I had something like this in arena tonight, cost me a Rey mirror battle. Opponent Rey went into ultimate, I went into ultimate. When opponent came out of ultimate (first) she didn't animate properly - did a little hop forward, then back, without her full animation.. She stayed in ultimate stance, and I could not damage opponent toons.
Playing on an iPad with all current system updates.
Just happened to me in GAC. Cost me the match. Here is the video after the glitch begins. You can see the animations glitched and LS allies become invincible for multiple turns.
met this very often. sometimes when rey's ult ends, she uses basic instead and protection of her ult remains for another 1 or 2 turns. and then sometimes the damageof her ult will suddenly comes out even in my ppl's turn, and also sometimes she won't deal any damage and ult ends.
Happened in GAC. Almost cost me the match, as I won by 1 lol. The 2nd time the opponent's Rey used her ultimate, she never lost the 1 damage part. Also, it was extremely laggy during both of our Reys animations.
i ve still got this problem .... no solution......every day it happends at least 2 times.....
Still no fix. Good work..

Keeps happening to me as well.. this bugg is known for months now and they don't do anything about it... All they did in the meantime is give kylo an upgrade.. This stupid bugg is costing me crystals and Cg don't do * about it.
This is happening to me repeatedly. Three times today trying to climb in Arena and it's costing me matches and crystals and it happened yesterday in TW.

Life has been good recently (to catch a glimpse of what I mean specifically, check out my last post!). There is truly little I can complain about: I am blessed by a loving husband who is kind and gentle and enjoys me (and I him!); my in-laws are wonderful (we had a great meal and catch up with them yesterday!); my parents and brother are fun and God-honoring and we have a great relationship. There's a roof over my head and food in my fridge and I have a great job that I enjoy.
So why do I feel a bit down these days? A bit like complaining and, frankly, having a bit of a pity party? Of course we all have days like this (the now-popular phrase and hashtag "#FirstWorldProblems" comes to mind) and it's okay to be down and recognize what your problems are in the moment – it's all relative. BUT…it's not a place I can stay. In fact, life gets worse and I get more bitter if I stay focused on the stuff that gets me down, however relevant it might be. More than that, it was a bad decision to memorize Philippians 2:14: "Do everything without grumbling or complaining…" Really? 😉 It's always in my mind! But I wanted to share a few things that have been putting me off and that require me to take action and make some change:
– Time with God. As per my 2013 goals, I've been more committed to spending time with God – not because I "should" or "have to" but in order to know him deeper. I think I've slipped into the realm of reading his Word and even journaling without remembering to seek his face for the sake of knowing Jesus better. I want to go in, dig deep and focus on our relationship, not just read a few chapters and call it a day. And it changes my day and view and attitude immensely when I do and don't take time for him (*note to self*).
– My eating. It's controlling me, not the other way around! I reposted this photo on my Facebook page and have been enjoying the discussion it's prompted so far:
Lots of good thoughts over there and the discussion goes deeper and in different directions than what you might first think! But overall, I just don't feel like I've been a good example of this recently. Sure, I eat healthy foods. And yes, I also eat unhealthy ones. But I think more than that I just haven't been super balanced recently – just eating lots of everything and not controlling myself much. You know I'm not one for restriction but I don't feel good when I let myself go too much. Still trying to see that change in my body (those 5-7 lbs I've referenced that I gained and cannot get off!) – but that won't happen unless I treat my body well!
– My lack of plans/outings. Mikey's going strong in school and needs time to study and get caught up on his regular work and Survive & Thrive details, which is fine except that I'm not the best planner when left to my own devices! I need to make plans, to get out and do things, to not let his weekend at home make me stuck at home (although I do love creating a supportive atmosphere at home for him to study!).
However, there are some victories in the midst of my struggles too…
– I'm realizing that I am a work in progress and am more or less celebrating my body. I have my days, sure, but at the same time I am learning to celebrate being me and being fit, capable and healthy. There are also days I realize that all this doesn't matter in the long run – at least it's not the bottom line. And sometimes those thoughts and time spent worrying about my body and health just are not worth the rest of life – people, work, life events, God!
– I am loved by a God who reaches out toward us on the idea of grace and forgiveness – so I can get back up again after a bad few days of eating or some negative self talk (working on it!) for bigger reasons than because "I'm worth it" or "My body deserves it" or "[insert fitness slogan on Pinterest here]" but because I am loved by God. Those are all good reasons, but knowing that I am sought after by God, that I am fueled by his love and that my life has been redeemed and repurposed gives me energy and life! And it needs to be a daily reminder for me to act upon it.
– I improved my pull ups! I LOVED working on this skill for the last 30+ days after finding this pull up program from a FitFluential friend Amanda who completed the program (her results were awesome! – and much cleaner than my pull ups). So, after sticking with it consistently and enjoying every minute, want to see how I did?! I started doing about 3-4 before I dropped, and yesterday I did:
Wahoo! …now that's something to celebrate. 😉
Do you ever get stuck in a rut in your food, your thinking, your relationships with God and others? How do you get out of it? Do you resonate with any of these struggles? And share some victories with me!
Thanks for being a good sounding board to me! I appreciate you guys and my blog being a place where I can be honest and chat about the good, bad and the ugly (pull up form). 😉 Live well & be well!

Where I've been
I vanished from these pages for four days, for which I apologize. By way of explanation, this past Saturday was my daughter's wedding, an event that consumed a lot of my time and even more of my heart and mind.
Over the next few days, I'll catch up with posts about the rehearsal dinner, the wedding, and other topics you might find interesting.
For now, I'm still wiped out, so I'm going to try to get a bit more sleep than usual tonight.
See you tomorrow.

To achieve such quality, while still delivering class-leading power, means optimising each section of the amplifier for its task, just as would be done in a design using a separate preamplifier and monobloc power amps. Commonly, amplifiers use a single transformer, with separate power supply regulation for the preamplifier and power amplifier sections; the PM-10 takes things much further.A dual-mono design, it has separate power supplies for the preamplifier and each of the power amplifier channels, with one transformer dedicated to the preamp to ensure the delicate signals passing through that section of the amplifier aren't affected by the demands of the high power output stages. There's also a dedicated supply for the microprocessor controlling volume adjustment, input selection and so on, ensuring no noise from the control section finds its way in to the audio path.
Another important part of the noise-reduction here is the fact that the PM-10 is a purely analogue amplifier: many rival designs are today including digital-to-analogue conversion, or adopting digital amplification and volume control, but the Marantz keeps things as clean and simple as possible with its highly-developed all-analogue design. Why? Well, though it may seem convenient to have a DAC in the amplifier, digital circuitry is, by its very nature, noisy (in the electrical sense) and can interfere with the delicate analogue signals passing through the amp. That's why Marantz chooses to design its Premium Series range with any digital-to-analogue conversion in its Super Audio CD or network music players, keeping its amplifiers as pure and clean as possible. What's more, to make the most of that purity of design, the PM-10 has also been designed with the option of working in 'Purest Mode': when engaged, this deactivates any superfluous circuits, giving the signal the cleanest possible path through the amplifier. There's also a Power Amp Direct input, taking the signal straight from the input section to the power stage to let the unit work as a pure power amplifier.
The benefits of balanced audio layout have long been understood: unlike a conventional layout, one half of the signal path is in the ground plane of either an amplifier or a cable, balanced working uses two conductors or paths – one for positive, the other for negative – and an entirely separate ground to protect them. The benefit in cables is that any external interference will affect both positive and negative conductors, but since the signals they are carrying are the mirror image of each other, they will mutually cancel out any effect – which is why such cables are widely used in pro audio and studio applications, where sources of hum are common, and the longer cable runs involved makes them particularly prone to picking up interference. The same is true when balanced working is applied to audio circuitry: not only does this mirror-imaging of the layout, in which identical components are handling the positive and negative 'legs' of the signal, cancel out any potential interference, it also means any noise or errors introduced in the circuitry will also be cancelled out. An additional benefit is that balanced working also uses stronger signals than unbalanced designs, simple because both halves of the circuit are active – rather than just having one half pushing and the other just providing the ground, here we have a 'push pull' operation. And a stronger signal means one less susceptible to any outside interference: the more signal there is, the less obvious any noise will be.
Like the partnering SA-10 Super Audio CD/CD player/DAC, the PM-10 is constructed to the highest possible standards, with a double-layered copper-plated chassis for excellent rejection of mechanical and electrical interference, and casework constructed from thick, heavy, non-magnetic aluminium panels.<

- Pears 3
- Lemon juice 1 tbsp
- Mixed baby salad 1 bag
- Roquefort cheese 150 g
- Honey and mustard vinaigrette
- Extra virgin olive oil 1/4 cup
- Vinegar 4 tbsps
- Grain mustard 2 tbsps
- Honey 2 tbsps
- Salt • 1 kcal
- Apple cider vinegar 1 tbsp
This is a salad for a special occasion. With walnuts, blue cheese and olive oil it is not exactly light, but of course it is a complete dish, healthy, quick to make, and very tasty. With an original and colorful presentation, it is ideal if you have guests, and besides, like any other salad, it admits all kinds of variations in quantities and ingredients.
This salad considers very well two important aspects: the nutritional composition (protein, healthy fats, vegetables) and the composition of flavors and textures (something crispy, something creamy and a dressing that adds flavor).
It has many variables, there are people who prepare the roasted pears, in our case we will use them raw. Also varies the cheese to choose, apple cider vinegar can be replaced by balsamic vinegar.
With the salads the options are endless. This particular one is a salad with some very interesting flavors and that you can prepare it in less than 5 minutes.
For this salad it is essential to choose good pears. The pears must be firm but not hard. The pears begin to ripen at the end of the stem, we must choose the pears that begin to soften in this part. To know if the pear is already mature or almost ripe, you should make a slight pressure with your finger and it should yield. If you buy the pears a few days before making the salad, you can keep them in the fridge to prevent them from maturing.
We will start washing the pears very well. Cut them in eighths and remove the seeds. Sprinkle the pears with lemon juice Sprinkle the pears with lemon to prevent them from turning brown. Season with salt and pepper.
Wash the salad with vinegar, rinse well and drain off the excess water. Place it in a bowl, add the pears and blue cheese, previously cut into bite-size pieces.
Sprinkle over with chopped nuts.
The vinaigrette
Mix honey, mustard and vinegar. Add the oil little by little by mounting it with rods. Season with salt and pepper. Season the salad and serve it.

NEW YORK: CNBC veteran Jeffrey Pohlman has joined FleishmanHillard's New York office as an SVP in the firm's reputation management practice.
Pohlman started in the role on January 20 and reports to Betsy Neville, head of Fleishman's reputation management practice for the Americas. He was not able to confirm if the position was newly created.
He will be aiding clients with crisis management, thought leadership, and media placements. In addition, Pohlman is tasked with formulating corporate narratives and positioning strategies.
"Let's say a new CEO comes into a company, or a CMO wants to figure out the best way to reposition the company, I will be able to lend my two decades of storytelling experience to helping them do that," he explained.
Before joining Fleishman, Pohlman served at CNBC for 13 years as a senior producer. He managed the investigative unit, which produced the company's first digital documentaries, including three in 2013 under his leadership.
The senior producer position is still open at CNBC, said Pohlman.
"[Pohlman] was a great asset to CNBC in his many years here and we wish him much future success," said his former boss Nikhil Deogun, SVP and editor-in-chief at CNBC Business News.
Earlier in his career, Pohlman was a producer at CNN, and he also spent seven years at NBC as an associate producer.
Pohlman has won numerous industry accolades, including the 2015 Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Television Political Journalism.

My 5 Takeaways from Cannes Lions 2019
Whether you were there or not, we can all learn something from this year's festival of creativity.
1. A lot of the best never reaches the rest
This was my first time at Cannes Lions, which is interesting because I spent seven years as an advertising copywriter, and yet didn't come to the industry festival until I'd left to become a journalist. Visiting for the first time this year really brought home to me the fact that people outside the comms industry very rarely see the best it has to offer.
Back when I was in agencyland, I used to see all the best brand communications, because naturally people in the industry talked about them and sent them to each other. But having been out of the loop for a while, I realised why the person on the street thinks ads are terrible — because a lot of the amazing stuff that wins awards just never crosses their radar.
Obviously, sometimes this is because the best work can be risky and it's therefore kept to a small, receptive audience (like judging panels). But often I think it's because the industry is such a bubble that it's easy to forget that amazing piece of work "everyone's talking about" is actually being talked about by everyone in agencies. And therefore the people behind it don't share it and shout about it like they otherwise might — because the people they talk to every day in the office kitchen have seen it ten times.
2. ...but it bloody well should
One of the most life-changing experiences I had at Cannes was sitting on a yacht watching the entries from this year's Athena Film Festival at an event run by the amazing 3 Percent Movement (because only 3% of Creative Directors were women when the organisation started).
The entries were ads and short films either made by women themselves or that portrayed them in a realistic, unstereotyped, progressive way. We saw a lot of incredible work in this session, but my favourite was an advert for UPS about a little girl who wants to be a pilot. It brought me to the edge of tears.
I never saw this video when it came out, but I'm going to share the hell out of it now. I hope some more of this kind of stuff breaks through the industry barrier, because real people deserve to see this kind of inspiring storytelling instead of another ad where a man fails at doing housework.
3. Women are the future
Of course, I knew this already, but there's nothing like seeing insanely accomplished women talking about their work to recharge the activist batteries.
At Cannes, I visited the Female Quotient lounge where women from companies like Amazon, Google and pretty much every agency network participated in panels, gave advice and just chatted to each other over iced coffee (and an unbelievable view).
Not only were the panels inspiring as hell (I particularly loved the one on 'storytelling with heart' and the concept of a 'return on equality'), there was the chance to get a professional headshot taken for free, a load of amazing merch that benefits the cause and some fun toys including this one that I think should be in all offices by law:
I was also lucky enough to attend a dinner of women who get stuff done with my idol Cindy Gallop, where I heard about Christelle Delarue's Les Lionnes campaign to call out sexism in French ad agencies [article in French]. I came away even more fired up to fight for fairness and equality — something that has a long way to go in my industry of tech journalism, too.
4. Separating the real from the fake is harder than ever
The big reason I was at Cannes with WE was to run our gameshow about disinformation, called News Makers or News Fakers. We asked our three contestants — all communications students and digital natives — about some viral creative campaigns from this year. All they had to do was tell us which were real and which were fake, but as we suspected, neither them nor the audience could judge with confidence.
That's not a failing of theirs whatsoever — it's proof of just how difficult it's become to separate fake news from real news. Especially now that some of the real news is getting so bizarre, it sounds like satire.
We had a great time playing the game and I think we all learnt something, but the key message is really serious. Brand communicators want to put ethical, positive messages into the world — but to do that, we have to help consumers learn what they can and can't trust.
If you're wondering what our examples were, my favourite was definitely this pop-up poo museum in Japan, which turned out to be absolutely real.
5. A great CEO leads with purpose, even when no one's watching
On the topic of our gameshow, I witnessed something that really inspired me after the show finished from WE CEO Melissa Waggener Zorkin.
Our three contestants had each picked a charity to play for, and the big reveal at the end was that not only were WE doubling the winner's donation, but the other two players' charities would each receive $1000 too. This unsurprisingly went down well with the audience and everyone was happy as we came off stage.
Then, Melissa approached the students — in a quiet area at the side of the stage away from the microphones — and after warmly congratulating them on their performance, said "I want to double all of your charity donations."
It wasn't part of the show, there were no cameras (except my smartphone which I used to sneakily get the shot above) — it was clear it was just something Melissa believed in and wanted to do. At a festival famous for back-slapping and self-congratulation, it was refreshing to see a CEO take positive action just because that's who she is.

Mina -- spinach pie -- is a Sephardi Jewish dish that is a Passover favorite.
I've adapted a traditional mina recipe with healthy ingredients that are all plant based.
This layered mina combines savory mashed potatoes with sautéed zucchini and kale for a satisfying Pesach dish.
This dish is the size of one matzo sheet. If you're planning on serving this dish to four people or less, make one.
For more than four people, make two separate minas. To keep it pretty (and for serving ease), make them separately in two baking dishes.
Yield: Serves 4
4-quart saucepan
Large skillet
8" x 8" baking dish
6 medium size red skinned potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
Cold water
Sea salt
¼ cup vegetable broth (or water)
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced (increase amount if desired)
1 large zucchini, sliced into half moons
6 large kale (or spinach) leaves, torn into bite-sized pieces
4 whole grain matzo sheets
3 ripe tomatoes
Parsley sprigs for garnish
In a 4-quart saucepan:
Place the potatoes and cover with cold water
Add 1 teaspoon of sea salt
Bring to boil over medium high heat, and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender
Mash, adding enough vegetable broth to achieve a smooth consistency (somewhere between mashed potato and pureed potatoes)
Season with additional sea salt add black pepper, to taste
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
In a large skillet:
Heat vegetable broth (or water) over medium high heat.
Add the garlic and stir for 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the zucchini and kale leaves and a few pinches of sea salt.
Cook covered until the vegetables are tender, adding a little extra vegetable broth if needed to prevent sticking
To prepare the matzos sheets:
Soak them in a bowl of vegetable broth just long enough that they begin to soften (paying attention that the matzo does not get soggy)
Lightly oil the baking dish
Place a layer of matzo on the bottom
Spread evenly with about 1 ½ cups of the potato mixture and half of the zucchini mixture
Top with another matzo layer
Repeat layering using all 4 matzos and potato mixture
Cover the top matzo with thinly sliced tomatoes
Bake for 30 minutes
To serve:
Cool for 15 minutes before cutting and serving
Garnish with parsley
*Pesach traditions vary widely, and some foods are eaten only in some communities on the holiday. This menu assumes the broadest definition of Kosher for Passover ingredients.

Yoram Yasur: Best destinations for bachelor parties
A bachelor party can become the perfect excuse for a getaway between friends, enjoying unbridled holidays, group excursions or shopping days. Each group of friends can design the perfect farewell for that future husband or wife, and we propose you these 5 best destinations for bachelor parties in order to give you some interesting idea.
– Ibiza
Yoram Yasur: If the wedding is celebrated in warm months and you also live in the Mediterranean, nothing better than approaching the island of Ibiza to move the skeleton in Amnesia or Pacha, getting lost among turquoise beaches, reliving some of the hippy spirit of the sixties or enjoying the sunsets of Café del Mar among friends. Maybe too tempting.
Yoram Yasur: The southernmost point of Baja California is the particular mecca for bachelor parties, as was the case with the famous Justin Timberlake. This destination located between heavenly beaches and iconic cliffs offers a roster of clubs such as Mandala or Pink Kitty, the beach bars of Medano Beach and even surf classes for those who are not hangovers.
– Las Vegas
Before the movie The Hangover confirmed Las Vegas as a universal destination for singles, the City of Sin was already one of the epicenters of this type of party. Turkish Hammam in Palms Place, golf championships in Aliante Golf Club, a supersonic race in Exotic Racings, veal beef with bourguignon in "Paris", pool party in Wet Republic or club night in Spearmint Rhino, among many other clubs. P.D.: Tigers are not allowed in the suites.
– Amsterdam
Yoram Yasur: In the capital of Holland, we can design our own bachelor party from its many offers: a stay between laughs and fleas in Hans Brinker, an excursion to the Heineken factory (with a walk between the channels included), required stays in any coffee shop (not far from the hotel, just in case) or a night of deep soul at Club Up. Red Quarter? From the other side of the glass.
– Barcelona
This city in Spain breathes a cosmopolitan and European air in which the options unfold as much for them as they do. How about a day at Camp Nou watching your favorite soccer team? And some beers in The Black Sheep? Or maybe some clubbing along the Passeig Marítim of la Barceloneta? Barcelona is a city where the best shopping, the most dynamic clubs and several restaurants come together to satisfy all audiences.
These 5 destinations to celebrate a bachelor party meet the expectations of all good friends and that future husband or wife: good clubs, diversity of options, mostly beaches, golf courses, appropriate restaurants, endless clubs, and other alternatives whether you want a night of debauchery or a quiet stay with friends. After a great photo trip it is always good to have a very nice time for yourself and relax to feel the beauty of life !.

Festival de Mil Tambores. Valparaiso, Chile. Each year, Valparaiso, Chile serves as home to the Mil Tambores festival. This years weekend of celebration was dedicated to Chilean artistic creative genius, folklorist and popular singer Violeta Parra. For the long weekend we were staying in Viña del Mar, but thanks to the new found Chilean instincts of a friend of mine from DU and her Chilean host mamá, we hopped on a micro and made our way to Cerro Mariposa, one of the many hills of the port city of Valparaiso where the festival was supposedly being held. When we got off the bus at the top of the hill and followed the directions of a local to where the festival was supposedly taking place, the deserted soccer stadium didn't have me convinced this celebration was anything special. Thank goodness for the help of Gergana's host mom we asked for directions from a couple kiosko owners and then jumped in a collectivo (the Chilean version of a taxi, more or less) towards where the festival was actually being held. Heading down the hill and more towards the heart of the city, we began to hear music, and the streets slowly began to fill with life. The collectivo driver dropped us off at the bottom of the hill and directed us to 'keep walking that way.. follow the sound, and all of the people'. Still not exactly sure what to expect from the festival, we followed the masses of people – some costumed, some partly naked, and others completely there for the show like us, and hoped for the best. We rounded the corner of one of the streets closest to the ocean in the port city of Valparaiso and I fell in love. The street was FULL of people, full of energy, and full of life. As we walked along this street, alongside thousands of Chilean hippies, basically integrating ourselves into he rhythm of the parade (at one point I literally was wrapped in a boa and was dancing with a group of clowns), we got to hear the songs of the different groups of musicians and the dances of local dance troupes. Chilean passion and liveliness was overflowing onto the street, to say the least. About an hour later, my body having integrated into the rhythm of few dozen costumed groups, musical performers, clowns and most importantly fantastic drum lines, I realized there could be no better name for this festival as Mil Tambores translates literally to 'A thousand drums'. The costumes, the bright colors, and the wonderful music was the perfect combination and a wonderful glimpe into Chilean culture.

Quiver Your Timbers By: Ross McKay
Quiver Your Timbers
By: Ross McKay
Bow And Arrow Magazine March – April 1968
It seems as if it doesn't matter how many arrows you carry, sometimes there never are enough to make that killing hit on game. All it takes is one arrow, well placed and with the right penetration to bag the game, be it squirrel, cow or elk.
The different types of game offer different terrain for hunting and the requirements on the hunter and his equipment vary too. When out for a deer or other big game, you may not carry more than five arrows. The popular bow quivers are made to carry from five to eight arrows.
The pesky ground squirrels, gophers and ground-hogs are different. There are many more of them in the field and usually you throw more arrows at them than at big game animals. One shot at a deer and it usually is gone unless you are one of the fortunate few who have had them stand around waiting for the next shot.
One of the most popular quivers, one that will work very well regardless of the game hunted, is the back quiver. The Indians used them and they lived by the bow. The back quiver can carry many arrows, depending on how big you make it, and it can be silenced to keep the rattle dow. Many archers never have used anything else.
There are many styles of back quivers on the market, both of leather and the solid frame styles. Each has a different advantage to the hunter but let's take a look at the old style, ever popular, leather back quiver. This is the type used by the Indians, made from the skins of the animals killed.
These differ from the modern quiver in one respect. They are made of soft leather. If you make a quiver from the last deer you killed or just go out and buy the leather on the market, you have to determine which tyoe, the soft or hard leather, you wish to make. The soft quiver is perhaps the fastest: It requires less leather and the top can be held open with a piece of coat hanger to keep the shafts available and aid in replaceing the shafts in the quiver when picked up. It has the advantage of holding the shafts together and therefore minimizing the noise they can make rattling together as you walk. A soft black quiver can be very silent.
One disadvantage of this style is that it holds a limited quantity of arrows and there is a problem on keeping the sharp broadheads from rattling togther and dulling themselves. Steel on steel is fine when it is a sharpening steel on a hroadhead but two sharp broadheads rubbing together. This can be overcome by putting a piece of balsa wood or sponge rubber in the bottom of the quiver and placing the head in it. This also requires removing the quiver from the back. A bit slow and often not too good in game country.
There are many styles of the popular center and side back quiver. Some have large capacity and others are smaller. Your choice depends upon your requirements. Making a back quiver is relitively easy or difficult, depending on what you need. First you must determine the type of quiver. Is it to be a large one for squirrels and rabbits or a smaller one? Let's make on of each.
First you will need a pattern. Tandy Leather Company in Texas has been in the leather business for many years and they have patterns for just about anything you can think of, including archery quivers. They have one pattern for a center back style that will hold many arrows and they have a kit that will make a small size shoulder or hip quiver. The quiver itself is the same but the straps are different, depending on the use. Some time ago I purchased a back quiver kit from a local store and promised the little woman I would carve a deer scene on it for her.
If you have never done leather carving, it is an experiance in itself. Two years later when I started getting material together to write the article the memory of the spouse revived and she mentioned that now would be an excellent time to make that quiver for her. After all, I had promised. True. What I had in mind was not to carve a quiver at all to put it together the fastest and easiest way. Impossible!!
Out came the tools and after several nights of banging with the hammer the carving was done. The next step would be to saddle stitch it, once again the fast and to me the best looking method. Oh no! It must be laxed with leather, after all, it had been promised. After several more hours of pulling leather through leather the quiver was finished. It isn't that much work if you enjoy the type of activity.
The patterns that come with the kit can be saved after the quiver has been completed and used for future quivers if you like the style. They lay the entire project out for you from beginning to end, step by step and furnish precut leather for the job.
You can bypass all the carving and merely put the kit together with saddle stitching or take it to the local shoe shop and have them stitch it together with their machine. Another alternate is to use rivets for putting it together. They can be purchased from Tandy and are very good since all that's required is a punch to make the hole and a hammer to pound the two pieces together. The finished quiver will hold a dozen shafts easily and has only one strap over the shoulder. Itis both simple and efficient: the cost is less than five dollars.
Now if you want a simple quiver, one that you can put together very quickly and one that will hold enough arrows for a day's shooting whether for varmints or big game, it is not hard to come up with a good design of your own. First determine what type you want, full center back or over the shoulder. I favor the over the shoulder style since I don't bend easily. If you are limber any style will work.
First make a pattern from heavy craft paper, show card, or butcher paper. You can cut this and then for it to see how the finished product will look. I you don't like it it is much easier to make a new one from paper than from leather; also much cheaper. If you want it simple you can cut a rectangle from your paper and form it to the quiver shape. This will hold many arrows, depending on how big you make it of course. You can go too big and defeat your purpose.
The one thing that will take a bit of extra effort is the base of the quiver. You can take a polythylene bottle, one with a shape that you like, and cut the bottomnfrom this and use it as the base of your quiver. It will stop the broadheads from going through and you can alwayd put a piece of carpet or wood in the bottom for softness and strength.
One system I use that works very well is to take a piece of scrap lumber and cut an oblong hole in it, the size you wish for the bottom of your quiver. Do this with a saber saw, coping saw or other type that will allow you to use the center plug that will be cut out. The size I use measures five and one half inches long and three inches wide. Cut it with ends rounded of course.
After the hole is cut and the plug or center piece is out, take a file and taper the side of the hole so it slants inward from one side. Sand it smooth and coat it with wax or paraffin. Take the center section and sand it down. I found that I had to sand mine down almost one half inch all around for the proper fit. It will vary as to the thickness of the leather used.
You don't know what you're doing? You are making a pattern that you can use for the base of your quiver. Take the center plug, after sanding, and cover it wit wax or paraffin. Now you have your base or bottom of your quiver, at least the form of it, and the pattern for the sides or main body of the quiver.
The main section of the quiver can vary in height, depending on the length of shafts you shoot. If you are a long draw archer you will make your quiver a bit longer. I made one that measured twenty-one inches long and it works quite well for me. The one I made for my wife illustrated here is nineteen inches in length. Make them long enough to cover at least two-thirds of the shafts used and maybe a little more since the broadhead will change the overall length of your shaft by two inches or more.
Now that you have your patttern cut for the body and base of the quiver, you are ready buy the leather. Most harness or saddle shops have leather they will will seel in small lots. I made a quiver from the belly leather that a saddle shop couldn't use. Such leather will vary in cost as to the quality and the quantity needed. Belly leather usually is cheap but you must look out for bad sections in it, especially in the flank areas.
Allow enough extra leather from the body section or buy an extra piece or two for making the straps. You will need a shoulder strap and at least one strap to come from the base of the quiver to meet the shoulder strap. I made mine with two straps, one from each side of the quiver to meet the shoulder strap in front, but this isn't necessar. Just allow enough good leather for strap material. You might even have the shop owner make the cuts you need if you like. They often will do it for a small charger. Either way, take the leather home and if you do the cutting, use a strap knife, and a straightedge, such as a ruler, to get a good straight line on your cut. Unless you are very steady, freehand cutting will give you wavy lines.
Take a piece of leather for the base; it should be about six by eight inches if you use the same board cuts I did and soak it in water for several hours. I prefer to have my base cut and formed before going ahead with the rest of the quiver. After the leather has soaked long enough it should be soggy and very pliable. Lay it over the hole cut in the board with the finish side of the leather facing you. Take the block that was cut from the center of the board and place this over the leather. Now take a wide headed mallet or hammer and pound the leather into the hole using the black to force it in. When it is even with the bottom of the board, place it in a corner to dry. When it dries it will be very stiff, just what you need for the base of your quiver. Remove it from the board form. I use the center section or block and cut right at the top of this with a sharp knife. When the excess leather is trimmed away you will have a cup or oval shaped piece of leather about one inch deep.
Take the base and the main section of leather and form the body of the quiver around the base. If you made the square or rectangle shape cut for the quiver the top will be as big as the bottom. If you want the top flared a bit more than the bottom merely cut one side on an angle. You can angle both sides if you like or just one. Now with the flared top, as illustrated, youcan allow about one half inch overlap on the leather for stitching. If you prefer to butt the leather and cross lace, that will work too.
We now have a flared top quiver wih the base formed. All that is left is to assemble the two parts and add the straps. If you like measurements, the top of the quiver measures eighteen inches ling, nineteen inches high, and the base is thirteen and seven-eighths or around it off the fourteen if you want. This is allowing about a half inch overlap for stitching.
Place the body of the quiver with the finished side out over the base and curl it around the base. If you like you can hold it with clamps while forming, When using the base leather have the cup part facing down. Take rubber cement and apply to the sides of the base and about one half inch on the bottom inside main section. Determine where the leather will overlap a punch a hole in the base at this point. If you have cut your body with one side straight, the line formed by the overlap will be on a diagonal down the back of the quiver. If you butted it, it will be down the center.
After punching the pilot hole, punch one side of the main body and hold it in place. Take the rest of the leather and work it around the bottom, holdng it snug against the base. The rubber cement will stick and help at this point. At intervals you can punch holes through both the body leather and the base. This will guarantee that the base and body will fit snug, When you arrive back at the pilot hole, punch a hole in the overlap section making it fit the base and first hole punched.
The hole punching is done very easily with a leather punch. If you don't have one and don't want to buy one, you can use an electric drill. The size hole will be determined by the type of fastening you plan to use. You can use the rivets made and sold by Tandy, pop rivets will work fine but would be rather costly, or regular copper harness rivets will do. If you have no rivets and want to vary the looks a bit, take some latigo leather shoe lacing and pull it through the holes and lace the entire quiver.
Overlap the center seam about one half inch and mark the punching at one inch intervals. Punch the outside first. The using these holes mark the punch position on the inner side. This will ame the holes match the lacing. Take about two feet of the latigo leather lacing and lace up the back of the quiver. You will have a tag left over that you can run inside.
The main part of the quiver now is finished. All that remains is to put a dividing strap on the top and the shoulder and base straps.
The dividing strap is placed either in the center of the quiver or run through in two places. It prevents the quiver from seperating when full and also helps to divide the safts. You can put field points in one section, blunts in another and broadheads in the third.
You can make the strap for this from the extra leather left from the main section or purchased for this reason. A piece one half inch wide and sixteen to eighteen inches long will do. Put this through the top in two places and either use a buckle to join in the front or rivet to hold it solid.
The shoulder strap should be made wide at the top where ot attaches to the quiver. This will make it ride easily on the shoulder. If you make it too marrow it will have a tendency to dig into the shoulder and become a nagging nuisance. Make it a tapered cut, three and one half inches at the top and tapering to an inch and one half at the bottom where it will be folded over once inch D ring. The length of the strap is nineteen inches with one inch folded over the ring and two inches inside the quiver where it is attached with rivets.
The strap for the bottom is made with a strap cutter or a straightedge. It should be three quarters of an inch wide and eighteen inches long. This is longer than needed but if you have the leather it is best to make straps long, it is easier when it comes to making adjustments. The end of the strap is riveted to the bottom of the quiver on the right side, in back naturally. It is attached just where the base starts to curve. Bring the other end up and now you will need a snap and buckle. I used a chap snap, again purchased with my leather, and a harness buckle. You may substitute a regular buckle if you like but the harness buckle makes a neat finished job, is easily adjusted and leaves nothing to snag on brush.
The quiver is finished! You can fill it with arrows and make the necessary adjustments as needed. The single strap method may not work for you. It won't for me so I brought another strap around from the left side of the quiver and about six inches from the bottom and again a snap that will fit into the D ring.
The quiver can carry up to thrity shafts if you want to jam them in that tight for really getting with the varmints. One problem I had with my back quiver was trying to go under trees and through brush. I always managed to snag the quiver on a limb and had to back up to untangle. Before I mastered the art of crawling through fences with m back quiver. I would always dump all or nearly all my shafts on the ground and curse as I had to stop and pick them up as squirrels watched. Now I can move through brush with little problem, I can go through fences too and the squirrels that were watching before are now running for cover.
One thing about the back quiver I favor, it carries a lot of bow ammo and when you get used to it you really can pepper a hillside with shafts in a hurry.
You may want to vary the style of the quiver, you can make it from deer skin, coyote or cat fur if you like.You can carve it, burn your brand or name on it because leather is very versatile material with which to work and all if requires is a sharp knife, a punch, and a pattern. Once you have the pattern for the type you like, file it away and if the one you make ever wears out or a friend wants one, you can bring it out for them to use or revise yourself.
Back quivers aren't quiet as a rule and they can dull a sharp broadhead but many archers have downed many game, animals, and varmints carrying them, not to mention their use before we ever started the sport.

22 February 2018: Inmarsat business aviation partner Satcom Direct (SD) is celebrating 10 years of partnership with Inmarsat as a provider of our SwiftBroadband service.
L to R – Rupert Pearce CEO, Inmarsat and David Greenhill, President, Satcom Direct
The milestone anniversary was announced to delegates attending the connectivity provider's annual Connecting with Customers (CwC) client and partner event in Austin, Texas, where Inmarsat CEO Rupert Pearce presented a framed version of the original license to one of SD's founders David Greenhill, as a mark of our long-standing partnership.
SD was confirmed as an aerospace distribution license partner for Inmarsat in 2008, enabling the business to resell our IP-based data service, SwiftBroadband, to the business aviation sector.
Since then, SD has maintained its position as Inmarsat's largest aeronautical service provider and has been recognised as a significant enabler for the growth of the SwiftBroadband service.
Moving forwards, SD will continue to support SwiftBroadband services for the international business aviation sector in addition to expanding its provision of our high-speed broadband Jet ConneX service.
Both SwiftBroadband and Jet ConneX systems are supported by the SD router family, which optimise in-flight connectivity efficiency, as well as delivering a growing portfolio of SD applications.
"Satcom Direct has been an Inmarsat partner for more than 20 years now and its continued support of our SwiftBroadband service over the past decade has directly influenced our success in this business, making the aero market one of our most successful divisions," said Rupert Pearce.
"We are always striving to improve the customer experience and improve our products but can only do that by building close relationships with our partners to identify and deliver exactly what the market needs."
"We are delighted to mark a decade of working with Inmarsat to provide high-speed data services to aviation," said David Greenhill.
"When we first received our license the concept of a digitised, connected, business aviation network was still very new. Today it is a fundamental part of aircraft operations and is a part of the business that we are committed to supporting, developing and evolving.
"Strong, long-term relationships with our partners are essential to our mutual success, but more importantly, enable us to provide our clients with the connectivity they expect. We look forward to our next decade supplying these services."

Our project is a wearable sculpture created for Peter, a part of the On Display performance, produced by Heidi Latsky Dance. The purpose is to create a visual representation of Peter's personality. It is a chest plate with attached scissor lifts and vines, reflecting what we discovered about Peter after talking to him.
Peter has Cerebral Palsy in his legs, and thus spends much of his time in his wheelchair. But through this, he still manages to rock climb and go outdoors, his passions. We wanted to take this and put it into a physical realization. We put the overlapping vines into the sculpture to stick with our theme, and in much the same vein we took a picture of leaves, turned up the contrast and used the lines to make the shape our chest plate. We wanted the vines to undulate in and out in a natural way. In order to achieve this, we made the lifts actuate at different times by using different lengths of string routed up and attached to a wristband. Nearly the entire project is is made from thin plywood, with a felt backing for the chest plate in terms of physical materials.

Alberta RCMP charged a man after he allegedly bear-sprayed an officer in the face this week, according to a news release issued Friday.
On May 18, police responded to a complaint of a suspicious man carrying bear repellent in the Ermineskin townsite.
A suspect matching the description ran away when officers approached him, RCMP said.
"The police pursued the male, who then discharged a large amount of bear repellent spray into the face of a police officer," RCMP said.
Police said the man fought them, "hitting and kicking additional officers who were able to arrest him following a struggle."
RCMP said EMS treated the officer on scene, adding that he had minor injuries.
Christopher Simon, 38, of Maskwacis, was charged with:
- assaulting a police officer with a weapon
- three counts of assaulting a police officer
- resisting police
- carrying a concealed weapon
- possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose
Simon is in custody and scheduled to appear in Wetaskiwin court on May 26.

Finally heard back from the 3rd landscape contractor on the list. He asked me to describe the yard... wanted to make sure it wasn't "tiny"... Suddenly I felt like I was being interviewed... I felt like I had to "pump up" my yard just so he'd come take a look! When asked if I knew the yard's "footage", I said I wasn't sure, but gave him the total lot size (1/4 acre) and assured him it wasn't a "postage stamp yard". When I mentioned the existing pool (and no, I said nothing about its sordid history), he said a pool might be a "complicating factor" and would have to call me back. Huh?!!! The other two companies I've talked to so far didn't seem to be intimidated by the pool. So, we'll see.
I guess it's a good sign for the local economy that some contractors can be so picky!
If I had to choose one contractor now, based on phone manners alone, I do have a favorite... Also happens to be the most booked-up. We'll see who ends up doing the job. And when.
Shouldn't I wait until fall, the ideal planting time, to be doing all this? Yes, but I'm eager to get going. Depending on how things go, we may be looking at a fall installation anyway... ;-)

"You have once again entered… The world of survival horror." – Resident Evil
If you've already read the previous, accompanying article to this one, welcome back. If not, let's catch you up to speed. Zombies are not alive, not dead, bloodthirsty creatures with severe anger issues. They look to tear down anyone in their path, accountability nowhere in sight. Some real-life humans could be, and probably have been, described as the walking dead; bloodthirsty creatures with severe anger issues who look to tear down anyone in their path, accountability nowhere in sight.
Zombieland follows the cowardly Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg), as he navigates his way through the United States of Zombieland. Flooded with ravenous, flesh-eating freaks, a few questionable survivors, and a ton of laughs in between, Columbus explains how he has survived this long on his own. He strictly follows the rules. His rules.
This rule lines up right behind Rule #1 from The Metaphors In 'Zombieland' [Part I]. To refresh your memory, Rule #1 is Cardio. Cardio wards off stress. Toxic people (zombies) cause stress. Ipso facto, keeping in shape is a great way to deter the stress caused by these types of people, or at least minimalize it. Limbering up is a precursor to cardio. Staying loose will help ensure you don't experience any strain while working out. Keeping limber and practicing cardio are both great on their own, but exponentially better together. This is the same in a metaphorical sense. As I said, keeping in shape is a great way to deal with stress. However, you don't want to turn into an uptight gym freak (that's the opposite of what we're going for here). Not to mention, you can't necessarily run to the gym every time some toxic douche bag decides they want to take you down a notch. So, aside from stretching, a great practice is limbering up your mind. Practice meditation, yoga, breathing exercises- whatever keeps you even-tempered and ready to be your best self. When you combine mindful practices with exercise, dealing with stressful people becomes easy. You'll likely start to pity them. You have to keep in mind people aren't just born assholes. Perceptions and personal circumstances have a lot to do with why people are the way they are. But at the end of the day, we all have a choice. Limber up before you make yours.
This one is simple enough. While Columbus is checking for backdoors, you should be checking your instinct. Whether it be at work, home, class, whatever, If you're regularly in situations where you have to deal with toxic people, but you can avoid them, check your gut instinct. If you're doubtful that the potential experience you're about to have is going to be a positive one, what's the point of being there? As the famous author of 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' says, "If it ain't fun, don't do it."I think the biggest, or maybe easiest, targets for toxic people to hit are people pleasers. If you're reading this, and you're a people pleaser, I'm telling you straight up, you're allowed to say no. You're allowed to cancel plans you've made. You're allowed to ignore your phone. You're allowed to decline doing things without giving a reason, especially if those things entail a bunch of stress, sans fun. You are in control of your own life. Remember that and live by it. And for those situations you can't avoid, know your way out. Compromise. If it's work, interact with the person(s) as little as acceptably possible. If it's social, make an appearance, stay an hour or two, and leave. It's your life. Make it a good one.

Thanksgiving is all about tradition: watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, a Turkey Bowl football game and — most importantly — the food. We've put some interesting twists on some very traditional Thanksgiving side dishes.
Orange-spiced sweet potato bread
by Sarah Steimer
- 2 pounds of sweet potato (about two large potatoes) OR two 15-ounce cans sweet potatoes, drained
- 2 cups sugar
- 2/3 cup vegetable or canola oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2/3 cups pecans, coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon of orange zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh-squeezed orange juice
Mash sweet potatoes until smooth with a mixer. Add the sugar and oil and mix to combine. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on low speed, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth (this will make about 2 cups). Add the sugar and oil, and mix to combine. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Pour the batter into four buttered and floured mini loaf pans. You can also use larger loaf pans, a bunt cake pan or any other that suits your fancy. Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Makes four mini loaves or one bundt cake.

Occupy Education focuses on the relevant, cool part of learning, rather than the mundane rote learning and memorization techniques we're taught in school. However, how can you know whether an Occupy Education is for you?
Answer the following questions to find out!
Attention Span Questions
1. Do you easily "zone out" when trying to focus on tasks for extended periods of time?
2. Do you get distracted easily (by background noise, other people's conversations, etc.)?
3. Are you often late for work, school, or appointments?
4. Do you jump from task to task because you can't seem to focus long enough to finish one completely?
5. Do you have "issues" dealing with boring, repetitive tasks?
6. When on the phone with a friend just as your favorite TV show starts, do you find it difficult to pay attention to the conversation?
7. Do you find yourself re-reading the same paragraph or skipping ahead when reading a book or magazine?
8. Do you have a knack for noticing details (typos in a document)?
9. Do you lose your patience easily?
10. Do you interrupt people during conversations?
If you answered "Yes" to more than 5 of the above questions, an alternate, non-traditional, Occupy Education may be for you.
We don't all learn in the same way...
Enjoy the educational pics!

Email marketing is one of the best strategies businesses can apply nowadays. When done well, it works and it can bring in more traffic and conversions to one's company. That is why many experts highly recommend newsletters.
But for you to get the most out of your email marketing campaigns, understanding the psychology behind it is of utmost importance. Besides that, you also need to know how you can write emails that can bring in results.
In this article, we'll take a look at some of the best basic and advanced tips so you can create a winning newsletter that generates results.
The Fundamentals to Write an Excellent Newsletter
The following are the fundamentals you need to be aware of to create an excellent newsletter.
1. Your Emails Should Be Something People Would Want to Read
Your readers don't care much about your problems or the negative things that you're experiencing in life right now. Most of them approach your email with the mindset of how you can help them with their pain points. This predicament is simply how human psychology works.
Besides that, no one wants to read a boring email newsletter so try to make it fun and engaging to read in the first place. Try to write the way you talk and make it feel conversational. This is a simple way to inject some personality into your newsletter.
2. Address Your Open Rates
You've won half the battle already the moment you get people to open up your messages. Open rate is so elusive that you can only expect one-fifth of your subscribers to be interested in opening your emails.
Although this isn't such good news, there are ways you can significantly improve this area. You can:
- Make excellent subject lines
- Develop trust with your readers to let them know that your emails are worth their time
- Leverage your name in the "From" section rather than just use a brand name
In other words, an audience that trusts you as a person or brand has a better chance of opening your messages. Even if they don't know you yet but they find your subject line interesting, this can also lead to better open rates. Having both at the same time would be the best outcome.
3. Deliver Consistently
You might think this is obvious but you don't want to send emails that will annoy your readers, but you don't want to be inconsistent as well. Consider a schedule that best fits your brand and stick with that (within a reasonable limit). Avoid sending two to three emails this week and then none on the next.
You can have it once a week, biweekly or even once a month. The point here is that you remain constant but not too much or you'll overwhelm your subscribers.
4. User Headers and Subheaders
There's no doubt that a newsletter should have a header. This portion of your content is equivalent to a newspaper or magazine's name and it sits at the top showcasing your title, company name and logo. Subheaders are also crucial as they break up different pieces of your content to make it easier to digest.
You can use tools like Pixlr or Stencil to help you create headers even if you don't have any graphic design experience.
What To Write For Your First Email Newsletter
Having gotten the basics down, it's time to begin writing your newsletter. Here are the steps you can take to get started.
1. Determining What to Share
The first thing that you should do is to decide what you want to share with your readers. Several good ideas include:
- Brand new content that you've made such as infographics, videos or blog posts
- The projects that you're currently working on
- Content from others that you find are relevant to your readers
- New products or services that you plan to launch
- Promos and discounts, but only use these sparingly
- Small blog posts or emails that are made well enough to be considered a blog post
After deciding on the things that you wish to share, the next step is to start drafting your newsletter.
2. Make Your Draft As If You're Writing to a Single Individual
As you prepare your emails, always make them like you're writing to a specific person only. You can think of this as a persona of your ideal subscriber or someone you know well.
Whichever you go for, make sure your messages have that personal touch. This makes your emails more interesting to your audience rather than addressing them as a group.
3. Evaluate Your Draft
Once you're done with the draft, the next step is to analyse it by proofreading the content you've included. Be sure that the message is interesting to your readers, the sentences are all aligned with the topic, and there aren't any grammatical or spelling errors.
Read the email out loud so you can get a feel of how it sounds. Doing so also makes it easier to identify any typos or misspellings while ensuring that your tone remains conversational.
You can also copy and paste your email text into programs such as Grammarly to have these software apps double-check for mistakes. Another tip is to have someone else read your email so you can further refine it if needed.
4. Send the Email Out to a Portion of Your Audience First
Before sending out your newsletter to everyone on your list, try and deliver the draft to only a small portion first. This chunk can be around 10 to 15% of your audience. In this way, you can get an idea of the type of open rates you'll have while making sure that everything is in order.
5. When Everything's Set, Start Sending to Everyone
Lastly and once all things seem right, it's time to start sending your email to everyone in your list. You should start seeing results come in by the next day or so, which will give you a general direction of how your newsletter is faring.
Congratulations! You've just prepared and sent out a newsletter. By following the tips that we've provided, you have a better chance of finding success with your newsletters down the road.
Advanced Tips for Newsletter Campaigns
Your content goes here. Edit or remove this text inline or in the module Content settings. You can also style every aspect of this content in the module Design settings and even apply custom CSS to this text in the module Advanced settings.
If you already have the basics covered, it's time to move on to the big guns. Here are some of the more advanced tactics you need to level up your newsletter game.
1. List Segmenting for Improved Engagement
Segmenting in email marketing means basically separating subscribers in an email list to form different groups. Lists that are segmented are known to perform better than those that aren't.
Here are some tips to help you segment a list:
- Depending on what subscribers opted for
- Depending on which emails they read
- Depending on which links they click in emails
The ideal thing to do is to segment based on these three aspects.
2. Perform A/B Testing on Your Subject Lines
Carrying out split-testing on your email's subject lines is the next advanced tip. A/B testing is when you send our two or more variants of a certain subject line to see how each one performs. It's also possible to split test the content like the email copy, the promo being used, etc.
3. Survey Your Audience to Know What They Want
Lastly, you want to survey your audience which can lead to some amazing insights on what they want. The survey can be about the type of content they're looking for, the products they dislike, how often they want to get emails and so on.
Tips on creating your survey:
- Choose which questions to ask your audience
- Use Google Form or Typeform in making your survey (both are great at this)
- Insert all of the relevant questions you've prepared for your survey
When done, you can then send the URL of your survey via an email to your chosen audience and ask them to fill it out. Await the results and then review them to see how they responded.
