Licence to Kill (1989)
Bond gets revenge. Licence to Kill is likely the darkest, most gritty Bond film to date. This stems from the fact that this is a revenge film, and that requires some nasty stuff to happen to James' friends and his sworn enemies. This is the film that earned Timothy Dalton his maligned criticism. Many felt it deviated too far from the familiar Bond style and formula, but the truth is, this was likely the most true to Ian Fleming's character, as he was originally written. However, I have always liked this film.
CIA turned DEA Agent Felix Leiter (David Hedison) is aided by friend and British spy James Bond (Timothy Dalton) in apprehending sadistic drug lord Franz Sanchez (Robert Davi) on Felix's wedding day. However, when Sanchez is broken out of custody, he murders Felix's new bride, and leaves him for dead after being mauled by a shark. This drives Commander Bond to seek revenge, but M (Robert Brown), his superior in the British Secret Service, denies him this and revokes his licence to kill. This forces Bond to go rogue to exact his revenge on this merciless criminal. He is aided by one of Leiter's contacts in the capable Pam Bouvier (Carey Lowell) as they attempt to crush Sanchez's entire drug empire.
This film is definitely more violent than The Living Daylights, border lining on graphic. Bond holds nothing back, subjecting his enemies to gruesome fates. One man gets exactly what Leiter got as Bond maliciously throws him into the shark tank, but doesn't survive. Others get quite severe deaths demonstrating that you don't want to be on the bad side of Timothy Dalton's 007. Bond goes after everyone hard and fast, but never sacrifices intelligence or savvy. He remains cunning but also deadly. Timothy Dalton slips into this harder edged 007 very comfortably and easily. He takes what he did in The Living Daylights, and just darkens it a few shades. He's a little more intimidating and dramatically intense showing Bond's passionate motivations in this personal story. Dalton might not have the opportunity to be very witty or suave, but he delivers on the dramatic weight and conviction that the story demanded. He also has small moments of pain and grief that do penetrate through the screen as he reflects on his maimed friend. The physical demands on Dalton are greater this time out, and he was more than up for the task. You can clearly see his face as he is lowered in a harness from a helicopter early on, or doing any number of daring stunts or fights. I can certainly understand why many never took well to this portrayal of the character. Definitely in this film, he is a fierce animal on a dead-set mission who doesn't delve into light-hearted indulgences. He stays sharply focused on the matter at hand, and doesn't allow anything to diverge him from that mission. In both of Dalton's films, I find what he did with the character of James Bond to be very compelling and exceptionally intelligent.
Now, I am dead serious when I say that Franz Sanchez is one of the best Bond villains I've ever seen. Robert Davi is cutthroat and ruthless in this role, taking it also into a very dark and violent place. He's a very realistic and threatening villain who is a fresh departure for the franchise being that he is a South American drug lord. That is a very identifiable villain for the 1980s in the era of Miami Vice. Davi makes a powerful impression right from his first scene proving Sanchez to be a very formidable villain. That solidifies him as a seriously dangerous adversary for James Bond. The fact that he's not hesitant over getting his hands dirty makes him even more of an unnerving threat. Of course, having a young and sleazy Benicio del Toro as his main henchman Dario, and nicely villainous Anthony Zerbe as cohort Milton Keyes doesn't hurt matters, either. Of course, I don't know what the idea was behind his pet iguana, but chalk it up to Bond villain eccentricities.
The Bond girls of this film are fairly decent. Most would know Carey Lowell as Assistant D.A. Jamie Ross from Law & Order in the 90s. Here, she's a nicely assertive and sexy female lead pulling enough of her own weight, but her performance doesn't have that harder edge or strong spirit to measure up to Dalton's Bond. It's a good performance, but not a standout one. Talisa Soto is about the same, but with considerably less to do as Sanchez's reluctant and intimidated woman Lupé Lamora.
It's interesting to note that the character of Felix Leiter appeared in The Living Daylights portrayed by 36 year old actor John Terry. In this film, he is portrayed by 61 year old David Hedison. He had previously played the role in Live and Let Die, and considering the need for an audience to care strongly about Leiter, the filmmakers decided to bring back a better established, more memorable actor in the role. It goes to show the loose continuity the franchise once had where the same character can be played by two different actors with a quarter century difference in age in back-to-back films. I always found that rather amusing, if not confusing. Regardless of that, Hedison does a fine, admirable job in this outing definitely making Leiter an enjoyable and sympathetic character.
Unfortunately, there's not much to say about the opening credits sequence of Licence to Kill. It's even more generic than that of The Living Daylights with various female figures dancing around, and the image of a roulette wheel spinning behind them. The title song by Gladys Knight is fairly good. It has a bit of a sweeping romantic quality with a lot of soul in her vocals. It's a nice change of pace from the previous two films, but probably not quite as memorable.
On the far better side of things, I really have to hand it to the action scenes of this film. The filmmakers really pushed them to a whole new level with amazing mid-air stunts, exhilarating water skiing getaways, and the spectacular finale with the Kensington trucks. The pre-credits sequence is excellent with Bond being lowered down from a Coast Guard helicopter to tether in Sanchez's plane, and then, James and Felix parachute down to the front of the chapel for the wedding. Bond is put into plenty of lethal peril in some nicely imaginative ways. He even gets to tangle with some ninjas. The climax is full of fire and explosions during a tanker truck chase down a desert highway. It's an awesome sequence giving us plenty of original and memorable moments. Bond and Sanchez fight on the moving tanker truck until there is one final dramatic moment which has a beautiful and brilliant personal touch of revenge.
There is a James Bond style maintained in this action-revenge storyline. He uses his skills of espionage to infiltrate Sanchez's organization, getting in close to him to both discover in the inner workings of it, and to destroy it from the inside out. He turns Sanchez against his own men by laying the seeds of distrust and betrayal in him. It's quite a skillful revenge with Bond using his intellect instead of pure brutality, but always knowing he's at the edge of danger at every turn. James is well aware of this being a personal vendetta, and he consciously tries to keep his friends and allies out of the crossfire. Regardless, they choose to help him anyway because the danger is so high that he needs all the help he can get, and it's great seeing that loyalty, especially from Q. Miss Moneypenny is even so worried about James that she cannot even do her job properly. All of these character elements and emotional attachments are nicely woven into the story, and gives the audience a chance to see James' concern for them and vice versa. Despite his unwavering determination for revenge, Bond keeps enough of his senses about him to not seek it at the expense of others. This is his own mission, and no else need risk their lives for his own gratification. So, despite how dark this Bond appears to be, he hasn't lost sight of his humanity.
Scoring duties for Licence to Kill were taken over by Michael Kamen, who was a brilliant composer through to his passing in 2003. I immensely enjoyed what he did on this film. His score has its own distinct style and sound while still adhering to the classic Bond themes and feel. He brought something more rousing and dangerous, matching the film's tone exquisitely. I love his arrangement of the James Bond theme as it is used quite a bit in various action scenes. Again, it has a unique flavor without making a drastic change. The sprinkles of Latin musical flair for some of Sanchez's best moments was a fine touch. Overall, it's an excellent score.
Topped off with some excellent and solid cinematography by Alec Mills, who also shot The Living Daylights, this really is a solid, hard edged Bond action picture. Surely, it might not be palatable to all fans of 007, but I think it definitely has its audience. In light of the success of Daniel Craig's run with the character, going back to a more grounded and realistic style and tone, I think many should give Licence to Kill a fair watch. Timothy Dalton really delivers a very dangerous and action-packed performance that impresses me. It's only unfortunate that the franchise got stalled out after this due to legal and financial issues, and by the time they were resolved, Dalton chose to bow out of reprising the role. While both of his outings are particularly good, I don't think he got the chance to do his quintessential Bond film. Licence to Kill was not well received, and in the hotly competitive summer of 1989 with Batman, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Lethal Weapon 2, Back to the Future, Part II, and Ghostbusters II, it was difficult to be financially successful as well. Still, I continue to give Timothy Dalton credit for taking the franchise in a more serious and respectable direction which did set a good stage for Pierce Brosnan's run. Thus, James Bond will return in GoldenEye.
The Dead Zone (1983)
Adapted from the novel by Stephen King, and directed by David Cronenberg, The Dead Zone is definitely one of the best films based on King's work. It has always been heralded with acclaim for many excellent reasons. Not the least of which is an incredible lead performance from Christopher Walken.
Johnny Smith (Christopher Walken) is a young and charming school teacher with a bright future ahead of him with a woman he loves and intends to marry. Yet, after leaving her home one night, he is involved in a car accident which leaves him in a coma for five years. Upon awakening, Johnny discovers he has gained the power of psychic visions where he see the past, present, and future with just the touch of a hand. This frightens Johnny, and he feels only more isolated from the world when he learns that Sarah (Brooke Adams), the love of his life, has married another man and had a child with him. After Johnny physically recovers from his coma, he becomes more and more reclusive until Sheriff Bannerman (Tom Skerritt) enlists his help to find the vicious Castle Rock Killer. However, when Johnny later shakes the hand of young and upcoming political candidate Greg Stillson (Martin Sheen), he is confronted with a frightening vision that shakes Johnny down to his core.
To say the least, Cronenberg has been a very original director with a unique perspective and style which comes out in science fiction or horror fare. Although, what he gives us with this film is a much more subtly clever and psychologically powerful over overt strangeness. Instead of going for the throat like he did with Scanners or Videodrome, he really hones in on the heart of this story, and he does it magnificently well. Every element he brought together truly merged with the heavy, somber tone he was going for. That was an excellent direction to envelope the film in as it puts us right into Johnny's headspace. I think it was a stroke of genius that he made Johnny's visions fully enveloping. He put Johnny inside the vision as if he was right there as it happened, but unable to affect change within the vision. It created a far more strained experienced for the character than if it just appeared as a dream state. With the first vision, he could probably feel the heat and flames just as if he was there in the burning house. During the vision of the Castle Rock Killer, Johnny is adamant how he was right there watching the murder, but unable to stop it. This forges Johnny into a darker, more reclusive state.
This is the earliest film I've seen of Christopher Walken's career, and it shows that, no matter the age, Walken delivers his all. Johnny starts out as a kind, lively man fully in love, but the accident forces a turbulent change in him. He feels like a man out of sync with the world, and is now haunted by his new abilities. He's angry that five years of his have been taken away, and that the woman he loved moved on with her life while he has none to return to. Walken is able to convey the deep emotional turmoil of Johnny with so much humanity that you can't help but feel his pain. The tragic sense of the character really comes through in such strong, brilliant ways. Walken subtly mixes in the charm of the pre-accident Johnny underneath that somber, unstable exterior. The well of emotion in his face and eyes honestly becomes heartbreaking many times over. When the visions occur, Walken goes into an intense trance which is immensely riveting. Walken actually had Cronenberg fire off a gun, loaded with blanks, to elicit his startling reaction in those moments, and that was greatly effective. Walken can be very intense, at times, as the fear of his knowledge of the future boils over, but he's always able to return to that heartfelt side. I could really go on and on about all the nuances and profound qualities of Christopher Walken's performance, as he is always so rich with, but suffice it to say, he is absolutely stunning in this role.
Another great talent on display is Tom Skerritt who brings his strong presence of authority and sense of compassion to Sheriff Bannerman. He feels very authentic as the lead police officer of a small New England town. He really invests you in Bannerman's plight where he has exhausted all avenues of investigation, and is willing to put his faith in the extraordinary to protect the people of his town. Herbert Lom does a very interesting and relatable performance as Dr. Sam Weizak with the genuine care of a physician. I really like the candor and humanity he brings to the role as Johnny's doctor. He's about the only one Johnny can confide in about his abilities, and that creates some very strong scenes which show Johnny's pain and struggles. It's very strong and intriguing work. Brooke Adams is very lovely and beautiful in the role of Sarah. She is very sweet and smart showing a simple, very caring woman that would endear herself to the younger Johnny who was bright and full of life. Adams does the same to an audience showing warmth and tenderness, and really striking up a genuine, heartfelt chemistry with Walken. The great Anthony Zerbe has an admirable turn as Roger Stuart, who hires Johnny to tutor his son, and also, bridges Smith with Stillson. Zerbe has a screen presence of respect, intelligence, and sophistication which serves the character excellently.
Martin Sheen is awesome as Greg Stillson. While he is perfectly stereotypical of a politician, and seemingly an exaggerated one, it entirely works for the role. Stillson is megalomaniacal, as is revealed to Johnny. He's full-tilt insane, and Sheen revels in that madness. He has thinly veiled unhinged mentality which many voters would perceive as zeal, passion, and charisma, but Zerbe's character perceives the danger he poses, which is a very nice touch to motivate Johnny's and Stillson's paths to cross.
While I have not read the novel, it seems like it had just a series of generally episodic events, which could have proven complicated to translate into a coherent screenplay, but I believe the filmmakers did an excellent job of weaving them together with Johnny's plight being the through line. How he goes from feeling angry and cursed to slowly realizing the potential good he can do with his powers is a fascinating approach. Yet, he's never really a man at peace. There's always an emotional or psychological turmoil swirling inside him. Because of this, The Dead Zone is more a character-driven movie as there is no overarching main plot, aside from Johnny's internal struggles. The film gives us a series of otherwise unrelated events that deeply affect and mold Johnny towards a powerful ending. While it could use a little more meat on the bone, in terms of a more rigorously involved plot in the Stillson centric segment, this really seems like the best approach to the material, and it is done exceptionally well.
The film's score was done by the late, great Michael Kamen, who was a masterful composer and musician. Here, he produced a brilliant score that is powerful and haunting. It really has a strong presence which really digs deep into the emotions abound in the film, reflecting the sad, bittersweet feeling Cronenberg captured on screen. Even in the beautiful moment, he still manages to keep that heavy, foreboding tone present. It's really a mesmerizing piece of music which is undeniably one of Kamen's finest and distinct works.
The winter setting of The Dead Zone is marvelously brilliant. It reflects the cold, lonely, isolated sensibility that come to define Johnny Smith. It also perfectly Stephen King. Cinematographer Mark Irwin shot this film amazingly well. There are some sequences with wonderfully moody lighting such as the tunnel crime scene with the headlights reflecting off the ice, or the green tinge inside the Dodd residence. Johnny's visions are all very visually strong, especially the ice break sequence. Overall, Irwin captures the power of this picture beautifully and compellingly.
The horror aspects in this film are very psychologically and visually based. Certainly the most graphic and startling is the Castle Rock Killer segment. We get violence and some disturbing imagery with this part which is very expertly executed. The rest of the film focuses on the fearful knowledge that haunts Johnny, and creates a troubling foreboding tone which leaves the audience unsettled. It's a cerebral film built on a solid, somber atmosphere that can leave you saddened. I do think it's a film that goes beyond the confines of horror, and pursues something much more fascinating and deeper. That was much of King's intention. He wanted to write a story that didn't delve into creatures or spirits or other things that come out to scare you in the dead of night. The Dead Zone was a sad, turbulent journey for a man that never asked for these extraordinary powers, but had to somehow cope with these experiencing jarring, haunting premonitions of death. They lead him down a chilling path that would be frightening for anyone.
As is obvious, I really like The Dead Zone. The only thing that pulls it away from a perfect rating is that I don't think the build up to the climax is quite strong enough. A bit more time taken for Johnny to deep down struggle with his decision, or to really reflect upon himself would've given it a more dramatic swell. The ending is excellent, though. It really hits the right, powerful emotional beat. I wouldn't change a frame of it. Christopher Walken puts in a rock solid performance that runs through a wide array of emotions that he brilliantly wraps into a single package. David Cronenberg had already proven he could go way far out with his concepts, and really deliver very bizarre, yet profound films. Here, he proves he get deep into the soul of a story and character, and deliver something equally profound on a much more intimate human level. I really, strongly recommend this film. It is expertly crafted by a great team of wonderfully talented film artists.

Thank goodness blue and white together are classics – and my faves. It seems as if color trends come and go so quickly, but we can always depend on blue and white. You know my theory on silver is that it is room jewelry.

It's just gorgeous….both of you did a fabulous job! I can't wait to see which rug she chooses.

Hi Gail….First I have to tell you how much I love your living room too! I have admired it from a far and looked at it over and over again for inspiration. You have so much artistic talent! I got the fiddle leaf fig at a local nursery, Green Thumb (in Canoga Park), unfortunately not that close to where you live. If you're willing to take a drive to Calabasas there is an incredible nursery named Sperlings. It is definitely worth the drive and they also have them.
Aren't we lucky to have a Mary Ann if our life! Now on to the dining room.

Don't you love having how she know the perfect touches that complete a space? Your living room turned out truly divine! I can't wait to see what wonderful things you both will do in your dining room!

Himalayan Salt Lamp with Dimmer Switch - Perfect Night Light For Nursery
Using a Himalayan Salt Lamp as a nightlight in your child's room may help relieve a range of health concerns and tackle sleep problems at the same time.
Himalayan Salt Lamps are known for creating a peaceful, relaxing and calming environment and are often used to help treat insomnia.
Having a lamp in your child's room may help them fall asleep faster with less periods of sleeplessness through the night.
A salt lamp can also act as an air purifier, removing positive ions from the air and releasing negative ions into the atmosphere of the room leaving the air cleaner for your child.
In addition, the lamp will clear the room of electro smog, reduce humidity and remove dust mites.
As the salt lamp is warmed by the bulb inside, it will attract moisture from the air, creating a dryer environment, which may relieve the symptoms of some skin conditions.
**All of our Salt Lamps come with a 'dimmer switch' and two bulbs so you have one extra when you need to replace**
Size: Small 1-2 Kg with Dimmer switch and two bulbs.
or Medium 2-3 kg with Dimmer switch and two bulbs.
We also sell 3-5 kg in store only.
*Please note: there is no factual evidence regarding salt lamps and their health benefits
Please note: Each salt lamp is unique and different and not one is the same as the other - lamps are sent at random and each cut is different to another. Photo shown is a sample.

Download Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet Study Guide
(History of the World: The 17th and 18th Centuries)
Article abstract: Bossuet was one of the most eloquent orators in seventeenth century France. In his sermons and funeral orations, he expressed profound psychological insights in a very refined and effective style. His major contributions were to rhetoric and sacred oratory.
Early Life
Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet was born in the Burgundian city of Dijon, where his father, Bénigne, was a lawyer. From 1636 to 1642, he attended a Jesuit school in Dijon, where he studied rhetoric, Greek, and Latin. During his lifetime, Bossuet read an enormous amount of works written in both Latin and Greek. His lengthy study with the Jesuits would help him years later to understand the many influences of the classical tradition on the development of Christian theology. In October of 1642, he began his preparation for the priesthood and his formal study of theology at the College of Navarre in Paris. Bossuet's major professor was the learned theologian Nicolas Cornet, who convinced Bossuet that a solid understanding of the early church fathers and Saint Thomas Aquinas was essential for the proper exposition of biblical texts. In 1652, Bossuet was ordained a priest and also received his doctorate in theology. Later in 1652, he moved to the French city of Metz, where he soon established a reputation as a very eloquent preacher. His fame would spread throughout France by the end of the 1650's. Even before he reached the age of thirty, Bossuet had enriched the cultural and spiritual life of France through his sermons.
Life's Work
Although Bossuet had a long and distinguished career as a bishop, as the private tutor for King Louis XIV's eldest son, as a respected member of the French Academy, and as a writer on such varied subjects as the history of Christianity, biblical exposition, and political theory, his fame rests largely on several well-crafted sermons and funeral orations that he delivered between the 1650's and the 1680's. Although his contemporaries greatly admired his very learned historical work Discours sur l'histoire universelle (1681; A Discourse on the History of the Whole World, 1686), this book and other of his extensive writings on the differences between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism are considered irrelevant by many contemporary theologians. Bossuet's eloquent sermons and funeral orations, however, included such universal themes as fear, despair, hope, the search for moral values, social injustice, and death that these speeches still continue to move even those readers who may not share Bossuet's religious beliefs.
Divine Providence constituted the unifying theme in Bossuet's works. Readers since his day have revered Sermon sur la providence (1662; Sermon on Providence, 1801), Sermon sur la mort (1662; Sermon on Death, 1801), and Oraison funèbre d'Henriette Anne d'Angleterre (1670; Funeral Oration for Henrietta of England, 1801). These masterpieces of French prose illustrate Bossuet's creativity in expanding the meaning of divine Providence in order to enrich his listeners' understanding of widely different human emotions.
On March 10, 1662, Bossuet preached his Sermon on Providence at the Louvre, then the French royal court. Twelve days later, he delivered Sermon on Death. These were part of a series of fourteen Lenten sermons that he gave at the royal court in 1662. Based on the sermon titles, listeners may well have thought that these two sermons would differ significantly in perspective and in subject matter. Yet these two sermons both illustrate the Christian belief that divine justice eventually rewards the just and punishes evildoers.
Bossuet argues quite sensibly that worldly success and pleasure are ephemeral. He uses a curious but effective comparison in order to convey this truth to his listeners. He reminds them that "pure wine" pleases the palate, whereas watered-down or "mixed wine" merely satisfies the thirst. Bossuet affirms that...

Renew a TLS certificate for GOV.UK
This document covers how to renew wildcard TLS certificates for
*.integration.publishing.service.gov.uk. It is a task performed
by Reliability Engineering.
Credentials for the Fastly dashboard and Zendesk support sites are in the 2nd line password store.
- Log into Gandi using the credentials in the infra password store.
- Go to the account dashboard and find the list of TLS certificates on the account.
- Find the certificate you wish to renew and click Renew. You need to
request a wildcard certificate (for example,
- Go through the steps on the renewal form until you reach a page requesting a Certificate Signing Request.
- Generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) for a renewal.
- Upload the CSR to Gandi by pasting the contents of the .csr file into the text box.
- Next, choose DNS validation to validate it and follow the instructions to add the relevant DNS records.
- Pay for it - we don't have a stored payment method, so find the person with the GDS credit card.
- Once the certificate has been renewed, paste the contents of the resulting .crt file into Puppet hiera data for the relevant environment in the govuk-secrets repository.
- Deploy Puppet to update the certificate in the relevant environment.
- For staging and integration only: Use Fastly's TLS Uploader to upload the newly generated certificate and private key. You need to split the contents of the .crt file into the first certificate (the actual certificate you've just renewed) and everything else (the certificate chain) and upload these as separate files.
- For staging and integration only: Make a note of the reference ID returned by the TLS Uploader. Open a new ticket with Fastly support quoting the reference ID and the service ID for the Fastly service the certificate is for (such as for "Staging GOV.UK") and asking them to make the certificate live. This process may take up to a week.

From Kimberly C. Patton's "Seas of Light Swept Through It", an essay included in Best Spiritual Writing 1998:
"[S]houted one older male [colleague] as our two large classes exchanged the lecture hall[,] 'I hear you have something in your belly!" At a faculty Christmas party: 'Bun in the oven, huh?' ... 'Why do these reactions bother me ...' I asked a dear friend ... who is devoutly Jewish. 'Am I hypersensitive?' ... He thought for a minute. 'Because they trivialize the mystery.'"
On the previous page Patton describes the awe she felt seeing the first ultrasound pictures of her fetus. Picking up some of the words she uses I wonder if Patton would have felt exalted by a colleague coming up to her in the crowded hall and exclaiming, "I hear you have 'a miniature, animate icon of God's incarnate glory' in your belly!"

The 2007 Tour of Honour reaches Emerald and Thuringowa
The theme for the week long tour is Challenging the Norm - Alternative Views of Success, and Tania and Shanaka gave the audience much to think about as they talked of their own experiences and insights.
The Emerald High School students took the opportunity to ask Tania and Shanaka all sorts of questions, asking how they felt receiving such an award, how their family and friends had reacted, as well as questions about their work. There were many budding chefs in the audience looking for advice from Shanaka about opening their own restaurant.
Today, the Tour team boarded a small aircraft for the 1½ hour flight to Thuringowa, near Townsville. At the brand new Riverway Centre, Shanaka and Tania spoke to school students, who were keen to ask the award recipients about how they had maintained their focus and inner strength in order to achieve success.
Both events so far have been fantastic opportunities for students and the award recipients to learn from each other, under the watchful and always entertaining host, Andrew Gill.
Tomorrow, Shanaka and Tania head to Mt Isa to learn more about life in one of Australia's most famous mining communities and participate in events for NAIDOC week, before heading to Cooktown on Friday.

Exclusive: Binet and Field's new B2B marketing researchMarketing Essays
In a special Promotion Fix column, I reveal new B2B marketing effectiveness research that Les Binet and Peter Field unveiled yesterday at a LinkedIn event in New York City:
The most effective practices in B2B marketing are mainly the same as in B2C because the two are actually not polar opposites, according to new findings from noted British researchers Les Binet and Peter Field that I have exclusively obtained for The Drum.
Binet and Field are most famous for The Long and The Short of It, a popular 2013 book published by the UK's Institute of Practitioners in Advertising (IPA) that recommends specific best practices in balancing short- and long-term marketing strategies. The two updated their findings in a presentation at EffWeek in London last year.
LinkedIn commissioned Binet and Field to study the same issues in a B2B context. The two presented their results at a private LinkedIn event in New York City yesterday (22 May). LinkedIn exclusively shared the major findings with me and The Drum in advance of a planned public release later this year. The new research uses Binet and Field's prior methodology but isolates the B2B case studies in the IPA's databank.
"Binet and Field's research has the potential to radically reshape the marketing industry by re-orienting marketers towards brand building strategies," Peter Weinberg, global lead of market development at LinkedIn Marketing Solutions, said. "Unfortunately, most B2B marketers are unfamiliar with this research, and the research itself does not distinguish between B2C and B2B marketing."
"We saw an opportunity to popularise Binet and Field's recommendations among our client base by commissioning a B2B cut of the data. In particular, we're trying to show our B2B clients that investing in both brand and demand is a more effective strategy than investing solely in lead generation."
Binet is head of effectiveness at the London communications agency adam&eveDDB. Field is a marketing consultant.
"Peter Field and I spent the last 12-13 years trying to understand how B2C marketing works, and I think we've made quite a bit of progress," Binet said in an interview. "We've established that there are some broad principles and rules that you need to follow. But nobody's ever been sure whether the same rules apply to B2B. We've now reached the point where we've got sufficient data to begin to do a bit of tentative analysis."

Cloud Carrier Of Kalinga
'Cloud Carrier Of Kalinga' is a work of fiction based on history. Kharvel of the Meghvahan (Cloud-Carrier) family of the Kings of Kalinga (Orissa) was not only the mightiest King of Kalinga, but also one of the most sagacious and far-sighted Kings of India. Though he was a ruler only of Kalinga, he had the rare vision to think of India first and then of Kalinga. No praise would be enough for him, for developing such a broad mind and large-heartedness, especially in the context of the times during which he ruled. Today India is one State, unlike Kharvel's times when the provinces of India had many rulers who were so shortsighted that they did not treat even their neighborly kings as brothers. They often quarreled due to their enormous egos, and were shut off within the shell of their egos so muddle-headedly that when foreign rulers invaded one province, all the other kings of the other provinces kept aloof.
Kharvel becomes more relevant to present day India, when leaders of one state do not like sharing river water with the states through which that river flows. Also when local leaders survive by inciting their people to not to let citizens of other Indian states come to their state to seek employment, so that the Maharaja-type lethargic leaders may be saved the trouble of creating jobs for them.
Kalinga had been invaded by the famous king of Magadh, Asoka, three centuries before Christ, where many Kalingites had been killed wantonly. That war was especially disgusting. The extent of its monstrosity can be surmised from the fact that it disgusted Asoka himself so much that he disbanded his army soon after, and declared himself a follower of the non-violent dharma of the Buddha. He followed non-violence so meticulously that though he was a devout Buddhist, he had it proclaimed throughout his kingdom that followers of other religions, like Jainism and Brahamanism should not be discriminated against. The strength of his non-violent governance must have been rare for he continued to be the only monk-king of history of such a vast Empire. He did not have to raise weapons, till his end, against any of the warlords and adventure seekers of those times that were always running mad near the Himalayas.
Kharvel united his people, governed them with justice, promoted literature, art and culture, and did so many extensive works of benefit for the people that he won their hearts. His bravery and wisdom aroused so much love in the hearts of his people that he was able to raise a mighty army, and went to take revenge for the massacre and humiliation that Asoka had piled on the Kalingites. It was a coincidence that the Greek King Demetrius also came the same day to avenge some wrong that Magadh had done to him. Demetrius sent a message to Kharvel to unite with him in humiliating Magadh, and become Magadh's King too, since, Demetrius claimed he had no intention to rule Magadh, and he would go back to his own kingdom soon after conquering Magadh.
The offer was tempting enough. Kharvel agreed to the terms. The battle was fought the next day, but it was not against Magadh, since Kharvel did not give him time to attack Magadh. He routed the Greeks. They fled. He chased them until they went out of the boundary of India. He had to fight twelve battles all along the way to force him beyond all the provincial borders of India!
Before parting he gave the baffled and exhausted Demetrius the message, "I can accept your friendship only on a promise that I would keep the barbarians away from the civilized world on this side of the Himalayas, while you keep them away on the other side of the Himalayas. You will have to accept that we shall fight battles only for the triumph of humanity, not for personal aggrandizement. Let us pledge that we shall fight only to protect the dignity and honor of humanity."
After three years, he returned and laid siege of Magadh. In the meantime, what he had done had endeared him to every citizen of Magadha and also the King. The doors of the Capital of Magadh were thrown open and the King of Magadh with a few generals and learned men walked out to invite Kharvel to occupy the throne of Magadh as well.
The King of Magadh offered his crown to Kharvel of his own freewill; nonetheless, tears of humiliation appeared in his eyes. Kharvel did not accept and instead, re-crowned the King of Magadha of the kingdom.
Kharvel attacked Demetrius because as civilized people the Greeks knew the value of the freedom and dignity of every human on earth, but they lacked the culture to practice it. They humiliated their enemies, their women, killed even the children, and did not hesitate to kill citizens, burn their libraries and their standing crops.
Kharvel took a second vow after seeing the irresistible tears of humiliation in the friendly eyes of the Magadhan King. He pledged that instead of fulfilling his earlier ambition to become the Chakravarti Emperor of India, he would crown the Goddess Saraswati, the Goddess of learning and the metauniverse, the Empress of India. He had seen that if he crowned himself, it would cause negative emotions of humiliation, envy and revenge. It had been the same story and it would be the same story that empowered negative emotions in mankind. He wanted to liberate humanity of the earlier archetype of the self-aggrandizement of all the kings. He wanted humanity to live by the human culture, not the archetypal and barbaric values of civilization.
The dream of Kharvel was a noble dream. It was also his wish to turn it into reality. It is true that kings of the world after him did not follow his example. Nonetheless, this noble example is not barren. One day humanity will have to follow it, for there can be no peace and happiness on earth unless we change our institutions in the light of the human culture, in stead of the institutions that we have built on the base of a civilization that is hypocritical, mechanical and soulless.
Nirmal Kumar's novel is written in a simple language. It does not sermonize. It is only imbued and inspired by human culture. It should survive for its noble and humanistic vision and the honest and truthful emotions that it evokes. It is full of interesting characters and events. A day will surely come when the political States will wither, the politicians will have no work left for them, when there will be no rulers and no ruled ones, when humanity would have left this artificial world and would have entered the spiritual world where everybody would have plenty, when there would be happiness and every human will be her/his own ruler.

Disclaimer – The view of the reviewer is his personal opinion about the book The TCS Story and beyond and in manner reflects his connections with TCS, hence maintaining an unbiased review of the book.
S. Ramadorai's "The TCS Story and Beyond" can be viewed as a study of what it takes to build a great company out of almost nothing. The teamwork and the leadership grit that propelled Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) to be the pioneers in its own field, this is the story of the company that revolutionised the Indian IT industry into one gigantic money churning machine it is today.
As Mr Ramadorai himself puts that this book is not an attempt at glory, but to inspire the next generation of professionals who must think of problems very differently. The TCS story is supposed to be an inspiration.
The book talks about the early days of TCS how and what catered the need for laying the foundation of an IT based company within the TATA group, with a meagre investment of Rs 50 lakhs ($110,000). The idea was simple to be able to process the data of its various subsidiary companies like Tata Iron and Steel (TISCO, now Tata Steel), Tata Engineering and Locomotives Works (Telco, now Tata Motors) and Tata Electric being the major ones among them. The book talks about how the early days and struggles of top management of TCS were and how they fought out with. It goes into detail about trying to explain in how many possible Indian laws were screwed up for any IT start up. The best part of the book though is not its detail or not why TCS is the biggest IT Company in India, but about inspirational it can be if you want to be a part of something big.
"The TCS Story and Beyond" establishes the fact that the Tata's have committed themselves to the task of nation building be it any sector or industry in India. The Tata's are truly the pioneers of IT revolution in India. Also the kind of difficulties TCS faced in the period of 'license raj' was well narrated. It makes us to feel how cumbersome the policies has been laid that importing a mainframe computer to India would fetch nearly 2 years from the order, despite paying twice the cost of the computer as tax, custom duties, etc., Hardship faced by TCS on several occasions due to govt policies and the way it has limited TCS's and India's ability to march ahead in tandem to other developed/developing countries is also expressed elegantly. The mentioning of patriotism shown by TATAs is sprinkled almost everywhere as the reverence with his boss Kohli was shown. Some of the best practices inculcated by TCS was boasted. This books made me feel that when some people over here (India) talks about emigrate to another country seeing the kind of difficulties they're facing from the govt. policies, bureaucracies, hurdles, etc.,
The book had a few downsides also that at certain points it seems like a mandate for TCS, more like a pep talk, Mr Ramadorai mentioned the achievements TCS was getting but failed to clarify as to what the market situation was at that moment.
In all final word if you are an entrepreneur and are looking forward to some ideals to base your commitments on then this one is a must read, or else it's a good book written by a very smart person.

Scotland's smallest butterfly has experienced a boost in numbers for the first time in a decade, wildlife charity Butterfly Conservation (BC) can reveal.
The Small Blue has declined across Scotland by more than 50% over the last ten years, but last year BC recorded a 10% increase in the butterfly's numbers compared to 2017.
Nature enthusiasts across Scotland are being asked to look for the butterfly this summer, so experts can monitor its progress and ensure conservation work is targeting the right areas.
BC Scotland and the Tayside Biodiversity Partnership are launching a Small Blue Butterfly Week on Saturday 1 June until Sunday 9 June, where people can go on guided walks to find the butterfly, or take part in habitat creation work.
The butterfly can be seen flying from May until late June and is found across a number of habitats, including sand dunes, rocky coastal grasslands, brownfield sites and occasionally on river shingle.
The Small Blue's upper wings are dark grey with a very light dusting of blue scales and the butterfly is much darker in appearance than Scotland's most widespread blue butterfly, the Common Blue.
Director of BC Scotland, Paul Kirkland, said: "We're thrilled the Small Blue experienced a 10% increase last year and we've already had sightings this year at a reintroduction site in Ayrshire, but this butterfly is still rare in Scotland and urgent conservation work is needed to protect its remaining colonies and encourage the butterfly to spread back into its former territory.
"This is the third Small Blue Week to take place and this year's activities are happening in Angus, Caithness, Aberdeenshire, the Cairngorms, Moray and the Borders - all involving local communities in survey, monitoring and practical management work."
Tayside Biodiversity Officer, Catherine Lloyd, who helps to co-ordinate conservation efforts for the butterfly in Angus, said: "The focus of our work has been to increase habitat for this butterfly by growing and planting Kidney Vetch – the sole food plant for the Small Blue caterpillar.
"This is very much a team-effort, as we not only have two local businesses involved – Scotia Seeds Ltd and Celtica Wildflowers – but this year the Food is Free Carnoustie group and other volunteers have also offered to grow Kidney Vetch.
"We are also very grateful to the various schools in and around Carnoustie who, together with Carnoustie Golf Links, are continuing to help plant up areas of the coast with Kidney Vetch."
During Small Blue Week, volunteers are being asked to visit known sites for the butterfly to help look for it and its food plant.
Surveys will also take place to identify any potential new Small Blue breeding sites.
Paul Kirkland added: "We are really pleased at the ongoing support for 'Small Blue Week' shown by local people and landowners. Especially when one of our most northerly colonies of the Small Blue is threatened by a proposed golf course development at Coul Links, near Dornoch.
"A campaign is underway to save this site, but ultimately the decision lies with Scottish Ministers. All we can do now is carry on with our conservation work and hope the efforts of the public and some good weather will boost this butterfly's numbers even further this year."
Butterfly Conservation is urging members of the public to make their concerns about Coul Links known to Ministers .
Small Blue Week is running from Saturday 1 until Sunday 9 June and a number of events are taking place during this time, including:
Angus: A guided walk take place on 1st June in Carnoustie, starting at the Leisure Centre carpark https://butterfly-conservation.org/events/east-scotland-small-blue-butterfly-walk .There will also be a training/survey session at Barry Buddon on 8th June. Contact Glyn Edwards at @email for more information.
Borders: Several sites have been located in the Burnmouth area in recent years where the butterfly seems to be surviving well and spreading to new sites. Contact Barry Prater at @email for more information on how to help.
Cairngorms: Half a dozen colonies remain in Strathspey. Butterfly Conservation's Highland Branch has run events to restore the habitat at a site near the Boat of Garten.

We should have seen this coming. With so many things going on in the world that distract our attention away from what we should be doing, is it any wonder that distraction free writing tools have become a trend?
It's not just writing that's an issue, though. Productivity and efficiency are at war with the growing multitude of distractions that occur throughout the day, and few are worse than what happens while we're working on our Macs or using iPhone or iPad. The applications we use each day can be productive for us, but we're inundated with Notification Center alerts for Facebook, Twitter, Mail, Skype, FaceTime, and a gazillion other apps vying for our attention.
What we need is a distraction free app that frees us from the distractions. That's Focus, a simple Mac Menubar utility which creates an optimal work environment on your Mac by prohibiting you from opening or using specific apps during specific times.
What Focus does is block websites and apps from starting so you can stay focused on whatever you're doing.
Focus sounds complex, and indeed there are plenty of thoughtful options to give you granular control over what you do on your Mac and when you do it, but the learning curve is gentle so it works immediately but can be customized to handle a rigorous, convoluted work schedule.
Focus blocks websites from being used in Safari, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox. That means you choose which website NOT to use during a specific time period. No Facebook. No browsing. Just work. And no distractions.
Focus can be used as a Pomodoro timer to break down your work– free from distractions– into small segments of time (Pomodoro style) which ends up making you more productive with less effort.
Built-in to Focus is a little motivational tool which pops up a motivational quote whenever a distracting website is blocked. It comes with dozens of such quotes but you can customize the library and add your own.
And, yes, Focus blocks other Mac apps that tend to be annoying while you're trying to get some real work done. Say goodby to Twitter, Skype, Mail and others that always seem to interrupt you just as get into, well, focus.
Focus is somewhat similar in function to OneFocus, another Mac utility which gives you even more granular controls over which apps can be used during a time period, effectively blocking all other apps. That makes OneFocus a bit easier to use, yes, but also easier to break from the routine of staying distraction free.
Remember, your time is valuable. You only get so many minutes and hours in your lifetime, so focusing on what needs to be done instead of being distracted by seemingly urgent activities that do not result in accomplishment, rewards you beyond expectations.

Jericho Oil (JCO.V) is taking advantage of the current low oil price environment to scoop up (producing) oil assets from companies in distress. This is the perfect time to start building an oil company by acquiring profitable assets on the cheap. They have an excellent chance to build the current small-scale production out towards becoming a mid-tier producer.
Jericho recently also closed the acquisition of STACK acreage, and we expect the company to start drilling sooner rather than later. 2018 will be a very busy year for this oil company.

Bikes, boats and animals – full-on adventure days for half-term
THE summer holidays may be over but there's another break just around the corner, so plan an adventure with a difference.
HOP ON: Surfing in Watergate Bay, Cornwall
The wide, dramatic sweep of North Cornwall's Watergate Bay, its expanse of sand bracketed by dark boulders and cliffs, is one of the county's best family (and dog-friendly) beaches. It is home to a Jamie Oliver Fifteen restaurant and to the Extreme Academy at Watergate Bay (01637 860840/extremeacademy.co.uk), which offers lessons in surfi ng, kite-surfing and waveski, a cross between a kayak and a surfboard. ? Two-hour introduction to bodyboarding, £25, half-day surfi ng lessons from £35.
You might think attending an Arsenal Soccer School (020 7619 5000/playthearsenalway.com) would mean a trek to the Emirates in north London or the training ground in Hertfordshire but the club's programme of teaching wannabe Theo Walcotts or budding Alex Oxlade-Chamberlains the secrets of the top players has spread all over the country. You can choose from a one-day course in Truro for 6-12s, a two-day non-residential course in Paignton (4-6s) and a non-residential four-day course in Woking (4-14s), with other locations and age ranges available. And they are aimed at both boys and girls. ? Two hours from £5/four days from £69.
Junior petrolheads under 17 who are at least 5ft are able to have an adrenaline-fi lled go at driving a Mercedes saloon, or a 4x4, at the steel-and-glass Mercedes-Benz World (0370 400 4000/ mercedes-benzworld.co.uk) which occupies part of the historic Brooklands race track near Weybridge. It starts with the basics but moves on to the exciting bits in the company of a seasoned pro. You do this on safe, modern surfaces, but the old track itself, now cracked and overgrown, is still hugely evocative: close your eyes and you can hear the distant thrum of Bentleys and Napiers echoing down the years. ? Thirty minutes from £45.
WISE UP: Owl fun at Bovey Castle in Devon
Half-term coincides with the build-up to Halloween and many attractions are polishing their skulls and dusting down their broomsticks. During half-term week and until November 1, Warwick Castle (0871 265 2000/warwick-castle.com), which is everything you want from a fantasy castle, with battlements, siege engines and drawbridges, becomes the Haunted Castle with a twilight Fire Joust by ghostly knights, the Witches' Tower (with dressing up and spell writing), a Haunted Hollows spooky trail and a 50-minute walk-through experience of the castle dungeon. ? The castle will stay open until 9pm. From £17 per adult, £15 per child.
Burn off excess energy with a family "off-piste" mountain bike experience in Wales. Mudtrek (01267 202423/ mudtrek.com), a ski chalet-like biking centre atop Llanllwni Mountain in Carmarthenshire, offers exciting guided rides along the world-class bike trails in Brechfa, switchbacking through the splendid forest. Back at base everything is fully catered, including packed lunches, and at night there are movies or DVDs of your ride to watch in the "Mud Hut". ? Two nights from £150, full board. Bike hire £40 per day.
"Pop-up" activity/sport day camps aimed at 5-12 year olds are available from October 26-30 in Brighton, Godalming, Staines and Hampstead, run by Kingswood Camps (01603 309300/kingswood.co.uk). On offer are supervised activities such as circus skills, ultimate frisbee, football, tag rugby, netball and much more. ? From £40 per day.
The RYA-approved Mylor Sailing School (01326 377633/mylorsailingschool. co.uk), near Falmouth in Cornwall, offers "have a go at sailing" days on October 25 and 27. The days will give an inkling of why speeding over the waves under wind power is so addictive. All equipment, including wetsuits, buoyancy aids and helmets, is provided. Improvers also welcome. ? From £16 half day.
AHOY: Sailing school in Cornwall
Caythorpe Court in Lincolnshire is a Grade II listed hunting lodge from 1901 that looks as if it belongs in Downton Abbey. It is now an adventure centre that offers families with children from five to 18 a grand total of 23 different activities this October half-term. PGL (0844 371 0101/pgl.co.uk) has taken over the 65 acres of grounds surrounding the Edwardian manor house and it now has two man-made lakes, archery ranges, a challenging "high ropes" course, a tunnel trail and an outdoor sports pitch. ? Four nights from £279 per adult, £235 per child (sharing a family room), full board, with activities.
The Bowles (01892 665665/bowles.ac) outdoor activity centre near Tunbridge Wells in Kent features a dry ski slope and an impressive outdoor sandstone climbing wall, with easy to challenging climbs. It has a variety of courses for 8-15 year olds including one on October 27 focusing on rock climbing and bushcraft, with other days featuring skiing and snowboarding tuition. ? Half day from £30, full day, £50.
BEAR GRYLLs-ISH
For those who fancy indulging in a little luxury while the children frolic through the grounds, the recently refurbished Bovey Castle (01647 445000/prideof britainhotels.com) in Devon offers a comprehensive list of outdoor/survival activities. The Bovey Rangers club caters to 7-14 year olds. These include float fishing, raft building, survival skills, archery and hands-on sessions with reptiles and owls. ? Activities from £32. Family rooms from £368 per night (four sharing), room-only.
A one-day "Animal Wisdom" course on identifying with and tracking animals is on offer from bushcraft specialists Natural Pathways (01304 842045/naturalpathways. co.uk). Taking place in woodland near Canterbury, Kent, it includes lessons in the "Fox Walk", how to creep silently through a forest and how to increase your observational hunting skills. ? From £33, or £119 (family of four).
Running until November (weather permitting), North 58º Sea (01309 690099/north58. co.uk) uses exciting RIB powerboats to take adults and children alike out to explore the coast and wildlife of Scotland's Moray Firth. The two-hour voyages from Findhorn often encounter seals, porpoises and dolphins, as well as many species of seabirds. Goggles and life jackets provided. ? From £27 per adult, £22 per child.

Environmental activists are losing the public debate, so (naturally) they run to the courts to get judges to enact their radical agenda. From the "climate trial" in San Francisco, to the case to preserve the planet on behalf of "the children," the litigation seems endless. What's the status of these cases? And will they succeed?

28 Argonaut, Suite 100
Aliso Viejo, CA 85254
It seems most people we speak with are focused solely on matching their current coverage limits and the cost of their insurance policies, and not the actual risks that they are trying to protect against. The various "Save X % in Y minutes" advertising has falsely framed personal insurance as a commodity, causing many consumers to focus solely on the cost of coverage. As a result, many consumers learn at the worst possible time—after an uncovered loss. The words used by product peddlers to lure them into buying a "low cost" insurance policy mean just what the peddlers intended them to mean: save money now/never mind the protection.
Of course, consumer obsession over the search for a "good deal" is not unique to the insurance industry. Carl Richards, the author of Behavior Gap, reminds us that consumer focus on product is exploited by those who are paid to sell product. He explains, "Most of us are trained to think 'What' first, because it's what you hear about all day long. But 'What' questions should come after we think about 'Why' and 'How'. Starting with 'Why' means achieving clarity about your insurance expectations and creating a plan."
Deceitful advertising that frames cost as the only factor in buying insurance has robbed consumers of the ability to ask the larger, far more important questions. Even simple questions like, "Why am I buying this insurance policy?" "Why buy insurance for your home, for your car, or to protect your assets from lawsuits?" The purpose of insurance is to transfer large losses from you to the insurance company, isn't it?
If you start with the 'why' you can shift your focus to the reason why you buy insurance and to what extent you want it to protect you. Then you move to the 'how' to make sure that your policies will actually protect you or least know to what extent they'll protect you. Now you can focus on the 'what' – finding the best price on coverage that you actually need.
When we review the insurance plan of a typical family, this is what we usually find:
This mixed bag of insurance policies has no coordination, is clearly way out of balance, and premiums are being poorly allocated. If anything were to happen if would be financially disastrous.
What's missing from nearly everyone's program is a personal risk manager or overseer, someone skilled in every area of insurance who can make sure that their plan is in balance, all the coverage limits are adequate, and all the major gaps are covered. And, of course, makes sure that the premiums as low as possible.

Geriatric oncology is an emerging subspecialty of oncology,
developed in response to the ageing population. This research has
broad application to clinical practice given the median age at
diagnosis of a patient with cancer in Australia is 68 years.
Informing oncologists of the utility of the CARG Score to predict
chemotherapy toxicity in older adults will improve clinical
decisionmaking and treatment selection, and reduce treatment
morbidity. This research is innovative; this risk score has not
undergone extensive external validation, or been compared to
routine clinical practice. The survey study is innovative in that
older adults' decisionmaking preferences have not been adequately
explored despite the recognised importance of incorporating patient
preferences into decisionmaking.

Juice Jam – I'm addicted!
I hope I have used the proper terminology, but the above video is "actual game footage". I recorded it on my phone using the screen record function. This is my favourite game and I have it on my phone, my old phone and my Kindle!!!
I'm currently stuck on that level, but hopefully I'll crack it soon.
Uploading to Vimeo was an experiment.
Thank you for visiting my blog today. Please leave me some feedback below. I'd love to know what you think.
Happy blogging!
