Where can I find a bust shot of ISABELLA MARTHA "BELL, BELLE, BELLA" ANGEL BAWDEN.
She was born in Peoria, Peoria, IL, parentage unk. but supposedly her father died in Civil War in Battle of Shiloh TN.
She went to Springfield, OH, with son Dr. George Stephen Bawden and wife Annie Seibel, died and was buried there.
I saw this pic on a website and didn't think to copy it to my desktop.
Thank you very much for any help.

BAWDEN: Stephen Phelps is subject of entry in 1882 History of Davenport and Scott County, Iowa
The law has become so complex that it would be difficult for any individual to be equally at home in all departments of practice and, while a lawyer may continue in several fields, it is the tendency of the times to concentrate one's energies upon a special branch. This Stephen P. Bawden does in his attention to probate and title deed branches of law and yet he has won success in other fields and may be termed a general practitioner.
Mr. Bawden is one of Davenport's native sons and his parents were Stephen and Mary Ella (WOODWARD) BAWDEN, the former being of English parentage and the latter a native of Pennsylvania. Their removal to the west and settlement at Davenport made this city the scene of the youthful efforts and activities of S. P. BAWDEN as well as of his later years.
Having acquired his literary education in the public schools, he continued his studies in preparation for the bar and after his admission to practice in the courts of the state opened an office in Davenport, where he has since remained. His natural predilection tends him toward probate and similar departments of the law and for five years he devoted almost his entire time to those branches in the office of DAVISON & LANE. Inclination and opportunity were thus satisfied and his thoroughness and capability in this branch of the profession have won him deserved success. His two most dominant characteristics are determined persistence and thorough and honest exactness. In law and especially in real-estate law these traits are of prime importance and guarantee progress.
Mr. BAWDEN has met with good success because of these qualities and is one of the best known of the younger members of the bar in this field of practice. He enjoys the good fellowship of his brethren of the legal fraternity here and all recognize that his advancement has come as the merited and legitimate reward of his efforts and ability.

BAWDEN: John DUVALL "Tim" does Boy Scouts lifelong, works for family printing business, marries Joyce Edith GARBER and has 3 children
"Tim" was the youngest of 2 born to George Ray "Ray" and Viola Katherine "Vi" DUVALL BAWDEN on 23 Sept 1929 in Davenport, Scott, Iowa. His brother was George Ray "Binc" BAWDEN, Jr. (see blog)
At a young age Tim displayed a talent for the printing and publishing business when he founded a neighborhood newspaper called "Heights", which he wrote, printed and distributed himself for over 4 years from 1942-1946.
He graduated from Davenport [Central] High School in 1947, from St. Ambrose College in Davenport with a B.A. degree in 1950, and earned his Masters degree in Journalism from Northwestern University in Evanston, Cook, Illinois in 1952.
He was drafted into the Army where he served two years as Sergeant at Ft. Bliss, El Paso, Texas. At his father's death in April 1954, he returned to Davenport to enter the family printing business, BAWDEN Bros. Inc., with his uncle Harry ELDRIDGE BAWDEN and brother "Binc". He became president of Bawden Printing, Inc. and vice-resident of Advertising Communications, Inc. - a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bawden Bros., in Davenport and Iowa City, Iowa.
Tim's life-long interest in the Boy Scouts of America began in grade school when he joined Troop 4 at McKinley Elementary School on Davenport's Middle Road, under the leadership of Dr. Carl H. Matthey. He became troop leader during his St. Ambrose College years, began a scout troop while in the Army in El Paso. When he returned to Davenport in 1954, he became leader of Troop 4 at McKinley. Through the years, he has been leader of Explorer Post 4 at McKinley, Post 7 at the First Presbyterian Church in Davenport, and Troop 24 and Explorer Post 24 at Riverdale School in Bettendorf, Scott, Iowa. Over 100 boys have earned their Eagle Scout Award due to his efforts.
He served for 25 years on the local Boy Scout Council, and as a member of the National Boy Scout Committee as chairman of the National Boy Scout Advancement Committee. He received two of the highest awards: Silver Beaver for outstanding local service and Silver Antelope for exceptional effort on the regional level.
Tim married Joyce Garber on 19 Aug 1961 in Randolph, Fremont, Iowa's Presbyterian Church. She is the daughter of Chester Christopher and Mabel Ione CHAMBERS GARBER. Joyce was born 7 May 1935 on the family farm near the former village of Anderson, Fremont, Iowa. The CHAMBERS family came to Walnut Creek Twp, Fremont, Iowa from Pennsylvania in 1856.
Joyce graduated from Randolph {Iowa] High School and from the University of Iowa, Iowa City, Johnson, Iowa in May 1957 with a BA in Music Education. She taught school in Los Alamos, New Mexico, Fremont-Mills High School in Tabor, Iowa and J.B. Young Intermediate School in Davenport before her marriage.
She had been a leader in many educational and cultural organizations in the Davenport area, serving as president of the Junior Symphony, president of Chapter LM, PEO and president of the Pleasant Valley, Scott, Iowa school board. She sang in Davenport's First Presbyterian Church choir for 20 years and served on the advisory board for Women's Athletics at the University of Iowa.
The Bawdens have been active members of 1st Presbyterian Church where Tim served as elder and deacon. He was chosen Outstanding Young Man of the Year by the Junior Chamber of Commerce, president of the Outing Club, a Davenport dining, bowling and social club, and a member of Davenport Kiwanis Club.
They had 3 children all in Davenport:
1. Michael Thomas b 22 Aug 1962, graduated from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, married Caroline Susan Kammann 28 Jul 1984 in Crown Point, Indiana
2. Peter CHAMBERS born 14 Oct 1964; chosen high school all-state football lineman, earned Eagle Scout, graduated form Arizona State at Tempe in political science.
3. Cynthis/Cindy ELDRIDGE born 18 Oct 1967. Graduated from Colorado State University at Fort Collins.
Tim also commissioned a family gene study for Alice Richardson Sloane, C.G., author and compiler, Davenport. It was vinyl-bound, printed in 1986 in Decorah, Iowa, 290 pps with photos, no ISBN and no copyright in the possession of this author. There was no interaction between Ms. Sloane, the printer, or Tim and I am making it a several-years-long project to give it some integrity.
Tim died 15 May 1992 in Davenport. Ashes were given to the family.

President Reagan was so impressed with reports of a New York man who jumped onto subway tracks to save a blind man's life that he personally called to congratulate the hero, the White House said.
Reginald Andrews had jumped between the cars of a stopped train in New York Monday to rescue a blind man who had fallen onto the tracks. The President's phone call wasn't all Mr. Andrews received. The unemployed father of eight also got a job. Mr. Andrews was returning from an interview at a meat packing plant when he rescued the blind man. Later, an executive of the plant called and offered him a job.

Long Journey
"You could call graying folkster Michael Hurley one of the most respected singer-songwriters to ever be underappreciated in this great country of ours. But it might be more precise to cast him as contemporary acoustica's most poignant absurdist. Casting his subjects in both droll and sorrowful settings, he regularly makes the improbable seem like a sure bet. He's a naturalist, too. Smitten with hollow logs, snoozy dogs, and the mists rising from a pond as evening drifts down, Hurley's able to find some kind of profundity in every corner the great outdoors. Long Journey, originally released in 1976, is one of his best records, and a great place to enter the singer's ever-quixotic world." –Jim Macnie

AMD HD 6970 and HD 6950 Review
Aliens vs. Predator, developed by Rebellion Developments, is a science fiction first-person shooter and is a remake of its 1999 game. The game is based off the two popular sci-fi franchises. In this game, you have the option of playing through the single player campaigns as one of three species, the Alien, the Predator, and the Human Colonial Marine. The Game uses Rebellion's Asura game engine that supports Dynamic Lighting, Shader Model 3.0, Soft Particle systems, and physics. To test this game I will be using the Aliens vs. Predator benchmark tool with the settings listed below. All DirectX 11 features are enabled.
- 4xAA
- 16xAF
- SSAO = On
- Texture Quality = Very High
- Hardware Tesselation = On
- Advanced Shadow Sampling = On
Higher = Better
The HD 6970 from Sapphire and XFX deliver great performance when you get down to it. The performance in this game is just short of the GTX 580 and above that of the GTX 570 showing nice gains in tessellation performance in this DX 11 game.

The 'Renewal' of Transnistria
VLADIMIR KOROBOV and GEORGII BYANOV
Transnistria (the 'Dnestr Moldovan Republic' or PMR) and everything that takes place there is of great importance to Russia, Ukraine and the Commonwealth of Independent States in general, and much exceeds the territorial, demographic and economic potential of the region itself. Transnistria is in effect an indicator of whether the collapse of the USSR has already ended, or whether a geopolitical repartition of its former territory is still possible. How soon will such a new partition of the world order and the map of Europe begin? Is Russia capable of an independent foreign policy, notwithstanding the countries that 'won' the Cold War? And are Ukraine's claims to regional leadership well founded? It is unlikely that the people of Transnistria feel any better in the light of their historical role, but they cannot escape it.

For an account of the opening arguments of the Libby trial, click here.
On the second day of the Scooter Libby trial, Ted Wells, the defendant's attorney, continued with his double strategy of challenging the memories of the prosecution's witnesses and of creating a series of narratives that could end up confusing jurors.
The first witness called to stand by special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald was Marc Grossman, who was the No. 3 at the State Department in the summer of 2003. His testimony was clear-cut. On May 29, 2003, he was contacted by Libby, who was seeking information on former Ambassador Joseph Wilson's trip to Niger. Three weeks earlier, New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof had written a piece–without mentioning Wilson by name–citing Wilson's mission as evidence that the Bush administration had hyped the prewar intelligence on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. Few in the media had paid any attention to Kristof's column, but Washington Post reporter Walter Pincus was looking into Vice President Dick Cheney's connection to the Wilson affair. (Wilson had been sent by the CIA on this trip in 2002 after Cheney had asked an intelligence briefer for more information on the allegation that Iraq had sought uranium in Niger.)
It was while Pincus was sniffing around that Libby, according to Grossman, called him and asked for information on Wilson's mission. Grossman testified that he had known nothing about the trip, then learned the basic details from others at the State Department, and shared this information with Libby. He also testified that he had asked the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research to prepare a memo on the trip. The memo noted that Wilson's wife worked at the CIA division that had dispatched Wilson. Grossman testified that he shared this fact with Libby during a face-to-face meeting on June 11 or June 12, 2003.
This is important because after the CIA leak criminal investigation was launched, Libby told the FBI and a grand jury that when he heard from Meet the Press host Tim Russert on July 10 or 11 that Valerie Wilson worked at the CIA, he believed he was learning this fact anew. (Russert denies saying anything to Libby about Valerie Wilson.) Fitzgerald's plan is to demonstrate that Libby aggressively gathered information on Joseph and Valerie Wilson before the leak to prove that his story to the grand jury and the FBI–that he had forgotten he knew anything about Valerie Wilson and had merely passed along to reporters rumors about her he had heard from other reporters–was an intentional lie.

Discussion in 'Transformers News and Rumors' started by knook, Mar 31, 2009.
Listing here:
Transformers the Movie Universe: Amazon.ca: Your Store
It sounds really good to me
The way you wrote it, I thought this was going to be listings for a Universe/Movie hybrid line.
Cool, though.
i love books like this. it will be awesome. and they said megatron was "one of our favorite heroes"
that sounds sweet
I hope that they actually take time to make this an outstanding book, like, Transformers: The Ultimate Guide! And I hope they put new pictures from ROTF and not the same pictures that have been leaked. All-in-all I will most likely be picking this up!
Sounds cool, have to check it out.
Ohh... DO WANT! I'm gonna add this to my list of things I want.
...I need more shelf space if I'm getting this (too many TPBs and manga on my shelfs)...
Yah the ultimate guide was great except there's not a version that goes past the classics area history wise. They relay need to update that thing. Lets cross our fingers that this new book has info we don't already know.
I hope this will have extra statistics off all the bots and cons. Like height and weapons. I have wanted to have one of these books since TF came out.
I thought that book was bloody awful, and absolutely paled in comparison to DK's similar books for Marvel and DC characters. What the hell was Furman doing inserting his own opinion into the book that the Dinobots' cartoon continuity origin was dubious?
If they ever get around to doing "The Ultimate Guide" again, I'd want it to be totally rewritten from the ground up, with large separated sections for the various continuities that exist in the various generations. It's not great that one of the only TF reference books and the More Than Meets The Eye profile books are mostly based upon the Dreamwave continuity.
looks like i may have to get this along with the art book from the two movies... grr more money being spent!
Agreed, I didnt like the way Furman dismissed other continuities in preference of his own opinion. Otherwise I really liked the book.
Separate names with a comma.

Yesterday, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) published a proposed rule to amend the existing rules of practice for inter partes review, post-grant review, the transitional program for covered business method patents and derivation proceedings that implemented provisions of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (AIA). The proposed rule seeks public comment on the proposed changes, and the USPTO will issue a final rule implementing these changes—or some version of them—at a later date yet to be determined. The proposed rule also states that the USPTO intends to later amend its Office Patent Trial Practice Guide concerning how the Office handles additional discovery, live testimony and confidential information. Earlier this year, on May 19, 2015, the USPTO published a final rule addressing certain ministerial changes, including an allowance for 10 additional pages for a patent owner's motion to amend and providing 10 additional pages for a petitioner's reply brief.
These additional proposed rules are the result of a request for comments published in June of 2014. See Request for Comments on Trial Proceedings Under the America Invents Act Before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, 79FR 36474 (June 27, 2014). The request for comments asked 17 questions on 10 broad topics: (1) claim construction standard; (2) a patent owner's motions to amend; (3) a patent owner's preliminary response; (4) additional discovery; (5) obviousness; (6) real party in interest; (7) multiple proceedings; (8) extension of one year period to issue a final determination; (9) oral hearing; and (10) general topics. See 79 FR at 36476.
The new proposed rules propose to make only a few changes to the existing rules and are not as sweeping as some had hoped. Here are the major changes:
- Allows the patent owner to submit new testimonial evidence in support of the preliminary response. This change creates some new strategic considerations for the patent owner as it may not always be advantageous to submit an expert declaration with the preliminary response. It may be more strategic to wait and see the institution decision by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (the Board) before the patent owner locks in its witness' testimony. This allows the patent owner to craft their post-institution case based on the Board's concerns. It also preserves some new evidence for the post-institution trial. If the same three judges are looking at the exact same evidence and arguments pre- and post-institution, it is difficult to see what will change their minds in the trial phase regarding the patentability of the claims.
- The USPTO maintains the broadest reasonable interpretation claim construction standard, unless the patent will expire before the final written decision is issued. The USPTO has the authority to make changes to the current claim construction standard by regulation and adopt the district court claim construction standard as some have advocated and as proposed by the current versions of proposed patent reform legislation. This indicates that the Office is not supporting the legislative proposals to change the claim construction standard for post-grant proceedings. The proposed rule also clarifies the claim construction standard for a patent that will expire during the course of a proceeding and, thus, cannot be amended.
- Expressly provides that a petitioner may seek leave to file a reply to the patent owner preliminary response and that material facts that are disputed will be viewed in the light most favorable to the petitioner for purposes of deciding whether to institute the proceeding.
- Reinforces the duty of candor in PTAB proceedings and provides that the signature on any document filed with the office is a representation, among others, that the action is not being conducted "for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of the proceeding." It is unclear what an "improper purpose" encompasses and whether it would prohibit using the post-grant proceedings as a means to affect the stock price of the patent owner for investment purposes. This is a catch-all provision that could be used by the PTAB in a variety of contexts. The proposed rule also provides new procedural rules for sanction motions, including allowing the other party to first correct the challenged document.
- Changes many of the page limits to word counts. For example a petition for inter partes review is limited to 14,000 words.
- Demonstrative exhibits must be served at least seven business days before oral argument and filed no later than the time of the oral argument.
Comments on the proposed rules are due to the USPTO by October 19, 2015.


text: Terrible title... thought it was a reality show when I heard the name, so never really looked into it. Turns out it's a regular sitcom.... but it's very good. Overall, the sitcom lineup has been pretty poor this season. My Name is Earl was hopeful early on, but has recently been very dissapointing... but How I Met Your Mother. Very good. very funny. Highly recommended. arn

Imagine a world without color,
where light could only create black and white
and monochrome was the status quo.
A rainbow would appear in shades of gray
and a flower could only be recognized by shape.
Beauty would no longer be defined as bright
but a simple, unified dullness.
Imagine a world without color,
where a human was just a human.
No person could be defined by
the pigment of their hair
or the vibrancy of their eyes.
Humanity could not be divided
by the color of our skin
and the shades would be too close to separate.
Equality would be a commonality.
Imagine a world without color,
where variety could only be found
in shapes, textures, and sounds.
With less to distract your eyes,
your ears may finally be opened
and you will hear what you should have heard
long ago.
Imagine a world without color,
where the world might just be a little better.
*(Note: I started writing this poem thinking that I'd talk about how terrible a world without color would be, but it morphed into this instead. I quite enjoyed editing it. It was so much more me than it would have been if I had written what I'd meant to write.)

Recently I was in the South, where I came upon a story which seemed extraordinary in itself and which left me with a strange feeling of hope. I was in Wilmington, N. C., a charming town 20 miles from the sea. Shaded streets, bordered by houses going back to an earlier century, climb the gentle slope that rises from the Cape Fear River. The town escaped the worst ravages of the Civil War, though it was a thorn in the side of the union, being the principal point from which blockade runners carried on trade vital to the life of the Confederacy. Finally, in 1864, Fort Fisher, at the mouth of the river, was taken after what local historians claim to have been the heaviest bombardment ever launched. The unprotected town fell and Union troops took over.
Amid the general looting, one act was particularly deplored. The Bible of the First Presbyterian Church was removed from the sunctuary and carried away. The years pass, old bitternesses are healed, and in 1928, as if by a miracle, the lost Bible is returned. It had indeed been stolen, but then innocently purchased in camp by a Col. sidney Cooke. The colonel is subsequent fighting was gravely wounded behind Confederate lines and left on the battlefield as lost. Rescued, and nursed back to health by the enemy, Colonel cooke (in his later years in Kansas City) often told his family of his gratitude for Southern mercy, and displayed the Bible as a treasured remembrance of Civil War days.
The old colonel's son, after his father's passing, brought the Bible back to the Wilmington church, where it was received with rejoicing and where it can now be seen on public view. Two further facts add a special dimension to the story. The original church was burned in 1925, so that had the Bible been returned a few years earlier it would almost certainly have been destroyed forever. Also, crowning the tale, is this testimony: when the newly restored Bible was opened at random for a newspaper photograph, a verse from the Book of Jeremiah revealed itself to people's astonished eyes. "For out of the north," said the Bible text , "there cometh up a nation against thee, which shall make the land desolate. . . . They shall depart, both man and beast."
This little tale, with its coincidence and its happy ending, gives cheer in a world where so many things get lost, seemingly beyond recovery. I have been doing research on the life of Woodrow wilson -- indeed it was a desire to revisit one of the places where he had lived as a youth that brought me to Wilmington -- and one of the mysterious lacunae in the record is the collection of letters Wilson wrote to his father. Father and son were extraordinarily close; the elder Wilson was convinced Woodrow was headed for greatness, and it is inconceivable that he would deliberately destroy his side of the correspondence. But where is the treasure-box that holds the key to this intimate relationship?
Scholars have assumed that it must have been left in some attic in the South, as the old father moved restlessly about in his last years. They have hoped against hope that it would someday turn up. Does not the tale about the Bible in the First Presbyterian Church in Wilmington (where Wilson's father was once a pastor) somehow make one believe that in the end these letters will indeed see the light?
I read the other day that a painting by the French Impressionist Corot had been found. Connoisseurs long thought a certain portrait known as "The Thoughtful Young Woman" was by Corot; it was established that it was, instead, a copy by his favorite pupil.Where, then, was the original? Lost, it seemed, forever. But 70 years later it has turned up, after travels on both sides of the Atlantic and possession by various owners. At the end of May it will be again sold at auction.
So the world goes, full of strange journeys, marked by unexpected turns of fortune. What we guard zealously is lost, and what is lost is found once more. I suppose the moral is that one should never give up hoping -- or, what is more to the point, o ne should never give up searching with quiet faith.

There are a lot of digital marketing experts out there, and that's great – we lesser mortals can always use the insights and expertise they share so we can improve our marketing strategies. However, perhaps it's the English language nerd in me, but I find the trend towards calling them anything other than 'experts' a little jarring. Ninjas or wizards they are not. Ninjas carry out irregular warfare tactics and historically were pretty much looked down on by the samurai, while wizards perform sorcery, and neither of these traits are evident in the modern marketing mix. Another thing they are definitely not are 'gurus'.
A guru, from Sanskrit meaning 'grave or weighty' evolved over time to mean 'a teacher of great stature and status in spiritual matters,' but in what way does that apply to somebody who knows a lot about marketing on the internet, or any commercial activity?
The title of 'guru' carries with it suggestions of an otherworldly wisdom shared with us to give us more enlightenment towards a holy, religious state of consciousness, and while my boss has argued that religion is a form of marketing, digital marketing is not, and never should be, a religion.
Advice on generating leads should not be seen as wisdom that will lead a generation.
Emerging from my ivory tower and leaving my high horse in the stable, it is true to say that experts and thought leaders (which does still rankle as a term with its cultish connotations), can be extremely useful to learn from, and to avail of in our everyday digital marketing strategies. That is why it is important to establish good relations with influencers, and the practice works in the same way when it comes to respected and influential experts.
A nod of recognition or a nice link to your site from them can yield great dividends in the form of SEO, influence and online presence, so they definitely help in your digital marketing efforts.
For example, as this blog summarises, a TapInfluence report found that 92% of consumers rely on referrals from people they know and/or trust, which is exactly what influencers are. If a business or agency wants to find the best solutions to their digital marketing needs, they are likely to find themselves looking at sites mentioned or referenced by influential thought leaders.
They also provide great information on how to produce optimised content that will help you rank in search and nurture leads along the buyer journey – something that is becoming more difficult with every passing day as the sheer volume of online content grows exponentially.
While that volume of content expands, more and more information is being produced telling us how to stand out from the competition, leading to yet more content we have to compete with to show we know our chops, and are better than other businesses or digital marketing agencies. The big names stay on top of this pile, so they must be doing something right, and therefore it is only wise to be aware of what they say and to use their teachings as guidelines for creating our own marketing and content strategies.
The self-fulfilling prophesy
But digital marketing 'gurus' should not be followed blindly, as a real guru would be. They do not have the infallibility of spiritual leaders, for many very good reasons, and sometimes I get the impression that thought leaders, or gurus, have that position simply because they say they do, and in a self-perpetuating scenario, are created thus by the following and sharing of their teachings by others. We see a piece by a 'guru', so we want to share it to show we are in the know and follow the lead of this person, and so they retain their position of authority thanks to all those lovely links and shares and mentions.
It's similar to the way in which the Wizard of Oz held so much power. He did because everybody believed he did. I'm not saying we should 'pay no attention to that man behind the curtain' because as mentioned, thought leaders do have very valuable insights to share, but in the end, what we are capable of stems from what is within ourselves, not from what others promise we can achieve by following their guidelines. More of that later.
It is important to emphasise that I am here talking about thought leaders or 'gurus' who 'teach', rather than 'do'. There are many fine digital marketing agencies out there, including ourselves, who can provide expertise and share experience and advice on a practical level to help you enhance your lead generation and conversion efforts. In fact, that's our whole purpose – we help businesses and agencies grow through improved marketing strategies and campaigns. But rather than just tell you what to do, we show you, or do it for you, which is an important distinction. We are more 'go to' than 'guru'.
In a very forthright and entertaining post, Mark Ritson talks about an article he was invited to view listing 24 experts in digital marketing he should follow. As a professor in marketing, he felt he had to take a look but was bemused when he did some fact-checking and found only four of that 24 had any actual educational background in marketing.
While it's true that expertise can be gained 'on the ground' so to speak, and that formal education is not always needed, Ritson does make the valid point that experts who tell us how things have changed so much and that we have to change our best practices accordingly, should really have some form of experience in what they say the industry has changed from, in order to give a truly rounded view.
Following your own path
Even if the 'thought leader' is fully qualified and experienced, it is still not necessarily wise to hang on every word they say. Another entertaining and thought-provoking blog, this time by Ben Pines for cloudways.com, echoes this sentiment. First outlining that his piece is not an attack on any one individual, he argues that rather than blindly following what an expert says, it is important to make your own marketing decisions based on your own abilities, your industry, your platforms and your own gut feeling.
As he points out, following the words of an expert in digital marketing will not necessarily mean you too will become an expert, or a huge success at it. After all, you are following the very people you want to appear better than. You can act exactly like the king of a country in the privacy of your own home or office, but that doesn't mean you will ever have a valid claim to the throne.
But you don't have to. You just need to take what is relevant to you from their teachings and implement it into your marketing strategy or way of thinking in a way that is relevant to your business or agency needs. You don't necessarily have to know every single thing about every aspect of digital marketing, just the ones that will bring you more leads and conversions.
Rather than trying to copy success stories to the letter, look at your own strategies and see what is working, what is not, and what you can do to improve. Just as history is written by the victors, stories of overwhelming success will appear online far more than stories of failure because people don't really want to tell you they failed. Why would they write about that? But you shouldn't try to emulate those successes by simply doing exactly what they did, because there is no real formula to guaranteed success.
Nor should you try to incorporate every new teaching, trend or technology into your strategy, just because it is mentioned. Yes, your interest may have been piqued by an article on AI and its emergence in the marketing sector, but if there is no real way it can be applied to your own business, you don't need to jump on board. By all means get informed about it, but don't blindly invest your resources into it just because somebody said you must.
Keep your strategy as simple as you can, until you are ready to build on it, analyse what works for you, and keep improving it through trial and (hopefully little) error. It's your business, so use your own acumen to figure out what you need to do, and how, and what improvements you can make based on the leadership pieces that fit your business model.
Be informed, but don't be afraid to go your own way. Be open to what thought leaders say, but don't be blindly led by their arguments. Be flexible, but don't bend over backwards to incorporate practices that won't suit you or your target market.
But you don't have to take my word for it. I'm no digital marketing guru.

2017 Final Investment Decision
In July 2017, Progress Energy's sister company Pacific NorthWest LNG announced that the LNG project in Port Edward, British Columbia will not proceed as previously planned. The decision was made by PETRONAS and its partners after a careful and total review of the project amid changes in market conditions. PETRONAS' commitment in Canada continues through Progress and its world-class inventory of natural gas resources. The subsidiary will play a key role in supporting PETRONAS' growth strategy in North America.
2015 Final Investment Decision with conditions
In June 2015, Progress Energy's sister company Pacific NorthWest LNG made a Final Investment Decision on the liquefaction and export terminal project with two conditions: approval of the Project Development Agreement by the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, and a positive regulatory decision on the company's environmental assessment by the Government of Canada. Approval of the Project Development Agreement was granted in July 2015.
2015 Successful Appraisal Phase complete
After two years of successful appraisal of the company's natural gas reserves, Progress Energy has transformed its land position to a world class unconventional resource. It has advanced its technical skills while ramping up operations in a safe, sustainable and compliant manner to reach 15 trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserves, an amount sufficient to supply 2 billion cubic feet per day to Pacific NorthWest LNG for 25 years.
2014 Continued asset growth

For Belarusian Children
Registered Charity Number: 1077872
Designed and Managed by Matt Capel
Leave of Hope ©
Hosted and IT Managed by Dave Cox firstname.lastname@example.com
'Leaves of Hope' was founded on 24th May 1999 and since its inception has grown from strength to strength. This would not have been achieved without the great number of volunteers that have joined us over the years and we have a group of dedicated trustees, some of whom have been with us for a number of years, who work tirelessly behind the scenes. All of our trustees work entirely voluntarily.
Margaret Bamford OBE DL has now retired from the charity as the Fostering and Prevention projects have come to their natural conclusion. Margaret achieved such a lot during her 15 years with 'Leaves of Hope' and her legacy lives on with the charity through the thousands of children who have been fostered and the many who have been saved from abandonment.
Tina Donovan is our new Chair and has already settled into her new role with fresh ideas and a great deal of enthusiasm. Tina, is a Director of New Bridges Specialist Care, a Newport based company that is a specialist residential and outreach service provider for individuals who have acquired brain injury, complex needs and learning disabilities
'Leaves of Hope' continues to work with young people from Britain, offering the 'Belarus Experience' where the young people travel to Minsk to work in orphanages and children's hospitals. We offer decorating projects, where we brighten the children's environment with lively and stimulating murals on freshly decorated walls. We also offer involvement in a play scheme, where the team teaches the orphans and their teachers how to play – a very popular activity at present!
We no longer drive to Belarus, the 3,000 mile journey from Cardiff to Minsk and return became too much for us older members! The sad thing about this is that we no longer have the 3 days of bonding on the journey out. However, that wonderful team building experience has been replaced with something equally exciting – a team building weekend with the Army. Major Ray Jolly of the RAMC offers a team building exercise with volunteers from the 207 Field Army Hospital. A brilliant weekend enjoyed by the young people and adults alike.
We hope you enjoy our new website and hope it inspires newcomers to join us and old timers to come back. Without you we could do nothing. The celebration of our achievements is your celebration and your achievement. We thank you all and hope we can continue to count on your help.
'Leaves of Hope' -
When 'Leaves of Hope' was first formed, we travelled to the Novinki Orphanage in
Minsk mainly in the spring and the autumn. The children in the orphanages have no
real sense of time -
It is our ambition to give every child their own 'Leaf of Hope'

Subject: Embassy Kathmandu Warden Message - May 7, 2010
The Unified CPN-Maoist Party has been carrying out nationwide strikes since Sunday, May 2, 2010. The U.S. Embassy in Kathmandu has been closed since May 3rd and will likely remain closed until the strikes are lifted. Large demonstrations and traffic disruptions continue to occur around Kathmandu and throughout the country. These strikes, or "bandhs" as they are referred to locally, have been successful in completely shutting down vehicular movement and businesses. As of May 7, 2010, the political situation remains deadlocked and we are unable to predict when the strike will conclude.
Supplies are running short in some places and travel has been disrupted throughout the country. Businesses and public transport have been severely affected. Essential supplies are dwindling and the strike has made it difficult or sometimes prevented supplies from being replenished. U.S. citizens are encouraged to stock adequate supplies of water, food, fuel, money and medication. Shops and markets are allowed to open for several hours each morning and evening. Some hotels are concerned about not being able to provide adequate services to tourists in Nepal. While the demonstrations have been largely peaceful, there have been sporadic clashes between the Maoist demonstrators and counter-demonstrators and security forces. U.S. citizens are strongly urged to avoid mass gatherings and demonstrations and to avoid traveling by wheeled transportation, including buses, cars, and bicycles. U.S. citizens are advised to monitor the situation closely on local media outlets and to stay in your homes or hotels and not move throughout the area unless absolutely necessary.
Please remain cognizant and aware of your surroundings and what may transpire. We wish to remind U.S. citizens that even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and possibly escalate into violence. U.S. citizens are therefore urged to avoid the areas of demonstrations if possible, and to exercise caution if within the vicinity of any demonstrations.
The Nepal Tourism Board is running tourist buses to and from the international airport, which remains open. It is difficult to travel within Nepal except by air and some domestic flights also have been disrupted.
For additional information, please refer to "A Safe Trip Abroad." U.S. citizens living or traveling in Nepal are encouraged to register with the U.S. Embassy through the State Department's travel registration website. The Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy in Kathmandu is located at Maharajgunj. The telephone number is 977-1-4007200, 4007201. The number for after-hours emergencies is 977-1-4007266, 4007269. The fax number is 977-1-4007281. The Consulate's e-mail address is firstname.lastname@example.com and its Internet web page is http://nepal.usembassy.gov. U.S. citizens should also consult the Department of State's latest Country Specific Information for Nepal and the Worldwide Caution, both available at http://travel.state.gov. Up-to-date information on security can also be obtained by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll free in the United States or, for callers outside the United States and Canada, a regular toll line at 1-202-501-4444. These numbers are available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern time, Monday through Friday (except U.S. federal holidays).


text: Sunbelt Software, a provider of Windows NT and Windows 2000 (Win2K) systems management tools and publisher of a weekly e-zine, conducted a nonscientific survey of the IT community in January about the reliability of Windows 2000 Professional (Win2K Pro). Sunbelt's customers equate desktop OS reliability with the ability to do more work, more of the time. Win2K Pro includes several important new features, including Windows File Protection, Driver Certification, and Windows Installer—all of which claim to enhance its reliability. However, the question that Sunbelt wanted to answer was, when users install and use Win2K Pro, how much increased reliability do these features translate into? The survey went to two of Sunbelt's most popular lists: MCSEs and NT systems administrators from a wide variety of Fortune 1000 companies, government institutions, and small businesses. Specifically, the survey asked respondents to compare the reliability of Win2K Pro, Windows 9x, and NT Workstation. With 1032 responses, results clearly indicate that Microsoft has hit a home run in desktop reliability with Win2K Pro. On average, Win2K Pro is three times more reliable than Win9x and two times more reliable than NT Workstation. In addition, 9 of 10 respondents said that Win2K Pro is more reliable than Win98, and 3 of 4 respondents confirmed that Win2K Pro is more reliable than NT Workstation. The responses speak for themselves. Early users told Sunbelt that Win2K Pro is perceptibly more reliable than Win9x or NT Workstation 4.0. In a nutshell, the users have spoken: Win2K Pro sets a new standard in desktop reliability. For more details on the survey, visit Sunbelt Software.

Subj: Reincarnation, By Wallace McRae (S110)
From: mbucher in 1999
What is reincarnation? A cowboy
asked his friend.
It starts, his old pal told him, when your life
comes to an end.
They wash your neck and comb your hair and clean your
And put you in a padded box away from life's travails.
The box and you goes in a hole
that's been dug in the ground.
Reincarnation starts in when you're planted neath that mound.
Them clods melt down, just like the box, and you who is inside.
And that's when you begin your transformation ride.
And in a while the grass will
grow upon your rendered mound,
Until some day, upon that spot, a lonely flower is found.
And then a horse may wander by and graze upon that flower
That once was you, and now has become your vegetated bower.
Now, the flower that the horse
done eat, along
with his other feed,
Makes bone and fat and muscle essential to the steed.
But there's a part that he can't use and so it passes through.
And there it lies upon the ground, this thing that once was you.
And if perchance, I should pass
by and see this on the ground,
I'll stop awhile and ponder at this object that I've found.
I'll think about Reincarnation and life and death and such,
And come away concludin', why, you ain't changed all that much.

Subj: Mirror Mirror - Poem (S649b)
From: LABLaughsClean in 2009
Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Do you have to tell it all?
Where do you get the glaring right
To make my clothes look just too tight?
I think I'm fine but I can see
you won't co-operate with me;
The way you let the shadows play,
You'd think my hair was getting grey
What's that, you say? A double chin?
No, that's the way the light comes in;
If you persist in peering so,
You'll confiscate my facial glow,
And then if you're not hanging straight,
You'll tell me next I'm gaining weight;
I'm really quite upset with you,
For giving this distorted view;
I hate you being smug and wise...
O, look what's happened to my thighs!
I warn you now, O mirrored wall,
Since we're not on speaking terms at all,
If I look like this in my new jeans,
You'll find yourself in smithereens!!

by David L. Weatherford
From: hellgunner50 on 10/10/2008
Source: www.snopes.com/inboxer/medical/slowdance.asp
Have you ever watched kids on
a merry-go-round,
or listened to rain slapping the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic
or gazed at the sun fading into the night?
You better slow down, don't dance
so fast,
time is short, the music won't last.
Do you run through each day on
the fly,
when you ask "How are you?", do you hear the reply?
When the day is done, do you
lie in your bed,
with the next hundred chores running through your head?
You better slow down, don't dance
so fast,
time is short, the music won't last.
Ever told your child, we'll do
it tomorrow,
and in your haste, not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch, let a friendship
'cause you never had time to call and say hi?
You better slow down, don't dance
so fast,
time is short, the music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere,
you miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through
your day,
it's like an unopened gift thrown away.
Life isn't a race, so take it
hear the music before your song is over.

Subj: Walking A Crooked Path (S277b)
From: mombear1 in 2002
One day through the primeval
a calf walked home as good calves should.
But made a trail all bent askew,
a crooked trail as all calves do.
Since then three hundred years
have fled,
and I infer the calf is dead.
But still he left behind his
and thereby hangs my moral tale.
The trail was taken up next day,
by a lone dog that passed that way:
And then a wise bell-wether sheep,
pursued the trail o'er vale and steep,
And drew the flock behind him,
as good bell-wether sheep, always do.
And from that day, o'er hill
and glade,
through those old woods a path was made.
And many men wound in and out,
and dodged and turned and bet about,
And uttered words of righteous
because 'twas such a crooked path;
But still they followed--do not
the first migrations of that calf.
And through this winding wood-way
because he wobbled when he walked.
This forest patch became a lane,
that bent and turned and turned again;
This crooked lane became a road,
where many a poor horse with his load,
Toiled on beneath the burning
and traveled some three miles in one.
And thus a century and a half,
they tred the footsteps of that calf.
The years passed on in swiftness
the road became a village street;
And this, before men were aware,
a city's crowded thoroughfare.
And soon the central street was
of a renowned metropolis;
And men two centuries and a half,
tred in the footsteps of that calf.
Each day a hundred thousand men,
follow this zigzag calf again,
And o'er his crooked journey
the traffic of a continent.
A hundred thousand men were led,
by one calf near three centuries dead.
They followed still his crooked
and lost one hundred years a day;
For thus such reverence is lent,
to a well-established precedent.
A moral lesson this might teach,
were I ordained and called to preach;
For men are prone to get blind,
along the calf-path of the mind,
And work away from sun to sun,
to do what others men have done.
They follow in the beaten track,
and in and out, and forth and back,
And still their devious course
to keep the path that others do.
They keep the path a sacred groove,
along which all their lives they move.
But how the old wood-gods laugh,
who first saw the primeval calf.
And, many things this tale might
but I'm not ordained to preach.

John DiStaso's Granite Status: Gabrielle Giffords' gun control advocacy group critical of Ayotte in new radio adBy John DiStaso
Senior Political Reporter
April 23. 2013 7:08PM
HITTING AYOTTE'S BIG VOTE. Last week, Sen. Kelly Ayotte was a key vote in the U.S. Senate's 54-46 rejection of a plan by Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Republican Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania to require background checks for guns purchased at gun shows or on the Internet.
Now, the Granite Status has learned, former Democratic U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and husband Mark Kelly's Americans for Responsible Solutions on Wednesday will launch a two-week, $49,000 radio ad buy throughout southern New Hampshire accusing the New Hampshire Republican of "ignoring" the will of Granite Staters.
The state Republican Party dismissed Americans for Responsible Solutions as an out-of-state group and said Ayotte has "worked on legislation to strengthen the nation's flawed background check system and helped pass legislation to improve the mental health system."
The ARS ad will air on stations in Manchester, Concord and Keene and on the Seacoast.
The local tie in the Giffords-Kelly advocacy group/political action committee is its executive director and co-founder. Pia Carusone is Giffords' former chief of staff and the former communications director of the New Hampshire Democratic Party.
Carusone was widely quoted nationally following the shooting rampage in Arizona in January 2011, in which Gifford was among the victims.
Ayotte is not up for reelection until 2016, but is viewed at this early stage as strong favorite for reelection. Still, gun control advocates believe she is now more vulnerable than she was before the vote, and hope they can sway her to their side with some on-the-air nudging.
The ad script has two women discussing Ayotte, with one saying, "Remember that ad with Kelly Ayotte saying she's one of us?" recalling Ayotte's 2010 campaign ad where she was "out for a run."
"It sure didn't take long for Ayotte to 'go Washington,'" says a woman in the ad.
The ad says that nearly nine in 10 Granite Staters support universal background checks, and charges that she "just ignored us." The poll cited was released last month by the group Mayors Against Illegal Guns, headed by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
The ad says Manchin-Toomey was "bipartisan legislation supported by law enforcement" and that it "protected Second Amendment rights."
The ad then urges listeners to call Ayotte and "tell her to listen to the will of the people for a change."
The group, which says it is non-partisan, will also begin airing an ad in Maine tomorrow with a former chief of police and mayor of Lewiston thanking Republican Sen. Susan Collins for her vote in favor of the Manchin-Toomey plan.
It will also air an ad in Kentucky accusing Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of ignoring his constituents, while also airing "thank you" ads for Republican Arizona Sen. John McCain, Louisiana Democrat Mary Landrieu and South Carolina Democrat Kay Hagan.
Its total ad buy nationally is $377,000.
Ayotte was the only Northeastern senator to oppose the plan. ARS points out that she was a strong anti-crime Attorney General and that the senator she succeeded, Republican Judd Gregg, favored an assault weapons ban.
Giffords, in a New York Times opinion piece last week, accused the senators who opposed the Manchin-Toomey plan of "cowardice" and indicated there will be a response.
Carusone said, "We're disappointed in Senator Ayotte's vote against the law enforcement endorsed, bipartisan background check proposal. The 89 percent of Granite Staters who support this common sense, moderate proposal expected more from her. No matter how you spin it, a vote against background checks was choosing to listen to the corporate gun lobby over the voices of Granite Staters."
In response, NHGOP executive director Matthew Slater said: "This is an out of state group citing a poll commissioned by an organization backed by the liberal mayor of New York City. What the ad doesn't say is that Senator Ayotte worked on legislation to strengthen the nation's flawed background check system and helped pass legislation to improve the mental health system."

Whenever Bungie releases a new DLC or expansion for Destiny (or Destiny 2), there are a few things that hardcore players must do. They must try to collect every worthwhile piece of gear, including new exotic weapons and armor. They must complete the new endgame activities, like the Eater of Worlds raid lair. And they must hit the power level cap, which was raised to 335 with the release of Curse of Osiris.
But getting to the power level cap in Destiny 2 can be a slow grind if players don't know where to look. Luckily, we have all the tips on how to get to power level 335 quickly and with minimal effort.
Before players want to invest in increasing their power level they should farm legendary or rare engrams. The new soft cap for rare and legendary engrams is 305 (or 310 with mods) so it is best to hit that mark before using all of the methods listed below. And keep in mind all of these power level increasing methods can be used once per week per character. Some have a limit if you have multiple characters of the same class, but if you have different characters then everything will scale to that character's highest potential power level.
Milestones will always be the key to higher level gear since they reward Powerful Engrams. These engrams will always scale above a player's current power level, usually by a margin of about 5 power levels. In total, there are 5 Milestones (not counting the raid one listed below) to complete every week that will guarantee those Powerful Rewards:
In addition to the Nightfall Strike Powerful Reward, completion of the strike (on any character) will also drop a piece of gear that scales with the player's power level. What's great about this is that gear drop scales on a second or third character of the same class, so it is worth doing the Nightfall Strike even if you have 3 Warlocks, for example. You can also get an additional loot drop from completing the Prestige Nightfall Strike, but keep in mind the new recommended power level for the strike is 330.
Every drop from the raid and the raid lair – if you are lucky to get a drop – will scale with the player's power level. In total, there are 3 sub encounters in the Leviathan raid and 1 sub encounter in the Eater of Worlds raid lair. Unfortunately, as we mentioned, there is no guarantee that the encounter will drop a piece of loot. If you are lucky enough to get a drop, though, it should be a boost in power level.
There is also a guaranteed raid drop from Leviathan if the fireteam completes the raid challenge for the week. You can also complete the challenge on Prestige difficulty for an extra guarantee drop, but keep in mind the extra Prestige raid mechanics and that the drops will all be armor.
There are three chests in the Destiny 2 raids that don't require much effort at all to acquire and they all drop a scaling legendary engram. Opening the first encounter in the Leviathan raid will spawn a chest that includes a scaling engram, and getting through the reactor platforming puzzle in Eater of Worlds spawns a similar chest. There is also a secret chest in the Eater of Worlds that is really easy to get and offers a scaling engram.
Also, if your team is strong enough you can open the first encounter of the Prestige Leviathan raid and get another scaling engram. But keep in mind that the fight is a lot tougher than on normal difficulty.
The Leviathan boss, Calus, and the Eater of Worlds boss, Argos, are a different story than the sub encounters. Completing these boss fights guarantees a loot drop and this piece of gear typically drops at 330 if players are above 315. This can be a huge boost to the power leveling process so we highly recommend completing the raid as early as possible and on as many characters as possible.
Exotic engrams will always scale with a player's power level, but getting them can be a challenge. Luckily, Xur is coming this weekend with Three of Coins, which will make the exotic farming process a lot easier.
Although there is no armor to be had, the Infinite Forge does drop scaling weapons that can help players boost their power level. Typically, there are three Lost Prophecy verses available per week and those can be used to forge a weapon at Mercury's Lighthouse. Whether you are just looking for a placeholder boost or something to infuse into your favorite PvE or PvP weapon, the Infinite Forge weapon can be a great source for higher power level weapons.
Throughout the Curse of Osiris campaign players will earn engrams that scale with their power level. Ikora Rey will also offer an exotic gauntlet from the Aeon set that will scale as well. Obviously, players are going to rush to complete the story missions in Curse of Osiris, but these rewards can be beneficial for leveling up.
And when players do finish the main Curse of Osiris campaign they will be offered a piece from the new armor set. This final offering can be a great way to boost a player's power level, since they can choose based on which armor piece is their lowest power level. Then, if you have a second playthrough, you can go for a different armor piece that is "holding you back."
If players are smart about when they spend their Powerful Rewards and when they complete certain activities, they should be close to power level 335 within a week. And all that will be left is a little clean up with the next week's Milestones. Then once you hit the power level cap, you can work on farming Masterwork Weapons for the optimal loadout.
Destiny 2: Curse of Osiris is out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
