I was explaining how to set up a low-cost lead-generation process for a potential client this morning. We're starting from scratch; implementing her Facebook Pixel, setting up an Email Service Provider (ESP), building a lead-magnet and a short email nurture sequence. From there we could not only retarget visitors using ads, but send them to her blog and start a conversation there, too.
Does that sound like double-dutch to you? This is what I live & breathe but I hadn't taken in to account that for her, it was overwhelming.
All Marie wanted to do was to have an advert on her Facebook page that people clicked on to buy her service. Sounds simple enough… right? Wrong.
We [humans] are unlikely to buy something from someone we don't know, like or trust. We're bombarded with options and have the ability to do global research at our fingertips; perhaps you ask friends & family, or ask for recommendations in a networking group, facebook group or other arena where you can obtain 'social proof' or validation before you buy.
If, like Marie, you are selling a service that people use at a very specific time in their lives (- her's is a luxury honeymoon travel service. She generates the most beautiful and sewn-up honeymoons. Every tiny-detail is taken care of and she gives a level of service difficult to imagine!), then you would need to get your advert in front of your prospective customer at the very moment they are looking for that service.
Now, you can do precisely that using Google Adwords and ensuring your SEO is bang-on, but that's a long-game, hard to achieve and, depending on your keywords, very expensive!
The way to capture a broader audience who are likely to want to use a honeymoon planning & booking service is to spend time building a community of people who will want your service in the near future. As they start their journey as a newly engaged couple there will be a million things they need to organise. Our job is to make sure that Marie is the most trusted name when it comes to the jewel in the crown of their wedding planning; the honeymoon!
There are other opportunities too. Considering that honeymoons are not a regular (ahem!) purchase but more of a one-off, Marie has the problem of working hard for each sale rather than generating repeat business. Collaboration and recommendation from other wedding-related businesses could potentially generate a far more regular flow of customers for Marie and boost her reputation by aligning her with salubrious brands, locations and names within the Wedding industry. Having referrals come from these sources also serves as 'social proof' which boosts the rate at which people will become customers.
Currently Marie has no email list, no Facebook pixel or lead-generating resource to rely on. Her business comes from networking referrals and word-of-mouth. She does well with this but would benefit from having more consistency in the volume and quality of the leads..
To give Marie a broader audience and grow her customer base we need to create several different funnels* for her business. Each of these will represent a different angle but result in growth to her core business of booking more luxury honeymoons.
In essence, we're taking the networking she does in person and automating it online. I would never suggest replacing the work you do in person, but the online automations ensure that when you speak to someone for the first time, they are already 'warm'. This means they are far more likely to engage in a conversation with you, they are definitely interested in your service and are more likely to become a paying customer. Interestingly, it makes your offline networking more powerful, too!
*A funnel is the term used to describe the journey someone takes from not knowing a thing about you, to learning to know, like and trust you, to becoming your customer and giving you repeat business.
The first funnel will look something like this:
Blogs about honeymoons:
Next, I'll put the blog post out on Missinglettr which automatically creates a campaign that goes out on your social feeds over the course of 6, 9 or 12 months. This generates a lot of traffic and effectively means your blog is working for you behind the scenes. Missinglettr posts to Medium.com, too which give you the ability to generate a revenue stream from your blog as well as valuable backlinks (having credible websites that link back to your blog mean google ranks you higher).
The lead magnet download, "Ten Questions…", will be placed at several stages of the blog (widely distributed via Missinglettr and Medium.com and either at the end or as a pop-up or slider. We will also run it as a Facebook advert with targeting options set at ad-set level for the 4 different clients: consumer, wedding planner, venue and wedding-wear supplier. This lets us see where the best traffic is coming from so we can focus our budget on the higher performer and lower the cost of getting each customer.
When someone downloads the lead magnet they enter the automated email sequence. Marie now has their explicit permission to talk to them about honeymoons and convert them to become her customers!
It does sound like a lot to get in place! Once the framework is there it runs 24/7 in the background. The beauty of it is you only need to set it up once! Marie will be able to easily use the framework for all of her other funnels, as well as see which emails and lead magnets people respond best to.
Having someone who knows what they are doing setting this up for you takes the stress out of your marketing. The advantage of experience goes a long way when you have a limited budget to spend on getting things going. I completely understand that paying before you get results can be daunting. By ensuring you start with the right foundations you can control your spending and keep it at a level you are comfortable with.
More importantly, you can track exactly what revenue you get from each action so you're never wasting money on something that's ineffective. As you get more customers and your business grows, you can put more into the area you see most growth from.
Remember; your email list is yours. Your social channels are not owned by you and can change from one day to the next at the whim of the platform algorithm!
This isn't for everyone; you have to be serious about growing your customer base and generating more leads. It does take a bit of work to set up, but once it's done it ticks along quite nicely in the background.
I have one on my own site; The Strategy Builder that generates between 20-30 qualified leads per month without any paid advertising, and around 150 per month when I put £1 or £2 per day behind Facebook ads. People who want to know how to build a social media strategy are going to want more information on how to implement it, run it and develop their marketing. This converts at around 60% (which is pretty high!). I have a series of 5 emails that go out over 2 months and then a decision email where people join me or continue where they are until they're ready.
Currently, for every £78 I spend on advertising I generate £1000 revenue.
Not a bad return - but this wasn't always the case!
Careful targeting, lots of testing, tweaking, writing and rewriting went in to getting this cost down to where it is.
Now, when I work with your business to activate these kind of results for you, I use my resources, experience and the power of my social network to streamline your advertising costs & reduce the time it takes so you can maximise your income.
I will ensure your plumbing is in place and there are no blockages! By setting up the foundations I can make it easy for you to maximise the leads we bring to your business. The targeting will be set to ensure you're attracting people who want to buy your services or products, that they will benefit from them and become your champions - shouting from the rooftops about your business!
Once we have them in your email list, the emails I will show you how to write will build the trust between you and encourage them to recommend and refer you to others until they themselves hit the right time to buy from you. Once they have bought from you, you will have the email structure already in place to generate repeat and referral business from them, creating a viral-loop of customer referrals and generating leads for you.

BACI addressed with letters to the Ministry of environment and water (MOEW) and the Ministry of Economy (ME) in the light of the new EU's long-term budget proposal and the Own Resources package, which provides for development of new EU Own Resources that will not draw on existing resources of public revenue but will help Member States to address socio-economic inequalities and secondary impacts of the transition of all EU Member States to clean energy – Complementary regulatory mechanisms to the European emissions trading system in view of the Multiannual Financial Framework and EU Long-term Carbon Strategy.
We're aware that some discussions have been initiated on a new OR system linked to environmental issues through the implementation of alternative/ complementary regulatory mechanisms like Border Carbon Adjustments (BCAs) or Carbon Inclusion Mechanism (MICx), which aim at aligning the requirements to the carbon intensive industry in EU and in third countries. This proposal promotes the broad objectives of the new EU Strategic Agenda and is in line with the European strategic long-term carbon strategy "Clean planet for all". The analysis joined with the communication on the long-term vision "A clean planet for all" and numerous sectoral studies confirm that the risks of competitiveness losses and therefore of carbon leakage are real for the exposed sectors, in absence of protective measures. It is therefore necessary to continue to tackle carbon leakage risks in the EU ETS, while working to convince other jurisdictions to put in place equivalent regulations.
This topic of alternative/ complementary regulatory mechanisms like Border Carbon Adjustments (BCAs) or Carbon Inclusion Mechanism (MICx) might be brought to the attention of the Council of the European Union or its working parties like Economic and Financial Affairs Council, where the position of the Member states will be required, therefore we'd like to share the position of BACI and the association of the European cement industry (CEMBUREAU) on the alternative or complementary mechanisms to EU ETS:
Any cross-border mechanism needs to include at least the following elements as part of its design:
- applicable to all sectors alike to avoid discrimination, especially on downstream markets;
- be based on real emissions of third country producers (and not EU average)
- needs to be fully WTO compatible;
- provide for an CO2 charge exemption for exporters
- needs to be transitional in the sense that it co-exists with a free allowances system to start with whereby free allowances gradually phase out but can be brought back in case the carbon tax is considered incompatible with WTO.

The Vietnam War, Americas longest-- and in some ways most devastating-- conflict, changed the course of a generation and left millions wondering, Why? Here, in the first-ever collection of poetry from both sides of the war, Vietnamese and AmericanMoreThe Vietnam War, Americas longest-- and in some ways most devastating-- conflict, changed the course of a generation and left millions wondering, Why? Here, in the first-ever collection of poetry from both sides of the war, Vietnamese and American poets use their art to ponder this haunting question and to evoke, among other things, the extreme violence of the fighting, the unforgettable stench of death, and the irreversible destruction of a way of life.
Arranged to mirror the progression of the war, the anthology begins with the American military buildup in the early 1960s and ends with contemporary poems about Vietnam-related issues that remain unresolved today. Topics include the experience of arriving in Vietnam, the bond between soldiers, the mourning of the dead, the plight of Amerasian orphans, and the lingering psychological effects of combat. This chronological format provides a unique and compelling reading experience that offers both the pleasures of poetry and the revelations of history.
From Both Sides Now brings together a wide variety of opposing views, with poetry by American and Vietnamese soldiers, orphans, widows, priests, monks, political figures, and antiwar protesters. In addition to including extraordinary works from well-known poets such as Bruce Weigl, Margaret Atwood, Yusef Komunyakaa, Sharon Olds, Robert Bly, Allen Ginsberg, Grace Paley, Philip Levine and W.
S. Merwin, editor Phillip Mahony has scoured the globe to find amazing and, in some cases, never-before-published poetry by North and South Vietnamese soldiers and poets and the first postwar generation of Vietnamese-Americans, whose powerful verse about finding a place in a new and different culture recounts the latest chapter in the ongoing story of the war.
Together, the words of these poets form a modern, many-voiced epic about the most important event in recent American history. Poignant and accessible, the poems collected here will leave an indelible impact on all readers-- not only poetry lovers but everyone who lived through, and those who want to learn about, the Vietnam War.

AbstractAn experimental investigation aimed at studying the three-dimensional character of a turbulent mixing layer created downstream of a swept-back wing that served as a splitter plate and a screen that reduced the velocity in the test section on the lower side of the wing has been undertaken. The sweptback of the wing and the screen was 45o.The potential for the controllability of this flow was also evaluated by using spanwise uniform periodic excitation in order to assess the sensitivity of the flow to oblique imposed perturbations. The previous experiment (Suehiro (2017)) using splitter plate with the trailing edge having a "Λ" shape showed the complicated pattern of interacting waves emanating from both sides of the "Λ" notch. In order to investigate only one-sided effect which is simpler because of the absence of these interferences, the skewed swept-back wing was used for this research. Mean velocities measured by an array of pitot tubes, instantaneous velocities measured by PIV, and the hotwire data for spectrum analysis were taken to analyze the mixing layer. The velocity profiles with forcing frequency of 50Hz attained self-similarities whereas that with forcing frequency of 75Hz was distorted and they were not self-similar. Traditionally the center of the mixing layer is arbitrarily defined as the location where the velocity is the average of the two streams. Forcing the mixing layer at a frequency of 50Hz generated only minor distortions to the sinusoidal oscillation of the mixing layer center while forcing 75Hz distorted the center much more. The mixing layer with forcing frequency of 75Hz where the amplitude of the oscillations was 1.5mm was too amplified. As a result of the excessive amplification, there were two regimes. The flow experienced those regimes in time and in space. That is why a single scale length scale such as the vorticity thickness or the momentum thickness cannot be used to scale width of the turbulent mixing layer at all times and locations.

Today, 13 December, 2019, which many peoples of (northern) European descent celebrate as St. Lucy's Day (which I dedicate to the honor of the goddess Hekate as Phosphoros, "Light-Bringer"), marks my exact 10-year anniversary of receiving my Hand of Ifa (the culmination of a three-day initiation ritual) and of being crowned with my Guardian Orisha. Today marks a tremendous milestone in my life.

Happy Navratri: Blessings of Durga-Ma!
This is a holy season for many religious traditions. Last night at sundown, the Jewish New Year or Rosh Hashanah (L'Shanah Tovah to all my Jewish readers and friends!) began, kicking off the period of the High Holy Days that culminate with the Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur on the evening of October 8; this new year is the year 5780 in the Hebrew calendar.
Yesterday also began, for the 1 billion+ adherents of Hinduism around the world, the 9-day Festival of the Goddess Durga known as the Navratri. These are among the most auspicious days of the year in the Hindu religion, and while the whole country of India celebrates the Navratri, the festival is celebrated with a particular fervor in the Indian states of West Bengal (home to the Kali-centric city of Kolkata) and Gujarat.
June 21, 2007: A Midsummer Faining to Honor the Sun Goddess, Sunna
Twelve years ago today, my best friend (who is an amazing priest and vitki in his cultic tradition) Richie and I led a public Heathen devotional ritual known in some contemporary Norse Polytheist traditions as a faining (distinguished from the more-commonly-known ritual of a blòt; the former is distinguished by bloodless sacrificial offerings). It was a glorious day at a Lake County, Illinois-based forest preserve ritual location that I have always regarded as inherently sacred and immensely powerful: it is a place that shimmers with the energies of so many welcoming and helpful forest spirits, prairie spirits, and water spirits (lake and river). In attendance that Midsummer's Day were good friends and notable Heathens in the community, such as my friend Atheleas, who served as the Illinois Steward for The Troth at the time, and several of her kindred members.
Pagans and Polytheists as People of Prayer
As long-time readers of this blog will know by now, I did not enter into Polytheistic Paganism with a seething hatred for the Christian denomination (Eastern Orthodoxy) in which I'd been raised.
Getting Started in an ATR: Letter Written to a Friend
I thought I would share verbatim my email reply to a friend I've only ever known on Facebook, one who knows I am an adherent of the African Traditional Religion (ATR) of Ifá. She reached out to me via email last night, asking my advice on how she can get started as she's read a lot of books and has an affinity for several of the Orisha and Lwa but she wants to go about things the right way. This is how I replied to her questions this morning; her name, the state where she lives, and the name of a mutual acquaintance she and I share have been removed for privacy purposes. I'm sharing this correspondence here as this is something I get asked quite often and I would give the same advice to anybody. Continue reading
Serpent as Primal Ancestor: Selected Indo-European and African Cultural and Religious Contexts
Dahomey greeting given to a python encountered in the wild: "You are my father and my mother. Be propitious to me."
My father is coping well, overall, with his monthly chemotherapy treatments, and I'm very grateful for having the opportunity to spend so much time with him. This past Sunday was the most important Serbian cultural one for my parents and me: The Feast Day (Slava, pronounced SLAH-vuh) of our family's patron saint, John the Baptist. The activities surrounding ritual purification with talismanic water (blessed during a special Mass by a bishop using sprigs of dried hyssop, basil, and rue) clearly are vestiges of pre-Christian Slavic customs designed to promote renewal. I gladly welcome the opportunity to fully celebrate these time-honored customs with my family. So after Sunday's private Mass (held for families observing their John the Baptist Slava), Dad and I headed straight for my brother's grave a short walk away from the monastery entrance. The Chicagoland area was gifted with nearly 10 inches of snow from the previous day's storm; the day was sunny but cold, with a daytime high temperature of 11°. As I watched my frail, cancer-stricken father wade into the snow to make offerings of ritual foods at my brother's grave, my heart immediately felt weighted by a heavy sadness.
I thought about the importance of the day, and how the uniquely Serbian concept of the Slava is a patrilineal one, with different saints "assigned" as protectors to Serbian clans, and I wondered which Pagan Gods those saints displaced. How far back into the mists of antiquity did this observance go? I thought about the cultural importance attached to the male head of the household and the enormous magico-religious role played by that man in every Serbian family, about how he serves as bringer of luck (or the lack of it) to a Serbian family's Sudbina, or Destiny, and how he serves as mediator between the present and the past, between the living and the dead, stretching all the way back in time to the First Ancestor (i.e., the God of the Underworld, Veles), who incarnated as a serpent. I also thought about similar beliefs held about the head of the household and the connection to serpent-ancestors in ancient Greek and Roman religions and contemporary East African and West African ones. The cultic practice dots definitely connected in my mind in strikingly similar ways, as the research I've done and share below bears out. Join me on this cross-cultural spiritual odyssey into the serpentine Labyrinth of the Ancestors, won't you?

Bean[3] was a witch who attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the 1980s.
During her time at Hogwarts, she was Sorted into the same house as Jacob's sibling. At some point by the 1985–1986 school year, she became a Beater of the Quidditch team.[4]
She talked to her bat after Quidditch matches as her lucky tradition.[5]
She was extremely dedicated to her position as a Beater to the point where she neglected her studies and did not attend any lessons since her second house match in the 1985–1986 school year. As a result, at the beginning of the 1986–1987 school year, she was suspended from the Quidditch team.[3]

Dumpling Head? We Beg To Differ...
A True Chocolate Bunny
Those darn Canadians are at it again--messin' with our heads! (And Usagi's too, apparently.)
When we heard that some of our friends in the Great, White North had Chocolate Bunnies for Easter we thought they meant rabbits! Silly rabbits! No! They really did mean Chocolate Bunnies! ("Bunny" is the translation of Usagi [Serena's real name] in Japanese.)
Vadeboncouer (which makes a whole line of taste treats) created a "Sailor Moon" chocolate for this last Easter (1999). Weighing in at a hefty 275 grams it's a treat that would satisfy even Usagi's sweet tooth. It also came with a "Moon Rod" (ow!) and a sticker! But is Vadeboncouer making some sort of anti-feminist statement by making her head hollow? We hope not!
At only $5.99 Canadian it's a steal! Import some today! And since it's from the "Inedible World of DiC" you know that it'll last for at least a year! (Hey U.S. anime store owners! Pick this item up! We'll buy it!) Below is a list of locations which stocked the item:

Gluten-Free Chocolate Torte
When I started baking for people outside my immediately family, I was shocked at how many people prefer chocolate to vanilla! I'd say 80% of my cake requests are for chocolate. Either I live in a chocolate bubble, or vanilla isn't as common as I thought!
Since I've had so much practice at chocolate cake making, I've discovered the one secret to an amazing chocolate cake...Use expensive chocolate! It tastes like the difference between a great bottle of wine and a wine cooler (do they even still make those???) I use Callebaut and I get an 11 pound brick from Amazon. Holy moly is it huge and heavy, but the amount of chocolate I go through in a couple months makes it totally worth it!
This recipe is from Ina Garten's "Make It Ahead" cookbook and if you are familiar with Ina, you know everything she makes is amazing. It is a very dense and decadent torte that is almost like a rich brownie consistency. It is gluten-free as written, but if you don't care about gluten - you can substitute the gluten-free flour for regular all-purpose flour and it will taste exactly the same. Because it's so rich, it's wonderful paired with raspberry sauce or vanilla ice cream (or just a nice glass of red wine!)
I hope you give it a try…
Gluten-Free Chocolate Torte
Prep time: 1 hour, 45 minutes (30 minutes hands-on time)
Serves 8-10
1 pound, 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate such as Callebaut or Lindt broken into small pieces
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 tablespoon gluten-free flour (can use all-purpose if you don't want a gluten-free torte)
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon instant coffee
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 eggs, at room temperature, separated
1/4 cup heavy cream
Take a medium saucepan and fill it 2-3" with water and place on the stove. Place a clean and dry, heatproof (glass works well) bowl over the water to make a bain marie. Add 1 pound of the chocolate to the bowl and bring the water beneath up to a simmer. Stir the chocolate occasionally until melted. While chocolate is melting, preheat your oven to 425 degrees and grease an 8" springform pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper if you have it (if not, grease well.)
When chocolate is melted, remove from heat and stir in the butter and the rest of the dry ingredients.
Separate the eggs and add the whites to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or you can use a hand mixer if you don't have a Kitchenaid.) Add the yolks to the chocolate mixture and whisk by hand until smooth.
Beat the whites until they form soft peaks (soft peaks are when you turn your whisk upside down, the peaks are just starting to hold. They're soft and melt back into themselves after a second.) Fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture with a rubber spatula (gently - don't over mix!) Scrape the mixture into the greased pan.
Bake the torte for 15 minutes exactly. This is a temperamental cake so don't leave it in the oven a minute passed 15 minutes and make sure your oven temperature is accurate. After 15 minutes, turn the oven off and open the door slightly and leave the cake in the oven for 60 minutes.
After 60 minutes, remove the cake and release it from the springform pan. Make a ganache by placing the 3 ounces of chocolate and the heavy cream in a heatproof bowl and place it over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate melts then remove from heat. Pour the ganache over the cake (it will have sunk a bit making a perfect bowl for the melted chocolate). To keep things mess-free, keep the melted chocolate away from the edges of the cake.
Let cool, then serve warm or at room temperature with raspberry sauce or vanilla ice cream.

Esther Phillips - 1972 – From A Whisper To A Scream
Esther Phillips had a long and storied career and all of her recordings for KUDU have something nice on them, but this is probably the best one.
The credits for "From A Whisper To A Scream", Esther's 1972 Kudu debut – considered by many to be her finest album for the label – lists such renowned players as Hank Crawford on sax, Eric Gale and Cornell Dupree on guitar, Bernard Purdie on drums, Richard Tee on keyboards and Gordon Edwards on bass. Also enlisting the cream of background singers (Joshie Armstead, Hilda Harris and Tasha Thomas) giving Esther just the right vocal cushion for her blues-tinged interpretations of works by everyone from poet/singer Gil Scott-Heron and the great Marvin Gaye to New Orleans legend Allen Toussaint and soul man Eddie Floyd.
A1 Home Is Where the Hatred Is 3:25
A2 From a Whisper to a Scream 4:15
A3 To Lay Down Beside You 5:00
A4 That's All Right With Me 3:20
A5 'Til My Back Ain't Got No Bone 3:15
B1 Sweet Touch of Love 3:15
B2 Baby, I'm for Real 4:20
B3 Your Love is So Doggone Good 3:55
B4 Scarred Knees 6:15
One of our favorite-ever albums from Esther Phillips – an album that really helped her transform her sound for the 70s! The approach here is a lot more jazzy than before – served up with a good dose of funk, thanks to arrangements from Pee Wee Ellis – fresh from his work with James Brown, but even more electrically-oriented here! The groove is great – and the album's one of the best Kudu sides from the early 70s – a perfect blend of soul, jazz, and funk – all wrapped up with a new level of sophistication that benefits all parties involved. Other players include Richard Tee on keyboards, Eric Gale on guitar, Bernard Purdie on drums, Airto on percussion, and Hank Crawford on alto sax. Titles include an incredible cover of Gil Scott Heron's "Home Is Where The Hatred Is"(Dusty Groove).
One of Esther Phillips finest '70s releases, "From a Whisper to a Scream" is the first of seven albums the singer recorded for CTI offshoot Kudu. Arranged and conducted by Pee Wee Ellis, the December 1971 session also involved principal players such as bassist Gordon Edwards, drummer Bernard Purdie, percussionist Airto, guitarists Cornell Dupree and Eric Gale, keyboardist Richard Tee, and saxophonists Hank Crawford and David Liebman. Setting the tone for Phillips' Kudu era, Whisper offers a series of spacious, yet fully arranged ballads of burning heartache, along with a handful of relatively funky numbers that do nothing to compromise her talent, dishing out loads of classy grit. It's a definite point of departure from the likes of Esther Phillips Sings and And I Love Him, her field of contemporaries closer to Al Green and Aretha Franklin than before. She grabs onto "Home Is Where the Hatred Is", Gil Scott-Heron's most harrowing rumination on drug dependency — which, at that point, wasn't even a year old — as if it were her very own, and it's all the more poignant given its parallels with her own life. (Its meaning was only compounded by her death in 1984.) Though there is absolutely nothing lacking in the album's more energetic moments, it's still the ballads that shine brightest, like the alternately fragile and explosive "From a Whisper to a Scream" (Allen Toussaint) and a staggering "Baby, I'm for Real" (Marvin and Anna Gordy, made popular by the Originals) so vulnerable yet commanding that it really should've closed the album.
Enjoy her 1975 album "What A Diff'erence A Day Makes" on our back pages here.

Baby-Boomers and Millennials are in a constant war that is probably indefinite and will never end until both generations cease to exist. Millenials get blamed for a lot of things and are considered as the inferior generation by Baby-Boomers, that's usually because Baby-Boomers always act entitled and feel like giving a life lesson to everyone they see.
In truth, Millenials are so much more forgiving and easy going than Baby-Boomers, and if we get all the facts we will end up concluding that Baby-Boomers were so much more privileged and had way more opportunities than Millenials, we should never forget that.

Bloomington, IL – Advocate Aurora Health and the Carle health system today announced they have entered into a definitive agreement for Carle to acquire Advocate BroMenn Medical Center and Advocate Eureka Hospital and affiliated sites in Central Illinois. Both organizations cited Carle's strong local footprint and a proven track record of successful partnership, enhanced access and coordination of care, and services for patients in Central Illinois as key drivers for the transaction.
"This transition is positive news for our patients, team members and physicians as it further supports our commitment to provide high quality, accessible health care for the Central Illinois region," said Colleen Kannaday, president of Advocate BroMenn Medical Center and Advocate Eureka Hospital, who will remain on as president. "Our relationship with Carle is built upon a strong foundation of successful clinical partnerships and we look forward to a seamless transition."
Carle and BroMenn have a longstanding history of partnering to bring expanded access to health care services to Central lllinois. Together they provide care in the areas of maternal and fetal medicine, trauma and specialized oncology services. Carle is also a joint venture partner with Advocate BroMenn in The Center for Outpatient Medicine and offers health plan coverage through Health Alliance to BroMenn and Eureka team members.
As a vertically integrated health system, Carle includes hospitals, physicians, health insurance, research and academic medical services for patients. Carle is focused on quality care.
"We look forward to welcoming Advocate BroMenn, Eureka, the Medical Group and other clinical teams to Carle. Our providers, hospitals and health plan have long partnered to deliver care through joint services, referrals and health coverage. We believe that coming together will allow us to use the strengths of our organizations to offer new programs to serve the region," said James C. Leonard, MD, Carle president and chief executive officer.
Since Advocate Aurora acquired BroMenn and Eureka in 2010, the system has made investments to improve facilities, upgrade technology, and expand access to care in the community. Given the evolving landscape and market dynamics, the organization's strategy has changed, and its growth focus has shifted to other geographies at this time.
"Our consumers are at the center of everything we do and sometimes we must look outside our walls to best serve their needs," said Jim Skogsbergh, president and chief executive officer of Advocate Aurora Health. "Carle is a well-respected, financially-strong provider who shares our commitment to excellence, and we are fully confident they will serve our talented team members, physicians and communities well. It's been a privilege to serve the great people and communities in Central Illinois and we are committed to a smooth transition for all."
Both the Advocate Aurora and Carle governing boards approved the plan, announcing the decision to physicians, nurses and team members in both organizations today. Terms of the transaction are not being disclosed. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval, including by the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board and the Federal Trade Commission. Closing is expected by mid-year 2020. Patient care will not be impacted.

Free agent Frans Nielsen has signed a six-year deal with the Red Wings,the team announced.
The belief is that Nielsen got $30 million from Detroit, while the Islanders had offered a seven-year deal worth slightly more, reports Arthur Staple of Newsday.
Nielsen, 32, had 20 goals and 32 assists in 81 games during the regular season for the Isles in 2015-16.
He had been with the team since 2006.
Brian Erni, SNY.TV Twitter | Archive Posts
Nielsen really was the only one of the Isles' UFAs with a chance to stay, and I thought that his love for the organization might be the ultimate tiebreaker. But with the report that he left money and years left on the table, it's obvious he wanted a change.
At 32, Nielsen is an interesting case. While I love the versatility he brings with his ability to play both wing and center, can he still be an elite penalty killer as he gets older? That's my ultimate concern. If he can keep his legs, he'll make his new club very happy, but I think there's a solid chance that, depending on how his body holds up, his new deal might not end up providing that much value.
I'll miss Frans. He loved being an Islander, and we all loved having him. But the roster shakeup is on, and now there's no turning back.

Weekly Reports | Feb 10 2020
By Rudi Filapek-Vandyck, Editor FNArena
The FNArena database tabulates the views of seven major Australian and international stock brokers: Citi, Credit Suisse, Macquarie, Morgan Stanley, Morgans, Ord Minnett and UBS.
For the purpose of broker rating correlation, Outperform and Overweight ratings are grouped as Buy, Neutral is grouped with Hold and Underperform and Underweight are grouped as Sell to provide a Buy/Hold/Sell (B/H/S) ratio.
Ratings, consensus target price and forecast earnings tables are published at the bottom of this report.
Period: Monday February 3 to Friday February 7, 2020
Total Upgrades: 26
Total Downgrades: 16
Net Ratings Breakdown: Buy 37.60%; Hold 46.30%; Sell 16.10%
Stockbroking analysts may have been slow to jump into action in the first weeks of the new calendar year, there is no disputing they've become busy now that the February reporting season is upon us.
For the week ending on Friday, 7th February 2020, FNArena counted no less than 26 upgrades in ratings for individual ASX-listed stocks against 16 downgrades.
The real story might be found in changes to earnings estimates and valuations/price targets. While adjustments to forecasts carry a bias to the downside, valuations and price targets are most likely to be revised upwards. As such, analysts are justifying the strong start for the local share market in January.
ANZ Bank, Harvey Norman and Janus Henderson all received two upgrades during the week as 14 of the 26 upgrades provided investors with fresh Buy ratings. Oil Search was the week's sole receiver of two downgrades on the back of political stasis in PNG. Seven downgrades resulted in new Sell ratings.
Following yet another better-than-expected profit report, ResMed topped the week's table for positive revisions to price targets, followed by CSR, GUD Holdings (profit report) and JB Hi-Fi. The negative side shows a decisive lack of movement, with Oil Search and Alacer Gold the only ones worth mentioning.
A lot more action can be found in both tables for amendments to earnings forecasts. Alacer Gold, ironically, takes the week's top spot for postitive changes to forecasts, well ahead of Janus Henderson, Fonterra, Cimic Group, and Coles Group. Negative adjustments are much larger in size, with Orocobre's forecasts taking the largest hit, followed by Virgin Money UK, OceanaGold, Pilbara Minerals, and FlexiGroup.
The local reporting season steps it up one notch in the week ahead.
AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND BANKING GROUP ((ANZ)) Upgrade to Overweight from Equal-weight by Morgan Stanley and Upgrade to Neutral from Underperform by Credit Suisse .B/H/S: 1/6/0
Morgan Stanley assesses the franchise is improving its performance while capital concerns have eased. Cost expectations have been re-based.
The broker believes the institutional strategy is working and the operating environment is now more promising, providing comfort on the outlook for growth and returns.
Rating is upgraded to Overweight from Equal-weight and the target raised to $26.60 from $24.80. Industry view: In-Line.
Credit Suisse observes the stock has underperformed the market by -17% and the bank index by -9% over the last 12 months.
Going forward, the broker considers most of the issues are now behind the bank and there is some upside emerging.
With asset divestments still to come, a capital management story could re-emerge. Hence, the rating is upgraded to Neutral from Underperform. Target is unchanged a $26.
ALACER GOLD CORP ((AQG)) Upgrade to Outperform from Neutral by Credit Suisse .B/H/S: 3/0/0
2019 net profit materially exceeded Credit Suisse forecasts as an additional tax credit was realised, partly offset by unrealised non-cash FX losses. No dividend was declared, as expected, with the focus remaining on debt repayment.
The company is intent on growing oxide reserves and production and advancing its geological understanding of Cakmaktepe and Ardich as well as increasing the sustainable Copler production.
Credit Suisse upgrades to Outperform from Neutral. Target is steady at $7.20.
BAPCOR LIMITED ((BAP)) Upgrade to Add from Hold by Morgans .B/H/S: 5/0/0
Morgans expects around 10% sales growth in FY20 noting, while the company reiterated its growth guidance at the AGM there was a softer tone from management. Bapcor foreshadowed softer margins across all businesses at the AGM.
The broker suspects earnings growth will be skewed to the second half. While cautious about the results, Morgans suspects the outlook is improving and upgrades to Add from Hold. Target is $6.90.
BORAL LIMITED ((BLD)) Upgrade to Buy from Neutral by UBS .B/H/S: 1/3/0
UBS observes Boral is trading at a steep discount to the market and suspects this reflects expectations that the 2019 underperformance will continue into 2020.
While the previous year was difficult, FY20 guidance assumes a catch up is possible in the second half.
The broker suspects investors are increasingly worried that the diverse operating footprint will stretch management.
However, downside risks are considered limited and UBS upgrades to Buy from Neutral. Target is raised to $6.00 from $4.90.
BANK OF QUEENSLAND LIMITED ((BOQ)) Upgrade to Neutral from Sell by Citi .B/H/S: 0/4/3
Citi believes the majority of the near-term downside for Bank of Queensland has played out. The dilution from funding the restructuring plan has been quantified and CET1 will be at the upper end of the target range.
A reduction to the final dividend is considered priced in and the broker upgrades to Neutral from Sell. Target is $7.75.
CIMIC GROUP LIMITED ((CIM)) Upgrade to Outperform from Neutral by Macquarie .B/H/S: 3/1/0
Cimic's result met recently updated guidance. Continuing the theme of recent results, mining once again beat forecasts and construction once again missed, Macquarie notes, although a decline in activity in protest-ridden Hong Kong offset strength in local infrastructure development.
Strong cash generation leads the broker to anticipate a return to dividends as early as the first half 2020. This, and the fact the stock is trading at its largest PE discount to the market in ten years, prompts an upgrade to Outperform. Target rises to $32.64 from $32.49.

1st Battalion the Highlanders' Caithness Company recently said farewell to a pair of cadets who have reached the upper age limit of the organisation.
Cadet Regimental Sergeant Major Tristan Jack (17), from Farr Detachment, and Cadet Sergeant Kieran Sutherland-West (17), from Castletown Detachment, received sgian-dubhs prior to them leaving on their 18th birthdays in recognition of their commitment to the ACF.
Tristan and Kieran have both enjoyed significant achievements during their time with the Battalion. Both were part of the Top Army Cadet Force winning team in last year's Scottish Cadet Military Skills Competition held near Dundee, and both have taken part in Battlefield Tours.
As well as being appointed as the most senior cadet of the Battalion, RSM Jack has also had the privilege of taking part in international exchanges. In 2018 he was part of the ACF's annual Canadian exchange Exercise Oak Leaf, where he spent six weeks living in Canada training alongside his counterparts in the Royal Canadian Army Cadets.
Both Tristan (pictured left) and Kieran were presented with their sgian-dubhs by Company Training Officer Sergeant Instructor Brian Dods during Company Training Day at the Thurso Cadet Centre.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Law enforcement, for the most part, looked the other way during the Eagles parade.
Traveling, unlicensed street merchants set up hit-and-run style on side streets, hawking hats, gloves, and other Eagles items.
"Business is OK today, nothing to brag about right now, but when the parade is over it's gonna get much, much better," said one merchant.
One bold entrepreneur dragged a wagon full of green Eagles flags through the middle of Market Streeet, in full view of the cops.
"They say Super Bowl Champions 2018 and it has the whole Eagle right there. Business good? So-so," he said.
Open containers of alcohol were also in plain sight.
"Pabst for breakfast, breakfast of champions right here. I figured, 'What's cheap and easy to carry? Twelve-pack of PBR, that's it.'"
But as long as no one got hurt, or out of line, the rules went out the window, at least for one day.

What is Mobile Commerce? Definition and Types of Mobile Commerce | Business Perspective
How do businesses use mobile commerce applications today? Here's an introduction to m-commerce for app owners and companies looking to enter the mobile scene.
If you've been keeping up with recent consumer trends, you've probably heard people talking about mobile commerce as the next big thing. The truth is that the rise of mobile devices and their progressing domination over desktop make m-commerce a natural successor of e-commerce.
M-commerce and e-commerce have many things in common. However, there are a few important differences between them that you need to know if you're trying to decide which approach is better for your business. Your company website and online store might already be optimized for mobile devices. But that doesn't mean your business is ready for a move towards m-commerce.
This article is a comprehensive introduction to the world of mobile commerce to help business owners learn the many benefits of mobile commerce applications.
Table of contents
- Mobile commerce definition
- What are the key mobile commerce advantages?
- Better customer experience
- Omnichannel
- Great variety of payment options
- Mobile commerce statistics you need to know
- Types of mobile commerce applications
- Mobile commerce applications examples
- What is the future of m-commerce?
- The takeaway
1. Mobile commerce definition
Mobile commerce, also called m-commerce, refers to any transaction completed with a mobile device – be it a smartphone, tablet, or even a wearable device (see the trend for wearable payments, for example).
Experts consider mobile commerce as the next phase of e-commerce, as it allows consumers to buy goods or services online – but from anywhere and at any time.
But mobile commerce is so much more than that. In fact, m-commerce triggered the emergence of brand-new industries and services or helped the existing ones to grow in new directions. Examples of such innovations include:
- tickets and boarding passes,
- mobile banking,
- money transfers, contactless payments, and in-app payments,
- digital content purchases,
- location-based services,
- mobile marketing, including coupons and loyalty cards.
All of these features which today are part of our customer experience wouldn't be possible if not for the rise of mobile commerce.

2. What are the key mobile commerce advantages?
Now that you know what mobile commerce is all about, you might be wondering why so many businesses are investing in it today. The truth is that an m-commerce application offers numerous advantages to companies and customers who use them.
Here are three good reasons why your business needs a mobile commerce application.
a. Better customer experience
We all know what happened when e-commerce became popular. It made shopping so much more convenient and fun for customers. They could browse through a wide range of products, benefit from more competitive pricing, and complete their purchases without having to step away from their computers.
It's safe to say that we all got used to purchasing products and services online. With mobile commerce, we retain all the benefits of e-commerce – but now we don't even have to use our laptops or desktop computers anymore. As long as consumers have a mobile device, they can shop whenever they want and from wherever.
Mobile commerce allows companies to interact with customers easily because they're using apps and services their target audiences already know and like to use.
To amplify the user experience in their mobile commerce applications, companies use cutting-edge solutions such an augmented reality (AR) or chatbots. For example, IKEA is among the top retailers that take advantage of AR apps to boost their mobile commerce business.
b. Omnichannel
This is a unique strength of mobile commerce applications. An omnichannel experience is an experience of customers who purchase from stores that sell through multiple online and offline channels. Examples of such touch points include brick-and-mortar stores, an online store, online marketplaces like Amazon, social media apps like Facebook or Instagram, and dedicated mobile apps.
To get ahead of their competition, businesses are striving to list their products wherever they know potential consumers are already spending their time.
This type of contextual commerce offers companies an opportunity to help their customers buy what they need from platforms and services they use every day. Moreover, mobile commerce also makes it easier to plan and execute multi-channel marketing and sales strategies.
c. Great variety of payment options
New mobile payment solutions emerge every year. Businesses can now offer their customers a broad and diverse range of payment options to make the process of buying products and services even smoother.
All of that doesn't mean we're moving our credit cards or cash behind. However, mobile commerce takes advantage of solutions that don't force users to manually enter their details every single time they make a purchase. Examples of such modern mobile payment solutions are PayPal One Touch, Amazon Pay, and Apple Pay.
These three benefits are just the tip of the iceberg. Read this article to learn more about what m-commerce applications offer to businesses today:

3. Mobile commerce statistics you need to know
To help you get a better grasp on the mobile commerce scene, here's a handful of statistics that show its current and future impact:
- By 2021, mobile commerce sales will account for 54%
of total e-commerce sales.
- One-third of consumer decisions to make a purchase is influenced by researching
products on mobile devices.
- More than half (53%) of retailers have created a mobile app and, more than 50%
of the rest want to build one.
- In Q2 2019, mobile e-commerce spending in the US reached $41.2 bn.
- The total number of U.S. shoppers who make mobile purchases is expected to reach 168.7
- The volume of mobile commerce sales will more than double between 2017 and 2020, reaching a smashing $336
bn in 2020.
4. Types of mobile commerce applications
M-commerce applications cover a broad range of transaction options. However, it's possible to divide them into one of the following types:
Mobile shopping – this type of m-commerce implementation is most similar to e-commerce, only accessible through a mobile device. We're talking about dedicated apps, optimized websites, or even social media platforms like Facebook or Instagram that allow in-app purchases or linking to online stores.
Mobile banking – mobile banking is quite similar to online banking. However, you will find that some transactions might be restricted or limited on mobile devices. Mobile banking is a type of implementation that usually involves a dedicated application – though some financial services companies are now experimenting with chatbots or messaging apps to deliver customer service.
Mobile payments – this type of mobile commerce focuses on the progressive innovation in payment options realized with mobile devices. Today consumers can take advantage of many diverse mobile payment options that go way beyond mobile wallets.
5. Mobile commerce applications examples
By now, you have a good grasp of the theory behind mobile commerce applications.
But how does mobile commerce work in practice?
Here are five examples of outstanding m-commerce applications that offer excellent examples to follow for companies looking to enter the mobile commerce scene.

Amazon is one of the largest online marketplaces in the world, featuring hundreds of thousands of items on sale. Packing all of this content into a user-friendly and intuitive app was surely challenging. But Amazon's m-commerce app is light and fast, allowing its users to search and filter a wide range of products using various parameters with just a few clicks.
Moreover, Amazon provides several payment gateways to build a smooth checkout experience. Users also get notified about their order status in up-to-the-minute updates. The app also takes advantage of localization services to help users discover offers from businesses located nearby.
Lesson learned: The app's simple interface hides some really powerful features. That's what makes this Amazon an outstanding example to companies that want to launch mobile commerce stores
The global coffee shop chain created this app primarily to enable mobile payments and boost their loyalty program. Customers can add funds to their loyalty card and use their phones to buy drinks at Starbucks coffee shops.
They can earn loyalty points on the go and then exchange them for free refills or snacks. The app also takes advantage of geolocation services and helps users to locate nearby stores quickly.
Lesson learned: The application is smoothly integrated with the Starbucks loyalty program. That's how it helps the brand forge a stronger connection with its target audience.
Uber might not be the first thing that pops into your mind when thinking about m-commerce, but this leading on-demand car service app is, in fact, a great example of mobile commerce capabilities.
By connecting riders with drivers, the app uses GPS technology to access the progress of the car on its way. It also allows users to compare different vehicle types and pay for rides using their mobile wallets. After completing the ride, both the driver and the passenger can rate one another and leave their feedback.
Lesson learned: Uber disrupted the private transportation sector by offering the first successful product of this kind. It was soon followed by many others. Uber wouldn't be able to achieve that without the unique m-commerce functionalities like geolocation or mobile payments.
This international cosmetics and beauty retailer operates almost 2000 retail stores across 30 countries all over the world. Sephora launched its digital transformation journey a while ago. The brand's mobile app plays a critical role in the company's marketing strategy today.
The app offers a memorable digital experience, making shopping fun and quick. For example, it features an integrated loyalty card and personalized alerts about offers available in the store. Moreover, users can scan products for ratings and reviews while shopping in Sephora stores. Finally, the app features an amazing AR functionality that allows app users to try on different makeup products from their mobile device with Sephora Visual Artist.
Lesson learned: Sephora's mobile app takes the shopping experience at brick-and-mortar stores to the next level – it's an excellent example of an omnichannel experience.
The UK-based global fashion retailer offers thousands of products in its mobile app. A while ago, ASOS revamped the app experience to make it more attractive to customers. The brand managed to do it so successfully that consumers now spend 80 minutes per month on average in the ASOS app.
One of the most interesting features is the style match functionality, a visual search tool that enables users to find similar items quickly. They need to take a picture or upload a reference photo, and the app will show the closest results among the brand's extensive stock. The mobile app can analyze the pattern, color, and texture from the image and make satisfactory recommendations to users.
Lesson learned: ASOS mobile app offers a unique recommendation engine that transforms the shopping experience.

6. What is the future of m-commerce?
The examples we have shown you above should make it clear that businesses stand to gain a lot from entering the mobile scene. In fact, companies that fail to accommodate their operations to mobile will limit their potential profits significantly.
The reason behind this is that the mobile ownership rate continues to rise. More internet traffic currently comes from mobile users than desktop users. As a result, we can expect a massive increase in m-commerce activity in the near future as businesses spot new sales opportunities and jump on the mobile bandwagon.
Even today, consumers who are considering to purchase a product often look for it on their mobile devices first. They quickly check their features, reviews, and prices offered by different retailers. This is a habit that will only deepen in the future, making it even more essential for retailers to become part of the mobile scene.
The takeaway
There's no telling by how much the mobile commerce sector will grow during the next few years, but one thing is clear: businesses that don't take advantage of the growing m-commerce market will limit their opportunities for growth and success.

How to Get Free SSL (HTTPS) with Github Pages
Published 27 December 2018 in websites
I have really been feeling the urge to write for the past month while I have been working full time rebuilding my website from scratch to host on Github Pages for free. Once I attached my custom domain to this new site, I worried about not being able to take advantage now of the free SSL I got on Namecheap.com from my purchase of one year of hosting on their servers. Lo and behold, I didn't need to worry because it turns out I can get free SSL on top of my free hosting with Github Pages, and in this blog post I will show you how to do it.
Step 1: Change your A Records or Add New Ones
I covered in my other tutorial about how to add custom domains to Github Pages how easy the process really is. In order to get SSL to work on your website, all you have to do is add or change some IP addresses in your Github Pages A records. On Namecheap, go to your dashboard and click on the button that says "Manage" next to your domain name you want to use for your Github Pages site. In the "Domain" tab of this page, make sure that the Nameservers are set to Namecheap BasicDNS in order to point the apex domain or www. domain to your Github Pages site from Namecheap. Next, in the "Advanced DNS" tab of this page, add a new A record or change an old A record that has any of the following four IP addresses. You can use any or all of these IP addresses for your A records:
- 126.96.36.199
- 184.108.40.206
- 126.96.36.199
- 18.104.22.168
Make sure your CNAME record has a host of "www" and a value of "yourusername.github.io." with yourusername being your Github username. To use a custom subdomain, use whatever word you want to use for your subdomain as a host instead of "www".
Step 2: Enforce HTTPS in Your Github Pages Site Settings
Next, go to your repo Settings and scross down to the section labeled "Github Pages". After you save your custom domain, you should be able to click on the checkbox that says "Enforce HTTPS" if you set up your CNAME and A record(s) successfully. Note that your site may have issues unless you make sure to add "www." in front of your custom domain. This was what I had to do.
Step 3: Clean Up Your Mixed Content
One issue I encountered was that for a few hours the connection to my site was marked as "insecure" by my browser. Knowing that this warning is often thrown if my site has mixed content (sources from an unsecure HTTP url such as images) I went ahead and made sure the images on my site were all from HTTPS. Note that it takes a few hours for the connection to become secured.
Your new SSL is thanks to Let's Encrypt, a "free, automated, and open Certificate Authority" as a Linux Foundation Collaborative Project. Neat stuff.

Monster Musume TV Anime's Cast, Staff Revealed
posted on by Daryl Lee Hale
The June issue of Tokuma Shoten's Monthly Comic Ryū magazine will announce the cast and staff of the TV anime adaptation of the Monster Musume (Monster Musume no Iru Nichijō or Everyday Life with Monster Girls) manga on Saturday. The series is set to debut in July.
So far, the cast includes:
- Sora Amamiya as Miia
- Ari Ozawa as Papi
- Natsuki Aikawa as Centorea
Tatsuya Yoshihara (Muromi-san, Yatterman Night) will direct the anime, with series composition and scripting by Kazuyuki Fudeyasu (Tantei Opera Milky Holmes, Miss Monochrome). Takaya Sunagawa (Yozakura Quartet ~Tsuki ni Naku~) will serve as character designer and animation director. Shunji Akasaka (key animator for Tamayura - More Aggressive, Cardfight!! Vanguard) will serve as chief animation director and sub-character designer. manzo and Hiroaki Tsutsumi are composing the music for the series. Lerche x Seva is handling the show's animation.
Additional staff members are as follows:
Prop Design and Key Animator: Takahito Sakazume
Art Director: Hiroko Tanabe
Color Key: Kumiko Yanagisawa
Director of Photography: Kazuyoshi Shiomi
Editor: Masaki Sakamoto
Sound Director: Hiroto Morishita
Okayado launched the manga in Tokuma Shoten's Monthly Comic Ryū magazine in 2012. Seven Seas Entertainment published the sixth compiled volume in North America last month, and it describes the story:
Monsters: they're real, and they want to date us!
Three years ago, the world learned that harpies, centaurs, catgirls, and all manners of fabulous creatures are not merely fiction; they are flesh and blood - not to mention scale, feather, horn, and fang. Thanks to the "Cultural Exchange Between Species Act," these once-mythical creatures have assimilated into society, or at least, they're trying.
When a hapless human teenager named Kurusu Kimihito is inducted as a "volunteer" into the government exchange program, his world is turned upside down. A snake-like lamia named Miia comes to live with him, and it is Kurusu's job to take care of her and make sure she integrates into his everyday life.
Unfortunately for Kurusu, Miia is undeniably sexy, and the law against interspecies breeding is very strict. Even worse, when a ravishing centaur girl and a flirtatious harpy move in, what's a full-blooded teenage human with raging hormones to do?!
The series is often listed on The New York Times manga best-seller list. The manga's official Japanese website launched a campaign last September, asking fans to weigh in with their opinions on an anime adaptation over Twitter.
