How to create an Interaction Type Experiment [Interactions]
If you want to create an interaction type experiment in which you want to target particular segments of visitors and show them personalized messages, you've come to the right place. Let's start creating your first "Interaction" experiment.
Go to 'Interactions' tab into your dashboard.
In the next window choose the option 'New Interaction'.
After that, a new window will appear from which you will have to choose how would you like the experiment to be triggeredbased on your objective. There are three possibilities :
- On Load: The on load trigger means that the interaction type experiment will appear after the page is loaded.
This feature comes with a delay option that can be set up in the Creative.
- On Exit: The on exit trigger means that the interaction type experiment will be shown to the visitor the second he tries to exit the page by moving the mouse towards the URL bar or the tab's/browser's close button.
- On Scroll: The on scroll trigger is used when you want to show the experiment after the visitor scrolls down a certain percentage of your page. So if you set it up at 50% it means that after the visitor scrolls down half of the page the interaction will be triggered for him.
After you have selected the triggering method for your experiment you will need to choose your "Audience". That means that you must "Manage the pages where you want to run this experiment" and select the "Segment" (Target) of visitors you want to see the experiment.
To select the pages where you want to run the experiment you can choose from different conditions for the URL :
- URL is: Using this the survey will run only on the exact page introduced in the value field next to the condition
- URL is not: Using this the survey will run on all the other pages but the one introduced in the value field next to the condition
- URL starts with: With this condition, the survey will run on all the pages that have an URL which starts with the same value as inserted in the value field
- URL ends with: The survey will run on all the pages that have an URL which ends with the same value as inserted in the value field next to the condition
- URL contains: Using this condition the survey will run on all the pages that contain in their URL the same value as the one inserted in the value field
- URL does not contain: Using this condition the survey will run on all the pages that do not contain in their URL the value entered in the value field
- URL RegEx: Using this you can define with RegEx the pages where you want the survey to run
- Page contains keyword: With this, the survey will run only on the pages that contain the keyword or keywords in a small sentence/grouped format
This is an example of a product description
This is an awesome product with awesome features at half of the price of other providers.
Correct keyword to use: awesome product Not correct keyword to use: awesome providers
If you don't have a large amount of traffic on your website, we recommend you to add multiple pages in the test.
When you do this you must add only the pages that have the same structure as in case of an e-commerce website where all of the product pages look similar.
After you've done managing the pages where you want to run the experiment select the "Segment" of visitors who will see the survey by clicking on the drop-down button.
After you'll click on it the "Select a segment" window will appear. From this window, you can choose a segment that has been already created or create a new one.
To uncover the second part of the page you must click on "Advanced settings". There you can add a maximum number of visitors (once that number is reached the experiment will stop) and select the devices where you want the interaction to be visible. After that you must select the frequency with which the experiment will be shown to the visitors of your website.
In the end, you have the option to mark it as exclusive, meaning that no other experiments/surveys will be triggered for the visitors who already viewed this one, for the time it is running.
Now that you have finished with the "Audience" part let's start implementing the interactions you wish to show in the "Variations" tab. From there you must "Select or create a new creative".
What is a creative? Simple, creatives are art-works like pop-ups, ribbons, interstitials that are triggered in specific moments (e.g. : when the visitor wants to leave the webpage). They are an important part in developing an interaction type experiment. Click here to find more about creatives.
If you haven't created or uploaded your creatives yet, you can do this now. After you press the drop-down button above the "Select a creative" window will appear. From there you can select an already made creative or create a new one.
To make a new one just click on new creative.
After you've clicked to make a new creative select the creative type. You have 11 options to choose from.
Once you've selected the creative type you'll be taken to the next window from where you can choose an already made creative, upload your own or use the code editor to make one.
You can also view a live demo of the templates, filter them by their type or by language.
After you've chosen/uploaded or created the desired creative you will be automatically sent to the Code editor window. From there you can edit your creative, add more details to it like a count down timer, action buttons, Custom attributes or OnPage variables. You can also select to view Source and add HTML/JavaScript or CSS code to your creative.
Once you've finished with the creative in Code Editor click on the "Final step" button at the bottom of the page and you'll be taken to the final settings. There you must name your creative, in order to save it, and also change the general and appearance settings that apply to the container.
You can set up:
- Creative name: set a name for the creative, otherwise, you won't be able to save it
- Close button: When the check-box "visible" is checked it means that the "X" close button is visible for the visitor. If it is not checked the "X" close button will not be visible but the visitor will still be able to close the creative by clicking anywhere around it.
- Overlayer: Here you can select the background color that will be shown around the creative and the percentage of the opacity of that color. ( This option will be visible only for "Interstitial" and "Pop-up" types of creatives )
- Appear after: From here you can set the number of seconds you want to delay the appearance of the creative. This feature works only with the "On load" trigger that you'll set up when you start the interaction.
- Disappear after: Here you can add the number of seconds you want the creative to be visible to the visitor before it automatically closes.
- Appearance settings: Here you can add/edit CSS code that will be applied to the container around the creative made earlier in the previous step.
Saving the creative will take you on to the "select a creative" window from where you must add it to your web interaction experiment.
In the next tab "Traffic Allocations and Goals" you will select the percentage of visitors that will see the experiment. This percentage will be randomly extracted from the segment you have decided to use. You can run the test on all of the visitors who are included in the segment or just a part of them (let's say 50%).
After the percentage of visitors is set you can use the variation traffic selector to modify how much of that percentage will see the "Control" ( the page simple without creative ) and how much the "Variation" ( the page with the creative/pop-up/ribbon etc.).
In the second part of the page, you will find the "Goals". A goal is set to track sales, conversion rate, click rate, engagement, etc.
You can set them as page views or customizable goals such as conversion rate, sales – that require inserting a shortcode into the website's source. The customizable goals allow you to see the impact of the interaction experiment in the performance indicators: conversion rate, revenue, etc.
There are 3 predefined goals that you can use – Sale ( which works only after the Goal tracking code is inserted on the thank you page of your website – Click here for more details), Engagement and Bounce rate.
The last step of setting up an interaction type experiment is "Schedule"-ing it. Choose for how long to set it live (days, weeks, months etc ), when to be triggered to your visitors and whether or not you want to receive an email when it has expired.
Last, but not least, Rename the Interaction type experiment, if you didn't set a name for it from the beginning and then PUBLISH it.
That's it! You're ready to see if your interaction converts more!
DON'T FORGET : After each modification made you have to wait 3-4 minutes until it will be visible in the front end.

Today, we see that our children are exposed to media and a constant technological advancing world. The result is that our children know much more about sex, makeup, how to look good, expensive brands, boyfriends etc, then we knew at their age. My daughters are aged 11 and 6 years, but both surprise me with their demands and knowledge of things around them. In this article, we talk about Let Kids Be Kids.
Most of the time we hear parents say that their children have grown up fast. There are extreme reactions – one moment we find that they are tightly hugging their teddy bear and talking cutely, while the next moment they are talking about their crush on pop stars and film stars.
[content-egg module=Amazon template=grid]
Many a time the pre-teen and the early teenage years are quite confusing for children. They try to act like adults while they don't have the emotional maturity to match it. Too much emphasis on topics like sex, material things like dressing up, makeup etc., will leave them unable to cope up with the responsibilities and difficulties that come with it.
Childhood is defined as a time of simple pleasures and this childhood is currently threatened and shortened. One of the main disadvantages of growing up too fast is that children lose their innocence with half-baked information too soon. The result is that they become sexually aware and active too early in life.
Children become more focused on their physical appearances. This leads to self-esteem issues, increased materialism and also eating disorders. Many companies are marketing their products and making our children as mini adult consumers. Many young girls are reaching the age of puberty as young as 8 years, which again is very disturbing as it brings complications in their body.
Today, children have more challenges due to more commercial and media influence. There is more peer pressure to grow up soon. They are easily influenced by what they see around them and want to imitate it.
Let Kids Be Kids
Today let us look at how you can slow down their fast growing up.
Have control over their Television and Internet
It is important to have control over what your children watch. Today, television, mobile phones and internet can easily access all pictures, films and other stuff which are not age appropriate to your children. Have safe parental controls and avoid exposing them to these things early in life.
Internet and TV watching should be in open areas in the house like the living room and not in locked bedrooms. Reading books, magazines, tablets, mobiles and other things should also be monitored from a safe distance without prying on them.
If you are unhappy with what they want to wear, eat, drink or simply go out with a certain group of friends that you are not comfortable with, just say "No". Remember you are their parents and you are not in some popularity contest, wherein you have to agree with everything that they say. It would be good to explain to them the reasons for your action and be assured that later in life they will be glad that you had instilled right values in them.
Try to be balanced by giving them some opportunities to take their own decisions.
It is important that you are not always denying them. Find a balance middle ground wherein they are also encouraged to take individual decisions. For e.g., you might not agree to their demand of wearing a torn jean with a suggestive slogan t-shirt but you may allow them to wear a light lip gloss or allow them to have coffee with their friends on a weekend afternoon.
Keep Interactions on Social Media limited.
Younger children are getting addicted to social media like facebook, twitter, Instagram and other sites. They get caught up in this imaginary world by taking pride in having more number of followers or being cool on social media.
If you do have your children above 16 years on social media, then have yourself on their friend's list so that you can monitor their interactions. Most of the children divulge too much of information on social media leading to cyberbullying and cause for safety concern.
Most of the time we are concerned about our daughters, how they should dress, talk and other things. But it is also important for us to look and train our sons as they will never be able to respect women if they are not taught to do so early in life.
Discuss with your child about the things that influence them.
All our children are influenced in one way or the other by the constant media interactions. Nowadays, we observe that almost every song has dirty lyrics or rebellious words or swear words. So it is very important to tell them why these words are unacceptable and explain to them how others will react to it. Tell them people might get offended by their language if it is rude and inappropriate.
Many a time my children ask me about some new swear words or wrong words that they have heard from their peer group. This is a time to explain to them the importance of using correct and kind language. Most of the time my bedtime bible stories revolve around values that they can learn. You need to stress the fact that words have the power to bless or curse someone. God wants us to use our words wisely as words are life-giving.
Be open to discussions on Sex.
It is important for a child to ask about age appropriate sex information. Please do not ignore their questions related to sex but answer them in an age-appropriate way. Remember they are inquisitive and if you do not answer their questions, then they are most likely to get wrong information from their outside sources. Don't let it be one discussion only but discuss it multiple times in bits and parts so that they understand the complexity and their responsibility.
Instill the right values in your children.
In this world of commercialism and materialism, teach them values which will keep them grounded. Encourage them by complimenting them on non-physical appearance-related aspects like their sporting achievement, an act of kindness, singing or helping others etc. Compliment them in all areas so that they understand that you love them unconditionally, irrespective of their physical looks.
Look carefully into their pre-teen talks about girlfriends and boyfriends.
It is important as a parent to know where your teenager is spending time. You need to know if they are hanging out alone with any specific person. You need to make them understand to focus on their academics and other important things before making these life-changing decisions. Help them to see through things. Let them know your views and values. It is this time that you have to keep a close watch on them in order to be sure that you are not caught by surprise.
Simple pleasures.
Always have a holiday on a farm, beach or a picnic spot without any electronic gadgets. Enjoy nature walking, climbing, playing on the beach etc. These simple pleasures will back their laughter and childhood memories.
These are some of the important points that parents can keep in mind in order to avoid their children from growing up too fast.

Nintendo announced that a new 3D Mario game will be announced at E3 2013 for the Wii U. The staff here at GVN was wondering which 3D Mario game gamers wanted to see a sequel to the most, Super Mario Sunshine or Super Mario Galaxy. However, there's also the option of getting something new like the 3DS did with Super Mario 3D Land.
Something New-
Built for the WiiU and only able to be played on a WiiU (2 Screen) set-up.
An HD remake of Super Mario 64 coupled with a brand new 3D Mario experience wouldn't hurt.

'This shower is OVER': Why it's so hard for mums to shower … alone
It was a sunny Sunday morning, and I thought I'd kick the day off with a long, uninterrupted shower. The scene was set: my four kids were all busy doing their own thing and playing like angels. We had no place to be, no busy plans that meant I needed to rush through things so we could get out on time.
This was a special morning, indeed.
I thought about the hot water that would soon cascade over me, and how relaxing the steamy room would be, with just me in there … alone with my thoughts.
Pure bliss, I thought, as I stealthily crept up the stairs, making sure none of the kids noticed my disappearing and suddenly needed me for something. Their dad was with them, so he could take field requests while I was gone. I grabbed my towel and shut the bathroom door behind me, and clocked off mum duty, for at least twenty amazing minutes.
Alone time lasted two minutes
Standing under the hot water, feeling my worries wash away, I had about two of those amazing minutes before there was a knock at the door.
MORE Family
'Mum!' a voice called from behind it.
'I'm not in here!' I called.
'Mum!' The door opened, and my daughter appeared. 'I want to come in the shower with you!'
I mean, come on! This was my one long shower of the week. Surely I deserved just twenty measly minutes to myself? I watched my daughter's face fall and immediately felt guilty. Our weeks are always crazy-busy and it's so hard to spend quality time with each of them.
'Okay,' I relented. 'Come on in. I'll wash your hair.'
So the two of us squeezed together under the water and I washed her hair, thinking that at least this way I could make sure she was well and truly clean. Plus, I knew how happy I'd made her. I looked down at her beaming face and decided it was still a lovely shower time, even if my body was partially out of the water and freezing cold.

Another visitor arrives
Then, the next knock at the door.
'We're not in here!' I tried again.
The door pushed open and in came one of my twins.
'Mum, I need a poo.' he said, and popped himself on the toilet.
'Can't you use the downstairs toilet?' I asked, as the smell of poop quickly filled the air, compounded by the warm steam from the shower. Suddenly I didn't feel so clean.
Even though the room now stank, I left him sitting there while I finished washing my daughter's hair, and then the door opened again (no knock this time), as my older son entered the room, holding his iPad excitedly.
'Mum I got my favourite player!' he said, gesturing at his soccer game.
'Awesome, hun! Good job!' I answered, trying to shield my naked self behind my daughter. I'm all for promoting a healthy body image, but I was starting to feel pretty darn naked in that small bathroom full of kids. Plus I was freezing as cheeky daughter had pretty much squeezed me right out of the hot water.
'Mum, I'm finished.' said my four-year-old on the loo, ready for me to help clean him up.
This shower is OVER
Sighing, I decided it was time to call it a day. The shower was over – but hey, at least I'd got those two minutes, right at the start!
I dried myself off and helped my little man clean himself up and wash his hands, and in the middle of all that, his twin brother walked in, to see where everyone was.
'Mum, I miss you. I want a cuddle,' he said.
I could have cried a little by this point. Within five minutes of my precious hot shower, I'd been surrounded by all my kids, who, like most other kids, have this built-in radar for sensing when their mum is elsewhere and has removed her attention from them.
It's the same radar that makes them suddenly need you when you're on the phone, trying to pee in private or steal a few minutes on social media. You always think they're happily occupied, but attempt any of these things and they're right by your side, desperate for your attention.
It's a survival thing. Or something.
I learned in a lecture once that this was all part of kids' attachment systems, which get activated when they sense we're not available. It's like a survival thing – back in the cave days if mum wasn't around, that meant starvation and death. Or something like that.
As I got dressed and watched all my kids disperse happily, now that they knew mum was back on the scene, I only felt mildly disappointed. There would be more private showers. Maybe not for another decade or so, but my time would come. For now, I had to let my kids be kids, and I was okay with them needing me, even if it meant alone shower time stayed off the agenda for a while.
Besides, it was a great excuse for booking a much-needed hotel break. There are some great deals around.

Another dope live act at the pill tonight, as fiery Brooklyn/Boston indie pop kids the Toothaches drop by our little dance party at Great Scott. While I feel like I abandoned quirky indie pop a long time ago, these boys and girls have the goods, and provide a old-skool pill break from the waves of synthpop bands we've been having. The quickshot bio from the pill boston dot com:
After weeks of sitting in the lobby of the proverbial dentist's office, the pill gets its indie pop filling this Friday as we welcome the Toothaches to our saccharine-soaked Great Scott stage. Like My Favorite on a frenetic meth binge or Belle & Sebastian in an alleyway knifefight, the Brooklyn-based but Boston-bred Toothaches have brought a much needed ferocity to the indie pop genre. The local press has been succumbing to twee-bit -cavities since the band released its debut EP straight out its Jamaica Plain kitchen last year, and their recent 7-inch release party with Pretty & Nice sent GS into a pogo-pop frenzy, marking cardigans as gang colors and glockenspiels as gats. Do not fuck with the Toothaches.

Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo excited for 2016
Recommended Video:
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. >> The first day of the NFL free agent signing period marked a different kind of holiday for Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.
"That was nice. It was like Christmas," Spagnuolo said Friday, when first-year coach Ben McAdoo's staff met with the media. "(General manager) Jerry Reese and his staff did a great job of identifying the guys, then being real aggressive and getting what we think are some good football players. It's exciting."
Spagnuolo had good reason to look upon Reese's March 9 haul of impact veterans as a potential remedy for the league's worst pass defense. Reese spent more than $204 million in just a few hours to lure Dolphins defensive end Olivier Vernon, Rams cornerback Janoris Jenkins, Jets defensive tackle Damon "Snacks" Harrison, and Redskins linebacker Keenan Robinson.
Add to that list the Giants' own pass-rushing star Jason Pierre-Paul, who agreed to terms on a one-year deal the previous day.
Vernon, Jenkins, and Harrison were regarded as the free agent class' top pass rusher, cover cornerback, and run stopper.
But Spagnuolo was especially excited by the potential pressure on quarterbacks the front trio will exert to rejuvenate a pass rush that finished with a league-low 23 sacks in 2015.
"What we did with the front helps everybody," Spagnuolo said. "That's not going to be different from any defense in the NFL. Pressure on the quarterback is what it's all about in this league. It makes everybody a better player — linebackers, secondary players."
The lack of consistent, late-game pressure became a major reason for the Giants' five fourth-quarter collapses. But Spagnuolo was hopeful that fresh ideas from new assistants such as line coach Patrick Graham, line assistant Jeff Zgonina, linebackers coach Bill McGovern, and cornerbacks coach Tim Walton could meld with the new veterans to spark marked improvement.
"When you bring in new ideas and new opinions, it's twofold," Spagnuolo said. "You can gather new ideas about what other people have been doing, and I think we've got some great guys here. And it's always good when someone comes in and says, 'Why are you calling it that?' or 'Why are you doing this?' So that's been really good. The give and take and the interaction has been great."
Graham, who previously coached Bill Belichick's defensive line in New England, saw a lot of potential in his new situation.
"I'm at home trying to coach my wife up, and she's not taking too kindly to that," Graham said. "I'm excited to be working with all the guys in that room. I can't wait until coach breaks from the squad meeting and I get to go in there with 'Z' and we get to talk to the guys as a group."
Spagnuolo and Graham do have one reclamation project: The Giants are relying on Pierre-Paul to look more like the double-digit sacker of 2011 and 2014 than the one-sack disappointment that followed a July 4 fireworks accident that blew off his right index finger.
Pierre-Paul underwent offseason surgery to restore the mangled hand's gripping ability. He does not expect to wear the club-like wrapping that limited his tackling last season.
"Common sense says the production we get out of JPP is going to be better than what he had last year," Spagnuolo said. "He's going to be more comfortable with what he's doing. I'm really excited about where it can go from here.
"I wasn't here for JPP's early years. But watching him from afar, we're hopeful that that's the kind of guy we're going to get now."
Spagnuolo, Rams coach from 2009-2011, said he still has the ambitions to run his own show. He admitted he was disappointed when he lost out to McAdoo for the job vacated by 12-year head coach Tom Coughlin, who resigned.
"It didn't happen, so there's disappointment," Spagnuolo said. "But I'm looking forward to moving forward. It's the game. It's the business. I'm not giving up on my dream about being head coach again, but I certainly am excited about moving forward."
He'll do it with a box full of early Christmas presents.

As new details continue to emerge from the investigation into the Obama administration's decision to spend billions of dollars on the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) Basic Health Program (BHP) without a congressional appropriation, the pressure from Congress on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) continues to mount.
The New York Times reported Tuesday that two-and-a-half years ago, IRS officials attended a meeting behind closed doors where questions surrounding the administration's authority to spend billions of dollars on Obamacare were squashed as the officials were assured that not only was the amount justifiable, but that the U.S. Attorney General was aware and in accordance with the decision.
During the meeting in the Old Executive Office Building, IRS officials were given a memo by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), justifying the $3.9 billion the administration planned to spend on health insurance subsidies. OMB officials reportedly left the room, giving the IRS officials time to look over the memo and then returned shortly to answer questions and inform the officials that Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. had been briefed and signed off on the legal aspect of the BHP, the paper stated.
The BHP is a state-based ACA program that allows states to provide health care coverage to low-income residents who would otherwise be eligible to purchase coverage through the exchanges.
Two House committees -- the Ways and Means and the Energy and Commerce Committees -- have been looking into BHP funding and demanding answers.
"Our investigation is revealing," Kevin Brady (R-TX), chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, recently told Patient Daily. "The more we learn, the more it's clear that high-level administration officials knowingly circumvented Congress and undermined the Constitution. We are going to continue to investigate this issue and highlight the unconstitutional overreach of this administration illegally spending billions of taxpayer dollars. We will keep working to get answers to these questions on behalf of the American people."
Over the past year, the committees have sought to get information regarding the source of funding for the BHP. Despite failing to get congressional approval for program funds to cover insurance companies' out-of-pocket expenses, the Obama administration went ahead and spent the money -- which has now cost taxpayers approximately $7 billion.
But according to the administration, the ACA gives it the authority to make such a decision without further appropriation, The New York Times reported.
"The committees have been seeking to understand the facts that led to the administration's decision to fund the Basic Health Program without a congressional appropriation," Energy and Commerce Committee members said in a press release on Tuesday. "Instead of seeking an appropriation, as required by the law, the administration has redirected taxpayer dollars. HHS has failed to comply with the committees' requests for information, including subpoenas issued on March 29, 2016."
The administration's response, or lack thereof, to the committees' request for information over time prompted the committees to write a letter to HHS on Monday.
"Since June 2015, the Committee on Energy and Commerce and the Committee on Ways and Means have sought information from your department about the implementation and source of funding for the Basic Health Program (BHP)," Brady and Fred Upton (R-MI), chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee, said in the letter. "Today, almost a year later, your department has failed to provide meaningful answers to our questions. Your refusal to provide the requested documents and information raises serious concerns about the department's willingness to be accountable for the lawful execution of laws passed by Congress."
Subcommittee chairmen initially sent letters to HHS and the Department of Treasury last June requesting documentation related to the implementation and funding of BHP. Although the departments' response a few weeks later stated that the program is fully funded under the ACA, the response failed to explain how the BHP is funded.
In September, a subsequent letter was sent to HHS, narrowing the scope of the initial request to include documents Assistant Secretary for Financial Resources Ellen Murray referenced during a July 28 briefing on the process HHS used to develop the BHP. However, HHS responded with only a few documents containing "heavily redacted information."
After another series of letters from the subcommittees and reluctant compliance by HHS, both committees issued subpoenas to HHS in March, requiring the department to produce BHP-related documents.
"Given the department's refusal to voluntarily produce the required materials over nine months, on March 29, 2016, our committees each served you a subpoena for documents related to the Basic Health Program," the chairmen said in the letter. "As a significant accommodation to the department, our subpoenas called for the department to produce the committees' narrowed request for documents, and not the full scope of documents responsive to our original request. These subpoenas created a legal obligation on the department to produce all responsive materials."
But in response, the committees contend, HHS produced just "one heavily redacted page."
"We remind you that the subpoenas legally require you, as secretary of the department, to either produce all responsive documents or provide a thorough explanation for all information withheld from the United States Congress," they said. "The pattern of conduct to this point suggests that the department intends to frustrate our legitimate efforts to conduct the Basic Health Program."
The chairmen proceeded to request that all documentation be provided immediately.

There are a number of ways to create a color palette for your Illustrator design projects, but if you're looking for a harmonious palette based on two colors, the Blend Tool takes the cake! With the Blend tool, you can create two identical shapes filled with two different colors, then blend them with a set number of steps to mix new colors based on the two originals. The result? A harmonious swatch family to complement your next project!
To create new colors with the Blend tool, select the Rectangle or Ellipse tool from the Tools panel. Click and drag on the artboard to create a simple shape. Copy and paste the shape so you have two of the same shape. Fill each shape with one of each of the colors that you want to base the palette. Choose Object > Blend > Blend Options to display the Blend Options dialog box. Select Specified Steps from the Spacing pop-up menu, and then enter a number in the Spacing text box indicating how many different colored shapes you want Illustrator to create. A low number from 3-5 is ideal. Click OK.
Next, select the two shapes, choose Object > Blend > Make, and Illustrator will create the designated number of shapes, each with a different color mixed from the original two you started with! To add the colors to your Swatch panel, select the Eyedropper tool, click one of the swatches to make it the foreground color, click the options menu in the Swatches panel and select New Swatch. Finally, click OK in the New Swatch dialog box to add it to the panel. Repeat for each color.
Increase the inset spacing to pad text set in Area Type objects (Illustrator CS6/CC/CC 2014/CC 2015/CC 2017)
One of the ways to make text set within an Area Type object more legible is to provide some padding between the text and the shape. Also known as inset spacing, this padding provides a margin of resting space for the viewer's eye. To add space between the text and the Area Type object, first select the Area Type object. Choose Type > Area Type Options to display the Area Type Options dialog box. Select the Preview check box, increase the Inset Spacing until the padding is sufficient for your needs, and click OK.
Placeholder text comes in handy when you're creating design mockups. You don't have to make up the content, and placeholder text uses variable length words and sentences to mimic our standard writing patterns. But inserting placeholder text always required an extra step, until now. New in Illustrator CC 2017, anytime you create a new type object, Illustrator will automatically fill it with placeholder text.
You do have to set the preference for this, as not everyone will enjoy this new feature. Choose Illustrator > Preferences > Type (Edit > Preferences > Type in Windows), select the Fill New Type Objects With Placeholder Text check box, and click OK. Now any time you add a new type object, Illustrator will automatically fill it with placeholder type!
Here are three easy keyboard shortcuts that will save you time when applying strokes and fills. First, if you want to quickly switch between fill and stroke and you don't want to bother with clicking them, simply press "x" to toggle between the two. Second, if you want to apply the last-used solid color or gradient to a selected object, press the comma key for the last-used color or the period key for the last-used gradient. Keep in mind that you can always see what these colors are by looking at the icons in the Toolbox. Finally, you can quickly change the fill or stroke color to None by pressing the forward slash key [/]. This changes whichever attribute is currently selected in the Toolbox, so if stroke is active and you want to change the fill to None, press "x" to toggle over before you press [/].

1. In countless published lists of the best places to live, a common characteristic is a vibrant walking and biking culture. Why do you think that is?
A community that enjoys a vibrant walking and biking culture is likely to have effectively engaged its citizens. The community has developed the ability to reach consensus regarding how to plan for its future. The community has been able to set goals and has successfully reached those goals. The community enjoys sufficient financial resources to enable it to reach its goals. I expect the community has carried these same abilities and assets to all areas of its life, including access to the arts and education, as well as determining its goals for redevelopment, sustainability and improving the environment. Since people are outside, the community probably has reasonable weather. The residents have ample opportunity to meet each other while walking and biking. The residents have pride in their community and I expect they believe they are empowered to influence its future.
2. Do you consider Newark a walkable, bikeable community? Why or why not? If yes, how do you plan to sustain this? If not, what can be done to make our city more walkable and bikeable?
I believe Newark continues to make good progress as a walkable, bikeable community but there is additional room for more improvement.
I believe most residents who walk are walking for pleasure or exercise. Most areas of Newark have continuous sidewalks, however some areas do not, and some sidewalks are not maintained in walkable condition. The City continues to make progress completing its ADA accessible curb cuts but this is a multi-year effort. Sidewalk connectivity to some of the older shopping centers can be improved. Pedestrian safety while crossing large parking lots can be improved.
Awareness of bicycling in Newark continues to increase thanks to the efforts of DelDOT (with Complete Streets), WILMAPCO, City of Newark, and all of the community bicycling advocacy groups. However, the bicycling community has identified issues of personal safety, lack of connectivity, and lack of adequate bicycle parking infrastructure. Newark enjoys the Pomeroy and Hall trails as well as quiet neighborhood streets.
As a member of City Council, I requested and Council approved repaving the trail connecting Timberline Drive to Downes Elementary school. I supported the bike track on Delaware Ave and rode my bike there on the day the concept was tested. I supported the Emerson bridge, once the fundraising returned the project closer to its original fully-funded status. I supported paving the Fremont Rd connector to the White Clay. I requested and Council approved evaluating enhancing the budget for the Downes Safe Routes to School project. Working together, City Staff and DelDOT have identified the additional safety features originally requested by the SRTS Committee. The current design concept will return to the SRTS committee for approval before coming to City Council for inclusion in the 2020-2024 Capital Improvement Plan.
Newark would need to amend the Comprehensive Development Plan V in order to firmly establish the goal of becoming a walkable, bikeable community.
3. What do you see as the opportunities for bicycling to make a positive impact in Newark? What do you see as the problems associated with bicycling in Newark?
I believe bicycling can make a positive impact on Newark as a community, but also to the individual residents of our community.
As a community, making more trips by bicycle rather than by automobile would reduce traffic congestion. Making fewer motorized vehicle trips would reduce air pollution, noise, and would eventually reduce the necessary size of public and private parking lots. Since parking spaces in Newark are empty more often than full, the extra space could be used more efficiently for a full time community purpose. The community could spend less money to build and maintain infrastructure focused primarily on the private automobile.
As an individual, making more trips by bicycle would provide more exercise in the short term and probably better health in the long term. There is more opportunity to interact with one's surroundings when bicycling than in an automobile. It is far cheaper to operate and maintain a bicycle, and bicycle parking is most often free.
4. What are your ideas (if any) for how to improve the bicycling experience in Newark for occasional cyclists, bicycle commuters, recreational cyclists, and avid (very experienced) cyclists? (Please be as specific as you can for each group mentioned.)
All cyclists would benefit from safety improvements and continuing driver education, for both the motorized vehicle operators and the cyclists.
Avid bicyclists would benefit from routine and thorough street sweeping.
Bicycle commuters, occasional cyclists and recreational cyclists would benefit from improving route connectivity and, at a minimum, buffering the bike lane from motorized vehicle traffic.
In addition, occasional and recreational cyclists would benefit from way-finding signage.
5. If elected, what criteria will you apply in order to decide whether to support a major road project (like the Main St. rehabilitation or the Cleveland Ave. improvements)? What about for small road projects (e.g., addition of bike lanes, low-stress bike-route signage, or crosswalks)?
As a member of City Council, I would support all improvements to pedestrian and bicycling safety on small roads because these typically involve committing reasonably small amounts of the City's financial resources.
As a member of City Council, I would support all improvements to pedestrian and bicycling safety on major roads because these typically are state roads using DELDOT funds.
I commit to remaining accessible to the pedestrian and bicycling advocacy groups and to keeping an open mind about all ideas to improve our community.
6. Are you familiar with the Newark Bicycle Plan? If so, what do you think are its most important recommendations?
The Newark Bicycle Plan does a good job providing an overview of the current bicycling climate in Newark. It outlines the different experience levels within the bicycling community and the different reasons people choose to bicycle.
I believe the most important recommendation is to improve bicycling safety followed by improving route connectivity. Improving personal safety and route connectivity makes bicycling become a possible form of transportation or recreation for the less experienced cyclist. Looking further ahead, improving safety and route connectivity provides the opportunity for a beginning cyclist to develop a life-long enjoyment of the bicycle.
7. Briefly describe your experience as a bicyclist (if any) over your lifetime and specifically in Newark.
I learned to ride a bicycle as a very young child on a quiet country road in front of my grandmother's house. My older sister sat on the back of the "banana" seat, providing balance, but made me do the work, pedaling her wherever she wanted to go.
Early in my fourth grade my parents moved across town. Rather than change schools, I commuted several miles each day on my bike to my old school. I continued commuting to school on my bike through junior and senior high school. I learned to maintain and repair every part of my bike.
As a young teenager, I used a durable bike to deliver a daily paper route. When I bought a lightweight racing bike, I learned to treat its delicate nuts and bolts very gently.
In college, I would often ride various 25 mile loops through the surrounding countryside, possibly to the detriment of my studies.
One summer, I took a class at Harvard, commuting the 10+ miles from Needham to Cambridge on city streets during rush hour traffic.
As a young parent, I lived in Canberra, a planned city having a paved multiuse path located in the parks system, extending throughout the region in all directions. Often, I would put my sons in the trailer and take them for long rides in the parks.
Returning to Boston, I rode the Pan Mass Challenge twice. This is a fully organized 200 mile weekend fundraiser benefitting the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. It's really hilly from Sturbridge to the coast and really windy from there to Provincetown.
Now, I ride casually for entertainment and exercise, usually on the Hall and Pomeroy trails, in the White Clay park, or one of several loops into the Maryland countryside. I consider myself an experienced cyclist, comfortable riding in slow traffic, although I am very careful. I consider it my responsibility to ride in a manner to enhance the reputation of all cyclists.

- Erratum: This card's ability should read: " Spend 1 ammo: Fight…" - FAQ, v.1.7, March 2020
Item. Weapon. Firearm.
Uses (5 ammo).
: Fight. You get +2 for this attack. If a +1, 0, or chaos token is revealed during this attack, this attack deals +2 damage.
So, this card has an error on it. As written, the fight action does not cost ammo. However, Matt has already confirmed in the Mythos Busters discord server that this ability should function like every other firearm, so , spend 1 ammo: Fight.
Let's do the maths again.
In all my calculations, I make the following hypothesis :
- Chaos bag of Night of the zealot, on standard difficulty
- gives -1
- gives -2
- gives -3
- gives +2
Comparison with .45 Thomson
On Standard difficulty level, if you aim at +2 (you organize your play so your skill value is 2 above the difficulty), the average damage done by the Winchester is 1.25, against 1.5 for the Thomson. If you aim at +4, it's 1.44 versus 1.88. So Winchester makes roughly -20% damage par attempt for a -33% resource cost. Not that bad
(on Easy difficulty level, Thomson makes roughly the same damage. Still for a -33% cost.)
Comparison with .45 Automatic
The comparison with .45 Automatic has to be different because .45 Automatic has a fewer bonus. Let's make raw comparisons, with no strategy in mind.
On standard difficulty level, if the difficulty of the test if 2 above the base skill value of the investigator, Winchester delivers 0.75 damage per attempt on average, while .45 Automatic delivers 0.25. That's +200% for Winchester.
Ok, difficult tests like this one are uncommon. But Winchester is still +113% when the difficulty is 1 above, +11% when equal, -8% when 1 lower and -18% when 2 lower.
(on easy difficulty level, the numbers becomes : +200%, +92%, +18%, -4% and -10%)
Thomson takes two hands but has 1 ammo more.
The first question is : can you afford two hands to fight ? If the answer is yes, Winchester is interesting versus Thomson if you struggle for resources. It is also interesting versus Automatic if you are a good fighter and have a team mate who can take care of the critters, or if you are a mediocre fighter who wants to shine on the battleflied from time to time (Skid ? Jim ? Diana ?)
If the answer is no. Well, you can't take Winchester.
Well, in my opinion, this card has not only one error. When comparing this one to other level 0 -cards, i have absolutely no plan at all, why on earth I should take this card in my deck. This card is just like a Song of the Dead, now that it just does not cost XP and requires 2 hands, but other than Song of the Dead, this card relies on , 0 and +1 Chaos Tokens where you will not have +1 tokens in most chaos bags at higher difficulty. Now, compared to a .45 Automatic, it has the same cost, additional ammo worth one more shot but than it requires 2 hands and it also does not do reliably more than 1 point of damage. Let's assume, you are playing TCU on standard, you will be starting out with 15 tokens (during the champaign, this might increase quite a bit) 4 of which trigger the +2 damage - chance is roughly 25% to trigger that. Chance of getting 2 damage on a .45 Automatic is 100% if you hit. Looking at the .45 Thompson, this card also requires 2 hands and hast the same amount of ammo, just it always hits for 2 damage, it costs 2 more resources though. Having said all of that, why on earth would I include this weapon over another level 0 -weapon that is already released. If you do not have any ability to trigger 0s or s on command, than you will draw your 0 when your opponent is at just 1 health remaining (at least Murphy would suggest that) - so anyway, this card is really bad.

All cabinet members were included in the resignation, including Egypt's defence minister Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi. So is this a move, then, to allow the army chief to enter civilian life in order to run as a candidate in upcoming presidential elections?
Or is El-Bablawi's resignation a response to growing public dismay over the interim government's recent performance?
Beyond these questions, however, are more pressing issues.
What's the significance in the timing of El-Beblawi's announcement?
If El-Sisi wants to run for president, then he must resign from his post as defence minister – according to Egyptian law, members of the armed forces and police can't run for public office.
In this light, Monday's resignation could be seen as a way for him to leave his military post as part of a group exodus.
But what comes after that? Most likely interim President Adly Mansour will soon issue an amended version of a law which will govern the upcoming presidential polls, thereby opening up the electoral process.
El-Sisi is expected to announce his candidacy at this point. So the scenario could go like this: El-Beblawi's resignation, then Mansour passing the elections law, followed by El-Sisi's candidacy.
Another timing-related issue has to do with recent concerns that El-Sisi's huge popularity, which he has gained since announcing the end of ousted president Mohamed Morsi's troubled one-year rule, has recently declined.
Shortly after Morsi's overthrow, El-Sisi fell out of favour with many og Egypt's revolutionary youth, who widely abstained from voting in January's constitutional referendum.
Sources that Ahram Online spoke with said that El-Beblawi's resignation concerns these disaffected "youth figures" who have recently met with Mansour's advisors and expressed concern over the government's transitional road map, particularly the round-up and detention of secular demonstrators.
New premier
Who's going to be prime minister after El-Beblawi? The answers are diverse.
Most of the sources Ahram Online spoke with suggest current housing minister Ibrahim Mehlab as a prominent candidate. Mehlab has previously announced his support for El-Sisi's presidential hopes, going so far as to start a pro-Sisi movement called Kamil Gamilak to push for the army chief's candidacy.
Several key figures from the banking and finance sector have also been cited, like banker Adel El-Labban, as well as members of the bureaucratic old guard such as longtime economist Kamal El-Ganzouri, who in addition to serving as interim prime minister once before in 2011 has also been on an informal advisory board to both Mansour and El-Sisi.
The least-talked about figure for prime minister is Amr Moussa, formerly Egypt's foreign minister and secretary-general of the Arab League. Though Moussa ran as a candidate in the 2012 elections and finished poorly, his popularity increased considerably after he chaired the 50-member committee tasked with amending Egypt's constitution last year.
An independent political source told Ahram Online that El-Sisi is "keen" to have Moussa sworn in as prime minster now, before he himself is potentially inaugurated as president.
Doing so would give El-Sisi a few advantages, the source says. For one, Moussa is popular now and his nomination would be well-received. Also, El-Sisi would already have a prime minister in place by the time he became president. If he didn't, he'd have to wait until a new parliament was formed after elections and then submit his nomination for approval.
Other cabinet changes
Beyond the prime minister's slot, though, who will fill all the other empty posts?
Ziyad Baheddine is leaving and thus his two positions, deputy prime minister and minister for international cooperation, will need to be filled. Baheddine was widely attacked last year when he pushed for negotiations with the ousted Muslim Brotherhood and its Islamist allies.
If Mehlab is picked as prime minister, his former post of housing minister will be vacant.
Then there's Hossam Eissa, who shared the roles of deputy prime minister with Baheddine and was also the higher education minister.
His performance as education minister wasn't well received by students and professors alike, with student groups calling for his dismissal in response to a security crackdown on university campuses that left several pro-Morsi students dead in clashes with police.
Other outgoing ministers include health minister Maha El-Rabat, who also faced criticism for an ongoing doctors' strike as well as an outbreak of swine flu across the country, and public transport minister Ibrahim Dmeeri, who has been in the spotlight most recently for a public transport workers' strike which entered its third day on Monday to demand the implementation of a minimum wage.
The fate of interior minister Mohamed Ibrahim is also being speculated.
Sources have suggested that Ibrahim, who was assigned to his post under Morsi, had offered his resignation to El-Beblawi prior to Monday's announcement in protest against alleged meddling with the interior ministry's chain of command, namely orders being issued to his senior generals from outside of the ministry.
Perhaps most importantly, though, is the suggestion that Ibrahim had wanted to resign because he knew that "it would be him and not anyone else" who would one day be held accountable for the slew of recent human rights violations, said a source.
But Ibrahim's resignation might not be final, according to one governmental source, who said that it seemed too difficult to change the interior minister at such a crucial moment in Egypt, just before presidential and parliamentary elections and amidst a security crisis which has seen a sharp rise in bombings by militant groups on army and police personnel and institutions across the country.
Still, the source admitted that Ibrahim's removal would "clearly" help El-Sisi's image, considering the recent dismay expressed from many quarters, including El-Sisi's advisors, about the interior ministry's apparent return to its old pre-2011 tactics – a crackdown on all forms of dissent as well as alleged accounts of torture and brutality in Egypt's prisons.
The decision to remove El-Beblawi would also be keeping in line with the strategy of isolating El-Sisi from the interim government's purported failures, the source said.
Regardless, no clear date has been offered as to when the next cabinet will be formed.
As the countdown for El-Sisi's nomination as a presidential candidate continues, the only thing that seems clear is that the next cabinet will have to improve upon the mistakes of the old one.

Salisbury steak was a popular dish in the 1950s and 1960s and is credited as the forerunner of the hamburger. The entree was created by Dr. James Henry Salisbury and dates back in print to 1895. Dr. Salisbury considered ground beef, specifically lean muscle fibers, to be a cure for Civil War soldiers who suffered from "camp diarrhea" and touted its health benefits for all Americans. The original Salisbury steak consisted of ground beef, minced onions, salt, and pepper which was then simply broiled and served. The recipe evolved from that point and is now usually served with a gravy. My version includes a mushroom gravy, just like Granny-Ma used to make. Served with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles, it is a perfect comfort food sure to evoke lasting memories.
Salisbury Steak in Mushroom Gravy Recipe
1 pound white mushrooms, divided use (see Notes)
2 pounds 80/20 chuck ground beef (see Notes)
1/2 cup unseasoned bread crumbs or panko
1/4 cup milk or cream
1 package dry onion soup mix (or beefy onion)
2 Tablespoons chopped parsley
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
3 Tablespoons butter
1 clove garlic, pressed
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups strong beef broth
1/2 teaspoon browning sauce (such as Gravy Master or Bovril), optional
1/4 cup heavy cream
Additional chopped parsley for garnish
Brush the mushrooms clean and trim the very end of the stem. Remove all of the stems and fine-chop them. Set aside to use with the meat mixture. Cut the mushroom caps into quarters.

Combine ground chuck beef, bread crumbs, chopped mushroom stems, milk or cream, dry onion soup mix, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper with a large fork. Form into 6 patties, each 1-1/2 inches thick.
Heat a large, deep, hard-anodized skillet (12-inch by 3-inch) or Dutch oven over medium heat until hot. Spray with olive oil. Sear beef patties until golden on each side. (Don't worry about cooking them through. More cooking is to come.) Remove patties to a platter. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of grease.
To the same skillet, add butter and mushrooms. Saute until mushrooms have released their liquid and are golden. Add pressed garlic and saute an additional 30 seconds. Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Continue to stir while slowly adding the beef broth until broth is heated and thickened. Stir in heavy cream and browning sauce, if using. Taste for seasoning, adding salt and pepper, if needed.
Return the beef patties to the pan, along with any accumulated juices, and turn to cover with the gravy. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, turning patties once during the simmering.

Serve Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes, rice, or hot buttered noodles. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish, if desired.
Yield: 6 servings
• I prefer ground chuck for this recipe because of its rich, beefy flavor. To be more authentic, use lean ground beef.
• Instead of the dry onion soup mix, you may substitute 1/2 cup finely-chopped onions. If you skip the soup mix, you may need more salt.
• I normally use plain white mushrooms, because my Grandmother did. However, if you want to upgrade, feel free to use your favorite variety of wild or common mushrooms. The beefy flavor of portobello mushrooms is an especially good complement to the beef gravy.
