IDG's New Pipeline Activator Aims to Get Sales Timing Right
Mar 13, 2017 2:05 PM PT
IDG last week introduced Pipeline Activator, a global subscription-based service pinpointing verified projects and active sales prospects for those selling to enterprise IT.
Pipeline Activator, the latest addition to IDG's ABM360 suite of account-based marketing services, provides sales and marketing teams with detailed insights on target companies actively researching products and services for purchase.
IDG identifies and validates nearly 250,000 active projects a year across companies worldwide. It collects data from digital content interactions, demand generation and events.
The company has more than 700,000 line of business and IT decision makers from the Forbes Global 2000 in its database.
"I treat Pipeline Activator as an ongoing stream of relevant and recent data signals," said Ray Wang, principal analyst at Constellation Research.
Stay on Target
Pipeline Activator, which is available in the United States, Europe, the Asia-Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa, identifies active, verified projects at both the regional and individual country level.
Subscribers get a global view of IT project activity and buying intent for their target lists at the account level, along with data such as the targets' budgets and IT priorities, and exclusive verbatim interviews with buying decision makers.
For example, a cloud solution provider can use Pipeline Activator to identify sales prospects and track their intent to purchase, so it can target sales and marketing activity more effectively at the best time to increase the chance of closing a sale.
Clients either supply their account list and topic area or select their targeted technology initiative -- IT management, for example -- and target audience, such as a company with 1K employees and planned converged infrastructure projects.
Pipeline Activator has marketing automation integration with Marketo, itself an account-based marketing vendor, Salesforce and Eloqua, a marketing automation platform owned by Oracle.
The Importance of Data
"The disintermediation of the sales person and the move toward subscription purchases and renewals instead of large one-off tech contracts have challenged even the most effective traditional sales teams to build and maintain profitable relationships with their prospects and clients," observed Rebecca Wettemann, VP of research at Nucleus Research.
"When we talk about the death of the sales funnel," she told CRM Buyer, "two key approaches to sales effectiveness are data delivery, in a meaningful and proactive way, and automation that enables sales teams to remain top of mind with prospects even when they're not in a buying cycle."
Pipeline Activator's effectiveness in large part will depend on data quality.
"The pipeline is only as good as the list that IDG curates," Constellation's Wang told CRM Buyer.
Pipeline Activator "is a new service," he noted. "What folks are trying to figure out is how much software and how much custom services this will require."
ABM Strategy
Data is key, and "there's a lot of work still required to make this work," Wang said. IDG has "a great list, [but] the next level of finding possible engaged prospects will come from intelligence. This is why it's important to apply an ABM strategy."
Competition in the ABM field is fierce, with "Oracle, Microsoft, Salesforce and others bringing more data and insights into the mix," Nucleus' Wettemann observed. "We'll continue to see vendors and aggregators coming into this space.
"In an increasingly transparent tech economy, these providers will live and die by their ability to actually deliver results and revenues to their clients, because the world will quickly know about it," she added.
ABM Needs Support
Pipeline Activator users can identify and act on companies with the greatest potential from within the leading CRM applications, according to IDG.
"You need marketing automation to make it happen and CRM to provide interaction history," Constellation's Wang pointed out.
B2B companies increasingly have been implementing ABM programs, suggests a SiriusDecisions report released last year.
More than 70 percent of the more than 200 B2B companies surveyed said they had staff fully or partially dedicated to ABM.
Forty-one percent of the participating companies had a full program in place, and 58 percent were running a pilot or test program.

Compliance Management
The model for reducing the levels of risk is essentially the same for all sizes and types of vehicle fleet.
Firstly, we audit and analyse the risks associated with your fleet, and using this information, we help eliminate risk factors, substitute them with a lower risk alternative, or manage the risk to reduce it to an acceptable level.
Where necessary we can also implement a driver training programme based around driver behaviour and findings of the risk analysis.
1. Review policy and audit fleet-related risks
2. Conduct Health & Safety questionnaires and risk assessments
3. Analyse telematics driver behaviour data
4. Target drivers with e.learning modules specific to areas requiring improvement
5. Reanalysis driver behaviour
6. Consideration of in-vehicle driver training
7. Maintain, monitor and review changes to achieve sustainable improvement
Working closely with our compliance partner Applied Driving Techniques (ADT) we deliver a solution that establishes a fleet safety culture across your business. It combines real-time driver behaviour data with a wide range of other data sources to better understand the risks facing your fleet and implement an effective risk reduction process.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has waded into the heated debate over the possible inclusion of Ottoman language classes in the high school curriculum, vowing that the classes will be introduced "no matter what they say."
"There are those who don't want Ottoman [language] to be learned and taught. This is a very big danger," Erdoğan said on Dec. 8, delivering a speech at "5th Religion Council" hosted by the Directorate General of Religious Affairs (Diyanet) in Ankara.
"Whether they want it or not, Ottoman [language] will be learned and taught in this country," he pledged.
According to decisions taken by Turkey's National Education Council, which closed its annual meeting over the weekend, Ottoman language classes will be compulsory for imam-hatip religious vocational high schools and elective for other high schools.
The ruling Justice and Development Party's (AKP) apparent enthusiasm for the Ottoman language courses has been widely interpreted as a further sign of its wish to impose its particular interpretation of history and values in Turkey's education system.
"There are those who are uneasy with this country's children learning Ottoman. But it is actually nothing stranger than 'ageless Turkish.' With it, we will learn realities. They say, 'Will we teach children how to read gravestones?' But a history and a civilization is lying on those gravestones," Erdoğan said.
The president also suggested that pressure on freedom of expression in this country "actually dates back to two centuries ago."
"Since the Tanzimat up until today, for around last 200 years, certain issues could not be discussed freely, with self-confidence and courage," Erdoğan said, referring to the Tanzimat reform era in the Ottoman Empire in the 19th century. "Let alone freely discussing matters of religion; religion and pious people were systematically subjected to all kinds of criticism, insult and abuse."
Later in the day, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu accused the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) of "acting with enmity toward their own history," while also describing the debates over the Ottoman language courses as simply "a storm in a teacup."
"The student who wants to choose [the Ottoman language class] can do so. The student who doesn't want to, doesn't choose it. This is the proposal. What is this allergy for history? What is this enmity for culture? It is not possible to understand," Davutoğlu said.
In response, the CHP said Erdoğan did not have a problem only with the Republic or the principle of secularism, but rather a problem with the transformation that began in the 1800s in the Ottoman era.
"You will on the one hand speak about science and technology, while on the other hand you will make irrelevant 18th and 19th century decisions. Even the Ottomans would not make these decisions," CHP Deputy Parliamentary Group Chair Akif Hamzaçebi said at a press conference later on Dec. 8.
"The transformation that the Ottoman [Empire] carried out from the beginning of the 1800s is a transformation that he [Erdoğan] could not accept," Hamzaçebi added."

"Hamas leader Mashaal endorses Turkish leaders in surprise speech
Khaled Mashaal, the head of Hamas' political bureau, has made a surprise appearance at an event of Turkey's ruling party, endorsing the Turkish leaders and voicing his hope to "liberate Palestine and Jerusalem" together with them in the future.
"A strong Turkey means a strong Palestine ... Inshallah, God is with us and with you on the road to victory," Mashaal said in his address to the Justice and Development Party's (AKP) annual congress in the Konya province on Dec. 27..."
Now that Hamas is watching how Qatar is moved to full co-operation with SA and Egypt, while Hamas leaders in Gaza prase Egypt and A-Sisi (hoping he will somehow forget that they are "Muslim Brotherhood") - Mashal is looking for a new sponsor - And who is better that the Sultan..

Erdogan slams Netanyahu for attending Paris rally
Turkish president says Israeli prime minister must first answer for Gaza crimes, accuses Europeans of hypocrisy over anti-Muslim attacks.
Speaking alongside visiting Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Erdogan attacked the Israeli leader's conduct and policies. "How can a man who has killed 25,000 people in Gaza with state terrorism wave his hand in Paris, like people are waiting in excitement for him to do so? How dare he go there?"
"You should first give an account for the children and the women you have killed," added Erdogan, who has been an outspoken critic of Israeli offensives against Hamas in the Strip, despite close commercial ties between Israel and Turkey.
Erdogan, who did not attend the Sunday march, accused the West on Monday of hypocrisy for its stance over the attacks, though Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu did participate in the rally.
"The West's hypocrisy is obvious. As Muslims, we've never taken part in terrorist massacres. Behind these lie racism, hate speech and Islamophobia," Erdogan said. "Please, the administrations in those countries where our mosques are attacked need to take measures.

Turkish military says MIT shipped weapons to al-Qaeda
Secret official documents about the searching of three trucks belonging to Turkey's national
intelligence service (MIT) have been leaked online, once again corroborating suspicions that
Ankara has not been playing a clean game in Syria. According to the authenticated documents,
the trucks were found to be transporting missiles, mortars and anti-aircraft ammunition. The
Gendarmerie General Command, which authored the reports, alleged, "The trucks were carrying
weapons and supplies to the al-Qaeda terror organization. But Turkish readers could not see the
documents in the news bulletins and newspapers that shared them, because the government
immediately obtained a court injunction banning all reporting about the affair.
When President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was prime minister, he had said, You cannot stop the MIT
truck . You cannot search it. You dont have the authority. These trucks were taking humanitarian
assistance to Turkmens.
Since then, Erdogan and his hand-picked new Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu have repeated at
every opportunity that the trucks were carrying assistance to Turkmens. Public prosecutor Aziz
Takci, who had ordered the trucks to be searched, was removed from his post and 13 soldiers
involved in the search were taken to court on charges of espionage. Their indictments call for
prison terms of up to 20 years.
In scores of documents leaked by a group of hackers, the Gendarmerie Command notes that
rocket warheads were found in the trucks' cargo.
According to the documents that circulated on the Internet before the ban came into effect, this
was the summary of the incident:
On Jan. 19, 2014, after receiving a tip that three trucks were carrying weapons and explosives
to al-Qaeda in Syria, the Adana Provincial Gendarmerie Command obtained search warrants.
The Adana prosecutor called for the search and seizure of all evidence.
Security forces stopped the trucks at the Ceyhan toll gates, where MIT personnel tried to
prevent the search.
While the trucks were being escorted to Seyhan Gendarmerie Command for an extensive
search, MIT personnel accompanying the trucks in an Audi vehicle blocked the road to stop
the trucks. When MIT personnel seized the keys from the trucks' ignitions, an altercation
ensued. MIT personnel instructed the truck drivers to pretend their trucks had malfunctioned
and committed physical violence against gendarmerie personnel.
The search was carried out and videotaped despite the efforts of the governor and MIT
personnel to prevent it.
Six metallic containers were found in the three trucks. In the first container, 25-30 missiles or
rockets and 10-15 crates loaded with ammunition were found. In the second container, 20-25
missiles or rockets, 20-25 crates of mortar ammunition and Douchka anti-aircraft ammunition
in five or six sacks were discovered. The boxes had markings in the Cyrillic alphabet.
It was noted that the MIT personnel swore at the prosecutor and denigrated the gendarmerie
soldiers doing the search, saying, "Look at those idiots. They are looking for ammunition with
picks and shovels. Let someone who knows do it. Trucks are full of bombs that might
The governor of Adana, Huseyin Avni Cos, arrived at the scene and declared, The trucks are
moving with the prime ministers orders and vowed not to let them be interfered with no
matter what.
With a letter of guarantee sent by the regional director of MIT, co-signed by the governor, the
trucks were handed back to MIT.
Driver Murat Kislakci said in his deposition, This cargo was loaded into our trucks from a
foreign airplane at Ankara Esenboga Airport. We are taking them to Reyhanli [on the Syrian
border]. Two men [MIT personnel] in the Audi are accompanying us. At Reyhanli, we hand
over the trucks to two people in the Audi. They check us into a hotel. The trucks move to
cross the border. We carried similar loads several times before. We were working for the
state. In Ankara, we were leaving our trucks at an MIT location. They used to tell us to come
back at 7 a.m. I know the cargo belongs to MIT. We were at ease; this was an affair of state.
This was the first time we collected cargo from the airport and for the first time we were
allowed to stand by our trucks during the loading."
After accusations of espionage by the government and pro-government media, the chief of
general staff ordered the military prosecutor to investigate,. On July 21, the military
prosecutor declared the operation was not espionage. The same prosecutor said this incident
was a military affair and should be investigated not by the public prosecutor, but the military.
The civilian court did not retract its decision.
The government cover-up
Though the scandal is tearing the country apart, the government opted for its favorite tactic of
covering it up. A court in Adana banned written, visual and Internet media outlets from any
reporting and commenting on the stopping of the trucks and the search. All online content about
the incident has been deleted.
The court case against the 13 gendarmerie elements accused of espionage has also been
controversial. The public prosecutor, who in his indictment said the accused were involved in a
plot to have Turkey tried at the International Criminal Court, veered off course. Without citing any
evidence, the indictment charged that there was collusion between the Syrian government, al-
Qaeda and the Islamic State (IS). The prosecutor deviated from the case at hand and charged
that the killing by IS of three people at Nigde last year was actually carried out by the Syrian
At the moment, a total blackout prevails over revelations, which are bound to have serious
international repercussions.

Of course this has to be taken with a grain of salt, as the turkish army dislikes Erdogan.

Once upon a time I was a vegetarian. Then I married a carnivorous man and for the sake of our marriage, I started eating more meat. These days I no longer fill up on tofu or veggie burgers rounded off by a tall glass of soy milk. However, I still continue to serve vegetarian meals two to three times a week.
During Lent even the most meat-loving Catholic families join me in serving up meatless meals as part of following the laws of abstinence. While it might be tempting for the family chef to prepare old standbys like cheese pizza or greasy fish and chips, I've found that Lent is the perfect time to get your family to try out new vegetarian recipes.
Curtailing your meat consumption not only stretches you food dollar, but it helps broaden your family's culinary horizons by introducing them to new flavors and foods. What's more, plant based diets are rich in fiber and have been shown to reduce the risk for obesity, some types of cancers, and may help lower high blood pressure.
So why not consider making meatless dishes a regular part of your meal repertoire rather than just something you just do during Lent? Six tips to help your family veg out:
Make beans a pantry staple.
Remember the saying, "Cool beans"? Well, it's time to start believing in these little guys. "Beans are nutritionally power-packed, and they're not too hard on the budget," says Katie Kimball, founder of Kitchen Stewardship. "They're also very versatile. You can eat them cold in salads or in Mexican or Italian dishes."
There are many different types of beans: black beans, lentils, chickpeas, pinto beans, and split peas, so get creative with your recipes. My girls love homemade hummus. Put a can of drained chickpeas (or garbanzo) beans in a food processor or blender. Add one crushed garlic clove, about two tablespoons of Tahini (found in the ethnic food aisle of your grocery store), a dash of paprika, and about 1/8 cup of water. Pulse until almost smooth. Then slowly add extra virgin olive oil in until the mixture is completely smooth. Add more water if the hummus seems too thick. Season with salt. Serve with whole wheat pita slices and crudites (I call my raw veggies this because the girls think they're eating something really fancy).
During Lent Katie prepares a hearty lentil stew for her family. "This is what we have for Ash Wednesday and then freeze the rest for Good Friday. It's very simple and feels penitential."
Another one crowd pleaser for even for bean-aphobes is her recipe for veggie bean burritos. "Everyone loves this," she says.
Give tofu a chance.
I'm one of those food freaks who actually really likes tofu. My husband and girls are not. But that doesn't stop this tofu-lovin' girl. I've discovered sneaky ways to add tofu into our meatless meals for an extra protein boost. I often add silken tofu into smoothies, and no one notices (I promise). Try this tropical smoothie with the avocado-corn salad
Since tofu doesn't have much taste and absorbs other flavors, you can also use it to thicken soups. Or crumble firm tofu and then mix it with ricotta fillings for Italian dishes.
Go fish!
If offering your family tofu dogs won't go over well, don't despair. Fish is another great way to get more bang for your nutritional buck (think canned tuna!). Although fresh fish can be on the pricey side, a growing body of research shows that eating just one to two servings of fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids each week could reduce your risk of dying from a heart attack by a third or more. Salmon, herring, and tuna are all good bets because of their high levels of omega-3.
While some people worry about mercury in fish, scientists believe this risk is generally outweighed by the health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids.
"If you're concerned about mercury, pay attention to the types of fish you eat and limit your consumption to twice a week. Salmon is typically low in mercury, while large fish such as shark, tilefish, swordfish and king mackerel tend to have higher levels of mercury," says John Thornton, MD, a cardiologist with the MCG Health Cardiovascular Center.
According to Dr. Thornton, certain groups should take extra care, including pregnant women, nursing mothers, and children under 12. To be safe, limit the amount and type of fish they eat to:
• No more than 12 ounces of fish a week
• No more than six ounces of canned tuna a week
• No amount of fish that's typically high in mercury (shark, swordfish, king mackerel and tilefish)

Eat more eggs.
The humble egg has gotten a bad rap in our fat-fearing society. "There's so much nutrition trapped inside that tiny shell," Katie says. "God created whole foods and man takes them apart. Put them back together. Forget the egg white omelets. You gotta have the yolks." In fact, the yolk is a nutritional powerhouse, bursting with fat-soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids.
Do yourself and your family a favor and eat eggs - yolks and all - more often than just at Sunday brunch. Like beans, they're very versatile. Try a quiche or frittata. Scramble them up with veggies and a dollop of salsa. Katie's fave "eggs for dinner recipe" is eggs en cotte.
Buy a vegetarian-friendly cookbook.
Some of my favorites: The Grit Cookbook, any The Moosewood Restaurant Cookbook, How to Cook Everything Vegetarian.
The American Dietetic Association is a good resource for recipe ideas and anyone wishing to explore vegetarianism.
Take baby steps.
Not ready to introduce regular vegetarian meals to your meal plan? Then just start small. "Try reducing the ground beef by three-fourths to one-half pound in a favorite casserole dish, and see if anyone misses it," says Katie. "This is one baby step to reduce your meat consumption and cut your budget."
You don't have to go green at every meal. Even if you just continue keeping Friday dinners meatless, you'll reap some benefits. "Most of us would benefit from eating less meat and filling up on more vegetables and fiber-rich foods," Katie says.

In previous blogs, we've told you about how tending to our trees, parks, and green spaces can improve our health and even our property values. But did you know that trees also act as engines of economic growth? Jobs are a critical component of any healthy community, and trees can play a critical role in creating those jobs. In other words, trees are at the root of any strong, vibrant community.
With so many people still struggling to get on their feet, the role that trees can play in supporting the creation of jobs is more important and valuable than ever. You might even say that money really does grow on trees, if we consider that green industries are responsible for two million jobs nationally—and 240,000 in California alone.
The "green industry," or horticultural industry, includes tree-related positions of varying skill levels including arborists, nursery and sod growers, landscape architects, designers and builders, contractors and maintenance firms, retail garden centers, home centers and mass merchandisers with lawn and garden departments, and marketing intermediaries such as brokers and horticultural distribution centers (re-wholesalers). According to the Economic Impacts of the Green Industry in the United States report, this industry is one of the fastest growing sectors of the economy. It's so robust, in fact, that it often experiences expansion even during recessionary periods.
Young adults are some of the hardest hit Americans when it comes to the recession. Trees and other greenery can provide a crucial launching pad for teens, starting them on a path to becoming productive members of our economy. For 20 years, the Urban Corps of San Diego County has done just that.
The Corps provides environmental job training and educational opportunities in the fields of conservation, including urban forestry, to young adults. Corps members go to school to earn a high school diploma one day per week and work in the community on environmental projects, such as planting free trees, four days per week. In its two decades, Urban Corps has helped more than 6,500 young adults.
Trees are also indirectly responsible for the thousands of other jobs required to make the many products that come in some way from trees. Did you ever wonder who makes your pencils or chewing gum? Trees help keep them working. And don't forget about the fruit and nuts industry—from apples and pears to almonds and hazelnuts, it creates $18 billion in business.
In total, according to 2004 data, sales from green industries amounted to $147 billion—$28 billion of which was contributed by our western region of the United States. Between the thousands of jobs and billions of sales that trees help create, there's no denying that trees are a valuable investment. The bottom line: as the trees grow, so grows our economy!
Did this post leave you wanting to work in the green industry yourself? Check out this list of 50 tree-related careers.

Der Spiegel reports that Europe's financial crisis is sparking intergenerational tensions. Discrepancies in wealth between age groups are causing younger Europeans to move away from politicized debates which blame economic troubles on class divisions, banks versus the people, and regional differences:
[T]he euro crisis is also a conflict between generations -- the flush baby boomers in their fifties and sixties are today living prosperously at the expense of young people.
Intergenerational equity -- measured among other things by levels of direct and hidden debts and pension entitlements -- is particularly low in Southern Europe. In a 2011 study of intergenerational equity in 31 countries by the Bertelsmann Foundation, Greece came in last place. Italy, Portugal and Spain didn't do much better, landing in 28th, 24th and 22nd place respectively. Currently, the unequal distribution of income and opportunities is particularly distinct:
■The employment market collapse has hit young Europeans much harder than older generations. In Greece and Spain more than half of those under age 25 are unemployed -- twice the rate of older workers. Things are even worse in parts of southern Italy, where youth unemployment has risen above 50 percent.■One reason for this situation is unequal employment circumstances. Older Spaniards and Italians, for example, profit from worker protection laws preventing them from getting fired that are quite strong by international comparison. But almost half of young Italians and 60 percent of young Spaniards are on temporary employment contracts and can easily lose their jobs.■The burdens and risks of the euro bailouts are also mainly borne by young people. Ultimately, growing national debts and bailout funds worth billions will be financed through bonds that won't be due for many years to come.
... Bankers and politicians aren't the only ones responsible for the crisis, either. Many from the older generations were accomplices in the faltering system. Almost every family in Greece had a member who profited from the bloated state apparatus as a civil servant. Baby boomers in Spain took on mortgages en masse, pushing their country into the debt crisis. And in Italy, politicians like Silvio Berlusconi were re-elected repeatedly because their tricks were apparently met with great sympathy -- pensioners have been among the former prime minister's most important constituencies.
So why aren't more young people getting outraged? There are signs that they may be starting to focus on the issue. In an article penned for the German daily Die Tageszeitung, Italian writer Leonardo Palmisano wrote that the debate over job protection in his home country was "less about class than about age." On the one side of the issue are the precariously employed young people, and on the other side the baby boomers with permanent contracts and secure pensions. The "C/S", or "Cinquanta/Sessantenni," people in their fifties and sixties, are the "protagonists of the Berlusconi regime," he writes, holding "an excess of power in their hands, without having the necessary skills to lead the country out of the crisis."
Of course, not all southern European seniors are little Berlusconis. Many older people are suffering under the impact of austerity measures too. Nevertheless, in order to get honest answers about the crisis, it is important to pose questions about the responsibility older generations bear for the downturn. ...
The unsolved generational conflict in the south provides a foretaste of what could await Germany in the future, too. It was only a few years ago that the then "grand coalition," a government comprised of Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservative Christian Democratic Union and the center-left Social Democratic Party, pushed through a "pension guarantee" that prevents cuts to benefits for the elderly even if wages sink for young workers. Behind this decision was the fear there would be a backlash among outraged pensioners in the next election, but the additional costs will total some €18 billion ($22 billion), according to a study conducted by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, a prominent German think tank.
Meanwhile, income distribution between generations in Germany threatens to soon become a "new social issue," warns a recent analysis in a journal published by the Munich-based Ifo economic institute. The disparity between what young and old people earn must shrink, it says. "Otherwise the conflict potential will increase."
Widespread Wealth Disparity
This gap is growing outside the euro zone, too. In the United States, household assets for those over 65 have increased by some 42 percent since 1984, according to the Pew Research Center. But those younger than 35 own 68 percent less than their peers did during the mid-1980s.
In the United Kingdom -- where youth riots last year shocked the world -- conservative politician David Willets published a book called, The Pinch: How the Baby Boomers Took Their Children's Future -- And How They Can Give it Back in 2010. Willets writes that the next generation will have to work harder to pay off their debts, making future generations the real losers of the current financial crisis.
But just because someone writes about youth problems doesn't make him one of their allies. Willets named university tuition as one factor behind the disappearing wealth of young Brits. However, shortly after his book was published he became Minister of the State for Universities and Science in the Cameron administration and had no problem tripling university tuition. Willets, incidentally, is 56 years old.

Exploring the Coast Near Porto
Taking a Break From City Sightseeing in Porto
Escape to the Coast Near Porto
One of the great advantages of a stay in Porto, especially during the warmer months, is that it offers the opportunity to take time out from city sightseeing to explore the nearby Atlantic coastline. Our Holiday Inn Express Exponor location in Leca da Palmeira, to the northwest of Porto, left us within walking distance of two good stretches of coastline.
Praia de Leca da Palmeira is to the north and Praia da Matosinhos heads south to Foz and the mouth of the River Douro. During our stay near Porto, we had time to explore both.
Going North
Praia de Leca da Palmeira
We walked to the west, towards the sea, along Avenida Antunes Guimares. After passing the port of Leixoes and rounding the corner to the north, past the marina, we came upon Praia de Leca da Palmeira. This sandy stretch of beach is bordered to the south by the harbor wall and has a conveniently located beach bar. This is the widest stretch of sand, but it is often windy here and the sea can be rough. This is probably one of the reasons for the construction of the Piscina das Mares, the open-air saltwater swimming pool 850 meters further north along the coast. Another reason is the tendency of the sand to give way to a rockier coastline heading north.
As we walked north, the path followed the coastline and we were soon joined by Avenida Liberdade with two separate carriageways. Although this was a wide road, it was never especially busy, bordered on the one side by the coastal path and, on the other by a row of eating places and shops.
Piscina das Mares, Leca da Palmeira
The most striking point of interest on this stretch of coastline is the Piscina das Mares (swimming pool of the seas), which was completed in 1966 and designed by Álvaro Siza Vieira, a Portuguese architect. Since 2006, this has been classified as a national monument. The complex consists of two pools, one shallow and unusually shaped and another deeper one of a more traditional rectangular shape.
Access to several architectural sites, such as these pools and the cruise terminal in Matosinhos, was free the first week of July and we joined a tour. Ours was in Portuguese, so we didn't learn a lot, but it was worth it for a free look inside. Changing facilities are functional but basic. If you are looking for a similar standard to your leisure club at home, you won't find it here. We considered paying to stay for a swim, but decided against it, as it was a blustery day, the water was on the cool side and by the time we got there more than half the morning session had passed.
There is a small amount of beach within the complex and sunbeds are available for hire. There is very limited shade.
Tip: Look out for information and posters in tourist information offices about days of free admission to local sites.
Admission to Piscina das Mares
Tickets are sold by the day (09:00-19:00) or the half-day (09:00-14:00 and 14:00-19:00). Prices vary depending on when you go. On weekdays and non-holiday days, adult admission is 25% cheaper per day or 20% cheaper per half-day than at weekends and in the holidays. Under 12s are a little cheaper. For the regular swimmers, books of 10 tickets can be bought, saving around 10%. If you just want to take an unguided look around without swimming, there is a small nominal charge per person.
Tip: If you are planning a day or half-day at the pools check out the forecast and get there early, especially in the height of the summer season
Please Note
Piscina das Mares is closed until summer 2020 for refurbishment.
Heading North Along the Coast Near Porto
We appreciated the pleasant break from city sightseeing afforded by our walk north along the rocky coastline. Avenida Liberdade is well set back from the coastal walkway and not very busy. There are well maintained grassy areas, which further separate the coastal path from the road. The inland side of the road is built up with modern apartment blocks, a few restaurants, and shops.
The apartment blocks served a useful purpose in shielding us from the sight of the nearby oil refinery, which came into view as we came out of the built-up area and reached the lighthouse, a kilometer further north from the swimming pool. Set back slightly from the coast, the lighthouse is 46m (150ft) high and dates back to 1926 when it was built to protect ships from overrunning the entrance to the port and ending up on the rocks.
Capela da Boa Nova, which translates as 'the chapel of the good news' is located 300 meters beyond the lighthouse on a rocky outcrop between Praia da Boa Nova to the south and Praia Azul to the north. The chapel dates from 1392 and is formally called Capela de S. Clemente das Penhas, which translates as Saint Clemente of the Rocks.
Time to Turn Around on the Coast Walk North of Porto
Once we reached the Capela da Boa Nova we decided to retrace our steps, choosing the shade offered by the built-up side of the road. My disappointment at leaving the more scenic views on the seaward side was short-lived, as we stumbled upon a supermarket, where we found bottles of Vinho Verde (Portuguese green or young wine) at a vastly reduced price of just 49 cents. Needless to say, we cleared the shelf of the remaining 5 bottles! Bargain! Vinho Verde is a Portugues specialty. It's a refreshing, lightly sparkling wine made from young grapes, with a slightly lower alcohol content than more mature table wines.
North from the Port of Leixoes, Porto
Going South
Exploring the Coast to the South of the Port of Leixoes
For a totally different beach experience, we walked again west along Avenida Antunes Guimares, but this time took a left along Rua Congosta do Abade over the Ponte movel (moving bridge), which took us south of the port of Leixoes. After passing the Mercado Municipal de Matosinhos (Matosinhos municipal market) we took a right down Rua Conde Sao Salvador. At the end, we turned left on to Rua Herois de Franca. The port was now to our right. Fish restaurants line the street on the left side. We took the first right down Rua Godinho. This road bends round to the left and becomes Avenida General Norton de Matos and, at last, we had sight of a beach and a useful Posto de Turismo de Matosinhos (local tourist office) to the right.
The Cruise Terminal
The wide stretch of sand is well worth the walk and is sheltered by the harbor wall and Terminal de Cruzeiros do Porto de Leixoes. The cruise terminal was designed by Luis Pedro Silva and was opened in July 2015. Like the open-air swimming pools on Praia da Leca da Palmeira, the terminal was open for free viewing the first weekend in July 2017 and I now regret not being prepared, at the time to take the extra walk out there, as it looks like a stunning location.
Praia da Matosinhos
Ideal for families, Praia da Matosinhos is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike in the warmer months. The broad promenade is overlooked by a selection of modern apartment blocks set behind landscaped greenery and the occasional eating place. The wide stretch of sandy beach gently shelves into the sea, offering safe bathing, overseen by lifeguards at busier times. The coastline is tidal and, even in the warmer months, Atlantic sea temperatures can be on the cool side.
Surf schools operate from the beach. The sand gradually gives way to the rocks around Forte de São Francisco Xavier (Fort of San Francisco Xavier ) or Castelo do Queijo (Castle of Cheese), which marks the end of the beach area. With the original fortification dating from the mid-1600s, this castle gained its name from the cheese shape of the rock formation. We opted to walk further rather than explore inside the castle, but others recommend a look for only 50 cents admission.
City Park, Porto
Crossing the road and heading inland we took a look at Parque da Cidade do Porto, 1.2 kilometers from the tourist office by Praia da Matosinhos. The City Park didn't quite live up to our expectations, although it is Portugal's largest urban park. The greenery and lakes were pleasant enough, but it had a slightly run down feel about it, which was not helped by the dismantling of a stage from an event the previous day. For a city park, it was surprisingly empty of visitors and we had a job finding our way in and out of the place. Admittedly it was a weekday in late June and maybe the inland end is more stunning.
There is a Sealife Centre sandwiched between the City Park and the roundabout behind Castelo de Quiejo, which links with Avenida da Boa Vista, heading into Porto. We didn't visit on this occasion, but from experience elsewhere, Sea Life centers are usually popular with younger visitors.
Tired of Walking?
If by this stage you are tired of walking, an alternative would be to pick up the Bus 500 from a roundabout behind Praia da Matosinhos or near Castelo do Quiejo, as this runs south along the coast of Foz do Douro and then follows the northern bank of the River Douro into central Porto. If not, walk on, as we did, into the area known as Foz do Douro.
Foz do Douro
The coastline is rockier as you walk in a southerly direction from Castelo do Quiejo through Jardins da Avenida de Montevideu, a pleasant area of trees and grass with a slightly run-down monument/fountain, along the coastal walkway. This leads eventually to the district of Foz do Douro, literally translated as the mouth of the Douro, as the area takes in the bend of the coast round into the river estuary. Rocks predominate, so swimming is not as easy as from Praia da Matosinhos to the north, but there are a few bars with views out to sea, as well as a Pizza Hut on this stretch of coastline.
The most striking sight on this stretch is undoubtedly the Pergola da Foz, associated with many a romantic photograph and built in the 1930s near the affluent area of Foz do Douro, which was inhabited by the wealthier classes. The pergola was refurbished in 2008. It is a 1.6-kilometer walk from the coast entrance of the City Park.
Finishing up
Rounding the corner from Foz do Douro, you will find a collection of cafes and food sellers backing onto the water and view across the river estuary. Jardim do Passeio Allegre, with its pleasantly landscaped grounds, dating from the end of the 19th Century,is a little further along, around 1.8 kilometers from the pergola.
Having walked a fair distance by now, you might want to pick up the vintage tram 1 by the gardens, which will take you along the riverbank into Porto.

We all have to decide how best to spend our time when on vacation. Factoring in the costs is also necessary. At least you got the photo and an outside impression of this fabulous piece of architecture.
That cruise terminal is a stunning piece of architecture! It is hard to tell, exactly, but it looks like people sitting on what appears almost like stadium seating. Is that correct?
Those two pools at Piscina das Mares look so inviting and scenic as well.
Revisiting this again just to enjoy your beautiful photos and descriptions once again. I can dream of vacationing in the coastline areas near Porto.
I'm a pretty private person and can't see myself swimming with other people but a walk along the beach and climbing the rocks looks really intriguing. Thanks for a view of places I may never get to see in person.
Hi Liz, I have to thank you for putting Portugal on my map of possible travel sites! A beautiful seaside trip would be amazing, and to see the Atlantic ocean from the other side of the pond would be a view of a lifetime.
I'm adding this coastline near Porto to my bucket list. The Cruze Terminal is really something! This tour, along with all the information, was a joy to read. The photos made me feel like I was almost there.
Thanks, Liz.
The coastline near Porto sounds like a great place to cool off during the summer months. I love to spend time exploring on foot. You can find unique places that way. Another great travelogue!
That has to be the most interesting cruise terminal I've ever seen in my life. And that photo of that bridge is such a gorgeous sight. You have lots of informative info here. Thanks for sharing.
Another visual treat from you on the Coastal regions near Porto. The swimming pool of the seas looked very good but you took care to warn about the summer heat and lack of shade. Very thorough and informative.
If I ever make it to Portugal, I'll keep Porto in mind, Not too far from where I am right now ... maybe a days drive.
Well thanks for highlighting the coast Liz
It seems it's best to visit a place at least twice. The first time to get a feel for the place and the second time to explore the places you found about when you were there but didn't have the time to visit.
What a lovely coastline. Such pristine beaches
The Swimming Pools of the Sea and the Cruise Terminal do seem especially interesting. Did you know these places were their before you visited Porto?
Thank you for this beautiful tour of the Coast near Porto. You have given really good information in both facts and pictures. The "swimming pool of the seas" seems very interesting.
What a wonderful place to go. Thanks for a lot of information. I hope I can go there one day.
These look like amazing spots to go. Thanks for such an interesting read - plus the beautiful pictures. Where was the first one taken? It's such an fascinating shot. It looks like it was taken up on a mountain somewhere looking through a break in the rocks.
Oh how lovely it would be to visit this coastal area. It is a great contrast to the apparently dense Porto. To share your visit via this well done post is a treat.
I was thinking pitching to magazines!
I like that you are concentrating your efforts on an area which does not get many articles....it narrows your reading market, of course, but it also means you are one of few writers in that market, and that will pay off eventually. My suggestion: contact the Porto tourism office and make a pitch.
Thanks for showing us the coastlines around Porto and what there is to do and see if exploring them as you did. Those saltwater pools built adjacent to the ocean reminded me of the one we saw while in Acapulco many years ago. That is a great idea and safer than swimming in the open ocean waters.
The photo of the cruise terminal is fascinating. It almost looks like rows of seating at the top. I enjoyed all of your photos and the descriptions. Looking forward to reading more of your articles!
Nice. Never actually been to Portugal. It's on my list though.
If you had presented nothing else about Porto in any other article, the pools and beach would still have me hooked. Absolutely marvelous. I must go!
I've enjoyed reading all of your Porto articles very much, but this is my favourite one. I love the views of the sea and beaches. I like the first photo in this article, too. The natural frame surrounding the view is lovely. Thank you for sharing your travel experiences, Liz.
That's a nice, detailed account of your trip. It looks like a beautiful and interesting place!
These beaches look amazing. We enjoyed our time in Porto but we always travel in the winter as summer in Canada is great. We did walk in the beach in Nova da Gaia but did not really enjoy other beach activities.
Porto looks a lovely place to visit. There's lots to do and see. I'd definitely do a lot of walking and exploring!

Let me start off by saying: I am so sick and tired of waking up in the morning to see that more black individuals were KILLED by police officers, whose job is to protect people rather than shoot them for unjust reasons that relate to their skin color.
On July 6 2016, Alton Sterling was shot multiple times after police officers stated that he had a weapon. As clearly seen in the video published, no weapon was seen, but after the two police officers shot him, one of them kneeled down and got something out of his pocket. Whatever he got out of his pocket was in my opinion small and couldn't have been a weapon. After talking to one of the witnesses, he said he might have seen a weapon, but Sterling was not trying to take it out.
This killing sickens me because Sterling was just a normal guy trying to sell CD's, and although it is illegal, he DID NOT DESERVE TO BE KILLED FOR IT. He had a family who cared, loved, and depended on him. His children are going to have to live with the fact that their father was killed for no reason other than his skin color, and that is something no one deserves to live with.
On July 7 2016, Philando Castile, a school cafeteria worker, was shot three times for an unjust, unapparent reason. He was stopped for a broken taillight, the officer asked him for his licence, so Castile let him know that he had a shotgun with him, and that is when the officer shot him. In the 10-minute video taken by his girlfriend, the officer clearly knows that he was guilty because he was crying, swearing and trying to make excuses. It sucks knowing how there was a 4-year-old in the car as the events unfolded and how it will forever scar that little girl.
I can't even begin to imagine how black people feel after all the unjust killings that is happening. I don't know how it feels to be always scared from the people who were hired to literally protect them. And I don't know how long it will take before this messed up justice system starts to change, but I know for a fact that if nothing changes, horrible things will be coming in the system's way.

Right Side
Obviously, this muslin needs work before I add the sleeves and collar. There is a half inch difference between my left and right side so that part is not my sewing. The left shoulder is lower and the right side is one half inch wider from the center. I'll appreciate any suggestions to get rid of those winkles. Thanks!!

About Henley Cigs
Henley Cigs is a NY-based manufacturer that was founded in 2011, but was never an intentional venture. Founded by a group of friends who were simply looking for a better vape, driven by a passion for the technology and a desire to produce something that could help people substitute smoking, they started testing prototypes. After finding something they were happy with, they started selling products and went on to open their "Vaporium" in Manhattan. They have everything from cig-a-like beginner kits and disposables through to eGos and some third-party mods for more advanced users, as well as own-brand and third-party e-liquids.
Their beginner rechargeable kits include two of their own and an option from AIO, with the Henley Deluxe Kit containing a portable charging case, two batteries, five cartomizers, two USB cords and a wall adapter ($69.95), and the stripped-down Express Kit costing just $19.95. They also have a couple of eGo kits, such as the CE4 Kit I, which comes with a 900 mAh eGo battery, two CE4 clearomizers, USB charger, wall adapter and carry case for $44.00 (you can also upgrade to a variable voltage ego for an extra $5 and choose your battery size), or you can pick up batteries individually. Mod-loving vapers can also order several options from Innokin, such as the iTaste SVD ($80) and MVP 2.0 kit (including the unit, a USB charger, two iClear 16 clearomizers and "beauty ring" for $60), as well as the Vamo V5 ($80).
Henley has 10 cartridge flavors on offer (including Menthol, Strawberry, Cherry and Vanilla) and a selection of 11 unique e-liquids, such as the Big Dapple (apple and cinnamon), Gawn Bananas (banana and peanut butter), Psychotherapy (coconut doughnut) and the NY4 (RY4-esque caramel tobacco). Cartridges are available in two nicotine levels (18 or 24 mg per ml), and a five-pack costs $11.95. If you're interested in just giving Henley a try, you can also pick up a three-pack of disposables for $29.95. E-liquids come in 15 ml bottles and either 6 mg, 12 mg or 18 mg/ml strengths, costing $12, and there are also options from other brands like the Standard and Pink Spot Vapors.
Overall, there is something at Henley for everyone from the just-switching smokers to cloud-hungry vapers, and their own-brand products perform well overall. The prices could be a little better, but the quality is without question.
If you're looking for beginner e-cigs and vaporizers under $50, we highly recommend Juul Vapor for their high quality of vapor, design, and customer service. You can get 15% off your first order by using one of the discount codes for Juul.

Car sales reached a record high in 2016 and no doubt millions of us Brits will treat ourselves to a new set of wheels in 2017. Our appetite for new cars continues at a pace, and with so many news cars to choose from like the AMG GT Roadster (below), why not.
Few buyers are in a position to buy a whole car in one go – the various finance packages let you spread a car's cost over a number of months. These deals often incur interest – meaning you pay more than if you'd bought outright. There are a handful of cars that are offered with zero per cent interest, but you'll need to search around for these.
The majority of new cars are bought using financial products such as hire purchase agreements. New analysis by ClearScore, which now recommends car loans based on someone's credit score, reveals how someone's financial history will impact the overall cost of buying a new car, with APR rates varying from as low as 5% to 32% and higher. For example, the hotly anticipated Fiat Abarth 500x crossover – launching mid 2017 – is set to be a popular choice for Fiat fans with a passion for speed. However, the £25,000 price tag could cost someone with a low credit score an extra £18,967 in interest repayments over a five-year loan period compared to someone with an excellent score.
Someone's credit score is one of the determining factors when it comes to setting what the interest repayments will be over the period of the loan; those with better scores will be offered better deals. Using the Abarth 500x example, somebody with a low score (278 and under if using ClearScore) could pay an average of £4,689 in interest every year over a five year loan period (£23,449 over five years based on APR of 31.9%). This is more than someone with a high score (467 and above if using ClearScore) will pay in interest during the whole loan period (£4,481 in total based on APR of 5.9%).
Justin Basini, CEO at ClearScore, comments: "Car finance deals are more popular than ever and can be a great way to make your dream car affordable. One way to improve the deal you're offered is to choose the car you want a few months in advance and work hard on improving your credit score before applying for finance – a high score can reduce the cost significantly."
From 2017 ClearScore offers all of its users personalised deals on car finance, which are tailored based on their credit score. How cool is that!

Press Release: Statement by the IMF Executive Board on Argentina
December 9, 2013Press Release No. 13/497
December 9, 2013
The International Monetary Fund's Executive Board met today to consider the Managing Director's report on Argentina's progress in implementing remedial measures to address the quality of the official data reported to the Fund for the Consumer Price Index for Greater Buenos Aires (CPI-GBA) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
While noting that Argentina has not adopted the measures called for by the Fund to address the inaccurate provision of CPI-GBA and GDP data, the Executive Board recognized Argentina's ongoing work and intention to introduce a new national CPI in early 2014. The Board also noted that Argentina is working to address the shortcomings in its GDP data.
In light of these developments, the Executive Board adopted a decision calling on Argentina to implement specified actions to address the quality of its official CPI and GDP data according to a specified timetable. The decision calls on Argentina to implement an initial set of specified actions, including the public release of a new national CPI and revised GDP estimates, by end March 2014. Further actions must be implemented by end-September 2014 and end-February 2015. The Managing Director is required to report to the Executive Board by within 45 days of each of the aforementioned deadlines on the status of Argentina's implementation of the specified actions. At each such time, the Executive Board will review this issue in line with IMF procedures1.
The Fund notes the importance of the ongoing discussions with the Argentine authorities to improve the quality of Argentina's official CPI and GDP data and stands ready to continue this dialogue, and, more generally, to continue strengthening the relationship between Argentina and the Fund.

Love is unconditional.
It has no beginning, nor end.
It cannot be switched on or off
Much as one may pretend.
Relationships are a different thing
There is a 'you', and 'me', and a 'we' there
Either bridges are built together,
Then sustained with attentive care,
Or to neglected ruin they fall
Unable to accommodate
Conflicting needs and wants,
Routine wear and tear
To confuse the two
Is to err
Love is synonymous with being
Flow, a background that is just there
To ground it in the day to day living together
One has to become present, responsive, aware,
Remembering the choices, actions
Each individuated self makes
Affects the collective space we share
If and when one can see
There is no other, only me
Contrasts and similarities appear and resolve,
Morphing, integrating rhythmically
But relating to these mirror selves
Is something learned slowly, gradually
Until then, the road ahead
Is best navigated pragmatically

As it is known, in 2014, Nightwish's original drummer Jukka Nevalainen left the band because of his sleep disorder.
He replaced by the Wintersun drummer Kai Hahto, who also turned to Swallow The Sun and Trees of Eternity.
For a long time, the news was that Jukka was returning to the band, but it wasn't.
Kai has only been a replacement drummer so far, but now he will be a permanent drummer in the band, because Jukka announced in an official statement that he will continue to take care of the band`s businesses in the background.
Below you can find Jukka's official announcement which published on the Nightwish's Facebook:
"It has now been five years since my difficult decision, due to severe insomnia, to step aside from the Vehicle of Spirit of Nightwish.
This included the previous studio album and the tours which followed.
As I then expected, it turned out to be the right thing to do.
These days I'm doing fantastic, and hardly ever need to deal with any sleeping issues.
It also dawned on me that having more time to merely focus on band – related things happening behind the curtains made all the difference.
Having said this, I have decided not to push my luck by returning to the band.
My dear pal Kai Hahto will take my place as a full-time member of the band.
I will continue to take care of the band`s businesses in the background, and I`m very much looking forward to what other adventures life has to offer!
My sincere thank you`s for the band and the fans for the glorious time we shared!"
It also includes the news that the band started working on its 9th studio album, which will be released during the spring of 2020.
This can also be found in the following publication.
