Medium format camera manufacturer Hasselblad and drone authority DJI have presented what they call a "high-end aerial camera-platform combo." By that, they mean they built an all-in-one package that merges Hasselblad's 50MP A5D-50c aerial camera and DJI's Matrice 600 hexocopter. It will be their first joint product since DJI acquired a minority stake in Hasselblad Group.
The combination of the M600 and the A5D provides users with today's most advanced aerial optics and sensors, integrated with one of the world's most reliable aerial platforms. "Combining [them] is a natural development for DJI and Hasselblad," claims Perry Oosting, CEO of Hasselblad. "We are delighted to provide this unique bundle to professional photographers, surveyors and mappers."
DJI's M600 is designed for maximum performance and smart flight safety. It comes fully equipped with the Ronin-MX gimbal system, 6 intelligent batteries, A3 flight controller, Lightbridge 2 Professional HD transmission system, a dust-proof propulsion system and powerful app control. On the other side, Hasselblad's A5D combines the world's best optics and sensors with a modern, compact design. It comes standard with Hasselblad's Natural Colour Solution and has a strong seal on the camera body and sensor unit, preventing dust in the optical system.

The Bengals added Otis Hudson, an interior offensive lineman from Eastern Illinois in round 5. Hudson has good size at 6-4 5/8, 312 pounds, but was not highly regarded by the majority of draft prognosticators. It's clear that OL coach Paul Alexander sees something in him they do not. Here's what NFL.com has to say:
Pick Analysis: The Bengals add an interior blocker with good potential by picking Otis Hudson. The Eastern Illinois standout will compete for time at the position, and could give them a young player to develop behind their starters.

"Her decision to keep her relationship with Joe quiet is making her happy," the source said. "They have been getting to know each other slowly without any pressure."
Joe and Taylor have spent the last few months flying back and forth between the U.S. and Joe's native U.K., where he was filming his next movie, The Favourite.
Joe apparently, "is very happy about spending time at home with Taylor," and "they seem to be on the same page. Joe is getting to know Taylor's parents and everyone likes him. He is very supportive of her work."
Taylor and Joe were first linked to one another in June last year, and it has been her most secretive relationship yet.
"It was her goal to keep it a secret even though it's all really light still. She barely told any of her friends. She got buried in media being on top of her life during the last relationship, so she tried everything in her power to not have that happen again. She worked very closely with her security team and management to make sure her life going forward was private. All of that madness really affected her."

Just about a year ago, I made my snowbird winter OCR trip to Miami for both the Spartan Super and then Tough Mudder a week later. I couldn't pass up an escape from the endless snowfall in NY to check out this new Tampa Special Ops course, a Spartan Sprint housed in AND out of the Buccaneers' football stadium, surrounded with much hype as their first "hybrid" event of this type and promising a heavy military influence like never before.
1. COURSE- This would be my fourth stadium series Spartan Race after doing NY's CitiField race in 2013 and Boston's Fenway events in 2012 and 2013, so I had a good idea of what to expect and how they naturally differ from your outdoor OCRs. This race, however, would now combine the indoor stadium style race with the fun and dirt of the surrounding areas out of the arena, a first of its kind. So, did this format work? Well, if anyone was familiar with the previous stadium races, it might have seemed short on the number and types of obstacles from before. We've gotten to expect a CrossFit influenced circuit included in the stadium obstacles list, but that disappeared in Tampa as there were no rowing erg's, slam balls, box jumps, or jump roping. Instead, lots more ramps and stairs, and surely the favorite section being a barbed wire crawl the entire length of the Buc's field. Hardest to succeed at?... a Nerf football toss into a garbage pail 15 yards away, which left nearly all of the racers doing 30 burpees. Outside on a field adjacent to the stadium were about 7 or 8 final obstacles before the finish, a fast and relatively easy last half mile to the end which probably could have been ramped up to make the finale more exciting. Important to note in the course discussion was a major marking error or volunteer misdirection which caused almost the entire elite men's field to skip a section of the race mid way through, a problem that just should not have happened especially with an enclosed course like a stadium race of only several miles. GRADE = C
2. FESTIVAL- This was one of the better afterparties overall for Spartan, but definitely tops for their stadium series. One simple reason- having the finish outside of the arena. The previous baseball park races have gone around the warning track of the field to cross the finish near the 3rd base dugouts, which then funnels racers into the hallways and leaves many not knowing where to go, what to do next, and often having trouble finding friends and spectators. As far as this hybrid style race went, the best aspect was the return of the familiar contests, music, and party tents that we know from the "outdoor" OCRs. GRADE = A
3. SWAG- A bunch of new souvenirs from this race earned Tampa a good mark. Finishers received not one but two medals- a "special" Special Ops medals unique to this race, and the new 2014 (and mixed reviewed) Trifecta 1/3 pie piece. I was incredibly relieved to also get a new Spartan shirt for the first time in over a year. As many of you know, this was a major point of contention with Mudman and SRs, pretty much since Reebok signed on as their partner last January. This version is charcoal instead of all the prior black ones, and FINALLY has the year printed, on the right sleeve. Aroo! GRADE = A
After each mud run or obstacle race I compete in, you'll get my review and grades for each event to help you decide which ones you might want to sign up for. The following categories will be discussed:
1. COURSE- the design, venue, and setup of the race itself- how creative/ adventurous/ difficult the obstacles were, and obviously... how was the MUD?!?
2. FESTIVAL- all the fun beyond the actual race- the social atmosphere which usually includes food, beer garden, dj/ music/ concert, contests, vendors, and more during the after-party
3. SWAG- the included goodie bag and prizes up for grabs- all the "free" stuff that comes with price of entry and the quality of awards, shirts, and other giveaways

Theres only two more days left in 2017! 😓 I knew this part of the year was going to FLY BY and its so bittersweet to say good-bye to another year to welcome a new one in just a few short days!
Things are obviously a lot different this time around from last year - we're almost done baking a baby! 😬 This holiday season has just added to the blur of time but we had a very nice Christmas spent with friends and family here in Florida while missing our family in Connecticut. Last year we were attending ugly sweater parties, this year we're wearing our ugly sweater to Christmas dinner! Oh how things have changed! Pretty much the only excitement around here as we're nearing 34 Weeks tomorrow!
Here's to a new BumpDate!
How Far Along: 33 Weeks and 6 Days
Total Weight Gain: I think I'm back up to around +16 this week according to my scale, I'm eating pretty much everything in sight. BUTTT seeing that flat belly up there is pretty motivating for after delivery! 😖
Maternity Clothes: Still living in leggings, converse and comfy clothes. My belly is so tight these days that anything constricting is just ANNOYING!
Sleeping: HA! What is sleep? Between her kicking me all night long, having to pee, and having the WORST congestion since Christmas - I'm pretty sure I'm ready for these upcoming sleepless nights! 💤
Best Moment This Week: Spending time with Jimmy on my "off" days and feeling her move around.
Movement: Moving...all around, all the time. 😛
Food Cravings: Ugh my diet has been so bad! This week Jimmy and I meal planned and we've vowed that we're both going on a diet (breastfeeding friendly for me of course) after she arrives! 🍳🍴🍵 But oh so ready to get back to pre-baby!
Sickness or Health: TMI - but so much snot. I can not clear my sinuses to save my life. Had a bit of nausea and gross vomiting too Wednesday but still congested so bad that everything has become unbearable.
Mood: Obviously, complaining has become part of my daily schedule, but I'm just trying to remain positive and soak in these last few weeks of her being in my belly before she's here! 💖
Pregnancy Wisdom: Baby Morgan is the size of a pineapple this week! 🍍
Weekly Milestone: Jimmy has started her closet from scratch! 😜 It's back to chaos in the nursery but I'm so excited to see it finished & put away the rest of her stuff!
We don't have much planned for the rest of the year, I'm going to be working these last two days so while I ring in the New Year in the ER, Jimmy will probably be ringing in 2018 from our bed, asleep with the dogs! 😂
I'm going to miss the holidays, it's always my favorite part of the year! We had the most Charlie Brown tree this season but I must say it was definitely my favorite that Jimmy and I have ever had. I had plans to completely redo all of our Christmas Decor this year but yeahhh, that didn't happen - hence our handful of ornaments on the tree! 🎄Maybe we'll try again next year?
In the meantime, I hope that you all enjoy the remaining moments of 2017 and welcome 2018 with as much joy and excitement as we plan too here at The Morgan Household!

You might have read so many diet plans to boost fertility, you might have tried them all, but still failed to get pregnant. Almost all posts that talk about infertility provide a free diet plan for the reader to follow. I'm not going to tell you what to eat on Monday and what to avoid on Tuesday, I'm going to keep this simple and to the point.
Red Meat, Fish & Poultry
Lean clean organic meats and poultry are advised. You must avoid eating raw or under-cooked meat, fish or poultry because they contain a high amount of listeria – a bacteria linked to an increased risk on unplanned abortion. Remember, before eating meat, fish or poultry, heat it up.
According to Shasta, whole fat organic dairy is advised especially in form of yogurt.
Whole Grain & Processed Sugars
Whole grain, low glycemic, slow burning organic and preferably gluten free grains are advised. It all depends on how you want to manage and maintain your health and weight.
Artificial Additives
There have lately been a lot of controversies relating to aspartame and MSG, but scientific research hasn't yet been able to prove that they're harmful. If controversies worry you, limit or eliminate these from your diet.
Omega-3 Fatty Oils
Some people swear by Omega-3. They believe that it helps with male infertility and endometriosis. Nevertheless I suggest that you eat no more than 12 ounces of fish each week and limit canned tuna. Avoid fishes that have a high level of mercury such as swordfish, shark, king mackerel, grouper etc.
It has been noted that soy does in fact decrease fertility and it may disturb thyroid functionality therefore my advice is that you limit it severely or eliminate it from your diet altogether.
Diet Conclusion
When it comes to fats, oils and sweets, severely limit and use sparingly. You might not like the weight gain it brings about apart from the weight you will naturally gain through pregnancy! Milk, yoghurt, cheese, meat, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs and nuts should be limited to 2 – 3 servings. As for fruits the recommended serving is around 2 – 4 while veggies are between 3 and 5. You can have 6 – 10 servings of bread, pasta, cereal and rice. Remember, no fad diets!
Have you tried the God's miracle food called the Kitchari? It has helped with infertility so if you've tried hard and failed, this is what you probably need. Read more about the Kitchari here!

What Should You Know About Waterlase Laser Dentistry?
At Platinum Dental your comfort is our priority. Do you dread shots? Find dental drills irritating? Dislike the feeling of your mouth feeling numb (or having to talk while numb)? Well, we have something up our sleeve that makes it so that you don't have to experience any of that. It's called Waterlase Laser Dentistry. By using laser energy and water spray, Waterlase can help patients get through many routine dental procedures without needing a shot or drill.
How Does It Work?
Over half of our bodies are made up of water, including our teeth. When the Waterlase laser makes contact with your tooth it arouses the water molecules within it to cut through it. It's completely natural! The process helps your tooth to stay hydrated so that you don't feel any heat or pain.
What Do Our Patients Think of Our Waterlase Services?
"Dr. Bills is an incredible dentist! He does a very thorough job with the best technology. He uses a laser on many cavities which helps reduce the pain of the treatment and also makes it so you don't have to have a shot. With his laser technology you also won't have a numb mouth like you regularly would."
– Jared Hansen
"Dr. Bills and his staff are wonderful and friendly! The office is clean and has a pleasing aesthetic. He used a laser to fix a broken filling, which means no numbing, no mouth drooping, and no pain! He was very observant and gentle, asking me if I was doing okay every few minutes. It was great! Have gone to him my whole life and will continue to do so!"
– Kimberly Jewkes
We Can't Wait to See You!

Campaign Updates:
November 2019
Construction is well underway for the Adult Stem Cell Transplant Unit at Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre, with the expansion expected to be complete and open for patients in summer 2020. Other project work will continue through the end of 2020.
We are pleased to announce several construction milestones:
• Clinic F – The assessment of patients with blood cancers is primarily undertaken in an outpatient clinic, called Clinic F, located at Juravinski Cancer Centre. The Centre has expanded its clinical capacity for improved access to care for patients and caregivers. This includes three new exam rooms and one counsel room for multidisciplinary consultations. The new space will also allow for the recruitment of a specialized hematologist.
• Laboratory space – The expansion of the laboratory space is required to enable the installation of an additional freezer that will store stem cells before infusion.
• You may have recently noticed the big yellow crane outside of Juravinski Hospital. The crane is lifting a four-section air-handling unit into the new Adult Stem Cell Transplant Unit. Each section weighs approximately 47,000 lbs.
July 2019
In July 2019, Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre celebrated a major milestone when Dr. Brian Leber performed the thousandth allogeneic stem cell transplant.
May 2019
On May 17, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care announced an investment of $25 million for the expansion of the Adult Stem Cell Transplant Program. In addition to this support, we are thankful to all donors to the Tomorrow Stems From You® campaign, which contributed $5 million to expand a dedicated clinical area and purchase vital equipment.
Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre is just one of three centres providing all forms of stem cell transplants to adult cancer patients in Ontario. A stem cell transplant has the ability to give more tomorrows to patients suffering from blood cancers, such as leukemia and lymphoma. It is a complex, but potentially life-saving medical procedure, and patients across Ontario are waiting for their opportunity to receive a transplant.
Stem cell transplants, particularly donor-matched transplants (clinically known as allogeneic) are complex and resource-intensive, requiring very specialized facilities and highly trained clinical teams.
The campaign will enable the expansion of a dedicated and specialized clinical space, and to purchase essential equipment. The expansion is expected to be complete and open for patients in summer 2020.
Donate today because everyone deserves a tomorrow.
Cancer Journey Leads to a Hopeful Tomorrow
The fatigue kept getting worse for Frank Tousaw of Caistor Centre during the winter of 2013. Then the back pain would not go away.
"My family doctor suspected I had blood cancer," Frank recalls, "so I was referred to Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre for testing."
Frank was diagnosed with Double Hit Lymphoma (DHL), an aggressive form of cancer. Without treatment Frank was in serious danger. Treatment included chemotherapy and an autologous stem cell transplant, which involved the use of his own cells.
After spending 84 days in hospital, which included his stem cell transplant, Frank is now back to work full-time and his cancer is in remission.
"Now I have a hopeful tomorrow that will allow me to watch my kids make their way in the world."
You can give more tomorrows. Donate today.
Stem cell transplant stops cancer recurrence in its tracks
Fourteen months after going into remission from acute myeloid leukemia, Linda Millar of St. Catharines learned her cancer was back.
This time, chemotherapy was much harder. "I was weaker. It was difficult to even get up to go to the bathroom," Linda says.
Her doctor told her she needed a stem cell transplant. "He said that when this kind of cancer comes back, it will continue to come back. And I knew I wouldn't be able to go through this treatment again."
After a brief admission for immunosuppression treatment and the transplant, Linda had a follow-up appointment every second day for 100 days to monitor her for complications. She had to avoid crowds and wear a mask when she left home. "I found the most challenging part was the weakness and the need to keep pushing myself to keep going," she says. Four years later, she is grateful and feeling well.
"I received the very top level of care at Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre. The whole team is incredible," Linda says. "I pushed myself to keep going so I could have a tomorrow. Mine is a real success story, thanks to my stem cell transplant."
Running against the odds for a brighter tomorrow
"My legs were hurting and I had difficulty walking," says Boyd, recalling the summer of 2011.
While visiting his local hospital in London, he was given a devastating diagnosis: acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Boyd was transferred to Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre, where he underwent chemotherapy, full-body radiation and a stem cell transplant in May 2012.
Each day brought greater strength in his legs as he recovered slowly and steadily. Inspired and encouraged by friends, Boyd took up running during the summer of 2013.
"I completed my first full marathon in January 2015 and I ran the Boston Marathon in April 2016. My stem cell transplant gave me brighter tomorrows, which allowed me to run in Boston. I continue pushing the envelope wherever life takes me."

Uncertain future turns into a bright tomorrow
One month shy of her 20th birthday, Maddie was diagnosed with leukemia. She had been feeling exhausted and her mom had noticed she looked extremely pale. The diagnosis was a shock.
When chemotherapy was not as effective as her hematologist had hoped, it was recommended that Maddie have a stem cell transplant, which replaces unhealthy blood-forming cells with healthy cells.
Maddie, a Burlington resident, was surprised that the procedure was like getting a blood transfusion. In fact, she slept through it. After a difficult month in isolation at Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre, Maddie went home.
Three years later, Maddie says, "I couldn't have asked for a better team supporting me through that journey. I am living a normal life and looking forward to tomorrow, which is incredible because I never thought I would be able to do that."
Stem cell transplant leads to a brighter tomorrow
"I thought it was just the common cold," says Scott Rogers of Oakville, who began to feel unwell in November 2015. "Then I started experiencing chest pains."
Blood tests at his local hospital indicated cancer. When a bone marrow biopsy revealed the cancer to be acute myeloid leukemia (AML), Scott was transferred to Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre for treatment. He underwent two rounds of chemotherapy to prepare his body for a stem cell transplant.
After his older brother proved to be a viable stem cell donor, Scott underwent a successful stem cell transplant on April 15. Scott went home on May 3 and slowly regained his strength and stamina. At present, Scott is cancer-free.
"My stem cell transplant saved my life. Now I can look forward to a brighter tomorrow with my family."
I now have a tomorrow
Cassandra Wadham of Burlington was experiencing weakness and night sweats. When she developed a mouth sore, she went to her local ER. They sent her to Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre.
A bone marrow biopsy showed 37-year-old Cassandra had acute myeloid leukemia.
For seven months, Cassandra underwent chemotherapy and full-body radiation to prepare her system for a stem cell transplant. A matching donor was found and the transplant was successful.
"It took about six weeks for me to recover to the point where I could be discharged," says Cassandra. "I was in isolation for 100 days at home to minimize the risk of infection, leaving only for medical appointments."
Cassandra is now thriving and looking forward to Feb. 3, 2017, which will mark five years in remission, at which point she will be considered cured.
"If I didn't have a stem cell transplant, I probably would have died," Cassandra says. "I can look forward to tomorrow and the future thanks to my stem cell transplant."
What is a stem cell transplant?
A stem cell transplant is a method of replacing cells in the bone marrow that cause cancer. New stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient so that they can attack the underlying diseased cells to help fight the cancer.

Those with a Pluto-the-planet-shaped void in their hearts have been eagerly following updates about Planet 9, a hypothetical world thought to be 10 times more massive than Earth and roughly 1000 astronomical units (AU) away from the Sun. While there are naysayers aplenty, new research validates believers — and delivers some unexpected news about the planet's rough childhood.
Artist's concept of Planet 9. (Image: Caltech/R. Hurt)
Space.com reports that after months of research, James Vesper, an undergraduate student at New Mexico State University (NMSU), announced at the 229th gathering of American Astronomical Society (AAS) it's "very plausible" that Planet 9 was a "rogue planet" — a planetary-mass object that wanders around the galaxy unattached to a star. If he's right, this would mean our Sun snatched the unsuspecting planet like a cosmic Hamburglar stealing a snack.
Vesper and his mentor, NMSU professor Paul Mason, came to this conclusion after running 156 simulations of possible encounters between our Sun and various rogue planets. Vesper said that in about 60 per cent of the encounters, the incoming rogue planet would enter the solar system and eventually get ejected. But, in 40 per cent of the simulations, the rogue was captured by the solar system and stayed put — sometimes booting another planet out of orbit in the process. It isn't a definitive explanation of Planet 9's origin, or a confirmation of its existence, but it's certainly feasible.
The fact that rogue planets are abundant — possibly even more so than the number of planets with suns — also bolsters Vesper and Mason's argument.
At this point, Planet 9, rogue or not, is still a pile of hypotheticals. But Konstantin Batygin, an assistant professor of planetary sciences at Caltech, thinks Vesper's findings could be legit.
"It is certainly plausible that Planet 9 is captured object," Batygin, who has pioneered research around the hypothetical world, told Gizmodo. "Without knowing the precise orbit, it is difficult to decisively confirm or refute rogue capture as Planet 9's origin story, but it's certainly possible."
Regardless of its origins, Batygin said we should remain curious about this weird world.
"I'm quite certain that Planet 9 is really out there," he said. "The number of seemingly unrelated puzzles within the solar system that are resolved by Planet 9's existence is simply too great for it all to be a coincidence."

Raise or Rise – Which is correct?
Some employees fear that computers will take over their jobs with the _______ of machine learning, but that is not the case.
A. raise
B. rise
Answer: B
Both verbs raise and rise mean "to elevate" or "go up." However, their primary difference is that raise is normally transitive and rise is never transitive.
In the case of raise, transitive means that it has a direct object. The action is done to someone or something else. Something raises something.
For rise, the verb does not have a direct object. The someone or something does the action alone. Something rises.
In the sentence above, rise is correct because it's indicated that machine learning doing the action alone, or rising by itself. Raise would be used if something or someone was doing the action to machine learning, or helping to raise it up.
EnglishClub gives a good example to remember the difference:
We raise the flag when the sun rises.

Brownfield Project Management – The Lean Portfolio
(Project Management)
- Outstanding Features
- Course Overview
- Target Audience
- You Will Learn How to
- Topics
- Course Details
- Certifications
- LMS Course Resources
Outstanding Features
Greater asset improvement, in less time for less money.The day offers an energizing mix of theory and practice including two sessions of team-based simulation. Expertly coached by industry renowned Stuart Elliot, who will guide your individual planning to improve your portfolio value.
Course Overview
The challenge at every operating plant is to improve performance year over year, despite limited resources and the relentless wear and tear that comes with 'pushing' an aging asset. This one-day course introduces a Lean governance framework for the portfolio of hundreds of small and mid-sized engineered improvements necessary to sustain and improve an operating plant.
Portfolio management is different from project management, starting with the overall goal. Lean portfolio governance enables facility management to align key contributors (notably Finance, Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, Supply Chain and Construction) to achieve a shared goal of more asset improvements in less time for less money and effort. Some companies use the term 'brownfield capital efficiency' for this desirable outcome. The stakes are high: a large and growing backlog of project work requests could be a leading indicator that the asset is wearing out faster than it is being improved. The course introduces the principles of Lean brownfield portfolio management and equips participants to begin to implement them at their operating facilities.
Target Audience
This is a management course designed for plant managers and middle managers who are responsible for developing, delivering or controlling an annual program of brownfield asset improvements, also known as sustaining project work, in support of an operating facility. Direct reports to these positions will also gain from attending.
The type of leader who would benefit from this course is one seeking ways to get more asset improvements in less time for less money but who may have concerns about whether traditional project controls help the overall portfolio (and the asset that it serves) as much as they help individual projects.
You Will Learn How to
Participants completing this one day course will learn how to:
- Define and communicate a goal for their facility's portfolio that will align Operations, Maintenance, Engineering and Finance around what matters most in brownfield work.
- Understand four distinct business practices which lead to more asset improvements in less time for less money, and which benefit from improved alignment among the groups just mentioned.
- Declutter any large and growing backlog of brownfield project work requests so that management attention can be focused on the most valid project ideas.
- Adapt and apply their company's current Risk Matrix to further refine the list of valid projects ideas so that the asset gets the most improvement possible with the funds and resources available.
- Recognize and optimize whatever constraints are limiting the organization's ability to get more asset improvements in less time for less money.
- Build on the strengths of current project controls but shape their
emphasis to create more portfolio value.
- Introductions
- Zookeeper Game & Debrief
- Governance: The Predictability Trap
- Principles of Brownfield Portfolio Management
- Application Within Participant's Organization
- Apply Principles to Zookeeper
Course Details
The course begins with an engaging interactive brownfield portfolio simulation to show the surprising range of impact of project selection and timing (two big decisions in managing portfolios) when measured against a shared portfolio goal. Participants then take the lessons from the simulation and apply them to their own portfolio governance, looking specifically at how management attention is divided amongst:
- Improving the asset
- Using resources wisely
- Doing what's promised
- Learning to do it all better
Instructor shares insights into common blind spots in brownfield portfolio governance to help participants recognize their own blind spots. Each participant, or groups of participants from the same company, will have a chance to outline an implementation framework aimed at improving capital efficiency, alignment and portfolio value in their own organizations. It's not just conceptual; participants will be introduced to the Reliability Integrity Bang for the Buck (RIBB) tool that can be adapted to any existing risk matrix and used immediately to sort and spread a backlog over time, improving clarity and value for annual budgeting. The day ends with the opportunity to revisit the Portfolio Zookeeper simulation to apply lessons learnt and improve the value created from the sample portfolio.

While Marriott International cut hird-party planner commissions from 10 percent to 7 percent—which went
into effect March 31, 2018—Disney Destinations said it would keep commissions for independent meeting planners at 10 percent.
During a recent presentation in Orlando by
Disney Destinations to introduce all that's new at
Disney for groups, meetings media were assured
Disney would not follow Marriott in reducing
"Disney remains committed to supportingthird-party planners who bring groups, meet-ings and conventions to our destinations," saidClaire Bilby, senior vice president of Sales,Services & Events for Disney Destinations.
"We appreciate the time and effort involved in
providing quality services.
"While some companies have chosen to
change their commission structure, Disney
continues to maintain its 10 percent commission rate," she added.
Following Marriott's announcement on its
new commission structure, Hilton Worldwide
also announced a reduction in group hotel
booking commissions for meeting professionals from 10 percent to 7 percent that will take
effect in September 2018. Meetings booked
before Oct. 1, 2018, will receive the 10 percent
commission rate.
The news from Disney was music to the ears
of David Bruce, founder and executive director of Meeting Planners
Unite, a newly minted
association that aims to
represent independent
"This is excellent
news," Bruce said. "It's
what we're hearing in
the industry from many
of the chains out there.
They've done their due diligence, they've run
the numbers and they see the importance of
the independent planners and see no reason
to change things.
"I'm glad to hear Disney is smart enough to
pick that up; that the relationship with the independent planner means that much to us and
you're an extension of our sales team," he added.
While Bruce said those sales costs are
going up, it stands to reason: The more a hotel
makes in group revenue, the more it will pay
the independent planner.
"It's just like paying taxes; the more you
make, the more you pay," Bruce reasoned.
While Bruce is happy to
hear about Disney, he said
he's not surprised.
"I didn't expect Disneyto adjust their commissionstructure because they aregoing up against Goliath,"Bruce said. "This is a prod-uct differentiation fromHilton and Marriott." G T SPRODUCTIONS/SHUTTERSTOCK.COMROBERTNOELDETILLY/SHUTTERSTOCK.COM

Stay on target
When it comes to Valentine's Day, you typically think of giving flowers, chocolate, or maybe lingerie to your significant other. If your partner is a gamer, those traditional gifts may not suffice. Thankfully, SCUF is rolling out a new line of limited edition PlayStation 4 and PC controllers inspired by the most amorous of holidays. As you would expect, these controllers not only look good, but they have the same great functionality SCUF's products are known for.
The line consists of three colors: Chocolate, Teal, and Magenta. Folks have a choice between the SCUF Impact or SCUF Infinity Pro variants of the controllers. Like all controllers from SCUF, each of these are highly customizable. Users can add paddles to the back, change out the thumbsticks, and even customize the sensitivity of the trigger buttons. If you're familiar with SCUF's products then you know exactly what to expect here.
SCUF is giving a few lucky folks the chance to win all three controllers. Entering the contest is fairly straightforward. Contestants must take a selfie with their favorite SCUF controller or piece of SCUF swag. If they fail to have either, they can record a small video clip explaining why they need SCUF in their life. The funnier the clip, the better the chances are of winning. After taking a picture or making a video, contestants must post them either on Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #SCUFLove.
I've been a big fan of SCUF's products for a while now so I think these Valentine's Day controllers and the associated contest are pretty neat. You can head on over to SCUF's website and build your own controller. Yeah, the controllers are decidedly pricy, but they are most certainly worth it for dedicated gamers. If you're going to enter the contest, I wish you good luck!

A punter playing the RTG video slot Spirit of the Inca thought he hit it big with a $1,684,999.60 jackpot win at Jackpot Capital, but was then dismayed to find out the win was an error set off by a technician testing a server.
The player hit it big and was elated, but soon found his account locked by Jackpot Capital casino management. A week later the punter found his account was unlocked and the win was still in his ledger. He then tried to withdraw the money only to see the payment denied. When the punter contacted casino management he was informed of the error and offered $1,000 cash to the affected player.
The error occurred when an RTG technician said that they were carrying out routine checks on their test server, but instead accidentally used the operational one to do the test. That resulted in the player thinking he won the jackpot when he really hadn't.
RTG's parent company Hastings International BV has issued a statement on the matter, saying they have taken steps to prevent the issue from occurring again, and that the company's terms and conditions void all winnings that are the result of a technical failure.
Casino Listings will update this story as more developments arise.

Theresa May is facing what could be the biggest loss in Commons history today.
As Members of Parliament gather tonight to vote on her Brexit withdrawal agreement, the UK Prime Minister needs 318 MPs to be in favour to pass her deal. However, the numbers are at odds, with commentators predicting a loss by over 200. With such gloomy predictions (in addition to a threat to May's premiership and uncertainty over what Brexit will look like), Sterling is in a fragile position and could face declines similar to those seen after the June 2016 referendum.
European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker tried to step in yesterday, 14 January. In a published letter to May, he emphasised that the Irish backstop was the last resort and "sub-optimal" for trade. He offered no time limits but stated it would not be indefinite. Juncker's reassurances were not enough to sway MPs to back the PM's deal.
Meanwhile, the Dollar weakened against a basket of currencies yesterday, after Federal Reserve member Richard Clarida warned that the central bank could be "very patient" when it comes to raising interest rates and will "take this meeting by meeting". The comments added to the worries over the US economy, which has recently been losing steam, after the figures released yesterday showed Chinese exports contracted.
Today, all eyes will be on Westminster and any developments ahead of tonight's vote. If defeated, May will have three days to come back to Parliament with an alternative Brexit plan.

Research into brewing yeast and other organisms associated with beer and brewing has experienced many important advances in the past decade, propelled by technological advances in tools fundamental to the investigation of microbes and their metabolism.
This volume surveys the most recent discoveries in brewing microbiology, with an emphasis on omics techniques and other modern technologies. Discoveries in these areas have furthered our knowledge of brewing processes, with practical applications from barley growth and malting to yeast management, strain selection, fermentation control, and quality assurance. The chapters, written by experts in the field, aim not only to illuminate recent progress, but also to discuss its impact on brewing practices. Topics covered include the physiology, fermentation, taxonomy, diversity, typing, genetic manipulation, genomics and evolution of brewing yeasts. Further areas covered include the fungal contamination of barley and malt, spoilage by lactic acid bacteria and gram-negative bacteria, and beer-spoiling yeasts.
This volume is highly recommended for anyone involved in the microbiology of brewing.
"I learnt a great deal from this volume, and there is no doubt that this will be a valuable information source not just for those involved in the brewing industry, but for those in applied mycology and food science courses. The editors are to be congratulated on putting together such an authoritative overview of brewing yeasts and their exploitation." from IMA Fungus (2017) 8: 29.

What is Ketosis?
Ketosis Forces your body to get its energy by burning fat instead of carbs.
When you've reached a state of Ketosis, your body starts immediately burning fat for its energy instead of carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates are not the ideal energy source for your body, so up until we reach a state of ketosis, we are generally left feeling exhausted, under tension and low-energy by the end of every day.
Fat Is the body's optimal energy source. So when your body reaches ketosis you'll find your energy boosts, and you'll feel more focused than ever before, even late into the day.
Nutritional Ketosis Youtube
Why aren't more individuals in a state of Ketosis?
The normal western world diet plan today has the tendency to consist of massive amounts of carbs. In addition, for many years consumers have been demanding low fat and fat free variations of foods.
Through our diets, our bodies have actually been conditioned to burn carbohydrates for energy instead of fat. As discussed formerly, this can have major repercussions to our feeling of well being.
So simply begin consuming more fat and less carbs?
Regrettably, it's not constantly this easy. Because your body has been configured for several years to save fat and burn carbs, we typically require some aid to kick-start the process of ketosis into high equipment.
This help comes in the kind of a chemical compound referred to as Beta-hydroxybutyrate (likewise called BHB). BHB informs your body to begin the procedure of evolving into a ketosis state.
How does my body get BHB?
While your body produces really small quantities of BHB, it doesn't produce big adequate quantities to quickly lead to a ketosis state. Therefore many individuals decide to supplement BHB in their diets. Purefit Keto is a popular and highly effective dietary supplement utilized to accomplish this,.
What are the advantages of Purefit Keto?
Purefit Keto will help you to reach a state of ketosis much quicker than would be possible by diet plan alone. It'll assist you to get slim, improve your energy level, improve your state of mind, and feel healthy and confident again.
Nutritional Ketosis Youtube
Who is Purefit Keto for?
Purefit Keto is perfect for both men and women that want to reach a state of ketosis quicker, feel much better and look much better.
Is Purefit Keto Safe?
Purefit Keto features an unique blend of components. Purefit Keto is both safe and practical. It provides an easy and safe method to reach a state of ketosis without suffering the unfavorable adverse effects of a normal ketogenic diet plan.
Can I eat whatever I want while taking Purefit Keto?
Once you remain in a state of dietary ketosis, staying in ketosis is as simple as preserving a keto-friendly diet, plenty of workout, and enjoying all the advantages Purefit KETO needs to offer.
For best results, you'll wish to eat a diet plan that consists mainly of fat, with moderate protein intake and a percentage of carbs. It's recommended to try to consume a diet plan of 70% fat, 25% protein, and 5% carbs while taking the supplement.

Case study: making the financial case for introducing a Customer Data Platform (CDP)
This case study is important for people in marketing, finance and IT who are considering investing in a CDP because it:
- shares the financial results, in an anonymised form, of two recent business casing exercises for companies with significant levels of marketing spend.
- explains the business areas where the benefits of introducing a CDP were most evident.
First, what is a CDP?
According to the Customer Data Platform Institute it is 'packaged software that creates a persistent, unified customer database that is accessible to other systems'. This definition has three critical elements:
"packaged software":
the CDP is a prebuilt system that is configured to meet the needs of each client. Some technical resources will be required to set up and maintain the CDP, but it does not require the level of technical skill of a typical data warehouse project. This reduces the time, cost, and risk and gives business users more control over the system, even though they may still need some technical assistance.
"creates a persistent, unified customer database":
the CDP creates a comprehensive view of each customer by capturing data from multiple systems, linking information related to the same customer, and storing the information to track behaviour over time. The CDP contains personal identifiers used to target marketing messages and track individual-level marketing results.
"accessible to other systems":
data stored in the CDP can be used by other systems for analysis and to manage customer interactions.
How were the business cases developed?
Both of the companies maintained detailed reports of the costs and results from all of their current direct communications activities. These formed the basis from which many of the benefits from introducing a CDP could be estimated.
In each case workshops were held to examine where a CDP could add value, and lists of benefit streams were developed. In addition, areas where time savings would result from automation were identified.
Managers were then asked to estimate the anticipated level of improvement they would expect when a CDP was introduced, in percentage terms, and a very conservative view taken of the expected uplifts. There remained a lengthy list of largely unquantifiable benefits such as improved customer experience or improved business continuity when staff left.
What were the results of the business casing exercises?
The following table shows in indexed and % fashion the end results. The calculations were all done on per annum basis as the cost of the CDP was to be charged in that way.
Client A
Client B
Current net contribution from DM activities (index)
Uplift in net contribution from introducing a CDP
Cost of the CDP as a % of net contribution
ROI from the CDP
The current net contribution was the calculation of the value obtained from marketing communications after deducting their costs. The ROI was calculated as the ratio of the uplift in net contribution over the cost of the CDP.
In both cases it made much more sense to invest in introducing the CDP than in increasing the current level of marketing communications spend.
So where did the benefits come from?
We divided these into improvements to marketing operations, and to planning activities:
Area impacted
UniFida impact
Direct mail and email campaigns
Integration of outbound communications across all channels, particularly email and mail
Welcome packs and welcome emails based on initial purchase and known pre-existing customer characteristics such as browsing history
Early inclusion of new customers in campaigns
Next best action taking account of purchase propensities, browser interests and email opens
Managing customer contact density based on individual customer propensity to purchase
Where a company owns several brands, the CDP opens up cross-sales opportunities
Web, email and catalogue personalisation
Personalisation incorporating underlying customer characteristics such as customer value, customer attrition risk, and customer sale responsiveness in combination with recent on-line activity
Catalogues can be personalised by product preferences
Maintaining history of personalised offers on the customer record
Implementation of data science
Engineered data derived from data science algorithms like segmentations or propensity scores used in all areas of customer selections and analysis
All engineered data fields updated every time new customer data arrives
Customer search, and automated fulfilment of SARs and the right to be forgotten
Maintenance of preference records
Name and address cleansing
Automated access to external suppliers either at point of data entry or exit
Overall marketing planning
Personalised dashboards for all users who can build or select their own charts using both on-line and off-line data
Real time user structured reports on sales and campaign responses leading to swift changes in campaign planning
Longer term reports on customer value and retention
Democratising of decision making from shared customer knowledge
Customer data visualisation in Tableau including geographical representation
Speed to implement step changes
Acceleration of project delivery with marketeers in control of their data and their technology
Recruitment budget allocation
Ongoing reports of customer LTV by recruitment channel (historic or predicted)
Enabling selection of channels and media based on customer longer term value delivered
Business continuity
The logic behind campaign selections and reports as well as results history kept secure
Ease of reuse for future campaign activity by all staff members
Time savings from accelerated operational activities
Ease of making campaign selections and developing reports
Simplicity of organising customer data outputs
Reduction in the workload for IT
Our conclusions
A decision to invest in a CDP will usually involve looking carefully at the many aspects of the business that are going to be impacted by it. It is only by assembling these multiple benefit streams that a full business case can be built. However, certainly based on these results, the case for making the investment can be extremely strong.

Recently I found a bunch of interesting quotes from various writers in a random post over at theChive.com. Credit where credit is due, folks. I plan on doing several posts based on these quotes and I want to credit theChive.com right up front because I don't plan to referencing where I found the pictures in every post. That would get repetitive.
Now, on to this post.
I used this quote a couple of weeks ago when replying to a comment on another post. I like this quote because it speaks to the tension in trying to process criticism from others. If you're like me, you want people to read your stuff and tell you what works and what doesn't. Except, sometimes you don't. Sometimes you're in love with what you wrote and even though you tell your test readers you really, really want honest feedback, the fact is you want honest feedback that affirms your writing genius.
You want them to honestly tell you your story is the best they've ever read.
But they don't understand that, mostly because it's not what you said, and they come back with real, gritty, honest feedback. The kind that can make your story better but isn't always fun to hear. They tell you which parts worked and which parts didn't and sometimes the parts that didn't were your favorite parts. Boy, that sucks. Then you have to decide if you're doing to defend your baby (that's what the story is–bone of your bone, flesh of your flesh) or change it. And by change it, of course, I mean hack it to bits because this literary Neanderthal you foolishly sought advice from says it doesn't work.
What do they know, anyway?
Well, they know if the story worked for them. If they say it didn't, it didn't. The best thing you can do then is listen to why it didn't work for them. Maybe you need to make a change and maybe you don't, but Neil is right about one thing: you almost certainly don't need to make the change they are telling you to make. Their fix probably isn't going to be your fix. Accept that something is broken and take your story, your now-weeping baby, back. Cradle it in your arms and sooth it. Find a solution to the bits that don't work.
Or, more to the point, find your solution. I mean, it is your story. You should enjoy it, too.
And if your critic's reason for not liking something was arbitrary or obscure, sometimes–only sometimes, mind you–you can ignore the criticism altogether.

11 Horrible Real Estate Ads
A picture might be worth a thousand words, but for most real estate agents, it could be mean losing a listing. Even though there are other crucial factors that contribute to selling a home, it's fascinating whenever a seller pulls a listing simply because a picture didn't capture every alluring essence that only the seller sees. However, this does not license a real estate agent to exert no effort while taking pictures.
You think Rocket Science is hard? Try photography.
On the flip side, sometimes real estate agents just don't have much to work with.
"Mrs. Jones, I know you like this table, but what kind of 'value' are we talking about that this is adding?"
Here is a list of pictures showcasing some truly effortless listing pictures. Enjoy!
It's one thing to move some toys out of the way, but having to take a mattress out of the kitchen might be pushing the requirements of an agent. Maybe if we just shut the oven, fix the blinds, and sweep the floors. Then again, we can always include "Fixer-upper" in the ad.
"So are we going for the whole 'CSI investigative scene' here?"
Can you imagine a world without spell check? Believe it or not, there was a time we had to proofread stuff. It's amazing to see how replacing a "v" with a "c" can really change a message. Now, I just hope I used proper spelling when poking fun at this ad. That would be embarassing…
Rule of Thumb: Apartments with spacious first floors are prone to lice.
I shouldn't have to say this. Nevertheless, a listing picture should include the house you are selling. If unkempt shrubbery is your selling hook, then good luck trying to find an avid hedge artist.
Some buyer's enjoy playing I Spy, right?
You might know this, but real estate agents have very fragile legs. It's a struggle to leave our beds much less our cars. Lucky for us at McNaughton Real Estate, we've been taking full advantage of our Pilates instructor that moved in next door.
Whoever said drive-bys were only for gangsters?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but some eyes must not work correctly. Being from Arkansas, we've seen our share with camo theme houses. Try to stay with neutral colors when selling your house. And don't use wrapping paper as wall paper either…
If you look closely, you can see the entire family wearing matching PJs.
"Desperate times call for desperate measures" has been the mentality for many realtors throughout the nation. Lafayette, IN must be in great despair. Not only do their houses need to be digitally enhanced, but the budget cuts required a downgrade on their computer software.
This agent's proud mother added this gem to her refrigerator.
Nothing says "sold as is" than beef jerky sizzling in the corner. A better idea would have been leaving the road kill on the street. On the other hand, I bet this is actually the neighbor's pet, and the owners panicked while trying to find a hiding place. Too many scenarios, so little time.
The sellers also included the microwave that Sparky shot out of.
It's always good to keep the tenant in the loop during picture day. You never know what you'll find or, better yet, not find (in this case a shirt.) Sex does sell, but make sure your advertising something remotely sexy…
Try not to schedule your showing between 2:00-5:00. That's when Phil parties his hardest.
Between pink flamingos and garden gnomes, there are plenty of options to make your yard tacky. Let's try to keep the skulls and toilets to ourselves. And don't give me that "it's an outhouse." Slap some walls around it and cut a crescent out of the door and maybe we'll talk.
Seriously though, isn't it up to the owner to decide how many bathrooms there really are?
I'll admit some sellers work as stringently as agents. And agents should know their client's sleep patterns (well, enough to not be creepy.) But if it's picture day, we don't need a client as a centerpiece.
"Hey you with the camera, can you find me a new TV? Maybe one that isn't the size of a Teletubby's belly? "
It's common to fumigate your house, but I haven't heard too many instances where an exorcist was needed. I'm scared enough going into a seller's home where the electricity is off. I definitely don't need to add Ghost Hunter to the resume.
Who ya gonna call??? Another agent…
Let me know if you find any horrible real estate ads. You can send them to me at email@example.com. I'll see if we can get a special section for your pictures on our Facebook page.

"So little dude…find what your passion is and do that…if you get paid for it that's awesome…if you pick it as a career but lose that passion run away, find something else to pay the bills and find your passion again.

Electric cars/vehicles will dominate car sales by the early 2020's?
Interesting analysis and good overall market look here by using Law of Accelerating Returns by Tam Hunt. We here @ CarStations have felt this to be true and this jibes with what Elon Musk and many others(except other car companies ) have also been saying. We have based it more on prior technology advances like cell phones, iphones, etc. In general when a better product comes along it will disrupt and overtake it's predecessor. Seen many working pay-phones recently? He brings up some good points regarding barriers to this being fully realized, but we think those barriers are being blasted away quickly, like public charging expanding rapidly, etc.

Background Tool Checkout System
Over the last year or so, I've been visiting SamCart everywhere. Tool Checkout System
As an internet entrepreneur, now I pay extra close attention to the shopping carts that people are utilizing and I started noticing more people using SamCart.
Then I started seeing advertisements from SamCart, so I signed up to their email list. I received a few mails from their support being hyped up by them, therefore I decided to give it a shot.
So, did it live this up into the hype? Here's my SamCart review.
What Is SamCart?
SamCart is a web-based checkout platform that Features conversion-optimized checkout templates together with one-click upsell, arrange subscription, bulge and payment plan capabilities which are designed to optimize profits from every sale.
How SamCart Works
Here are the Specific steps that SamCart walks You to help you market your products on the web:
Add a new product (electronic or physical)
Select the payment arrangement you need (either a one-time payment, payment program, or subscription)
Select the checkout page template you want (SamCart's templates are amazing and they have been proven to convert)
Customize the checkout pages to match your own website and brand
Add upsells, create coupons, split-tests, etc..
If you are a person that wants to establish a shopping cart efficiently, SamCart is for you. You can get up and running in under thirty minutes. I put of my things up but that's probably because I watched a YouTube videos about it.
Click here to begin your SamCart trial.
SamCart Features
The biggest reason that SamCart has managed to Grow so quickly is because they offer numerous features that assist online retailers make more money. Whether youselling information products or're running an e-commerce store, these features will allow you to earn money and have SamCart pay for itself quickly.
Affiliate Center
One of the greatest things about selling products online is that you could enlist an whole army of affiliates to promote your stuff. You do not have to spend time promoting your products, nor do you need to spend a dime. You only pay them when they create a purchase for you, if you're able to get affiliates to spread the word. Tool Checkout System
SamCart lets you create your personal army of affiliates which will sell your products for you together with the Affiliate Center. SamCart automatically generates an Affiliate Signup page for you – .
You're going to get a link to this page, which means you may send it out to potential affiliates, place it on your site, or send it out to your own email list. Whenever my email readers go without purchasing anything from me, I invite them to become affiliates. Hey, if they aren't purchasing anything, it's still a way for me to gain from them.
Every time a potential affiliate fills your program, they will be shown a message that their account is"pending approval". You will get a notification that they applied via email when that happens. It have buttons to approve or deny the individual's application. You can set it up to accept affiliates if you'd like.
SamCart's default affiliate commission is 50%. However, you can personalize this payout to. You can pay your affiliates a flat rate commission (a set dollar amount per purchase ) or a proportion. I have had a lot of success by increasing the affiliate for affiliates to provide them an incentive to market even more.
Checkout Pages
Among the coolest things about SamCart is that they have 18 professionally designed templates that are proven to convert. I really don't think the templates ALL are that great, but I do love almost all of them. My favorite is the classic template.
The apparent big advantage here is that the templates are used by other recognized marketers, which means it is possible to avoid the innumerable hours of designing and analyzing your own pages.
All of the templates have hope components like testimonials, warranties, and security reassurances that give your customers the reassurance they need to boost your conversions.
Once you choose your checkout page, you can easily personalize it by changing the colours of the header, footer, buttons, etc.. You might also pick the fields that you want to add and you can add custom bullet points to describe the product your customer is purchasing (I've discovered bullet points to be especially useful, and that's the reason why you see them all of my earnings pages).
All of the pages are cellular responsive, and it is super important in our ever-increasingly mobile globe. One reason I switched over to SamCart was because my checkout page provider was not as responsive as I desired it to be. Tool Checkout System
I do a lot of advertising on Google AdWords, in which most of my traffic comes from cellular. I found that at a rate, which meant I flushed my ad spend down the bathroom, people abandoned with my cart. SamCart assisted my boost my conversions.
Plusthey have a trendy"sandbox" mode, which enables you make sure everything is working before going live with your product. With my shopping cart that is previous, I had to publish everything and then test it. I hated doing this. With SamCart, I can test obligations without going live and without charging your credit card (and messing up your stats).
One Click Upsells
When I told my friends I was writing a SamCart review, they told me that I should stress how amazing their click upsells are, and that I agree.
If you are selling on the internet and you are not offering upsells, you're leaving a great deal of money on the table. In reality, back in 2006, Amazon reported that 35 percent of its earnings were from its efforts that were upselling. Don't you think that it warrants your consideration if Amazon is currently earning that much money from it?
An upsell is a strategy that helps you increase your average order value. You probably upsells the time and do not even know it. It's there as an upsell for those who don't wish to be concerned about maintenance, although you do not HAVE to get the elongated warranty for your car. Restaurants sure like to offer it, although you do not need to have dessert after dinner.
Continuing with the dessert case, those small $8 cakes are not a huge sum of money, but if you're the restaurant selling dozens of them each night, the money adds up.
SamCart makes this process seamless by offering upsells where all of the customer has to do is click a single button and purchase your offer. In accordance with them, SamCart users that utilize one click upsells typically increase their normal customer value by a whopping 68.1 percent. Tool Checkout System

One Page Checkout
This feature is unique as it provides you the ability to include several different payment choices onto one checkout page. For my $997 online course, I use Teachable, and even they don't offer this feature. I must have checkout pages if a customer wants the payment plan. I WISH I could use SamCart for that.
The one page checkout takes multiple payments to a whole new level since it keeps visitors on the page while they decide how to pay. You realize how important it's to keep your traffic on the webpage, if you have ever sold anything online.
Cross Selling Bumps
Cross-selling is a way to market products which are related to the one the client already owns. If a customer purchases a vehicle from you, a cross-sell would be gasoline or car insurance.
You might be familiar with this as bundling. When you bundle auxiliary products and the principal product together, you can increase your profits. McDonald's does so extremely well by purchasing fries and drinks.
Subscription Saver
When I started selling subscription products on the internet, I had been naive enough to believe everyone would pay on time, every moment. I guessed that if I had been good enough honor my duties and to pay my bills, so would everyone else.
Boy, was I naive. Turns out that there are some real losers. Individuals who decline cancel credit cards just to get out of making payments or fees. Your subscription income is gone, usually after this occurs. With any lawful action (such as sending a demand letter… if you've got the client's address) you can't receive your money. Sad.
But now with SamCart, your subscriptions have been safeguarded from diminished obligations and expired credit cards. Whenever a payment fails, SamCart sends your customer an email on your behalf – the email has a link where clients can update the payment they have on file from their inbox. That means you don't need to waste your precious time hounding down your clients.
If a client fails to upgrade the payment advice after several tries, SamCart automatically simplifies the registration. SamCart marks them as"delinquent" on your accounts so you know who they are and so you've got the opportunity to reach out to these customers. Tool Checkout System
A/B Testing
Isn't it weird that people talk about split examining their revenue webpages, their sites that are supersized, their email subject lines, and even more… but they don't ever talk about testing their checkout page?
It appears crazy, right?
If you figure that a large part of your potential customers are abandoning your checkout page, don't you think that a half-decent split test could help you get yet another customer??
I do also.
Fortunately, SamCart offers the capacity to run live split tests. This is wonderful. You may effectively double your earnings In case you've got a abandonment rate and your split-testing snags you just ONE extra customer. Yes, DOUBLE YOUR SALES. Just like this.
SamCart enables you to change almost any setting you need, so you can test any variant that tickles your fancy. It's possible to alter the template, try a different warranty (I have discovered that the longer, the better), remove some fields (I have found the less, the greater ), and more.
As soon as you have your variations created, SamCart mechanically tests involving your own variations. You do not have to do anything except watch the results roll in. You can head over to the"AB Test" part from the item's preferences to see how the variants are doing. As soon as you find a winner, SamCart allows you to easily disable the loser.
The one thing you can not split-test with SamCart is your product's price. Conduct a test between these two products and you are going to need to create two different products, if you would like to do so.
Once it comes to A/B testing, experience tells me that you should test the big stuff first (like completely different templates) and then work your way down to the minute particulars. Oh, and wait till you have a sample size until you call it.
Why Many Pages Suck
Based on what study you read, 80 percent of people That"add to cart" in your website will abandon that cart. If you can get only a small amount of those people to convert, then you will add a substantial quantity of money.
SamCart will help you boost conversions. Tool Checkout System
SamCart's entire value proposition is that their checkout site templates have been tested to the gills and they've been proven to convert better than their competition. You ought to make sure that you're maximizing your conversions, if you sell things online, and SamCart will help you do that.
Plus, many checkout pages are not designed to maximize the total amount of profit that you get from each sell. Things such as upsells and order lumps help you include more profit.
By way of instance, I sell a $97 PDF on my site. I wouldn't be able to bring an upsell, if I used a voucher form. But because I provide an upsell, roughly one out of every three individuals take my supply for $60.
Because of this one simple attribute, I am adding an average of $20 to every single purchase of that product. That's like giving myself over a increase by having that attribute. Which means I can spend an extra $20 on advertising to acquire a customer and grow my business even quicker.
My Beloved SamCart Feature
My Beloved SamCart feature is hands-down the Client and awesome training support they provide. They have tons of videos in what is known as their"Knowledge Base" that teaches you how you can use their applications (even though it's already pretty easy) and they provide a good deal of education on how best to make more cash if you're selling online.
They have a complete library of product info, webinars, tutorials, and much more. The instruction alone is well worth the price. I had to add this fact in my SamCart review.
SamCart Integrations
I didn't get a chance to incorporate SamCart with a Lot of resources, just because I don't use that many. I use use Drip OptinMonster, PayPal and Stripe.
Interested in learning more about OptinMonster? Check out my review . I wrote an overview of that too if you're interested in learning more about Drip.
SamCart lets you seamlessly sync with a bunch of tools, including email, marketing automation, registration, and payment processing. It was easy for me to incorporate my system together with SamCart and I imagine it would be the same for nearly all people out there.
I have been studying on different forums just how easy it was for individuals to integrate Kajabi, Infusionsoft, Hubspot, MailChimp, Aweber, and much more. My toolbox is fairly simple, so I can't talk about this in depth in my SamCart review. Tool Checkout System
How Much Can SamCart Cost?
SamCart has three different strategies:
Basic ($19 per month)
Pro ($99 a month)
Premium ($199 per month)
At the Premium level, SamCart is a complete steal with the features. I've found that the Fundamental is great for many entrepreneurs, but you wish to get the Pro plan if you're doing a lot of business online.
Also keep in mind that if you are looking to save some money, they offer you a discount if you pay annually. I suggest that you make the most of their free trial (to make sure that it's definitely suitable for you) then paying annually to conserve money. If you pay yearly, the Pro plan is $888 per year (which saves you $300) and the Premium plan is $1,788 per year (which saves you $600).
SamCart Supplies a 14-Day Free Trial (and Money-Back Gurantee)
If you're on the fence about attempting SamCart, they Provide a free trial.
This usually means that you can try them out absolutely free, and if they don't make you more money than your previous cart (or you simply hate it for some reason) then you can fire them. You can cancel and walk off.
Plusthey have a 30-day 100% money-back guarantee anyway, further reducing the danger.
According to SamCart, the average SamCart seller makes up to 5X over the ordinary seller on different platforms. What do you need to lose? Begin now. Tool Checkout System
