If you're not already devoting significant time and resources to developing a digital marketing campaign for your particular brand or website online, then you're missing out on potential future growth. Digital marketing is an important component of your overall marketing strategy, and the more effort you spend in learning the inns and outs of what makes a successful digital marketing campaign, the better the results you'll inevitably see. Here's a brief rundown of the essential elements involved in creating the ultimate digital marketing campaign for your brand and business online.
Develop a detailed and time-specific plan
It's absolutely crucial that you develop a plan for your digital marketing efforts if you want to succeed online. It really is as simple as that. As the old adage goes, if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. So sit down with your marketing team and focus on your specific goals for your next campaign. First decide on what you're hoping to gain from your efforts (e.g., more sales, subscribers, visitors, etc.). Then think about what strategies you can employ to help you achieve them (e.g., develop a strong social media presence, guest blogging, video marketing, etc.). Note that it's important that your goals be time-specific. Not only will it keep you motivated and on track to achieving your goals, but a deadline will help you judge whether a particular strategy is working or not.
Focus on effective SEO strategies
Focusing on Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is a crucial part of any digital marketing campaign. Effective SEO strategies will give your website a better page rank with the search engines, which will ultimately direct more and more traffic to your website. However, note that SEO has undergone some pretty significant changes in recent years, and you need to make sure you're focusing your efforts on those SEO techniques and practices that will help – and not hinder – your online marketing efforts. Speak with the SEO savvy team at Search Factory for help on getting your online marketing campaign off to a great start. Or invest some time learning SEO on your own. Either way, mastering SEO is no waste of time and guaranteed to help you with your marketing efforts online.
Master the art of social media
Finally, in an age where almost everyone has a Facebook account, it's important that you master the art of social media marketing as a part of your overall digital marking campaign. Social media is such a powerful avenue for spreading your brand all over the Internet, and no doubt the power of social media will increase in the coming years. Not only can social media serve as a great promoter of your products, services and special offers, but it can also help build customer loyalty by providing customers with a more personal, direct link to your brand. Customers can leave comments and have their questions answered on your Facebook wall for example, and this engagement between customer and company can help build a lasting relationship that will hopefully last for many years.
It's important to note that developing a successful digital marketing campaign may take a lot of time and experimentation. As you learn more about your customers the better you can tailor your marketing efforts to better appeal to them. So don't be discouraged if your initial plan isn't as successful as you'd like. Every step you take will take you closer to your goals.

Wes Anderson, famous for building his films like self-contained dioramas, has probably outdone himself with Moonrise Kingdom, inventing the fictional island of New Penzance and populating it with characters whose clothes, dialogue, and even choices in eye makeup seem designed to Anderson's precise specifications. Though the film's main characters are two children-- Sam (Jared GIlman) and Suzy (Kara Hayward)-- who have fallen in love and run away together, their actions are as precise and constrained as the puppets of Anderson's previous film The Fantastic Mr. Fox. There's real heart and the longing of adolescence in there, but you've got to be willing to buy into Anderson's many tics-- and that might be too high a hurdle for some.
On a second viewing I was still more drawn in by the adult side of the story, even though the grown-ups of New Penzance Island spend most of the story running around like crazy while the kids are the only ones who know what's up. Edward Norton gives his best performance in years as Scout Master Ward, head of a troop of Khaki Scouts who go on a rescue mission when one of their own-- Gilman's Sam-- goes missing. Joining the search party are Suzy's parents (Bill Murray and Frances McDormand), a pair of lawyers who have grown distant in their marriage, and the local sheriff (Bruce Willis), who has been carrying on an affair with Suzy's mom. All the adult actors except Murray (and Tilda Swinton, who eventually shows up as the fearsome Social Services) are newcomers to Anderson's hermetic world, and all slip into the arch dialogue marvelously, feeling like human beings who just happen to live in a universe very unlike ours.
The kids, on the other hand, feel like normal kids who become unnaturally restrained. Sam and Suzy's deep love for each other is established in a nice montage of letter-writing to each other, and when they escape to the beachfront campground they dub "Moonrise Kingdom," their tentative conversations and awkward bonding moments feel sweet and true. But when they run off to get unofficially married toward the end of the film, it takes their honest, childlike love and makes it something artificially bigger for the sake of a larger ending for the film. There are great moments of honesty sprinkled throughout Moonrise Kingdom, especially in the way both Scout Master Ward and Willis's Captain Sharp try to act as mentors to the orphaned Sam, but a lot of moving pieces of plot to drown it all out as well.
Alexandre Desplat's gorgeous score, mixed with recordings from the composer Benjamin Britten, remains one of the film's highlights, as does occasional narration from Bob Balaban, dressed like an old sea captain and providing both detail about the plot and ominous warnings of the coming storm that makes up the film's final set piece. Like all of Anderson's films, Moonrise Kingdom has the kind of confidence that no other filmmaker can match, and it's always a pleasure to slip inside his little world. But even on second viewing, Moonrise Kingdom doesn't have enough emotional rewards to go along with the impeccable design.
Though the Blu-ray release of Moonrise Kingdom comes with the DVD and digital copy and options for Ultraviolet viewing in the cloud, the actual bonus features are pretty disappointingly slim. The featurette "A Look Inside Moonrise Kingdom" is just three minutes long, and squeezes in interviews with the cast, behind-the-scenes footage of Anderson in his trademark corduroy suit, and a little bit of narration from Bill Murray-- all good things presented far too quickly.
Same goes for "Welcome to New Penzance Island," a series of featurettes narrated by Bob Balaban and focusing on four of the main players from the film-- Edward Norton, Bruce Willis, Bill Murray and Wes Anderson. The featurettes are shot as if they're from Anderson himself, with the film's music and style used perfectly, but they're incredibly brief and not especially insightful. And all of them were released online before the movie's release-- in fact, you can watch them here.
The highlight of the bonus features is probably the set tour led by Bill Murray, if only because he's such an odd and consistently unpredictable presence, and you want to hear pretty much anything that comes out of his mouth. It, again, is just three minutes long. What I wouldn't give for a commentary narrated by this oddball.
All of Anderson's previous features except for The Fantastic Mr. Fox have gotten lavish releases through the Criterion Collection, complete with commentaries and more extensive featurettes. I would assume the same will happen for Moonrise Kingdom, so if you're looking for more insight into the director's mind and the process of making the film, you might want to hold out for that release.

Real Estate Laws of Subdivisions
A subdivision is a technical term that means legally turning one parcel of property into more than one parcel of property. Before you can legally subdivide property, you must obtain permission and approval from the local government body that has jurisdiction over your property. Subdivision approval requires compliance with state law and local ordinances.
Subdivision Ordinance
The local government where you live will have adopted a subdivision ordinance that provides important details and regulations regarding subdivision plans. If you live in a city or town, then the city or town ordinance will apply, but if you do not live in the city or town, then the county ordinance will apply. Subdivision ordinances have both procedural and substantive requirements for how to subdivide your property.
Most likely, your local subdivision ordnance will require that you submit a preliminary application for subdivision approval. The local government staff will then meet with you to discuss your application and to resolve any concerns with your application. Staff will then grant you preliminary plat approval, at which point the staff will present your plat to the legislative body for final approval. Assuming the legislative body grants final approval to your subdivision plat, you will then need to record a copy of your subdivision plat in the local county recorder's office. The subdivision generally becomes effective immediately after you record the plat.
Substantive Requirements
The local subdivision ordnance will also include substantive performance that determines whether you are entitled to subdivision plat approval. As long as you meet the requirements outlined in the ordinance, neither city staff nor the legislative body can prohibit your subdivision plat approval. Most subdivision ordinances require maximum densities. For example, in one part of the city you may not be allowed to create individual lots that are smaller than half an acre, while other parts of the city may allow lots as small as one-tenth of an acre. The subdivision ordinance will also include minimum setback requirements, road dedication requirements, proof or provision of adequate sewer and water service, adequate lighting plans, and curbs, gutters and sidewalks.

Wait, who won what?
The politics of the battle over the Supreme Court decision that upheld some of the Democrats' historic health care reform legislation remains as complicated as the bill at the center of the argument. You would be remiss to expect anything less of a bill with 2,733 pages that exacted blood from the turnip of the democratic process that brought it to final passage in 2010.
Democrats cautiously celebrated, as is the Democratic style. Former Speaker Pelosi threw a party, President Obama was able to walk down "I Killed Bin Laden Lane" as Jon Stewart called the hallway to the East Room, to proclaim a victory as he put away another Republican onslaught and others on the left, including the host of this show, worried about the long term effect the Court striking the Medicaid expansion will have on millions of uninsured Americans. Hey, they're Democrats!The House Republican Majority leader Rep. Eric Cantor was so eager to lead the Republican cause that he actually anounced not one but two votes to repeal the bill in the month of July. First his office tweeted that the vote would be on July 11th, then the Majority leader announced it would be on July 9th. (Later at a press conference that was consolodated into just one vote during the week of July 9th.) With Democrats still in control the U.S. Senate the house vote will be a waste of tax dollars to air condition the house chamber in the middle of July just to show us all how much Republicans really hate this bill.
Mitt Romney beat the other Republicans to the microphone to tell the cameras he would work to repeal the bill on "day 1". Forget that Mitt Romney's day one is going to be the longest day in the history of the human race but what makes his statement completely farcical is that the President, no matter the party, is painfully impotent to pass or repeal legislation. (Again, remember the bleeding turnip.)
But some Republicans see the Supreme Court decision as a silver lining bigger than the cloud. Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli first reacted that " This is a dark day for the American people." After reading the decision he changed his tune. Erick Erickson of Redstate.com and George Will however waited to write after reading the decision and found the positives for conservatives. The Medicare expansion is at the mercy of many Republican Governors and the federal government's power over the states is not expanded under another commerce clause argument, loathsome to constructionist conservatives. George Will's column on WashingtonPost.com actually reads "Conservatives Long Term Victory." But its Kathleen Parker, who I never miss reading, who has the most stinging assessment of Democratic praise of the victory handed them by the Chief Justice "Liberals laud him - even though they didn't actually win."
Conservatives are great at this, Declaring Victory. Even if the win is muddled at best, it's still a win. Democrats not so much. Is it any wonder that "Democrat Victory Lap" turns up such disappointing Google Search results. (Seriously… exactly one story used the word "Gleeful") Apparently blood isn't the only thing you can't squeeze from turnips.

Honolulu, Hawaii - 06/28/2016 (PRESS RELEASE JET)
Mobile Massage in Paradise announces the official launch of their Oahu island wide, on-demand, mobile massage service. Oahu residents and visitors are now never more than two hours away from relief at the hands of highly skilled mobile massage therapists easing pains, wherever and whenever needed.
"Stress piles on with day-to-day family and work commitments. It is important to maximize the time you have to relax. Even visitors like to unwind after a long flight or activity filled days," says Mobile Massage in Paradise Founder Steve Francis. "Now, clients can easily book online for Oahu island wide massages delivered at a time and place that is convenient for them."
Forget about needing to call up to schedule your massage or drive anywhere. There is no worrying about having cash on hand or making a special trip to the ATM before your appointment. Mobile Massage in Paradise has an easy to use website where you can schedule your massage and securely pay online, in advance. For a 5-star spa quality massage, two hours is all that is needed for a licensed and vetted professional massage therapist to arrive in an Oahu home, hotel, vacation rental, or office.
"The ability to send someone a fully paid massage therapist, no matter where they are on island, in as little as two hours is an amazing gift. This is especially the case with the elderly, looking to improve circulation and range of motion, who may not have the ability to walk easily or drive. Oahu residents with aging or less mobile family members, really benefit from these added conveniences," says Francis.
So convenience is one thing but how do you know if you'll get a high quality massage? The company vets each therapist in person by verifying credentials, performing background checks, and selecting therapists experienced in delivering exceptional massages. For added quality assurance, a rating system is used and each therapist maintains at least a 95% customer satisfaction rating or is removed from the network. "Our network of independent licensed and insured massage therapists are among the best in the business. With an average of 10 years experience, many of our network therapists work at luxury spas and choose to work with us during their time off," says Francis.
The local startup provides the ability to choose the gender of the therapist, the length of massage, and style (Lomi Lomi, Swedish, Deep Tissue, Prenatal, Sports, Couples, Private Events, and Chair Massages). A popular option offered is to 'add on' someone for as little as 30 minutes after the primary person is massaged, which is great for introducing a family member or friend to a massage. A therapist will then show up at the designated location with a professional massage table, clean sheets, oils or lotions, and relaxing music. Clients can even rebook with the same therapist on future occasions.
Visit their mobile optimized website at any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to schedule a massage starting in as little as 2 hours or up to 3 months in advance. Massage therapists are available every day from 8 am - 10:30 pm. Gifts, discount packages, and recurring corporate massage programs are available. Pricing per therapist is $99 (60 minutes), $139 (90 minutes), and $169 (120 minutes).
Book online at www.MassageInParadise.com or by call 808-626-5222.

To bring in the New Year David, myself , Amanda and Brandon decided to have a quiet one and stay in a pension. Pensions in Korea are pre-booked accommodation similar to holiday apartments. They are larger than a motel/hotel and they are usually situated in beautiful surroundings.
Our pension was called 'Full House' and it was in Gyeongju. Gyeongju is located in south-east of Korea. It is around two hours drive from were we live, Changnyeong. Gyeougju is the old capital of Korea. It is famous for tombs, traditional temples, historical sites and museums. It is one of the most prettiest cities in Korea.
It was a fun evening and a great way to bring in the New Year! 🙂

This is an advertorial by Karatbars International GmbH
The Gold Rush was a historic moment in our history, signifying the value and rarity of this stone. Inspired by an overwhelming sense of promise and hope, thousands of families and individuals flocked to the western United States to get their hands on this precious metal. Decades after the original rush of gold-diggers, the value of this item has only increased. The overall stability and trustworthiness of gold has made it one of the most sought after investments available. In fact, the forces that drove this phenomena decades in the past are still active today. People who have lost money relying on the value of paper or the performance of the stock markets have been desperately searching for a better life. This precious metal, as it has done for ages, provides individuals with the financial security and protection that they desire.
Karatbars International is a company dedicated to providing people with an opportunity to own gold-bars and other items to help protect against the instability of the economy. Founded in 2011, this company specializes in selling small gold-bars and gift items of gold-bullion. They are driven by the understanding that investing in this precious metal can have a lasting impact on the lives of their customers. With that in mind, Karatbars International serves their customers with transparency, honesty and always guarantees fair dealings. The team is comprised of highly qualified and experienced individuals who are dedicated to providing support and advice to all of their potential clients. The company's headquarters are in Stuttgart, Germany. This is where all of the business operations such as customer support, delivery, packaging, communication, etc. are handled.
Harald Seiz CEO of Karatbars International: 30 Years of Experience
Harald Seiz, the founder and CEO of Karatbars International, has accumulated over 30 years of experience in the financial industry. He began working as an apprentice until multiple companies hired him as an independent adviser. Harald Seiz' expertise and knowledge helped to grow many companies towards success. Harald Seiz has always had a vision that everyone should have the opportunity to obtain solid financial stability. Furthermore, he is inspired to help improve the lives of others by protecting them against the potential of financial ruin. To Seiz, investing in small amounts of gold is the most effective way to protect against the constantly changing economy. Harald Seiz advises all people to focus on their goals instead of harping on what they are lacking. In this way, goals will be much easier to realize as a path will clear within time.

Super Bowl cameraman juggles to catch jingle
Recommended Video:
At crunch time at the Super Bowl today, he'll rely on the confidence gained from having been in the same precarious situation many times before. To avoid defeat, he'll rely on his savvy, quickness, toughness and anticipation, along with his vision of the field. Millions of dollars are riding on his shoulders.
Tom Brady? Eli Manning?
No, he's Mark Allan, a stocky, 61-year-old San Francisco native who lives in Inverness. He has wielded a camera for 40 years. Today, the freelance television cameraman's mission, as at many previous Super Bowls, is to capture the key player of the victorious team in the frenzied seconds immediately after the clock has run out.
Someday, if he were so inclined, his epitaph could echo the triumphant words he and his crew elicit from the day's hero: "I'm going to Disneyland!"
In the commercial that will further immortalize the lucky player, an off-camera voice says, "(Player's name), you've just won the Super Bowl. What are you going to do now?"
American sports have some oddball customs in their victory celebrations. The Indy 500 winner chugs a bottle of milk. World Series winners shower each other with Champagne, and the empty bottles fetch thousands of dollars on the Internet. College football rivalries feature such trophies as an old oaken bucket, an old brass spittoon, a couple of cannons and, of course, an ax.
To be sure, the Disneyland phrase is merely a commercial jingle, no more spontaneous than a pregame flyover by F-18s. But it has become an NFL tradition, and players (and their agents) have lobbied for the privilege. It has spawned numerous parodies, some in Disney's own films.
Allan has shot 18 of the spots, beginning with New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms in 1987. Disney hires NFL Films to shoot them, then pays a fortune to run the commercials on prime time for several days after the Super Bowl.
The player utters not only "I'm going to Disneyland!" but also "I'm going to Disney World!" for the sake of East Coast audiences. He is asked by a director to repeat each version three or four times, while Allan implores him, "Look in the lens."
Allan has no idea how much the player earns, but he says the player is obligated to show up at one of the Disney theme parks soon after the Super Bowl, preferably with a horde of smiling offspring, so that he and his family can be treated like royalty.
Allan is concerned strictly with the quality of the shot. Helmets on are better than helmets off, he says; the appearance of spontaneity trumps full-face recognition. Helmets are way better than those baseball caps that instantly materialize after big football games. And a moving hero is a better shot than a standing one.
Disney officials decide the player, often in the final minute of play. The chosen one, as Allan points out, isn't always the game's Most Valuable Player. And sometimes a coach is involved. Colts running back Dominic Rhodes was paired with coach Tony Dungy last year, making this the rare national TV commercial on which Peyton Manning, the MVP, has not appeared.
Like Manning, Allan was shut out on that spot, through no fault of his own. In a Miami downpour, his lens had fogged up, so he couldn't see what he was shooting. What's worse, one of the lights being used to illuminate the stage for the trophy ceremony "was shining right between Dungy and Rhodes right down the barrel of my lens, hitting the fog and flaring everything up."
His shot was ruined, but another NFL Films crew got the shot and saved the day.
Rhodes joined the Raiders last off-season. In fact, you could win more than a few bar bets on the premise that both the 49ers and Raiders, despite the depths to which they have fallen, currently boast players who have basked in the "I'm going to Disneyland" spotlight.
In 2001, Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis was chosen as the game's MVP but was snubbed by Disney, apparently because he had been indicted for murder a year earlier and eventually pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of obstruction of justice. Instead, Disney chose quarterback Trent Dilfer, now with the 49ers.
Two players were shot for the spot in 1997, when Green Bay beat New England 35-21. Quarterback Brett Favre had a big day, but Desmond Howard was the MVP because of his 99-yard kickoff return. As Allan was shooting Howard, he not only said the lines but then performed a highly photogenic Lambeau Leap into the fans at the Louisiana Superdome. As a result, if it were possible to be left on the cutting-room floor in a world of video, that's where Favre was.
The 49ers' first Super Bowl, in 1982, was also a big occasion for Allan and his new bride, TV producer/writer Susan Giacomini Allan. They were spending part of their honeymoon in snowy Pontiac, Mich., where he was assigned to shoot broadcasters Pat Summerall and John Madden for an NFL Films feature on the how CBS covered the game.
Leaning over the edge of the booth for his shot, Allan inadvertently obscured Summerall's view of a Bengals' touchdown, causing him to misidentify the scorer.
Allan and his wife were working as a team trying to track down John Elway for the Disney spot in Super Bowl XXXIII, Elway's final NFL game. Trouble was, so were a few thousand other media people.
"We're in this sea of humanity," Allan said. "Susan has me by the belt, and here's Bubby Brister, the backup quarterback, kind of protecting John. She yells at Brister, 'We're with Disney! We've gotta get John!' And Bubby really gets into it. He's now doing crowd control for us. John's moving. His helmet is still on. That was one of the best ones we did."
Allan has been shot at while taping segments in helicopters for CBS' "60 Minutes" and ABC's "20/20." He also was rammed by Raiders cornerback Dwayne O'Steen at the 1980 AFC Championship Game. "I never felt the hit, but I remember seeing my feet up in the air," he said.
Getting ready to shoot Washington's Mark Rypien for Disney after Super Bowl XXVI in 1992, Allan received "a crushing blow" in the back, then another hit. He recovered, got the quarterback to repeat his lines while holding his young daughter - "a million times better." Then he turned around to find that the photographer who had hit him had been decked, probably by a security guard. Like the game itself, this can be a violent assignment.
It can also be nerve-racking. After the 49ers dusted Denver 55-10 in 1990, Joe Montana had done the Disneyland lines and gotten through one Disney World try. Then, a cool eye in the midst of chaos, Montana noticed that the cable between Allan's camera and the sound man's equipment was severed.
As the sound man tried to assess the damage, Montana raced off. Allan said he and his crew were "sweating bullets" until they reached their viewing station and found they had just enough good material. Otherwise, they would have had to track Montana down in the locker room, where the shot would have looked too staged.
Allan's most memorable Super Bowl experience was the only spot in which the player didn't utter the word "Disney." In honor of the troops fighting in Kuwait, the MVP of the Giants-Bills game in 1991 was going to be given a small U.S. flag and say, "I'm dedicating this one to our troops."
With New York ahead 20-19, Buffalo's Scott Norwood lined up a 48-yard field goal try in the closing seconds. Allan's instructions were to grab Giants running back Ottis Anderson if the Bills didn't pull the game out.
Norwood's kick was wide right, so Allan dutifully scrambled across the field. His director handed the flag to Anderson, who performed his lines flawlessly.
"I feel a tap on my shoulder," Allan said. "It's Bart Oates, the (Giants) center. He says, 'Get off the field.' I look at the clock, and there's four seconds left. (Jeff) Hostetler's still got to kneel down.
"I look around, and there's 11 Bills and 11 Giants, myself, my sound man and the Disney director in the middle of the field. What are you going to do? You can't crawl into a hole."
Allan ran to the end zone and "hid behind the goal post," he said.
The embarrassment subsided because the lines Anderson rendered after the game weren't as good as the earlier ones.
"It's fun at the end," Allan said. "There's a lot of pressure, but there's a certain amount of excitement to get into a crowd of people, all trying to do their job, and fight your way through and get the line. There's a lot of pride involved."

Last night our two lads were at Rogers Arena in Vancouver to watch the local Vancouver Canucks hockey team defeat arch rivals, the Boston Bruins. Ben, who was visiting Tim for the weekend, managed to get tickets for both of them. It was great for them to have some time together. In particular, it was great to know that Tim was able to take in this event, and to handle all it entailed.
We are so grateful for two sons who love and care for each other. Thanks also to all of you who continue to provide love, prayer and all kinds of support for Tim, his family and for our family in general.
'Bye for now and God bless.

Alexander Kuzmin, mayor of Megion in western Siberia, said that officials must stop using phrases such as "I don't know" and "it's lunch time".
Mr Kuzmin said city officials should help improve people's lives and solve their problems, not make excuses.
The mayor's press office said the list consists of 27 forbidden phrases, including "there's no money".
Mr Kuzmin warned in a statement that "the use of these expressions by city administration officials while speaking to the head of the city will speed their departure."
He said he was taking action as he was tired of civil servants telling him that problems were impossible to solve, rather than offering practical solutions.
What are these?

I made valentine's cards and gourmet Jelly bean filled treat cones, for my family. Valentine's day sneaked up on me this year, after a stressful and scary month...it's been a bit of blur. My husband, Chris, very unexpectedly started having abdominal pain and ended up in the hospital for a week. We are SO glad that he is home, feeling better and after much worrying, waiting to see the specialist, he says it was a one-of event...phew! What a huge relief!!! I thought they could all use a special valentine card!
For my project I made a large 6x6 card for my husband, Chris, with the Doodle Garden I'm Raptor Around Your Finger Stamp set. I was inspired to try the "Pointillism" colouring technique featured by MFT Designer Michele Boyer in the recent MFT Academy tutorial ...SO much fun!!! I used Echo Park - Love Story 6x6 paper pad and matted with Wild Cherry, Cotton Candy and Black Licorice Heavyweight Card Stock. I cut the image out with my OVAL STAX Die-namics and coloured in the ground and grass with my PrismaColor Pencils and inked with Spun Sugar Distress ink. I also cut the Layered Heard Border Die-namics from Wild Cherry Heavyweight Card Stock and Steele Grey Heavyweight Card Stock. I stamped the sentiment from the Doodle Garden - Raptor Around Your Finger on Sweet Tooth Heavyweight Card Stock with Black Licorice Premium Dye Ink and cut with the ribbon die from the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics. I also added a flower cut from MFT Replenishment Felt, Wild Cherry, Bubblegum Pink, Steel Grey I added Red Hot button tied with Hemp Cord.
Here is the inside of the card...I stamped the little Raptor from the Doodle Garden Raptor Around Your Finger stamp set in Wild Cherry Premium Dye Ink and a sentiment from the Doodle Garden Sweet Friend Stamp set and added a Bubblegum Pink Felt heart cut with the Rustic Hearts Die-namics.
I cut the Cone Treat Box Die-namics from acetate and filled them with gourmet Jelly beans. I embellished the cone treat boxes with Hybrid Heirloom flowers cut from MFT Wild Cherry, Bubblegum Pink and Steel Grey felt with the Large and Mini Hybrid Heirloom Rose Die-namics and added Red Hot buttons tied with Hemp cord. I stamped the XOXO from the PI All Occasions Stamp set on Sweet Tooth Heavyweight Card Stock cut with the Howdy Frames Die-namics.
I also made two smaller, A2, CAS-like cards for my children, Hannah and Kieran. The first one is for Hannah...I made the cards from Sweet Tooth Heavyweight Card Stock and stamped and coloured the image on with my Copics and added in the grass with my PrismaColor Pencils. popped up the white panel on the base. I added a few pattern paper strips cut with the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics. I added a Red Hot Button tied with hemp cord and a heart punched out from the Layered Border Die-namics.
Here is the inside...very simple!
This card is for my son, Kieran...I added a few more fishtail strips and a round tag from the Howdy Frames Die-namics stamped with the XOXO sentiment from the PI All Occasions Stamp Set.
and here is the inside of the second card.
Well, thanks SO much for stopping by and having a wee peek at my cards and cone treat boxes. We look forward to seeing your cards of encouragement.

In case a foreign expert or a foreign who had lived in Israel for a period of time is asking to issue a police clearance certificate from the Israeli police following his staying in Israel, there are 2 relevant option open for him. The relevant option for the specific personal depends on the purpose of the PCC issuance. Meaning, is an official body (like a consulate, a governmental ministry etc.) asked the PCC or is it just for the personal use of the foreigner?
1. In case an official body such as mentioned above is asking for the PCC, the PCC will be sent directly to the official body, and at any stage, the foreigner or his lawyers will NOT have a copy of it. This means that once we submitted, it should take 30 days until it gets to the official body. There is no visibility from our side over the police process of sending the document to the official body and the receipt at the official body. Moreover, there is no "submission note" receipt by the police.
2. In case the PCC is required for other use, or for the personal use of the foreigner, by having a Power of Attorney from the foreigner (that may be required to be signed in front of a local lawyer/notary or the Israeli consul in case out of Israel), his representative can approach the Police and ask to have a copy of the police registry. This is a print out from the police registry, there is a need to make sure this will be acceptable by the relevant immigration authorities. After receiving that, the certificate can be also be notarized in case required. Processing time is 14 work days as mentioned below.

At the conclusion of last week's portion Lech Lecha, "Go To Yourself", Abram has expanded into Abraham, and has circumcised himself – meaning, as I described last week, that Abraham has opened himself and committed himself to remain open to YHVH, Life Unfolding. As this week's reading of Vayera, which means "He Had a Vision," opens, Abraham is now sitting in the entrance of his tent, his wide, open tent. The parsha begins with this enigmatic phrase:
Vayera eilav YHVH b'elonei mamre. (Genesis 18:1)
This is often translated as, "YHVH appeared to him by the oak trees of Mamre," but that standard translation ignores the possibility that this is not a concrete story but a visionary tale. The Hebrew could just as accurately be translated as, "YHVH appeared to him in the oak grove of Mamre," or more simply: "Abraham saw God in the trees." Abraham, after his circumcision, is in a profound state of openness. In this blessed state of consciousness, he sees YHVH inherent in all creation. The Torah continues with a phrase that will recur many times in this parsha: "Abraham lifted his eyes, and he saw . . ." Lifting one's eyes might connote an elevated form of seeing. In this case, Abraham sees three men, standing near him. Without hesitation, he runs to greet and serve the strangers, because he sees God in them, too.
This is the new way of "seeing" that Abraham represents and points us toward. In bliss, in awe, and without fear, Abraham perceives YHVH within all creation, and responds, naturally and unhesitatingly, with caring acts. When Abraham then learns that destruction is about to rain down on Sodom and Gomorrah, he unhesitatingly defies God and argues for justice, that the innocent not be punished.
Vayera, "He Had a Vision," climaxes with Genesis, Chapter 22:
After all these things, God tested Abraham, and said "Abraham!" And he said "Hineni" – "Here I am." God said Take your, your only one, the one you love, Isaac, and lech lecha – go forth – and offer him up as an offering on one of the mountains that I will show you. (Gen. 22:1-2)
Listen to how the rhythm and language of this final test of Abraham echoes the first time he heard the call:
And God said to Abram, lech lecha – go forth from your land, your birthplace, your father's house to the land that I will show you. (Gen 12:1)
Abraham is once again called to take a journey with no guarantees, but with the promise and possibility of a new way of seeing and understanding the world, the possibility, as the Torah repeats, of becoming a blessing to all the families of the earth. But the stakes are even higher now – will he have to give up his son in order to fulfill this journey?
And Abraham responds, "Hineni," which means "Here I am," ready, present, willing. Life will now test Abraham as he has never before been tested. YHVH tells Abraham to take his son, the gift of Yitzchak, laughter and joy, and give it up, return it to God — and with the same alacrity with which he leapt up to greet the strangers standing outside his tent, Abraham leaps to this task, rising to the test, rising early the next morning to prepare for the journey. Most of us instinctively rebel against Abraham's eager readiness: This is his son, for God's sake! What kind of crazy story is this?
Take a breath: Yes, this is a crazy story! It is myth, a vision quest, the language of symbol, not concrete reality.
What does a child symbolize in this tale? I think of Kahlil Gibran: "Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself." By risking everything and opening themselves to life, Abraham and Sarah became conduits for life. But the "yitzchak," the joy that then moved through them and into the world, is not theirs to possess. The spiritual quest requires our willingness and faith to give our love away, radically. So Abraham takes his pride and joy and journeys toward the Holy Mountain, ready to offer it back to the source.
References to sight recur over and over as the story builds:
On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw hamakom, the place, from afar. (Gen 22:4) Abraham's vision remains clear. Hamakom, the place, is a revered name for God in the Jewish tradition. Any place can become the place of Divine indwelling, if we can lift up our eyes and see.
Abraham ascends the mountain of God. He is ready to offer his pride and joy. Ready, present, and willing. An angel calls to him and tells him to stop: Abraham has risen to the test. He was willing to give away everything, in the sublime awareness that life does not belong to him, anyway, but is a gift that flows through us. This is the challenge we face in order to ascend the holy mountain of awareness: we must be willing to let go of our desire to control life.
Again, Abraham sees:
And Abraham lifted his eyes and saw a ram, caught in the thicket by its horns. (Gen. 22:13) We blow the shofar, the ram's horn, in order to remember to lift up our eyes and see YHVH in everything: the trees, the blowing breeze, and each other. We blow the ram's horn to remember to rise to the test and ascend the holy mountain with our father Abraham and dwell rapturously in the perception of the oneness of all.
Abraham names the mountaintop after his vision:
And Abraham named that place Adonai Yireh ("The Place of Divine Vision," or "The Place Where I Saw God"). We say to this day "b'har Adonai Yeraeh" ("On the mountain of YHVH, there is sight".) (Gen. 22:14)
Perhaps we should call that kind of sight "insight."
Our spiritual father Abraham showed us how to see in a new and ever-challenging way, how to love life and simultaneously let it go, how to trust and journey to a new kind of awareness, and how to open ourselves to be trusting and trustworthy conduits of life. Ken yehi ratzon. So may it be.
Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Jonathan

Physics preconceptions
For instance, many people come to class with the preconception that acceleration goes in the same direction as velocity. You define velocity, and you define acceleration, and they see that they're different.
Then you draw a graph of position vs time and ask which way it's accelerating. "That way," they say, and they point in the direction of velocity. "So... the velocity is increasing in this direction over time?" Confused stares. Mumbled answers. The answer is clearly "no," but doesn't that contradict their previous answer?
Later, we do a simple hands-on lab, with a cart on a track. We tilt the track. If we push up the cart and let it go, which way is it accelerating as it goes up? Which way is it accelerating when it stops at the top? And when it comes down again? It's clearly changing direction... right, Mr. Miller?
When the track is flat, I ask them to show how they pushed the cart to give it positive acceleration. They give a short and sharp push and let it roll freely. See, acceleration!
After all this has been corrected, I ask them why it is we think acceleration is in the same direction as velocity. Nobody knows. I say, "I don't know either; I study physics, not psychology."
It's hard for me to sympathize, because I don't remember ever making this kind of mistake. Maybe I just don't remember it. But I sure didn't make the mistake repeatedly, having to relearn the same lesson every time the context changes just a little.
In my pedagogy class, we are learning a bit about the cognitive psychology of the naive conceptions brought in by introductory physics students. We are learning what they are, where they come from, and most importantly, how to deal with them as teachers.
Don't expect me to blog much about this psychology stuff. I'm quite aware that we only really scrape the surface, to practical ends.
But I will say that this sounds an awful lot like skepticism. Skepticism is all about the strange things people believe, where they come from, and how to deal with them. Skepticism is a lot like teaching.
The difference is that the subjects of skepticism are often hostile to it, and skeptics are not in any position of authority. Come to think of it, this is a really huge difference. As a physicist would say, this can't be modeled as a small perturbation. Maybe skepticism is nothing like teaching after all.
2 comments:
I just started grad school as well, and am doing TA work. I've also been wondering about the preconceptions the students have, and other problems they might have with understanding physics.
The preconception that acceleration and velocity are always in the same direction is a common one, as you pointed out. I think the origin of this - just as the origin of the idea that force is necessary for motion - is their experience in having to actively apply some sort of effort to move despite friction. In particular, when they drive, the action of the motor turns the wheels; and the fact that pressing the gas pedal is often called "accelerating" even if it isn't increasing the speed of the car relative to the Earth probably doesn't help.
Another strange thing is the way the students put concepts together. I instruct three lab sections, and the answers the students give to homework problems get weirder as the week goes on. There was a recent lab involving Newton's second law and the homework had only one question. Most of my Tuesday section got it right; many from the Wednesday section erroneously brought the third law into their answer; and many from the Friday section started talking about normal forces, static and kinetic friction, etc. in spite of these having nothing to do with the problem. I'm inclined to think that the students are trying to learn the material without really fitting it into an over-arching structure that allows them to know what concepts are necessary for which problems.
Sorry to ramble on in response to your blog, but I felt that this was relevant.

What we learn in our pedagogy class is that these preconceptions are usually based on true facts that have been incorrectly generalized. When we're pushing objects around, it's true that the direction of motion is the same direction as the force. When a piece of paper and a bowling ball are dropped at the same time, the bowling ball really does fall faster. When you plug in any electric device, you don't need to make a wire loop (because both halves of the loop are joined together in a single wire).
