Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is slated to hit theaters in less than 6 months; however, aside from the announcement of its main cast made at San Diego Comic Con nearly two years ago, not much else has been revealed about the film. No official set photos have been released, nor have we received any trailer. For the most part the project – like pretty much everything else lined up for Marvel's Phase 4 – has been shrouded in secrecy…until now.
Thanks to some photos posted to Twitter by user Ryans_Ramblings it looks like we may actually have a clearer look at the film and some of its characters.
The photos, pictured above, show some of the action figures being released under the 'Marvel Legends' brand. Not only do we finally get a good look at actor Simu Liu as the titular Shang-Chi, we also get to see what looks like his costume. The fact that it doesn't look like any 'suit' we've seen so far in the MCU is exciting because it appears that this film will be just as faithful to the culture it aims to capture as Black Panther.
Additionally, we also get up-close looks at characters named Wenwu, Death Dealer, and Xialing.
What's most interesting though are the character descriptions of Shang-Chi and, more specifically, Wenwu.
Shang Chi's description is as follows:
"Trained since childhood by the mysterious Ten Rings Organization, Shang-Chi must confront the past he thought he left behind when he is drawn back into his father's web."
Wenwu's, on the other hand reads:
"Shang-Chi's father Wenwu is the feared leader of the Ten Rings Organization, which has lurked in the shadows of the MCU since the very beginning."
While it was known that Wenwu would be The Mandarin, in all of the official material released thus far, the relationship between Shang-Chi and Wenwu had not been revealed. So the fact that our hero will actually be the son of The Mandarin is sure to cause some major complications.
Unfortunately, there isn't any information offered about Death Dealer or Xialing, and despite these leaks westill don't have a great sense of what the film will be about. Nevertheless, it's cool to finally see some of the veil pealed back, and hopefully these leaks are a tiny precursor to the release of some major official marketing materials in the coming weeks.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is scheduled to be released September 3, 2021 in theaters.

November 6, 2018 – U.S. Rep. Tom Reed won re-election to a fifth term in his Southern Tier district, defeating well-funded Democratic challenger Tracy Mitrano.
Reed, a Republican, held onto the 23rd District seat despite late indications the race was tightening, with some giving Mitrano, a cybersecurity expert from Yates County, a fighting chance to pull off an upset in the Republican-leaning district. Link to article

Cybersecurity Awareness Month – Week 3, Careers in Cyber
The Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is responsible for the optimum security of the organization's information and data. However, the role of a CISO has developed over the years as technology and security becomes increasingly important. According to studies, security leaders now influence over 90% of board and management decisions. Yet, Gartner reports that just only 12% of CISOs are "highly effective".
So, what makes an effective CISO? There is more to the job than simply preventing cyberattacks. CISOs must be multidimensional, and below is a list of six key traits that make for an effective CISO.
The CISO Six
1. Strong business acumen
As part of the role of a CISO, creating security policies and initiatives in line with the business' goals is imperative. Ultimately, CISOs need to create value for the company, and no security strategy will bring value if it is out of touch with the business' needs. To ensure a security approach that satisfies business goals, CISOs must have strong business acumen and be literate in all aspects of business.
2. Stakeholder interactions
Aligning with the business goals requires the CISO's interaction with other stakeholders. Additionally, CISOs need to understand the needs of other parties to create incentives that work for everyone. An effective CISO will establish strong relationships with business executives to maintain inter-department connections.
3. Good communicator
Most stakeholders are not IT professionals, so CISOs need to interact with them on a non-technical level. CISOs need to tailor the conversation to the audience and avoid the use of esoteric jargon. With clear communication, CISOs will have a more receptive audience which, in turn, improves their security efforts, whether that be implementing new initiatives or responding to an incident.
4. Strong leadership
Communication is a component of strong leadership. A CISO with good communication skills will inspire and motivate those around them, which is especially important for security as it can be deemed (by some) a dull topic. But motivation only lasts for so long – CISOs must make security a deep-rooted component of the working environment. Doing so starts with making security a more understood and accepted topic for all, and effective CISOs achieve this by leading by influence. CISOs can influence other executives to manage security risks. By giving them such a responsibility, non-IT executives become more actively involved with security. Additionally, the role of a CISOs should create a cybersecurity culture from top to bottom to ingrain the concept of security across the entire organization. With an organization-wide culture of cybersecurity awareness, CISOs make the organization more secure by limiting the risk of insider threats.
5. Organizational skills
CISOs manage security projects. Often, such projects are highly complex and time-consuming. An effective CISO will be very organized and naturally capable of planning, managing a budget and coordinating tasks to make the process more efficient.
6. Technical background
Effective CISOs might have to possess a range of characteristics, but one cannot deny that they must have a technical background. At the end of the day, the role of a CISO is to be responsible for security and technology; they need to have a sufficient technical foundation to develop effective security initiatives, make risk-based decisions and meet governance risk and compliance assessments. Moreover, CISOs' technical knowledge must be up to date as security is a constantly evolving domain where tools, threats, and vulnerabilities change daily. Lastly, an effective CISO must be open to learning, relearning, and unlearning to ensure they are always at the top of their game.
So, there's only one thing left to say: do you have what it takes?

More information
Paco Gómez
Alberto Martín
From March 22th, 2018 to June 17th, 2018.- From Tuesday to Saturday, from 11 am to 8 pm.- Sundays from 11am to 3pm.
Foundation Foto Colectania, Passeig Picasso 14, 08003, Barcelona, Spain
Francisco Gómez, (1918–1998), known as Paco Gómez he is one of the undisputed names of contemporary photography in the second half of the twentieth century. His presence in the photographic media begins with his admission to the Royal Photographic Society in 1956, it continues his subsequent entry into Afal in 1957 and the formation of the group La Palangana in 1959, with photographers like Gabriel Cualladó, Gerardo Vielba or Ramón Masats. This group was the initial germ of the so-called School of Madrid. The union of the group resulted from the close friendship among them and in common aesthetic and theoretical considerations about photography, far from the pictorialism and "salonism" that prevailed at the time, and with greater concern for social issues. Paco Gómez maintained an innovative way of looking, which is astonishingly relevant today, photographing interiors and exteriors of buildings and architectural constructions of the time. His importance in photography is also secured by its identification as a member of the School of Madrid. Much of the photographic legacy of Paco Gómez belongs today to Fundación Foto Colectania. It can also be found in collections such as the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (MNCARS), the IVAM and the Telefonica Foundation. Ramón Masats sais about him, "he was, in my opinion, the best photographer of my generation. Neither more nor less." (VV.AA.:2008)

I've been working One-On-One with a gentleman with full blown addictions to drugs and alcohol recently and after my recent post titled 10 Recommendations For A Healthy Future referencing how to beat an addictive compulsion when you've not crossed the line into addictive disease, he requested that I write a list for him.
So, this is written for people in early Addiction Recovery and for their families to read and gain a better insight into the life of a recovering addict / alcoholic.
Everyone who is seeking help for themselves or a loved one should understand that addiction (to alcohol, drugs, food, sex, gambling, etc) is a disease, and not some sort of moral failing or a weakness, or a lack of willpower, or even a simple inability to just say 'No'.
Addiction cannot be cured, but it can be managed. It can be halted. We can heal from it and we do recover! One day at a time it is very possible to be in remission and to go on to live happy and healthy lives.
Getting help either from a professional or another recovering addict / alcoholic (usually through the 12 Step Fellowships) that understands that addiction is a disease, is vital in the journey towards a successful recovery. By following the recommendations of people who've got personal experience and who help others either for altruistic reasons or in their professional capacity will allow for the very best chance at recovery with a bright and happy future.
Here are my 10 Tips for a successful recovery:
- Make Your Recovery Your Priority
It's really very important, particularly during the early stages of your recovery, that you take it seriously and commit to whatever is being asked of you by whoever you empower to teach you – Sober Coach, Therapist, Counsellor, Treatment Peer Group, Sponsor, Other Recovering Addicts / Alcoholics, etc, Put yourself first but keep your Recovery your primary focus. You may not get a second chance at recovery. There are far too many people that never survive their addiction and the chances of an overdose after someone's had a period of being drug and alcohol free rises so significantly that all relapses are major opportunities for death by misadventures (overdose). I don't mean to scare you, but respect the recovery you've got and you'll never have to play Russian Roulette again.
- Fellowship rather than Isolate
Addiction can be very lonely place to exist within, so Recovery has to be the opposite and be full of other people. You may find it tough at first to be around other people, but never forget just how tough it is to maintain an addiction, especially once the fun has left. If you're struggling to be around people in early recovery, remind yourself of the consequences and the feelings you were experiencing at the end of your addiction. The Fellowship or support system you create around yourself will give you a massive boost and keep you accountable to a new group of friends. They will be there when you need them and they will help you stay motivated and focused.
- Join a 12 Step Fellowship & Choose Your Home Group
There are 12 Step Groups for all types of addictions and for many other disorders these days such as Anorexia / Bulimia, Depression, OCD, Rape / Incest Survivors, Veterans, etc. I have found my particular 12 Step Fellowship to be a wonderful source of companionship, unity and resourceful people. It will provide you such wonderful value, help and wisdom to your own recovery efforts that it goes without saying that this is one of the 'musts' to a successful long term recovery.
- One Day At A Time – ODAAT
This is a Recovery slogan and could be considered a bit of a cliché – but it really is an accurate assessment of the daily programme of recovery – we get to stay on track in recovery just one day at a time – at least until you've worked the full 12 step programme and seen how your recovery programme will be working on autopilot. Remember, Recovery is a journey and not a destination. You may well struggle with obsessive thoughts and yearn for some of your old pastimes, especially at the beginning, but these too shall pass. Don't let these thoughts get the best of you. Keep an open mind, remain teachable and discover new techniques to overcome your negative thoughts and feelings, whilst remembering that sometimes the best we can do is not drink or drug one day, or one hour, or 5 minutes, or even 10 seconds at a time.
- Change Things. Change Everything. (Well, maybe not everything)
The most effective way to maintain a healthy recovery is to replace your bad habits with healthy, new ones. Surround yourself with positive people, and begin enjoying those things you used to enjoy before your addiction took over – family, books, music, comedy, theatre, DIY, gardening, exercise, etc. Search out cultural events and activities in your area that can stimulate your body and mind in a new, exciting and healthy way. These days there are a great many FaceBook Groups which serve local communities and geographical zones which can be a really useful way to connect with other similar minded people with whom you can share your hobbies and pastimes.
- Change your friends (at least temporarily)
When I wrote that you needed to change everything, this does include some of your friends. I don't mean all your friends, but certainly those that have been part of drinking or using history and assisting you to engage in your addiction instead of helping you to remain safe and out of trouble. Many of these friends will be long term friends with whom you may struggle to let go off. Don't worry. This is temporary. Once you've got a reasonable amount of addiction free time behind you you'll find yourself strong enough to return to meet those friends again without the risk of relapse. But when we're new to recovery, relapse is very high and being amongst friends who are using or getting drunk is very dangerous. Those friends that may jeopardise your recovery need to be supplemented with new ones – at least for the time being. When you've got a good period of recovery time behind you then you can consider returning to see how they're getting on. But until then, stay safe and keep yourself surrounded by healthy friends, not drinking or using ones. The right friends will help you to maintain a healthy recovery.
- Move Your Body And Feed Yourself Appropriately
It's scientifically proven that movement helps shift our endorphins around and gives us a natural high. Spending just 30 minutes walking the dog or get active at the gym for an hour even just a few days a week will do wonders for your spirit and positivity. Exercise will not only boost your physical strength, it will boost your emotional and mental health as well. The subject of nutrition and diet is also really important; especially once you're through the initial stages of detoxing. In addition to exercise, eating right is another key ingredient to a happy and healthy recovery. One counter point I will make is that when someone comes off alcohol their body will be craving the sugars contained in their booze and therefore it may be useful for someone who's in a state of withdrawal to eat sugary snacks like chocolate and sweets. Taking care of what you eat and drink will make you healthier mentally and physically.
- Work, Volunteer, Contribute and Serve
Being a productive human being is one of the very cornerstones of our existence and the evolution of civilisation. Humans and indeed every creature with a developed brain (from what I can tell) lives on this planet actively attempting to achieve it's daily goals – even if they're just feeding and breeding. Humans need the stimulation of activity more than any other creature on the planet and therefore sitting at home doing nothing simply cannot contribute towards a happy or healthy recovery lifestyle. Get a your job (if you've not already got one) or go back into education (if you're not already educated in the field you want to explore). Volunteer yourself in a sector you'd like to work in and see where the journey leads you. And possibly most importantly, find ways to be useful to other people. It's said that "The Secret To Living Is Giving" and since addiction is linked so much to selfishness, it doesn't take too much to understand that Recovery must be linked to selflessness, generosity, kindness and contribution. So if you see how you can bring something positive into other people's lives, you'll certainly feel much better about yourself whilst focusing on them and their challenges. Making a positive contribution at home, work or for others will give you a wonderful sense of accomplishment and pride. Discover how great it is to get out of your head, but focusing on others.
- Find a Power Greater Than Your Addiction And Discover Your Higher Purpose
There is no getting away from the fact that you're going to need a big reason to stop and stay stopped permanently, especially once you're in recovery. Just because you know it's the right thing to do and it's what everyone wants you to do may not be enough when the obsession hits you. You may need to dig deeper and have a bigger reason. Maybe you feel it's your life's calling to work with animals or invent something that solves a problem or you want to start a family or something that resonates with you and drives your passions or fuels your ambitions. The important thing here is to not get in to recovery just for the sake of beating your addiction, but more to beat it and to go on to live a fulfilling and nurturing life. Many people in recovery discover a source of inspiration or motivation or spiritual fulfillment within their recovery. The very things they may have been searching for within their addiction now reveals itself to people in their recovery. Some turn to religion, though this is by no means compulsory or even essential. But what is important is that you discover a source whether within you or outside of you that is more powerful than your addiction. This is a very useful metaphor for beating your addiction and most people in recovery have used it as a source of strength to overcome their obsessions or compulsive thinking.
- Never give up
The path to Recovery isn't complicated, but there may well be times when it feels overwhelming or challenging. Whatever you do, regardless of the problems or obstacles life throws at you, don't give up or give in to your addiction. No matter how many times it takes you to get your recovery flowing automatically as part of your new way of life, always pick yourself up and have another go – after all, the alternatives are not pretty – prison, hospitalisation or even an early grave. Permit your friends, family and colleagues continue to encourage you to keep you going, what you face in the way of temptations, challenging moments or difficult days.
Bonus Suggestion:
The 12 Step Fellowships have a 12 Step Programme.
We strongly suggest you work the whole 12 Step Programme before you pass judgement on whether it works or not. Far too frequently people say to me that they've tried the 12 steps and they don't work, but yet they've never actually worked the 12 step programme. They may have been to some meetings but they've not actually engaged in the 12 step programme. It's like they've gone to a gym, stood there and gazed at other people exercising on the machines, but not actually got onto a machine themselves and then complained that they've not lost any weight and that exercise doesn't help. The whole point is that when you go to the gym you're expected to go on the equipment and work out - not just be a spectator. The same is true of the 12 Step Fellowships - so work the 12 steps as well as attending the meetings please.

Nutripuncture works with the body's energetic meridians like acupuncture and acupressure.
But without needles or pressures points. Combining traditional Chinese medicine with organic chemistry, the latest understanding of DNA, and the cellular nutrition works of Georges Lakhovsky and Nobel Prize-winner Barbara McClintok, Nutripunctue uses mineral and trace elements to supply microcurrents of reinforcing energy to the body's information pathways and organ systems.
By focusing on the life energy within our cells and balancing and nourishing the meridians, Nutripuncture accelerates our innate self-healing abilities to overcome illness, relationship conflicts, and many other physical, emotional, and mental stressors-often with rapid results.
This guide explores all 38 Nutripuncture remedies, explaining what meridians they interact with and what physical, emotional, and psychological symptoms they can help-from treatment of acute illness, allergies, and chronic conditions such as acne or osteoporosis to broader goals of surviving divorce, detoxifying from damaged relationship with parents and partners, or reactivating stalled phases of development from childhood or adolescence. Providing an accessible introduction to this revolutionary method developed by Dr. Patrick Véret, this book shows how Nutripuncture provides an easy and noninvasive way to release unresolved emotional and psychological trauma and support the vital energy of our cells, meridians, organs, and nervous system without negative side effects or drug interactions.

Lawsuit alleges unlawful killing of shorebirds at Oceano Dunes
Despite December's stay-at-home orders in San Luis Obispo County, Oceano Dunes state park hasn't closed to day-use off-roading. That's as California's state park agencies face a lawsuit for alleged unlawful killing of threatened wildlife.
Once a particular plant or animal is listed under the federal Endangered Species Act, it gains protections to ensure its survival—and recovery. Western snowy plovers are on the threatened list and nest on the shore of Central Coast beaches, including at Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area.
The environmental group Center for Biological Diversity argues in a lawsuit recently filed in federal court that vehicular access at Oceano Dunes is killing plovers and other endangered animals.
Officials with California's state park agency have declined to comment on the pending litigation.
"None of the facts are in dispute," said Jeff Miller with the Center for Biological Diversity. "[State Park employees] find the carcasses, they admit they were run over, they admit they don't have a permit. It's clear violations of the Endangered Species Act."
Miller said snowy plovers are frequently hit and run over by off-roading vehicles, and despite various warnings from the state's Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Department of California State Parks refuses to restrict vehicular access in order to comply with the Endangered Species Act.
"Frankly, they don't particularly care about the protected species, I don't think they particularly care about the state or federal wildlife laws," Miller said. "They believe that their constituency are the off-roaders and no one else."
Miller said he hopes the lawsuit is successful and forces the agency to implement permanent protections for threatened shorebirds and the steelhead trout that live in Arroyo Grande Creek.
Oceano Dunes closed to vehicles in March 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions. That off-roading closure continued in July due to an order from the California Coastal Commission to protect snowy plovers during the nesting season. Oceano Dunes reopened to vehicles on October 30.
While camping overnight on the dunes remains off-limits, State Parks said in early December that day-use will continue because "mental health is physical health."
Meanwhile, State Parks has been working on a proposed 'Habitat Conservation Plan.' That plan may allow the agency to receive a permit for lawful killing—or take—of snowy plovers in exchange for conservation measures. But Miller thinks it is unlikely the plan will be approved.
"The plan is terrible," Miller said. "It's not an endangered species conservation plan, it's a dune buggy conservation plan. It's basically a plan to actually expand off-road vehicle use at Oceano Dunes and reduce the amount of protected breeding habitat for the shorebirds."
At a California Coastal Commission meeting soon after the dunes reopened to motorbikes and trucks, Oceano resident Jennifer Roakes argued for unrestricted vehicular use, for the health of people over birds.
"We've been waiting seven months for [the park's reopening]...I have a bad ankle, I cannot walk on the beach, my husband has a heart condition. This beach allows us to be outside in the fresh air. It's terrible to restrict it," Roakes.
Oceano resident Cynthia Replogle is a vocal opponent of continued off-roading on the beach.
"For seven months, with the Ocean Dunes closed to vehicles, we had access to enjoy a typical California beach," Replogle told the Commission. "All that changed when the gates opened to a parade of flag-waving trucks that crushed clams under their tires and dirt bikes that drove through flocks of birds."
A court date has not yet been set in the suit, said Miller. And it's still an unknown when the Coastal Commission will make a decision on the proposed Habitat Conservation Plan.

_ActivateHandler( ) API Library Routine
Adds a handler function to the end of the list of event handlers.
unsigned int _ActivateHandler(FPFI handler) FPFI handler /* Event handler to be added. */
_ActivateHandler( ) returns an integer identifier for this handler. Use this identifier to remove the handler from the event processor list with _DeActivateHandler( ).
The handler is invoked with two parameters: the WHANDLE of the window to which the event belongs, and a FAR (32-bit) pointer to an event record. If your handler doesn't look for an event, or modifies an event for subsequent event handlers, it returns False (0) to indicate that the event must still be passed on to other handlers or to the Visual FoxPro interface routines. If the handler determines that the event doesn't need to be passed on, it returns True (an integer other than 0) to indicate that the event has been handled.
For more information on how to create an API library and integrate it with Visual FoxPro, see Accessing the Visual FoxPro API.
The following example activates an event handler when the library is loaded. The event handler prints a message for every event and lets Visual FoxPro process the event as it does normally. The event handler is deactivated when the library is unloaded.
Visual FoxPro Code
|Copy Code
SET LIBRARY TO ACTIHAND WAIT WINDOW TO m.test TIMEOUT 5 SET LIBRARY TO
C Code
|Copy Code
#include <pro_ext.h> static int HandlerID; // This is the routine that is registered as an event handler. FAR EventHandler(WHandle theWindow, EventRec FAR *ev) { _PutStr("\nEventHandler() called."); return NO; // event still needs to be handled by Visual FoxPro } FAR Activate() { HandlerID = _ActivateHandler(EventHandler); } // When the library is unloaded we must deactivate the event handler // in a CALLONUNLOAD function. FAR DeActivate() { _DeActivateHandler(HandlerID); } FoxInfo myFoxInfo[] = { {"ACTIVATE", Activate, CALLONLOAD, ""}, {"DEACTIVATE", DeActivate, CALLONUNLOAD, ""} }; FoxTable _FoxTable = { (FoxTable FAR *) 0, sizeof(myFoxInfo)/sizeof(FoxInfo), myFoxInfo };

August 28 - Wisdom Proclaimed.
Proverbs 8:1-3
"Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice? She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths. She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors."
Jesus Christ, the Preacher of preachers, proclaimed the Gospel like no other, for He is the Heart of the Gospel. Without Him, there is no Good News to share or proclaim.
John 7:37
"In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink."
The cry of Wisdom is penned throughout the pages of Scripture as each human author wrote the Words of Jesus Christ from their account. As you read your Bible, do you hear His voice?
John 10:27-29
"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand."
Though we do not hear Him audibly, His voice speaks to our hearts and minds. We can only hear what the Lord has to say when we take the time to open His a Word.
Throughout the Scriptures we find Jesus proclaiming His purpose. He lived and preached the Gospel so that we may also proclaim the same Good News to those who are without Him.
Colossians 4:5
"Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time."
Bible Reading:
Job 35-36 | Jude | Proverbs 28

Any techies who made the leap to management?
Is anyone here a programmer who made the leap to management? In hindsight what were the pros and cons of the change? Would you do it again?
I did not do this, but my boss has. He has had a problem leaving the techie world behind and as such is quitting management.
Whoops, sorry, Tim not Ted.
I did and I am enjoying it. I set outragous deadlines, use bullying tactics excessively and demoralize every single subordinate on a regular basis.
Michael Bolton
The trend in IT is going to be more offshore or commodity labor. If you do not see yourself as a niche market player, you will have longer employment as a manager.
Career and job security wise it is a good move, but Tim are you prepared to never ever code again? If you can say yes, then you will do ok
the artist formerly known as prince
i made the leap about 8 years ago ... mgmt has many upsides ... more $s ... more influence ... more chance to affect direction.
I'd personally love the opportunity to move into management. I have more vision than time, and my biggest frustration is the inability to implement my vision alone. The only option I can see is to rally a team behind me, and move into management.
christopher baus (www.baus.net)
I did it and actually really enjoyed it. Every case is different though. I'm was at a small company and managed to also keep my role as a developer. Obviously, I did WAY less coding than before, but I tried to always assign myself something and I also stayed very active in design and code reviews, so I didn't lose touch with the code.
I moved to manage our company's IT department after more than a decade as a developer.

COVID-19 has undoubtedly hit world enterprise onerous and that's sure to create a knock-on impact in your digital advertising and marketing exercise.
On this piece I've supplied 5 key areas to take a look at that may enable you to decrease the present impression on what you are promoting and construct up again to normality and hopefully develop sooner or later.
1. Re-assess your channel combine
All through the course of a standard yr, your site visitors channel combine will stay largely constant, however any enormous adjustments in technique or price range. Nonetheless, COVID-19 has induced a shift in the best way site visitors is hitting web sites.
You must begin off analyzing your channel report after which drill down into supply/medium to begin to discover any adjustments in the place your site visitors is coming from.
What you see right here will drastically form what you might be doing, for instance:
- Particular channels rising – Delve into this additional to know why. If search quantity in your product/service is increased than normal search for methods to capitalize on this, like rising paid search exercise or double down on bettering natural key phrase rankings.
- Particular channels lowering – Once more, it's key to know what's driving the lower, it could possibly be as a result of lack of search curiosity, drops in rankings, and reductions of exercise. You might want to perceive why in case you are to treatment it.
- All the things lowering – It's fairly potential that this will occur to what you are promoting, it's possible that it is going to be one thing impacting your complete trade, however that you must look to attenuate this as a lot as you may. The important thing factor is to not panic, be goal, analyze, and create a method to bounce again.
- All the things rising – You're profitable, sit again, and luxuriate in. Critically, if that is taking place you might be getting into the territory of getting to work out if what you are promoting can deal with elevated demand and you might have to cut back in case you can't.
It's value digging into your Google Search Console information and your Search Question Experiences in any paid promoting you might be doing to see if there are any adjustments within the quantity of brand name and non-brand site visitors your website is seeing. It is likely to be that generic site visitors is declining as a result of much less search curiosity, however if in case you have been constructing a powerful model you see consistency right here. It is very important perceive the distinction right here.
It will even be value taking a look at new channels you would make the most of to bridge the hole. As an illustration, in case you discover your Google Adverts will not be getting as a lot visibility and you've got the price range obtainable perhaps it's a good time to attempt some paid social exercise. Or it might even be worthwhile spending your time creating compelling e-mail campaigns and hitting your viewers this manner.
2. Replace web site messaging
It is vital that you just present your web site guests, be they present clients or future prospects, that you just perceive the present atmosphere and the problem it presents to their enterprise.
Likewise, that you must present them that what you are promoting is ready, functioning appropriately, and may nonetheless present your services or products all through this pandemic.
Additional nonetheless, if what you are promoting is able meaning your companies are actually extra vital, or you could have new companies that would provide extra worth to prospects then it can be crucial that individuals learn about them.
Salesforce for instance has a banner throughout their UK website selling how their instruments will help companies proper now.
Many companies have adopted swimsuit with related banners, it's simply vital that you just monitor interplay with these and ensure they aide your web site efficiency and don't cut back conversion.
Because the state of affairs adjustments, lockdowns are relaxed and other people return to work in some sense of normality your messaging needs to be up to date to mirror the state of affairs and the position what you are promoting can present.
3. Monitor intent and reply accordingly
Search intent is such a key consideration for B2B digital advertising and marketing. We all know that our consumers will sometimes be within the consideration part for much longer than a B2C client and they're extra more likely to discover the entire market earlier than committing to a purchase order, and even an inquiry.
Couple that with the financial uncertainty the COVID-19 is inflicting globally it is probably going that we'll see companies taking extra time earlier than making an inquiry, particularly with regards to the upper worth or long run contracts.
It, due to this fact, turns into vital to take a look at what customers are trying to find and to know what they anticipate to see when they're looking out.
How will you do this?
- Google Search Console – Mine your search efficiency report back to see what customers are trying to find and what's driving clicks to your website.
- Google Adverts Search Question Experiences – Mirror the actions above to see in case your adverts are actually matching to completely different or new queries.
- Developments or Exploding Matters – These instruments will allow you to see person curiosity in particular subjects or key phrases, highlighting alternatives.
The information you get from these actions will show invaluable in shaping your content material technique over the approaching months. For those who see a spike in natural impressions for a specific search question that your rank on web page Three for, you already know you need to be creating a brand new piece of content material to enhance this. Likewise, in case you see a subject beginning to peak in Google Developments that's related to what you are promoting, that ought to change into your subsequent weblog.
Achieved correctly this may enable you to enhance your search engine marketing efficiency in addition to participating together with your viewers.
4. Concentrate on web site conversions
CRO needs to be a precedence day by day of each month of yearly. In an atmosphere the place the intent is altering and search curiosity for a lot of companies is down it turns into rather more vital in your web site to work onerous to transform site visitors into leads and gross sales. Furthermore, one thing that labored in early March will not be as efficient on this new world.
First, you need to overview your Google Analytics information to see how customers are interacting together with your website. Have a look at whether or not your prime touchdown pages are altering, whether or not your conversion charges are shifting or the lead sources are completely different. Couple this with heatmap evaluation from instruments like HotJar to see how customers are interacting together with your website.
Your purpose from that is to search out areas that could possibly be improved, both as a result of they've dropped off or as a result of they've began to enhance and have offered a possibility to capitalize on. In the event that they haven't modified then you need to be searching for steady enchancment.
Upon getting the info in entrance of you it's time to begin arising with check hypotheses, these could be as easy or as complicated as you want, however you need to at all times be testing one thing.
Some CRO checks you would have a look at in these instances are
- Change the USPs you promote – In case your product/service has a specific use case within the new atmosphere you need to get this throughout in a distinguished place in your web site. Possibly by altering the copy within the header of your product web page.
- Take a look at new CTAs – If demand is rising in your companies it could possibly be value altering your most important CTA from a "Get a quote" or "Free trial" message to "Name us now" to drive the urgency.
- Strive new response strategies – Search for new lead era channels. Issues like stay chat, on the spot call-back widgets, and on-line setup kinds can all drive a brand new stream of leads.
- Pricing presents – Throughout and post-COVID-19 instances B2B consumers have gotten extra cautious with their price range, perhaps as a result of reductions, so take into consideration whether or not you may provide a promotion to get them to transform.
- Free merchandise – If what you are promoting has the flexibility to provide one thing away without spending a dime attempt it! Displaying worth and the need to assist companies now might reap enormous rewards in the long run.
5. Carry on prime of content material technique
We all know that in lockdown person intent has shifted for a lot of search queries, but additionally folks have began to seek for new issues and lockdown particular issues too. And that's the similar for B2B too.
In a B2B context, we're seeing folks trying to find lockdown recommendations on how finest to make money working from home, enterprise house owners are trying to find methods to arrange to get again to normality and other people wish to know what the workplace of the longer term appears to be like like. As B2B digital advertising and marketing professionals, it's our responsibility to offer them with solutions to these questions.
To that finish, it signifies that we should always transfer away from our typical product or business-related content material and shift extra into blogs with recommendation, recommendations on how folks can put together their places of work for the return to work, and even articles on how what you are promoting will help them.
There's additionally one thing to be mentioned round having some enjoyable together with your content material and producing one thing extra light-hearted. As an illustration, my workforce surveyed Brits to learn the way lockdown was impacting them, the place they have been working of their properties, and what they have been doing to calm down. This was an important piece because it drove new site visitors to our website and supported our search engine marketing campaigns by producing protection in nationwide publications.
It is vital that we pivot our content material methods, not solely due to COVID-19 however extra importantly to fulfill the altering wants of our clients shifting ahead.
In conclusion
While we'll see many adjustments to B2B web site efficiency as a result of COVID-19, in each the quick and long run, it's our position as B2B digital advertising and marketing professionals to research the adjustments in efficiency and to create methods that assist our companies to recuperate and develop once more sooner or later.

The latest has been an emergence of sim cards which use these same local Japanese towers. You can also use your unlocked U.S devices, like iPhone and Android, and they also come with data plans. Our favorite is Mobal since they offer a plan which has 7 gbs of LTE (fast) data with a phone line that is free to users on the same network (Mobal). So if your family all have Mobal sims you can talk for free, and if you don't need the data you can turn off the data plan and pay 1100 per month for the phone line. If you choose to use the data it will cost 6000 yen per month, but since our readers are long-term we negotiated to let us use their students/teachers plan which cuts the cost to 4500 yen per month. (USE CODE :OKIHAI).
Mobal does charge 29 yen per min to call Japanese phones outside of their network, but all incoming calls are free. With so many apps these days like Line, Voxer, and FB messenger I can see how one could easily manage to not use so many outgoing mins.

Business for a Fair Minimum Wage For Immediate Release: March 29, 2011
Contact: Bob Keener, (617) 610-6766, email@example.com
MARYLAND – Today nearly 60 Maryland business organizations, owners and executives endorsed legislation to raise the state's inadequate minimum wage to $9.75 per hour by 2013. Representing small businesses in the restaurant industry, retail, manufacturing, construction, auto repair, cleantech, healthcare, finance and more, the coalition stressed that a strong minimum wage should be a state priority because it will boost the consumer demand vital for job creation and promote a strong economy for Maryland's future.
In a signed statement, the business leaders said, "With less buying power than it had in the 1950s and 60s, today's minimum wage means poverty for working families and undermines our economy. A higher minimum wage makes good sense for our Maryland economy. It puts money in the hands of the people who will put it right back into local businesses." The full Maryland Business for a Fair Minimum Wage statement can be read here.
With seventeen states already setting minimum wages higher than Maryland's, the signatories refute the "job-killer" arguments of big business lobbyists and other opponents of the wage proposal, citing extensive research and personal experience that raising wages does not increase unemployment.
The signatories come from Aberdeen, Annapolis, Baltimore, Bethesda, Burtonsville, Cabin John, Catonsville, Chevy Chase, Columbia, Crofton, Edmonston, Ellicott City, Hyattsville, Kensington, Laurel, Mt. Airy, Rockville, Silver Spring, Sparks, St. Michaels, Street, Sykesville, Takoma Park, Towson and Westminster and include organizations such as the Chesapeake Sustainable Business Alliance with nearly 200 business members. Many of the signers have won awards for customer service, innovation and entrepreneurship.
"A minimum wage increase isn't a luxury," said Frank Coyne, Owner of Junk in the Trunk, a waste removal company in Silver Spring. "It's a necessity for workers and our economy. Minimum wage raises don't go into employee pockets and sit there – they are recycled right back into the economy as payment for necessities local businesses provide. As a small business owner, I call that good business."
"We've been in business since 1978 and won many awards, including Maryland Small Business of the Year," said Brian England, Owner of British American Auto Care Inc. in Columbia. "Our employees are a big reason why. We pay our employees a fair wage with benefits. But some businesses pay so little their employees can't make a living. We should be moving working Marylanders as far away from needing the social safety net as possible. Raising the minimum wage raises everyone up."
Carmen Ortiz Larsen, President of Aquas Inc., a Top 100 Minority Business Enterprise Award winner with 32 employees in Bethesda, said, "In these difficult economic times, an increase in the minimum wage is very significant to the individual. The cost increase is heavily outweighed by the benefits of a more engaged and better cared for staff. We as a small business owner community can make the difference for a better, more vibrant community by supporting this proposed legislation."
"The notion that raising the minimum wage will kill jobs is just bunk," said John Shepley, co-owner of Emory Knoll Farms Inc, a wholesale nursery in Harford County, and chairman of the Chesapeake Sustainable Business Alliance. "I challenge anyone who thinks the minimum wage shouldn't be raised to try living on it. Raising the minimum wage will move us towards a more stable and sustainable Maryland economy."
Maryland's minimum wage of $7.25 an hour amounts to just $15,080 for full-time, year-round work, the statement notes. The signers include employers who would themselves have to increase pay if the minimum wage goes to $9.75.
Supporters of the legislation estimate that it would raise pay for more than 300,000 Maryland workers and inject approximately $1 billion in new consumer spending into the state's economy. It would also raise the minimum wage for tipped workers and index Maryland's minimum wage to keep pace with inflation, something ten others states already do.
Two employers expanding to Maryland this summer are among the signers who welcome a minimum wage increase. Andy Shallal, who employs 300 people at his Eatonville Restaurant and Busboys & Poets Restaurants in Washington, DC and Virginia, is opening a Hyattsville restaurant in June. Julie Paez, owner of a retail pet store called the Big Bad Woof in Washington, DC, where the minimum wage is currently $8.25, is opening another store in Hyattsville this summer. "Paying employees a living wage makes good business sense," she said. "It helps keep qualified employees – cutting down on training expenses – and helps foster company loyalty, which, in turn, produces higher sales and increases customer retention. It's a win win."
Craig Sewell, owner of A Cook's Café in Annapolis and former Chair of the Annapolis Sustainable Business Council, which has endorsed the increase, said, "Arguments that raising the minimum wage creates a hardship on small business – and the restaurant business in particular – are extremely shortsighted. The investment I make in my employees pays dividends many times over in customer satisfaction and increased workmanship."
"A higher minimum wage is a building block of stronger rural communities and more sustainable farm and food policy," said Rudy Arredondo, President of the National Latino Farmers and Ranchers Trade Association and a resident of Takoma Park.
"As a financial adviser, I know that valuing employees builds company value," said Roger Rath, Senior Vice President, Janney Montgomery Scott in Towson. "The minimum wage used to go up regularly with rising worker productivity. Now, productivity rises, and CEO pay goes up, but workers get left behind. That's not just unfair, it's bad economics."
James Ayersman, Vice President of Genesis Steel Service in Baltimore said "Poverty wages undermine our economy like weak steel undermines construction. The costs are a lot bigger than the supposed savings."
"The Great Recession should have taught everyone that massive income disparities and a collapsing middle class are bad for workers, bad for business and bad for our country," said Jim Schulman, CEO of Community Forklift, which employs 16 people in Edmonston selling salvaged building materials. "When the minimum wage is set so low that even full-time workers have to struggle to meet their most basic expenses, it drags down our economy. Raising the minimum wage will help lift up our communities."

text: One reader, a medical herbalist, takes issue with a suggestion last time to try bromelain for emphysema. Mucus is a polysaccharide derivative – ie, a carbohydrate – and so a protein-digesting enzyme would not help. Instead, try fresh garlic as this acts as a disinfectant and decongestant. Another reader suggests American Marsh Pennywort (hydrocotyle umbellate), a plant that's choking up the waterways in England at the moment, but might do wonders for your emphysema.

In this coming week's wellness tarot challenge, we are called to find serenity through the alignment of the inner child with the adult self. Read on for details!
This Coming Week's Reading
The purpose of this Chaos Rally tarot reading is to take a look at the coming week and see in what way we can challenge ourselves to do better in regards to our overall wellness. I ask you to approach this as a fun brainstorming session of possibilities rather than me prescribing a course of action to you.
And again, in terms of wellness I want to point out that this applies to the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the self. All four of these comprise the total sense of being and need to be taken care of in order to be well. As always, and I cannot stress this enough, be sure to speak to the appropriate professional before making changes to your care plan. This is especially true if my reading for some reason inspires a change in diet, exercise, supplements, or medications, or even raises a concern regarding to your health.
I'm not a specialist in any of these fields. My goal is to look at how to manage wellness in the presence and with the cooperation of your professional care team. Please keep this in mind when going over this reading.
Here is the image of this coming week's reading.
The Challenge: Six of Cups
Reconnect with your inner child.
Monday Button's position represents the challenge you need to be working on at this time. Thus, what you need to be working on right now is found within the Six of Cups.
The challenge for this coming week is to reconnect with your inner child.
Think back to when you were a child during the times when you were by yourself and left to your own devices. No relatives, friends, or anyone else were around to influence your thoughts and decisions during these times. This is when you were completely alone as your truest self before the world shaped you.
What did you dream of? What made you smile? What were the things you hoped and wished for? What kinds of things did you plan for your future?
In what ways can you incorporate some of these things back into your life?
The Lesson: The Chariot
In order to make progress in a stagnant goal, you need to learn how to identify what the conflicting motivations are within you and resolve them.
Grim Lee's position represents what you need to be learning while working on your challenge. Therefore, your lesson at this time is found within the Chariot.
The Chariot represents victory, provided you are able to align the opposing forces that drive the cart in the same direction.
So the lesson here is that when we find ourselves unable to move forward or unable to accomplish a goal, it's usually because we have conflicting desires, or motivations, getting in the way. In order to make progress, you need to figure out what the conflict is and resolve it.
Sometimes this may even mean discovering that the goal you thought you had, really isn't the goal. This is okay too.
Sometimes the conflict may reside between your inner child and your adult self.
Sometimes the conflict may reside between your inner child and your adult self. It may be a matter of what you have always wanted to do versus what you think you're supposed to be doing.
Society shapes us in many ways. The world around us tells us who and what we should be, but all the while the inner child, the core of who we truly are, remains. There comes a point where the adult self and the inner child needs to be brought together reconciled.
The Inner Lie: Death
Change is not the end of the world. Change is the natural cycle of life.
Murphy Law's position represents the false belief you need to overcome while working on your challenge. The inner lie at this time is revealed within Death.
Change is not the end of the world. Change is the natural cycle of life. All things in life have phases and seasons. The purpose of this cycle is transformation and growth.
It is our resistance to this cycle that makes it more difficult than it needs to be.
If you feel like you are unable to fully be your true self right now, then it's time to do some pruning and weeding to clear out what's choking these aspects of the self.
The biggest change we all experience is the emergence of the adult from childhood. This doesn't mean, however, that our child selves are lost. A rose blooms from a rose bud after all. The same is true of you. You bloom from the bud of yourself.
If you don't feel like you are able to fully be yourself then it means you have allowed weeds to choke out various aspects of the Self. It means that it is time to prune and weed the garden that is you to permit yourself to flourish as you need to.
Change requires an honest assessment and realignment of where you are going, what you are doing, and what you desire.
Change requires an honest assessment and realignment of where you are going, what you are doing, and what you desire. And while this may be the most challenging aspect of it, this is where the real growth and transformation happens.
Here is where we let go of whatever is holding us back or whatever is harming us. Here is where we gain greater clarity of what it is we want in life. And the moment we are able to do these things is the moment we clear the path to shoot forward.
There is a need to bring the inner child and the emerged adult into alignment in order to unleash the real you.
Looking at these three cards together, we see the Six of Cups, representing the inner child, on one side of the Chariot and Death on the other side, calling for transformation.
To me, studying this layout, it's saying there is a need to bring the inner child and the adult self into alignment in order to unleash the real you. The inner child didn't die and still needs to be expressed. In merging the two together, the adult self won't die either and will still find expression.
The Wisdom: Two of Swords
Practice the art of serenity in everything you do.
Wise Toad's position represents the wisdom to keep in mind as you work on your challenge. The wisdom you need at this time is found within the Two of Swords.
The Two of Swords is about a couple of things, but one of the themes it touches upon is finding peace. Particularly with inner peace.
Inner peace is having the mindfulness to be present in the now, accepting situations for what they are rather than what you'd wish they'd be, and focusing only upon the things which you can control.
So the wisdom for this coming week is to practice the art of serenity in everything you do.
The best gems of your childhood are the core aspects of you that have no external source and will point you towards your sense of purpose and fulfillment.
Yes, your childhood is long gone now but take whatever good from it you can and forgive the rest with as much grace as possible. The best gems from your childhood are the core aspects of you that bring you joy from within. These little gems have no external source and will point you towards your sense of purpose and fulfillment.
Someone who isn't at war within themselves is at peace.
It should be obvious that someone who isn't at war within themselves is at peace. Make the effort to assess and align your desires and motivations with your choices and behaviors. The more you are able to do this, the greater peace you will experience.
Clear away from your life whatever robs you of your peace on a consistent basis.
Clear away from your life whatever robs you of your peace on a consistent basis. This could be relationships, jobs, environment, or projects that drain you. Pay special attention for the stuff that is toxic since it has a way of kicking up constant drama. Avoid the things that bring out the toxic in you.
Anything that robs you of your peace is also robbing you of your time, energy, and attention that you could be investing on other things.
The key to finding inner peace is through the alignment of the inner child with the adult self.
The key to finding inner peace is through the alignment of the inner child with the adult self. It doesn't matter how old you are, there will always be a side of you that needs to dream, hope, wonder, and express joy. There are ways to do all that while still meeting the duties and obligations of adulthood if you are willing to permit yourself to do it.

Sewing Tips: Seam Marking for Delicate Fabrics
Material that slips and slides, like silk, presents a special challenge when time to mark seam allowances.
When working with slick fabrics you can cut the pieces out only to realize that in spots, the fabric is bigger than the pattern because of shifting. Use a tracing wheel and carbon paper and you're likely to find purple marks are your pure-white blouse from the carbon paper. Slick fabrics shift and slide, making them very difficult to cut and sew with precision.
There are a few tricks that can make cutting and sewing delicate fabrics much easier. Purchase a cork board, or flat cork piece. The piece should be large enough to accommodate an entire seam. Cork sheets, without frames, can be found at most craft stores.
Arrange the pattern pieces and fabric as you normally would. Cut to the best of your ability, but do not use carbon paper to make any marks. After cutting the pieces, roll the cork out onto a table. Place the fabric pieces that need special markings, onto the cork. Make sure the piece is placed where there are no wrinkles and no stretching.
Purchase a needle-pointed tracing wheel and use it to mark the allowances. Do not use carbon or tracing paper with the wheel. Rolling the wheel across the intended seam allowances will leave small punctures in the fabric - an easy guide to follow while sewing. The cork will prevent the garment pieces from sliding while being marked and it's soft enough to allow the wheel to penetrate the fabric.
Use the small puncture marks as a guide for seam allowances, hemming, buttonhole placement, and more. You'll find that the technique works for silks, satins, nylon and polyester, but not for heavy fabrics like denim or corduroy.
As you stitch the seam allowance, try to stay on the holey line made by the tracing wheel. If there are small holes visible after completion of the garment, simply launder as you normally would and they'll disappear.
