Did you know...?
The origins and early history of Rome are very uncertain. While there are quite specific accounts of Rome's origins and early history, these tend to be of a more mythological nature, and do not stand up as objective history when subjected to modern analysis.

Importing menus
Resolved gera3d
I am trying to figure out how to import menus into my wordpress site.
Here is an example of how far I have gotten trying to use another plugin:
Can this plug import menus and put all the links in the right spots? Any help with this would be appreciated.
Hi Gera,
I am afraid it is not possible to import menus using this plugin.
Can you give me any leads I can follow? Do you know of anything that does menu importing from a spreadsheet?
spreadsheet? How did you export it?
If it were a XML you can try normal WordPress importer.
- This reply was modified 2 years, 5 months ago by imemine.
We don't export. We build all the data manually and then import it into the site.
The problem with menus is that it links into the database in a bunch of different ways.
Well, this is all unrelated to the plugin, so maybe you should make a topic in the general section.
Anyway, I'd suggesting using https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/menu-exporter/ ( see the first topic in the review for the fixed version ) then export an XML. Instead of editing the CSV, edit the XML as you need and then use the normal WordPress importer.Plugin Author WP All Import
We have been getting this request for a while now. Would you mind sharing more detail about why you want to import menus, what your data looks like, how you would like the import to work, do you need to export menus as well, etc.
Thank you!
Thanks for getting back to me on this and helping me explore this idea.
We have a fairly complex set of menus we put together for each of our clients. Currently, we put all the menu items in a spreadsheet and them Manually build them based on what's laid out.
Most of the site is built in the spreadsheet then we have to build out menus manually and that just takes allot of time each week.
Here is how we lay them out currently:
They we just do copy paste. We want to lay them out like you see in the link I posted first.
being able to build the menu in a spreadsheet ahead of time would be awesome. As you can see in the link above we already know what all the page names and URLs are going to be ahead of time because we are importing it all together.
If this is something you are are interested in developing we would be really interested in buying it.Plugin Author WP All Import
Ok, so do the posts and pages already exist, or do you want to create them during the import?
Most of the time we would want to add menu when we import everything else. We can do it after though.
We currently use
This imports all our content other then menus.
- The topic 'Importing menus' is closed to new replies.

This philosophy broadens the view of authored materials to include not only the final performance of the music, but also draft and incomplete or unedited versions, inaccurate versions played by sight, adapted versions that are played in sections during rehearsal, unused recording takes and mistakes, incidental sounds from around performance, rehearsal and recording environments, even the sounds generated from travelling to and from the recording session - all of the music and sound resulting from situations, actions and incidents that occur as a direct result of the composition existing can be captured and potentially used to make more music. This approach maximises the amount of materials generated from a single musical composition, providing both an economical approach to theme and creation of a sound world, and a diverse, yet finite framework within which to explore possibilities and experiment. In terms of music production, it also functions as a device for the creation of original and authentic sound worlds for musical ideas to inhabit. This philosophy also acknowledges the collaborative nature of performance, and I will share examples from practice of experiments in human filtering, where intuitive responses from individuals form, inform and reform the creation of musical materials. The score is seen as the starting point of a creative process, the raw materials that are activated by people. In such cases the final recorded production offers a version of the work and a document of this process.

|Light? Object? or the objects of the light
'Light is all you can see.' Its true and boring. Kaleidoscope thinks, what if the world is as boring as the statement made above? There would have been only one thing, the light itself. If all are light then things we see are not the things themselves, rather lights or reflections of those things. What happens when light penetrates and comes out of the object? Doesn't it create different dimensions of objects?
A. The objects as reflected - the light of the object
B. The light as penetrates, hence,the objects of the light.
We can have dual selves of the object and also the dual selves of the objects and light itself.
Kaleidoscope finds that here lies the beginning of disintegrated reality. It is multiple, postmodern and based on interpretations of the object itself. The object in our perception is no longer the thing but a thing among several other seemingly related things. The way you interpret the way it is.
Enough, of the light, objectivity and thingification. What happens when you encounter such seemingly unrelated dimensions of things? Kaleidoscope gives it a thought.
For kaleidoscope its no longer the thing but a thing in a sense that there are multiple things that comes and occupies in mind and take you to the fairies.
So that he finds purple rain falling from a dark sky in his good old city when the sunlight comes through bougainvillea that grows each year caring nothing of the concrete jungel nearby. Kaleidoscope whispers to the forest nearby as the new foliage comes out after the fall. It is beginning to store stories of a multiple world as the new leaves allow sunlight to pass through. Just like the innocence that allows everything to penetrated, never judging or demanding a perspective.
The objects of the light drags kaleidoscope to travel through a warehouse of mesmerising overlapping narratives. Sometimes it shows rainbow in the spider web, purple rain in the bougainvillea, snowstorms in the grasslands and a whole outer space in the new leaves.
The light that comes and makes you discover the fairies surrounding you, always inviting you to a parallel world waiting for you to discover.

.@ShibauraHouse の子供たちのワークショップのために、この種爆弾のレシピを書きました。五種類の種を使いました。人と動物の食べられる植物を選んで、背の高い花は見えやすいので選びました。子供が粘土と土と種を混ぜて、汚れるときが楽しかったようです。
This is the handout I made for the Shibaura House seed bomb workshop for kids. The recipe is 5 parts powdered clay, 2 parts soil, 1 part seed, and 1 part water. Thinking about the season, late spring, just before rainy season, I chose clover, soba, sunflower, hollyhocks, and watermelon.
The seed selection also responded to the theme of "eating and seeing green." I wanted to provide food for animals as well as people, as well as flowers that are tall and easy to see. The soba and clover seeds are the least expensive and served as the seed "base."
Corrected: Below are photos from the event, taken by Naomi Muto and written up by Shirakuma Ikuko in Japanese. It's funny that my instructions were to make balls (dango), but the kids enjoyed making shapes like stars, bows, donuts, Jupiter, and even a black hole.
In the afternoon, the adults who attended the kick-off talk event also participated in vegetable planting on the 4th floor. Shibaura House is tweeting the growth of their new garden!

The first of six U.S. troops killed by a Taliban suicide bomber was identified Tuesday as a 45-year-old New York City police detective who was serving as a technical sergeant in the Air National Guard.
NYPD Commissioner William Bratton said that Joseph Lemm, 45, who was married with three children, was a 15-year veteran of the NYPD who had received the gold shield of a detective in January 2014 and was assigned to the Bronx Warrant Squad.
"Detective Joseph Lemm epitomized the selflessness we can only strive for -- putting his country and city first," Bratton said in a statement. "Tonight, we grieve and we remember this selfless public servant who dedicated his life to protecting others."
Lemm was on his second tour with the Air National Guard in Afghanistan. He also had deployed to Iraq. Lemm was the third member of the NYPD to be killed in Iraq or Afghanistan, an NYPD spokeswoman said.
Members of the NYPD and other police departments around the country have joined the Guard and Reserves in significant numbers since the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. The spokeswoman said that 130 members of the department currently are deployed and more than 4,200 are veterans.
Field commanders in Iraq and Afghanistan have frequently called on NYPD members and Guard and Reserve troops from other police departments to train local police in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Lemm and five other service members were killed Monday while on foot patrol near the Bagram airbase north of Kabul when a Taliban suicide bomber on a motorcycle detonated explosives next to the patrol, U.S. military officials said.
Two other U.S. troops and an Afghan interpreter were wounded in the attack. The military was withholding the identities of the other five fatalities until their families could be notified.
"Our heartfelt sympathies go out to the families and friends of those affected in this tragic incident, especially during this holiday season," Army Brig. Gen. William Shoffner, a spokesman for NATO's Resolute Support mission in Kabul, said in a statement.
Defense Secretary Ashton Carter called the attack "a painful reminder of the dangers our troops face every day in Afghanistan" against a resurgent Taliban and the new threat from the growing presence of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, in southeastern Afghanistan.
President Barack Obama was on vacation in Hawaii, where the White House issued a statement condemning the "cowardly attack" while pledging that the U.S. would "remain committed to supporting the Afghan people and their government."
The attack near the largest U.S. facility in Afghanistan was the deadliest on foreign troops or civilians in four months. On Aug. 22, three American contractors were killed in a suicide attack in Kabul.
On Aug. 7 and 8, Kabul was the scene of three insurgent attacks within 24 hours that left at least 35 people dead. One of the attacks, on a U.S. special operations forces base outside Kabul, killed one U.S soldier and eight Afghan civilian contractors.
A total of 22 U.S. troops, two from Britain and three from other countries have died in Afghanistan this year, according to the website icasualties.org. Ten of the American fatalities this year were the result of hostile activity, and another 68 were wounded, according to the Washington Post.
Currently, there are about 9,800 U.S. troops in Afghanistan serving in a NATO mission known as "Resolute Support" to train, advise and assist Afghan military forces, with about 5,500 of them are stationed at Bagram. Obama has pledged to keep at least 5,500 U.S. troops in Afghanistan through 2016 and keep support for the Afghan government at about $4.1 billion.
The attack near Bagram came as the Taliban made gains in southwestern Helmand province, threatening the provincial capital of Lashkar Gah. On Monday, Afghan Defense Ministry spokesman Dawlat Waziri said Afghan Army commandos and special forces had arrived in Helmand's Sangin district to begin a counter-offensive.
During a visit to Afghanistan last week by Defense Secretary Carter, Army Gen. John Campbell, the U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan, noted that he no longer used the term "fighting season" which previously was used to descrive the spring and summer months in Afghanistan.
"We just went through a very, very tough fighting season," Campbell said, and then added that "We don't even talk in terms of fighting seasons anymore because it's kind of continuous fighting."

Thursday morning a charter bus overturned on an interstate highway in Los Angeles County. According to Ed Jacobs, California Highway Patrol Officer, the bus was headed eastbound but ended up on its side after swerving to avoid hitting another vehicle. The accident knocked out the front windows, injured at least 46 people and closed at least three lanes causing a massive traffic jam.
The accident occurred on Interstate 210 near Interstate 605 close to Duarte city; a suburb in the county of Los Angeles . This area is just about 20 miles northeast of the downtown section of Los Angeles.
Medic aircraft landed on the highway in order to transport people to local hospitals. There were also many emergency workers on the side of the highway tending to people. It appears that none of the injuries were life-threatening; they were all mild to moderate.
An 86-year-old man was taken to Pasadena's Huntington Hospital with fractured ribs and chest injuries. Two other patients were taken there as well.
A total of 20 patients were taken to three different hospitals within the Citrus Valley Health Partners system.
After about an hour, highway patrol had reopened the west bound lanes. This route is known for tourist buses headed from the San Gabriel Valley to desert casinos and Las Vegas.
More information is forthcoming. Currently no lives were lost and no injuries were life-threatening.

Gentlemen if you haven't been informed by now upon reaching manhood as determined by whatever you are issued a set of man cards. You start each year with five and can earn no more. Lose them as you will as the year goes on. (Loss of said man cards is determined by the rules set forth in the bro code as determined at the yearly men's council.)
In a moment of weakness today I had to surrender one of my own man cards because I willingly drank a pumpkin spiced latte from dunkin. I am still hanging my head in shame but it was worth it.
In the event that you do have children all man cards are permanently suspended until the youngest is 18 years of age. As a parent it is understand that you inevitably have to do some unmanly things for sake of your children and there's sense in besmirching ones record unnecessarily.

Metal Roof Ridge Caps – This is because the prices of metal roofing are regarded as more practical in the long term. Sheet metal roofs are mostly used in residential homes, although a lot of industrial and commercial edifices are considering utilizing them too. Metal roofing can also be deemed as the ideal replacement for any present roofs, should you want to renovate your house at some point or another. Metal roofing comes in various types and forms. Its composition may also change also, depending upon the company's specifics.
The main selling point of metal roofing would be its durability. While other roof materials, such as asphalt shingle may endure for a mean of 15 years only, metal roofs have the capability to withstand the weather anywhere from 50 years and above. If longevity is of utmost importance to you as a homeowner, then metal roofing would be the perfect the reply to your needs. Metal roof prices are varied. And much of this depends upon the specific composition of the metal, the installation expenses, and of course, that the quality of the materials used. And because metal roofs come in various shapes, colors, and styles also, this may also be a factor in terms of price.
install metal roof ridge
Another good point about metal roofing would be the fact that its design can be patterned to resemble the more sophisticated styles of roofs today. Some metallic sheets can be installed to look like that of a Spanish tile, a wooden shake, or a Vermont slate, among many more. And because a metallic roof comes in a variety of colors, it is possible to choose the perfect color to match your preference. A metal sheet roof material is usually priced per square foot. While it is a fact that the price may vary greatly from 1 reseller to another, there are types which sell for as low as $1.50 per square foot. The costliest metal roof is presently priced at approximately $6 for every square foot.
ridge cap straight vented
Metal roof prices usually include all that is needed to set up the whole system. Contained in the bundle are the panels, caps, fastening clips, and all the trims and flashings. But then again, some manufacturers do not add these to the total price. And so to be sure, try to ask all about it before making a purchase. Although the cost of installation isn't included in the prices mentioned previously, metal roofing nevertheless is the better choice in the end. The installation of other roof system costs money too, so in essence, you are bound to pay for that anyhow. Like the metal roofing itself, the cost of installing a metal roofing system may also change depending upon the expertise of the people who can do the job. And more frequently than not, the more seasoned metal roofing installers charge higher than people that are just starting to earn a name in the industry.
Once you truly look at it, the price of metal roofing is somehow more expensive than that of the regular asphalt shingle roofs accessible today. And that would mean that you are bound to devote the same amount as you did the first time you installed it come the time that it maxes out its own lifespan. Metal roofing lasts more than asphalt roof and other roof types. It is more durable and may even look better than its counterparts. If you opt to use metal to your roof system, then you will have peace of mind that your roof will not require renovation anytime soon. Because of this, your total cost in time, money, and effort will really come out ower through the years.

Czech ex-minister Rath faces hearing over box of cash
A former Czech health minister arrested for suspected corruption risks losing his parliamentary immunity after a special meeting of MPs on Tuesday.
David Rath is expected to attend the hearing, escorted by police.
Mr Rath has resigned as Central Bohemia governor and left the opposition Social Democrat party (CSSD).
A week ago police detained Mr Rath as he was carrying a wine box containing 7m koruna (£224,000). He is accused of diverting money from an EU project.
The BBC's Rob Cameron in Prague says the affair has caused a political storm in the Czech Republic, where Mr Rath has long been a prominent public figure.
Some see his political style as aggressive, our correspondent says, and in 2006 he was involved in a public punch-up with a rival politician, Miroslav Macek.
Mr Rath and seven other people were arrested last week over alleged bribery and embezzlement of EU structural funds allocated to renovate a hospital and castle in Bohemia.
Mr Rath has denied any wrongdoing and reportedly expressed surprise that there was money inside the wine box.
During the police operation a further 30m koruna was found hidden under the floorboards of his house, reports say.
In Czech law an MP caught red-handed can be arrested and stripped of his or her parliamentary immunity. Mr Rath is the first MP to be held in prison since 1998 in the Czech Republic, Reuters news agency reports.

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO LUKE - Chapter 15 - Verse 24
Verse 24. Was dead. This is capable of two significations:
1st. I supposed that he was dead, but I know now that he is alive.
2nd. He was dead to virtue—he was sunk in pleasure and vice. The word is not unfrequently thus used. See 1 Ti 5:6; Mt 8:22; Ro 6:13.
Hence to be restored to virtue is said to be restored to life, Ro 6:13; Re 3:1; Eph 2:1.
It is probable that this latter is the meaning here. See Lu 15:31.
Was lost. Had wandered away from home, and we knew not where he was.
{p} "For" Lu 15:32 {q} "was dead" Eph 2:1; 5:14; Re 3:1
{r} "is alive again" Ro 6:11,13 {s} "was lost" Eze 34:4,16; Lu 19:10

On the market for an iPhone? Here's a breakdown of all the currently shipping iPhones from Apple.
Tim Cook Expresses Thoughts on Equality in Auburn University Award Speech
Throughout his remarks, Cook highlighted his overall support for the progression of human equality in the United States and throughout the world. The CEO cited a section from the United Nations preamble emphasizing equality, and talked about finding a company in Apple that "deeply believed in advancing humanity through its products and through the equality of all of its employees."
Now, much has changed since my early days at Apple, but these values, which are the very heart of our company, remain the same. These values guide us to make our products accessible for everyone...people with disabilities often find themselves in a struggle to have their human dignity acknowledged; they're frequently left in the shadows of technological advancements that are a source of empowerment and attainment for others. But Apple's engineers pushed back against this unacceptable reality; they go to extraordinary lengths to make our products accessible to people with various disabilities from blindness and deafness, to various muscular disorders.Cook also discussed his and Apple's support for the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which the CEO also championed in an op-ed written for The Wall Street Journal last month:
These values have also recently guided us to support legislation that demands equality and non-discrimination for all employees, regardless of how they love. This legislation, known as the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. I have long believed in this, and Apple has implemented protections for employees, even when the laws did not. Now is the time to write these principles of basic human dignity into the book of law.Cook originally graduated from Auburn University in 1982 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Engineering. He then joined Apple in 1998, and was named CEO of the company on August 24, 2011 after late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs resigned from the position.

"...advancing humanity". Haha. God bless America. He works for a company that makes computers...
Yes, because technology has never helped to advance humanity. :rolleyes:
First, you need to set up a working mobile phone network. I doubt there's any reception in the middle of the savanna.
And don't forget electricity for charging.
So water is not available yet the infrastructure to support use of a mobile phone is? Haha thanks for the laugh this morning.
Just curious, how are these people that have no water (and probably don't know where their next meal is going to come from) able to afford a mobile phone? And where do they to charge the phone when the battery dies. If they don't have water or food they most likely don't have electricity either.
But it saddens me somewhat to read a number of responses that make the seriously flawed assumption that sub-Saharan Africa is this big mass of savannah with a bunch of children that have no water and food in it.
Yes, there have been, and continue to periodically be, humanitarian crises in Africa that result in people starving or dying form lack of water. But for the vast majority of the tens of millions of people who live in relative poverty in Africa now, the issue is considerably more complex than the stereotypical "starving kid on the TV commercial."
The reality is that, funny enough, a lot of people in Africa do have cell phones. They don't have electricity at their home, or running water, but they have a cheap mobile phone, because that's how you get in touch with somebody else. How do you charge it? You pay the guy in town who has a mobile charging business a few shillings to plug it in and charge it.
Or, more recently--and this is where the organization I work for has been involved--you buy a solar-charged LED lamp of some sort to replace the candle or kerosene lamp you previously used to light your house or shop, and it happens to have a little mobile charging port on it.
In many towns it has been, for quite some time, popular to buy a solar panel, a car battery, and a small TV so you can watch soccer on TV. Necessary? Of course not. But just because they're poor doesn't mean they don't want to watch sports.
See, the reality is that most people in Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, etc, don't just sit around on the street waiting to starve. They have jobs, and children, and families. They make only the equivalent of a couple dollars a day in most cases, and many of them have been spending a substantial fraction of that on kerosene to burn in lamps so they can see to work at night, or so their kids can do their homework in hopes of getting a better education.
Giving those people the opportunity to buy--not giving them, but selling them--a comparatively high-tech solar panel hooked to a rechargeable battery and white LED lamp leapfrogs a couple of generations of technology, and bypasses the electric grid entirely. It is not in any way necessary, but it is currently enabling millions of people to improve their quality of life.
That's just an example. A MacBook Pro is a long way from a $20 LED lamp, but it's a simple example of how comparatively advanced technology can and does make a real quality of life difference for the very poor. More importantly, though, it's worth keeping in mind that the kid starving in the street on the commercial on late night TV is not really representative of the majority of the population of Africa--they are still very poor, but they're not in crisis.
(And by the way, I'm not just making this up based on conjecture or fantasy; the organization I work for sends people to these countries regularly for weeks at a time to spend time in rural villages doing surveys, in addition to large-scale national studies.)
"...advancing humanity". Haha. God bless America. He works for a company that makes computers...
are you serious?
In the places still needing charity, no it hasn't. You think an African child dying from lack of water needs a MacBook Pro?Is there a way we can donate to those suffering from logical fallacies in Japan?
In the places still needing charity, no it hasn't. You think an African child dying from lack of water needs a MacBook Pro?
Of course not, they need water. And technology has helped there enormously, both directly in producing better pumps and in finding hidden reservoirs, but also in making people in he developed world aware of the problems and inciting them to help financially.
I understand that's not what you were trying to argue, and I agree that, notwithstanding the education programmes that exist based around iPads in some developing parts of the world, Apple technology does not tend to assist directly those who are starving or dying of thirst. But to argue in general terms that technology per se hasn't helped the developing world is wrong.
In the places still needing charity, no it hasn't. You think an African child dying from lack of water needs a MacBook Pro?
As Bill Gates said last month:
The world is not flat and PCs are not, in the hierarchy of human needs, in the first five rungs.
I'd be more interested if he didn't say something so predictable. Income inequality is a greater issue than non-discrimination policies are for wealthy engineers. It's not that you should wait to do the latter before fixing the former. It's that fixing the latter is easy, and already done at Apple. It should make Apple a more competitive company against its competitors.
I'm sure he has personal reasons for his convictions and I do for mine as well. I have every reason to believe I was fired as an Apple contractor because of a disability I have. Because I was a contractor and not employee, Apple did not have to pay minimum wage, did not pay its share of Social Security tax, I had to pay for my own training (which came from Apple), etc. Apple treated me in every respect as an employee, and it made damn sure that its customers were under the impression I was an employee. I would have lost my job to say otherwise. Apple could fire me without giving a stated reason. There is no law in my state that an employer must give a reason for termination, and Apple didn't give one.
So, how would an employee of Apple's ever even know if they were fired for being gay? I called every number I could find at Apple to try to find out why I was fired. And I finally reached the person who knew. I introduced myself and his reply was, "I am not at liberty to discuss that information." He hung up the phone before I could respond.
Apple is a company that does what it wants to do. If part of that is having a certain culture of equanimity within its corporate employees, then it does that. But Apple fights being beholden to the spirit of the law and to the law at all. You see this with its financial practices, including Steve Jobs backdating stock options or funneling its money through Ireland.
Again, it's not that I disagree with Tim Cook. It's that he thinks he's done something great when he hasn't, or that he at the least wants other people to think so.
Yes, because technology has never helped to advance humanity. :rolleyes:In the places still needing charity, no it hasn't. You think an African child dying from lack of water needs a MacBook Pro?
I liked it better when Jobs, for the most part, didn't get involved in politics. Sorry Tim but I don't need to have compassion or provide equality to people who come to hew illegally, get government services but don't pay taxes, and bring crime and drugs with them. I'm all for reasonable legal immigration once a fence is built, we stop providing incentives for people to cross the border illegally and Mexico gets its house in order.[COLOR="#808080"]
Then, ask your government to fix their damn country first. If there are illegals in the USA, it is because a lot of people hire them.
It is the most hypocritical thing I have heard in a while!
Why do you think illegal immigration is not an issue here in Canada? it is much more difficult to find someone who will hire you without papers.
Fix you country first, and you won't even need a fence.
Bigotry and ignorance are closely related.

The words of the Elijah of Vilna [by his Hebrew acronym Gra ("HaGaon Rabbenu Eliyahu")] about the first verses in this week's Haftarah are quite surprising: "Is not Esau a brother to Jacob, and I have loved Jacob? But as to Esau I have hatred." [Malachi 1:2-3]. Just at this place, where the passage emphasizes the differences between Israel and ... Read More »
The Beginning, the Middle, and the End
Why did our tradition choose the Song of David (Samuel II 22:1-51) as the Haftarah of the Torah portion of Ha'azinu, which contains the epic exalted poem written by Moses? For the portion of Beshalach, which includes the epic poem of the Children of Israel at the Red Sea celebrating the victory over the Egyptian army, the Song of Deborah ... Read More »
Don't Be Afraid
What is the meaning of the double consolation in the opening verse of the Haftarah, "Be consoled, be consoled, My nation" [Isaiah 40:1]? It is true that Zion "has been given double for all her sins" [40:2], and therefore it is due for double consolation. But what does this mean? It would seem that the answer to this question can ...

Building an Effective Marketing Engine. Content is King!
Marketing and selling to customers used to be a very straightforward process. However the traditional marketing funnel is now defunct.
Business can't rely on interacting with the customer at the end of the cycle. The new 'E' customer is information rich and can choose what they think is valuable from social sites, forums or other trusted sources. Upto 60% of B2B customer buying decisions are already highly influenced before engagement with a Sales team. Therefore as Marketeers' we need to adapt to this change. The marketing funnel has evolved and is no longer a straight line.
Each journey is unique and content needs to be relevant to that journey and available in media of a customer's choice. Prospective customers consume content in their own way, and with rich communication channels now including video, mobile and social the right content at the right time has never been so important.
In our web-driven world creating content that customers actively seek out to consume creates an opportunity for brands. A brand, positioning themselves as a thought leader, changes the traditional sales approach of 'look how amazing we are' to 'look how helpful we are' and builds trust with the consumer.
Understanding what is of 'value' and then delivering this content across multiple channels is what lies at the heart of building an effective marketing engine.
Silver exists to communicate your brand truth with inspiring ideas, and compelling stories. We will help you to create the belief.
Darren Clarke is Ace Account Director at Silver Agency. He has been creating engaging content for more than fifteen years.

Subscribing into a overall health and fitness blog might be certainly one of the ideal items it is possible to do to assist you in learning exactly what is occurring inside the health entire world. There are several in existence in your case to choose from. Net conditioning is now much more than just people telling you to invest in their courses. There's now the best way to films, educational message boards, cost-free health and fitness packages and much more in existence to suit your needs to peruse with your quest for knowledge.
Amongst the best strategies to get this Web exercise info is always to join an rss feed from the overall health and conditioning weblog. A lot of of the far better websites will allow you to sign on with the rss reader of your alternative and see whats new around the web-site. It is possible to examine it after you make sure you plus the ideal section is you don't really have to go clicking all-around to search out it. You basically look for a few web pages that you simply like and have them send out their rss feeds to you. You can get their wellness and health blog anytime and where ever you'd like.
An additional great way to obtain the information sent immediately to you should be to sign up for a wellbeing and exercise publication. Signing up for a internet sites newsletter is generally an exceedingly straightforward issue, all they will need is your title and e-mail tackle. Then each and every 7 days or two they are going to deliver you an e-mail with what they consider is a few applicable information that you will appreciate.
Previously amongst the most significant knocks on newsletters was lots of men and women were being marketing their record to spammers. You although you had signed up for just a newsletter on exercise and all the unexpected you will get a lot of e-mail on how to prolong your manhood, or an e-mail telling you received five million euros. There happen to be some key improvements in Web law and much of the has stopped. I personally belong to about 8 or 9 newsletters and my spam folder isn't going to get any e-mails. That is a large change from a pair decades back.
The internet is really a great tool. As of late you will discover some superb strategies to obtain data straight sent to you personally through a wellbeing and health web site or e-newsletter. You can find a different day in age arising while in the fitness world, one that I connect with the web health revitalization. The brand new facts that is certainly coming out is both of those suitable and correct, quite a bit unique than the weak info that was scattered throughout only a couple of small decades in the past.

Sleepy Hollow Moloch Reference
Have y'all seen the new Sleepy Hollow series? Pretty good show. Those of you who follow theology as we do will notice the main nemesis of the series is lord Moloch!
The same god our "careless" leaders sacrifice an effigy of a child to the flames to "rid themselves of dull care" every July at the Bohemian Grove.
The interpretation in Sleepy Hollow is a horned beast but is also represented my various chimera hybrids of bulls and owls.

Matt Kovac, Executive Director of Food Industry Asia (FIA), was part of a panel discussion on "The Money: Business Practices and Sustainability" on 13 June, as part of the EAT Stockholm Food Forum 2016 in Stockholm, Sweden.
Among other topics, Mr Kovac spoke about nutrition literacy and the role played by sustainable public-private partnerships, like the Asia Roundtable on Food Innovation for Improved Nutrition (ARoFIIN), in tackling obesity and non-communicable diseases in the Asia region. Mr Kovac highlighted how, in two short years, ARoFIIN has been able to draw on resources from governments, academia, non-governmental organisations and industry in addressing challenges of obesity and undernutrition with a whole-of-society approach.

"All of this innovation starts from a single bar. In a sense, it's a bit of a trip to consider decades of culture-shifting, life-affirming sonic experimentation starting with such a seemingly rigid unit of measurement – how could structure be so infinitely mutable, so freeing?" – Meaghan Garvey, on Bars.
Exploring the concept further, with a hands-on approach to education and development, Native Instruments launched Native Sessions Bars; a global event series exploring underground rap, R&B, and grime. Having been hosted in Berlin, London, Paris, Tokyo, L.A., Toronto, and Mexico City, with performances, discussions, and workshops, the Native Sessions events featured some of the freshest, and most experimental names in the global scene.
Bars displayed a future-forward global overview of the genres, their defining methods, and their local imprints. Featuring Teddy Riley in L.A., Stwo in Paris, Steel Banglez in London, plus many, many more leading musicians, Bars boasted a mix of insightful talks, technical demonstrations, and candid performances from artists, producers and experts.
For those looking to further their understanding on the role of hip hop and grime in today's music scene, get production tips and tricks, and listen to interviews with the real movers and shakers from across the world, check out the Native Instruments overview of videos, photos, and editorial below.
Best tutorials
Showcasing various ways to make beats, tracks and melodies, leading product experts gave tutorials on how to best use MASCHINE in hip hop, and grime productions.
In Berlin, product specialist Boris Mezga ran a special tutorial on how to get your drums to really kick. Featuring tips and tricks on how to tune your drums, use parallel compression along with other techniques, Boris uses MASCHINE, and MASCHINE JAM, and shows how to combine everything in one standout performance.
For more tutorials check out this video on how to build your own drum kit with BATTERY and the 'Percussion Encyclopedia'.
You can also download these nine deadly hip hop weapons for free from the REAKTOR User Library, watch how to create hip hop kicks and basses with TRK-1 here, or check out this tutorial on how to make trap beats here.
The best track breakdowns
Throughout Bars, some of the best beatmakers joined us in showing how they produced select tracks from their catalogue. In Paris, Stwo showed how he approached the production of his 2017 hit "Neither do I", featuring famous rap and R&B singer Jeremih, which you can watch here. In London, Steel Banglez provided a detailed breakdown of the instrumental production 'No Words', by Dave featuring MoStack, which is available to watch here, while Swifta Beater shared his experiences making the hit JME track 'Man don't care', available here.
In addition, at Native Sessions Mexico City, we also filmed Adrian Be and Yoshi Beats from Finesse Records give a showcase on how they produced the track 'Abril' by Girl Ultra, which you can watch here.
One of the best breakdowns however, was caught in Paris, as beatmaker and product expert MKL provided an overview showing how he produced the French rap hit 'Paradise' for Lefa using MASCHINE and KOMPLETE KONTROL. Watch the video below, and remember to turn on the subtitles if French is not your first language.
In Berlin, Native Instruments brought together some of the best, local talent for a beatmaking challenge, called 'The Flip'. Each producer had 20 minutes to produce their own beat using at least three sounds from the sample pack provided. Watch below to see how these beatmakers fared under tight time constraints, using the latest techniques, updates, and effects in MASCHINE.
Best interviews
With a whole set of sit-downs, talks and conversations, Bars was full of the latest gossip and insights into the world of beatmaking. During the London edition of Native Sessions Bars, DJ and producer spoke about her music and beatmaking background, which you can read here, legendary grime rapper P Money sat down with The Grime Show's A.G, while Ms Banks discussed musical influences with DJ Target, both of which are available to watch below.
In Los Angeles, Frank Nitt, a.k.a. one half of legendary Detroit hip hop duo Frank-N-Dank, spoke to Jeff Weiss about his work alongside J Dilla, which is available to watch here. Speaking in Toronto, TRAKGIRL, Prezident Jeff, and LordQuest sat down with Detroit funk great, Amp Fiddler, and discussed production techniques, along with the most important issues facing the scene at the moment. You can read an overview of the interview here.

Native Instruments also caught up with German producer Figub Brazlevic in his Berlin studio to get the low-down on his beatmaking processes, which is available to watch here.
Best studio reports

In London, Native Instruments also caught up with grime legend Flowdan in his Archway studio to discuss the journey from MC to producer, why he started the imprint SpentShell, and how he uses MASCHINE to create his trademark sound.

How to Use the Arc Barrel
If you're like me, you sometimes buy small pieces of home workout equipment and immediately forget what you're supposed to do with them. Perhaps you bought an arc barrel at one time. Maybe it's sitting in a corner, or maybe your kid is using it as a step-stool to turn on lights. Now, you're wondering How do I use the arc barrel?
Maybe you've been thinking about getting an arc barrel, but you weren't sure if you'd really use it. This small piece of Pilates equipment is easy to use and enhances your Pilates mat workout. However, just like all pieces of equipment: It only works if you use it.
Here's information about how to create your own home arc barrel workouts with a video to explain several arc barrel exercises.
What Is the Arc Barrel
The arc barrel is a popular Pilates prop. Joseph Pilates created the arc barrel himself. While the exact dimensions may have changed through the years, the function of the prop remains the same.
Different manufacturers may have slightly different sized arc barrels. The amount of curve to the barrel will impact the amount of flexion or extension that is required from your spine. In turn, this curve also impacts the amount of spinal support you receive in some exercises. All of this contributes to how you feel while you're doing the exercises.
Despite the differences, the same exercises are usually done whether your barrel is from STOTT, Stamina, Balanced Body, or anyone else. My barrel is from STOTT. I chose this barrel because I was trained on it and because I like its amount of curve. For me, I feel a nice balance between challenge and support.
How to Use the Arc Barrel
When creating a home workout, it's important to choose exercises that use spinal flexion, spinal extension, spinal rotation, and side flexion.
Spinal flexion is very common in Pilates exercises. Any time your upper body moves toward your lower body (or vice versa) you are using spinal flexion. Examples on the arc barrel are Breathing, Bridge, Roll over, Scissors, and other similar exercises.
Spinal extension is normally found in Pilates exercises where you begin on your stomach. Although sometimes the prone exercises don't involve the spine (as with Heel squeezes or Single leg extension), many do. Look for spinal extension in mat exercises like Swan dive, Swimming, Breast stroke preps, One leg kick, and Double leg kick. Examples on the arc barrel are Breast stroke preps, Swan dive, Swimming, Grasshopper, and Spinal extension.
Spinal rotation is when your rib cage and pelvis are not facing the same direction. Think of the Pilates mat exercises Spinal rotation, Spine twist, Saw, and Obliques. Examples on the arc barrel are Rotation with port de bras, Obliques and Corkscrew. There is also some spinal rotation in Side breathing.
Side flexion is not common in Pilates, but it is still very important. Movements that bring your ribs closer to your hips (and vice versa) while still staying in the same plane are side flexion exercises. Mermaid is a great example of side flexion. On the arc barrel, side flexion is in Side breathing. In Pilates workouts, it is often a challenge to find side flexion exercises, so if you find one you like, try to find ways to incorporate it into your workout regularly.
Arc Barrel Video
Normally, I like to take time to write out exact directions for how to do Pilates exercises. However, in this case, I won't. The arc barrel manual is quite long so, if you're interested in information above and beyond what is in my video, here's an Amazon link to the STOTT PILATES arc barrel manual. When you order from this link, I earn a small commission.
In case this article has inspired a desire for an arc barrel, here's another Amazon link to a STOTT arc barrel.
What is your favorite exercise to do with the arc barrel? Let us know in the comments below.
Thank you for reading this article. If you enjoy the information supplied, please consider supporting this website!

Travelling further up into Labrador
It turns out that one can extend the Nordik Express adventure up into northern Labrador with the Northern Ranger. The ship travels from Happy-Valley/Goose Bay all the way up the coast to Nain. Other than the schedules page and some trip reports, there appear to be no sites dedicated to the route. This makes it all the more attractive!

Today was the 1st Annual Miles 4 MJ – 5K & 1 Mile Bunny Hop at Oak Ridge Elementery School in Harleysville, PA. Despite the cold temperatures and torrential rain 135 and a half runners showed up to RUN FOR A REASON. We ran for our friends and family living with NF. The rain could not dampen our spirits or extinguish our determination. We will find a cure! We will run tirelessly until we do!
The Pre-Race Festivities
My reason for running was not ONLY to help my friends the Whalens (who I now consider Family) but also to teach my young son Benjamin Franklin Mitchell the importance of helping others. When I laced up my beat up old Adidas Sambas I thought of the big picture. This world is only as good as we make it. As Mother Teresa said, "We can do no great things, only small things with great love." The thing is… when you add up all the little things they do become great things. Don't think you can't make a difference. Lace up your sneakers and do small things with great love!
The Easter Benny is Ready to RUN
As most of you may have realized I am just a wee bit obsessed with the Philadelphia Union. My favorite player is Sheanon Williams. As soon as Sheanon signed with the team I was won over by his hustle on the field. He gives 100% every match. He never quits on a ball. Regardless of if the team are up by 2 goals.. or down by 2 goals. He plays every minute with the same fire. As impressed as I've always been with Sheanon my favorite player I am even more impressed with Sheanon the man. He shows the same determination off the field when it comes to helping his friends and family. He never quits.
A Quick Word of Thanks From Sheanon Williams
Last but most DEFINITELY not least I would like to congratulate my beautiful Wife Rachel. Today my Wife finished her very first 5K. She had never run a day in her life, but when she found out there were people who needed her help she laced up her sneakers. Not only was she inspired herself she inspired ME and my SON. Benjamin and I may have come in DEAD last, but we FINISHED. When we showed up to the finish line wet, cold, and defeated she raced out to welcome us with open arms. Team Mitchell Finished Our First 5K! We ran for a reason!
Shout Out to Earl & Megan for running with Ben & I and helping keep the baby dry!
Shout Out to Nick C of Section133 for running like a CHAMP!

Chuck Billy and his men have every right to be called one of the founding bands of the bay area thrash.
Even though the band changed some of their members more often than some old rocker their leather jacket, that didn't harm the fantastic sounds nor the stunning stage shows of Testament. Rather, all the new influences of the band members improved and reinvented their music notes. Go and show the guys how much metal you have inside of you and maybe you can call yourself a new member of Testament real soon ;)
Members: Chuck Billy (lead singer), Eric Peterson (guitar), Alex Skolnick (guitar), Steve DiGiorgio (bass), Gene Hoglan (drums)

IHG, Hilton: Stack Huge Portal Payouts For Big Savings
Swagbucks and Ebates are having an awesome promotion for anyone looking to book Hilton or IHG Hotels. Currently, if you link through the Swagbucks shopping section to book any hotel at IHG and most Hilton hotels you will receive a great cashback bonus in the form of Swagbucks. The rate of return for IHG bookings is 15% and Hilton is 12%. Ebates also has the 12% for Hilton right now! This is the highest payout from a portal I've ever seen for either brand.
One Minor Issue
These are considered direct bookings, so you'll earn points and be eligible for any applicable promotions. One thing to note is that the 12% cash back for Hilton is not for elite members other than the entry level tier. I can't imagine you won't be able to get around this, just give your elite status number at check-in and either book with a separate account or if you have a travel partner who doesn't have status, even better. Hilton Gold Status comes with the Hilton Honors Ascend Card, here's our review of the card. Don't forget it's also one of the many benefits of the Amex Platinum Card: American Express Platinum Card Benefits: Ultimate Guide Including Details of Each Perk and How to Maximize.
Click Here to Compare Travel Rewards Cards
Stack for Huge Savings
There are quite a few opportunities to stack this deal from Swagbucks. First, let's start with Hilton. They currently have a double points promotion, so you'll earn double on all of your spend. But even better than that? There are a few Amex Offers that are very widely available and not at all restrictive. In fact, one of them is for Hotels in the Hilton portfolio in the US and US territories. Should be easy enough. So let's say you do a few separate orders to maximize the Amex Offer or alternatively you could use a Hilton credit card that earns bonus points on all Hilton spend. Just stacking the Swagbucks and the Amex Offer you're saving approximately 24%, combine that with credit card rewards and a minimum of 20 points per dollar in Hilton Loyalty points and this is a pretty nice deal.
While there's unfortunately no Amex Offer to stack with the 15% back at IHG, there are a bunch of promotions going on right now including IHG's accelerate promo. Also, some people have been targeted for offers involving Kimpton. If you happen to have an IHG Credit Card (review here) , the earning structure is pretty great and you will be earning valuable points at a discount to put towards future reward stays.
