Answer these 3 questions to find out.
Does this sound familiar: two teams within the marketing department, one dealing with the 'physical' strategies, and another separate team looking after digital marketing?
Too many companies continue to run their traditional and digital operations independently, despite the fact that customers want to move seamlessly between one and the other. The world of marketing and communications has become more complex, more connected and a more immediate. Are your systems for marketing management keeping pace?

We are so seduced by those short, self-administered tests that promise to reveal our 'true north'. They will help us identify all sorts of hidden strengths, from our ability to brainstorm through to our natural leadership talent. The fact that it only takes 60 seconds to run the test is also a big attraction…..
But now and then, you may come across a really worthwhile article that goes beyond the over-simplified diagnosis so beloved of the Cosmo-style questionnaire.
In January 2011, McKinsey […]
For some years I have been running programmes with companies on writing up marketing plans and developing marketing strategies. As I teach marketing strategy right up to MBA level, I know how complex marketing strategy can be. Yet companies want me to help them come up with a plan in a matter of hours. Is this an impossible demand? Can anything useful be done in a few hours, when we know that so much research is required?

Many of us will be able to recall how nerve-racking it can be to take an exam or to sit a driving test.
Butterflies in our stomach, sweaty palms, a racing heart and panicking that we won't be able to remember anything we've learnt are all common feelings before an exam. Feeling nervous is a natural emotion and for lots of people these feelings actually help to motivate us and to focus our minds. However if these feelings become intense they can threaten an individual's performance and even cause them to achieve below their true potential.
Exam nerves of any type can affect anyone, no matter how clever they are or how much they've prepared. There is a great emphasis in today's society to use exams to measure an individual's ability (e.g. for certain jobs, to drive a car etc.) and the pressure of this can be overwhelming. Nerves can become out of control and cause anxiety attacks and stress, creating a vicious circle leading to more intense nerves. This can have a negative impact on our unconscious mind and lead to more general, longer term performance based anxiety.
Preparing for an exam or a test and successfully completing it is not just about how knowledgeable an individual is, but also about their state of mind. Feeling calm, relaxed, focused and confident when studying and sitting the exam means an individual will be much more likely to achieve their full potential. Accessing this state of mind is a skill and can often be learned by implementing new ways of thinking using different techniques.
- Feeling sick
- Sweaty palms
- Butterflies
- Insomnia
- Loss of appetite
- Depression
- Stress
- Anxiety
- Trembling
- Bad tempered
Hypnotherapy or EMDR Therapy can be used for helping to control exam nerves. The power of suggestion and visualisation techniques can encourage an individual to clear their racing mind and approach the exam with a cool, calm state of mind. If an individual is anxious, their mind may not be able to focus. However, controlling this anxiety often leads to increased concentration levels, allowing the knowledge to be accessed with more ease.
Hypnotherapy and EMDR Therapy can be used to:
- Increase your confidence
- Increase your motivation
- Guides you to control anxiety
- Increase memory and concentration
- Overcome fear of failure
Learn how to relax before the test or examination so you can reach your full potential

From the West Region Wildfire Council:
The Quartz Creek Community has taken a proactive role in preventing loss of life and property due to a catastrophic wildfire since it was recognized as having extreme risk in the Gunnison County Community Wildfire Protection Plan. The Quartz Creek Property Owners Association has partnered with West Region Wildfire Council and Colorado State Forest Service to secure 100% grant funding to complete a forest fuel break to help protect homes from wildfire.
Over the past several months, we've reached out to landowners in the priority treatment area to seek their participation in the project. For a timeline, specific project information, and contact information, please see the Quartz Creek page on our website at www.COwildfire.org/Quartz_Creek.
If you have not heard from us you can still participate in our cost share program intended to assist property owners in high wildfire-risk communities with wildfire mitigation; see information for our cost share program at www.COwildfire.org.

Students benefit from work experience with MAXIS Global Benefits Network
Four of our students have recently benefitted from work experience placements with MAXIS Global Benefits Network.
Tianyuan (Nina) Ni, a postgraduate student supervised by Dr Hirbod Assa has a six month paid internship working as a Project Management Officer under the guidance of Dr Matthias Helmbold, Head of Technical at MAXIS-GBN.
Tianyuan is working on Applying Machine Learning Algorithm on Forecasting Economic Factors. This involves managing a variety of projects for multinational companies to combine local benefits programs into an international pool through reinsurance; analyzing project data and maintain overall statuses, manage all teams to deliver employee benefits and risk management tools to clients and supporting senior managers to analyze the mechanism and performance of different health and wellness programs and solutions.
Undergraduate students Jiarui (Carrie) Cui, Xiaoshuo (Apple) Cui and Yiqiang (Chloe) Lu also obtained two month paid internships as reporting analysts.
Their roles involved working on a project to merge existing separate client data bases onto a new integrated system. The students benefitted greatly in developing data analysis and report creation skills, interacting with a variety of teams within the company which enhanced their understanding of the business.
Exponential Investor highlights IFAM collaboration with Stable
Exponential Investor has recently interviewed Richard Counsell, founder and CEO of Stable, a startup that's looking to help farmers cope with fluctuating prices. The article (which you can read here) highlights their collaboration with Hirbod Assa, whose team used machine learning and multiple algorithms to run millions of simulations analysing decades of Government data.
"Stable" is an agricultural insurance that helps a wide range of farming businesses protect themselves from volatile prices and costs. It's all based on public indexes from Government organizations like the AHDB and DEFRA. The reasons Stable is introduced are:
- There is no good market for agricultural insurances on price fluctuations in the UK.
- There are only derivatives on arable in the EU that are not insurance; since insurances are not for speculation (must be issued at an amount for clients) and they have different markets.
- Brexit and the removal of the common agricultural policy can eventually damage livestock businesses in the UK and in particular Wales.
The products that we consider are put and call spreads. In a few papers, Dr. Assa has shown the universal optimality of these type of insurance contracts in many applications. Thus, we needed to work with these contracts and find the two optimal retention levels so that they can fairly manage the risk of clients and make the investment profitable. In this project, we needed to consider two ends of a new market, demand and supply sides. The demand for insurance is made by risk-averse farmers and farm-product consumers who are looking for better utility and the supply side consists of investors who invest in this business and issue insurance for making a higher profit. On one hand, we needed to convince clients that our product is a good enough product to manage the risk of volatile prices and on the other hand we needed to convince investors that there is a portfolio of the products that pay enough profit. To achieve this, we controlled key performance indicators according to market demand and supply and filtered the simulated products to achieve the optimal ones. We are now monitoring the performance indicators in our dashboard at real time on a daily basis; some of the key indicators are: Return over investment, Loss ratio, Exercised ratio, Farmer lose frequency, Investor lose frequency and Positive ROI ratios.

It's no secret that the Lighthouse Point condominium development in Collingwood is one of my favourites. My mother and my mother-in-law both lived there and my uncle currently lives there. You know when I take the chance of putting my own family there, I really have to love it! So here are my top ten reasons…
• It has a nicely designed site plan with lots of green space
• Its location on the waterfront with lovely views, water access and a marina
• Close to town and on the bus route
• The Recreation Centre! This fabulous facility offers a large indoor pool with a water slide, well equipped exercise room, great play room with ping pong, air hockey and such and, a gorgeous, huge common room. Perfect place to spend bad weather days or to get in some fun.
• The trails and boardwalk
• Its better built than many others in its class
• Desirable in all four seasons with great views, quiet, safe and a great range of amenities outside too
• Real estate values have done comparatively well
• Some units have central gas heating and central air
• You can buy a newspaper from a box right on-site!
I just listed a lovely 2 bedroom, 2 full bath, upper level unit at a superb price of $194,900. I really mean that since nothing like this has sold below $195,000 in a very long time!
These original owners have maintained it to a tee and no detail has been spared. It has an efficient, hydronic heating system, central air, added attic insulation, updated broadloom, a gas fireplace, 5 appliances and includes 2 large, outside storage cupboards. If you've been thinking about purchasing a condo in the Collingwood area, then you really must see this.

Captain Paul Watson founded his Sea Shepherd Conservation Society in 1977 because he believed his new organization had to go even further to eradicate whaling, poaching, shark finning and habitat destruction - and to uphold international conservation laws on the high seas - than the Greenpeace group he had co-founded.
For several years, Watson's group of staff and volunteers have engaged in a campaign almost every winter to find and stop Japanese ships that hunt whales in the name of research, attempting to stop them by any non-unhappy means necessary. The eclectic group - labeled activists, heroes and/or eco-pirates - leave port in Melbourne, Australia for a two-month campaign that is dangerous, controversial and has garnered international media attention. Sea Shepherd's dedicated, international crew have spent their holiday the last several years and risked their lives at the bottom of the Earth to save whales. (Source: Animal Planet)

Anonymous Nurse is a column written by nurses around the United States with something to say. If you're a nurse and would like to write about working in the American healthcare system, get in touch at email@example.com.
A few days ago, a patient of mine came in to refill her medication and to review lab tests that had been taken for her hypertension and type 2 diabetes.
After refilling her prescription and taking her blood pressure readings and other vital signs, we began discussing her recent lab results.
Her A1C — a marker for average blood sugar over a 3-month time period — was elevated to 10.5, an increase from her last reading that was taken three months earlier. For reference, the goal of A1C in a person with type 2 diabetes is 7.0 or less, so her reading indicates that her diabetes is not under control.
On a daily basis, I am expected, as are most nurse practitioners (NPs) in the United States, to spend no more than 15 minutes with patients for a follow-up visit. So while we hadn't even begun to discuss the potential reasons behind her elevated A1C readings or how to better control her blood sugar, nearly half of her visit was already over.
The visit progressed and we talked about whether she had been checking her blood sugar at home. She had been. Whether she was taking her medications. She was. And whether she was exercising. She didn't have time. Following the recommended low-carb diet? She was trying.
At this point we had 5 minutes left in her visit.
As a NP, my role as a provider is to diagnose and treat illnesses, but also to provide education that helps people achieve wellness. But what could I really do for my patient in such a short span of time that would both help her to better control her blood sugar and improve her overall health?
This struggle, however, is not an uncommon one. In fact, it's something I experience every day. And it's frustrating — not just for me, but for my patients as well.
Despite the data, nurses are constantly at odds with time and staffing numbers
A joint position statement released by the American Diabetes Association, the American Association of Diabetes Educators, and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, supports the conclusion that people who receive diabetes education better manage their diabetes and overall health.
Moreover, spending more time with patients has been noted to show an improvement in peoples' overall health outcome — not to mention a reduction in cost in the long run.
Yet while this is the case, NPs are constantly at odds with the amount of time they're given to spend with their patients. And this is, in part, down to private insurance companies and government programs like Medicare.
While these companies and services don't dictate how much time can be spent with our patients, they do control how much we as providers — and our practices — get paid for each visit. So if the practice doesn't see enough patients during the day, they can't pay the bills.
To make matters worse, there's currently a shortage of primary care providers in the United States. This, in turn, means there are more patients to be seen by fewer providers each day. And while NPs are trying to fill the gap, it's not completely closing it.
The best we can do is work within the system we currently have
What, then, to do?
The answer, some would say, is that patients could simply attend special education classes — and in the case of this particular patient, one directed at diabetes education. Or simply book another appointment with me.
But the reality is that she probably wouldn't do either. And when I broached the subject with her, she told me she simply doesn't feel as though she can spare any more time, even to improve her health.
As is the case for so many people these days, time for her is at a premium. Yet, given the opportunity, she would happily sit in my office for an extra 15 to 20 minutes since she was already there.
So the question remains: How do we find a balance? One where patients get sufficient face time with their NPs and practices can pay their bills.
Unfortunately, if I'm entirely honest, I don't foresee our healthcare system changing any time soon. In fact, the shortfall of primary care providers is expected to increase in the coming years, which is likely to put even more of a strain on NPs like myself.
That leaves both the providers and the consumers of healthcare — that's all of us! — to do the best we can to work within the system.
Working within the system means planning ahead
There are a number of things that both you, the patient, and I the NP can do in order to ensure you're receiving the treatment you need.
Come prepared for your visit
For you, perhaps the most helpful tip is to arrive at your appointment prepared. This might entail bringing a log of recent blood sugars or a food diary to help pinpoint triggers that lead to heartburn.
This might also mean coming with a short list of concerns or questions. This is personally one of my favorites because I think many of us, myself included, suffer from what I call "medical amnesia." We know the questions we want to ask at home, and then when we're in front of our NPs, we blank.
Request, when possible, more time
Finally, if you can, plan further ahead and request a longer appointment time if you think your medical concern merits it.
Providers have a small amount of leeway when it comes to scheduling longer appointments if you provide advance notice and they can spend the time in a way that allows it to be billed.
That said, it's important to understand that a longer visit could result in having to pay out more, so be mindful of this, depending on your type of insurance coverage.
In return, as the provider, I can try to plan ahead, as well. If I know a patient has concerns that may take more time, I can request a longer visit given enough lead time. I can have handouts prepared related to specific topics for them.
Healthcare is a partnership — one where we all need to be active participants
It's an ongoing source of frustration and sadness when I think about how much potential there is in our medical system to provide terrific care. Yet the ever expanding rules and regulations created by insurance companies and our government thwart so many of the efforts made by providers.
And while I wish that healthcare was a right granted to every citizen in this country, being realistic, I don't see this happening any time soon.
Instead, all of us have to work within the existing framework until it changes. This means all patients should view healthcare as a partnership with their providers in which they must be active participants in order to maintain good health and treat existing illnesses successfully.

To all contemporary scientists of social sciences, CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL PRIVATE ENTERPRISE
We are the citizens of Ukraine, who have lost faith in efficiency of political institutes of our country and their representatives in virtue of their staying on the positions of officials in prejudice of people. Endless economic and financial crises, which are accompanied by bloody struggle between the people and the authorities, have become routines of our country. Any reforms might not be accepted by the narrow circle of officials, even of the highest rank, without broad public discussion. People's opinions must be taken into account.
We appeal for cooperation and interaction for implementation of our main goal – formation of the civilized civil society in Ukraine and the democratic constitutional state through the legal implementation of social-democratic reforms.
Taking into account positive experience of work of similar reforms in Your countries, we ask to provide methodological assistance in creating of new for our country political movement with the further formation of personnel reserve for integration in bodies of state administration, and also the Institute of Public Reforms, which would include independent scientists from all democratic countries.
We hope for effective cooperation.
It's high time for Ukraine to move ahead, reform on the basis of the newest achievements of contemporary social sciences and join the international community of countries of developed democracies!

Oh my, will you? Why! That's awfully generous of you. Oh no wait. No it isn't. How about you take a look at my portfolio to find out if you like my style, and then, oh, I don't know – actually request a piece you'd like to publish rather than just making this shit up as you go along?
Don't have anything to put on your portfolio yet? No worries. Here's what you can do.
We Need You to Write a Free Trial Before We Decide if We Want to Work with You
Similar to the above, except there's no fucking way you're getting paid for this. What you may get paid for, however, is any work they decide to give you in the future if they happen to like your 'trial' piece. Which they might not. Let's be clear on one thing: if you've got a portfolio on your website, they don't need you to write a free trial piece for them – they can find out whether they like your writing by, you know, actually swinging by your site before agreeing to work with you.
One thing to bear in mind is that just because somebody asks you to write a trial piece does not mean they are asking for a FREE trial piece. Paid trial pieces are fine. Go for it.
How Much We Pay You Depends on How Many Views/Likes/Shares it Gets
Gee whizz! Well, since I'm getting paid according to some arbitrary goal you've set, how about you pay me in jellybeans while we're at it? Because if you're going to be weird and unprofessional about this, I want to be too! And I sure do like jellybeans.
If, on the other hand, you want to act like normal grownups, we could do the whole payment-in-actual-money-for-actual-services-rendered. Sound good?
We'll Pay You with 'Exposure'
This may be the most insulting of them all because, fuck – there's not even any pretence that money is going to be sent your way. Instead, they'll pay you with 'exposure', which means new people will discover you by reading about you on a site other than your own. The trouble with this approach, of course, is that the sites that can only pay you with exposure often don't have very much exposure to offer in the first place.
When you're a total noob, it's tempting to accept a few of these trashbag 'offers' (I use the term lightly), because you want to get some experience under your belt. But let me tell you: this is the wrong sort of experience. You want to gather experience as a professional, not a pushover, and diminishing your integrity and acting like an amateur is not how you do that. Here are the traits you should cultivate instead. Because you're better than that, damn it.

Luxury Houses To Rent in Gauteng
To read more about this, please read… Complete A-Z Home Buying Guide.
If you're interested in buying a luxury house, this post is for you.
This is definitely an exciting time for buyers who are shopping for high-end homes, and Winnipeg has a lot to offer when it comes to ritzy properties. However, the luxury home buying process is one you'll want to do your homework on if you're interested in buying a dream home and not just a big house.
Take a look at these tips from the luxury home market before committing to anything and making a purchase
1. Patience is a virtue
If you're considering buying a luxury house, you should learn to be patient. Making a hasty decision will only lead to buyer's remorse. You don't want that. What you want is the best value for your money.
2. You can't always trust the photos
The best advice I can give you here is to not dismiss a house just by looking at the photos. The only way you can truly appreciate the real value of a home and to find out if it's right for you is by seeing it in person.
3. There are no standards when buying a luxury house
It's impossible to say what the perfect luxury property would look like. It all depends on your taste and your needs, so don't let yourself become totally influenced by trends. Do some soul-searching instead.Luxury Homes should fit your lifestyle
4. It's more important to find a house that truly fits your lifestyle
You may find a beautiful property with a gorgeous pool which your friends will love, but if you don't like to swim, it might not be the best choice for you. Your home should allow you to do more of the activities you're passionate about.
5. The pool of buyers you're competing against is a lot smaller
This is only one more reason to be patient. Less competition means you have more chances of finding an incredible home and getting a great deal. That's if you don't rush into anything.
6. Financial documentation is a must
It's just better to document everything when buying a luxury house. Also, you should consider planning ahead. Getting your financial documentation together at the last minute can be stressful and simply not worth it.
7. A good agent won't make the decision for you
I always try to give the best advice and give suggestions using my expertise and knowledge, but I never make the decision for my clients. At the end of the day, you need to feel comfortable knowing that it's you who made the final call.
8. It's best to work with a local REALTOR®
If you're interested in buying a luxury house, you should rely on an agent who is familiar with the local market and knows all the hidden treasures in the area you are interested in.
Living and working in Winnipeg, I'm confident that I can provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision if you're interested in buying a property here.
9. You can find the best luxury estate there is
You just need some help. I'd love to hear more about what exactly you're looking for in a home and we can work together towards finding a property that fits your criteria perfectly.
Let's start with a FREE, no strings attached consultation and you can tell me more about your new dream home.

Planning a holiday is a prospect that is full of fun and excitement. As you make the bookings, take the journey and reach your destination, you are constantly making new memories. When it is always as exciting to take a holiday, it makes sense to create a home for you that can also serve as a holiday home at a holiday destination. While a lot of people live in cities that are beautiful and exciting in their own, people that live in cities like Mumbai have to make sure that they find respite in a place close enough to take a trip to and far enough from the maddening hustle of the city that never sleeps.
You need to make sure that you choose a place like Alibaug to create your holiday home. There are a number of reasons why you should opt for luxury villas in Alibaug to create a picture perfect vacation house. One of the biggest reasons is that it is in such close proximity to the beach you feel like you are staying on the golden sands of the shore. Being close to the sea is a unique experience in itself. Another reason why the town is a great hit among vacation planners is because there are a lot of means to reach the place.
While you can be adventurous and get to your villas in Alibaug with the help of a ferry ride, it is also possible to get there by road. The presence of such alternatives to get to the place makes it a more viable destination for those who like to keep their vacations more memorable and fun. You can also choose to visit the nearby towns and plan a real excursion by visiting the fort in the middle of the sea, when you have a home to come back after a tiring and eventful day.
Finally, you can make sure that you don't spend hours or days travelling to your holiday home and can begin your weekend at the soonest. If you choose to pick your house at a place like Mahindra Serenes in Alibaug, you can get to the place from Mumbai within a matter of hours. If you want to make sure that you are constantly at an arm's distance from fun and enjoyment, you should make sure to pick a home at a viable location like Alibaug.

Scientists at the University of Cambridge have developed a way to screen treatments for schizophrenia on single cells from a patient's blood sample, which could speed up drug discovery and help to personalize treatments for people with the condition.
Around 21 million people worldwide suffer from schizophrenia, and this is likely to get worse with aging populations. Unfortunately, companies have lost interest in developing new drugs for this condition and other mental disorders.

OOTP Grand Championship League: Year 3
After two years of running the GCL we wanted to change the format up a bit. Quite frankly, running an inaugural draft is just something I hope I never have to do again in my life!
Everybody participating in this challenge has their own league to worry about. My goal is not/was not to make this a long-term commitment for league reps.
So this year we have 32 league representatives from some of the best online leagues utilizing OOTP.
All of our league reps are currently constructing a roster with hopes that sims will begin next week should everything go according to plan.
Here are the rules:
Full League Name (Initials): OOTP Grand Championship League
Web Reports: Home
OOTP Version: 15
Game Needed: Required
Players: Real
# of Teams: 32
First Season: 2004
Current Season: 2015
Fatigue: On
Scouting: Off
Designated Hitter: On
Player Development: Off (after the 2014 season is simmed)
Injuries: Off (after the 2014 season is simmed)
Personnel: Off
Draft Format:
Similar to DraftKings fantasy format every Grand League rep will be given a budget that is equal to all other opponents.
You get to select an entire roster of 25 players, but must remain AT or BELOW the salary cap which is $90,000,000.
After the final season was simmed, the Commissioner will dump all of the players into a draft pool.
It is then up to each representative to create their own team within the budget. The players individual draft demand will serve as their cap hit.
So for example, Joey Vottos demand is $21million if you choose him on your team you then have $69million remaining to build your roster.
It is POSSIBLE and potentially LIKELY that more than 1 team selects the same player (similar to DraftKings). That player will merely be duplicated and added to each roster.
Your goal is to build the best 25 man roster you can within your budget.
Every team will be able to select an MLB ballpark as their home park. They will inherit all of the park factors/home city info for that park.
This could be crucial to determining how you build your roster as well as potentially build a true home field advantage.
This is also due by Feb 7th at 8pm est.
Regular Season:
The regular season will be 62 games long and will be simmed in 7 game increments.
This will be the fastest part of the league, and will be completed in 9 straight days of simming. (See export deadlines below).
The expected schedule will be February 9th through February 17th
Every team will play every team twice once at home and once on the road.
The regular season record will be used to determine tournament ranking as well as home field throughout the tournament.
Grand Tournament:
Regardless of the regular season, every team will have a chance to compete for the championship.
After the regular season, teams will be seeded 1-32.
Every series will be a best of 9 series with TWO games simmed per sim. If there is a Game 9 needed, Game 9 will always be it's own sim.
Regular Season Sim Schedule:
During the 62 game season. We will sim 7 games at a time using 9 straight sim nights.
Your exports will be due at 8pm est, with sims expected to reach you no later than 9pm.
Tournament Sim Schedule:
We will sim the tournament on Monday-Wednesday-Thursday-Sunday. With 2 games per sim unless Game 9, then that will be one sim.
Round 1: Ends at the latest on February 26th
Round 2: Ends at the latest on March 5th
Round 3: Ends at the latest on March 12th
Round 4: Ends at the latest on March 19th
Title Schedule: TBD
Note: If no series go 9 games, then the schedule moves up.
Some Misc League Info
Right now, all teams are assigned to MLB franchises. Except for Jacksonville & Omaha which were teams 31 and 32 added to the league after the sim.
The reason for this is so that teams can compare player stats based on park factors. So the Baltimore Bears players played in Camden Yards OOTP Model etc.
Once we draft teams, your team names will change to be representative of your league.
There is no reason to draft based on potential. So dont do it player development is Off, so these players are what you think they are (Dennis Green).
I deleted almost 2,000 players from the draft pool in hopes that would help you sift through the draft pool quicker.
The minor leagues will be deleted once the year begins.
The best of 9 series is 2-3-2-1-1
Fatigue is set to Normal.

The NBL is sending our most successful franchise GM over the past 4 years, Anthony T. His San Francisco Sharks have been a dominant force but they haven't been able to seal the deal, losing in the Championship Series in the past 2 seasons. Luckily for him our winning GM was unavailable for the GCL so now Anthony gets an even bigger stage to try and exercise his demons.

Since I stepped away, Rich Grisham has taken over. The main issue with the GCL was that it was fun for the leagues involved, but it didn't get much traction beyond that, so I think my successor decided to devote energy to something else. Thanks for asking.

Piqua Daily Call
SIDNEY —- It is two high school tennis programs at completely different points.
So, the results in Lehman Catholic's 5-0 win over Piqua tennis were not completely unexpected.
Lehman Catholic coach Tim Ungericht has continued the success previous coaches had at Lehman, while Piqua first-year coach Brian Gillespie is looking to put the beginning pieces in building a program.
Lehman was coming off two tough matches with Milton-Union and Troy and the victory improved the Cavaliers to 4-3 on the season.
In singles, Danny Lins defeated Demi Nicholas 6-1, 6-1; Sam Gilardi defeated Jackson Elliott 6-0, 6-0; and Max Schmiesing defeated Stephen Dolder 6-1, 6-0.
In doubles, Elijah Jock and Eliaz Bezy defeated Cael Barr and Ethan Hammon 6-0, 6-1.
"We needed this match," Ungericht said. "And that is no slight on Piqua. We are coming off a couple tough matches."
And Ungericht is happy with his team's progress this spring.
"You look at everything we lost off last year's team," he said. "Danny is making a big jump from first doubles to first singles. He gets a couple wins and that will give him confidence. You look at the teams we lost to. Our other loss is to Wapakoneta who could be the WBL champions.
"It is supposed to be a rebuilding year and we are 4-3. These were tough conditions to play in tonight, but we are going to see a lot of that in the spring, so that is always good to work on that."
Josh George defeated Noah Ruley 6-0, 6-0.
"I have always spent as much time working with the JV as varsity," Ungericht said. "That's important because they are going to have to move up at some point and you want to get them ready. Max Schmiesing has had to step in at third singles. Josh George has only been playing for a month and he has already moved up to number eight on the team."
Gillespie knew it was not going be a quick fix at Piqua.
"You look at it, we are basically all freshman and sophomores," he said. "We just don't have a lot of experience. Demi (Nicholas) is really our only player with experience."
Piqua had opened the season with a loss to Xenia.
"The kids have basically been playing each other in practice," Gillespie said. "Now that matches have started, we don't have a lot of practice time to make corrections."
Gillespie sees a bright future with the program.
"They are all excited and having fun," he said. "That is a good thing. That means they will probably keep playing."
And Gillespie knows the biggest progress can come in the summer.
"Just watching tennis, playing tennis," Gillespie said. "Just hitting ball after ball off the wall back at you. That's the way I learned."
And Ungericht has compassion for the Piqua team and encouraged them after the match.
"Piqua is my hometown," Ungericht said. "I want to see those guys do well. Brian (Gillespie) will be a good coach. He has the energy for the job and that is the big thing."
Piqua was scheduled to host Urbana Friday, while Lehman Catholic has a MVTCA Cup Flight Tournament Saturday.

The trials and tribulations of registering a marriage in Thailand
It's all fun and easy getting married in the land of smiles… if you are a foreign couple that is. Marrying a Thai national on the other hand, brings with it a whole lot of red tape. What should and could be one of the most romantic and most cherished times of you and your partner's life can often be made into a nightmarish, never-ending story of miscommunication.
As a farang woman dating a Thai man, my relationship with my husband has always been revered for breaking the mold of the typical farang man-Thai woman scenario. But being a farang, I still face my annual battles with the Thai legal system to renew my visa. Everyone, including Thai immigration officials, recommended us registering our marriage long before our wedding and claimed how "easy" it would be. Women, supposedly, do not need to prove their income or have a large sum of money in the bank, like farang men do when wanting to marry a Thai woman. All I needed was to get a letter of impediment from my embassy, have it translated into Thai, and then have it certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA).
Surprisingly, every official government website and online forum we could find dealing with the issue of marriage in Thailand only covered the farang man-Thai woman dynamic. Left empty-handed, we sought out legal advice from a lawyer to help us with the translations and all proceedings.
After double checking with the lawyer that all our documents were in order, I made a trip to the Bangrak District Office to then triple check. "All you need is the certified translated letter, your passport, your partner's Thai ID card, and their tabien baan (house registration documents)", said the district officer. What both the district officer and our lawyer forgot to mention was that we would also need a member of his family to act as a witness, along with their tabien baan, as well as the receipt for the MOFA certification. Had it not been for a recently-married friend, we would have arrived missing several important requirements.
Finally, the day came and we couldn't be more excited. Dressed in our best, we headed to the district office at 8:30am and were ready to join in holy matrimony before dozens of complete strangers. Upon arrival, we submitted our documents to our lawyer and waited patiently to be called. Half an hour later our lawyer came back to us saying our application had been denied. Yet another piece of vital information that they 'forgot' to mention was that the law had recently changed and all women were required to submit proof of income too. To our shock, not even our lawyer was aware of this change.
After another hour in a nearby bank, and with a three-month bank statement in hand, we submitted our application again only to be denied for the second time. Thankfully, the nearby Sathorn District Office was more lenient and accepted our application with a smile—a rarity in any government building.
Despite common belief, just because I married a Thai man doesn't mean I'm in the clear. The trials and tribulations of marrying into "the land of smiles" can, on occasion, wipe the smile from anyone's face.
