The customer may demand a reduction in the payment due, or (in the event of material defect) cancellation of the contract , following unavailing expiry of a reasonable period of notice, if the subsequent performance shall be of no effect. The customer shall in addition have the right to demand compensation instead of the performance, according to the terms of subsection 9 hereafter, if the subsequent performance shall be of no effect. A period of notice shorter than 21 days from receipt of the returned goods will be deemed to be unreasonably short.

Delivery of an item free of defects (replacement delivery) shall in principle take place simultaneously with return of the defective item.
8.3 - The costs arising for subsequent performance, more particularly transportation costs, shall not be borne by us if the goods shall have been taken to a location other than the contractual place of delivery. The customer shall select the most reasonably priced form of transport for every consignment returned to us.

8.6 - Claims arising from a defect shall not subsist for:
- normal wear and tear as well as damage, breakdowns, insufficient operation and changes in the condition or operating method of our products which are traceable to external influence (e.g. impact, shock, vibration, water, fire), improper storage, treatment or installation, or other improper use, exceptional climatic conditions, particular reception conditions or operating conditions at the place of use;

The customer should enter the defective goods at the Internet platform "TekLink" (http://www.canvys.de/support/teklink/) and send them in the original packaging to the service address stated. We shall submit a quotation for repair costs, whereby in the normal case we can offer an all-inclusive charge depending on the size of the device, if it should appear after examination of the returned goods that the defect described by the customer is not repairable within the scope of guaranty claims. A 48-hour on-site service within the guaranty period exists for certain product groups expressly designated in our quotation, within the scope of which, the device will be collected from the customer's premises at our expense. We reserve the right to charge the customer for the costs of testing if the defect notified by the "TekLink" entry cannot be established or no defect is present, more particularly in the cases in subsection 8.6 above, whereby we shall be guided by the all-inclusive examination charge formulated by us, depending on the size of the device.

The recommencement of limitation applies, in a replacement delivery, to all defects in the new item, on a subsequent improvement, only to the faults complained about and not eliminated, and with the subsequent improvement, to newly arising defects.
9. General liability
9.1 - Claims against us for damages of any kind are excluded, if we, our legal representatives or agents shall have caused the losses through simple negligence.
This exclusion of liability does not apply to personal injury, on acceptance of a contractual guaranty or on breach of a material contractual duty. Material contractual duties are those where only the performance of such enables proper completion of the contract itself and on the observance of which the customer may and does normally rely, and the breach of which endangers achievement of the purpose of the contract.
Our liability on acceptance of a guaranty is limited to the scope of the guaranty and on simple negligent breach of material duties, limited to damages which are foreseeable and typical for the type of contract.
Claims based on product liability law remain unaffected.

Democrats Vow to One Day Be A Minor Factor in SC Politics
Jaded South Carolinians have been left even more stunned and amazed than usual today thanks to a bold statement coming from the State Democratic Party Chairman Carol Fowler.
During Fowler's comments to the press regarding President Barack Obama's State of the Union speech she dropped the following bombshell:
"I want to assure the people of South Carolina that our system, long utterly dominated by the Republicans, will one day soon present them with a series of choices between two candidates. The long awaited resurgence of the Democratic Party is just around the corner."
After her pronouncement Fowler was asked what would be a realistic time table for the Party to reach minimum standards of competitiveness in state politics.
Fowler answered, "We have to be patient and realistic. The Republicans have only been in power here for thirty years or so. The fact is, we have the third highest infant mortality rate, the tenth highest incidence of AIDS/HIV, the tenth highest rate of poverty, and the fifth highest level of unemployment. We have been near the bottom nationally in all these terrible categories and more for a long time, but these are just truths we have to allow the public some time to absorb. I can feel confident in saying that by the year 2040 we will be a minor factor within the context of South Carolina politics."
Recruitment efforts for that year's elections have apparently already begun. "We are looking at a strong class of candidates for 2040," Fowler continued, "Negotiations are ongoing with our top prospect, Richard Nixon's head. We feel the Republicans are going so far to the right even "Tricky Dick" will be considered a Democrat by the time we develop the technology to bring him back to life physically and politically."
Unknown and forgotten by many South Carolinians, the Democratic Party was once a juggernaut, attaining a stranglehold on the political landscape by presenting themselves as the protector of the white man against the fearsome mythical white- woman-molesting negro. During the 1950s the Republicans came to prominence by using an obscure political tactic known as "outniggering" their opponents. Shortly thereafter, the mule symbol of the Democratic Party became besmirched, unable to match their political opponents impressive ability to scapegoat and oppress.
Fowler admits that her Party has made some mistakes in the past, but insists the time for forgiveness has come. "We here in South Carolina believe in the Christian ethos and I think Jesus would want us to forgive one another so that we may have a two-party system."
Karen Floyd, the current chair of the Republican Party when asked to respond to the Democratic Party's comments was befuddled at the query. "Who?" Floyd replied.

Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer, when asked to comment on Fowler's statement, responded, "Democrats are like stray animals, if you feed them they breed. The last thing we need are a bunch of feral Democrats crawling through the dumpsters of South Carolina's Restaurants making the customers all uncomfortable and creeped out. It would be bad for our great state's economy."

$34 M Bond Refinances South Carolina Senior Care Centers, Covers Further Expansion
- By
- Oct 16, 2013
Lutheran Homes of South Carolina Inc., a faith-based, not-for-profit adult care and services organization, has secured a $34.45 million bond financing after collaborating with the South Carolina Jobs-Economic Development Authority (JEDA). The health facilities revenue bonds secured by the Irmo, S.C.-based organization will cover the costs of developing a new adult care facility and will also refinance Lutheran Homes' existing projects. The financing will also allow Lutheran Homes to retain 1,108 jobs and to hire a further 29 employees within a year and 46 within two years' time. The Series 2013 tax-exempt, low-rate financing is Lutheran homes' second bond financing collaboration with JEDA in recent years.
"Lutheran Homes has been able to lower its costs on earlier work and more efficiently pay for new projects as a result of this innovative tax-advantaged financing option," says Haynsworth Sinkler Boyd, P.A. bond counsel Kathy McKinney.
The new facility broke ground in late August at Lutheran Homes' Rice Estate location in Columbia. The $14 million development will expand the community with a 44-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation center. Part of the bond will be used to refinance the 113-bed Rice Estate, which already features a 36-bed skilled nursing and rehab center comprised of private, semi-private and companion rooms. The community also features 14 memory care beds and 35 assisted living beds in private suites. Independent living is also available at the Columbia senior care center in 30 one- and two-bedroom apartments ranging between 542 to 927 square feet.
The newly secured financing will also cover renovations at another Lutheran Homes location: Heritage at Lowman. The facility, located in White Rock, S.C. features 60 one-, two- and three-bedroom independent living units in apartment or garden homes that range between 970 and 2,323 square feet, as well as a multitude of enhanced independent living apartment units. A 176-bed skilled nursing and rehab center and a 48-bed memory care facility are also located Heritage and will be refinanced using the newly-secured bonds. Amenities at Lowman include a fitness center with senior-specific equipment, indoor pool, whirlpool, library, beauty/barber salon, chapel, gallery and onsite restaurant.
The bond will also refinance a 355-unit continuing care retirement community at Franke at Seaside in Mount Pleasant, S.C., and a 77-unit independent and assisted living community at Trinity on Laurens in Aiken, S.C.

Years ago for my first year theology class, I read Four Views On Hell. The alternatives offered were literal flames, metaphoric flames but eternal conscious torment, annihilationism, and a Catholic explanation of purgatory. I was convinced by Clark Pinnock's idea of annihilationism or conditional immortality. It contends that we are only made immortal through God's intervention, and the fate of those who reject God is extinction – not eternal punishment but non-existence.
It is a view that has some scriptural support, taking seriously the idea in the New Testament that without Christ we will perish, that death is the fate of those who have not found salvation. If not hopeful, it at least eased my conscience; the thought of an eternal torture chamber continuing on underneath the new creation is distressing.
An option not presented in Four Views of Hell, indeed an option that few evangelicals consider open to them is of hell as restorative punishment – or, to use a word evangelicals tend to be scared of – universalism.
A month or more ago I read an intriguing book called The Evangelical Universalist by Gregory MacDonald. Gregory MacDonald is actually the pseudonym for an evangelical writer who works for a prominent evangelical publishing house, and didn't want the rest of his work and his employers' work dismissed by association. Gregory of Nyssa and George MacDonald are two noteworthy universalists. MacDonald kept a blog where he kept his readers guessing as to his identity for a couple of years, assuring them he was not Rick Warren or John Piper, before finally revealing his identity a few months ago.
I have wanted to write about it, but I feel myself unable to; I'm not sure of my conclusions about the book. So I have called on two of my friends to offer their contrasting views of it. Please direct all your concerns about their heterodoxy or whatever to them.
Bill Barclay
The Evangelical Universalist is a splendid book. It offers both a theological and biblical framework for understanding that the New Testament actually affords us hope for a universal reconciliation between humans and God.
For MacDonald, universalism is an implicit doctrine in the New Testament, ready to be teased out, in an analogous manner to the way the Trinity has been developed as a doctrine. In particular, Colossians 'provides the contours of a grand theological narrative with a universalist ending. It is this basic theology that I suggest can form the framework within which the rest of the Bible can be appreciated.' (p.7) MacDonald makes important the verses which proclaim that one day every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord.
So when I claim that universalism is biblical, I do not mean that all biblical authors were universalists but that the universalist tendencies of some authors provide the big picture within which we can happily accommodate the teachings on hell of all the biblical writers. (p.40)
MacDonald obviously has a lot of work to do to go against the tide of centuries of interpretation of passages about hell and final judgement. He certainly believes in the reality of hell, and that is a terrible place we should do everything possible to avoid. But he argues that its function is not to punish forever but to bring people to repentance. (Yes that does sound a little like purgatory, doesn't it?)
MacDonald believes that Bible clearly teaches that God desires that none shall perish but that all should have eternal life. He doesn't agree with Arminian logic that people are able to, finally, resist the love and will of God. If God desires that all should have eternal life, then He shall bring it about.
Many free-will defences of hell make the importance of free-will so much that protecting it justifies anything, even eternal punishment for eternity. Many discussions of hell also insist that while God's justice – his need to condemn sin – is immutable and absolute, his mercy has its limits – that in the end, God's justice will win out over his mercy for lots of damned people.
MacDonald spends considerable time with the relevant Bible passages about hell and makes a case for how they can be interpreted consistently with (eventual) universal salvation. His proposal about the lake of fire in Revelation is perhaps the most intriguing. Who is it that is thrown into the lake of fire? The rebellious nations who have followed the Beast. Who is it that is welcomed into the New Jerusalem in the next chapter? All the nations! Why are the gates of the New Jerusalem open day and night? Who are they open for? What is outside the New Jerusalem? Well, the lake of fire, and the people leaving it.
Most evangelicals will find the idea of universal salvation utterly disturbing. Which says something of how perverted evangelicals are. One can't help but sense that most evangelicals will be a little disappointed if everyone gets to join the party in the new heavens and new earth.
If evangelicals are only driven in their mission efforts by the heat of the flames of hell, then perhaps their good news isn't good enough.
Will Shedd
MacDonald makes the most sense in this whole book when he writes on p.3, '…universalism is so far off the 'soundness' radar that it does not even register! Universalism is so obviously false that it can be rejected with hardly a moment's thought.'
It disturbs me, the plague of young 'evangelicals' who sound like liberals. The essence of liberalism is that whenever one encounters a biblical truth that one finds unpalatable, one reinterprets it in the light of other knowledge to make it palatable. Being evangelical means standing under the authority of the Bible.
You have to strain very hard to make the New Testament universalist, and MacDonald strains very hard indeed. Unclear passages, like the one in Colossians that he builds so much on need to be reinterpreted in the light of clear teaching of the rest of the Bible – which, in this case, we have so much of.

I posted over a year ago about noise at midand higher ISO levels with the 80D. It seems to continue. Is the attached shot (screen grab of the Raw file) typical of an 80D? It is very grainy shot at ISO800. By comparison the second shot (bird on a wire) is better at 320 ISO but still has what I consider too much noise. And yes I know I can post process but I don't want to correct this much. You can see the shots also at [Mod note: Removed link per FORUM GUIDELINES]
Thanks in advance
The second image is so strongly backlit that it's hard to make a judgement. But my first impression of the first image is that it's slightly out of focus and moderately oversharpened.
Can't be over sharpened as it is straight from Raw file. So slight out of focus makes everything grainy? Not sure I can buy that.
Are all of these screenshots? Upload a couple of converted JPG images rather than screenshots to provide a more accurate assessment.
How severely are these cropped? As ISO increases, the increase in noise and loss of detail severely reduce your ability to take extreme crops.
For an "old guy" Robert is right about a lot of things! The second photo is out of the question since it is so back lighted. And, I agree with Robert, the finch is a bit OOF. Even the finch has exposure issues. If you get these two issues sorted, I think you will be more pleased with the results.
"Can't be over sharpened as it is straight from Raw file."
Oh, yes, my friend. All Raw files are sharpened when you import and convert them to your computer. All Raw converters, DPP4, LR, PS etc, read the tag file supplied by your camera to make the image you see on your monitor. Whatever you have set is used.
You have to be doing some post editing because a 200mm lens will not make that shot (the finch) unless you are very close to the bird. Were you?
Same with the starling even with a 400mm lens. Also remember as distance increases resolution decreases. Closer is always better so if you were able to get that close great.
I appreciate the feedback. It is much the same as what I was told a year ago. I understand that some shaprning takes place etc etc. That would apply to both cameras. A slight off focus photo or backlit or any lit should not have as much grain in the photo as I experience with the 80D. Whatever exposure issues I have with the 80D I would have with the 6D but the 6D does not have this grainy/ noise issue. 80D has always had it. I should not have to be perfectly precise with one camera and not the other.
First of all I am totally trying to help you solve this issue so please don't take anything wrong.
OK, it would be a mistake to compare out of the camera shots from a an 80D to a 6D. The more 'exact' info you can supply the better. Can you do that? First I would conduct a controlled test to see exactly what is going on. A tripod, a stationary target, proper exposure and critical focus. Various ISO's and SS and apertures. That sorta stuff. Why? Because you can't use random shots of 'nature' to comprehensively judge your gear. Can yousupply us with that?
I can do some testing yes... and I do appreciate the feedback. I am about to travel for a couple weeks so will do it when I return. My main pooint is that straight out of camera in RAW, no additional processing, regardless (more or less) of exposure the 80D gives grainy / noisy looking results - consistently at higher ISO (higher that 320). I have had many Canon's over the years (Rebel 40D 60 D 70D 7D 6D) and this is the first I have seen it so, I have not changed, the camera did. I have seen online others reporting of the same issue with the 80D. If there is something I can do to fix it straight in camera I am all ears. I use different lenses with 1.4X or 2X and get same results. I do not have it with other cameras and my shooting style and lens choices would be the same. I stress it is straight out of camera in raw. Got nothing to with crop or post process. I can eliminate some of it post process (Topaz is wonderful) but that gets tedoius.
More later and thanks for your inputr all.

Jarosław Bothur - tenor saxophone
Michał Jaros - double bass
Arek Skolik - drums
Patrycja Zarychta - vocal (5)
Plays Mingus
By Adam Baruch
This is an album by veteran Polish Jazz drummer Arek Skolik recorded in a trio setting with saxophonist Jarosław Bothur and bassist Michał Jaros. Vocalist Patrycja Zarychta sings on one track. The album, as the title suggests, presents six compositions by Charles Mingus, which are interpreted by Skolik and his crew.
The music, as described by Skolik in the album's liner notes, is a spontaneous jam session based on compositions by Mingus, recorded live in the studio. There is not much one can add to this description honestly, as the music is completely straight ahead, except perhaps for the fact that it is performed by a saxophone trio, but that is nothing extraordinary these days. This album might have been recorded five decades earlier, and no one would be able to tell the difference.
All three players are highly professional and fluent and the execution is beyond reproach, as good as any American mainstream Jazz combo is able to perform, except that this is a Polish Jazz trio and one really expects to hear something beyond ordinary when Polish musicians are involved. Bothur has a wonderful tone on his tenor saxophone and his improvisations are inspired, Jaros plays excellent support behind the saxophone and Skolik is obviously a very sensitive drummer, playing both rhythm and melody, but there is nothing here that wasn't heard already. Overall this is a nice mainstream Jazz album, which Bebop lovers should enjoy anywhere in the world, but which does not break any new ground. Recommended to Mingus aficionados!

If you just got engaged, you might be beaming with happiness about the opportunity to enter a new chapter of your life with your significant other. However, the challenges that goes with planning your wedding dawns in. There are several factors to look into during the planning process. One of the most important of them is the decision on which wedding photography Sydney team to hire to cover your big day. It might seem like a minor detail during the wedding planning; however, it is important to hire the best team for your wedding because these photos will serve as your souvenir for the most important day in your life.
When choosing a wedding photography team, it is important to educate yourself about your options. More importantly, you need to get past the common myths and misconceptions associated with wedding photography. Here are some common myths and the truth behind them:
Myth 1: I don't need a wedding photographer. My friend has a DSLR camera and he can shoot the wedding.
The only positive aspect of this myth is that your friend's services are free. However, free does not always mean better. Your friend's photography skills are not the same as a professional photographer's – not even close. You want your wedding photos to become keepsake of your wedding day. Hence, you must choose the services of a professional to guarantee that the quality of the photos is topnotch. Aside from the photo quality, these are professionals with lots of experience in covering a wedding. They know what to shoot and how to get the best shots on your ceremony and reception.
Myth 2: It is too expensive and not worth it.
The cost of hiring the services of a wedding photography Sydney team is not inexpensive. However, it is compensated by the fact that they use state of the art cameras and other advanced equipment. This is to ensure that they capture high quality photos that are of professional quality. The combination of advanced tools and their photography skills cover the cost of hiring a professional wedding photographer.
Aside from the work involved in covering your wedding event, they will also be handling several other aspects of post-production. They will also be tasked at handling the photo editing and other post-production work.
Myth 3: I want the photographer to follow the specific style of photography that I want for my wedding.
Every photographer has their own unique style. Therefore, you have to consider that when choosing your photographer. Never ask your photographer to shoot in a particular style or follow the techniques used by other photographers. It is therefore important to look into the portfolio of a photography team prior to hiring them so you will know what to expect.
To save yourself the trouble of hiring an unprofessional and low quality photographer, choose only the most reputable services in Sydney. Hence, you need to learn more about the photography and video packages offered by Expert Photography in New South Wales. They use up-to-date and contemporary wedding photography styles to capture beautiful imagery and tell the story of your wedding.

Increased Police feet walking beats on the street
I used to walk to work every day from the Lower Haight to the Embarcadero. I'd head down Page street or Fell street and walk to Market, then take Market all the way down. I used to play this game with myself, where I would try and count the number of cops i saw on the way. Most days, it would be two. The same two guys walking around UN Plaza. It was surprising. I always expected to see more.
Ross Mirakarimi, apparently, agrees. Spurred on by the rise in crime across his district, he brought legislation to the Board of Supervisors requiring beat cops to walk the streets in eight districts. And then it got messy. Newsom and Police Chief Heather Fong objected to the idea. They claimed that more police walking beats would limit their ability to respond to emergencies, and that they already had a plan to put more feet on the street, they just needed more money.
The Supervisors met and voted in favor of Mirakarimi's proposal, and despite tentatively agreeing to sign the bill, Newsom vetoed it. Today the Chron has an update on the ongoing saga. The supes met again and overrode his veto for the very first time ever, and now we will see more police walking our streets, and hopefully making everything a bit safer.
2 Comments so far
Yeah, this was a huge disappointment, as I'm a supporter of Newsom and his veto of this was a slap in the face. A clear case of playing politics, despite overwhelming sentiment to get more officers on the street.
It's common sense and common knowledge that what is referred to as "Community Policing" works. It is more expensive for the community, and it exposes officers to a little more danger. Regardless, by increasing staffing slightly, which was part of the agreement, it will have an impact on crime citywide.
And in response to the opposition, there is no question that the day to day of operations should be left to the captains, but the counterproposal from Fong was dis-ingenious as it had no backbone if the force is negligent in implementation. Get real, it was the equivalent of "trust me", which we have, and so far the SFPD has failed us. So, I don't think so…
A bright side to this is that the captain of the district I'm in (central) sent out an email with the list of our beat officers- so at least I know their name, if I can't find them.

If you are a fan of Downton Abbey, and who isn't these days, you owe yourself some time with a great little book written by the present Countess of Carnarvon, entitled "Lady Almina and the Real Downton Abbey." The book is an account of the life of heiress Lady Almina, who in 1895 married Lord Carnarvon, to become the Fifth Countess at Highclere Castle, the real life setting for Downton. Lady Almina and her considerable fortune helped prop up the struggling finances of the Fifth Earl of Carnarvon and also allowed for some major improvements to the castle. The book chronicles the glittering life of balls and social events, along with the strict protocol and daily duties for both the family and the staff. With the outbreak of The Great War, the castle was turned into a hospital under the direction of Lady Almina, who treated each wounded soldier as an important guest. She and other titled society women worked tirelessly during the war, spending their own fortunes to run hospitals and charity works, and putting their lives in danger. The accounts of the horrors of WWI are made all the more grisly when placed in juxtapose with Lady Almina's previously privileged and frivilous life before the war. Not any family, upstairs nor down, was left untouched by the carnage of WWI; a war which in one day accounted for the death of over 60,ooo soldiers at Somme (France). The era is captured with unflinching and unsentimental prose, outlining the contributions of an entire nation staggering under the crushing toll of that war. Interstingly, the family at Highclere seemed to me like a microcosm of the changing world at large: the members of the family were involved in so many of the new inventions (Lord Carnarvon was a gadget nut, who loved the new airplanes and motorcars), Amina became involved in politics, Lady Almina survived the Spanish Flu epidemic, they entertained at dinner the likes of T. E. Lawrence and Gertrude Bell to discuss Middle East issues, and Lord Carnarvon was a partner with Howard Carter and financial backer for the explorations in Egypt which led to the discovery of King Tutankhamun's tomb. Later, the writer Evelyn Waugh coined the phrase "very Highclere," to mean that something had been superbly carried out. Lady Fiona Carnarvon has kept the bar high in her account of the indomitable Lady Almina and this very readable history of Highclere Castle. She expressed the sentiment that the family does not own Highclere, but rather the castle owns them in a sense, and they are merely tenants. The castle will endure, thanks in part to the popularity of the Downton Abbey show, and to the good stewardship of Lord Carnarvon and his family. It certainly has a rich history worthy of preserving.

Social media has come a long way over the past couple of years. Some businesses have successfully embraced social media for marketing, growth, new opportunities and interactive engagement with customers and buyers. But a number of studies published in recent months indicate that many businesses still have fears and concerns about widespread use of social media as shown by this sampling of findings from various studies:
- Research from Russell Herder / Ethos Business Law:
- 51% of senior management, marketing and human resources executives fear social media could negatively impact employee productivity
- 49% of this group claim that social media could damage company reputation
- 40% of companies surveyed block online access to social media for any purpose.
- Results from a poll of system administrators by IT security and control firm Sophos:
- 63% worry that workers share too much information on social networking websites
- 66% are concerned that employee social networking could endanger company security
- Approximately 50% block or restrict access to social networking sites
- Productivity, data leakage and malware are primary reasons for blocking or controlling access.
- A study commissioned by Robert Half Technology:
- 54% of U.S. companies ban workers from using social networking sites
- Only 10% of 1,400 CIOs interviewed said that their companies allow employees full access to social networks during work hours.
- A global survey by Avenade and Coleman Parkes Research identified key barriers to adoption of social media technologies as:
- 76% are concerned about security
- Senior management apathy at 57% of companies
- 58% fear using unproven technologies
- 50% fear a negative impact on productivity.
- A Nucleus Research survey revealed:
- Employee productivity drops 1.5% at companies that allow full access to Facebook in the workplace
- 87% of those who use Facebook at work had no clear business reason for doing it.
In spite of these fears and concerns, many business executives do understand the potential value of social media. For example, in the same Russell Herder / Ethos Business Law research, senior management, marketing and human resources executives perceive the following potential value of social media for their businesses:
- 81% believe social media can enhance relationships with customers
- 81% see social media value for building a company's brand
- 69% think it's a viable recruitment tool
- 64% think it can be a customer service tool
- 46% believe that social media can enhance employee morale.
This is an interesting dilemma for marketers. Most of us know and understand the huge potential of social media and social networking for marketing. Many of us have successfully used social media and social networking for marketing activities and plan to do more. If everyone in a company has some role or contribution to marketing and sales as they should, then how do we deal with these fears, concerns and apathy that will impede progress for making social media and social networking an integral part of a business?
Something else to consider is the impact of these fears, concerns and apathy at customer or prospective buyer companies. If over half of companies are blocking or restricting access to social media, it means the social media-based marketing programs won't reach at least half of the intended target audience. Good reason to continue using traditional marketing channels as the social media channel matures and hopefully overcomes the current fears, concerns and apathy.
Have you faced these issues in your marketing work and how have you handled it? Your comments are always welcome.

We are wrapping up our last week of Science before our week break with a ton of experiments using this fun book I found on Amazon.
Lilly is always wanting to explode something or making something messy, so this was right up her alley.
Here is the video of them explaining in their own words what is happening. They also imported, edited, and uploaded this video, which I am stoked about. Technology is super important in our house and they had so much fun today they said it felt like they had only been doing school for 2-3 hours, but we actually pulled in a 7 hour day!!! Which is SUPER RARE around here. Enjoy!

"Before Olga Sanchez came to our program she was struggling with her direction in life. She lost her children and didn't know what to do after that heartbreaking experience. The Greater Sacramento Urban League referred her to our program because she was on welfare. She was tired of working part time jobs and wanted her children to be proud of their mother. So, she decided to attend NCCT for training and to find a career. She showed up every day with a positive attitude and willingness to learn. While in the program, Olga developed proper work habits such as time management abilities, problem-solving, self-confidence and being a team player. Olga stood out as a student and was given the opportunity to try out for the Laborer Union (Local 185) and was accepted. Her husband Robert Sanchez, a NCCT student, was also accepted in the Laborer Union as well. Olga and Robert recently got her children back and bought a car for their family. Olga is drug free and on the right path for her future! I personally could not be more proud of the things she has accomplished. I feel that she has made the best of this program and used all the resources available to her! When Olga is between jobs with the Union, she drives our DRC West/Sac shuttle van!"

This homemade costume for men entered our 2013 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Justin, the 'Jareth the Goblin King' costume creator:
Im wearing the whole thing, This is david bowies character from the Labyrinth. There is a scene where he is this blind beggar and reveals himself to the main character to send her back to the beginning of his labyrinth. I did a bunch of leather work on a jacket I found at the thrift store and modified a shirt from tjmax. I made the puppet body out of foam and fabric from joanns. I made the hat out of wool felt and cast the skull out of foam to keep it light. i sculpted the face out of a moldable plastic fabric and the cape is also made from scratch. I made his leather shoes. I made the medallion out of sculpy, baked it then painted it. This was a fun costume and it got great reactions from everybody! Thanks for your consideration

It's true, the music I usually love is all about the beats. The groove. The snappy-sassy-pantsy-ness of it that makes me get up and do a small jig around the place. But some times, just some times its about melody.
Who am I kidding. Most times its about the melody. The stickiest music is usually equal parts soulful tunes and equal parts rhythm, I'd say. And the words? Words don't matter all the time.
Like when you're about to dismiss a whole episode of a spanking new season of a largely shitty show, based on one or two tracks that you heard. And in the nick of time you decide to pause and listen to a Tamil track. The one you'd probably not pick instinctively, because you don't understand the words, right?
But I listened to this one. And then something made me listen to it again. And again. And again. Until I realised I couldn't stop. Pretty soon it was on loop. On my phone. In my car. On my laptop. On my music player.
I've been listening to it every where. While roaming around the house, going about my life. It's blaring off dinky speakers in my kitchen as I cook. It's plugged into my ears when I'm reading myself to sleep. It's on loop in the car, where ever I go. It's on all the time on my laptop, as I work, browse, write.
I paused for a moment when I had a passing thought this morning. Maybe my neighbours think I'm crazy? Or maybe they would have huge issues being subjected to the same song, in an indecipherable language, approx 37642 times over a few days. But I brushed it aside. And then I hit play again.
Because it's just that mellow and smooth. The words glide effortlessly from note to note. The band is glued in tight. The song comes together like a power-packed punch that slams itself into my gut. Touching a chord I didn't know it could. And just like that the song speaks to me. It says something. It makes me feel something, does something to me. All without understanding a single word that's being uttered.
Really, words don't matter, I told myself. This is all music. All melody.
But just out of curiosity, I googled the poem, looked up the lyrics and a translation. Then I died a little, and when I hit play again, the next punch came harder still and it continues to hit me, in waves, every time the song repeats. It's just words, but it took the song from 100 to infinity on my imaginary scale of song-stickiness.
Music has that incredible capacity to touch you and move you, no matter what language it is in. No matter whether you know what the words say. Music speaks and some times that's all that matters.
Most times, that's all that matters.
This is all music. All melody. Except, there is this little added nuance. The words. Only words. Except, I now know what they mean.

Instagram For Business Is On The Way! Launching in Nigeria soon
Photo credit: www.techcrunch.com
UPDATE: Instagram for Business is now live in Nigeria. Check out our post on how to set it up and use the new features
Engagement on social media platforms is a lot of work, but considering Instagram's statistics, over 3 million Nigerians are on the platform and with over 1 million active users daily; it is definitely place to be. More than 500K images are uploaded daily globally so it's easy for brand information and ad related post to get lost in the middle if all the chaos.
Instagram is a platform that connects both the young and old. The young tries to show off their cool to their peers. The old are constantly trying to catch up with new trends. Making sure they don't get left behind has ignited their inner passions and talents, especially with being so creative with videos with the former 15secs clips, which was later extended to full 60 seconds. This was good news for both Instagram users and extremely good news for marketers. Nigerian brands that latched onto the trend early before it became populated include fashion brands like Yomi casuals, food brands like chef Ros and Doonie's kitchen, and also fitness brands like HIIT.
Making it even harder is the fact that organic impression on Instagram is solely based on the number of followers you have, so getting followers is important. A lot of brands have been doing so by posting visually engaging images with short and interesting captions, contest, and other means of engagement to keep current followers and attract new ones.
Marketers have often complained about how to optimize Instagram for either conversion, reach or both. But since the platform was not built for that intent, it's been hard to infuse ads on the platform. Since the acquisition of Instagram by Facebook in 2012, it has seen a lot of improvements. One of the first was integrating your Facebook profile to Instagram. And then an increase in the video time for 15 secs to 30 secs. Also, it's been able to integrate Facebook ads on the platform. Having heard of top global brands complaints' on the above issues, Facebook has worked on introducing Instagram for business, which solves some of the basic issues of advertising on the platform.
Here's an overview of the new features on Instagram for Business
Business profiles
A free feature for accounts wanting to be recognized as business on Instagram. This is a replica of the page type selection when creating a new page on Facebook. With the business profile, business can choose how they want their customers to get in touch with them. Either by a call, text, or email with a tap of the contact button as well as directions/store locators. This also grants access to insights and the ability to run ads.
As a digital marketer or as a marketer at all, insights and interpretations are everything. They not only tell you who is buying your products, but data on how they buy, and why they buy. Transforming all of these information will make you spend less showing your ads to people who may never buy, and focus your ad spend on those who are most likely to buy. Insights on Instagram will also give actionable data on who your followers are and which post resonates with them. Best part is the app is still on mobile. You can do all your business on your mobile phone!
The best part of promoting on the new Instagram for business is that you can post a content organically and the rate of response can determine if you should promote. If the content resonates well with them organically, it will do great when promoted and vice versa. It lets you turn good performing post into ads by simply picking a previous post, and adding a call-to-action. You can either select your target audience or let Instagram do the targeting for you. Your post will then be promoted for any length of time you choose just like you will do in a Facebook ad.
So how does this help your business?
With these new business tools on Instagram, you get so many benefits. First, you don't have to tell followers to click on a link in your bio to get to their website.Or have to copy and paste a phone number to call merchants, saving valuable time. You also get insights into the performance of your content. That alone helps you create better engaging content. And promoting your posts is now just a click away.
These business tools are some ways Instagram hopes to make growing a business on its platform easier. The tools (Business profile, insights and ads) will be available in the US, Australia and New Zealand first and should be in Nigeria before the end of the year.

The fundamental principles of Superfund administrative reform are designed to make the Superfund program work faster, fairer, and more efficiently.
EPA implemented a series of far-reaching administrative improvements known as the Superfund Reforms that consist of three rounds of initiatives and pilots that EPA officials developed within CERCLA's existing statutory framework. EPA's Superfund Reforms impact nearly every aspect of the Superfund program, addressing the areas of enforcement, cleanup, risk assessment, public involvement, environmental justice, economic redevelopment, innovative technology, and State and Tribal empowerment.
The first round of Superfund Reforms expanded public involvement and aimed to improve the pace, cost, and fairness of the program. The second round of reforms sought to administratively test or implement many of the proposal's innovations through both pilot projects and new or revised Agency guidance. This round strengthened and improved the program through initiatives in enforcement, economic redevelopment, public involvement and environmental justice, innovative technology, and State and Tribal empowerment. Finally, the third round took a "common sense" approach to reform and targeted the concerns of diverse stakeholders. Several reforms in this final round focused on making cleanup decisions more cost-effective and protective of human health and the environment. Other initiatives aimed to reduce litigation and transaction costs, and to keep States and communities more informed and involved in cleanup decisions.
The Superfund administrative reforms include these eight ongoing initiatives:
- Implementing the Superfund Accelerated Clean-Up Model (SACM);
- Accelerating the completion of site cleanup construction (construction completions);
- Strengthening the management of cleanup contracts;
- Promoting the enforcement of site cleanup responsibilities;
- Accelerating the cleanup of hazardous wastes at closing military bases;
- Promoting the development and use of innovative cleanup technologies;
- Enhancing cleanup compliance monitoring; and
- Improving the effectiveness of recovering site cleanup costs.

Catholic Dictionary
A schism provoked by Photius (c. 815-97), Patriarch of Constantinople, that paved the way for the Eastern Schism in the thirteenth century. When Ignatius, the incumbent Patriarch of Constantinople, rebuked the vices of Bardas, co-regent under Emperor Michael III, the prelate was deposed, and Photius, a layman, was ordained priest and bishop to replace him in A.D. 857. Pope Nicholas I excommunicated Photius, who meantime charged Rome with heresy for inserting the phrase Filioque (and from the Son) into the Creed. When Emperor Michael died, his successor deposed Photius and restored Ignatius. Both actions were endorsed by the eighth ecumenical Fourth Council of Constantinople, 869-70, which is the first general council, no longer accepted by the Eastern Orthodox.

Splats Grammar Slam
A SPaG Spectacular
by Paul Jenkins
"The show is a detective story where the hero is helped by the characters on stage and the children in the audience to solve an ancient riddle found in school. Using punctuation as signposts and what they know about spelling & grammar to solve poetic riddles – the characters go on journey to help them unravel the mystery. With some wrong turns and pitfalls on the way (things like the 'there, their and they're' maze or the suspiciously out of place family of 'Clauses') pupils are constantly looking for clues to help them. The show uses poetry and rhyme to help pupils remember key phrases from the SPAG test and hopefully have a lot of fun along the way."
Recommended for: Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar test preparation, Poetry reciting, Descriptive writing, Drama, Literacy.
Ages: Key Stage 2.
Amount of pupils: Up to 140 in one day (more on request) max 35 per class.
Availability: All year – UK wide. Advance booking preferred but can help with last minutes plans.
How a Splats Day Works
The show is composed, learned and performed by up to 4 classes in one day. In a magical show family and friends delight in what has been created in the end of day show.
Our directors deliver an assembly to brief your poet performers on the exciting task ahead and guide the teachers on prop making tasks.
Creating The Show
The show is split in to four sections with pupils learning a set poem and then composing a new original work with their Splats teacher in their classroom.
Rehearsals are active, fun and a real challenge for all.
Class sessions are ideally an hour long with 30 minutes for the end of the day show, but this can be flexible depending on your timings.
Making The Set and Props
This will be all described in our teaching pack which you will receive on booking but contains simple tasks designed to help enhance the action in the afternoon show.
The Show
The Splats Teacher acts as a Narrator that guides the play along and helps to cue the pupils where necessary. We very much recommend inviting parents and any classes that may not have taken part in the day to watch the show as it always feels better with a supportive audience!
No time for any nerves – just straight to the stage in a fun, light-hearted way

This is in fact a double double post. Double because it is composed of 2 parts and double because I am writing about two things today:
1 – Open Live Writer (OLW) – The open source version of Windows Live Writer – can be downloaded from there
2 – Cozyroc great SSIS components who had just saved my bacon (speaking of which I could use a BLT sandwich now that I am seating at 30000 ft above the north sea on my way to SQL Saturday in Ljubljana). Cozyroc SSIS+ components can be downloaded from this page
Along the way I will also comment the writing experience from using OLW.
The use case
A customer of mine needed help to determine the best way to do data alerts in the Microsoft BI stack. What they want to achieve is:
– have the Business defining alert rules without IT interference
– this rules will always return : a report name/url , an email address and the name of the email recipient.
– the data to get is either located in a cube or in a relational database
What they have at their disposal:
– SharePoint 2013 Enterprise and Reporting Services in SharePoint mode
– SSAS 2012 Enterprise
– SQL Server 2012 Enterprise edition
– the ability to copy paste some MDX or SQL queries that generates the alert rules.
– Reports built in Excel with pivot tables
For example once they have more than 10 unpaid bills for a given customer they to alert the Key Account Manager for that customer with a link to a report in an email.
My first idea was to use Reporting Services data alerts. Alas it was not possible for 2 reasons:
1 – data alerts require a data feed from a report, which in turn will require them to build SSRS reports for every of their Excel reports.
2 – data alerts don't work against cubes, only against SQL Server databases. (which I learned the hard way after recommending that solution to the customer)
The solution
- 2 SharePoint lists:
- One for alert definitions (MDX/SQL query, column name for email and column name name, report name and URL and a connection string for the query)
- One for saving the result of the query
- A workflow in SharePoint sending emails to the right recipient for every new item in the list
- a SSIS package reading from the SharePoint alert definition list, executing the queries and saving the result into the second list.
The problem
The whole point about building SSIS packages is to get the metadata of the source for your query before you can run the query. When the query source and text changes the metadata changes and the metadata needs to be recompiled. This cannot be done at runtime. The only way to do it was to build one data flow per possible query source, which is not terrbly dynamic and will require IT intervention each time Business build a new report. Not a great solution.
This is where I remembered Cozyroc great set of SSIS components. And particularly two of them:
– Dynamic Data flow
– SharePoint List Destination (and Source)
So armed with a NFR license of Cozyroc component I went on building the solution. I will start by saying that I'm in no way paid or endorsed by Cozyroc for writing this post. And the following are my findings goods and bads.
The use of the component is not very well documented on the internet. There are some videos by Jamie Thompson and some people from Cozyroc out there, but none covering my exact situation. Luckily the developers at Cozyroc are really ready to give a hand. So I got in touch with Ivan Peev who helped me a lot with the errors I was encountering and the way to solve them. Thanks for your patience Ivan !
The solution (again)
After installing cozyroc SSIS components (which was a painless experience) chosing the SSIS version to install for I created a new Integration Services Solution and had immediately access to all of Cozyroc SSIS components.
Figure 1 – Some of the tasks available
Figure 2 – the overall package
First thing first, I need a data flow task to get my data for the alerts out of SharePoint. My original idea was to have all the alert definition items into recordset to be able to loop over them, but unfortunately the components didn't allow me to save the recordset to a variable. So I had to create a table for storing the data. This is this table I start by truncating in the Clean up Execute SQL task.
The Sharepoint Data flow task is straightforward. (no auto-correction in Open Live Writer as it seems, nice!). I have a SharePoint Source pointing at my SharePoint website (via a Cozyroc SharePoint connection) and from the component I pick
- the list to get data from
- the CAML query to pass to the SharePoint list – great so I can filter columns and rows.
- the view to use when querying the list.
Figure 3 – Component properties page for the SharePoint source
As expected the columns I get back a list of columns and have to pick the ones I want to go on with.
I could have written a more specific CAML query to restrict the columns returned but due to the fact that it was a POC with only 10 hours for presenting a working prototype I chose not to. Lazy me !
So here I am with the columns I need for moving on. The next step is to create a SQL Server table to hold all these columns. Here is the script for that:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[ST_SharePoint_Worktable_Alerts](
[QueryLanguage] [nvarchar](4000) NULL,
[QueryText] [nvarchar](4000) NULL,
[Report Link] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
[Alert Name] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
[AlertDefinitionID] [smallint] NULL,
[Connection String] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
[Query Column Email] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
[Query Column Name] [nvarchar](255) NULL
Using an Execute SQL Task I can now read from the table above and save the Full Result set into a user defined variable of type object : User::AlertDefinitions
Now I am almost ready. Since I want to only handle one alert at a time, I need a For Each loop. I setup the loop the following way:
- Collection Enumerator : For Each ADO enumerator
- ADO object source variable = User::AlertDefinitions
- Variable mappings (I need to create a bunch of variables here – all strings except for the AlertDefinitionID) in the same order than they are queried in the previous step for ease of use
- User::ConnectionString
- User::QueryType (MDX or SQL)
- User::Query (the query to use)
- User::ReportLink (the url to the report that the end user should check when they get an alert)
- User::AlertName
- User::AlertDefinitionID
- User::ColumnEmail (the column name in the query which contains the recipient email address)
- User::ColumnName (the name of the column with the recipient name)
Figure 4 – a bunch of variables
So for each alert in my alert definition list I will get an iteration of the loop with these variables set to the right values.
Now keep in mind that what I want to do is to be able to execute a query against a datasource that I don't have some metadata about. I still want to keep track of my AlertDefinitionID, AlertName and ReportLink. So I will need to add them with a derived column.
Now it took me some time to figure that out but I think that the Cozyroc's data flow task plus uses a user variable to be able to dynamically populate the derived column component.
In the next blob post I will try to go into the details about the Data flow plus and how to configure the different components of the task.
Stay tuned for part II coming really soon!!

Sorry, folks - forgot to mention that this telecon time is different from the telecon time mentioned previously. Ivan changed some of his availability time slots and thus it made it much easier to have the telecon on Thursdays. The information below is the correct telecon time: > RDFa Working Group > Thursdays 15:00-16:00 UTC (10:00am-11:00am Boston local) > Zakim Bridge +1.617.761.6200, conference 7332 ("RDFa") > capacity for 10 simultaneous participants > I'll send an Agenda out on Thursday. I also meant to say that I'll send out an Agenda tomorrow (Wednesday). So, just to recap: Wednesday: I'll send out the RDFa WG Agenda Thursday : RDFa WG telecon, 15:00-16:00 UTC -- manu -- Manu Sporny (skype: msporny, twitter: manusporny) President/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: PaySwarming Goes Open Source http://blog.digitalbazaar.com/2010/02/01/bitmunk-payswarming/Received on Tuesday, 16 February 2010 16:11:37 UTC
