Bird control solutions for all types of premises
A bird infestation problem at your premises poses a number of serious problems, both to the structure of the building and to your business, customers, people traffic and public access areas. A successful bird deterrent programme requires timing, organization, persistence and diversity. Lancashire Bird Control has experience of establishing professional, effective and sustainable bird control solutions for a wide range of clients.
Lancashire Bird Control will undertake a free survey to analyse your individual circumstances and to offer a feasible and cost-effective way of putting in place the right solution for your bird infestation problem.
We have many years experience in flying hawks and falcons to disperse and remove problem birds, such as seagulls and pigeons. We are responsible for the bird control at a large number of sites throughout the country, such as airports, industrial sites, hospitals, warehouses, schools, sporting venues, landfill sites, retail parks and town centres.
Falconry is a natural, humane and environmentally friendly deterrent to nuisance birds. The presence of the hawk or falcon alone is enough to deter these species from a site; the objective is not to kill any birds, but to scare them away from the premises.
Hawks and falcons are a legal way to deal with birds which are protected from lethal methods of reduction. Furthermore this service is much more discreet than spikes, air horns or other methods of bird deterrence.
As well as flying based control we also have other solutions available.
Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, wild birds, their nests and eggs are protected. Failure to comply with the legislation can result in prosecution and if found guilty, an unlimited fine and/or a six month custodial sentence.
A detailed knowledge of all relevant legislation ensures licences are in place to undertake bird management activities within the scope of UK law.
Our technicians will explain all the available and appropriate options during your free consultation.

Love to create new dishes using my culinary experience or exchange recipes from all over the world with my friends- me fascina! I have a stupendous recipe that you should have in your home too; it's stuffed potatoes a la chilena. The best part of this recipe are the choices: you can vary the filling as you like, serve as an appetizer or main dish, and eat them hot or cold. These stuffed potatoes can easily be the center of your next dinner menu.
This is a typical dish from the south of Chile that resembles large croquetas or nuggets that are deliciosa and easy to prepare. They can be eaten as a side or main dish and served with a fresh salad, platanos dulce (sweet oven-baked bananas) or just a homemade salsa. It's a complete meal in itself where the filling makes the difference!

Sperry Top-Sider has been an American favorite since 1935 when Paul Sperry, inspired by his dog Prince's ability to run nimbly over ice and snow, used a pen knife to cut siping into the outsole of a rubber sneaker. This ingenuity, along with the iconic inspiration of other design details, launched an American Original. Sperry's mission is to share this unique story with a new generation that will embrace the brand because of its heritage, authenticity and optimistic personality.

I ordered via Zomato from 51 Rainbow Ice-cream in Karama. this was my very first time ordering ice-cream online. To my surprise the ice-cream was still perfect and not melted. I ordered for Rose Falooda, Pure Saffron Falooda and Chocolate thick Shake. All 3 were delicious. My order was delivered within the promised time frame and in perfect condition. The packaging was great. If you haven't tried this place then you are missing out on some delicious Falooda's.

Earlier this summer, Jay Z invited a small audience of cultural heavies—among them Marina Abranovic, Michael K. Williams, and Jerry Saltz—to a New York gallery for a six-hour performance of his new song "Picasso Baby." It wasn't the first time music and fine art have mingled, and it won't be the last. From the Velvet Underground at Andy Warhol's Factory to Jean-Michael Basquiat's start in the world of grafitti, music and art have been heady, fruitful bedfellows for as long as we know. This week, Kristin Rogers Brown and Andi Zeisler pulled together a selection of their fave songs about art and artists for your listening palette.
Here's the tracklist:

One stands out above the rest.
The question was posed: "How many theses does the Cluetrain Manifesto actually present?" After trying to find the top seven or even an ambitious top ten, I then tried to extract just three. This attempt met failure!
There is essentially one theses present in the Cluetrain Manifesto; the rest of the 95 theses can be considered aiding text/claims—sort of like the Assistant to the Director or the supporting-actor in a blockbuster movie.
The first of the Cluetrain Manifesto's 95 theses states, "Markets are conversations." This assertion is like the timestamp for the other 94 theses—or for my own enjoyment "the other supporting acts"—leaving a reference point. It is true as markets we want person to person interaction, companies need to talk with a human voice, and even as employees we are still part of the market that want companies to speak the same language and listen. BUT these arguments still support the higher claim that markets are building and maintaining conversations.
Markets, are speaking with emotions, opinions, and feelings, which Levine argues enables pools of people to interact in a way that wasn't possible during the mass media era. Companies that choose not to interact with this community of "smarter, more informed and more organized" individuals will agreeably die—as Levine and his cohorts suggest in theses number forty.
We the "market" are human–beings with a desire to express ourselves and interact with each other. In a quarterly survey for Harvard Business. Ruder Finn remarkably found evidence that supports Levin's ninth theses ("These networked conversations are enabling powerful new forms of social organization and knowledge exchange to emerge"). Part of the results showed, "Seniors are going online today for the same reasons younger people are: to have fun (82%) and to socialize (80%)." This finding is an echo of statements and actions by online–users, which should not just be considered by corporate executives—who still try to target markets with monotone, computer generated promotions—but acted upon.
Essentially Levine and his cohorts got it right the first time—"markets are conversations." The sad part is companies "seem to be speaking a different language." Will they ever make the connection and join the conversation? That's the question that for now remains a mystery that deserves a watchful eye.

Nationwide practices for screening and reporting prenatal cocaine abuse: a survey of teaching programs
Article Abstract:
Research was conducted to evaluate the role of physicians in prenatal cocaine abuse screening, legislation awareness and treatment of cocaine abusers. Questionnaires were distributed among 81 pediatric programs and 81 obstetric programs in 42 states. Maternal history was used by 81% of the physicians and urine examination by 36% of the physicians to assess cocaine abuse by expectant mothers, but all the physicians did not admit to a fixed screening policy. Legislative awareness regarding cocaine abuse reporting was prevalent among 52% of the respondents and medical, social and legal intervention was found to be necessary in cocaine abuse treatment.

Child abuse and neglect from an indigenous Australian's perspective
Article Abstract:
Child abuse was non-existent before Australia was colonized. The advent of colonization was detrimental to aboriginal family life. The population decreased greatly and the average life expectancy is 20 years shorter than for white Australians. They represent half of all the prisoners in Australia and are twenty times more likely to be imprisoned than white Australians. Native villages lack basic services such as housing, proper sanitation and running water. Alcoholism and drug addiction are rampant and lead to sexually-transmitted diseases, violence and child abuse.

For normal accidents involving two passenger cars, the occupants are usually protected by the crash zone designed into the cars. The crash zone chassis will absorbed the impact and reduce the danger to the occupants.
However, if passenger car rear ended a lorry or trailer, the contact point with the car is way above the crash zone resulting in fatal crash to the car occupants as shown in the following video. At 2:09, the impact of the the highest rated car upon hitting the lorry resulted in fatal accident. The contact point on the car occurs at the point way above the crash zone i.e. at the weaker point of the car.
Thus, in developed country, in order to avoid fatal accidents, all lorries or trailers must be installed with under-ride guard-bar at the back of the trailers or lorries. The under-ride guard-bar will be in contact with the chassis/crumple zone of the passenger car in the event of a crash and the crumple zone of the passenger car will absorb the crash energy, Thus, the chassis/crumple zone of the vehicles could perform its duty as designed to protect the occupant from fatal accidents.
Under-Ride Guard-Bar
In order to avoid future accidents involving passenger car and lorries or trailers, the under-ride guard-bar must be installed on all lorries or trailers.

Sri Lanka skipper Upul Tharanga was given a two-match suspension for his team's slow over rate in the second one-day international against India in Pallekele on Thursday, the International Cricket Council said.
Tharanga will miss the next two matches of the five-match series, in Pallekele on Aug. 27 and Colombo on Aug. 31, after Sri Lanka were adjudged to have bowled three overs short of their target in the specified time.
It's the second time Tharanga has been suspended this year, after missing two matches in June's ICC Champions Trophy for the same offence of his side's slow over rate.
Sri Lanka brought in Dinesh Chandimal and Lahiru Thirimanne to the squad in place of opening batsman Danusha Gunathilaka and the suspended Tharanga.
The hosts lost Thursday's match by three wickets and trail India 2-0 in the series.

Hey friends! Just a quick tip for you tonight! Have you noticed when trends come into fashion they affect everything around us even our product packaging?
Why not die cut cute embellishments from pretty foiled packages like I did from the pink/gold foil box my make-up came in. Watch the video to see how!
You can find beautiful foiled cardboard on everything from tea, skin cream and other consumer goods, heck, I even consider the pretty packaging when I am shopping and I am a bit embarrassed to admit I have bough things because the packaging was cute. If we think about how we can use the packaging as well as the stuff we are buying there will be less trash in the landfill and more treasure for us to craft with! Happy crafting!

I feel like I need to prepare for the matches tonight. Mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually. Maybe sexually, too.
I mean, think about the kind of strenuous activity I get from jumping off the bed and running to the bathroom/kitchen during commerical breaks. Who knows what kind of cramping/injury I could get during this exercise? Where's my physio?!
This shit is hardcore.
August 15, 2009 at 7:45 pm
LOL, I feel the same way. Being a fan is EXHAUSTING.
August 15, 2009 at 8:00 pm
True story. I also definitely need a stress reliever– you know those squishy ball things? And/or a punching bag.
August 15, 2009 at 8:08 pm
My stress reliever is to throw things. 🙂
I'm hoping I can refrain from looking up the score when we return tonight so that I can pretend to watch the Elf match live, but I don't know that I have that discipline (I also don't know that I want to subject myself to another loss of my favorites — Nole and Rafa losing last night was not at all fun, although at least Rafa lost to another player I love).
August 15, 2009 at 8:35 pm
you and i both G. I'm single handedly keeping and entire Native Reservation afloat with my ciggy consumption.
August 16, 2009 at 12:42 am
Re: Neil and G's addiction — you should file a suit against the ATP. Get yourself that lawyer that Reeshie had with the whole "Pamela" debacle …
Anyone else watching Elf now? See his sweat stain on the front of his shorts? Hah.
August 16, 2009 at 12:56 am
he's up a break in the second thankfully. I think most amazing Elf strategy is the "Look like i'm half dead" while blasting serves and groundies all over the place. The commies here haven't picked up on it, but i know your plan Elf, i know it well!
And make that a double break!
August 16, 2009 at 12:57 am
Well, speaking of shambolic……WHAT THE HELL ANDY???? You have to win TWO sets to win the match. I don't EVER remember Roddick being broked TWICE to start a set. AWFUL.
August 16, 2009 at 1:01 am
I haven't seen Roddick take a walkabout this big in a really, really long time. Painful to watch, this is a disaster.
August 16, 2009 at 1:04 am
Oh Andy, don't start going off on the ump now.
August 16, 2009 at 1:07 am
Yeah, Neil, I don't want him to start getting distracted by the ump, but when he's frustrated that's usually how he shows it….
I'm just so glad he at least got on the board. He really needs to focus and regroup for the third.
August 16, 2009 at 1:14 am
Didn't I already see this set- LAST YEAR, the first set of LA??????
August 16, 2009 at 1:20 am
Nice come back by Elf in the second. Predict the third is going to be super close.
August 16, 2009 at 1:58 am
I don't know Gaul, I still think Delpo's playing WAY better than Roddick, though that last service game was slightly more encouraging.
It's hard to see Andy pulling this one out right now….
August 16, 2009 at 2:05 am
Tee hee, so called it…tied at 5's
August 16, 2009 at 2:06 am
Are you guys breathing??? I am not.
August 16, 2009 at 2:17 am
Well, then there's that. Congrats to you guys.
I'm crushed beyond belief. I'll try to write something eloquent about the match/Andy's season later, but right now I'm going to go drink.
August 16, 2009 at 2:25 am
Congrats to Juan and the Elvin faithful…i really enjoyed that match. On record now that Juan will be the next mofo to bust into top 4 party!! Really impressed with him all around tonight.
August 16, 2009 at 2:27 am
It's just like…it's not just the fact that he's losing. I mean, he's making it late in tourneys and that's great. It's HOW he's losing. Can't he just lose quickly? Just not show up? Between these last two matches with Elf, the Wimby final (which let's face it, was enough heartbreak to last FOREVER), and his QF with Fed in Miami this year, there have been more excruciating losses than I can ever remember- probably because the stakes are so high and they are all within reach for him to win. Just tough not to think about what might be…
Anyways, I'm going to go away now and stop being a buzz kill. Great win for Elf. He's super impressive and great even though I now have to hate him. And this is a great moment for his career.
August 16, 2009 at 2:33 am
Sorry Linz. Despite my unending love and adoration and scary obsession with Elf, I was a bit disappointed by Roddick's last few games in that set there … wish he could have held it together.
And I can't deny how ungodly worried I was when ARod had match point … I thought he had the whole thing gift-wrapped for him, until that so-close-maybe-I-should-challenge unforced error.
Can't deny, though, that I eagerly DVR-ed JMDP signing the camera lense and smiling and looking adorable. And re-watched it
9 1011 times.
Seriously, this is getting a bit ridiculous.
August 16, 2009 at 3:03 am
juan martin, juan martin, juan martin! pirouettes and leaps.
& sorry linz.
juan martin never looks like he's playing beyond what he can easily do.
August 16, 2009 at 3:11 am
Happy Ions, were you the one that said that "BG" (ugh, hate that nickname) was crushing on JMDP?
Because after listening to today's commentary, you're totally right.
BG and Elf-man sitting in a tree …
August 16, 2009 at 3:17 am
also, i haven't seen a player like this since federer. nadal is great, but in a completely different way. del potro like federer is going to change the way the game of tennis is played. the evolution of the game of tennis is in his racket. it's awesome! i hope del potro wins tomorrow. i actually will be surprised if he loses. his serve. and his seven league boots…all these hunches about del potro. pfft, you ask me to explain it…i can't. i just see it. for proof, just watch the next 8 years!
August 16, 2009 at 3:18 am
He's probably just jumping on the Elf-train before it runs him over …
(now THAT'S a nice image)
August 16, 2009 at 3:55 am
irtty, no i didn't say that bg was crushing on elf. someone else did, though. i heard him a bit. i block him out like bad music in restaurants. i am interested in BGs observations about how tennis players play (but i know i have to take them at half their at value too), but i never pay attention to his love fests for players. in one ear and out other. i wish i could listen to the internet streams in synchronization with the espn2 hd picture on tv.
hope this doesn't offent anyone: my friend who has a knack for coming up with obnoxious nicknames came up with marianus fartoli.
August 16, 2009 at 3:57 am
Apparently I need to talk about it some more, so I'm back.
But now I just want to focus on the positives: Roddick's awesome season. With such heartbreaking losses it's easy to forget how amazingly consistent he's been this season. He's played in 12 tourneys so far this year. 1 win, 3 finals, 9 semis (!!), 11 QFs (!!). Only ONCE has he lost before the QFs, and that was in the French Open 4th Round to Monfils.
I'm proud to be his fan, and I really hope that he gets some good quality wins this fall. Obviously I would LOVE to see him raise the USOpen trophy, but I think he SHOULD at least get one of the remaining Masters Series. It's a shame his year has been so good with only one title to show from it, but one of these excruciatingly close matches HAS to go his way. He's worked hard, he's playing great, and he deserves it. And the tennis gods owe him big time.
I'm tempted to be encouraged by today because he OBVIOUSLY didn't play his best- WAY below his level yesterday- and even that wasn't his best as his first serve was still missing- and yet he still had a match point (HOW DID HE NOT WIN IT THEN OMG I FELL TO THE FLOOR). I just hope this doesn't become some sort of "mental block" against Elf, but it's kind of hard to see how it can't. Luckily, Andy is much more mentally tough than I am, haha.
Anyways, the Cincy draw is TERRIFYINGLY difficult, and then there's the USOpen, so there's tons of frazzle ahead, but I have faith that his good form will continue.
I just really, REALLY want his serve to come back. I miss it terribly
(Sorry for the long post…hopefully you are all too drunk with happiness to pay attention, haha)

Linz, your man is in great shape and I predict great things for him in the near future. And besides winning a lot of matches and ranking points he's earning the respect of all the tennis fans around the world. I used to be one of those "Roddick haters" (for no reason whatsoever)but now he's one of my favorite players, I still had to pull for my main man today (Delpo) though. 🙂
August 16, 2009 at 4:25 am
Yeah, Linz, you should definitely be proud of Roddick, he's obvz having a fantastic season and has matured a shitload as a player. (Shitload is a technical term.)
I'm sure there are great things in store for him in (very near) future … my crystal ball don't lie.
August 16, 2009 at 4:28 am
P.S: The commentary quote of the night goes to Darren "Killer" Cahill, who had this long analogy about Hummers and Andy Roddick and fitness.
Anyone remember? He was like, "Andy is like a Hummer. What's so great about a Hummer? The big powerful engine. And Andy had that — he just didn't have the exterior." (Goes on to blab about how he lost that weight.)
It was a rather hilarious metaphor and he sort of rambled on for a few minutes about it … classic.

some time recently, www.hyatt.com (hotel chain) started using a 3 field login system, consisting of (a) username, (b) last name, (c) password.
I've tried everything I can think of (including the "Save All Entered Data"), completing deleting the stored history, re-doing, etc.
However, everytime, it seems like LastPass fills in the Username for both fields (a) and (b), even though I can see when I go to my vault that the last name is actually my last name.
This is happening in Chrome and Edge for me.
Anyone else with this issue, and any solution for it?

The first time Richard Vogt tried to catch a giant South American river turtle (Podocnemis expansa), the hundred-pound (45-kilogram) reptile dragged him 30 feet (9.1 meters) down to the bottom of a river. It would have kept going, too, if he hadn't decided to give up and let go of the shell.
Vogt is a herpetologist with Brazil's National Institute for Amazonian Research who recently received the ninth annual Behler Turtle Conservation Award for lifetime achievement. Twenty-five years after that giant first pulled him under, he's still studying these fascinating creatures. In fact, in the most recent issue of Herpetologica, the first known evidence that turtles provide parental care for their hatchlings was reported by Vogt and Camila Ferrara of the Wildlife Conservation Society.
"The giant South American river turtle is one of the most social species of turtle in the world," Vogt said. "They migrate together, they nest communally, and they hatch out in huge numbers together."
And now, thanks to 220 hours' worth of underwater recordings, Vogt and his team have shown that female giant South American river turtles in Brazil call to their hatchlings once they reach the water for the first time.
Pillow Talk
The very idea that turtles can communicate with each other using sound is rather new. Turtles lack vocal cords and their ears are internal, so for many years scientists simply assumed turtles were, as Vogt called it, "deaf as a post."
Over the past 50 years of working with these animals, it always seemed strange to him that some species could seem so downright organized without some form of communication.
For instance, when giant South American river turtles (also known as Arrau river turtles) leave the water to dig a nest and lay eggs, they do so in single file. Vogt has witnessed a queue of females stretching 16 turtles long—though regrettably, that tally was reduced to 15 after a black caiman picked off the last in line.
In recent years, however, herpetologists have started to detect a whole host of sounds made by the reptiles, both in and out of the water.
"Not only are the turtles talking," said Vogt, "they're talking before they hatch."
Vogt suspects that sounds made while the hatchlings are still in the shell may stimulate the group to emerge all at once. They may also account for the many premature hatchlings commonly found at the bottom of a nest. Presumably, the turtles hear their siblings' calls and pop out before they're physically ready.
Come to Mama!
Unlike other species that hatch en masse, such as sea turtles, giant South American river turtles don't have to start their lives as orphans.
In fact, as soon as the tiny turtles hit the water for the first time, females that have been waiting in the area since they laid eggs two months ago start calling out to the babies. Once the two generations meet up, they migrate together from the beach back to the river's flooded forests.
The scientists aren't sure yet if the females in the water are actually related to the hatchlings, but they plan to do blood tests later this year to determine whether an individual mother might somehow recognize and join up with her own offspring. A hatching event can mean thousands and thousands of babies hitting the water at the same time, so this kind of recognition would be all the more impressive.
Not Exactly Chatterboxes
One of the reasons it's taken us so long to learn about these sounds is that turtles communicate at frequencies in the lower range of the human audible spectrum. Like whales, turtles probably use these frequencies because the sounds can travel long distances underwater.
It helps to have a young set of ears, because humans over the age of 50 have a difficult time detecting low-frequency sounds. Oh, and you'll also need some patience. Vogt said you can place a hydrophone in the water next to a turtle and expect to hear only 15 to 20 sounds over the course of eight hours.
And it only works in the wild. "Take a turtle out of the wild and it'll talk for a few days and then just shut up," Vogt said.
So, what do turtles sound like? Vogt compares the sounds to clicks, clucks, and hoots.
Note that the individual sounds on these recordings have been amplified and repeated to enable the listener to better hear the differences in vocalizations. In the wild, the turtles make these individual sounds with long periods of silence in between. All recordings are by C. Ferrara of the Wildlife Conservation Society.
Cry for Help?
Now that we know giant South American river turtles rely on communication to enable hatching and migration, Vogt said it's time to determine what effect shipping noise might have on the animals. There's already plenty of evidence that the noise created by oil and gas exploration is detrimental to a wide variety of marine mammals, so perhaps turtles are also at risk. (See "Will Atlantic Ocean Oil Prospecting Silence Endangered Right Whales?")
Unfortunately, this species is also under threat from the illegal wildlife trade and local appetites. Brazilians prize turtle eggs as a delicacy, and the turtles themselves are often slaughtered for meat. A recent trend toward dam building in the country rounds out the list of potential threats. (See also "Costa Rican Murder Shines Light on Poaching, Drug Nexus.")
While the International Union for Conservation of Nature currently lists the giants as being of "Least Concern," the Tortoise and Freshwater Specialist Group (of which Vogt is part) has strongly recommended a change in status to "Endangered."
A Whole New Line of Inquiry
This sort of research is interesting not only for the effects it might have on our understanding of a particular species, but also for turtles in general.
"This research is exciting because it basically opens up a whole new line of inquiry related to turtle behavior," said David Steen, a conservation biologist specializing in turtles and snakes at the Alabama Natural Heritage Program at Auburn University.
"That we know so little about the wildlife around us is exciting because it reinforces that one should never just accept conventional wisdom when conducting research," Steen said. "We still have a lot to learn."

Miami will be without one of its key defensive contributors of the 2013 season in the defensive backfield. Safety Rayshawn Jenkins is scheduled for back surgery on Monday, and the rehab time will cost Jenkins the entire football season.
Jenkins started in 12 games for Miami last season, recording three interceptions and 46 tackles. News of an injury was first broken by Jenkins on Wednesday on his Facebook page. In a status update, Jenkins announced he will not be playing this season. The injury to his back that triggered the need for surgery reportedly was suffered during weight lifting exercises. Jenkins attempted to continue practicing through pain earlier in the week but eventually needed to receive medical treatment.
The Miami Herald suggests Jenkins will have to spend the next six months in rehab following surgery on Monday, which means the 2014 season is out of the question, but a return for the spring seems to be in the cards.
Tough he started 12 games for Miami in 2014, Jenkins was most recently listed behind Dallas Crawford on Miami's depth chart.

The showhouse, located at 2022 E. Lafayette, Milwaukee, will be opening on May 31 and running through June 15th. The Wisconsin Breast Cancer Showhouse (WBCS) has been in existance since 1998 and has donated over $5.1 million to the Medical College of Wisconsin for breast cancer research. Each year volunteer designers, painters, and builders donate their time and expertise to renovate an area home. The transformation is always nothing short of amazing. If you've never been to one of these events, you should definitely check it out!!! Tickets to see this year's home can be purchased at the link above.

As I explained in my last blog, many people confuse public relations with advertising and don't know the difference between the two. During my 20 plus years in public relations, clients have asked, "What's the difference between advertising and public relations?" People will comment on our great PR when it is actually a paid ad. On the other hand, we have been complimented on our "ad in the paper" when they are actually referring to a feature story that we placed. This blog will explain seven areas in which Advertising and Public Relations differ.
1. Paid vs. Free
Advertising – With advertising, a company pays for ad space, which is often expensive. If you just run one ad, it's really not going to do much for your product or service unless you run it at least once a month over a period of time. However, just running an ad in a publication without awareness of the brand first is often not effective.
PR – A PR firm's job is to get free publicity for a company or service through press releases, media pitches and good relationships with the media. An article in a newspaper provides third-party endorsement and credibility for your product or service. It can position your product or service as part of a trend or human interest story, rather than a product promotion. A media placement by a PR firm is often referred to as "earned" media. If you're looking for media services from a quality PR firm then why not see what Violet PR can do for your organization?
2. Controlling the Message vs. Influencing the Message
Advertising – If you're paying for an ad, you can say exactly what you want ("This is the greatest thing since sliced bread"), but consumers often are skeptical because they know you're paying for it. This is not to say it's ineffective, but consumers may think it's biased.
PR – When you pitch a story to a reporter and he/she decides to pursue it, you don't have as much control over what gets into the paper. But a good PR person knows how to increase a company's chances of positive publicity. Conducting message training, preparing clients for interviews and helping them practice their "quotes" or "sound bites" increases the chances that the story will contain positive messages for the company or product.
3. A 10-second Spot vs. Perpetuity on the Internet
Advertising – It would seem that an ad has a longer "shelf life" because of its creativity and delivery method. But once the ad runs, the shelf life expires. Marketing experts say that seeing an ad for a few seconds online or fast forwarding it on your DVR still has value because the audience is still seeing it. However, once it runs, it's over.
PR – With the Internet, an article, tweet or Facebook post is there forever. The Library of Congress is now archiving every public tweet. If an article gets in a particular newspaper, magazine, and/or television station, it often runs online and will show up in a variety of search engines. We have a client who was interviewed by CNN back in 2001. If you Google his name and CNN, the transcript of that interview comes up. The Internet has extended the "shelf life" of a PR campaign.
Another advantage of PR is that once the article is in cyberspace, it is available to be googled by reporters. That's why byline articles are useful. They help position your client as an expert, so when reporters are searching a particular topic, your client's name will come up and get additional publicity.
4. Biased vs. Unbiased Perceptions
Advertising – When customers see your ad, they know that you provided the message and are trying to sell them something. They know you are paying for the ad, so they perceive a certain amount of bias.
PR – Once again, it goes back to that third-party endorsement that removes bias and lends credibility to your story, product or service.
5. Creative vs. Nose for News
Advertising – A good ad uses colorful and descriptive language with a call to action. A clever campaign can motivate consumers to buy your product. Advertising can use different media such as commercials, print ads, Facebook ads, and microsites that can incorporate interactivity, fun games and calls to action. A good copywriter can create slogans that will stick with people for years to come and even get kids repeating a jingle or phrase. Many businesses leave their advertising campaigns to advertising agencies like Klientboost that have a deep professional understanding when it comes to advertising online when compared to an in-house marketing team within the business itself, this is completely dependant on the size of the ad campaigns your business wishes to run, as well as the financial aspect.
PR – PR requires creativity, but in a different way. In PR, you are searching for the news, looking for angles behind events and trends, anticipating events and reading articles and websites about your client's industry. You have to put yourself in the reporter's shoes. Is my client doing something new or different? Is it part of a trend? Why would someone care? With PR, you need a news "hook" to capture a reporter's attention.
Today, there are many ways to do that. Pitching to a reporter is just one. Today, bloggers, i-reporters and other social media channels are allowing ordinary people to report the news. For instance, if you want to reach women with children, you may be better off developing relationships with "mommy bloggers," instead of solely running an ad.
6. Marketing Research vs. Media Research
Advertising – Advertising is based on demographics and market research. An advertiser has to find the right audience and medium to advertise in. You don't want to advertise to women in a men's publication or send a direct mail piece from a retirement organization to young people.
PR – With PR, demographics and market research are important, too. But knowing the publications available in a particular industry or which reporters cover a particular topic you're pitching are also critical. Nowadays, with the Internet, it is easy to research industry publications and follow reporters writing about a topic you're interested in. Facebook and Twitter also are ways to learn more about what reporters are writing about and sometimes you can score a placement just by reading a reporter's Facebook or Twitter page.
7. Below the Fold vs Above the Fold
Advertising – Even though you pay a lot of money for a sizeable print ad, it will not show up on the front page of a newspaper (though I recently saw a sticker advertising Kroger supermarket above the fold in our local paper). In fact, many newspapers relegate ads to the lower sections of the inside pages. You can, however, have your story and photo featured on the front cover of community magazines, although you have to pay for this premium space.
PR – On the other hand, "news" always gets priority. A "newsworthy" story may lead the evening news or get top billing on the radio. It may also be featured "above the fold" in a newspaper. You can't pay for that publicity.
Are you using advertising or public relations to promote your product or service? Are you getting the results that you want? If not, call Alpine Communications and let's discuss. Reach us at 404-641-6170, or firstname.lastname@example.com.

JIM Iyke is on the news again and, as is the attribute of the Nollywood act, for the wrong reasons. Stories making rounds have it that the actor is currently enmeshed in a lovechild saga dating back eleven years. According to reports, eleven years ago, as an undergraduate, Jim was involved with a certain Chantelle Nkechi Benson, a UK-based lawyer, the product of which is a son.
Speaking via his publicist, the actor who is known to have a temperamental persona said that he is aware of the viral story currently making the headlines stating that this is not the first time that issues of this nature have arisen.
"Nonetheless, as a responsible man, he is always disposed to verify any such development(s) brought to his attention and when any satisfactory outcome has been ascertained, the general public will be duly informed without ambiguity. The only specifics at the present time is that at the age of 22yrs-23yrs old he dated for a brief period the lady at the centre of the story who subsequently left Nigeria for the UK," a statement said.
The actor denied that there had been contact between them ever since and by implication no linking of the existence of a living product of that encounter. "Since this is more about an innocent child than the star himself we advise caution and respect for privacy," the statement further stressed.

A Lightening McQueen hat for Izzy
We recently connected with Izzy's mother and learned about Izzy's fight. Izzy is a 2 year old little boy who was bit by a brown recluse spider, in August 2012, in his ear, and has been fighting for his life against major infections, including sepsis. We are in awe of how brave Izzy is, and we pray that soon he will be completely free of the complications brought on from this horrible insect bite. To learn more about Izzy, or to show support and send prayers, please visit Izzy's facebook page (link) and be sure to tell them that Knitting Rays of Hope sent you.
We found out that Izzy loves Lightening McQueen and thought even though it seemed like a difficult task, we were up for a challenge. We had to research what the perfect Lightening McQueen hat should look like. A hard task, given that it needed to be perfect for such a magnificent little boy. Then we had to execute our plan perfectly. I have to say the first execution was not up to standard, but thankfully, I think we got it right on the second attempt. I made a red hat on the loom and then crocheted the windshield, eyes, wheels and lightening bolts. Vanessa is my official seamstress, who sews all the embellishments onto the hat. The hat came out really cute, and we are very proud of the final result.
Here are some pictures that Izzy's mom took. In fact, she took many pictures of Izzy modeling the hat, but as busy as little boys are, these are the 2 best shots. 🙂 I am just so happy that Izzy is busy, given what he is recovering from. Isn't Izzy adorable in the Cars hat?
I love how we are growing. We started this grassroots effort making chemo hats for adult chemo warriors, when I witnessed a shortage of them during my sister-in-law's chemo sessions. We quickly expanded to include children chemo patients, and then a nurse informed us that babies in the NICU really need hats too. We have recently started receiving special requests for children who are bravely fighting congenital disorders, cancers, undiagnosed issues and spider bites. I think it's a natural flow for our team and am proud that we can expand to spread hope to all of these brave warriors!
PS- I just participated in a Link Up Party on Moogly with Izzy's Cars Hat.

Wink matches subtlety with functionality at the Opti Q eyewear shop
Since its inception in 1997, Opti Q has been renowned for its optical expertise and eye for quality. For her new eyewear shop in Menen, Belgium, founder and manager Greet wanted the interior to convey that excellence, while also providing a superior, relaxed shopping experience. To balance these requirements, lighting consultant Katja Van Hove gave a leading role to Modular's singular Wink recessed downlighter with its half-hidden, half-peeking-out design.
Opti Q is a real 'eye catcher' in the center of Menen. Located at one of the city's busiest intersections, the store's curved façade has been brilliantly integrated into the interior by FIVE AM architecture. The result is a shop divided into several zones: a 'reception' zone, a strolling zone, and a functional zone. The latter consists of testing and working areas and is mainly equipped with purely functional lighting profiles. The first two zones, however, have very specific characteristics and functions, and thus lighting requirements
Zone 1: drawing attentio
"The first thing visitors will notice upon entering is the curved, copper-colored wall," explains Katja. "In this zone, it's all about drawing attention, but not to the lighting. That's why we decided to highlight the copper wall with the Asy Wink 115, which has an asymmetrical light beam. This inclined recessed downlighter gently guides spectator's eyes to the eyewear collection. Thanks to its subtle design, however, the lighting itself remains largely invisible.
Also in the 'copper zone' are tables where people can try on sets of glasses. "Here, we opted for the Wink version with a symmetrical light beam. The lighting is more functional, as clients want to have a clear impression of what a pair of glasses will look like in daylight. Wink's excellent color quality (CRI 90) can really shine here.
Zone 2: relaxed browsin
Behind the copper wall, visitors enter a carpeted corridor where they can browse through the complete collection in a quiet and relaxed atmosphere. "In this second zone, we don't need to draw the visitor's attention anymore. Instead, we wanted to let the glasses speak for themselves by creating subtle yet highly qualitative lighting conditions. Again, Wink proved to be the ideal solution.
Katja decided to implement the Asy Wink in the corridor to highlight the collections on both sides of the wall. However, instead of using the normal reflector, she used the Asy Wink spreadlight: this Wink is equipped with a spread lens, which creates a very relaxed, soft wall-wash effect. "This ensures that no specific product is ever highlighted, while colors are always rendered as they would be in broad daylight.
A playful wink
In both zones, Wink's design perfectly complements the curved interior of the store without drawing attention. "For the client, the design was certainly an important factor, as was the playful 'wink' to eyes. But ultimately, it was the functionality and flexibility of the downlighter that allowed us to maintain uniformity in design throughout the entire store and keep the focus on the products themselves."

aaaaaaand….. we're back!
Aaaaaaand….. we're back!
Hello everyone! After a three month hiatus I, the great Orbax, have returned to absolutely consistently update the failed daily blog that our newsfeed has become. This time I promise to be more consistent… or perhaps just promise the definition of consistency, which could be updating or not updating.
You see, I just Kobayashi Maru'ed this thing proving myself to be a genius to the 5 people who will get that reference.
My ability to express myself via the written word has not waned in the last three months nor has my sense of self import.
I know what you're thinking… it's been ages since any updates and in all honesty not even the upcoming shows section has been updated in a while. This must mean that the Monsters have been up to something… and I'm sure that whatever it is it'll be amazing!
Well you, dear reader, are not wrong!
As you can see by my Instagram stories during that time I not only made a killer chili once, but that I also made some jokes about cats.
In reality, our annual holiday break was well needed this year and has resulted in some excitement for upcoming appearances across the globe. We've been doing a lot of admin over the break and as of right now it's looking like the Monsters are going to hit at least seven countries (visas and contracts permitting) over four continents in 2017 (and yes… one of them is North America). This year more than any other you have the greatest chance of us coming within 20 000 km of you (I am well aware that that is half the circumference of the earth… that's the joke).
I've also spent some time on a new act. Over the past fifteen years I've trained myself to perform every traditional sideshow act in the business. While many of these don't even make it to the stage I've prided myself on being an acolyte of sideshow (meh, gotta be proud of something I guess).
A few months ago I gave myself the goal of swallowing my first sword by the time I turn forty. As February gets closer and closer my failure looms larger and larger on the horizon. I've managed to consistently get the blade past the first of the two major throat restrictions, however that has resulted in a total swallowed length of about 2.5 inches. While not really that impressive on its own, I've been contemplating turning the resultant 5-15 minutes of bleary eyed gagging into its own act.
I can see it now… "Behold, the man too old to be trying to learn something new! Watch as his heaving body rejects the 18 inches of cold steel he attempts to jam down his throat! Marvel at the way in which he works on this daily and yet cannot spend twenty minutes typing a blog! Feast your eyes upon a man who should be more worried about the increasing loss of vision in his right eye than he should be about learning a stupid new thing that won't even go into the act likely!"
Well joke's on you, I actually can't STOP thinking about my increasing loss of vision.
But you know what? There's one thing I base my life on and that is that we live in a world where science will one day be able to fix everything that is wrong with me.
I just hope that day occurs within my lifetime.
This Friday I will be appearing at the Making Box in Guelph as part of their Royal City Heroes program. I'll be getting interviewed and telling some stories, and the talented crew of the Making Box will be doing improvs based on it. Facebook link here… should be a fun time!
I'm excited to see the improvs that come out of an interview primarily composed of the word 'fuck'.

I found their critique of a prevalent assumption that a modern 'guilt' culture (in which internal constraints influence behaviour) prevailed over an older 'shame' culture (in which community rituals of shaming enforced social norms) very illuminating. When one thinks about it, of course shame is an enduring human emotion and not just about traditional practices within small communities such as preaching over unmarried mothers or raising 'rough music' against transgressors against community standards. Within a given context, a raised eyebrow might induce tremendous social shame.
Their argument that
Shame... could borrow from old established ideas and idioms while still using the most modern forms of communication technology and social networks with astonishing effectiveness. We would further argue that any definition of shame must clearly appreciate the importance of dynamic interactions between people, institutions and ideas within its influence.seems compelling to me. Their recuperation of the importance of shame could engage in productive dialogue with Anna Clarke's very useful concept of 'twilight moments' in sexual behaviours (for surely a lot of that is about shame), and also cries out for further consideration of the role of the media in creating shaming narratives.

Annapolis Native Serving Aboard Navy Warship In San Diego
Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class James H. Green, Navy Office of Community Outreach | 2/16/2018, 6 a.m.
SAN DIEGO An Annapolis native and 2011 Annapolis High School, Old Mill High School graduate is serving in the U.S. Navy aboard USS Russell.
Ensign Demond Brown is an operations information division officer aboard the guided-missile destroyer operating out of San Diego.
As a Navy operations information division officer, he is responsible for 16 sailors who track surface and air contacts to assist the ship in anti-air and anti-surface warfare.
"I have a lot of pride in my hometown, being in the Navy, and the work that I do," Brown said.
More than 300 sailors serve aboard the ship, and their jobs are highly specialized, requiring both dedication and skill. The jobs range from maintaining engines to handling weaponry along with a multitude of other assignments that keep the ship mission-ready at all times, according to Navy officials.
"The success of our Surface Force ships is measured by our ability to provide Fleet Commanders with combat naval power at sea and to project that power ashore where and when it matters," said Vice Adm. Richard A. Brown, commander, Naval Surface Forces. "It's hard work to ready ships for combat operations at sea— it takes the talent of an entire crew working well together. I'm extremely proud of the each and every surface warrior's contributions to the Navy's enduring mission of protecting and defending America, at home and around the world."
A Navy destroyer is a multi-mission ship that can operate independently or as part of a larger group of ships at sea. The ship is equipped with tomahawk missiles, torpedoes, guns and a phalanx close-in weapons system.
Brown has military ties with family members who have previously served, and he is honored to carry on the family tradition.
"My cousins joined the military, and there is a lot of pride in that they joined because of me," Brown said.
Brown's proudest accomplishment was earning the Officer of the Deck qualification in a short period of time.
"Serving in the Navy has made me a more disciplined person," said Brown.
As a member of one of the U.S. Navy's most relied-upon assets, Brown and other sailors know they are part of a legacy that will last beyond their lifetimes.
"I am proud of my service to our country and the security I help provide," Brown said.

Every so often you hit upon an advert so lack-lustre, so pathetic, it undermines the product:
Yes: there's a fair example.
The Škoda Superb is, by all accounts and reviews, a very creditable piece of work. It deserved better than this mash-up.
For the advert, as presented here, is confused, confusing, disturbed and disturbing.
The location is somewhere between Mitteleuropa and Mid-Atlantic. The background is deliberately featureless, and could be anywhere between the more mundane bits of Canary Wharf or anywhere else not quite "prime". Clean, uninhabited, featureless, unmemorable. Which is fair enough, because we are meant to focus on the car, not its context (unlike those other mobile dream-works which need to feed off the Ritz or the Palais Garnier).
Now we have that spindly sign-post. We are obviously very lost, five miles or kilometres off the "Highway". One way we can head for the "Harbour" (British, not American spelling), another to the "Theater" (American, not British spelling). Then, again, we have the option of "Centier" (presumably, now in the American mid-West, looking for a bank).
Then the most unnerving item is the vehicle itself. Those spinning wheels suggest we are travelling at some speed, possibly on pavé. We appears to be on the right-hand of the carriageway, which suggests also somewhere not British. No problem! Except, where is the driver? The driver's mirror seems to suggest he or she should be sitting to the left — but not driver, No steering wheel. A totally automatic, human-free conveyance.
Nope. Doesn't work for me.

Footsteps - Jotaro's Travels
Tropic of Cancer Monument @ Chiayi Taiwan (嘉義北回歸線標誌)
The location of the monument is easily identifiable. Along Freeway 1 of Taiwan's National Highway between Chiayi City and Shuishang Township, a long red gentry beam arches over the road; this marks the latitude of the Tropic of Cancer at 23°26′13.0″ (or 23.43695°) north of the Equator. The monument and its park lies east of this highway.
Also at this position (on the side of the road opposite the monument) is a large red circle marker. The Tropic of Cancer which marks the latitude that divides the tropics from the temperate lands passes through the center of the circle. At the base are two brass plates with two footprints, one on each side of the latitude. One can stand with a foot each on these footprints; Jump to one side and "Hey, I am in the tropics!"; jump to the other side and "Gosh! I am in the temperate lands!".
This is the conspicuous building that marks the Tropic of Cancer. It is actually called the Tropic of Cancer Solar Exploration Center (北回歸線太陽館).
The latitude is called the Tropic of Cancer (also called the Northern Tropic) as when it was named some 2,000 years ago, the Sun was in the constellation Cancer (Latin for crab) at the June solstice, the time each year that the Sun reaches its zenith at this latitude. It is the most northerly circle of latitude on Earth at which the Sun can be directly overhead.
There is a large park in front of the Tropic of Cancer Solar Exploration Center; a shaded archway leads to the building.
In the park grounds are several sculptures attributed to astronomy, the above is that of the earth showing it at the center of the universe as believed by early astronomers.
A sculpture with spheres of different sizes, are these stylized representation of the different planets of the Solar System?
Another view of the "Solar System" sculpture.
Most interesting is this Titan II rocket that was used to launch the Gemini capsules of the Gemini space program.
A bottom view of the rocket, showing it's double rocket boosters.
Somewhere in the park is this granite cube with a marker; we assumed it marks the Tropic of Cancer; stood there to leave our footprints behind.
This Tropic of Cancer Monument at Chiayi was originally built in the 34th year of Guangxu Emperor reign, i.e. in 1908 the year of his demise. The current building was completed in 1995.
There are two other Tropic of Cancer monuments in Taiwan, one at Ruishui and the other at Fengbin.
21-25, Gexiliao, Shuishang Township, Chiayi County, Taiwan 608.
Hours- Indoor Exhibition: 9:00am to 5:00pm | Night light show: 6:00pm to 10:00pm

Looking for the perfect baby shower gift or expecting a new baby? These adorable baby bootie sandals are great for spring & summer and could also be worn in cooler months with a pair of socks!
Hand crocheted to fit a baby 3-6 months with sole measuring approx. 4 inches. I used 100% cotton crochet thread in frosty green (sage) and white and embellished them with satin ribbon & satin flowers with rhinestones. Because they are cotton, hand wash and air dry to avoid shrinkage.

You arrived in this new strange land, with no expectation for the time you're going to spend there, except that knowing you would love it. Because you love to travel. You travel with your heart and mind open for any possibilities, and that was it.
And then you met this stranger. You talked, and talked, and stared into each other's eyes. And before you know it, time has passed. And it scared you how much you two have in common. Your love for the animals, the ocean, the sand. Your dislikes for corrupt government, people who kill each other in the name of religion, people who threw cans at the beach and killed the whales. Your love for weird beautiful things. Your passion for life itself. And that both of you have huge crazy dreams.
All it took was two dates and you knew almost everything about his life. His sister's name, his cat's name and it's weird habits, his cousin's cars, his buddy's name and stories, his family tree. And suddenly, it felt real. Before you know it, you scored yourself a possibly once in a lifetime romance that is amazing. You wondered, then you asked each other, "Where were you my whole life? Where did you come from?" because this may sound stupid, but you don't get to feel that way for a stranger everyday. And you know both of you felt the same way, because you could see it in each other's eyes.
You love how his eyes sparkled every time you two talked about your crazy stupid dreams. About making the world a better place, one step at a time. About weird things that you believe in, that most people will find stupid but you love it anyway.
And most importantly, you loved the way he looked at you. The way he smiled and leaned whenever he wanted to kiss you. The way he smelled. The way your fingers intertwined as if they were made for each other. The way he put his arms around you and called you beautiful in front of other people, as if he was the luckiest person on earth and he would never let go. The way he made you feel like you're the luckiest person on earth.
Then you made a lifetime's worth of memories in two weeks. Because the first time you saw the way he looked at you, you knew that somehow, this amazing feeling in your chest, whatever it was, possibly would end. One of you (if not both of you) would have to pull the break and snap both of you out of reality, sooner or later. You would be back home, and you would be halfway across the world from each other. You have made so many plans laid out in front of you, and he made plans for his life too. And meeting each other was never in any of those well made plans.
That's why you didn't have any expectation. You did secretly wish, but you didn't expect.
Because even if you know that the best thing happens when you least expect it, you also know that some people were made to come into your life for brief moments just to leave you a lifetime's worth of memories. Because you believe that when two people are destined to meet each other, they will touch each other's life in a way that no one else will, and it doesn't matter if it only lasted a week or the rest of your life.
Because when he looked into your eyes, he made you believe that you are beautiful. When he held you in his arms, he made you feel safe and you felt that your crazy dreams are not so crazy after all. You always believed in yourself, but he made you feel like he believes in you too. And that is a beautiful thing.
He was one of the best things that happen in your life. And it was painfully beautiful. It still is, even after you're finally home and weeks have passed. Even if your heart aches, time to time from excruciatingly missing him, you restrain yourself from reaching out to your phone and text him. Because deep down you know that you should move on. And if it's meant to be, you will find each other again.
The saddest part of this kind of story, is that most of the times, the ones that we happened to have the strongest feelings towards, is the ones that we know we will not spend the rest of our lives with.
To M,
With utmost respect and love.
