House Passes Grants of Forest, Ecology, Environment Deptt
2 cr saplings planted in forests, 2.5 lakh along highway
Steps taken to declare Tral area Wildlife Sanctuary, Jasrota WLS upgraded, Rs 221 cr earmarked for Jambu, Pahalgam Zoo
JAMMU, JAN 20: Listing achieved targets set for restoration of state's forest cover, ecological balance and revival of wildlife, the Minister for Forest, Environment and Ecology, Choudhary Lal Singh today informed the house that in last one year the department has retrieved around 1.35 lakh kanal encroached forest land, planted 2 Cr saplings to revitalize degraded forests and minimize the human intervention – the root cause of all troubles.
Winding up the debate on Demand for Grants of the Forest, Ecology, Environment and allied departments, the Minister said development of new nurseries across the state forms the prime among series of initiatives taken to sustain and stabilize JK's frail environmental ambience.
"Establishment of hi-tech nurseries and upgrading of existing ones for production of quality planting stocks with a target of raising 15 crore saplings annually is a major step forward to increase the annual plantation targets. He said SFRI has established five model nurseries with a capacity of raising 50 lakh plants each.
He said state-wide drive carried out last year witnessing plantation of 2 crore saplings on mainland including 30% fruit bearing species and 2.5 lakh along the National Highways became possible with untiring efforts of departmental functionaries and cooperation of the local people.
Supporting the claims with elaborate statistics, the Minister said as on date out of 20,230 Sq km forest area, about 9000 sq km area is degraded due to the unabated human intervention. He further informed that, 3.82 lakh kanal of forest area was under encroachment as on April 1, 2016, of which 1.35 lakh kanal has been retrieved till December 2017.
Lal Singh said in a first, the department has brought prestigious Chinar to Jammu Province by way of planting around 40,000 saplings raised by State Forest Research Institute Jammu.
He said keeping in view the massive mandate of the department including protection and conservation of flora and fauna, the goods and services being provided along with the ecological security of the State, the fund allocation for the forest sector in the State is highly inadequate, which amounts to 0.04 percent of the total state budget.
Lal Singh said that there is a requirement of around Rs 10,000 crore for treating 9,00,000 hectares of degraded forest area of the State and at the rate of present funding, it will take more than 350 years to rehabilitate the degraded forest area.
Under Social Forestry Department, ornamental plantations have been done on National Highway alongside from Lakhanpur to Qazigund by planting 2.50 lakh plants which has been appreciated by all.
With regard to distribution of timber, the Minister said the forest department issued 556184 cfts timber directly from forests to the families living on the fringes of forests and snowbound areas lacking road connectivity.
"To effectively deal with wild fires and minimize the damage to the forest, the department has provided modern fire-fighting equipment along with fire proof uniform to the field staff to control the blaze.
He said close coordination among all the wings of the department and quick response thereof, number of forest fire incidents have been drastically reduced during the last two years.
Listing major achievement of Wildlife Protection Department, the Minister said that after six decades, the Sheep Breeding Farm located within Dachigam National Park has been shifted thereby restoring 2000 Kanal of land back to the National Park.
"The restored area is being developed as core habitat for Hangul where about 1 lakh fruit bearing and conifer species have been planted. The Sheep Farm was a major impediment for the Hangul and its breeding", he said.
The department is also considering to declare Tral area as Wildlife Sanctuary for the conservation of Hangul by way of connecting natural corridors on landscape basis, he said adding that Jasrota Wildlife Sanctuary is also being upgraded with renovation of ancient structures and palace, development of ecotourism spots, restoration of historic water bodies, etc while the process of demarcation of notified limits of Protected Areas comprising of National Parks, Wildlife Sanctuaries, Wetlands and Conservation Reserves has been taken up with Revenue Department and other agencies.
He informed that department is in the process of developing Jambu Zoo and Pahalgam Zoo in the State with an estimate cost of Rs 121 crore and Rs 100 crore respectively.
He said 401 kanal of land in Gharana Wetland Reserve has also been identified and demarcated in consultation with the Revenue Department thereby paving the restoration of the wetland.
Emphasis has been laid on revival and restoration of wetlands particularly Hokersar, Shallabugh, Hygamand other important wetlands by habitat restorations, water level regulation and soil conservation measures, he informed.
The incidents of human-wild animal conflicts have shown downward trend as compared to previous years and 41 Control Rooms have been established to effectively deal with such situations, he said.
The Minister further stated that 98% demarcation of the Wullar Lake has also been completed by Wullar Conservation and Management Authority and an area of 5 sq km of the lake is further proposed to be dredged out in the 2nd phase for which a project proposal of Rs 424.64 crore has been submitted.
In Ladakh, various steps have been taken for habitat management of key species including Black Necked Crane (State Bird) and Snow Leopard etc. besides, 4 rescue centres at Poonch, Kathua, Kishtwar and Leh will also be established.
With regard to put an effective check on pollution in the state, Lal Singh stated that State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) has taken up effective measures to control the Air pollution arising from the operation of Brick Kilns/Stone Crushers including plantation, metalling and sprinkling of water on approach roads to arrest fugitive dust.
Soil and Water Conservation department has taken up up-gradation/renovation & restoration of water ponder/ harvesting structures in kandi belt in a phased manner, out of which 61 have been revived and renovated during the last year and 63 are under repair/renovation, Lal Singh said.
While talking about the steps taken to strengthen staff strength, he said the department has engaged 423 unemployed forestry graduates/post graduate as "Rehber-e-Janglat" have been regularized so far thus fulfilling the commitment made by the Government during the last Budget Session.
Besides, the department has also promoted 556 employees by holding regular DPC meetings which include 154 employees of Forest Department, 30 of Wildlife Protection, 35 of SPCB, 100 of Social Forestry, 227 of Forest Protection Force, 5 of SFC and five of Soil and Water Conservation department, he added.
Earlier, various members including Usman Majid, Ravinder Raina, Mohammad Khalil Bandh, Mohammad Akbar Lone, Bashir Ahmad Dar, Pawan Kumar Gupta, Jeevan Lal, Abdul Majid Padder, Sheikh Ishfaq Jabbar, Gulzar Ahmad Wani, Shah Mohammad Tantray, Altaf Ahmad Wani, Syed Farooq Andrabi, G M Saroori, Shakti Raj Parihar and Abdul Majid Larmi took part in the discussion and gave valuable inputs for strengthening of the department.

Newfoundland and Labrador arts community seeks increase to ArtsNL funding
Letter-writing campaign asks for roughly $3M more over three years
More than 20 years ago, before Robert Chafe was a renowned Newfoundland playwright, he was 21 years old and writing his first play.
He did it with a $500 grant from the provincial arts council.
"I'm here as a working artist in this province because of ArtsNL. I wouldn't be otherwise. I would have given it up long ago," he said.
In that way, Chafe calls ArtsNL a "gateway" for artists.
And he's worried access to that gateway is shrinking because of a need for funding.
He said this province ranks third last in per capita funding for arts councils across the country. Along with Mindless Theatrics director Courtney Brown, Chafe is hoping to change that. The pair initiated a letter-writing campaign this week, asking people to write to the provincial government with a goal to increase funding for ArtsNL.
"Our ask with this initiative is to raise the budget – it's currently hovering around $2 million – to $5 million over the next three years, which would essentially put us in the middle of the pack. So, we're asking government to bring us up to average."
Chafe said other jurisdictions across the country are putting more money into the arts and thereby increasing the level of competition. He worries the effect that will have on the arts community in this province if funding levels aren't increased.
"Companies will start to die, artists will start to leave the profession. We're seeing it already."
ArtsNL is currently touring the province to hear from the arts community.
Executive director Reg Winsor said one of the biggest comments he's hearing is that funding for grants programs needs to be increased.
"Our budget right now is, in reality, nowhere where it needs to be to be able to deal with all of the applications that we receive."
Winsor said the arts community in the province has grown more professional in the past few years and with that growth the quality of grant applications has improved.
"It's a situation now where when applications are being submitted to us, there's probably 90 to 95 per cent that we would love to be able to fund, it's just that we don't have enough funding to do it," he said.
Winsor said ArtsNL is allocated $1.936 million in provincial funding, plus an additional $200,000 from the Department of Education for arts and education programs in schools. Out of that over $2.1 million, the council awards $1.6 million in grants. The remaining funds go towards operating and administrative expenses.
He said the last time ArtsNL saw an increase in provincial funding was in 2011-12. It was an increase of $150,000, all of which went to increasing grants.
Since then, ArtsNL funds were cut by 1.5 per cent – an amount the council took out of its administrative budget in order to maintain the level of grant funds.
The current $200,000 from the Department of Education is also $100,000 less than it once was, which meant the council had to cut the visiting artist program to schools.
"We keep indicating that we do need a funding increase, but right now (government) is indicating to us there is no new money, but I look on it like this is an election year, and there's a role for us as a council to keep talking to our minister, keep talking to our senior officials to indicate that these are the demands that are on our programs," said Winsor.
While Chafe said the province does fund the arts in many other ways outside of ArtsNL, such as allocating funds for infrastructure, the ArtsNL funding goes directly to the primary creation of arts and culture.
"You can have a building, and you can have a staff to staff that building to put culture in, but if you don't have culture being created to put in it, it's kind of pointless, right? So, ArtsNL is the primary place where the work that fills those stages, the CDs, the films – they all start with ArtsNL."
Brown said her theatre company receives funding from ArtsNL.
"I'm barely scraping by. I cannot do it for less – it's critical."
By maintaining current funding levels with increased inflation every year, Brown said it essentially leaves artists with less money to do their work.
Chafe and Brown said the amount they're asking government to increase funding is small compared to the return.
"To increase that budget to $5 million, the next decade in every corner of the province you would see the results, and it makes me tear up because we all know – working in this sector – what that money can do," said Chafe.
"People know the potential of art and artists to speak to this place and to ignite prosperity and to bring hope. So, I think the challenge sometimes is to connect the line more solidly between someone like Alan Doyle or Allan Hawco or Donna Butt back to ArtsNL and ArtsNL's funding of the petri dish that allows people like that to grow – allows initiatives like Rising Tide to grow and become. If that petri dish isn't fertile, it just won't grow."
Chafe said if there are young people coming up behind him with dreams of becoming a playwright or a musician, they need a "door to walk through."
"And if that door's becoming tighter and tighter to open – as it is, as it has been – then we're giving up on something really important, and we've got to watch it – because it's happening."

The second quilt was another QAYG quilt made from donated blocks and it will be going to Impact for a Women. Mardi, I used some of your donated fabric for the joining strips. I only have 2 QAYG blocks left so that will be my focus in the coming weeks so I can build up my supply for the next round of donation quilts.
I'm off to Melbourne again tomorrow on the ongoing search for DD's wedding dress as well as delivering quilts to Impact. We're also going to another stage show. This time it's Mrs Brown's Boys from Ireland which should be very funny if it is similar to their TV show.
Hugs, Jan Mac

Zolpidem (brand names Ambien, Ambien CR, Intermezzo, Stilnox, Stilnoct, Sublinox, Hypnogen, Lunata, Zonadin, Sanval, Zolsana and Zolfresh) is a prescription medication used for the treatment of insomnia and some brain disorders.[1] It is a short-acting nonbenzodiazepine hypnotic of the imidazopyridine class[2] that potentiates GABA, an inhibitory neurotransmitter, by binding to GABAA receptors at the same location as benzodiazepines.[3] It works quickly, usually within 15 minutes, and has a short half-life of two to three hours.
Zolpidem has not adequately demonstrated effectiveness in maintaining sleep, unless delivered in a controlled-release (CR) form. However, it is effective in initiating sleep.[4] Its hypnotic effects are similar to those of the benzodiazepine class of drugs, but it is molecularly distinct from the classical benzodiazepine molecule and is classified as an imidazopyridine. Flumazenil, a benzodiazepine receptor antagonist, which is used for benzodiazepine overdose, can also reverse zolpidem's sedative/hypnotic and memory-impairing effects.[5][6]
Zolpidem has slight muscle relaxant and anticonvulsant properties, but has not been approved for use in muscle relaxation or seizure prevention. This is because the dosage of drug needed to cause muscle relaxation is 10 times the sedating dose, and the dosage needed for preventing seizures is 20 times the sedating dose;[7] high dosages are more likely to cause unpleasant side effects such as hallucinations and amnesia. Contrary to early studies, more recent research has indicated that zolpidem is in fact a potent anticonvulsant.[8] The anticonvulsant effects are not realized until the normal dosage range has been surpassed (meaning sedation would still be a major side effect) but the threshold for this effect is now believed to be considerably lower than original estimates.
The United States patent for zolpidem was held by the French pharmaceutical corporation Sanofi-Aventis.[9] On April 23, 2007, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved 13 generic versions of zolpidem tartrate.[10] Zolpidem is available from several generic manufacturers in the UK, as a generic from Sandoz in South Africa and TEVA in Israel, as well as from other manufacturers such as Ratiopharm and Takeda GmbH (both Germany).
On January 10, 2013, the Food and Drug Administration announced it is requiring the manufacturer of Ambien and Zolpimist to cut the recommended dosage for women in half, after laboratory studies showed that the medicines can leave patients drowsy in the morning and at risk for motor vehicle collisions. The FDA recommended that manufacturers extend the new dosage cuts to men as well, who process the drug at a faster rate; however, the reasons men and women metabolize the drugs at different rates are still unknown.[11] In May 2013, the FDA approved label changes specifying new dosage recommendations for zolpidem products because of concerns regarding next-morning impairment.[12]
Clinicians prescribe zolpidem for short-term (usually about two to six weeks) treatment of insomnia.[13] Zolpidem addresses sleep-initiation problems, but is not effective in maintaining sleep.[4] Also, a 2012 NIH study showed that zolpidem's effectiveness is nearly as much due to psychological effects as to the drug itself, so "increased attention should be directed at psychological intervention of insomnia."[14]
Side effects may include:[15]
Some users have reported unexplained sleepwalking[17] while using zolpidem, as well as sleep driving,[17] binge eating while asleep, and performing other daily tasks while sleeping. Research by Australia's National Prescribing Service found these events occur mostly after the first dose taken, or within a few days of starting therapy.[18] Rare reports of sexual parasomnia episodes related to zolpidem intake have also been reported.[19] Sleepwalkers can sometimes perform these tasks as normally as they might if they were awake.
Residual 'hangover' effects, such as sleepiness and impaired psychomotor and cognitive function, may persist into the day following nighttime administration. Such effects may impair the ability of users to drive safely and increase risks of falls and hip fractures.[17][20]
The Sydney Morning Herald in Australia in 2007 reported a man who fell 30 meters to his death from a high-rise unit balcony may have been sleepwalking under the influence of Stilnox. The coverage prompted over 40 readers to contact the newspaper with their own accounts of Stilnox-related automatism, and as of March 2007, the drug was under review by the Adverse Drug Reactions Advisory Committee.[21]
In February 2008, the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration attached a boxed warning to zolpidem, stating that "Zolpidem may be associated with potentially dangerous complex sleep-related behaviors that may include sleep walking, sleep driving, and other bizarre behaviours. Zolpidem is not to be taken with alcoholic beverages. Caution is needed with other CNS-depressant drugs. Limit use to four weeks maximum under close medical supervision."[22] This report received widespread media coverage[23] after the death of Australian student Mairead Costigan, who fell 20 m from the Sydney Harbour Bridge while under the influence of Stilnox.[24]
A review medical publication found long-term use of zolpidem is associated with drug tolerance, Substance dependence, rebound insomnia, and CNS-related adverse effects. It was recommended that zolpidem be used for short periods of time using the lowest effective dose. Zolpidem 10 mg is effective in treating insomnia when used intermittently no fewer than three and no more than five pills per week for a period of 12 weeks.[25] The 15-mg zolpidem dosage provided no clinical advantage over the 10-mg zolpidem dosage.[26]
Nonpharmacological treatment options (e.g. cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia), however, were found to have sustained improvements in sleep quality.[27] Animal studies of the tolerance-inducing properties have shown that in rodents, zolpidem has less tolerance-producing potential than benzodiazepines, but in primates the tolerance-producing potential of zolpidem was the same as that of benzodiazepines.[28] Tolerance to the effects of zolpidem can develop in some people in just a few weeks. Abrupt withdrawal may cause delirium, seizures, or other severe effects, especially if used for prolonged periods and at high dosages.[29][30][31]
When drug tolerance and physical dependence to zolpidem has developed, treatment usually entails a gradual dose reduction over a period of months to minimise withdrawal symptoms, which can resemble those seen during benzodiazepine withdrawal. Failing that, an alternative method may be necessary for some patients, such as a switch to a benzodiazepine equivalent dose of a longer-acting benzodiazepine drug, such as diazepam or chlordiazepoxide, followed by a gradual reduction in dosage of the long-acting benzodiazepine. Sometimes for difficult-to-treat patients, an inpatient flumazenil rapid detoxification program can be used to detoxify from a zolpidem drug dependence or addiction.[32]
Alcohol has cross tolerance with GABAA receptor positive modulators such as the benzodiazepines and the nonbenzodiazepine drugs. For this reason, alcoholics or recovering alcoholics may be at increased risk of physical dependency on zolpidem. Also, alcoholics and drug abusers may be at increased risk of abusing and or becoming psychologically dependent on zolpidem. It should be avoided in those with a history of alcoholism, drug misuse, physical dependency, or psychological dependency on sedative-hypnotic drugs. Zolpidem has rarely been associated with drug-seeking behavior, the risk of which is amplified in patients with a history of drug or alcohol abuse.
An overdose of zolpidem may cause excessive sedation, pin-point pupils, or depressed respiratory function, which may progress to coma, and possibly death. Combined with alcohol, opiates, or other CNS depressants, it may be even more likely to lead to fatal overdoses. Zolpidem overdosage can be treated with the benzodiazepine receptor antagonist flumazenil, which displaces zolpidem from its binding site on the benzodiazepine receptor to rapidly reverse the effects of the zolpidem.[33]
Zolpidem may be quantitated in blood or plasma to confirm a diagnosis of poisoning in hospitalized patients, provide evidence in an impaired driving arrest, or to assist in a medicolegal death investigation. Blood or plasma zolpidem concentrations are usually in a range of 30–300 μg/l in persons receiving the drug therapeutically, 100–700 μg/l in those arrested for impaired driving, and 1000–7000 μg/l in victims of acute overdosage. Analytical techniques, in general, involve gas or liquid chromatography.[34][35][36]
Use of zolpidem may impair driving skills with a resultant increased risk of road traffic accidents. This adverse effect is not unique to zolpidem but also occurs with other hypnotic drugs. Caution should be exercised by motor vehicle drivers.[37] Studies showed that eight hours after a bedtime dose of 10 mg, 15% of women and 3% of men would have blood levels that produce impaired driving skills; for an extended-release dose of 12.5 mg, the risk increased to 33% and 25%, respectively. As a consequence, the FDA recommended the dose for women be reduced and that prescribers should consider lower doses for men.[38][39]
The elderly are more sensitive to the effects of hypnotics including zolpidem. Zolpidem causes an increased risk of falls and may induce adverse cognitive effects.[40]
An extensive review of the medical literature regarding the management of insomnia and the elderly found that there is considerable evidence of the effectiveness and durability of nondrug treatments for insomnia in adults of all ages, and these interventions are underused. Compared with the benzodiazepines, the nonbenzodiazepine (including zolpidem) sedative-hypnotics appeared to offer few, if any, significant clinical advantages in efficacy or tolerability in elderly persons. Newer agents with novel mechanisms of action and improved safety profiles, such as the melatonin receptor agonists, were found to hold promise for the management of chronic insomnia in elderly people.
Long-term use of sedative-hypnotics for insomnia lacks an evidence base and has traditionally been discouraged for reasons that include concerns about such potential adverse drug effects as cognitive impairment (anterograde amnesia), daytime sedation, motor incoordination, and increased risk of motor vehicle accidents and falls. In addition, the effectiveness and safety of long-term use of these agents remain to be determined. More research is needed to evaluate the long-term effects of treatment and the most appropriate management strategy for elderly persons with chronic insomnia.[41]
Patients suffering from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) had reflux events measured to be significantly longer when taking zolpidem than on placebo. The same trend was found for reflux events in patients without GERD. This is assumed to be due to suppression of arousal during the reflux event, which would normally result in a swallowing reflex to clear gastric acid from the esophagus. Patients with GERD experience significantly higher esophageal exposure to gastric acid, which increases the likelihood of their developing esophageal cancer.[42]
Zolpidem has been assigned to pregnancy category C by the FDA. Animal studies have revealed evidence of incomplete ossification and increased postimplantation fetal loss at doses greater than seven times the maximum recommended human dose or higher; however, teratogenicity was not observed at any dose level. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy. In one case report, zolpidem was found in cord blood at delivery. Zolpidem is recommended for use during pregnancy only when benefits outweigh risks. [43]
Zaleplon and zolpidem both are agonists at the GABA A α 1 subunit. Due to its selective binding, zolpidem has very weak anxiolytic, myorelaxant, and anticonvulsant properties but very strong hypnotic properties.[44] Zolpidem binds with high affinity and acts as a full agonist at the α1-containing GABAA receptors, about 10-fold lower affinity for those containing the α2- and α3- GABAA receptor subunits, and with no appreciable affinity for α5 subunit-containing receptors.[45][46] ω1 type GABAA receptors are the α1-containing GABAA receptors and ω2 GABAA receptors are the α2-, α3-, α4-, α5-, and α6-containing GABAA receptors. ω1 GABAA receptors are found primarily in the brain, whereas ω2 receptors are found primarily in the spine. Thus, zolpidem has a preferential binding for the GABAA-benzodiazepine receptor complex in the brain but a low affinity for the GABAA-benzodiazepine receptor complex in the spine.[47]
Like the vast majority of benzodiazepine-like molecules, zolpidem has no affinity for α4 and α6 subunit-containing receptors.[48] Zolpidem positively modulates GABAA receptors, it is presumed by increasing the GABAA receptor complex's apparent affinity for GABA without affecting desensitization or peak current.[49] Like zaleplon (Sonata), zolpidem may increase slow wave sleep but cause no effect on stage 2 sleep.[50]
A meta-analysis of the randomised, controlled, clinical trials that compared benzodiazepines against nonbenzodiazepines such as zolpidem has shown few consistent differences between zolpidem and benzodiazepines in terms of sleep onset latency, total sleep duration, number of awakenings, quality of sleep, adverse events, tolerance, rebound insomnia, and daytime alertness.[51]
Three syntheses of zolpidem are common. 4-methylacetophenone is used as a common precursor. This is brominated and reacted with 2-amino-5-methylpyridine to give the imidazopyridine. From here the reactions use a variety of reagents to complete the synthesis, either involving thionyl chloride or sodium cyanide. These reagents are challenging to handle and require thorough safety assessments.[52][53][54] Though such safety procedures are common in industry, they make clandestine manufacture difficult.
A number of major side-products of the sodium cyanide reaction have been characterised and include dimers and mannich products.[55]
Notable drug-drug interactions with the pharmacokinetics of zolpidem include chlorpromazine, fluconazole, imipramine, itraconazole, ketoconazole, rifampicin, and ritonavir. Interactions with carbamazepine and phenytoin can be expected based on their metabolic pathways, but have not yet been studied. There does not appear to be any interaction between zolpidem and cimetidine or ranitidine.[56][57] However, it was noted in the same study that cimetidine did appear to prolong the hypnotic effects of Zolpidem beyond its typical 3 hour duration, which is indicative of some sort of metabolic interaction.[56]
Zolpidem is one of the most common GABA-potentiating sleeping medications prescribed in the Netherlands, with a total of 582,660 prescriptions dispensed in 2008.[58]
The United States Air Force uses zolpidem as one of the hypnotics approved as a "no-go pill" (with a 6-hour restriction on subsequent flight operation) to help aviators and special duty personnel sleep in support of mission readiness. (The other hypnotics used are temazepam and zaleplon.) "Ground tests" are required prior to authorization issued to use the medication in an operational situation.[59]
Zolpidem has a potential for either medical misuse when the drug is continued long term without or against medical advice or recreational use when the drug is taken to achieve a "high".[60] The transition from medical use of zolpidem to high-dose addiction or drug dependence can occur when used without a doctor's recommendation to continue using it, when physiological drug tolerance leads to higher doses than the usual 5 mg or 10 mg, when consumed through inhalation or injection, or when taken for purposes other than as a sleep aid. Misuse is more prevalent in those having been dependent on other drugs in the past, but tolerance and drug dependence can still sometimes occur in those without a history of drug dependence. Chronic users of high doses are more likely to develop physical dependence on the drug, which may cause severe withdrawal symptoms, including seizures, if abrupt withdrawal from zolpidem occurs.[61]
One case history reported a woman detoxifying from a high dose of zolpidem experiencing a generalized seizure, with clinical withdrawal and dependence effects reported to be similar to the benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome.[62]
Other drugs, including the benzodiazepines and zopiclone, are also found in high numbers of suspected drugged drivers. Many drivers have blood levels far exceeding the therapeutic dose range suggesting a high degree of excessive-use potential for benzodiazepines, zolpidem and zopiclone.[63] U.S. Congressman Patrick J. Kennedy says that he was using Zolpidem (Ambien) and Phenergan when caught driving erratically at 3AM.[64] "I simply do not remember getting out of bed, being pulled over by the police, or being cited for three driving infractions," Kennedy said.
Nonmedical use of zolpidem is increasingly common in the U.S., Canada, and the UK. Recreational users report that resisting the drug's hypnotic effects can in some cases elicit vivid visuals and a body high.[52] Some users have reported decreased anxiety, mild euphoria, perceptual changes, visual distortions, and hallucinations.[65]
Zolpidem, along with the other benzodiazepine-like Z-drugs is a Schedule IV controlled substance in the U.S., according to the Controlled Substances Act, given its potential for abuse and dependence.
Zolpidem has become a leading date rape drug.[66][67] Unlike Rohypnol ("roofies"), which was banned in 1996, zolpidem is available legally by prescription, and unlike gamma-hydroxybutyrate, which is used to treat a rare form of narcolepsy, zolpidem was prescribed 43.8 million times in the U.S. in 2012.[66] It dissolves readily in liquids such as wine,[66] and can typically be detected in bodily fluids for only 36 hours, though it may be possible to detect it by hair testing much later;[66] this is due to the short elimination half-life of 2.5–3 hours.[68] This application of the drug was highlighted during proceedings against Darren Sharper, who was accused of using the tablets he was prescribed to facilitate a series of rapes.[66][67]
Zolpidem may provide short-lasting but effective improvement in symptoms of aphasia present in some survivors of stroke. The mechanism for improvement in these cases remains unexplained and is the focus of current research by several groups, to explain how a drug that acts as a hypnotic-sedative in people with normal brain function, can increase speech ability in people recovering from severe brain injury. Use of zolpidem for this application remains experimental at this time, and is not officially approved by any pharmaceutical manufacturers of zolpidem or medical regulatory agencies worldwide.[69][70][71][72][73]
Zolpidem is being studied to determine whether it causes improved responsiveness or regional cerebral perfusion in patients with persistent vegetative states.[74][75][76]

According to the article: " Wealth is more concentrated and shifting geographically…"
So where do the millionaires migrate and which states top the list of having the most millionaires? More research concluded that Colorado did not make the top ten listing.
In 2015, according to thinkadvisor.com there were "6 million U.S. households with $1 million or more of (investable) assets."
The top ten on that list: (which includes the District of Columbia) are: D.C.; Delaware; New Hampshire; Massachusetts; Virginia; Alaska; Hawaii; New Jersey; Connecticut and Maryland.
What makes these states so attractive to millionaires?
Apparently not taxes or cost of living, since New Jersey is a high tax state and Alaska is expensive to live. And not necessarily climate, since most of the 'millionaire' states do not have idyllic climate, with the possible exception of Hawaii.
I considered that perhaps the state mottos might have a connection?
If you are a millionaire - Why not migrate to a state with an attractive motto? (Just one thought)
So here are the interesting mottos of the above ten states:
D.C. – motto on corporate seal – Justice to all
Delaware – Liberty and Independence
New Hampshire – Live Free or Die
Massachusetts – (Latin) By the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty
Virginia – (Latin) thus always to tyrants
Alaska – North to the future
Hawaii – (native Hawaiian translation) The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness
New Jersey – liberty and prosperity
Connecticut – (Latin) He who transplanted sustains
Maryland (Italian) strong deeds, gentle words
Thus, the words that seem to attract millionaires? Justice, liberty, independence, freedom, future, peace, righteousness, prosperity, deeds.
By the way, the motto (Latin) of Colorado is "Nothing without providence"

A NEW fashion exhibition at Sovereign Hill's Gold Museum will provide a glimpse into the fashion trends of decades gone by.
Entitled A Victorian Silhouette, the exhibition draws on the Gold Museum's incredible collection of more than 3000 original Victorian garments and accessories, shown alongside reproductions made by Sovereign Hill's Costume Department, highlighting the craftsmanship in recreating Victorian-era fashion.
Gold Museum curator Snjez Cosic says the exhibition would feature 19th century dresses and accessories worn by some of the goldfields' most iconic figures.
She said the show would also explore the role of women in the Victorian era, between 1837 and 1901.
"Female clothing in the Victorian era reflected the role and status of women in society," Snjez says.
"Wealthy and middle class women wore more decorative and elaborate clothing, while the outfits of their working counterparts were simpler.
"With costume one of the most recognisable aspects of Sovereign Hill's interpretation of life on the Victorian goldfields, this exhibition provides visitors with a fantastic opportunity to understand how fashion and women's roles were defined by the Victorian era."
Visitors will have the chance to get a glimpse inside Sovereign Hill's costume department workroom and discover the behind-the-scenes workings. A special film titled A Victorian Silhouette will also be screened, providing a glimpse into the secrets of the 1850s hourglass silhouette.
With plenty of photo opportunities, including the chance to don your very own goldfields-inspired bonnet, or admire some elegant and exquisitely-crafted homewares and accessories, this exhibition will have you in awe at the details and intricacies of yesterday's fashion and craftsmanship.
A Victorian Silhouette runs at the Gold Museum from May 18 to November 4.

Legendary rap group Outlawz stopped by VladTV to discuss the new Tupac biopic, "All Eyez on Me." After giving credit to John Singleton as a great director, they voice their disdain on the director who worked with Pac, alluding to certain things in the script he had written. More specifically, the "Hollywood stuff" he added alluding to Pac having been raped in prison and Afeni being a lesbian in the script.

Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) was last seen adding a star to a memorial at Langley to honor Brody (Damien Lewis). She was pregnant at the time with Brody's child and appears to have given birth to a little girl.
Mathison was planning to take a new job as a CIA station chief in Istanbul. However, the promo places her in Pakistan.
She is there dealing with explosions, riots, and attacks.
Saul (Mandy Patinkin) is working with her. Peter Quinn (Rupert Friend) and Dar Adal (F. Murray Abraham) are also back.
However, during Homeland's panel at the 2014 Television Critics Association press tour, it was confirmed that Dana Brody (Morgan Saylor) will not be returning.

When you wake and hear that there has been another shooting……my heart breaks. Another
black man has been killed. A life has been extinguished, before he has finished his purpose on
this earth. My heart breaks for this mother and father. As a mother of three black sons, I
wanted to pick up the phone and tell them to make sure that everything in their car is in
working order for they won't get stop. I had to stop myself. They grew up all their life with
their dad telling them, every time they went out the house if you get pulled over, do exactly
what the police tell you to do. Don't where your hoodie in the car, don't play the music loud in
the car, drive the speed limit, don't give them a reason to pull you over. It is exhausting that as
a black parent that we have to tell are black sons these instructions when they go out of our
presence. You start praying that they make it back home safely. My sons were law abiding,
good students, good athletes, but you still had to give them these instructions. They were born
a black male and America has not accepted that their life matters.
Being pulled over is real to our family. I was pulled over and asked why, because we thought
you looked like a robbery suspect. In the car with the whole family, police flashing the light in
your car and follow you a quarter mile and then pull you over with no reason. Your son is
running in his neighborhood and a police officer stops him and question why he has change in
his pocket. Lucky (NO, God had him covered), I happen to drive by. Called my son and the
police offer was questioning why he had his change in a metal container. So now he has to
carry his money in a container that is acceptable to a police offer, otherwise you are suspected
of some wrong doing? My husband driving home and pull into our driveway and the police
follow him into the drive way and tell him to stay in his car. They had no exclamation why they
were following him. He stated I am at my home. They stilled harassed him.
When you continue to have these experiences with police officers, how are you supposed to
feel about them? Yet, you know that you are living in the United States of America that still has
race problems. That everyone does not believe the second paragraph in the Declaration of
Independence that states, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Men are
created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,
that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness." All these years later,
certain individuals do not believe that everyone has these certain unalienable
rights……. particular black males.
So every day, I continue to work for Social Justice, for equality for everyone! That I will
continue to love everyone, no matter their choices in life. That I will continue to be a
facilitator for The Institute of Healing Racism. That I will work every day to insure that
my grandsons, will live in a world one day that they will be able to have 'certain
unalienable Rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness'.

I opted for four legged "kids" instead of the two legged most people have.
I've had people in my life who have lost their human children and to be honest, I doubt I could ever get over such great pain.
Most people will think and even judge the way you handle the pain of losing a pet and for those who do I'll allow myself to tell you that you are out of place and have absolutely no right. Caring, loving and taking care of a live being, regardless it talk or barks, have four or two legs, licks your face instead of kissing, is as rewarding as anything and everything. In my little world, pets are noble, love you when you get up in the morning, greet you like they haven't seen you in a month even if you just stepped out to get something from the car, stand by you when you're at your worst, feeling sick, sitting on the toilet, or you're just eating a piece of whatever.
Four years ago we experienced one of the most painful feelings in our 18 years as a family, having to pick the date when our beloved Pancho was due to cross that Rainbow Bridge. In his last moment he sat after a week of barely moving and lay to rest in our arms. I still choke thinking about that moment. He was suffering so much because of kidney failure and I insisted on keeping him by my side for a few more days hoping for a miracle. He was my eldest baby at almost fourteen and I just didn't have the balls to part ways before it got to the point where I would lay on the floor next to him for God knows how long. I knew how sick he was but I was selfish and kept him a bit longer just so I could smell him, feel his soft fur and hold him close to my heart.
After he was gone I tried drinking that Cool Aid flavor "he's better off now, now more pain and as beautiful as ever", but no one told me how painful it would be losing my shadow. I only hope he's having a blast up there over the Rainbow, being the magnificent Schnauzer he was here on earth.
Somewhere over the Rainbow
I opted for four legged "kids" instead of the two legged most people have.

Trump supporters and extreme conservatives consume and share more "junk news" on social media than every other political group combined, a University of Oxford study has found.
The three-month study, published Tuesday as part of the school's Computational Propaganda Research Project, scrutinized the habits of 13,477 politically active U.S. Twitter users and 47,719 public Facebook pages in the months leading up to the State of the Union address late last month.
The authors then mapped how links to junk news sources flowed through the social media networks. Based on the links users shared and other factors, researchers separated them into distinct (yet often overlapping) cohorts, which they labeled "Hard Conservative," "Women's Rights," "Conspiracy," "Libertarian," "Trump Support," "Democratic Party," etc.
The study linked a full 55 percent of all junk news traffic on Twitter to the "Trump Support" group. "On Twitter, a network of Trump supporters shares the widest range of known junk news sources and circulates more junk news than all the other groups put together," the authors noted.
Fifty-five percent of all junk news traffic on Twitter can be linked to Trump supporters, researchers said.

From quite some time, we have seen people rapidly being aware of the importance of being healthy and fit and making a special effort to make their living and lifestyle updated with all the health and fitness trends. Fitness and staying healthy is an important part of a human being's life as it makes a person to be adaptable to every type of environment and situation. Also, in an era where all of us are occupied with mobile apps for each and every need we come across in our daily life, how can we neglect the need for a fitness app? Fitness apps are indeed important to keep a proper track of our daily activities and advice the proper exercises and diet plans accordingly.
There are various types of Fitness Apps provided for Android and iOS users:
These apps are used for tracking daily activities for the people who are not workout geeks but want to stay fit with their normal routine. The features of the apps can be experienced by connecting it with other devices like smart watches.
FEATURES: Track the number of steps, calories burnt and distance walked.
These apps help in getting the weight and calories in control with healthy eating habits. The apps tracks the correct amount of food to be taken according to the calories necessary for a person decided according to the user's weight.
FEATURES: Provides a proper planned diet and recipes for healthy food items. Also, helps in preparing a proper grocery list.
Workout fitness apps are solely based on guiding the user for the best exercises according to their weight and goals. These apps focus on providing the suitable exercises for all the body parts and to give healthy lifestyle to the users.
FEATURES: Explains about all the exercises briefly with the help of proper image and tutorials.
On-demand Fitness trainer apps are specialised for focusing entirely on the user just like any personal trainer at the gym. It shows exactly the exercises and diet plans and calories that should be burned or taken by the user according to the weight and measurements entered by the user.
FEATURES: Provides and explains thoroughly all the necessary exercises to be performed and diet to be taken by the user. Also, it proves reminding features to keep a check on the user's activities.
While launching your fitness app, the first and foremost decision to be taken is that which type of app is it going to be. It is not necessary that the app can only be one of the types. Many apps have features of for all the types.
To make your app stand alone in the market and a perfect view and guide to the users, these are the must-have features you need to know about:
Starting working out is easy but sticking to the plan for longer is the main task and we usually fail to make it work. This feature reminds about the daily exercise routines and what to eat and what to not routines. This would be like our personal trainer in our hand
Each one of us is excited about the results or progress that we made while working out. It is important that the app compares the measurements, weight, and height recorded by the user at the beginning with one entered after a few weeks. This would not only keep the user motivated but will also give an insight to the user if he/she should work out in the same way or change the exercises and diet plans.
The main link of the fitness is attached to the types of exercises we are hitched upon. Every fitness app should provide a corner for suitable exercises according to different filters like age, weight, gender, and targets. Filters will help the user to know about the suitable exercises for them to make them get fit faster.
Controlling our taste buds is considered as the most difficult task among youth. But obviously, if we are having so many wonderful foods to eat, how can somebody convince us to stay away from them? An ideal diet chart doesn't leave you hungry In fact a diet chart provides all the tasty and important nutrition to the body to make a person get into a perfect shape without starving. So, diet chart is another important aspect of the fitness app with an exercise guide.
This is where the story starts from. Well obviously, to track all the activities and record the measurements one needs to make an account on the app. So, this is a must-have feature to make the user stay connected to the app, as the app is helping them to stay connected with the trends and keeping them aware of their fitness plans.
Before we think about fitness, we set our targets. A fitness tracking app development should have the feature that records the targets and motivates them with news and trends and the inches that are getting shed by the users. Target indicator helps the users to stay motivated for working out regularly and would make them aware about their achievements too.
Push notifications could be about the new and upcoming updates in the app or about the feedback for using any feature. Push notifications make a user never forget about the existence of the app in their smartphone and would make them check the app if they find any notification interesting.
Nobody can stay updated with all the news and trends related to lifestyle and fitness without any source of information. It is important for every fitness app to provide the section for all the fitness tips, trends, and news. This would help the user to stay connected to the on-demand fitness trends in the market and make them experiment the same or the variants.
Connectivity is directly oriented towards the different and in demand gadgets in the market. These could be the smartwatches that provide an exact measurement of footsteps, heart rate, calories burnt etc. Also, these devices help in connecting to the smartphones through Bluetooth connectivity system.
Not everything could be done and understood with written content. It is important to provide users with tutorials on how to work with the given exercise schedules. All the tips and content given should be accompanied with the tutorials or examples in order for the better understanding.
There are many additional features that are needed to make your app make money for you, these are:
Many times users are very keen to know and understand everything about fitness and therefore, they prefer personal guidance to be given to them. Obviously, personal guides demand money for the specially designed courses for the users who want to transform them in a better way.

Seafood Tagging Report
In a fast paced world where it often takes something special to catch a customers' attention it becomes difficult for marketing people like myself to keep generating ideas to sell potential customers on our products. So periodically one of my customers helps sell the concept for me. I was provided this news article by one of my customers Metropolitan Fish in Singapore who has been using our gill tags to brand identify and supply recipes to his end customers through a QR code we print on each tag. The costs he states for tagging each fish will vary on a number of factors including style, volume, and of course labour costs.
If after reading the story you would like to receive further information or samples please click here to fill out a form and I will be happy to contact you. Please keep in mind we offer products for all types of seafood and a full line of seafood retail signage as well.

Our Foundation
Our publishing tradition crafted unique creative content creation capabilities. Our foundational roots allowed us to be progressive, constantly creating or breaking into new territories. Inspired by this tradition, we create trusted and engaging communities; we reinvent how these communities are connected to each segment of the economy; we build value through trust, new business ecosystems, and attractive economics. We are Marquard Media Group, a leading European media company, driven by passion, innovating for more than five decades.
"Pop culture is not a fleeting fad, but an enormous movement of a new generation with revolutionary potential."
– Founder Jürg Marquard, here with Jimi Hendrix 1968 in Zurich
About the Founder
Jürg Marquard was born on July 13 1945 in Zurich as the son of a dentist and worked as a journalist for various daily newspapers and women's magazines already during his school days. After graduating from the business high school, he started the youth magazine POP in 1965 with CHF 2000 capital, which he had borrowed from school friends, and thus laid the foundation for his career as a journalist and entrepreneur.
At that time, Jürg Marquard already sensed that the flourishing pop and rock culture was not just a temporary phenomenon, but a strong youth movement with revolutionary potential – a movement that would affect many aspects of life, from the music and entertainment industry to fashion, lifestyle and culture, and even politics. At the same time as he put his magazine POP on the map, Jürg Marquard was also working as a radio and TV presenter, specializing in pop music. He was the first presenter of the radio chart show to gain great popularity in Switzerland.
Successful entry into the market for German-speaking magazines
After the eventful early days in which Jürg Marquard himself edited POP magazine with a lot of passion, the magazine became a commercial success. After various mergers with other German youth magazines, POP became POP/ROCKY and the second largest German youth magazine, holding this position for many years. Marquard founded, acquired and merged further youth and music magazines and soon had the largest portfolio in this area.
Jürg Marquard achieved his big breakthrough in the German-speaking magazine market with the takeover of COSMOPOLITAN in 1981 one year after its foundation. After a weak start, the German edition of COSMOPOLITAN was dragging its feet without any noticeable success until Jürg Marquard took over. With radical editorial changes, he turned COSMOPOLITAN into a huge success in less than a year, and the magazine led the way for a new type of women's magazines. When taking over COSMOPOLITAN on October 14, 1981, Jürg Marquard explained his vision: "I believe in the future of COSMOPOLITAN. Recent years have brought about deep changes with regard to the self-image and role behavior of women. COSMOPOLITAN is the journalistic answer to these changes: The success is therefore pre-determined." COSMOPOLITAN subsequently became a very successful premium women's magazine in the German-speaking market and thus laid the foundation for the expansion of the premium magazine segment of Marquard Media Group.
The internationalization of Marquard Media
In 1988, Jürg Marquard launched the Hungarian versions of POPCORN and MÄDCHEN (Eng. Girl), which made him the first western publisher of periodical magazines behind the then still existing "Iron Curtain". The great success as well as the positive perspectives following the political change made Jürg Marquard invest dynamically in the Central European markets and expand his activities – including the acquisition of several leading daily newspapers in Hungary and Poland, the purchase of two printing plants in Hungary and Poland as well the launch of new magazines.
Then in 1999, during a strategic reorientation process, Jürg Marquard focused the activities of his publishing group on the premium magazine segment, which included streamlining his portfolio: The youth and music magazines were sold to Axel Springer publishing, the Hungarian newspapers and the printing plant to Ringier publishing, and the Polish web offset printing house to Baring Private Equity Partners.
Following this phase of consolidation, Marquard Media expanded once again in Hungary and Poland by launching a number of new magazines and also with acquisitions such as VIPress (PLAYBOY and VOYAGE) in Poland.
With a successful public offer in the summer of 2005, Marquard Media secured a 95.1% stake in Computec Media AG, a listed publisher of more than 15 consumer magazines and successful portals in the area of electronic entertainment and multimedia.
Besides that, in 2005 Jürg Marquard was the co-producer and protagonist of the reality TV series "Traumjob" (Eng. Dream Job), a licensed version of Donald Trump's "The Apprentice". The show had top ratings on Kanal 1 on Swiss television.
Special achievements
In 1995, the Hungarian government appointed Jürg Marquard Honorary General Consul to the Republic of Hungary in Switzerland. On December 12, 2005, he was given the memorial medal "PRO AUXILIO CIVIUM HUNGARORUM" by the Hungarian government in recognition of his successful 10-year function as Honorary General Consul, and on December 6, 2006, he was also awarded the honorary medal "Held der Freiheit" (Hero of Liberty).
In 1999, he was awarded the Euro Crystal Globe by the European Institution of Economics.
Jürg Marquard is married, father of five children and lives in Switzerland. But his diverse interests take him all over the world, and he likes racing tracks around the world. As an active racing driver, he competed in many international racing series and one-make cups until a few years ago.

mapping - wip
I've been busily working away in the studio getting ready for my exhibition Post-War: Thousand Mile Stare, in Canberra, opening at ANCA gallery on 22 April 2015. This is a detail image of one of the mapping pieces in its preliminary stages. The process involves a series of layers. First I paint the inks onto washi paper, building the ground, then I impress the mapping linework onto the surface. I then assign colour codes for each block depending on the first soldier settler's history. Each block is differentiated by their history for example, those that were cancelled by the commission for 'non-compliance', those that were sold or abandoned, those belonging to men that died. The image displayed is the largest piece in the show and the blocks that will now be filled in based on its history to 1939, the beginning of World War II.
in the studio
This is my studio desk at the moment - I have been undertaking multiple breakdowns of the blocks based on their history. Breaking things down and coding them gives me a better sense of the history - I feel much more connected. This is a Parish map showing Red Cliffs - I don't have a date for it but based on the names noted it's possible its around 1931. Its fairly easy to work out the original blocks from this as any that were sub-divided are noted as divisions of the same number. In this map I have selected a time period (up to 1931) and then coded the blocks based on voluntary departures, cancellation of lease by the commission, longstanding lease holders and deaths. These represent the first land holders only.
I'm still working on this one but it is interesting - there do initially appear to be some clusters - what I would love to do is correlate these with the topography. Some blocks were said to be almost unworkable.
Its always tricky starting a new body of work - its scary and thrilling at the same time. I try to immerse myself in what I'm interested in and then get all my materials out and see what happens. With this project I feel that the works need to be layered, with so many stories and history I can't picture the pieces any other way. I've started my first new works very simply, dying fine papers with inks for texture and exploring various line types. The image here is a detail from one of these first pieces called Pledge. The work is built up on an ink dyed washi base and then I have explored various ways of layering irrigation channels. The road mapping comes next and then blocks. I have selected particular blocks with their original numbers and names and others are simply painted out in gold. I need to get hold of some better map copies to really get into some large layouts but as preliminary pieces I'm pretty happy with the aesthetic.
Maps will be a critical element to these works so I'm starting out with lines and block forms from copies of original land scheme maps. I've always found maps to be really exciting and can be so beautiful and diverse. I love the different line types and weights and tonal techniques used for old and new. In my first degree I studied environmental design focused on architectural interior work. We learnt to draft by hand and I came to love the process, there is a rhythm to it, methodical mark-making. In my work I approach the production as a meditative process and take time with the detail.

Introduction|Intro|Background} Best Autoresponder Service
In this Market Hero review, I will reveal some email marketing secrets that are so good, you'll want to crawl buck-naked across broken glass simply to find them. Best Autoresponder Service
But first, I want to say"thank you" to Alex Becker, the founder of Market Hero.
I began watching Alex Becker's YouTube videos back in 2016. He taught me a lot of stuff online marketing, regarding entrepreneurship, and the best way to conduct a Shopify store.
It was right around the time that Alex published his book, The 10 Pillars of Household: Mind-Sets of The World's Richest People. I got that book as soon as I watched it and I proceeded to emphasize it and then mark it up. I could move re-read it as soon as I finish this.
Actually, Market Hero is not even his sole multi-million dollar business. He also founded the SEO software development firm Source Wave and today he's running a nutritional supplement brand. He got a couple of courses out there in the market teaching individuals sell more about Shopify and how to grow their lists.
The dude is a freaking machine. My hat's off to you, Alex.
Sign up for the free trial here: Market Hero
What Is Market Hero?
Anyhow, Market Hero is among the best email Since it concentrates on sales metrics autoresponders on the market today and it's so much better than its competitors.
I've used a bunch of email autoresponder software through the years, including MadMimi and Drip. Drip has been my favorite up until I started using Market Hero. Drip allows you to perform a lot of cool things, like track your rates and label your readers.
But if you're anything like me, while you care about open rates and click-through rates, what matters is SALES. Sales are the lifeblood of your enterprise and sales is what puts hard cash into your pocket. Market Hero makes it possible to track sales, plain and simple.
Market Hero Support
While I did not have to use Market Hero service that They return to me pretty fast much since everything is, the couple times that I did reach out to them. Best Autoresponder Service
The support is not amazing to the point at which they provide you with detailed step-by-step videos and hold your hand through every step along the way, but it isn't terrible. In any case, if you need that level of coddling and hand-holding, possibly Market Hero is not for you.
Market Hero has English-speaking support staff available to answer your queries through live chat at no cost. Such as some unscrupulous firms do you do not have to be part of any plan or package that is upgraded to have priority support. You just log in and begin chatting.
Can Market Hero Truly 4X Your Business?
On Market Hero's homepage You will see states,"4X Your Email Business With Unequaled Delivery and Sales Metrics". This immediately set off my B.S. detector because I know how hard it is to 4X an email arrangement, especially if you're any good at what you are doing.
However, Market Hero offers a free trial so I figured I'd sign up and see whether it was any good. I guessed that I only need a little increase in earnings for Market Hero to pay for itself and when it did 4X my business, I'd be flying high.
Now, in the interest of full disclosure I really do want to inform you Market Hero has NOT improved my earnings 4X (yet), but I am getting more sales than previously and Market Hero IS paying for itself. Quite easily, in fact. I had my own game tight and was doing well, so I understood a 4X increase would be rough.
But if you are new to email marketing or if you've got a smaller internet company, Market Hero could probably 4X your sales. Here's the way:
It monitors your customers' lifetime value.
I know I already mentioned this, but the secret to Market Hero is how it retains your customers' lifetime value (LTV) in front of you constantly and it changes as you send out emails and tweak your own autoresponder. As soon as you know your client value, you can literally"buy" customers. What Market Hero does is actively monitor every sale and every conversion for every guide on your listing. It averages everything together and gives you the stats you want to grow your organization.
If you were to do this manually, then you'd most likely have to experience different programs, various spreadsheets, and go back through your previous earnings. You would have to crunch a great deal of amounts that you don't even have anymore. Market Hero solves this problem better than anyone else on the industry.
You're able to segment using tags.
Subscribe to the free trial here: Market Hero
I know that you're probably thinking,"Tags? Okay… big thing." But the manner that Market Hero allows you to use tags is much better. Here's why…
Let us say that I am running two different campaigns for the identical audience. Anyone who opts-in to the very first campaign is going to be labeled as"A" and anyone who opts-in to the second campaign will be tagged as"B".
I will go into Market Hero and filter out all the"B" opt-ins and see how much they are worth in contrast to"A" opt-ins. If I find out that the"B" opt-ins are earning more money, I understand that I should be pouring more ad dollars into marketing the"B" opt-in. Best Autoresponder Service
If you do so again and again, you can create a powerful business as you'll constantly be split-testing to see which types of individuals are worth more to your enterprise.
And getting this up and running will be super-easy too. All you need to do is choose the pixel that Market Hero provides you and place it in the regions that you would like to track. From that point, Market Hero will keep tabs on all of your clients, sales, conversions, etc. to supply you with the information which you need to cultivate your organization.
You're able to incorporate with a lot of other services.
Inside Market Hero, there's a button called"integrations" that – you guessed it helps you integrate with things like ClickFunnels, SamCart, Shopify, Leadpages, Zapier, and more.
I believe that this is a wise move by Alex Becker since it shows he understands his market. He understands that the people who are serious about making money online are probably using things such as this and he would like to be certain his applications integrates.
My sole criticism is that a lot of the software I use, such as OptinMonster and Thrive Topics hasn't yet been put in the"integrations" tab. That does not mean that you CAN'T incorporate them, because you can (you use Zapier to make them talk to each other) but it's not as easy as something like ClickFunnels or even Shopify.
Talking of Shopify…
How Is This Different From Different Autoresponders?
The best way for me is of The other autoresponders were created for email marketers. Their thinking has its limits and that I send mails to my list on a daily basis, although I have nothing against email marketers. Market Hero was built by means of a business owner FOR company owners.
Market Hero is different since it provides you with a lot of different ways that will assist you track ROI and generate more profit from the own emails.
For example, one of the coolest features is the fact that it shows you just how much each lead is worth. Imagine logging in to your email autoresponder and viewing that each lead is worth $6.87 to you. Meaning you could go out and"buy" email addresses to make money. What you do is that you buy paid visitors from Google, Facebook, etc. and send that traffic to a opt-in page. If it's possible to find a prosperous opt-in for less money than it's worth, you get a small business. As possible wash and repeat as many times.
It also allows you to segment your listing in much deeper ways compared to other autoresponder services on the market. I used Drip plus they have some decent segmentation tools in the ability to apply tags to your leads , like I said, but it's small potatoes in comparison Market Hero. I don't need to give away any of Market Hero's proprietary info, but let us just say you will probably be impressed by the segmentation ability. Best Autoresponder Service
Is Market Hero a Scam?
From what I have seen, certainly not. I think that At this point, by being a scam artist Alex Becker has to lose. A variety of businesses's running and he is smart enough to understand that if his reputation was tarnished by him, he would be screwed.
From what I've seen, people have complained about his refund policy. These people are the individuals who have used Market Hero for months and attempt to get their cash. These are the scammers. You're scum if you are not inclined to pay money for a service which may improve your business and your life. Plain and simple.
Market Hero's free trial offer is really straightforward. It says that in case you cancel within 14 days then you won't be billed anything.
Rest assured, gentle reader. Market Hero is legit.
In Case You Have Shopify (Or Any Online Business…)
When I began writing this Market Hero review Was worried it went to lean a little too much. That's why I wish to stress this Market Hero can help you in ANY business, not simply Shopify.
On his YouTube station, Alex has published a great deal of different videos about Shopify. Once you get beyond the clickbait-style titles, you find he provides a whole lot of information on how best to earn money. Part of the reason that he does so is because he wants to get people to test out Market Hero because he knows it can help them with their Shopify company.
For example, Market Hero lets you create abandoned cart sequences. Whenever someone begins the checkout procedure in Shopify (by entering their email) but does not finish it, that has monitored in Market Hero. From that point, you can follow up with that person and get them back to finish their purchase.
The capacity to create these cart strings is only one of the ways which it is possible to make Market Hero literally pay for itself. Let us do some math…
based on the analysis that you browse, the ordinary cart abandonment rate for an online shop is usually somewhere in the neighborhood of 70-80%. Are there individuals with lower abandonment rates? Sure, but this is the average.
Imagine you have 100 people go through your checkout process and 80 of those individuals abandon your cart. That usually means you have 20 clients and 80 non-customers. Imagine if a cart recovery sequence only got a 10 percent of the non-customers to purchase?
That would get you an extra 8 clients. Which means that you would literally boost your earnings 40%! (Because 8 additional sales is 40 percent of the 20 earnings you had.)
If you boosted your earnings 40%, would that justify the investment in Market Hero? But that is not all…
Market Hero also lets you make upsell sequences. Could you create these sequences with autoresponder softwares? Yes, you can. I am completely transparent about that, but it's nowhere near as fluid and it doesn't give you that lifetime customer value. Best Autoresponder Service
The motive Market Hero is so strong is because you can apply tags and track LTV. When you connect Market Hero to Shopify, it starts tracking immediately. Buy tags are implemented that show you who purchased which goods.
Imagine that you have a Shopify store selling print-on-demand dog tops. It'd be silly to try and market Golden Retriever things to that individual if someone purchased a pug shirt? But that's since they don't have the ideal data in front of them, what a lot of online entrepreneurs are doing. Because Market Hero enables you to see exactly what the person purchased, you can concentrate on selling only pug-related stuff for your pug customers.
You are able to totally geek out on this stuff. You can get as comprehensive intricate as you would like. In my personal business, I use it to segment the subjects that financial advisors are interested in. Because I market products that assist advisors GET customers and let them KEEP customers, if someone is interested in KEEPING customers, I don't need to bombard them with emails about GETTING clients, because they'd be immaterial. This individual would unsubscribe.
Oh, and if you're interested, here's a movie of Alex Becker showing you ways to raise your own Shopify revenue 300% with Market Hero. Just keep in mind that Market Hero may be used with ANY business, not just Shopify.
Market Hero is an email software that is Wonderful because It is built for those that are trying to make money online. If you haven't completed So already, go around there, import your listing and make the most of the free trial.
You can not afford not to understand your numbers for one more month. That's like Driving blind. If you don't understand your numbers, You're leaving a huge Amount of money on the table. Imagine how much more money you could make if you Knew precisely what every lead was worth. How would that change your own decisions? How would your life change? Best Autoresponder Service
