Cozy Up To Antonella Rizza
by AlexEnglish
Antonella Rizza is one of the top Italian fashion talents in luxury knitwear & swimwear
With summer quickly approaching, we've got Italian fashion—and a world full of fabulous summer destinations—on our minds.
We reached Antonella Rizza, the label from the same part of Italy as Brunello Cucinelli, to discuss Italy, COVID-19, and what to wear this summer.
*This interview was partially translated from Italian into English.
Antonella Rizza is a brand with a double philosophy: on one hand, the search for calm marked by contact with nature, and on the other—exuberance, resoluteness, and a desire for the unconventional.
Why Antonella Rizza is rooted in knitwear
Q: You take inspiration from the Umbria region, which is known for its knitwear. Tell us a bit about the significance of Umbria and why Antonella Rizza is rooted in knitwear.
Umbria is characterized by gentle peaks covered with luxuriant woods and by large valleys drawn by rivers, lakes and waterfalls; hills in the area are often crowned by enchanting villages and suggestive castles, crossed by untainted paths steeped in history, art and culture, in a naturalistic context that restores the body and soul.
This is the Green Heart of Italy and right against the background of this scenario at the beginning of the 1900s an activity that had stopped for a few centuries returned to be reborn: weaving.
Small artisans began to dust off old looms and within a few years, thanks to their passion and the evolution of the machinery used, they lead the textile sector to grow until it becomes an absolute excellence of the region; an excellence that started from small domestic workshops which, during the 1900s, evolved into factories and companies still in business today.
Antonella Rizza could not avoid being influenced by the traditions of her homeland and that is why her brand is based on the meticulous choice of fine yarns, on the care of the workmanship and the constant search for new trends.
The designer, driven by an unconditional passion for aesthetics, beauty and details, manages to create creations of the highest quality that aim for perfection. Creative ideas that come to life by expressing themselves through refined, refined and unconventional details. These are the canons that characterize the Antonella Rizza collection and that reflect the soul of its designer.
Unique Italian fashion
Q: What makes your designs unique? What makes them special?
Antonella Rizza is a brand with a double philosophy: on one hand, the search for calm marked by contact with nature and confidentiality; on the other—exuberance, which becomes resoluteness and desire for unconventional.
The luxury knitwear and swimwear collection is designed for leading, strong, independent women looking for uniqueness. Women who play with the versatility of garments and fabrics. A riot of glamour, color, quality and originality.
Q: Tourists have come to Italy for years to discover new names in luxury Italian fashion. Why do you think Italians are so good at craftsmanship and design?
Fashion is an element that characterizes and marks every area of contemporary life, especially in a country like ours which has made "Made in Italy" its calling card on the international market.
The prestige of Italian fashion industry in the world is due to a range of products of excellence which are recognized with unique distinctive characteristics: the high quality level of the materials used, the refined style, innovation, attention to detail, craftsmanship. These elements define the "Made in Italy" moniker and are why so many luxury goods are made in Italy.
Italians speak of feelings and experiences, and they have a cult of beauty inherent in their DNA. "Clothing, food, architecture, design and music" are the beauty and the very soul of Italy.
Products and services that have a strong identity are loved by consumers, who help build the culture and community behind a brand. These are the elements of "Italianness" that inspired the consumption of food, fashion and music.
Italy is a Republic founded on beauty: for centuries the Italian people have invested in study, research and art, giving life to the wonders that surround us. In this context, the excellence of architecture, fashion and design took shape, up to one of the great pleasures of life that distinguishes our country: food.
The good table of an Italian restaurant is a combination of all these characteristics, it is an experience in its pure state, it is the epicenter of good living, it is the meeting point between beauty and well-being.
The future of Italian tourism
Q: On the subject of tourism—2020 was a challenging year for everyone, but also a year of reflection and creative idle. What positives have come out of the last year, for you or for the business?
2020 was a challenging year for everyone, a year that will go down in history!
However, despite everything, we did not get down, we got up and brought out the best in ourselves. It has given us the opportunity to look to the future with a different awareness and outlook, it has allowed us to appreciate the past, it has forced us to stop and become aware of the true values that give meaning to our existence.
A pause that led us to communicate more consciously, which united us beyond physical distances. In this year, so different and complex, we have focused on beauty, on the true value essence of Made in Italy, made unique by research and craftsmanship at the expense of Fast Fashion.
The foundations of tradition, combined with the drive to always create something new, have been our benchmark for designing the future.
Q: As an insider, what are your favorite spots in Italy to eat, take aperitivo, and shop? Favorite bars? Best historical/touristic spots to see? Are there any places you would suggest our readers not miss if they visit (when we can travel more freely again)?
In our opinion, all of Italy is beautiful to visit! At least once in their life, everyone should take a trip from north to south of the Bel Paese! Italy is a wonderful and unique place in the world.
A country rich in art and history, renowned for its craftsmanship and adored for its food and wine heritage in every corner of the planet. Italy lives and brings to life unique and authentic experiences through villages, museums, monuments and countless typical local products, which vary from region to region and city to city, a bit like dialects.
Italy is the cradle of beauty and bio-diversity: we are the country with the largest number of Unesco heritage sites in the world. And the one that has the greatest biodiversity in the world in terms of fauna and plant species in terms of the ratio between surface and absolute numbers. And this diversity in the cradle of the Mediterranean is our true wealth. An intrinsic wealth, a fortune to be loved, preserved, valued. And of which, as Italians, we are very proud!
The Antonella Rizza guide to Umbria
When you can finally return to travel freely, we recommend that you come and discover or rediscover Italy and start your journey from Umbria, our magical land!
Here you can visit the wonderful Assisi, the city of San Francesco, the noble Perugia, with its history made up of Etruscan monuments and medieval testimonies, the small and enchanting Spello, the elegant Spoleto, the suggestive Orvieto, the Marmore waterfalls, the highest in Italy, and Lake Trasimeno, with its three characteristic islands.
Antonella Rizza is headquartered in this unique context, right at the foot of Assisi. One of the most famous destinations in the world where you can experience incomparable moments, perhaps trying the thermal experience of the exclusive SPA NUN Resort, a luxury spa that overlooks the Umbrian valley, or dining at the Locanda del Cardinale, an enchanted place below a frescoed sky, where every dish becomes excellence.
But the beauties of the region are told by many small pearls scattered throughout the territory: from Montefalco, with its views and the beautiful San Francesco Museum, but also with a terroir full of wineries and suited to Sagrantino, one of the finest red wines in Italy.
Italy, up to Bevagna, a medieval village among the most beautiful of the boot, is famous for the historical re-enactment of the Mercato delle Gaite, admired all over the world. And again the naturalistic beauties of Valnerina, known for its truffles, for its food and wine excellences, for its butchery, for its rivers and for two jewels such as Cascia, the city of Santa Rita, and Norcia, the city of San Benedetto (famous for its water).
Moving south you can be surprised by the lake of Pediluco, a small corner of Paradise, or by the inlets of the Tiber which at Baschi forms the Corbara lake, on whose banks you can stop to take advantage of one of the most famous tables of 'Italy, that of starred chef Gianfranco Vissani who has his splendid restaurant right here. Moving towards the north of the region, one cannot fail to mention the wonderful city of Gubbio with its panoramic square and its Roman theater or the small but enchanting Montone, another auteur village home to a film festival presided over by none other than the acclaimed director Terry Gilliam.
Moving westwards you arrive at the lake area and then towards the border between Lazio and Tuscany you will discover another small pearl: Città della Pieve, known for its beautiful architecture and for the precious saffron.
To this mosaic of villages and designer destinations we must then add a network of quality events that have always distinguished our region: Umbria Jazz, the famous Jazz festival held in July in Perugia, the Festival dei Due Mondi, another spectacular container culture of music, theater and dance in Spoleto between June and August, or the Festival of Nations, which animates Città di Castello between August and September.
But if Umbria represents the beginning of your journey being the heart, even geographic, of Italy, then you can later make it a base to move north or south.
Where to visit in Tuscany
To the north, an obligatory stop is Florence, less than two hours from Perugia, rich in artistic and historical beauties, cradle of the best of Italian art, where you can visit the Uffizi Museum, the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella and countless other places full of beauty.
Here luxury shopping is guaranteed and free time can be spent on a taste path that passes through one of the best places for a Fashion aperitif such as Le Ménagère, and then sublimated at the Panorama restaurant la Scaletta, where you can dine among the roofs of Florence.
Very beautiful are also the countless places overlooking the Arno river, where you can enjoy a good glass of red Montalcino at sunset, enjoying the splendid panorama of the historic Florentine buildings.
Where to visit around Milan
Further north, and just an hour and forty minutes by fast train from Florence, we arrive in the world capital of fashion and design: Milan, a real modern metropolis. Headquarters of the Italian stock exchange, it is a financial center famous for its restaurants and exclusive shops. The Gothic-style Cathedral and the convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie, which houses the fresco "The Last Supper" by Leonardo da Vinci, testify to the artistic and cultural heritage of the city.
In Milan, the aperitif is a ritual that is consumed every day and that unites professionals and bankers, designers and students, stylists and artists in an endless number of places from the banks of the Navigli to the district in constant artistic and cultural ferment of Isola.
Among the most popular places for the Milanese jet set are the new and trendy Rooftops overlooking the new skyline of the city, such as the Ceresio 7 Pools & Restaurant or the Radio Rooftop Bar, a unique place with an international soul, extremely elegant.
If, on the other hand, you want to move south from Perugia, the first inevitable stop, 2 hours drive from the Umbrian capital, can only be Rome, the Eternal City.
Where to visit around Rome
The capital of Italy is a large cosmopolitan city with an artistic, architectural and cultural history that has influenced the whole world and dates back to almost 3000 years ago. There are thousands of activities, monuments to visit, places to discover and a book would not be enough to tell them all.
What we can recommend is a candlelit dinner at the Aroma Restaurant, a Michelin star in front of the Colosseum. Undoubtedly an important dinner but one that will remain in your heart forever. Luxury shopping in one of the most important streets Via Condotti is enhanced by the setting of the city's monuments, which makes everything much more fascinating with its landing at the foot of Trinità dei Monti. And you can't miss a visit to the Vatican Museums.
The South of Italy
Moving south you will be spoiled for choice: the beautiful Naples, the Amalfi Coast, a place that takes your breath away, Puglia with its beautiful cities, such as Trani, Bari, Alberobello, Lecce or Gallipoli. Calabria with its fascinating contrasts. Or Sicily, a small world of its own, made up of traditions, scents, unique flavors, unforgettable cuisine, extraordinary sweets, uncontaminated seas, beautiful islands and millenary history, such as the valley of the temples of Agrigento, the Ancient Theater of Taormina or the suggestive Ortigia Island in the heart of Syracuse.

text:
Rafael Marques de Morais (Luanda, 31 d'agost de 1971) és un periodista d'investigació i activista polític d'Angola que fou conegut internacionalment pels seus articles sobre la indústria de diamants i la corrupció a Angola. Manté un website anticorrupció denominat Maka Angola.

Primers anys
Mentre creixia, Marques es va inquietar per l'empitjorament de l'estat del seu país: "Mai no havia sentit parlar d'un advocat, no tenia idea que eren els drets humans, no tenia idea de què era la lluita contra la corrupció", va recordar més tard. "Em vaig adonar que la forma d'abordar els problemes que em preocupaven era ser periodista."

Va rebre un BA (Hons) Antropologia & Media de Goldsmiths, Universitat de Londres i un postgrau en estudis africans de St Antony's College, Universitat d'Oxford. Es va establir com a periodista en 1992 en el diari estatal Jornal de Angola.

Poc després d'ingressar a Jornal de Angola, Marquès va escriure un article sobre les properes eleccions presidencials en què va citar les crítiques d'un líder de l'oposició a dos Santos. No tenia la intenció de publicar la cita al diari, sinó que, per algun error editorial, va aparèixer en el document. Marques va ser castigat amb un trasllat al taulell de notícies local. A causa de la seva continuada "tendència a injectar comentaris socials no desitjats fins i tot al reportatge més sec", va seguir sent degradat. Un dia, assignat a escriure sobre les últimes estadístiques nacionals, va incloure l'anàlisi política. "I aquesta va ser l'última palla", va dir després a un periodista. Va ser acomiadat.

El 1998 es va reprendre la guerra civil angolesa. El 1999 poc després de publicar la peça d'opinió "Cannon Fodder", Marques va començar a recopilar signatures en una petició que demanava el final de la guerra. Va ser atacat per ràdio i per premsa. Entre 1998 i 2004 va treballar per a l' Open Society Foundations, del magnat George Soros, en projectes de suport a l'educació, comunicació social, democràcia i drets humans a Angola, actuant en col·laboració amb el Ministeri d'Educació del país. En gener de 2005 es va desvincular de l' Open Society.

O baton da ditadura
El 3 de juliol de 1999, la revista setmanal Angola va publicar un article de Marques titulat O baton da ditadura (El llapis de llavis de la dictadura, un joc de paraules basada en el terme portuguès per a una porra policial). En ell, va criticar al President d'Angola, José Eduardo dos Santos. Marques va titllar Dos Santos de dictador i el va acusar de destruir Angola i promoure "la incompetència, la malversació i la corrupció com a valors polítics i socials". Tres mesos més tard, el 16 d'octubre, Marques era arrestat a casa seva a Luanda i acusat de difamació.

El van detenir durant quaranta dies sense càrrecs i no se li va permetre contactar amb la seva família o un advocat. A la nit, "la policia esclatarà, el despertarà i intentarà obligar-lo a signar documents en blanc que posteriorment podrien ser utilitzats contra ell". Quan es va negar, li van negar menjar i aigua. Marques va passar una vaga de fam que es va fer pública. Com a resultat, va ser traslladat a una altra presó, on se li va donar menjar, però on la seva cel·la estava tan plena que "els presoners dormien recolzats contra les parets que s'arrossegaven amb els polls".

Gràcies a l'augment de la pressió internacional sobre Angola impulsada pels esforços de l'Open Society Institute, Marques va ser alliberat sota fiança el 25 de novembre, amb la condició que es quedés a Luanda i no parlés amb periodistes ni fes declaracions públiques. El 15 de desembre, sense explicació, el Tribunal Provincial de Luanda va transferir el seu cas a la Cort Suprema d'Angola.

Segons el Comitè per a la Protecció dels Periodistes, el govern de dos Santos "va començar una campanya d'abús verbal contra Marques", citant una declaració del legislador Mendes de Carvalho, durant un debat parlamentari del 19 de gener de 2000 sobre la llibertat de premsa, que si Marques seguia criticant dos Santos "no arribaria als 40 anys".

Judici
El seu judici va començar el 9 de març de 2000. Va ser acusat de conformitat amb la Llei 7/78 de Angola, també coneguda com la Llei de Crims contra la Seguretat de l'Estat. El Comitè per a la Protecció dels Periodistes va acusar que "la Llei 7/78 viola l'article 35 de la Constitució angolesa de 1992, que garanteix el dret a la llibertat d'expressió".

Encara que s'havia programat que fos escoltat davant la Cort Suprema, el cas de Marques va ser remès a la Cort de Divisió Penal, on va ser escoltat davant Joaquim de Abreu Cangato, antic membre de la policia secreta d'Angola sense formació legal. El 10 de març el procés es va allargar fins al 21 de març. En aquesta data, Cangato va ordenar que els espectadors, inclosos funcionaris d'ambaixades de EUA i Portugal, activistes de drets humans i periodistes, sortissin de la sala del tribunal, després de la qual cosa el procés continuava en secret.

El 31 de març Marques va ser considerat culpable del càrrec d'abús de la premsa, que va provocar una "injúria" al president. Va ser sentenciat a sis mesos de presó, però va romandre lliure pendent d'un recurs. També va ser sancionat amb 17,000 per dòlars USA $.

El Departament d'Estat dels Estats Units va expressar la seva preocupació perquè Marques no hagués rebut un judici just. El Comitè per a la Protecció dels Periodistes va condemnar fortament la fiscalia. El 27 d'octubre, sota pressió internacional, la Cort Suprema va canviar la condemna de Marques per una sentència suspesa amb la condició que no escrigués res difamatori sobre el govern durant els cinc anys següents. També se li va ordenar que pagués danys al President i el seu passaport va ser confiscat fins a finals de febrer de 2001.

Treballs posteriors
Després de l'incident de difamació, Marques es va centrar en l'acabament de la guerra civil angolesa, organitzant una coalició de 250 líders cívics i religiosos per demanar una resolució pacífica. El 14 de juliol de 2001, va ser detingut de nou després de visitar persones desallotjades en un camp de reassentament fora de Luanda amb el periodista de la BBC Justin Pearce; les persones del camp havien estat desallotjades per la força d'un barri de la ciutat que aparentment havia estat reedificat per al desenvolupament comercial.

Entre 1999 i 2002, Marques va escriure una sèrie d'articles sobre el comerç de diamants de sang a la província de Luanda i la corrupció a la província de Cabinda, un important centre petrolier. Segons la seva cita al Premi Coratge Civil, "les seves crítiques no marcades sobre la brutalitat de l'exèrcit angolès i la malversació del govern i els interessos petroliers estrangers el van posar en extrem risc personal".

En 2003 va escriure Cabinda: A Year of Pain, un catàleg de centenars d'abusos contra els drets humans presumptament infligits a la població per part de les forces del govern i d'altres. En diversos informes de drets humans, i en el llibre de setembre de 2011 Diamantes de Sangue - Corrupção e Tortura em Angola, va descriure l'assassinat i la terrorització dels vilatans per part de companyies privades de seguretat i oficials angolesos en nom de protegir les operacions mineres. Al novembre de 2011 va emetre una denúncia penal que acusa nou generals angolesos de crims contra la humanitat en relació amb la mineria de diamants. Simultàniament fou denunciat per difamació per la Sociedade Mineira do Cuango Ltda., empresa amb seu a Luanda ique explora diamants a la conca del riu Cuango, a la província de Lunda-Nord, i per Teleservice, una empresa de seguretat privada. El procés fou arxivat en 2013, per falta de proves, a petició del Ministeri Públic portuguès.

El 2008 va fundar un lloc web contra la corrupció anomenat Maka Angola.

Posteriorment fou processat novament arran del llibre Diamantes de Sangue sota l'acusació de "denúncia calumniosa" contra el president José Eduardo dos Santos, acció promoguda per set generals, entre ells Hélder Vieira Dias Kopelipa, ministre d'Estat i cap de la Casa Militar del President de la República d'Angola, i dos antics caps d'Estat Major General de les Forces Armades Angoleses, João de Matos i Armando da Cruz Neto. Rafael Marques va anar a judici el 24 de març de 2015 al Tribunal Provincial de Luanda. A més, el procés es va suspendre fins al 23 d'abril, perquè es van presentar noves queixes sense haver estat notificat l'acusat.

Altres activitats professionals
Marques ha participat en diverses conferències i seminaris internacionals, incloent "Transitions: A Conversation with National Leaders," patrocinat per la Universitat de Nova York i l'Acadèmia Internacional de la Pau i celebrat a Nova York el març de 2005; "Beyond 'Conflict Diamonds:' a New Report on Human Rights and Angolan Diamonds," celebrat al Centre Woodrow Wilson per a acadèmics internacionals a Washington, DC, el 24 de març de 2005; i "Angola's Oil Curse," a la Conferència Post-Nobel sobre "Oil Revenues – From Curse to Blessing for Developing Countries?", celebrada el 17 de desembre de 2004.

Reconeixements
Marques va rebre el Premi Percy Qoboza de l'National Association of Black Journalists en 2000. En 2006 va rebre el Premi Coratge Civil de la Northcote Parkinson Fund, que reconeix la "resistència ferma al mal amb un gran risc personal". En 2015 Marques va rebre el Premi Llibertat d'Expressió de l'Index on Censorship.

L'1 d'octubre de 2015, Rafael Marques de Morais va ser declarat beneficiari del Premi Allard per la Integritat Internacional, compartint el premi de CDN$100,000 amb John Githongo. En el moment de la seva nominació, Marques va dir que "és un impuls per al meu treball i un trencament important del meu aïllament i l'assetjament regular. També proporciona un raig d'esperança per als angolesos que creuen en la importància d'exposar la corrupció com a delicte i principal flagell de la societat."

Paid Traffic for Your Healthcare Website?
Paid Traffic: is There a Place for it in Healthcare?
Whether there is a place for paid traffic in healthcare really comes down to the return-on-investment (ROI) calculation. We'll return to that in a moment. But first, let's review a brief history of advertising in medicine, then review how "paid traffic in healthcare" differs from "advertising in healthcare." Finally, I will touch on the ROI of content marketing in healthcare, and – finally – get to the point: the value of paid traffic for your clinical practice.
That all changed in 1975, when the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) persuaded the AMA to lift this ban, under threat of "restraint of trade" violations.
Americans mistakenly believed that the competition created by allowing doctors to advertise would follow economic norms. If that had happened (clearly, it did not happen), it would have resulted in better healthcare, and less expensive healthcare. As we are all painfully aware, this did not happen.
I am in strong agreement with Dr. Tomycz that advertising has denigrated and defamed our profession. In other words, I think that advertising in healthcare has resulted in a decline in the quality of the physician-patient relationship. Read Dr. Tomycz's editorial for his articular and impassioned insights here.
There IS a difference between traditional "advertising" and online paid traffic, however. And – because the ultimate outcome of visitors arriving at your professional website depends on the value that you provide for them, as well as their perception of your personality and your practice philosophy – it is my opinion that paid traffic for your healthcare practice is, in a word, okay. Maybe even better than okay. Maybe a great way to expand your audience.
That is, paying for people to be shown your content – articles or postings on social media – does not offer the same temptation of false claims, limited and or biased information that competitive "advertising" presents.
Furthermore, if you build your website as an archive of accurate, useful, health information as advised on this blog, your website is merely the first connection, the first step, in a long-term relationship with prospective patients. In other words, it's up to you to provide value once visitors arrive at your website. If you are paying for those visitors (i.e., paid traffic), you have a pretty strong motive to give patients what they are looking for: sufficient value for them to stick around; for them to return; for them to consider your practice as their go-to resource for information and, ultimately, come to you for their care.
Once again, it all comes down to your ROI analysis.
As a brief review, ROI = profit/total investment … expressed as a percentage.
Typical ROI for traditional advertising is usually in single digits. Most traditional advertising campaign managers would be pleased with an ROI of 10% or greater. Note that the ROI for content marketing can run into double, or even triple digits! That is, comparing a paid traditional advertisement (let's say print ads, or direct mail as an example) with an article on a social media platform reveals that the digital content outperforms traditional media by at least a factor of 10-50. Hello!!
In other words, given that the cost of content marketing comes close to free, the return divided by the investment will be impressive.
The downside of content marketing is time … it takes time for "organic traffic" to discover your content, and for your content to rise in the search rankings. Meaning, it takes time for Google to become aware of your website, and to index your articles.
Content marketing also takes your time (or someone's time) to create the content. Of course, I've written extensively on creating content efficiently, with minimal time invested. But … even if you account for that time, and pay yourself an impressive hourly rate (say $100/hour) to produce your blog posts, content marketing still comes out waaay ahead of traditional marketing.
Paying for traffic speeds up that timeline.
Whether the cost of paid traffic makes sense for your practice will depend on the value of a patient to your practice. And by "value of a patient," don't simply consider the revenue from the initial visit: consider the revenue that a patient brings to your practice over the lifetime of the patient-practice relationship! Only then can you make an informed ROI calculation.
The "800-pound gorillas" in online advertising are Google (duh…I know!) and Facebook. Paid traffic with Google includes Adwords, but also YouTube ads – both offer similar options and targeting based on demographics and search behavior (they use "cookies" on computers to know where people have visited online, and what they've searched for).
Paid traffic, especially the "targeted" paid traffic that is possible with Facebook, increased the ROI in this way: when you can limit the views of your "boosted" content or "ads" to only those people who have an interest, you're not paying for irrelevant traffic. You don't pay for spurious "clicks" or views of your content.
Facebook is able to provide such "surgical targeting" through their huge data set they have accumulated on every Facebook user. If you routinely use Facebook to connect with friends, family, and colleagues, Facebook knows your gender, age, marital status, location, likes and dislikes (including cars, clothing, food), and much more. And…they also know these data for every one of the other people in your social network!
You must avoid HIPAA issues when "advertising" online. Never run an ad implying that you have specific expertise or will treat a specific diagnosis; never collect or share personally identifiable information (personal health info – PHI). For example, it is a huge no-no if your Facebook ad says, "Like our page if you have AIDS"!
Instead, offer information. Offer resources. And offer your CTA – your call-to-action to call your office for more information.
In my opinion, if you are conducting high-quality content marketing connecting, and want to increase traffic to your high-value website, paid traffic in healthcare can provide great ROI. However, managing the logistics and tech side of paid traffic can be overwhelming, especially for a busy practitioner or practice manager. My advice is to look for a reputable online ad manager.
If you have not already estimated the lifetime monetary value of a patient to your practice, these management services will seem pricey. But once you have a handle on your practice economics, it will become clear whether those management charges are justified.
My prediction: you will conclude that gaining even one new patient to your practice, is easily worth the cost of paid traffic to your website (your website, that provides accurate, useful health information that answers your patients' and prospective patients' health questions). Because people who are shown your content will return to your website as their go-to resource – they'll be engaged – … and ultimately come to you for their care.
Typical full-service online traffic management firms will charge a monthly fee based on your monthly Facebook (or Adwords) ad-spend. You are advised to do your due diligence. Look for online reviews. Ask for recommendations from colleagues, and references from the services.
As always, I encourage you to tell me about your experience with paid traffic (comment, below). Or anything else you like.

Wicked ex's web of lies saw innocent man's home raided by police
An innocent man said his ex-girlfriend's lies to police left him thinking he'd be better off dead.
Lewis Jolly was arrested six times and spent 81 hours in custody thanks to Courtney Ireland-Ainsworth.
She set up more than 20 fake Instagram accounts to send herself "vile" threats, then told police he was the culprit.
READ MORE: Merseyside scout leader groomed girl into sexual relationship
The teen even provided a photo of what she claimed was a scar to her chest, inflicted by him with a utility knife.
But her "web of poisonous deceit" was exposed when Instagram's owners Facebook revealed the false profiles were in fact linked to her own email accounts and IP addresses.
Ireland-Ainsworth, now 20, of Brackendale, Runcorn, appeared for sentence yesterday after admitting perverting the course of justice.
Mr Jolly was in attendance at Liverpool Crown Court as Paul Blasbery, prosecuting, read out a victim statement he made last June.
The 22-year-old said he dated Ireland-Ainsworth for two years, until their relationship ended in October 2019 on "okay terms".
When she started seeing a new partner, he said "there was no bad feelings between us", but in September 2020, she made the first of 10 false police statements.
Mr Jolly said: "I was charged with stalking offences and assaults that I had not committed. I was denied bail on one occasion and put before the court the next morning.
Courtney Ireland-Ainsworth sent a message to herself saying: "She is getting a f***ing blade in her chest."
"I felt like I was very close to being remanded into custody for a crime I had not committed."
The victim said being under investigation for four months was "the worst experience of my life".
Mr Jolly said police repeatedly turned up at his family's home in the early hours of the morning to arrest him, when officers searched the property and seized two of his mobile phones.
He said: "In between each arrest I lived in a constant state of anxiety, thinking that the police were going to arrive at any minute and arrest me again.
"I told police that I wasn't behind these Instagram accounts and that I felt like I was being set up, but yet each time Ainsworth reported something, I was arrested again.
"I felt powerless and didn't know how to protect myself from these allegations. I felt frustrated as it felt like no one was listening to me.
"At one stage I asked police to install CCTV in my address and to fit a GPS tracker to me, in an effort to prove my innocence.
"After my second mobile phone was seized by police, I decided not to get another one and no longer accessed social media or the internet. Other than going to work and occasionally going fishing, I stopped going out.
"I spent most of my time at home with my mum, so that I had an alibi for any future allegations."
A judge said Courtney Ireland-Ainsworth was calculating and cunning
Ireland-Ainsworth told police her former partner was stalking and harassing her, had verbally and physically abused her, put a brick through her nan's window, and threatened to stab her and her new boyfriend.
Mr Jolly said repeatedly getting arrested and detained in custody for questioning cost him his job.
He said: "This was frustrating for my employer. I explained to him that the allegations were malicious and that I hadn't done anything wrong and at first he was understanding, but in the end he had to let me go as I was repeatedly missing work and having to attend court hearings."
The victim said he lost earnings and was left out of pocket due to court costs and solicitor fees.

The experience had a "massive effect" on his physical and mental health, as he battled stress.
He said: "I lost weight as a result of this. It was affecting my sleep – I couldn't relax. I found that I struggled to sleep and when I could, it was broken.
"I started drinking more in an effort to help relax me and help me sleep. I found myself feeling very emotional at times and would break down crying.
"I've suffered panic attacks. I found that I was agitated and jumpy, particularly at night, and if someone knocked on the front door.
"I found that when I was working, I couldn't concentrate, my mind was elsewhere and this was affecting my work.
Courtney Ireland-Ainsworth created up to 30 fake Instagram accounts to dupe the police
"At my lowest point I felt like life wasn't worth living and thought to myself that I'd be better off dead."
Mr Jolly went to see his GP, who prescribed antidepressants, and he was referred for counselling.
He said the experience left him with "no desire to be in a relationship", it had a "huge effect" on his social life as he withdrew from friends and had no way of contacting them without a phone, and he didn't like to go out in case he saw Ainsworth because he feared she might make further accusations against him.
As her lies continued he was hit with stringent bail conditions, including a home curfew from 7pm to 7am daily.
Mr Jolly said: "I felt ashamed and embarrassed because I had a stalking protection order against me and was having to walk around with a tag on my ankle.
"It was embarrassing having the police turning up on so many occasions to arrest me. I found that my neighbours started to look at me differently because of how many times the police have taken me away.
"Having the stalking protection order against me and having to go to court in relation to this made me feel like a weirdo when I hadn't done what was alleged.
"For months my mum was keeping a record of my movements so that she could tell the police where I had been if I was arrested.
Courtney Ireland-Ainsworth claimed her ex-boyfriend filmed her walking down the street and sent her the video
"It was arranged that a friend would pick me up from home and drop me off at work so that I would always have an alibi for where I'd been and what I'd been doing."
Mr Jolly said his self-esteem was rocked, he became scared of police, and constantly feared his next arrest.
"As a grown adult this was very embarrassing and affected my self-esteem."
He said the ordeal also impacted on his family, including his then 15-year-old brother, and sister, aged nine, who live with him and his mum, after he received threats and one of their windows was smashed.
Mr Jolly said: "Since then my sister has been on pins, she wouldn't sleep in her own bed.

"I share a bedroom with my brother and every time the police arrested me our bedroom was searched, which invaded his private space.
"He was studying for his GCSEs at the time and was repeatedly woken up in the night when the police were arresting me and made to leave the bedroom while the police searched it.
"My mum has been off work with stress and anxiety – all linked to what I've been through. My mum, brother and sister have also received counselling.
"My dad had to take time away from his business to accompany me at court. This had a knock on effect and put him under financial pressure.
Courtney Ireland-Ainsworth admitted perverting the course of justice
"The consequences of Ainsworth's false allegations in this case really can't be underestimated."
Recorder Ian Harris said Ireland-Ainsworth had left her victim "a shell of the man he used to be".
He noted how in a pre-sentence report, she said she "wanted to hurt" Mr Jolly and didn't see that her actions were selfish.
The judge said he took into account her PTSD, which Ireland-Ainsworth blamed for her reaction to the breakdown of their relationship.
But he said there must be a deterrent custodial sentence as he handed her 10 months in a young offenders institution and made a 10-year restraining order to protect Mr Jolly.

I decided to develop a simple POV display keeping in line with the holiday spirit. the display can be mounted on a motor drive or used by hand.
The POV (Persistence of Vision) displays are based on the principle that the eye cannot discern movement beyond a certain speed. For example, a fast moving light would appear to be a contiguous line. This circuit exploits this principle to flash a straight line of LEDs in rapid succession in order to create words that appear in mid air. The circuit uses a PIC 16F88 microcontroller to control seven LEDs and flashes them based on the word that was programmed.
The LEDs are represented from most significant to least significant. 0 indicates off and 1 indicates on. After the desired letter is reached, wait for a few seconds for the character to be written to EEPROM. This will be indicated by all the LEDs going off. Repeat this process to program all the characters.
Dude I still cannot understand how can this work??
U have programmed A as 0000001.
On waving how will the 7 LED's make an "A".
for all the computer geeks i think this article is perfect concise and has just the adequate amount of information necessary with no extra nonsense perfect for someone whounderstands programming i think.

Q: How to update text when using mouseMoveMethod? I'm new to programming and take Javascript as a school course. I have come upon this problem, and have been stuck because I have been unable to update the text; for instance, when I move my mouse over the canvas, it just overlaps the text. Is there any solution to updating text, or am I just missing something basic?
/* This program displays the x and y
 * coordinates in a label on the screen
 * and updates when the mouse moves */

function start(){
    mouseMoveMethod(drawCoordinates);

}

function drawCoordinates(e){
    var txt = new Text(e.getX(), "15pt Arial");
    var text = new Text(e.getY(), "15pt Arial");
    txt.setPosition(100, 100);
    txt.setColor(Color.black);
    add(txt);
    text.setPosition(100, 200);
    text.setColor(Color.black);
    add(text);
}

A: The problem is that you're creating a new Text every time the drawCoordinates method executes.
If this was browser based, you'd need something like this...
function drawCoordinates(e){
    //Check if we can find the lable for X first.
    //If we can't, create a new one....

    var txt = document.getElementById('txtX');
    if(txt==null)
    {
        txt = new Text(e.getX(), "15pt Arial");
        txt.setPosition(100, 100);
        txt.setColor(Color.black);

        add(txt);
    }
    else
        txt.text = e.getX();

    //and the same for Y

}

Hope that helps

Illinois Economy Rebounding, According To Flash Index
Jim Meadows
Photo: Alex Coleman/Illinois Newsroom
URBANA – The Illinois economy has been in growth mode for two months in a row, according to the University of Illinois Flash Index.
https://illinoisnewsroom.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/NEWS20210608_Flash_WRAP.mp3
Any reading above 100 on the Flash Index means economic growth. The May reading was at 105.3. That's up from April's 101.5, and almost as high as the February 2020 reading of 105.7. (Find an archive of Flash Index readings here.)
University of Illinois economist Fred Giertz prepares the Flash Index for the University of Illinois Institute of Government and Public Affairs. He says the jump in the May reading largely reflects the improvement in the state's economy since May of last year, when the Flash Index hit a low point of 92.8. He says it doesn't mean the Illinois economy has recovered to pre-pandemic levels.
"The Flash Index is not a measure of the absolute level of the economy," said Giertz. "It's a measure of the momentum of the economy, growth and so on."
The Flash Index is calculated from monthly receipts for Illinois sales and income taxes, providing a quick snapshot of the state economy. Giertz says state tax revenues have made a strong recovery from the declines suffered during the first months of the pandemic.
"So the economy itself, in terms of how much is being produced, is probably ahead of where it was 15 months ago," said Giertz. "But unemployment is still quite a bit higher."
Giertz notes that Illinois' unemployment rate is currently at 7.1%. While better than the 16.4% rate of April 2020, it is still higher than pre-pandemic 4.0% reported for the state in January 2020, or the low of 3.6% reported in early 2000. (The unemployment figures are supplied by the Illinois Department of Employment Security).
Giertz attributes the slow improvement in state employment to the longer time required for the hiring process, compared to layoffs. But he also says unemployment benefits and federal stimulus funding may be causing some people to wait before reentering the workforce, which he said is "not necessarily a bad thing".
"If you have a base income, stimulus or from unemployment, you can be a little bit more careful and maybe carry out your search for a longer period of time," said Giertz.
While Giertz says the Flash Index is not an economic forecaster, he says the Illinois economy is likely to keep growing, at least through 2021, thanks to increased COVID-19 vaccinations and the gradual reopening of the economy.
"People didn't have any place to spend their money during the lockdown," said Giertz. "There's a lot of pent up demand there as well. So everything seems to be aligning to suggest a good six months or so, the rest of this year."

The Green New Deal is – finally – a plan with the scope and ambition necessary to transition our society and economy away from fossil fuels and fend off the oncoming climate crisis.
Scientific research is now virtually unanimous: Unless we take drastic action to get carbon emissions under control in the next decade, by the year 2040, the global ecosystem will tip into an irreversible slide toward breakdown. In the United States, warming will devastate every sector of the economy, from agriculture to public health.
The Green New Deal is a plan to prevent this – and more. A proposal by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Green New Deal would entirely transform the U.S. economy, shifting us to 100 percent renewable energy within 10 years. Named for Pres. Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal that helped lift the United States out of the Great Depression in the 1930s, the Green New Deal is a sweeping program of investment – not only in clean energy, but also in jobs, income inequality, infrastructure, and racial justice. It would give us an economy that is sustainable, strong and fair after our transition away from carbon.
By some estimates, a Green New Deal could create 10 million jobs over the next decade by putting Americans to work on the sustainable technology and infrastructure we need to transition away from fossil fuels. It would reduce income inequality and bring solutions to communities that have been left behind.
Like Pres. Roosevelt's New Deal, this plan is ambitious – but it is necessary and possible. To make it a reality, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, 45 members of Congress and groups like our allies at the Sunrise Movement – an organization of young climate activists – have urged Speaker Nancy Pelosi to establish a House Select Committee on a Green New Deal with a mandate to create a solid plan by 2020 to transition to 100 percent clean energy by 2030, invest in communities on the frontlines of poverty and pollution, and guarantee good jobs to all who are willing to work for these goals. More than 61,000 CREDO activists have called on House Democrats to support Rep. Ocasio-Cortez's proposal.
In addition, activists took their demands directly to Speaker Pelosi to demand immediate action on a new select committee: Hundreds of activists from Sunrise Movement staged multiple protests in the Capitol, the first of which was attended by Rep. Ocasio-Cortez herself, urging Speaker Pelosi to establish the select committee and make climate action front and center in the new Congress. Unfortunately, Speaker Pelosi stopped short of doing so. Instead, she established the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis, which does not have the same mandate that climate activists have pushed for, such as allowing the committee to write legislation to transform our economy in the way that's needed to prevent a climate crisis.
To learn and read more about the Green New Deal, Vox has a detailed and lengthy explainer you can check out here.
If you're concerned about climate change, here's a step you can take right now: switch your phone service to CREDO Mobile and your home electricity to CREDO Energy. We fight for climate justice through CREDO Action and donate to environmental organizations that are fighting the climate crisis every day, as well as many other progressive nonprofits. Take a look at who we fund and vote for the organizations you think we should fund this month.

whereforth digital convergence?
January 17, 2005 — Leave a comment
Last Tuesday`s keynote address; at the opening of the MacWorld San Francisco conference; by Apple CEO Steve Jobs held little or no suprises for mac users who had been frequenting rumour sites online or following the spate of recent lawsuits by Apple. However it did not stop faithful attendees from reacting joyfully with each new product announcement.
However these new products were not necessarily aimed at the hardcore faithful, but to lure new users to the Macintosh fold. Leading this charge was the Mac Mini; a computer that may possibly be the future of household digital convergence.
The Mac Mini is Apple`s first foray into a sub-$500 computer and standard features include a 1.25Ghz G4 processor, 40Gb hard disk, 256Mb Ram, upgradable to 1Gb, slot-loading combo drive; CD-RW/DVD-Rom, 2 USB 2.0 ports, 1 Firewire (IEEE-1394) 400 port, ethernet and digital and analog video out support. The computer is not necessarily for first time buyers, as it comes bereft of keyboard, mouse or monitor. Because of its small footprint, the machine is not user upgrade, however optional factory installed upgrades include ram, Apple`s wireless solution; Airport, Bluetooth, SuperDrive; DVD-RW/CD-RW and an 80GB HD. There is also a marginally faster version of the Mini Mac with a 1.42Ghz G4 Processor and an 80Gb hard drive standard that retails for $599.
One of the first things you notice about the Mac Mini is the incredibly small profile; the machine measures two inches high by six and a half inches deep and wide; about the same height as a VCR. Although this machine seems primarily geared towards enticing ipod owning PC users to switch, the machine lends itself; with some tweaking; to become the centre piece of the long touted digital convergence. With WebTV attempting a second coming, this may be the ideal time for a device that connects to the internet, can manage your music, edit and create video and can connect through your television.
The other big hardware announcement at MacWorld was the ipod Shuffle; Apple`s entry into the flash MP3 player market. The Shuffle is incredibly small; and the assertion that it`s smaller than most packs of gum is not an exaggeration; in an average adult hand, it is barely visible and the retail prices of $99 and $149 for the 512MB and 1Gb versions make them readily accessible to almost everyone. On the day of the show, 20,000 were available for sale at the San Francisco Apple store two blocks away and within three and a half hours they were completely sold out. Ideal for users on the go and parents pandering to their children`s desire for an MP3 player, the Shuffle is an ideal size at an ideal price.
Lost in all the hardware hype at MacWorld was Apple`s attempt at not offending software manufactures with the iWork suite. iWork features two applications, Keynote 2; an upgrade to the original presentation application and a brand new piece of software called Pages.
Pages fills a void on the mac platform somewhere between Microsoft Publisher and Adobe Pagemaker; a simple user-friendly publishing application. With Adobe`s discontinuation of Pagemaker, low end users no longer had an option on the mac until now. Pages offers a multitude of templates for letters, newsletters, reports, brochures and resumes, that allow users to drag and drop their existing photos and text into.
Apple`s announcements at this expo catered to new and basic users, leaving high end users some what out in the cold, however there were many other exhibitors at MacWorld expo that filled that void.

On corruption in Colombia: conceptual framework, diagnosis and policy proposals
Vivian Newman Pont, Maria Paula Ángel | August 17, 2017
According to the Corruption Perceptions Index by Transparency International for 2016, Colombia obtained a rating of 37/100. How to characterize the phenomenon of corruption in Colombia and what academic and public policy strategies can be adopted to counteract it?
The publication "On corruption in Colombia: conceptual framework, diagnosis and policy proposals" was developed by Dejusticia between September 2016 and May 2017, at the request of Fedesarrollo and with the financial support of the Germán Botero de los Ríos Fund of that institution.
The study provides a general conceptual framework on corruption, identifies the main forms of corruption in Colombia, as well as the conditions that favor and facilitate their reproduction. Based on this, it preselected a set of public policy proposals from Chile and Peru that could be implemented in Colombia.
Finally, it suggests some research questions that should be addressed in the future to better understand some cultural, socio-normative and institutional issues that are typical of the Colombian case.
