A little splash of colour poking through as the snow begins again. It's real BBC Dickensian snow today, light and drifting through the garden rather than falling from the sky.
On our way home last night I noticed this beauty propped up at the side of a house up the street, a screech of brakes and a few silver tonged words and it was mine! The guy was going to skip it as he's had all new PVC installed.
That"s fine I guess but it seems a shame to get rid of something that gives so much character to a house. At the moment we have a PVC door which although lets in lots of light is ugly as sin and I've been wanting to replace it with an original since we moved in. Considering some start at £500 and go up to £1000 I feel smug with my freebee. I like that it is exactly the style that our house would have had and even possibly from the same place?
The only problem is that the PVC installers have split the frame at the bottom of the door (muppets) ripping it off the wall. I'm sure it won't be to tough to repair though, *hopes*. I wonder how many of these classics get skipped every year? I just don't get it.
Anyway who cares? all I need to do now is work out what colour to paint it.

Why can't I downgrade or cancel my account?
Accounts with overdue balances can't be downgraded or cancelled. Accounts with balances left unpaid for 15 days will be suspended.
Maintaining up-to-date billing information is the best way to keep an account active, and the account balance at $0. See Update billing information.
How do I check what plan type I have?
To check your current plan type, go to My profile . Your current plan type is listed under your name.
How does the 30-day trial work?
Explore the benefits of being a Hootsuite Professional or Team user with a 30-day free trial (Note: A valid credit card or PayPal account is required for sign up). The trial gives you access to every function and feature offered on the paying plan - with the option to downgrade or cancel at any time.
Note that only one trial is available for either the Professional or the Team plan. You can change from one plan to the other during this 30-day period but the trial will not restart.
Your Hootsuite Trial (free) will seamlessly transition to Hootsuite Professional or Hootsuite Team when your 30-day trial is complete, and the method of payment on the account will be charged. Ensure a smooth transition by keeping your billing information up to date. You will also have the option to register for annual billing at a discounted rate. Annual plans are a one-year commitment, or add-ons added mid-term will be invoiced and charged pro rata (from the sign up date until the end of the 12-month term). Premium apps are billed on a monthly basis only.
Important: Hootsuite will send you an email notification five days before your trial period ends. To avoid unwanted charges, downgrade or cancel your account at this time. Accounts are invoiced and billed at the beginning of a billing cycle for the upcoming month.
Downgrading from your trial means the loss of features not available to the plan type you are downgrading to, including additional social accounts, and their scheduled content.
I forgot my password. What should I do?
If you don't remember your Hootsuite account password, select Forgot password on the Sign in page.
You will be directed to a password reset page. Enter your email and we'll send you a link to reset your password.
If you don't see the email in your inbox, check your spam or junk folders. If you still have not received the email, please contact our support team.
What are the differences between the Hootsuite plan types?
A comparative chart between the different Hootsuite plan types can be found on our Plans and Pricing page. See also Overview: Hootsuite plans.
Does Hootsuite store my password?
At Hootsuite we take your privacy and account security seriously. Passwords are never saved or stored, and you will never be asked for your password.
Will my plan type change?
Hootsuite will not change your plan type without your consent. Hootsuite will only step in during situations when the Hootsuite Terms of Service have been violated. Self-serve terms. Enterprise terms.
Change terms by plan type:
- Hootsuite Free users can upgrade to a monthly or annually billed plan, and the changes will take effect right away.
- If your account is billed monthly, you can make plan changes at any time. One change can be made per billing cycle, including switching to annual billing, which would take effect at the end of the monthly billing cycle, or upgrading or downgrading your plan type.
- If your account is billed annually, you must complete your one-year commitment before switching to monthly billing or downgrading will take effect.
- If you are a Hootsuite Enterprise user, changes can be made with the assistance of your Hootsuite customer success manager.

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission is seeking comment on how well software it has made available that analyzes the coverage—and checks for interference—of digital and Class A television station signals is working.
On Feb. 15, 2013 the FCC issued a Federal Register notice—Office of Engineering and Technology Seeks Comment on Updated OET-69 Software—that identifies the new software as "TVStudy," and says that "it provides analysis of coverage and interference of full-service digital and Class A television stations" and "the Commission plans to use this new software in connection with the proposed broadcast television spectrum incentive auction (incentive auction)."
Therefore the "OET seeks comment on the software generally, as well as the identification of any errors, unexpected behaviors, or anomalous results produced in running the software."
The software was developed to support the DTV transition, and it has subsequently been used to analyze applications to modify the DTV Table of Channel Allotments, the FCC says. "As such, the software programs developed by the FCC for those purposes are based fundamentally on source code and data from the 1990s and earlier. Since that time, some of the underlying datasets have evolved or have been replaced.
Because users had enough experience to offer informal feedback on existing programs' strengths and weaknesses, the commission said it was able to develop its TVStudy software. "The new software operates on modern computer systems, and it runs much faster, provides greater accuracy in modeling and analysis and is easier to use and more versatile than the existing software," according to the notice.
In addition, FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn issued a statement on the software that says, "An important component of the proposed incentive auction is the repacking of broadcast TV stations, including the potential reassignment of stations to new operating channels. As the TV Study Public Notice points out, the software that the Commission staff currently uses to implement OET-69 is based on source code and data from the 1990s and earlier. It is critical that the repacking process incorporates the most updated and accurate data possible."
The deadline for comments is March 21, 2013 and the deadline for reply comments is April 5, 2013.

"I really believe that if the political leaders of the world could see their planet from a distance of 100,000 miles their outlook could be fundamentally changed. That all-important border would be invisible, that noisy argument silenced. The tiny globe would continue to turn, serenely ignoring its subdivisions, presenting a unified façade that would cry out for unified understanding, for homogeneous treatment. The earth must become as it appears: blue and white, not capitalist or Communist; blue and white, not rich or poor; blue and white, not envious or envied."

Connected to the foyer of an elegant luxury hotel, the Café de la Reina or "BUR-BU-JA-JA" adds a colorful and casual note to the complex. A cafeteria during the day, the space transforms into a sophisticated cocktail bar at night, the patrons immersed in iridescent aquatic colors.
A long curved green bar runs through the space, while "seaweed" camouflages the curtain wall and the mundane view of the city beyond, dissolving it into small fragments of an organic, aquatic world. Smoothly curved walls with reflecting belts, circular benches and round tables create a sensual atmosphere where space and movement interact.

This service station is located on the A-1 highway, one of Spain's 6 major national highways, near the town of San Agustin de Guadalix and approximately 30 km outside of Madrid. This architecture project is comprised of three curvilinear canopy structures and a rectilinear building which houses, in addition to the service station's facilities, a full service restaurant.
In the 1940's and 1950's the design of service stations by architecture studios exuded optimism and modernity; the structures employed cantilevers and projections that gave a sense of magic to the spaces below. Perhaps the difference between these service stations and the one we have designed is that ours has a more playful and contemporary character, thanks to the curved shape of the canopies. It is not only a shelter: it is fluid movement, clearly looking to the natural landscape of rolling hills in the distance.
In this project the program calls for the structure to act as signage, but while attending to this we also strived to create an architecture that is responsive and respectful of its surroundings. The canopies are seen from afar like birds or clouds on the horizon, hovering between the sky and the land.

The Quinta Mutis campus in Bogotá is one of the three campuses of the University of El Rosario in Bogotá. The projected building is located on the southwest corner of the campus adding almost 25,000 m² of classrooms, laboratories and common spaces. The building will replace some temporary structures built years ago, currently used as classrooms, adding significant new area and at a much higher level of amenity.
Moneo Brock has carefully designed the project to emphasize and update the values of the University, with the goal of opening the campus and providing it with a large agora having been priority throughout the project's development.
The taller volume of laboratories has been given the shape of a mineral outcropping that responds to the city-scape of Bogotá and its environment, while the lower volume adapts to the surrounding buildings, some of them of historical value for the city. Both shapes share common spaces and emphasize communication, facilitating the practical use of the building.
A large terrace on top of the lowest volume opens the cafeteria to panoramic views of Bogotá. This plaza-garden is not only open to the interior common spaces of the campus, but to the surrounding city and its inhabitants.
Sustainable design and flexibility were both high priorities in the design of the new building. This project is being developed by a multidisciplinary team based in Madrid and in Bogotá.

This sustainable proposal seeks to preserve and revitalize the ecosystem of the River Tajo, recuperating this natural area for the enjoyment of all citizens of Talavera pointing out the possibility this Tajo Natural Park, beginning in Talavera, can grow, adding territories and cities in such a way that, in a few years, we could follow the river from the Guadarrama mountain to its mouth in Lisbon.
The project is understood as a series of interventions, all consisting with this promising idea. The River's protagonism in the Talavera de la Reina cityscape will be reasserted. It will be made accessible for the enjoyment of all citizens through a series of interventions and activities that bring the natural landscape of the river closer to the city. Finally, this park could become a tourist attraction for Talavera at a national level, as a supra-municipal infrastructure, with economic and social opportunities for the whole city.
The proposed solutions and objectives include sustainable measures to improve water quality, recover the habitats and species of this section of the Tajo River, improve the landscape and enable an increase in the use of the river and its banks in forms commensurate with the conservation of its biodiversity and its landscape. Opening the project to citizen participation should furthermore serve to achieve greater knowledge of the river's history and evolution.
It is intended that the river be for "all" in the broadest sense; allowing the growth of the vegetation and the complex of habitats specific to the place, sheltering numerous autochthonous species of flora and fauna, improving and recovering the enormously attractive scenic landscapes of the river and its fertile plain, and allowing access by the citizens of and visitors to Talavera to the shores and islands for their use and enjoyment. In short, it is about achieving a Natural and Human River Landscape Park.

This topic was triggered over here https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-future-of-UX-UI-designer
I am pasting the same answer here for convenience. I have consciously left UI out and sticking to just UX. I have another post on Quora on this and the UX Vs. UI discussion.
My answer to this question is in two parts — a near future and a long-term future.
Short term (up to and around 2020) — very bright future. Demand for pixel perfect, usable and delightful UX demand is high, especially with accelerating digital transformation underway globally. Evidence to support is in this graph of top design-driven companies against all of S&P index –
Source: Job Trends Report: The Job Market for UX/UI Designers
If topline growth of marquee brands is significant, today, design is a buzzword among other companies too, who often are guided by the leaders. Coupled with digital transformation, where information technology is ubiquitous across most business processes, design is a key skill that teams within companies and service providers seek.
Long-term (beyond 2020) — This is the interesting one. If you subscribe to Clayton Christensen's disruption model
Source: What Is Disruptive Innovation?
Then UI generators such as https://thegrid.io/ are the disruptors who will likely be the norm (read this about Websites that design themselves on Wired). Handcrafted UI and UX design will likely transform to curation and product management aspect of UX.
IMO, the future of UX is likely to change — Self-taught machines perhaps can soon and will iterate 1000 times faster and produce far greater variety than human history has ever. In such a scenario, whenever that happens in 10, 20 years from now, UX design education and training need to transform.
If UX design in future were to include more formal studies (no pun there) viz.
- Study of cognitive neurosciences and human behaviour
- Study of ethics
- Product management — to envision for technology-aided interfaces stemming from AI advances, generated and unsupervised ML-based system interactions, predictive UX, personalized robotic services, and similar emerging tech.
In conjunction with this, I predict that engineering performance will come to fore and UX designers will work closely with technical architects, who together will overshadow the current marketing driven/business agenda that is at a core of decision making. My premise is that Process is given overdue importance over design action. Agile, Design Thinking, etc will have to give way to design execution. I do not mean the process will go away, but it gets more below the hood, and intrinsic to a flexible work culture of the digital information age. As for business strategy, its agility will be about how its customers will define for them…not in some wood panelled boardroom or digital wall Pods to aid decision making. Agility will be about how plugged in businesses are to their users without restrictive filters. Agility is not just the agile as a process, but an attitude. Instead of insights gathered out of noise-free data, the effort will be to remove noise from the analytics. Decision-making power will shift to customers.
Its against such a scenario driven by large-scale deployment of AI and related tech that the future of UX designers will unravel, as to what roles they will play.
And this about AI impact on UX Design has been discussed a lot. So has the example of The Grid, who I refer to as a Clayton Christensen disruptive entrant. In some ways, The Grid is the hero (like the mini steel plants and minicomputers.) Here is one great piece from UX Collective by Fabricio Teixeira — "How AI has started to impact our work as designers." Fabricio is bang on about the impact of AI and that its well-suited to do the chores like cropping images, maybe sort and tag images. However, I believe this is the sort of productivity we will see in the short term, not wholesale, but in those large agencies with large stable accounts and steady budget flows. My point is that in the longer term, as technologies mature, they will be capable of doing good design maybe with 1000x more iterations, A/B test, iterate again and publish widely. During the early days of WWW, we had designers handcrafting attractive banner ads. In the future, these may just be the output of an AI-driven ad serving platform that creates a campaign, negotiates and buys spots, runs the campaign, learns from it and repeats. Of course, the path to that has its trials and tribulations like Microsoft's Tay! These are those patchy early version prototypes that will eventually disrupt.
Instead, UX professionals in future need not be limited to UX or the stuff above line of visibility, which machines may replace. They ought to work closely with Product Managers and Engineers to reimagine product experiences.
For example let us consider the common, abstract five-star rating feedback method. This UX is a legacy of OLTP (transaction) systems in its thinking. Feedback is captured in a manner that suits how its processed, which is rule-based, rigid. Go with me and imagine how this feedback mechanism overhauled assuming the rigid rules are replaced by self-learning AI systems.
Caveat: I admit to an overly optimistic and exuberant assessment here and this is an area of speculation. I am informed by my own 7-year journey as a designer co-founder at a Hadoop based big data startup (see – ramblings from a failed startup journey )

"Niagara Falls is a most enjoyable place of resort. The hotels are excellent and the prices not at all exorbitant."
This observation was made by the famous American author and humorist Mark Twain in an article of his entitled "Niagara." Originally appearing in the Buffalo Express, it was one of a number of Twain's essays published in 1875 in book form under the title Sketches Old and New.
The creator of Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn and many other memorable characters, Twain probably visited Niagara Falls a number of times. From February 1870 to October 1871 he lived in nearby Buffalo where he was an editor and part owner of the Express.
An astute observer with a well-developed wit, Twain, whose real name was Samuel Clemens, offered a number of comments about various aspects of his Niagara experience. For example, he mentions climbing down a 148-foot staircase to stand by the edge of the river and then observes, "after you have done it, you will wonder why you did it; but you will then be too late."
After paying an admission fee, he listened to a guide relate, "in his blood-curdling way," how he saw the Maid of the Mist piloted downriver through the Whirlpool Rapids to Queenston on June 6, 1861. Twain noted "She did finally live through the trip after accomplishing the incredible feat of traveling seventeen miles in six minutes or six miles in seventeen minutes, I have really forgotten which." (If I may be permitted, Mr. Twain, it was the latter -SZ)
Twain felt it was "worth the price of admission to hear the guide tell the story nine times in succession to different parties and never miss a word or alter a sentence or gesture".
He crossed over the Suspension Bridge to view the Falls from the Canadian side. The bridge, an engineering marvel of the time, stood where the Whirlpool Rapids Bridge is now located. It was a double-deck span with trains using the upper level, while the lower deck was for carriages and pedestrians.
Twain found (or pretended to find) the crossing to be disconcerting, writing, "You drive over the Suspension Bridge and divide your misery between the chances of smashing down 200 feet into the river below, and the chances of having the railway train overhead smashing down on you. Either possibility is discomforting taken by itself, but mixed together, they amount in the aggregate to positive unhappiness."
As his carriage approached the Horseshoe Falls, which he describes as "stupendous," Twain was surprised and somewhat upset to find "long ranks of photographers standing guard behind their cameras."
Back on the American side, he took the Cave of the Winds trip – a popular experience with visitors still today. As he crept along the footbridges built over the rocks near the foot of the American Falls, Twain was awed by the "monstrous wall of water thundering down from above…I raised my head with open mouth and most of the American cataract went down my throat."
After he dries out, Twain's amazing imagination and sense of fun really takes off. He relates how he stopped to talk to a group of men who turn out to be ruffians. They "whack" him a number of times, tear off his clothes and then pitch him into the Niagara River. He goes over the Falls. Eventually pulled out, he's then arrested "for disturbing the peace by yelling at people on shore for help." The judge fines him but Twain has no money since it was in his now lost pants. A doctor's examination determines that "only sixteen of my wounds are fatal. I don't mind the others."
A few years later Twain (now recovered!) brings Niagara Falls into a short story he authored entitled "Extracts From Adam's Diary." Based on the Bible's Book of Genesis, it's a humourous account, written in diary form, of how Adam met various challenges in what he has named the Garden of Eden.
His first major surprise is a "new creature" with "long hair" that suddenly appears and, to his annoyance, starts following him around. Equally disturbing, this "new creature" who he refers to as "It," begins naming "everything that comes along before I can get in a protest." This includes the garden's great waterfall, which It names Niagara Falls.
It also objects to the name Garden of Eden, claiming that the area "looks more like a park than a garden." "As a result," Adam sadly says, "without consulting me, the garden has been renamed Niagara Falls Park. This was sufficiently high-handed, it seems to me. And already there is a sign up saying "Keep Off The Grass."
Eventually the new creature tells Adam her name is Eve and asks that he refer to her by that name or "she" or "her," but not It.
Eve then makes a request. We'll let Adam pick up the story: "She has taken to beseeching me to stop going over the Falls. What harm does it do? Says it makes her shudder. I wonder why; I have always done it – always liked the plunge and the excitement and the coolness. I supposed it was what the Falls were for. They have no other use that I can see and they must have been made for something. She says they were only made for scenery – like the rhinoceros and the mastodon.
"I went over the Falls in a barrel – not satisfactory to her. Went over in a tub – still not satisfactory. Swam the Whirlpool and the Rapids in a fig-leaf suit. It got much damaged. Hence, tedious complaints about my extravagance."
As in the Biblical story, Adam and Eve are eventually banished from the Garden of Eden or, as Eve calls it, the Niagara Falls Park.
Nevertheless, Adam eventually confesses he was mistaken about Eve when he first met her. He has come to love her and now admires "the goodness of her heart and the sweetness of her spirit," an agreeable note to end a Niagara tale like no other.

Best of Breast: news for week ending 7 November 2014
News for Breast Cancer and Cancer, from Google Alerts, for the week ending 7 November 2014.
[Apologies, I'm so behind in Best of Breast it's no joke. I've been sorting out personal issues the past months which have taken priority. Looks as though I'll be spending the festive season playing catch-up!]
One of the highlights this week is the proof that biphosphonates, used in breast cancer that has spread to the bones, can also prolong survival. But before you all go out and get the family pack, please note that one of the possible side-effects of biphosphonates is osteonecrosis of the jaw (localised death of bone tissue).
There's also more evidence to show that mindfulness meditation can affect the body at the cellular level.

Where to get your supplements
Updated 13 June 2016
Update March 2016 – For more information on GcMAF, please join the GcMAF and GcMAF Cancer forums on Facebook – they are closed groups, so you have to wait for your membership to be confirmed. They contain up-to-date information on sources of GcMAF, and also feedback and contributions by people who are using GcMAF.

Here's a list of where to get supplements from if you live in the UK. It is a work-in-progress, so if the supplement you're looking for isn't on this list, keep checking back.
The suppliers I have selected are the distillation of my personal research. They are the best value source of specific brands of supplements to date, but this is just my personal opinion.
Please do not take this list as set-in-stone, or the best of breed. New studies and new supplements and suppliers are always emerging, so please do your own research and shop around. If you would like to share your findings, please leave a comment below. You will be helping many cancer patients who are trying to make their money go further!
Most of my sources are UK- or EU-based. That's because shipping is usually faster, and you will not incur customs or VAT for EU shipping.
If you live in the US, then lucky you – you've got iHerb and e-Vitamins who sell discounted supplements. The problem with supplements in the UK is that most of them have to be imported, and so prices are higher. If you have friends visiting from the US, order your supplements from iHerb and e-Vitamins, have them shipped to your friends and get them to bring them over.
Ordering from the US and shipping to the UK: If you do order from the US, please be aware that shipping sometimes takes weeks, and anything over £17 (I think) will incur customs duty and VAT – I've been stung by this before. This usually takes the cost of the supplement well over what you would pay from a UK company. Also, please be aware that a number of retailers on Amazon.co.uk are based in the US and you will be hit by the same customs duty and VAT charges (on top of shipping!).
If you want your supplements delivered quickly, order from a UK retailer.
Discounts for bulk orders: If you are ordering in bulk, it is worth asking for a discount. Play the cancer card if necessary – supplements are expensive! Send the retailers a nice e-mail setting out your health issue and ask for a discount. Most will give you a discount. I have only been refused by a few who claim that they already offer discounts on their products (Healthmonthly.co.uk is one of them). Detoxpeople.eu have loyalty schemes and discounts – I have found dealing with them a pleasure. They are professional and knowledgeable, even if their prices aren't always the lowest (!). BTW, Detoxpeople.eu is the same company as Yourhealthbasket.co.uk.
Another company I have found who exceed expectations is Oriveda.nl – they are one of the best for mushroom extracts. Their response time to e-mails is fantastic and they are experts in mushroom extracts.
Please do not feel you have to take every supplement on this list. If you did, you would be jiggling around like a piggy-bank. It is just not healthy to overload your liver with too many supplements.
You will also want to vary your supplements on a regular basis (e.g. on a 3-week to 6-week cycle). Use your tumour markers as a guide to whether the supplements are working. You may also want to increase the dosage week by week, and then switch to another supplement. This way the cancer cells don't get a chance to build up resistance to the supplement.
1. AHCC (Active Hexose Correlated Compound) – Shiitake mushroom extract: Healthmonthly.co.uk – Quality of Life Labs AHCC Rx (500mg). This is a very expensive extract, so shop around. Another Shiitake variant is Lentinex which is a liquid extract. Currently under trial and not available commercially. Lentinex is manufactured by Glyconova. Contact: email@example.com
The Brachial Plexus Chronicles # 1 – the world is a dangerous place for a one-armed person
Continuing the saga of what happened after my mastectomy: I woke up from surgery to find that I couldn't move my left arm. It was numb and paralysed from the shoulder down. The surgery had resulted in damage to the brachial plexus, a very complicated branch of nerves that control movement in the arms and fingers. I knew of no one who had been through what I was going through. This series of posts is dedicated to anyone else out there who is going through a similar nightmare and is feeling like a boat shipwrecked on a deserted island … you are not alone!
I thought I was coping well, several weeks into the post-mastectomy period. Physically, I was doing fine, recovering from the surgery and anaesthesia. I was well enough to rush from one appointment to another. I even travelled to my appointments by public transport: the Tube and bus.

Is email marketing dead? Absolutely not! For my money, email marketing, is THE most cost effective and time effective way to market yourself and your business, to your clients and customers. If you're not using this fantastic method of building relationships with your clients, you're missing out on a HUGE opportunity.
Small business examples of email marketing that's working
Not convinced? One of my photographer email marketing clients, consistently gets over 60% of his respondents opening his newsletters and on average will get 2 new pieces of work as a result of the email that we send out. For Women Unlimited, 60% of the tickets that we sell to events and training are the direct result of the different emails that we send out. And finally for one of the delegates, from one of our previous email marketing workshops, had been sending out emails for months and getting no response and after the workshop, she was able to attribute 10 customer visits (from a list of 60 people!) to her restaurant after updating her email.
Do you make this mistake?
The mistake that most small businesses make with their email marketing is that they make their emails all about them. Does this sound familiar? If you look in your inbox, no doubt you will find a lot of emails from service providers and retailers that are totally focused on themselves. It's all me, me, me.
Look at your own behaviour as an email marketing recipient
What do you do when a marketing email lands in your inbox? 90% of you will delete it immediately. But if you track your own behavious, I suspect you'll discover that you don't delete all of them
Reasons people open marketing emails
Ask yourself why you don't delete them and you'll have your answer to great email marketing. You will decide to read the email for a few reasons, and if your email marketing fulfils one of these reasons, you are on your way to effecitve email marketing.
1. Curiosity: The subject line or first paragraph of text makes you want to open up the email and find out more
2. Value: You are expecting to get some personal value out of reading the email, whether it be an opportunity or knowledget or discount code or special offer
3. Relationship: You have a good relationship with the writer and you know that there will be a payoff of some description
4. Anticipation: The email is one of a series and offers some fulfilment of some description.
5. Right thing AT the right time: This is the magic of email marketing. When someone is regularly sending you emails, there will almost certainly come a time when you may need their product or service.
6. Interest: They are writing about something that you are interested in, whether it's events, news, education, new products.
7. They've asked for it: When people choose to receive your emails, rather than just entering all the business cards you've picked up from a networking event, you'll find that your open rates go up enormously. This is because they have decided that you have something to say that they would like to hear.
How can you apply this to your business?
These reasons are all well and good, but how can you apply them to your own business?
1. Ask your customers /prospects what they want: The answer may surprise you. One of the simplest ways to find out what you should include in your newsletter is to ask. What type of content would they like, what are the most important issues for them
2. Identify important times of year: For example Early Learning Centre always send me a 20% off voucher before Easter and Christmas. Perfect.
3. Give them information that they will value. Ie if you're an accountant, send them updates on how they can make the most out of their expenses in period coming up to tax
4. Share special offers: both yours and non-competive partners. If people know that something is coming that will make it financially worthwhile, they are more likely to open the email.
5. Be conversational: Emails are an informal communication method, so don't write it like it's a formal letter to a client. Show that you have a bit of personality.
6. Make it look good: In the HTML vs Text debate, HTML always wins in my opinion. Firstly it is a branding opportunity, secondly it helps you track who opens your mail and who doesn't, and finally it makes your business look more professional
7. Make it easy to read: This falls in line with the description above, however it's possible to have a good looking email that isn't easy to read. Your content should have clear sections, with clear text based headings (rather than image based)
8. Always and consistently add value through every email that you send.
Hopefully this will give you a good starting point for making your email marketing work for you.

I have a passion for sweet and sour combinations of food. Having inherited a greenhouse with in excess of 100 tomatoes and chillies I have made a number of chutneys and this to me is amazing and I have it with Indian food as well as cheese and salads. Neighbours and friends are complimentary. I love it as an alternative to mango chutney.
This can be adjusted for 'heat' according to taste. I don't like overly hot food so I have made it to suit my palette. Much depends on the chillies you use. Remember you can always add while making-but not take away!
Hi this recipe looks amazing and the reviews are good I can't wait to try it out for my Christmas hampers!.... I'm wondering how long can it will last so long as it's in sterilised jars and sealed properly Thank you Emily - 27 Oct 2015 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
I am pleased that you liked it. I must say that my friends have devoured the first batch. It's the best I have made! I also do a mango one which I must post as I love Mango chutney and it knocks the ones that you buy off the shelf for six. - 11 Dec 2014 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
thought I would give this one a go...and your right two chilli peppers is all you need if you just want that bit of warmth, the taste is out of this world, managed to make 5 190ml jars full out of this.......great recipe, cheers.... - 20 Oct 2015 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)

I sure do, and I'm happy to say that I will soon be back in business! Thanks to some clarifications given by the CPSC (ie. fabric, thread and yarn are highly unlikely to contain lead... well DUH), I will be re-opening my shop soon. I have some stuff in the works that I can't tell you about just yet. Patience, grasshopper. You can be sure I'll be breaking out the links and the previews just as soon as I can. This blog is a good place to stay up-to-date.
One of the nicest things about having an online business is meeting customers from around the world. That is something I have really missed. I'm really looking foward to having you all visit my Closet again very soon!

One of the most exasperating things you can do on the internet is to look at the comments section of an article about any kind of political issue. If you had no political knowledge and came to any given article, there is a good chance you would come away with one of two prevailing opinions. One is that the Right are all ruthlessly selfish backstabbing cut-throat cackling moustache-twirlers who actively seek other people's suffering for the sake of their own profit. The other is that the Left are all deranged irrational zealots who want to never pay for anything and for everybody in the world to march in step. Neither of these are, of course, true. The Right no more desire to succeed at the expense of others than the Left wish to force a false sense of equality down our throats.
Perhaps it has always been true that a prevailing delusion exists among certain sectors of the population that whoever yells the loudest wins the argument. Yet I am not simply talking about an argumentum ad nauseam here, but rather the framing of political discourse in terms so vituperative and irrationally hateful that any actual development of thought is impossible. Politics, such as it is, depends on compromise - realistic politics at least, I would argue - but in some that temptation which encourages us to eschew all thoughts of compromise and stubbornly adhere to a "my way or the highway" attitude can be overwhelming. What is the solution, therefore? To denounce your opponents. The Left are Stalinists, they're commies (as if communism was objectively evil), they're looters and lunatics and scroungers, scabs and robbers. If it's a libertarian stance on a social issue, then they're perverts, sickos, they're putting the interests of a minority ahead of the rest. The Right, in turn, are usually Nazis or fascists, they're slavers, gluttons, elitists and pigs. If it's an authoritarian stance on a social issue, they're backwards, brainwashed, swimming against the tide of history. Beyond being offensive or otherwise, they're simply irrelevant. Here the argumentum ad hominem rears its head: attack your opponent personally, and better still, make generalisations about entire political stances. It's pointless nonsense.
Perhaps if we could put all political extremists in one place where they could yell and scream at each other as much as they want and let other people do the talking elsewhere then our discourse would at least be more purposeful. Yet the point at which we would draw the line would, I fear, be hard to define. Each of us has in ourselves that temptation to take an extreme point of view. It might be stronger in some than in others, as a matter of disposition or circumstance, but it definitely still exists. People may be reasonable on some issues and extreme on others. So how do we remedy the situation?
We have to assume, I think, that the worst extremists on either side of any issue are a vocal minority who, for whatever reason, struggle to accept the opinions of others. This is probably, in truth, due to deeply personal matters of self-esteem and insecurity not ultimately related to the political discourse which gives them shape. That aside, how do we improve things for ourselves? How can we encourage ourselves to be more reasonable and more balanced in our political discourse? Personally I believe that the solution is education. We need to educate ourselves first of all on the issues of the day from multiple sides, putting aside any extremist arguments. Synthesis is the core component of compromise. Of course there will be positions which cannot be resolved with one another, but I am thinking of citizens who, in general, have comparable codes of ethics and are able to separate politics from personal considerations like religion.
Yet I don't think it's simply a matter of people doing their research. I think it's a matter of the way in which we're raised to think and to learn. There are, of course, deep-rooted socioeconomic problems which prevent all the citizens of practically any country having equal educational opportunities, but I nonetheless believe that discourse begins with education, especially in the humanities. In Australia our curriculum as it presently stands makes efforts in that direction - although there are currently worrying movements in the government suggestive of that situation being changed - and of course our teachers in the overwhelming majority of cases, as far as I am aware, are trained in and support a synthetic approach to learning. My particular sphere is tertiary, but having friends, relatives and acquaintances at the primary and secondary level suggest to me that it is reasonably consistent: not that there is no right way or wrong way, necessarily, to approach specific tasks, but rather that learning is not unidirectional.
Education in this way does not refer to book smarts or high marks. I am talking rather of exploring different sources and regarding different views of history, culture and ethics. It's not about a 'higher' education per se, but rather focusing on a rounded, robust education and approach to learning which leads people to seeing the world in new ways. This is one of the advantages, I would argue, of not exclusively pursuing utilitarian approaches to education. Equipping young people for the future is not simply a matter, in my opinion, of them getting a good job, but rather having a healthy attitude towards the world in general. This is the kind of attitude that is going to get things done to bring about a society which is more rife with opportunity and more comfortable for all, one which is not influenced by fruitless extremism, and one which is not constipating endlessly over the same issues. Preferably the challenges we face in the future will be new challenges.
Educated people are more open to a variety of ideas and opinions. They are used to scrutinising different approaches to problems and, hopefully, theorising consistent solutions which criss-cross various perspectives. In historical or literary criticism, for instance, you cannot simply shout down your opponent. Diverse points of view become the foundation of more synthesised solutions. The only room for extremism in the educated mind is as a source of ideas which must be either dismissed as pointlessly exclusive or harsh, or extruded into more reasonable territory. There is no room for hatred or space for personal attacks or generalisations in this kind of learning environment. Educated discourse depends on explanation, evidence and analysis. It also, I would argue, agrees on a common humanity as the basis for communication.
The whole point of better discourse is to reach better solutions. We need to accept that we can be creatures of compromise or we can suffer. That's the nature of the choice. We need to prevent voices of hatred co-opting our discussion, because we need minds which are both rational and adult to make decisions. As individuals, we need to resist that voice which tells us to make generalisations, to ignore that tiny seed of fear which wants us to shy away from reasonable opinions which are different to our own. Above all, we need to communicate, deliberate and refine in matters of policy. To be able to do this, we need to take time to learn. We need to be well-informed, to approach problems from multiple angles, and we need to help others to do the same if possible, and if not possible to ignore those loud but ultimately meaningless voices. This may seem like an unexpected approach from 'Opinions Can Be Wrong', but politics can be a matter of life and death, of suffering or safety, and this is where reasonable discourse really matters. It will hopefully help us to find solutions to the universal truth of human problems. Nothing in the world is every really ideal, but our political discourse definitely can be better if we try.

Pay Per Click Advertising - Reaching The Hard To Reach
First off, the shear numbers of people searching for B2B, Business-to-business, and B2C, Business-to-consumer information, products and services online is growing daily. Suppose your business has a unique product or service and would like to advertise to a targeted community. B2B and B2C online advertising provides the means of targeting a group of individuals that are searching for the exact keywords that you choose to bid on.
Targeted Demographics
Typically many businesses have very targeted demographics that they are going after. For example maybe a company is selling a product to the 18 to 24 years old group. Google offers site targeting. Using some of the tools Google has built into their AdWords program, an advertiser can discover sites that fit the 18 to 24 years old group and are part of the network of websites in which content providers are displaying Ads delivered from Google on their websites. Using some of the information we know about that group we can discover the websites visited on a regular basis. We know that the group is very involved with Social Internet activity. Once some sites are selected as potential candates for advertising on, an advertiser can go into their account at Google and find similar sites to advertise on.

Fairfield is one of the main routes in to Buxton, and for people continuing on the A6 towards Bakewell it's all they see of Buxton – and it's not the greatest advert for our lovely town!
So a group of local residents is getting together to do something about it. Ideas include:
- arranging cleaning and tidying sessions
- restoring the little park half way down the hill
- beautifying the space at the junction with Lightwood Road
- providing planters and hanging baskets where there's space for them
- cleaning and painting railings
- getting rid of the accumulated rubbish that's been dumped
- working out a way to deal with wheelie bins blocking the pavement
If you live on or near Fairfield Road, why not get involved?

Google is working on a new application, which is currently named as Google triangle. The app will allow you to keep a track on your data usage. Currently, it is in a beta stage and is being tested in the Philippines. The main feature of the new Triangle app is the ability to block individual apps from using your mobile data. The app is basically targeted to users who have a limited data plan and need to be aware of how much they have spent. Besides the app will also allow users to significantly control their data.
Google said, " Triangle is a new app being tried out in the Philippines that helps you better manage your data usage and block unwanted background data". The new upcoming Triangle app can give you a better control over your data and users can have a look at the apps consuming more data. You can also allow specific apps to use data for 10 or 30 minutes at a time, or always.
Google Triangle is not the first step towards saving data, by Google. The company also recently launched the YouTube GO app which gives users the ability to save data and perform better than the existing YouTube app on lower data speeds. Google also introduced Android GO during the Google I/O in May this, which comes with Lite apps installed, which consumes lesser data and power. They also introduced Data Saver mode on its Google Chrome browser which also allows in saving data while browsing.

- Title: The Beginning
- Series: Doctor Who Companion Chronicles
- Discs: 1 CD
- Author: Marc Platt
- Director: Lisa Bowerman
- Characters: Susan, First Doctor, Quadrigger Stoyn
- Cast: Carole Ann Ford (Susan), Terry Molloy (Stoyn)
- Date Reviewed on GoodReads: 08/08/2018
I listened to The Beginning at the beginning of this week, but it was a good and enjoyable story in the Big Finish Companion Chronicles line, even if the details are a bit fuzzy now. The Beginning starts with the Doctor and Susan on the run on Gallifrey, they find a TARDIS in a repair/junk shop and leave. The Doctor and Susan are refugees, fleeing their home, because "their home is no longer their home". Unfortunately, they aren't the only ones on board their TARDIS – Quadrigger Stoyn, who is meant to be dismantling the TARDIS engines is also on board when the ship takes off. They discover this when the TARDIS makes a rather ungraceful landing. Stoyn is not the nicest person, and he clearly buys the Gallifreyan party line – whatever it is. The audio doesn't make things crystal clear, but we can assume a few things: Gallifrey is now supporting isolationism, Stoyn and others have a negative, ethnocentric attitude towards "outsiders" and "aliens", and although it isn't stated outright – the Time Lords may even be racist in their attitudes towards others.
The TARDIS half materializes and half crashes on the Earth, but not the Earth we know – and aliens call Archayons are seeding Earth to make it a garden but with the precision of a formal English garden rather than the wildness of a forest. They are doing this from the moon apparently. At first, the Doctor hopes to obtain help from Stoyn (after all he should know how to fix their TARDIS), and a power source from the Archayons. But as it turns out, the Archayons are much darker than they appear, and Stoyn's price is higher than the Doctor is willing to pay.
The second part begins with Susan waking in a lunar ambulance that is heading to Giant Leap base. She watches the First Contact video shown to her by her nurse, and wonders where her Grandfather is. She can hear his warnings in her head, but she doesn't know where he is. The ambulance is attacked, the nurse and medical doctor are killed, but Susan finds her grandfather unharmed. They manage to warn Giant Leap base that the ambulance is infested with deadly parasites, but then they see Giant Leap base being attacked. The Blue Lightning clearly is an Archayon weapon. Somehow the Doctor and Susan get to the TARDIS and return to the Archayon base, which is now attacking Earth and the moonbase. Apparently, the Archayons are upset that their order has been upset by untamed life in the millions of years that they were frozen. Still, the Doctor and Susan manage to warn the Earth, which is well-prepared to attack back and even destroy the Archayons weapons and base. Stoyn, who has sided with the Archayons, is left behind and the Doctor and Susan leave in the TARDIS, which has a new power cell and is sort of working. They visit another planet.
This is a new and different take on how the Doctor and Susan left Gallifrey. I liked the idea of the two being refugees. The Archayons are unusual creatures – looking like glass peanuts, with the ability to flow together to form structures or do work, then flow apart as individual beings. However, in part two they become almost cardboard villains – so determined to not only seed life but orderly life they can't see the forest for the trees. Stoyn, whom I also encountered in Luna Romana is a weird character – played by Terry "Davros" Molloy – he flips between government functionary to nearly radical "anti-alien" activist in a sense. He's probably meant to suggest the type of people the Doctor and Susan are fleeing, but it feels off. When Classic Who visited Gallifrey, it was often shown to be a rather boring and stuffy place. But Gallifrey also seems to have an awful lot of corruption and political intrigue too. So in some aspects, the character of Quadrigger Stoyn doesn't quite fit in with that. But then, The Beginning clearly indicates that something's happened on Gallifrey – something serious enough that the Doctor and Susan are literally fleeing for their lives.

JPS Gets Healthier
Under CEO Robert Earley, the hospital system put its recent troubled past behind it.
Robert Earley's office on the main campus of JPS Health network in Fort Worth is surprisingly small for the chief executive of a $650 million, tax-supported hospital system with 4,500 employees.
One arm of the L-shaped configuration at John Peter Smith Hospital features what Earley calls a workstation. There's a basic table in front of an average-looking office chair. Papers and a few personal items cover the table. A small, hand-drawn sign reads, "Bryce's dad." (Bryce is Earley's daughter.)
A sitting area occupies the other part of the office. A well-maintained but obviously old rocking chair stands out near three cloth-covered wingbacks. Earley says he finds comfort in the rocker, which has been in his family for many years.
When he's seated there, an antique mantel clock—wound every Friday morning—is in Earley's line of sight. If he's uneasy for some reason or other, he sits and looks at the clock, often recalling a summer internship he had with a South Texas judge. The same clock sat behind the judge's desk.
The clock's deep chime—it sounds every 15 minutes—strikes people in one of two ways. It startles those who can't forget they're in Earley's office. On the other hand, visitors who have sunk into the easiness of the sitting area take the chime as a natural element of the surroundings.
It's that ease and comfort that Earley wants for everyone who enters his office—and his health system's 44 facilities. "We realize that when you come into a healthcare organization, this one or any other one, you're not going to the day spa," Earley says. "You're not going to take the half-day off and go fishing and relax. You're going to be in a situation that, oftentimes, just by its nature, is going to make you feel uncomfortable."
JPS, which has been guided by Earley since he was appointed its interim CEO in 2008, has three rules for everyone who works in the health network—including vendors and physicians who work at, but not for, the system:
No. 1: You own it. No. 2: You must seek joy. No. 3: Don't be a jerk.
Each rule is equally weighted, but No. 2 has an infectious, physical manifestation. Earley smiles easily. So does his head of operations, the staff at the information desk, and Raymond Tucker, who helps maintain the main campus' facilities.
"If you work in healthcare and you can't smile, go to another profession; don't work here," says Earley, who dropped the interim title in 2009. "We had 1.1 million 'patient encounters' last year. Of those 1.1 million people, I venture to say very few of them wanted to be here. We're not the Hyatt Regency; we're not the Omni Hotel; we're not the day spa. Nobody is getting out of their car in our parking lot, going, 'Oh man, I've waited for this day.'
"It's a tough time," Earley continues. "Even sometimes in the greatest of situations—of bringing life into the world—there is trepidation to that. So we need to make sure that when people come in that front door, we smile.
"We don't have to be hokey. We don't have to be singing songs. We don't have to have jazz hands. But I want them to smile because I want our patients to feel better even walking in that door."
Earley acknowledges that rules No. 2 and No. 3 haven't always been the law of the land at JPS. Not long ago, critics say, there was a get-them-in, get-them-out approach to patient service. Earley and his team set out to change that.
"We want to create a level of pride in the people who come here, and we want to create a level of pride in this community," he says. "I want to create a pride in people that don't even use our services. I want them to say, 'You know what, I'm really proud that we have a public hospital in Tarrant County that has this reputation.' "
Prior to Earley's appointment as interim CEO, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported on a consultant's findings, based on visits to JPS in 2007, that were critical of the hospital under then-CEO David Cecero, who would announce his retirement the following year. According to the newspaper, the consultant cited "filth, ineptitude, and callousness" at JPS, including delays in treatment, broken or missing equipment and medical records, and a dehumanizing environment in general.
Scott Fisher, chairman of the network's appointed board of managers, says that there was poor communication and distrust between Cecero's administration and hospital physicians, and between that administration and elected officials in Tarrant County.
"Pre-Robert, there was a sense taken that we're providing healthcare for the poor and indigent, [that] they should be content with the services they received because they were getting it for free or highly discounted," Fisher says. "Our approach since Robert took over as CEO has been that every person that walks in the door should be treated with respect and dignity and compassion and genuine care, so when they leave our hospital or one of our clinics, they feel that they have really been cared for."
Earley notes that in addition to its role as a public hospital—it's the sixth-largest hospital facility in North Texas, with 537 licensed beds—JPS is Tarrant County's Level 1 trauma center. That means that even people with more healthcare choices could end up at JPS if they're involved in a serious wreck or some other emergency.
Earley says the pride that his team is building goes along with the trust that the network must continually earn and maintain as it spends taxpayer dollars.
During the recent tough economic times, JPS has operated at a very thin margin of positive revenue, negating the need for tax increases, Fisher says.
"It has built a sense of confidence in the community that we are a very efficient operation. I went through the loss of confidence and now
have been here for the regaining of confidence. [Community and civic leaders] attribute that to Robert. I certainly attribute that to Robert."
Making the Rounds
If it's Thursday morning, don't bother going down the long, nondescript hall at John Peter Smith Hospital toward Earley's office. He won't be there. The system's VPs, CFO, COO, and general counsel also won't be in their offices or in the modest administrative suite.
Instead, you'll find them somewhere in the hospital doing rounds. The best bet will be to look where you would not expect them.
As part of rule No. 1, Earley and his administrative team do weekly rounds outside of their core areas of responsibility and expertise. Earley says it's important for everyone to take an interest in all areas of the system, and for employees to see the CEO. He also says rounding outside of one's reporting areas creates ties across the system, allows administrators to see how their departments touch others, and makes open questions about processes and services a normal part of the environment.
"Not having the background that some others might have is an advantage," says Earley, who earned a B.A. in political science from the University of North Texas and a master's in healthcare administration from the University of Texas at Arlington. "It allows me to ask questions [that people with medical training] might be embarrassed to ask."
Dr. Ron Anderson, who served as CEO of Parkland Health and Hospital System in Dallas for 30 years, recalls talking with Earley before Earley took over as JPS' chief executive.
"He was concerned with not being a hospital administrator or a physician," says Anderson, who recently became senior adviser to the CEO at Dallas' public health system. "He and I talked about the characteristics and the qualities you have to have. I encouraged him to take the job."
Anderson, who grappled with his own thorny, high-profile problems at the Parkland system, says Earley's personal and listening skills—as well as his ability to surround himself with smart people—made him a good fit for the CEO position at JPS. Anderson has since recommended Earley for several industry leadership roles, including the Health Industry Council and Teaching Hospitals of Texas, where Earley now serves as chairman.

Tributes paid to 'kind and thoughtful' Whittlesey rugby player Mark Collin who was killed by stolen car in collision
PUBLISHED: 09:55 03 August 2017 | UPDATED: 09:55 03 August 2017
Tributes have been paid to a 'kind and thoughtful' rugby player from Whittlesey who was killed in a collision on Tuesday.
Mark Collin, 51, of Stonald Avenue, Whittlesey, died at the scene when his vehicle, a green Nissan Primera, was involved in a collision with a black Audi S3.
The driver of the Audi, which had been stolen from the Northamptonshire area, has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and remains in custody at Thorpe Wood Police Station.
It is believed that two other people made off from the Audi and police are trying to trace them.
Peterborough Rugby Club has led the tributes, writing on their website: "Mark was a player with the Juggers and has recently been on tour with them to Portugal.
"He joined PRUFC two years ago, moving from Thorney to get more veteran level games but if there was no game he would play for any team that were short.
"He has played for the 2s, 3s and Juggers and if he couldn't get a game there he'd play for anyone else who were short, Deeping, Thorney etc.
"He will be sadly missed."
Gary Swan, former chairman of Whittlesey Junior Football Club, said: "I found Mark a very kind and thoughtful person who gave up lots of his time to help kids enjoy the game.
"Helping with a team, he was always there to help with a referee and also helping the club along to where it is today – especially when the field of dreams was being created.
"A sad loss – thoughts to Natalie and the boys at this sad time. RIP mate."
Louise Anthony said on Facebook: "Such sad news, thoughts are with all the family. RIP Mark."
Jamie Hayes, who Mark played rugby with, said: "Gutted ain't the word. I'll miss you my friend and all the times you gave me good advice and looked after me as a teammate and a friend.
"I'm glad I got to share the rugby pitch with you."
A police spokesman said: "Anyone with information about the collision should call the Road Policing Unit on 101 quoting incident 56 of August 1, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111."

Arkedo Series
Arkedo Series to be released soon on PlayStation 3
Arkedo and Sanuk Games are proud to announce that the critically acclaimed ARKEDO SERIES is set to bless the PlayStation 3 soon. Douse your console in a colorful world with this collection of 3 tightly crafted arcade games, and get ready for some serious old-school action!
First comes "01 – JUMP!"
A platformer where your 8-bit hero must collect bombs before they blow up, while avoiding nasty little bats, 2-way powered crabs, sharp stalactites, spikes from hell, and a bunch of other oddities. The game is so truthful to the old-school experience that it has no 'continue': once you've lost all your lives, you have to start it all over again – but in a good mood!
Then comes "02 – SWAP!"
A Match-4 game where you must clear blocks before they reach the top of the screen. Combos, bonus blocks, power blocks and time freezers will help you escape critical situations and dominate the five worlds contained in the game. And once you think you're done, you'll find out that there are still a number of things waiting for you in Challenge mode.
Last but not least comes "03 – PIXEL!"
The platformer that will have you finally understand why you bought such an expensive HDTV: the halo surrounding big fat pixels had never looked so good! You direct Pix the Cat (a character that also appears in the recently released PIX'N LOVE RUSH) through his nocturnal adventure in a pixilated world.
Initially published on XBox Live Indy Games as a "one game per month" experiment, the ARKEDO SERIES got scores of enthusiastic reviews. Jamie Davies from console-arcade.com called "01 – JUMP!" a "colorful and highly entertaining platformer that's crammed with charm", while Brandon Daiker of n-sider.com felt like he would best describe it as a "fistful of Altoids stuffed straight up your ass". The two other games received similar praise, although not with the same eloquence.
The 3 games will be available on the PlayStation Store soon. All of them will support trophies. Each game will sell for only €1.99, $2.49 or £1.74. The release dates in Europe and America will be announced shortly.

The forensic interviewer
By BBC Political Correspondent Nick Jones.
Politicians feared Sir Robin Day because unlike so many of his contemporaries they knew he had always researched his subject.
He had trained as a barrister and his forensic style of questioning, together with his undoubted showmanship, turned him into a popular but formidable interrogator.
His breakthrough as a broadcaster came in the mid 1950s when he was hired as one of the original newscasters on ITN.
Standing his ground
Instead of approaching ministers in the deferential way adopted by the BBC's broadcasters, who would ask courteously if the minister had anything to say, Day adopted a far punchier approach and always stood his ground.
After presenting Panorama in the 1960s, he switched to Question Time in 1979 and chaired it for the following decade. He also hosted numerous election programmes, including Election Call.
In addition to his work on television, he was a presenter on the World At One and it was during his time on Radio 4 that I got to know him well.
Throughout the 1980s my job as labour correspondent was to report on the industrial strife which became such a feature of the turbulent Thatcher years.
During the big strikes of that decade Sir Robin often walked down the corridor of Broadcasting House so that he could rifle through the files in my office.
Cliff edge
He liked to check the precise wording of the latest management offer or union statement and his careful research usually paid dividends.
I always knew I had to listen back to his interviews because frequently they would reveal a shift in the dispute.
Whenever I was interviewed on the World At One on the latest developments in the tortuous progress of strikes like the 1984-5 pit dispute, Sir Robin would check beforehand on the true extent of what I knew.
He used to say to me 'I'll take you all the way, that's just what I want to hear.'
I always admired his professionalism. It was as though he was taking me to the top of the cliff, but never letting me fall off the edge.
He wanted to serve the listener and instead of scoring points or promoting himself, he wanted to assist me, as a correspondent, to give the best possible assessment of what was happening.
Sir Robin's other great contribution to political journalism was his role as an early campaigner for the televising of Parliament.
Against the odds he fought for microphones and cameras to be allowed into the House of Commons.
Defender of democracy
Well into his seventies Sir Robin was still a regular attendee at political events and social events at Westminster.
He had always read the latest political book and loved the gossip.
He lived just across the road from the Houses of Parliament and will be remembered not just as a political interviewer but also as a stout defender of parliamentary democracy.
