Inclusive Holiday Marketing: How to Appeal to Today's Culturally Diverse Generation of Students
With Thanksgiving almost upon us, many marketers are in full bore prep mode for Christmas season. We don't need to, but we'll warn you anyway… we are about to enter maximum Christmas saturation.
While today you may notice some introductory hints of the holiday at your favorite retailers, before long, those hints will turn into a wall-to-wall, inescapable barrage of imagery featuring good ole' Saint Nick, his reindeer, Christmas trees, Christmas stockings and everything else clad in red and green.
As we wrote in our last post, Americans spend trillions of dollars during the holiday season. So, from a marketing perspective, it's just smart business to go all in on the popular Christian holiday. Right?
While that may be true for traditional retailers, the story might be different when your primary audience is substantially younger. If you're a higher ed marketer trying to appeal to the disposition of the quickly growing Generation Z, it may be wise to rethink the traditional strategy.
Generation Z Lives & Breathes Diversity
Gen Z is the most diverse generation in history. Shifting your marketing strategy to be more inclusive will engage them more than all the Instagram ads you can buy. – GenZInsights.com
Roughly 7 out of 10 Gen Z respondents (71 percent) in a recent Facebook-commissioned study replied that they would like to see more diversity in advertising. Facebook IQ, the social network's research division, noted that: "Strategists can engage this new generation by developing messaging that embraces diversity, inclusion and adaptable lifestyles."
The takeaway for anyone who wants to gain the trust of Gen Zers is to be more socially conscious in your marketing approach. And that's precisely the type of messaging that's generally lacking in the time of year that traditionally belongs to Santa.
What can you, as a higher ed marketer, do to become more "woke" (see: inclusive) in your holiday-season marketing appeals? We've got a few suggestions to ponder.
Reign in your holiday bias
It's safe to say that an overwhelming number of Americans love Christmas. And, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
But many college campuses are melting pots, with people from a number of different cultures, religions and traditions. That's not surprising considering that the U.S. annually hosts more than a million international students from countries such as China, India, South Korea and Saudi Arabia. In these countries, Christmas is not the predominant celebration this time of year.
And American-born students aren't a homogeneous group, either.
There are a number of cultural holidays that are celebrated in December, in the US and around the world: Hanukkah (Judaism), Kwanzaa (pan-African), Bodhi Day (Buddhism), Pancha Ganapati (Hinduism), Fiesta of Our Lady of Guadalupe (Mexican), St Lucia Day (Swedish), Boxing Day (Australian, Canadian, English, Irish), Omisoka (Japanese), Yule (Pagan). If you celebrate any of these holidays, it's hard not to feel overshadowed by the annual immersion into all things Christmas by the American public at large.
That's not to say that Americans of the Christian faith are intentionally (or, even unintentionally) disrespectful of other cultures. It's just that the overwhelming focus on Christmas tends to make members of other faiths and cultures feel like "the other."
That goes directly against the ethos of the youngest generation. So, if you want to appeal to Gen Z, you'd be well served by exploring how to approach holiday messaging in a more culturally sensitive manner.
Mix up that traditional color palette
One way to even out holiday season imagery is to eschew the traditional red-and-green and blue-and-white color schemes. There are other colors in your color wheel.
You may consider leaning into more of your school colors. Some pastels or soft tropical colors can communicate warmth – a welcome respite from the cold, winter hues. Certain earth tones could also strike the right chord.
Here's a great post that speaks to some awesome non-traditional holiday color palettes.
Value-based, rather than holiday-based messaging
One way to not step on anyone's holiday toes is to forgo holiday-based messaging in the first place. Instead of centering your message on gift-giving or tree-lighting, speak to the values of generosity and community.
Drastic, we know. But, if you're afraid that the pitchforks and "war on Christmas" mantras will come flying out… let's remember that you're aiming the message at the youngest generation, not the older ones who may find the absence of a "Merry Christmas" more jarring.
Besides, the essence of the holiday season is to make others feel good. And that's exactly what you're doing when you take into account Gen Z's preference for inclusivity and diversity.
Use more inclusive imagery
If your campus is one of those melting pots, this couldn't be easier. Just take some candid photos of your real students out and about on the quad. If not, you may have to do some extra work by hunting photo sharing sites like Pixabay, Flickr or Pexels.
Regardless, you want to paint a picture that meets your target audience expectations and ideals. And, in the case of Gen Z, a homogeneous cast of characters just won't cut it.
There are additional pitfalls to consider. For example, you don't just want to add one culturally diverse photo into a collage of images portraying mostly white students. Or, worse, include one student of color in a large non-diverse group. That may give the appearance of tokenism – fulfilling a requirement with a half-hearted attempt at being seen as diverse.
It may be best to institute a policy requiring images on your school website and in other marketing collateral to be representative of your campus' diverse populations. You may also want to go further and undertake a review of images currently being displayed and making a concerted effort to bring the site in compliance with your new policy.

At some point in my life as an ER doc in a small town I started noticing sirens...but only when I'm within a day or two of working a shift. The rest of the time my brain blessedly filters them out completely. I hadn't noticed any since leaving Yellowknife, and then we got off the plane in Ketapang, in Indonesian Borneo, and started driving towards Sukadana, where we'd spend the next 3 weeks doing clinical teaching at ASRI's hospital, which has the only ER in the area.
Some part of my subconscious had clearly switched over to "implicated in the medical system" mode...because all of a sudden I was noticing ambulance sirens as we passed through town.
And then we saw this truck up ahead. Darcy counted somewhere between 20 and 30 teen-aged students packed in--flirting and moving around, clearly being delivered home at the end of the school day. Suddenly, I was visualizing rural trauma rooms I've worked in, reflexively rehearsing what I would do in a low-resource setting if things went wrong with this truck.
And I felt pretty glad to be heading to ASRI with one of Yellowknife's pediatricians to see what we can do to assess and improve the game of ASRI's hardworking docs--because inevitably they will see some badness--and we want to make sure that they're as ready as they can be.

Psychorocka 389
The most up to date version of the decks I am currently using. View each deck for an indepth explanation of how they work as well as why each card is included.
Sword, Axe and Bow fulfills the combat role for both decks providing a ton of offensive output and strength along with plenty of Ranged characters and attachments that boost or as well as various reduction abilities targeted at foes. It also features several combat tricks or combos alongside strong unique combat capable allies that are easily played thanks to plenty of resource acceleration.
Rings of Power fulfills the questing and support roles for both decks by focusing on the undeniably potent power of Vilya alongside the Noldor Discard mechanic. The deck builds up an army of allies who generate a ton of while many of them are also combat handy in a pinch. Just like the combat deck, this deck also features a few ranged characters who can help the combat deck generate even more strength when need be. Plenty of support roles are also filled by this deck as it can also heal characters for either deck, provide card draw or threat reduction for either deck or even deck manipulation for either deck.

Our implant services include:
Treatment Planning This may be the most important step of the entire dental implant process. Taking the time to evaluate the unique presentation and desires of each patient is essential to provide every patient with the treatment that best suits their needs.
Inter-disciplinary Treatment There are times when a patient would benefit from the services of an oral health specialist. We have long-standing established relationships with excellent local dental specialty clinicians that offer our patients the same high standards of care we strive for.
Implant Maintenance Once your dental implant restoration is completed, it is important to keep the area clean and infection free. Dental implants can accumulate plaque and tartar just as teeth can. Whether you have just one tooth replaced by an implant or several, a professional cleaning schedule will be necessary to keep your implants healthy. The time interval for these professional cleanings will be determined by your individual needs.

Accident solicitor rides for life
Mike Clarke, a specialist personal injury solicitor and partner in charge of Slee Blackwell's Bideford office, is a qualified advanced motorcyclist and has been riding since the age of 17. He is a member of Devon Freewheelers EVS, a charity which provides urgent and emergency transport of vital medical supplies such as medicine, premature baby milk, blood, human tissue, and donor organs to hospitals throughout the South West. This service covers night-time and weekends when normal delivery procedures are either not available to the NHS, or are prohibitively expensive.
Mike says "My entire legal life has been spent dealing with injuries and my wife works in a local GP practice, so I am very conscious of the service that the NSH provides. I have always wanted to put my years of biking experience to good use and Devon Freewheelers gives me that opportunity. The totally free service we provide to the local NHS saves it a huge amount of money each year on courier, ambulance and driver costs- money which can then be ploughed back into medical care, for the benefit of the local community. Our riders are all certified as advanced riders, with a wealth of combined experience behind them. They ride at short notice, at all hours and in all weathers to help, because that is what they feel strongly about.
Riders use their own bikes for the majority of their work, often not even claiming the cost of fuel from the charity. We also have 5 emergency bikes, fully kitted with blue lights, sirens and specialist containers for transport of human tissue and blood. These used for full-on emergency deliveries.
This is the most satisfying motorcycling work I have come across and I am pleased that Slee Blackwell has helped to sponsor that work."

At his photography exhibit, at the Kochi Muziris Biennale, Vicky Roy focuses on rag-pickers at the New Delhi railway station. Once upon a time, he was one of them
Photos: At The New Delhi railway station; Vicky Roy
By Shevlin Sebastian
In a photograph, at an exhibition titled 'Street Dreams', by the New Delhi-based photographer Vicky Roy, at the Kochi Muziris Biennale, a nude six-year-old boy is about to have a bath, holding a bar of soap in his right hand. Behind him, on the wet platform, at the New Delhi railway station, two boys are sitting on their haunches, and washing clothes. On a cement ledge, a twelve-year-old girl, with twin ponytails, appears to be smoking a beedi. Next to her, two workmen are using wet mops to clean the outside of an air-conditioned bogie. But one of them has turned around to look at the camera. The image has been taken from the railway yard.
"This is usually where all the street children, who loiter near the station, have their bath," says Vicky, who uses a Sony a7R II camera. "As for the morning ablutions, they jump into a toilet in an empty bogie and do the needful."
In other images, you can see children begging, playing with each other, having a nap on the platform floor or selling helium balloons.
This was a world to which the 32-year-old Vicky belonged once upon a time. In the late 1990s, he was staying with his uncle and grandmother at their home in Purulia, West Bengal. One day when his uncle slapped him, Vicky got incensed. He ran to the railway station. There, he jumped into the unreserved compartment of the Purushottam Express, which came daily at 8.25 a.m. Nineteen hours later, he reached Delhi. Vicky had nowhere to go. So, he sat at one corner of the platform and cried.
In the morning a few children approached him. "They gave me rice and dal, to eat," says Vicky, "After that, I explained to them why I had run away from home. The children said, 'Don't worry you can be with us'. I spent the next two days watching what they were doing."
Whenever a Rajdhani or a Shatabdi Express terminated at the platform the children would go to the pantry car to get food. Soon, he started working with them as a rag picker. At night they went to a shelter near the railway station where they got a blanket for Rs 1.
It was not an easy life. On the platform, there were criminals who were mostly pickpockets. "Sometimes, they would steal the money which we got through begging," says Vicky. "If a passenger lost any luggage, they would give us a beating, even though we may be innocent."
Five months later, Vicky got a job of washing dishes at a roadside eatery. One day, Sanjay Srivastava, a volunteer from an NGO, Salaam Balaak Trust (SBT), met Vicky and said, "You should be in school."
Vicky agreed and was taken to the SBT. Soon, he was enrolled in Class six of the Government Boys' Middle school at Paharganj. The years went by. But in the Class 10 public exams, he got poor marks. "My teacher told me that since I am not very good in studies, I should opt for something else," he says.
Vicky expressed an interest in photography. Initially, through the Trust, he worked as an assistant to a British photographer Dixie Benjamin. Thereafter, Vicky studied photography at the Triveni Kala Sangam and attached himself to a portrait photographer Anay Mann, with whom he is still working on particular assignments.
In 2007, Vicky held his first solo exhibition, 'Street Dreams', with the support of the British High Commission. The exhibition was well-received and travelled to Britain, South Africa and Vietnam.
It was a turning point for Vicky. For the first time, he was treated with respect. "As a rag picker, I had seen the worst side of human behaviour," he says, with a smile.
In 2008 the Maybach Foundation selected him to shoot the reconstruction of the World Trade Centre in New York. As part of the programme, he undertook a six-month course in documentary photography at the International Centre for Photography, at New York.
In 2013, Vicky's monograph, 'Home Street.Home' was published by Nazar Foundation at the second edition of Delhi Photo Festival. He received a fellowship in 2014 from MIT Media Lab, Boston to study technology in photography. In 2016, he was on the Forbes 30 Under 30 in Asia and in 2018, he was in Vogue Magazine's 40 under 40.
Vicky finally went back home in 2004. "A lot of people gathered near our home," he says. "Many were crying. My family went through a lot of worry and stress. But they were so happy that I had come back. They did not have enough money to go in search of me. And they never imagined I would go all the way to Delhi."
Meanwhile, in the past few years, Vicky has gone all over the country giving talks about his life and career to colleges and corporates. Thanks to this steady income, he has brought his mother a three-bedroom house. Sadly, his father passed away in 2008. "I am helping my brothers and sisters," says Vicky, who goes often to Purulia. "Two of my sisters are studying in college. The economic situation in my family has steadily improved. I have to give thanks to the trustees of the SBT and my mentor Anay."

Fatz Southern Kitchen
AAF, MarCom, Communicator Awards, Telly
Fatz Southern Kitchen (formerly FATZ Cafe), a regional restaurant chain with locations around the Southeast, brought in Infinity Marketing to help increase the impact of their social media efforts. Specifically, Fatz wanted to grow their audience and increase activity on their Facebook page, generate interest in menu items, and encourage customers to interact with their content.
For the first phase of the solution, we focused primarily on Facebook and Yelp. The Facebook program utilized a comprehensive content calendar that extended the Fatz Southern Kitchen branding message and supported engagement with a wide range of content. This included promotional activities, menu items, and both local and community activities.
Menu items were highlighted in an innovative and inexpensive video campaign that featured social media posts from the voice of the food itself. The campaign, "Where the Food Speaks for Itself," created humorous and engaging personalities for each dish that were presented as both graphic and video posts.
The campaign drove increases in engagement and was successful in increasing awareness and sales for limited-time menu items. In addition, the "Food Speaks" campaign won numerous awards from MarCom, AAF, the Communicator Awards, and the Telly Awards.

Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself
Matthew 3:11-4:13
Nate Heitzig
|Matthew 3 (NKJV™)
|"I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
|"His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."
|Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him.
|And John tried to prevent Him, saying, "I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?"
|But Jesus answered and said to him, "Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he allowed Him.
|When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him.
|And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
|Matthew 4 (NKJV™)
|Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
|And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry.
|Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, "If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread."
|But He answered and said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'"
|Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple,
|and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: 'He shall give His angels charge over you,' and, 'In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.'"
|Jesus said to him, "It is written again, 'You shall not tempt the LORD your God.'"
|Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.
|And he said to Him, "All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me."
|Then Jesus said to him, "Away with you, Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.'"
|Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.
|Now when Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, He departed to Galilee.
|And leaving Nazareth, He came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali,

Wouldn't it be great if temptation disappeared when you became a believer? Following the Lord doesn't make you exempt from temptation and sin; it actually makes you a bigger target. In this message, Nate Heitzig discusses the seriousness of sin and the hope we have when we trust the Lord to fight on our behalf.

Ensure the smooth implementation of the project and protect the normal operation of video wall screen. The on-site installation of the video wall must meet the following environmental conditions:
First, the installation requirements
1) The ground should be smooth and firm, strong bearing capacity, and is not easily deformed.
2) The base of the cabinet is generally placed on the anti-static floor to ensure that the ground can withstand long-term gravity without deformation.
Second, the requirements on operation console (room) decoration and equipment location
1) The operation control computer should be placed opposite to the video wall, so the operator can view the screen directly and debug the system, like color adjustment and other operation. If there is a specially cut off operation control room, there should be transparent glass between the operation control room and the large-screen display room to facilitate the operator's viewing.
2) The graphics controller should be placed in the cabinet next to or behind video wall. It should be as close to the control PC as possible to reduce the RGB trace distance.
Third, the light requirements
1) It is recommended to use the built-in down light, the screen should be avoid to be exposure directly to the strong light, keep the light 3 meters away from the screen, so the screen has a better display effect.
2) If there is large window in the operation room, please use a dark curtain to avoid direct sunlight.
Fourth, requirements on Cabling and Trunking
1) Weak cables (RGB, video, network, serial port, mouse and keyboard extensions, etc.) should be routed away from strong cables to avoid signal interference. If you use trunking, the cables should be separated with several trunking.
2) If it is fixed floor such as floor tile, or composite wood floor, the signal cable (computer RGB signal, video signal), which means the distance from the control computer to the graphic controller, should be be as short as possible.
3) If it is an anti-static floor, please leave a outlet for network cable from the floor.
Fifth, power supply
Considering that the system may encounter special currents that may cause breakpoints and re-energize, the video wall unit itself has a power protection design to ensure normal and safe operation of the device.
1) The power supply of the system is AC 220V ±5%; a three-eye socket with a protective earth wire is a must.
2) The video wall system, the graphics controller and the control PC require the same phase power supply.
3) The power supply voltage should be stable and reliable, especially to prevent power-on immediately after a power failure. Therefore, in principle, the power supply of the splicing system must be powered by the corresponding power UPS.
4) The system equipment should have a good ground connection, grounding resistance <2Ω, to prevent equipment to be damaged when encountering special conditions such as lightning.
Six, system environment

Print Recipe
Paul enters the men-only Bega show cake competition using his grandmother's recipe. He calls it: Nanna West's Murrurundi mountain mud cake
Preheat oven to 160C, grease and line a 23cm round, spring-form cake tin.
Sieve flours and cocoa. (Don't skimp on this step! Your cake and those who eat it will appreciate the effort).
Combine the chocolate and butter together in a bowl that will sit comfortably on a pot of gently simmering water. You could be really lazy and just put of block of chocolate in with a block of butter, though roughly breaking/cutting up both up before hand will speed things along.
Whisk together eggs and sugar, by hand if you're feeling particularly energetic or by machine if you're like the rest of us. Keep going until they look smooth and light. Pour in the milk and mix until combined.
Sieve flour cocoa mix again into cake batter, this one you could probably skip, just don't tell Nan that I said that. Gently combine until smooth.
Fold through melted chocolate and butter (reserve bowl), with a pinch of Murray River pink salt.
Pour the mixture into cake tin and let it all rest in the fridge for 10 minutes or so.
Once rested get that baby in the oven for an hour and a half, give it a turn around halfway. The cake is ready when an inserted skewer comes out dotted with a few moist crumbs.
Let the cake stand for a few minutes, then transfer from the tin to a cooling rack.
While the cake is cooling you can make the icing. Using the same bowl as before, melt the chocolate. Mix together the butter, cocoa and icing sugar until smooth. Slowly add the milk, then the melted chocolate. Beat it all together until the mix is smooth and fluffy
Once the cake is cool, spread icing mixture evenly on top. For a final touch, Nan used to give the whole thing a light dusting of cocoa.

If you are a newbie into web hosting, then you might have heard about shared hosting. This is the cheapest and most convenient web hosting option for hosting websites. Without any sort of technical knowledge, you can launch your website. Many times when you buy hosting, we get tempted by the bunch of offers and features that shared hosting provides. In fact some times it looks more tempting than VPS. But is it really worth to try shared hosting? Does it really make sense to get tempted by shared hosting offering? In this article, I am going to explain 10 most common myths about shared hosting and will figure out the truth behind it.
Well, if you are a casual user, you may not need to read about the myths as this will hardly affect you. But if you are a determined user and think about long terms goal, this article may help you. If you are really serious about websites than you should know about these myths which will help you not to get tempted by fake feature list in shared hosting. Please note that ? Unlimited ? is an imaginary term. In this world, everything is ?Limited?. If someone claims about ?Unlimited? for sure he or she must be Faking.
1.Unlimited Space
This is one of the main features that every web host list in their shared hosting offer. But the truth is that no shared hosting provides unlimited space. All web host restricts the number of files that you can host. So the hidden truth is that they provide unlimited space but does not offer unlimited files. At max, I have seen a web host offer 240000 files in their shared hosting. Other big names like GoDaddy, Hostgator restricts the user to host only up to 100000-150000 files. You hardly can host 2-3 websites and you will be out of space.
2.Unlimited Bandwidth
Companies talk about unlimited bandwidth but they never offer unlimited speed. What I mean to say is that bandwidth is unlimited but whenever you reach certain bandwidth, they will throttle the speed at which you can download or upload a file. For example, if your host allows 100 GB to download or upload per day. But the speed at which you can download and upload is limited to 512 KBPS. So though you have unlimited bandwidth you can never use it due to throttled internet speed.
Also Read: Different hosting type explained
3.Free SSL
Web hosting companies promote these features like anything as if they are saving you so much money by providing free SSL. Are they providing paid SSL like Comodo or Rapid SSL for free? No. They never provide that. They offer free SSL certificate which is freely available in the market. Most of the companies give Lets Encrypt SSL which is a free SSL. So including the free SSL feature in the feature list is cheating.
4.Unlimited Websites & Email
Again this is one more lie. How could you host unlimited websites when you have limitations number of files. You can just host a couple of websites and you are out of space. So unlimited websites in shared hosting is a big myth. Don?t fall under trap if some company provides you unlimited website feature in their shared hosting.
5. 99.9 % Uptime
The main reason why people get frustrated in shared hosting is because of downtime. Companies promise for 99.9 % uptime but if you even get 60-70% uptime you should consider yourself lucky. In shared hosting, daily you will face the error? Resource limit is reached? and this is applicable for even big web hosting companies. I see some people don?t even know why this error occurs. They usually feel that there might be some problem with their website or database. But in actual it is the problem with the host and unfortunately, no web host accept this lie.
6.Free Migration
99% web hosting company who promises free migrations, only migrates one website. If you want to migrate more websites it is chargeable and the charges are very high compared to the market standard. Also please make a note that after migration if some problem occurs, they won't solve the problem. Instead, they will blame you. Personally, I never take their help to migrate websites as most of the cases they create so many problems.
7.Free Domain
What the heck is this? Free Domain. Really? They offer free domain at the cost of the hosting service. What I mean to say is that they save some money by downgrading their hosting service and with that cost, they offer a free domain. So it's not free at all. You are paying for it in your hosting invoice.
8.Free CDN
Again, A big lie. No one offers free CDN. In fact, no one can provide free CDN considering the cost of CDN service. No companies provide paid CDN for free. All web host provides Cloudflare free CDN which is freely available in the market. There is no separate settings/configuration that web host need to do. So when they are saying that they are offering free CDN, I still don?t understand what they offer. Because nothing is needed for them to offer CDN. Any user can do that by themselves.
9. 24X7 free support
Oh My God! The support was the biggest nightmare for me when I was using shared hosting. No support staff will respond quickly if you are using shared hosting. They will always give preference to VPS or dedicated server user. It makes sense as VPS and shared hosting is costly and they deserve quick service, But what I don?t like is that they say 24X7 prompt support and they never do that. Why promise when you can't fulfil that? If you raise a support ticket also, they never put that into priority and will take forever to reply.
10. It's Cheap
Oh really? The cheapest shared hosting offering I saw is Rs 30/ Month. But have you ever thought how much you are loosing by opting this kind of shared hosting? No one host websites for fun. Right? Everyone wants some source of income from a website, be it a Blog or an eCommerce website. Do you know if your website cannot respond in 3 seconds you are loosing more than 50% of your visitors? Those visitors might have given some business which you are loosing by using shared hosting. In fact, not only visitors but you are loosing much more. Let's list it below.
? Losing potential traffic
? Losing good ranking in search engine
? Potential revenue loss and loss of sales
? Bitter customer experience as no one likes a slow website
? Security threat. As the shared server is used by many users, your website will never be secure.
? Loss of your self-confidence.
Wrapping Up!
That?s all guys I have in this article. I believe I have enough here to make you understand what is a myth and what is the truth in shared hosting. Please don?t fall under the trap of shared hosting vendor. Invest some little more amount and go for VPS. I know it not always feasible for beginners to go for VPS due to the higher cost. But if you are serious about your website and thinking of the long term, a little bit of investment will yield your great outcome.

Some days it's not even worth chewing through the restraints.
Alan, there is quite a bit of good advise here....
Personally, I never did C&S, I wanted the drawn comb as a resource to give back to the hive. For my first several years, we just did a 2F hand crank, when we started hitting 500lb at a pull the "labor of love" became an exhaustive marathon... And at that point jumped to a 10F motorized.
If you are going to stay 4 hives, I would look at the 3/6 Frame, many already mentioned. The reason, if you run 9 frames in a 10F box for honey production, it works mathematically. Twelve loads and all the hives are harvested. Just my 2cents...
Yep, great info on this thread. I thought I would share my experience.......
After much research and re-reading of this thread, I ordered a cheap, 2 frame power extractor online. I figured, for $200, with my limited use, it would be fine. I received it, used it to extract my 12 shallow frames, and the variable speed controlled stopped working before I finished. It got the job done, but full on or full off is a little hairy. I am working on returning that unit.
Yesterday I placed an order with Maxant for their 4 frame power extractor. If for some crazy reason I outgrow the 4 frame basket I can upgrade to the 9 frame basket. Life is short, I can't take it with me, might as well just do it. And I SHOULD have bought the Maxant from the beginning! Turns out some of you folks know a thing or two! I will be set for 2020 and onward, and I will loan it out to a couple friends who keep bees.
The good news? This past weekend I harvested my first 20 pounds of honey. I'll have plenty to share with family and friends which for now is my only goal. It's quite a satisfying feeling!
All of this basically reminds of one thing....
During most all gold rushes, people who made the most money were - the "shovel" sellers and various "service providers".
All the same.
Former "smoker boy". Classic, square 12 frame Dadants >> Long hive/Short frame/chemical-free experimentations.
Anyway, it'd be $12x18 hives = $216.
Just a single treatment?
Not going that way.
I need these money for the various kids' programs (don't even start me on the college cost discussions) - NOT the silly bugs.
My bug program always has been free and it will continue being free.
That is the whole point of it - it must stay FREE and provide us with some return in bee products, in exchange for my time spent.

About Book
Book Description
The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a structure for describing and interchanging metadata on the Web--anything from library catalogs and worldwide directories to bioinformatics, Mozilla internal data structures, and knowledge bases for artificial intelligence projects. RDF provides a consistent framework and syntax for describing and querying data, making it possible to share website descriptions more easily. RDF's capabilities, however, have long been shrouded by its reputation for complexity and a difficult family of specifications. Practical RDF breaks through this reputation with immediate and solvable problems to help you understand, master, and implement RDF solutions. Practical RDF explains RDF from the ground up, providing real-world examples and descriptions of how the technology is being used in applications like Mozilla, FOAF, and Chandler, as well as infrastructure you can use to build your own applications. This book cuts to the heart of the W3C's often obscure specifications, giving you tools to apply RDF successfully in your own projects. The first part of the book focuses on the RDF specifications. After an introduction to RDF, the book covers the RDF specification documents themselves, including RDF Semantics and Concepts and Abstract Model specifications, RDF constructs, and the RDF Schema. The second section focuses on programming language support, and the tools and utilities that allow developers to review, edit, parse, store, and manipulate RDF/XML. Subsequent sections focus on RDF's data roots, programming and framework support, and practical implementation and use of RDF and RDF/XML. If you want to know how to apply RDF to information processing, Practical RDF is for you. Whether your interests lie in large-scale information aggregation and analysis or in smaller-scale projects like weblog syndication, this book will provide you with a solid foundation for working with RDF.

The Molecular Mechanisms of Regulatory T cell Immunosuppression
Ever since Regulatory T cells (T-Regs) were first defined as peripheral CD4+ T cells that express the interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor alpha chain (IL-2Rα), there have been intensive efforts to determine the molecular mechanisms whereby this minor subset of CD4+ T cells (~ 5-10%) nonspecifically suppresses all potential effector T cells, whether reactive to self or non-self antigens. Multiple possible molecular mechanisms have been implicated, including the scavenging of IL-2 via the expression of high densities of IL-2Rs, the inhibition of antigen presentation via CTLA-4 molecules leading to decreased IL-2 production, the activation of intracellular cAMP thereby suppressing both IL-2 production and action, and the production of suppressive cytokines such as IL-10 and Tumor Growth Factor-beta, to list a few. However, the field has thus far failed to come to a consensus, such that some investigators have now asserted that many molecular mechanisms may be operative, in fact that perhaps all of the described mechanisms may account for the suppressive effects of these cells, acting either simultaneously or sequentially. Thus, this Research Topic is focused on articles that can shed some new light on the molecular mechanisms responsible for T-Reg immunosuppression.

Corporations report measurement errors to their customers all the time. Here's a simple two step test to determine the difference between measurement errors and management issues –
- If the number of times you've unearthed measurement errors in your business is <=2, they are likely just errors.
- If you've found more than 2 errors and if the errors repeatedly favor you over the customer, then they aren't measurement errors. We are looking at management issues that are likely manifesting themselves in everything you do.
For example, I've been a Comcast subscriber for 13 months now. I've called or live chatted with customer service to report measurement errors 9 times in 6 of the 13 months. And, each time, the error involved Comcast charging me more than they should have. Hence, not a measurement error but a management issue.
As a customer, keep a lookout for repeated measurement errors that count against you. Such businesses have management issues that are going to pop up in the future as well.
And, as a builder of products and services, if you find yourself dealing with repeated measurement errors, take a long, hard look at the incentives and culture you've created.

As a person with Asperger's, I have discovered that no matter how hard I try to be courteous and polite, sometimes I say things that sound tactless without knowing it. Whenever I tripped, I would be acutely embarrassed and withdraw as a defense mechanism. This was often mistaken for indifference or insensitivity, making the situation worse. Society places a high value on human interactions and the autistic often fail because those on the spectrum lack, what I call, social improvisation.
Conversation is like jazz, someone takes a theme and passes it to another, who changes it and passes it back. The autistic can imitate themes but not grasp the nuances or their proper use. It's frustrating for someone who only knows three chords and two songs. They are repeated without variation as a result, introductions became stilted, conversation focuses on a narrow subject, body language is misinterpreted. Close friends and family accept my limited repertoire. with kindness and understanding but encountering strangers is fraught with anxiety. Do I know their music?
The tone deafness of autistics comes from a lack of mirror neurons that allow one to learn and retain information.
After years of walking through this social mine field, I resigned myself to being shut out of conversations because I was comparing myself by neuronormal standards and failing. As I looked closer into this analogy, I discovered those with ASD know more than three chords, in fact, our internal music is vast but fundamentally different from others because of the way our brains are wired.
An extreme example can be seen in synesthesia, where the senses blend. Colors have sound or names have taste. Until recently scientists scoffed at such claims but now see it as a legitimate phenomenon occasionally found in those on the spectrum. The discovery of savant skills are the new and unknown pathways of the brain.
Bach was famous for using staid old musical forms to weave new intricate melodies. Jackson Pollock dripped paint on canvas in patterns so complex, computers using advanced algorithms are needed to tell the real from the fakes.
How easy it is for me to separate each orchestral part of Bach's Toccata and fugue in D as seen in Fantasia. One long look at Jacksons splotches and I can see the fractals buried in the color scheme but when talking to people, I can't tell whether I made a clever remark or insulted someone.
Those on the spectrum may suck at the daily songs of conversations but we excel at seeing the beautiful, complex world around us.

|Welcome to the Stoney Point Field Homeowners Association
Stoney Point Vintage Airfield, a private airport located between Georgia 400 and Stoney Point Road, is a time capsule of aviation's past. The small 2500-foot grass runway is home to a dozen or so antique aircraft that are lovingly cared for and preserved for future generations by their pilot owners. The Airfield and contiguous lots comprise approximately 75 acres of land. With lot's averaging nearly 4 acres each, the airport has an undeveloped quality and plenty of woods and meadows for the resident deer, rabbits, geese, and owls. Stoney Point Airfield is owned, collectively, by the 18 pilot families who base their aircraft at the field. The airfield also serves as a buffer between higher density residential and industrial developments to the west and lower density residential developments to the east of the airfield.
Many South Forsyth residents are surprised to learn that an active airport runway exists just a stone's throw from their neighborhoods. However, when the weather is nice outside, Stoney Point Pilot's will take to the air to the delight of passersby and long-time neighbors who much prefer the pleasing rumble of a radial aircraft engine to the shrill whine of a leaf blower.
Stoney Point Pilots regularly donate their time to give "first flights" to Boy Scout, Girl Scout and other youth groups from Forsyth County. Stoney Point Pilots were instrumental in providing early relief to the victims of Hurricane Katrina via the Angel Flight pilot network. Pilots from Stoney Point delivered thousands of pounds of much-needed supplies and then flew storm victims back to Atlanta where they could be reunited with their families.
Stoney Point Airfield might one day prove to be a valuable staging point for relief flights should Forsyth County be subject to a natural disaster. In recent years Stoney Point Airfield has served as an emergency landing strip for several aircraft in distress that might otherwise have had to land on busy highways or other more dangerous locations. One such incident occurred when a U.S. Marine Corps Super Cobra helicopter made an emergency landing at Stoney Point Airfield because of mechanical problems. The aircraft was repaired the next day and flown on to its home base at Dobbins Army Airfield. A letter of commendation from the Corps was delivered to Stoney Point pilots for their assistance and cooperation in providing a safe haven for the aircraft and flight crew after the incident.
Stoney Point Vintage Airfield reminds all those who visit of an era when beautiful fabric-covered aircraft flew from grass runways and drifted lazily across the skies. For the children of Forsyth County families who stop at the Airfield gate and watch Stearman Bi-planes or Piper Super Cubs take to the air, the Airfield is a reminder that dreams really can take flight.

The chief witness against Lindsay was a man of the name of Welbank, an accomplice, who was admitted as evidence for the Crown. Being so admitted, he was bound to disclose the whole truth relative to the charge in question, without regard to the consequences to himself, and he could not refuse to answer any question on the ground that it would show him to have been engaged in the same theft for which Lindsay was tried. The Court, however, permitted Welbank to decline answering many of the questions put to him, on the plea that he would be thereby criminating himself, and thus let his evidence go to the jury in an imperfect state.
We think this was clearly wrong, and consequently that the conviction was improperly obtained.

(10.) Joint Opinion of the Attorney and Solicitor General, Sir John Campbell and Sir R. M. Rolfe, on the illegality of an Ordinance passed by the Governor and Council of Lower Canada, directing certain persons to be transported to Bermuda • and detained there.
Temple, August 6,1838.
Hy Lord,—In answer to your Lordship's letter of the 4th instant, requesting our opinion whether there is any objection, in point of law, to the confirmation by Her Majesty in Council of an ordinance passed by the Earl of Durham and the Special Council of Lower Canada, on the 28th June last, entitled, "An Ordinance to provide for the security of the Province of Lower Canada," we have to state that, in our opinion, so much of this ordinance as directs the class of persons therein first enumerated to be transported to Bermuda, and to be kept under restraint there, is beyond the power of the Governor and Special Council, and void; but that all the rest of the ordinance is within their power and valid.
The imperial stat. 1 Vict. c. 9, s. 2, authorizes the Governor and the Special Council to make such laws or ordinances for the peace, welfare, and good government of the province of Lower Canada, as the Legislature of Lower Canada as there constituted was empowered to make, with certain exceptions which do not affect the validity of the ordinance in question. The Legislature of Lower Canada, as constituted by 31 Geo. 3, e. 31, had conferred upon it a general sovereign legislative power within the province, and it is expressly enacted that all Acts passed by this legislature shall be valid and binding, to all intents and purposes, within the province in which the same shall have been passed.
We conceive, therefore, that the old legislature might have lawfully passed an Act for banishing from the province the first class of persons described in this ordinance, and enacting that if any of this class or of the second class should return to the province without the leave of the Governor, they should be deemed guilty of treason, and being convicted thereof should suffer death. This could not be done by the proclamation of the Governor, but it is an act of legislation for which there are precedents in the Parliaments of Great Britain and of Ireland. There is no pretence for saying that if this part of the ordinance really were put in force the parties who suffer would be put to death without trial. Before they could suffer they must be indicted for having returned to the province without leave of the Governor, which by law is made treason, and they could only suffer on being duly convicted of the offence laid to their charge. Of course we are only considering the regularity of such a proceeding in strict law, without giving any opinion as to its being expedient or proper.
With respect to that part of the ordinance which is to be executed beyond the limits of the province of Lower Canada, we are of opinion that it would acquire no force by being confirmed by Her Majesty, and we humbly conceive that in confirming the ordinance by Her Majesty that part of it which exceeds the power of the Governor and Special Council ought to be expressly excepted.
The Lord Glenelg, J. Campbell.

(11.) Joint Opinion of the Attorney and Solicitor General, Sir John Jervis and Sir John Romilly, on the power of Police Constables to arrest in certain cases without Warrant. 1849.
Case.—Whether police constables are authorized to arrest and detain, without warrant, persons charged with the offences mentioned in the 64th and 65th sections of the Police Act (2 & 3 Vict, c. 47), upon the mere statement of the party making the charge, unsupported by any corroborative circumstances or evidence; or under what circumstances such arrests without warrant are justifiable?
Opinion.—This question presents difficulties which can only be solved by prudence on the part of the officer. On the one hand, it would be highly improper to act in cases where the consequence is so serious upon mere suspicion; while on the other, if the police were only to apprehend parties charged with such offences upon the view, or in cases where corroborating evidence was forthcoming, offenders would escape and the public would be dissatisfied. Upon the strict construction of the statute no corroborative evidence is essential. If the constable has "good cause" to suspect, he may arrest upon the statement of one witness only. But whether the cause of suspicion is good or not must in such case depend upon circumstances. For instance, if an interval unexplained by the accuser have elapsed between the assault and the complaint, the constable should not act without a warrant. So of course, if in the inquiry the constable have reason to doubt the truth of the complainant's story, or believe that he has entrapped the accused for the purpose of the charge, the cause of suspicion would not be good, and the constable ought not to act without a warrant. On the other hand, if the constable be attracted to the spot by the cries of the complainant, or if the accused give a contradictory or unsatisfactory account of himself, the constable should act without a warrant . We have mentioned these different circumstances only in illustration of what we have above said—viz., that much must be left to the prudence and discretion of the officer; and repeat that, in strictness, no corroborative evidence is necessary, but that the circumstances and charge must be such as would justify a reasonable man in suspecting that the offence had been committed (i).

(12.) Joint Opinion of the Attorney and Solicitor General, Sir A. E. Cockbitrn and Sir Richard Bethell, as to the illegality of the delivery up of Russian Sailors (Deserters), and the conveyance of them back to their ships.
Case.—Some Russian sailors were found wandering in the streets of Guildford without any visible means of subsistence, and were locked up for the night by the superintendent of police. They were afterwards identified by a Russian naval officer as deserters from a Russian man-of-war which had arrived in England, and they were conveyed by him to Portsmouth with the assistance of the superintendent. The Law Officers were requested to advise as to the legality of the proceeding.
Temple, January 3, 1854. Opinion.—We are of opinion that the delivering-up of the Russian sailors to the lieutenant, and the assistance offered by the police for the purpose of their being conveyed back to the Russian ship, was contrary to law.

(13.) Joint Opinion of the same Law Officers, as to how far Statute 16 & 17 Vict. c. 99, abolishing Transportation in certain cases, is in force in the Colonies.
Temple, December 5, 1858. Sir,—We were honoured with your commands, contained in Mr. Merivale's letter of the 15th ultimo, in which he stated that he was directed by you to transmit to us the accompanying despatch from the Governor of New South Wales, with its enclosures, and to request that we would favour you with our advice on the following point:—
That, referring to the letter of the 20th of February last, from
suspect the person arrested to be the felorj. "It is lawful," said Abbott, C J., in Ex parte Kraus, 1 B. & C. 261, "for any person to take into custody a man charged with felony, and keep him until he can be taken before a magistrate:" Mure v. Kaye, 4 Taunt. 34; West v. Baxendale, 6 C. B. 141. A constable is justified in arresting any person whom he has probable cause to suspect of having committed a felony, even although the prisoner is found not guilty, or it turns out that no felony was committed by anybody: Beckwith v. Philby, 6 B. & C 635.
the Horse Guards to the General Officer commanding at New South Wales, and to our own opinion, as stated in that letter, as to sentences of transportation passed on military offenders, were we of opinion that the same principle applies to sentences of transportation passed by the ordinary Courts in the colonies on the other offenders, insomuch that all such sentences, passed since the 16 & 17 Vict, c. 99 came into operation, and which, if passed in England, would have been invalid by reason of that Act, were invalid and could not be enforced?
In obedience to your request, we have taken the subject into our consideration, and have the honour to report—
That, in our opinion, the question whether the principle embodied in our opinion as to sentences of transportation passed on military offenders applies to sentences of transportation passed by the ordinary Courts in the colonies, and whether, consequently, such sentences, passed since 16 & 17 Vict. c. 99, which, if passed in England, would have been invalid under that Act, are invalid and cannot be enforced, must depend materially on the constitution of the particular colony, and whether the law is administered in such colony under the authority of the British Crown, or under the laws passed by the local legislature. Generally speaking, Acts of Parliament do not apply to the colonies, unless the latter are expressly specified therein; but some classes of statutes, which appear to be of imperial concern, and to affect the whole of the dominions of the Crown, have been held to be excepted from this rule.
In the case of military offences, the trial takes place under the martial law, as established by the Mutiny Acts. In such a case there is no doubt that the 16 & 17 Vict. c. 99 applies, though the trial takes place in a colony. We are disposed to think, looking to the general scope and purport of the Act in question, that it would apply generally to sentences passed in the ordinary Colonial Courts also; but, as we have just pointed out, there may be circumstances of local legislation or law, which may make the local application of this statute, in which no reference is made to the colonies, very questionable.
We concur with the Law Officers of New South Wales in thinking
