The objective is to assess the influence of sociodemographic, professional and clinical variables on the choice of treatment of work-related carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). An exhaustive and trans-sectional study was conducted over a period of eight years, from 1st January 2006 to 31 December 2013 in the Department of Occupational Medicine at University Hospital of Mahdia, Tunisia. The study population was represented by patients with work-related carpal tunnel syndrome. Data collection was based on a questionnaire sheet, describing social, occupational and medical characteristics of patients. The study population was characterized by a large female dominance, representing 95.3% with an average age of 42±7.8 years. Patients medically treated represented 38.7% and 61.3% had had surgical treatment. After binary logistic regression, surgical indication of CTS was significantly correlated to diabetes (p=0.017), other musculoskeletal disorders (p=0.02), functional signs of CTS (acrocyanosis p=0.05; muscle weakness p=0.015; radiating pain p=0.01; painful discomfort of the hand, the forearm or arm p=0.027) and to the atrophy of thenar muscles (p=0.018). According to this study, the choice of therapy for occupational CTS depends only on clinical data. More detailed studies will be needed to refine these results.

Borgholz gehört zur Stadt Borgentreich im Kreis Höxter in Nordrhein-Westfalen.

Geografie

Borgholz liegt in Ostwestfalen in der Nähe der Bundesstraße 241 sowie der ehemaligen Bahnstrecke Holzminden–Scherfede und ist etwa 8 Kilometer westlich von der Weser und 15 Kilometer östlich vom Eggegebirge entfernt.

Durch Borgholz fließt der Jordan, der etwa sechs Kilometer nordwestlich von Borgholz entspringt. Die Furt durch den Bach in der Lehmkuhle ist eine Besonderheit, für die Borgholz bekannt ist. Im Südosten von Borgholz fließt der Jordan mit dem Eselsbach zusammen, die dadurch entstehende Bever mündet bei Beverungen in die Weser.

Geschichte

Hochstift Paderborn (1291–1802)

An einem nach drei Seiten hin abfallenden Ausläufer eines noch im 14. Jahrhundert gerodeten Höhenrückens nordöstlich von Borgentreich liegt die ehemalige Stadt Borgholz. Sie wird erstmals 1291 genannt – gleich zwei urkundliche Nachrichten belegen, dass es Borcholte zu dieser Zeit bereits gab. Sie verdankt ihre Entstehung, wie auch die Stadt Borgentreich, den Auseinandersetzungen über das Recht der Landeshoheit zwischen den Erzbischöfen von Köln und den Bischöfen von Paderborn im 13. Jahrhundert. Die Erzbischöfe von Köln versuchten, durch einen Ring von Städten und Burgen das westliche Hoheitsgebiet des Bischofs von Paderborn einzugrenzen.

Den Befehl zur Anlage des befestigten Ortes hoch über dem Tal des Jordan hatte Bischof Otto von Paderborn 1290 erteilt. Er übertrug dem Bertold Schuwen einen Burgmannsitz, den ersten Burgmannsitz in der bischöflichen Burg Borgholz. Die Gründungsurkunde oder eine Urkunde über die Stadtrechtsverleihung wurden bisher nicht gefunden. In einer Urkunde von 1295 wird Borgholz bereits als Stadt bezeichnet. Nach ihrer Gründung lebten in der Stadt nach vorsichtiger Schätzung etwa 500 Einwohner. Aus einem Katasterplan von 1831 kann entnommen werden, dass die gesamte Stadt einschließlich der Burg von einer Mauer umgeben war, die eine Fläche von 6,22 Hektar umschloss. Die Gesamtanlage lässt darauf schließen, dass Borgholz bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt über seine ursprünglichen Mauern nicht erweitert worden ist. Innerhalb der Mauern war aber noch viel freies Gelände für zukünftige Bauten in Reserve gehalten worden.

Im Dreißigjährigen Krieg wurde Borgholz mehrfach erobert. So wurde Borgholz im Jahre 1622 von den Truppen Christians von Braunschweig besetzt und, nach kurzzeitigem Verlust an die Kaiserliche Armee unter Führung Graf Anholts, zurückerobert. 1632 wurde die Stadt von hessischen Truppen besetzt und geplündert. Am Ende des Krieges 1648 hatte Borgholz noch ca. 400 Einwohner. Die Zerstörung aller Stadtarchive während des Krieges macht eine genaue Rekonstruktion der Ereignisse jedoch unmöglich.

1756 begann der Siebenjährige Krieg und traf Borgholz hart, sowohl durch Truppeneinquartierungen als auch durch größere militärische Auseinandersetzungen im Warburger Land. Während des Verlaufs des Krieges waren Soldaten verschiedener Nationen und Kriegsfraktionen im Dorf untergebracht und mussten von der Bevölkerung versorgt werden. An 1758 quartierten sich in Borgholz Braunschweiger, Franzosen, Hannoveraner, Hessen, Nassauer und Preußen ein. Nach dem Sieg der Briten (in Koalition mit mehreren deutschen Fürsten) in der Schlacht bei Warburg errichtete der britische General Granby 1760 in Borgholz sein Hauptquartier. Die Bevölkerung wurde gezwungen, die Truppen zu versorgen. Erst 1763, am Ende des Krieges, zogen die britischen Truppen ab.

Preußen und Deutsches Reich (1802–1918)
In Reaktion auf den Friede von Lunéville marschierte Preußen im August 1802 in das Hochstift Paderborn ein und beendete dessen Existenz als selbständiger Staat. Damit wurde auch Borgholz Teil Preußens. Die Niederlage des preußischen Königs im Krieg mit Frankreich 1806 führte zum Frieden von Tilsit, durch den die westelbischen Gebiete 1807 den Franzosen zugesprochen worden. Die französische Herrschaft ging sowohl mit hohen Abgabenlasten als auch mit Modernisierungen einher, etwa der Abschaffung ständischer Privilegien. Auch die allgemeine Wehrpflicht wurde eingeführt. 16 Borgholzer, die zum Einsatz im französischen Russlandfeldzug gezogen wurden, galten im Herbst 1814 als gefallen oder vermisst.

Nach der Niederlage Napoleons gerieten die ca. 1100 Einwohner Borgholz' im Jahre 1813 wieder unter preußische Herrschaft. Schon 1829 stellte ein Gerichtsurteil fest, dass Borgholz "[…] kaum den Namen einer Stadt […]" verdiene. Ab 1841 fiel der Ort schließlich auch juristisch unter die neue Westfälische Landgemeindeordnung, so dass Borgholz spätestens ab diesem Zeitpunkt nur noch als Titularstadt bezeichnet wurde. Die Burg der Stadtbefestigung von 1291 wurde 1840 wegen Baufälligkeit abgerissen. In den Jahren 1922/23 wurde ein neuer "Schlossbau" errichtet.

Die preußische Herrschaft in Borgholz endete mit der Niederlage des Deutschen Reichs im Ersten Weltkrieg, in dessen Verlauf auch 48 Borgholzer fielen.

Zweiter Weltkrieg
Im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde Borgholz am 14. Februar 1945 erstmals direkt angegriffen. An diesem Tag griffen Jagdbomber in zwei Wellen den Bahnhof Borgholz an. Bei diesem Luftangriff wurden mehrere deutsche und ein ungarischer Soldat getötet. Im April 1945 wurden Truppen der SS-Panzerbrigade Westfalen nach Borgholz gesandt, um die anrückenden US-Truppen aufzuhalten. Am 6. April 1945 wurde der Ort von Teilen der 3. US-Panzerdivision (Taskforce Welborn und Taskforce Lovelady) angegriffen. Amerikanische Panzer rückten langsam in den Ortskern vor, stießen jedoch auf teils heftigen Widerstand verschanzter SS-Truppen. Beide Seiten setzten im begrenzten Maße Artillerie ein. Die Gefechte dauerten einen ganzen Tag. Auf deutscher Seite kamen 12 Soldaten sowie ein Zivilist ums Leben. Nach US-Angaben fielen im Raum Borgholz 24 Soldaten. 44 Wohnhäuser und 14 landwirtschaftliche Gebäude wurden zerstört oder beschädigt. Dies markierte für Borgholz das Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs, in dem insgesamt 93 Borgholzer gefallen und 32 vermisst waren.

Einwohnerentwicklung

Eine Studie im Auftrag der Bezirksregierung Detmold aus dem Jahr 2009 prognostiziert für das Stadtgebiet Borgentreich einen starken Bevölkerungsrückgang bis 2030 um 16,4 %.

Glaubensgemeinschaften

Katholische Kirche
Die Katholische Pfarrkirche Mariae Verkündigung ist als Pfarre 1295 erwähnt. Der Ort Borgholz gehörte seit der Gründung zum Bistum Paderborn und seit 1297 zum Archidiakonat des Paderborner Domkämmerers (Iburg, später Brakel). Ab 1650 wurden Kirchenbücher geführt. Seit 1954 wurde die Pfarre dem Dekanat Borgentreich zugeordnet. Ab 1650 gab es eine Kaplanei. Die Liboriuskapelle ist 1740 erbaut worden. Heute steht ein von einem Pfarrer bewohntes Pfarrhaus und ein Pfarrheim. Im Jahre 1946 waren 88 % der Bevölkerung katholisch.

Im Jahre 1809 ereignete sich in Borgholz der sogenannte Singekrieg: die Bevölkerung weigerte sich, das neu eingeführte Gesangbuch des Bistums Paderborn in Hochdeutsch zu singen. Dieses historische Ereignis wurde 2010 in einem Theaterstück Der Singerkrieg von Borgholz, in drei Akten, von Laienschauspielern nach dem Drehbuch von H. Multhaupt, aufgeführt.

Jüdische Gemeinde

Ab 1652 sind zwei jüdische Familien in Borgholz belegt. Um 1807 gab es 13 jüdische Familien in Borgholz und 1871 betrug die Zahl der jüdischen Bürger 65. Die Zahl der Bürger mit jüdischem Bekenntnis fiel bis 1930 auf 8 ab.
Die Synagoge in Borgholz ist im Jahre 1838 von der jüdischen Gemeinde an der Kleinen Straße, nahe dem Marktplatz, errichtet worden. Nachdem schon 1937 Fenster eingeworfen und Bänke umgeworfen wurden, wurde die Synagoge während der Reichspogromnacht am 9. November 1938 teilweise zerstört. Die Häuser der ortsansässigen Juden wurden in der gleichen Nacht von Nationalsozialisten gestürmt. Ein großer Teil des Besitzes der jüdischen Einwohner wurde zerstört oder gestohlen. In den folgenden Monaten wurden die Borgholzer Juden durch den Staat enteignet. 1942 wurden alle verbliebenen Juden aus Borgholz deportiert. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde die Synagoge als Garage bzw. Abstellraum genutzt. Das Gebäude sollte Mitte der 1990er Jahre in das Freilichtmuseum in Detmold transloziert werden. Daraus ergab sich eine öffentliche Diskussion vor Ort. Im Jahre 1995 hat die Stadt Borgentreich das Gebäude erworben und nach der Renovierung dient es heute als sozio-kulturelles Begegnungsstätte.
Ein jüdischer Friedhof lag außerhalb des Orts, zeitweise gab es eine jüdische Schule.

We at ProbateSharks continue to have concerns about OBRA Special Needs Pooled Trusts. OBRA Trusts were created to allow people who have special needs to qualify for Medicaid by depositing their money into these trusts. The intention of these trusts was to preserve estates of disabled people by allowing them to qualify for public aid nursing homes while preserving their estate for their special needs.
Unfortunately, these trusts are being abused by certain guardians in Cook County. Elderly disabled people with large estates are being targeted for guardianships through unscrupulous methods including: Illegal removal of Powers of Attorney, deceit of the elderly by owners of guardianship companies, and inaccurate medical reports being submitted into court records to make the elderly appear to be disabled with dementia. Once the rich elderly disabled person becomes a ward of the court, the unscrupulous guardians place the wards' estates into OBRA trusts, place the ward into for-profit Medicaid-funded nursing homes, and then deplete the estate through guardian fees, care management fees, and attorneys fees.
In other words, OBRA Trusts are being used by some to financially exploit the elderly disabled while profits are obtained for the guardians, attorneys, case managers, and for-profit nursing home owners. This is being done at the expense of the wards, and the taxpayers in the state of Illinois.
In June of this year, Governor Quinn signed Senate bill 2840, which became Public Act 97-0689.It is called the Save Medicaid Access and Resources Together (SMART) Act. Its impact is anything but friendly to Illinois seniors, especiallly those who are wards of the 18th floor of the Daley Center.
The biggest change made by SMART is the elimination of Pooled Payback trusts (also called OBRA d(4)(c) special needs trusts) in Medicaid planning for those over the age of 65, UNLESS THEY ARE WARDS OF THE STATE OR PUBLIC GUARDIAN!!!
In 1987, President Ronald Reagan signed into law the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA), the first major version of the Federal standards for nursing home care since the 1965 creation of both Medicare and Medicaid (MediCal in California). Care facilities wanting Medicare and Medicaid funding were to provide services so that each nursing home patient could attain and maintain the highest physical, mental and psycho-social wellbeing. However, 25 years later, poor care and neglect are still too common an occurrence in the approximately 16,000 nursing homes in the United States.
Why is this poor care and abuse still occurring? There are many reasons why and at the top of the list is the fact that state agencies responsible for overseeing nursing home care often fail to make sure problems in the facilities are corrected.
Anyone of us who may have the unfortunate task of placing a loved one in a nursing home needs to know that the probability of poor care and neglect is alive and well in these facilities. Be vigilant: Go often to see the patient (under the federal law, there are no visiting hours for family members); go often at any time day or night; ask questions; check their bodies to ensure there are no bedsores forming; make sure they are getting sufficient liquids to prevent dehydration; listen to what the patient is telling you and don't let the facility staff dismiss the patient's complaints.
Since it appears to be "business as usual" in nursing homes and with the lack of oversight by the regulators perhaps it's time to close down all nursing homes and start all over again with a different plan. Perhaps the billions of dollars the government gives to nursing homes should be given to each of us who wish to remain in our homes and be cared for by people of our choice.
A recent law was passed which will tax private pay nursing home beds and divert the money to Medicaid beds. This new law will allow the owners of for-profit nursing homes with Medicaid beds to profit even more than they do currently. While the Health Care Council of IL claims to lose $27.00/day on Medicaid beds, the homes with the most Medicaid beds are operating at a profit.
Private-pay residents at NON-profit nursing homes will incur a tax to go to the owners of FOR-profit Medicaid beds.
We can't help but wonder if those for-profit nursing homes that will receive the new tax are the same nursing homes that are favored by the Cook County Probate Court. See our articles in the index on the right about OBRA Special Needs Pooled Trusts to read how these trusts are used to deplete the estates of the wards with attorneys' fees and guardians' fees while the wards are placed into FOR-Profit Medicaid nursing homes.
Something does not seem right here.
ProbateSharks.com: Our mission is to expose and remedy corruption in the Probate Court of Cook County, Illinois. We assist, educate and enlighten families of the dead, the dying, the disabled and the aged to better understand their rights in order to protect themselves from the excesses of the Probate Court of Cook County. ProbateSharks.com is dedicated to networking the human element of people to people. We join together in reforming the corrupt Cook County Probate Court system.
Many of our readers have asked us for more information about OBRA trusts. OBRA trusts were originally created for disabled people with long-term needs, so they could move into public aid facilities and have funds left for their special needs. An appropriate situation would be for a disabled child who received a malpractice award meant to cover long-term needs. In order to prevent the child's funds from being quickly drained by nursing home costs, OBRAs were created to allow the disabled child to be placed into a public aid facility, and have their estate available throughout their life for those things not provided by public aid. Once the OBRA is created though, private pay facilities are no longer an option for the child, in accordance with OBRA laws.
In the Cook County Probate Courts, these OBRA trusts are being abused. The elderly disabled are having their substantial estates (their hard-earned life-long savings) placed into OBRAs. Wards who lived at home or in beautiful private pay facilities prior to their guardianships have their funds placed into OBRAs (despite having enough funds to enjoy their private pay facilities for the rest of their lives), and are moved to less desirable public aid facilities (at the cost of the taxpayer). The wards' estates are then VERY quickly depleted by the guardians, GALs, and attorneys.
Although the OBRA laws were created for the purpose of providing for a high quality life for the ward while on public aid, this is not occurring. Over 65% of the Public Guardian's elderly wards' estates are placed into OBRA accounts, and these substantial estates are rapidly depleted by the guardians and attorneys, with the approval of certain judges, rather than being spent on the wards special needs.
[See ProbateSharks.com for] a comprehensive list of what is allowed by law to be paid from OBRA trusts, FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE WARD; also included are our comments to show what is actually occurring to wards on the 18th floor of the Daley center. These examples are substantiated with public court records. Case numbers will be provided to investigators upon request.
This abuse must be exposed for what it is: Financial exploitation of the elderly disabled and medicaid fraud and abuse on the part of some of the judges, guardians, GALs, and attorneys in the Cook County Probate Courts.
Many of our readers have requested additional information about OBRA Special Needs Pooled Trusts.
In Cook County, many wards' estates, valued in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, are placed into OBRA Supplemental Needs Pooled Trusts.
Supposedly, this is being done for the benefit of the ward as it allows the ward to qualify for Medicaid, thus saving the funds for the special needs of the ward.
However, in reality, the ones benefitting from these trusts are the attorneys and guardians. Once a ward's estate is placed into the trust, they can no longer (by law) reside in private pay nursing homes, and are thus moved into public aid facilities.
And, instead of using the funds placed into the OBRA for the special needs of the wards that aren't being met in the public aid nursing homes, the funds are being used primarily to pay attorneys and legal fees until the estate is depleted.

I wrote a quick blog post about Free Shipping Day last week and I got an email from Anna of BargainMoose.ca telling me about No Minimum Monday which is tomorrow, December 10th.
Holiday tipping? How much to give?
So how much should you tip your dog groomer?
I wrote this article on holiday tipping a year ago for AOL. They've revived it so I thought I'd put it here as well. I suggest you take a look at the original story because there is a very good gallery that explains how much to give. I won't replicate the gallery here but here is the article.
Have you started your holiday shopping yet? If you're like most of us, you're probably planning do it in the next couple weeks but how are you planning on paying for it?
Here's what happens – you go into a mall, walk around, peer at things and buy something that might work for our family and friends. The next thing you know, you've overspent your budget and become one of the 12 per cent of Canadians who go into debt for holiday gifts!
If you're going to do some online shopping, try to do it on December 12. That's Free Shipping Day in Canada. More than 150 retailers will offer free shipping.
Tomorrow, four times the usual payment is coming out of my account and going on my mortgage. I try to save up so I can do lump sums as well as pay a little extra every fortnight. The thing is, after I called my bank and asked them to take out that money, I hung up and felt a little sick. That's a lot of money.
I'm a Wolford fan. I buy a pair every few years and wear them until they're fuzzy and starting to shred. They're expensive, about $70 per pair but they are really worth it because their opaque tights are actually opaque, no hint of skin to be seen.
Christmas shopping can be expensive and let's be honest, most of us don't stay on budget. I try my hardest but I slip, trust me. So what do you do if you don't want to give gifts for whatever reason that works for you?
I wrote this last year for AOL and considering shopping has ramped up, thought it would be perfect to revisit.


Sometimes you've just got to hang out with your mom. I know that sounds strange, especially as a young adult who has should have a thriving social life with peers her own age, but it's the truth. We hang out well together because we're different in many ways, but also very similar and we tend to balance each other out. It's especially good when we both need advice on something or to just be out of a weird situation.
Sadly, no bright colors were to be found at the actual Crabtree H&M.
My mom and I went to Crabtree Valley Mall to visit the new H&M store, which I was so excited for because I haven't been in one since I was in LA and the clothes are usually a ton of fun and generally inexpensive (something I look for in my fashion choices, naturally). But when we got there we were pretty disappointed with the selection, we knew the crowd would be obnoxious (it was), but we weren't quite prepared for the limited selection they had. Most of the clothes seemed to be from the past season (as opposed to the spring) making it seem as though though nothing was fresh or… seasonal. We left the store with nothing, but we still had a great time at the mall. We visited most of the stores that they don't have at Triangle or Southpoint and we just got to hang out and talk.
Honestly, despite seeing some ok clothes, the most fun the two of us had was just sitting and talking over a late lunch at Panera. The topics ranged from work stresses, to relationships, to our own personal growth as women. I love my mom and I think she's so smart and strong, but probably my favorite thing about my mom is the fact that she acknowledges that she's still a work in progress. It gives me hope that I can still evolve and grow and become a better version of myself despite how "set in my ways" I may become. Sometimes I worry that my greatest fear in aging is becoming sedentary and just working myself into this insurmountable rut. It's helpeful to know that I can still change if I see the need to… It's encouraging to know that I could still be able to recognize the need to change.
One of the other things we talked about was dating. My singleness obviously crowding most of the conversation since my mother is happily married. But since we had the talk, my stance and vision for the post on the Christian mindset towards dating has altered. I still think I hold the same opinion, I just want to address it differently.
Tomorrow is Chuck "reviewcap" Sunday, but I think Monday may have to be about this whole dating thing. Don't hold me to it, but I may pre-write my post and then time it to be released on Monday just so I don't forget, but we'll see.
Until then my best advice is to wait a few weeks before hitting up the H&M, i think they're trying to take advantage of the grand opening "sales" by putting out old merchandise at normal prices, but that's just my two cents.

Das Batteriegesetz setzt die europäische Altbatterierichtlinie (Richtlinie 2006/66/EG vom 6. September 2006 über Batterien und Akkumulatoren sowie Altbatterien und Altakkumulatoren) in deutsches Recht um.

Inhalt
Die Neuregelung der abfallwirtschaftlichen Produktverantwortung für Batterien und Akkumulatoren ersetzte die seit 1998 geltende Batterieverordnung. Die Rücknahme- und Entsorgungsverantwortung für Altbatterien und Altakkumulatoren blieb grundsätzlich in den Händen der Hersteller und Vertreiber, wobei die Rücknahme weitgehend über den Handel abgewickelt wird. Als "Hersteller" wird hier jede Person betrachtet, die die Batterie erstmals in Deutschland in Verkehr bringt, hier also abgibt – auch wenn sie sie bloß importiert hatte.

Das Batteriegesetz setzte verbindliche Sammelziele für Geräte-Altbatterien von  mindestens 35 % bis 2012 sowie mindestens 45 % bis September 2016, seit Neufassung 2012 von mindestens 40 % bis 2014 und 45 % bis Ende 2016. Die in Prozenten angegebene Rücknahmequote ist eine rollierende Quote, die die in Verkehr gebrachten und zurückgenommenen Massen berücksichtigt. Darüber hinaus wurde die Verwendung von Cadmium und Quecksilber beschränkt. Die Vertreiber sind bei losem Verkauf einer Fahrzeugbatterie ohne Rückgabe einer entsprechenden Altbatterie verpflichtet, ein Pfand von je 7,50 Euro zu erheben (§ 10). Ein beim Umweltbundesamt geführtes Melderegister für Hersteller sollte dafür sorgen, dass diese ihre Verantwortung bei der Rücknahme und Entsorgung ihrer Produkte wahrnehmen. Ab 1 Dezember 2009 setzte das Inverkehrbringen von Batterien und Akkumulatoren diese Registrierung unter Angabe von Daten zur Wahrnehmung ihrer Verantwortung voraus.

Acht führende Batteriehersteller und der Zentralverband Elektrotechnik- und Elektronikindustrie gründeten 1998 die  Stiftung Gemeinsames Rücknahmesystem Batterien (GRS Batterien). Das Non-Profit-Unternehmen ist das vom Umweltbundesamt festgestellte "Gemeinsame Rücknahmesystem" für Gerätebatterien im Sinne von § 6 BattG. Zwischenzeitlich nutzen mehr als 1.800 Hersteller und Importeure die Serviceleistungen von GRS Batterien und es bestehen bundesweit und flächendeckend etwa 170.000 Sammelstellen. 2009 wurde dadurch eine Sammelquote von 44 % erreicht, womit das Ziel für 2012 übertroffen und die Quote für 2016 bereits fast erreicht war. Es gibt weitere Batterierücknahmesysteme in Deutschland, wie beispielsweise CCR REBAT der CCR AG, Öcorecell der IFA-Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH oder ERP European Recycling Platform. Diese Systeme haben einen Marktanteil von etwa 15 Prozent und werden die Vorgaben des BattG erfüllen.

Änderungen

Änderungen ab 2015
Die 2013 erfolgte Änderung der zugrundeliegenden europäischen Richtlinie war umzusetzen. In erster Linie wurden bisherige Ausnahmeregelungen für quecksilberhaltige Knopfzellen und für cadmiumhaltige Gerätebatterien, die für schnurlose Elektrogeräte bestimmt sind, befristet, um diese gefährlichen Stoffe dauerhaft dem Stoffkreislauf zu entziehen. Seit Oktober 2015 gilt ein Verkehrsverbot für Knopfzellen, die mehr als 0,0005 Masse-% (5 mg/kg) Quecksilber enthalten. Gerätebatterien, die mehr als 0,002 Masse-% (20 mg/kg) Cadmium enthalten, dürfen ab Januar 2017 nicht mehr abgegeben werden, außer sie sind für Not- und Alarmsysteme, Notbeleuchtung oder medizinische Anwendungen bestimmt. Es entfällt der bislang eingeräumte Vorbehalt der grundsätzlichen Verpflichtung zur nach dem Stand der Technik möglichen stofflichen Verwertung aller gesammelten und identifizierten Altbatterien, dass diese Recyclingpflicht nämlich nur in Fällen wirtschaftlicher Zumutbarkeit galt.

Änderungen ab 1. Januar 2021
Die Mindestsammelquote erhöht sich von bisher 45 auf 50 Prozent. Konkreter als bisher wird eine Verwertung von mindestens 75 Masse-% aller Nickel-Cadmium-, 65 Masse-% aller Blei-Säure- und 50 % aller übrigen Altbatterien, die gesammelt wurden, verlangt. Um einen fairen Wettbewerb der Rücknahmesysteme ermöglichen, entfällt die Pflicht zum Gemeinsamen Rücknahmesystem, nicht jedoch die der Hersteller zur Absicherung ihrer Rücknahmepflicht. Hersteller müssen sich nun nicht mehr beim Umweltbundesamt melden, sondern sich mit der Batterieart und Marke von der Stiftung Elektro-Altgeräte Register (stiftung ear) registrieren lassen. Weiterhin können Endnutzer Altbatterien außer bei den Sammelstellen der öffentlich-rechtlichen Entsorgungsträger oder bei den neuen freiwilligen Rücknahmestellen auch unentgeltlich bei den Vertreibern der jeweiligen Batterieart zurückgeben.

A Federal Excessive Court sitting in Sokoto State, has affirmed that each the Unbiased Corrupt Practices and Different Associated Offences Fee (ICPC) and the Financial and Monetary Crimes Fee (EFCC) are legally mandated to investigate and prosecute any individual or authority over allegations of corruption anyplace in Nigeria.
Justice S. Ok. Idris, who gave the ruling in a go well with filed by the Sokoto State authorities, looking for to limit ICPC and EFCC from inviting, investigating, arresting or prosecuting any official of the state authorities on allegations of corruption, dismissed the declare, noting that the 2 anti-corruption companies had been so empowered by an Act of Parliament to carry out the duties of preventing corruption in all of the 36 states of the federation.
The Sokoto State authorities had approached the courtroom by means of the Lawyer Basic of the State, Suleiman Usman, asking for a declaration and injunction that may cease ICPC and EFCC from finishing up any anti-corruption duties on any official or authorities division of the state on any matter or concern which the State Home of Meeting can legislate on.
The go well with particularly seeks to limit ICPC and EFCC from wanting into the monetary actions of the state authorities between 2008 and 2015 on the grounds that the interval beneath investigation have been coated by the appropriation act of the Sokoto State Home of Meeting.
The trial decide whereas dismissing the matter mentioned that tagging the actions of ICPC and EFCC as regards the applying of presidency funds in the state, in the interval resulting in the 2015 basic elections, as political intimidation can't maintain as a result of there was no truth from the state authorities to assist the declare.
Justice Idris additional noticed that the state authorities additionally didn't file an modification or additional affidavit to indicate any additional acts of the alleged political witch-hunt by both ICPC or EFCC since after the 2015 elections.

How Do You Communicate Your Hustle?
Communicating hustle will be the theme of tonight's Youngry event where my start-up Pepper Bandits, will sponsor the pizza offered for a tasting of Fuegorita, our all-natural hot pepper blend. So, it seemed fitting to reflect on how that topic shows up in my work.
Do you work harder, spreading yourself thinly, double-booking and pushing yourself to the brink of exhaustion each day?
Or do you work smarter, remaining hyper-focused on performing only the most essential tasks required to move you closer to your clearly defined objective?
I'm no model citizen when it comes to working efficiently — so "do as I say, not as I do," — but here are a few things I try to do with my hustle every day.
1) Driven (literally) – I don't have a choice except to be driven — my success depends on it. So I fill my days accordingly, using every waking moment to attend to my many irons in the fire — even when that means driving all over Los Angeles to get 'er done.
2) Decisive – I make decisions quickly because I know how critical that is to achieving my ultimate objective.
3) Dialogue – I believe conversation drives progress, so I make a point of having active conversations which drive my next set of actions.
4) Direct – I don't have time to bullshit you and I certainly don't have time for yours. I will always give you my honest assessment of where things stand, even if the truth hurts sometimes. I hope you'll always do the same for me.
5) Discipline – I suck at discipline, but I work to improve my time management skills each day. From saying no, to being respectful of others' time and managing my own, I work hard each day to keep an earnest focus on the prize.
6) Downtime – I know the importance of downtime and I look forward to yoga, basketball, guitar and family time because I know those are the things that are really most important and recharge my batteries so I can do more of the work I love.
These are the ways I communicate my hustle. How do you communicate yours?

Blockchain and the Future of…Everything
I've kept a skeptical eye on cryptocurrencies since Bitcoin became a thing, waiting to see what regulators and the market would say before diving in head first myself. While we may be years away from realizing its full potential, with a market capitalization approaching $100 billion, there's too much traction not to take a closer look.
Over the course of the past year, blockchain technology has surfaced for a myriad of business applications and new companies are being financed daily through the creation of their own tokens offered via "initial coin offerings" or ICOs, cutting out traditional venture funding methods as savvy VCs like Tim Draper embrace it wholeheartedly, lest they become irrelevant in this new economic frontier.
It's the confidence of people like Tim and commitments by institutions like Nasdaq to create the New York Interactive Advertising Exchange that give me confidence in our blockchain future, which it appears will have as far-reaching implications as the web did two decades ago. For my part I'm focused on how blockchain might improve decades-old processes in marketing and advertising and create new ways to exchange value for attention and engagement — the only things that truly matter in marketing.
So far, the Basic Attention Token and its companion Brave Browser have captured the most attention. More recently, MetaX introduced adChain, an open protocol on the Ethereum blockchain that gives buyers a scalable, trustworthy way to track and impressions and publishers the ability to capture the full value of their content and attract premium ad spend. Both hold great promise for delivering a more transparent advertising technology ecosystem currently wrought with fraud and malware. MadHive, is a blockchain-based video advertising and data platform that allows both brands and publishers to measure customer intent data and build audiences across screens and platforms.
And all of this is just the beginning.
The newest marketing entrant, BitBounce, seeks to solve issues around spam and email access. Its Credo token, which is being offered in an ICO starting on July 17, can be used to pay a small fee to guarantee an email gets through to its intended recipient. While other companies have tackled the issue, and spam filters have mostly eliminated it altogether, there are several other use cases to consider around making a market for email (e.g. paying consumers for their attention, allowing people to pay for access to celebrities, etc.). And while Credo may be starting in email, it has just as much a chance as BAT or adChain to become the de facto currency for advertising.
Many believe blockchain is as important as the HTTP protocol, and it certainly feels a lot like 1993, when the market woke up to the promise it held for everything. Like then, there is lots of excitement and speculation for a brave new global economic future built on security, efficiency, transparency — not to mention, the potential for enterprising minds to make a whole lot of money.

Mobile Experts Weigh In at CES
Excitement around the mobile web was palpable at 2012 International CES. While consumer electronics hardware and product launches dominate headlines, CES has quietly become a must-attend event for digital media and marketing professionals, many of whom were in attendance this year for the first time.
With dozens of sessions on mobile content and marketing at Digital Hollywood and other CES conference tracks, the Las Vegas Convention Center was abuzz with discussions about delivering quality mobile experiences to consumers while efficiently capitalizing on the channel for marketers.
What follows is a summary of insights from some of the best minds in mobile content and marketing who appeared on panels I attended throughout CES.
"Mobile technology is enabling an important and disruptive transition in content distribution, and interactivity, as content becomes aware of users and consumers have a greater ability to interact on multiple devices and from any location," said Jeff Demian, research strategy and business development director at Intel Labs.
Creating contiguous experiences and measuring behavior were recurring themes throughout the week, as marketers prepare for the onslaught of a multi-screen universe and the need to create compelling, tightly integrated content while catering to the unique characteristics of each platform and device.
Content and Revenue
Saul Berman, global strategy and change leader at IBM spoke about the consumer experience needing to be additive, and in so doing, how it forces the "devaluation and revaluation of content." In other words, changes in distribution and payment models may result in less revenue per eyeball in the short-term, but leveraged across an entire publishing enterprise, can become an even more valuable asset over time.
Murray Solomon, vice president, digital business development at Time Inc. validated Berman's assertion, saying early indicators suggest its all-access model of providing both print and digital versions of its 21 publications at a single subscription price is paying off. Bryan Moffett, vice president, digital strategy and sponsorship operations at National Public Media noted how more than 100 million streams of PBS Kids content on the iPad didn't cannibalize its web streams, and that with ten to 20 percent click-through rates on the iPad, digital is "leading the conversation and resulting in big radio sales."
Daniel Tibbets, vice president, digital media, Bunim/Murray Productions, says it's the quality of content that matters most. "Product decisions need to be made on the basis of what consumers want, and their needs to be treated in a way that is unique to each platform."
Although today's banner ad paradigm is understandable, display on mobile won't be effective for long, as consumers demand a deeper experience. Andrew Maltin, CEO of mobile development studio MEDL Mobile, says "the most engaging apps are technologically advanced and highly interactive." Cameron Fiedlander, vice president and director of creative technology at Designkitchen/WPP Group notes "we're seeing mobile formats evolve into deeper, more socially-driven experiences, making mobile display much less relevant."
Steve Yankovich, vice president of platform business solutions and mobile at eBay, points out that "consumers will dismiss ads altogether if they get in the way of their intent to do something else." The solution is to have better contextual and geo-fencing capabilities. According to Time, Inc.'s Solomon, "there is no reason why an immersive advertising experience with applications is not also possible in the same way which ads are viewed as valuable content to magazine readers."
Context Matters
While the need to create a great product is always implied, context may be even more important in mobile.
"If content is king, then context is queen," says Ashley Swartz, senior vice president marketing at Digitas. "Mobility gives content creators the ability to know more about their audience, and to include the audience in unique ways that before now were not possible."
Consumers want to pick up the experience where they left off on different devices, and marketers need to be ready to accept them at those nonlinear entry points, while at the same time moving them through a story line or a funnel that ultimately results in some desired action.
Lori Schwartz, chief technology catalyst, North America at McCann Erickson says the near future is going to be all about "long-tail narrowcasting and less about broadcasting. "If you can build a community of uber-influencers down that funnel, it's possible to create micro-franchises around brands."
The Year of Big Data
Notwithstanding a slew of legal and regulatory concerns, also on the minds of mobile marketers is the use of real-time data and how it can be used to create relevant brand experiences. While panelists were quick to coin phrases like "the year of big data" and "data is the new creative," few specific solutions were offered.
On the contrary, caution was urged when considering integration of social graph data into applications. Schwartz suggests pulling data from social media APIs into a custom solution a brand can control for its own brand experiences, rather than integrating in ways that could leave brands vulnerable to the decisions of social media platforms in the long run.
Martez Moore, executive vice president, digital media at BET Networks, says media and brands "need to be very thoughtful about how to integrate third party data that could potentially cannibalize their CPMs were providers to leverage that data too." Instead, Martez says BET uses social to market, promote and engage traffic, which results in the ability to sell ads at a premium around shows like 106 & Park.
Production Trends
From the production standpoint, the industry is embracing HTML5 as a baseline when developing across platforms, but recognizes there are still gaps in functionality that must be addressed. In the meantime, hybrid approaches are emerging and native apps for iOS and Android are still best when it comes to creating feature rich experiences. While some, like eBay, still develop for Blackberry, Sol Lipman, senior director, mobile at AOL says the BlackBerry PlayBook has "fallen off a cliff statistically for AOL."
On the issue of whether to develop on multiple platforms concurrently, Lindsey Turrentine, editor in chief, CNET Reviews, points out "these are difficult choices and you have to be very smart about how to proceed. We started with iOS Native hybrid HTML5 approach."
Swartz suggests building with an eye toward reach and ubiquity, but to do so with a dose of pragmatism. "It's expensive to develop and promote an app in a world where 60 percent will open it once and never go back, and where app discovery is still an issue for lesser known brands."
Strong distinctions are also being drawn between developing for mobile phones and tablets, with several describing the iPad as the more engaging experience. Chrisophe Gillet, product manager at Fanhattan, describes mobile as "a start and stop experience," where users get the information they need and then put their device away," whereas tablets "have become more of a companion device due to their more comfortable form factor."
Mandar Shinde, director, mobile monetization at AOL also sees tablet co-browsing as a big phenomenon, citing 50 percent more browsing traffic in the evenings, presumably while consumers are also watching television. The complexity and lack of tools for accurately tracking the integrated viewer behavior across devices was also raised as an issue yet to be resolved.
Growth Through Collaboration
Top of mind for agency executives has been improved collaboration and breaking down silos that prevent marketers from achieving their goals and giving consumers the best of what the medium has to offer. "We've been living in the construct of television versus digital for too long," says Schwarz. It would be a mistake to cannibalize television for digital. We need to look at it more holistically."
So how do we do we get there? Alexandre Mars, CEO, Phonevalley and head of mobile at Publicis Group suggests all of the agency stakeholders – creative, digital, media and mobile – need to be part of the conversation. Only then will everyone get the budgets required to achieve the goals of marketers and to create more powerful experiences for marketers.
Yahav Isak senior vice president, project management at Digitas Health, says "everything is digital — it's really more about understanding the different channels of digital marketing and how they can best be integrated."
According to Tibbets, "the only thing we are limited by is bandwidth and our imagination to create amazing immersive experiences."

5 Ways to Connect and Energize Your Brand
One of the joys of independent consulting is the opportunity to learn from a wide range of companies and the many solutions providers who stand ready to serve them. For startup CanaryVoice, we identified that social media savvy moms are likely to embrace its unique voicemail greetings service, leading us to explore the "momosphere" and participation in the BLP CONNECT! conference where "warrior-preneur" and marketing consultant Ann Evanston gave an inspiring keynote on "The Power of Connecting."
Her request for audience feedback on the meaning of "connection" elicited a wide range of responses, including: growing relationships, personal conversations, face-to-face meetings, follow-up, support, camaraderie, resources, interest and attention. According to Evanston, connection means "creating an energy that draws people to you." Pull not push marketing. Inbound marketing, not outbound marketing. Energetically, YOU are what creates your brand, which is distinctly unique from the product you sell. YOU make your brand unique and special, and as such you can program marketing activities to create an energy that attracts customers to your brand.
While the emphasis of Evanston's talk was geared toward an audience of women entrepreneurs and guiding their use of social media, every marketer can benefit from thinking more about ways to energize and connect with their audiences, no matter what the product or the size of the marketing budget. If the word for 2010 was "authentic" and in 2011 we are talking about being "transparent," the word for 2012 will be to "humanize" your brand, according to Evanston.
So how do you go about humanizing, connecting and energizing your brand? Here were my take-aways from Evanston's motivating talk:
1) Create polarity in your marketing. Ho-hum marketing is average and safe — be brave, be memorable and be yourself!
2) Understand that multiple "buying types" exist and that you need to appeal to all of them while being ready to refine your pitch once you determine which buying type you are dealing with. Diversify how you connect by creating different ways to tell your story.
3) Think with abundance, not in scarcity mode. Doing so will help you attract like-minded people who want to do business with you. You will create connections you never thought possible, that will lead to an even greater number of customers, referral partners and promotion opportunities.
4) Let go of the fear. Fear of success, fear of the money you can really make, fear of polarity, fear of that first Tweet. Don't let fear hold you back from getting the things done you need to do to drive your business forward.
5) Create a step-by-step plan comprised of systems and processes that develop revenue…and, of course, give Ann a call to help!
There is nothing more powerful than the energetic connections an entrepreneur can make when she tells her story with authenticity, honesty and fearlessness. Whether it's in a selling situation, a speech or social media marketing, let go of the fears that are holding you back. There is a world of partners, customers and advocates out there just waiting for you to make powerful connections that will help you grow your business.

Measuring ROI from B2B Marketing: Part II
Every marketing tactic has unique properties that influence the value that can be assigned relative to its cost. Whereas Part I addressed ROI on a macro level, this post focuses on how to value the most common marketing and communication programs on their individual merits.
Even though display advertising can and should be measured through to a conversion (easy to do in Salesforce), expectations for clicks should be within those of industry averages (.2-.5%), with even lower expectations set on driving leads. The possible exceptions would include programs specifically geared toward capturing contact information prior to authorizing the download of a research paper or other thought leadership piece.
Key metrics: Impressions (eCPM)
Clicks (eCPC)
Leads (eCPL) – may include leads attributed to the campaign that did not come from a click
Sales (eCPA)
Benchmarks: Compare CTR against industry averages and past campaigns to reflect engagement
Compare CPM against other publications with comparable audience reach/composition
Compare lift in awareness against competitors (third party) during the flight periods
Recommend:	Track site visitors and associated leads by traffic source
Print advertising, while more expensive and less measurable than online ads, should be considered in any ROI analysis. Measuring the impact of print ads can be accomplished with a specific call to action or program (custom landing page, guarantee, contest, promotion, etc.), but its effectiveness is more often relegated to the level of confidence management has in a publication's ability to reach a qualified audience.
If not centered around a specific promotion or product launch, investment in trade publications is best kept to special issues tied to your industry, which is often tied to a specific industry event.
Benchmarks: Compare CPM against other trade pubs with comparable audience reach and composition
Compare lift in awareness of the company during the flight periods
Recommend:	Create CRM lead source for "print advertising" and train Sales to associate related opportunities
Paid Search (SEM)
Search engine marketing serves both awareness and a demand generation objectives. However, paid search will always drive some number of unqualified leads and a process must be devised to manage them without becoming a distraction for Sales. While sometimes a nuisance, the value of SEM for awareness, as a defensive measure against competitors' efforts and the occasional opportunity to land a substantial new client make paid search worthwhile to continue testing and measuring for its effectiveness.
Leads (eCPL)
Benchmarks:	eCPL against past SEM campaigns
eCPA against total ad spend
Recommend:	Track site visitors and associated leads by traffic source.
Regional and vertical event sponsorship can create great awareness and meaningful interaction with qualified prospects. While practically speaking there will always be impressions made and conversations had that will be impossible to track, Marketing must develop a process for entering information from business cards obtained at events into the CRM system.
For this to work optimally, sales leadership must take a proactive role in ensuring opportunities from events are captured as thoroughly and accurately as possible. For example, a conversation with a former client where no business cards are traded but it results in securing an RFP needs to somehow be attributed to participation in the event. Or when a lead captured at an event gets passed from one rep to another it needs to be entered accordingly.
Key metrics: Potential audience – Reach/Frequency of the event's advance promotion efforts
Actual audience – How many people attended the event?
Share of Voice – How well were we "heard" at the event?
Conversations – How many people did we "touch" during the event?
Leads – How many new contacts/leads were put into the CRM system (eCPL)?
Opportunities – How many new RFPs were generated from new or existing clients (eCPL)?
Sales – How much booked revenue from our participation in the event (eCPA)?
Benchmarks:	Survey company representatives afterward to compare against other sponsored events
Compare revenue between regional event investments (holds regional sales reps accountable)
Compare revenue between vertical event investments
Compare regional events to effectiveness of vertical events
Recommend: Create a lead source option in CRM for each sponsored event and track qualified
leads/opportunities accordingly
Investment in a company's own custom events arguably attract a more highly qualified audience because the invited guests are its most important clients and prospects. For this reason, it is less likely new business cards will be obtained for entry into the CRM and it will be more difficult for Marketing to measure the effectiveness without direct input from Sales about new opportunities obtained as a result of client interactions during or immediately following the event.
Key metrics: Potential audience – How many people did we reach with the invitation (Sales must help)
Benchmarks:	Survey company representatives after each event to compare against all sponsored events
Compare revenue derived from our own events against each other
Webinars/Conference Calls/Podcasts
Webinars can be used for a combination of awareness, thought leadership and lead generation. Similar to custom events, webinars generate a highly qualified audience since the company typically controls the guest list. Although costs increase when partnering with another entity, so does the size and potential to reach new prospective clients. Unlike live events, it is much easier to track the effectiveness based on the number of people who register and attend the event.
Key metrics: Potential audience – How many people were invited to the webinar?
Registrations – How many people signed up to attend the webinar?
Attendees – How many people actually attended the webinar?
Benchmarks:	Compare growth in attendance over each webinar
Compare growth in sales over time, including impact of different topics or marketing partners
Recommend: Import event registration information into CRM and track leads accordingly
Conference Speaking Opportunities
Part event marketing and part public relations, speaking at conferences cannot be overlooked for its value in the marketing mix. The challenge with measuring speaking opportunities is that we often have no way of knowing the actions taken by audience members who were positively influenced by something our executive says on stage. If the speaker interacts with a prospective client, their information should be passed to a sales rep and recorded in the CRM, yet this easier said than done since the CEO does not (nor should he be expected to) think about ROI measurement from marketing at this granular level. Therefore, it is beholden on everyone in Sales to be mindful of where every lead comes from and to track it accordingly.
Key Metrics:	Number of qualified speaking engagements secured (monthly/quarterly/annually)
Number of leads that can be directly attributed to speaking opportunities
Benchmarks: Number of our speaking opportunities compared to prior period (monthly/quarterly/annually)
Frequency of individual competitors appearing on stage during comparable periods
Recommend: Create a lead source for each event where we speak and track qualified leads accordingly
Hold PR firm accountable for number of speaking opportunities
The ability to consistently secure editorial coverage will build awareness, lift overall industry perception and increase sales as described above. But the more quantifiable metrics are the number of editorial placements, and to a lesser degree the type of placement (mention, roundup, feature, etc.) and how prominently a company is featured therein.
In years past, an accepted measurement of ROI from public relations investments was to calculate the advertising rate for the comparable amount of space secured. Today, systems offered by companies like Vocus, United Business Media and PR Newswire offer monitoring across all media with sophisticated scoring to measure things like:
•	Type of media
•	Type of coverage – feature story, profile, mention, round-up, etc.
•	Quality of coverage –positive, neutral or negative
•	Consistency, frequency, message saturation and diversity of coverage
•	Share of voice against competitors
Depending upon the size of company and the importance it places on editorial coverage, it may be worth investigating third-party PR monitoring services, but often management is satisfied with simply being mentioned consistently in key trade publications and business press.
To the extent that editorial coverage secured can be directly attributed to a lead or a sale, that information should be captured in the CRM. This can be as simple as adding "editorial coverage" in the lead source field, to indicate when a new opportunity comes from any form of editorial coverage.
Key Metrics: Number of editorial mentions in trade and business press (monthly/quarterly/annually)
Number of leads that can be directly attributed to editorial coverage
Benchmarks:	Number of editorial mentions compared to prior period
Number of editorial mentions of competitors in comparable time period
Recommend: Hold PR firm accountable for quantity, scale and frequency of trade media placements
Hold PR firm accountable for number of placements in trade analyst coverage
Create lead source for major editorial coverage and associate web and sales leads accordingly
While a social media presence is not always a high priority for B2B marketers, it is advisable to at least maintain a Twitter handle, a Facebook page and a LinkedIn company profile, which need to be updated consistently in order to remain credible. Social media activities are relatively low cost to maintain (an hour or two per day of a junior level marketing staffer or intern). While it may be difficult to directly attribute revenue to the social channel, it is highly measurable in other ways and can be a big driver of awareness and thought leadership.
Key Metrics:	Frequency of blog posts, Tweets and LinkedIn and Facebook status updates
Number of Twitter followers and Facebook "Likes"
Traffic to blog page
Benchmarks:	Compare by channel to frequency of key competitors' audience size and frequency of updates
Recommend: Report amount of hours spent and frequency of communication by each social media channel
Website Traffic and Analytics
A company's website is the transom across which leads that cannot be attributed to a specific program will make their way into the company's sales process. Monthly or annual benchmarks for traffic and leads should be established, but more importantly just looking at and discussing site analytics can lead to great marketing opportunities.
Key Metrics: Monthly unique visitors
Number of leads via the contact form
Source of traffic and leads
Benchmarks: Compare recent traffic and lead patterns to those immediately following the launch of a new site
Recommend: Monthly reporting of unique visitors and leads
Communicating with clients and prospects via e-mail is relatively easy and inexpensive and a newsletter can drive leads by introducing new products, promoting a hosted event or just serving as a trigger to remind a buyer to include the company on its next RFP. Whether completion of a lead form is tracked from a click or you rely on reps to indicate that a client mentioned having received our email, leads from dedicated mailings and newsletters should be tracked in the CRM whenever possible.
Key Metrics:	Size of mailing list and frequency of sending to the list
Email open rate and click rates
Lead forms completed as a result of clicks from within newsletters
Benchmarks: Compare size of mailing list, open rate and CTR trends over comparable periods of time
Recommend: Report on frequency of client communication, open rate and number of leads generated
Product Marketing and Collateral
While not an obvious marketing program expenditure, marketing typically spends an inordinate amount of time on product positioning, differentiation, launch promotions and collateral. For the most ROI-obsessed marketers, a field for "product marketing and collateral" can be created in the CRM as a place for sales reps to track when a particular sales deck, individual piece of collateral or knowledge they obtained from a product specialist resulted in their winning a piece of new business.
Key Metrics: Number of man-hours spent on product marketing related programs
Number of opportunities cited by reps as being the result of product marketing initiatives
Benchmarks: Compare growth of new opportunities from product marketing over comparable time periods
Recommend: Identify a new vertical (Education) or product (Brand-DR Connect) and measure product sales
Instilling ROI Values in the Organization
To avoid the traditional tension between sales and marketing, align their objectives from the beginning under a common value proposition and goal. Marketing can take on planning, implementation and measurement of programs while Sales is recognized as the catalyst for winning deals. Account management (operations) also has a role in retaining customers and increasing their lifetime value.
Avoid Sales not entering leads through training and by making the lead source a required field in the CRM. Sales should also be discouraged to attribute leads to a marketing activity just because they want to "help" Marketing. Incentives should be focused on encouraging an honest assessment of where leads come from and enlisting everyone on the team in tracking our ROI so we can make more intelligent decisions about where to place our marketing dollars based on real experience about what works and what doesn't.
Key recommendations for measuring return on investment from marketing can be summarized as including:
•	Enlist Marketing in refining metrics and benchmarks and determining specific goals
•	Make lead source a required field in the CRM and frequently update lead source picklist
•	Enlist PR firm in defending their value for media relations activities and reaffirm goals
•	Train Sales about the importance and how to properly account for marketing-related leads
•	Regularly analyze deal size by source
•	Undertake win/loss analysis to determine LTV measurement
Multiple touch-points with an audience, at varying costs and at varying scale and quality will influence each sale, make it difficult to attribute revenue to any single marketing program. Attempting to create a common unit of measurement or scoring system across programs, while possible in theory, would be a futile effort since integrated marketing by its nature is designed to leverage the combined effect of all programs rather than any individual component.
Although it is useful to understand which marketing programs drive new business most efficiently, and the marketing organization can use the key metrics and benchmarks contained in this report to make future recommendations, ultimately management and investors should be more concerned with the cost to acquire a qualified lead (eCPL) and the most effective rate at which to drive awareness (eCPM).
How we make decisions about future expenditures is dependent on our personal experience, recommendations based on others' experience and our belief in the audience composition of a particular program as described by sales people presenting new opportunities we may know little about. Sometimes the risk of not participating in a program can be as much a determining factor as there being a high likelihood for something positive to come of the investment. No matter what the program or how it was selected, there is always the need (and likely the ability) to test and verify.
The primary reason for tracking the return on marketing investments is to make better decisions about where to make subsequent investments based on the success of prior decisions. However, there are no guarantees that any investment in marketing will result in acquiring a new client or maintaining an existing one. The metrics, benchmarks and recommendations contained in this post are merely guidelines and observations based on my experience. I would appreciate your feedback, as I continue to understand and share insights on this important topic for B2B marketers.
