists? Well, I'm here to tell you East African Prospects by ODI's David Booth, Brian Cooksey, Frederick Golooba-Mutebi and Karuti Kanyinga is that report.
Shockingly readable, unendingly quotable, and deeply entertaining, it's a kind of weary Hobbesian counterpart to the standard, pollyannaish hogwash that dominates so much think tank writing about aid.
Starting from Douglass North's analysis of Limited Access Orders, David Booth and his collaborators pick apart the political economy of Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda with rare clarity and insight.
There's a frankness to the writing that's like a balm. Take this bit of straight talk from the introduction:
Comparative history suggests that, as a group, the EAC countries will retain for some time yet most of the features of what North et al. (2009; 2013) call a limited access order (LAO). That is to say, the political and economic power of elite groups will remain closely entwined. Markets will not be highly competitive or inclusive. Capitalism will begin to take hold but in the form of 'crony capitalism' in which non-market relationships play a crucial role. The generation and allocation of economic rents will play an important role in limiting political violence and maintaining the fundamental agreements underlying the rules of a patronage-based political game. This will limit the use of rents to finance the learning processes and provide the market coordination required to turn fast economic growth into real economic transformation. It will also prevent politics and policy-making from becoming primarily a battle of ideas based on contending programmes or ideologies.
The feeling you're left with is that a grizzled old East Africa hand, somebody who's been around the block two dozen times and knows exactly how things go down, has decided to take you under his wing and is giving you the straight dope over beers.
What Booth and his colleagues have done is turn the Gates Foundation's formulation on its head: rather than Impatient Optimists, what we have here is the Patient Pessimists' view.
Booth et al. are pessimists, but not fatalists. It's an important distinction to grasp. The work of dispelling the facile fantasies of the Gates/Sachs set is the first step in their journey, not the final word. If they lay some unpleasant realities squarely on the table it's so you'll have a clearer grasp of what is achievable, how, and on what time-scale. The realities are somewhat sobering, but sobriety seems like a much needed corrective to the cycle of over-promising and under-delivering that so much of the aid world seems stuck in.
For now, I'll make it easy on you: if you're even a little bit interested in the region, you have to read it. The good news is, it's great fun to read.

Quick update picture of the shack @ 2E0RFU, much busier than the last photos.
I have copied this information from my free domain checker tool at dotUKwinner.com but I feel it is info that should be read by as many people as possible who have an interest in the .uk namespace. This guide is independent.my own interpretation and I am expressing no view either way on if I agree with the proposal or not.
On the 1st July 2013 Nominet, the not for profit company who are responsible for the registration of the majority of .uk extensions, announced a second consultation of their plan to allow registration at the second level of the .uk ccTLD. Previously the majority of UK registrations had been mad at the third level; i.e. somedomain.co.uk with the somedomain being the third level, co being the second level and uk being the first.
So Nominet's proposal is that they will allow under most circumstances users to register under the second level; i.e. somedomain.uk
There are a number of reasons explained in the consultation documents linked below as to why Nominet think this is necessary, with one of the primary being the increased competition to come from the generic top level domains such as the widely covered .london
A important part of the consultation is surrounding the release mechanism of the .uk extension, the normal release schedule of a new extension involves a number of stages with trademark owners getting first preference, then there is usually some auctions of premium domains and then a land-rush where it is every man, woman and child for himself. As .uk is not a new extension as such there has been some discussion since Nominet's original consultation as to who would get rights of first refusal on any given .uk. This is particularly of interest where the same name has been registered by a number of different people as a .co.uk, .org.uk and me.uk (and possibly the less used .sch.uk, .net.uk, .plc.uk and .ltd.uk).
Within the fist consultation there had been suggestion that the interested parties could enter a auction to see who would take the .uk, however this has now been removed from the version 2 and the current suggestion is that the oldest of the Nominet managed registrations getting first refusal the .uk with the others being able to register an interest in case the oldest does not choose to take the domain up within the suggested 6 month period. Whilst there is no detail as to exactly how this will happen the process will probably all be dealt with online and there will most likely be no postal communication.
The current suggested fee for a .uk is £5 per year, wholesale, a .co.uk currently is £3.50 for the same.
what this tool is here for is to enable you to assess which domain will "win" the .uk if the scheme goes ahead under the current proposal, it currently ignores .sch.uk domains as further clarification is required as to what date Nominet have as recorded as the registration date. Additionally Nominet are proposing to reserve approximately 150 domains for organisations who have lost their domains under the recent .gov.uk shake up. Finally there is probably going to be some difference with the 2 letter domains that where auctioned by Nominet a few years ago. One all these issues have been clarified I will update the tool.
I would actively encourage anyone reading this to take some time to read the proposals on Nominets site and if you feel you have something to add take part in the consultation, which ever side your views lie.
Thank You
Jon Byrne

A few days ago I was doing some security updates on my site as I had seen a number of reports of a recent spate of hacks on WordPress sites with the vulnerabilities coming not from the core WordPress code but 3rd party plugins which allowed the hackers to inject SQL Code and gain admin access to the install of WordPress.
On checking the security plugin I was watching the live site traffic where I could see there had been a number of failed attempts to gain access, however what caught my eye was a fair number of visits from a IP Address in Warrington, not that interesting you may think, but I noticed all of its visits where logged just after visits form my IP Address. To confirm my suspicions I attempted to load a page http://jonbyrne.com/areyouwatchingbigbrother/ which obviously gave a 404 error, however seconds later the Warrington IP Address tried to load the same page.
I took to Google and discovered that it was TalkTalk's Homesafe security scanner checking the site out which they do when ever an address is resolved though thier DNS Server, now this may seem innocuous and possibly useful, however I had not enabled TalkTalk Homesafe on my account and do not use TalkTalk's DNS Servers either, but use Google's Public DNS Service.
It is apparent that TalkTalk hijack or snoop on all DNS lookups and then store this in order to crawl the site shortly after. I can see that this would be useful for their customers who wish to use the HomeSafe protection, but to do this for people who have not enabled this strikes me that they are collecting this data for other business uses.
If you are a TalkTalk or other ISP Customer and are worried about this or just don't want them using this data without being clear and transparent then I would recommend OpenDNS's DNSCRYPT which I have tested and it seems to stop the TalkTalk Bot from following you around. Anyone using Fedora I would recommend the install guide here.
It would seem that this does not work and they possibly do not use DNS Hijacking / Snooping as the only method of following you around, I will do some more investigation and keep this post updated.
I would be interested if any other ISP's do the same.
Thank You
Here is an old but very interesting talk from Google's Matt Cutts. He talks about making changes, either by doing something new or stopping something, but doing it for 30 days. I think this fits in well with the Get Things Done methodology that I am starting to work with and I will probably try and integrate the two.
Anyway enjoy.
When planning my new Amateur Radio Shack in the cupboard under the stairs, ala Harry Potter, there was only one option when it came to furniture. Ikea.
Only in the big blue giant can you find nice and small furniture to make a usable workbench in a 75cm by 50 cm space without building it yourself.
Using 1 x LAIVA desk and 2 x RAST night stand I put together this.
The top RAST has the lower shelf not fitted as this leaves a large enough space for a 19 inch monitor if I decide to fit it, I plan staring off using my Nexus 7 for qrz lookups etc. connected them using a couple of straight brackets on either side and this gives enough rigidity as to not miss the second shelf. A 6 way power strip sat in the cable tray that the LAIVA powering two LAGRA clamp lights and a RIGEL hook as a headphone holder and the space is complete.
And from the outside looking in through the Hobbit sized door.
Now complete on vero board and cased up in a Ramsey Electronics Receiver case that I picked up a couple of at a Radio Rally, for the final version I swapped the 22K potentiometer for a 100k one, it give a much finer control over the volume. I also took a minute to swap the plug over on my Czech Morse Key.
Just needs some gluing inside and possibly some decals for the front.
Another site with info on this kit is M0MTJ's site. The Czech Morse key is from the aptly named Czech Morse Key who also do a practise oscillator, in kit or built form.
I am currently in the process of learning Morse Code with the plan to get on air by the end of the year. I fancied a practice oscillator and being the cheap skate I am I was not happy spending upwards of £20 on a glorified buzzer.
I had spotted a few plans for some 555 based designs but know from my 555 synth experiments that the sound you can generate from them is not especially nice. So after some googling I spotted that Kent Morse Keys do a kit for their practise oscillator, and whilst it is not to unreasonably priced they also provide a circuit diagram. So a quick order from http://www.bitsbox.co.uk/ for about £6 posted I had all the parts except the circuit board that you would get in the kit, I also end up with plenty of spares. Service from Bits Box is very fast, the order was with me next day.
I had a spare hour this afternoon, so I breadboarded the design up to check all was in order, and here are the results.
And here is Alfie on the Key
I will try and get it soldered onto some vero board and in an enclosure this weekend.
Thanks for reading
Played my first game of Solo Combat Zone tonight after picking it up last September as a birthday treat, the value of this game is second to none and after painting the figures after being distracted by painting a load of EM4's bargain Orcs & Dwarfs and the start of an epic Dalek force I finally the figures from the box set painted (and a fair few others from the same range)
So tonight I played the first game of many I am sure, the rules are good and after a thorough read and few turns the Quick Reference guide is all that you need.
A quick shot of tonight's "teams". (sorry for the poor picture)
I hope to enjoy plenty more games in the future.
Thank You
As requested by some members of the FISTS mailing list I have scanned the doc's for the PIXIE I built for my Intermediate practical. They where drawn up by David G0VIE

This maybe something some of you have come across before but as someone who has used WordPress for about 5 years I was not aware there was a out of the box package to run a test\dev instance WordPress locally on your Windows machine with no configuration required.
Instant WordPress is a a simple .exe which just a gnats hair over 54MB and contains a webserver with PHP and MYSQL fully configured to run WordPress 3.3.2. Plugins, updates and themes work just as you would expect and it runs very nicely. I have found it very useful in working on plugins and themes, hopefully some of you will too.

Aerial photograph of military ships on the Hudson from 1945, overlooking the Soldiers and Sailors monument via Amazon,
One of the fun facts we learned on our recent Openhousenewyork architectural tour of the Hudson River was that military ships were once a familiar presence on the Hudson River in Upper Manhattan. We went around digging for vintage photos to see if this occurrence had been documented.
Image discovered via Reddit NYC, with much debate whether this is construction of the George Washington Bridge or the Mid-Hudson Bridge
Manhattan was once a prominent hub for naval activity— especially in the early to mid-twentieth century. World War II, in particular, ushered in the acme years of shipbuilding in New York City, during which the Port of New York had forty active shipyards. The ships in the Hudson were a part of the U.S. Reserve Fleet, which not only stationed ships on the East Coast, but also in states as far as Oregon. Although the Hudson River Reserve Fleet once numbered at an impressive 189 ships, its figures slowly diminished until the last two ships were finally sold as scrap metal in 1971.
The maritime tradition eventually went into decline following the end of the war, and not even the Brooklyn Navy Yard was spared from closure in 1966. As for New York's military boats, they were either dismantled and recycled, turned into museum sites, or "mothballed"— that is, placed into a reserve fleet in case of an emergency.

/a/ I love you!!!!
Saying that this is an ass thread while only posting one image is a request.
I'm not requesting anything. I have plenty more ass pictures.
If it weren't for those daily threads, you'd think /a/ wasn't populated by horny 15 year-olds.
The mods and janitors are the ones who don't delete them.
While I'll admit that I'm not especially bothered, I do have to wonder, OP, why you made this thread here and not on /e/ as this seems to be what that board was made for.
I was drunk. Now that I'm a bit more sober, perhaps I'll move it there instead.

G-String? No, it is a multifunctional condom invented by Guangzhou students
China Economy Updated:Sat, Nov 16, 2013 07:12 AM By Bernd Chang
Structure of the multifunctional condom (or contraceptive G-string if you like to call): 1. G-String part, 2. Condom part, 3. Vertical streaks, 4. Anti-skidding microcapsules, 5. Sacs, 6. Elastics
A group of six university students from Guangzhou have invented a new fashion of G-String shaped condoms which they claim are more capable of preventing people from contracting sexual diseases.
Sex feeling, G-string, condom are all embarrassing words for most Chinese, but for 20-year-old university junior girl student Kong Yan from the Guangzhou based South Medical University, they are what she talks about almost everyday, Yangcheng Evening News reported.
Thinking the current style of condoms are too small in preventing people from contracting sexual diseases, Kong Yan and four other girls and one male student established a team named "Orient Rise-up" dedicated to the invention of a new fashion of condoms.
After several months of research, the 6-member team invented a detachable G-string shaped condom which they named "Guardian of Love".
Instead of oily lubricant usually provided with a routine condom, the young university students use watery lubricant flavored with Chinese herbs in their invented condom.
And this product is supposed to be used by sex workers rather than family members, they were told by a sexual disease expert.
The ambitious students are now applying for patents for their invention, registering as a company and inviting investors for their multifunctional condoms (or contraceptive G-string) which they expect to snatch a share of the profitable global condom market.
Take a look at their invention above and we wish the young inventors and entrepreneurs good luck.

I begin my posting with this information.
{Ramat Gan borders Tel Aviv - Yaffo to the east. Founded in 1921 as a small town named Ir Ganim (garden city), it offered its residents a quiet village-like lifestyle while benefiting from the nearby emerging metropolitan city. Two years later the town was renamed Ramat Gan.
Jewish immigration waves in the 1930's and 40's saw a rapid urbanization process and city status was gained in 1950 with 22,000 inhabitants. The following years were defined by a large immigration wave of Jewish refugees mostly from Iraq, tripling the city's population to 62,000 inhabitants in 1955.
The city's current borders were formed in 1961 when Bar-Ilan University (one of three academic institutions in the city, itself with more than 16,000 students) and Tel-HaShomer Hospital (Israel's largest to date) and surrounding small neighborhoods were annexed to the city.}
The annoying me.
If I were the writer of this website I would be extremely choosy of words used to describe certain actions or references. Especially if it could be showing something of the reality or the truth. Now annexed like any other words of English have more than one meaning. The meaning of annexed is as follows:
–verb (used with object)
1. to attach, append, or add, esp. to something larger or more important.
2. to incorporate (territory) into the domain of a city, country, or state: Germany annexed part of Czechoslovakia.
3. to take or appropriate, esp. without permission.
4. to attach as an attribute, condition, or consequence.
The meaning of immigrant is defined as follows:
1. a person who migrates to another country, usually for permanent residence.
2. an organism found in a new habitat.
Hmm. I wonder if these words and definitions are familiar with some of us.

ALL IN A LIFETIME An Autobiography. By Ruth K. Westheimer with Ben Yagoda. Illustrated. 225 pp. New York: Warner Books. $17.95.
MIDWAY into Ruth K. Westheimer's autobiography, we learn that, during her student days in Paris, she polished her French on the uncomplicated prose of cheap romance novels. A little later, newly arrived in America, she found her way around English with the help of confessions magazines. These modest details may not illuminate the author but they throw some light on the intentions of her book, not to mention her literary influences. What we have here in ''All in a Lifetime,'' written with the help of Ben Yagoda, is a portrait of ''Dr. Ruth,'' skin deep.
It may well be enough to satisfy fans of this tiny, chirpy woman who, in not quite eight years, has become the broadcast media's stellar maven on mattress matters. We know Dr. Ruth as the resident authority of the nationally syndicated radio program ''Sexually Speaking,'' as well as a nightly cable television show that addresses the same subject. Three books on happy coupling also wear her name; so does the ''Good Sex'' board game and, for those for whom good is never good enough, the ''Terrific Sex'' video cassette. Her detractors, and there are a few, who imagine that there is hardly any opportunity she will refuse for the sake of the added attention, should know that she has passed up Dr. Ruth dolls, Dr. Ruth sex therapy clinics, Dr. Ruth popcorn and a Dr. Ruth rap song.
What is unsettling about the book is that it begins in tragedy and hippity-hops into giddiness. She was Karola Ruth Siegel, aged 10, of Frankfurt, Germany, when the S.S. came and carried off her father. A few weeks later, in January 1939, she boarded the ''Kinder transport,'' a train that bore 100 German Jewish children to the safety of Switzerland; her family, whom she never saw again, would be consumed by the Holocaust.
By her report, the care conferred on the young refugees by their Swiss guardians was dutiful if unloving. At the home for exiles, children of her age were set to work tending younger ones and cleaning. When World War II ended, the 17-year-old orphan found her way to an Israeli kibbutz where life was only marginally better. The old Polish settlers were contemptuous of these Germans who had lacked the sense to flee Europe earlier. Newcomers were assigned menial chores regardless of their gifts or aspirations.Continue reading the main story
Along with this capsule history, we discover that as a child Dr. Ruth collected June bugs and fed them lettuce; that in Switzerland she saw American movies and doted on Shirley Temple; that she lost her virginity on a starry night in the hayloft of a barn on the kibbutz and it was a worthwhile experience. As for other sex, some women may be drawn to character, intelligence and kindness, but Dr. Ruth, as she lets us know every few pages, has an adolescent's yen for almost every pretty male face she sees.
She became a kindergarten teacher, married and moved to Paris, where her husband pursued a medical education and she began studies at the Sorbonne. After they divorced, she traveled to the United States with a lover who would father the first of her two children and become her second husband. On her second day here, the young visitor came across an ad in a German-language newspaper announcing that the New School for Social Research was offering a scholarship toward a master's degree in sociology for a victim of the Nazis. On her fourth day in America, she embarked on her graduate studies.
By 1967, Dr. Ruth had married for the third time and was at work on a research project at Columbia University. When the money ran out, she found a job with Planned Parenthood, training women to teach sex education. After the first day's work, she came home to report to Fred Westheimer, her husband, ''These people are crazy! They talk about sex all day long!'' Dr. Ruth adjusted; the rest is history.
The Swiss caretakers of her childhood, Dr. Ruth writes, drummed an indelible lesson into their charges: never complain. In consequence, although she is a relentless conversationalist, she reports her friends fret that she rarely has much to say about her feelings. The vacancy is all too conspicuous here. Conceivably, during all those years of hiding emotions she lost the capacity to explore them. Probably it's churlish to find fault with her reticence. As she whirls through the fringe benefits of her latter-day celebrity - and she loves it all, the fancy restaurants, the limos, the luxury flights, the classy clothes - she is wholly transformed into her television persona, a figure of irresistible kitsch. ''Having people like and approve of me,'' she confides, ''is very, very important to me.'' Really. HER FIRST ROOM
Now, baby-sitting in Israel at that time wasn't like baby-sitting in America today, where when the kids go to bed you can do your homework or watch TV. No, while they were sleeping I had to iron or sew. Luckily, I had had good training in Switzerland so I could iron fast and maybe get in an hour of studying before I went home. Then, lying in bed, I'd study till I couldn't stay awake anymore.
I lived in a residence for young women, like a Y or youth hostel, and I had my own room for the first time in my life. From the first I was popular, and I loved it. Later I moved into a room in the second story of the house of the widow of a famous Israeli. I got it for almost no rent in return for doing errands and watching over her. One night a fellow visited me, and when it came time for him to leave, I couldn't get the door open. It was unthinkable that he should stay there overnight - this was not the kibbutz, after all - so I tied two sheets together and he climbed out the window. From ''All in a Lifetime.''Continue reading the main story

This week the Valens Securities team highlights our most interesting equity insight from across our tools and our analysis.
Cirrus has strong management alignment, favorable fundamentals and is making smart strategic decisions, even with near-term potential headwinds, overly pessimistic market valuations signal opportunity for equity upside
CRUS has done an excellent job maintaining and improving their business over the past eight years as they have grown in both the Apple and Android ecosystem, using their premium offerings to maintain strong profitability. However, the market is expecting both their ability to drive growth in market share, and profitability sustainability, to severely erode going forward, with ROA' falling by half and growth slowing too.

I'm Ian Landsman, founder of UserScape. We've been building B2B software solutions since 2005 when we launched our flagship help desk app, HelpSpot.
I looked at all the NPS solutions out there. Some are nice, but none matched how I thought about NPS.
Most are focused on continuous NPS where I prefer to send surveys quarterly or semi-annually. All were exorbitantly expensive.
We've run HelpSpot profitably and without outside funding for over 12 years. That means I get to take little adventures from time to time. Thermostat is one of them!
I hope you'll join me in bringing NPS to more businesses and organizations.

Enjoy Easy Weight Loss Success 57
It can be difficult to stick to a weight loss plan. It may seem easy to begin with, when our goals don't seem so far away. Then, your motivation takes a hit and you just do not feel like you want to do this anymore and feel like you want to give up. It does not happen to everyone, though. People do succeed in losing weight and keep it off for years. How do people maintain their goal weight for so long?The first thing you need to do when thinking about weight loss is figure out what your goals are. Have you calculated how much weight you want to lose? What is your overall goal for weight loss? What about clothes? Would you like to twitter.com/phen375_guide - Phen375 Side Effects - go down a size or two, or maybe fit into your current wardrobe better? Are you looking to increase your endurance our are looking to improve your physical appearance?Check and document your progress on a weekly basis. Write things down in a journal and make sure you weigh in at least once a week. Your journal should include a food diary so that you can keep track of your daily eating habits. Writing down what you are eating will make you more conscious of what you eat.Being hungry can lead to poor food choices. Try to make decisions about what to eat and when to eat before you are feeling those intense hunger pangs. Do not wait until you are extremely hungry to eat. Be sure to plan your meals carefully and have snacks available. Instead of eating at a restaurant for lunch, you should bring your lunches from home. Doing this can help you save both money and calories! When you are very hungry, you tend to make poor, unhealthy choices about the food you eat. Don't wait until you're starving to sit down to a meal. Pre-plan your daily meals and have a few healthy snacks at hand. Bring your lunch with you instead of going out to eat. Making this change will save you money and help you lose weight.Losing weight starts with both healthy eating and frequent exercise. Adhering to an exercise routine as part of a fitness plan is difficult for many people, although they may find switching to healthy eating habits a bit simpler. Working out with a friend or choosing an enjoyable activity are ways that you can make your fitness plan easier to follow on a long-term basis. If you can, do them both. Take a walk with a friend or take an exercise class with them.If your home is full of bad food options, it can be difficult to cease consuming them. By simply replacing unhealthy foods with healthy snacks in your fridge and cupboard, you can change your eating habits. Be sure to have plenty of healthy options available, such as veggies, fruits and nutritious snacks. If you do not have junk food in your cupboards you will be less likely to overinduldge. Having healthy food within easy reach while you have to go out to get junk food makes you far more likely to choose the healthy food.Talk to your friends, and envelop yourself with their support. Your friends are sure to want to help. If you are surrounded with positivity and people who support you, your chances of success will increase dramatically. These people can give you the motivation you need to carry on. If you feel down or unmotivated, reach out to your friends for support.

Ron Kessler, an expert on the US Secret Service, says it is "standard for the Secret Service to have these kinds of costs." It's a practice that he says goes back at least to Richard Nixon administration.
And he says that in the end it may actually "save the government money" because without renting space agents working to protect the President-elect could be staying in hotels. By renting at Trump Tower they can live in the building during the Trump presidency.

New Cockroach Discovered In The US Notable To Withstand Cold Climate, Study SaysBy May Shella Mojana-Macuha on Dec 10, 2013 in Animals, Science, United States, World •
found on New York City's High Line in 2012.
Credit: Lyle Buss, Univ. of Florida
A new cockroach species has been discovered in the United States crawling around an outdoor tourist destination in New York City. The cockroach has been positively identified as Periplaneta japonica which is well documented in Asia.
Report says, the new cockroach had never been seen in the United States before until it was spotted on 2012 by an exterminator working on the High Line, an elevated old railway and park on Manhattan's West Side. He is not familiar with the insect, so he sent the carcasses to the University of Florida for identification.
According to researchers at Rutgers University in New Jersey, the new species named Periplaneta japonica was known to be native in Japan. It can survive not just indoors where it's warm, but it is also notable for its ability to withstand in cold climates compared to the American cockroaches that take shelter indoors when winter comes.
The confirmation of the presence of the new cockroach species in the United States was documented by Rutgers insect biologists Jessica Ware and Dominic Evangelista. It was revealed in a study just published in the Journal of Economic Entomology called "Using DNA Barcodes to Confirm the Presence of a New Invasive Cockroach Pest in New York City."
Rutgers insect biologist Jessica Ware said, "About 20 years ago colleagues of ours in Japan reared nymphs of this species and measured their tolerance to being able to survive in snow. As the species has invaded Korea and China, there has been some confirmation that it does very well in cold climates, so it is very conceivable that it could live outdoors during winter in New York. That is in addition to its being well suited to live indoors alongside the species that already are here."
Researchers said that it is not certain how the cockroach arrived in the US, but they suspect that one or more of the ornamental plants arrived in soil to adorn the High Line Park may contain the new cockroach.
"Many nurseries in the United States have some native plants and some imported plants, so it's not a far stretch to picture that that is the source," Ware said as quoted in a report.
