Despite loving doing anything creative with my kids, I soon realised once I had had my first that actually the mess, tended to make me slightly anxious. I had always thought of myself as being pretty laid back and relaxed with mess.
Then I got married and had kids.
And well, it turns out in no way am I relaxed about it. I like the kids to tidy as they play and generally if Daddy Patronus has been looking after them I near have an aneurysm when I see every toy that we own spread across every inch of carpet.
Where am I going with this?
When I had Patronus A, I didn't really know much about children. I didn't really know when they could start doing the creative stuff I loved to do. We did a lot of drawing and playdoh but I didn't introduce paint until later then I could have. Mess had something to do with this. The thought of paint splatter on the walls and carpet sent shudders through me. However, the older she got the more I pre-prepared the activities we did. That meant I could limit and contain the mess and more importantly control the creative environment in a way that kept me calm. As time went on the process got easier. the more relaxed I became, the more fun we began to have.
Now we do painting at least once a week!
"You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have." – Maya Angelou
Generally we will paint on a non-nursery day and when Patronus B is napping. This week however we did it when Patronus B was awake. For those who don't know Patronus B, she is 14.5 months and has THE WORST case of FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) I have ever witnessed. She needs to be in the excitement at all times and God forbid she might be not included, all hell breaks loose. So she saw Patronus A painting and INSISTED on coming to sit on my lap so she could watch. And then watching led to her grabbing a paint brush and that is where her painting journey began.
I stripped her off into her wife beater onesie and just let her explore. It was so interesting watching her! I got such a kick out of seeing her explore creatively. She did three pieces in one sitting and when I decided it was time to 'close shop', she full on lost it and had a screaming fit. Turns out she loves painting. At 14 months.
Her Creative Process
As I said, it was really fun to see how her brain was working when learning a new skill.
1. The first one, below. She really enjoyed the process of putting her paintbrush into different colours each time and watching how they looked when she made contact with the black card.
2. The painting below was her 2nd. It is really expressive and you can see she was experimenting with how it looks with the movement of the paintbrush on paper. The effect is like spider legs or sun rays.
3. Below is her 3rd and last painting, again which I found fascinating. She had covered having fun with the different colours of the 1st and the arm movements of the 2nd. The 3rd one she discovered that if she made the same arm movement then she could actually cover large expanses of the paper in a left, right, left right movement, from one side of the paper to another.
This whole process, brought me back to remembering to allow your children to experiment in this way. It is called, 'process art'. It is so important for children to be allowed to do this. It allows them to develop their own creative confidence, to experiment, think outside the box, to make their own decisions and it helps them make sense of the world around them. It means, that the 'doing' is more important then the end product.
"Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun." – Mary Lou Cook
It's ok to hate mess. If you plan ahead for activities like these you can remain in control of that. Do it in the kitchen or the bathroom if you are worried about carpets. Get splat mats that you can lie on top of the floor and PVC tablecloths for tables and surfaces. Get your children naked or cover them in overalls. Have wet wipes or a bowl of warm soapy water on hand. If you are in control and relaxed then your kids will be able to relax and have fun too.
The moral of the story is that it doesn't have to be stressful and messy. Your kids will love creating memories and artwork. They'll learn really important skills that they will use throughout their play and not just in art. It is not enough to assume that they do 'art' at school or nursery. Certainly in Primary Schools it is deemed not important and they'll have an art class every two weeks. If they have one every week, they are one of the lucky ones.
Being creative doesn't have to be a specific activity. When someone tells me they aren't creative, I get so frustrated. EVERYONE can be creative. A child doesn't need to be told to do a particular activity. Put in front of them paint and paper and they'll paint with their fingers. Put in front of them playdoh and a plate and they'll make a feast. Don't limit the young, they'll teach us a thing or two. Just give them the platform.

Union members from Lagan Valley and a number of other Northern Ireland hospitals are flying high after receiving over £4,500 compensation for cancelled flights.
Members of the UNISON public service union were due to return from London following a conference in June. Their flight from Gatwick was cancelled leaving the passengers stranded. When they finally made it home on later flights, they contacted the airline for compensation, without success.
John Murray, UNISON representative, said: "After the airline failed to compensate passengers, I saw a tweet by another passenger who had contacted The Consumer Council. I followed suit and as a result 17 members of UNISON were able to obtain a total of £4,513 in compensation. We are delighted with the way The Consumer Council handled our case, and would recommend anyone else who experiences problems to get in touch with them."
Noleen Charnley, Consumer Empowerment Officer at The Consumer Council, commented: "We are delighted to have helped UNISON members, including those from Lagan Valley Hospital, receive compensation from the airline. This shows the power of social media, and thanks to one passenger sharing their successful outcome, we were then contacted by several others. If anyone else is experiencing difficulties in obtaining compensation for delayed or cancelled flights, The Consumer Council is here to help."

Recently I got several calls from customers or internal about how MSDTC clients talks to MSDTC Cluster, this decides how to configure the firewall between them.
As we know, as a cluster resource, MSDTC has its virtual name and virtual IP address in a cluster group. When a MSDTC client tries to work with MSDTC Cluster through Firewall, the network admin team needs to open necessary ports range for MSDTC communication. MSDTC relies on RPC communication, so that we need to ensure below ports should be opened by default (its sample dynamic port
range is too limited, it is better from 5000~5200):
250367 Configuring Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC) to work through a firewall
For Win2003, the "network DTC access" option is also fairly important on client and servers:
817064 How to enable network DTC access in Windows Server 2003
When we define the incoming rules with firewall, in addition to ports, we also need to make sure the IP rule is opening for MSDTC virtual IP address and physical IP address of cluster nodes. Because:
When a client application performs transaction requests to MSDTC server, actually there will be two MSDTC transaction managers work at the same time. One is on client side, another is on server side. The main difference on server side is it has a Resource Manager which is used for enlisting transactions and maintain the data. SQL is a type of Resource manager. When the two MSDTC transaction managers start communication, they always choose RPC (Remote Process Call) as the protocol. And the communication is not single direction from RPC client to RPC server, it is a bi-direction communication.
As for the reason of the RPC Reverse Binding uses physical IP, this is because when RPC is going to bind socket, it doesn't explicitly use a dedicate IP address. It will choose the first bound IP address on the network interface. In common cluster environment, the physical IP address is always as the first bound IP address, we can see the same symptom even test cluster environments are different (in Microsoft Cluster or a third party cluster).
Therefore, when a client starts working with MSDTC cluster, it is very likely that we can see two RPC connections, one is from Client to MSDTC Cluster Virtual IP, another is from MSDTC Physical IP to Client. Such as:
A node(Active-10.0.0.9) -------+-----B Node (Passive-10.0.0.10)
^ |
| msdtc cluster resource (Virtual IP: 10.0.0.8)
port(2215) ^ (port: 5102)
| |
| |
| |
| V (port: 1321)
+----------port(5078)--> Web Server (126.96.36.199)
From another KB, it delivered similar information, please check the "more information" section:
The firewall rules must include the following:
The IP network names and the addresses of both physical nodes on the cluster
311846 Description of names and IP addresses that an MSDTC client in a cluster environment must have

A cartouche is a regal way to add your own brand messaging to a bottle. As a round or oval shaped embellishment, designed to sit on the shoulder of a bottle, a cartouche is perfect for catching the eye of customers – or anyone that comes into contact with the bottle on which it is placed.
Suitable for many different industries, the options that we provide can be produced with or without adhesive on the reverse, making them suitable for many applications. Signet are able to produce cartouches that are either die-cast, or made from flexible aluminium or faux wax. Although usually curved in style, to fit the natural shape of a bottle, a cartouche can also be flat – if constructed from flexible aluminium. We can also ensure that each item is placed on every bottle in exactly the same spot, thanks to location aids added to the back which slot perfectly into position on the glass.
For those looking for a permanent way to mark their bottle with branded emblems or messaging, a cartouche is an excellent choice. Often round or oval in shape, a cartouche becomes an integral part of a product, rather than an adornment. Regularly used to relate to a brand's ethos, or to differentiate between different products in a collection, a cartouche offers a consistent and easy to spot way to add additional detail for your treasured customers – enriching their overall experience.
When working on creating die cast coins for each type of Kilchoman Distillery whisky, Signet wanted to evoke the grassroots history of the brand.
Cartouches are a timeless way to uniquely mark your product. Used since the ancient times, Cartouches are a valuable way to distinguish brands. Our Cartouches bring a modern twist to this timeless embellishment.
A cartouche can be provided with a location device on the reverse of the embellishment which fits into a location recess on the bottle to guarantee the decoration is applied correctly every time.
Cartouches can be provided with an adhesive reverse, on a sheet, or as individuals.
All we need are a few details and then we will post your free samples out to you.

Games of Freedom photorelation
The Foundation co-organized the panel "Media in the face of the crisis - information noise"
During this year's Lodz Freedom Games, the Foundation organized a discussion panel entitled "Media in the face of crisis - information noise". The discussion was attended by: prof. Ferenc Hammer (director of the Department of Media and Communication at Loranda Eötvös University in Budapest), Stanisław Skarżyński (Gazeta Wyborcza) and prof. Cecile Vaissie (University of Rennes). Discussion was moderated by Grzegorz Rzeczkowski ("Polityka" Magazine).
This year's leading theme of Freedom Games was devoted to the influence of technology on societies, democracies and labor market. The technological advancement of the previous decade resulted in an increasing integration of digital reality and every-day experiences. Social media have not only influenced the way in which people interact with one anothe, but have also had a significant impact on culture, politics and social relations. Automatization and computerization have changed the methods of gathering information, ways of accessing culture as well as the way people work. Technology can offer solutions to the most burning issues related to the future of our world: poverty, access to education and culture, overcoming communication barriers between nations – however, it may at the same time generate new challenges and pose threats that we cannot yet imagine.
Geremek Foundation has organized a panel discussion at the lat year's GAMES OF FREEDOM 2016 "CULTURAL CLASHES" organized in Lodz by Liberte! The conference was a response to the growing European (but also Polish) dilemma associated with the coexistence in the same space of different faiths and cultures, professing different value systems. The event October 22, 2016 The Foundation co-organizes a panel discussion entitled: "European fears of Islam" whose guests were Anna J. Dudek, Farid Hafez, Katarzyna Gorak-Sosnowska and Nilüfer Göle.

This is what Don had done yesterday. Essentially, they threaded a line down his jugular vein, behind his heart and into a vessel that goes into his liver. Once there, they insert an instrument that takes a tissue sample (or several) so that it can be sent to the lab for dissection and diagnosis. What we want to see is what Don's liver looks like today compared to the biopsy he had 2 years ago.
He had a liver biopsy 2 years ago. It was the kind that they insert a very long needle through the skin at an angle under the rib cage. This biopsy procedure although a bit more comfortable for the patient, has a higher risk for bleeding. Don's current platelet count is 75,000. Normal is 140,000 to 400,000 which means he bleeds easily. It also means that clotting takes longer. If he bleeds from the trans jugular procedure, his blood feeds back into the veinus system. I hope that made sense. We will not have the results until his next appointment on the 15Th of December.
His procedure was scheduled for 12noon. Two emergencies came in that morning setting every one's schedules behind and Don was not wheeled into the OR until 3pm. It took an hour, instead of the 30-40 minutes they stated and then he was moved to a holding "short stay" room where he was observed for 6 hours. He had to lay in a certain position on his back with his head elevated for the entire time. The rooms were very small, only had a few uncomfortable upright type chairs and each room was a double. Don's roommate, ironically was a heart transplant patient. We were glad to be released and around 10:30pm he was wheeled down in a wheel chair to the front where they had already brought our car down from the parking lot.

I hope Don is feeling better by the hour - and that Julie keeps her mind occupied long enough so the days pass quickly for the results ;)!
Thank you God for keeping Don safe, and Julie too - you are the great healer, and we thank you that we do have places to go to get medical answers - Thank you God!

Sometimes a song will run through the back of my mind nearly constantly. I realize sometimes this is because certain songs resonate with my current feelings. Got a hell of a lot going on right now, including a trip to the ER (I'm fine. I'll tell you about it tomorrow). And through it all, I hear this inside me head.
Hey You- Pink Floyd
Hey you! Out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me?
Hey you! Standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles, can you feel me?
Hey you! Don't help them to bury the live
Don't give in without a fight.
Hey you! Out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone, would you touch me?
Hey you! With your ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out would you touch me?
Hey you! Would you help me to carry the stone
Open your heart. I'm coming home.
But it was only a fantasy
The wall was too high, as you can see
No matter how he tried, he could not break free
And the worms ate into his brain.
Hey you! Out there on the road
Always doing what you're told, can you help me?
Hey you! Out there beyond the wall
Breaking bottles in the hall, can you help me?
Hey you! Don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall.

If you head to Savai'i you will have to make a stop at the Afu Aau Waterfall and marvel over its peace and tranquility, and then head down to the nearby Alofaaga Blowholes where you will see the wonders of geological formations hiss and spurt steam before your eyes. The Felealupo Canopy Walk and Mount Matavanu Crater are also great stopover points, but nothing beats swimming with the turtles in Savai'i – a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Been a while since the last Marvel review, Marvel Zombies takes a lot out of a person. Ok, so the gist of this book is that the Avengers have broken up because of Civil War and a Skrull invasion. So naturally the best person to put in charge of the new Avengers is Norman freaking Osborn, aka Green Goblin. He gathers up a couple of characters of questionable morality and makes them look like the real Avengers. On paper this concept should work, Thunderbolts proved that is does. However, the characters chosen and the lack of focus on characterization kills this.
The book has a bunch of characters, but only two or three are focused on in these six issues. It's mostly just Norman Osborn and The Sentry through most of it. There's way to many scenes of Norman and Sentry just talking, because Sentry has a split personality that Norman is trying to abuse.And anyone who knows anything about The Sentry knows he's the most overpowered character in the Marvel universe. His very presence removes any tension from the story, as you know nothing will stop him, which is what happens as he takes care of an entire army of Atlanteans by himself.
Every other character is underdeveloped. Venom just eats people, Moonstone is just angry all the time, Bullseye is angry all the time as well, Captain Marvel says almost nothing and then leaves the team, Daken says almost nothing throughout, and Ares is the God of War. They says "Ares, God of War" every single time and it's obnoxious every time. The first arc is about Dr. Doom having a magic fight with Morgana le Fay, but he loses so the Avengers come to save him. Morgana is attacking them from the past, so Norman (As the Iron Patriot) and Doom go back and stop her using magic words.
Final Thoughts: Ugh, it's been pretty negative these last couple of reviews. But at the end of the day this was a waste of time, with annoying or bland characters doing nothing.
Rating: Rubbish

Be BETTER Life Goal- Start a Journal/
Life Goal #1 Start a Journal. If you don't have a journal, create one or buy one.
Helpful tips. Don't feel like you have to write about everything that happened that day. Commit to writing in it for one week.
I like to give a title to my daily journal 2 entries and focus the entry on that title. For example, if I spent the day at the beach I might title it
"Sand in Every Crack" and write about the positives and negatives of a beach days.
Also, don't feel like you have to write a lot. I commit to writing one small page per day, equaling about 10 sentences. Looking back you will have a glimpse of what you did that day or how you felt.

"Accord freedom fighters' status to Kar Sevaks": Hindu seers
A resolution passed at the Vaicharik Mahakumbh has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to treat Kar Sevaks, who sacrificed their lives or were jailed during the Ram Janmabhoomi movement, on par with freedom fighters.
Vaicharik Mahakumbh, a conclave of over 50 mahamandaleshwars or Hindu seers from across the country, was held near Mumbai between December 29 and January 1.
"It is the responsibility of the (Narendra) Modi and Yogi (Adityanath) governments to accord the status of Ram Sevaks to those who sacrificed their lives or were jailed during the Ram Janmabhoomi movement and treat them on par with the freedom fighters," a PTI report quoted the resolution passed at Vaicharik Mahakumbh.
The kar sevaks organized by the Vishva Hindu Parishad played a key role in Ramjanmabhoomi movement.
The Vaicharik Mahakumbh was organised by Anantshri Vibhushith Mahamandaleshwar Swami Chidambaranand Saraswati Maharaj.

Government of Morocco, UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network, World Business Council for Sustainable Development and ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability, will present the solutions-focused conference during COP22 in November 2016
Washington DC, 5 May 2016 – Cities, business and government will come together to scale up solutions for climate action at COP22 in Marrakesh, Morocco, following an announcement today that four leading organizations will present a Low Emissions Solutions Conference in order to accelerate the implementation of solutions under the historic Paris Agreement.
The Government of Morocco will host the conference in partnership with UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network, World Business Council for Sustainable Development and ICLEI. The parties formalized their collaboration on the conference by signing a Memorandum of Understanding today at the Climate Action 2016 summit in Washington DC.
The Low-Emissions Solutions Conference is part of the overall global agenda to bring together the stakeholders that can design and implement Nationally Determined Contributions and Low-Emission Development Strategies (LEDSs) under the Paris Agreement.
The conference will convene the key players for delivering coordinated solutions to emissions reduction – cities, business, academia, and government – as all stakeholders must work together to help solve the climate challenge. Integrated collaboration helps to produce commercial business solutions that overcome policy barriers and can be scaled up rapidly for global implementation, thereby strengthening the ability of governments around the world to make their emissions reduction targets a reality.
The Low-Emissions Solutions Conference will be aimed at problem solving, brainstorming, and global co-creation, without inter-governmental negotiations or agreements. The conference will support all signatories to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
The goal of the Low-Emissions Solutions Conference will be to share knowledge, exchange information, identify bottlenecks, discuss best practices, and prioritize future research aimed at scaling up climate solutions. The main objectives of the Low-Emissions Solutions Conference are to:
- Support operationalization of the Paris Agreement;
- Strengthen the technical capacities of the 196 signatory governments of the UNFCCC and their Non-Party Stakeholders to design and implement long-term low greenhouse-gas emissions development strategies as called for in the Paris Agreement (NDCs and LEDSs);
- Chart key technology pathways for global, public-private partnerships;
- Identify and resolve the barriers to scaling up identified business solutions for climate action,
- Support an intensive dialogue between policy makers and solution providers and developers, including engineers and technology specialists on low-emission energy systems;
- Enhance global exchange and partnerships for technology solutions between all levels of governments, businesses, academia, and civil society organizations.
Signatories to the Memorandum of Understanding:
- H.E. Hakima El Haïté, Minister in Charge of Environment – Kingdom of Morocco
- Dr. Jeffrey D. Sachs, Director of UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (UNSDSN)
- Mr. Peter Bakker, President and CEO of World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD)
- Ms. Maryke van Staden, on behalf of Mr. Gino Van Begin, Secretary General ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability (ICLEI)

What can be said about protecting your eyes? It is pretty basic: "You would be very foolish indeed if you did not protect your eyes at all times while on the job." Your eyes, one of the most important organs on your body, yet we take them for granted and fail to protect them perhaps more than any other body part. Thousands of eye injuries occur annually to municipal workers.
Eye protection devices have been used in workplaces since 1910. While the original eye protection devices were limited, today there are eye protection devices for every type of exposure.
While wearing eye protection at all times is strongly encouraged, many projects demand that workers wear eye protection. Just a few examples are:
Chipping, sledging, and hammering on metal, stone, or concrete
Use of manual, pneumatic, and power impact tools
Caulking, brushing, and grinding
Drilling, scaling, and scraping
Babbiting, soldering, and casting hot metals
Handling acids, caustics, and creosoted materials
Gas welding, cutting, and brazing
Drilling overhead
In environments with excessive dust or debris in the air
Electric arc welding and cutting, and other operations that expose the eyes to flying particles, dust, hot liquids, molten substances, gases, fumes, liquids, or excessive light.
Some people just don't like to wear safety glasses and goggles. One of the complaints is that goggles tend to fog up. Fogging happens when sweat vaporizes and coats the inside of the lens. If you have this problem with goggles or glasses, wear a handkerchief or sweatband around your forehead to keep perspiration out.
Another complaint is that eye protection devices are uncomfortable, but usually this is because the eye protection device does not fit properly. Make sure that you have the device properly adjusted for the correct fit or simply get another type that fits better. You can see better out of a properly fitting eye protection device than you can from a glass eye or three layers of scar tissue.
Like all safety devices, eye protection is there for you and your eyes. Be smart and use eye protection at all times when on the job and when you're doing chores at home. What do you have to lose, but your SIGHT!
Contact OMAG Loss Control Services if you have questions or suggestions for other topics related to Municipal Workplace Safety Issues. 1(800) 234-9461 or email email@example.com.

TooJay's2017 - Present
Industry-leading speed for a popular New York style deli chain
TooJay's, a successful restaurant chain with over 30 locations, was having a hard time finding a reliable development partner. They had gone through several agencies in the past few years and were approaching their wits' end. In early 2017 they reached out to us to help clean up the damage inflicted on their site from previous vendors.
It's always hard to step in to someone else's mess, but given our expertise with WordPress, we were able to quickly fix a lot of their issues. In fact, they were so relieved that they signed us to a monthly retainer right then and there.
For the rest of 2017, we teamed up with their Marketing department to help manage their online menus, promotions, and articles on a weekly basis.
After working for almost a year, TooJay's approached us to redesign their site from the ground up. With a tight deadline (they wanted to launch before their summer season), we had our work cut out for us. To make things more interesting, we had to do all this while still maintaining the existing site.
TooJay's has 30+ locations that are open 7 days a week—so having the site down for any reason was unacceptable.
We set up bi-weekly calls with all critical stakeholders to review business goals and objectives. We engaged and managed relationships with third-party vendors that handled online ordering, catering, and the TooJay's rewards programs. We upgraded their gift card system using WooCommerce and built a ground-up, customized solution using Moltin and the Stripe API.
We also managed their Google and Facebook ads, which are critical to their marketing efforts. Using Google Tag Manager we helped them get the data and insight they needed to measure the effectiveness of their ads.
We launched the new site in April of 2018, ahead of schedule for their summer launch. By focusing on their mobile experience and resource load times, we were able to shave five seconds off their home page load time. In fact, the site is now the fastest loading site in their industry according to Google. The site is also much easier for us to maintain on a monthly basis, which saves them time and money in the long run.
"The 45royale team is amazing to work with. As a restaurant company, we have specific timing needs and a lot of moving parts. They seamlessly handle everything and proactively make recommendations on how to improve the process going forward. They add great value to our brand and enhance the guest-facing experience as well as improve analytics and functionality. I highly recommend 45royale."

Balanced, rich and elegant, The Glenlivet 18 Year Old is a whisky for special occasions. Over the course of 18 years, Master Distiller, Alan Winchester, takes this expression through a combination of cask types, including both first and second-fill American oak (for tropical fruitiness) and ex-sherry oak (for spicy complexity). The result of this deft navigation of the distilling arts is a gorgeous single malt that is complex, yet elegant and balanced.
The 18 Year Old has won more awards than any other expression; every bottle is a true example of the quality and taste of The Glenlivet. Any bottle deserves pride of place in your cabinet… perhaps to be held back for a fitting occasion? It is, after all, crafted to impress.
Founded by George Smith, The Glenlivet has been crafted in the remote Livet Valley, at the heart of Scotland's Speyside region, since 1824. Initially, George Smith was a farmer who used to have illicit stills. In 1824, he founded the first legal distillery in the parish of Glenlivet, thus legalising the already famous illicit whisky from Scotland. He went on to establish the brand's reputation as the best whisky on the market.
In 1884, a court ruling officially gave George Smith's single malt the exclusive right to be called The Glenlivet. At the start of the 20th century, The Glenlivet became the favourite whisky for enthusiasts throughout the British Empire. Following the end of Prohibition in the United States, its reputation grew in America, with The Glenlivet quickly becoming the No.1 single malt in the USA – a position it continues to enjoy today.
The Glenlivet owes its unique taste to a number of specific factors relating to its production and location. Indeed, the distillery is located in the Cairngorms National Park, at over 270 metres above sea level. According to weather records, it is considered to be the coldest place in Britain, characterised by strong winds and heavy snowfalls in winter.
Water is drawn from Josie's Well, a source of hard mineral water, which enables complex aromas to develop during the distillation process. Then, the lantern-shaped stills used for distilling give the spirit its outstanding balance and strong character. Lastly, a careful ageing process, particularly in American oak casks, gives The Glenlivet its full flavour.
Rich fruit, toffee
Balanced, bursts of sweet orange
Long, with raisins and spice
Old gold, apricot

Gold Mining in China
Kelsey Flynn
College of Southern Maryland
As of 2012 China has the second largest economy in the world with a Gross Domestic Product of 7.298 trillion US dollars; that is 9.1% more that it was in 2011. The countries growth is expected to steadily increase by an average 9.5 % between 2012 -2015. This would lead many firms to believe that selling their product or even moving their firm to China would be a smart business move. However, when doing so you should know the ins and outs of the market in which you plan to do business. You should also know the economic, cultural, and political forces that you will be going up against by doing business there.
A major leader in the mining industry in China is the Zijin Mining Group. It is led by Chairman, President, and Chief Engineer Chen Jinghe. Last year it saw a 44.77% sales growth just between 2010 and 2011. Zijin had a net income of 897.44 million in 2011. They own 8 gold mines including the Zijinshan Gold Mine, which is the largest open pit in China. The opportunity for discovering and mining gold is clearly abundant in China. One major issue you will run into, as Google saw in 2007 when they attempted to open a market in China, is the government.
Chinese government has recognized the importance of a strong mineral industry for its ever growing economy. Until recently the country had very strict laws controlling the exploration, mining, and selling of gold and silver that came out of the land. Under the 1983 rule put in place by the Bank of China, all gold that was to be purchased or distributed had to be sold to the Bank of China. Exporting gold was illegal; the metal was considered "special industry." Foreign entities and individuals were allowed to invest in mineral exploration and exploitation abiding by the Mineral Resource Law, and were subject to all other laws. While they are still subject to the Mineral Resource Law and all other laws in China, the Mineral Resource Law was amended in 1996 allowing foreign investment enterprises to be treated the same as domestic enterprises. One of China's goals is to increase government revenues, technology, and raw materials. They have realized that allowing such investors is the best way to achieve this goal at a faster rate. However, doing business in China provides many obstacles and can be extremely risky, even more so for the mining industry. There are several rules and regulations set in place by all forms of government. China has a tri-level structured government. They include The National People's Congress, State Administration, and Provincial Congresses. Each of these tiers has their own policies and rules that everyone must abide by, everyone including foreign businesses in China. There are several steps you must go through to mine in China. They have recently adopted a "permit" type system. Exploration Permits can be purchased by the Central or the Provincial Bureau of Land and Resources. They issue licenses in 3 year leases and they only allow your exploration in a certain area of the land (usually about 848 acres.) If a deposit is found after purchasing the Exploration Permit the licensee may apply for a 2 year renewal or retention of the exploration right within 30 days of the expiration of the previous exploration term. The Ministry of Land and Resources is in charge of approving exploitation applications. Along with those applications and permits there are several taxations through each level of government for mining minerals. According to the Environmental Protection Agency Chinese mining accounts for 85% of Chinese solid waste each year. The government taxes firms based on the level of emissions they put in the environment, which according to the statistic above, emissions for mining companies is quite substantial. A seven step process for foreign exploration investment has been formulated at the Central Government level. Those steps are: inquire...

An effervescent capital, a dreamy coastline and beautiful thousand-year-old temples hidden in the jungle. In this post we select for the indispensable enclaves to visit in Thailand so that you can squeeze the kingdom of Siam to the maximum.
Royal Palace of Bangkok – Asian splendor
Bangkok, as the gigantic city it is (inhabited by more than six million souls, twelve if we count the districts of the periphery), has so many attractions that in a single trip it is impossible to cover them all. Choosing is always giving up, but what everyone should visit is the great complex of the Royal Palace, whose area exceeds 200 km2. On the banks of the Chao Phraya River, construction began in 1792 and it was not until the mid-20th century that it ceased to be the official residence of the Thai royal family. Of all our recommendations, of the things to visit in Thailand that will surprise you the most. In addition, of all the majestic and colorful buildings that are distributed by the immense gardens, the most outstanding are the Wat Prhra Kaew, which houses the famous Emerald Buddha, and the Chakri Mahprasad Hall, a beautiful building in Italian Renaissance style. Now, travelling to the wonder Thailand is easy as never before as there are many travel agents which offer cheap flights to Thailand that suits your budget; so don't wait and book your flights now.
Life between Khlongs channels
These are the channels that are still preserved in the west of Bangkok and were designed to meet the needs of the transport of goods at the end of the 19th century. To find out where the nickname of the Venice of the East comes from, you should go to the Sapham Taksin pier and embark on one of the motorized sampans that travel one or two hours. Within everything you have to visit in Thailand, if you have enough time (you'll have it, because here the clock runs in a much more leisurely way), our recommendation is that you opt for the second itinerary, as it delves into the less traveled channels and thus you will have the opportunity to see more closely how the daily life of ordinary people, who live on the edge of the water, between the channels.
Ayyuthaya – A leap in time
Ninety kilometers north of Bangkok is one of the most fascinating ancient cities in Asia, dating back to the mid-14th century. For more than 400 years it was the prosperous capital of the ancient kingdom of Siam, as well as a major commercial enclave in Indochina. Another essential thing to visit in Thailand. The decline of his glory days came in 1767, when the Burmese army entered the city, destroying everything in its path. Ayyuthaya's priceless treasures were also plundered but some were recovered and shown to the public at the Chao Sam Phraya Museum in the new city. Since 1991 was cataloged as a World Heritage Site by Unesco, many buildings have been rebuilt but there are still numerous ruins of magnificent palaces, such as the Grand Palace, and temples with pagodas, such as Wat Phra Sir San Phet or Wat Phra Ram, as well as dozens of Buddha sculptures that they watch impassively how visitors wander enraptured by such beauty.
Ko Phi Phi – A movie beach
These spectacular islands bathed by the Andaman Sea, off the coast of Krabi, were well known some time ago, but became world famous since they used some of its beaches as stages of the film The Beach, starring Leonardo Di Caprio. Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Lee, the two main ones, with extensive sandy beaches sheltered by lush vegetation and the turquoise sea in the background, are the paradigm of paradise on earth. Of everything you have to visit in Thailand, this place will make you fall in love.
Sky Bars – A cup in the heights
The coolest face of Bangkok comes to light at night, but we confirm that it also has it. The nightlife of this city is incomparable, as are its fashionable venues. El Siroco, on the 63rd floor of the State Tower, is the ideal spot to watch a crazy sunset with a glass of champagne in your hand. If you do not have vertigo, leave the typical thing to visit in Thailand and dare to step on the methacrylate platform that flies over the lights of the city. Electrifying The next stop for dinner -as long as you accompany the budget- can be the Vertigo Grill & Moon Bar , whose tables are arranged on the top floor terrace of the Bayan Tree Hotel and offer 360º views. To culminate an evening of high flights, we recommend that you visit theRed Sky , on the 55th floor of the luxurious Centara Grand at Central World, is the newest of the three and has the most futuristic and cosmopolitan design of all.
Damnoen Saduak – The floating market
To attend the spectacle of seeing a floating market you have to travel to the province of Ratchaburi, about fifty miles southeast of Bangkok. Once there, the plan is to sit on a step and be overwhelmed with the coming and going of the boats full of fruits, vegetables, flowers, noodles and, above all, how sellers and buyers interact and how they close their commercial agreements. The paradise of barter. Very typical of places to visit in Thailand. But although it is a very touristy point, it retains its charm and serves to illustrate the details of traditional life there.
Lisu Lodge – Sleeping with a tribe
In this village, one hour from Chiang Mai, everything is designed for the visitor to experience the experience of being welcomed by a Lahu community, one of the tribes of Chinese origin in the north of the country. This is how tourism is enhanced in this area while protecting the millennial cultural identity of these communities and guaranteeing them a way to earn a living. In addition, there are special programs that include activities in the area, such as trekking and mountain bike routes, rafting or elephant trekking through the jungle. Lisu Lodge will be one of the places to visit in Thailand that will most fill your trip.
Chiang Mai – Visit its temples
700 kilometers northwest of Bangkok, it is guarded by mountains and rice fields. The second most important city in Thailand, former capital of the Lanna kingdom, has a history dating back to the thirteenth century and is known by the nickname of Rose of the North. There stand more than 300 temples, although the most revered is that of Doi Suthep,who stands on top of a mountain with the city scattered at his feet.
Six Senses Hideaway Samui – The best hotel in the world?
For many, the Six Senses Hideway Samui is the best hotel in the world and that is why it figures in the top positions of prestigious rankings of places to visit in Thailand. It is located north of the island of Koh Samui, the largest in the country, in a privileged location that provides amazing views of the Gulf of Siam. Every corner here exudes exclusivity, sophistication and good taste: from the private villas that look out to the sea to the last of its superb restaurants.
Wat Po – The culture of massage
Leaving Thailand without having a massage should be a crime. You will find many options, from small premises at the foot of the street where they charge a few baths, to sophisticated spas in luxury hotels. Being purists, the most authentic place to connect with this fundamental ingredient of Thai culture is the Wat Po. It is a temple within the grounds of the Royal Palace that houses the school of masseurs. Do not expect to find delicate flowers to receive you or a sophisticated decoration but, yes, the massage you will receive will be 100% authentic. Ask about the courses they offer for foreigners.
Of all the places to visit in Thailand, where would you start?

One of my YouTube subscribers, Alyssa, asked me to make an angel tree topper. After giving it a lot of thought, I wanted to keep it simple. I decided to use mostly recycled materials.
You will need:
- Brown paper shopping bag
- White acrylic paint
- Gold acrylic paint
- Black fine permanent marker
- Red permanent marker
- Unfinished wood ball
- Hot glue
- Ribbon
- Thin wire
- Yarn or rope for hair
- Glitter
- Flesh acrylic paint (optional)
Here is the video tutorial:
1. Cut open the paper bag, so it lays flat. Then fold a portion of it over and cut a semi-circle, so when you unfold it, you have a full circle. Cut the circle in half.
2. Paint both sides of the semi-circle white and allow to dry.
3. Cut two angel wings from some of the remaining paper bag scraps and paint with gold acrylic paint - front and back. Allow to dry. Tip: When you do the wings, leave a little tab so it's easier to glue on. See the video if you want to see the tabs I left on the wings.
4. Roll the semi-circle into a cone and hot glue together. Allow to cool.
5. Snip off the pointy part of the cone, so your head has a place to rest. Take the wood ball and hot glue it to the top of the cone, for the head. Allow to cool.
7. Cut two "L" shaped pieces from the leftover scraps, for the arms. Paint both sides white. Allow to dry.
Glue on arms and then glue hands together to make her look like she is praying.
Glue on arms and then glue hands together to make her look like she is praying.
10. Tie a ribbon around the waist.
11. To make the halo, you need wire. Twist the wire around something circular, to make the round shape. Twist the end together and leave a tail. Bend into an "L" shape. Run a thin bead of hot glue around the top of the halo and sprinkle with gold glitter. Hot glue halo to the back of the head - trying to hide the end in the hair.
TIP: If you want to make her more sparkly, or if you if you need to cover up any hot glue, use glitter and make it look like it was on purpose!
I hope you like it. Thank you Alyssa for challenging me!
Happy Crafting! Merry Christmas!

EQUUS is always the most glamorous event of the year and this year was no exception. On November 14th almost 300 attendees gathered at Hamilton Farm Golf Club in Gladstone where they celebrated the many triumphs of the organization, its riders, clients, donors, volunteers and staff.
As the biggest fundraising event of the year, Mane Stream relies on the generous giving of party goers to raise enough funds to support the many programs offered including adaptive riding, equine assisted therapies (OT, PT, and Speech-Language), Matheny School, Day Top School, Take the Reins for Veterans, and Horses for Healing for those living with or recovering from cancer.
In addition to an evening of dinner, dancing, live and silent auction the attendees were treated to the heartfelt story of AJ, a Mane Stream Occupational Therapy participant. AJ's father described the extensive medical history and the continuous fight to achieve their top two goals set before AJ was born. Goal #1 – attend public school and Goal #2 – walk on the beach. AJ's story told how out of all the therapies he receives, it is Equine Assisted Occupational Therapy at Mane Stream with Miss Gina and Blaze that has become AJ's favorite.
Thank you to everyone who gave generously this year especially our Sponsors!

Basic Care
We recommend that all cats be microchipped, spayed or neutered, and kept current on their vaccinations, exams, and parasite control. When Fluffy is a kitten, she may need to come in a few times during that first year. Then, once she's an adult, she may only need to visit us once or twice a year. Senior cats may need more frequent appointments, however. Ask your vet to recommend an appointment schedule.
Emergency Trips
Just like any other pet, kitties are susceptible to illness and injury. Fluffy may not let on that she's sick right away, so watch for warning signs. Some common ones include hiding, poor grooming, changes in thirst or appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, and respiratory issues. Limping is also a red flag, as are lethargy, fever, litterbox issues, and uncharacteristic vocalizations or behavior. Call your vet immediately if you see any of these symptoms.
Helpful Tips
No matter how old your cat is, don't be afraid to ask questions or get some professional recommendations on Fluffy's diet and care needs. We're dedicated to keeping our feline patients happy and purring, and we're more than happy to help!
The Dreaded Car Ride
Most of our furry patients are not very fond of car rides. In fact, Fluffy really doesn't like to leave her domain. Then, once your furball reaches the clinic, she's faced with not only a strange place, but also the smell and sound of other nervous kitties, some of whom may be sick. We do everything we can to keep cats comfortable. There are some things you can do as well. Putting soft blankets and toys in Fluffy's carrier will help. On the way over, choose routes without a lot of bumps or potholes, and try not to stop or start too suddenly. You can also ask your vet about using cat-calming products, like sprays.
Please contact us, your Tampa, FL vet clinic, for all your cat's veterinary care needs. We are here to help!

The Rose Edit/
Do you ever look through your collection and pick up on themes? Recently I noticed I have an awful lot of products with rose in the name or containing some form of roses. A surefire way of making me buy a product? Put rose in it.
Because of its ability to soothe and calm the skin, rose/rosewater shows up over and over again in my skincare. One of the newest additions is the Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser, which showed up in my January Favorites. They replaced a quarter of the water content with rosewater, making it an extra soothing treat at the end of the day. My skin has been so incredibly hydrated since I started using this cleanser - it's legitimately the only one I've tried that doesn't leave me with an ounce of tightness in my skin after washing it off.
The "rose" marketing really pulled me in on the Origins Original Skin Retexturizing Mask with Rose Clay - it doesn't even have real rose in there, but the pretty pink packaging and the mention of rose got me. Rose clay has got to be more gentle and good for the skin than regular clay, right? This is by far one of my favorite clay masks because, again, it doesn't dry my face out like other ones. If you've got dry skin but still want the benefits of a clay mask, try this one.
The other mask I've got to mention, however, is jam-packed with roses. The Fresh Rose Face Mask is just a thing of beauty, especially in that limited edition packaging that came out last summer. It contains 50% pure rosewater along with an average of two and a half roses in every jar. It just instantly calms down any angry or stressed skin and gives it a beautifully hydrated, supple feel. Sensing a theme here?
Another popular place to stick roses is in a face mist. I use the Glossier Soothing Face Mist and the Herbivore Botanicals Rose Hibiscus Coconut Water Hydrating Face Mist interchangeably - they both feel quite similar on the skin and feel really nice to perk up the complexion in the morning or to wind down after a long day.
The newest addition to my rose obsession is the Pixi Rose Oil Blend. I mentioned this in my Beauty Haul - the second I had some extra money to spend, I dropped it on this. It's got rosehip, sweet almond, jojoba, pomegranate seed, and rose geranium oils in it, and it feels absolutely divine. My skin is given and instant glow and is plumped up and rejuvenated.
I've got lots of lipsticks and other lip products that are made to look like the color of a rose, but two standouts come from Fresh and Korres. I've spoken about my love for the Fresh Sugar Lip Treatments many times before, and their Rose shade doesn't disappoint. It's more sheer than my beloved Petal, but it gives a soft flush to the lips that's super flattering. I don't know why I don't talk about the Korres Lip Butters more often, because they're one of my favorite lip products. The shade Wild Rose is a really lovely sheer deep red that, again, adds a nice flush to your pout all the while nourishing and hydrating your lips. Bonus points in that it smells like roses, too.
What are your favorite rose products?

Georgia appears to be trying out that route once again. Russellville, Kentucky native Landon Stratton announced via his personal Facebook page on Sunday that he intends on joining the Bulldogs' team.First, if you are getting depth for no ding on your scholarship numbers, great. The competition, especially from someone who has punted 212 times in live game action, is good. If he pays off as an improvement over the punters currently on the roster, that is a bonus.
"After a long past few months, I've never been more excited to announce that I will be continuing my football and academic career at the University of Georgia," Stratton said.
"Thank you to everyone who stuck with me during this process, and a bigger thank you to those that left. I'm so thankful for all the love from my family, friends, and coaches during this time. I'm excited for the opportunity and can't wait to get to work!"
Starting the past three seasons for Murray State, Stratton has averaged 41.2 yards per punt, earning third-team Ohio Valley Conference honors last season. Nizialek averaged 45 yards per punt last season for Georgia, ninth best among FBS punters. Stratton has 212 career punts, none of which were blocked, 41 of which traveled 50 yards or more, 18 of which went for touchbacks, and 51 of which were fair caught.
Second, fostering a model where very good, but unheralded, special teams players can come to Georgia as graduate transfers and get a year playing on the high visibility stage that UGA football promises is brilliant. There are currently over 300 non-FBS football programs, many that aren't in markets that the NFL scouts. Being in a position to encourage top special teams players with proven game tape to spend a year in Athens, with the payoff of having the kind of media attention that comes with it, is a win-win.

Syria forces raid cities of Hama and Homs
DAMASCUS - Syrian troops on Monday launched an assault on the central cities of Hama and Homs, shooting dead six people, activists said as at least two were reported killed near the Turkish border.
The latest bloodshed came as the head of the International Red Cross prepared to wrap up a visit to Syria during which he sought access to prisons as rights group say 10,000 people have been arrested since anti-regime protests erupted in mid-March.
"More than 30 military vehicles and security forces raided Hama this morning and heavy gunfire was heard in the city," Omar Idlibi, spokesman of the Local Coordination Committees (LCC), told AFP in Nicosia by telephone.
In Homs two people were killed in the Al-Khalidiyeh district and a third in Al-Bayyada, while a fourth person was shot dead at Tell Kalakh in the Homs region, Idlibi said.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights for its part said a man and his son were shot dead in the Bustan al-Diwan quarter of Homs as they rode on a motor scooter.
The Observatory said 80 people were arrested in Al-Khalidiyeh, where reinforcements were sent from Hama with four armoured vehicles and seven trucks.
The LCC spokesman also said that in Idlib region in the northwest a sniper killed a man who was trying to cross the border into Turkey.
A Turkish local source in touch with the Syrian community on the other side of the frontier said two people were killed and five wounded in an assault by Syrian troops on the village of Ain al-Beida.
Another village, Khirbet al-Joz, was also attacked and some 700 people were seen fleeing to the border, the source said.
The governor's office in the southern Turkish province of Hatay sent ambulances to the border to pick up wounded people from the incident, Turkish NTV television said, without specifying the number of injured.
Also in Idlib, the LCC said the village of As-Sabil was surrounded and arrests were made.
Near Jabal al-Zawiya in the northwest a grave containing seven bodies was found by locals, who were prevented by the army from retrieving them.
More than 2,200 people have been killed in Syria since almost daily mass protests began on March 15, according to the United Nations.
President Bashar al-Assad's regime says it is fighting "armed terrorist gangs."
Troops backed by tanks had stormed Hama on July 31, on the eve of the start of the holy Muslim month of Ramadan. At least 100 people were killed, and the troops withdrew 10 days later.
The protest hub of Homs also witnessed violence Sunday as 15 people were wounded when troops and security forces opened fire as part of an operation launched Saturday night, activists said.
"The Syrian authorities have granted the ICRC access to a place of detention for the first time," ICRC president Jakob Kellenberger, who held talks with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Monday, said in a statement.
He said the ICRC was able to visit the Damascus Central Prison in the suburb of Adra on Sunday.
"Initially, we will have access to persons detained by the Ministry of the Interior, and we are hopeful that we will soon be able to visit all detainees," Kellenberger said.
"This is an important step forward for our humanitarian activities in Syria," he said.
During talks with Assad, Kellenberger said he discussed the use of force by security forces and the need to respect the physical and psychological well-being of the detainees, as well as the latest developments in the country since his last visit in June.
"The purpose of these visits ... is to ensure that detainees are treated humanely and that their dignity is respected and preserved," the ICRC said.
Kellenberger also said that his main concern was to ensure that the wounded and sick are able to obtain medical care.
He is to be followed soon by Arab League secretary general Nabil al-Arabi, who said Sunday that Damascus had now agreed to a visit which he had announced a week ago after the 22-member bloc had met to discuss the Syrian crisis.
Syria said an August 27 statement passed by Arab League foreign ministers on the country's deadly unrest contained "unacceptable and biased language," leaving Arabi to await a green light to visit.
The Arab foreign ministers called for an "end to the spilling of blood and (for Syria) to follow the way of reason before it is too late."
Qatar's emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani said Monday that Syrians are determined to keep protesting against Assad's regime despite the deadly crackdown.
"The killing is nearly daily. But it's clear that the Syrian people will not turn back on their demands," Sheikh Hamad told pan-Arab news channel Al-Jazeera.
Tehran reiterated its hope Monday that the crisis in Syria, its main ally in the region, could be resolved "through dialogue and not violence."
Iran "is certain that the Syrian people and the government have the capacity to gain national development through dialogue and refraining from any violence," Hassan Ghashghavi, deputy foreign minister in charge of consular affairs, was quoted as saying by the official IRNA news agency.
Iran is concerned about the possible collapse of its principal ally in the Middle East and has never condemned the violence of the regime in Damascus in suppressing mass protests.
It accuses its traditional foes Israel and the United States of stirring up trouble in Syria.

Why Create a Custom List?
For data-driven marketers, the way you can manipulate a file to meet your needs can make the difference between successful campaigns that keep your clients returning year after year, or a low-performing campaign that drives clients to competitors.

Segmentation can be accomplished in a variety of ways, whether it is sending different offers to Millennials vs. Baby Boomers in your audience or it is identify high-purchasing customers to offer them higher value products and then sending the remaining audience lower-priced products. Either way, segmentation is about increasing response and getting better results. Similarly, applying a key-code to your marketing tactics can help you identify which are getting the best response, helping prove ROI to clients and giving you feedback about winning strategies.

Documentation of a Video Installation, Exhibited at Metro Arts, Brisbane, Australia
Plat du jour is about the accruements of glamour and decoration, and a humorously dry celebration of this. It is pop, trash and home-made. It is about dressing up and 'playing' at beauty. Like Andy Warhol's celebration of the aesthetic of surface, this piece explores a scene where all beauty is 'man-made'.
The climax at the end of this short piece, (or the 'money shot' – call it what you will) in all its sweet, dripping, stickiness, is perfection on a plate. It's the "I love you", the chase sequence, or the falling in a hail of bullets at the end of the movies we love.

Visit Dallas
Putting a big city on a bigger stage
You won't find bigger evangelists for Dallas than its convention and visitors bureau, but it hasn't always been easy to spread the word about what makes the city such a great place to visit. Big D needed a bigger audience to understand that, like its slogan says, "Big things happen here."
The strategies we delivered for VisitDallas.com not only helped fill hotels with out-of-towners, they introduced Dallas neighborhoods and suburbs to one another as well.
Going from underdog to game-changer
Our first project was to help the Dallas Sports Commission attract sports events to the city and to generate buzz for those events with North Texas audiences, even when local teams weren't involved at all. (No judgment on the Cowboys or anything.)
We built a strategy and a site that truly changed the game for how civic sports commissions operate. Our work allowed the sports commission to attract prime-time events and lesser-known pastimes as well. Super Bowls are great targets, but so are youth bowling tournaments and cheerleading championships.
The impact we had
- A redesigned site that targeted not just meeting planners and event committees, but local audiences as well.
- The ability to build microsites for events that typically did not have a large digital presence on their own. These microsites let the commission serve as a digital concierge for audiences and positioned the commission well to attract more events.
Curating the Dallas experience
We expanded the concept of the digital concierge beyond the North Texas sports world. That meant creating the means for VisitDallas.com to become the go-to resource for curated itineraries and listings for a variety of audience segments.
What started as a listings service quickly evolved into easy-to-manage guides for margarita lovers, architecture buffs, budget-conscious travelers – any group that could indulge its passion in Dallas. The site now had the ability to match interests with geographic locations in town, helping tourists from near and far find hot spots right under their noses.
The impact we had
- A category ecosystem within the Visit Dallas brand that allowed individual pieces of content within the site to complement and even thrive from one another.
- A strategy for more engaging content that provided utility, evidenced by metrics showing that more than 50 percent of users consumed entire pages, top to bottom.
Spreading the word, delivering the audience
Where once VisitDallas.com listed 25 or 50 events, our platform and strategy led to the site listing more than 500 events. By creating and delivering a richer content experience with itineraries, including blog posts and guides, we boosted the site's credibility – and its relevance.
Even as the new approach lured more conventions to town and led to more "heads in beds" for hotels, local traffic to the site increased as well, boosted by organic search results that weren't dependent on ads or Yelp reviews.
As data showed that the results of the strategy accomplished the obvious mission of attracting out-of-town tourists, the accompanying boost in local visitors was worth celebrating, too. In making it easier for a city to sell itself, we helped Dallas get to know itself better as well.

England vs Pakistan: Champions Trophy preview
Hugo Joseph | June 16, 2017, 10:07
England, the only team in the semi-finals with a flawless played three, won three group record, will be favourites on Wednesday and Arthur said: "We've got nothing to lose, yes, but we've always said we're in it to win it. We had that in our bags, but unfortunately, the fielding let us down", he said. "Every game is a knockout game and I told my boys to play their game and not worry about the result", he added.
"We continue to learn, everything we did was calculated, but Pakistan had played on the wicket previously and that helped".
Pakistan qualified for the semi-finals of the ICC Champions Trophy, defeating Sri Lanka by three wickets at Cardiff last night.
15 Number of boundaries hit by England - their fewest in a completed innings since the 2015 World Cup. "Our unpredictability. We give the guys clear roles, they know what they need to do", said Arthur.
If there is a second minor over-rate offence committed by Pakistan during the event with Sarfraz as captain, he will be suspended for one match.
Azhar Ali and Fakhar Zaman had a 118-run opening stand to qualify for their first ICC Champions Trophy final.
"I'm very happy about my youngsters performing", Sarfraz said.
Hasan Ali's three for 35 from 10 overs shone brightest among the Pakistani bowler, which earned him the man of the match award and taking him to 10 wickets for the tournament and the top of the bowling charts.
Captain Sarfraz Ahmed was the hero as he struck an important 61 not out off 79 balls to guide his team home.
Azam finished on 38 off 45 balls, which included two boundaries and a six, while Hafeez remained undefeated on 31 off 21 deliveries, which included three boundaries and two sixes. Pakistan was one over short of its target with time allowances taken into consideration.
Earlier, Sri Lanka had suffered a collapse of their own as superb left-arm pace bowling from Amir and Junaid Khan reduced Sri Lanka from 3-161 to 7-167 in four devastating overs. The 48-run stand for the third wicket was broken by 18-year-old spinner, Shadab Khan, in the 28th over.
Bairstow, dropped twice, accumulated 43 runs through good shot placement and quick running between the wickets before he pulled seamer Hasan Ali to Mohammad Hafeez at deep square leg.
For Sri Lanka, Niroshan Dickwella (73; 86b; 4×4) was the top-scorer who alongwith skipper Angelo Mathews (39; 54b; 2×4; 1×6) stitched together the highest partnership of the innings of 78 runs for the fourth wicket. In the end, their bats were needed, too.
