Dave Johnson Appointed Chief Client Officer and Christine Bensen Named Head of iCrossing's Media Practice
Dave Johnson Appointed Chief Client Officer and Christine Bensen Named Head of iCrossing's Media Practice
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Sep 11, 2014) - iCrossing, a global digital marketing agency, promoted two executives to lead its client service and media practices. Current Chief Operating Officer (COO) Dave Johnson will take on the role of Chief Client Officer (CCO), where he will manage the agency's growing client roster, which includes Charles Schwab, PetSmart and the recently announced Belk account. Christine Bensen, svp, media, will lead iCrossing's media practice, which encompasses search marketing, digital video and display, media planning and buying, analytics and paid social media.
As CCO, Johnson is charged with overseeing the agency's client service and business development teams, supporting client satisfaction and driving growth across the portfolio. An agency veteran with over 20 years of client experience, Johnson will provide executive-level counsel to brands and leadership to iCrossing's account teams. He will also continue to support international operations as COO.
"Dave has a proven track record working with clients and has been a key contributor to iCrossing's success," said Brian Powley, global president of iCrossing. "As our client roster and relationships expand, it is critical that we have someone with Dave's intelligence, character and dedication to excellence to lead our client teams."
As senior vice president of media, Bensen will direct the agency's media practice, which delivers a full-service digital media offering for clients such as DIRECTV, Pep Boys and Charles Schwab. Bensen, who replaces Jonathan Adams in the role, previously managed iCrossing's national display team, ad operations, and the Digital Media Strategy (DMS) and Digital Media Insights (DMI) groups, which drive success for brands through the integration of data and insights into all forms of digital media.
"Christine has the right combination of industry savvy, experience, and leadership to guide our media practice in an increasingly complex media environment," said Powley. "She places a premium on both analytical and creative thinking and maintains laser focus on delivering ROI for our clients."
Recently, iCrossing bolstered its media offering through the introduction of iCrossing SearchAi, the first agency solution that drives audience-based search targeting through Google Remarketing Lists for Search Ads (RLSA). Through the use of Hearst audience data, SearchAi creates a more complete picture of who is searching for a given keyword -- including elements such as age, gender, life stage, purchase intent, and interests -- allowing advertisers to more effectively target specific audiences.
"At iCrossing we're always looking for innovative ways to bring our clients closer to their customers. With the introduction of tools like SearchAi -- an offering no other digital agency provides -- we are continuing to build on our media and technology roots to bring first-to-market solutions to our clients," said Powely.
Johnson, who is based in Chicago and will continue to report to Powley, has worked at iCrossing since 2007 as COO and before that served as North American president at Agency.com. Previously, Johnson founded the interactive agency Digital Vision Communications, which he sold to Agency.com.
Prior to iCrossing, Bensen was executive vice president, media director at Moxie where she worked with brands such as Verizon Wireless, L'Oreal USA and Fox Theatrical and Home Entertainment. She is based in iCrossing's San Francisco office and will report directly to Powley.

President Bush met with German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder at the White House Thursday. The men discussed the global economy and the war on terrorism.
President Bush thanked Chancellor Schroeder for sending German peacekeeping troops to Afghanistan and for offering to help develop a new Afghan police force. Mr. Bush said Germany and the United States are "linked up well" in a mutual desire "to leave the world more peaceful."
Following their Oval Office meeting, Mr. Schroeder said it is crucial for Afghanistan to develop its own police and military to maintain security once international peacekeepers leave.
The German chancellor is the first European leader to meet with Mr. Bush since international criticism surfaced about the treatment of suspected terrorists being held at a U.S. military base in Cuba. German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer has said those detainees should be treated as prisoners of war.
President Bush says all those in U.S. custody are being treated in the spirit of the Geneva conventions but will not be classified as prisoners-of-war because they are not part of a national army. It is an important distinction as prisoners of war are not required to divulge information about future military operations. Under their current designation as "unlawful combatants," the detainees in Cuba are being interrogated about possible future terrorist attacks.
Before a meeting with Congressional leaders Thursday, Chancellor Schroeder said there was "no reason to doubt" that detainees held by the U.S. military in Cuba are being treated "in accordance with the U.S. Constitution and international law."
The leaders also discussed the global economy with Chancellor Schroeder complimenting President Bush on indications that the U.S. recession may be ending. The German leader said there are positive signals, including a slight rise in U.S. Gross Domestic Product, that are good news not only for the U.S. economy but for the global economy as well.
Chancellor Schroeder has economic problems of his own at home with a growing budget deficit and German unemployment approaching four million. His government has lowered projections of annual economic growth to less than one percent.

Determining Size and Concentration of Gold Nanoparticles via Ultraviolet-Visible Spectrophotometer
by Sanim Rahman
Submitted : Fall 2015
The concentration and size of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) that were produced through the Turkevich method were determined by utilizing the absorption at the Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) peak. By using a Perkin Elmer Lambda 35 UV/Vis spectrophotometer, the wavelength and absorption at the SPR peak were determined.
With the absorption, the concentration of GNPs suspended in solution was calculated through Beer-Lambert's law. With the UV-VIS data, the average diameter of the GNPs in the solution was determined. The ratio of the absorption at the SPR peak and the absorption at 450 nanometers was used to calculate the average size of the produced gold nanoparticles. The recorded sizes were then compared to an SEM scan of the produced GNPs and values from Sigma-Aldrich.

My sweet Joshua suffers from congestion with possible allergies. In the upcoming fall and winter months, he tends to get colds more easily than my other children where, on occasion, it goes to his lungs and causes a mild asthma attack. He has an inhaler/nebulizer, but obviously, I'd prefer to keep his lungs from getting irritated in the first place.
One great way to help is to regularly use a cool mist humidifier. And our new Crane Adorable Humidifier is the perfect solution. This BPA-free humidifer uses quiet ultrasonic technology that can deliver up to 24 hours of cool, soothing moisture. It helps provide non-medicated relief for dry coughs, colds, nasal congestion, and dry skin.
Isn't this humidifier absolutely adorable? That would explain why it's part of the Crane Adorables line of products. And there's many more adorable characters to choose from, including a duck, elephant, owl, even Hello Kitty and Spongebob!
These humidifiers are more than just cute; they're very effective and user-friendly. The Crane Cool Mist humidifier doesn't need filters or fancy pieces. You simply fill up the unit with water. If you have lots of minerals in your water, you'll want to use filtered or distilled water to keep it from getting clogged. Our tap water is very soft, so this wasn't an issue for us.
Screw the lid on…
…and stack the pieces together.
And turn it on with the simple dial that allows you to easily move from light mist to heavier mist.
The Crane Cool Mist holds 1 gallon of water. The automatic shut off feature is one of my favorite parts of this humidifier. If the water runs out, I don't have to worry about it overheating; it just turns off! I've always been a little paranoid about things catching fire, especially near my children, and I was constantly checking the water level of our old cheap humidifier. The automatic shut-off feature alone makes this Crane humidifier 100% worth the cost, in my opinion – you can't put a price on peace of mind for mom!
Another added benefit of cool mist humidifiers is that they can help sooth dry skin. Joshua has mild eczema that flares up more in the cold dry winter months so this will be great.
A few other advantages: there's no worries about kids getting burned like with a warm mist, and this unit is very quiet and compact. You can hardly hear it so it won't keep anyone awake at night.
It's not quite fall yet and so far, everyone is still healthy. Hopefully, we'll stay that way, but once the cooler fall months kick in and that first seasonal cold creeps in, I know we'll have our handy Crane Dog Cool Mist Humidifier handy.
I highly recommend the Crane Adorables Cool Mist humidifiers – it's perfect for both moms and kids. And for the quality and convenience that these units offer, I think the price is very reasonable too.
You can purchase Crane Humidifiers at Sylvane.com or on (affiliate link) Amazon.

Makeup Revolution- Liquid Eyeliners
Hello guys,
Finally I am have my blogging muse once again and I will start doing reviews of some of my favorite and even least favorite beauty products.
Today I want to talk about 2 of my favorite liquid eyeliner by Make-up revolution, the "Amazing Eyeliner in black" and waterproof and the "Awesome Eyliner felt and Kohl".
I have to say that these are the best eyeliners that you shall find, at this ridiculous cheap price. There are definitely other good eyeliners in the market but I haven't encountered good ones that are this cheap, cause for sure they all cost more than 6 euros minimum. The "Amazing" liner costs 1.50 sterling (approx 2:50euros)while the "Awesome" liner is 3.50(approx 5 euros).
From their names you can realize that they were not kidding when they named these liners "Awesome" and "Amazing", cause they are indeed. My favorite is the waterproof version of amazing cause it doesn't smudge and it stays put a whole day. I also love the thin brush, as it give you the ability to draw at any thickness you need. But it is also slightly firm, especially for those that find it tough to apply eyeliner. Another good factor is that it will last you for a good 3 months, if you apply eyeliner often, it might even last you longer.
Then the Awesome liner is a perfect eyeliner for when you are on the go and you feel kinda lazy to be painting the Mona liza a winged liner. It has 2 felt pens one is thin and the other is thicker for when you want to be a little bit more adventurous. The only downer is that it isn't waterproof, so if by any chance you decide to touch it, it will transfer. But if it doesn't rain and you are not watching the Notebook, you don't have to worry about your eyeliner. It will remain intact.
Overall I am pretty pleased with these liners, I use them everyday for work. I love how easy I can create any shape and thicknesses with both liners, but my fav has to be the Amazing liner. Also that it is a very dark black colour, cause some liners to be a charcoal grey rather than an actual black. Of course you can find these beauties at their own website, and I suggest you to stock these as much as you can 😀
Have you tried them out? if so let me know what you think 🙂 Please don't forget to show some love and like my facebook page and you can also follow me on Instagram and Bloglovin

Foxtrot! is a story of eggs, and one daddy fox's quest to get them to feed his famished cubs.
It's a treat visually, with delightful old school stylings fronted on a 2D surface, It had that washed out look that isn't displeasing to the eye, and a decent helping of primary colors. The characters move along with the expected retro gait, and, with the old school animations, the looks department come together nicely.
Playing the game is helped by getting into the tutorial. It teaches the control set for the game: tapping and holding on either side of the screen moves our fox in the corresponding direction. Double tapping allows the fox jump, but also is an action button near doors and such. In general, the goal is to get from point A to point B (while gathering keys and eggs), which represents the successful collection of eggs. At first, said quest is relatively easy, with Neville simply getting dressed and moving on. Then, togglable elevators get tossed in, and these require some timing to navigate properly.
Eventually, there are other dangers. The structures become tougher to travel through, and then there are dangers like spikes and irate chickens. The developer does some great things with latent levels; just when one might think they have reached the end of a challenging level, an elevator might lift him to a hitherto unseen part of the same level. In the one, there are two banks of lifts, one up and down. The way the level is designed forces the use of the down lifts, even though going up is the goal. These elements of the gameplay are quite refreshing.
A failed level can be repeated as often as necessary; completing automatically bumps one to the next.
While I never really cottoned to the controls — the jump mechanism felt finicky at times — overall, it's a nice effort, definitely worth trying out, especially with the one-shot pricing.

Another relative is the noun "gull," referring to a person who is easy to cheat - no relation to the familiar word for a sea bird, which is of Celtic origin.

H e's been on the blues circuit 37 years, starting as a sideman for Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf. Despite some acclaimed early records, his output over the past few decades has been admittedly mediocre, with badly recorded albums on obscure labels.
Suddenly, here is Buddy Guy, doing more interviews than he imagined there were journalists, playing every live gig he's offered, promoting an album with as many pop names on it as blues, appearing on all manner of TV programs, even showing up in his first music video, of all things.

So you've purchased a heifer (okay, let's be honest, a share of a heifer) for your favorite do-gooder cousin, and you've ordered your plush heifer to go with it. What's next?
Wrap it up! But don't just use the same-old wrapping paper tucked back in your coat closet from last year.
|CustomXM lets you support Heifer AND get your
holiday geek on.
Check out this awesomely geeky giftwrap called QRWrap from CustomXM. It's awesome because if you choose Heifer International when you order, a $10 contribution will be made to Heifer (the $3 you'll pay for shipping and taxes won't, of course). It's geeky because the giftwrap is covered in a QR code, which you can connect to a photograph of your dog wearing reindeer antlers, the URL of your favorite website (heifer.org wouldn't be a bad choice, hint hint), or holiday message or video.
Lot's of possibilities here!

1. What are the sculptures made of?Most of my works I do of velvet clay. Is a lightweight, very pleasant and safe material. You can also buy it in my shop in section "Tools and Materials": https://www.etsy.com/ru/shop/DemiurgusDreams?section_id=127774142. How should you properly handle and display these sculptures?Do not break; do not give into the hands of small children. Keep out of reach of pets. The animals like to chew this clay. Do not keep in dusty places. The best option for display and safekeeping it is on a shelf behind glass. For maximum safety, I recommend using glass cover, or some kind of display case.Do not wash figures in water. It will cause irreparable damage. A sculpture will not dissolve or break, but cleaning with water will spoil the finish. To remove dust, I recommend using a dry or slightly damp squirrel brush or wrung sponge.3. Are the sculptures strong enough to survive shipping?Yes, the figures are very easy for shipping. Because of the lightweight, they will not break, even if the postal workers are not careful. Subtle details are a bit elastic. If you do not break them on purpose, they are perfectly preserved.4. Do you take orders?I do not take orders. Only ready to ship and actual listings with "MADE TO ORDER" in the title. My special request is not to ask about the red fox in the profile picture!5. What to do if the postal parcel takes longer then the planned time?I will never send a parcel without tracking number. Sometimes shipping from my country takes a long time. I can not influence the mail, unfortunately. If the parcel is more than a month - I'm going to write an application for a search investigation of any missing packages.Sometimes, instead of shipping by air plain, they ship by ground mail which takes longer and can be slow up to three months, because Russia is very big, and it takes a long time to drive out of the country. In any case, if the parcel is lost, I'll give you the full money refund, but please keep in mind that I will give a full refund after you wait for up to three months so we can determine that it is truly lost. I can give a part refund if you wait for only a month and a half up to the amount of 200.00.The shipping process is very safe, but weather and conditions can get in the way of it being delivered on time.6. What guarantees do you have, that you will return the money for a lost package in three months?My reputation is very important to me, I don't want to receive any negative feedback or complaints from the Etsy feedback system. I have no intention of giving my work, or my shop a bad name. and it goes beyond bad businessI worked on my style for 6 years. Now I can say that it is quite recognizable. I'm not going to leave my creative work, or stop sculpting. A bad reputation will find me everywhere. My guarantee is my name and my work.

Non-standard Materials
Building a PC case is a project that many enthusiasts think about, but never embark on. It can be a daunting task. Laying out a case so it is easy to use and provides sufficient cooling is more difficult than it looks. There is also the question of materials. Most cases are made out of metal, and metal-working is out of the arena of those who do not own or have access to a well equipped workshop. Metal itself is also expensive and good-quality raw materials can be difficult to acquire if you are not already familiar with where to buy them.
Making a case out of wood resolves these issues. It can be worked with just a saw and a drill, it is cheap, and it is easy to acquire. Wood also provides a case with a unique look and is particularly appropriate for a home theater PC. This brief guide covers the basics of how to build a case using wood.
- slide 2 of 7
Designing the Case
Imitation is the highest form of flattery. While it is fully possible to design a case using an exotic plan built with a 3D rendering tool or even CAD program, this is a basic guide. For people building their first case it is advisable to find a case that you like and then copy what is attractive. Take note of where the PSU mounted, where the drive bays are located, and where the fans are placed. If you don't mind spending the extra dough its even possible to buy a case, partially disassemble it, and use portions of it in the design of the case being built. Is it cheating? Kind of. But it is difficult to build a hard drive mount that is better than what Antec and Coolermaster have already come up with.
Once you've designed a basic layout its time to start measuring so it can be fine-tuned into a workable plan. Open the PC's current case and measure the size of all components inside. This includes length, depth and height. Remember to add about a quarter of an inch to the height of anything mounted to the motherboard because the motherboard is in fact suspended a quarter of an inch in the air by the motherboard spacers. Also remember that hard drives and optical drives must be mounted to something besides the walls of the case, and so the space of their enclosures, be they custom ones or ones ripped from another case, must be compensated for.
- slide 3 of 7
Getting Around the Problems of Wood
There are two major issues with using wood for a PC case. The first issue is heat. The second issue is vibration.
Heat can become a problem because a wood case is not going to transfer heat from the inside of the case to the outside in the same way as a metal case. It is not entirely inaccurate to think of a metal case as a kind of heatsink. The metal is thin and transfers heat well. Heat inside the case transfers easily into the room. Wood does not have this characteristic. Airflow is therefore critical. Make sure that there is an exhaust fan for both the GPU and CPU, and make sure that intake fans provide proper airflow over the hard drives.
Vibration can be an even trickier problem. Wood tends to resonate, which means that a vibration can cause very annoying sounds. Dealing with vibration requires that parts which vibrate be isolated from the case in some way. This includes the optical drives, hard drive, and all fans. One way is to rip out the internals of a case with good vibration isolating qualities and mount those components into the wooden case. A custom approach is to use rubber spacers in areas where components are being screwed into wood. Foam can be packed around fans. Rubber strips, like those used around windows to plug drafts, are also extremely handy. They can be placed around components. If you're very precise, you can glue them to a fan and then slip the fan into a precisely cut fan mount, mounting the fans without any screws at all. Be careful with the glue, however, as many types of glue react badly with rubber.
- slide 4 of 7
As good as today's PC cases are, they're a bit common. If you're looking for an unusual PC case, you'll probably need to make it yourself. Among the most unusual PC cases are wooden cases. Wood is obviously and unusual material for building a PC case, but it does have its benefits, and it particularly good for people who are just looking to make a small PC as a project.
- slide 5 of 7
Assembling the Case
There are two basic ways to assemble the case. One is to use metal joints to attach pieces of wood together. The other is to simply drill screws directly through pieces of wood that join together.
Using metal joints is probably best for beginners. It is easier to drill using small screws and metal joints because if something is messed up, the joint can be removed easily and the holes can be plugged with wood putty (if they need to be plugged at all). Metal joints are cheap, and the smaller screws needed are also cheap. The disadvantage to this method is that it often results in a case that feels a little less solid than expected.
Putting a case together by screwing together the panels directly is also possible. Usually one piece of wood will be used as a base, and four sides will be screwed directly to it by drilling through the base piece, into the side panels, and then attaching everything with long screws. This method results in a solid feel, but it is also a lot easier to mess up. It requires very precise measurements. It is also easy to split the wood when drilling in the longer screws.
- slide 6 of 7
The Details
Obviously, the layout of a custom wood case will vary. But there are some specifics to watch out for when building it.
First, make sure that the motherboard is attached with spacers! This is both for reasons of heat and to ensure that there is no possibility of the motherboard being shorted out. Screwing the motherboard directly into the wood just isn't a good idea. Using rubber spacers is a good solution, but it may also be possible to use spare spacers that are laying around from previous PC builds.
If you're using components from a previous case, it is often possible to attach those pieces directly to the case without spacers, but do use your judgement. If the hard drive enclosure you've salvaged is merely a lump of metal with slots for hard drives, use a rubber spacer or something else to decrease vibration. If you're building your own custom hard drive case out of strips of wood, I recommend doing an out-of-case experiment first. Assemble the PC on your workbench, place the drives into their custom home, and turn it on to see if there are any issues with vibration.
Power supplies can be tricky. They normally attach to the rear of the case using four small screws. The wood you're using, however, will likely be too thick to use those screws. There are two ways around this. One is to spend time in a hardware store with a PSU in hand trying out screws until one is found that fits. The second option is to secure the PSU by building a wooden cage to put around it and then mounting the cage to the case. In any situation, be sure that the method being used to mount the PSU is secure if the PSU is at the top of the case. Dropping the PSU onto the motherboard is bad for your PC's health.
- slide 7 of 7
Good Luck!
These are the basic factors that one must consider when building their own wooden case. I don't expect anyone reading this guide to do much more than assemble a case that is simply a wooden box, and I encourage readers not to over-extend themselves by trying to design a fancy case with a custom exterior, glass window, or other such features. This will likely be an exercise in frustration.
Instead, keep it basic and take it slow. It is almost certain some problems will arise while building the case, but by keeping things basic these issues should be easy to overcome and should not require the entire layout of the case to be changed.

McCall Fashions for January 1918
February 11, 2016 § 4 Comments
Now that the temperature has dropped, I wanted to share a near-antique McCall News from winter 1917-18.
The cover illustration shows two women skating on a frozen lake. The fur-trimmed dress on the left is McCall 8125, with 'aviation cap' McCall 8130; the dress on the right is McCall 8121.
Inside the leaflet are some interesting patterns for war work. You may recognize overall suit McCall 7860 from my Great War post. Here we see the sleeveless view worn over a blouse:
'The Conservation Uniform,' McCall 7970, is a dress apron designated "Official Food Conservation Uniform; for the use of women signing the Conservation Pledge of the Food Commission." (Often called a Hoover apron—for more, see witness2fashion's post.) The cap and cuffs were included in the pattern:
The 'aviation cap' from the cover is shown with McCall 7897, a ladies' military dress with optional cape:
Patterns for the Great War
November 11, 2014 § 8 Comments
This year marks the centennial of the beginning of World War 1. In honour of Armistice Day, this post looks at commercial sewing patterns associated with the First World War.
This illustration from the July 1917 issue of McCall's magazine shows McCall patterns suitable for war work: a nurse's uniform, apron, and cap, and outdoor workwear including women's overalls (patent pending):
Official Red Cross patterns exemplify the volunteer production of clothing and medical supplies that formed part of the war effort. American Red Cross patterns were published by multiple American pattern companies, while in the U.K., British Red Cross sewing and knitting instructions were available in several books by Emily Peek.* In Canada, volunteers sewing for the Canadian Red Cross may have used both British and American resources.
The McCall Fashions for February 1918 gives a list of American Red Cross patterns for garments to be used in hospitals and refugee camps; the cover illustration shows three women dressed "For the visit to the camp":
The inside front cover lists two types of official American Red Cross pattern: "for the relief of refugees and repatriates in the war-stricken countries, particularly in France and Belgium" and for hospital garments. The illustrations show an infant's layette, unisex children's cape, reversible bed jacket, and trench foot slipper (click to enlarge):
A news article from June, 1918 discusses the most needed hospital garments and supplies corrections for two refugee garment patterns. It seems the "helpless case shirt" (for patients with arm injuries) was available in two versions:
(Full archived version here.)
Andrea of Unsung Sewing Patterns has a copy of the "helpless case shirt," Red Cross 35—more sensitively called a taped hospital bed shirt:
(See Unsung Sewing Patterns for more Red Cross refugee patterns.)
A 1917 article in McCall's magazine describes the Red Cross relief effort and seven new patterns for hospital work. It presents sewing as an alternative to nursing, for which fewer women were qualified, arguing that "[s]ewing may not seem to many as romantic as nursing the wounded upon the battlefield, but without it the nursing might be useless." Interestingly, official American Red Cross patterns were at first distributed through the organization's national headquarters, but later became available directly to the public (click to enlarge):
On the right, readers found descriptions of the new patterns, accompanied by photographs showing Red Cross officials Jane A. Delano and Clara D. Noyes, and women in a Red Cross chapter at work:
The illustrations of the new patterns seek to include the Red Cross sewing effort in the romance of nursing. Here a nurse serves a meal to a patient who is wearing McCall Special C, a hospital bed shirt:
McCall Special P is a pair of pajamas:
To be made from one or two blankets, McCall Special O is a bathrobe or convalescent gown:
McCall Special R is a Red Cross Surgeon's and Nurse's operating gown—a unisex medical uniform available in two sizes:
The illustration of the Red Cross nurse also shows the McCall Special S operating helmet:
The Commercial Pattern Archive has both sizes of McCall Special R its collection. The larger is reproduced in Joy Emery's new book:
Do you have any World War I patterns in your collection?

Every day, 337 bloggers* across the world realize they're not really bloggers, rather, they realize they're not only bloggers. It's not some sudden, startling realization. It creeps up on you, but it means a world of change for how you approach your blog and your business.
*That's an actual statistic y'all. And by actual, I mean that I actually just made it up.
A blogger is someone who blogs. (Genius, I know.) Just like a runner is someone who runs. Being a blogger doesn't stop you from also being a small business owner, or a creative consultant, or a cat magician (that's literally all that popped into my head). But, if you think you're a blogger, you might not realize you're also a creative coach or that you're actually engaging in consulting.
Have no fear, friends. There are some pretty obvious signs I've seen and experienced over and over that will help you determine if you are in fact creative coaching along with all that blogging.
10 Signs You're
Crazy Like Me a Creative Coach Disguised as a Blogger
1. Your readers ask you questions, constantly. And some questions are beyond the scope of your blog posts.
This means they consider you an expert, an excellent resource, and someone they can go to for any questions in your industry/area. This also means your building up trust with your readers. That is crazy valuable.
Other similar signs: Your friends have deemed you the go-to expert on whatever you blog about and constantly ask questions or send people your way. Or, you've always been the advice giver and counselor of your friend groups.
2. You find yourself researching your craft or topic more and more and more and.
If in a 24-hour time period, you've ever lost 3 hours to Pinterest, 4 hours to Interweb research, and 2 hours shopping for related books on Amazon, you are obsessed.
3. You get a lot of joy out of helping people out with things you're interested in.
Like, a lot a lot of joy. You get excited. You get research-y. You do it for free. You do it and smile.
4. You find it simple and fun to explain how to do things you love.
For some reason, when you sit down and map it all out, it just comes naturally. Your words flow + people learn. Hint: If people constantly compliment you on how useful your blog posts or other pieces of content are, that means you do a good job + make a good coach.
5. Your digital + desk life have become a bit of a mess, because:
- There's no more memory on your phone due to all the pictures and notes you added related to your passion.
- You haven't turned off your computer in three weeks because you have so many active tabs + programs open.
- You're embarrassed when anyone sitting next to you at the coffee shop sees how many files are on your desktop.
- You have so many ideas and projects written down in so many different notebooks, you don't know where to begin.
6. Your brain quite literally won't stop.
You can't turn off the creativity, thirst for knowledge, or flow of ideas. So much so that you:
- forgot to feed your kid and/or watch your favorite TV show
- haven't fallen asleep quickly in a month or more because your brain stays up scheming
7. If you wrote a book right now, it would be about your blog topic. Also, if you mapped it out, you'd realize you have enough knowledge to write a book or create a course on it.
This makes you an expert on your topic, by the way –> someone with enough knowledge to write a book, or teach, or simplify and organize information in such a way that others benefit.
And if you want a little help getting started in expanding your knowledge to information products, check out:
- My free workshop on creating information products (2.5 hours of training and a 15-page workbook)
- My post on ways to monetize your coaching business
- My 2-day workshop on creating courses (at a special sale price right now)
8. You want to say yes to every niche project or client/advice-seeker who comes your way.
Don't do it. But it's fun to have that many options you're excited about. You have to be wise about saying "yes," because mini-burnouts will come and decrease your creativity and desire for your blog and coaching business.
9. Someone has offered to, or is willing to, pay you for your expertise.
One of the most obvious signs of all.
10. You haven't stopped nodding your head "yes" or feeling excited about what you do since you started reading this post.
. . . and now that you've discovered you're a creative coach, what should you do?
Make a plan. If you feel that you'd enjoy coaching people in your area of expertise, make a plan. You'll want to start releasing more targeted and useful content; you'll want to make sure your focus is adding value to your readers.
I wrote a post on How to Start a Creative Coaching Business You Love (oh, and it's pretty in depth, so grab a soy chai latte) to help you begin to plan your new business. There's a lot of work to be done, but it will be rewarding if you truly love to teach, help + coach.
What do you think? Might you be a creative coach or consultant? Do you think you'd enjoy writing books, creating tutorials, teaching classes, or personally coaching people? Any obvious signs you'd add to my list? Let me know!
P.S. Here are 16 ways to monetize a coaching business, btw.

Soft Solder
There are many different types of solder being used by industry. Solders are available in various forms that include bars, wires, ingots, and powders. Wire solders are available with or without a flux core. Because of the many types of solder available, this chapter only covers the solders most commonly used by Steelworkers.
TIN-LEAD SOLDER.- The largest portion of all solders in use is solders of the tin-lead alloy group. They have good corrosion resistance and can be used for joining most metals. Their compatibility with soldering processes, cleaning, and most types of flux is excellent. In describing solders, it is the custom of industry to state the tin content first; for example, a 40/60 solder means to have 40% tin and 60% lead.
Tin-lead alloy melting characteristics depend upon the ratio of tin to lead. The higher the tin content, the lower the melting temperature. Tin also increases the wetting ability and lowers the cracking potential of the solder.
The behavior of tin-lead solder is shown by the diagram in figure 6-8. This diagram shows that 100% lead melts at 621°F and 100% tin melts at 450°F. Solders that contain 19.5% to 97.5% tin remain a solid until they exceed 360°F. The eutectic composition for tin-lead solder is about 63% tin and 37% lead. ("Eutectic" means the point in an alloy system that all the parts melt at the same temperature.) A 63/37 solder becomes completely liquid at 361°F. Other compositions do not. Instead, they remain in the pasty stage until the temperature increases to the melting point of the other alloy. For instance, 50/50 solder has a solid temperature of 361°F and a liquid temperature range of 417°F. The pasty temperature range is 56°F-the difference between the solid and the liquid.
Solders with lower tin content are less expensive and primarily used for sheet metal products and other high-volume solder requirements. High tin solders are extensively used in electrical work. Solders with 60% tin or more are called fine solders and are used in instrument soldering where temperatures are critical.
TIN-ANTIMONY-LEAD SOLDER.- Antimony is added to a tin-lead solder as a substitute for some of the tin. The antimony, up to 6%, increases the strength and mechanical properties of the solder. A word of caution, solders having a high antimony content should not be used on aluminum, zinc, or zinc-coated materials. They form an intermetallic compound of zinc and antimony that causes the solder to become very brittle.
Figure 6-8.-Tin-lead alloy constitutional diagram.
TIN-ZINC SOLDER.- Several tin-zinc solders have come into use for the joining of aluminum alloys. The 91/9 and 60/40 tin-zinc solders are for higher temperature ranges (above 300°F), and the 80/20 and 70/30 tin-zinc alloys are normally used as precoating solders.
LEAD-SILVER SOLDER.- Lead-silver solders are useful where strength at moderately high temperatures is required. The reason lead by itself cannot be used is that it does not normally wet steel, cast iron, or copper and its alloys. Adding silver to lead results in alloys that more readily wet steel and copper. Flow characteristics for straight lead-silver solders are rather poor, and these solders are susceptible to humidity and corrosion during storage. The wetting and flow characteristics can be enhanced as well as an increased resistance to corrosion by introducing a tin content of 1%.
Lead-silver solders require higher soldering temperatures and special fluxing techniques. The use of a zinc-chloride base flux or uncoated metals is recommended, because rosin fluxes decompose rapidly at high temperatures.
TIN-ANTIMONY SOLDER.- Tin-antimony solders are used for refrigeration work or for joining copper to cast-iron joints. The most common one is the 95/5 solder.
TIN-SILVER SOLDER.- Tin-silver solder (96/4) is used for food or beverage containers that must be cadmium and lead-free. It also can be used as a replacement for tin-antimony solder (95/5) for refrigeration work
Table 6-1.-Fluxes Used for Soldering Some Common Metals
These solders and the procedures for their use are also listed in the Welding Materials Handbook, NAVFAC, P-433.
Scale, rust, and oxides form on most metal surfaces when exposed to air, and heating accelerates this formation. Solder will not adhere to or wet the metal unless these pollutants are removed. Fluxes are chemical compounds used to clean and maintain the metal surfaces during the soldering process. They also decrease the surface tension of the solder, making it abetter wetting agent. Fluxes are manufactured in cake, paste, liquid, or powder form and are classified as either noncorrosive or corrosive. Table 6-1 shows the fluxes that are normally used for soldering common metals.
NONCORROSIVE FLUXES.- Noncorrosive fluxes are for soldering electrical connections and for other work that must be free of any trace of corrosive residue. Rosin is the most commonly used noncorrosive flux. In the solid state, rosin is inactive and noncorrosive. When heated, it melts and provides some fluxing action. Rosin is available in powder, paste, or liquid form.
Rosin fluxes frequently leave a brown residue. This residue is nonconductive and sometimes difficult to remove. The removal problem can be reduced by adding a small amount of turpentine to the rosin. Glycerine is added to the rosin to make the flux more effective.
CORROSIVE FLUXES.- Corrosive fluxes have the most effective cleaning action, but any trace of corrosive flux that remains on the work can cause corrosion later. For this reason, corrosive fluxes are not used on electrical connections or other work where corrosion would cause a serious problem.
The most commonly used corrosive fluxes are sal ammoniac (ammonium chloride) and zinc chloride. These fluxes are frequently used in either solution or in paste form. The solvent, if present, evaporates as the work heats, leaving a layer of solid flux on the work. When the metal reaches the soldering temperature, this layer of flux melts, partially decomposes, and liberates hydrochloric acid. The hydrochloric acid dissolves the oxides from the work surfaces and the solder, making them ready for soldering.
Zinc chloride (sometimes called CUT ACID or KILLED ACID) can be made in the shop as long as safety precautions are followed. To prepare zinc chloride, pour a small amount of muriatic acid (the commercial form of hydrochloric acid) into a glass or acid-resistant container and then add small pieces of zinc. As you add the zinc, the acid boils and bubbles as a result of a chemical reaction that produces zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. Keep adding small pieces of zinc to the mixture until the liquid no longer boils and bubbles. At this point, the reaction is complete and you then dilute the liquid in the container with an equal amount of water. Make only enough as required and strain it before use. If any is leftover, store it in a tightly sealed glass container.
When diluting the acid, you always add the acid to the water. Adding water to acid can result in an explosive reaction, resulting in serious injuries.
Specific precautions must be taken when preparing zinc chloride. Rubber gloves, a full-face visor, and an apron are required. The fumes given off by muriatic acid or by the mixture of muriatic acid and zinc are a health hazard as well as an explosive. Prepare zinc chloride under a ventilation hood, out in the open, or near openings to the outside to reduce inhalation of the fumes or the danger of explosion. It is essential that precautions be taken to prevent flames or sparks from coming in contact with the liberated hydrogen.
Another type of corrosive flux in use is known as SOLDERING SALTS. Commercially prepared soldering salts are normally manufactured in a powder form that is water soluble that allows you to mix only the amount needed.
After a corrosive flux has been used for soldering, you should remove as much of the flux residue as possible from the work. Most corrosive fluxes are water soluble; therefore, washing the work with soap and water and then rinsing thoroughly with clear water usually removes the corrosive residue. To lessen damage, you should ensure the work is cleaned immediately after the soldering.

High efficient dye-sensitized solar cell based on morphology controlled carbon nanotube electrode
S. Das, S. Hwang, V. Verma, T. Kim, J. Huang, M. Jeon, D. Lee, W. Choi
Florida International University, US
Keywords: counter electrode, CNT, charge transport, efficiency, solar cell
Abstract:Here, we report that the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with different morphologies based counter electrodes are better for dye-sensitize solar cell (DSSC) compare to the conventional platinum and graphite electrode. Multi wall and single wall CNTs with different diameter along with different alignments are demonstrated in this work which shows an improved redox properties at the counter electrode associated with better charge transport at the interfaces of a DSSC. Carbon nanotubes are very distinct material for electrode applications as it has very high surface to volume ratio, ballistic transport and large surface conductivity. We show electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in forward bias with the variation of different bias voltage under dark field which is an indirect method of measuring the kinetics of charge transport and charge recombination process at the CE-EI interfaces

Oakland neighbors fed up with police services, politicians
An intruder busted into an Oakland home this week and left an 81-year-old woman with a gunshot wound and her neighbors absolutely fed up with inadequate police services and a decade of pitiful excuses from city officials.
If that weren't bad enough, some neighbors just lost it when an Oakland Police Department spokeswoman stood before TV cameras and described their Upper Dimond district neighborhood as quiet, peaceful and safe.
There was a time when that was true, but it was about a decade ago, residents said.
"It's happening all the time," said Alice McHugh, a 17-year resident in the Dimond, an enclave of single-family homes in the foothills beneath the Mormon Temple on Lincoln Avenue.
"People are being robbed at gunpoint in this neighborhood," McHugh said.
Car break-ins are commonplace, and McHugh's home has been targeted four times, including in June 2012, when a safe in her garage containing treasured possessions, personal identification papers, family heirlooms and cash was hauled off. Tuesday afternoon's shooting only "upped the ante," she said.
In October, a suspect was arrested in the burglary of McHugh's home. Then, while awaiting trial on the burglary charge, he was arrested again, this time on suspicion of robbery, she said.
On three other occasions, McHugh said, thieves have attempted to get inside her home, including one incident when she was at home.
In that encounter, a young man no older than 14 knocked on her door and asked for someone who didn't live there. When she questioned the youth, he ran to a waiting car and it sped away. She took the plate number. It came back to a junked car registered in Stockton.
Since then, McHugh has ramped up the security efforts in her home with double locks on every door and an alarm system. Repositories for valuable items are now bolted down. Sometimes, she said, she refers to her house as a fortress.
Residents describe the neighborhood around Laguna Avenue, where the shooting occurred, as a multigenerational neighborhood, a place where people move, raise families and live out their lives.
It is anything but transient. It's not a house-flipping neighborhood. People tend to stay a long time.
Demand services
Tuesday's tragedy definitely shook up and frightened some people. But for others, it just strengthened their resolve to demand police services they have paid for.
"We're hurt," said Karen, a neighbor who would not give her last name. "We're not best friends, but she is my neighbor. This is my home - and this is my neighborhood. We are proud Oaklanders, and this is not what we expect from our city at all."
Like so many Oakland residents, including me, Karen is sick and tired of city lawmakers who can't pass a law enforcement proposal without including another new social program.
"We need nuts-and-bolts policing, not another pie-in-the-sky pork-barrel policy," she said. "I shouldn't have to pay for people's kids not to commit crimes."
What is even more stunning is that after a year in which consultants were hired - at great expense - to help improve the Police Department, the city still has no comprehensive plan to address crime citywide.
Ballot smackdown
The best way to hold those responsible for their actions, inactions and policies is at the ballot box next November. With the mayor's office and half the seats on the Oakland City Council up for re-election, smacking down an incumbent politician - or a couple of them - would send a strong, clear message - and it would be justified.
It may take an entire village to raise a child, but Oakland politicians have proved that just a handful of people can create an atmosphere of mistrust and uncertainty in a modern U.S. city. The alarming lack of government progress on the city's crime front has been a team effort.
David Abell, 40, a paralegal with two young children, lives on Laguna Avenue not far from the victim's house. In an e-mail to his council representative, Libby Schaaf, Abell laid out his frustrations.
"It is a sad state when some poor old lady can't live out her golden years without being shot in her home by some thug," Abell wrote.

Passenger Taken Off Flight
SEATTLE (AP) — The FBI has finished interviewing a passenger taken off an Alaska Airlines flight from Kona, Hawaii, by law enforcement officers after a caller said the man was a possible hijacker. FBI Seattle spokeswoman Ayn Dietrich said last night that the agency was "not anticipating an arrest." The man was not identified. Two military jets from the Oregon Air National Guard escorted Alaska Flight 819 to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport after the threat call was received at the Honolulu FBI office.

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Syrian activists say they are smuggling out body tissue samples from victims of an alleged chemical weapons attack outside Damascus and are trying to get them to a team of United Nations inspectors staying in a hotel a few miles away.
"The U.N. team spoke with us and since then we prepared samples of hair, skin and blood and smuggled them back into Damascus with trusted couriers," said activist Abu Nidal, speaking from the town of Arbin.
The opposition accuses President Bashar al-Assad's forces of firing rockets before dawn on Wednesday loaded which poison gas in the midst of a fierce offensive on the rebel-held suburbs that ring the capital.
The army has been pummeling the area, known as the Ghouta region, since Tuesday night with air raids and artillery strikes that could hinder access to the sites and potentially damage evidence. Chemical weapons experts say every hour counts - the longer it takes, the more likely evidence can be covered up or tampered with.
Only a few activists said they were confident that they had a contact who would be able to hand their samples to the U.N. inspectors.
Several activists in the area who spoke to Reuters said they had prepared samples to smuggle into the capital but were unable to find a way to access the monitors inside their hotel.
"We're being shelled and on top of that Ghouta is surrounded by regime checkpoints. But even that isn't a problem, we can smuggle them out," said activist Abo Mohammed, from the suburb of Harasta.
"The problem is the location of the U.N. committee in the hotel. They're under heavy guard and government minders."
Activists say that in addition to tissue samples they have taken photographs of bomb sites, soil samples, and written witness accounts.
Syria's uprising against four decades of Assad family rule has turned into a civil war that has killed more than 100,000 people.
Foreign powers have said chemical weapons could change the calculus in terms of intervention and have negotiated with Damascus to allow a U.N. team of experts to examine the site of three small-scale attacks where poison gas was allegedly used.
The United Nations is now seeking to expand the group's mandate to allow them to investigate the most recent attack, whose death toll ranges from 500 to more than 1,000 people.
Syria has given no response to the demands. On Wednesday it denied using chemical weapons, calling the claims "illogical and fabricated."

Dermatology, Vascular Anomalies Research
On staff since November 2014
Academic Title: Assistant Professor
Dr. Gupta was very knowledgeable and kind. She clearly "knows her stuff" re: pediatric dermatology. I feel confident continuing my son's care with her!
She was very friendly, my 18 month old always cries when he sees a unfamiliar face close to him but that was not the case.
When I take him to hospital normally I return unsatisfied but that was not the case here, Surely I`ll continue consulting Dr Gupta for my son`s skin care.
Dr. Gupta was very approachable, knowlegeable and kind. She could explain the diagnosis and treatment in a way that was understood by my son, me and the doctor in training while never excluding one party. I highly recommend Dr. Gupta and would return to visit with my son without hesistation.
