Race Report-World Championships 70.3
I was very anxious as I prepared myself for the trip earlier in the week. My stomach started to wiggle, and gurgle and hurt! I was anxious to leave the kids. I was anxious about the entire event.
I sacrificed a lot at home for this race. School is in session for the boys. That makes life busier. My mind was distraced with this event much of time. Our home is under construction. Instead of keeping things under control and peaceful at home, I chose to train for 5-6 hours at a time. There was stress. There were tears. But in the end, there was success and satisfaction. And I do believe, I also have children who are proud of their Mommy. That means a lot too.
I put so much work into this race and then SO much money to travel there. My family was helping with the kids, my husband took time off from work. I just felt the need to make it "worthwhile." That said, a strange calm came over me on Friday. I just knew I was ready. It was finally time to actually race and do what I knew how to do.
Sat a.m. Mary and I headed out of the hotel to the transition area to get body marked and check our bike tires etc. We were allowed to check the bikes but not take them out and we coudlnt' go to our bags. We had until 6:30 and then transition was closed. It was dark outside but there were HUGE spotlights all over. There were TV cameras. There was awesome music blasting. And the fittest looking athletes you've ever seen. No one looked soft. No one looked like a first timer. All the bikes were rockin' fast. It was a bit intimidating. Remember I'm from Maine. We do have big races that sometimes pull in 500-600 people, but the scene is much different.
We got marked with stamped #s rather than markers. I was enjoying the special treatment. There was a guy running around transition helping everyone pump their tires. There were volunteers all over the place.
After a few trips to the bathrooms (and we are proud to say we avoided porta potties the whole a.m!) we headed to the beach.
We were finally in our corral with 75 other fast and f it looking women. I had no idea how I would hold up against these women but figured I just had to go for it. I positioned myself in the front and on the right so I could hug the buoys. The course went straight out, a short turn right to antoher buoy and then straight back to shore.
Finally….a Gunshot. And it really smelled and sounded and in some ways Felt like I got shot. It was right next to me and I smelled that smoke immensely. It was a running start but the water was quite shallow for a ways out. I scooted down and dove over the water 6-7 times before I could begin swimming. I saw 1 girl head out like a shot. She was gone. Ok ,no problem. Another one was next to me but a few strokes ahead. I could tell she was strong and would probably move ahead. I settled into 3rd and tried to find my groove. I had really hoped to warm up but the format of the morning didn't allow for it. I was off for a bit but felt ok. After a little while, I had a strange sensation around me and realized I had a draft pack behind me! In what felt like slow motion, 3 or 4 other women surrounded me. Darn. I thought I was safely in 3rd. Guess not. This is Worlds after all and I had to work for it! We hit some big swells as we approached the turn buoy. We made the turn and headed back with the sun directly in our eyes. There were now 4 of us in a straight line across. I sighted off their arms the rest of the way. We were all stroke for stroke. Sometimes I was two or three strokes ahead of them and sometimes they were ahead of me. We caught some of the swimmers who had left ahead of us and dealt with some kicking and thrashing all around.
The swim is my favorite leg but there is a serious thrill for me as I sight and see the crowd on the beach and the huge arch paving the way for us. I get so excited. At the same time, I knew 56 miles of nervous biking were headied my way. I was tired too. I had swallowed a lot of water. I was feeling it already. I was having my first "low" and started to doubt myself and what I could do for the next 69.1 miles. Here's where the mind games began. I took another look at the crowd and regained my excitement and focus. I wish I had pushed myself to stand up a tad bit faster because all of us came out of the water together but I somehow clicked that mat behind most of them. Darn. It didn't matter in the big picture of the race though and that's what was on my mind. I just had to get my bearings as I stood up.
The crowd was huge at swim exit. I heard Mark, Andy, and Marni yelling to me. I was struggling with my wetsuit and unable to give them a big smile but I was thinking, "Hey I hear you! Thanks guys!! Here I go!"
We ran up a long beach and hit the showers. Those things are great. The water was warm and super powerful. It felt so refreshing. And the wetsuit strippers! YES! Finally some strippers who meant it!!! I have used them a few other times and practically had to help the kids (yes I had some 12 year olds once) rip it off. I had 2 girls this time who Yanked that baby so hard. I was psyched and thanked them.
I ran to the rack where my gear bags were. Blue bike blue bike blue bike. I had to keep saying that to myself. I was afraid I'd forget which was which!
There were volunteers Everywehre in the changing tent. They were Amazing. This girl kept offering to dump my bag but I had a system instead. She handed me my glasses and I just went about my thing with my shoes etc. She took over from there. She repacked my bag for me and sent me to my bike. Fun stuff. I loved this. I ran to the bike, prayed for no flats or crashes, and off I went.
This bike course was NUTS!!! At first, I was breathing so hard and my glutes killed. I was a bit worried. After a bit I settled in and felt better. These roads are crazy. It was really flat (although there were actually a few small hills over bridges etc) and very fast. Somehow I managed to be alone on the roads most of the day. But let me tell you, these draft packs are insane!!! I think about 5 packs went by me during the race. I have no idea how many people were in them but let's say 40. At least. It was scary. I'm sure they were going 30 mph and they were just cheating their asses off. Not only was it super dangerous the way they just took over the whole lane but it's flat out illegal. And they didn't care. Oh well. What can you do? There were a few women mixed in there too. That's how some of them got such fast splits.
The miles just flew by on the bike. I was having fun. Each 10 miles that hit were 10 less miles for me to flat on! I was super worried about something technical ruining my day. But, I made it. I got all my nutrition in while I was out there. I took time to slow down for gels, for my bottles, to stretch my legs after not climbing for an hour…I think it paid off.
So I climbed over the bridge to the finish area and the energy was amazing. The music was blasting. The crowds were huge. I love that stuff. When I climbed off the bike, I was swarmed by volunteers again ready to take my bike. I didn't have to rack it myself! I loved this. I ran over to the gear bags and should have started my red run red run chant but I forgot and grabbed the blue bag! Oh no. But lucky for me the volunteers were there again to tell me and have me drop the blue back and grab the red and all was good.
I had a decent transition except my race # had ripped off my race belt Before the bike so I had to spend time reattaching that. Besides that, I was fine. My stomach killed heading into the tent and I thought I might be doomed but when I ran out, I was fine.
I headed off and made a plan. My quads were Not on fire like my last 70.3 so I wanted to play it smart. I decided to take it "easy" for the first 6 and then to let it go. I would build into this run. I dind't want to blow up. I wanted to enjoy the day all the way through.
Mile 1 felt smooth and easy. 6:40. Ooops. Ok, so maybe I'm off the pace a bit. I thought it felt easy! Try again. That was too fast. Next mile had a hill (the bridge..big hill actually ) and I was over 7:00. Ok, that's better but let's see what I am without the hill. I felt ok. I started running between 7:10-7:26. I was ok with this. But I started having to deal with mental issues along the way. I was just so tired. I wanted to lay down. Really. Just be done. Enough. I had had enough. I wasn't really miserable, just done. You know that feeling?
So I had to talk myself out of that. Losing focus? Time for a gel. This is something I've learned. I took a salt, a gel, lots of sponges down my shirt, water on my head, I drank Gatorade constantly. It was getting hot. The roads there are white b/c they're concrete and so it's super bright.
We ran over the big bridge, down the road, off into a neighborhood and then back over the bridge, all the way to the finish line and psych…not done yet….go around again! So like I said, I had a plan. I was just going to get to that turn and then play the game. I was doing ok. Around mile 5 we went through another Ironman arch and they had a message board. I had one! A. Bancroft U are a Winner. I had a moment of feeling important out there in the sea of hard core triathletes so my stride grew longer and I pushed on. It was surprisingly "fun" to go through the finish chute even though I had another loop. The music was still blaring and the screaming crowd is good for a tired soul.
I saw Mark, Andy and Marni as I came in for the turn and back around again. They were awesome!! they screamed and took pictures and yelled great reminders about water and pace. I hope you all know how very much that helps. Your support means everything out there. I could Not do it without you.
My legs felt loose and I decided to try to pick it up. Well, ok, I thought I did but my splits just wouldn't get faster. But they were dropping too much either so I was ok. I kept them all under 7:30 so that was good for me. New plan. Get to the neighborhood and then when I was back on the bridge with 2-3 miles to go, then I would start to go hard. But my mind kept going places. It kept going to LP'09. How am I going to do that run?? I had to get away from that because it was bringing me down.
I forced myself to stay in the moment. To look around and look at all the people with me. I focused on the runners I went by and the fact that I was hanging on and doing my job that day. I ran by Sister Madonna Buder and told her she Rocked and gave her a thumbs up. THE BRIDGE!! I was almost there. I started to smile. I smiled and smiled and then geez, I got a cramp. Darn. Ok, no big deal. Remember those hard hard hard miles I ran through and pushed myself to exhaustion during training. Why was this different? It's such a head game I think. I am learning how to get out of these ruts when out there… I think that's a huge part of these endurance races.
One mile left. I wasn't pulling out faster splits but my effort was huge and I was hanging on. I was happier than I can explain. The emotion of getting to this race, of hanging on for months and months of hard training when it was the "off season" for others close to me, of fighting pain and fatigue to push on was overwhelming me. I saw my watch as I came into the long finishers chute and was ecstatic. I did it. I started pumping my arms and jumping around. I was one of those crazy finishers jumping all over the place. I loved it!!!
After I crossed the line this huge wave of relief and satisfaction came over me. I just kneeled down on the ground and smiled so big inside. Of course, I was swarmed again with help, "are you ok? Are you ok?"
I'm GREAT!!! I was so great.
I waited for Mary at the finish and we had the biggest happiest hug ever.
It wasn't quite over. Mark and Andy found us at the end and Mark told me I was 5th in my age group. Cool!!! A neighbor called my father in-law who called Mark to tell us. Funny. There I was At the race and my supporters back in Maine had to let us know this.
What did this mean? I was heading to the podium! Top 5 get awards!
We went to the awards that night. Thousands of chairs lined up on the beach in front of a HUGE stage with video screens on either side. After awarding the pros their prizes, it was time for the age group winners. They called each of the top 5 in the age group up to the stage. We were awarded M-dot trophies. Our names and and times were on one video screen and we were on the other. We held our trophies over our heads while cameras snapped away. My 6 minutes of fame. I did feel like a rock star for a minute. I mean, little me from Paris, Maine. Pretty fun.

Jesus said that loving God with all that we are is the greatest commandment (Matthew 22:37-38). For this reason it is our first priority at Calvary.
Every Sunday morning we gather together to love God passionately through our worship. Lives are changed when we Love the LORD with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our strength.
This fulfills our first core value.

My Doula services include an initial interview, for us to have a chance to get to know one another and make sure we are a good fit! We will then set up a minimum of 2 prenatal visits. At the first appointment we will discuss your birth plan, as well as any wishes or concerns you may have. Your second prenatal visit we will discuss different comfort measures, labor positions and finalize anything else we need to for your special day! It is very important to me that we build a strong rapport before your delivery. Depending on what trimester you're in I prefer to meet with you and your partner every 4-6 weeks.
I offer telephone support throughout your pregnancy and will be on call 24/7 for two weeks prior to your due date and two weeks following the arrival of your baby. When your special day arrives, I will provide continuous support during labor, delivery and postpartum until your family is comfortably settled. After your special day, I will meet with you once again to answer any questions you may have, and to process your birth experience.
What a Birth Doula does not do:
1. Perform Clinical tasks, such as blood pressure, fetal heart checks, vaginal exams, etc. I am there to provide only physical comfort and emotional support.
2. Make decisions for you. I will help you get the information necessary to make an informed decision.
3. Speak to the staff on your behalf. I will discuss your concerns with you and suggest options, but you or your partner will speak directly to the clinical staff.

Columbus is giving people such as Julie Hallan additional ammunition to fight litter.
Columbus is giving people such as Julie Hallan additional ammunition to fight litter.
Keep Columbus Beautiful is launching Three Words About Litter: PICK IT UP!, the first communitywide litter campaign, on Sept. 7.
Hallan already is on board. The volunteer coordinator for Friends of Goodale Park has one cleanup event each at the park and Dennison Place and two in Italian Village.
As the year moves forward and more people visit the Short North, trash becomes more noticeable, Hallan said.
"I think we should have a litter event every year at this time of year," she said. "Goodale Park is pretty bad right now,"
Sherri Palmer, program manager for Keep Columbus Beautiful, said the effort is designed to get everyone involved, from school children to people in the business community.
"Litter is the first signal that a neighborhood may be declining, and that leads to crime," Palmer said.
"Unfortunately people just walk by it. But we'd like them to recognize that if people just pick up a piece of litter, it would make for a cleaner city."
She said everyone from individuals to large groups can hit streets Sept. 7 and join the effort, which also will include outreach to schools and businesses.
"Make it simple on yourselves," she said. "Get some friends together, get some trash bags, put on some gloves and go out and pick up litter."
Trash bags can be thrown away at clearly marked city-owned trash bins, in 300-gallon trash cans in many alleys and in home trash containers.
The city and volunteers have made litter control a priority, Palmer said.
In 2012, Keep Columbus Beautiful recorded 438 cleanups, involving 8,995 volunteers, equaling 28,393 volunteer hours. The group is known for its annual Kick Butt Columbus campaign every spring, in which volunteers remove cigarette butts from public spaces.
Keep Columbus Beautiful has limited supplies for larger groups looking to join the latest effort. Those who need materials are asked to call 614-645-2421.

Ambassador, Proven Republican Leader, Visionary, and "West Point Mom" — Ann Wagner is running for RNC Chair.
Ann Wagner stands with the troops – and keeps a Glock pistol at home in her gun cabinet.
More good news for Ann Wagner…
According to the National Journal – Ann Wagner stands alone and is the only candidate acceptable to all in the RNC Chair race.
The National Journal reported:
Advertisement - story continues below
Ann Wagner stands alone as the one candidate who possesses the complete package of skills needed to make a clean start and chart a new course for the Republican National Committee. Her pathway to victory is predicated on two fundamental realities in this election: 1) Ann Wagner is an acceptable choice for chairman by all or nearly all of the RNC members; and 2) Ann Wagner is, arguably, the very best candidate in the field.
As we enter the first ballot, Michael Steele should lead, followed by Reince Priebus. Wagner's support will be in the mix with Saul Anuzis and Maria Cino, trailing Steele and Priebus. An incumbent chairman who cannot win on the first ballot will see his support decline on subsequent ballots. It will be clear after the first ballot that Michael Steele will not be reelected. This frees up his supporters, many of whom are courtesy votes on the first ballot, to go elsewhere. It also undermines that rationale for Priebus as a consensus candidate, needed to defeat Steele.
As support begins to shift from candidates who cannot put together 85 votes, we believe a vast majority of them will end up with Ann, setting up a 4th or 5th ballot contest between Wagner and Reince Priebus. At that point, we believe that Ann will be judged as the better choice by a clear majority of the committee.
Ann has travelled the country extensively over the past several weeks and has personally met with a majority of the members. In addition, she has spoken with nearly every member personally on the phone. We also have a strong coalition of publicly-supporting members who have already selected Ann as their first choice. These members have done a thorough job of following up on Ann's personal contacts and we are confident that Ann is universally considered a top-tier candidate by every member of the committee.
There's more.

THAT'S A WRAP: A four-day surge on Wall Street came to an end on Friday as falling commodity prices brought down energy and mining stocks.
LACKS LUSTER: Gold plunged $64 to $1,501 an ounce, reaching its lowest level since July 2011. That tugged down mining companies. Barrick Gold lost 8 percent to $22.62, Newmont Mining fell 6 percent to $36.37 and Freeport-McMoRan 3 percent to $31.92.
FINAL SCORE: The Dow Jones industrial average dropped just 0.08 of a point to close at 14,865.05. The Standard & Poor's 500 lost 4.52 points, or 0.3 percent, to 1,588.85.

The University of La Verne honored 42 alumni and faculty pacifist and conscientious objectors for their public service during World Wars I and II with a plaque dedication last week in the Chapel.
Among those present for the ceremony were faculty, students, President Devorah Lieberman and many family members of the men to whom the plaque is dedicated.
An alumni civilian public service panel kicked off the event as four of the 42 honorees shared their stories of service during the wars.
"I'm inspired by this statement and by the people listed on this plaque," University Chaplain Zandra Wagoner said.
Men who were serving as pacifists or conscientious objectors, such as those on the panel and on the plaque, objected to serving in the armed forces for reasons of conscience or believed that war and violence were unjustifiable.
These beliefs were widely held by members of various peace churches of the time; though many of the men honored who attended La Verne College were members of the Church of the Brethren.
"It's a matter of conscience," said Clair Hanawalt, one of the men serving on the discussion panel.
"Your final judge is what you decide is right for you."
All four men speaking on the panel served in World War II between 1943-1946.
They also participated in a variety of Civil Service occupations deemed of national importance.
In place of serving in the armed forces, men performed jobs including firefighting, forestry, soil conservation and more.
Civic Public Service men worked without wages; responsibility for supporting them and maintaining CPS camps fell on the men's congregations and families.
Many men serving as conscience objectors or pacifists faced ridicule from family, friends and colleagues. Many of these men spoke about being deemed cowards for their beliefs.
No such position as that of CPS existed in World War I, so those who declared themselves conscientious objectors were imprisoned.
The only name on the presented plaque for service in World War I was Jesse Brandt, who was imprisoned for his view on war.
Jesse Brandt, who Brandt Hall is named after, was a La Verne College faculty member for 36 years.
After the men's panel finished their stories, attendees were ushered out to the chapel lawn for the dedication of the plaque.
Wagoner and Lieberman spoke to conclude the ceremony.
"That was such a beautiful hour," Lieberman said.
"I think about those decisions and some of those decisions were hard and they were the right decisions for them. Those are the demonstrations of leadership that truly reflect who we are as a university," she said.
The evening went on as attendees mingled with one another.
"To be honest, I hadn't previously known there was an alternative to fighting in war, and hearing from the four men speak about their personal experiences and why they chose the paths they did, gave me the insight as to why it's so important to commemorate their efforts," sophomore business major Nicole Miller said.
The plaque, now the seventh of six dedication plaques to World War service around campus, is placed inside of the Interfaith Chapel.

AUSTIN - Need a court document? Come Sept. 1 it may cost you more than what you are paying now.
In addition, if you are a state employee or a retiree who smokes, your health insurance premium could be hit with a $30 monthly surcharge.
And if you pay child support, the state is likely to hit you with an additional $3 monthly processing fee.
Today, as members of the 82nd Legislature give final approval to the state budget for the next fiscal biennium which starts on Sept. 1, one way the lawmakers will be looking into offsetting a revenue shortfall in the range of $15 billion to $27 billion, is to raise fees for a good number of services or for issuing documents.
Yes, the majority of the lawmakers in the Republican-controlled Texas Legislature promised they would balance the state budget without raising taxes, said state budget expert Don Baylor.
However, the lawmakers never said anything about raising fees for government services, programs and documents, said Baylor, senior policy analyst at the Center for Public Policy Priorities, an Austin-based think-tank which advocates for needy Texans.
"The Legislature is not going to balance the state with cuts alone," Baylor said in reference to the $172.3 billion two year budget plan the House and the Senate are expected to vote on today. "They need to find new sources of revenue and one is raising fees."
The budget plan coming up for a vote today would cut $15.2 billion, or 8.1 percent, from current spending levels at a time when the state population is rapidly growing - more than 20 percent in the last decade alone.
The budget cuts are so deep that critics says it is the leanest budget since at least the mid-1980s when the state economy busted because of a plunge in oil and gas prices.
The possibility of raising fees has been discussed since the start of the session when the Legislative Budget Board, which advises the Legislature on fiscal issues, released a report titled "government effectiveness and efficiency."
This possibility prompted Rep. Richard Raymond, D-Laredo, to file a bill calling for the Legislature to call fees, surcharges and other revenue-generating measures as taxes.
"It is time we make it harder for politicians to hide the truth from the people and the truth is, if you raise fees, you raise taxes," Raymund said before filing his House Joint Resolution 145.
"We need to make sure all taxes are out in the open, so Texans know when their taxes are being raised," Raymund said.
However, HJR 145 didn't make it to the House floor because it was left pending in the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee.
Raymund could not be reached for comment on Friday but Rep. Roberto Alonzo, D-Dallas, who had already started taking an in-depth look at the final budget proposal to be considered today, said there are clearly some fee increases all Texans will have to pay after Sept. 1 when the new state fiscal year kicks in.
The state budget bill is the only piece of legislation state lawmakers are required to pass when they are in session for 140 days every other year.
"There are court fees, there are document fees, there are all kinds of fees," Alonzo said. "Fee increases are allowed when you are dealing with the budget. This happens every two years when the Legislature approves a state budget bill."
Alonzo and other lawmakers were glad that budget negotiators scratched a plan to do away with the tax-free weekend every August when millions of Texas families take advantage of the occasion to buy clothes and school supplies for their children.
Sen. Robert Duncan, R-Lubbock, who sits on the 10-member Budget Conference Committee, which negotiated the differences between the House and Senate proposals, said every effort was made not to raise fees in the state budget for the next two fiscal years.
"The principle has been not to raise fees," said Duncan who is also a member of the Senate Finance Committee.
In addition, Duncan chaired the Senate Fiscal Matters Subcommittee, a seven-member panel whose mission was to identify up to $5 billion of non-tax revenue to help the Legislature balance the budget.

Customer Engagement
Interactive personalised media & the future of customer engagement
By Liz Roche, Director, Product Marketing Customer Engagement Solutions, Pitney Bowes
What will customer engagement in 2016 look like?
Often, when we think of the clear-cut ways that businesses can improve their standing with customers – both in attracting new ones and engaging with pre-existing ones – our minds gravitate toward tried-and-true channels, like mobile compatibility, email newsletters and social media promotions. And that's all well and good, of course; in fact, they're virtually required for any business to remain relevant and alive in the minds of 21st century consumers.
But that's just it -- they're requirements, and the bare minimum of what's expected. If your business isn't on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram yet, or you still haven't optimized your website for mobile reading, then you're already a couple steps behind the times. So when we think about customer engagement in 2016, what we're really asking is, what's the next cutting-edge solution for reaching your customers? Where is the next innovation in customer engagement coming from?
The answer? Interactive personalized video.
Interactive vs. Passive Video
It can be tempting to look at "interactive personalized video" and see the takeaway as just "video." Outfitting your website with videos or maintaining a freshly updated YouTube channel can still go a long way in keeping customers engaged and interested. According to Cisco, video will account for 80 percent of web traffic by the end of the decade, so integrating more videos into your customer experience keeps you right on trend.
But it's not exactly what we're talking about, either. The key differentiator between those traditional, or "passive," videos and more modern videos is the personalization and interactivity that goes into the latter.
Having your audience watch a pre-recorded video is tantamount to having them watch a commercial on TV: it may shed light on an interesting service and net some new conversions, but it could also come off as irrelevant to some customers, cause others to tune out and potentially have a negative net effect. An interactive personalized video, by its very nature, does the opposite in keeping the customer completely involved in the experience.
When the customer is allowed to guide the conversation – following the tracks that most interest them, answering their own questions as they arise – they remain engaged. That kind of interaction not only speaks to their own interests, but also enables them to progress their personal sales cycles, significantly increasing the chances of both conversion and a long-term customer relationship.
The Personalised Touch
But it's more than just making videos interactive. They have to be experiences uniquely tailored to the customer's background, needs, location and even personality. When your video experience addresses the customer by name, presents relevant data from their individual situation, recommends certain products or new promotions based on their lifestyle or flags nearby stores around their location, it lets you add value to the interaction and go the extra mile in keeping them interested, engaged and feeling important.
After all, you don't want your customers to think that you're addressing a blank, generic audience when you're speaking to them; they should feel that you're speaking directly to them. By crafting the content, images and context of the video to a specific customer, you make them feel valued and important, making them more likely to not only buy once but continue coming back to buy.
EngageOne: Melding the Interactive with the Personalized
EngageOne® Video from Pitney Bowes is where these two components – interactivity and personalization – come together into one, customer-engaging product.
But how much more effective is an EngageOne Video experience compared to traditional video in keeping customers enthralled and involved? The proof is in the numbers:
- More clicks: With EngageOne Video, one insurance company saw the rate of customers who opened an email containing a link to an EngageOne Video experience stand at 55 percent, heads and shoulders above the industry average of just 20 percent.
- More time watching: Among those who opened the emails, 76 percent viewed and interacted with the video for at least four minutes, which is double that of the typical viewing time.
- More satisfaction: And the videos resonated strongly with their viewers, with an overwhelming 98 percent giving positive feedback on what they had seen.
Why Interactive Personalized Video Stands Ahead of the Pack
Traditional, one-size-fits-all video content – the type you would normally expect to watch on a company's website or YouTube channel – may interest customers, but it's also a very passive way of attempting to secure that interest. Personalized videos go one step further, offering capabilities such as greetings-by-name, personalized account balances or giving viewers the time of day, while still communicating consistently to all audiences.
But interactive personalized video experiences are the real future of customer engagement, in 2016 and beyond. With EngageOne Video, businesses can create lasting impressions on customers that allow them to direct their own meaningful video experiences, inviting them to stay longer and learn more while boosting overall engagement through every step of the customer journey.

Story peddler, word merchant,
everywhere I turn there's a tale to be told, all urgent:
There's an old man urchin with the same duct tape shoes
that rode the bus with me earlier today –
I guess we all must pay our dues.
Every clue, every missile,
every residual epistle,
every mountain we yet conquer,
every stone we over-turn
earns us scars and earns us badges,
every dart and all our baggage,
it is not too much to manage if we only listen true:
There is hope yet in the world still
and love when others have not e'en a morsel,
how to be so self-ensorceled and only see what's brute,
if you'd see yourself astutely, and not think yourself minutely,
which is your sacred duty, and the only thing that's true:
"Love your neighbor as you love yourself,"
gives you the dharma to love yourself!
And whatever's on your shelf there is always this to think –
"I love myself."
T'is neither selfish nor narcissitic,
because if you cannot stand yourself
why should others think your company distinguished?
And for all the damage that I've done, beating up this heart of mine,
With just a brief self-assurance I find I'm fine,
Sublime, in the love that is Self-Given,
a spark set within Myself pinpointed through a prism.

Make sure you wear the protection clothes and gears while painting. As the paint coating come with dangerous toxins, contact with the skin might cause dangerous effects.

text: It is a little defeating when you put a lot of time and energy into planning and executing your marketing plan, but you end up discovering that it made no difference to your bottom line. It makes you want to give up entirely on this useless and time-sucking process, even though every publication keeps telling you it is a silver bullet. Well guess what? Many other companies go through this process too. According to SBI Research, around 71 percent of marketers are going to experience a failure to get to their revenue targets, because they are using the wrong marketing strategies. You read it correctly – you are in the majority! So let us forget about all our grievances about marketing and focus on what went wrong. 1- You Had a Non-Existent Strategy: Sometimes you went with the flow and took things as they come. Who does not do that? Every marketer who has the intention of building their business. Depending on the tactics of your strategy, going in without a concrete plan is the biggest mistake. If you are "going with the flow" every time, you are going to end up nowhere. Solution: Have a clear strategy and plan of action that you can keep for the coming weeks and months. You do not need a 50-page long strategy booklet. You only need some clear points about the direction you want to take with your marketing process regarding how to capture leads, email frequency, social media strategy, videos, etc. 2- You Copied: It is very important to do research into what your competitors are doing with their marketing strategy, but you cannot simply copy what others find successful. You have to ensure your business is a little different from the rest. It is a problem when your target audience has no idea how you are different from the competition, because it means you only have one competitive option left: a lower price. Solution: Figure out why your company is unique and emphasize this uniqueness. Do you have a personalized way of treating customers? Are you offering a great service to them? Do you have some interesting story about how your company came about? 3- The Target Was Off: Did you complete research into who needs what you are trying to sell? Are the people you target the ones who really want your products? Are you targeting them at all? Before getting angry at your strategy, think about your client profile a little bit more. Solution: Is it time to identify your target customers. Get to know them very well. What are their values and struggles? How do they spend their days? What do they want from your company? This will ensure you can not only get their attention, but that you will target them in the right ways. Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Your email address will not be published.

The Reasoning section of every competitive exam includes questions from the topic "Clock". This topic is considered to be quiet important and questions from this section bit easier . We are providing you with Basic Concepts & Short Tricks to solve Clock related Questions which will surely help you in the upcoming examination.
A clock is an instrument used for indicating and maintaining the time. It is an electronic device that present the duration of hour, minute and second.
Different types of question covered in this chapter are as follows.
- Angle Between the Hands of clock
- Position of Hands of clock
- Faulty clocks
- Time Gained or lost by clock
The clock represents two things. i.e., minutes and hour. The minute is a unit of time equal to 1/60th of an hour or 60 s i.r., 1 min = 60 s.
Clocks Concepts :
- The dial of the clock is circular in shape and was divided into 60 equal minute spaces
- 60 minute spaces traces an angle of 3600. Therefore, 1minute space traverses an angle of 60
- In 1 hour, Minute hand traverses 60 minute space or 3600 ,Hour hand traverses 5 minute space or 300
- The hands of the clock are perpendicular in 15 minute spaces apart
- The hands of the clock are in straight line and opposite to each other in 30 minute spaces apart.
- The hands of the clock are in straight line when they coincide or opposite to each other.
- The hands of the clock are perpendicular to each other for 22 times in 12 hours and for 44 times in a day.
- The hands of the clock are opposite to each other for 11 times in 12 hours and 22 times in a day.
- The minute hand gain 55 minutes over hour hand per hour.
Hence x minute space to be gained by minute hand over hour hand can be calculated as x.(60/55) or x.(12/11)
Eg : At what time between 2'O clock and 3'O clock the hands of the clock were opposite to each other.
1. 34( 6/11 ) past 2'Oclock
2. 43( 7/11 ) past 2'Oclock
3. 56( 8/11 ) past 2'Oclock
4. 64(9/11past 2'Oclock
At 2'O clock the minute hand will be at 12 as shown below
The minutes hand to coincide with the hour hand it should trace at first 10 minute spaces and then the hands of the clocks to be opposite to each other minute hand should trace 30 minute spaces i.e. totally it should gain 10+30=40 minute spaces to be opposite to that of hour hand
We know that,
Minute hand gains 55 minute spaces over hour hand in 1 hour
Therefore, Minute hand gain 40 minute spaces over hour hand in 40 × (60/55) = 43(7/11)
Hence the hand of the clock will minutes be opposite to each at 43( 7/11 ) past 2'Oclock
Therefore, Correct option is 2'
When clock is too fast, too slow
- If a clock or watch indicates 6 hr 10 min when the correct time is 6, it is said that the clock is 10 min too fast. If it indicates 6. 40 when the correct time is 7, it is said to be 20 min too slow.
Now let us have an example based on this concept
Ex: My watch, which gains uniformly, is 2 min, & show at noon on Sunday, and is 4 min 48 seconds fast at 2 p.m on the following Sunday when was it correct ?
Solution:From Sunday noon to the following Sunday at 2 p.m there are 7 days 2 hours or 170 hours.
The watch gains 2+4 4/5 min in 170 hrs.
Therefore, the watch gains 2 min in (2 *170 * 5/34) hrs i.e., 50 hours
Now 50 hours = 2 days 2 hrs.
Therefore, 2 days 2 hours from Sunday noon = 2 p.m on Tuesday.
Problems On Angles
Before we actually start solving problems on angles, we need to know couple of basic facts clear:
- Speed of the hour hand = 0.5 degrees per minute (dpm)
- Speed of the minute hand = 6 dpm
- At 'n' o' clock, the angle of the hour hand from the vertical is 30n
Example : 1 What is the angle between the hands of the clock at 7:20
At 7 o' clock, the hour hand is at 210 degrees from the vertical.
In 20 minutes,
Hour hand = 210 + 20*(0.5) = 210 + 10 = 220 {The hour hand moves at 0.5 dpm}
Minute hand = 20*(6) = 120 {The minute hand moves at 6 dpm}
Difference or angle between the hands = 220 – 120 = 100 degrees
Example :2 Find the reflex angle between the hands of a clock at 05.30?
The above problem are solved by the bellow formula
Angle between X and Y =|(X*30)-((Y*11)/2)|
Angle between hands at 5:30
Step 1: X=5 , Y=30
Step 2: 5*30=150
Step 3: (30*11)/2 = 165
Step 4: 165-150=15
Thus, angle between hands at 5:30 is 15 degrees.
Example : 3 At what time 3&4'o clock in the hands of clock together.
Approximately we know at 03:15 hands of the clock together
So 15*60/55=16.36 min
Problems on Incorrect clocks
Such sort of problems arise when a clock runs faster or slower than expected pace. When solving these problems it is best to keep track of the correct clock.
Example : A watch gains 5 seconds in 3 minutes and was set right at 8 AM. What time will it show at 10 PM on the same day?
The watch gains 5 seconds in 3 minutes = 100 seconds in 1 hour.
From 8 AM to 10 PM on the same day, time passed is 14 hours.
In 14 hours, the watch would have gained 1400 seconds or 23 minutes 20 seconds.
So, when the correct time is 10 PM, the watch would show 10 : 23 : 20 PM
Important Points to remember:
- Two right angles per hour (Right angle = 90, Straight angle=180)
- Forty four right angles per day
- Between every two hours the hands of the clock coincide with each other for one time except between 11, 12 and 12, 1.In a day they coincide for 22 times.
- Between every two hours they are perpendicular to each other two times except between 2, 3 and 3, 4 and 8, 9 and 9, 10.In a day they will be perpendicular for 44 times.
- Between every two hours they will be opposite to each other one time except between 5, 6 and 6, 7.In a day they will be opposite for 22 times.

pebble silver and 9ct gold ring by lavan: H
- Out of stock. Available to order
This silver ring has been hammered on the outer surface to give a fabulous texture that catches the light every which way. On top is a small textured silver pebble shape with a 9ct gold bauble. It's a gorgeous, simple design that combines precious metals to a luxurious effect.
This ring has been handmade by renowned jeweller David Weinberger in his studio in Berkshire using both traditional and contemporary techniques. As each piece David makes is unique every one will be slightly different to the next which means the piece you receive may be slightly different to the image shown. However we promise each one will be just as special!
Materials: silver
Size: Width of band: 4mm; width of pebble: 8mm
Frequently asked questions about ordering rings with iapetus
What size do I need to order?
If you're buying a ring the safest way to get the size right is to go to a local jeweller and ask them to size your or the recipient's finger. This can be done either by measuring the finger or a ring that already fits correctly. Please be aware that the width of the band can change the size required, so be sure that the sizing is done with a band of similar width to the one you're buying. Wide/deep rings tend to fit tighter, dainty/slim rings tend to fit looser. We use 'centre' measurement, not 'leading edge' (your jeweller will know what this means!). If you need any advice please contact us.
The ring size I need is out of stock. Will it come into stock soon?
We generally only hold one size of each ring in stock, so orders for sizes out of stock will be made specifically for you by the artist once you have placed the order. Please select the size of ring you need from the ring size drop-down box.
When will I receive my ring once ordered?
Most rings will take between 3-5 weeks to make for you depending on the artist, time of year etc. However, if you do need it for a specific date please contact us and we'll do our best to get your ring to you in time.
What happens if I've ordered the wrong size?
Most of our rings can be resized by our artists. There will be a small charge to cover the time and postage costs for this. Please note: if your ring is a custom order/has been made for you, we cannot issue a refund. Please contact us to discuss your resizing requirements.
Can this ring be made in another metal?
Many of our rings can be made in other metals, i.e. silver, yellow gold, rose gold, white gold etc. Please contact us to discuss your requirements. If it is possible we will then come back to you with a quote and timescale for making the ring.
How do I convert non-UK ring sizes to UK ring sizes?
You can convert non-UK ring sizes to UK sizes and visa versa at this website >.

NAD Triple Rectifier
- Updated
if you like crappy metal, go ahead and get a distortion pedal. but amps like this were made for the fact you don't need a fag pedal.
the triple is the TIGHTEST amp out here, so i don't see what all these yuppy fucks are saying. learn how to use your ear and eq it, maybe your scared of turning the master up, 150 watts will fuck you up, thats true.
get a mesa trad quad or a marshall for extra tightness and sweet sounds. there you go.
