What everybody's wants are different, so we tend to be selfish with our wants. What do you want? What does everybody want? We live in a World of selfishness. I want that.
It all Leeds to conflict and arguments.
Most people would rather live in a peaceful atmosphere of love and happiness. Many people are very insulting to others because they think they know better. They are of the opinion that they are a class above everybody else and when they open their mouth out flows their high and mighty abuse regardless of whether it is right or wrong.
To beat that kind of attitude you have to catch them off guard. Apologize and sympathize with their point of view by being over friendly. Thank them for going to the trouble you have caused according to them and promise no more stupid blunders will be made for them to get upset about which will force them into apologizing for what they said. Now apologize again so they then are more full of apologizes. Keep pleading that it has distressed you more hence more apologizes. The only thing you must not do is show any hint of laughing at them as you just proved you are above them.
One other point of view has been settled by returning kindness for their insult. A lot of people find it hard to except the facts of a situation wanting the problem to be solved quicker than possible then argue for the impossible result and nothing else will be acceptable.
A smart person instead of arguing would put all problems on the table for discussion for and against. If it could be done quicker now but it will be only short lived and take two to three times to fix next time. A back down will not be easy to except. Where as the argument would be ongoing with no results. Put their argument in a bottle of sympathy and watch it dissolve. Most people love sympathy for any reason real or false. Self-pity for any reason is attention seeking. Always be sympathetic for their ways desires and ideas deserved or not.
Do you look after your health or just wait until you are sick to care? Look after your family first especially the young and old. New Technology has arrived to save lives and cheep.

I have had a sore knee since then and was limping around the shopping centers a month ago so I received my REN 28 and have been putting it on since then and now not limping. 58 years later at 76 years of age and only 24 to go do you think I will need an operation?

Ice Palace
health; Fiona and I have a cold – blah
workouts; mostly elliptical at home, no boot camps, 2 weight liftings
projects; new set on deck; set of blankets for the kids school carnival – easy and nearly done already
Big countdowns; Days to Texas; 11. Days until Zoe's first Camp; 5
Beard; has a note from the governor since he has to 'be' silent Bob again soon
I have no real excuse for the lack of posting last week. I kept meaning to write something and I started one thing but the blog-elves never visited so I had nothing.
We were busy with the normal life stuff. Fiona is in a no nap phase, probably growing out of them in general, so I have a less set time to do 'work' on the computer. I need to just set up the laptop upstairs and I'll have a way again but it needs a new cord, looks like something chewed the last one (like a rolling chair not a person).
Friday we took a trip to the Ice Castle AND we brought friends. It was a great trip, and lucky too, because it was the last night and we didn't even know it! Santa got tickets for the family from Groupon, it saved us some money but given the cost for a kid ticket we were about equal on the kids and a head on the adults. It did however, force the issue of actually going because we had already paid. That is probably the #1 good thing about Groupon – it turns 'we should' into 'we are'.
Quick view on IceCastle MN;
Cost – low, tickets online and only minor concession pressure
Must have – snow gear!
Fun Time – takes about 45 min to see/do it 'all' unless there is a show. Depends on your kids how many times they want to slide and explore. We spent 3 hours there.
Since this is our second trip to the ice castle and I've noticed a few pros and cons
- The Groupon/website experience was maddening. I got a set of 4 and a set of 2 but one can NOT make a reservation for 6 and use that combo, one needs to make 2 reservations each equal to the Groupon.
- The only way to communicate with the event was via facebook and they were not fast.
- Facebook was also very overly optimistic about things because when 5 people were asking about the fact there was rain and 45 degrees predicted they were not concerned. PS we got there and the attendants were tell us it was the last night as they were shoveling slush into the rivers.
- bathrooms… I know this is a temp thing, and servicing might be a problem, but a bathroom inside the castle would be very nice.
- No re-entry stamp? I thought they did it last year but this year (on my trips to the bathroom) I had to just rely on our memorable faces so they would let us back in.
- The Elsa this year looked like a drag queen. She was not nice either.
- Absolute best thing is that other than being an ice structure with an in and out tunnel, it was 100% different than last year. That is impressive and a reason I will go back yearly.
- The slide this year was much more fun for the kids, and, included slide mats
- The fire performers were great. I've seen plenty of these performances and these guys had the normal set of tricks but they were engaged with the audience, they went on for a long time, and the posed for pictures.
- The hot cocoa booth was much more accessible this year
- I liked the dispersion of benches and fire places! It was 45 degrees, but, still nice to warm up.
- The staff was all friendly and positive even with the drips and puddles
- For all the trouble of the website, the check in process was super fast and easy
- The beauty and design of the place might be the last thing on the list but seriously a work of art. It was made to be looked at and the faces on the kids reflected that.
- The internal lighting was so cool…
Our trip there was blessed because while it might have been full of drips, it was way better to not have freezing kids. They loved everything and with friends along they all went off in different directions (it is not a big place) and had that glee of independence. Everyone behaved well, there is something about bringing extra kids that makes them all better. It is a ton of driving but worth it for the once a year fun.

The plan comes as a result of a five-day visit in early February by a five-member team headed by Bangladesh Prime Minister's Energy Adviser Dr Tawfiq-e-Elahi Chowdhury to Nay Pyi Taw. Meetings included Myanmar Vice President U Nyan Tun, Deputy Ministers U Maw Thar Htwe and U Aung Htoo, and Bangladeshi Ambassador to Myanmar Mr Mohammad Sufiur Rahman.
Although Bangladesh has still to link all its citizens to its own power grid, it currently has twice the coverage of neighbouring Myanmar.
According to the newspaper, Myanmar has responded positively to the proposal, one of several options open in its critical efforts to expand the national power grid that currently struggles to serve 33 percent of the population.
According to diplomatic sources, Myanmar has mapped a 15-year power development plan to meet increasing demand, setting its sights on boosting capacity from 4,581 megawatts to over 29,000MW in 2031.
As per the Bangladeshi proposal, the Myanmar gas would be delivered through a pipeline, crossing through the Naf River, to Chittagong in Bangladesh where a power plant would be built. Power generated from the gas supply would be exported again to Myanmar.
If the proposal gets a nod, Bangladesh can earn income from the power generation, and also can buy electricity from it, officials said.
In addition, it was proposed that Bangladesh could import gas through the pipeline, take part in joint investment for power generation, and purchase 500 megawatts of hydropower from Chin or Rakhine states through erecting a cross-border power transmission grid line.
A delegation member told the newspaper that for the "first time" Myanmar was very positive about the proposal, as in the past they tended to say they needed to first deal with their own ongoing electricity crisis before considering exporting to Bangladesh.

KPFK Listener Candidate: Ronald Spriestersbach
I am running for re-election to the KPFK Local Station Board (LSB). I've been a listener-sponsor almost continuously since the inception of KPFK. I am running with a slate from Grassroots Community Radio Coalition. I believe that the changing times require a far greater emphasis on local affairs. Conditions of homelessness, joblessness, attacks on immigrants, and cuts in education, which is priced out of the pocketbooks of most people, are examples of threats against a caring society.
President Obama has continued the move toward a unitary presidency, accompanied by war, begun by George W. Bush. The US is pursuing seemingly perpetual war, pursuing a new empire of American hegemony. So, our programming must be strongly for peace. We must steer our programming also to fight for migrant rights, for racial equality, against the prison industrial complex, and for economic equality. We have to build our listenership on these matters and not on solutions which are based on quack medicine and other magic solutions. Otherwise we are doomed to rapid obsolescence.
We must increase our coverage of global warming on KPFK. I, personally, believe that the present trajectory of the environment will take us to extinction along with all other living things, unless we stop the accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere. To stop burning fossil fuels, we will, according to the first article in the March 2010 issue of the Monthly Review, have to live more simply. We will have to abandon a "greed is good" philosophy. This problem is so important to me that was enrolled for two years in a Senior Scholars program at UCLA to study global warming.
I am for the continuation and the augmentation of our Spanish language programming. We have the largest Spanish-speaking population of all American cities, but there is a movement in Los Angeles to eliminate Spanish language programs from KPFK. Instead, we must learn to benefit from the large population. Many of the biggest contributors to the station are Spanish speakers, and many of them desire to bring in more members. The attack has been especially focused against Spanish language news, which has recently gained world-wide attention. This trend must be reversed. Some programming in other languages should also be considered. For example, if there is a big crisis in the Korean community, special programming in the Korean language should be considered.
Finally, I feel we must reintroduce local English language news. Especially in times of a huge intensification of local problems, we need up-to-date, high quality local news. The need for news is not satisfied by using programs from KPFA.
Currently, I have participated on the Finance, Outreach, and Town Hall committees and on the PNB Spanish Language Task Force and Committee of Inclusion. I am now a member of the Local Station Board of KPFK

Fast Dinner Recipes
Grilled Salmon with Melted Tomatoes
Jalapeños not only garnish this sweet-smoky grilled salmon but also infuse the oil used to sauté the tomatoes.GO TO RECIPE
Lemon-Stuffed Grilled Branzino
The Good News Branzino, a European sea bass, is low in fat but has a wonderful richness when cooked on the bone. Barbara Lynch stuffs the fish with lemons and herbs, then grills it until the skin is browned and crispy to add even more flavor.GO TO RECIPE
Pasta Bolognese
We find this sauce, which is traditionally simmered for a long time, tastes just as good when cooked for less than half an hour. Now you won't have to consign Bolognese sauce to the lazy Sunday afternoon of cooking that never comes.GO TO RECIPE
Sizzling Shrimp Scampi
Scampi refers to shrimp that are split, brushed with garlicky butter and broiled. The recipe here calls for flavoring butter with lemon, garlic, parsley and thyme, then dotting it liberally on shrimp and roasting the shellfish until it sizzles.GO TO RECIPE
Linguine with Tomatoes, Baby Zucchini and Herbs
"This dish makes you understand the less-is-more approach of Italian cooking," says Andreas Viestad about his pasta tossed with a raw tomato-and-zucchini sauce.GO TO RECIPE
Hanger Steak with Herb-Nut Salsa
Naomi Pomeroy, an F&W Best New Chef 2009, regards eco-activist Alice Waters as "the center of the vegetable-driven universe." At Beast in Portland, Oregon, Pomeroy serves her version of the salsa verde in Waters's 1996 book Chez Panisse Vegetables, adding toasted hazelnuts and doubling the herbs. The salsa is a vibrant addition to simple grilled hanger steak.GO TO RECIPE
Grilled Lamb Chops with Ladolemono
Michael Psilakis dresses these luscious lamb chops with ladolemono, a supersimple Greek sauce of lemon juice and olive oil. The sauce is often spooned over fish, but it's delicious on meat and vegetables, too. "This is real Greek cooking," he says.GO TO RECIPE
Barbecued Spiced Shrimp with Tomato Salad
The big, bold Southwestern flavors in this shrimp seasoning—which include pure ancho chile powder, smoked paprika, cumin and brown sugar—epitomize Bobby Flay's style. The seasoning mix would also be terrific on pork chops or beef tenderloin.GO TO RECIPE
Honey-and-Soy Glazed Carrots
Honey and soy make these sautéed carrots pleasingly sweet and salty, with a rich golden brown color around the edges.GO TO RECIPE
Grilled Flank Steak with Sichuan Peppercorns
Marcia Kiesel loves the numbing heat of Sichuan peppercorns. Inspired by dan dan, the Sichuan noodle dish, she seasons flank steaks with a simple but potent blend of the peppercorns and store-bought Chinese black bean-garlic paste.GO TO RECIPE
Grilled Salmon with Dill Pickle Butter
For Marcia Kiesel, salmon is an excellent low-maintenance ingredient for the grill because it doesn't need careful testing for doneness—the fish is wonderful cooked anywhere from rare to medium. As soon as the fillets come off the grill, she tops them with a tangy pickle-studded butter.GO TO RECIPE
Baby Zucchini Sauté with Mint
"I grow zucchini and end up with so much of it," says Katie Lee. "Zucchini with lemon and mint is one of my favorite combos." Halved baby zucchini are pleasantly crisp-tender when sautéed, but the dish is equally delicious made with "adult" zucchini.GO TO RECIPE
Light Fettuccine Alfredo
This extra-light Alfredo sauce for pasta gets its silkiness from fresh ricotta and grated pecorino cheese.GO TO RECIPE
Sesame-Crusted Salmon
Cornstarch, egg white and sesame seeds form a crackling crust on these salmon fillets. The flavor of the toasted sesame seeds is complemented by the Asian-flavored sauce surrounding the fish, but don't serve the sauce over the fish of you'll lose the crunch.GO TO RECIPE
Green Bean-Tomato Salad with Herbs
Salade Niçoise is one of the great summer dishes of Southern France. It's the centerpiece of a party that's all about sunny Mediterranean style, from the wine to the plates to the tea towels.GO TO RECIPE
Open-Face Grilled Eggplant Sandwiches
Pairing note For this smoky version of eggplant Parmesan, Sam Calagione and Marnie Old looked for a beer and a wine that could stand up to the grilled eggplant without overwhelming it.GO TO RECIPE
Veal Scallopine with Charred Cherry Tomato Salad
In this faster version of a steak salad, charred tomatoes add their warm, tangy juices to an arugula salad served alongside quick-grilled veal scallopine.GO TO RECIPE
Summer Farro Salad
Marco Canora says you can swap in any starch—like bread or pasta—for the farro (a nutty Italian grain) in this recipe.
A Lesson in Farro Canora simmers farro in water with sautéed onion, carrots and celery. The aromatic vegetables add delicate flavor to the cooked grains.GO TO RECIPE

The Elusive Quetzal Bird
Pharomachrus moccino, one of the most beautiful birds in the Americas
and somewhat rare it is rather difficult to spot it.
Its habitat has been reduced to some patches of cloud forest on Guatemala's Sierra de las Minas and a small "bantustan" on the department of Baja Verapaz at the Biopoto del Quetzal and surroundings. This last being its breeding and nesting site for excellence.
One of the best places to catch a glimpse of the bird is at Ranchitos del Quetzal, a small and basic hotel next to the Biotopo. This hotel is located on a natural corridor the bird uses for his feeding habits.
Have you seen it?

There's a strong bond between humans and animals, so no wonder that approximately 65% of United States households own a pet. Dogs and cats are the most popular pets and some of the reasons why people prefer them include the fact that they are adaptive and docile.
While there are many advantages to owning an animal, including health benefits, cleaning up after a pet is generally perceived as a hassle. Dogs and cats, or other furry animals, leave hair everywhere, especially on floor and carpets. This can be frustrating as the only way to revent accumulation of pet hair and dander is to vacuum the floor as often as possible.
You have plenty of options available that do a great job at picking up pet hair, like canister vacuums for pet hair, but you still need to handle them to remove the unwanted hair and dirt. A great alternative that more and more people take into consideration is the robot vacuum as it does most of the job by itself. The most advanced robots can clean the house from one side to the other without requicring any help. They even have high-performance filters that trap the dander and other small particles. This will definitely make a difference in the quality of indoor air, especially if you already have an air purifier for pets.
It's true that they aren't flawless but they get better and better. To convince you about their utility, we have gathered the best models that successfully deal with pet hair and keep your house dust-free. Look at each of the models, read their pros and cons, and get the one you like the most.

Meet The Telugu Man Who Created Some Of India's Very First Comics!
"Bujjai" a word that connects many memories for a typical telugu guy and it is quite a familiar brand among all comic lovers. But, the man behind these creations is lesser known than his works. "Devulapalli Subbaraya Sastri" is the Man behind these brilliant master pieces's and is often referred to as the "Father of Indian Comics" by many. Here's a piece remembering his works and also a walk down the memory lane to make you feel nostalgia.
Devulapalli Subbaraya Sastri also known as Bujjai was a self taught illustrator, writer, artist and creator of the famous comic series "Panchathantra" is the same man who carried the legacy of legendary poet Devulapalli Krishna Sastri. The fact that he grew up to create the desi version on characters like Calvin and hobbes, Denis- the menace without any formal education or orthodox training. And much earlier than any self proclaimed legendary comics from the west.
Here are a few images from his creations:
In a write up to Scroll his son Krishna Sastri defines how his father created beautiful pieces "Watching my father draw is like witnessing a daily magic show from the dress circle. It starts with a crisp, blank, machine-trimmed page 11" x 14". Father divides it into three equal rectangles drawn one below the other, leaving margins all around and in between. Then he pencils into the boxes the text of the story that is floating about in his head. Oval bubbles with a pointed tail directed towards the speaker encompass speech, and cloud-shaped bubbles with steadily shrinking circles below them indicate thoughts. Even-toothed starbursts surround Indianized sound effects, Dham for "Crash" and Bhal for "Splash".
The modern day tech gen might never relish how amazing our childhood was with these small yet beautiful cartoons and illustrations in newspapers. Gone are the days when a small column or image that featured used to make our day/week.

text: This paper presents a novel deformable-model-based algorithm for fully automated detection of optic disk boundary in fundus images. The proposed method improves and extends the original snake (deforming-only technique) in two aspects: clustering and smoothing update. The contour points are first self-separated into edge-point group or uncertain-point group by clustering after each deformation, and these contour points are then updated by different criteria based on different groups. The updating process combines both the local and global information of the contour to achieve the balance of contour stability and accuracy. The modifications make the proposed algorithm more accurate and robust to blood vessel occlusions, noises, ill-defined edges and fuzzy contour shapes. The comparative results show that the proposed method can estimate the disk boundaries of 100 test images closer to the groundtruth, as measured by mean distance to closest point (MDCP) <,3 pixels, with the better success rate when compared to those obtained by gradient vector flow snake (GVF-snake) and modified active shape models (ASM).

I've been doing a lot of research lately about Accessibility and Universal Design when it comes to websites.We all know how important the web has become to most people. It's where we download forms, buy movie tickets, decline invitations from real-life friends on Facebook, shop Craigslist...
Just imagine how things would be for you if the internet, or so much of it, wasn't available to you because of a disability? The web is still primarily a sighted community, where we navigate by seeing, or at least expect users to navigate by sight. Lately though, I've been learning about alternate ways of browsing the web, like with JAWS.
JAWS is a screen reader that allows visually-impaired users use computers and navigate the web by listening to text being read out through synthesized speech. As someone who is very used to having sight, it's a hard concept to grasp fully. It's amazing, really.
As a web builder, it's always my job to make sure websites that I build will render on different devices, whether it's a new browser on a PC, a mobile device, or what have you. Up until recently though, I'll admit, I had only given passing thoughts to the rendering of content with a screen reader. I think I was intimidated to try it maybe. I knew the concept of screen readers, but now that I've taken the time to see what makes JAWS tick, I'm confident that I can put together a site that is a lot more alternative-device friendly than ever before.
In fact, I'll be speaking on the subject at a tech conference at Royal Roads University later this week. Stay tuned!

Talk to any B2B banker about allegation and they'll either aeon their eyes or bluster about how it's important but adamantine to get right—long advance cycles, assorted contacts from a distinct organization, etc.
Some ability beam blankly and ask what you mean.
As a group, we've gotten a firmer on top-of-the-funnel metrics. We can prove that amusing media and SEO drive cartage and top-line conversions, but we still attempt to appearance the bottom-line appulse of marketing.
To get business a bench at the table and prove that it can drive acquirement and pipeline, we've become ambiguous bedeviled with numbers. The accurateness of those numbers, however, depends abundantly on the affection of our allegation model.
Attribution takes business analytics a level—or a brace levels—deeper. If we attending at the bureaucracy of business data, it goes commodity like this:
As business confused online, we got appropriate at tracking articulation clicks and website behavior, but we still attempt to affix the dots amid addition visiting a website, demography an action, and acceptable a customer.
To reframe business as an advance rather than a bulk center, we charge affix all the dots to revenue—but it's adamantine to do afterwards the appropriate accoutrement and models to get started.
No business allegation archetypal is perfect. The prospect-to-customer adventure is not a beeline alternation of events; it's adamantine to adumbrate and admeasurement every engagement. However, some afterimage is bigger than none at all.
Why do I say that? Too often, in my centralized and now consulting days, I allocution to audience and admiral who appetite to apperceive how abundant anniversary dollar spent brings aback in acquirement and which channels and activities accomplish the bigger return.
That's the dream—but it's about absurd to do with 100% accuracy.
Marketers like to appointment with frameworks. The acceptable marketing/sales carry (soon to be replaced by Hubspot's Flywheel Model) is a absurd framework to put things into perspective.
But it abominably assumes that bodies go through the carry in a beeline line. In fact, they booty all kinds of detours. Aback the adventure isn't linear, it's absurd to actuate absolutely which touchpoint generates acquirement for anniversary applicant account.
Here's what I mean:
Which touchpoint generated the accomplished return? Was it the Facebook Ad, which got her absorption in the aboriginal place? The Twitter post? Or a accomplished agglomeration of added things she ability accept credible in the meantime? How do you absolve the Facebook Ad absorb or amusing media administrator if you can't tie their appointment to bankrupt deals?
This claiming is why you charge some anatomy of allegation modeling. Otherwise, you're aloof attractive at top-of-funnel cartage and conversions—not how those channels bisect to accomplish activity and revenue.
One of the companies I argue with spent a lot of money allotment conferences. One in authentic was awful admired in the industry—it had the appropriate titles and personas in attendance, so this applicant spent $50,000 on an anniversary sponsorship. It was a cogent block of the business annual and came at the bulk of added channels.
They abstinent success by the cardinal of attendees, which they counted as net new prospects. One of the aboriginal contest I did with them was to actualize an allegation archetypal to admeasurement barter appearance success. Application Salesforce (which I dive into below), we created a address on how the accident collection net new activity and whether it confused absolute opportunities against bankrupt sales.
After attractive at the abstracts above 3–6 months (the boilerplate sales cycle), it became bright that—even admitting the attack was a "success" based on the cardinal attendees—it collection a almost low allotment of activity revenue.
Attribution took a top-of-funnel metric (net new prospects) and affable added to actuate how abundant acquirement we absolutely drove, which accepted to be beneath than the investment.
As a result, the aggregation afflicted how it approached the event. It was still important for the cast and accepting face time with barter and prospects, but they bargain their advocacy amount.
The aforementioned altercation can be fabricated for any business activity:
Without attribution, you would abominably accredit all the acclaim to Twitter or the barter show.
There are altered agency to attending at allegation based on how you allotment and archetypal the data. The analytical touchpoints in B2B are the alteration stages in the chump journey:
(Note: I adopted some analogue aloft from Bizible)
You can clue added stages, but the point is not to clue every stage; otherwise, you'll accept too abundant noise. Focus on the stages you affliction about best and what drives the date change.
Your absolute chump adventure is annual 100%. Altered models accredit altered percentages to anniversary touchpoint.
For example, if you accept bristles touchpoints, a Beeline Archetypal will accredit acclaim appropriately above all touchpoints—each assurance is accustomed with 20%. You can additionally breach this bottomward by revenue: If a accord is annual $1,000, again anniversary touchpoint or assurance is annual $200.
Here's an overview of the altered models:
(CXL has a absurd commodity acknowledgment the altered allegation models in detail.)
No archetypal is the "right" one. It depends on the ambience of your business and how you adopt to measure. And remember: While not perfect, anniversary archetypal is bigger than not accepting any framework in place.
For B2B businesses, managing alone contacts aural an anniversary is acute for attribution.
By far, Salesforce is the best broadly acclimated CRM for B2B businesses. But one of its limitations is relying alone on the advance antecedent for attribution.
Here are the issues that can arise:
Field mapping amid Altar in Salesforce.
Thankfully, Salesforce Campaigns breach these issues brilliantly, acceptance for:
For authentic reporting, you charge to abduction every touchpoint and accredit it to a Salesforce Campaign. But you additionally appetite to abstain ambience up and managing hundreds of campaigns.
To accomplish the activity simpler, you consolidate touchpoints. For example, paid media (Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads, etc.), contest and tradeshows, and webinars are all important to clue independently. But maybe you can array newsletter and business emails (outside of nurtures) into a distinct campaign.
It's additionally important to use accordant attack statuses. So if it's a webinar, set up custom statuses to clue how abounding registered, attended, or were no-shows (versus relying on the binary, out-of-the-box "sent/responded' statuses). To accomplish this activity added efficient, I set up attack templates to calmly carbon statuses in the future.
You can set up allegation for business automation tools, too, and affix them with Salesforce to activate attack assignments.
Hubspot lets you actualize allegation models in a brace of ways: Original Antecedent and HubSpot Campaigns.
Original Source. Original Antecedent tracking tells you which access a anticipation came from afore acceptable a accepted contact. It relies on a cookie that's added to a prospect's browser aback they aboriginal appear to a web acreage with a HubSpot tracking code.
When they ample out a form, HubSpot ties the cookie to a accepted acquaintance in its arrangement to accord you a complete account of how the user aboriginal came to your site, how continued it took them to convert, and area they converted.
You can booty this a footfall added and attach UTM ambit to all links for all channels. Those ambit appearance up on anatomy submissions, finer alms Aboriginal Touch and Advance Creation allegation to show, for example, that a acquaintance came from Organic Chase but again adapted from Google Ads.
How does this attending in practice? Suppose I came to your website through Twitter, and a anniversary afterwards I adapted through a Google Ads campaign. Advertisement from those two fields gives you two touchpoints—what aboriginal bent my absorption and what led me to convert. Afterwards tracking both, we'd afield accord 100% of the acclaim to Twitter or Google Ads.
To clue which antecedent collection a acquaintance to become an Befalling or a Closed-Won, we can actualize an automation workflow that food the UTM amount in a acreage alleged "Lead Creation Touch." Aback a date changes from, for example, Advance to Opportunity, we can address the amount of the UTM constant into "Opportunity Creation Touch" and actuate the three touchpoints—Original Source, Advance Creation, and Befalling Creation.
Reporting all of these will accord you a added complete account of the adventure from bearding aggregation to customer.
Hubspot Campaigns. Hubspot has afresh broadcast advertisement to breach bottomward Aboriginal Touch, Influenced, and Barter sources by the campaign, enabling advertisement on all-embracing attack performance:
Similarly, in Pardot, you can accredit Pardot Campaigns based on Antecedent Tracking or Custom Redirects. You can use either to clue acquaintance touchpoints from Aboriginal Touch to Advance Creation and, ultimately, Closed-Won.
At present, Pardot doesn't activity an Original Antecedent tie as Hubspot does for bearding visitors. But there's a workaround: Actualize Custom Redirects for high-value campaigns and address in the Pardot Attack and Antecedent ethics for anyone who clicks on that link. The Pardot cookie can tie that Custom Redirect Antecedent aback to the acquaintance afterwards they become a accepted lead.
For a applicant who uses Pardot, I affiliated Google Analytics and Google Ads to Pardot to add UTM and GLICD parameters. Afterwards capturing UTM values, we set up automation rules to address the antecedent ethics on the acquaintance based on the UTM amount combinations and assigned them to specific Salesforce campaigns based on that data.
I address the ethics into a antecedent acreage rather than advertisement anon from UTMs because:
With Pardot, you can additionally clue keyword-level achievement through their Google Ads Connector.
Webcast, October 30th: What is Post-Click Optimization & Why is it Analytical for Marketers?
Marketo offers two methods. One is Programs, which are agnate to tracking statuses in Salesforce Campaigns. You can use tracking ambit to set Program memberships and statuses to actuate how your programs accomplish over time.
The ability of application Business Automation and Salesforce campaigns becomes credible aback you use your business automation apparatus to abduction and accredit Salesforce campaigns based on source/referral/medium values.
Google Analytics (GA) is conceivably the best broadly acclimated yet underutilized apparatus for web analytics.
Ninety percent of the time I assay applicant GA setups during onboarding, they're missing Goals. Goals acquaint GA what's important to your business and let you clue things like anatomy submissions or balloon starts, acceptance you to see, for example, how abounding bodies from Twitter absolutely convert.
The added acumen Google Analytics is so able is that already you set up Goals, you can actualize Multi-Channel Funnels to appearance which interactions (based on channel, parameter, etc.) advance to conversions.
Here's what a Multi-Channel Carry address looks like:
You can see that Absolute cartage assisted a lot of conversions (expected), but if we attending a akin deeper, it shows that Organic Search, Paid Search, and added channels additionally assisted conversions.
As I mentioned, a customer's aisle to acquirement is not a beeline line. What this tells us is that—of all the conversions during this time—prospects affianced above these channels best often.
So, a anticipation ability have:
This gives is a clearer account of all the paths a anticipation took afore converting. You can allotment this abstracts by segments, parameters, device, location, landing folio etc.
This is a abundant befalling to accept what Absolute cartage agency and if there's a spillover aftereffect from added campaigns. Best marketers anathema Absolute cartage aback it doesn't appearance you area it came from or what acquired it. However, if you amalgamate Absolute cartage abstracts with GA Multi-Channel Carry reporting, you can see some insights.
For example, a alternating trend I've credible is an uptick in Absolute cartage aback Facebook Ads are running. A antecedent (which was accurate by a alternation analysis) accepted that Facebook Ads absolutely acicular Absolute traffic.
This could be because affairs who see ads on Facebook are added acceptable to go to a armpit anon or via an untagged URL, or that there were higher-than-reported conversions from Facebook Ads due to affair expiration.
This is what makes GA about-face paths so powerful. With business automation accoutrement or Salesforce, you cannot band in added abstracts because it's artlessly not available. But in GA, you can add added abstracts to articulation your access address and absolutely accept the user adventure against conversion.
The Top About-face Paths address shows you the arrangement of access interactions above-mentioned to conversion. Additionally, the Aisle Length address gives you an abstraction of, on average, how abounding engagements a anticipation has afore converting. (The acknowledgment may abruptness you.).
A third able apparatus in GA (though one that's not anon accompanying to attribution) is the Time Lag report. If you run a lot of retargeting ads (which you should be running), the Time Lag address shows you how continued it takes for addition to convert.
In one of my consulting engagements, a applicant ran bags of retargeting ads on affairs who had visited the armpit in the accomplished two days. However, attractive at the Time Lag report, we saw that 30% of bodies adapted 5 canicule afterwards advancing to the site. Changing the activity from a 2-day to a 3–7 day window added our remarketing ads' achievement by 25%.
Note: By default, the "look-back window" or "attribution window" in GA is 30 days, so GA will attending at a 30-day window to actualize the first-visit-to-conversion path.
A address assuming abounding allegation in Google Allegation 360's Archetypal Explorer.
At $150k per year, Google Analytics 360 doesn't accomplish faculty for best businesses. For those it does, however, it offers awfully bigger allegation modeling.
Google Allegation 360, the allegation arrangement aural Google Analytics 360, uses apparatus acquirements to actualize a custom allegation archetypal based on abstracts from all affiliated accounts: Google Ads, Google Affectation Network, Attack Manager, etc.
Attribution 360 additionally folds in offline data, like the appulse of television advertisements; allows you to upload absorb abstracts from non-Google accounts; and extends the look-back window above 90 days, added than three times accomplished the accepted in Google Analytics.
The Archetypal Allegory Apparatus compares three abeyant models to see how anniversary affects the appraisal of business channels. You can additionally actualize custom rules for allegation models, again reallocate business absorb to analysis the authority of the proposed model.
A allegory amid a Beeline allegation archetypal and one in which Paid Advertising receives added credit.
Google Allegation is a free, lightweight, but not-yet-released adaptation of Google Allegation 360. According to plans, it will affix abstracts from Google Analytics, Google Ads, and Attack Administrator accounts—without added tagging.
Google intends to aeon out the chargeless version, in part, to advice advertisers bigger accept the appulse of their ads (and, presumably, animate them to absorb added by assuming the role of contest like ad impressions in active conversions).
If you appetite to booty allegation a footfall added and accept the annual to do so (about $25–40K annually), you can add Full Circle Insights or Bizible to your absolute apartment of tools.
Bizible adds a band of added advertisement and custom altar into your Salesforce data. But agenda that Bizible is congenital on top of Salesforce campaigns, so if you don't accept Salesforce or are not application Salesforce Campaigns, again Bizible isn't for you.
Bizible creates touchpoints for anniversary Salesforce attack and maps them forth the allegation adventure (First Touch, Befalling Creation, etc.). You can actualize altered models or alike your own archetypal (with higher-tiered plans).
Bizible shines with its built-in Google Ads integration, which pulls in bulk and acquirement abstracts from Salesforce to accord you a accurate return-on-spend visualization:
You can additionally set up analogous rules to add UTM ambit to custom touchpoints (like campaigns that about-face leads into marketing-qualified leads). Aback all this is built-in to Salesforce, you can actualize dashboards and letters based on campaign/channels to barometer achievement accurately.
However, Bizible is an activity tool—not every business needs it to actualize a anatomic allegation model. As with any system, accomplish abiding that the abstracts inputs are clean, or you'll end up with a "garbage in, debris out" scenario.
Also, Bizible lacks built-in Facebook Ads integration. Facebook has been a able access in a lot of B2B consulting appointment I've done, so, for now, you'll accept to add the costs and rules manually.
I mentioned allegation windows briefly. What are they? Allegation windows are the timeframes in which, if a about-face occurs, the acclaim will be accustomed to the channel(s) involved.
For Google Analytics, it's the timeframe (30 days) in which Google Analytics traces aback to the Aboriginal Touch from the date of conversion.
To accept allegation windows, let's attending at a Facebook Campaign. If a prospect:
Facebook will almanac it as a about-face in the Facebook Dashboard and optimize about the event.
Let's breach it bottomward a little more: If a anticipation clicks on an ad and again converts anytime in the aing 30 days, Facebook will almanac it as a conversion. Why? Because Facebook afflicted the about-face (and because Facebook, as a platform, has an absorption in demography acclaim for that event).
You can adapt allegation windows for Facebook Ads, Google Ads, Adroll, and added paid media channels, but this is why Facebook generally shows one cardinal for conversions but your abstracts shows another—the allegation windows amid your two platforms don't align.
Another acumen is the aberration amid view-through conversions (VTC) and click-through conversions (CTC). Best ad platforms calculation bodies who saw (VTC) or clicked (CTC) an ad aural a assertive timeframe as converters. Adroll break it down, but some don't—keep that in apperception aback you're advertence paid media absorb aback to activity revenue.
Start somewhere. Anywhere. If you aren't appropriately tagging and capturing UTM or added parameters, alpha there:
Establish a distinct antecedent of accuracy for your data. Best of my audience ask why a cardinal in one apparatus doesn't bout another. There are a lot of reasons; altered systems admeasurement things differently.
One archetype is Facebook conversions against affairs created. Addition is how Hubspot measures website cartage against GA's approach. (GA doesn't clarify for centralized Hubspot pages and previews.)
If you're activity to address new leads from amusing ads via your CRM, avoid the Facebook letters (but be acquainted that some Absolute cartage ability be Facebook-influenced).
Accept the banned so that you don't absorb your time aggravating to acquisition the appropriate abstracts but instead absorb it acquisition insights and authoritative decisions.
It's accessible to get absent in the details—but it's never annual it.
Most importantly, bethink that a prospect's adventure from aggregation to advantageous chump isn't linear. Plenty of "assist" and "influence" channels don't get captured by tracking codes.
Branded chase is a archetypal example. If a acceleration in branded chase correlates with a business campaign, there's a aerial anticipation that you're breeding a lot of chat of aperture and, as a result, branded search. If you attending at attack after-effects in isolation, you may anticipate it underperformed.
Increasingly, as marketers, we've become "data-obsessed," but sometimes we lose afterimage of the big picture. Abstracts and tracking are absurd afterwards context, and not every activity can be measured—no allegation archetypal is perfect.
If you're not currently aing business absorb with results, alpha somewhere. You don't charge enterprise-level tools. Google Analytics is a abundant abode to alpha and accomplish a case to your alignment for how business drives bottom-line results.
Alternatively, you may already be accomplishing it but apperceive you accept dark spots—every aggregation does. Acquisition out what you don't know. Aloof don't balloon to advance the amount of what you do know.

Limberlost Brewing Company is slated for a summer 2019 opening. Please see our Facebook page for more up to date news.
Limberlost Brewing Company is slated for a summer 2019 opening. Please see our Facebook page for more up to date news.
I would like to apologize to our guests, but we're not open yet. We have been approved by the city, county, and are currently waiting to hear back from the State of Montana in regards to our permitting. From there, we begin construction and begin the journey of Federal permitting.
Sorry, but when you open a brewery you have 3 sides to the triangle (right, fast, and cheap)…you only get 2 sides…we're taking the right and cheap approach, it's just taking a little longer than we'd like.
In the end, we can assure you that we will be unlike anything you've ever experienced product and atmosphere wise.
Back a few months ago we were in Spokane and we stumbled upon a few new grains we'd never seen before. Included in this batch was a Black Winter Wheat, Black Barley #32 and a Ruby Red Winter Wheat. (I wish I would've taken some picture visual effects). Anyways, we decided to buy 10lbs of each and hold onto them for a rainy day project.
That rainy day project happened upon us about a month ago. I was driving on Highway 200 through Dixon where a flock of red wing black birds flew in front of my truck. So, why not mix the red and black wheat grains together to brew a "red-winged black" beer?
The final result ended up being a beer with the sheen of motor oil. A dark black hue with a strange red reflective quality.
We present:
Red-Winged Black Ale-6%-A robust, dark ale brewed with black and red malts. This beer is very malty, but very well balanced. Lightly hopped with Saaz, Centennial, and Chinook hops.
Named for this fellow:
This beer has a lot of potential to be a great base for some other dark ales in the future.
Next up…
Autumn Wind Golden Ale-4%-A lightly malted Golden Ale brewed with Pearle hops. There isn't much to say about this beer but we wanted to brew something that reminded us of fall here in Montana. The wind is light and crisp, the leaves of the aspen and larch turn a light yellow. This beer embodies the comparison; light and crisp.
Back after a little hiatus with part 3.
Over the summer, we had the chance to experiment with some unique recipes. The most unique of them all and something we were super proud of, was the ability to add candy and cereal, YES, candy and cereal to our brews. We're hoping that these recipes and future recipes take us to the top of the Montana brewery experience in quality and originality. We believe we already brew great beer, it's up to the rest of the state to experience Limberlost…when we're open…
First up to bat…
Saturday Morning Breakfast IPA-6%-A light bodies IPA brewed with 2-row, Carapils, and Munich malts. Lightly hopped with Mt.Hood, Citra and Belma hops to give it a sweet, fruity back end. SMB has a very, very light sweet taste to match the balanced fruit taste that sits so gently on your tongue. Who would've ever thought you could dry hop with cereal?
It may seem like an odd ensemble, but if you want to be the best, you have to brew the best.
Swedish Bull/Cut Throat/Brown/Rainbow Trout-4%-A super light wheat beer infused with Swedish Fish Candies…how do you ask, maybe more so…WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU DO THIS!? Well, we had a hankering to try something a little different. We bought 5 lbs of Swedish Fish and added it to the boil. We also used pectin to dissolve out the sugars. It's unique, but it could use a little more pep next time around. It ended up tasting like a Cherry Wheat, better luck next time.
Another 5lbs never hurt anyone!!!
Well, as promised, we have more beers to write about. We'll pull a couple of tricks from out of our sleeves and see what tasty brews await us around the corner.
Aaaaannnnnd for our first beer we'll take a look at our…
4 Lakes Trail Ale-5% alcohol percentage-A Montana Style Pale Ale; beautifully balanced hop to malt ratio. 2 row malts, caramel, and Munich malts make this pale ale caramel to the taste with a hint of Centennial and Mt.Hood hops. This will be one of our 4 staple brews in the tap room.
We named this tasty pale ale after the infamous, amazing trail system that lays 5 miles north of Thompson Falls, Montana. After hiking in the back country, it's nice to have a Trail Ale.
All Summer Long Rhubarb Australian Sparkling Ale-4%-A wonderfully light, well balanced rhubarb wheat. This wheat beer is seriously the most perfectly brewed and amazing tasting summer beer we've ever brewed or tasted. We baked the rhubarb and added it to the mash and added fresh rhubarb to the dry hop for 2 weeks. There is a very small addition of Australian Summer Hops added to the back end to naturalize the bitterness from the rhubarb. We add ice cubes to our glasses of All Summer Long because it's just that perfect on a hot summer's day, hence the name.
Australian Sparking Ales are generally lighter in color and have an alcohol percentage from 4-5.5%. Sparkling Ales are what we call "wheat ales", but they generally use Australian hop varieties, which is what we did.
If you see us out and about in Sanders County and want to try one, let us know. Cheers
Here in our name dropping section, we're going to be talking about our beer names and styles. We're going to buck the trend of going light to dark (as you would in traditionally try them) and mix it up a little bit.
Up to bat first is…
Frost Bite Hot Chocolate Stout-6% alcohol percentage-A traditional stout with chocolate, marshmallows, and vanilla.
Last winter after splitting wood, we were lamenting how we would love to have some hot chocolate to quench our thirst. The conversation went a step further when I dumped some of my hot chocolate into another stout we had done. The mix wasn't exactly ideal, but it opened up a whole new world of ideas.
My brew partner (my wife) did some research in one of her 1950's Pennsylvania Dutch Cookbooks and stumbled upon an amazing recipe for hot chocolate. This recipe (which I will NOT be sharing) had a few twists in it which we thought would make for an awesome beer. So, after much deliberation and small batch testing, we came up with winter stout.
Why Frost Bite? Well, after being outside cutting wood, skiing, snow shoeing, or snowmobiling…it's a nice beer to sip on by a fire to melt away the frost from your bones.
Friends in Low Places IPA-6 % alcohol-A Rocky Mountain Style IPA; more malt heavy and lightly hopped.
We tend to make more Pacific Northwest IPA styles which are generally very hop and flavor forward. We decided to try our hand at the Rocky Mountain IPA style which like we said before, is malt heavy. The beer uses more 2 row and caramel malts (which give it a more maltier, caramel like flavor. It's lighly hopped with Mt.Hood and other neutral hops. It's very drinkable and very tasty.
The name comes from almost everyone's country song by Mr. Garth Brooks. We want every to feel welcome at Limberlost Brewing Company and we want everyone to know you got Friends in Low Places (literally) when you come out to our brewery.
"The beer chases my blues away/but, I'll be OK/hey, I'm not big on social graces/guess I'll slip on down to the oasis/I got friends, in low places".
Sounds about right.
Enjoy and catch us next time for the next round of "Name Dropping". Cheers and drink Limberlost!
It's been quite quiet on the adventure and action part of the brewery.
We've recently acquired our first round of permitting and we're waiting on a little more money and licenses from the State and the Federal TTB.
We decided to move back our opening date to raise more money (to do a little bit more) and obviously, with no permits, you can't move forward.
Check back in time and hopefully by the first week of July we'll have some more answers.
Cheers and thanks for the support,
Zach Whipple-Kilmer

Grouping together all of Eurasia was a smoothly palmed card that let any advance among the Romans, Babylonians, Hindus, or Chinese to count for all of them. Apparently lots of people hammered Diamond on this point as he put an afterword into the paperback edition to discuss it. His explanation is the "Optimum Fragmentation Theorem." To achieve a major advance you need groups with enough resources to develop it and the more groups you have the better the odds of someone inventing it. So China was inevitably unified because of its geography, Europe was broken into several big chunks, and India was split into so many small princedoms that none of them had the strength to go cross the oceans.
I don't buy it. Nonzero has a much simpler explanation--the folks on top suppress inventions to protect their own social status, unless outside threats force them to keep up in the arms race. China's government wanted stasis because they had few outside threats, so the ocean-going fleets were abandoned and then outlawed. India had many local autocrats all protecting a caste system that kept people from moving up from their own efforts. European leaders would have done the same except they were willing to weaken their own position to win a war against other powers, particularly the islamic empire. So India's relative decline is a cost of maintaining the caste system and China's decline is a result of the mandarinate protecting its status in a similar way.
The worst part of Gun, Germs, and Steel's theory is that it has no useful prescriptive value. If everything happening today flows from how the dice came up 10,000 years ago there's no change in behavior that will change people's relative positions. The best we can do is tell Diamond's New Guinean friends "sorry, you got a bad deal" with either an indifferent shrug or a conscience-soothing aid package. But looking at the past couple of centuries shows it does matter what policies a group pursues. Argentina and South Korea have traded places in the economic rankings over the past 50 years, so prehistory can't be determining everything. The "optimum fragmentation" idea has a lovely sound, but I don't think it matches the data and with no suggestions on what degree of fragmentation is optimum it's not useful for anyone trying to make plans.
Nonzero's theory has definite prescriptions, even if they're traumatic for some ideologues. Incentives should be available for everyone to improve their social status by inventing new positive-sum interactions (which can be a technical invention, a new social practice, founding a business, etc.). The people in the top ranks of society should be prevented from keeping other people from moving up. Interactions with other groups should be encouraged. In short, capitalism, democracy, and free trade. This is anathama to anyone who favors a completely egalitarian society or considers human behaviors solely a product of their culture.
Nonzero accepts as a given that humans have a built-in drive to increase their social status (discussed in the author's other book) and society must be designed to take this into account. History shows that freer societies have prospered at the expense of rigid ones, which is good evidence for Nonzero's thesis. The increase in freedom continues today with little sign of stopping. If we win this this war we'll have sped it up considerably. This gives me a much more hopeful view of the future.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday will once again find itself wrestling with the balance between digital privacy and law enforcement — an uncomfortable yet increasingly common challenge for the justices. They'll hear an hour of arguments in Microsoft v. United States, a potentially momentous case involving emails that are stored on overseas servers.
The issue: If an American email provider stores your emails on a server that's located in another country, does it have to hand those emails over in response to a warrant from U.S. law enforcement?

Moscow [Russia], Jul 10 (ANI): The People's Democratic Republic of Korea (DPRK) has warned the United States of nuclear war, after it carried out live-fire bombing run near North Korea border. As per the Sputnik, in a North Korean Sunday, the DPRK accused the U.S. of engaging in military provocations which intend to initiate nuclear conflict in the region. "The Korean peninsula is the largest gunpowder area in the world with the highest risk of nuclear war, and is the largest hot spot in the world where there is always a risk of nuclear war," reads the DPRK editorial. "[Washington] is surely spreading into a new world war," the editorial further stated. It further said that Washington's move was just an attempt to distract from US President Donald Trump's serious crisis of power on Capitol Hill. After North Korea demonstrated a of what it claimed to be its first ICBM on July 4, the United Nations Security Council held an emergency meeting and deployed two B-18 strategic bombers to the region. The strategic bomber carrying out live-fire bombing runs at a South Korean training range, which was escorted by US, South Korean and Japanese fighter jets. (ANI)
