Clarifying your value proposition… and your elevator pitch
Forty-seven minutes. That is how long it took me to drive home from Downtown Vancouver to back here in Maple Ridge. Through the fog every mile of the journey… that is until I got to my front door.
You see, I live out here on the edge of a Mountain, slightly elevated above a very scenic commuter community. For those who are not local and would not know, there is a low pressure inversion blanketing the Lower Mainland. Our home is above it. When people ask me why I live out here, I often have standard answers: more affordable housing, a small-town feel, wider parking spaces [which is great for small children]. However, I now have another answer to give.
"Living in the suburb provides you with more opportunity to clarify your value proposition, practice your elevator pitch, and come out of the fog."
You see… I had one of those days of meetings and networking. I met a former colleague for lunch to catch up and talk about the latest business projects, what's new, what's different and how we are going to change the world. A quick hop into Starbucks [London Fog Latte… it seemed appropriate] to work on a business plan that I was preparing for the late afternoon's First Round Capital's Office Hours. Then a meeting with a business partner to discuss development plans on one of my ventures (TeeTimes.net). Followed by the aforementioned Office Hours [I pitched an angle of Texts.com, not the business plan I was preparing earlier]. Followed by a quick dinner (responding to a day's worth of emails while eating). Followed by networking at the Vancouver Entrepreneur's Meetup. Followed by a late night coffee with a few other entrepreneurs and genuinely nice people that I met tonight (here, here, and here). And then the drive home.
All day long, I practiced my elevator pitch (or on a day like today I should say, "pitches"). And all day long I listened to others explain their business models and communicate their value propositions. Some were well done, and others like the presenter from the Investor's Group who must have misread the 30 second pitch guidelines as 3 minutes… not so much.
But the drive home provided me with 47 minutes to rehearse my pitch and think about what resonated with my day's companions, and what left people in a fog. Well actually it was only 45 minutes. The first 2 minutes were spent listening to the radio to hear that the Canucks blew another game.
So here is what I learned from tonight:
- Texts.com – One of the things that I like about good quality generic domain names, especially when it is your company's name, is that it leads your audience into your pitch before you open your mouth. At the Entrepreneur's Meetup on my name tag, I scribbled "John" and beneath it I wrote "Texts.com". From here, depending on the audience, I could adjust my pitch to one of the following:
- "Texts.com provides international text messaging and SMS Marketing services. With our international text messaging service, we save money for those who wish to send an SMS message internationally. Rather than paying your standard carrier a message rate that reaches as high as $0.50 per message, we can deliver a text message to your overseas friend or family for as low as $0.10 per message. In other words, we simplify international text messaging." … or…
- "Texts.com provides international text messaging and SMS Marketing services. Our SMS marketing services focus on the smaller local merchant. A typical short code that is required for mobile marketing campaigns costs anywhere from $15k to $30k per year and takes 12 weeks to set up. This is not practical for a small business. Likewise, a merchant could lease a shared short code, and while this is more affordable, if a person unsubscribes from a campaign that happened to be on the same network, you lose that customer. Instead, we are implementing technology to let a person "Call-to-Subscribe" to a mobile marketing campaign at rates that are much more affordable than the cheapest shared short codes. Small businesses now have an affordable option to participate in mobile marketing."
So in hindsight (and one 45 minute drive later), how did I do? I think it would have been better to simply lead with a single message around local SMS Marketing. Next time I would start off with the key value proposition of our SMS marketing and how we differ from existing systems. Full stop.
- TeeTimes.net – A few times tonight I had the opportunity to talk about another one of my ventures, TeeTimes.net. Once again, the domain name says a lot about the business. A person who has any sort of understanding about golf, would know that this business has to do something about TeeTimes and they would probably even conclude that it is a place for online golf reservations. So how did I do?
- "We operate a web-based golf reservations business that allows golfers to book their tee times online for more than 1,000 golf courses across North America."
People got this. They understood what we did. It was simple. In some instances, I delved deeper into the business model and our execution strategy that made us unique, but for the most part, I stopped it after the first sentence. In other words, to paraphrase Jerry Maguire, "You had me at Hello".
What other messages did I hear tonight that I liked?
- Elizabeth Southall of PowerhouseCopy (a direct response copywriter) — "I specialize in direct response copywriting for the web that helps you convert more of your visitors into paying customers." Cool. Sounds good. I could use that.
- Tom Gibson of OutsideIncredible (a product marketing consultant) — "I'm a product value specialist. I help companies make their products and services resonate instantly with buyers." He even had that exact pitch written on his business card. Nice touch.
- Derek Bell of Tynt… "We enable people to Graffitti up the web, sharing their thoughts via the social web"… At least I think that was it. In any case, I got it right away… but perhaps this is just because I have always been a fan of the website PostIt note model since I came across Third Voice many, many years ago.
For everyone else that I met tonight… I look forward to seeing you again real soon.
Paid Search Advertising Course in Maple Ridge?
I am considering conducting some sort of paid search advertising clinic for small businesses here in Maple Ridge. My motivation for this is two fold:
First, I bought a few good domain names the other day that are highly relevant in MarketingClinics.com, AdvertisingClinics.com and BrandingClinics.com. And while I am focusing the Marketing Clinics website on a new venture focused on paid search marketing for chiropractors and dentists, it would be a shame to just sit on the AdvertisingClinics.com domain.
Secondly, I truly enjoy sharing knowledge about search marketing, paid search advertising, and some of the techniques that I am using. Am I a teacher? Well, I haven't taught anything 'officially' since about 1995 when I was teaching some adult literacy courses. But I do sit and coach/mentor people one-on-one about these opportunities on a weekly basis.
What I am pondering aloud (and in the oh-so public forum that is this medium), is if there any interest in a hands-on course geared towards the small businesses owner/manager that would run for about 4 evenings over the course of a 4-week period? Is there a market for this? I figure that the course would entail some hands on campaign development so at the end of the session, you would have your advertising campaigns built out for your business? I would think I should be able to talk Google, Yahoo!, and Microsoft out of some vouchers to sweeten the pot. Hmmm….
Let me know your thoughts and if there is any interest.

Forever Grateful for Y'all !!

Well, the time has come. It's Wednesday, and Run the Bluegrass is Saturday. I am so very excited for this race! I'm excited mainly due to the fact that I won't be running alone. I will be running with my first child! :) How many children can say they ran a half marathon before they even exited the womb? Well, mine will be able to say that.
I've been doing my long runs with my two friends, Sarah W. and Sarah B. Both of these friends I know from high school, which makes the training all the more special. I don't keep in touch with a lot of people from high school, so it's very nice to be back in touch with people that I was able to share high school with, and now I get to share this with them as well. Even if we don't run together during the race, training was a big part of the fun!
We went out this past Sunday for our last long run before the race, 12 miles. Going into this training, I wasn't sure what to expect out of running while pregnant. At first, I wasn't pleased. During my first trimester, I was SO tired that sometimes I couldn't muster up the energy to run at all, so I didn't. But as soon as my energy started to show back up, I started morning runs. I can't run after school because my feet are swollen and it's very uncomfortable to do so.
As for long runs, I've been very pleased! With all of us! We've all been running the entire runs, and at a pretty good clip. For my eight miler, I averaged around 9:20, my nine miler was an average of 9:19, eleven miler was 9:25, and my twelve miler was 9:37.
Our twelve miler included quite a few hills. We ran a couple of neighborhoods that have some pretty good hills and then we went to the Danville Country Club. Our intention was to just run up the drive to the country club and back out, but when we got down the drive, we decided to run the cart path of the back nine of the golf course. All I can say is, WOW! We definitely had our hill work for the week. This course we're running on Saturday is supposedly pretty hilly, so let's hope we're ready for it!
Run the Bluegrass, here we come!

Guide When Buying Ice Cream-Making Machines
It is important to be in possession of an ice cream-making machine when you are someone who loves to eat ice cream. With the ice cream-making machine at home, you won't have to expensively spend when buying from the store. When you want to sell ice cream, you will also need to buy an ice cream-making machine. Therefore, you will go for the ice cream-making machine that makes the commercial ice cream. There are many ice cream-making machines, though not all of them will be your best choice. You need to have some guidelines, when you want to choose the best ice cream-making machine. This is one of the hard tasks you can indulge in, more so when it is your first time doing the purchase. This article will then be of great help to you when you want to find the perfect ice cream-making machine.
Size is the first thing you will consider. You need to ensure that you buy an ice cream-making machine that will produce the right amount of ice cream. You will as well ensure that the size of the ice cream-making machine is correct for the commercial use you intend it for. Therefore, when there is a high demand for ice cream, you will need to buy a bigger ice cream-making machine, or even more to accommodate the demand. You will then need the size of the ice cream-making machine to accommodate the size of your domestic use, as you do not want to buy a bigger one as it will be unnecessary.
When buying the ice cream-making machine, you will as well consider the cost that you will incur. Always ensure that you can afford the ice cream-making machine. You can land in a financial crisis, when you buy an expensive ice cream-making machine that makes you find a hard time raising the cash. For instance, those who want to start an ice cream making business, they will ensure that the ice cream-making machine that they buy will be according to the budget that they had intended. Therefore, before you head to the store, you will ensure that you have the desired amount. You need to have a flexible budget, however, so that you can find an ice cream-making machine of good qualities. Good quality ice cream-making machine can have an elevated price, due to the added features. Durability is also a consideration and those that last longer are more expensive. You do not want to have a frequent purchase of new ice cream-making machines, or doing their repairs often, so you will opt for a durable one, and you will save a lot in the long run. You will find good ice cream-making machine when you can follow these considerations.

With reservation, Laura agreed to talk about how she was tryingto better herself for her son.
Since September she has been receiving monthly assistance fromthe SNAP program. Like most Kansans on assistance she did see a $20 cutback inNovember and is currently getting $347.
"I have an 11-year-old. I have to put food in his belly," Laurasaid.
While Laura was willing to talk, she declined to give her lastname or the name of her 11 year old son.
She admitted to enjoying an early morning indulgence at McDonald'sas she waited for classes to begin at Hutchinson Community College. Thanks to a Pell grant, the 39 year oldwill finally attend college.
"I'm a late bloomer," she said.
She was separated from her husband, a truck driver. Maybe theywill get back together, but for now she is on her own with a child to feed.
"I figured I needed to do something to take care of my son andme," she said, explaining why she had enrolled in college.
Laura has lofty dreams of becoming a social worker, and workingwith children.
"I am a survivor of the state's foster care system, "she said. "I want to improve the system."
For now all she knows is being a waitress and working in fastfoods, but she knows there is no way working in fast food can buy all her foodand pay the rent.
"I got it in my head that one way or the other I was going backto school," Laura said.
With determination, she is ready to do more with her life, and thanksto the guidance of a mentor through Vocational Rehabilitation Services, thatmight be possible. Because Laura has some learning disabilities, she has beenassigned a counselor through the vocational rehabilitation program with theKansas Department of Children and Families.
A bond is forming with the two women. The counselor helped herrealize what she wanted in life, which is to help others as she had been helpedin her life. She has set a goal of becoming a social worker.
�"She directed me in theright direction," Laura said.� She wascurrently waiting to learn what job she would have through the work studyprogram, which is a requirement with her Pell grant.
The vocational rehabilitation program is for anyone withdisabilities that are barriers to employment. They can range from difficultyhearing to a double amputee, to a person with learning or cognitive problems.The program empowers Kansans with disabilities to become gainfully employed andself-sufficient.
Twenty percent of the national population has some form ofdisability, said Michael Donnelly, director of rehabilitation services, a divisionof DCF.
Generally counselors meet once a month, if not more, with theirclients. Laura knows she can call her counselor any time, and because there issomeone cheering her on and who she must be accountable to, her chance tosucceed is greater.�
Donnelly said the objective of the program is to find employmentthat meets and matches up with the talent, skills and interests of the client.If they are not interested in the job they generally won't keep working at it.The program offers the services and support that helps the client be successful.
According to Donnelly, 1,700 people got and kept those jobs forat least 90 day, in 2013, closing out their VR cases. Their average wage was$9.80 an hour and they were averaging 30 hours a week.
"The other thing importantto note, as a result there are $21 million in the return on investment, it'svery good. It's good for the economy.�For each dollar earned as a result of a VR placement, there is about$1.66 in total earnings generated through the economy, according to a studydone by Wichita State University.� Further, for each person employed through VR,there are about 1.85 total jobs created in the overall economy," Donnelly said.
Now that Laura is a student, she's receiving $2,822 for thesemester through the Pell grant and is enrolled in 12 hours of study. It's alot to digest for this first time freshman. She is enrolled in an orientationclass, English Composition I, Psychology and Introduction to Social Work.
She has told her son, who is currently a student at Lincoln School, that college will not be anoption, but a requirement.
"He wants to be a bull rider, a bull fighter or a fire fighter,"she laughs. "He's a cowboy all the way."
Laura is making it happen because she and her son are able tolive with their in-laws, despite the separation from her husband.
"My husband and I get along better now," she said. Because he isa truck driver, he lives most the time in his truck.
Her parents divorced when she was a young child.
"My mom couldn't care for me and my dad didn't want to," shesaid. "I was a child in need of care at 12."
She has been on and off of food assistance since 1998.
Despite the current cuts, thanks to the Pell grant, she says shecan make their food stamps stretch.
Using her Vision card, she makes monthly trips to Aldi's whereshe fills her cart to overflowing.� Thenshe makes trips to Nickerson's IGA to purchase meat bundles.
"I shop smart," she said.

Clive Randell loves motorcycles, but an unfortunate accident in 2011 seriously injured his leg and potentially prevented him from ever riding his beloved Harley-Davidson motorcycle again. His leg had several open fractures and one particular fracture that left some bone that protruded through his skin. He had extensive skin loss, and his doctors told me several times that his leg would have to be amputated. Things looked grim to say the least.
However, new stem cell procedure that repairs severely fractured bones has healed his bad leg and saved Clive from amputation. In fact, now Clive can ride his motorbike again. This new, pioneering stem cell procedure could give a new hope for victims of severe accidents who face limb amputation.
This new procedure uses stem cells extracted from the patient's bone marrow from the patient's pelvis and then mixes these cells with a specially created gel matrix to provide the cells with the right environment in order for them to form bone. This stem cell/matrix was then injected into the damaged bone with some hardware, such as a rod, which is inserted into the bone for support. Over time, the stem cells regenerate bone at the fracture site, traversing the fracture with new bone and completely healing the damaged bone.
The intrepid physician who used this new procedure to heal Mr. Randall is Professor Anan Shetty, who serves as the Deputy Director of Minimally Invasive Surgery at Kent's Canterbury Christ Church University. The motivation behind Dr. Shetty's research is easy to understand. In the United Kingdom alone there are 350,000 serious fractures every year. Five to ten percent of these fractures are too extensive to heal and demand multiple surgeries, bone grafts, and other procedures that sometimes end in limb amputation if they fail to produce satisfactory results.
The fractured bone lacks an established blood supply, which means that it is very tough going for any implanted stem cells. Implanted stem cells have no way to receive signals to regenerate damaged cells. This new treatment circumvents this problem by using the bioengineered gel that contains the ingredients to that tells the stem cells what to do.
According to Professor Shetty, "Experiments have shown that collagen [gels] can trigger the transformation of stem cells into bone forming cells." Dr. Shetty continued: "These "miracle" cells are abundant in bone marrow, so may be harvested, concentrated and applied with a collagen 'scaffold' into an area of poor healing."
According to Clive Randall, "I may never dance the tango, but, thanks to Professor Shetty, I will be able to get as near to normal as possible."
This bone-healing operation is performed under a general anaesthesia and only takes 30 minutes, after which the patient can walk out of the hospital and go home on the same day as the procedure. To date, six patients in the UK, four in India and 20 in South Korea have undergone this procedure.
Bone marrow for this procedure is drawn from the crest of the ilium of the patient's pelvis by means of a stiff, hollow needle. Bone marrow contains a mixture of differ types of stem cells (including hematopoietic stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells, and endothelial progenitor cells), and red blood cells. The bone marrow extract is then concentrated through centrifugation, but the red blood cells are usually removed. The concentrated bone marrow stem cell preparation is then mixed with collagen and this mixture is ready for implantation by injection.
For the surgical procedure, the surgeon stabilizes the fracture with a plate or long metal rod that is inserted through the central medullary canal or the bone. These stabilizing tools can be inserted with a small incision. The stem cell and collagen suspension is then injected into the fracture site and around the bone, guided by either live fluoroscopy or X-ray.
After the surgery, the patient is actually allowed put some weight on the affected limb, and is instructed to progressively increase the load he or she applies through his leg. Interestingly, Prof Shetty's pioneering procedure cuts the healing time associated with these types of procedures in half, and at a cost of about $3,500 to $5,200, costs a fraction of the hundreds of thousands of dollars usually involved in amputation, rehabilitation and fitting the patient for prosthetics.
Professor Norimasa Nakamura, president elect of the International Cartilage Repair Society and one of the world's leading authorities on stem cell treatment, has welcomed Prof Shetty's work, saying: "It will revolutionize the whole field of bone fracture repairs. The patient has a more effective treatment and the health provider saves money. It's a win-win situation."
After his accident, Clive Randall, who worked as a high-altitude window cleaner who lived in Orpington, Kent, had a cage screwed to his damaged leg. He also underwent three bone grafts and several other procedures within 18 months after his accident. The accident also drastically changed his life. Even though the driver of the car was successfully prosecuted, he lost his job, girlfriend, and most of his money. He also had to take a deal of pain medication and became greatly depresses; at one time, understandably, he contemplated suicide. In a kind of "Hail Mary," Clive turned to the internet and typed "I want to save my leg."
He found Prof Shetty's name, and the rest is history, but he is still in a state of disbelief over the reversal in his fortunes since having the operation in 2012. He said, "Six hours after the operation, Professor Shetty told me to get up and go for a walk. After being in and out of hospitals, I really couldn't believe it. I'd suffered 15 months of being told there was a good chance I was going to lose my leg, yet eight weeks after the procedure I was told to start putting weight on it and to walk as much as I could. It still hurts to walk long distances, but that will improve. My foot is turned out a little bit to the side and I have a limp, but that's a small price to pay to keep my leg. My hope is this procedure will eventually be available to everyone, since it can help so many people, particularly the military. The old way of mending broken bones is so painful and stops you getting on with your life. Professor Shetty's stem cell surgery is quick and almost painless, so it's important more people hear about it."
There you have it from the patient himself. Now only if the power-hungry, control-driven FDA would get off their duffs and look into bringing this procedure to the US?

It's not unusual for people with arthritis to have difficulty dressing, especially if their finger joints, wrists, or shoulders are affected. Your main goal should be to make everything as simple as possible.
Get Out of Drawers
- Make sure that your dresser drawers are oiled and easy to open and close. If the drawers have small pulls, replace them with larger handles that are easier to grasp. You can also use your forearm or lean with your body weight to close dresser drawers. This works well for closing any drawers and also with doors.
- Keep everyday "musts," such as socks and underwear, in the easiest-to-reach drawers, so that you don't have to bend or struggle to get to them.
Slip into Something Comfortable
- Replace buttons with Velcro if possible. Also replace shoelaces, belts, zippers, and bra hooks with Velcro.
- Replace button cuffs with elastic at the end of sleeves.
- Wear loose clothing that is easy to get in and out of. Avoid turtlenecks and items that need to be zipped or buttoned in the back.
- If you use neckties, ask your spouse, partner, or friend to pretie them for you. This way, you can just slip them on and tighten the knot.
Try Gadgets
There are many devices available that help with these tasks; see an occupational therapist for suggestions.
- A long-handled shoehorn can make putting on shoes less of a chore.
- Socks are easier to pull on with gadgets that snap onto the sides to help you pull them up.
- Buy a valet stand that can hold your shirt or blouse while you put your arm through the sleeve.

Nowadays, the word is that cardio is definitely not the most effective way of achieving your dream body. Actually, resistance training is the answer you were looking for.
According to a study which included 53 patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, resistance exercise significantly increased the muscle mass and the fat-free mass. Moreover, this type of exercise also decreased the fatty liver, iron and insulin levels. So, this study proved that this type of exercise improves the metabolic syndrome in patients who have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
There is a lot of information about different types of exercise and it is sometimes difficult to decide which type is ideal for you.
Nevertheless, in this article you can read about the absolutely BEST exercises. Doing them will cost you nothing, yet you will tone and tighten your body.
Top 10 Exercises for Losing Weight
1.The Squat
The squat is a popular exercise which includes a basic movement which can shape your butt and legs. Bodyweight squats are more challenging. Adding dumbbells in the exercise is an advanced stage of the squat which you can try once you master the basic version. Watch the video below to see how to do squats:
2. The lunge
This exercise will help you tone your butt and hamstrings. If you're suffering from knee pain, you can do a glute bridge instead of lunges. Take a look at the video for more information:
3. The Push Up
The push-up exercise is effective for the upper mid-section and the triceps. Simply follow these steps:
– Lie on the floor with your face down. Place your hands about 36 inches apart with your torso at arm's
– Then, lower with your chest until you almost touch the floor and inhale.
– While exhaling, go back to starting position.
– Take a brief break, and lower down again as many times you can.
4. The Pull Up
This exercise is considered to be one of the most important ones as it helps you condition your back and biceps. You should find a bar which can support your weight. A pull-up is done with your hands facing away from you.
Here's how to perform this exercise:
– Grab a bar with a grip and hang all the way down.
– Next, pull yourself up until your chin is above the bar and pause.
– Then, lower all the way back down.
– Wait a minute and do another set.
5. The Plank
This is an extremely effective exercise which engages the entire core, including the transverse abdominous, which can prevent and relieve back pain. Try to be able to hold the plank position for a minute.
6. The Spider Crawl
This exercise will strengthen your core and at the same time increase your hips' mobility.
7. The Get Up/ Up-Down Plank
This amazing exercise will target the triceps and it will help you lose the underarm flab. You should maintain a solid plank throughout the whole exercise.
These are the instructions:
– Start in a plank position with your hips still.
– Lower your back to the elbows one arm at a time.
– Halfway through, change your leading arm so you strengthen the other shoulder as you press up to your hands.

Let's not talk about the time I was offered $250 for a comprehensive marketing strategy — weeks worth of work — and say we did.
There's something many of my peers have been discussing in private groups and behind closed doors but no dares to speak out loud for fear of losing work. We trade emails where editors think $25 for 500-word articles, replete with secondary sources and rounds of revision, to be a living wage. We lament over the fact that seasoned marketers are being outbid by people with little to no actual work experience beyond preening themselves in front of a camera. I'm told, why would I pay X if Competitor A offers a third of your rate, to which I respond: I don't compete on price; I compete on value, efficacy, and experience. Last week someone told me that she made more money doing the same thing ten years ago than she does now. Her professional life is one of diminishing returns: she has to work twice as hard now to make the same money she made a decade ago. In a private Facebook group, scores of influential bloggers talk about how brands and publicists trot out the word "exposure" in exchange for free work. Recently, writer Victoria Philpott shared a perfect scenario of this charade in her incisive essay about the trap of blogging for exposure:
A new startup wants you to review their app on your site, host a competition to give 5 away to your readers and write about them on the App Store. In return you'll get to be one of the first to try the new app. You go back and tell them that's advertising and will cost but they 'don't have the budget for that'.
So, they want a good few hours work, and access to your audience, in return for an app you didn't ask for or want?
Another friend seethes when she's told by her editor that college kids would be willing to work for free (or for a fraction of the standard rate) because everyone wants exposure and experience. In a hustle economy, everyone's juggling side gigs and projects, and the refrain is constant: we're working harder for less.
I worked through college — balancing a 20+ hour work week with a full course load, volunteer activities, and a social life. Most of my internships were paid because I couldn't afford not to make money, and while I understood that my compensation directly correlated with my experience, it was unthinkable to compete with full-time employees' comp, people who had years of experience.
Let me be clear and say that this isn't a get-off-my-lawn rant, a Gen X vs. Gen Y kerfuffle that rivals Biggie and Tupac. We need each other, and I believe in the power of symbiotic mentorship. After I left a digital marketing agency where I was an equity partner, I kept in close contact with many people who reported to me, brilliant women who went on to break ranks and with whom I forged close relationships. Although we were 10–15 years apart in age, we knew our respective value, and it was equal and powerful. I mentored women on being a manager and leader, how to negotiate comp and deal with toxic employees, and they kept me fresh on burgeoning trends and social media, and what I've learned most from my millennial friends is the power of reinvention. Of taking something old and seeing in it the new.
So if you're ready to get riled up at the kids today, there are plenty of articles on Medium that will satiate you — this is not one of them.
For the past few years, I've witnessed a disturbing trend in some agencies where they've skimmed the top (less P&L impact) and hired junior talent in hopes of growing them rapidly into senior roles. A whole middle layer of management was nearly non-existent, so you had very senior people too deep in the weeds and junior talent feeling overwhelmed and non-equipped to manage work and situations in which they had little experience. In The Devil's Advocate (bear with me), Al Pacino's character tells a young and arrogant Keanu Reeves:
I know you got talent, I knew that before you got here. It's just the other thing I wonder about: pressure, it changes everything. Some people you squeeze them, they focus. Others fold. Can you summon your talent at will? Can you deliver on a deadline? Can you sleep at night?
Some people surprise you — they're natural leaders and they exude confidence and acumen beyond their years, a talent that's rare and priceless. A soon-to-be college grad outlines, in detail, how hard she worked to get published in bold-face publications before graduation, and I respect her tenacity, talent, and hustle. Yet, there's something to be said for tenure, for having the years, for enduring experience and learning from it and then having the perspective that only time and distance brings to bear on new situations. I will always believe in the adage "you get what you pay for".Replacing tenured talent with cheap labor to save bottom-line impact isn't a viable long-term strategy. Placing band-aids on dams might work in the short-term but inevitably the dam will burst.
There's real and tangible value in having a college or intern perspective. There's value in having someone who knows the nuances of a particular social media channel give input on content and strategy. However, the value is complementary, not interchangeable. Just because someone will do something for free doesn't mean you need to take advantage of it for the short-term savings, completely sacrificing the value of experience and perspective. Complement, don't replace all.
Let's revisit that offer of $250 and what comprises an integrated marketing strategy. Building a strategy requires (I'm summarizing big time here):
- Discovery/Research: A complete brand and business immersion and discussions with staff across business units — all of this in the context of industry factors and consumer trends/behavior
- Key Learnings: From all of the research and discussions, I tend to identify challenges and opportunities, along with some kick fixes or wins. Since I'm removed from the day-to-day, I have the fortune of distance and perspective and can usually identify issues (internal and external) and opportunities that staff too close to the business might miss
- Objectives/Goals Discussion: This is lengthy, and often we review past day and performance as well as a deeper conversation about their existing customer base. We discuss quantifiable and qualitative goals and objectives, knowing that our strategy has to satisfy or meet those goals/objectives. We discuss what success is and how to measure/optimize it, by channel, by tactic
- Strategy Outline: This is the "What" — What we'll do to service the goals/objectives. This isn't a tactic, a "we'll launch an Instagram channel" or "we'll hire a YouTube celeb to bolster our brand" — this is the big idea and plan that will impact the entire business, and will be implemented across paid, owned, earned and partner media.
- Tactical Roadmap: From the strategy falls the tactics, which brings the ideas to life in a practical way, i.e. the "How". This will invariably require the collaboration between partners (internal and external) for development of distinct and detailed plans with budgets, timelines, and allocated resources
So you think all that work — weeks of labor — is worth $250? I've worked hard for 17+ years to be paid $250 for a marketing strategy? Surely you jest.
You think the hours it takes for writers to find sources, compose interview questions, transcribe interviews, draft articles and make revisions are worth $25? $100? $250?
As Shannon Barber so sagely writes: "No one can eat exposure." I tell people I'm not operating a non-profit. Would I ask my doctor to reduce her rate because someone down the street charges less? Would I nickel and dime a plumber? Would I ask someone to paint my apartment for free in exchange for an Instagram post? Why is it that people find it easy to diminish the value of writers and marketers (non-tactile skills)? Why is it so easy to sacrifice quality for short-term profit?
When will brands and businesses focus on complementary talent rather than bottom-line savings that hurt over time?

Being newbie in the field of saving and investing, you might want to check why money matters to you. Last night while reading a newspaper, homesick struggles of Pinoy OFWs in UAE almost 90 % of the answers include financial reasons. The fear of not providing enough for their families back home.
Why money matters to you?
I have 3 important reasons;
First, Money can buy freedom. I remember the time when I was working as a dishwasher, I don't have freedom to choose my work schedule, my holidays, and could not quit job because I don't have enough money to support myself once I resign. If I only have enough money, I can choose to study rather than working, I can go for engrande vacation rather than keeping the holidays in exchange of monetary value and I will have a freedom lifestyle.
Second, Money works for me. I learned that money can grow with proper financial education. If you will remember my post about; http://www.newbie.ph/2015/04/how-i-turned-400k-portfolio-into-1.html , I believed that I will have more than enough or if not millions then billions on my second retirement funds. Keep your buying power on the side until the global issues calm down.
Third, Money is God's gift. I sent money for typhoon victims. I bought food for street children. I gave back to charities. Indeed, money turned into a gift because of the proper handling of it
Feel free to share why money matters to you?
Sincerely yours,
Jonathan Ruiz
Newbie Mentor
P.S. I would like to thank Filipino Times for recognizing my contribution in the field of entrepreneurship thru PAM Academy (www.pamacademy.net), it's an honor to be part of final nominees.

Size-wise, the Moleskine large cahiers, at 13cm x 21 cm are only a smidgen different from the notebooks in the Stamford TJ (12.5cm x 21cm) and so at first glance would be a natural possible alternative, especially as a three-pack can be obtained for about £6.20, making each notebook just over £2.
I bought both the squared and lined cahiers and in grey covers as the best colour to complement the red of the TJ.
As you can see, the three-pack comes with a label wrapped around the cahiers. Inside each three-pack is the usual booklet from Moleskine, outlining the 'history' of the Moleskine (nice idea; shame it's about a different notebook altogether...). I throw these into recycling because they are propaganda, but each to their own.
There are 80 pages in each book, with the last 16 sheets being (32 pages) being removable. The perforations are such that, if you didn't want to remove the pages, they wouldn't easily detach.
The covers are simple grey card, with Moleskine embossed into the card on the back.
|Embossed into the back of the cover
There is a slip-pocket in the back cover. The corners are rounded. I note that the books are designed in Italy and manufactured in China.
Squared version:
The squares are 5mm x 5mm, with 41 full squares x 25 full squares per page.
|Squared version
|Slip-pocket in back cover
Lined version:
There are 31 lines per page with a line-spacing of 6mm. The top margin is 20mm; the bottom 10mm. 31 lines is nice if you want to have a line per day of the month and use them as some kind of diary. I have pretty small writing and so a line spacing of 6mm is no problem for me but for many, this might be a bit tight.
|Lined version
Ink tests:
Oh boy.
Epic fail on the pen test! If you don't use a fountain pen you could use them okay but otherwise...
Nice size, nice idea and if the paper were even marginally better I might consider using these for making my own week + notes diary. If I do, I'll be doing it in pencil and biro though!

My first statement will be the definition of animal testing if you didn't know.
Animal testing Is basically a system in which major companies test their products on different types of animal species. Many people have been against this statement, such as a girl who died in the process of protecting an endangered species.
But, if we banned animal testing, we would have to test it on plants or humans! Imagine someone saying, "Hey! It works! This mushroom is reacting to this medical operation!
These arguments prove the declaration of how animal testing should be banned."
First, I would like to start with some statistics.
According to CIA world factbook 2012, 100 million animals are burned, crippled, and killed in labs every year. Why would that be right to continue doing? Also, according to the same source several cosmetic tests commonly performed on mice, rats, rabbits, and guinea pigs include:
skin and eye irritation tests where chemicals are rubbed on shaved skin or dripped into the eyes without any pain relief.
repeated force-feeding studies that last weeks or months, to look for signs of general illness or specific health hazards.
widely condemned "lethal dose" tests, where animals are forced to swallow large amounts of a test chemical to determine what dose causes death.
So now that we know the destruction of Animal testing, let us explain why it would not effect our environment.
First, a great many companies are advertising "no animal testing." This seems to be something that is growing larger and larger due to the drive to save animal's lives. In addition, scientists are creating molecular compound breakdown devices that can predict the result of a drug without testing it on a living thing. This is done by examining the structure of a molecule and the effect it has on the cosmos. This technology will continue to increase and animal testing will become less necessary.
So the plan I am proposing is this: By one years time, animal testing will become illegal to where no IPA drugs or medicines are tested on animals.
One years time will be plenty of time to break our reliability on animal testing. The murdering of animals is something that must be stopped, which is why it should be banned.
Thank you
If you want, I can friend you and maybe give you some advice

Every one is eaqual on this earth. Then why should we test on those innocent animals ( Innocents means animals. )? It shouldn't be tested on animals no more. We should bring a revoultion towards this from animal side. since they can't speak like us.

Tor.com and Ereads.com Today
It's been fascinating to watch the parade of commentary by SF authors on tor.com today, as we communally celebrate the 40th anniversary of our arrival on the Moon. (The servers there were getting pretty maxed out for a while, so loading was slow, but they seem to have it under control now.) My own contribution appeared during the early hours and has scrolled onto the second page by now, but I'm in good company, coming between Joe Haldeman and Charlie Stross. (Here's a permalink to the Moon Landing Day celebration. More of a directory, though. If you're reading this on July 20, better to go to the main page.)
At first there was no cool picture to accompany my post, but they've now added one, and I'm happy!
Also, whether by coincidence or design, Ereads.com picked today to do a nice writeup on my books. They couldn't have picked a better day for it!

Varga scored in the fourth quarter on 13- and 7-yard runs. He finished with 31 yards on four carries and caught three passes for 39 yards. Johnson scored on a 19-yard run and tied for the South team highs with 10 carries for 43 yards. He also caught a 16-yard pass and returned three kickoffs for 82 yards, giving him a game-high 141 all-purpose yards. Also for the South, Dezmin Lewis of Central Arkansas caught three passes for 59 yards. Among FCS defensive players, Samford strong safety Jaquiski Tartt had the most tackles with three, including one for a loss. The FCS was represented by 11 FCS seniors. Cameron Jordan Saints Jersey .

After a quick start this season, with six goals in about a month, the 22-year-old defenceman slowed down and was scoreless for 11 straight games. In the first period Saturday against Winnipeg, he had a giveaway in the Bruins zone that helped the Jets take a 1-0 lead. "Thats frustrating," said Krug, who assisted on the tying goal and then scored twice to lead Boston to a 4-1 victory. "Its all about putting it into the past and forgetting about it." Daniel Paille also scored for Boston, and Tuukka Rask made 36 saves for the Bruins before they embark on a three-game California trip. Dustin Byfuglien scored and Ondrej Pavelec stopped 25 shots for Winnipeg. The Jets have lost two in a row since bringing a three-game winning streak into the new year. Byfuglien gave the Jets the lead midway through the first period after Krug failed to clear the zone. But Boston tied it when Krug coasted in from the blue line and found Paille on the other side of the crease for quick redirect. The Bruins took the lead 3 minutes into the second when Krug wristed one through traffic and made it 3-1 four minutes later when he put another wrist shot on net and it was redirected past the goalie by Jets defenceman Jacob Trouba. "He handled himself well. He played well. When hes on top of his game, offensively, he makes things happen," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "Just a few times its about him making safe plays. Thats a part of his game hes working on."t; Krug, who got a stick in the face on his final shift and had two cuts on his lip to show for it, said he was hoping that the first goal would have been tipped in by Justin Florek, who was making his NHL debut.dddddddddddd The second one was first credited to Carl Soderberg before it was changed to Krug. "Any time you cant contribute the way you were before, it can be frustrating," Krug said. Bruins defenceman Adam McQuaid said it was nice to see Krug contributing goals again. "The guys capable of doing it," he said. "It brings an element to our D corps that we need." Boston made it 4-1 when Reilly Smith cleaned up after Brad Marchands shot got past Pavelec. There were three fights in the game, with Zdeno Chara matching up against Chris Thorburn in the first period, followed 2 seconds later by Matt Fraser and James Wright. McQuaid fought with former Bruin Mark Stuart in the third period. "It was an opportunity for me to do something during the game early on, so I was trying to get into it," Thorburn said. "But any time you can get Chara off the ice too, a guy of his calibre, thats also a plus." Notes: The Bruins recalled Florek from Providence of the AHL on an emergency basis for the game. It was his NHL debut. ... It was Juliens 500th game as Bruins coach. He also coached the Montreal Canadiens and New Jersey Devils before coming to Boston in 2007. ... The U.S. womens Olympic hockey team attended the game and received a standing ovation and "U-S-A!" chant during the second period. ... The Atlanta/Winnipeg franchise has lost 12 straight in Boston.

Pinay's Real Life Drama on the High Seas | Pinay.com
In 2003, Rebecca Catedrilla, in her 40s, left the Philippine island of Mindanao to work abroad—not for greener pastures but to hide herself from the shame she brought to her family.
"I am not proud of what I did but I am proud of the lessons I learned," she said.
Back then, she decided to leave her parents and work abroad after they got mad at her. They found out that she was having an affair with a married man, a big slap for her pious family, especially for her father who is a trusted elder in their church.
Her Pinay's real life story is a life-changing journey, laden with anxiety, difficulty, courage and finally, redemption. She has since reunited with her family.
In her desire to run away from her past, she decided to tag along with other Filipinos to travel to Malaysia. They had an employment agency work out their travel details as well as where they would work.
It wasn't smooth sailing. Before the ship departed, she discovered that her papers were faked. The ship captain agreed to put her, along with the other illegal passengers, behind a close door at the bottom of the ship. Unfortunately, the Malaysian authorities heard that their ship was carrying undocumented passengers.
"We were told to jump off the vessel because the Malaysian authorities were coming, and if they discovered that we didn't have proper documents they might put us to jail or worst they might kill us," she said. "At that moment, I wish I didn't leave home."
She refused to follow the ship captain's instructions but she and her companions were thrown out to the sea anyway. The border guards saw them and opened fire. Rattled and nervous, Catedrilla swam for her life and moved away from the ship as fast as she could. She recalled playing dead when she heard a series of gunshots from the Malaysian authorities.
It was discouraging, the wind was cold and it was dark. But when she saw the stars, towering above her, "That's when I realized I should never give up," she said. "Good thing, I knew how to swim."
She paddled for hours until she noticed an island nearby. Tired, hungry and desperate, she gave all her strength to get near the shore.
A Malaysian couple found her the following day. Despite their language barrier, she was able to relay what happened to her. They let her stay at their house for days and helped her find a job as a household help to a known family in the village.
At first, things were working out until she noticed the family didn't allow her to go out. Catedrilla thought it was normal and they were just protecting her because she had no legal documents. "They locked me inside the house," she said, recalling eight years of working without pay.
Until one day she met a friend of her employer, Ms. Chin (not her real name). She asked her friend if Catedrilla could help clean her house. It was the break she needed. She believed God sent Ms. Chin, who worked for a government agency in Malaysia and later assisted her in reaching out to the Philippine Embassy, to help her.
Over time, Ms. Chin, who had a property in Brunei, brought Catedrilla with her to be her household help. She later allowed Catedrilla to go back home to the Philippines and confront her past and seek her parent's forgiveness.
"I know they are suffering too because they might think I am dead for I haven't contacted them for years," Catedrilla said. "I want to see my parents alive." She finally did and praised God for being there for her. "The emotional battle I experienced became the opening for God to come in," she said as she threw a glance at the table where all of her family and relatives gathered to celebrate her safe trip back home after eleven years abroad.
Catedrilla is preparing to go back to Brunei to fulfill her two-year contract. This time around she is not running away from anyone.

Budva Riviera
Budva Riviera © Tanovic
One of the European tourist scene's best-kept secrets is surely the Budva Riviera, a 22-mile (35km) strip of Adriatic coastline surrounding the town of Budva on Montenegro's west coast. For most people, Montenegro does not immediately spring to mind when considering ideal destinations for a beach holiday in Europe, but for those in the know, it provides the perfect setting for a holiday filled with sun and surf. The Budva Riviera is the heartbeat of Montenegro's tourism industry, attracting 300,000 visitors in 2010, only to rise as word gets out of its spectacular jagged coastline, which is home to bays, inlets, caves, small islands, and more than 20 beaches - not to mention a vibrant nightlife and plenty of sophisticated restaurants, cafes and bistros.
Tourists looking for a piece of sand to call their own will be spoilt for choice, but highlights include Jaz Beach, Mogren Beach, which gets the most sun, Milocer Beach, which is surrounded by woods filled with rare tree species, including Lebanese cedar, and Becici Beach, the most famous of Montenegro's beaches, and winner of the 1935 Grand Prix prize for most beautiful beach in Europe.
Address: Budva

This is the new Halloween hotness right here, kids! From the first time I so much as heard about Trick 'r Treat back in 2007 and saw the first couple of screenshots, I knew it was destined to become a Halloween favorite and I couldn't wait to see it. The problem is, for some reason or another that I still don't quite understand, the film was never released in theaters. After making the festival rounds and getting a lot of positive buzz from bloggers, Trick 'r Treat finally saw an eventual direct-to-DVD & Blu-ray release in 2009 just in time for Halloween. And let me tell you, it made my year.
Trick 'r Treat is a dark comedy/horror anthology film–that is, it's four different horror stories in one movie. Although it's a comedy/horror and not a straight-up horror film, it's plenty scary and downright gruesome. But I promise it isn't one of those schlocky gore-fests with no substance and terrible acting. It's a well-polished and beautifully-shot love letter to Halloween itself, telling four interrelated stories that play upon classic Halloween traditions and fearful urban legends like poisoned candy and costumed killers hiding in plain sight. The stories are interesting, the acting is great, and it's not so scary as to make you feel uncomfortable when it's over. (Of course, very few films are able to do that to me anymore.)
My favorite thing about it, though, which probably won't be surprising if you've been following along with this countdown, is how extremely Halloween-ish this movie looks. From beginning to end, the scenery bleeds Halloween. There are jack-o-lanterns and orange twinkle lights everywhere! I also love how all the stories are loosely connected and take place on a single Halloween night. It's all so very Stephen King's Cat's Eye, if you can remember that one.
If you've never heard of this movie and are judging it by these pictures, or if horror movies aren't really your thing, I'd urge you to give Trick 'r Treat a chance. Go ahead and look up the reviews if you must! The vast majority of them are nothing but positive, and I definitely agree with the sentiment that it's "a new Halloween classic." And oh that little Sam! So creepy-cute. So deadly. Seriously, guys, this movie is SO much fun. Go watch it.
Watch the Trailer
Rather than just post a single clip, I decided to go with the trailer so that you can soak up all the extreme Halloween-y goodness.
Spooky Screencaps
What is 31 DVDs of Halloween?
As a special feature for the Halloween Countdown, I'm showcasing 31 Halloween DVDs from my personal collection. I have a lot of Halloween-related and horror DVDs in general, but for this year's countdown I'm only going to focus on my absolute favorites–the ones I consider 100% essential for my enjoyment of the holiday.

The trade saga between the Cavaliers and Celtics has become more and more cloudy and complex as the clock is ticking for them to finalize the mega blockbuster deal that is set to send Kyrie Irving to the Celtics in exchange for Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic and Brooklyn's Unprotected 2018 1st Round Pick.
Because of complications and the reported severity of Thomas's hip injury, the Cavaliers are delaying the finalization of the blockbuster deal and threatening to void the trade with the Celtics if they don't sweeten the pot with the addition of Jayson Tatum or Jaylen Brown to compensate for acquiring an injured player in Thomas.
Story posting soon on ESPN: After Thomas physical, Cavs planning to seek further compensation before finalizing Irving trade to Boston.
— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) August 26, 2017
Thomas apparently does not require surgery on the hip, just rest and rehab time, something the Cavaliers are not too happy about considering they are attempting to compete for another title in what could be LeBron James's final year with the team.
The deadline for the deal to be finalized with the league office is Wednesday evening, unless the teams agree to delay the deadline which seems likely at the moment.
Here is a statement from Joe Vardon of Cleveland.com:
"A Cavs source said the two sides need to reach a conclusion by Wednesday evening or mutually agree to extend the deadline. Though the Cavs could void the trade based on Thomas' injury, sources still expect a deal to get done."
To me you can pretty easily simplify this whole situation. If Thomas is hurt badly enough that he will miss considerable time next season and there is a chance he won't be fully healthy or have his full flexibility or quickness the entire season if he does play then the Cavs need to void the deal and move on. If the injury is minor and he should be back at full health and ability by training camp or the first month of the season, the Celtics should take a hard stance and say take it or leave it with the offer that was agreed to last week.
The Cavs shouldn't acquire a seriously injured centerpiece in a deal for a 25-year-old superstar and the Celtics shouldn't cave and give up even more assets if Thomas's injury is relatively minor.
Let's see who wins this staring contest or if a deal ultimately falls through, I think it gets done as is.

10 stories of people having supernatural experiences after dying and then coming back to life.
A Sanskrit word meaning a sacred word or phrase having spiritual power or special significance. According to Šaktism (see HINDUISM), a Mantra liberates one who meditates on its significance. Mantras fall into two classes: kan˜ika which are those spoken aloud and ajāpa which are repeated soundlessly in the mind.
Mantras form a part of the ritual of the VEDAS (karmakānda) where they are classified according to their meters, gāyatrī having twenty-four syllables. Following the Vedic period in India, mantras assumed considerable importance in many religious movements such as the Tantric.
In Tibet, MAHĀYĀNA Buddhism features the mantra in its ritual and what is known as "The Great Mantra," Om mani padme hum, or "The Jewel in the Lotus," is in frequent use. A detailed exposition on the deeper significance of mantras may be found in Tantra in Tibet, by Tsong-ka-pa (1357-1419). The secrecy surrounding the teaching of certain mantras is justified by Tsong-ka-pa on the ground that use by those of impure motivation would harm themselves and others. This point of view raises questions, of course. In what way does harm occur? What kind of harm? How serious would such harm be? The purpose of mantra in Tantric practice is stated to be, "Pride in oneself as a deity and the vivid appearance of that deity." If the deity can be invoked, it is reasonable to assume that other less benign entities or influences might be invoked by the inexpert use of a mantra — at least in the mind of believers. It is worth noting that Tsong-ka-pa offers a different definition of the word "mantra" from that commonly accepted and given at the beginning of this article. He defined mantra as "mind-protection" and states that the mantra protects the mind from ordinary appearances and conceptions. "Mind" is defined as all six consciousnesses: eye, ear, nose, tongue, body and mental consciousnesses — which are to be freed or protected from the ordinary world.
A discussion of mantra would not be complete without reference to the significance of vibration. The Esoteric Philosophy maintains that the various "levels" of being in nature are not self-contained or isolated from each other, but are to some extent interdependent. Thus the physical world is in close connection with the so-called "Astral" world and so on. What occurs in one world may have an effect on another. Thus vibration of an object at the physical level may cause sympathetic vibration or effects at other "Planes of Being." Whether this is an actual energy transfer is not clear, but the medieval belief in spells and incantations was probably based on some such supposition. The emphasis on the correct method of sounding a mantra seems to indicate that it is the vibration sequence or variation that is of prime importance rather than the meaning of the words. Then again it is important to consider the effect on the individual sounding the mantra. There are many natural frequencies occurring in the human body; there is a standing wave pattern in the aorta for instance. Direct or harmonic reinforcement or diminishment of naturally occurring vibrations in the body may be caused by vocal effects. Giuseppe Tucci in his The Theory and Practice of Mandala (Rider & Co., 1969), puts the point of view that a mystical syllable may be the secret essence or "seed" of the Divinity and that these are so closely bound up in each other that concentration on the syllable can result in the Divinity being called into one's mind; however, it is necessary to meditate on and visualize the syllable for a long time for the effect to occur. Tucci states that cosmic evolution and its reabsorption in the primordial matrix are reproduced according to a precise and subtle alphabetic scheme, which, in its combinations, reflects the weaving of the universal becoming, determining its various phases. Tucci explains further that these "seeds" which apparently have no meaning, represent in the symbol of sound the affinity or relationship between the various planes and thus image the play of cosmic forces.
Helena P. Blavatsky mentions mantras quite often in her writings. She defined a mantra as a collection of words which, when sounded in speech, induce certain vibrations not only in the air, but also in the finer ether, thereby producing certain effects. Blavatsky does, however, emphasize that ideas generated in the mind by association of ideas with the meaning of certain words can be significant (CW IX:118).
In Christian worship we find frequent use of the mantra; examples are "Amen" and "Hallelujah."

'Fallout 4' Mods We Want to See on Consoles
Fallout 4 has been with us for a few months now; permitting players to try post-apocalyptic Boston to their pinnacle content. Since a games recover behind in November, a modding village has been operative diligently to emanate fixes and additions to a diversion on PC notwithstanding lacking a central mod growth pack — and they've come adult with some good stuff, permitted usually to those personification Fallout 4 on PC.
But that's about to change.
Originally announced behind in Microsoft's E3 2015 press conference, a preference to supplement mod support for Fallout 4 on consoles is something that many during Bethesda have been wanting to do for years — and something that console owners have been looking brazen to as well. Not usually did Bethesda guarantee to give console owners entrance to a hundreds of mods permitted on PC, though they pronounced they'd do so in an simply permitted way.
While we still don't have any specific sum as to how they devise to do that, a protected to contend that some-more sum and an central recover are on a horizon. With 2016 comes a recover of a central modding toolkit, that means mods on a Xbox One substantially aren't distant behind.
Certainly, there are copiousness of good mods permitted — though here's a few we during Inverse wish to see make a entrance on Xbox One when console mods arrive after this year.
Full Dialogue Interface by Cirosan and Shadwar
Dialogue has always been a outrageous partial of a Fallout universe, permitting gamers to play their impression a specific way, either it be good, immorality or a brew of both. We've always played as a wordless protagonist, though Fallout 4 directed to change that by introducing a fully-voiced masculine and womanlike protagonist — usually thing is, they seemed to skip a bit on a dialogue. Previously we had whole lines of dialogue, while in Fallout 4 we usually get summaries, that don't accurately paint a lines of discourse dark behind them. That's where Full Dialogue Interface comes in. This mod offers a accumulation of configurations that showcase whole responses, that concede we to skip a paraphrased nonsense from a bottom diversion and collect responses as they are oral by your character.
Craftable Ammo by Kr1ck
Crafting is one of a biggest systems behind Fallout 4, permitting we to emanate hundreds of modifications to your weapons and armor, as good as providing we with an entrance to qualification explosives and medicine. However, it doesn't give we a ability to qualification ammunition, a outrageous partial of a prior installment, Fallout New Vegas. Craftable Ammo aims to repair that by providing players with a ability to qualification ammunition for any arms in a game. The mod thatch some of these ammunition forms behind perk mandate for change and provides we with a few opposite variations to use too, creation it accessible for any form of playthrough.
Stackable Concrete Foundations by DDProductions83
Stackable Concrete Foundations is a elementary and to-the-point mod that creates allotment building in Fallout 4 a small bit easier. In a bottom game, we can't smoke-stack foundations on tip of any other when building houses and structures — that leads to copiousness of frustration. This elementary tweak allows we to do so to your hearts content.
Better Settlers
It's no tip that those who live your settlements in Fallout 4 aren't sundry and need a lot of babysitting. Better Settlers aims to change that by providing a most some-more sundry expel of settlers to live your communities. It also creates your settlers worse by spawning them with improved weapons and rigging on occasion, giving them a most improved possibility of flourishing attacks on a allotment but your intervention.
Homemaker by NovaCoru
If you've been building adult settlements in Fallout 4, contingency are you've tired all of your options – and Homemaker is operative to change that. Homemaker is another allotment mod that expands your building options by adding over 800 new objects to craft. These objects operation from refrigerators to cars and embody a accumulation of new building sets to play with like those from a Institute and Raiders. You'll also be means to smoke-stack walls, snap building equipment together easier and place planters for all of your crops.

Ashley and I's number is "17." She would dare to do the unspeakable. It's funny because she had told me to go to this station… now called "Iheartradio," saying that she "loved" Shinedown, and I shit you not, I go to it, 5 years later and SHINEDOWN is on the front page…
It's eerie. Anyway, this isn't the original video that I saw, but one similar… the original was live in New York on November 17th, 2005. And right when he says his first "I Dare You," I think of Ashley completely.
He has truly admirable qualities… a good head on his shoulder's, passion, conviction, sincerity, loyalty. When he says "Call me a liar," you cannot dispute his authenticity. He knows the truth and it's irrefutable.
I feel like I should give my very worst fear a voice. I feel like I should say, right now, "I'm afraid she's going to call me up and tell me that she's marrying someone." Another part of me doesn't want to write that on this page and put it "out" there.
I feel like I am missing out on her life right now… so many things… her grandmother – is she still alive? How's Wesley? etc.
Yet another part of me trusts that things will turn out the way that they should. You know, it sucks when you know things that other people don't… yet you have to remain silent. I know some things are better of kept a secret. I also don't want to, and won't, die pretending I don't care. I cannot, for the life of me, be someone that I am not.
There exists an unspeakable, undeniable truth.
Conviction of purpose.

Buyout Firms Hike Junior Pay
Private equity pay for European junior executives has risen significantly in the past year as the industry scrambles to compete with 20% year-over-year increases for associates in the banking sector.
The big private equity firms awarded their most junior staff the greatest year-over-year pay rises this compensation cycle, according to search firm Kea Consultants. Kea defined the compensation cycle as the period between November and February.
