Why do we write the names of Vietnamese and Thai people the wrong way in English newspapers?
Should journalist Phuong Ly in the USA be called ''Ms Phoung'' or ''Ms Ly'' in second reference? Let's ask her!
For example, David Smith who family name is Smith is called David Smith in the first time his name is mentioned in a news story, but in the second and third references we call him Mr Smith or just Smith, as in Mr Smith said, or Smith said.
But for Yingluck Shinawatra, who family name like Smith is Shinawatra, and her brother is called Thaksin Shinawatra, we call them in English newspapers as Yingluck or Thaksin for second and third reference in a news story, and that is like called Mr Smith above as David in the second and third refs. That seems disrespectful to this Yankee editor living in Asia.
Yes in Thailand, they do it that way in Thai language newspaper yes, i know. But in Western newspapers I feel that we should refer to her as Ms. Shinawatra the second ref and her brother as... (more)
Yes in Thailand, they do it that way in Thai language newspaper yes, i know. But in Western newspapers I feel that we should refer to her as Ms. Shinawatra the second ref and her brother as Mr Shinawatra for second and third refs. Yes or no? Agree or disagree?
And the same applies to names of Vietnamese people living in Vietnam or in the USA. A man named Nguyen Thu Thuy is in reality Mr Nguyen, since family name comes first in Vietnam naming order.....and USA newspapers and UK papers do call him Nguyen Thu Thuy on first referemce. But on second and third refs they call him Thuy, and again that is like calling Mr SMith above as "David" the second and third refs. We know that is wrong. So why do we teat Thai and Vietnamse names in a disrepsectul way?
Go to Japan. There, everything is fine. While in Japanese cutlure names are WATANABE Hironobu, family name first like China and Taiwan and Vietnam, most English newpspaper will refer to him in English now as Hironobu Watanabe, and then most readers will know that his family name is Watanabe and Davide Smith's name is Mr Smith, not Mr David.
The previous PM in Japan was called Junichiro Koizumi in first reference and Koizumi in second ref....Why can't we bring Thai and Vietnamese names up to speed on this, for English newspapers and online sites?
Phuong Ly is founder of Gateway California, a nonprofit that helps journalists connect to immigrant sources. The project was developed during her recent year as a John S. Knight Fellow at Stanford University. Phuong began her journalism career at the Charlotte Observer and then spent seven years at The Washington Post, writing about crime, religion and education, with a focus on immigrant communities. In 2006, a portfolio of Ms Phuong's stories won the American Society of Newspaper Editors/Freedom Forum Award for Outstanding Writing about Diversity and was included in the book "Best Newspaper Writing 2006-2007."

Perhaps. But I suspect the merging of Spirits directly with my loved ones will be far more satisfactory than any physical hug.
†. 1Cor 15:44 . . It is sown a natural body, it is raised up a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body."
Whos saying they cross over? who knows where they go. Not to hell though.
God only needs to speak a few words and his message gets through, he doesn't need speeches.
no human is in hell right now and hell isn't a good or friendly place. be strong in God.
The merging of spirits? Do you mean that you will lose your own identity? Besides, the two are not mutually exclusive. You could have a physical (though immortal) body and have a complete unity in spirit with those you love.
Maybe it would be useful for us (not just Mystic and me, but anyone who wants to weigh in on the subject) to explain what we believe a "spiritual body" to be.
Fiction can be defined as stories about people and events that, though untrue; are plausible; viz: realistic.
Fantasy can be defined as stories about people and events that are not only untrue; but implausible; viz: unrealistic.
For example: a story about a boy like Pinocchio is unrealistic; while a story about a boy with autism is realistic. The difference between Pinocchio and a boy with autism is that the one is compatible with normal reality; while the other is far removed from normal reality.
I have yet to read even one of Jesus Christ's parables that could not possibly be a real-life story. They're all actually quite believable-- farmers sowing seed, women losing coins, sons leaving home, wineskins bursting, tares among the wheat, leavened bread, barren fig trees, the blind leading the blind, et al.
Now; if he had told one that alleged the moon was made of green cheese; we would have good reason to believe that at least that one was fantasy; but none of them are like that. At best; Christ's parables might qualify as fiction; but never fantasy because none of them are so far removed from normal reality that there is no possible chance of it ever being true.
Luke 16:19-31 is commonly alleged to be a parable; which of course implies that the story is fiction; and some would even say fantasy. But the parable theory has a fatal flaw.
Abraham is neither fiction nor fantasy: he's a real life man; held in very high esteem by at least three of the world's prominent religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
Abraham is also the friend of God (2Chrn 20:27, Isa 41:8). I simply cannot believe that Jesus Christ-- a man famous among normal Christians for his honesty and integrity --would say something untrue about a famous real-life man; especially one of his Father's buddies.
So, by implying that Luke 16:19-31 is false, the parable theory insinuates that God is a person of marginal integrity who can't be trusted to tell the truth about people, not even about His own friends, which is ridiculous seeing as how Titus 1:2 and Heb 6:18 testify that God cannot lie.
NOTE: Luke 16:27 reveals that people in the rich man's situation suffer anxiety worrying about their relatives.
Can you just imagine the shock, the horror, and the terror that kicks disbelievers in the guts when they find themselves in the same situation? Well; that's all they need to instantly realize that traditional Christianity has been right about hell all along and humanistic sophistry is a Judas goat.
But that's not the worst of it. Just think of all the disbelieving parents who have actually trained their own children to follow mom and dad down there. How do people bear the torment of something like that on their conscience?

Sorry, I evidently missed that. I would have to say that I essentially agree with your definition. I agree, in particular, that "a spirit body" does not mean that the body is without physical substance. Something can be both spiritual and corporeal. Jesus Christ himself is evidence of that.

La rue de la Réale est une ancienne voie de Paris qui était située dans l'ancien  et qui a disparu en 1974 lors du réaménagement des Halles et de la création du Forum.

Origine du nom
Les frères Lazare supposent qu'elle portait le nom d'un propriétaire qui l'avait habitée tandis que Jacques Hillairet indique que ce nom est dû à une enseigne représentant une galère-amirale : La Réale.

Situation
Située dans l'ancien , quartier Montorgueil, cette voie d'une longueur de , commençait aux 93-95, rue de la Tonnellerie et se terminait aux 49-51, rue de la Grande-Truanderie.

Les numéros de la rue étaient noirs. Le dernier numéro impair était le  et le dernier numéro pair était le .

Historique
En 1175, cette voie était située dans le fief de Thérouanne. Une partie de ce fief fut cédée en 1181 par Adam, archidiacre de Paris, puis évêque de Thérouanne, à Philippe Auguste pour faciliter la construction des Halles. Le terrain que s'était réservé l'évêque, et dont cette rue faisait partie, se couvrit promptement d'habitations. Ce n'est pourtant qu'à partir de l'année 1210, qu'on peut fixer l'entière construction de cette rue, qui prit plus tard le nom de « rue Jehan Bigue » ou « rue Jean Bigue », du nom d'un échevin de la ville de Paris en 1280-1281 ou à Jean dit Bigue, valet de chambre de Philippe le Hardi en 1284.

Elle est citée dans Le Dit des rues de Paris de Guillot de Paris sous le nom de « petite ruelete Jehan Bingue ».

La rue de la Réale formait l'une des limites du fief de Joigny.

Au , sans doute par altération, on écrivait « rue Jean-Vingne », « rue Vuigne », « rue Vigne », « rue des Vignes ». Vers 1620, elle est indiquée sous les noms de « rue la Réale » ou « rue Jean-Gilles », qu'elle tenait sans doute de deux propriétaires qui l'avaient successivement habitée.

Une décision ministérielle du  fixe la largeur de cette voie publique à . Cette largeur est portée à  en vertu d'une ordonnance royale du .

La rue disparait en 1974, lors du réaménagement des Halles et de la création du Forum.

RBI's Second Bi-Monthly Monetary Policy 2021, GDP Growth To Be 9.5 Percent
No Change In Repo Rate, An Upswing In Exports In March-May 2021
By Raju Vernekar

Are Political Rallies Necessary in the Time of COVID-19?
Insecurity: 220 Killed and 300 Abducted in 50 Attacks across Niger State in January 2022
Raju Vernekar
Raju Vermekar is a senior Mumbai-based journalist who have worked with many daily newspapers. Raju contributes on versatile topics.
INDIA. Mumbai: Reserve Bank of India (RBI) kept the repo rate unchanged at 4 percent while maintaining an 'accommodative stance' as long as necessary to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in its second bi-monthly Monetary Policy report on Friday.
All members of the RBI's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC)-Dr. Shashank Bhide, Dr. Ashima Goyal, Prof. Jayanth R. Varma, Dr. Mridul K. Saggar, Dr. Michael Debabrata Patra, and RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das- unanimously voted to keep the policy repo rate unchanged at 4.0 percent. Besides all the members unanimously voted to continue with the accommodative stance as long as necessary to revive and sustain growth on a durable basis and continue to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on the economy and keep inflation at the targeted level, the RBI statement said.
RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das who read out the second bi-monthly Monetary Policy statement for the current financial year, presented by the MPC, said that the reverse repo rate too was kept unchanged at 3.35 percent. The Marginal Standing Facility (MSF) rate and bank rate also remained unchanged at 4.25 percent. This is the sixth time in a row that the RBI has maintained a status quo on policy rate. The central bank had last revised its policy rate on May 22, 2020, in an off-policy cycle to perk up demand by cutting the interest rate to a historic low.
Repo rate refers to the rate at which commercial banks borrow money by selling their securities to the RBI to maintain liquidity, in case of shortage of funds or due to some statutory measures. It is one of the main tools of RBI to keep inflation under control. While the reverse Repo rate is when the RBI borrows money from banks when there is excess liquidity in the market. The banks benefit from it by receiving interest for their holdings with the RBI. During high levels of inflation in the economy, the RBI increases the reverse repo rate.
India's central bank's bi-monthly policy came even as the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic has started to slow down due to the fall in a daily number of cases. Friday's policy statement came after RBI's MPC started three-day deliberations on June 2.
In April, RBI had announced its first monetary policy of the ongoing financial year that commenced on April 1. Currently, the Repo Rate or the lending rate is at 4 percent, and the reverse repo rate or RBI's borrowing rate is at 3.35 percent. These rates were kept unchanged during April's monetary policy review statement.
The policy rate remained at 4%, which is the lowest level in over a decade. The forward guidance given by the RBI's MPC, which was changed to "state-based" in April 2021 as against the "time-based", has been retained at "state-based" guidance in the current policy amidst heightened uncertainty. RBI will ensure the availability of adequate funds to aid economic recovery.
Surplus liquidity conditions in the system to be maintained and sustained: Government Securities Acquisition Programme (GSAP) 2.0 of Rs 1.2 lakh crore has been announced for Q2-FY21. The last tranche of GSAP 1.0 will be worth Rs 40,000 crore of which Rs 10,000 crore would constitute the purchase of State Development Loans(SDLs). Special liquidity finance for Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) and on-tap Targeted Long Term Repo Operations (TLTRO) for the contact-intensive sectors has been announced for durable liquidity flow to these segments.
The inflation outlook in Q1-FY22 has been retained at the same level as the previous policy while there has been an upward revision since Q2-FY22. Upside risks to inflation include persistent supply-side disruptions of the second wave while downside risks include high base-effect and progress of the monsoon. The rising trajectory of the international crude prices and surge in international commodities and logistics prices could keep core inflation elevated.
RBI has projected India's GDP growth at 9.5 percent (slashed by 1%) for the ongoing Financial Year (FY) of 2021-2022. There has been a downward revision in the GDP growth for Q1 and Q2 of FY22 while there has been an upward revision in Q3 and Q4. Positives include an upswing in exports (Mar-May 2021), adoption of pandemic working conditions by individuals and businesses, vaccination drives, and forecast of normal monsoon. Downside risks include the increased spread of the virus in rural areas.
Addressing the media, Das said that the resilience of the agriculture sector, forecast of monsoon, and the gathering momentum of the global economy could act as tailwinds for the domestic economy as the second wave recedes. Besides the RBI's foreign exchange reserve is in touching distance of the $600 billion marks. This gives the RBI great confidence to deal with challenges arising out of global spillovers, he added.

New GM, head coach for Atlanta Falcons will face difficult decision about drafting successor to Ryan
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan passes against the Oakland Raiders during a game on Sept. 18 in Oakland, Calif. - photo by Marcio Jose Sanchez
The Falcons are in the process of hiring a new coach, unless they opt to re-up Raheem Morris, in which case they'd be re-hiring the same coach. They're also seeking a general manager, and they're not sure which will come first: GM or coach, chicken or egg? These are Issues 1 and 1A in Flowery Branch, and it seems a bit presumptuous to broach Issue 2, which won't come to a boil until April 29, in the chill of January. Then again, is it ever too soon to talk about drafting a quarterback?
That's the first question the new coach/GM will have to address.
The Falcons hold the No. 4 in the 2021 draft.
It's their highest pick since 2008, when they drafted Matt Ryan third overall.
Ryan has started every game save three over the intervening 13 seasons, making him the definition of a franchise quarterback.
He's also coming off one of his lesser seasons.
(Though not in volume: He led the NFL in pass attempts and completions.)
He'll turn 36 in May.
Given that the Falcons' backup quarterback just retired at age 39 — Matt Schaub has the distinction of being the understudy for Michael Vick and Ryan — a need exists, but nobody spends the No. 4 pick on someone ticketed as a career No. 2.
You can find those on the waiver wire.
The only way you'd take a quarterback in Round 1 is you believe he'll someday be your No. 1, and herein lies the rub.
The Falcons just went 4-12.
They haven't made the playoffs since 2017.
They have a franchise quarterback, but lately that hasn't availed them much.
He's under contract through 2023.
His cap number in 2021 is more than twice what it was this past season — from $18.9 million to $40.9 million.
If you listened to Arthur Blank and Rich McKay last week, you know that those two believe the Falcons aren't far from being a winning team.
A new coach/GM might see it differently, although that poses the cosmic question: Would McKay/Blank hire a coach/GM who doesn't share their happy-days-are-almost-here-again vision?
("Here's my master plan: We trade away everybody who's any good and go 3-13 the next four years. Where do I sign?")
When you've gone 7-9, 7-9 and 4-12, you cannot pretend yours is still an upper-crust roster.
You might grab an offensive tackle (Penei Sewell of Oregon) at No. 4. You might take another receiver (Ja'Marr Chase, formerly of LSU). You might take yet another Alabama receiver (Heisman holder DeVonta Smith). But your first decision must be: Quarterback or not?
Trevor Lawrence will go No. 1 to Jacksonville. There's growing belief he'll be playing for Urban Meyer, always a Georgia fan favorite.
It's possible Justin Fields of Harrison/Georgia/Ohio State will be available at No. 4.
If not, Zach Wilson of BYU should be.
Here, though, we get into numbers.
For the Falcons to draft a quarterback that high would mean devoting even more millions to a position into which you're on the hook for $40 million next season. (Owing to his cap hit, Ryan is all but un-tradeable.) Only one quarterback can play at a time, unless one of them is Taysom Hill.
The unyielding nature of the salary cap means every dollar spent somewhere is a dollar that can't be spent elsewhere.
There was no such issue when the Falcons took Ryan.
Their franchise quarterback was no longer on salary; he was in prison.
They hoped and prayed Ryan was their guy not just for 2008 but for the next decade.
Sure enough, he was.
It's hard, though, to believe that Ryan will ever be quite as good as he was at his lofty peak.
Someday soon, the Falcons will have to find a replacement.
They might never have a better chance than in this draft.
But Blank/McKay said they hoped to win next year and every year, and it's unlikely that any rookie quarterback in 2021 will be an immediate improvement over Ryan.
So now you're juggling timetables — short-term against the longer haul, aging bird in the hand against a youthful one flying free. Remember, even Vick — for whom Dan Reeves traded up to take No. 1 overall — served an apprenticeship behind Chris Chandler.
To get good and stay good, an NFL team must have a reliable quarterback.
Ryan has been — and could remain, at least for another year or two — reliable.
But here's how many winning seasons Ryan had in his first five pro years: five.
Here's how many he has had in the past eight: two.
We can argue as to whether the Falcons have done enough to support him; we cannot dispute that his career arc has, since the Super Bowl, tracked a downward path. In three of the past four seasons, his passing rating and yards-per-pass number have lagged his career averages.
The day is coming when the Falcons must plot a future without him.
It would be hard to pass on a Fields or a Wilson, especially when the folks doing the picking are apt to have no connection with Ryan. (Retaining Morris would be an exception.) There are many examples of great quarterbacks being found outside Round 1 — Kurt Warner was undrafted; Tom Brady was taken 199th in 2000 — but a check of Falcons history is instructive.
Their first franchise quarterback was Steve Bartkowski, the No. 1 overall pick in 1975. Their most recent two went No. 1 and No. 3, respectively. There's a reason the NFL swears by the draft. There's a reason the Falcons need to find their quarterback of the future before Matt Ryan becomes yesterday's man.

It has been really great to look back at old memories of Laindon.
did the double, early sixties.
I moved into London and then to the "frozen north" I still play tennis and squash.
It would be great to hear from any of that generation.
I believe I know you and remember your family.
We lived at Belgrave, High Road until 1962.
My brother Clive Clifford, mum, dad and me.
Hello Jeff. You might remember me as one of the guys always kicking a ball about with the late John Austin, Michael Venables and Robert Riggs to name a few. As I remember you were not too bad at football yourself. I still bump into a few of the old gang now and then like Derek Higgs, Big Joe Borwoski and had a good chat with a few guys at the last school reunion in 2016.


General Information: Russian Kale is yet another Brassica, but one whose leaves, rather than flower buds, are eaten. Russian Kale has a broad flat deckle-edged leaf which is softer, thinner and more tender than the leaf of Scots Kale. The flavor is a bit darker than that of Scots Kale, with stronger earth and hints of smoke. Russian Kale is generally available in two varieties, Red, as you'd expect, and Green. The green variety has some red (or purple) coloring.
Applications: Kale almost always must be cooked, and cooked rather a long time. The exception might be using a bit of very finely chiffonaded Russian Kale in a salad, with the proviso that some diners may end up uncomfortable. The other exception is in juicing, where Kale mixes well with, well, whatever you want to put into a juicer.
The basic rule for preparing Kale is 'discard the stems'. Here again, there are two exceptions, first, if the stems are on the tender side, they may be finely chiffonaded along with the leaf they run through, and, second, stems might be useful in making a vegetable broth. One of the nice things about Kale in general is that the leaves themselves will make a nice broth in the cooking liquid, so that if you're making a vegetable soup some Kale, helped by onion and garlic, will make the broth as you cook the soup. It's difficult to overcook Kale, so it remains recognizable even after prolonged soup making.
You needn't confine it to soups, it makes a nice vegetable side steamed, and mixes well with root vegetables and with other greens such as Dandelion. It's a nice accompaniement with tomato and onion to beans (pinto, cannelini). Dried Russian Kale does a very good invegification of certain dried edible seaweeds.


I think that this finally brings the 2009 New Year celebrations to an end.
Move business operations toward a paperless office environment.
Yes, these five goals are quite ambitious but also realistically attainable. One major release every two months (on average) will keep us very busy, but the roadmap for these is already established. Our development projects are all very different and should be enlightening. The Goodsol projects are building on the technological improvements of last year. Finally, the marketing and business plans have internal support and should, ultimately, improve operational efficiency.
By the way, we could still use a few more beta testers for the upcoming version of Pretty Good Solitaire Mac Edition. Anyone interested can email me directly at beta@sophsoft.com, and I will forward your information.
On the personal side, I will keep my exact goals to myself, but I have been playing competitive soccer and am pleased to be back ice racing again this year. I am currently second in points (in class A1) after having a disappointing day in which I suffered not one, but two DNFs (Did Not Finish) due to peeling tires off of the wheels. It has been a nearly perfect year for ice, so I will be repaired and back up in Chippewa Lake this coming weekend for eight more exciting races.
More ice racing pictures should be forthcoming.

Review Sony Vaio SA- and SB-Series - Docking Station & Battery Slice
Docked. Sony is equipping its new Vaio SA- and SB-series with docking stations and battery slices. The battery life is going to double, and the annoying plugging in of power cables will be a thing of the past.
Sebastian Jentsch (translated by Vinay Pradhan), Published 04/27/2011 🇩🇪
Sony Vaio VPC-SB1Z9EB with Battery Slice VGP-BPSC24 on the Docking Station VGP-PRS20
Who hasn't stared jealously at the extensive docking and battery options available for the business class models from HP, Lenovo or Dell? Now Vaio users can profit from these features too. The mainstream consumer series, Vaio SA and SB, come with docking stations and battery slices, granting the user the ultimate battery life experience.
Docking Station VGP-PRS20
The docking station, VGP-PRS20 (about 129 Euros), uses a power adapter cable which is similar to that of the notebook (mixing the two up won't cause any problems). As the user will have two power cables which serve the same purpose, he/she can leave the cable of the docking station plugged in during a trip for simplicity sake. The docking station can be used to recharge batteries (including the battery slice) and the slider on the right side allows the user to switch to "Extended Battery" mode.
The docking port offers HDMI, VGA, 4 USB ports (no USB 3.0; those are only available on the notebooks themselves) and 2 x RJ45 (LAN) ports. As soon as the Vaio is placed on the docking port, the HDMI, VGA and RJ45 ports of the laptop can no longer be used, and to prevent anyone from doing so, the docking station has two plastic flaps on the side which block these ports effectively.
The placement of the device does not involve the use of any latches or locks. This means: place the laptop on the two protruding bumps and you're done. The subnotebook will not slip due to two securing hooks (silver) which stick out of the base unit and secure the model so that it doesn't fall.

The VGP-BPSC24 battery slice is a flat battery (Li-Polymer, 6 cell), which fits under the base unit of the Vaio SA- and SB series models. It has a capacity of 4.400 mAh or 49 Wh (11.1V). The notebooks have have a connector on the bottom which allows them to attach themselves to the slice battery. However, this connector is not the same as the one found on the docking port. This additional battery slice VGP-BPSC24 costs around 130 Euros and weighs 520 grams.
During notebook use, the batteries are designed in such a way that the slice battery will be used first. The slice battery can be charged via the notebook or through a small charging dongle (while the battery is not connected), so theoretically, the 13.3 inch device can run the entire day without internet.
The black battery slice looks good when attached to the notebook, even though its colour only fits to that of the black Vaio SB. The latch has two metal hooks on the locking side. The holes for these hooks, on the other side, are made of synthetic material. To prevent an accidental unlocking, the security mechanism is two-fold (lock and release). The perpendicular hole in the middle of the slice battery is for the docking station (without this hole, the slice battery would raise the laptop enough to free the non-functioning ports).
For our test we used the series model VPC-SB1S1E/W with an i5-2410M processor. This model comes with a 50 Wh battery (4.540 mAh). We dimmed the brightness to roughly 100 cd/m² during our test. The CPU load was low while surfing on the web (no videos, only websites). One downside is that the charging of the duo packet (notebook battery + battery slice) takes a while: 5:46 hours.
WLAN-Test @50 Wh Standard: 314 minutes (5:14h)
WLAN-Test @50 Wh + 49 Wh: 648 minutes (10:48h)

Thanks to the docking station and battery slice, the user is spared the chaos of cables all over the place, and the mobility is doubled. These two additional features are fully compatible with each other, which means that the Vaio notebook can still sit on the docking station, even if the slice battery is attached. These features are sure to immensely increase the comfort of the user, as both the Vaio SA (not available yet) and the Vaio SB (see our test) can connect within one second to these peripheral devices.
Docking Station VGP-PRS20: USB 3.0 is only available on the device

Bigfoot Sightings In New Brunswick
According to data gathered by the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO), 'Bigfoot' has been spotted in almost single province in the country! The only places that haven't seen any were Newfoundland & Labrador (probably because too much snow), none were ever spotted on PEI (good luck being sneaky getting across the Confederation Bridge) .. And there were no sightings way up north in the Northwest Territories or Nunavut (probably too cold, although you'd thnk all that hair was good for insulation). The most sightings were reported in BC with 130.. I think its that BC weed… but whatever….
New Brunswick has had 7 sightings, but there hasn't been a reported sighting since 2006, which was near Sackville. The person that reported seeing Bigfoot was with his wife and apparently they seldom agree on anything, but they do agree on this, saying it had to be Bigfoot.
The other sightings around here: near Gagetown, a couple of them near the Maine/NB border and 3 just outside Moncton.. By the looks of it, it seems Bigfoot walked over from maine, thru Gagetown to get to Moncton where he was just trying to get to the big Costco to buy the huge pack of razors…

Despite the fact that Unreqvited just released a successful sophomore album in Stars Wept To The Sea link)a mere 5 months ago, the project's third full-length album is already completed and released. The official release date is still November 23rd, for physical copies, but, due to a mistake by the record label, anyone who pre-ordered the album got full album in digital format immediately. I'm a greedy fan, and I also contribute to the project's Patreon, so I pounced on the chance to hear the whole album as soon as I was aware of the option.
I'd already heard 2 of the album's tracks before the whole record leaked, so I had already prepared for the slight changes compared to the previous Unreqvited albums. Dropping most of the DSBM elements, Mosaic I: L'Amour Et L'Ardeur indulges the project's shoegaze influences across 5 long, sprawling tracks. The material is still very light on vocals, making sparing use of the same pained, shrieking howls as heard on Disquiet and Stars Wept To The Sea. The material on this record is also a lot faster, more uptempo, and a lot more guitar-oriented than ever before, while still retaining a lot of the tonal and song-writing qualities that make up the unique Unreqvited sound.
L'Amour Et L'Ardeur may have been put together relatively quickly, but nothing about the album feels rushed or hastily thrown together. The production is clean and crisp, and the songs, in spite of their long running time, all flow together and keep a brisk pace. The album clocks in at 40 minutes in length, but manages to feel exceedingly short. Each track features dynamic shifts between airy, midtempo riffing, atmospheric respites and even some fast blast beat sections such as the 2:50 mark of "Balance." I've been a fan of Unreqvited since Ghost Bath gave the project a mention on their Facebook page. Three albums into its existence and this project continues to evolve and progress, putting out some exceptionally good material along the way.
I appreciate the slight stylistic changes on L'Amour Et L'Ardeur, as they extend the project's sound without marking a drastic shift in directions, and avoids falling into a narrow niche — churning out the same songs over and over. Disquiet is a masterpiece of deeply atmospheric, depressive black metal, Stars Wept To The Sea is like a middle-ground between the first album and this one. L'Amour Et L'Ardeur takes the penchant for strong melodies, doses the material with more prominent guitar work in lieu of the heavier reliance on atmospheric synths on prior works. This is a refreshing level of progression in a very short amount of time, delivering both another quality album in a single calendar year, but things bode well for future releases if the project continues to evolve.
I can't tell you which of this year's albums are my favourite, as both are excellent in their own rights. I can say that I recommend giving both of them a look, however. Unreqvited remains one of the standout projects in the atmospheric metal world.
Content to drop not 1 but 2 full-length albums in 2018, Unreqvited are back after a mere 5 months with Mosaic I: L'Amour Et L'Ardeur. Turning down the DSBM and turning up the shoegaze elements, Unrevqited offers a strong set of variations on the project's typical fare of brooding, mid-to-low tempo music drenched in atmosphere on this new album. More riff-oriented material and a faster overall tempo distinguishes this album from its predecessors while still retaining enough other sonic elements to still sound like an Unreqvited record. Fans of the project's past albums should still be able to enjoy L'Amour Et L'Ardeur without difficulty, and I think this album could appeal to a broader audience. Another quality entry in the Unreqvited discography.

The 'systemic racism' refrain is systemic rubbish.
Are you going to do anything about the Covid lies?
Their expressions of condolences to the victims' families leave a bitter aftertaste
The Covid 'vaccine' has caused a pandemic
The corrupt American Medical Establishment led by the mass murderer Tony Fauci was forced some time ago to admit that the Covid "vaccine" quickly loses effectiveness against the virus.
German clinics get up to €9500 per Covid case
Bavarian president caught lying about unvaccinated hospitalizations
Brazil's vaccine passport data wiped in cyber attack
Covid jabs are an example of 'cell and gene therapy'
Indiana: Life insurance CEO sees 40 percent rise in deaths in ages 18-64
UN declares war on "dangerous" conspiracy theories
But they claimed the "vaccine" did protect against cases bad enough to send you to the hospital or to your death.
Now Fauci has been forced to back off this false claim. Vasko Kohlmayer reports:
Last week Dr. Anthony Fauci made perhaps the most damning confession in the Covid vaccine saga. So far-reaching are the implications of his statement that the interview in which he made it may well prove a turning point in the fight against the great vaccine fraud that is being perpetrated on the peoples of the world.
In a November 12 podcast session with the New York Times, Fauci was forced to admit the fact that the vaccines do not reliably protect their recipients from serious Covid or death.
Called upon to explain the data coming from Israel – a country with one of the highest vaccination rates in the world – Fauci said the following:
"They are seeing a waning of immunity not only against infection but against hospitalization and to some extent death, which is starting to now involve all age groups. It isn't just the elderly."
In other words, the vaccines' protective efficacy wanes not only in regard to the threat of infection, but also in regard to severe Covid and death. Speaking about the effectiveness of the vaccines in countries with high vaccination rates, Fauci admitted:
"It's waning to the point that you're seeing more and more people getting breakthrough infections, and more and more of those people who are getting breakthrough infections are winding up in the hospital."
In other words, all of the claims made for the Covid "vaccine" are false. Vast numbers of people have been deceived by a corrupt medical establishment and a corrupt media into acts of suicide and serious health injury. Yet, the coercive campaign to vaccinate continues. The people responsible for this campaign are murderers. These murderers include all the political leaders of the Western world.
Why do all of them and the media scum continue to lie blatantly? These totally corrupt people keep hyping "the pandemic of the unvaccinated." There is no such pandemic. Information from every country shows that infection and death rises with vaccination.
In the UK 74 percent of alleged Covid deaths between August and September were vaccinated people.
The data collected by Public Health Scotland show that the vaccination campaign achieved a 3,071 percent increase in Scottish deaths from a year ago and more Covid cases among the vaccinated than among the unvaccinated.
"The unvaccinated account for just 19.7 percent of all Covid-19 deaths since August 14th 2021, whilst the vaccinated population account for 80.3 percent of all deaths since the same date, with the fully vaccinated accounting for 76 percent of the deaths."
The data from Israel bears out that the pandemic is among the vaccinated.
The reason the vaccinated are at risk is two-fold. The "vaccine" has serious side-effects that are confused with Covid, and the "vaccine" damages and ultimately destroys the innate human immune system, making the vaccinated more susceptible to every virus and illness.
Distinguished scientists and medical researchers who are independent of Big Pharma grants have established these facts, but the whore media refuses to report them. All people get from CNN, MSNBC, NPR, BBC, New York Times, CDC, NIH, AMA, politicians, and social media is indoctrination that causes people to damage and kill themselves by accepting the "vaccine."
The facts are clear. The Covid vaccination campaign is the largest mass murder movement in history.
The public response to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s just published book, The Real Anthony Fauci, shows that people are seeing through the orchestrated narrative cultivated by the whore media. The book has had a media blackout as if it doesn't exist, but is nevertheless Number One on Amazon's best seller list and Number One on Kindle's best seller list.
In addition to Amazon and Kindle, the book is available at local bookstores and at Barnes & Noble, IndieBound, Bookshop.org, Target, Walmart, Books-A-Million. Buy and read the book. You will see that public health is in the hands of gangsters.
What the "Covid Pandemic" has taught us is that we can only have zero trust in the medical establishment, politicians, and media. These corrupt people have agendas totally different from public health.

The inflation hoax
Yes, prices are rising, but not for the reasons the Federal Reserve says. When I say inflation is a hoax, I mean the purported cause is a hoax. The Fed is fighting a consumer inflation, a "demand-pull" inflation. But what we are experiencing is a supply-side inflation caused by the Covid lockdowns and economic sanctions that closed businesses, disrupted supply chains, and broke business relationships while reducing energy supplies to the UK and European countries, thus forcing up costs in a globalized economy.

Structor shines as draw proves too much for Arizona in Juvenile Turf
O'Brien runner makes late ground.
Structor produced a power-packed finish to land the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Santa Anita, as a wide draw ultimately proved too much for Aidan O'Brien's Arizona.
Bringing strong European form to the one-mile contest, having last been seen finishing two lengths behind Pinatubo in the Dewhurst, Arizona missed the break and was soon at the back of the field under Ryan Moore.
Although he finished to real effect, his chance had gone.
O'Brien said: "He was a little bit slow (from the stalls) and Ryan had to accept it, but he came home very well in the straight.
"A (good) draw is a big help here, none of mine today got lucky with that, although Fleeting and Anthony Van Dyck are drawn well (on Saturday).
"Arizona is definitely a Guineas horse for next year and he finished his race well. Half the trouble is that we teach our horses to settle and relax, but we are playing away here and they do just the opposite.
"But we'll take it as it comes."
The Chad Brown-trained winner remains unbeaten – and did very well to pick up and win from a worse than mid-pack position on the rail rounding the final bend.
His trainer said: "I could see he (Jose Ortiz) had so much horse turning for home, I was just hoping he would get through and he did."

Stroman struggles again as Twins crush Blue Jays in series opener
Ian Shantz
Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Marcus Stroman throws to the Minnesota Twins during the second inning of MLB baseball action in Toronto, Monday May 6, 2019. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Mark Blinch ORG XMIT: MDB105
Height doesn't measure heart, but stats measure value.
And in the case of Marcus Stroman, who was roughed up for a second consecutive game in the Minnesota Twins' 8-0 series-opening rout before an announced crowd of 12,292 at the Rogers Centre on Monday night, the Blue Jays must be wondering what has happened to their up-until-recently reliable, small-in-stature starter. In fairness, he got zero help from his offence on a depressing night inside the dome.
Stroman struggled in his previous start and, while he lasted longer than the season-low 3.1 innings he went in a loss at Anaheim last week, this outing was distinctly uglier.
Stroman never could locate his command. He lasted just 4.2 innings, allowing six runs (five earned) while surrendering eight hits, striking out two and walking a pair.
What's more, he gave up two home runs, a rarity for the groundball-inducing specialist. Prior to Monday's massacre, Stroman had not allowed more than one home run in a game in 33 starts and hadn't surrendered a long ball since last August.
"He's just not locating his pitches," said manager Charlie Montoyo, who was ejected by home plate umpire Adam Hamari for arguing balls and strikes in the fifth inning with Brandon Drury at the plate. "When you face a lineup like the Twins, they swing the bats, you throw the ball down the middle, they're going to make you pay."
The AL Central-leading Twins sprayed the ball in every direction against Stroman and it was evident from the get-go that Toronto's me-against-the-world pitbull, so effective through six of his first seven starts coming in, was off-kilter.
Jason Castro lined a laser two-run rope over the fence in right field in the second inning to make it 3-0 Twinkies — and it only got worse.
In the fifth inning, Eddie Rosario crushed a 2-2 offering deep over the wall at centre field for his 12th home run of the season, the rout was on, and that's when skipper Montoyo mercifully pulled the plug on Stroman.
"Just wash it. Move on," Stroman said following the loss. "Focus on the next one. I'm not really worried about it."

Montoyo's frustrations came to a boil in Toronto's half of the fifth when he came to the defence of Drury after a called strike — and that's when Montoyo was told by the masked man who enforces the rules to hit the showers early.
"The moment I go out there, I know I'm going to get thrown out. You don't argue balls and strikes," the skipper said. "From experience, usually teams that are losing or having a tough time are the ones that are complaining the most. Right or wrong, any time you complain about balls or strikes, you're going to get thrown out."
There have been suggestions in recent days that the Jays front office will look to trade its remaining veterans this season, including the just-turned 28-year-old Stroman. The righty's struggles of late won't do anything to increase his market value.
Twins starter Martin Perez, meanwhile, was brilliant. He retired the first eight batters he faced and did not allow a run over seven innings, surrendering just two hits while striking out nine and walking two.
Jonathan Schoop pounded out two doubles for the Twins, while Jorge Polanco added a solo shot off reliever Daniel Hudson in the seventh.
SOGARD SO GOOD
Promoted to the Jays in mid-April, Eric Sogard has been a lights-out leadoff man, supplying the kind of early offence manager Montoyo might not have dreamed of.
The 32-year-old entered Monday's play tops among all leadoff hitters in average (.375), on-base percentage (.470), slugging percentage (.696) and OPS (1.166).
He came in without a strikeout in 40 plate appearances — the longest active streak in the majors — but it came to a halt when Twins starter Perez mowed him down in the second inning of Monday's series-opener.
Sogard's solo home run on Sunday at Texas gave him four on the season, a career-high reached in just 15 games.
Has there been a secret to veteran journeyman's success?
"I don't know, but I'm loving it," Montoyo said pre-game. "I have no history with him. Only spring training. I know he had a good spring training. He's been great … working the counts, hitting for power."
VLAD TO BE HOME?
Since bringing some much-needed electricity to the Rogers Centre in his big-league debut on April 26, with roars of approval raining down following his double in the ninth inning that ignited a Jays' walkoff win, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hasn't exactly set the world on fire.
Outside of that clutch hit in his debut — and collecting his first career RBI this past weekend in Texas — Vladdy's first nine games in The Show have been, shall we say, quiet. Prior to Monday's series opener against the Twins, the 20-year-old's offensive numbers through 30 at-bats included five hits, eight strikeouts, four walks and a slashline of .167/.265/.465 — a far cry from his ludicrous minor-league stats and what will ultimately be expected long-term from the generational talent.
Monday night won't go down as the night it all turned around for Guerrero either. He committed an error in the second — his second in nine games — and went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and an inning-ending double play with runners in scoring position.
The bright side? The guy has yet to play two weeks in the bigs, and he is 20 years old. So, yes, time is on his side.
"All we can tell him is, 'Relax and play your game. You're going to be alright,'" Montoyo said. "We all know he's going to be alright. He's the No. 1 prospect for a reason. Just got to be patient. He's going to be all right."
READY TO ROCC
After finding the win column just once in six tries on the road last week, Montoyo was asked if it felt good to return to the Rogers Centre, where the team sets up shop for a six-game homestand.
The manager offered some levity.
"Yeah, of course, to play a good team like the Twins," said Montoyo, referencing Minnesota's first-place position in the AL Central.
The three-game set against the Twinkies will again pit Montoyo against fellow first-year manager Rocco Baldelli, the two having previously worked together with the Rays in Tampa Bay. Toronto took three of four in Minneapolis last month.
"We just finished running together," Montoyo said pre-game of his old Rays pal. "He only runs two miles. I was just finishing three and then I saw him coming."
WE'VE GOT UPDATES
Prior to the game, Jays officials provided several injury updates. LHP Ryan Borucki (left elbow inflammation) continues his throwing progression with increased distance and intensity and will continue gradual throwing progression this week. LHP Clayton Richard (right knee) threw live BP on May 4 with no issues and is scheduled to throw two innings (40 pitches) in a simulated game on Wednesday. RHP David Phelps (right elbow reconstruction) is scheduled to throw his fifth BP on Tuesday with potential live BP to follow later this week. RHP John Axford (right elbow) has begun light strengthening activities with no issue and will be re-evaluated in one week. OF Dalton Pompey (concussion) continues activity progression, including a running progression in Florida, with no issues. 2B Devon Travis(60-day IL, right knee) continues baseball progressions with an eye on beginning running progressions next. RHP Julian Merryweather (Tommy John surgery) threw one inning last Saturday in extended spring training with no issues and is scheduled to throw two innings on Wednesday. SS Bo Bichette(hand) will be re-evaluated on May 13.

Meghan Markle, Prince Harry Surprised A Bunch Of People During A Zoom Meeting
The royal couple's first joint appearance since their Los Angeles move left one man "shocked."
Carly Ledbetter
Senior Reporter, HuffPost

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry can really liven up a work meeting.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who are currently self-isolating at their home in Los Angeles and calling members of their patronages over Zoom, surprised members of the Crisis Text Line team during a video conference meeting this week.
The couple thanked and encouraged those working at the nonprofit, which provides free mental health support via text messaging, for their continued efforts amid the coronavirus pandemic.
They certainly left an impression on employee Ricky Neal.
"Still shocked that Meghan and Harry took over our staff meeting yesterday!" Neal tweeted on Thursday.
A post shared by Meghan Markle (@hrhofsussex) on May 14, 2020 at 11:28am PDT
Crisis Text Line served as the model for Shout, a similar organization launched in the United Kingdom by the Cambridges and Sussexes last year.
The virtual meeting marked the first joint appearance for the couple since their LA move. Though the two were spotted out delivering food on behalf of the charity Project Angel Food, last month the Sussexes were volunteering privately. TMZ later published footage of the couple on their delivery route.
HuffPost spoke with Project Angel Food's executive director, Richard Ayoub, who had positive things to say about the couple.
"They were just genuinely compassionate, interested individuals who came to visit the kitchens," Ayoub said at the time, adding that they were "extremely engaged with every single person they met."
Ayoub said that Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, was the one who suggested the couple help out with the charity, which helps prepare and deliver food to people with AIDS and other critical illnesses.
Harry and Meghan recently reunited with Ragland after quarantining separately, as Oprah Mag's Carolyn Durand ― who is co-writing a forthcoming book about the duke and duchess ― revealed that the family got together for Mother's Day on Sunday.
It's unclear if Ragland was able to join for Archie's birthday last week, when the Sussexes released a sweet video for the 1-year-old's big day. While Meghan was in front of the camera reading to their little one, Harry was filming the clip and shouting words of encouragement.

News: Mekelle city interim mayor admits presence and participation of Eritrean forces in Tigray conflict

A screenshot of Ataklti Haileselassie, Interim Mayor of Mekelle city, as he spoke about the presence and participation of Eritrean forces in Tigray conflict
By Medihane Ekubamichael @Medihane
Addis Abeba, January 04/2021 – Ataklti Haileselassie, Interim Mayor of Mekelle city who was appointed by the Tigray regional state interim administration, admitted the presence and participation Eritrean forces in the armed conflict in Tigray.
In a video televised by Tigray TV, which is currently under the control of the federal government appointed interim administration in Tigray, Ataklit responds to questions from community members participating in a meeting. According to Ataklit, the question of the presence of Eritrean forces in Tigray was "a daily question of the interim administration," and that "relevant military leaders have been asked to give explanations."
Tigray TV's YouTube channel is no longer uploading Tigray TV programs being televised locally. The video clip was therefore recorded from Tigray TV local broadcast and was released on Facebook.
"Why did they come in?" Ataklti asks and goes on to explain "the country's largest command [the Northern Command], which was supposed to protect the country, was stabbed on its back and they [Eritrean forces] entered because there was no other defense. But it was also announced that they were being withdrawn from the country in a short time. It is a mistake to associate this with the interim administration," he said.
The people of Tigray should not be harmed three or four times in "such unplanned and meaningless war," the interim mayor laments "we have had a lot of embarrassment. When will it be enough for Tigraway from entering an endless war and death? It is a shame that every ten years Tigraway dies due to war. We don't have a problem right now, so we don't have to ask why they came in now, but how to get them out. We are here to discuss what we can do to stabilize the situation outside our city."
Atakliti became the first senior government official to admit the presence and participation of Eritrean forces in the armed conflict in Tigray, which is categorically denied by officials both in Addis Abeba and Asmara despite growing evidences.
In a press briefing he held on December 09, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that he "confronted PM Abiy with that question, and he guaranteed to me that they have not entered Tigrayan territory. The only area where they are is corresponded to the disputed territory between the two countries that was decided to give back to Eritrea."
However, citing U.S. government sources, humanitarian agencies and satellite images, several leading international media including the New York Times, Reuters, and Bloomberg, have reported about the presence and involvement of Eritrean forces in the armed conflict in Tigray, which began exactly two months ago on Nov. 04/2020.
The Ethiopian government, continued referring to the conflict as "law enforcement operation in Tigray," and said it was completed on November 28 after its forces "captured" the city of Mekelle, the capital of Tigray. However, a latest report by Famine Early Warning Systems Network revealed the "conflict has been ongoing at relatively lower levels, predominately in some central and eastern areas."
The Network, which is a USAID founded leading provider of analysis on food insecurity, also warns "the conflict in the Tigray region resulted in a notable decline in food security among displaced, urban, and poor rural households despite the ongoing harvest." AS

"23 Key Tips On How to Get More Clients FAST" written by Mike Marko.
It's a common question I get a lot from consultants and coaches. That's because clients are the lifeblood of any consulting and coaching business.
Yet many consultants and coaches struggle to get clients… So how can you get clients for your business?
Today I'm going to help you. I'm going to share with you my top 31 tips on how to get more clients that you can start applying to your business today!
So let's get started and dive right in. By the way, you can download a pdf version of this blog post by clicking here.
I'm sure you have some sort of social media presence, and if you haven't started yet they get started now!
That being said you need to make sure you first understand what message you want to portray to your social media. And then take that message and ramp it up! Make sure your audience knows you are the authority for XYZ on your social media platforms. To make some "filler" posts, I suggest doing some picture quotes (where you have a quote pertinent to your niche on a nice relevant picture).
Be sure to present yourself on the key social media platforms: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
By the way, if you have blog posts make sure you syndicate them by posting them on social media!
Generating leads is an important aspect of finding prospective clients. So it's important to come up with a plan to reach them.
I've talked about how to use capture pages to get leads in my blog post, The Key Tips To How To Make A Lead Capture Page. Capture pages are a great way to help you generate leads.
If you want to know to get more clients, then "marketing funnel" is something you really need to learn about.
But I recommend marketing funnels that are a lot more involved when you are promoting consulting or coaching services. You're probably promoting a service worth hundreds if not thousands of dollars in value, and that is not a decision you clients will often make spontaneously. The marketing funnel helps to both educate and build trust in you.
Learn more about effective marketing funnels in my blog post, How To Build A Dynamic Marketing Funnel.
Now that you have the capture page and funnel in place, it's time to start running ads. I love Facebook ads for scaling my business, but you can also use Twitter or Instagram if you don't have the budget to run an effective Facebook ad campaign.
Be sure to properly plan out your ad campaign using a Facebook Ad Grid before you run your Facebook Ads. The most effective Facebook marketing campaign puts substantial thought into your marketing hooks.
This may seem like the most obvious way to get more clients… but it really isn't to most. In fact, for the first six months of consulting, I actually forgot to ask for referrals.
How are things going? I really enjoyed working with you on your project. How's it going now?
By the way, I'm looking for new clients to work with.
Can you connect me with at least two people in your network that can use my services right now?
Partnering with an agency is great if you are looking for how to get more clients. I've used this strategy several times to help build up my client base, and experience in a niche.
They don't have the available skills or expertise.
Normally when an agency turns down a potential client they refer the client to someone in their network. That's where you come in.
I recommend emailing a dozen or so agencies with a personalized email to partner or to take up any work they pass up on. You may get responses from half, and then you can setup phone calls to work out details.
Let's face it… blogging is an amazing way to build relationships with your potential and present clients. My personal blog gets TONS of traffic every day.
Now you won't get your blog to suddenly start driving traffic to your business… it takes time. I had a mentor years ago point out to me that it takes 400-700 blog posts before a blog really starts working for you organically (through Google search, etc). That's right… I'm not going to sugar coat anything. That's a LOT of work. But it starts with one simple blog post… and then another… and another… and before you know it.
Blog's are also great to help convert traffic into sales. They help build up trust in your skills as you demonstrate you are an authority in your niche.
I cover some of the blogging fundamentals in my blog post, How to Get Leads With A Blog.
Don't delay… the blog will end up being your most valuable resource if you plan on being in business long term.
Now while I said that it takes a ton of blogs to really get your blog profitable, you can actually speed that process up by guest blogging. Guest blogs are a way to borrow traffic from more established blogs and get their readers to learn about your "kung fu", or in other words, you establish yourself as an authority on someone else's blog.
Find blogs that your prospective clients read, and ask to guest post on them. You should be able to write about topics that fit the niche of the blog. And be sure to write something that gives away tons of value.
Alltop is a great place to start finding popular blogs in your industry.
I'm sure you already have a "Contact Us" form on your website… but that's usually only used by people ready to hire now. Most of the time potential clients may only browse your website then leave without even contacting you.
That's why it's important to give lead magnets like PDF's or checklists in exchange for their email. You can later put these leads through the marketing campaign to help convert them into clients.
I recommend Lead Pages to capture leads.
I mean those clients that heard you offer and said "no".
Don't give up on those old clients. I will put them on a follow-up campaign on my calendar where I touch bases with them every 1-3 months and see how their project is going.
This tactic is great for showing that you care about the client. It also helps keep you on their radar in case the opportunity to together opens up again. I've gotten a lot of business using this approach.
Don't just sit behind your computer all week long… plan to go to a meetup or conference, or other places where your prospective clients may be hanging out. I wished I had started this from day one because not only may you pick up a nugget or two of information, but you can network to find new clients.
You can also network online using platforms like LinkedIn. Make sure your LinkedIn profile is up-to-date, informative, and include examples of your work. I recommend sharing your blog posts, website, and anything else that helps promote you.
I'm sure you are already using job boards. You should go ahead and bookmark the following resources. These boards include design, development, marketing, copywriting, and miscellaneous jobs. The work ranges from remote, full-time, part-time, contract, consulting, etc… so there's plenty to choose from.
A long-term strategy to when you are looking for how to get more clients is to offer free strategy sessions. It can be a great tactic to offer 60-min free strategy sessions where you go over strategies to help them get new business. You don't go into the nuts and bolts of the solution (otherwise they'll feel they can just do things themselves) but instead, you go over the overall strategy on how to convert sales.
I've used this tactic very effectively to bring in clients into my consulting business. Although this strategy takes time (to meet the clients either online or offline) it serves as a great way to generate new business.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a great long term strategy to get targeted traffic to your company website.
Now you won't get results overnight, but when you combine SEO with blogging (see above) you'll be creating a sound long term strategy to get more paying clients.
For some more information on SEO check out this blog post: What is SEO Marketing – Search Engine Optimization.
Browse through old email conversations with colleagues, connections, and people you've spoken with in the past that could be a fit for your consultancy. Follow up with them by asking what they've been up to and how you can help.
Asking how you can help lowers resistance of someone versus asking if they would like to hire you for your services. It helps build up relationships. Plus if you go out of the way to help someone for free, they'll likely return the favor and help you.
You can then ask them to give you two people they believe would benefit from your services.
You can write an eBook solving a problem of your target audience. You can then either give it away for free (to give away if they give their email to you in a capture page) or sell it on your website.
You never know what you can find. It's worth checking out.
You can always create a course on Udemy. It will help you tap into a large audience of students and prospective clients.
If you work from home, you may want to consider coworking at least once a week.
Coworking spaces are great for meeting similar-minded individuals. You can then work your way further into your local community of professionals.
You'll build up strong relationships, and be a go-to consultant for people at the coworking space. You can also attend the meetings and events that the coworking space may host.
You can find coworking spaces by Googling "coworking + your zip code".
If you are looking to land a new client, nothing gets their attention more than a handwritten letter.
Find the person who is most likely to hire you. Write and send a letter that focuses on solving their problems.
This strategy is also great for following up after meeting prospective clients. The letter adds a nice touch.
I love using press releases to help get the message about services and to let people in the industry know about any major announcements you may have. There are several press release services. It's also a service I offer my clients.
If you're replying to a job ad or cold emailing, or cold Facebook or Skype messaging, then it's a good idea to be personal and stand out from the competition.
When you sound like you are writing and messaging that person exclusively, and you've taken the time to learn things about them, you'll be amazed how that personal touch will help you close more deals. You'll certainly stand out from the pack.
Business cards can be a very effective marketing tool… if done right.
Remember that your business card is your first "billboard" or "ad" that most people will see from you. Make sure that it is easy to read, stand out, and looks of quality.
I've just listed 23 different ways on how to get more clients for your consulting or coaching business. These are some of the best strategies to help you land more clients in your business. Pick at least three strategies and get started right away!
