Marvel Studios and the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) didn't create the button, mid-credit/post-credit scene but they sure made it popular. Ever since Iron Man was released in 2008 and all the way to the latest release of Doctor Strange there have been 22 mid- and post-credit scenes in all 14 of these movies. Let's breakdown all the scenes in all the movies and rank them from worst to best!
22) Captain America: The First Avenger: Fury Has a Job for Cap
This mid-credit scene is essentially a trimmed down version of what we get to see in The Avengers. Nick Fury approaches Captain America in the gym and tells him that he needs him for a mission to save the world. At the time it was a nice tease for The Avengers but these scene doesn't age well and, watching it now, they feel superfluous; easily the least memorable of the credit scenes.
21) Thor: Loki's Reflection
This post-credit scene was a set up for The Avengers and sees Dr. Eric Selvig being escorted by Nick Fury in an unknown S.H.I.E.L.D. facility where he holds the Tesseract. Selvig is asked if he'll study the object and an invisible Loki instructs him to agree, which he does. The scene was mysterious and ominous at the time and hints at the control that Loki will eventually have on Selvig in The Avengers. It ends up being just slightly less forgettable than Fury/Cap/Gym scene in The First Avenger.
20) Ant-Man: I Know a Guy
Much like Number 23, the post-credit sequence in Ant-Man was a scene from the next film in the MCU; in this case it was Captain America: Civil War. The scene is basically where Falcon and Captain America have Bucky prisoner and it seems his conditioning is wearing off. Cap says they need help and Falcon states he knows a guy. It's cool because we know he's talking about Ant-Man (who kicked Falcon's butt in the film, mind you) and it's neat that it's a scene from Civil War but, ultimately, this scene loses a lot of its luster even after the second time you watch it.
19) Captain America: Civil War: Spidey's New Tech
Civil War was a big film with a lot going on in it. One of the most anticipated elements was getting to see our new Spider-Man after the landmark deal between Sony and Marvel Studios. This new Spidey also promised a new solo film that would cement his place in the MCU and the post-credit scene in Civil War was a tease to that. Not much really happens in this part other than we see a present that Tony Stark left for the man who can do whatever a spider can. It's a nice tease but, like the last few entries, it loses its magic with repeat viewings.
18) Thor: The Dark World: Cootie Time
The life of a superhero can be a lonely one and often, in order to protect the ones they care about, they end up pushing them away. It's pretty amazing to think about how deep of a connection Thor and Jane Foster had in the first film but how little they actually connected (physically, is what I'm saying). This post-credit scene sees these two get that smooch that some viewers were waiting to see… and we get to see that Jotunheim creature chasing birds. It had something for everyone, I guess. It's touching and amusing but doesn't really have the kick of a great credit scene.
17) Captain America: The First Avenger: Avengers Assemble
Let's be honest, when we all waited for that moment after the credits when we first saw Captain America's first film we all freaked out when we saw the short teaser for the Phase 1 culmination that was The Avengers. However, since then, we've all seen Joss Whedon's film several times over and the teaser just isn't that exciting anymore. Still, it's a good memory and that's why this post-credit scene isn't at the bottom of the list.
16) Thor: The Dark World: Meet The Collector
Honestly, as much as I like Thor's films I don't think he's gotten the best bits for his credit sequences. In this mid-credit sequence from Thor's second film, we see Sif and Volstagg delivering the Infinity Stone that is the Aether into the hands of The Collector in order to ensure that in doesn't get into the wrong hands. The only issue is that he was the wrong hands. It's a great setup for Infinity War and a nice introduction of Benicio del Toro's role but it's a setup that only feels immediately satisfying because of seeing Collector; everything else about it feels like it will pay off too far off into the future.
15) Avengers: Age of Ultron: If the Glove Fits
It was a bit of a shock when Joss Whedon stated that there wasn't going to be a post-credit sequence in Age of Ultron and some, including me, thought he was lying in order for it to be a surprise. It was a surprise because there was literally nothing after the credits. However, it did give us a mid-credit sequence where we see Thanos taking matters into his own hands—and that hand would be covered with the Infinity Gauntlet. It's cool as hell to see the Mad Titan putting on the gauntlet but since this is setting up events that are still pretty far down the road for the MCU it ends up leaving an impact that is too easily filled up and forgotten about.
14) Captain America: The Winter Soldier: Field Trip to the Museum
While it's cool to see a credit scene set up the next film in the MCU, it's also nice when they have a sequence that advances the story and development of the characters in the current film. In its post-credit sequence, The Winter Soldier shows Bucky Barnes visiting the Smithsonian's exhibit on Captain America. Is he there to try and remember his past life or he is there for another reason? It was a great setup for things to come with him in the next Captain America film and still holds strong as one of the better post-credit scenes.
13) Iron Man 3: Nap Time
Sometimes a post-credit scene doesn't need to set up anything and can just be fun. Marvel Studios doesn't do this often but they sure nailed it in Iron Man 3. In this scene, we learn that the events we just witnessed was actually Tony doing a little storytelling to Bruce Banner… unfortunately, Banner wasn't too invested and fell asleep along the way. It's a cute, charming and fun little button to close out the film!
12) Captain America: The Winter Soldier: Age of Miracles
In another landmark deal (but on a smaller scale than the one involving Spider-Man), Fox and Marvel Studios were able to reach an agreement that centered on a bunch of loopholes that would allow both Fox's X-universe and the MCU to have their own version of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch (they were, after all, both X-Men and members of the Avengers). The Winter Soldier introduced these non-mutant versions in a mid-credit sequence where Wolfgang von Strucker (who never got the time to shine like he deserved in the MCU, in my opinion) debuted them and declared that it is now the time of miracles. It was a nice set up for Age of Ultron and it was cool to see the twins together in movie form. Too bad Scarlet Witch was the only one who continued to have a presence in the universe.
11) Doctor Strange: Have a Drink
I'm not too concerned with Spoilers for most of these since they've been out for some time (if you haven't watched some, why are you reading this article?) but since Doctor Strange still hasn't even been in the theaters for a month, I'll respect the Spoilers rule and tip-toe around this mid-credit scene. The bare bones of it all is that it sets up another film in Phase 3 and what Doctor Strange has to do with it. It's a simple sequence that involves some great back-and-forth between two characters and has a great gag involving tea and beer. It's simple, fun and, since it's the latest teaser of what's to come and it's fresh enough to get us excited and it kinda works better than other scenes that are comparable. Granted, this one might have the same shelf life as something like in Entry 19 or 20 but, as of right now, it's pretty high on the list.
10) Captain America: Civil War: A Visit to Wakanda
One of the films I'm most excited for that is coming up is Black Panther's solo film. His introduction into the MCU during Civil War didn't disappoint and this mid-credit sequence that teases his homeland of Wakanda is not only a great setup to his film but gets me all geared up to see what is going to come next for the man! Plus, how cool was it when the camera pans out to that imposing statue?
9) Ant-Man: Hope's Hope
Even with Agent 13, Black Widow, and Scarlet Witch, the MCU can be a bit of a sausage party; so that's why this next mid-credit sequence is so cool. Ant-Man shows us that Hope's parents once fought side-by-side as Ant-Man and Wasp so when Hank Pym reveals that he made a new Wasp suit specifically for Hope things get awesome and sets up the Ant-Man sequel where we'll see Scott Lang and Hope van Dyne fight evil together.
8) Guardians of the Galaxy: This Ain't Lucas' Duck
To me, this was the most surprising of all the post-credit sequences because it marked a cameo from one of Marvel's most goofy characters they've ever had and one that might be in one of the worst comic book adapted movies to ever be produced. If you avoided the Spoilers, seeing Howard the Duck (and voiced by Seth Green, no less) was pretty fun and a great cameo choice from James Gunn.
7) The Avengers: Shawarma, Anyone?
Here's another one of those post-credit moments that is just played for the LOLs. This isn't setting up the next film but just wrapping up the events of The Avengers and cashing in on a punchline that Tony Stark set-up earlier in the film. It's just a simple, hilarious shot of the team eating some food and looking absolutely exhausted from the battle. Each character has their own amusing quirks going on that make this a stupidly entertaining moment. Cap is so tired he won't take his head out of his hands, Hawkeye has his leg perched on Black Widow's chair, Tony is looking far off into space as he loudly wipes his hands on a napkin—hell, my favorite aspect of it all is how Thor genuinely looks like he is enjoying the food. It's just a terrific scene.
6) Iron Man 2: If I Had a Hammer
Sure, the two films in the MCU prior to this did a nice job of teasing up the future for the shared cinematic universe but this one was a bit on the next level. When the camera pulls out and you see Mjolnir sitting in the crater you knew this concept of all these movies tying together to create something huge was on. Sure, we're coming up to our third Thor film but it still is a goose bumps moment when you see that hammer for the first time.
5) The Incredible Hulk: Reload
There's not much going on in this scene and I won't deny that it is a fairly inconsequential button scene but the only reason that this moment where Tony Stark enters the bar where General "Thunderbolt" Ross is drinking away his failure over the whole Banner/Blonsky incident is because this is where it gets real. Iron Man could have been a fluke and nothing could have been built from it but instead this moment shows us that this shared universe means business.
4) The Avengers: The Mad Titan Revealed
There's no getting around it, The Avengers is an awesome film! Joss Whedon made a masterpiece of comic book action and it only got better when the mid-credit sequence hit. Here it is revealed who is pulling the strings and we find out it is the cosmic baddie Thanos! Holy crackers that was cool! Not to mention that wicked smile we see on his face when he hears the word "death" mentioned. This moment showed just where the MCU was going to go and it was going to go big.
3) Doctor Strange: A Villain is Born
Once again, I'll walk on eggshells to avoid the nefarious Spoilers but the post-credit scene in Marvel's latest film really showcases what these moments are all about. While the fact that this is the latest film and the excitement is still farm fresh (and, like some others, might go down as forgettable with repeat viewings) and adding to the fact that this scene isn't about pimping the newest Marvel movie but rather it's all about developing a character in this film and setting up the sequel. Marvel Studios has a lot of issues with developing their villains and this scene did something that pretty much made the next bad guy slightly deeper than some of the other films they've done.
2) Guardians of the Galaxy: Dance, Baby Groot, Dance!
I may be biased because Guardians is my favorite films in the MCU and one of my favorite comic properties from Marvel but the mid-credit sequence that has Baby Groot dancing to The Jackson 5's "I Want You Back" is just adorable and fun. This scene does nothing to set up the crew's sequel film or establish the next entry in the shared universe but you can't beat the sentient tree's moves and can't help but laugh when he freezes the second Drax looks in his direction.
1) Iron Man: The Avengers Initiative
There's no way around this. This moment after the credits of Iron Man was the granddaddy of them all because it kicked this whole beast into motion. Seeing Nick Fury—played by Samuel L. Jackson, no less—was incredible and really set the bar high for the potential the MCU would be. It was hard not to geek out when I heard Fury mention the words "Avengers Initiative." This was the first and continues to be the best!
This wasn't an easy list to compile and quantify. Marvel has done so much with all their movies and trying to rank all the credit scenes was a Herculean task—okay, not really but it was still difficult. Now, few of you will agree, some will disagree and everyone will have their own ranking. How do the credit scenes rank for you? Let us know in the comments.

Are you confused with your oily hair? Do you find your hair oily in summer season mostly? Well we all know that when you are making the use of best shampoo and conditioner then it is all evident that you will going to find your scalp healthy and best in growth. Some of the companies claim that their manufactured shampoo is the best one inside the market. Do you think it is true? Well if you purchase some shampoo or conditioner in order to get rid from the oily hair and still if it doesn't show out its excellent results then it is all possible that there is something wrong in the shampoo products.
Now the main question is that how to choose best and excellent shampoo for oily hair texture? Below are some of the main and prominent tips that you should keep in mind while buying some shampoo for oily hair.
Guidelines To Choose Best Shampoo For Oily Hair:
1. Dry:
If you have dry hair then you should make the choice shampoo that is all added with eggs. Eggs are all used up for softening the hair just because it is installed with proteins that are effective for the dry hair. Choose the one that is creamy and not clear at all. You should opt out for the choice of shampoo that is added with the mild detergents but they should be all rich in the conditioner quality. The appearance of Shea butter or lanolin will going to help you a lot to manage dryness in a better way.
2. Oily:
For treating away the oily hair you should choose the shampoo that has the enrichment of Citric juice or malic acid component. They are mainly taken as excellent components for curing the oiliness inside the hair. Don't make the choice of Protein and balsam shampoos as they will going to increase up the oiliness in the hair scalp even more. Only single drop of patchouli will be best in order to trim down sebum production.
3. Curly/Coarse:
In favor of curly or coarse hair textures you should make the use of creamy moisturizing shampoos. They should be all containing with the company of wheat germ oil, Shea butter and nut oils just like macadamia nut oil or even coconut oil are good.
4. Fine/Limp:
For the fine and limp texture of hair you can better use up the clear and gentle shampoos. These shampoos are all found to be rich in the panthenol are that is all helpful in making the hair strands look thicker. They are helpful in keeping the hair moisture balance.
5. Colored/Treated:
If you have colored hair then they demands for double attention because they normally get weak because of the hair coloring. We would like to advise you to make the use of Moisturizing shampoos by means of gentle cleansers are advised.
So get hold over the shampoo according to your hair texture and we are sure that you will going to find your hair longer lasting and silky shiny as well.

Today is Trofim Lysenko's birthday; he was born on this date in 1898.
Never heard of him? Don't worry, most in the West haven't.
He was Stalin's pet scientist. Decided Mendel was wrong about inherited traits. According to Lysenko, you could alter genetics by environmental influence. Very handy, that, when you're trying to convince Stalin that you can grow grain in climates and seasons in which it won't grow. In Ithaca, New York, in 1932, one of his fellow Soviet scientists reported, with a straight face: "The remarkable discovery recently made by T D Lysenko of Odessa opens enormous new possibilities to plant breeders and plant geneticists of mastering individual variation. He found simple physiological methods of shortening the period of growth, of transforming winter varieties into spring ones and late varieties into early ones by inducing processes of fermentation in seeds before sowing them."
The fellow from whom that last quotation comes, Nikolai Vavilov, paid with his life for his subsequent disagreement with Lysenko. He was arrested in 1940, sentenced to death in 1941, and died — apparently of starvation — in GuLAG in 1943.
Lysenko came up with all manner of whack-job pseudo-scientific claptrap, and rammed it down the throat of Russian science with a bayonet. According to the Wikipedia write-up, dissent from his theories was formally outlawed in 1948. Solzhenitsyn ran across several — including Vavilov — who similarly paid with their hides for the sin of crossing the politically decreed "scientific" orthodoxy of Trofim Lysenko.
Lysenko's ascendancy lasted through the late 1950s.
Why is it important that we recall Trofim Lysenko today? When we have mainstream politicians and widely-regarded pundits openly calling for the criminalization of disagreement with the theory of anthropogenic global warming — or "climate change" or whatever it's called this month — we must remember that we are listening to the intellectual and moral heirs of Lysenko. This is all the more so when someone points out that, from analysis of U.S. climate data from 1880 to the present, over 90% of the U.S. data which is presented to "prove" AGW has been monkeyed with, and is not, in fact, the raw data. It's been estimated, modeled, or just made up. From the linked article's conclusion:
"The US accounts for 6.62% of the land area on Earth, but accounts for 39% of the data in the GHCN network. Overall, from 1880 to the present, approximately 99% of the temperature data in the USHCN homogenized output has been estimated (differs from the original raw data). Approximately 92% of the temperature data in the USHCN TOB output has been estimated. The GHCN adjustment models estimate approximately 92% of the US temperatures, but those estimates do not match either the USHCN TOB or homogenized estimates."
From the e-mails and documents released as part of what's come to be called "ClimateGate" (I wonder if Liddy et al. are tortured in their sleep by this plague of -gate nonsense terms visited on us year in and year out), Gentle Reader will perhaps recall that the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit brought someone in to try to reproduce the raw historical data on which it — and most of the rest of the climate science world — relies. The problem, it seems, is that they've so thoroughly corrupted their data, and were so careless in preserving their original data, that it's impossible to replicate their results. That's probably an over-simplification, but the key bit is that after two or so years of trying their own numbers guy threw up his hands in despair and quit. Said it couldn't be done.
Thus what we're left with is a mountain of corrupt historical data, current data that is likewise manipulated to match models' predictions, contradictory real-world observations (shrinking ice cover at the north latitudes, and record increases in the southern, shrinking glaciers, 17-year non-warming periods when all the models tell us that, with carbon dioxide levels relentlessly increasing, we should be absolutely cooking) . . . and scientists and politicians carping on how we just need to turn over more money and more power to them, and all will be made well. Oh, I did forget to mention that we also got to see, as part of ClimateGate, numerous climate scientists scheming behind the curtains to stack journals' editorial boards and peer review processes to suppress publication of scientific literature skeptical of their conclusions?
And we're supposed to use the coercion of the criminal law system to punish anyone who dares to question the politically established orthodoxy? Remind me again how that worked out for Soviet science.
Trofim Lysenko is dead and in his grave, but his ghost stalks the halls of climate science to this day.
[Update 05 Oct 2015]: As if on cue, two European research foundations, one French and the other German, recently released a study on the production of isoprene in the uppermost film of the ocean surface. I'm no chemist, nor of course a climatologist, but isoprene, it seems, has a strong effect on cloud formation, and cloud formation is intimately connected with a cooling effect on the global climate. (Yes, that's grossly simplified, but then if you want to read the full study, here's the link). The study, by the way, was funded by a grant from the European Research Council, not the Koch brothers.
Up until now, the assumption has been that isoprene is formed by plankton in sea water. But let's get it from the horse's mouth: "Previously it was assumed that isoprene is primarily caused by biological processes from plankton in the sea water. The atmospheric chemists from France and Germany, however, could now show that isoprene could also be formed without biological sources in surface film of the oceans by sunlight and so explain the large discrepancy between field measurements and models. The new identified photochemical reaction is therefore important to improve the climate models."
How big a discrepancy? "So far, however, local measurements indicated levels of about 0.3 megatonnes per year, global simulations of around 1.9 megatons per year. But the team of Lyon and Leipzig estimates that the newly discovered photochemical pathway alone contribute 0.2 to 3.5 megatons per year additionally and could explain the recent disagreements."
In other words, a newly-discovered photochemical, abiotic source of an important aerosol precursor looks as though it may be contributing up to almost 200% more isoprene globally than current climate models assume. Note the low end of the estimate, by the way. I wouldn't suppose that the global output of this newly-discovered source would remain stable year-on-year. But when you need to update your climate models (which still cannot explain the 17-year "hiatus" in observed global warming) to account for up to triple the previously-assumed amount of an input that counteracts the principal effect of your model's core variable (carbon dioxide in the atmosphere), I suggest two thoughts for the curious-minded: 1. What else do the models inaccurately assume or simply not account for at all, and is the failure attributable to scientific malfeasance or garden variety ignorance of a phenomenally complex process? 2. Does not the climate alarmists' dancing around these models as if they were sacred totems have more than a slight whiff of the Israelites' worship of the golden calf?
But remember, class: There are public figures in the United States who want to use the physical coercive power of the criminal law system to suppress disagreement with these climate models.
Trofim Lysenko rides again.
[Update: 11 March 2016]: Didn't believe me, did you, Gentle Reader?
Turns out the U.S. Attorney General has taken a serious look at prosecution of oil companies for daring to disagree on the very unsettled state of whether and to what extent fossil fuels cause "climate change," at least to the extent that the climate is in fact changing in ways and at speeds that cannot be explained by reference to the earth's climatological history. Video at the link. With bonus for invocation of dear ol' Trofim.

Abstract : The purpose of the thesis is to make a limited evaluation of the historical cost data collected by the PRIME (Priority Management Efforts) system for use in making the cost estimates needed for planning integrated logistic support. PRIME cost data associated with the base level maintenance function will be used in making this evaluation. This function was chosen because it is a major cost area in support of Air Force operations. Similar methodology could be applied for analysis of other support areas.

Many important right-wing political figures from the late nineteenth century and inter-war period have been over-shadowed in history by Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler. Rebecca Haynes here assesses the careers of seventeen of the most important figures in right-wing politics in Central and Eastern Europe during this period and reveals the significance of leaders whose impact has been overlooked. Some of these were Nazi-sympathisers; others rejected German National Socialism in favour of rival nationalist and right-wing ideologies and programmes. But all played a role in modern European political history that cannot be ignored. This book seeks to draw some of the leading right-wing politicians and thinkers in Central and Eastern Europe out from under Hitler's shadow.

Rather than pension savings being inaccessible and annuities being the default option for most consumers, the freedoms opened up a range of other options.
With this freedom was predicted a rise in the drawdown market (something that certainly came to pass – though it by no means meant the death of annuities) and, as such, a wider range of providers and asset managers were presented with an opportunity to strengthen their presence in this area of the market.
The call to action
As a result of the changes to the annuities industry through the Budget 2014 as well as changes to death benefits, Canada Life were developing a new retirement income proposition (CanRetire) in a bid to both safeguard their standing in the annuities market and maximise gain from subsequent opportunities.
With a framework already in place there was a need to:
- Identify any potential red flags and / or sources of real enthusiasm / points of true differentiation from the target adviser audience;
- Ensure the Canada Life business differentiators (technical expertise / support and ease of doing business) were achieved through a thorough appreciation of what advisers get, expect and require from retirement propositions in 2015 and beyond;
- Provide insight to enable Canada Life to finalise the fund range to be made available through the proposition – ensuring it met adviser and client requirements;
- Understand how the proposition could best be positioned with target adviser audiences (including identification of key messages for communication and support); and
- Understand (within the context of evolving adviser retirement planning processes and competitor innovation) what was required to ensure the CanRetire proposition stood out.
The outcome
The study provided Canada Life with usable recommendations on how best to refine what was a well-received proposition and to point to the most effective message, levers and modes of communication most appropriate to engage with different types of adviser.
"I have been working with Phil and the team for a number of years now. Over the years they have become an important component to the market insight and research process that I follow, I have no hesitation in recommending them to others. For quality, efficiency and reliability you can rely on them. You also have the added bonus of fantastic and creative personalities that cuts through in everything the team do, making the work we do even more enjoyable! Long may it continue."

President Trump's fiery enthusiasm for actually getting things done seems to be spreading from the Oval Office to the halls of Congress, as House Republicans are gearing up to dismantle several Obama-era regulations.
The former president's legacy has been slowly taken apart bit by bit over the last week as the new administration wasted no time getting to work, implementing a number of executive orders meant to undo some of the damage left behind by the Obama administration.
The regulations in the House GOP's cross-hairs include those involving corruption, the environment, and labor and guns.
Reuters is reporting:
Republicans put as much urgency on limiting what they consider over-regulation that stifles economic growth as they do on overhauling the tax code and dismantling the Affordable Care Act, according to House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy.
Under the Congressional Review Act, Congress can use simple majority votes to stop recent regulations in their tracks. Timing in the law means any rules enacted after May 31 are eligible for axing.
While the Republican-led House of Representatives has passed bills limiting agencies since it convened on Jan. 3, this week marks the first time it has targeted specific rules this year.
Republican President Donald Trump on Monday ordered scrapping two existing rules whenever a new one is approved.
The House Rules Committee was expected on Monday evening to send to the full chamber a measure axing three regulations enacted under former President Barack Obama, a Democrat. They were the Stream Protection Rule, the Securities and Exchange Commission's "resource extraction rule," and the Social Security Administration's expanded background checks on disabled gun buyers.
On Tuesday it will send another measure overturning rules on methane and federal contractors. The full body is expected to pass both measures on Wednesday and then hand them off to the Senate.
The extraction rule, which took six years to complete, was approved this summer and requires companies such as Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM.N) to state publicly how much they pay governments in taxes and other fees. Critics say the rule hurts U.S. energy companies, while human rights groups argue it reduces corruption.
The Interior Department took years to craft the stream rule, hoping to prevent coal-mining waste from contaminating water sources in areas near mountain-top removal mining sites. Critics say it is unnecessary and goes too far, wiping out jobs and usurping state rights.
As you might imagine, liberals in Congress are furious about the rollbacks taking place, but, unfortunately for them, they don't have many tools at their disposal to stop the GOP from carrying out their plans.
This is forcing leftist legislators to prop up activists and attempt to raise public support against the measures being taken by Republicans through events and rallies, but it's highly unlikely this will have any sort of significant impact on stopping the rollbacks.
It's going to be a really long, agonizing four years for our Democrat friends, isn't it?

Our house is cedar siding. To one side of the house there is an area that I would love to make a raise bed. Should I be concerned about the raised bed 9dirt/mulch) touching the cedar siding? I'm afraid doing this may rot the siding or attract termites? Is there a way for me to protect the house?

If you have a query,
just give Megan a holler:
just give Megan a holler:
My Marketing Thing is proudly powered by WordPress 4.0.13 Entries (RSS) Comments (RSS).
I can't believe it's taken me this long to write about the VERY CORE of marketing.
Sure, I've gestured towards it…flirted with it even (namely in 3 things people forget about a new business name). But I can't wait any longer. It is now it's time to 'go there'. It is time to talk about your….
Unique Selling Proposition
God, what an awful, boring term. It's almost as rigor mortis-inspiring as 'corporate image' and 'corporate identity'. It even has a boring acronym: USP.
Okay. It may be hard to believe, but your 'unique selling proposition (USP)' is what makes you really exciting to other people. It is what makes you special.
For remotely effective marketing, it is absolutely vital for you to know – in one line – what your unique selling proposition is. Why? Because if you don't know what makes you special, why should anyone else care?
But nailing your USP can be tricky…
There are two questions to ask yourself:
Question # 1: What do you do that is different from everyone else?
If you say "But I don't care about what anyone else is doing", I say "You're a ning-nong who deserves to fail in business."
Sound harsh? Being spiritual (and loving all of God's creatures) doesn't mean you exist in a bubble. Embrace your environment and understand what's going on around you.
Finding out what makes you different from the rest:
It could be a particular service you give.
It could be a particular product you sell.
It could be a guarantee you offer.
It could be that you know everyone in Bondi is groovy-savvy and there are no plumbing websites that look remotely groovy-savvy…and you are pretty groovy-savvy yourself (yes, even plumbers can be groovy-savvy).
Is being a 'groovy-savvy Bondi plumber' enough to serve as a unique selling proposition? Maybe. This leads us to the next question…
Question #2: Why should I care?
People aren't as caring as you think. They don't really care where you were born or what your favourite colour is. These days, chances are, they won't even care if you are a family business.
But it's a good idea to get to know these people personally – even if they don't want to get to know you personally.
Who are these people?
'These people' are called your 'target market'. They are the people you are selling to, your clients or customers. These are your punters – or punters you wish you had.
How would we describe your punters?
Punter descriptions are often called 'demographics'. Demographics are small boxes we jam complex humans into for the sake of effective marketing.
In other words, sometimes you have to throw the net out and generalise a little. Are your desired punters:
Okay, you get the picture.
So let's look at some possible demographics / characteristics for Bondi punters in need of plumbing repairs for their homes:
What do they care about?
Essentially, most people want to know that:
So why would a groovy-savvy-looking plumbing website be important to Bondi people?
Well, first you have to ensure they understand you will fix the problem at a price that's fine to them. And that your availability is good – who wants dodgy plumbing for more than a day? And that you clean up after yourself, because they hate mess, remember?
But maybe all the plumbers advertising in the Bondi area are saying these things.
So THEN, by having the groovy-savvy-looking website you will be saying "AND we are one of you".
Why is saying 'we are one of you' important?
Answer: Trust. Plumbers come into people homes, often when there isn't another man around. A woman wants to know she can trust the plumber. She's already feeling that 'we are alike' trust from your promotional material by the groovy-savvy-looking design. From your words she knows that you won't be ripping her off financially either.
But that's just one example.
The point is…
The point is that your unique selling proposition isn't just a line of words. It can be conveyed in a multitude of ways. But you need to start with that line of words for your own clarity and go from there.
What do I mean "…and go from there"?
In the next post, you will find out how to use your unique selling proposition in your promotional material….
Note: If you know why you are special, then you are more likely to make your clients feel special.

The New York Mets' David Wright spent Opening Day making my predictions look darn good. At the peak of his prime, Wright has the opportunity to tear open this season and put up MVP-caliber numbers. Three hits in five at-bats with a two-run bomb was almost enough to keep the Mets from giving this game away. Almost.
Wright, the Mets' captain, has been diplomatic about the team's chances all preseason, calming fans' concerns over a weak bullpen and sheltering teammates from that 90-win cloud GM Sandy Alderson rained on them down in Florida. He's content to let his play on the field do the talking and hope a few other Mets will step up from time to time. Deep down, I believe Wright wants to drag this squad into October, kicking and screaming if he has to, if only as a way to say, "what about this year?"
It's a great story, and every time Wright stepped into the batter's box the crowd ventured back from Shake Shack to lean in over the promenade railing or surge towards the nearest television set. Wright still brings the passion Mets fans want and need — the symbol of hope for the entire franchise. After ten years with the team, he's rarely disappointed.
2014 might not be the biggest challenge of Wright's career — not after a serious concussion and finding a date once being photographed in that Great Gazoo helmet back in 2009 — but this season might be the biggest opportunity he'll ever get. The Mets' greatest position player is on the cusp of Hall of Fame worthiness. One more monster season, a la 2007's .325/.416/.546 campaign, along with a playoff charge out of a team expected to win 70-something games would cement his Cooperstown invitation.
Opening Day was a frustrating loss, and afterwards Wright commented to ESPNNewYork: "For us to accomplish what we want to accomplish, we're not good enough to just be giving a game away."
Sounds like a captain challenging his team to demand excellence, the kind of thing you want to hear from a man on a mission. One day at a time, always, but after this one, it's hard not to get a little geeked over what sort of performance Wright could give to Mets fans this year.

I need an analysis of "Tears, Idle Tears"characterization,theme,irony,point of view
- print Print
- list Cite
Tennyson's "Tears, Idle Tears" is a brooding lyric as a classic example of poetic suggestion. The poem opens with a paradox. The speaker unexpectedly finds himself weeping when "looking on the happy autumn-fields." The tears are declared idle, which is to say they seemingly lack any real basis. But are they really mysterious in their origin? Is the speaker weeping?
The poem is loaded with suggestive imagery and situations to answer this question. It might help you to begin by noticing when the poem takes place. It is autumn—the time of harvest and completion. The speaker seemingly cannot help but reflect in this season on "the days that are no more." Where the poem takes place also reinforces the sense that the speaker is painfully cut off from the past. The speaker weeps while "looking on the happy autumn-fields."
Seeing them and remembering the past triggers a series of revealing reveries about "the days that are no more." The first image associated with the past is light on a sail. First, the sail seems "fresh" and dawn-like—bringing "our friends up from the underworld." The last word of that line, underworld, explicitly brings death into the poem. Any reassuring image of the dead returning to us, however, is quickly reversed as the ship sinks "with all we love below the verge." The death imagery becomes more explicit in stanza 3 when the dawn song of the birds falls on "dying ears," and the sun rises to "dying eyes."
In the final stanza, the intensity of the speaker's mood heightens appreciably. He speaks explicitly of love—lost love—and the pain of remembering the beloved. By the end of the poem the reader recognizes (at least intuitively) that the speaker weeps from the memory of a dead or lost beloved (both circumstances are stated) and the pain of being unable to recapture the past.

The Los Alamos Hilltopper boys soccer team picked up a first-place vote in the first poll conducted by NMSoccer.com.
In the first poll of 2010, the Hilltoppers finished third, picking up 31 total points. Voting for this week concluded Sunday.
Not surprisingly, St. Pius X was the consensus No. 1 pick in Class AAAA heading into the season, which opened for several schools around the state Monday. St. Pius, which has won seven of the last eight Class AAAA state championships, garnered four first-place nods and 48 total points, placing it three points ahead of Albuquerque Academy.
Only St. Pius, Academy and Los Alamos garnered first-place votes in the coaches' poll.
Defending state champ Farmington, which knocked off Los Alamos 3-0 in the 2009 finale, finished fifth in the first poll.
The Hilltoppers will open their 2010 season Thursday against the Rio Rancho Rams.

The Seven Magic Ingredients for Ecommerce Success – Part 2
So you are a webshop owner or have plans to start a webshop and success is within reach, right? Well….yes and no. Webshop success is not guaranteed nowadays, to tell you the truth…it never was. You're not the only one out there, competition is fierce. So how to make your webshop a success? Part 2 of our ecommerce tips!
Ecommerce Succes ingredients
The commercial success of two young Dutch webshop entrepreneurs is the perfect starting point for our 'recipe for success'. The story of the two brothers, aged 17 and 20 is a classic one: starting a webshop from their parents' home and within two years expanding to more than a million euros turnover.
In part 1 of the Seven Magic Ingredients for Ecommerce succes, we gave you the the first three Magic Ingredients. Now it's time to go back to the kitchen and finish our cooking session with the remaining four.
The right momentum
This key ingredient can be translated into "being at the right place at the right time". It's a combination of market conditions, business talent, a good dose of luck and is often related to "being the first".
When you're lucky to start a webshop in a niche market without serious competition then you'll probably experience a flying start. Just like the two young brothers did: iPhones where already in high demand when they started, the need to customize iPhones to personal taste was a new trend certainly among juveniles. Cheap iPhone covers where at that time hard to get. The brothers felt the opportunity and jumped into it right away.
Keeping the momentum after a jump start is as important as well. If you'll manage to maintain growth, attract new customers and make them returning customers – which is a matter of business talent, our first magic ingredient – then you have become a "stayer".
New competitors in your niche market will have to make much more effort to become as successful as you are…, if they'll ever do.
Technical insight
The internet is a technical environment. You have to be aware of and stay up to date with the latest internet trends that are vital for the survival of your web shop. Like responsive web design and mobile are today's and catering for 3D mega screens might be tomorrow's.
If you don't have any technical internet knowledge, then get yourself into it right now. You don't have to become a developer, but knowledge of how websites are displayed is in my opinion important. This involves learning basics about HTML, CSS, Server Side Languages like PHP, MySQL, website hosting, performance and caching. It can make the difference between you and your competitors because it will help you to make the right choices in every part of the process: choosing the right ecommerce software, ecommerce development, web design, ecommerce hosting, search engine optimization for your webshop, accounting software etc…
The two young brothers clearly had this technical insight. They started by hiring online webshop software including hosting. They managed to set up a professional looking webshop in very short time all by themselves. Despite their initial success they soon found out that they missed too many features and that they needed to switch to another ecommerce platform. They had the technical insight to setup their first webshop, and make the important decision to switch to another platform soon after. This was elementary for their further success.
You are directly involved in all day-to-day webshop activities : purchasing, handling orders, shipping, customer service, accounting etc… But during growth you will encounter several 'efficiency opportunities'. The first one is often to hand over shipping to a fulfillment party. You know when that time has come, trust me ;-).
Efficiency is a continuous process and is an often neglected but vital ingredient for ecommerce success. It's all about awareness, knowing when the time for an efficiency opportunity has come. It's a psychological process of letting go, not trying to do it all by yourself and realizing that not running from situation to situation anymore will actually save you money. The merchants who best know how to make efficiency work, are the most successful ones in the long term.
What? You're kidding me! Well, I don't think so, after all this is a story about two young successful webshop merchants. So there must be a truth in it: young people are more internet savvy. And the two brothers got aware of the new trend for personalized iPhone covers right from their own friends. But of course age can't be a real success factor. The majority of successful webshop merchants are more likely between their 20s and 40s. Let's change the last Magic Ingredient from 'age' into 'a young spirit'. Meaning that you always have to look for new opportunities, stay up to date of new internet trends and technologies, and dare to take new directions.
This was the last ingredient. You should have a successful webshop on your plate right now. It might be that you missed some ingredients or that the taste is not to your liking. There might be other ingredients that I've missed here. Well, "be my guest", I'd like to read your comments below.

Ashlyfive point linguistic star Essay
Ashlyfive point linguistic star
We've allowed a natural approach to language instruction to dominate our schools, hoping our English learners "will just figure it out. " (SCOE, 2009) This approach suggested by Kevin Clark proposes that teachers explicitly teach ELL by giving them a set of skills. Teacher will have to teach students not just vocabulary, but the sound system of language, the words and their word parts and meanings, and also rules for structuring sentences grammatically. Teaching students from this perspective can support a deeper understanding of the language.
When the concept is thoroughly supported by background knowledge, explanation as to why, activities that strengthen skills, and consistency in lesson structure that follows this pattern, students are more likely to understand the concept and create a platform from which to launch higher level thinking and conclusions on following concepts and content area. Students learn more efficiently when they have prior knowledge on a presented concept. If the student can link content to a concept that they gained from previous knowledge on from their own unique background or culture, it will inevitably spark interest in that subject area.
By sparking interest the teacher is now adding value to the lesson. Since students synonymize interest with value, the teacher would prove effective. Now a sense of purpose has now been infused into the lesson, and the student/students may begin to contribute more. (NCREL, 1990) This approach is rather intriguing, and teachers should be trained in linguistics prior to teaching ELLs. I would learn the subparts of linguistics via a course: phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics.
By learning each subpart in-depth, I can better compose lesson plans and activities that explore those areas for the ELLs to better benefit. Understanding the mechanics of a language is just as important as understanding the language itself, for both teachers and students. The concept of prior knowledge should not be limited to the students but 2 LINGUISTIC APPROACH teachers should utilize this concept for their own effective instruction.
If teachers have prior knowledge of the subparts of the English language, as well as knowledge of the diverse cultures he/she is instructing can help the teacher create and blend a comprehensive and student-inclusive lesson plan and curriculum. Prior knowledge influences how the teacher and students interact with the learning materials as both individuals and a group. (Kujawa and Huske, 1995) Prior knowledge assists in segue of appropriate instruction and retention, because it is a foundation from which to build from and facilitates the idea of making sense of the educational experience.
As the students are learning from the linguistic perspective, especially under syntax and semantics, students would be primed for grammatical instruction, also. As they learn how, where and when to use appropriate vocabulary, I will insert instruction on main grammatical principles and rules and branch off into further instruction where applicable.
I would try to make sound non-confusing connections with the native language grammatical principles, so there is a prior knowledge foundation established in that arena as well. I would also have a grammar day in the middle of the week to review prior concepts and morph new grammar lessons into the lesson plan and utilize formative assessment strategies to see what needs to be reviewed and further defined. 3 LINGUISTIC APPROACH References Kujawa, S. , & Huske, L.

For anyone wishing to try glamping in the treetops of Costa Rica, this house is both chic and eco-friendly and shares its lofty position with the neighboring parrots and monkeys. We love the unique interconnecting pod design, the beautiful teak and bamboo and the innovative and award-winning architecture that floats above the trees.
Set above the jungle canopy with sweeping 180 degree views of the mountains and the Pacific, this beautiful home is comprised of a trio of "pods" that form a modern and eco-friendly treetop habitat. Designed by Costa Rican architect Benjamin Garcia Saxe the home has been shortlisted for "House of the Year" by World Architecture News, awarded five Costa Rican Binneal awards and has been featured in Inhabitat, Dezeen, Design Boom, World Architecture News and Su Casa Magazine.
Uniquely designed in three independent sections connected by exterior walkways and bridges, the eco-concious construction was designed for minimal environmental impact utilizing sustainable teak wood, solar power and UV water systems. The large open plan living room includes a chefs kitchen and dining area and is ideally placed to capture the views with fold away concertina doors that create an indoor outdoor environment. The wood construction is sleek and modern but warm and inviting with interiors designed Dante Medri. A lengthy bamboo corridor leads to two upstairs bedrooms with awesome views of the shoreline with a third bedroom downstairs.
The pool is positioned below the house with perfect placement to enjoy the sunsets. Modern and innovative but with an earthy warmth that gently inhabits the jungle environment, this is a luxurious and unique escape.
A wonderful destination for glamping in Costa Rica.
Optional concierge services, private chef with grocery delivery, massage therapist, babysitter. Wifi throughout, housekeeping and laundry facilities. On site parking.
The house is just a five minute walk to Playa Hermosa and a ten minute trip to the charming town of Santa Teresa. The southern Nicoya Peninsula is a particularly blessed corner of Costa Rica. Due to its relative remoteness it has retained the vibrant beauty of nature unspoiled by over-development. With world class surf breaks and beaches, Santa Teresa is adjacent to Malpais and offers tranquility in a less densely populated area along a stretch of road with mostly private residences. Manzanillo Beach is to the north and nearby Playa Carmen to the south on the road to the beautiful and protected Cabo Blanco Reserve at the tip of the peninsula.
Malpais, Costa Rica. Nearest Airport: Tambor (35km)

F is for Familiar.
A familiar is a supernatural entity that first appeared in medieval folklore and more recently in pagan lore. It was thought to assist a witch or sorcerer. Familiars are frequently depicted as cats, especially black cats, with uncanny abilities to serve their chosen witch or warlock. In spite of their side-kick roles, these beings are not subservient and are rarely controlled by anyone.
For a list of some famous witch's cats in movies and literature, check out this link: http://bewitchingnames.blogspot.com/2012/05/name-round-up-famous-witchs-cats.html.

After Aristocrat Leisure completed its acquisition of Video Gaming Technologies (VGT) on 20 Oct 14, investors got their first glimpse of the combined group's performance with the release of its 2015 first-half results this week (the company has a September year end). Comparisons with 2014 are difficult due to VGT's inclusion (see Table 1) but based on the subsequent 6% increase in the company's share price, investors were suitably impressed.

Ulster ace Sharvin is setting his sights on Walker joy
Rising star Cormac Sharvin says he is ready for the best America can bring as Great Britain and Ireland aim to regain the Walker Cup at Royal Lytham this weekend.
Sharvin, from Ardglass, is in a rich vein of form - he won this year's Brabazon trophy, finished runner-up at the Irish Amateur Open, tied for second at the Lytham Trophy and clinched third at the Scottish Open Stroke Play Championships.
Sharvin said: "Everyone's looking forward to what will be a big challenge, but we'll embrace that challenge.
"It will be my first experience of the Walker Cup and I'm really looking forward to getting out there, seeing the crowds and feeling the pressure.
"We're not really used to crowds on the amateur circuit - it only maybe happens for us once or twice a year - but it's something I really enjoy having.
"I didn't take up golf until I was 15 so to be sitting here on the eve of a championship like this… there aren't really words for it."
The British and Irish players are hoping that familiarity with links golf conditions will overcome the undoubted quality of the US tourists.
"I've played Lytham quite a few times," added Sharvin. "I've played the Lytham Trophy the last three years - so I know it quite well, but it plays different at this time of year than in May.
"I've also played Formby around here, this will be my first time at Birkdale, and hopefully our familiarity with links courses will help, but you also have to remember the quality of the US players - I think eight of their players are in the top 20 in the world and you have to respect that."
Sharvin's team-mate Gavin Moynihan believes home advantage will indeed be "huge" in the battle with America.
The USA have won 35, lost eight and halved one of the previous 44 biennial contests between the top amateur players from either side of the Atlantic, although their advantage is only 7-6 since 1989.
Great Britain and Ireland have also won four of the last five contests on home soil and Moynihan, one of a record five Irish players on the 10-man team, believes the fast, dry conditions will again benefit Nigel Edwards' young side.
"Home advantage is huge this week because the Americans have never seen Lytham like this ever," said the 20-year-old Irishman, who is the sole survivor from the side beaten 17-9 at National Golf Links in 2013.
"It was very firm at National, but it's a different level since we got here on Monday. It was green on Monday and now it's bronzy.
"You see the 18th, once you hit the fairway it's gone. I think that's a huge thing for us as we play in it a lot.
"A lot of tournaments over here are won with two, three over par and Americans are used to shooting four, five, six under. I think that type of golf suits us and we are in a better mindset."
Edwards, who is the first person in the modern era to serve as captain three times, revealed his side had received hundreds of good-luck messages, including letters from the likes of Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Padraig Harrington and Darren Clarke.
The 47-year-old Welshman also brought in former Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley to talk to his players this week, while opposite number John Miller has learnt lessons from the United States' defeat at Gleneagles.
Miller said: "I would say that my overall takeaway was that I wanted to make this competition more fun.
"I want each player to vest in the process. Each one of them has as much input as I have. Yes, there will be a hard decision or two to make, and I'll make it, but they are the ones that are doing the playing, and I'm listening."

On March 4, 1995, in his final game against Illinois, East St. Louis product, Purdue forward, and future Missouri head coach Cuonzo Martin scored 29 points on 9-for-14 shooting in a 69-56 win in Champaign. He made an uncharacteristic five 3-pointers, plus all six of his free throws, in a win that helped move Gene Keady's Boilermakers further toward an eventual Big Ten title, their second straight.
This was only the second time in six tries that Martin had beaten Illinois on the court, but it was the third time that Purdue had defeated the Illini when Martin was involved. The first win took place in April 1990, and of all people, Bruce Pearl — Martin's eventual predecessor as head coach at Tennessee — was significantly involved.
The saga began in the spring of 1989, as a blue-chipper named Deon Thomas was getting ready to choose Illinois over Iowa. Pearl, an Iowa assistant, recorded a phone call in which Thomas claimed the Fighting Illini staff was offering him illegal benefits.
THE CASE HAS ALL THE ELEMENTS OF AN ESPIONAGE NOVEL: international intrigue, a secret tape recording and physical reprisal, with college athletics' version of the firing squad looming at the end. It involves the Big Ten's season-long cold war between Illinois and Iowa over the recruitment of Deon Thomas, a talented 6'9″ power forward from Chicago's Simeon High. Thomas signed with Illinois last April, but he hasn't played a game for the Illini, who have kept him out of action until the NCAA can decipher the whole imbroglio.
The NCAA is expected any day now to charge that the Illini offered Thomas $80,000 and a Chevrolet Blazer to play for them. In addition, Notre Dame sophomore forward LaPhonso Ellis reportedly told NCAA investigators that two years ago he was offered $85,000 and an automobile by Illinois, with the cash to be disbursed in installments—similar to the way Thomas allegedly was to be paid. The NCAA has a tape recording, made by Iowa assistant Bruce Pearl, of a…

Check with the mechanical engineering department for course registration deadlines, and sound engineering program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Pasco Hernando Community College.
Mechanical engineering degrees typically take four to five years to complete, and result in a Bachelor of Engineering (BEng), Bachelor of Science (BSc or BS), or Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (BME). In the US, most undergraduate mechanical engineering programs are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Mechanical engineering programs include courses on composites, thermodynamics, engine design, fluid dynamics, control theory, robotics, and computer-aided design (CAD). In addition to the core mechanical engineering curriculum, many mechanical engineering programs offer more specialized programs and classes, such as control systems, fuel cell technology, and biomechanics.
Many mechanical engineering companies have begun to incorporate computer-aided engineering (CAE) programs into their existing processes, including 2D and 3D solid modeling computer-aided design (CAD), enabling faster and more exhaustive visualization of products. Other CAE programs commonly used by mechanical engineers include product lifecycle management (PLM), and analysis tools such as finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). Further, automation in the form of industrial robots allow businesses to save money on manufacturing costs, and ensure precision quality control. The median annual income of mechanical engineers in the US workforce was $80,580, highest when working for the government ($92,030), and lowest in education ($57,090). Beyond major requirements within the mechanical engineering department, you may consider Columbia International University math test as an adjunct to your primary course of study.

text: I think you may have a problem in that while there is a set of specifications which must be met (CubeSat Developer Documents<http://cubesat.atl.calpoly.edu/pages/documents/developers.php>), developers are free to design their structures in any way which meets these. This leads to a large variety of designs (stackable boards, motherboard/daughterboard, or any combination of internal assembly), and therefore fitting your transponder into one of these designs would in no case guarantee it would fit in any other. Perhaps you should consider contacting Andrew Kalman with Pumpkin, inc.<http://www.cubesatkit.com/>about getting your design incorporated into the CubeSat Kit. To date, there are only three cubesats in space which use the structure, but it's probably the closest to a "standardized" design.
