How to Get New Clients for a Law Firm
Getting New Clients for a Law Firm
Despite the increased importance of the internet, digital marketing and social media, today the way people look for lawyers is not that different to a hundred years ago. A 2015 study in the USA found that people generally still find a lawyer through existing relationships and recommendations. The study found that the most effective form of marketing for lawyers is still word-of-mouth.
This can make it hard for legal firms to adapt and reach out to younger generations or other demographics they have not served before.
Shifting Sands
However, there is some light at the end of the tunnel. We can also see from the survey that younger and wealthier clients are using the internet more to find legal representation. The two major exceptions to the results for for people aged 18 – 24 (with a potential lifetime of legal needs ahead of them) were much more likely to search online for a lawyer, with 17.8% of respondents in this category using the web to find and retain a lawyer.
Wealthier clients, those earning over $150,000 per year were also more likely to search the web for a lawyer than ask a friend. The survey asked people the question when you need to find a specialty lawyer how would you start your search?
Just look at this infographic put together by Moses & Rooth with data used from Google Consumer Surveys. Although the data is from 2015, in talking to clients and listening to call data, I felt it relevant to share. Take a look:
Infographic By the Orlando criminal defense attorneys at Moses & Rooth, Attorneys at Law.
As we can see face-to-face is still the preferred way to find a lawyer. However, search is now in at number two and it can still be tough to reach out to and attract these shifting demographics which are more likely to turn to the web to find their legal services. As such, getting the right digital marketing strategy in place can be crucial to securing these clients.
Digital Marketing Strategy for Lawyers
The first thing to understand is how did the client find you?
The most important factor for a customer looking for a law firm is trust. If they have come to you through family and friends they know they can trust you. If someone finds you by searching online, how do they know they can trust your firm and lawyers?
We also know that some online visits will come from word-of-mouth recommendations.
A 2014 study by law firms Beaton Global, found clients tend to be very loyal once they have found a lawyer or law firm they can trust. Getting and building that trust needs to tie into your digital strategy. Online trust is vital. Adverts, PPC and good SEO strategy can all help point people to your business but they do not establish trust.
We can see from studies the importance of trust in these relationships. So as a law firm, how can you build trust?
Content Builds Awareness and Trust
Editorial content on your site can help to build trust in your business and legal services. It has been found to be the only form of advertising which gains customers trust. You can see this displayed it the Nielsen Global Trust in Advertising Report.
Professionally written content as well as high quality information which is displayed in an easy to digest and easy to navigate way on your website is incredibly important for building trust. To leverage this fully you need to create a content plan.
Writing a regular legal blog as well as engaging on social media platforms, discussing current events or types of cases (without specific detail) allows you to show of your expertise before fully engaging with the client. This type of content is trusted more as people feel they are not being sold to or asked to do anything.
In essence, they feel like they are getting something from you for free.
Think of your online content strategy as being similar to giving lectures or speaking at conferences. Both are designed to relay your expertise in a particular field. As in the real world, do in the online world.
Leverage Social Media
As we looked at, part of effectively engaging with people in the online sphere is to also use social media. A survey by Byfield Consultancy found that more than 50% of law firms have gained a client as a direct result of engaging on social media. It can be a simple yet potent way to quickly communicate with people across the country.
Even using a digital agency to manage your profiles, social media can still be an excellent return on investment.
The biggest barrier to using social media as a law firm is asking staff to have disclaimers on social media profiles and concerns around potential breaches of confidentiality online. Individuals might be better at using social media than firms on the whole.
Another issue in using social media as a law firm is establishing trust with potential and current clients.
Search Engine Ads and PPC
Paid-for adverts on search engines are one of the most trusted forms of online advertising, aside from professional content. The big downside as a lawyer is that there will be a lot of competition for these adverts and as such, they can be expensive.
Google and other search engines like Yahoo or Bing all offer Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising packages.
These appear when someone types in a specific keyword or phrase. Legal terms are some of the most competitive and expensive on all three platforms. Generic terms can cost hundreds of dollars to secure. Niche keywords and phrases might cost even more than these.
PPC ads can be successful for legal firms. It will place your advert right at the top or front of the page. You just need to find the right keywords for your business and specific legal services. Law firms can do better when they differentiate themselves and focus on niche key phrases or words.
Think about the service your offer and how a client might go about searching for that service.
These are the phrases you need to look at using.
A good overall digital marketing strategy will help you legal business reach out and find new clients.

2016 2017 2018 (!) could be the year this blog rises from its own ashes. Stay tuned!
"I appreciate people's opinions, but I'm more interested in news," the president said. "And the best way to get the news is from objective sources, and the most objective sources I have are people on my staff who tell me what's happening in the world."Right. Cuz when you think objective you immediately think Rumsfeld and Rice and Ashcroft.

19 June. It was expected with the BJP coming to power. And it is happening! Now face it for the price of it!
This is not the first time. On the day Modi's victory rally was taken in Mangalore, two mosques were attacked. On the next day, two more churches in Mangalore-Udupi were attacked. And now in Chattishgarh.
Constitutional, secular, and democratic, fibre of India is changing fast; this time in the name of "democracy"!
———— Now to the reading ———–
Christians attacked, hospitalized in Chhattisgarh
New Delhi: Ten Christians have been hospitalized in Chhattisgarh after they were attacked by suspected Hindu radicals, according to information reaching the national capital.
The All India Christian Council (AICC) Thursday announced that the ecumenical lay organization is conducting an independent probe into the incident that occurred the previous day in a village in Bastar district.
The council received a message from Debendra Singh, a pastor of Apostolic Christian Assembly based at Odisha's Jeypore, that the Christians were attacked in Nabadiguda, a village some 40 km from Jagdalpur. He said a group of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh activists from the same village attacked the Christians.
The victims have been admitted to Jagdalpur Government Hospital where the condition of four was stated to be serious requiring special care.
According to the pastor, the RSS group had demanded that the Christians convert back to Hinduism that the victims refused. The Hindu radicals had earlier allegedly taken away the Christians' ration cards and asked them to leave the village.
Singh quoted another pastor based in Chhattisgarh that four persons were severely injured. "Since they are poor, the patients are not able to move to better hospital," his note to AICC said.

Homemade Dishwasher Detergent
Homemade dishwasher detergent is something I have wanted to make for awhile now. This year, I am trying to make my own natural products as much as possible, including dishwasher detergent. However, there are 3 things I require of the natural products. I need them to be:
- Inexpensive
- Effective
- Simple
I have tried a few recipes and finally found one that meets all 3 requirements. With this detergent and the very simple rinse aid, your dishes will shine (as will you, knowing how much money you're saving!).
Homemade Dishwasher Detergent
- 1/2 Cup Baking Soda (or Washing Soda)
- 1/2 Cup Borax
- 1/4 Cup Kosher Salt
- 1/4 Cup Citric Acid (or 2 unsweetened Lemon Kool-Aid Packets)
Step 1: Turn your baking soda into washing soda.
Washing soda can be tricky to find (usually in laundry aisles) and I haven't found it in bulk (making it costly). I stumbled upon Penny's blog, which explains the easiest way to turn baking soda into washing soda.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes
- Stir occasionally
- The baking soda will turn sort of grainy – voila!
Step 2: Pour 1/2 cup washing soda into mixing bowl.
Washing soda is sodium carbonate and it cuts grease and neutralizes odour. Approximate cost per batch: 40 cents. Best price I've found: Bulk Barn (baking soda only).
Step 3: Pour 1/2 cup Borax into mixing bowl.
Borax is a natural detergent and stain fighter. It occurs naturally and can also be man made. Approximate cost per batch: 50 cents. Best price I have found: Walmart.
Step 4: Pour 1/4 cup kosher salt into mixing bowl.
Kosher salt is thick, granular salt and acts as a gentle scrubber for your dishes. Approximate cost per batch: 35 cents. Best price I have found: Bulk Barn.
Step 5: Pour 1/4 cup citric acid (or 2 Kool Aid packets) into mixing bowl.
Citric acid is a natural fruit acid which acts as a water softener allowing the detergent to clean better. Approximate cost per batch of 2 Kool-Aid packets: $1.20. Best price I have found: Walmart (especially in the summer).
Step 6: Mix well and store in an airtight container.
Use 1 tablespoon per load of dishes.
Homemade Rinse Agent
- Lemon Juice (a squirt)
- Dish Soap (3 drops)
- Vinegar (about 1/2 cup)
Note: I freeze the lemon juice and dish soap with a bit of water in ice cube trays for convenience.
Simply drop one frozen cube and the vinegar on the bottom of the dishwasher before starting.
I have had such wonderful success with this detergent. I feel good knowing it is natural, great knowing it is simple, and wonderful knowing it's inexpensive.
I have calculated the approximate cost of a 24 load batch and the price is only $2.45!

Commentaries on this Media!
Media indictmentby Critical Commons Manager
Mainstream media are implicated in the violent mistreatment of women in this scene from Born in Flames. After a group of whistle-blowing feminists on ten speed bicycles foils an attempted broad daylight assault in New York City, a news broadcast reports that women vigilantes are in fact terrorizing innocent men on the street. This egregious miscarriage of journalistic responsibility provides part of the justification for later blowing up the broadcast antenna on top of the World Trade Center towers.

2017 01798. The Week They Decided Donald Trump Was Crazy. Melania Trump like you've never seen her before. Donald Trump thinks his wife will be a model first lady — and here's the proof.
Decades before she was sporting designer dresses on the stage of the Republican National Convention as Mrs. Trump, Melania Knauss posed nude in a photo spread for a now-defunct French men's magazine, The Post has learned. The leggy, Slovenian-born model — then 25 years old and known by her professional moniker Melania K. — did the steamy photo session in Manhattan in 1995, according to Alé de Basseville, the French photographer who shot the sexy snaps. (Photographer Alé de Basseville later told The Post that he misspoke, and the photo session actually took place in 1996 in Manhattan, and appeared in a 1997 issue of the magazine.)
The images, some rarely seen and others never published, were obtained exclusively by The Post. Melania Trump's nude pics are blowing New Yorkers' minds. Melania Trump's nude pics are blowing New Yorkers' minds The New York Post got exclusive nude modeling photos of potential first lady Melania Trump.

This terrifying subway ceiling collapse could have been so much worse Rio opens the Olympics with rubber bullets and tear gas. Larry J. Sabato's Crystal Ball. The Trumpmare: Can the Republicans Save the Senate?
Larry J. Sabato and Kyle Kondik, Sabato's Crystal Ball March 3rd, 2016 Let's have some speculative fun, if such a thing is possible in this election year. After recent primaries, it's not a stretch to imagine Donald Trump as the Republican presidential nominee; in fact, the odds at the moment favor this outcome. Now, add a second, more controversial projection: Trump loses the general election handily to Hillary Clinton.
Yet the conclusion isn't our concoction as much as it is the rather strong belief — and fear — of major GOP officeholders at the national level, as the New York Times reported in an excellent piece over the weekend. We'll revisit this subject many times before November, and it is vital to recall that six months ago, virtually everyone in public office and in the election analysis business dismissed Trump as a flash in the pan who could never be nominated. How does a Trump nomination change the Crystal Ball Senate map? The GOP's destruction of its own party. "If he was for it, we had to be against it." former U.S.
Sen. George Voinovich quoted in 'The New New Deal' by Michael Grunwald The "he" is President Obama. The "we" is the Republican Party. The GOP is an incoherent mess. The situation is so objectively and transparently grim that many on the right no longer even bother to spin it. "It would be terrible," wrote Wall Street Journal columnist Bret Stephens last week, "to think that the left was right about the right all these years."
But it can be argued that Trump is less the cause than an inevitable effect of the party's looming disintegration. The popular storyline goes that voters are seeking political outsiders this year in their frustration over a government where the legislative gears are frozen and nothing gets done. Republicans and their media accomplices buttressed that strategy with a campaign of insult and disrespect designed to delegitimize Obama. And the strategy worked, hobbling and frustrating Obama.

Technical Paper
Measured Laboratory and In-Use Fuel Economy Observed over Targeted Drive Cycles for Comparable Hybrid and Conventional Package Delivery Vehicles
This research project compares the in-use and laboratory-derived fuel economy of a medium-duty hybrid electric drivetrain with "engine off at idle" capability to a conventional drivetrain in a typical commercial package delivery application. Vehicles in this study included eleven model year 2010 Freightliner P100H hybrids that were placed in service at a United Parcel Service (UPS) facility in Minneapolis, Minn., during the first half of 2010. These hybrid vehicles were evaluated for 18 months against eleven model year 2010 Freightliner P100D diesels that were placed in service at the same facility a couple months after the hybrids. Both vehicle study groups use the same model year 2009 Cummins ISB 200 HP engine. The vehicles of interest were chosen by comparing the average daily mileage of the hybrid group to that of a similar size and usage diesel group.

"Arming the Good Guys?": An Examination of Racial Framing in Students for Concealed Carry on Campus
MetadataShow full item record
Over the last several decades, issues relating to gun rights have received growing attention from the academic community. Much of this research focuses on the importance of masculinity and violence and shaping modern gun culture in the United States. While these studies are important, they fail to analyze the importance of race in development of the modern gun rights organization. Addressing this gap in the literature, I engaged in 30 in-depth interviews with members of the student-based gun rights organization Students for Concealed Carry on Campus (SCCC). Based on my conversations with the members of SCCC, I discovered a very intense pro-white/anti-other racial framing guiding much of SCCC membership.

Application Engine and Command Line
By Ashwin on Friday 22 August 2008, 06:23 - Application Engine - Permalink
More often than not I had situations where I needed to literally step through the application engine looking at the sections
More often than not I had situations where I needed to literally step through the application engine looking at the sections and steps that got executed under different conditions just to confirm if the logic applied to build the Application Engine (AE) was right or wrong.
So here are the steps and parameters I use to do just.
First, you need to set PSAE.exe which actually initiates your AE in your environment variables. I am assuming you are using Windows XP.
How would you set the path to point to the folder which houses PSAE?
1. Right Click on My Computer on your desktop and then click on Properties.
2. Click on the Advanced tab.
3. Click on Environment Variables.
4. Under System Variables look for Path.
5. Double Click that entry and append (I said append not overwrite) the folder path which has PSAE. On my system I had the executable under " C:\PT8.46\bin\client\winx86 ".
Now that you have everything setup to debug your application engine open the command prompt.
Type psae and press enter. If you get a message like : Invalid command line argument list. Usage: psae -CT <dbtype> -CS <server> -CD <database name> -CO <oprid> -CP <oprpswd> -R <run control id> -AI <program id> -I <process instance> -DEBUG <Y|N> -DR <Y|N> -TRACE <value> -DBFLAGS <value> -TOOLSTRACESQL <value> -TOOLSTRACEPC <value> -OT <output type> -OF <output format> -FP <file path> or psae <parmfile> -(RE)CONVERT <product>.<appl id> (e.g. AE.TESTAPPL)
Congratulations you have just finished the first hurdle.
If you notice the error you get on the screen is quite intuitive.
Of all the options mentioned -CT, -CD, -CO, -CP, -R, and -AI are mandatory to get your application engine working.
Note: The order of these parameters is immaterial.
If you are trying to restart an application which had abended for some reason by supplying the correct UserID, pwd, run control id and process instance you can rerun the application engine.
If you want to step through each and every step that the AE would execute in real-time just plug in the -Debug option.
Once you are in the Debug mode and have initiated your application engine to know what choices you have just type '?' for help.
Hope this helps.

Triple axe murder accused Henri van Breda is back on the witness stand on Monday as the defence's final witness.
The State has been trying to establish how Van Breda sustained injuries to his back.
EWN reporter, Monique Mortlock, says Van Breda claims he couldn't remember how he sustained the scratches and bruises on his back, saying it could've been when he fell down the stairs while running after the attacker.
He claims he ran after the attacker after he ran from the room where his mother and father were killed.— Monique Mortlock, EWN reporter
He threw an axe on the attacker which landed on the side of the wall by the stairs and he fell down the stairs.— Monique Mortlock, EWN reporter
Prosecutor Susan Galloway argued that the injuries on his back came from his younger sister, Marli, fighting him off, but he has denied this.
State experts said that the injuries on his chest and arms are indicative of self-inflicted wounds.
The State also pressed Van Breda on why it took him a long time to call emergency services and why he first called his girlfriend at the time, Bianca van der Westhuizen.
To hear the rest of the interview, listen below:

It's that time of year again when rehearsals for Christmas services are ramping up and everyone is working on their best O Come All Ye Faithful chops for Christmas morning. On top of which everyone is shopping like mad for presents for friends and family. But have you thought about getting presents for your worship team? Christmas and Easter are the times the worship team has to work the hardest with extra practises and so on so why not show your appreciation with a gift that they can actually use to bless the team and the congregation.
No matter whether they're just starting out on the Guitar or have been playing long enough to develop perfect pitch everyone needs a decent electronic tuner. Just like when you're in the studio it's important to banish the notion that tuning by ear is okay because if everyone in the band tunes by ear and everyone is slightly wrong, the sound is going to be a mess. A good tuner like the Boss TU-80 will keep your band in perfect tune and is compact enough to slip in a gig bag. The TU-80 also has another trick up its sleeve: a built in metronome with an output so you could put a click through an amp or PA during rehearsals or in headphones during a service. Bang in tune and bang on time (hey that's what we all want from our musicians right?)!
Something everyone wants to banish from our music teams: dodgy guitar cables! From crackles and pops through to squealing, a guitar cable dying during a reflective Sunday morning ought to be a thing of the past! There's a lot of hyper surrounding premium guitar cables that can cost a staggering amount of money, justified with 'gold plated this' and 'oxygen free that' but in the 48 years we've been trading we've only come across one premium guitar cable that we think is worth its price tag: Whirlwind cables are fantastic value and they'll hold their own against cables that cost three times as much! The best bit is that Whirlwind cables are backed by a lifetime warranty. So your guitarist can have a cable they know they can rely on for life!
Lastly if they're an electric guitarist why not encourage them to try and find some new sounds with effects pedals? The great thing about giving an effects pedal is that you're the one that gets to decide what that new sound will be like! Overdrives, Choruses, Delays and Reverbs all work well in a worship setting and these are all available for around fifty pounds from our range of Mooer pedals. Mooer aren't as famous a name as say Boss but we think the value for money on offer from Mooer (which are metal pedals with true bypass, almost unheard of at this price!) simple can't be beat!
So take this opportunity to show your band how much you appreciate them and the extra work they put in this time of year whether it be with a Christmas gift for a guitarist or even just a card! The suggestions I've made and loads of others besides can be found and bought on Anderton's Gift Ideas for Guitarists page so go check it out!
Thanks to Mark for these recommendations. We have a few of our own here.

Nicaragua: Communities opposing canal face persecution for defending livelihoods & land, says new Amnesty International report
This report by Amnesty International analyses potential impacts of the Great Interoceanic Canal project in Nicaragua, including threats to livelihoods and risk of forced displacement of thousands of families. These impacts, according to local groups, could affect nearly 120,000 people. Amnesty International found that the project was approved without genuine consultation with all affected populations and accuses authorities of harassing and persecuting anyone who opposes the deal.
The report includes recommendations for authorities, companies and possible investors.

Many people who are original French speakers would like to know, understand and speak the French language. It is not because they do not love their language but because by learning more languages, you embrace the diversity as well as promoting each other's culture. It is good to know at least extra languages apart from the one you ordinarily speak. This will also help you minimize the difficulties you might have when you want to communicate with people of the other language. For instance, if you live or you attend classes which are primarily taught in French, then you will have no choice rather than reading, understanding and practicing the French language. However, if you want to understand and learn about the language faster, then there are ways in which you can follow, and some of them are explained below.
The first formula you can use is through using the internet. If you are attending either French classes or you want to understand more of the language, you can use the internet to study the French video clips and written materials. This will help you understand the French alphabets easily and know how to pronounce them before you come to the real class. There is quite some video clips found online explaining how to pronounce French words as well as how to write them. You only need to have access to a computer or even your smartphone. With either of these two devices, then you can easily access the internet and using the internet browser software installed on the device, your search for the online French classes and guidance. This will lead you to several websites where the French-related materials which are written or spoken in the French language have been published. This will help you get access to the materials, and you can spare some by buying and downloading from the internet to be revising while alone and that will help you grasp the alphabets quickly. Learn more from this site.
The other way in which you can learn the French language is through using your close friends. Whether you are attending a French class or you want to learn and understand it outside the class, you can always inquire about the skills from your friends. Someone in your family, someone you work with or even someone you schooled with or you are schooling with might be understanding the French. This person can be very resourceful to you regarding teaching you the language. View here for more info.

Art Direction & Design
So you think you want to be an art director? Maybe you devoured comic books as a kid, sucked in by the beautifully drawn graphics, poring over the pages not so much for the story, but for the wonderful artwork. You look at things in our visual world and ask, "Why'd they make it that way?" telling yourself you could do better.
Everywhere you look, you notice the little things, like typeface choices in advertisements, opening credits and films. You delight in discovering hidden symbols in clever logo design. You often judge books by their cover. You concern yourself with color theory when you match your indigo blue jeans with your perfectly faded tangerine-colored vintage concert t-shirt before you dash out to face the day. You later doodle a really cool tiger wearing sunglasses on said pair of jeans with a ballpoint pen while having a conversation with your academic advisor.
You know you're a different sort. Design matters to you. You know it has the power to influence, change minds, organize and make our drab little planet a happier place on which to dwell. Perhaps most importantly, you only use Comic Sans ironically.
Students who identify with these thoughts will find themselves at home in the art direction interest area of strategic communication. Through the area's focused coursework, students will learn to think strategically and visually. They will hone their design skills as they are taught how to take an original idea from concept to completion. Students also will learn to collaborate with or lead a team effectively. In the process, they will develop a professional portfolio or "book," which is the passport into the creative side of the communication business.
Within that business, they can expect varied design opportunities. They will create graphics, layouts, animations and a multitude of visual solutions for print, digital and video mediums. Designers often are tasked with composing advertisements, directing photoshoots, storyboarding commercials, developing logos, building brands, creating packaging, designing websites, and developing user interface and experience.
Skill sets valued in art direction and design
- Strong technical skills in design software
(Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator)
- Imagination
- Creativity
- Versatility
- Mental dexterity
- Clever wit
- Non-conformity
- Fearless thinking
- Divergent thinking
- Strategic thinking

I'm going to tell you a secret. It's not my favorite, but it is necessary, my nearly foolproof recipe for making fast friends with girls:
- Introduce yourself by name and ask theirs and remember it
- Pay them a genuine, but surface-y compliment that you actually mean and look in their eyes so they know you mean it because people can tell when you don't mean compliments
- Somehow segue the convo into boys/relationships, finding a connection point on either a recent rejection or a recent connection (Just be like, "So. Tell me about the last interaction you had with another human.")
- Invite them to eat some fresh-baked pastries with you (to commiserate or celebrate)
You should have enough to go on by that point that the conversation can flow naturally onto other, more meaningful things because let's be real: Girls + boys + food + fashion? The essential building blocks of girl small talk. I say "nearly foolproof" because I have, on occasion, run into a few girls who are under age two, and their articulation is poor, so the friendship-making skills are more of a mystery to me.
For the pastries part, nothin' like a muffin to welcome new house-dwellers. Previous new roommate muffin time here. My two new roommates will walk into the kitchen and say things like, "You're in here…again?" Clueless lol. But in a nice way.
These reminded me of the way England does fairy cakes. Just a thick glaze, no buttercream swirls necessary. I baked these on the first Saturday morning that all the fairies were together in the house, soaking in the morning sunshine and trading boy stories.
Trying to get after these babies again, I included juice and chia seeds. They weren't quite as moist as last time, no idea why, but the glaze was jamming. And these are muffins, so breakfast.
Small talking,
Glazed Chia Grapefruit Ginger Muffins

Conference calling has been a staple in business environments for decades as it helps to efficiently bring together both internal and external stakeholders from virtually anywhere. Despite the proven benefits of conferencing calling, such as accessibility and simplicity, this powerful communication tool remains plagued with several issues that often make conferencing calling efforts ineffective.
The use of video in the enterprise continues to grow due to the rise of millennials in the workforce and also because of the usability of video. From one-on-one employee onboarding and training to large all-hands meetings, enterprises are now relying on video to bring people together, to strengthen connections, and to build productive teams.
A common adage is that a picture is worth a thousand words. But when it comes to business, video could be worth a whole lot more. Organizations of all sizes are discovering the tremendous benefits of using video in the workplace--from removing distance barriers to enabling efficient collaboration among teams.

text: River Plate held by Chacarita Juniors, Racing victorious again, Banfield edge Newell's & Defensa y Justicia claim three points in Tucuman (VIDEO) March 5, 2018 · by pedrocoates · in atletico tucuman, banfield, Chacarita Juniors, defensa y justicia, goals, newells old boys, racing, river plate, superliga 2017/18, Uncategorized, velez. · Even in the middle of a terrible run of form, a home fixture against relegation bound Chacarita Juniors was supposed to provide River Plate with an opportunity to pick up what would have been only a third win in fifteen Superliga fixtures. However, Los Funebreros had other ideas and managed to frustrate Marcelo Gallardo's under performing side and claim a 1-1 draw in El Monumental. River had their visitors on the back foot from kick off as expected and probably should have had a penalty within the opening two minutes when Ignacio Scocco was tripped by goalkeeper Pedro Fernández but were instead made to wait until shortly before the break. Nicolás de la Cruz dashed in behind and was bundled over by Hernán Petryk prompting referee Hernán Mastrángelo to point to the spot. Scocco made no mistake but instead of heading back to the locker room boosted by the lead, River allowed Chacarita to immediately draw level, Nahuel Menéndez bundling his way through to fire past Franco Armani. It could have been worse for River had Matías Rodríguez not managed to miss an open from a couple of yards out shortly after the restart and while Ignacio Fernández and Camilo Mayada both hit the woodwork, River's lack of creativity and ideas in the final third was again clear. Since the end of October only Lanús have picked up less points than River and sitting down in 21st, eight points off the last Copa Sudamericana spot and eleven away from the Copa Libertadores places, Los Millonarios hopes of qualifying for continental competition in 2019 via the league are looking slim. River Plate 1 – 1 Chacarita Juniors While River are floundering, Racing Club continue to ride the crest of a wave and managed to grind out a fifth consecutive Superliga victory against Vélez Sarsfield at the Cilindro. With Jorge Sampaoli once more in attendance it took striker Lautaro Martínez five minutes to notch yet another goal as Vélez foolishly opted to leave the 20-year-old unmarked to head in from a corner, his eleventh in ten games. This Racing side will always allow chances and goalkeeper Juan Musso needed to be in top form to preserve the lead until half time. However, the 23-year-old could do nothing as Mauro Zárate headed Vélez level shortly before the hour mark. Minutes later and Racing captain Lisandro López was shown a red card for a kick at Hernán de la Fuente with the Vélez full-back harshly joining him. Ten against ten and the in-form Ricardo Centurión re-established Racing's lead with a thumping header before Vélez's Braian Cufré was shown a red and Racing's Leonardo Sigali made it two apiece. Neither were deserved as Patricio Loustau, chosen to referee the upcoming superclasico, lost control in the closing stages. The four red cards may have provided the talking points but Racing's resurgence continues thanks to the talents of Martínez and Centurión goes from strength to strength. Racing Club 2 – 1 Vélez Sarsfield Earlier on Sunday, Banfield managed to see off the challenge of Newell's Old Boys thanks to Darío Cvitanich's first half goal but were made to work hard after Enzo Kalinski's red card early shortly after the break. Omar de Felippe was watching from the stands but after watching Newell's struggle to break down ten-man Banfield, the new manager will know just how difficult his job in Rosario will be. And in Tucumán, Defensa y Justicia scored an impressive 1-0 win on the road as Ciro Rius tapped in the only goal of the game. Atlético were honouring club icon Luis Rodríguez but unable to find an opener, the visitors spoiled the party 20 minutes from time as Augusto Batalla kept out Fernando Márquez's iniital shot only for Horacio Tijanovich to roll the rebound into the path of Rius for a simple tap-in. Banfield 1 – 0 Newell's Old Boys Atlético Tucumán 0 – 1 Defensa y Justicia Share this:TwitterFacebookEmailPrintLinkedInRedditLike this:Like Loading... Related

About Becky
I have been involved in the real estate industry since 1986 when the owner of a real estate company in California convinced me to become a licensed agent. My family is heavily entrenched in the local real estate industry also. My husband, Joe, is a local appraiser and has been appraising homes since 1992. When we moved to the Havasu area in the late 90's, I began working at Selman & Associates while Joe began appraising homes in Lake Havasu City. I am fluent in Spanish and have helped a number of Spanish speaking families with their home purchase. As one of very few realtors in Havasu with this skill, I am an indispensable asset to Selman & Associates. My favorite part of my career as a realtor is connecting with the clients. My husband and I have two amazing boys and I love being a mom.

BELMONT — The five candidates vying for the official nomination of the Democratic Party in the 23rd Congressional District gathered for a Meet the Candidates Night at Genesee Valley Central School on Thursday.
With the goal of unseating current representative Tom Reed, candidates Linda Andrei, Max Della Pia, Ian Golden, Tracy Mitrano and Eddie Sundquist met with a little more than 100 interested voters.
Dividing into five circles of interest – agriculture, economy and job growth, rural environment, social security/Medicare/health care/opioid crisis and young people's issues, the candidates answered questions from 20 people at a time for 13 minute intervals before going on to the next circle of interest.
Discussing economy and job growth, Golden, answering questions posed by Dave Toot and Joe Tecza, said that to promote job growth and the economy that he would look at current policies and try to work with the area's strengths. He also proposed encouraging cultural growth to attract workers to the area.
"In Corning, Corning Inc., subsidizes most of the events attracting people to downtown Corning. Local businesses need to take a part in that to help attract people to our rural areas, so that they want to move here to work," he said.
Golden is the owner of several small businesses, and if elected plans to focus his attention on the economy, health care, and cleaning up the government.
Also addressing jobs and the economy, Andrei answered Toot's question concerning the retention and support of local hospitals.
Andrei said a single-payer healthcare system would help increase efficiency and provide more dollars for hospitals and clinics. She also expressed her belief in the need for a WPA (Works Progress Administration) like program to put people to work, improve work skills, repair infrastructure, and develop water, wind, thermal and biomass skills and technologies.
Andrei is a retired physician who worked in rural areas. She is committed to addressing what she believes is the major issue of our time, health care, which intersects with economics, education and safety.
When asked how she thinks she can win in rural Allegany and Steuben counties, she answered by saying she believes in listening to people and their concerns, learning about their fears and their lifestyles and not arguing with them.
Tracy Mitrano, addressing the social security, Medicare, health care and the opioid crisis, said that she also believes in a single payer health care system. She also believes, she said, in bringing down the age of Medicare eligibility.
Addressing the opioid crisis, she said that she personally knows three people who have overdosed on opioids.
"This is an issue that gets me angry. We've known the addictive properties of opioids for decades. I think it is crucial for Congress to hold hearings and work with the attorney generals of each state to get these drug companies to pay for the rehabilitation and the beds needed and help end this crisis," she said.
Mitrano is an expert in cyber security and believes her combination of working class roots, knowledge of higher education and her IT expertise will help her win the 23rd District.
Della Pia believes in integrity first, service before self and excellence in all that he does. A retired Air Force Colonel, he has worked in the private sector as an attorney and in business development for Lockheed Martin.
Addressing the environment, Della Pia said, "There is a clear scientific consensus that climate change is driven by human activity and that it threatens global prosperity, health and security."
He went on to explain that he will work to make the U.S. a global leader against climate change and that he would like to see the district positioned to compete in the area of renewable energy technology to provide both economic and environmental benefits.
Comparing himself to other millennials, Eddie Sundquist, the Jamestown native who is the youngest candidate running for the nomination, said that he understands the crushing debt that people in his generation are facing.
Addressing healthcare, Sundquist said he is committed to working towards a Medicare for all solution that will help families, rural hospitals and small businesses across the district.
He said, "Washington has become an opaque dumping ground where money flows through hidden channels, lining the pockets of politicians, lobbyists and donors. I won't take corporate PAC money."

Secure Your Home With These Valuable Tips.
All homeowners need to educate themselves about home security. While there is much to learn, it is vital you do so. This article can help you glean the most important pieces of information that can help you develop the most effective home security plan.
If you happen to lose your keys change your locks right away. There is no telling where your keys are and if someone has them, they may end up paying your house an uninvited visit. Changing your locks is a much better option and can assure that your house is safe from losing your keys.
Install a peep hole so that you can see who is at your door before you open it. Criminals will knock at a door so that they can push past you when you open it. You should never open a door without knowing the person that is on the other side of it.
At the end of the night, close the drapes and blinds to your home. In addition to giving you more privacy, this blocks the valuable items in your house from view. Keeping your blinds open only serves as an open invitation to anyone who wants to take something from your house.
Carefully consider where you hide your outside spare key. Never put a spare key under a doormat or above a door jam. A better place to keep your key is inside your outside dog's collar.
Having a good sized dog can make for a great home security system and deterrent to criminals who are considering breaking into your house. Even if you do not have a dog, buying a couple "beware of the dog" signs can be enough to deter people from robbing your house.
Refrain from using candles in your house unless it is absolutely necessary. If you do burn a candle, make sure that you blow it out when you are completed. It is vital that no burning flame is left unattended because one slip can destroy your home and potential hurt your loved ones.
If you are a smoker, put out your cigarette in a cup of water to prevent a fire hazard. This should be done before you put it in the trash, as you run the risk of the bud not burning out when you rub it in your ashtray. Smoke outside to reduce all risk of a fire occurring in your home.
Never let a stranger inside. Even if they tell you a sob story about needing help, this warning remains true. Some people will simply knock on your door to see whether or not there is a security system installed, and if there isn't, they may target you later when you're away.
Skylights could be a problem for the safety of your home. Intruders could use skylights to enter your home. Make sure your skylights have reliable, heavy duty hardware in place.
If you are unsure whether you should purchase a hard-wired or wireless home security system, call a local home security company for advice. It is important to consider the pros and cons of both systems before making a decision. It will take a representative approximately an hour to evaluate your home before giving an opinion.
If you work from home or have your own business, do not put your address or phone number on your website. Disgruntled customers or thieves could come to your home and try to get inside. Instead, get a post office box and have customers or associates send you mail to this address.
It will be well worth your time to learn about ways to make your home safer. You need to sift through the mounds of information available to find the reliable tips you can use. You should use the information presented in this article to find an ideal home security system.

∙ Fowler won two NCAA Division III National Champions as an assistant coach at Gettysburg after winning one as a student-athlete at Hamilton.
∙ Under Fowler's direction, Gettysburg's goalies finished in the top five in the nation in goals-against average each of the past three seasons and led the nation in save percentage in 2018.
∙ Fowler graduated from Hamilton College in 2010 after four years as a dual-sport student-athlete and went on to serve as an assistant coach at Connecticut College.
∙ "We will build on the strong tradition emblematic of Shorewomen Lacrosse and elevate the program to new heights …"
CHESTERTOWN, Md. — Three-time NCAA Division III National Champion Kate Fowler is the new head coach of the Washington College women's lacrosse team. Fowler, who won her first national championship as a student-athlete at Hamilton College, had served as an assistant coach at Gettysburg College for the past five seasons, helping lead the Bullets to back-to-back national titles.
"I am honored and beyond excited to be named the next women's lacrosse coach at Washington College and would like to extend my appreciation to Director of Athletics Thad Moore and the entire search committee for offering me the opportunity to stay in the Centennial Conference and lead this outstanding group of young women," states Fowler.
"We are very happy to welcome Kate to our family," remarks Moore. "During her interview, it became very apparent that she is a tremendous fit for not only our women's lacrosse team but our department and college as a whole. She has been successful during every step of her athletic career and we are looking forward to her continuing that success as she leads our women's lacrosse team."
In Fowler's five seasons as an assistant coach at Gettysburg, the Bullets went 94-15, winning Centennial Conference Championships in 2014, 2016, and 2018, and NCAA Division III National Championships in 2017 and 2018. During that span, Gettysburg women's lacrosse student-athletes earned a total of nine All-America and 31 All-Centennial Conference honors. Fowler assisted in all aspects of the program, including practice planning and execution, scouting, recruiting, academic oversight, and strength and conditioning. She also was directly responsible for oversight of the team's goalkeepers and her work there paid great dividends; the Bullets finished in the top five in all of Division III in goals-against average each of the past three seasons and led the nation in save percentage this past spring.
"I would be remiss in not thanking Carol Cantele, Barb Jordan, and the rest of the athletic staff at Gettysburg College," Fowler reflects. "I'm indebted to them for their mentorship and would not be where I am today without their support for the last five years."
Prior to arriving at Gettysburg, Fowler spent two seasons as an assistant women's lacrosse coach at Connecticut College, overseeing the team's defense and goalies. In her second season, she directed the Camels' defense to its lowest goals-against average in 12 years. While at Connecticut College, she also served as a goalkeeper coach for the women's soccer team for one season and served as an athletics department intern, assisting with facilities management and game management.
Fowler's lacrosse coaching and instructional experience also includes time working at a number of camps, clinics, and showcases in New England and the Mid-Atlantic. During her time at Gettysburg, she was responsible for organizing and executing the Bullets' annual 5v5 Tournament, Fall Prospect Day, and Summer Girls' Lacrosse Camp.
A two-sport collegiate student-athlete, Fowler played four years as a goalkeeper in both lacrosse and soccer at Hamilton College, serving as a team captain in both sports as a senior. In lacrosse, she helped lead the Continentals to four consecutive Liberty League Championships and three consecutive appearances in the NCAA Division III Semifinals. The Continentals won the 2008 NCAA Division III Championship and finished as the national runners-up in 2010; Fowler was named to the NCAA All-Tournament Team during both of those postseason runs. She was also a three-time All-Liberty League selection in lacrosse and earned Liberty League All-Academic Team honors in both sports. In 2010, she was honored with Hamilton's Gelas Memorial Prize, which is awarded to the senior that has shown the greatest development in strength of character, leadership, and athletic ability. She graduated with a B.A. in Economics that spring.
Fowler takes over a Washington College women's lacrosse team that has competed in each of the past eight Centennial Conference Tournaments, the second-longest current streak in the conference. The Shorewomen finished last season 13-5, their most wins in five years, and advanced to the Centennial Conference semifinals. All five of their losses came at the hands of nationally-ranked teams, two of which were against Gettysburg. Madison Schutz was named a third-team All-American and the Centennial Conference's Defensive Player of the Year, becoming the team's first-ever conference player of the year. Schutz and and fellow first-team all-conference selection Cecily Docktor are among 10 starters who will return for the 2019 season.
"Washington College is a truly special place with a unique combination of academic achievement and athletic excellence in a beautiful historic setting," says Fowler. "I cannot wait to meet the student-athletes and get to work delivering a transformative experience where we will pursue excellence on and off the field."
Fowler succeeds Heidi Pearce as the Shorewomen's head coach. Pearce accepted the position of Women's Athletic Director at St. Andrew's School in Middletown, Del., earlier this summer. Fowler is the eighth head coach in the history of the Washington College women's lacrosse program since its first varsity season of 1982.
"We will build on the strong tradition emblematic of Shorewomen Lacrosse and elevate the program to new heights while continuing to develop young women who are ready to leave Chestertown and make a difference in the world."

The Lost Dogs Home
Dogs provide an endless amount of unconditional love, support and meaningful companionship. Research also shows that our four-legged friends help counteract loneliness, depression and anxiety, making it easier to get through the tougher times we all experience in life. So it really is a shame that over 40% of Australians see shelter dogs as damaged goods, and many of them have never even experienced the joys of pet ownership. The Lost Dogs Home wanted to run a special adoption drive focused towards capturing the immeasurable joy pets bring to their owners lives, while changing negative perceptions about shelter dogs. They wanted to find a way to cut through the clutter and engage people to seriously consider pet adoption.
Wait with a Mate is a fully immersive experience that allows commuters waiting on a train platform to engage in a playful game of fetch with an energetic pooch. The digital display tracks throwing motions via an in-built sensor and projects a ball's path on screen accordingly. Once the dog has retrieved the digital ball, a real tennis ball with adoption information gets dispensed. This brought the digital experience into the real world and left users with a token of their newly formed friendship that they could then take to The Lost Dogs Home and use to redeem pet adoption discounts.
Although a large portion of Australians seem to view shelter dogs as damaged goods, we found that misconceptions disappear and bonds quickly form as soon as they get the chance to interact with these dogs. The problem was, people live such busy lives and it's not always easy to get them to positively interact with a playful pooch without interrupting their day. To get people to engage with pets where they normally wouldn't, we had to bring the pooches to them in a non-intrusive manner and in an environment where they'd be super receptive. So we thought, why not play on the biggest benefit of dog ownership by catching people when they were in need of a pick me up and giving them one.
Wait with a Mate targeted bored commuters at Australia's busiest train station by injecting a little excitement into their day while they waited for the train.
The campaign was launched in December 2016 and ran across an entire week at Southern Cross Station, the perfect high foot-traffic experiential location where traffic figures reached over 400,000. Adoption information and advice was provided by volunteers from The Lost Dogs Home. Wait with a Mate was an immersive activation delivered through the perfect platform that was able to cut through the clutter and connect with consumers in a memorable and meaningful way.

Electronic Design brought to you by Archive From The Labs Staff | Apr 02, 2001 Researchers at the University of Kentucky in Lexington have developed a wireless magnetoelastic medical sensor that provides easier, less-invasive diagnosis of stress-related gastroesophageal reflux disease. Developed with the support of the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health, the sensor consists of a polymer-coated magnetoelastic film that changes shape according to the level of gastric acidity. Changes in the film's shape alter its resonant frequency, which is then measured using a receiver coil worn by the patient. Doctors may either insert the sensor into the esophagus using a thin, removable tube or have the patient swallow it. Powered by the interrogation signal, the sensor needs no batteries, and the materials cost just a few cents. In addition to its proposed medical uses, this technology may be applied to remotely measure a variety of parameters, including temperature, pressure, fluid-flow velocity, chemical analyte concentrations, and liquid viscosity. Magnesium diboride (MgB2), an inexpensive and readily available chemical compound, may one day serve as a cost-effective superconducting material. That speculation comes in the wake of research performed at Aoyama-Gakuin University in Tokyo, Japan, where Jun Akimitsu and colleagues demonstrated that MgB2 superconducts at −234ºC. These findings, reported in the March 1 issue of Nature (see www.nature.com), suggest that MgB2 could overcome the two drawbacks that make existing superconductors impractical. The superconductors now available are based either on expensive materials or on compounds that require expensive cooling to low temperatures. Although the critical temperature (Tc) observed for MgB2 is relatively low when measured against that required by some other superconductors, it's considerably higher than what's been previously obtained with relatively simple, readily available compounds. Also, scientists believe it may be possible to raise the Tc of MgB2 dramatically merely by making some minor changes in the material's composition. That assessment is based on previous experience with other superconducting materials. The wavelet group in the department of applied science at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is studying signal processing using the wavelet transform. A relatively new mathematical tool, the wavelet transform has proven useful in the analysis of various types of signals, from 1D speech, biomedical, and seismic signals to 2D images. A key property is its ability to locate short-time, high-frequency features of a signal and at the same time resolve low-frequency behavior. This constant-Q type of analysis suits "real-world" phenomena very well. LLNL's research is targeting electrocardiogram compression, seismic signal feature extraction, and feature-based wavelet design. Sharp's improved TFT LCD technology, ASV (advanced super view), has a 170° viewing angle horizontally and vertically, with response time confined to 25 ms or less. Competitive TFT LCD technologies offer response times between 80 and 150 ms. With such a short response time, ASV becomes a strong candidate for full-motion video. Other benefits include the total elimination of bright pixel defects that can be annoying artifacts when a TFT LCD is used in the black mode. Sharp plans to convert much of its TFT LCD production to ASV over the balance of this year. Products incorporating this technology will come along shortly. Supported by a NASA grant, Nano-Sciences Corp. will develop a solar-blind, ultraviolet-sensitive photocathode based on III-IV aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN). Coupling the photodiode with NanoSciences' micromachined silicon microchannel plate and miniature photomultiplier tube technologies should produce high-gain UV detectors that operate at low power and high speed over a large dynamic range. These detectors will have potential applications in astronomy, missile detection, atmospheric ozone monitoring, and other areas. To build the diode, NanoSciences will exploit molecular beam epitaxy to grow ordered thin-film AlGaN crystals on sapphire substrates, which will then be processed into photodiodes. In its pursuit of the desired UV frequency response, the company will investigate the detector's sensitivity to varying concentrations of aluminum and gallium and to changes in surface conditioning. 0 comments Hide comments Comment * Switch to plain text editorMore information about text formats Text format CommentsPlain text CommentsAllowed HTML tags:

Hello everyone!
My name is Elyse and I will be starting my final semester of student teaching in a few weeks. I graduated with my Bachelor's degree in December 2012 and began the multiple subject teaching credential in January 2013. I am now in the final semester of the student teaching program and I recently found out I will be working in a third grade classroom.
Last semester, I did student teaching twice a week that focused on intervention and small group instruction. My placement was at a dual language school in a low socio-economic area. The program was a 50/50 program where one teacher taught in English for one day and the other teacher taught in Spanish the next day. It was a wonderful experience. I learned so much from the kids and my fabulous master teacher.
I started this blog because I want to share my journey in student teaching and in my first few years of teaching. It's going to be busy and scary and exciting and a total learning experience - so why not share it with the world!
Outside of teaching, I am also really into history and genealogy. I love cooking and going out to restaurants to try new food. I'm obsessed with Harry Potter. Most importantly, I am also planning my wedding for June 2014 and I can't wait to marry my best friend.
Until next time...

As a continuation from my last blog post, this is the next step in a hoarder's life. And yes...this is a very true story that hits home for my family. I'm sharing my personal experience through this journey.
Photo Credit: http://www.forbes.com/sites/juliabricklin/2012/01/03/monday-night-rehab-aes-intervention-and-hoarders-return/
Now that some time has passed, we have had an opportunity to clear out 4 vehicles (yes, 4) that were full of hoarding items. I would say that 75% of the items were eliminated, trashed and taken away. Items had expiration dates on them that were years old, or were in no shape to keep. There were newspapers, letters and mail that was not opened; drinks and food; CDs and DVDs; body wash, lotions, clothes, shoes and socks that had not been taken out of the bag and (ironically enough) lots of cleaning supplies.
Three of us spent 8 hours going through the sorting and eliminating process until we were exhausted.
The next step in a hoarder's life was dealing with the fact that certain items had been donated and/or eliminated.
We were up front and advised this person that we were clearing out the vehicles – which was somewhat easier to deal with because they weren't there with us. Now, 3 weeks later, we are dealing with the aftermath of the loss of their items. The strange thing is that the most important items to this person were the clothes and lotions – not at all what I suspected.
The reality is that these were the most important items to this person. The clothes (because they were all "coordinated") and the lotions because this individual has dry skin. All of the other items that I would have thought were important, actually didn't mean anything to this person. It was really weird.
So far we have only dealt with the hoarding issues from the inside of the vehicles (and two small storage units). We haven't dealt with the items inside the house. But I have taken a sneak peak at what I'll be dealing with.
If you know of someone who is struggling with the following, please get them help:
- The need to shop for items that are not necessary
- The inability to get rid of items
- The inability to see identify with the reality of how much they have accumulated
Being a clutter-bug or a collector does not mean that you are a hoarder. The difference is the ability to be able to release items and identify their true value. I have always said that in order for items to come into your home or office – items need to leave. There is only so much room to store things.
I posted this article on my Facebook page earlier this week that talks about our addiction to buying – a bigger house needs more things, a bigger closet means that you need more clothes. No wonder the storage business brings in over $2 billion a year!
Feel free to eliminate…stop shopping for items because they are on sale…and, if you are a hoarder…get help.
If you need someone to talk to who can relate to your situation give Organization Direct a call – 540-220-5912.

Nadal pulls out with injury before Federer semi-final
Rafael Nadal withdrew from the Indian Wells tournament on Saturday with a knee injury, shortly before his eagerly-awaited semi-final clash with great rival Roger Federer.
REUTERS: Rafael Nadal withdrew from the Indian Wells tournament on Saturday with a knee injury, shortly before his eagerly-awaited semi-final clash with great rival Roger Federer.
Federer, bidding for his 101st career title and a record sixth Indian Wells crown, received a walkover into the final, where he will play Dominic Thiem, a 7-6(3) 6-7(3) 6-4 victor over Milos Raonic in Saturday's only semi-final.
Federer's scheduled meeting with Nadal would have been the 39th in their long rivalry and the first since 2017, leaving the Swiss to say "it's a big letdown", a sentiment felt by everyone at at Indian Wells.
"I warmed up today and I felt that my knee was not good to compete at the level I needed to compete in semi-final," Spain's Nadal said in a statement. "It's tough for me to accept all these things that I'm going through in my career."
Nadal said he would now return home to Mallorca and would not play in the upcoming Miami Open. He hopes to return at the Monte Carlo Masters, which begins on April 14.
It was just the fifth time in Nadal's career that he had conceded a walkover, and the first to Federer.
"I am obviously excited to be in the finals, but not this way," said the 37-year-old Federer. "We've had so many epic battles and I know now that every one we have could be our last. Was this our last chance? I hope not."
The knee had begun to bother Nadal in the second set of his 7-6(2) 7-6(2) victory over Karen Khachanov in the quarter-finals on Friday.
He had not dropped a set in reaching the semi-finals.
"For me, it is not about today only," the world number two said.
"It's about what it means for me to have to pull out in a tournament that I love so much like this one, and in the semi-finals after playing well during the whole tournament. You can imagine that I can't be happy."
Nadal, who has struggled with knee injuries throughout his stellar career, was the second high-profile player to withdraw from the tournament.
Last Sunday, Serena Williams retired from her match against Garbine Muguruza with what the tournament said was a viral illness.
Thiem saved the lone break point he faced against the big-serving Canadian, which came as he served for the match at 5-4 in the third set.
The Austrian did not make an unforced error in the first set and raced off to a 5-1 lead in the tiebreak.
The 25-year-old fired 10 winners in the set, winning 93 percent of the points when he got his first serve into play, and eventually took the opener in a tiebreak, lacing a backhand winner down the line.
Raonic rescued the only break point in the second set at 2-1 down before going on to force another tiebreak.
A fortunate bounce as a backhand clipped the tape and dribbled over gave him the crucial advantage at 5-3 and helped force a deciding set.
Thiem secured the first break for 3-2 in the deciding set and a volley winner finally secured the victory after an absorbing two and a half hours.
Now with a new coach Nicolas Massu, the Austrian Thiem, who hit 25 winners in advancing to the final, will meet Federer for the fifth time, with their head-to-head score locked at 2-2.
Federer prevailed in straight sets in their most recent meeting in the ATP finals last year after Thiem had won back-to-back encounters in 2016.
