Why study Philosophy at MC?
A liberal arts education is about learning to be free. Philosophy, (which literally means the "love of wisdom") lies at the heart of a liberal arts education because it asks students to pursue truth wherever it may lead. As a philosophy major, you will tackle the "big issues": about what's real and what isn't; about what and who you are and your place in the world; about how we should live with one another and what makes life worthwhile. To tackle those issues well, you will learn skills that will serve you well in your college career, in the working world and all your life. Studying philosophy teaches you, for instance, to pay careful attention to others, to analyze ideas and test arguments, to see problems in their complexity and appreciate a range of solutions. You will also learn to make up your own mind thoughtfully, and to communicate your ideas with clarity and precision.
That helps explain why philosophy majors do so well in a remarkable variety of career paths, including law, politics, film, business, education, ministry, medicine and writing.
Maryville College Works is a comprehensive career preparation program that is integrated into the College's four-year liberal arts curriculum. Key components include assessment, advising, networking and professional experiences.
On Campus Opportunities
The Philosophy Club provides students with the opportunity to openly discuss philosophical ideas and take philosophy out of the classroom and into the world. In an informal gathering of friends, open to anyone who has an interest in philosophy, the Philosophy Club hosts regular discussions on a wide range of topics.

Zachary Bible '19
Hometown: Lebanon, Tenn.
In the summer of 2018, Zach spent six weeks in Eastern Hungary to participate in the Bronze Age Körös Off-Tell Archaeological (BAKOTA) Project. He was one of only eight undergraduates selected nationwide for the National Science Foundation-funded research that involved analyzing mortuary ceramics. A religion and philosophy double-major, Zach intends to draw on archaeological data as he writes his Senior Study. "In general, my focus is still on prehistoric art, but instead of visual ceramic art (which is what I focused on in Hungary), the thesis is centered on the role of sound and music in human evolution from the perspective of philosophy and religious studies," he said. "Discovering our fundamental nature and expressing it creatively are, ultimately, what drive me."

Jason Cather '05
Currently: Adjunct Professor, Saint Xavier University Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies
It was in Dr. Bill Meyer's Modern Critiques of Religion class at Maryville College that Jason first encountered – and was intrigued by – the ontological argument. The argument, which relies on reason alone to prove the existence of God, eventually would become central to his studies and 2017 doctoral dissertation at the University of Chicago Divinity School.
"When I got to the University of Chicago, the faculty expected us to read complex philosophical texts, come to class and be able to discuss them," he said. "That's exactly what I had been asked to do at Maryville College. After I turned in my first assignment I knew [studying philosophy] was exactly what I wanted to be doing, and I was ready for it."
Ellison Berryhill '12
Currently: Assistant Public Defender with 18th Judicial District in Gallatin, Tenn.
Accepted to Duke University School of Law in 2012, Ellison served as editor-in-chief of the Duke Forum for Law and Social Change. He returned to East Tennessee during the summers to work with the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals and the District Attorney General's offices of Knox and Blount counties. He worked on appellate cases for one year as an Assistant Attorney General with the Tennessee Attorney General and Reporter. Ellison earned his J.D. from Duke in May 2015 and clerked for the Superior Court of the District of Columbia for one year. "Every bit of success that I have had following my time at Maryville College has been due to the learning and growing I experienced there," he said. "The preparation I got in the Philosophy Department really helped me for the logical analysis necessary for the LSAT and law school."

Financial Assistance
Environmental Quality Incentives Program
/ How to Apply for EQIP
Loading Tree...
The Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) provides financial and technical assistance to agricultural producers in order to address natural resource concerns and deliver environmental benefits such as improved water and air quality, conserved ground and surface water, reduced soil erosion and sedimentation or improved or created wildlife habitat.
The document on this page requires Adobe Reader.
EQIP is available to producers or owners of eligible land with a natural resource concern. The land can be either in agricultural or forest production including producers engaged in livestock production.
Applications for EQIP are accepted on a continuous basis. Agricultural producers who submit a signed application, NRCS-CPA-1200 form, at their local NRCS field offices by the announced ranking cutoff date will be evaluated for funding consideration for that batching period.
Applicants must complete the NRCS-CPA-1200 application form available at their local field office or download the application and return the form to their local NRCS field office. After submitting an application, the applicant will also receive a copy of the NRCS-CPA-1202 Contract Appendix, explaining EQIP contract terms and conditions. Reviewing the contract appendix up front helps the applicant understand the requirements of the EQIP program. In addition, all applicants need to meet eligibility requirements in order to be an EQIP participant. Contact your local office to discuss eligibility criteria.
The 2014 Farm Bill continues to address the unique circumstances and concerns of socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers, as well as beginning and limited resource farmers and ranchers and Veteran Farmers. It provides for voluntary participation, offers incentives, and focuses on equity in accessing U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) programs and services. Enhancements include increased payment rates and advance payments of up to 50 percent to purchase materials and services needed to implement conservation practices included in their EQIP contract.
Texas is committed to reaching out to Historically Underserved individuals and groups. Historically Underserved participants may also receive higher payment rates. See the Small & Limited and Beginning Farmers and Ranchers page for the NRCS definition of the Historically Underserved.
In order to be considered for EQIP funding the land offered must be linked to an eligible agricultural producer as determined by the Farm Services Agency. Eligible land includes cropland, rangeland, pastureland, non-industrial private forestland and associated lands.
EQIP is a competitive process and EQIP applicants compete for funds in funding pools. Various funding pool categories allow similar application types to be grouped together when competing for funds. In order to compete, EQIP applications are ranked using environmental ranking points based on planned practices and resource concerns being addressed. The local NRCS field office staff will work with the applicant to rank the application and plan the conservation practices.
Contact your local field office for more information.

"There's no doubt that my wife and I waited too long to have that discussion, and part of that is—my wife is very quiet … we've been married for 55 years. So we never really had that discussion. And before I realized, it was kind of too late." (interview 6, man, health care proxy for patient with cognitive impairment) (1).
"I think that discussion should come before you get to the critical point. At the jump of a dime things could turn, so I think the more prepared you are, the better you could handle things when situations get tough." (interview 1, family, woman) (1).
Patient and caregiver perspectives on advance care planning
In numerous studies, patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and ESRD have indicated that they want to talk about advance care planning (ACP) with their nephrologist and care teams (1, 2). ACP discussions are associated with improved goal-consistent care, including increased likelihood of dying in the patient's preferred setting, reduced hospitalization, and less aggressive care at the end of life (3, 4). Yet only 6% to 38% of dialysis patients have an advance care plan (5). Even when ACP is documented in the dialysis patient's medical record, it rarely documents specific patient preferences regarding dialysis. A study of Mayo Clinic dialysis patients found that only one half (49%) of the patients had a documented advance directive in their chart. Of these, only 10.6% of documents specifically mentioned patient preferences regarding dialysis, and less than one half (44.2%) addressed preferences for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) (6).
If this were merely a matter of getting more people to file paperwork, it might not be alarming. However, the low rates of ACP go hand in hand with evidence that patient preferences are not routinely elicited and followed. Davison (7) found that only 10% of patients reported an end-of-life care conversation with their nephrologist, despite the fact that such conversations were patients' highest priority in end-of-life planning (8).
Barriers to ACP for CKD and ESRD patients
Leaders in nephrology have advocated for more widespread integration of ACP into care (9), but many barriers have slowed progress. Providers often do not feel this is their job, many do not adequately understand ACP, and there is a lack of integration of multidisciplinary resources that could help (10, 11). Furthermore, many implementation details—such as the best timing, setting, and team—have not been well researched, leaving providers to experiment on their own.
A 2015 editorial on ACP for nephrology patients explicitly called for studies of earlier ACP before choosing dialysis, with particular attention to the concerns of patients choosing supportive care (2). The editorial also called for studies that illuminate implementation, stating "[t]he nephrology community would benefit greatly from well conducted clinical studies of the implementation and effectiveness of advance care planning programs. It is time to stop discussing the need for such clinical processes and to start exploring ways to make it work" (2).
Recent systematic reviews have synthesized current knowledge about ACP (12). Through two decades of research, we have learned that multimodal interventions that treat ACP as an ongoing process involving two-way communication are usually more effective than a narrow focus on forms to be completed. We have also learned that family members often do not know what patients prefer, even when they are the designated decision-maker; that patients and family members prefer earlier communication; that ACP does not have a detrimental effect on distress or anxiety; that certain interventions are effective in improving the match between patient preferences and care received; and that certain interventions are associated with cost-savings, although true cost-effectiveness has not been studied.
ACP resources from the Coalition for Supportive Care of Kidney Patients
To help address the need for ACP tools specific to nephrology settings, the Coalition for Supportive Care of Kidney Patients (CSCKP) has developed two patient brochures: one for patients before a dialysis decision and one for patients already on dialysis. A guide for staff to use in conducting an ACP discussion using motivational interviewing techniques complements the patient brochures.
The CSCKP approach to ACP is to normalize the process by decoupling it from worsening prognosis. The CSCKP suggests that everyone—especially those with a chronic disease—should have an advance care plan that specifies who should be called on to make medical decisions if the patient is unable to make them for herself and gives some guidance as to the principles to follow in making those decisions. The CSCKP advises patients to follow five steps:
1) Choose someone to make health care decisions for you if you get sick and cannot speak for yourself.
2) Think about what kind of health care you would want if you were unlikely to get better. Discuss your wishes with your family and friends.
3) Write your wishes down in a legal form known as an advance directive (sometimes called a living will or a medical power of attorney).
4) Give a copy of your advance directive to your health care agent and your kidney care team. Continue talking to your family about your wishes.
5) Work with your kidney care team to complete a medical order form (usually called POLST, MOLST, or POST; polst.org) to record your wishes.
Ideally, ACP is one part of ongoing discussions that the nephrology team initiates about the issues that arise in serious illness and is integrated into the workflow for the nephrology clinic or dialysis center (13). Table 1 shows common barriers to routine ACP and suggests resources or steps that a practice can take to improve its processes.
The nephrology community recognizes that successfully implementing ACP for CKD and ESRD patients is necessary to provide individualized patient-centered care. Multiple studies are underway to develop best practices for ACP for this patient population.

You almost can't see the fog too well in the picture, which is located above this blog post, but it's in there somewhere. I also pointed to it just in case you couldn't see it too well.

Our last blog post was in the beginning of October and November is almost over, once again we didn't make the time to update our blog with all our adventures. We just got so busy working and traveling that we felt rest was just a bit more important. Yes, this year our traveling was much more extensive and before we knew it, it is now over. We traveled over 9,000 miles in the past 10+ weeks and we are exhausted and will now take the next month to travel the way we like to do, under a few hundred miles per day with days in between to rest and relax.
We do want to get out of the cold nights and head to the desert, we begin working again mid-December in Casa Grande, Arizona. Because we were tired of taking Interstate 10 west, we chose to head back to Amarillo for a few days before we head west on Interstate 40, then turn south again on Interstate 25 into warmer days and nights. Hanging out in Benson and Casa Grande for a few weeks looking for a tow vehicle is our plan. Anybody have a tow vehicle for sale, or know of anyone that does that will be in that area, let us know so we can check it out? For now, we are just chilling for a few days up in Amarillo before we get on the road again and head to warmer climate.
We had some great times with PepWear this year, but there were some rough times as well that could have and should have been avoided but that will be in our negotiations IF we decide to do it again next year. We really do love the break from the RV Lifestyle for those few months, we love the travel but just not as extensive as this year was and we love the work, but we will have to weigh it all out and see if this might be something to pursue again next year.
As for a discussion for permanent work we had going on during this adventure, call us crazy but we turned down a 6-figure income because we did not want to go back into such a structured environment. It had some great points especially the money and included travel, but on their schedule and their choices of where we go. For the most part it had too much structure and even though we thought we might be able to do it for a few years, we decided that if these are our last years of living do we really want them to be living without our freedom, so we turned them down. It was NOT an easy decision, but the bottom line was all that money would not, could not buy our happiness and we were not willing to give up who we both have become to do it. We will figure out a way to get Maggie replaced without selling our souls and getting back into the rat race.
So now we will get back into our way of travel and keep you all updated on our whereabouts so we can possibly get some visits in this year.

Spider-Man:Homecoming which released this weekend with Sridevi and Nawazuddin Siddiqui's Mom and Karthik Aryan and Kriti Kharbanda's Guest Iin London made a fantastic first business at the box office in India.
Spider-Man: Homecoming surprised many by earning almost thrice as much as Mom and Guest Iin London combined. While these two Bollywood releases struggled to make Rs 5 crore together, this Marvel film alone earned Rs 6.5 crore. Over the weekend, this film has raked in Rs 42 crore, which is $6.5 million.
In #India, #SpiderManHomecoming has grossed $6.5 Million [₹ 42 Crs].. A huge number for the opening weekend..
— Ramesh Bala (@rameshlaus) July 10, 2017
Globally, the film has earned $257 million at the box office, and is yet to release in China.
Yet to open in #China – Still #SpidermanHomecoming made a global debut of $257 Million..

Spider-Man: Homecoming has been hailed as the best Marvel movie sofar, and its lead Tom Holland has been praised for surpassing previous actors in terms of essaying the role of the superhero. The movie also stars Michael Keaton, Jon Favreau, Zendaya, Donald Glover, Jacob Batalon, Marisa Tomei, and Robert Downey Jr.
Sridevi-starrer Mom fared better on Saturday than it did on its opening day, seeing an increase from approximately Rs 3 crore to Rs 5.08 crore. This means that the film has earned Rs 7.98 crore in total, and achieved 75 per cent growth.
#Mom witnesses 75.17% growth on Sat… EXCELLENT trending… Sun should be higher… Fri 2.90 cr, Sat 5.08 cr. Total: ₹ 7.98 cr. India biz.

While,Guest in London had a poor weekend as it grossed 5 crore nett. The film had some decent growth but with such a low starting pointing it had to be much higher growth. The film had to compete with Spiderman – Homecoming and Mom which the audience preferred so it could have worked better on a week where the competition was weaker. The weekend collections of Guest Iin London are as follows.

When the MCU began, it was a cinematic universe praised for how it kept its continuity consistent. By having most films take place in the year of their release, it was simple and easy to follow for most people. However, there were some hiccups in Phase Three that complicated things a bit more. The "8 years later" remark in Spider-Man: Homecoming threw a lot of people off, as did Doctor Strange's true placement in the timeline. As a result, many people begged for Marvel to release an official timeline that would clear things up for the fans.
That time has finally come. Marvel has released an official timeline detailing the years in which every single one of their films takes place. While this should've been a moment to clear up any questions, it, unfortunately, caused more problems in the process. That's not to say that there aren't things fixed by the MCU's official timeline (because there are), but it seems to ignore a lot of the bigger problems that prompted people to want such a timeline in the first place. It seems as if even Marvel doesn't understand their own continuity at this point. If they want to make it more consistent, they'll need to make some serious changes in Phase Four. Crafting a universe and making it consistent across a decade of filmmaking was never going to be an easy process, but the official MCU timeline needs a lot of work. Here are 10 MCU problems that are fixed by the timeline and 10 more issues it caused in the process.
At the end of Thor: Ragnarok, we see the Asgardians headed towards Earth only to be intercepted by Thanos' ship during the post-credits scene. Avengers: Infinity War then begins with that sequence, as Thanos and his Children have wiped out all the Asgardians in search of the Tesseract.
However, Thor: Ragnarok supposedly took place in 2017 with Avengers: Infinity War happening in 2018. Now that both movies take place during the same year, it's easily explained how the gap between the two could've been so short. The two movies happened right after another, and poor Thor never truly saved his native people.
The Iron Man details the arc of Tony Stark. Beginning with his call to humility in the first movie, it slowly moves through his identity as a superhero. Along the way, he designs plenty of more suits and uses them to defeat all sorts of dark foes. As the timeline originally stood, Iron Man took place in 2008, Iron Man 2 in 2010, and Iron Man 3 in 2013.
Effectively putting five years between the trilogy, it gives a reasonable amount of time for Tony to create all the suits we see in Iron Man 3. However, the official timeline has them take place over just two years. That's not nearly enough time to see Stark make all the technological advances that he did.
In Captain America: The First Avenger, we see Steve Rogers get used for a lot of promotional material during World War II. Whether it be acting in plays or even starring in films, Cap was a serious icon. However, that sort of process would take years to pull off, and that length of time wasn't effectively communicated in the film.
In the MCU timeline, Captain America: The First Avenger was placed from 1943-1945. Not only does this give proper explanation to all of his theatrical appearances in that era, but it makes his switch to being a real soldier much more justified.
One problem that Marvel had the opportunity to fix with the MCU timeline was that silly "8 years later" title card in Spider-Man: Homecoming. According to that movie, The Avengers took place eight years prior to Peter Parker taking on the Vulture. However, the MCU timeline not only ignores that problem but effectively makes it worse.
Presumably, Spider-Man: Homecoming took place in 2017. Now, the timeline bumps it back to 2016, but the date for The Avengers isn't altered in any way. This means that the real gap between the two movies is just four years -- half the span of what Homecoming suggests.
There wasn't much thought given to the placement of the MCU movies in the first two Phases. However, it's those Phases that benefit the most from the MCU timeline. Tony Stark dealt with a lot of trauma after the events of The Avengers, but the idea that it didn't surface until about a year later seems a bit farfetched.
The timeline now states that Iron Man 3 took place just a few months after The Avengers. Not only does this give a shorter gap in between Stark saving the world and being haunted by it, but it makes more sense as to why the Avengers wouldn't assemble so soon after departing.
Stephen Strange underwent a serious life change after his car accident robbed him of the use of his hands. After exhausting all of his resources trying to fix the issue, he traveled to Kamar Taj, where he was taught the ways of sorcery to become a powerful wizard. He learned a lot of magic and faught Kaecilius and Dormammu.
However, the time frame in which this took place is a bit unclear. There's no way the movie could've happened over a few short months. According to the MCU timeline, though, Doctor Strange takes place over one year. We're expected to believe that he learned all those tricks and exhausted all his resources in just 12 months.
While the placement of Doctor Strange mostly causes problems for the MCU timeline, it does provide a neat fix. At the post-credits scene, we see Strange conversing with Thor about the location of Odin. This would be a tease for Thor: Ragnarok, which would take place a year later in the real world.
However, the MCU timeline has Doctor Strange end the same year that Thor: Ragnarok begins. This makes more sense as to why Strange would be appearing only now to stop Loki and work alongside Thor and not be present prior to that point. It just makes for a smoother transition between films.
Captain America: Civil War introduced us to Black Panther so we would be prepared for his solo film just two years later. Black Panther takes place just a week after Civil War considering how it deals with the demise of King T'Chaka. That was the explanation given in the film, though. The MCU timeline complicates things a bit.
Now, Black Panther supposedly takes place a full year after Captain America: Civil War, implying that Wakanda went that long without having a king on the throne. The fact that the events directly lead between the two films, it seems like a serious oversight to split their dates apart so much.
Instead of taking place in 2018, Avengers: Infinity War was moved back one year to take place in 2017. This was likely to coincide with Thor: Ragnarok's ending, but it was also probably to better explain an element of Black Panther. During that film's post-credits scene, we see T'Challa offering to open up Wakanda to the rest of the world.
However, in Infinity War, that hasn't fully happened yet, as only the Avengers are shown there. Had the two movies taken place with a full year in between them, there probably would've been more outside influence, thus why the date was changed.
Before Marvel released the timeline, the MCU canonically began in 2008 and progressively moved through the present day. However, the timeline changes that. Iron Man is pushed up to 2010, and many other MCU films are pushed up past their original air dates. In terms of making everything a streamlined process, it doesn't make much sense that Marvel would try to condense the progression of the films all of a sudden.
The MCU canonically spans only seven years, which makes a lot of references to time placement in the films no longer make any sense. It seems Marvel didn't fully think this one through.
S.H.I.E.L.D. was a big part of the MCU. After bringing the Avengers together in Phase One, the organization would go on to host its own show in the form of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. According to some dialogue in the series, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s formation can be traced back to 1949, where Peggy Carter had some influence in its beginning.
This actually corresponds with the timeline, as Captain America: The First Avenger ends in 1945. That leaves four years for Peggy to work on establishing S.H.I.E.L.D. before becoming a key member of it. This is perhaps the only connection between the Marvel shows and movies that is explained by the official timeline.
Take a look at the official MCU timeline, and you'll quickly notice that Marvel's newest film, Ant-Man and the Wasp, was missing from the lineup. This could be explained by the film not released at the timeline's publication, but it seemingly wouldn't be that difficult to throw it in.
Considering how the film's movies directly coincide with Scott Lang's actions in Captain America: Civil War, the film would presumably take place in 2016. However, the movie also needs to take place over a span of time, considering that the movie ends at the same time the Avengers are taking on Thanos.
One of the big changes to the MCU in Phase Three was that the movies weren't necessarily going to take place in real time. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 was said to take place right after Guardians of the Galaxy, as shown by Groot still being a baby at the time. The MCU timeline lists both movies during 2014, which lines up quite well.
On top of that, that puts three years between those movies and Avengers: Infinity War. That time passage properly explains why Groot aged into a teenager; there was a hefty gap between the two movies. The two also take place after Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
There is a bit of a problem by shifting Avengers: Infinity War back a year. There are some lines both in that film and Ant-Man and the Wasp that suggest two years had passed since the events of Captain America: Civil War. With the timeline condensing the gap, that can no longer be possible.
Infinity War happens just a year after Civil War now. This would also present problems with the placement of Ant-Man and the Wasp, as that movie's actual time frame will be much more difficult to pinpoint. When it is added to the timeline, we're sure there will be some continuity with it as well.
The MCU timeline has cleaned up Phase One for the most part. After Iron Man takes place in 2010, 2011 sees the events of Iron Man 2, The Incredible Hulk, and Thor, as opposed to them happening over a few years respectively. This brings a greater sense of connection between them, as there are subtle cameos in those movies that reference each other.
It wouldn't make much sense for them to be so closely connected if they didn't happen in the same year. This gives proper explanation as to why Agent Coulson has to go straight to Mexico after the events of Iron Man 2.
The MCU's big draw when it introduced new TV shows was that everything was connected. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Daredevil, and even The Runaways all take place in the MCU. However, if you were expecting there to be a placement of these shows in the MCU's official timeline, you would be sorely mistaken.
Apart from cleaning up a reference in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., it does little to place any of the shows in the timeline. This presents some serious problems, as there is no real way to pinpoint when these shows take place. Then again, it might've created more problems than it solved to add them to the timeline anyway.
One of the trickiest films to place in the MCU was Doctor Strange. There was no way the movie could've taken place in less than a year considering all of the events that happened. While some just assumed it happened after Captain America: Civil War, others were sure it occurred earlier because of the reference to Stephen Strange in Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
The fact that the MCU timeline places Doctor Strange at all fixes a lot of problems. It takes place after Civil War and bleeds into the movies that take place in 2017. It does line up with the director's statement that the movie happened over the course of one year.
While condensing the Phase One movies seems like a good idea in terms of explaining them chronologically, it does present some problems in later films. While the Avengers are discussing the Sokovia Accords in Captain America: Civil War, Vision gives his thoughts. He refers to it being eight years since Tony Stark revealed that he was Iron Man to the world.
The problem with this is that such a statement would be incorrect according to the timeline. There are now only six years between the events of Iron Man and the events of Captain America: Civil War. Thus, the timeline just made Vision a liar.
Before the timeline, it was largely believed that each MCU movie took place in the year that it was released in. However, with movies referencing each other or having events that directly led from one to the next, the idea that it was all chronological started to become problematic. In a general sense, the MCU timeline throws that idea out, instead carefully placing the movies in years where they would make sense.
Having The Winter Soldier and both Guardians of the Galaxy movies take place in 2014 lines up. Thor, The Incredible Hulk, and Iron Man 2 in 2011 makes sense -- it dispels the natural belief that most people had about the timeline.
While Doctor Strange's placement does come with its fixes, it comes with some serious issues. Recall that at the end of the movie, Strange was not yet the Sorcerer Supreme, nor was he worthy of wielding the Eye of Agamotto. However, by the time we see him again in Thor: Ragnarok, he has embraced his title and wields the Eye, the same going for Avengers: Infinity War.
The problem with this is that, according to the timeline, Doctor Strange now takes place in the same year as both of those other movies. We are expected to believe that in, at the very least, a few months were all it took for Strange to suddenly master the mystic arts and wield an Infinity Stone.

Ukrainian apple exports grew sharply in November
The monthly volume of Ukrainian apple exports for the first time exceeded 8,000 tonnes, having increased by 55% in November 2018 compared with November 2017.
"For the first time, Ukraine exported more than 8,000 tonnes of apples a month, if not to take into account Ukrainian apples only. Although there still a significant volume of apple exports from Ukraine, about 51% are intended for re-export to Russia, as evidenced by deliveries to Belarus and Moldova; the export growth in other areas is impressive," said Fedir Rybalko, the head of the Ukrainian Fruit and Vegetable Association, the EastFruit reports.
He also pointed to the increase in shipments of Ukrainian apples to the countries of the European Union, the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
"According to our estimates, about a quarter of the apple exports accrued to the EU countries, though half of those exports were organic apples for making juice and puree as well as apple concentrate. Moreover, about 12% of the apple exports accounted for the countries of the Middle East," the head of the Ukrainian Fruit and Vegetable Association stressed.
Bulgaria is a major importer of Ukrainian apples among the EU member states as almost half of all export shipments of fresh apples from Ukraine to the EU were made to Bulgaria. Sweden became the second largest importer with a share of about 27% of the apples exported by Ukraine to the EU for the fresh market.

I was playing around with the derbies and the tall lace up boots at Atelier last weekend and just about died. So beautiful.
Life is a hiiighway
I've decided my next pair of boots will be a pair of Guidi backzips now if only I could decide what type of leather. Does Guidi ever use reverse horse?
Didn't realize reverse horse was so furry! The reverse horse boots on Atelier look different:
Perhaps its a polished reverse horse?

these are oiled not reversed leather.
Focusing on object details
my bad uploaded the wrong picture! fixed.
i think they just have a different treatment. i like augusta more than the guidi ones.
Focusing on object details
^ same here. prefer augusta's leather though i'm partial to guidi's backzip style. that being said those oiled cordovan boots are REALLY tempting me.
need to buy pants and a leather jacket first though! must keep priorities straight :D
augusta have a backzip for this season and i think its great as well. the oiled cordovan is in my list but i still waiting to see what he have for this season
Focusing on object details
Can someone remember the price point of the tall lace boots from this season?
I do not recognise the vessel,
but the eyes seem so familiar

Ana Kraš
Tot, 2017, Unframed
In Tot [Until in Serbian], Ana Kraš explores the passage of time through geometric shapes forming an outline for a human figure. Patterns of parallel lines intertwine at the center of the paper. She plays with transparency and perspective, creating a unique and simple dictionary of shapes while using a minimalist color palette. In her work, Ana Kraš explores human bodies and relationships through fluid geometric forms. Her drawings reflect her ongoing hybrid interest falling at the crossroad of product design and life drawing. Influenced by Bauhaus aesthetics, she constructs her drawings with a graphic design eye originating from her background in furniture and lighting design. Womanhood, sexuality, and the body in space are central themes she constantly revisits through figurative sketches. Various shapes come out of her imagination creating a linear, precise dictionary of marks. The minimal color palettes at the image of the intimate themes she chooses to depict embrace the design vocabulary she uses to depict the human body. Ana Kraš, b. 1984 Belgrade, Serbia is an artist based in New York. Her work has been exhibited at Ed Varie, Les Gens Heureux, and at Villa Lena. She has collaborated with fashion designer Maryam Nassir Zadeh as well as Band of Outsiders. She has also shot for Riot of Perfume Magazine and Apartamento Magazine.

2 μL of DNA (DNA concentration was in the of 24–187 ng) and 0.8 U of Taq DNA polymerase (Qiagen). The initial denaturation step at 94 °C for 3 min was followed
by 30 cycles of DNA denaturation at 94 °C for 10 s, primer annealing at 57 °C for 20 s, strand extension at 72 °C for 1 min and final extension step at 72 °C for 7 min. PCR products were separated by 1.5% agarose gel electrophoresis. The presence of the cyrJ gene was checked in all 24 water samples collected from BY and BN, and the C. raciborski culture Epacadostat chemical structure from BY. PCR-generated fragment of cyrJ from four of 24 water samples (BY 18 August 2006; BN 18 August 2006 and BY 30 August 2007; BN 30 August 2007) was used for sequencing. Although PCR and amplification conditions were different than described in subchapter 2.5., the PCRs were performed in 50-μL reaction volumes containing 1× Pfu polymerase buffer with 2 mM MgCl2, 0.2 mM dNTPs, 10 pmol μL−1 each of the forward cynsulfF and reverse cylnamR primers, 1 μL of DNA (DNA concentration was in the of 319–934 ng) PD0332991 manufacturer and 1.25 U of thermostable Pfu DNA polymerase (Fermentas). Cycling began with a denaturing step at 95 °C for 3 min followed by 35 cycles of denaturation at 94 °C for 30 s, annealing at 57 °C for 30 s and extension at 72 °C for 1 min. Amplification was completed by a final extension step at 72 °C for 7 min. Purified PCR products were cloned into a pJET1.2/blunt vector (Fermentas). Expected length of the PCR products cloned
was confirmed by restriction analysis using BglII restriction enzyme and agarose gel electrophoresis. The constructs prepared were MYO10 then subjected to a sequence analysis. The homology searches were performed using the National Center for Biotechnology Information microbial and nucleotide blast network service (http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi) (Zhang et al., 2000). A modified protocol of PCR based on amplification of C. raciborskii-specific rpoC1 gene fragment, developed by Wilson et al. (2000), was used for the specific identification of C. raciborskii in two of 24 water samples from BY and BN lakes (BY 18 August 2006; BN 18 August 2006) and the C. raciborskii culture from BY. The cyl2, cyl4 and cyl-int primers as well
as the preparation of internal control fragment (ICF) were described previously by Wilson et al. (2000) (Table 1). The ICF was constructed by performing PCRs with cyl-int and cyl4, and the PCR product was used in a final PCR with cyl2 and cyl4 to give a 247-bp ICF (Table 1). PCRs were performed in 50-μL reaction volumes containing 1× AccuPrime PCR Buffer II with 2 mM MgCl2 and 0.2 mM dNTPs, 10 pmol μL−1 of cyl2 and cyl4 primers, genomic DNA and 1 U of AccuPrime Taq High Fidelity DNA polymerase (Invitrogen) and 200 fg of ICF. Cycling began with a denaturing step at 94 °C for 1 min followed by 35 cycles of denaturation at 94 °C for 30 s, annealing at 58 °C for 30 s and extension at 68 °C for 30 s. Amplification was completed by the final extension step at 68 °C for 2 min.

- Abstract
- The author participated in an international palaeontological expedition to the High Arctic from July 6 to August 1, 1989. This account of the expedition includes general observations on such subjects as clothing, tents, drinking water, emergency fuel, terrain, visual perception, mosquitoes, animals, river crossings, etc. An extended trial of a prototype cold weather clothing system was carried out in conjunction with daily activities. Measurements of the effect of the low-angle sunshine on the temperature of an absorbing vertical cylinder confirm that solar radiation is an important factor in the sensation of "wet-cold".

New Jersey Dispatch: The New Fairway Market in Paramus
"This is food for food's sake, not entertainment. Items like American-sourced ginger and six kinds of organic apples set the tone."
Not long ago, the state of New Jersey was looking for a new slogan. Of course, and per usual, nobody asked me. That's a shame because I had a unique, honest, and positive statement: "New Jersey: Megastores Done Right." This is important because one of Manhattan's most famous food megastores, Fairway Market, has opened a shop on Route 17 in Paramus, New Jersey.
Like anybody else with an interest in food, I've been to the iconic Upper West Side Fairway many times. It's the spirit of New York City food crammed into a tiny space. When I say that excellence is everywhere, I mean stacked up to the ceiling, right down to the floor, spilling out onto the sidewalk, and in tiny nooks and crannies that take a dozen visits to locate. Yet, this is exactly what I wanted to leave behind when I shop for food in New Jersey.
Compared to C-Town, Fairway is paradise, but that's not the choice that shoppers in Paramus will face. Will it be worth a trip if your local supermarket is a Wegmans or Kings? I had to head up to Route 17 and find out.
Located in the Fashion Center Mall and across from Valley Hospital in what must be one of New Jersey's most trafficked locations, this Fairway is a far cry from the cramped space on Broadway. You enter through the produce section and get right down to business—nothing is being shown off and everything is being shown. This is food for food's sake, not entertainment. Items like American-sourced ginger and six kinds of organic apples set the tone. What you need is here, just better and cheaper than you normally expect.
The large dried fruit, bean and nut section is one of the best in the state and sanely, the packages are small. There's no need to buy five pounds of anything if you only need a cup. As for selection, it exceeds any of the supermarkets and almost approaches specialty stores. The neighboring prepared food section struck me the same way—lots of things that looked worth eating: salads, soups and hot dishes, with nothing over the top or past its prime.
A sign above the olive bar read "We Invented the Olive" and after checking out their selection, I was ready to believe them. Try their Sicilian cracked, Gaeta, Picholine, and garlic stuffed for starters, and if those don't impress you, the dozen others might.
On-site coffee roasting isn't as unique in New Jersey as it is in New York City (where there's a tangle of regulations to deal with) but it's always fun to watch. Once you're past coffee and olive oils—a section so snazzy that I first mistook it for a wine department—you're in what appears to be the ultimate supermarket. Nine-dollar cans of sardines are sold here, but so are paper towels. The meat section has what you want but also beef marrow bones and fresh quail.
Fairway doesn't limit itself to either the high or low. You can pick up a bottle of truffle oil and some Pine-Sol. The range is stupendous.
So, the question that started it all. Is Fairway worth the drive? By a wide margin Fairway does the best job of bringing high quality foods together in one place in the Garden State. If you're in or near Paramus, the answer is a resounding "yes," you have to check it out.
Fairway Market
34 East Ridgewood Avenue (at Route 17 in the Fashion Center Mall), Paramus NJ 07652 (map); 201 444-3038

Judge rules recording can be withheld
Judge rules recording can be withheld
NEW JERSEY — Tape recordings of closed-door discussions of the Atlantic City Convention and Visitors Authority will remain secret because the minutes adequately reflect the meeting, a superior court judge ruled in a case on remand from the Supreme Court.
"These are some of most complete set of minutes that I've ever seen," the judge ruled from the bench in mid-May, as reported in the Press of Atlantic City. "I am satisfied that the public's right to know has been fairly satisfied."
The judge said that disclosure of the tapes would have violated the sanctity of the authority's deliberative process and discouraged future frank discussions.
The Press sought access to both the minutes and the tape recordings of a series of meetings relating to the authority's 1988 ouster and the 1991 rehiring of an executive, Theodore Bergman. In the meantime, in April, Bergman was fired from his $50,000-a-year sales position in the wake of an internal investigation of his time sheets and the unauthorized use of a credit card for personal expenses, according to the Press.
The superior court decision follows a March state Supreme Court decision, ruling that the tapes were common law public records subject to the removal of any confidential or privileged information before disclosure.
"Blanket access to the tapes would not be required;" the Supreme Court said, "rather, access could be limited to those portions of the tapes necessary to vindicate the public interest."

I can't believe my baby is 4. She's been excited all week to celebrate her birthday.
She's fiercely independent and knows what she wants and usually screams until she gets it. She's funny and silly and I can't believe she turned four today.
This morning when she woke I was telling her the story of the day she was born (just like my mom would do… and sometimes still does on my birthday). My daughter would stop me after every part of the story and ask… why? Which is one of her favorite words right now.
Every morning we walk to school, today my little birthday girl was on a full sprint. Her blond curls bouncing, strutting in little white wedge boots and holding tightly to her special birthday hat. She was leading the way marching so proud.
As we got closer to school she became a little timid and wanted to hold my hand. I still love having that little bit of a baby in her.
After I kissed all my kids goodbye and turned to walk home it hit me and I started to cry. It's sad to think that she's four and not a baby anymore. yeah she still little I know there's lots more years that she needs me. But the realization of no more babies! We're onto the next stage. For the last decade of my life I've been getting pregnant, having babies, nursing babies it doesn't go fast it's really long and hard and wonderful. You can't soak it up when you're in it because 50% of it sucks. I wouldn't say that I'm sad about not having a baby because I'm done, maxed, four is my limit. But it's just crazy to think that after a decade I'm out of that stage. Maybe my sadness comes from realizing that I can let go of dealing with babies and toddlers. Being a mom is hard work and there's no way to fully understand how much it is until you have kids.
I always remember a conversation I had with my dad about deciding when it's a good time to have a second child. And how much work could it really be…. (hahaha)
I thought double. He said 10 times more! I didn't believe in but boy was he right.
So here's to my little independent girl who is no longer a baby I love you baby! You'll always be MY baby.

I've been accused of loving tulle too much. Crazy talk, I know, but this time they may actually be on to something. I've been on a quest to find even more creative goodies made out of tulle for the Boutique. Accessories for the little fairy princesses out there. Tutu's are superb! Don't get me wrong, but sometimes you need a little something to complete to look. Something that screams
So please put your hands together for the latest goody to grace the boutique's Etsy page....The "Fairy Fluff" princess wand! (pauses for standing ovation.......)
My girls absolutely adore these! Okay, are obsessed with them. (Must be genetic.) They carry them around everywhere they go so they never miss an opportunity to "Bippity Bop" someone on the head. But hey, that's okay.....really. You see, these wands are so super soft. They can bop and you'll never see a tear. (well, maybe just of joy!) A mother's dream wand, I suppose.
The wand is totally customizable. Choose up to 3 colors of tulle from the 30 I have in stock. You also get to pick what color(s) satin ribbon you'd like for the handle and the streamers. WAHOO!
Let's face it...no Fairy Princess is complete without her wand.
*****Well, back to Far Far Away I go....Have sweet Fairytale dreams****

The Apple Quicktake 150 Digital CameraPosted: September 28, 2013 Filed under: Apple, Macintosh, Vintage Computers | Tags: Apple Quicktake, digital camera, Quicktake 150, retro camera, vintage Leave a comment
If I ask you, who developed and sold one of the first commercial digital cameras, what would be your answer? Fuji? Kodak? Maybe even Canon?
What if I told you it was Apple? Don't believe me? Well then let us rewind the clock to 1994. Tonya Harding had just won the national figure skating championship only to lose it later after attacking her rival Nancy Kerrigan, the channel tunnel finally opened, linking England and France and the people of Los Angeles were recovering from the Northridge earthquake, one of the costliest natural disasters in U.S history. In tech news, the Java programming language saw it's debut release and Netscape Navigator was rapidly becoming the most popular web browser.
While all of this is happening, Apple, under the leadership of Michael Spindler, was branching out from the computer market. During the mid 90s, Apple had begun to research and design such products as the Apple Emate, the Apple Newton and Quicktake camera. It also saw Apple giving the green light to companies to make clones of Apple computers, something unheard of when still under the direction of former CEO Steve Jobs.
When the Quicktake was initially released, I didn't have the pleasure let alone the money to afford one. Priced at over £700 it was a little out of reach for a 16 year old still in school. However, now in 2013 they are a little easier to come by and thanks to my friend Mark, who was kind enough to donate a Quicktake 100 and 150 to ByteMyVdu, I finally have the chance to try out the innovative piece of 90s tech and feature it on my site.
Aesthetically the 100 and 150 look the same, however, the 150 was released later, in May 1995, a year after the 100 debut. At which point, Apple had developed a firmware upgrade for the Quicktake that allowed the 150 to hold double the number of pictures of the 100, which was limited to only 8 24bit 640×480 images in high resolution and 32 in 320×240 low res. In addition, the 150 came with an lens attachment that allowed the camera to take macro shots when clipped over the front of the camera. As both cameras where externally the same, the QT 100 owners could make use of the macro lens also. Apple offered a factory upgrade service to all QT 100 owners, changing the name to Quicktake 100 Plus, giving the camera all the abilities of the 150.
The 150 also differs in the ability to save images in the additional file formats BMP, JPEG, PCX, TIFF. Where in the 100 can only save in Quicktake and Pict image formats.
Quicktake 100/150 Specifications:
Lens: 8mm
Memory: 1mb Flash EPROM
Shutter Speed: 1/30 to 1/175 of a second
Aperture: f/2.0 to f/16
Image Resolution:
Qt-100 – 8x 24bit 640×480 High images or 32x 320×240 Low res
Qt-150 – 16x 24bit 640×480 High images or 32x 320×240 Low res
Image Formats: QuickTake, PICT, BMP, JPEG, PCX, TIFF
Discontinued: 1997
Battery: 3AA
For the past month I have tried to use the QT150, carrying it around with me in my bag. I have tried to use the camera in practical everyday situations. The experiment has certainly turned up some interesting results, one of which was the size of the camera, for 1995 I'm sure the Quicktake was pretty compact. But in 2013, this once technical innovation is looking a little bulky, especially when sat next to my smart phone, something that has more processing power than a 90s computer along with a 5 mega pixel camera. Technology moves fast and I am amazed how it has advanced in 15 years. The same is true if you compare computers of the 80s to those of the 90s.
I have to admit, I was impressed how well the Quicktake's 0.3 megapixels sensor performed, even after 18 years. Admittedly it will never match my Canon EOS 30D or even my phone for that matter, but for internet purposes the Quicktake is actually a useable camera. If you are looking for amazing high definition, you simply won't find It with this 18 year old camera. I doubt you could use a Quicktake today without getting slightly annoyed with the restrictive and rather basic controls. I discovered this when I tried to manage the images I had taken. Unlike more modern cameras, the QT will not permit you to delete individual images, so deleting images you're unhappy with isn't an option.
Instead you can erase the entire memory, which is a little overkill in my opinion. I really do question the reasoning that led the designer to think this was what consumers would want, instead of letting you delete the most recent images in sequential order, which to me makes more sense.
I can only assumed it has something to do with the constraints of the hardware inside the camera. It could easily be a restriction of the flash memory, but it's anyone's guess really.
The Quicktake line of cameras still has a following even today, mostly by camera and Apple enthusiasts. While it will never compare to your iPhone, you are certainly more likely to be noticed taking photos with the Quicktake. For a bit of fun, the Quicktake is well worth getting if you are a collector of retro hardware.
The Quicktake uses an Apple serial mini din cable to link it to your computer. Today it is very hard if not impossible to find a serial port on a modern computer. Luckily you can buy usb to serial adapters which can make the process much easier then digging out that old 486 IBM from the garage. The one hurdle you might face is if you plan to use your Quicktake on a Windows PC, as I did. Unlike connecting to an Apple computer that uses the same mini din connection at both ends, the PC uses an RS-232 interface, that is not compatible. You will need to find suitable mini din to rs-232 cable or make one yourself, luckily the latter is easier then you might think, thanks to the author of MyriadOfThings.com, who has been nice enough to write a guide explaining in easy to follow steps, just how to build your own cable.
I highly recommend you check out Erik's site, as he has a wealth of fun info and articles on his site.
Below is the wiring for making your own cable, click to enlarge.
For the time, I can honestly the say the Quicktake must have been an impressive camera. I recalled my father owning a Casio digital camera around the same time and the photos were never as good as those I have taken with the QT 150, which really makes me wonder why the Quicktake didn't take off. For what ever reason the Quicktake was not very successful and ultimately the product was discontinued when Steve Jobs returned to Apple.
Quicktake has been a nice trip down memory lane and it's certainly easy to understand why the camera is still popular with Apple fans. While I might not wish to replace my Sony Mavica just yet, I still won't let that stop me from taking the Quicktake out for a stroll now and again.
Until next time, keep on geeking!

Introduction|Intro|Background} Gwa Autoresponder
Within this Market Hero review, I will reveal some email marketing secrets which are so good, you are going to want to crawl buck-naked across broken glass simply to find them. Gwa Autoresponder
But first, I want to say"thank you" into Alex Becker, the creator of Market Hero.
I began watching Alex Becker's YouTube videos back in 2016. He taught me a bunch of stuff regarding entrepreneurship and how to conduct a Shopify store.
It was right around that time that Alex released his book, The 10 Pillars of Household: Mind-Sets of The World's Richest People. I got that book once I saw it and I proceeded to highlight it and then mark it up with notes. In reality, I could move re-read it as soon as I finish this.
Truly, Market Hero is not even his sole multi-million dollar business. The SEO software development firm Source Wave was founded by him and today he's running a nutritional supplement manufacturer new. He got a few courses out there from the market teaching individuals how to grow their lists and sell more about Shopify.
The dude is a freaking machine. My hat off to you, Alex.
Sign up for the free trial : Market Hero
What Is Market Hero?
Anyhow, Market Hero is among the best email Because it focuses on revenue metrics autoresponders available on the market nowadays and it's so much better than its rivals.
I have used a bunch of email autoresponder software through the years, including MadMimi and Drip. Drip was my favorite up before I started using Market Hero. Drip allows you tag your subscribers, like track your open rates and to do lots of cool stuff.
But if you're anything like me, as you take care of open prices and click-through rates, what matters is SALES. Earnings are the lifeblood of your business and sales is what places hard cash in your pocket. Market Hero helps you track sales, simple and plain.
Market Hero Service
While I did not have to use Market Hero support that They return to me, Much because everything is, the few times that I did reach them out. Gwa Autoresponder
The service is not great to the point where they provide you with detailed step-by-step videos and also hold your hand through every step along the way, however it isn't terrible. In any case, if you want that degree of hand-holding and coddling, possibly Market Hero isn't for you.
Market Hero has English-speaking support team available to answer your queries through live chat at no cost. Such as some unscrupulous firms do you don't need to be a part of any exceptional plan or package that is updated to have priority support. You just log in and start chatting.
Could Market Hero Really 4X Your Enterprise?
On Market Hero's homepage You will see states,"4X Your Email Business With Unequaled Delivery and Sales Metrics". This immediately set my B.S. sensor because I know how hard it's to 4X an email sequence, particularly if you're any good at everything you're doing.
But Market Hero offers a free trial so I figured I would sign up and see if it was any good. I guessed I only need a small increase in sales for Market Hero to cover itself and if it did 4X my business, I'd be flying high.
Now, in the interest of full disclosure I really do want to tell you that Market Hero has NOT increased my sales 4X (yet), but I am gaining more sales than before and Market Hero IS paying for itself. Easily, actually. I had my own email game tight and was doing well, so I understood a 4X increase could be rough.
But in case you're new to email marketing or in case you've got a bigger internet company, Market Hero could probably 4X your sales. Here's how:
It tracks your customers' lifetime value.
I know I already mentioned this, but the secret to Market Hero is how it keeps your customers' lifetime value (LTV) in front of you constantly and it changes as you send out emails and tweak your autoresponder. As soon as you know your customer value, you can literally"buy" customers. What Market Hero does is actively monitor every sale and every conversion for each and every guide on your list. It then averages everything together and gives you.
If you were to do this manually, you'd probably have to go through different softwares, different spreadsheets, and return through your prior sales. You would have to crunch on a great deal of different numbers which you don't even have anymore. Market Hero solves this problem better than anyone else available on the industry.
You can segment using tags.
Subscribe to the free trial : Market Hero
I know that you are probably thinking,"Tags? Okay… big thing." But the manner that Market Hero allows you to use tags is a lot better. Here's why…
Let's say that I am running two different opt-in campaigns for the same audience. Anyone who opts-in to the very first effort will be tagged as"A" and anyone who opts-in to the next campaign will be labeled as"B".
I can enter Market Hero and filter out all of the"B" opt-ins and see how much they're worth compared to"A" opt-ins. If I find out that the"B" opt-ins are earning more money, I know that I must be pouring more advertising dollars into marketing the"B" opt-in. Gwa Autoresponder
If you do so again and again, you can create a strong business because you'll constantly be split-testing to see which kinds of individuals are worth more to your business.
And getting this up and running will be super-easy too. All you need to do is take the pixel that Market Hero gives you and put it in the areas that you would like to monitor. From that point, Market Hero will keep tabs on all your clients, sales, conversions, etc., to give you the information that you will need to grow your business.
You can integrate with a lot of different services.
Inside Market Hero, there's a button called"integrations" that – you guessed it helps you integrate with matters like ClickFunnels, SamCart, Shopify, Leadpages, Zapier, and much more.
I believe this is a wise move by Alex Becker because it shows he knows his market. He knows that are using things like this and he wants to be certain his applications integrates seamlessly.
My sole complaint is that lots of the software I use, for example OptinMonster and Thrive Topics hasn't yet been put in the"integrations" tab. That does not mean you CAN'T incorporate thembecause you can (you utilize Zapier to make them speak to each other) but it's not quite as easy as something like ClickFunnels or Shopify.
Speaking of Shopify…
How Is This Different From Other Autoresponders?
The best method for me to explain it is that of The email autoresponders were created for email marketers. I have nothing against email marketers and that I send emails however, their thinking has its limits. Market Hero was constructed by means of a business owner FOR company owners.
Market Hero differs since it gives you a lot of different approaches that will help you track ROI and create more profit from the own emails.
For instance, 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 seeing that each lead is worth $6.87 to you. That means that you can go out and"purchase" email addresses to create money. Everything you do is that you purchase paid traffic from Google, Facebook, etc. and send traffic to a opt-in page. You get a small business that is lucrative if you can get a for less money than it's worth. As you can rinse and repeat as many times.
Additionally, it also lets you segment your list in far deeper ways than other autoresponder services out there. As I said, I utilized Drip and they have some segmentation tools in the ability to apply tags to your prospects, but it is small potatoes in comparison to Market Hero. I don't want to give any of Market Hero's proprietary info, but let's just say you will most likely be pleased with the segmentation ability. Gwa Autoresponder
Is Market Hero a Scam?
From what I've seen, absolutely not. I think that At this time, by being a scam artist, Alex Becker has too much to lose. He is running various companies and he's smart enough to realize that if he tarnished his reputation, he would be screwed.
From what I have seen, people have complained about his refund policy. However, these people are usually the individuals who have utilized Market Hero for weeks and try to get their money back. These are the real scammers. You're scum if you aren't willing to cover for a service that may improve your business and your life. Plain and simple.
Market Hero's free trial offer is really clear-cut. It states that if you cancel within 14 days then anything will not be billed.
Rest assured, gentle reader. Market Hero is untrue.
In Case You've Shopify (Or Any Online Business…)
When I started composing this Market Hero review, I Was worried that it was going to lean a little too much. That is why I want to stress that Market Hero can help you in ANY business, not just Shopify.
On his YouTube station, Alex has published a lot of different videos about Shopify. You discover he provides a lot of information about how to earn money with Shopify When you get past the names. Part of the reason is because he wants to get folks to test out Market Hero because he understands it can help them.
For example, Market Hero lets you create abandoned cart sequences. Whenever someone starts the checkout process in Shopify (by entering their email) but doesn't finish it, that gets tracked in Market Hero. From that point, you get them back to finish their purchase and can follow up with that person.
The capacity to make these cart strings is just one of the ways which you can earn Market Hero literally pay for itself. Let's do some math…
based on the study which you read, the average cart abandonment rate for an internet store is generally somewhere in the neighborhood of 70-80 percent. Are there individuals with much lower abandonment rates? Sure, but this is actually the typical.
Imagine that 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 just got a 10 percent of this non-customers to buy?
That would get you an additional 8 clients. This means that you would literally increase your sales 40%! (Because 8 extra sales is 40% of the 20 sales you had.)
In the event that you boosted your sales 40 percent, would that justify the investment in Market Hero? But that is not all…
Market Hero also allows you to make upsell sequences. Can you create such strings with additional autoresponder softwares? Yes, you can. I am completely transparent about that, but it's nowhere near as fluid and it will not give you that all-important lifetime customer value. Gwa Autoresponder
The reason Market Hero is so strong is because you can use tags and track LTV. When you connect Market Hero to Shopify, it begins monitoring instantly. Purchase tags are implemented that show you who purchased which goods.
Imagine that you have a Shopify store selling print-on-demand dog shirts. If a person bought a pug shirt, it'd be silly to attempt to market Golden Retriever things to this individual, right? But that is since they don't have the right data in front of them, what a lot of online entrepreneurs do. Because Market Hero enables you to determine exactly what the person bought, you can concentrate on selling only stuff to your pug clients.
You are able to totally geek out with this stuff. You as complicated and can get as detailed as you like. In my personal business, I use it to segment the topics that financial advisors want to know more about. Since I sell products that assist advisors GET customers and let them KEEP customers, if a person is interested in KEEPING customers, because they would be immaterial, I do not want to bombard them with emails about GETTING clients. That individual would unsubscribe.
Oh, and if you're interested, here is a movie of Alex Becker showing you ways to increase your Shopify sales 300% with Market Hero. Keep in mind the Market Hero may be used with ANY online business, not only Shopify.
Market Hero is an email program because It is built for people who are attempting to earn money on the internet. In Case You Haven't completed So already, go around there, import your listing and make the most of the complimentary trial.
You can not afford not to know your numbers. That's like Driving blind. You're leaving a tremendous, if you don't understand your numbers Amount of money on the table. Imagine how much more money you can make if you Knew exactly what every lead was worth. How would your decisions alter? How would that alter your life? Gwa Autoresponder

Update 2.36pm: Two Palestinians have been killed after Israeli troops opened fire on protesters across the border fence, health officials said.
The shootings came as thousands of Palestinians joined the fourth weekly protest on Gaza's border with Israel on Friday, with some burning tyres or flying kites which carried flaming rags.
Huge black plumes of smoke from the blazing tyres engulfed the area, as Israeli troops fired tear gas and live bullets, witnesses said.
Gaza's health ministry said 40 protesters were injured, but did not say how many of those were wounded by gunfire or overcome by tear gas.
The protests are part of what organisers, led by Gaza's ruling Hamas group, have billed as an escalating showdown with Israel, to culminate in a mass march on May 15. Organisers have made conflicting statements about whether they plan an eventual mass border breach.
In the past three weeks, 28 Palestinians were killed and hundreds wounded by Israeli troops firing from across the border fence.
In addition, two Palestinian men, aged 24 and 25, were shot and killed in a border area in northern Gaza, the health ministry said. The Israeli military had no immediate comment.
Hamas said the protests are aimed at breaking a crippling border blockade that was imposed by Israel and Egypt after the Islamic militant group overran Gaza in 2007, a year after winning Palestinian parliamentary elections.
The Israeli military has said it is defending Israel's border and that its troops, including snipers, only target "instigators". It has also accused Hamas of using mass protests as a cover for attacks.
Earlier: Palestinian man dies after being shot by Israeli soldier
A 25-year-old Palestinian man has died after being critically wounded by Israeli army fire near Gaza's border with Israel.
The Gaza health ministry said the man had been shot in the head.
It did not provide details about the circumstances of today's shooting, which came as Palestinians were gathering for a fourth weekly mass protest on the border.
The Israeli military said it is looking into the incident.
Before Friday, 28 Palestinian protesters had been killed and hundreds wounded by Israeli army fire from across the border fence since the protests began in late March.
