Print and Digital Marketing are two very powerful tools when it comes to advertising for a Business. But by learning how to collaborate the two methods together, you can create a louder and more powerful and form of advertising. Combining Print Marketing and Digital Marketing can definitely become a winning formula for any company, as it is the key to combine the two platforms with the right harmony to complement each other.
Below, we have listed 11 different ways on how print marketing and digital marketing are more powerful tools when put together.
1. Personalize your message with variable printing:
Personalisation is possible online and offline too. The combination of Variable Digital Print technology and better customer data allows us to personalize print collateral. With Variable Digital Printing, you can create personalized print collateral in tandem with your customer's data and digital footprint. You can also embed tailored, personalized messages in graphics and images. Every page in that next print run can be personalized without slowing down the print process. Why bother? Personalisation delights. It makes the moment memorable for the recipient. It can lead to the irresistible need to share on social media
Now, Imagine
- Personalised direct mail messages, based on your customer purchase history
- Personalised consumer packaging. Add your customer's name to product labels or packaging stickers before delivery
- Personalised promotional products in an event goody bag, tailored with your delegate's name
- Personalised offers in your flyer drop based on your client's location
Why not use variable printing in conjunction with social media campaigns? Encourage your subscribers to sign up for free goodies and offers on the social channels they follow the most.
2. Combine print & digital with graphic design:
Have you invested much design time and creative energy in your print campaign graphics? Translate this valuable content into online graphics. Great online graphics mean more clicks – and that's where we can really help you shine.
Create custom graphics and a campaign template that bring the same message across every online platform, whether it's your website banners, slide-decks, social media ads or blog posts. It works both ways. Bring a consistent visual identity from your online world to your offline collateral.
Have you invested in great visual content on your website? Like an amazingly useful infographic or a clever blog or quiz for example? Incorporate this into your print material too.
An infographic could work as event signage, window display banners and posters. To make your images shine, both online and offline, remember, image quality, resolution and size is key.
3. Make it shareable on social media:
Have you a good following on social media? Would you like to grow it? Use Social Media as the perfect springboard for launching your printed marketing campaigns and vice versa.
- Tell your prospective customers about the new catalogs, offers, packaging or coupons heading their way using social posts
- Generate a campaign hashtag and use it in print. Another simple way to link with digital campaigns. Hashtags should be short, sweet and simple so readers can easily remember them. Hashtags help your audience dip into the conversation, join a community or access more entertaining and educational content online with your hashtag. This is their virtual rallying point
- Insert social media buttons, short URLs and social media handles in your printed materials. This includes business cards, flyers, brochures and POS
Make it easy for your audience to connect with you online. Earn yourself more followers, direct them to competitions and gain more Likes.
4. Use QR codes & personalized URLs to track media crossover:
Build a trackable bridge between printed material and online channels.Use QR codes and personalised URLs to enable recipients to jump from your print marketing into your landing page. All they need is their smartphone.
Recent research shows the smartphone is the primary device for Irish consumers above laptops and tablets – 86% own or have access to a smartphone. Encourage your audience to scan QR codes by embedding them in your printed material. Deliver deeper, more interactive information via print this way. And sell more if your website is e-commerce enabled.
Go one step further. Generate personalised or varied URLs on your printed material to help you track different customers in each segment or territory.
Now you can cross-pollinate and harvest some interesting data like:
- who picked up your printed material?
- when they did it?
- where they went to next?
You can also get really creative with QR Code design. Take it one step further and use Dynamic QR codes. These can be edited at any time, even after printing.
5. Combine the power of direct mail with email:
A direct marketing campaign works better when you continue the conversation online and vice versa.
Why Direct Mail?
Printed direct mail is a great way to re-connect directly with clients in the real world. A novel, tactile way to delight millennials who live in data filter bubbles online. A creative, imaginative and personalised printed mail campaign delights your recipient. Get past all those inbox spam filters with a useful, good-looking document. But once you've got their attention, be sure to backup your offers and news with online content.
Deliver your recipients with:
- Easy ways to buy from page to screen. Send them to a landing page that converts
- Take them to a video that entertains or demonstrates your product
- Give them something fun to do like a Photo caption competition on Facebook
Why go with Email?
Use emails to deliver the same message online when you need to reach more people, more quickly and on mobile. Cover vast geographic distances at a lower cost with email. You can convert your direct mail graphics into email flyers and vice versa.
6. Share more documents with e-publishing and digital publisher:
If you create newsletters, training manuals, product catalogs, reports, or any heavy duty printed collateral on a regular basis, this is for you. You can convert printed publications into online documents with our E-Publishing and Digital publishing solutions. Deliver more of your in-depth information, faster and at a lower cost via email and download. Transform your publications into shareable, mobile and trackable content.
Features you can add include:
- Rich multimedia
- Video
- Music and Audio files
- Links to related web pages and documents
- Page Links directly to information within the ePublication.
- Email links for easy communications
- Internal search. Fast track to pages of interest
Do think about incorporating more of these features into your next Digital Publication.
7. Go mobile with SmartText:
SmartText brings SMS marketing to the next level. Translate your direct mail campaigns from mere text into richer, more interactive graphic text messages. With SmartText, you can deliver promotional messages to your customer's smartphone as a mobile landing page. Your offers appear visually, embedded and linked to the Internet.
A SmartText contains rich details of your promotion using an interactive mobile page, complete with a call to action. Recipients can click for more details, use "touch to call" or send an email inquiry directly from the page.
So, How does it work?
Design the SmartText Page with your branded graphics and send your text broadcast or simply design the page as you would a flyer and include it as a short link in your broadcast. Bring your message to a thousand fingertips at once with SmartText.
8. Bring print to life with Augmented Reality:
Augmented Reality apps bring print to life in a fun, interactive way. Allow your audience to access more information and view rich media even when they interact with you through print. There are also free apps available for download, and scan your printed image to see videos, call to action buttons, landing pages and other rich media.
Why bother? Imagine turning any brochure, window display, magazine advertisement, business card or leaflet into a window to your online store, video demo or social media pages.
9. Use a Call-To-Action to drive traffic:
Don't create passive print. Use it to drive traffic to your digital channels. Turn that old 'Show & Tell' marketing approach into a "Come And Join Us" moment.
How? Always incorporate CTAs (Call-to-Actions) in your product offer or branded content. Always tell your audience what to do next. Give them the next step. You could also combine printed collateral with social media or e-commerce promotions.
Some examples:
- Encourage consumers to follow your social media page for a lucky draw
- Tell them to subscribe to your mailing list, or 'club' for regular product offers
- Include special promotional codes to incentivise online shopping
- Tell them to download a complimentary guide, game, or to watch a video
Create call-to-actions that take people from print to pixel. Also, open up more online engagement.
10. Venue campaigns
One way to use digital advertising to reach people outside the home is with a venue campaign. In this combination of digital and print marketing, you will ideally start with your digital ad and then follow-up with a print mailer. For example, imagine a college campus on move-in day. There are tons of items a new student entering a dorm for the first time might discover they need or want, and you know this is a group tied to their mobile devices.
A well-time and targeted advertisement for a lamp could easily do the trick. Also, once they've seen your ad, you can follow-up with mailed pieces about other items they might need. Venue campaigns also can be used to target concert-goers with mailed pieces about similar concerts coming up in their area. There are tons of opportunities here to capture their interest with an ad and then follow it with your more robust mailed piece.
Create a roadmap for your print & digital strategy
Now you have a veritable dashboard of tools to help you cross the print and digital divide. Turbo-charge your marketing even further with a roadmap. Before embarking on this journey you'll need a strong sense of direction and a content plan.
Write down your goals, KPIS and priorities. Is it increased website traffic, more subscribers or sales leads?
- Be clear about who you are targeting. As, this determines your campaign content. What solutions do they require? Is it thought leadership or entertaining storytelling?
- Map out the digital footprint and of real world user journeys of your target customer. When and where will they be seeing your messages in their day-to-day life?
- Create a content calendar that integrates print and digital messaging in tandem
- Agree on the format your content will take. Both online and print. Will you share infographics? Will you create detailed white papers or ebooks?
- Ensure the information you post is shareable, trackable and easy to adapt
- Communicate and coordinate within your organisation. Show internal sales teams the complete picture. Allow the sharing of data and feedback across departments
- Monitor your KPIs regularly and adapt the online message accordingly
- Listen for feedback and also always provide a point of contact in all your channels. Allow your customers to talk back
Today's customers interact with dozens of mediums on a daily basis. Your goal, as a brand, should be to meet them at as many of these points as possible. Some will be online whereas others will be offline. Learning to develop effective marketing messages that maintain consistency, regardless of whether the medium is digital or print, is a skill that will take you far.

Some weeks ago I was doing some shopping and here is what I got:
First I went into a Rituals shop, from the things I saw there it was mostly the body scrubs what got me interested. I picked up two different ones. The Himalaya Wisdom prepared with salt, and the Sakura scrub with sugar. I am already trying the Sakura scrub and so far it looks pretty good. I also got the Magic touch Cherry blossom and rice milk, pretty creamy and thick but with a lovely soft texture that absorbs quick. I got a shower gel in Hammam Olive Secret and I got a free Happy Mist in Mandarin for my purchase.
After this, I went into Lush and got crazy into bath bomb shopping, as you can see from this pic.
Finally, I got a few things here and there: Bioderma Sensibio Solution Micellaire and Sensibio Mask, Mask Apaisant for sensitive intolerant skin; and a couple of aromatic soaps at Zara Home: in Pure Gardenia and White Jasmine.
I am very excited about all these, and you will hear soon about what I think about them!

Category: Pediatric Rehabilitation; Technology (e.g. robotics, assistive technology, mHealth)
Objective :
To explore families' perceptions of the feasibility and outcomes of FES as an upper limb intervention for young children with hemiparesis due to a perinatal stroke.
Design : Exploratory, qualitative study.
Setting : General community.
Participants (or Animals, Specimens, Cadavers) :
Parents of 7 children with a history of perinatal stroke, impaired upper limb function (Manual Ability Classification System levels II and III), aged 3-6 years, and recent participation in FES intervention.
Interventions : Children participated in 36 hours (three one-hour sessions for 12 weeks) of FES (MyndMove®, MyndTec Inc.) for the hemiparetic upper limb.
Main Outcome Measure(s) :
Parents were interviewed within one week of their child completing the FES intervention. The interviewer used a semi-structured interview guide with open-ended questions that queried the goals, benefits and challenges of the FES intervention. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed and analyzed using thematic analysis.
Results : Five themes were identified. 1) Perceived physical, psychological and functional improvements: e.g. increased confidence, strength and arm use. 2) Parents' expectations: e.g. initial apprehension about FES, valuing small improvements in arm function. 3) Experience with the structure of the intervention: positive (intensive, customized) and negative (travel, unfamiliarity with FES) aspects were recognized. 4) Strategies to facilitate participation: e.g. extended family support, increasing familiarization with FES. 5) Lack of access to FES, both in conventional therapy and the community. Perceptions across themes were modified by external and internal parent and child factors, such as travel distance, family support, initial parent goals, and motivation of child.
Conclusions :
Parents perceived FES for the upper limb to be feasible and effective for their children with hemiparesis. Interest in improving access to FES highlights the positive perception of FES for children with hemiparesis.

No one wants to fall ill when they are traveling. There is just never a good time for it. You will feel groggy on the plane, and it could prevent you from leaving the hotel once you reach your destination. It can be even worse if you are backpacking or traveling around different places. You simply won't feel like stepping outside! Thankfully, there are ways you can help yourself stay fit and healthy while traveling. Just make sure you pack all this useful health advice the next time you head out on the road!
Ditch The Bad Habits
Smoking can be annoying when you are out traveling. Different countries have different cultures. So you might find it hard to find the time and place for a cigarette in certain destinations. And you don't want to be stuck on a long-haul flight for twelve hours craving a cigarette! So try and kick this habit before you leave home. Your overall health will certainly thank you for doing so! The best way to quit smoking is to go cold turkey, but there are also stop smoking tablets that can help you. It's also a good idea to cut down on alcohol while you are away. Ever traveled with a hangover? It's one of the worst situations ever! Don't risk is; lay off the booze for a week or two.
Take Time To Stretch
No matter where you are in the world, there is always time to give your body a good stretch. Keeping up with your Yoga while traveling can help keep your body supple and free from any pain. You will find it really helps get rid of all the aches that come after a long flight or train journey! If you are staying in a hotel or Airbnb room, you should have plenty of space to do some basic stretches before you leave for the day. Feeling all tight on a long haul flight? No problem; there are still some Yoga stretches you can even do in your seat! Just make sure you don't bang into whoever is sitting next to you!
Keep Healthy Snacks On You
It is a good idea to have a couple of healthy snacks handy at all times. When you are out and about exploring your destination, you might need a little energy to keep you going! You can always buy something while you are out of course. But it just makes things a little easier if you have something with you. That way, you don't have to worry too much if you don't find a shop or market selling fresh fruit or nuts. And it also means you don't have to pay high prices! Most hostels and hotels offer free fruit to guests these days. So grab an apple and banana before you leave for a busy day exploring!
Stick To Your Routine
We all have our little routines at home. Things like moisturizing daily and always taking our vitamin supplements. Well, you should also try and stick to these while you are traveling as well, no matter where you may end up. You may notice some small side effects if your vitamin regimen slips slightly. The best way to stay on top of this is to keep a small pot of your vitamin tablets in your handbag. That way, if you forget to take them in the morning, you can always take one when you remember. Be sure to take any prescription medicine you need to take as well. Otherwise, you may end up falling seriously ill while you are traveling.
Be Mindful About Water
As you probably already know, drinking plenty of water is a huge deal when you are traveling. It prevents you from dehydrating, and can also help your skin stay soft and supple even in extreme heat. But you should also be aware of where your water is coming from. Not all countries have safe tap water. Some countries have safe tap water, but you still shouldn't drink it. That's because the water in these countries has a very high mineral count. Your body won't be used to this, and it can make you sick. You should also make sure that you don't have any ice in your drinks, and that you don't swallow any water while showering. If you are ever in an emergency and only have tap water available, you can make it drinkable by boiling it. Make sure that the water is continually boiling for at least one minute.

These are quick and easy to make for those mornings that you want something a little more heartier than cereal. They freeze well too. Lots of flavor and not too spicy.

Great flavor and gives that great New Orleans flavor. Adding a little picante sauce adds just another layer of flavor.

H.B. Fuller is committed to building a zero defect quality culture.
We focus on understanding customer requirements; delivering on time, every time; and creating a prevention mindset. Over the past year, our quality team focused on driving improvement at our Nienburg, Germany, site. We asked Jeff Murray, Director of Global Quality, and Nathalie Ruelle, Regional Quality Lead, to explain the process and lessons learned.
Q: What were the quality issues being experienced at Nienburg?
Nathalie Ruelle: Over the past two years, we saw some quality defects across several product lines. As a company, this can lead to waste and extra expense, and our employees end up with a higher workload and potentially lower engagement. Ultimately, we want to do everything we can to prevent sending any product to a customer that doesn't satisfy their requirements.
Q: What process was followed to address these issues?
Jeff Murray: We brought together a multifunctional team, combining technical and product expertise. We involved production operators, process engineers, R&D, and department heads, in addition to our quality team.
NR: Once we came together, we used quality tools and processes, including cause mapping and 8D problem solving to solve the real problem. Then, we continued to apply Failure Mode and Effects Analysis to further lower risk through improvement projects.
Q: What solutions were identified, and what have the results been?
NR: Our teams identified and prioritized actions we could take to prevent the defects we had seen, including things like adjusting the mixing time and temperature for certain products.
JM: We have reduced the number of quality issues at Nienburg. This has led to fewer customer concerns, less waste and expense, more engaged employees, and improved supplier ratings.
Q: What lessons can be taken away from this experience and incorporated into similar efforts at other sites?
NR: It is always a good idea to bring people with different experiences together. We need to gather solid data, make clear decisions, and most importantly, dedicate sufficient time to talk about prevention. With perhaps 5 percent more time spent on prevention, we may be able to avoid 15 percent of quality problems.
JM: As Nathalie says, once you climb out of a reaction mindset, you can move to spending more time on prevention. This helps our team build confidence that they can prevent and avoid problems. As our sites around the world have successes like Nienburg has experienced, we also make it an ongoing practice to share best practices and solutions with each other to leverage our strength as a global team.

Something that I have been thinking about a lot is usefulness. There are moments when we have items in our home that are not useful to us. Sometimes we have apps on our devices that are not useful. Maybe at a time they seemed useful, but things have changed. But usefulness isn't only something we consider as objects or possessions. People can be useful or not useful too.
Paul was writing to Philemon about the runaway servant Onesimus. He tells Philemon about this change that has occurred. Yes, Onesimus was deserving of punishment, which could have meant a death sentence. It was within the legal limits. But Paul mentions this great conversion of Onesimus. Not only did he give his life to Jesus, but in doing so, he became useful. In saying, "Not my will, but Your will be done," he became useful. God had big plans for Onesimus!
If someone would consider your usefulness, what would they say? Would they describe you as very useful? Do you think you are very useful? Or is something getting in the way? That something could even be you! Truth be told, you have a great purpose. God has known this since the very beginning. It is a purpose that I pray you embrace and pour yourself into as an offering. Aim today to come to terms with this usefulness, and if the Spirit convicts you, follow His leading. It is a very dangerous prayer to say, "Use me." Yet is a prayer than can help position you for what God has already prepared. Be useful. Plant for a good harvest.
"Onesimus hasn't been of much use to you in the past, but now he is very useful to both of us." – Philemon 1:11 [NLT]
Refreshing Kindness
Kindness is always refreshing. In this dark world, kindness is a great light that shines brightly. Paul wrote about how he had such joy and comfort from knowing of the love that was being shown to others.
Paul also recognized that kindness refreshes people's hearts. The word that is used means "to give rest." It means to have a pause, rest, or to take ease. Kindness allows people to be free to simply share the love. For many it is a breath of fresh air. Kindness makes life much easier, and much more blessed.
Today, share that refreshing kindness to others. Ask the Spirit to help you be a blessing to someone. Be intentional. Look out for the best interest in others. Take notice. Speak life. Hold open the door. Smile. Your kindness is refreshing. Consider how God will use whatever you do in His name to further His kingdom. That one smile could encourage someone to be bold today. That one word of encouragement could be the push that starts a fire in someone's heart. That extra time spent being kind to someone could help someone to truly feel the love of our Father.
"Your love has given me much joy and comfort, my brother, for your kindness has often refreshed the hearts of God's people." – Philemon 1:7 [NLT]
Philemon Study: True Forgiveness
- Paul wrote letter to Philemon while he was in jail.
- Philemon's house may be where the Colossian church met (v. 2).
- Philemon had a slave Onesimus (v. 16).
- Onesimus means "useful" or "beneficial."
- Onesimus was useless to Philemon – slave who stole money and ran away.
- Paul converted Onesimus.
- Onesimus is now useful to Philemon and Paul. (v. 11).
- Though Onesimus was helping Paul while he was imprisoned, Paul sent Onesimus back to Philemon with this letter to appeal for forgiveness for Onesimus. Roman law required this to happen.
- Philemon owes Paul his life – his very soul— salvation in Christ (v. 19)
- Paul asks Philemon to charge all that is owed by Onesimus to his (Paul's) account (v. 18). He offered to pay for Onesimus' sins against Philemon.
Friendship – Forgiveness – Reconciliation
Ephesians 4:32 – Forgive as you have been forgiven
Forgiveness comes through Jesus. Through Christ alone we have forgiveness and reconciliation to God. Reconciliation means "coexist in harmony" or "restore friendly relations." We only have the ability to forgive others because of the Holy Spirit.
Forgiveness has a cost. Paul offered to pay the cost. Onesimus could have been punished – even with death. Our cost for forgiveness was paid by Jesus Christ.
Forgiveness is always necessary. Paul asks Philemon to do the right thing. He could have punished Onesimus or he could forgive him and receive him as a partner. The word used means "fellowship."
Forgiveness from God lasts forever. When we are transformed, becoming a "new creature" in Christ, the Spirit changes us from the inside out – just like Onesimus. This is forgiveness and transformation that lasts forever. The board is wiped clean.
Bible Study Questions:
1) Paul mentions in verse 14 that he preferred to do nothing without consent in order that Philemon's (fih-LEE-muhn) goodness be of his "own accord." What does this mean?
2) Paul wrote in verse 21 that he was confident of Philemon's obedience. How could he be so confident that Philemon would forgive and do even more than asked?
3) Forgiveness, Paul notes, will take Onesimus (o-NEH-sih-muhs) from position of bondservant to beloved brother. Was he asking for Philemon to free his slave Onesimus or does this beloved brother mean something else?
4) Read Colossians 4:7-9. Onesimus was sent along with Tychicus (TIH-kih-kuhs).
How was he described?
Why do you think Paul had Onesimus go along with Tychicus to deliver the Letter to the Colossians as well as the Letter to Philemon?

King John
Act Four
By Dennis Abrams
Act Four: Back in England, Hubert visits the cell where Arthur is being held, but, ultimately, cannot bring himself to use red hot irons to burn out young Arthur's eyes. At court, the support of Salisbury, Pembroke and Bigot – already weakened by John's strange decision to be crowned a second time – is further damaged by the news of Arthur's apparent death. The situation worsens as John hears of the arrival of a huge French army, and that both Eleanor and Constance are dead. Rumors escalate, stirred up by Peter of Pomfret, of John's imminent downfall. Panicked, John blames Arthur's death on Hubert, who reveals that the boy is still alive. Neither knows, however, that Arthur is in fact dead, killed in a fall while escaping from captivity. When his body is discovered by Salisbury, Pembroke and Bigot, they assume that Arthur has been murdered, and join the Dauphin's army.
Before getting into Act Four, I was re-reading Acts Two and Three, and there are a couple of things I'd like to note that escaped my attention before:
1. Act Two, scene 1, 397-400. John and the King of France have fought to a stalemate under the walls of Angiers. John proposes to Philip, "France, shall we knit our powers/And lay this Angiers even with the ground,/Then after fight who shall be king of it?' How darkly modern, cynical (somehow Vietnam comes to mind), is that passage?
2. Act Three, scene 1, 127-133. Constance has been berating Limoges, the Duke of Austria, for wanting to accept the peace between England and France, ending with "Thou wear a lion's hide!/Doff it for shame,/And hang a calfskin on those recreant limbs." Austria responds, "O that a man should speak those words to me!" To which Bastard immediately responds, "And hang a calfskin on those recreant limbs." Very Marx Brothers like.
3. Act Three, scene 4, 125-158. Pandulph, the Papal Legate's utter and complete cynicism in this speech – his almost cheerful willingness to let Arthur die so that the people of England will revolt and kick John off the throne.
The thing about King John, I think, is that it makes little or no attempt to spare our feelings. Though Arthur has somehow survived the king's plotting, it is only to face death just a few scenes later, jumping from a wall while disguised as a ship-boy. This is just the kind of senseless event that King John presents to us – a chaos reflecting what the Bastard describes as the 'tug and scramble' of the world.
From Tanner:
"King John is a new kind of history play for Shakespeare. There is no shadow of the Morality play in the background; nor are there any ritual elements – in the action or in the language (we hear none of the antiphonal exchanges audible in Richard III). I have not mentioned some of the elements of the play – the pathos of young Arthur pleading with Hubert not to put out his eyes; the hysterical, though often powerful, complaints and laments of the demented [MY NOTE: Really?] Constance, (she dies 'in a frenzy') – and in her speeches a descendant of Queen Margaret. But it is clear to me that by far its most important feature is the development of the imaginary character, the Bastard. It is worth noting, as E.A.J. Honigman pointed out in his magisterial edition, that certain key words occur more often in this play than in any other Shakespeare play. These include 'blood' (40 times), and 'right' (28 times). The recurrence of 'right' is perhaps hardly surprising since much of the play consists of endless debating about what, in this world where the 'morality' of politics is discussed in terms of games ('Have I not here the best cards for the game/To win this easy match played for a crown?' – and one good treachery deserves another ('Paying the fine of rated treachery/Even with a treacherous fine of all your lives), 'right' actually is, and what is 'right. Perhaps only the Bastard gets and keeps a fast hold on this. 'Blood' lines up with other frequently occurring words referring to parts of the body – 'hand' (52), 'eye0 (47), 'arm' (27), 'breath' (18), 'mouth" (14), 'foot' (12), 'brow' (11), 'bosom' (10), 'tooth' and 'teeth' (4), 'spleen' (4), 'bowels' (3) – this is a lot in a comparatively short (2,600 lines) play. It certainly indicates that this is an intensely corporeal play: the emphasis is very much on the body and there is very little sense of the transcendent or the spiritual. In a world dominated by 'commodity,' the body is, as it were, the central commodity. Again, this is a new feeling in Shakespeare. But I stay and end with the Bastard as the crucial invention and innovation. He represents the introduction (and fictitious) comic-heroic element into the history play, which will enable Shakespeare to progress to his supreme achievements in the genre – Henry IV, Parts 1&2.
From Garber:
"The energies of Shakespeare's King John have much in common with those of Titus Andronicus, an early tragedy with which it shares a propensity for physical violence and the thematics of bodily mutilation. Where, for example, Titus seems to return repeatedly to the allusive language of heads and hands (both vividly lopped off, onstage, in that robust Senecan play), King John is similarly engaged – one might say obsessed – with the imagery of the eye, a thematic emphasis that culminates in the famous scene, invented by Shakespeare, in which the citizen Hubert of Angiers threatens, on John's orders, to put out the eyes of Prince Arthur, a rival claimant to the throne. King John's own language, and especially his use of the word 'signs,' likewise links John to Titus as well as to another early history play, Richard III. Here, for example, is the King's remonstrance to Hubert, after John receives what turns out to be the false news of Arthur's murder (Hubert pretends to have done the deed, and is relieved to learn that John now wishes it undone):
King John:
Hadst thou but shook thy head or made a pause
When I spake darkly what I purposed,
Or turned an eye of doubt upon my face,
As bide me tell my tale in express words,
Deep shame had struck me dumb, made me break off,
And those thy fears might have wrought fears in me.
But thou didst understand me by signs,
And didst in signs again parley with sin;
Yea, without stop, didst let thy heart consent,
And consequently thy rude hand to act
The deed which both our tongues held vile to name.
Out of my sight, and never see me more!
The 'hands,' 'tongue,' and 'signs' of Titus Andronicus are here combined with the 'eye of doubt' and the command 'Out of my sight,' echoes of the insistent 'eye' language of earlier scenes, and especially of the scene of aborted torture. When Hubert, emboldened, announces, 'Young Arthur is alive. This hand of mine/Is yet a maiden and an innocent hand,/Not painted with the crimson spots of blood,' and says that he is not, and could not bring himself to be 'butcher of an innocent child,' John begs his forgiveness: 'Doth Arthur live?…my rage was blind,/And foul imaginary eyes of blood/Presented thee more hideous than thou art.' In this play John's emotional respite is short-lived, however, since Arthur in the next scene leaps to his death from the castle in which he had been imprisoned. This now unwelcome death of a former rival, like so many hastily and unwarily wished for in Shakespeare's history plays (e.g., the death of Richard II that blights the reign of Henry IV), will come back to haunt the king.
In dramatic terms, the rivalry sets up a series of mother-son pairings unusual in Shakespeare's history plays, which are so often preoccupied with the relationships between fathers and sons. Eleanor and John, Lady Falconbridge and the Bastard, and Constance and Arthur are all juxtaposed in scenes that show the mother's affection, the son's loyalty, and the complex politics of mother love, in a way that will not appear again until the late Roman play Coriolanus. The first act opens with the entrance of a king and queen, but the queen – Eleanor – is the king's mother, not his wife. And she is also clearly his political confidant and close adviser. Lady Falconbridge's 'dear offense' with King Richard I (Richard Coeur-de-lion, the Lion-Hearted), Eleanor's eldest son and John's brother and predecessor, has produced the Bastard as hero and champion. And Arthur's claim, passionately supported by Constance and by her allies of France and Austria, derives from his father, Geoffrey, Constance's husband and Eleanor's second son. When John's forces capture Arthur (officially styled Duke of Brittaine, but called by John, more dangerously, 'Arthur of Britain), Constance is distraught, and in her distress she delivers what is perhaps the play's most memorable single speech, her lament for 'pretty Arthur' and her almost metaphysical praise of grief.
The scene, act 3, scene 4, anticipates the torture scene in act 4, scene 1, and it is important to remember that at this point Arthur is neither dead nor even physically threatened. Yet in performance this is a 'mad scene,' anticipating Ophelia and Lady Macbeth, as Constance enters with her hair down (the conventional stage sign of the madwoman), and the French King Philip ineffectually commands her, 'Bind up those tresses…Bind up your hair.' Her reply is all too apposite: 'I tore them from their bonds, and cried aloud,/'O that these hands could so redeem my son,/As they have given these hairs their liberty!'' She is convinced that her son will die in captivity: 'therefore never, never/Must I behold my pretty Arthur more.' Although Constance begins the scene with histrionic exclamations, a familiar if powerful combination of macabre charnel house language and the erotics of womb and tomb – 'Death, Death, O amiable, lovely death!/Thou odoriferous stench, sound rottenness!…I will kiss thy destestable bones,/And put my eyeballs in thy vaulty brows,/And ring these flowers with thy household worms…Come grin on me, and I will think thou smil'st,/And buss thee as thy wife' – she ultimately modulates her tone, and attains, for a moment, an astonishing sublimity of utterance. When the Cardinal chides her for her excessive grieving, she answers in the same tenor as Macduff: 'He talks to me that never had a son.' And King Philip's mild reproof, aimed at the emotionalism of women – 'You are as fond of grief as of your child' – produces the extraordinary conceit that is, perhaps, the play's most often quoted passage:
Grief fills the room up of my absent child,
Lies in his bed, walks up and down with me,
Puts on his pretty looks, repeats his words,
Remembers me of all his gracious parts,
Stuffs out his vacant garments with his form;
Then have I reason to be fond of grief.
Fare you well. Had you such a loss as I,
I could give better comfort than you do.
[She unbinds her hair]
I will not keep this form upon my head
When there is such disorder in my wit.
O Lord, my boy, my Arthur, my fair son,
My life, my joy, my all the world,
My widow-comfort, and my sorrow's cure!
The King, like Horatio confronted with the mad Ophelia, 'fear[s] some outrage,' and follows her offstage. Arthur's desperate leap to his death comes an act later, and it is greeted with equal ceremony – 'O death, made proud with pure and princely beauty!' – by the nobles who discover the body. But by this time both Constance and Eleanor are dead, the passing of these two enemies and rivals twinned, with acute irony, in a messenger's report to King John:
King John:
O, where hath our intelligence been drunk?
Where hath it slept? Where is my mother's ear,
That such an army could be drawn in France,
And she not hear of it?
My liege, her ear
Is stopped with dust. The first of April died
Your noble mother. And as I hear, my lord,
The Lady Constance in a frenzy died
Three days before…
In this exchange, John speaks in words very similar to those later to be heard from a scornful Lady Macbeth ('Was the hope drunk/Wherein you dress'd yourself?'), only to hear, as Macbeth will hear, of the queen's death offstage. 'What! mother dead?' John exclaims, rather bathetically, at the news. The historical Constance died in 1201, three years before Eleanor, but Shakespeare's play brings these mighty opposites together in death. In a play written in the time of Elizabeth and focused on a set of martial, political, and religious conflicts often compared with Elizabeth's own, neither Eleanor nor Constance prevails. Instead, as with Elizabeth, the key question continues to be not who will be the power behind the throne, but who will be the legitimate and powerful ruler. The model remains male (John; his son, Prince Henry; the heroic Bastard). Elizabeth would have seen herself in the line of kings, and not among the female consorts. But the theatrical power of these two strong women is very effective, enlivening the play and deepening its pathos.
Against these titanic women of the older generation, the younger women, exemplified by Blanche of Spain, have little power. Blanche, indeed, finds herself in a situation that will become familiar for brides-to-be in Shakespearean plays, torn between love and filial duty – between her husband, Louis of France, and her uncle, King John of England, as the false peace brokered by her wedding immediately escalates to war:
Which is the side that I must go withal?
I am with both, each army hath a hand,
And in their rage, I having hold of both,
They whirl asunder and dismember me.
Husband, I cannot pray that thou mayst win. –
Uncle, I needs must pray that thou mayst lose. –
Father, I may not wish the fortune thine. –
Grandam, I will not wish thy wishes thrive.
Whoever wins, on that side shall I lose,
Assured loss before the match be played.
Like Octavia in Julius Caesar, caught between her husband, Antony, and her brother, Caesar, Blanche discovers that an arranged marriage cannot so easily reconcile determined foes.
Prophecies, like that of the local seer Peter of Pomfret, are used to reinforce the sense of dramatic fatality. Peter's prediction that John will 'deliver up' his crown by Ascension Day comes true, but not in the dire sense in which it is taken, since at the beginning of act 5 John voluntarily surrenders his crown to the papal legate in order to receive it ceremonially back from him, thus reconciling himself with Rome. Peter of Pomfret is dismissed as a 'dreamer,' like the soothsayer in Julius Caesar, and the part he plays is a very small one. In fact, though he is onstage at the time, in act 4, his prophecy is reported by the Bastard rather than spoken by Peter himself. But this slantwise achievement of a prophetic 'truth' against its apparently plain meaning is a device that Shakespeare will sue repeatedly in other plays, from Richard III (where the prophecy that 'G" intends mischief refers not to George, Duke of Clarence, but to Richard, Duke of Gloucester) to Henry IV Part 2 (where the King dies in a chamber called 'Jerusalem,' not in the Holy Land, as he had expected) and the several prophecies in Macbeth.
The larger design of the play pursues a pattern that would become familiar in later histories and tragedies. A king with a clouded title to the throne tries desperately to reinforce that title by repressing, appeasing, or extinguishing a popular rival. Arthur's name, Arthur of Brittaine, we might note here, would have carried historical resonances with the ancient and legendary King of Britain, as well as with Henry VIII's elder brother, the first Tudor heir, Prince Arthur, who died young. Interested parties on all sides attempt to intervene, with results that are either futile or counterproductive. External war (in the plot of the play, the medieval conflict of England against France; in the context of Shakespeare's own time, England's recently concluded war with Spain) is followed by civil strife, both between rival factions and within the divided mind and consciousness of the king. A heroic and entrepreneurial figure – here, the Bastard Falconbridge – emerges to combine the popular and the 'noble,' and to offer a spirit of patriotic energy otherwise lacking from the tired court."

color trend: shades of violet
August 25, 2010
Another color that has been popping up everywhere is: violet. And I mean violet in all shades! You have eggplant, lavender, orchid, aubergine and many more…
This color cousin is comforting, serene, and timeless; it acts as a good neutral without being brown, grey or camel. It is good staple that will surely be around for awhile.
Feng shui suggests that this color is good for physical and mental healing, as well as bringing spiritual awareness. This might be one of the reasons why we are drawn to this color given the current events.
Especially moving into fall, be on the look out for eyeshadows and lipsticks leaning toward a more violet hue. This color trend is evident in everything from make-up to clothing to cars!
The fabrics I have highlighted here are from KDR Showrooms and the tile samples are from Fantasia Tile at IMS in Minneapolis.

Last year was utterly devastating for me, but it was the footprint that initiated the path of my journey to rediscovery. The treachery from "loved ones", the heartbreaking relationships, the blueprint from childhood, and the sabotaging patterns; they were meant to happen and lead me to where I stand now. I just came, after almost a year, to garden my
blog home once more.
People never change, only the circumstances and priorities do. We can adapt to the situation by changing our patterns and behaviors, for the better or worse. We evolve with progression, to change is to become something we weren't from the beginning. " – Jessa Otero
I was confused with the whole ordeal, not sure of what to become or how to begin with. During the journey, I learned storytelling by attending clients behind a cash register. I listened closely, exchange some truths, and let my guard down with a few strangers. Words became wiser, and connections more memorable. The idea of coming back to what it used to be familiar relapsed. Impulsive decisions led me to unknown places, California. I didn't think by that time, I just packed my things and left without a word. Burbank was one of the most breathtaking experience I ever had. I fell in love with her and I can't see myself elsewhere.
The ones who hurt you immensely by pushing you to the bottom, are the ones that are gonna make you go forward by growing wiser, making you humble, and reassembling you more stronger. Others come to offer you a joyful ride, experience things more lively without any judgment for a fraction of a second. Michael was one of them. Lastly comes the ultimate companions, the ones that make you bright till the darkest times, that reciprocate unconditional love, one of the kind soul mate, I finally found one, Denisse! This is the stage where I actually started experiencing love, finding my place and calling it Home. I became completed with myself.
Without any small breaks for space or breathing, I endured every hit that life threw at me; lessons after lesson. Rage is an impregnated motion within me, an uncontrollable passion that makes me move beyond. As a little apprentice, I'm learning to channel the waves and use it as a drive to keep going forward, instead of hurting others. A big journey lies ahead, I don't plan to stay for a while; I already made my final decision, and I'm almost on the top.

Telefilm turns the camera on Canadians
Its new social campaign lets us be voyeurs and see how others enjoy our country's cinema.
Telefilm Canada has tapped into the power of showing and not telling, with a new social campaign aimed at boosting Canadians' appreciation for homegrown films.
"Watch Us, Watch Us," created by Toronto creative agency The Hive, includes seven short online videos that feature a variety of Canadians – from a hockey team to a family of Syrian refugees to Olympians – watching and reacting to Canadian films, including Breakaway, Turbo Kid, How to Plan an Orgy in a Small Town, and La grande séduction.
The campaign was built around the insight that Canadians often don't think we'll enjoy watching our own films, says Francesca Accinelli, director, national promotions and communications at Telefilm Canada.
"Watch Us, Watch Us" was created to support a collection of 150 Canadian films on iTunes, in honour, of course, of Canada's 150th birthday. That partnership was part of larger set of discoverability initiatives launched by Telefilm in January.
In March 2016, Telefilm launched an initiative called "Canada First," a social media platform that aims to connect Canadians to the talent in our film industry, past and present.
However, Accinelli says Telefilm did struggle with finding the right kind of content that engages Canadians, prompting it to turn to the trend of viewers watching others watch things – think e-sports' growing popularity or even those YouTube compilations of people watching the "Red Wedding" scene from Game of Thrones.
The campaign has received support on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, with Telefilm largely targetting an 18-to-35 demographic but also seeing engagement from viewers outside that group, particularly on Facebook, which skews older, Accinelli says.
The first four English-language videos have so far received more than 2.5 million views, with the latest French video on track to have similar results, according to The Hive.
Given the relative low cost of producing the videos and their successful level of engagement, Telefilm is likely to produce more similar content, Accinelli says.
Telefilm found itself at the heart of another kind of campaign recently. More than 50 Canadian filmmakers and producers signed a letter in April urging the government to keep a rumoured merger of the CMF and Telefilm off the discussion table. The letter called Telefilm the Canadian film industry's "single most important ally."

Nashville, TN (PRWEB) May 8, 2009 -- Thanks to a $2.5 million gift and one acre of land, all from the Buzz Oates Charitable Foundation (http://www.buzzoates.com/about/foundation.html), Mercy Ministries of America (http://www.mercyministries.org)--in recognition of May 7, National Children's Mental Health Awareness--today announced the completion of its first West Coast home, an approximately $6 million, 40-resident facility in Lincoln, Calif., just north of Sacramento. Additional funds for the home were obtained through private donations and in-kind gifts acquired by Mercy Ministries and the Buzz Oates Charitable Foundation. Mercy Ministries has not yet announced an opening date for the home, but plans to open the facility in late summer or early fall of 2009.
Nashville, Tenn.-based Mercy Ministries of America is a Christian residential counseling program that serves girls and young women, ages 13-28, who face a combination of life-controlling issues such as drug and alcohol abuse, addictions, depression, eating disorders and unplanned pregnancies. Since 1983, Mercy Ministries' free-of-charge program has served more than 2,000 girls and young women with its combination of best-practice clinical interventions and faith-based counseling.
The Sacramento-area home will be Mercy Ministries' fourth American home, but first on the West Coast -- a fact that Mercy Ministries' founder and president Nancy Alcorn (http://nancyalcorn.wordpress.com) says is important. "So many girls from California have sought our help over the years, but they have always had to travel across the country to find a Mercy Ministries facility. Before the construction of the California home, Mercy Ministries in St. Louis was our closest home to California. Now we will truly be able to serve girls from the West Coast in their own backyard," Alcorn said. "I am so grateful to Buzz Oates, a generous man with a huge heart, and his foundation, The Buzz Oates Charitable Foundation, for giving such a large gift to make this home for hurting young women possible."
The Buzz Oates Charitable Foundation -- a Sacramento-area non-profit focused on faith-based initiatives -- became acquainted with Mercy Ministries after its namesake, entrepreneur and businessman Buzz Oates, expressed a desire to fund a home for women with unplanned pregnancies.
Kathy Fairrington, Oates' daughter and a Foundation board member, eventually spearheaded the project. Fairrington said: "It made sense for us to partner with an organization that had the specific passion and expertise of Mercy Ministries. After spending time getting to know Nancy Alcorn and touring the ministry's Nashville operations, it became clear we were on the right track with an organization that would connect with my father's goals and honor his vision through its operations."
Oates added, "This project's completion has been a dream of mine. I'm excited to be part of the Mercy Ministries organization and grateful for Kathy's careful oversight. This home for troubled girls and young women also wouldn't have been possible without the support and contributions of numerous friends and business partners."
Mercy Ministries' six-month residential counseling program has always been free-of-charge and incorporates Christian principles with best-practice clinical interventions like individual and group counseling and on-site nutritionists. In a recent independent survey of former residents, over 93 percent of respondents said Mercy Ministries transformed their life and restored their hope, which is Mercy Ministries' key objective.
Mercy Ministries of America (http://www.mercyministries.org) currently has homes in Monroe, La.; Nashville, Tenn.; and St. Louis, Mo. Mercy Ministries has global affiliates in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Peru. For more information, visit www.mercyministries.org. To schedule an interview with a Mercy Ministries' representative, contact Jonathan Burns at (615) 522-7016, or via email at email@example.com.
The Buzz Oates Charitable Foundation is dedicated to supporting community faith-based organizations like Mercy Ministries. Its founder, Marvin "Buzz" Oates, is Chairman Emeritus of The Buzz Oates Group of Companies, a fully integrated commercial real estate development company located in Sacramento, Calif., which offers a single point of contact for a full range of construction, real estate and property management services.

GTA ads can remain on buses and trains in the Denver area.
As reported by the Rocky Mountain News, directors of the Regional Transportation District (RTD) rejected a campaign led by the Parents Television Council and the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood to ban ads for games rated M and above.
Similar bans are already in place in Boston and Portland, Oregon. As in Boston, it was a series of ads for GTA: Vice City Stories which prompted the call for future restrictions. Currently the RTD only excludes advertising for tobacco products.

| 10°C Dublin
GARDAI had to remove five young men from a bus returning home from the All-Ireland final after the coach driver refused to travel further because of ongoing abuse.
The driver of the privately hired bus -- who asked not to be identified -- said the behaviour of some of the 53 young men and women he transported from Dublin to Nenagh, Co Tipperary, was disgraceful.
He claims he suffered abuse and feared an accident would take place as he drove south along the M7.
"It was a journey from hell. I had enough by the time we were coming to Portlaoise. It was relentless. They were throwing cans and missiles were flying."
After the garda officers took the five men off the bus and spoke to them, the group made their way back to Nenagh on a Bus Eireann bus.
"I was actually afraid that one of them would do something that would cause me to swerve," the driver added.
It is understood no prosecutions will arise.
