Why Create a Thank You Page
If you're using the WPForms plugin for your forms, you can either show a confirmation message to your visitor or direct them to a thank you page after they fill out a form.
Showing a confirmation message beneath your form is the easiest way to confirm your visitors that the form is being submitted successfully.
However, using a thank you page instead of this confirmation message has lots of benefits. Some of them are:
- Better tracking: You can track the conversion rate of your form by using Google Analytics. By tracking the conversion rate, you can see if changes to your form are boosting your form conversions.
- Increase engagement: You can customize your thank you page by integrating useful links to various resources on your site. This way, you can increase your visitor engagement.
- Boost customer loyalty: Creating a customized thank you page gives you opportunities to boost customer loyalty by creating a deeper connection with visitors who reach out to you.
So now that you see why you should use a thank you page on your forms, let's check out how to create one.

Effect of Pranayama & Yogasana on HIV/AIDS -2
Scientific Review:
Spirituality is an important though often neglected aspect of pain in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and/or cancer, for both patients and nurses. The spiritual domain involves: meaning, hope and love and relatedness. The author examines spiritual aspects of pain in persons with HIV and/or cancer, as supported by the literature. Understanding spiritual aspects of pain carries implications for nursing. One of these implications is that it is important for the nurse to be closer to his/her own spirit in order to be there for the patient in pain. Other nursing implications include spiritual assessment and interventions, such as presence, attentive listening, acceptance and judicious self-disclosure, for promoting comfort and diminishing pain. [18]
Between 1995 and 1997, 1,675 HIV-positive men and women using complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) were enrolled into the Bastyr University AIDS Research Center's Alternative Medicine Care Outcomes in AIDS (AMCOA) study. Funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Alternative Medicine (OAM) and National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), the AMCOA study collected information on participant demographics, health status and use of conventional and CAM therapies. Participants from 46 states completed a baseline questionnaire, while additional clinical information (such as CD4 count and HIV-RNA viral load) was obtained from laboratory records. AMCOA participants reported using more tha n 1,600 different types of CAM therapies (1,210 CAM substances, 282 CAM therapeutic activities and 119 CAM provider types) for treating HIV/AIDS . . .CAM provider types most commonly consulted by the AMCOA cohort were massage therapists (49%), acupuncturists (45%), nutritionists (37%) and psychotherapists (35%). CAM activities most commonly usedwere aerobic exercise (63%), prayer (58%), massage (53%) and meditation (46%). The choice of CAM therapies among the AMCOA cohort does not appear to be solely based on scientific evidence of efficacy of individual therapies.
The majority of AMCOA subjects could be characterized as using integrated medicine, since an overwhelming proportion of the cohort consult with both conventional and CAM providers and use both conventional and CAM medications, yet few subjects reported that their conventional and CAM providers work as a team. These data and this cohort set the stage for conducting studies of health status changes associated with specific CAM therapies. [19]
Few studies have investigated the role that spiritual activities play in the adaptational outcomes of women with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease. Objectiveof this study was to examine the role of spiritual activities as a resource that may reduce the negative effects of disease-related stressors on the adaptational outcomes in HIV-infected women. A theoretically based causal model was tested to examine the role of spiritual activities as a moderator of the impact of HIV-related stressors (functional impairment, work impairment, and HIV-related symptoms) on two stress-related adaptational outcomes (emotional distress and quality of life), using a clinic-based sample of 184 HIV-positive women. Findings indicated that as spiritual activities increased, emotional distress decreased even when adjustments were made for HIV-related stressors. A positive relationship between spiritual activities and quality of life was found, which approached significance. Findings showed that HIV-related stressors have a significant negative effect on both emotional distress and quality of life. The findings support the hypothesis that spiritual activities are an important psychological resource accounting for individual variability in adjustment to the stressors associated with HIV disease. [20]
The practice of meditation, specifically Qigong, was hypothesized as being potentially helpful to HIV-infected individual. The intervention was assumed to be stress-reducing. Anxiety, depression and T-cell counts were measured. A statistically significant increase in T-cells and a statistically significant decrease in anxiety and depression were found. A control group was not included in this pilot study. [21]
Various forms of distant healing (DH), including prayer and "psychic healing," are widely practiced, but insufficient formal research has been done to indicate whether such efforts actually affect health. We report on a double-blind randomized trial of DH in 40 patients with advanced AIDS. Subjects were pair-matched for age, CD4+ count and number of AIDS-defining illnesses and randomly selected to either 10 weeks of DH treatment or a control group. DH treatment was performed by self- identified healers representing many different healing and spiritual traditions. Healers were located throughout the United States during the study, and subjects and healers never met. Subjects were assessed by psychometric testing and blood draw at enrollment and followed for 6 months. At 6 months, a blind medical chart review found that treatment subjects acquired significantly fewer new AIDs-defining illnesses (0.1 versus 0.6 per patient P = 0.04), had lower illness severity (severity score 0.8 versus 2.65, P = 0.03), and required significantly fewer doctor visits (9.2 versus 13.0, P = 0.01), fewer hospitalizations (0.15 versus 0.6, P = 0.04), and fewer days of hospitalization (0.5 versus 3.4, P = 0.04). Treated subjects also showed significantly improved mood compared with controls (Profile of Mood States score -26 versus 14, P = 0.02). There were no significant differences in CD4+ counts. These data support the possibility of a DH effect in AIDS and suggest the value of further research. [22]

Have you ever gone to visit a friend and as soon as you entered his/her room it felt like you were walking into a shrine? Posters of athletes cover the walls, signed baseballs sit on the shelves, and every dollar of his/her allowance goes toward buying that player's special edition shoes—all of this in the hopes that one day, s/he could meet that person. Rarely does this dream ever come true, but your friend holds out hope that one day it might.
One day in India I watched this picture play out, in a way. I watched as an elderly woman entered her Hindu temple and approached the idols with hope that someone somewhere was listening. She prayed and cried and then left an offering and flowers at the foot of the stone statue. She would not be the last. This same picture would play out over and over throughout the day. Men and women, old and young, would come to pray and leave gifts in front of the same stone idol and leave—a stone idol with no ears, no soul, and no ability to hear.
Just a few days later, I would be watching something very different! And this is something you should be proud of, as you've been a big part of making it a reality. I watched as more than 1,000 students graduated from the India College of Ministry. They were ready to introduce that woman to a God who not only listens but loves her unconditionally. These 1,000 graduates are just a few of the more than 36,000 students who want to change the world!
Boys and girls, THANK YOU! You are planting seeds that will grow into something bigger than you can imagine. You are world changers, and YOU are making a difference.

The goal of this study was to determine the roles of eosinophils and neutrophils in innate and adaptive protective immunity to larval Strongyloides stercoralis in mice. The experimental approach used was to treat mice with an anti-CCR3 monoclonal antibody to eliminate eosinophils or to use CXCR2 -/- mice, which have a severe neutrophil recruitment defect, and then determine the effect of the reduction or elimination of the particular cell type on larval killing. It was determined that eosinophils killed the S. stercoralis larvae in naïve mice, whereas these cells were not required for the accelerated killing of larvae in immunized mice. Experiments using CXCR2-/- mice demonstrated that the reduction in recruitment of neutrophils resulted in significantly reduced innate and adaptive protective immunity. Protective antibody developed in the immunized CXCR2-/- mice, thereby demonstrating that neutrophils were not required for the induction of the adaptive protective immune response. Moreover, transfer of neutrophil-enriched cell populations recovered from either wild-type or CXCR2-/- mice into diffusion chambers containing larvae demonstrated that larval killing occurred with both cell populations when the diffusion chambers were implanted in immunized wild-type mice. Thus, the defect in the CXCR2-/- mice was a defect in the recruitment of the neutrophils and not a defect in the ability of these cells to kill larvae. This study therefore demonstrated that both eosinophils and neutrophils are required in the protective innate immune response, whereas only neutrophils are necessary for the protective adaptive immune response to larval S. stercoralis in mice.

Andreas Rau – How pilots communicate
… and what we as Software Engineers/ Designers and Businessmen can learn from it
In this article you will learn about miscommunication pitfalls in aviation and that the same pitfalls occur in software development, design, and business. We will dive deeper into topics like the aviation decision-making (ADM) process. Have a glance at intercultural communication. How it dictates the way we speak and understand our world. Further an introduction to my own personal experiences and how you can sabotage the productivity of your organization effectively.
In the end, we will apply the ADM to foster and improve your communication.
How miscommunication can trigger disasters
On 25th January 1995, the Avianca flight from Bogota, Colombia, to JFK Airport in New York, was running out of fuel. Air traffic control (ATC) at JFK kept the airplane in a holding position until their plane's fuel tank was running dangerously low. When revisiting the conversation between the airplane and the ATC at no point in time the word "emergency" or "mayday" was communicated by the pilots. The captain reportedly told the first officer to "tell them we are in an emergency". instead of letting ATC know that the airplane is in a serious situation, the word "emergency" was not communicated. Instead, the first officer told ATC "We're running out of fuel" "With air traffic control unaware of the gravity of the problem, the plane crashed just nine minutes later. Out of the 158 people on board, 73 died, including the pilot and the co-pilot."
The complexity of reality
The Austrian philosopher, Ludwig Wittgenstein already shared with the world in 1921 in his famous book "Tractatus logico-philosophicus".
From this, we can derive that even under calm conditions the human language fails. In the before shown example, it gets even worse under stressful conditions.
From Aviation to Software Development
First of all a disclaimer. I am a software developer and paragliding pilot. I am well aware that in airline aviation serious mistakes can endanger passenger lives and software development in most cases does not. What I am interested in, are the circumstances of mistakes and the diversity of people involved as well as their communication. When I was revealed how many aviation accidents happened because of miscommunication I started to question if the same situations occur in my day-to-day job and even in my private life. In both worlds, we face time-critical decisions. We both need to react to events that happen while we are executing tasks. I see only a few differences. One of them is that there are more decisions and events to consider in aviation. This means that there are more of them in a shorter amount of time. Both worlds make decisions. In software development, those decisions and their effects as well as their execution by 3rd parties take more time than in aviation. Think about this statement for a moment. Compare a 2h flight with all the decisions that you might need to take as a pilot to a software development sprint of two weeks.
I am a paragliding pilot, so nothing close to a real pilot, but in my experience, the amount of decisions I have to take in a 2h flight compared to a two-week sprint is about the same. In the next part, we will dive deeper into how the aviation industry takes decisions.
The aeronautical decision-making (ADM) process
The airline industry has identified a process that every aircraft pilot has to obey. Aeronautical decision-making (ADM) is a five-step process that a pilot needs to conduct when facing an unexpected or critical event. Adhering to this process helps the pilot to maximize his success chance.
- Start to identify your situation, this is the most important step. Accurately detecting it enables you to make correct decisions and raise the probability of success.
- Evaluate your options and in my experience, there are often more than I expected to be in the beginning.
- Choose from your generated options while accessing the risks and viability.
- Act according to your plan.
- Evaluate if your action was successful and prepare for further decisions. You will always have further decision points where you need to start the process of ADM again.
This process is only one of many more in aviation.
Let's apply this to a software bug.
- Identify your situation
- What is the real cause for the bug?
- Is it reproducable, part of my product scope or not?
- Did this bug occur because of our code changes or of dependency updates?
- Is this bug on live systems?
- Can I resolve the bug?
- Do I need help?
- Can I get more information?
- …
- Evaluate your options
- Patch the bug with a new version.
- Ask for help.
- Investigate further
- Decline because it's a feature and the user is using it incorrectly.
- …
- Choose
- Let's assume the bug is on a live system and needs to be fixed asap -> Patch the bug with a new version.
- Act
- Please enter your routine for fixing a bug here
- Evaluate if your action was successful
- Is the live system running as expected and was the bug resolved?
- Should we establish a standardized process to fix bugs?
- Did I resolve the bug in time? If not practice time management.
- Is there anything we can do to mature the product?
- Feedback to QA.
- Share your insights.
- Improve test procedures.
- …
This is an easy example to illustrate how the ADM process can be applied to software development. A lesson I learned from paragliding and software development is to always finish your plan even if the circumstances change during your action. Trust in your abilities and execute your plan. If you followed the previous steps correctly your actions cannot be severely wrong. Given that the information you based your analysis on was correct.
Which language we use is an important part of correctly communicating with each other, let's have a look at aviation English next.
Aviation English
Pilots and crew, regardless of their own native language or any other languages they speak, travel across the world. They have to be able to communicate with every airport and every ATC they face, on a daily basis. This was a challenge to solve, which occurred with the rise of civil aviation in the mid-20th century. There was already an unspoken agreement in place. The language of the sky at that time was Aviation English. Now Aviation English is, as misleading as it sounds not the English language that we know. In fact, it is a separate language compared to what is spoken on the ground. Even native English speakers have quite a long road to learn it ahead of them. It uses standardized phraseology in radio communications to ensure aviation safety. Since the manufacturing, as well as the operation of air crafts, was dominated by English-speaking countries. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) slowly but steadily understood one thing.
Good processes and procedures themselves will not solve the issue.
In 1951 they suggested that English should be the de facto international language of civil aviation. Let me emphasize that ICAO in 1951 only suggested, that English should be the language of the sky. It took them 50 more years, in 2001, to actually determine English as the standardized language of air transport. With said standardization, they published a directive. It stated that all aviation personnel, including pilots, flight attendants, and aircraft controllers must pass an English proficiency test and meet the requirements. Before that, language skills were not checked in any standard way.
Now let that sink in for a moment.
Tech/Design/Business English
In Tech, Design and Business we do have our own set of languages. I am not talking about programming languages. Try to explain to your grandma/grandpa what exactly was decided in the last SAFE PI planning. You can substitute PI planning with almost every other meeting we have in our company. Now ask for honest feedback: "Can you summarize what I just told you?" Be prepared, it might be the case, that your elderly relatives are very kind to you and try to avoid the task you just gave them. But they will most likely not be able to summarize what you have explained to them. I already have issues trying to explain such things to my parents. I can already sense while speaking, that my parents won't understand a word.
Although you and I were using English as a language. Our terminology, acronyms, processes, and neologism makes Tech/Design/Business English a very complex language.
¿Habla español?
I had the luck to work with many great people in my career so far and I am more than grateful for every one of them. Nevertheless, I discovered a couple of things for myself over the years. We are all working in the field of Information Technology, Design, and Business. We are all speaking the same language and share the same enthusiasm and skills. And still, we are different. We are all shaped and formed during our private and professional lives in ways one can only imagine. We all have a wide range of different religious, social, ethnic, and educational backgrounds. Living close to our families or far away from them. These differences became more and more visible to me with the amount of time I have spent with them. Differences in how colleagues perceive what you are trying to tell them. Differences in how people value their pursuits and sometimes sacrifice their benefits for the sake of the group. Differences in how authorities communicate with subordinates and vice versa. And these are only the people that I had the chance to work with. You have made your own experiences and shared time with so many more great souls.
What we are now tapping into is the field of intercultural communication. Gert (Gerard Hendrik) Hofstede (Dutchman, born on October 3, 1928, Haarlem, Netherlands) is a Dutch sociologist who proposed an indicators set that determines the various people's cultural characteristics based on research conducted in the 1960-70s. The subject was part of my studies for one semester. At that time my brain did not understand the extent of the topic and how important it will be for my future life. Intercultural communication describes the discipline that studies communication across different cultures and social groups. In other words, how culture affects communication. There is an impressive amount of research done in the field of intercultural communication which investigates topics like:
- Collectivist versus Individualistic
- High Context versus Low Context
- Power Distance
- Feminity versus Masculinity
- Uncertainty Avoidance
- Long-term Orientation versus Short-term Orientation
- Indulgence versus Restraint
All of them are worth investigating and I encourage you to do so. I have gathered further readings which should get you started.
On top of every culture, there is you, you how you perceive the world around you, and you, how you make sense of everything which is shaping you. Your personal touch might very well steer you into a counter course of what your culture tried to induce into you for the entirety of your childhood and more. I hereby am not suggesting that you are all rebels. I want to highlight that the personal level of communication can be far off from how the folks back in your hometown used to talk. If you haven't already met a vast variety of people during your school time you will definitely do so in your professional life. In Software Development I have had the chance to work with many great people from all over the world. Although at some point already familiar with the concept of intercultural communication I often unknowingly said or did something I thought would be appropriate at this exact moment in time… it wasn't. Having the basics of intercultural communication in mind is necessary but not sufficient. Get to know the person you are talking to and discover a new level of communication.
We have learned a couple of things about communication, let's take a second look at the introductory example. The first officer, in disregard of what the pilot told him, made a severe mistake in not properly communicating the extent of the situation. Maybe, in her/his culture, it is common to understate issues and it can be rude to talk about severe issues or problems directly. Nevertheless, the situation required clear and fact-based information. Correct identification of the situation was therefore not possible. All further steps in the aeronautical decision-making process of the ATC were from then on based on false information and we all know the outcome. I often find myself in meetings where colleagues or superiors introduce me to a brand new process that will revolutionize how our company works, solve all the problems and issues at once and make us all happier. Thanks to good marketing everybody is excited and eager to implement the new processes with huge costs in time, money, and motivation only to find out that in the end, it didn't work — again. I do not want to sound pessimistic, I want to tell you my perspective. Looking into software development and all the processes we have,
I want to learn from aviation and invest more time and effort into educating our colleagues on how to properly and fruitfully communicate in a standardized and organized way.
Important factors for this, in my opinion, are honest, transparent, and truthful communication where hidden agendas or intercultural communication pitfalls are avoided. And to make one point clear, more communication is not equal to better communication. I think based on this foundation, processes can be fruitful.
Lost in translation
An enterprise company operating in multiple countries spread over multiple continents. What is the first thing that comes into your mind? For me, it is a rich and diverse project team over as many time zones as possible. During my early career, I was exposed to a trend in IT where teams could not be diverse enough. I know many companies which still steer 100% in this direction, but I also know many who are not. What I am trying to do here is to make you as a reader think. Think about your current circumstances, where are you working? Who are your colleagues? Do you work effectively together? Is communication easy for you or is it a burden? Do you have the feeling that meetings actually create useful artifacts or are they mostly a waste of time? Ask yourselves these questions and assess. I can only speak for myself and I have observed both. In my work, a rich and diverse team can accelerate me, but there have also been times when it slowed me down. When looking at the example I showed you earlier. Aviation English is a language that was an agreement on communication but it was not part of any training or checks. It is important to say, that this has nothing to do with the people per se. When I came to college, in Germany, I had the opportunity to choose if I wanted my studies and lectures in German or English. I was motivated and although my mother tongue is German, I wanted my studies to be in English. This was exciting to me and silly young me thought it would be good to already study in English since the language of IT was English. Now I really regret my decision. During all of my studies, I was confronted with a lot of bad English. Many interesting topics got lost in translation, simply because the lecturer was not proficient enough in her/his language skills. Please do not get me wrong here, my English at that time was not better either. I am just trying to make the point that the content of a message can be severely harmed when not communicated properly. During my career, I often did applicant interviews and had to clearly state my veto. The applicant might have had the best CV, and great experience, but bad English skills. In the IT industry, we have the great opportunity to have rich and diverse teams. This is a circumstance not exclusive to IT but it is still in my opinion a gift we should be thankful for. To make sure we respect and maintain said privilege I have a suggestion. I am suggesting that if we put so much emphasis on what technologies an applicant knows, for how many years she/he has worked with tech stack a, b or c. We should also check thoroughly if her/his English skills are proficient enough to communicate properly in a big and diverse company. We should offer and also expect and check from new hires to improve their language skills, if necessary. Language should never be a limiting factor. Coming from IT and especially web development, I have to deal with accessibility day in and day out. For me, it is easy to understand that digital tools and devices are about inclusion. In my opinion, it is the same with language.
Let's take this a step further. A good colleague of mine introduced me to an amazing article on some second world war CIA practices.
How to effectively sabotage your organization's productivity
The CIA created the "Simple Sabotage Field Manual" in 1944 on how everyday people could help the allies weaken their country by reducing production in factories, offices, and transportation lines. There is a wonderful article from the business insider which highlights that. Despite being written in 1944 these instructions are timeless. I am sharing with you the selected list of instructions from the business insider article, filtered for communication. See if any of those listed below remind you of our organization, your colleagues, or even yourself.
Organizations and Conferences
- Insist on doing everything through "channels." Never permit shortcuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions.
- Make "speeches." Talk as frequently as possible and at great length. Illustrate your "points" by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences.
- When possible, refer all matters to committees, for "further study and consideration." Attempt to make the committee as large as possible — never less than five.
- Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible.
- Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, and resolutions.
- Refer back to matters decided upon at the last meeting and attempt to re-open the question of the advisability of that decision.
- Hold conferences when there is more critical work to be done.
- Multiply the procedures and clearances involved in issuing instructions, paychecks, and so on. See that three people have to approve everything where one would do.
- Work slowly.
- Contrive as many interruptions to your work as you can.
- Do your work poorly and blame it on bad tools, machinery, or equipment. Complain that these things are preventing you from doing your job right.
- Never pass on your skill and experience to a new or less skillful worker.
I highly encourage you to read the full business insider article for some more bitter-sweet laughs.
Foster your communication
Although being funny to read, the sad truth is that some of these instructions are common practice in our organization. I advise you to take this list into your notes, bookmark the article, read through it frequently, and ask yourself: Do my communication behaviors fall into the same categories? If yes, no worries! Everybody has to start from somewhere. Remember the ADM process:
- Identify your situation and ask yourself: Am I sabotaging my company? It's important, to be honest here! (Remember: Accurately detecting it enables you to make correct decisions and raise the probability of success)
- Evaluate your options, there are plenty! Seek feedback from people you trust and ask them for honest feedback on your ways of communication, do an Udemy course. Heck, maybe even join a debating club!
- Choose from your generated options while accessing the risks and viability.
- Act according to your plan.
- Evaluate if your action was successful and prepare for further decisions.
This is not easy – but it can be done. You can do it!
Now to bring this article to an end let's look at the last dimension of communication.
Are you talking to me?
I often find myself in situations where I talk about colleagues and superiors rather than talking with them. Talking about colleagues is easy, but with most things in life, the outcome of easy is not great. It takes courage to work on yourself and even more to reach out for help. There is no effortless solution, be honest and ask yourself if you really want to change something about how you communicate and how you are perceived while communicating. This article is at most only a catalyst that will hopefully ignite your own journey.
We have learned how two, at first sight, completely different professions share many fundamental communication skills. We have had a look at the aeronautical decision-making process, what intercultural communication is, that processes are only as good as the material we put into them to be processed, how to effectively sabotage your company and what you can do to foster and improve your communication.
We touched on many topics today and I hope this article touched you personally in at least one of them. If you now think about what you have read in the last couple of minutes I feel already successful in my educational mission and if you remember only one thing then something along the lines of this:
'Don't worry the worst mistake you can make, is to not communicate at all.'
Further readings
As promised here you have a small collection to further educate yourself about the topics in this article.

Press Release
Yankton Woman Sentenced for Obtaining a Controlled Substance by Misrepresentation, Fraud, Forgery, Deception, and Subterfuge
United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that a Wagner, South Dakota, man has been indicted by a federal grand jury for Threatening Communications.
Kyle Gullikson, age 29, was indicted on December 3, 2019. He appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Veronica L. Duffy on February 7, 2020, and pled not guilty to the Indictment.
The maximum penalty upon conviction is up to 5 years in federal prison and/or a $250,000 fine, 3 years of supervised release, and $100 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. Restitution may also be ordered.
The Indictment alleges that on or about November 5, 2019, Gullikson knowingly and willfully transmitted threatening messages on Facebook.
The charge is merely an accusation and Gullikson is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
The investigation is being conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey C. Clapper is prosecuting the case.
Gullikson was remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service pending trial. A trial date has not been set.

Amidst a lot of exciting announcements during the Nintendo Direct digital event, Square Enix announced Project Triangle Strategy, a tactical RPG with pixel art aesthetics similar to Final Fantasy Tactics and Octopath Traveler.
Temporarily titled 'Project Triangle Strategy', the game has a medieval setting, a dense storyline, and a beautiful art style that mixes ancient graphics and modern effects. You play Serenoa Wolffort, heir to house Wolffort, in a plot that will be denser than it looks, with several decisions which create divergent paths from other players. One of the most striking features is Conviction. Three major guiding convictions prevail: Utility, Morality, and Liberty. Depending on your choices these parameters change, but are not shown in the game and reflect directly on how the story unfolds as well as on the companions who will join your cause.
According to the Demo, the game consists of multiple stages. The first is an exploration, where you walk around the map collecting items, information about people, and reviewing mechanisms or terrain features to help you in battle. Use information collected at other times to manipulate - or amicably convince - companions to help you.
At the end of the exploration, you go to the world map similar to Final Fantasy Tactics and can set up an encampment to buy items and check the status of your characters. So far, there wasn't a lot available on the demo. We can analyze the members, see their equipment and status, but we have no information about changing or evolving classes, a recurring feature in tactical games. After planning and sharpening our weapons, it's time to show that in video games the sword is mightier than the pen.
The battle gameplay has some mechanics that try to diversify from the current tactical RPGs on the market. It's based on turns, has different terrains that alter hits, special attacks (no innovation so far, Squarie), and some complex mechanics that put your spells and your chemistry lessons on trial (like using fire spells on ice to create water and then throwing an electricity spell to take advantage of the water's natural conductivity to cause area damage - Divinity did it first, ahem).
Check out the full presentation trailer if you are the visual and not reader-type:
A demo version is available on the Switch if you want to jump to your conclusions. Keep in mind the release is planned for 2022, so a lot can change.

The HP 50.0 service error usually indicates a problem with the fuser; although, it can mean there is an issue with the power supply or control circuits. Most of the time, however, it is simply a worn out fuser.
What is a fuser, you ask?
A fuser is a replaceable printer assembly that heats up in order to melt or "fuse" the toner onto paper. It consists of a heated roller or film, a pressure roller, drive gears, and sensors. Because this unit uses heat and pressure during the printing process, it is prone to wearing out.
Turning the printer off to cool down will sometimes eliminate the error message and allow printing to continue, but this will only work for a short time; this is NOT a fix. The 50 error is a warning that you will have a dead printer on hand very soon. At first sight of this error, it would be wise to order a new fuser or maintenance kit. It won't be long before installation of a new fuser becomes necessary.

Shared Mobility Has Yet to Reach Mainstream Adoption
Mobility Services
According to our survey of more than 2,000 U.S. adults, shared mobility services have yet to become a mass phenomenon. Just 17.5 percent of the respondents claim to have used a short-distance ride-sharing service (e.g. Uber) in the past 12 months, with long-distance ride-sharing, bike- and car-sharing seeing even lower adoption rates.
In general our results indicate that many people still rely on ticket machines (public transportation) or the old-fashioned wave (taxi) to get from A to B these days. Online bookings of traditional transportation services aren't particularly common, and nearly half of the respondents haven't booked any transportation service online in the prior 12 months.
The following chart shows which mobility services U.S. Americans have booked online in the past 12 months.

It's once again time for Catching Up On Cinema's 3rd annual, "Kyle's Killer October" event month!
This year's theme is horror musicals, with our first review this month being Jim Sharman's, The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)!
Originally a stage production created by Richard O'Brien (Riff Raff), and critically despised during it's original theater run, the film is widely regarded as the quintessential cult/midnight film.
Starring Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick, the aforementioned Richard O'Brien and a brief turn by a then nascent Meat Loaf, the film is a raucous and often hilarious experience that was massively ahead of it's time in a variety of ways.
A massive cultural touchstone for many, the film enjoys a nigh legendary reputation among those within and adjacent to the LGBTQ+ community, and continues to be screened in theaters worldwide on a consistent basis.

Kesya Rodrigues, one of our Brazilian Student Ambassadors, shares her tips for coping with the new reality of student life in lockdown
When the pandemic hit I wasn't expecting it to last so long. Everything started at the end of my first year in college, so I was able to experience some "normal" student life. However, I didn't know what to expect from my second year. Most of my friends were studying different subjects and with online classes, so I presumed it would be harder to make new friends.
Living abroad during these times can be a challenge, especially when you can't do things that are part of your routine, such as going out and socialising. But luckily during the lockdown, I learned how to keep myself occupied.
So here are some tips for what to do . . .
Online events
As I mentioned at the start of this blog one of my biggest fears was not being able to make any friends. But thanks to Dublin Business School, that didn't happen! My college organised a series of online events that would take place at least three times during the week, such as game nights, quizzes and even parties. I got to meet a lot of fun people, which made such a difference during my time at home. I never felt alone because there was always something to do.
If you're already here and your college doesn't do anything like that, perhaps you could take the lead and organize a Zoom meeting with your classmates and get to know each other.
Go where you can
I was never an outdoors person but during lockdown, this changed completely. I have been in Ireland for some time now, but I never got to appreciate the parks and beaches as much as I do now.
Also, walking is good for your mental and physical health.
My favourite places in Dublin to go for a walk:
Portmarnock Beach
At home
Learning how to enjoy your own company is also essential. There are plenty of things you can do at home, such as learning a new language, take online courses, improve your cooking skills, learn sign language, work out, read and many more.
Some of my favourite things to do at home are working out, reading, yoga and meditating.
I hope some of these ideas help students already in Ireland; for those arriving soon I hope this has given you an insight into what it's like to be a student during the pandemic in Ireland.

The theory is one of multiple being pursued by investigators as they attempt to determine the origin of the coronavirus that has resulted in a pandemic and killed hundreds of thousands. The US does not believe the virus was associated with bioweapons research, and officials noted that the intelligence community is also exploring a range of other theories regarding the origination of the virus, as would typically be the case for high-profile incidents, according to an intelligence source.
The theory has been pushed by supporters of the President, including some congressional Republicans, who are eager to deflect criticisms of Trump's handling of the pandemic.
US intelligence is reviewing sensitive intelligence collection aimed at the Chinese government, according to the intelligence source, as they pursue the theory. But some intelligence officials say it is possible the actual cause may never be known.
Joint Chief of Staff Chairman Mark Milley acknowledged this week that US intelligence is taking "a hard look" at the question of whether the novel coronavirus originated in a lab.
"I would just say, at this point, it's inconclusive although the weight of evidence seems to indicate natural (origin). But we don't know for certain," Milley told reporters on Tuesday.
The lab theory has been denied by the Chinese government and many outside experts have also cast doubt on the idea, CNN has previously reported.
A source close to the White House coronavirus task force also cautioned that "every time there is an outbreak someone proposes that the virus or other pathogen came out of a lab."
One official called the way China has handled dealing with the virus "completely reprehensible" — and intelligence investigators are determined to build a fuller picture of how it originated.
"The Chinese Communist Party didn't give Americans access when we needed it in that most timely point at the very beginning," Pompeo said earlier this week. "Then we know they have this lab. We know about the wet (fresh food) markets. We know that the virus itself did originate in Wuhan. So all those things come together. There's still a lot we don't know, and this is what the President was talking about today. We need to know answers to these things."
Some of the officials said the US intends for China pay a price, but recognize the US has to be careful not to inflict a cost on China before the pandemic is under control and until they have a more information about its creation.
CNN's Jim Acosta contributed to this report.

Microsoft is Testing Ads in Wordpad You Might Actually Be Glad to See
Since the launch of Windows 10, Microsoft has experimented with various ways to advertise its apps and capabilities. Most of these have been ill received for one reason or another many people fundamentally don't like it when you give yourself the power to push advertising to their desktops in new and exciting ways but MS may have actually come up with an ad concept that isn't a terrible idea.
Specifically, it put ads for the online version of Office in Wordpad.
Wordpad, in case you've never used it, is the basic word processor that Microsoft ships for free with all versions of Windows since Windows 95. It can't open documents created in Microsoft Word, lacks a spell checker, thesaurus, pagination functions, footnotes and endnotes. In fact, it'll just be easier to show you what it can do:
If you don't see a familiar-looking icon on that ribbon, chances are that Wordpad can't do the thing you want it to (though it can edit RTF documents with features that it can't itself create). Microsoft is reportedly testing some small user notifications telling people they can use the online version of Microsoft Office applications for free. To be clear, this isn't the same thing as Office 365 — MS also has entirely-online versions of its applications that you access via Outlook.com.
Rafael Rivera (@WithinRafael) announced the discovery on Twitter:
BREAKSCLUSIVE: Microsoft WordPad is getting a new feature! An ad for Office web apps!
Screenshot shows 6 experimental variants.
vso/tfs id 23834136
variants 1-6 pic.twitter.com/TdYOuKkLZc
— Rafael Rivera (@WithinRafael) January 20, 2020
Here's what the image actually looks like:
Truthfully, I can't say I mind these ads. First of all, Wordpad's feature set is a fraction of what you want in a word processor. People like to complain about the endless bloat of modern applications, but a functional spell checker is a core feature as far as I'm concerned.
Even a quick glance at the online version of Word shows a much more robust set of features than Wordpad has ever provided. You have the option to save your work locally in a .DOCX file or to upload it to OneDrive. Having tested the online version of Word this afternoon, I'd much rather use it than Wordpad.
Finally, there's the fact that Microsoft is putting these ads in a place where it actually makes sense to find them. If you are attempting to use Wordpad, you're probably desperate for a solution. Showing people they can use a simplified version of Office for free by advertising it in Wordpad is actually a smart move. It's where MS is most likely to find its customers.
Microsoft has always faced challenges when it comes to explaining new products and services. People tend to prefer things continue to work the way they always have and resist learning new methods. It's difficult to communicate the changes to a product as vast as a modern OS in a way that's easy for ordinary users to follow. I've said before that I didn't have a problem with the intrinsic idea of Microsoft advertising products and services to Windows users, but that I objected to the way the company went about doing it.
Embedding a small text notification in a highly relevant application to notify people they have a better free option available online is the right way to handle this kind of thing. It's certainly preferable to cynically scaring people over their browser choice, embedding random ads in the Start Menu, or resetting their application defaults upon upgrade. Anyone stuck using Wordpad who doesn't want to use Office in any shape or form should investigate LibreOffice as an alternative product.

In: Uncategorized28 Aug 2006
I discover today that the campaign against Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola has spread to Britain and America. A report in the Independent on 19 August said Sussex University was the first campus in the country to ban all Coca-Cola products from its students' union:
"The decision to withdraw Coca-Cola from the university comes at a time when its products have already been banned in schools, as concerns rise about rates of obesity among children. Universities in the US have also banned Coca-Cola and a quarter of states in India have outlawed products following concerns that they contain 27 times the permitted levels of pesticides.
"Campaigners also claim that bottling plants in India have depleted local water tables and deprived farmers of their livelihoods. In Colombia and other South American states, the company has been accused of ignoring anti-union abuses at its factories."
There is meant to be a campaign group called UK Students Against Coca-Cola but I cannot find a website for it.

At Denali Hunts, we specialize in providing guided hunts of big-game animals. Some of Alaska's most iconic species are caribou and black bear. Caribou are large, majestic members of the deer family; black bears are smaller and more docile than their grizzly cousins.
We offer semi-guided seven day hunting expeditions that include four hunters to one guide for $5,200. If you'd like to try your hand at Alaskan bow hunting near Fairbanks-North Star, AK, consult with the experts here at Denali Hunts to learn more about the intricacies associated with bow hunting near the Alaskan Interior.
Caribou Hunting
Caribou are a beautiful migratory animal that moves across the great plains and tundra of the Last Frontier. Here at Denali Hunts, we hunt from the Western Arctic herd of caribou. This heard, which contains as many as 350,000 caribou, or one-third of the state's entire caribou population, moves from the northern reaches of the Brooks Range into the Seward Peninsula when adverse weather conditions begin in August. We hunt along one of the Western Arctic herd's main migratory routes.
We offer semi-guided hunting expeditions that include four hunters to one guide. Hunting a migratory species, like caribou, is challenging. If you're up to the tasks at hand, however, it can be exceedingly rewarding! Caribou hunting near Fairbanks-North Star, AK, is a once-in-a-lifetime experience unlike any other.
Black Bear Hunting
We hunt both young and pope black bears, indigenous to the Alaskan Interior. These beautiful black bears near Fairbanks-North Star, AK, make for excellent trophies. For $4,600 per person we fly into a remote lake site via flat plane and camp in comfortable tents during our five-day black bear expeditions. Black bear expeditions take place in June, when it's light enough for us to hunt at night.
Schedule Your Big Game Hunt
Denali Hunts is the premier provider of guided hunting near the Alaskan Interior. Call one of our friendly representatives today at 907-378-7977 to learn more about our packages, pricing and any upcoming expeditions.

A handful of renewable energy stocks, particularly solar and alternative energy companies, which are part of the broader Oil-Energy sector, are set to release their Q4 numbers soon. Notably, the results of these companies are expected to reflect solid installation activities as well as an increase in the shipment of their products, backed by the economic recovery witnessed in recent times that has been boosting demand.
Amid this backdrop, we expect renewable energy stocks like Sunnova Energy International NOVA and Enovix Corporation ENVX to report favorable Q4 results.
Here's What to Expect
Per a report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), published in January 2023, the U.S. electric power sector operated about 74 gigawatts (GW) of solar photovoltaic capacity at the end of 2022, which is about three times the capacity at the end of 2017. Moreover, U.S. wind power has grown by more than 60% since 2017 to about 143 GW of capacity.
With solar and wind energy constituting a major portion of renewable energy expansion, the aforementioned capacity enhancement is expected to get reflected in the renewable energy companies' Q4 results.
As an evidence, Enphase Energy ENPH, a prominent solar stock, witnessed a solid 60.6% year-over-year growth in its microinverter shipment in the fourth quarter of 2022 and a 21.9% hike in battery shipment. Such solid shipments significantly boosted Enphase's Q4 revenues significantly, a trend expected to get reflected in the results of other clean energy stocks as well.
Notably, factors like rapidly increasing corporate investments in renewables, favorable government policies such as extended federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for offshore wind energy, the extension of production tax credit along with the declining price of raw materials like wind turbines and solar modules are likely to have contributed to clean energy stocks' quarterly performance.
Moreover, thanks to the economic recovery observed over the past few quarters, there has been an upward trend in installation activities for clean energy stocks, a trend expected to have driven demand in the fourth quarter of 2022 as well.
Also, growing hydropower generation has been driving revenues and earnings of clean energy stocks. In particular, hydroelectric generation in the western United States increased significantly in the 2021–22 water year relative to the 20-year low it experienced during the 2020–21 water year, as stated by EIA.
Considering all the aforementioned factors and data, both earnings and revenue projections for the broader market indicate a decent improvement from the fourth-quarter 2021 scorecard.
However, higher logistics costs and component costs as a result of global supply chain pricing pressure may have had some impact on the overall performance of the clean energy companies.
Q4 Projections
Per the latest Earnings Outlook, fourth-quarter earnings of the Oil-Energy sector are expected to improve a solid 53.5% on a 16.2% sales increase.
Zacks Methodology
Given the high degree of diversity in the clean energy space, finding the right stocks with the potential to beat estimates might be quite a daunting task.
However, our proprietary Zacks methodology makes this fairly simple.
We are focusing on stocks that have the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
Our research shows that for stocks with this combination, the chances of an earnings surprise are as high as 70%.
Earnings ESP provides the percentage difference between the Most Accurate Estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they're reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Our Choices
Here we present two stocks that are expected to beat earnings estimates in this reporting cycle.
Sunnova: It is a residential solar and energy storage service provider. In October 2022, Sunnova announced that it powered the homes of over 30,000 customers with solar and battery storage in Puerto Rico during the aftermath of Hurricane Fiona, which hit the ground at the onset of the fourth quarter. This might have boosted the company's Q4 revenues as well as customer count.

Waterford twins with Ramallah!
The Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) warmly welcomes the passing of a motion by Waterford City and County Council that the Waterford Metropolitan District will twin with the Ramallah Municipality in Palestine. We commend the work done by local activists in the South East branch of the IPSC to achieve this twinning which is another shining example of the unbreakable solidarity between the peoples of Ireland and Palestine. The process of twinning is invaluable in that it builds links between communities in both localities and the IPSC South East members have forged strong connections between Palestinians and Irish schools, trade unions, … Continue reading

A sheet of haze lingered over the national capital and its suburbs on Thursday morning, with infuriated farm fires and a fall in the wind speed and temperatures pushing air quality to the worst levels in around a year.
Already Health experts declared that amid the Covid19 pandemic, air pollution could become a serious health concern for about the two crore residents of the national capital.
As the skies hung heavy and acrid over the region, people complained of itchy throat, watery eyes, and rashes. By its occurring due to unfavourable meteorological conditions – calm winds and low temperatures – and smoke from farm fires in neighbouring states led to a dense layer of haze on Wednesday night as the air quality index entered the "severe" zone. And Calm winds and low temperatures trap pollutants close to the ground, while favourable wind speed helps in their dispersion.
According to the CPCB data, PM10 levels in Delhi-NCR stood at 561 micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3) and it was the highest since 15 November last year, when it was 637 µg/m3. PM10 levels below 100 µg/m3 are considered safe in India. However, the intake of every 22 micrograms per cubic metre of polluted air is equivalent to smoking a cigarette.
PM10 is particulate matter with a diameter of 10 micrometers which is inhalable. These particles include dust, pollen, and mold spores.
The levels of PM2, finer particles that can even enter the bloodstream, were 347 µg/m3. PM2.5 levels up to 60 µg/m3 are considered safe.
The reason behind a sudden spike of pollution in the bursting of firecrackers in the Delhi-NCR region to mark the festival of Karwa Chauth. Despite being aware of the situation people bursted even it was not Diwali. subsequently, Arvind Kejriwal appealed for crackerless Diwali. This year amid the Covid19 crisis many state governments banned the sale of firecrackers for the safety of Covid patients. People are not realizing its impact but it may make the pandemic worse.
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the maximum wind speed was 5 kilometres per hour on Thursday morning and the minimum temperature of 11.2 degrees Celsius.
IMD officials said the sudden change in the wind pattern led to "subsidence" — the downward movement of air over a large area when it cools and becomes heavier.
VK Soni, the head of IMD's environment monitoring research centre, said "The wind speed slowed down suddenly after 10 am in the Delhi-NCR region. The temperatures have dipped alarmingly over the last few days."
Further added, the haze was primarily smoke from stubble burning in Punjab and Haryana. Unfavourable meteorological conditions trapped it in Delhi-NCR.

This is the next post in a series of articles discussing fathers' rights in Little Rock, Arkansas. Our previous article discussed the importance of conducting discovery in child custody cases. It is imperative to build one's case using objective evidence that meets the Court's strict evidentiary requirements. Discovery provides attorneys with various tools that allow them to gather testimony, records, documents, and other information to prove a father's case at trial. An experienced lawyer will understand how to navigate the process to ensure that such information can be effectively submitted in Court. In this post, we will discuss what a father can expect at a custody trial. If you need assistance, contact our office to schedule a consultation with an attorney.
Unlike criminal or other types of civil trials, family law trials including custody issues are not heard by juries. Instead, they are bench trials, meaning that the Judge will hear all of the evidence and render the ultimate verdict. In some cases, the Judge will issue the final custody order immediately at the conclusion of the trial. In other instances, where the Court needs more time to consider the evidence presented by the parties, the Judge may issue their decision within a few days. Apart from these differences, custody trials proceed similarly to their criminal or civil counterparts.
The proceeding will begin with the attorneys for both sides making opening statements to the Court. This is an opportunity for both lawyers to provide an overview to the Judge of the issues that need resolved and their respective client's legal arguments. The parent who initiated the proceeding will be the plaintiff and the responding party will be the defendant. The plaintiff's attorney will present their client's case first. This may include calling witnesses and presenting other evidence in support of the plaintiff's case. The defendant will then present its case to the Judge, following the same format. After the defendant concludes, the plaintiff will have the opportunity to rebut the evidence offered by the defendant. Each attorney will then make closing arguments, which review and summarize the key elements of their cases. As stated above, the Judge will consider the information presented and may render their verdict immediately or request additional time to issue their decision.
It is important to remember that trials are formal legal proceedings and the Court will strictly enforce the rules of evidence and procedure throughout the process. Your attorney must understand these requirements and have the skills necessary to comply with the rules and communicate effectively with the Judge. Our firm has extensive experience in child custody trials and takes pride in assisting Arkansas fathers in such matters. Contact us today if you need assistance with a custody matter. In addition to Little Rock, we handle matters in Fayetteville, Fort Smith, Springdale, Jonesboro, North Little Rock, Conway, Rogers, Pine Bluff, and throughout the rest of Arkansas.

Expert Advice: Music editor Piotr Orlov breaks down how to build a press kit (Part I)
Guest post by Piotr Orlov*
Part 1: The Audit
It's a fact: the music media landscape has changed radically over the past decade. Yet it's also true that even though the media world has become increasingly crowded — more digital, social, user-/audience-generated — and that platforms for exposure barely resemble the music magazines and radio stations of yore, most strategies and tools enabling new artists to build and strive towards success remain essentially the same.
Foremost among these tools is the media kit, a collection of promotional materials that may seem outdated — but if approached correctly, are still absolutely on-time and useful beyond an artist's initial expectations.
What goes into a press kit
- An artist bio that describes the artist's music and their story.
- A set of license-free images that cast the artist in a flattering light, and can be used to promote the artist and their work.
- Examples of the artist's music, often only for personal consumption by the media recipient — but, at times, cleared for public promotion of the artist.
These central pieces of an artist's media kit have remained static for decades. This is what every agent, booker, record label rep, journalist, blogger, editor, brand marketing consultant and all music/media industry professional will want from absolutely every artist they are considering working with, booking, signing, covering, etc. These are the assets that you need to have when you walk through the door.
Assets, individualized
Of course, nowadays, not all of these assets are alike. For instance, a bio could be a short video documentary you also post on Instagram TV — or it could be 500 words you compose on a Google doc. Press images could be iPhone pics taken by your friend, an expensive photo shoot with a professional portrait photographer, or pixelated images made by an art-school colleague. The music you share on SoundCloud could be a recording of a live show, demos or first mastered songs, or a DJ mix that features your own tracks.
These may seem like simple decisions, and in many cases they are — driven by aesthetics, cost, ease of use, degree of usefulness, not to mention the support you are receiving from people in your arts community and your budding fanbase.
Doing the research
Let's call this first part of building a press kit, The Audit. It requires taking a look all around you, then seeing who is already excited and interested in what you are doing, and how their skill-set may be of direct help to your initial creative ambitions. This is where wholeheartedly engaging with the idea of "community," of "scene," of "it [taking] a village" to grow something of note becomes not simply a cliche, but a smart first step of your musical career.
Maybe more importantly, a great Audit will also require looking at your own skill-set and asking questions about the kind of music you make, and the kind of artist you are hoping to become.
Recognizing your public persona
For example, an electronic music artist/DJ is a lot more likely to post a meticulously compiled mix than just any old DJ set, whereas a band of instrumentalists that's already played live to great responses, is willing to just let their concert recordings speak for them. The piece of music you choose to make public says something about who you are — and who you want to be.
So does what your bio reads or looks like — or what your artist images are like. And even where some of these assets are likely to be found. This is an especially important choice regarding visual assets and platforms, which are inherently full of aesthetic biases, and which attract different kinds of audiences.
Questions to ask when conducting an audit
- What kind of an artist are you — and are aspiring to be?
- Who's doing it right and where?
- Look for artists you admire, and see who is engaging them and where. Don't only check for the superstars that you want to become — they'll have many followers on lots of platforms, and get coverage from many editorial outlets because of their notoriety — but look for local or up-and-coming artists you think your music has an affinity with. Use their example, build on their successes, learn from their missteps.
- On social platforms, where are they getting traction? How are they getting traction? What is their level of engagement with fans and followers? Are they posting a lot of content as they go along, or minimal content that's been perfected? Are they staying quiet when confronting issues and conversations, or getting out into the community.
- On editorial platforms, who are the bloggers, writers, photographers and curators engaging these artists? Make a list and contact them when you feel you are ready to share your media kit, and your music – or to invite them to come to your performances.
- What are the assets you need to create?
- Again, look for artists you admire and whose music you feel yours has an affinity with, maybe even an audience overlap, and see what assets they're using that make sense for you. Or pivot off what they're doing that doesn't make sense for you and personalize your approach.
- Look at how these artists use the assets (posts of photos, videos, music, or even a logo) to engage with audiences, or with outlets. See if there are learnings from the way they interact with audiences, or from the audience's questions or comments on the assets. (The artists' public experiences on these platforms are full of lessons for how you should or shouldn't engage your potential fans, and how to draw them out.)
- What elements of the media kit are most important to YOU as an artist?
- Is it the images, the story of you as an artist, the presentation of your music? — and what is the most authentic way for you to create those elements?
- Who's in your network that can help you create those elements?
- Today, there are infinite ways to tell your story, to present your image and to showcase your music. Some of those choices are driven by strong artistic vision, some by practicality, some by expense. Making allies to help you with creation of your story builds and expands an artist's community, and can always serve a greater purpose than just the creation of assets.
- Think strategically: For example, friends who are professional photographers / visual artists can potentially make great press images, a writer who loves your music could author your bio, a budding filmmaker can make a short video biography. Allies can help you build.
- For the DIY-minded, the digital age offers a plethora of tools and resources to craft your own assets. All things we will get into shortly.
Part II: The Build
Once you've answered The Audit questions for yourself, you'll have a clearer direction of what you're trying to do with your press kit. In "Part II: The Build," we get into the general aesthetics of putting together the press kit, both the broader vision and the pesky details that save you time, money and hassle, and make it easier to ingratiate you to the person whose eye or ear you are trying to catch.
