Those Poor Orphaned Letters
The English language is a constantly evolving beast with lots of rules and quirks. For example, "orphan initialisms," which are acronyms that stand for…nothing.
MTV. The channel that started off as "Music Television" hasn't had a music video-schedule in decades, so it kind of makes sense that "MTV" is the network's actual name, and the "M" doesn't stand for anything.
KFC. Kentucky Fried Chicken went national in the 1960s, when a company name with "fried chicken" in it promised a homestyle meal. By the 1990s, the general health consensus was that fried foods, while delicious and homey, were unhealthy. Kentucky Fried Chicken officially became KFC to erase that certain F-word from its name.
IBM. International Business Machines was truly international, introducing a lot of technology to companies around the world. It even helped popularize computers. The firm became so successful that it had to change its name from International Business Machines to just plain IBM. The reason: It saved them the trouble of translating "International Business Machines" into dozens of other languages.
AMC. Around 2006, American Movie Classics started airing non-movie programming — such as hour-long series. Wanting a name to reflect that but not lose its branding, the channel renamed itself AMC. Just AMC.
TLC. The Learning Channel used to broadcast educational TV shows and academic documentaries. Today, it's a haven for reality fare like Dr. Pimple Popper and 90 Day Fiancé. There's not much "learning" going on, in other words, but the channel made sure to abbreviate its official name to a simple, meaningless TLC when it changed its programming.
ACT. Along with the SAT (or Scholastic Aptitude Test), the ACT is one of the country's standard standardized college entrance exams. ACT once stood for "American College Test," but its administrators changed its name to ACT Assessment (in which the "ACT" means nothing).
WWE. Once known as the WWF — short for World Wrestling Federation — the most famous pro wrestling organization changed its name to WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) about 20 years ago after a trademark dispute with the World Wildlife Fund (or, WWF). Today the league is known simply as WWE, Inc.
DVD. The dying video format had one too many "full" names, and, in the end, it wound up with none. The companies that developed the technology couldn't decide whether to name it "digital video disc" or "digital versatile disc," but since both phrases form the same acronym, just the acronym was used.

Numbers down for Loyal-Greenwood cross country
The meets may have changed a bit, the numbers may be fewer, but the members of the Loyal-Greenwood cross country team this fall are set to be as competitive as ever as the team is eager to get the fall sports season back up and running.
Coach Jim Genteman said there have been a couple challenges to returning to the field this fall as new rules and guidelines have been put into place, but most of the changes haven't affected the athletes in a big way.
"Since we are outside all the time, it is not as difficult to keep the proper distance that the school officials are requiring," he said. "Practices seem to be the least affected."
Meets, however, are another story entirely. With schools usually limiting participation from other schools to five teams and other schools not hosting their typical meets, Genteman said it has been a real challenge finding places to go to run. So far, they have managed to schedule seven meets, but would like to find ways to get more races in this season.
"The meets are limited to four or five teams and sometimes no middle school race," he said. "This also means you might, and we have, been bumped out of a meet. So we are looking for more meets and will also be hosting a second meet later in the season. We are also used to having a team meal the night before a meet, which is impossible to do with the restrictions."
In addition to the lost meets, there is some uncertainty around whether or not later season events such as conference, sectionals and state meets will be held, and if so, what they would look like. For now, Genteman has adopted a wait-andsee approach, but is hopeful the sports season will get better as time goes on and officials get more of an idea of what they can and can't do.
"As far as I know, conference, sectionals, and state have not been officially canceled," he said. "I'm not sure if restrictions will be lifted as time goes on."
This fall, there are six girls and seven boys out for the Loyal-Greenwood team. Having only gained two freshmen on the entire team after losing two seniors, two foreign exchange students and three others, both the girls and the boys have just enough for their teams.
"There are a total of seven missing from last year," said Genteman. "There were two seniors, two foreign exchange students, and three that chose not to come out. There are currently six girls and seven boys out at this point."
The girls team will consist of seniors Savannah Schley and Rylan Lindner, both athletes Genteman said will do very well this fall. They will be joined by sophomores Halle Aumann, Aubre Robida, Leah Scherer and Maci Bogdonovich.
"The girls team should be very competitive in most meets, since we will be mainly running against conference competition," said Genteman. "The girls team is led by seniors Savannah Schley and Rylan Lindner. They both were allconference performers, while Savannah took 12th at state. They are both excellent runners and role models. The other four girls are all sophomores. They feed off each other at practice and meets. They're a good group of girls."
The numbers for the boys are a bit more evenly scattered between grade levels. The team will be led by seniors Jaden Ruggles and Seth Genteman. The team also has two juniors in Ashton Palms and Avrey Horvath and Vaughn Zettler is the team's only sophomore. Cody Eckes and Connor Genteman are the team's freshmen.
"The boys will be in the middle of the pack," said Genteman on his expectations for the boys team. "Seth Genteman and Jaden Ruggles are the two seniors on the team. They should supply leadership and stability to the team. Avrey Horvath is a junior that is coming off a very good season that includes first team all-conference and just missed going on to state. Ashton Palms is another junior that is showing promise coming into this season. Rounding out the team are sophomore Vaughn Zettler and freshmen Connor Genteman and Cody Eckes."
The Loyal-Greenwood team held itsfi rst meet at home on Sept. 1 and went to a second meet in Spencer on Sept. 8. The team's next meets will be in Colby on Sept. 12 and Neillsville on Sept. 15.

Q: New to MySQL looking for Many-to-Many relationship query Some background I have a set of data that represents the alchemy ingredients and their effects from Skyrim. If you're unfamiliar with this you can combine 2-4 ingredients to make a potion. Each ingredient has 4 effects. If any effects between ingredients are the same it will make that type of potion. I've identified this as a many-to-many relationship and I set up my tables like so:
ingredients: ing_id (key), ing_name, (other supplemental info)
effects: eff_id (key), eff_name
ing_eff_xref: eff_id, ing_id
I would like to input 2 or more available ingredients and return possible combinations without knowing what the effects are. My sql experience is pretty much limited to phpmyadmin and simple select queries. I guess my questions are: is this the right way to structure the tables for this type of relationship, do I need to set foreign keys if I don't plan on updating the tables, and is there a query that can take a set of ing_names and return only eff_names that intersect?
Here is the mysqldump of the db if anyone is interested: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/59699040/alchemy_db.sql

A:
is this the right way to structure the tables for this type of relationship?

Yes, but then you don't need to have effect1 through effect4 on the ingredient table.

do I need to set foreign keys if I don't plan on updating the tables?

Yes.  The only way for you to get the data that you're after is by JOINing three tables together.  Without foreign keys (or more specifically, appropriate indexes), that may not perform well on queries.  Of course you do have a small number of rows overall, but using foreign keys is a good practice to follow in this type of scenario.

is there a query that can take a set of ing_names and return only
  eff_names that intersect?

I think you're after something like this:
SELECT e.eff_name
FROM ingredients i
INNER JOIN ing_eff_xref ie ON ie.ing_id = i.ing_id
INNER JOIN effects e ON e.eff_id = ie.eff_id
WHERE i.ing_name = 'Abecean Longfin ';

If you need to see effects for multiple ingredients, you could adjust your WHERE clause, like this:
WHERE i.ing_name IN ('Abecean Longfin ','Eye of Sabre Cat ','Bear Claws ');

You'll probably not want duplicate effects, so you could do a SELECT DISTINCT to eliminate those.
Can potion effects stack in Skyrim?  If they in can stack, then you can do a GROUP BY query with a COUNT to get the stacked value of each effect:
SELECT e.eff_name, count(*) as value
FROM ingredients i
INNER JOIN ing_eff_xref ie ON ie.ing_id = i.ing_id
INNER JOIN effects e ON e.eff_id = ie.eff_id
WHERE i.ing_name IN ('Eye of Sabre Cat ','Bear Claws ')
GROUP BY e.eff_name;

This query will list 6 effects with a value of 1, and "Restore Stamina" will have a value of 2.  Not sure if Skyrim potions work this way or not, but it was just an extra thought.

The Two Horseman & Other Characters With Jonathan Tumbel
Jonathan Tumbel, a young Australian photographer, shares two visual essays with Urth taken in Indonesia.
Jonathan Tumbel is a young creative from Sydney who's photographs coloured my screen recently. A series of photographs taken in Indonesia that conveyed an intriguing relationship between subject and photographer. I got in touch with Jonathan for the 411 and learned that the photographs were taken on a film set that Jonathan travelled to Indonesia to intern as an on-set photographer.
Travelling by car from Jakarta through Jawa Timur (Central Java) Jonathan made use of breaks from the set to capture the local community where the film set had set up. The resulting portraits and landscapes are honest and engaging. This was in early 2018. Jonathan went back to Indonesia later in the year and took another wondrous series of portraits. Shooting medium format this time Jonathan's soft eye focused on characters by the water and paints a moment of stillness in the passing of their days. An essay that shares a moment in the lives of those who live by the water and what it shares with them.
The two stories share similarities and differences, a film set and the enchanting every day, both evocative of the characters in the frame.
A young photographer to keep an eye on, we had a chat to learn a little more about the talent behind the lens. Thank you for your time Jonathan.
Lady and The Stray Dog, Bali.
Lady and The Stray Dog II, Bali.
Urth:
In your words, please tell us how you make a living?
Jonathan:
I work part-time at a warehouse for a furniture wholesaler in Smithfield.
What gets you up in the morning? And what's the first thing you do when you wake up?
Being blessed to be able to wake up every morning and to go out there and do your thing and see what the world has to offer. But what gets me up in the morning is my alarm, so the first thing I do is turn off my alarm and find my hair tie haha.
Man and the Sea, Bali.
"I did some research on some film photographers and then I knew it was something that I wanted to pursue. I think from then on I just wanted to take photos of everything and anything… A lot has changed since then."
At what age did you start photographing and what was it that sparked this passion?
Around 20 or 21 but it wasn't consistent, it was on and off. I was more into my art back then. I went through a phase of doing a lot of art, mostly doing acrylic paintings and digital paintings. I didn't really get into photography 'cause cameras were expensive and I couldn't afford one or maybe I just didn't want to spend big dollars on a camera. But I always enjoy a good photograph when I see one online or at the galleries/exhibitions. I remember a friend of mine bought a 35mm camera from an op shop and it was cheap back then, so I did my research on analog cameras and films and my mind was blown away with some of the images certain camera/film makes. I also did some research on some film photographers and then I knew it was something that I wanted to pursue. I think from then on I just wanted to take photos of everything and anything… A lot has changed since then. I'm hoping this year will ignite my photography career. I'm really going to try and focus on my photography more and hopefully get somewhere with it.
Sunrise, Bali. Fisherman, Bali. Man and the Sea II, Bali. Seaweed Lady, Bali. Fisherman II, Bali.
"The feeling of capturing what you imagined or better than what you imagined or something totally different than what you imagined but it still turned out good!…that's the best feeling."
What is it about making photographs that you love the most?
Why Indonesia?
It's my Motherland :)
Before The Ritual, Bali.
The Craftsman, Bali.
"I've always had a deep connection to my heritage (Indonesian). But when I went back to Bali recently, it was strange …in a good way."
What is the most unique and interesting situation photography has landed you in, so far?
Interning as a photographer for an Indonesian film in Indonesia. One of the most eye-opening experiences I've ever had. The film industry in Indonesia is crazy. Watching the people doing what they do is crazy and I have so much respect for them.
Sunrise, Bali.
What was inspirational to you about them?
Just how hard way they work and they always have a smile on their face even during the most stressful times. And all of them are doing what they love so that's why now I'm just trying to go all out on my photography this year.
Horseman, Bromo.
Pak Pon, Bromo.
Did your feeling change about Indonesia on these trips?
No not really because I've always had a deep connection to my heritage (Indonesian). But when I went back to Bali recently, it was strange… in a good way. Every time I went to the beach around Sanur and further up, I felt so at ease and just carefree. I don't know if it was the breeze, the sea, the people or all of that combined. It was just a good feeling.
Who or what are some of your inspirations, photographers or otherwise.
A lot of things inspire me, whether it's the people I'm surrounded by or an artwork that I really admire. Todd Hido was probably one of the first photographers that got me going. His photos are beyond. I don't even know how to describe some of his photographs, they're that bloody good. Every time I feel unmotivated I just read his book. But what has inspired me recently is Tom Craigs latest editorial shoot for Vogue Japan. It's ridiculously good. There's a photograph he took where he combined fashion and reportage/street and that's something I've always wanted to do.
What cameras and gear do you most enjoy using at the moment?
I've been using my Fuji 645 heaps recently, it's a cheaper version of the Mamiya 7 (which I'll get one day). I also have a Mamiya RZ67 that comes out of its cage every now and then, but that's a beast to carry around.
What is your favourite photobook?
The one and only photography book I have in my room, Todd Hido on Landscapes, Interiors and Some Nudes. There's probably some really good ones out there that I might really like but I don't really go out there and buy books. But I really should and I might start doing that this year…
The Two Horsemen, Bromo.
What's your favourite shot so far? And what's the story behind it?
Probably the Two Horsemen. It was early in the morning and it was a bit foggy and I saw them arriving on set and I just went in front of them and took a photo before they started shooting. The guys weren't in the film, it was just their horses.
Would you say your process is more documentation through your eyes, or a curated and staged story told through your photographs?
A bit of both. When I took the portraits in Bali, I'd ask my subject if would be able to take a photo of them. If they say yes, I straight away whip out my camera and start clicking. Sometimes I'll have a chat with them for a while and take photos in the middle of our conversation. I do give directions at times, just depends on my subject.
Can you tell us about a film/book/album that you've come across recently that left a lasting impression with you?
Nothing recently, I can't really think of anything, to be honest. But the last album I listened to that was on repeat was probably Jay Rock — Redemption or Kamasi Washington — Heaven on Earth.
Flower Lady, Bromo.
Horseman I, Bromo.
Where is a destination you would love to travel to with your camera?
Thats a really really tough question. Theres so many places i want to go and take photos. I seriously cant give you a straight answer… I'd like to go somewhere with a lot of culture but Im thinking of heading to either South America or Nepal and Vietnam this year so that will be something I am looking forward to.
If you couldn't be a photographer, what would you be?
Maybe doing something in a creative field like product design, graphic design or architecture. Although recently I've had an interest in becoming a youth worker or a primary school teacher. I also want to travel abroad and help kids or a community who are in need.
Riri Riza the Director, Bromo. Sunrise I, Bromo.
Thank you Jonathan Tumbel.

This session is the second of a three-part webinar series for the youth community, hosted by the Chicago and San Francisco Employment and Training (ETA) offices but open to all, to inspire strategic planning and action now in anticipation of the July 1, 2015 implementation date of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA).
As you prepare to deliver expanded services to youth under WIOA, come hear from a few of your peers who will share work experience models that are outcome-driven and evidence-based solutions for your possible replication. The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act places a new priority on work-based learning by providing that at least 20 percent of local youth formula funds be used for work experiences such as: summer and year-round employment opportunities, pre-apprenticeship programs, on-the-job training, and internships and job shadowing. During this webinar, WIA formula funded youth programs, YouthBuild, Conservation Corps, Apprenticeship and Pre-Apprenticeship programs will be highlighted for the innovative approaches they have taken to implementing work-based learning models into their programming. Come build off these successes - steal what you can and spark conversation around what else will work in your area.
The nation's most vulnerable youth are depending on all of us to get it right! Stay tuned for webinar on credential attainment under WIOA (April 29 from 2:00-3:30 Eastern).


Once you scan in the code these two cheeky fellas will begin causing all sorts of trouble in your snaps. Share them with friends, annoy your neighbour, and drive your teachers mad!
You can use the lens for 24hrs… and then if you love it as much as we do you can simply rescan it to keep Cuphead and Mugman rocking your snaps for another day.
Want to see what it's like? Our very own Maja let them loose on her phone. See how she got on!

Northampton Plantation Slave Quarters
For almost 300 years, African Americans lived and worked at the Northampton Plantation. From the late 1600s to the mid-1800s, large tobacco plantations dominated the economic and social life of Prince George's County, Maryland. In 1673, Charles Calvert, Esq., the third Lord Baltimore, granted a 1,000-acre tract of land to Thomas Sprigg. Named Northampton, the plantation was home to the Sprigg family and their slaves and servants for nearly 200 years. In 1865 John Contee Fairfax purchased Northampton, which served as a working farm until the 1950s.
Extensive archaeological excavations, artifact analysis, historic documents, and oral histories have allowed archaeologists to learn about the lives of slaves and tenant farmers at the plantation. Numerous descendants of the enslaved African Americans who lived at Northampton still reside in Prince George's County and have provided valuable information about life on the plantation and farm.
Archaeologists have unearthed thousands of artifacts from the slave quarters. Pieces of pottery, animal bones, buttons, glass bottles, tobacco pipes, religious medals, and toys have provided archaeologists valuable information about the social and religious life of African Americans who lived and worked at Northampton as slaves and tenant farmers.

Paying for School: Six Insights for Better Financial Services
This blog first appeared on CGAP's website and is reprinted here with permission. It's part of NextBillion's focus on education for the month of February.
The inability to pay fees and other education expenses keeps many children out of school. What is the extent of these challenges, who is affected and what kinds of financial services could help? These questions are further explored below, and in a new CGAP publication, "Digital Finance and Innovations in Financing for Education."
Recent data collected in eight countries as part of the nationally representative Financial Inclusion Insights (FII) surveys provide new insights. Equipped with a better understanding of the challenges, financial service providers, educators and governments will be better placed to develop innovative financial solutions that help families enroll and keep their children in school.
1. Paying for school presents a huge and widespread challenge to keeping children in school. In Uganda, a whopping 84 percent of households with school-age children have, at some point, lacked the funds to pay either part or all of schooling costs. In Kenya, 75 percent have. Even in Bangladesh and India, where the percentages are smaller, 20 percent of households with school-age children have struggled to pay for school.
2. A large portion of families send their children to schools that require tuition payments. More than half of households with enrolled children pay fees to send their children to school in six of the eight countries included in the survey (see table below). This category includes both private schools, an increasingly popular choice among low-income families, and public schools that charge fees – even many countries that have instituted free primary school still have fees for secondary school, and in some countries public primary schools still have fees, too.
3. Even at "free" schools, however, families face many other costs to keep their children in school. In Kenya, for example, students in "free" public schools may be required to buy uniforms, pay examination fees and in some cases even provide their own desk and chair. In Uganda, government capitation grants (the funding given to public schools to cover each enrolled student) are insufficient to cover all students and are dispersed inconsistently, leading schools to charge parents extra fees (sometimes unpredictably) to bridge the gap. The FII data show the burden these kinds of expenses put on families: Among Kenyan families who have children only in "free" schools, fully 69 percent report difficulties paying for school. In Uganda, 75 percent of families using only free schools have had difficulties.
4. The problems are common across demographic groups, as well. In Uganda, for example, where difficulties are most common, 84 percent of those below the poverty line and 80 percent of those above the poverty line have struggled to pay for school. Among urban and rural residents, the same 84 percent have had difficulties. In Kenya, the poor and rural residents are slightly more likely to struggle with paying for school, at about 77 percent of each group, but still nearly 70 percent of urban residents and those not categorized as poor, also have had difficulties.
5. For the minority of children not enrolled in school, an inability to pay school fees is a common reason, though answers vary. In Uganda nearly 40 percent of families say school fees prevent them from enrolling their children. In Kenya and Nigeria, a fifth say this. There are many other reasons why the remaining children are not enrolled, most of which do not relate to finances. In Asia, for example, one of the top reasons a child is not enrolled is that the child lost interest or does not want to attend, which can be an indication of poor quality education or teacher absenteeism resulting in limited learning taking place. Financial services will of course not solve all these problems, but for the portion of households struggling with fees, they could provide some solutions.
6. Paying for school also weighs heavily on many families' aspirations. When respondents were asked to name their single "most important financial goal," 24 percent of those in Kenya, and about 20 percent of those in Uganda and Nigeria said "paying school fees." In India, Indonesia, Tanzania and Pakistan, it was near or above 10 percent. For these respondents, paying school fees is a higher priority than saving, investing in a business, buying goods or property or any number of other financial goals a person might have.
With such widespread challenges paying for school, the potential market for solutions is large. For many low-income families with irregular patterns of income, using digital financial services to smooth payments into smaller amounts over a longer period of time might help families who are not able to come up with the full term fee at one time. In Bangladesh, for example, 90 percent of the struggles were to pay a portion of schooling costs, indicating families had some of the money they needed, but not all. A digital platform also lowers the transaction and accounting costs for the schools, so receiving and tracking many small payments is more feasible (see Bridge International Academies as an example). (Read more about Bridge here and here as part of NextBillion's February focus on education.)
Digital savings accounts, which allow families to put away small amounts of money at a time, could also help families manage lumpy expenses, as could responsibly delivered digital credit, such as top-up loans for tuition. Some current models link financial services directly to schools, but other models will need to be developed for education expenses, such as uniforms or notebooks purchased outside the school. As discussed in CGAP's new publication, digital financial services have the potential to act as a catalyst for keeping more children in school through these types of models.

Today I visited this blog and gave it a new name and a new look that is easier on the mind and eyes. I do not post much in this blog nowadays but it has valuable material that was gathered through strenuous work at one time, therefore it has been preserved. The new title ' Darwinism Revisited' attempts to explain what that blog contains. It attempts to explain how life was created on our wonderful planet based om modern scientific thinking. It does not necessarily negate what is contained in the scriptures but views these merely recorded in metaphors as suitable for the times in which they were composed.


With a name like Apostasy (which means defection or renunciation of faith) one should expect something along the lines of black metal, but also something that does not conform to the boundaries, something seeking to get outside the lines. The expectations fall short as Apostasy delivers very safe, tried and true brand of blackened thrash which would have raised eyebrows (and horned fists) about 7 – 10 years ago.
Being a total unknown metal entity to me Apostasy's Cell 666 is a full-length release on Black Mark records, the label which brought us such revolutionary acts as Bathory and Edge of Sanity.
There is one thing I absolutely have to warn you about. If you can't stand keyboards on a black metal record, stay the Hell away from Cell 666. This album is awash in synthesized keyboard sounds. The feeling ranges from psychedelic (the intro to Icon) to astral (7th Throne) to haunting "Moonlight Sonata" (the intro to Infernal Majesty), and, I swear, the middle break on Beauty of Death is reminiscent of The Promised Future Aeons from Dimmu Borgir's Spiritual Black Dimensions. Had the keyboards play a supporting background role to the expansive melodies, like they do in the leads of Infernal Majesty and Icon, they would have greatly added to the atmosphere. The spots like this sound powerful and panoramic, but they are few and far between on Cell 666. Instead, synthesizers usurp the role of the guitar, trying to play thrashy riffs on Crowned in Thorns or outro licks in the title track. To my ears, what is supposed to sound creepy simply sounds amusing.
Where keyboards tone it down guitars don't necessarily pick up the slack. You would not hear many furious speedy chops or out-of-this-world leads by Apostasy. What you will get is a steady dose of blackened thrash riffs supported by fast click-click-click (triggered?) drums. For the most part these riffs are generic and had been heard before. Combining parts and arranging in-song transitions also does not appear to be a strong suit (7th Throne).
The vocals are of extreme variety, but fairly non-offensive. I have to give the singer credit for coolly combining black and death metal voices in the single phrase (Cell 666, 7th Throne). For the large portion he stays away from processing his voice and using effects, which would have added the theatrical atmosphere.
If it seems to you that I sound too critical, let me recant and provide this bottom line. There is nothing wrong with Apostasy, if you like blackened thrash served with a generous helping of synth. If this album came out, let's say, before Dimmu's Enthrone Darkenss Triumphant, we all would have hailed it. There is just not much special about it either, and as soon as the album was over I did not have a feeling: "I need to hear and enjoy this again!" Warm quality production and provocative cover art do not make Cell 666 a landmark not-to-miss album. The music is certainly listenable, but it is just as well passable.


Sheena discovers a certain Mr Armstrong who has abducted friends of her 10 years ago. She dresses in a civilized manner again to join him on a voyage into the jungle and use the time they spend on a boat together to find out more about him. This leads her to the house of Dr. Miller (Leland Crooke, scary eyes, good choice of casting) who runs secret experiments on human beings. The mad scientist of course is excited to find out about Sheena's ability to transform into animals. But would you believe he could keep her in a cage for his experiments? No way! Obviously inspired by the H G Wells classic 'Island of Dr Moreau', this is a dark and rather violent story compared to other episodes. Instead of 'Children of the LaMistas', the episode was retitled 'The Experiments of Dr Miller' for German TV, a better choice in my view.

How to Build a Responsible Political Message During a Time of Social Unrest
How a local startup marketing agency handles social media during times of social upheaval.
In the past few years, nothing has changed faster than technology and our relationship to it. Social media is the way most of us experience the world so it makes sense that global social movements cross over onto our social networks. But managing your business's social media during such a time can be tricky — do you keep promoting your products and services or do you step back? If you aren't sure how to manage social media during a time of political unrest, check out some solutions from one of Pittsburgh's startup marketing agencies.
If you aren't sure whether or not to engage in social media during social unrest, think about this: your customers are definitely engaging on social media. Through apps that enable real—time updates or live streaming, they are thinking, talking, and organizing around social issues. Platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and even Facebook are the most affected by social unrest.
Eight in ten Americans say that social media is effective for creating a social message and a similar percentage — nearly 77% — agree that social media is a powerful tool for building sustained social change.
All of this means that your audience is almost certainly encountering these topics on their feeds. And if they don't see you reacting, they might make some incorrect assumptions about your brand and what you stand for.
The choice then becomes, how do you engage with that topic in a responsible, transparent way?
A Startup Marketing Agency Tells You Why Should You Engage
Hint: It's about more than just managing your image — it's about sharing your values!
Now more than ever, customers are concerned with where their money goes. Any marketing agency — startup or otherwise will tell you that buying something is no longer just a transaction, it's an expression of ethics and values. People show their values by choosing where to spend their hard-earned dollars. They consider purchasing or more explicitly, not purchasing from somebody to be a political act. You only need to look at some of the most recent headlines to see how customers vote with their dollars.
How one Nike ad led to political backlash and record breaking sales.
Take for instance the 2018 Nike ad with former San Francisco 49'ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick at the center of their "Just Do It" campaign. The ad came out in September of 2018 and quickly received simultaneous praise and criticism. In protest of the campaign, and fueled by the subsequent response by former President Trump, some consumers who disagreed with Kaepernick's activism sought to boycott Nike, even going so far as to burn their old Nike products.
Meanwhile, on the other end of the political spectrum, consumers flocked to Nike. Only three months later, they reported a record number of sales off of Kaepernick merchandise with a profit growth of 10% bringing income to nearly $847 million.
Nike's move to clearly state their values gave way to record breaking sales and a more engaged consumer base but it came at the cost of some political backlash. In the end Nike stood by their ad but your own calculus for how much backlash you are comfortable with may vary.
Not all advertisements have to be political to be meaningful!
In a less politically-fraught example, during its 2018 campaign "Mom On" Yoplait looked to address a problem most moms have experienced — mom shaming. It's "Mom On" campaign included women talking about the pressures of going back to work, staying home, breastfeeding, and even drinking while parenting. It sought to reinforce the idea that judging someone for the way they choose to parent their children can be patronizing and condescending.
In response to their campaign, not only did Yoplait successfully connect with mothers of all types but, they saw a boost in their Google search of almost 1200%. By putting their money behind a campaign that spoke to their beliefs, Yoplait was able to draw in customers who may have otherwise passed them by in favor of another, trendier brand.
Consumers Expect You To Engage Authentically
There is nothing worse than an inauthentic response to an authentic social ill.
As the social and political world becomes more and more connected to our daily life, the reality that any marketing agency, startup or otherwise, will tell you, is that customers expect you to engage with the public discourse. In a recent study published by Kantar Monitor, researchers found that over ⅔ of respondents — just shy of 68% — said they expect brands to be transparent about their values. In a similar study taken in July of 2020, over a month after the start of nationwide protests in response to the death of George Floyd, 55% of employees expected their businesses to take a public stance.
Not All Engagement is Made Equal
Consumers expect follow through and this Pittsburgh Marketing Agency can show you how.
While it is important and now expected for businesses to engage with the political discussion, not all engagements are made the same. The only thing worse than being silent on an issue is being inauthentic and tone deaf.
Consider the example of Pepsi's widely criticized ad featuring Kendall Jenner as a woman who defuses a tense interaction between protesters and police by handing the officer in question a Pepsi. The campaign struggled to find a receptive audience because it trivialized a very serious issue and simplified a complex problem that does not have simple solutions. Not only was the ad widely criticized and even mocked, it sparked a wide—ranging backlash that forced Pepsi to pull the advertisement after only one day on the air.
The bottom line is that if you're going to engage, you have to do it in a way that doesn't diminish any of the complexity of the situation because some people will find that offensive.
Audiences Expect Follow Through
Make sure that your words of support are followed with actions of support.
Another change that all brands are grappling with around using social media is the demand from their consumers to follow through on their promises. In addition to words of support and solidarity, customers want actions through which brands can prove their dedication to their ethics.
In summer of 2020, following the killing of George Floyd, Nike quickly stepped into the fray with their "For Once, Don't Do It Campaign" which sought to highlight everyone's responsibility in helping to end police brutality. The campaign was simple, reserved, and clear. On a black background with simple, unadorned piano music playing under it, the screen reads "For Once, Don't Do It. Don't pretend there's not a problem in America".
In a stark contrast to the normally highly produced, edited, and dynamic ads they typically run, Nike chose simplicity so as not to dance around the subject matter. They chose to tackle the message head on and perhaps most importantly, they did not advertise a product at the end of the campaign. The campaign was entirely about the message and was not clouded by a desire to sell a good or service.
When asked, consumers liked this Nike ad much more than similar ads that attempted to say the same thing. In a study done by Ace Metrix, participants found the Nike ad more empowering than 98% of other media shown. While there was some minor backlash from the political right who opposed the message of the spot, the majority of the criticism came from those who agreed with the message, but wanted to see the business open their wallets and put their money behind causes that supported their ethics.
We've all heard the phrase that actions speak louder than words and social upheaval is an excellent time to put your money where your mouth is. After the killing of George Floyd and the protests that followed, these are just some of the ways that large companies committed themselves to the cause of racial justice.
PayPal committed $530 million dollars to support black and minority owned businesses as well as substantially increasing its internal diversity and hiring practices
Bank of America announced a $1 billion commitment over the next four years to support economic initiatives to support communities affected by racial and economic inequality.
Adidas committed to filling 30% of new job openings with Black and Latinx individuals as well as sponsoring university scholarships for Black students
Alternatives to Highly Produced Campaigns
There are other ways to be transparent about your ethics beyond donating large sums of money.
If wading into the waters of social unrest by creating a public response gives you pause there are solutions! While an organic campaign that clearly explains your business's ethics can be incredibly successful, it requires tact, resources and authority. If you do not have the resources to create a scholarship program or donate millions of dollars to charities, there are other ways to help.
Sometimes, the best way to engage is by elevating the voices and stories of those with more knowledge and experience. Perhaps you can post about clients you work with who are trying to do good in their communities. Or you can commit to increased diversity in your own workplace and follow up as you make progress.
Another reason to look beyond the standard approach of making a fancy advertisement is that your business may not be the most experienced or authoritative source on the issue. Even if you have the desire to engage, consider your own position in the world — are you just learning about this problem when other people have been talking about it for years? If so then consider that you may not be the best messenger. If you wish to show support, try consulting experts who will definitely know more than you about the issue in question. Most importantly, remember that there are many ways to engage in the social and political discourse without making your own, highly produced advertisement. Approach it with authenticity and look at it as an opportunity to show your consumers what you care about.
There's a lot to consider when deciding how to engage in a moment of social and political unrest — use the list below to help you.
Do engage in topics that move you — people appreciate authenticity and honesty.
Consumers and employees expect you to engage on issues of social unrest — remember that staying silent is also a choice.
Do not try to engage in social discourse and try to sell something in the same breath. It will feel inauthentic and like a blind attempt to capitalize on the political environment.
Do not simplify or downplay the seriousness of a movement — if you choose to engage, do so with tact and responsibility.
When in doubt, ask! Ask your peers, your employees, or experts if you are not sure a response hits the right tone.
The social and political unrest that marks our new normal can seem overwhelming but with a few simple steps from your favorite startup marketing agency, you can be on the path to communicating your values to your consumers. If you still aren't sure how to best manage your social media during fraught times, consider reaching out and letting one of our team members assist you.

Twenty years since Netanyahu served as prime minister for the first time, Moshe Gafni spoke to the Israeli Yated Neeman about his relationship with the chareidim during a premiership that extended over fifteen percent of Israel's existence.
Can you point to the lowest point of the relationship with the prime minister?
Did you speak to Netanyahu during the previous government? How did he explain the damage done to his chareidi supporters?
Gafni added in the interview that he considers Netanyahu a good economist even though his capitalist views dictate a view that the more wealthy people there are, the more work there'll be for everyone else.
"I think we should help everyone and give less preference to the wealthy," Gafni said.
Gafni considers Netanyahu as middle of the road in political views and reluctant to get drawn into belligerent or unnecessary actions, and Gafni hopes he'll stay that way. His governance is generally good except for his attacks against Obama, which Gafni feels should have been avoided where possible in order to avoid conflict with the United States.
What attacks? Did Netanyahu openly attack Obama?
This proves what I've said all along. Obama loves Israel and the strained relationship is all Netanyahu's fault.
With respect to R' Gafni, to truly understand Netanyahu's relationship with religious Jews, one must truly understand Likud and it's roots as well as Netanyahu's personal roots.
Likud was, of course, founded by Menachem Begin who had previously formed the Herut party. As we all know, Begin had been a leader of Irgun which was founded by Vladimir (Ze'ev) Jabotinsky. Not coincidently, Netanyahu's parents were Jabotinsky-ites, both devout acolytes, his father serving as Jabotinsky's personal secretary. So to understand the core worldview of Likud and the heart of Netanyahu one must therefore know who Jabotinsky was and what he believed.
So we see that not only Jabotinsky was a fascist who advocated ethnic cleansing, he was also an atheist who FIERCELY opposed and DESPISED Judaism and religious Jews. " Judaism," he wrote, "is a nation and not a religious community." He opined that religion was a substitute for a homeland and that once that homeland was established, the religion would disappear. Religious Jews, in his view, suffered from "cultural retardation" and were "mere (biological) offspring of Adam and Eve, rather than civilized human beings." He also said, referring to the religious "The Jewish people are a very nasty people. Its neighbors hate it and they're right." Lastly he famously advocated the denial of full and equal rights to "ultra-orthodox" Jews.
So Jabotinsky was a racist and fascist who dreamed of the day that Judaism as a religion, along with it's repugnant adherents, would disappear. Likud is his spawn and Netanyahu is his heir. He is our enemy, not our friend or ally, and must be dealt with accordingly.
Torah will permeate more culture if all minds can be ready for the feelings of Israel. That means anti-zionist hate must cease.
Jabotinsky began to change and evolve his opinions, especially from the beginning of the '30s till his death in 1940.
Go back to hungary. It seems you are still stuck in the magyar shtetl mindset!
It sounds more like you decided to separate yourself from the jewish people. You might want to reevaluate your positions. You don't have many Rabbonim backing your ideology. Maybe you should join a neturah karta shul?? they share your misguided opinions!
He is a popularist online and uses a propietary network called paltalk to profess deep antizionist sentiment week in and week out at night to a small group of cultists online against jewish values. This man is a very agitated soul. Sad.


The OnePlus 5 is set to be a pretty exciting smartphone this year what with a Snapdragon 835 processor, smaller form factor than its OnePlus 3 predecessor, and dual rear cameras. It'll also likely cost a lot less than today's main flagship smartphones like the Galaxy S8 and LG G6. Now, for those of you itching to get the OnePlus 5 look on your own smartphone can download the official wallpapers that will come pre-loaded on the device.
The wallpapers follow OnePlus' abstract design charismatic as they each feature swirls and curves of three-dimensional colors. They're all pretty clean as well and should complement nearly anyone's device.
The OnePlus 5 should arrive something this summer.


J Autoimmun. 2012 May;38(2-3):J187-92. doi: 10.1016/j.jaut.2011.11.012. Epub 2011 Dec 16.
The X chromosome and immune associated genes.

Center for Autoimmune Liver Diseases, Department of Medicine, IRCCS Istituto Clinico Humanitas, Rozzano, Italy.
The X chromosome is known to contain the largest number of immune-related genes of the whole human genome. For this reason, X chromosome has recently become subject of great interest and attention and numerous studies have been aimed at understanding the role of genes on the X chromosome in triggering and maintaining the autoimmune aggression. Autoimmune diseases are indeed a growing heath burden affecting cumulatively up to 10% of the general population. It is intriguing that most X-linked primary immune deficiencies carry significant autoimmune manifestations, thus illustrating the critical role played by products of single gene located on the X chromosome in the onset, function and homeostasis of the immune system. Again, the plethora of autoimmune stigmata observed in patients with Turner syndrome, a disease due to the lack of one X chromosome or the presence of major X chromosome deletions, indicate that X-linked genes play a unique and major role in autoimmunity. There have been several reports on a role of X chromosome gene dosage through inactivation or duplication in women with autoimmune diseases, for example through a higher rate of circulating cells with a single X chromosome (i.e. with X monosomy). Finally, a challenge for researchers in the coming years will be to dissect the role for the large number of X-linked microRNAs from the perspective of autoimmune disease development. Taken together, X chromosome might well constitute the common trait of the susceptibility to autoimmune diseases, other than to explain the female preponderance of these conditions. This review will focus on the available evidence on X chromosome changes and discuss their potential implications and limitations.

10 in 20 on PledgeMusic
10 in 20: A Lexington Recording Project has launched a crowdfunding campaign to create our compilation album! Please visit our page on PledgeMusic to help raise funds to press a vinyl album, and receive rare perks from your favorite KY musicians!
10 in 20 has brought you digital delights, sounds and sights, spotlighting some of Kentucky's most talented musicians. We have now re-mastered each track to press a vinyl album—and you can get unique items while helping us accomplish the next step.
To date, the 10 in 20 music videos have been enjoyed more than 20,000 times. The songs have streamed on BandCamp thousands more times and aired on WRFL and WUKY.
Indie taste-maker Paste Magazine's article "10 Kentucky Bands You Should Listen to Now" included three bands from 10 in 20: Matt Duncan, The Fanged Robot, and Oh My Me. Paste gave us a nod, too, referring to "the excellently produced Lexington-based recording series '10 in 20.'"
Creating a vinyl album adds a new way to appreciate these artists, but unfortunately adds another set of major expenses. By offering pre-sales and unique perks, we hope to raise these funds on the front end, then be able to share profits with our ten bands as soon as the albums arrive in November. And when you make a pledge for an artist-specific exclusive, that person or group will earn money even sooner!
Also, PledgeMusic will direct 10% of funds past our target to Central Music Academy, which provides no-cost lessons to children in downtown Lexington.

Visitor guide to Jedburgh in Scottish Borders includes info on what to to see and do and even great nuggets on sports and festivals celebrated here. Also include hotels and Accommodation in Jedburgh.
Telephone dialling code for Jedburgh: +44 (0)1835
Local Population: 4,000
Ten miles from the English border is the attractive little town of Jedburgh, straddling the Jed Water at the edge of the northern slopes of the wild, barren Cheviot Hills. Jeburgh was strategically the most important of the Border towns, due to its proximity to England, and as a result received the full brunt of invading English armies. These days the only invaders are tourists. Jedburgh is the most visited of the Border towns and there are a number of interesting sights.
Sport and festivals around Jedburgh
Jedburgh's Common Riding, the Callant's Festival, takes place in late Jun/early Jul. In early Feb is the Jedburgh Hand Ba' game, a bruising and exhausting contest between the 'uppies' (those born above the Market Place) and the 'downies' (those born below), who endeavour to get a leather ball from one end of the town to the other. Visitors from south of the border may wish to note that the game used to be played with the heads of vanquished Englishmen. Horse riding is available for experienced riders at Ferniehurst Mill Lodge, Tel 863279, 2 miles south of Jedburgh on the A68. They offer accommodation and tailor-made riding holidays. The Royal British Legion Pipe Band and Jedforest Instrumental Band concerts which take place at The Mercat Cross, next to the Jubilee Fountain are teh other popular events worth checking out.
There's not a great deal of choice for eating in Jedburgh. Best of all is Simply Scottish, Tel 864696, on the High St, which offers modern, bistro-style Scottish fare all day at cheap-mid-range prices. There's also the Castlegate Restaurant , Tel 862552, on the corner of the High St and Abbey Close, which serves traditional meals and snacks. On the High St is The Sunrise, Tel 863503, a popular Indian restaurant (open 1200-1430, 1800-2300). Eleven miles south of Jedburgh, is the Carter Bar, the first/last pub in Scotland, standing on the border with England in the Cheviot Hills.
Travel Directions to Jedburgh
The bus station is close to the abbey and there are good connections around the Borders. First Edinburgh, Tel 0131-6639233, runs frequent daily buses to Hawick, Kelso and Galashiels. There are also buses daily to and from Edinburgh.
The town's Tourist Information Centre is on Murray's Green. It's a large and well-stocked office with leaflets detailing local walks, Tel 863170.

Local Sights & Activities for Jedburgh
The town is dominated by Jedburgh Abbey, founded in 1138 by David I for Augustinian canons from northern France. The site had much older religious significance, however, and stonework in the abbey's museum dates from the first millennium AD. Malcolm IV was crowned here and Alexander III married his second wife in the abbey in 1285. Their wedding feast was held at nearby Jedburgh Castle and, like the castle, the abbey came under attack during the many English invasions, most devastatingly in 1523 when it was bombarded and burned. Despite this, the abbey church is remarkably complete, particularly the tower. Excavations have recently uncovered the remains of the cloister buildings, and among the finds is the priceless 12th-century 'Jedburgh comb', which is on display in the excellent visitor centre which brilliantly tells the abbey's long and fascinating history. Info: May-end Sep daily 0930-1830; Oct-Mar Mon-Sat 0930-1630, Sun 1400-1630. £3.30, £2.50 concession, £1.20 child. Tel 863925.
Nearby, at the top of the Castlegate, is Jedburgh Castle Jail and Museum, which was formerly the county jail. It was built in 1823 on the site of the 12th-century castle, which changed hands many times until it was destroyed by the Scots because of its value to the English. The displays in the cell blocks depict prison life in the 19th century, and there's an exhibition on the town's history. Info: Easter-end Oct Mon-Sat 1000-1630, Sun 1300-1600 £1.50, £1 concession. Tel 864750.
At the other end of the town centre is Mary, Queen of Scots House, a beautiful 16th-century building of rough-hewn stone which contains a small bedroom occupied by Mary during her stay at Jedburgh in 1566. She spent several weeks here recovering from illness after her famous 30-mile ride to Hermitage Castle to visit her injured lover, the Earl of Bothwell. The ensuing scandal was only exacerbated by the murder of her husband Darnley the following year at Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh. Many years later, during her long incarceration, Mary regretted the fact that she hadn't died while staying in Jedburgh. This episode in Scottish history is told through a series of displays, and there are various artefacts associated with Mary. Info: Mar-Nov Mon-Sat 1000-1630, Sun 1200- 1630. £2.60, £1.50 concession. Tel 863331.
