Effective banner advertising has two main functions -- branding and response -- but ads don't always do both jobs equally well.
This Chevrolet ad features a red truck that attracts attention. At the same time, note the response mechanisms at the bottom that allow searches for build, price and inventory.
Effective banner advertising has two main functions — branding and response — but ads don't always do both jobs equally well. We take a look at which purpose makes the most sense for a client.
The early days of online advertising based its reputation on clicks, which is the main response function of the ads.
During that time, a typical Web page had few ads, and those ads were much smaller than today. The small ad sizes limited the use of graphics and emphasized text because it was space efficient.
As an example, one of the first standard ad sizes was the strong horizontal size — the 468 by 60. That size has been replaced by the 728 x 90 and the 970×90.
However, the Internet became flooded with banners. It was the result of a vast increase in the number of sites, the skyrocketing page views and ad inventory, and an increase in the number of ads per page.
This led to a steep decline in average click-through rates and therefore the response value of banner ads.
Online ad rates plummeted as well. Site visitors were overwhelmed and began to block out the ads.
The trend started to reverse as ad sizes grew larger, which allowed ad creators to focus more attention on graphics and brands. As a result, effective banner advertising could serve both response and brand depending on the advertiser and campaign.
One big challenge is getting both publishers and advertisers to understand the importance of branding in any effective banner campaign.
The best banner ads have much in common with outdoor billboards. Billboards typically have one simple but powerful image and a handful of words. They are designed that way because people driving by will look only for a few seconds at most.
Good banner ads are built with the same goal in mind. A project from Microsoft Research found that the first 10 seconds that people spend on a Web page is critical in deciding whether they stay or leave.
Use one great image to attract attention — or none at all.
Use a small logo for company branding.
Offer a call to action with the fewest words possible.
Keep file sizes small for fast loading.
Try Flash or other forms of animation, but keep #4 in mind.
Choose attractive colors and fonts.
Design it to stand out while complementing the surrounding site.
Although most people think of ad response rates as the ratio of clicks to impressions, good response ads include more than just the ability to click through to the advertiser's Web site. They also should include a phone number, email address or business address when possible.
A number of online operations have found success with using a phone number in particular because it allows a client to call from their desk right as they see the ad.
Some operations even provide a toll-free number to their clients as a way of tracking the number of calls. Newspaper and TV station Web sites that use the toll-free numbers for automotive dealers have reported more leads from the phone numbers than from emails or clickthroughs.
The metrics above are direct response measurements. Indirect response includes in-store visits for retail by people who saw the ad and later made the response by going to the store.
Other good candidates for response advertising include mortgage companies, travel services (cruises, airlines, agents), real estate and financial services — businesses that typically are information-intensive and that draw a high number of phone calls rather than personal visits from potential customers.
Rackspace took a different approach in this 300×600 ad by using a large font for text combined with animation rather than emphasizing a dominant image.
Businesses such as real estate, automotive, entertainment and travel destinations that do draw personal visits from potential customers are good candidates for banner ads that emphasize branding.
These businesses find benefit from short-term campaigns that focus on sales, events, seasonal peaks and other time-based activities.
Branding-focused ads emphasize images, and as a result they gravitate toward the larger ad sizes that are becoming more popular.
Those large sizes include the 970×90 mentioned earlier as well as the 300×600 and animated variations. One example opens into a 970×250 when the visitor first arrives on the site and shrinks to a 970×90 when the visitor clicks on a Close button.
Any advertiser with images that create a compelling and attractive visual is a good candidate for large branding ads.
So a simple question should be part of any needs analysis with a client — should the banner ad campaign emphasize branding, response or some combination of both? It depends on the business and the need.
The success of the campaign depends in part on making the right choice.
Effective banner advertising isn't just about the direct response rate. It also includes indirect response that comes from branding.
I like your recommendation on using bold colors to attract eyes on your banner. This can be really useful considering it is a great advertising tool. Another great thing about banners is that they can be situated really high in the air to get even more vision.

Vietnam War casualties
Estimates of casualties in the Vietnam War vary widely. Estimates include both civilian and military deaths in North and South Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.The Second Indochina War (aka. the Vietnam War or the American War) began in 1955 and ended in 1975 when North Vietnamese forces captured Saigon. During this period, the war escalated from an insurgency in South Vietnam assisted by the North Vietnamese government to direct military intervention in the south by North Vietnam to assist the insurgents and the intervention of military forces of the United States and other countries to assist South Vietnam. The war also spilled over into the neighboring countries of Cambodia and Laos. An exhaustive reckoning of the total casualties must include statistical information available for each theater of the war. Most of the fighting took place in South Vietnam; accordingly it suffered the most casualties.Civilian deaths caused by both sides amounted to a significant percentage of total deaths, perhaps from 30 to nearly 50 percent. Civilian deaths caused by communist forces, which included the Viet Cong, North Vietnamese Army, Pathet Lao and Khmer Rouge, mostly resulted from assassinations and terror tactics. Civilian deaths caused by the armed forces of the governments of South Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, the United States, South Korea, and other allies were primarily the consequence of extensive aerial bombing and the use of massive firepower in military operations conducted in heavily populated areas. The nature of the war often made it difficult to distinguish between combatants and non-combatants.A number of incidents occurred during the war in which civilians were deliberately targeted or killed. The best-known are the Massacre at Huế and the My Lai massacre.

Home Top Stories De Lima's failure, Aguirre's conflict: Fits, starts, new hope for DDS probe?
De Lima's failure, Aguirre's conflict: Fits, starts, new hope for DDS probe?
SWORN STATEMENTS of key informants, the transcripts of stenographic notes, and official records and documents from the Commission on Human Rights (CHR), as well as reports of other state bodies and rights groups into the so-called Davao Death Squad (DDS) over the last eight years should have moved the story about this alleged group of assassins beyond the conduct of public hearings.
But dithering and unfocused action by the concerned public officials and state agencies, a tragic lack of witnesses carefully consumed by fear of retaliation, and the exceedingly slow court processes have resulted in fits and starts in the multiple official efforts to investigate allegations about the DDS and those behind it.
A spate of killings of alleged petty criminals, along with those of drug pushers and addicts — including minors — in Davao City during the multiple mayoralty terms of Rodrigo R. Duterte there had been reported to be the work of DDS.
But it was only three years later, on June 28, 2012, when the CHR, by then chaired by Loretta Ann Rosales, issued an en banc resolution that outlined six recommendations in response to the findings of the de Lima CHR's inquiry.
Five years hence and with new testimonies from two self-confessed DDS hitmen — Edgar Matobato and newly retired SPO3 Arturo Lascañas — the CHR now chaired by Jose Luis Gascon wants to resume its investigation into the DDS.
Lascañas, the former police chiefs of Davao City, and CHR officials have been asked to testify today on the DDS before the Senate Committee on Public Order and Dangerous Drugs chaired by Sen. Panfilo Lacson.
Matobato had testified in September 2016 before the Senate Committee on Justice and Human Rights then headed by de Lima; Lascañas testified in October 2016 before the same committee, but by then the chairmanship had passed on to Sen. Richard Gordon.
While there are those who remain hopeful that some clarity about the DDS would finally emerge from the latest hearings, results from previous similar efforts are far from encouraging.
Indeed, all that has happened by way of results from the various DDS inquiries is this: in March 2012, the Office of the Ombudsman imposed a fine equivalent to one-month's salary on 21 high-ranking officers of the Philippine National Police (PNP) for "neglect of duty" or failure to act on "the unabated killings in Davao City… attributed to the 'Davao Death Squad (DDS)'" that occurred from 2005 to 2008.
In this series of failed investigations into the DDS, those who failed their mandates to ferret out the truth and do justice to those who were killed include two Justice secretaries at opposite ends of the political spectrum today: DDS critic, former Justice Secretary, and now Sen. Leila de Lima, and incumbent Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II.
De Lima served as justice chief for over five years from June 30, 2010 to October 12, 2015. During that period, the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), an agency under her office, exerted no significant effort to investigate the findings into the DDS of the CHR under her and her successor. Even until last week, a CHR insider said that the NBI has yet to submit any report of any investigation into the DDS that it had conducted under de Lima.
Meanwhile, apart from his repeated flat denials of the DDS's existence, Aguirre, the current justice chief, is in a real conflict-of-interest situation on the DDS issue. Aguirre had served as lead counsel of a key DDS player: SPO4 (Ret.) Bienvenido Laud alias "Tatay Laud," owner of the Laud firing range and quarry in Purok 3, Barangay Ma-a, Davao City, where many DDS victims had been killed and buried, according to sworn testimonies of the CHR's witnesses.
On Nov. 9, 2014, the Supreme Court First Division had upheld the grant of a search warrant to uncover the bones of six victims who, on the testimony of a first-hand witness, the DDS had killed and buried at the Laud Quarry in Davao City in 2005.
The ruling should have opened a new window of opportunity for the police and the CHR to resume their investigation into the DDS last year, on the strength of a valid search warrant upheld by the high court no less. Yet neither the CHR nor the PNP acted on the high court's cue.
Aguirre had signed and filed for his client Laud in the case before a Manila regional trial court, and which eventually reached the high court, way back in 2009. But just months ago at the Senate hearing into the DDS in September 2016, the Justice Secretary still sounded like a defense lawyer for Laud.
The Senate was told of a sworn statement by a witness, Edgar Avasola, who said that he had helped bury DDS victims at the Laud compound. Avasola, in his statement submitted to the Supreme Court, had also said that during a visit in 2009 a CHR team led by de Lima found bones at the site. To this Aguirre remarked: "The bodies did not prove anything. In fact, there were statements that they were bodies of people who were executed during the Japanese occupation." Some of the skeletons, he said, were probably those of animals.
Other than de Lima and Aguirre, a number of the PNP officers who had been linked to the DDS and had been fined by the Ombudsman for failure to act on the DDS, remain in active duty status, or now occupy major civilian positions as appointees of President Rodrigo R. Duterte.
SPO4 Sanson 'Sonny' Buenaventura, Duterte's "driver-bodyguard" from 1998 to 2008, who is now assigned to civil security work at the Davao City Hall.
P/SUPT Michael John Dubria, the incumbent Davao City police chief.
Meanwhile, one of those that CHR had summoned in 2009 to testify on the DDS, P/Supt Ramon Apolinario, is now the PNP's deputy director general for operations.
Apolinario had served as Davao City's police chief from 2008 to 2010. As the No. 2 man in the PNP today, he is said to be a frontrunner to succeed PNP Director-General Ronald 'Bato' de la Rosa who will retire on January 12, 2018 when he turns 56 years old. De la Rosa himself had served as Davao City police chief from 2012 to 2013.
"[I]t is not necessary to determine the perpetrators' culpability or intentionality in order to establish that the rights enshrined in the Convention have been violated, nor is it essential to identify individually the agents to whom the acts of violation are attributed," said the CHR.
HON. MELCHOR P. ROSALES, Undersecretary for Peace and Order and Transnational Crimes, Department of Interior and Local Government, Francisco Gold Condominium II, EDS4, cor. Mapagmahal St, Diliman, Quezon City.
In subsequent hearings in April 2009, de Lima's CHR would also summon the heads of several barangays in Davao City, including Mayor Duterte's eldest son Paolo, who was then the village chief of Barangay Catalunan Grande.
The CHR eventually obtained the sworn testimonies of at least four people — some of whose affidavits do not bear their real names "for security reasons," according to the CHR records — who disclosed their respective first-hand accounts of the operations of the DDS.
Some other witnesses offered information in confidence or in letters to the CHR. Records of the PNP regional and local commands on the number of homicide and murder cases during the period, as well as their roster of officers and men were also summoned by the CHR.
Matobato and Lascañas were not among these witnesses. Instead, the CHR witnesses had named them as participants or leaders in some of the murders attributed to the DDS.
The CHR's investigation was suspended midstream, however, after de Lima was appointed justice secretary by then newly elected President Benigno S. Aquino III in June 2010. Her CHR team later submitted to those she left behind at the Commission the records of the investigation and what one CHR insider described as a "less than complete final report." The task of following through the findings of de Lima's CHR team passed on to her successors in the CHR en banc led by Rosales.
It would take Rosales's team nearly three years to study and review the investigation's records before it could issue its resolution on the DDS on June 28, 2012.
Arnilbansa T. Mantling, Punong Barangay of 23-C.
Yet even as the CHR hearings in 2009 secured mostly qualified statements on the existence of the DDS, a majority of those who testified also confirmed the existence of "lists containing the names of confirmed or suspected criminals at the barangay level." Many of those who landed on such lists eventually turned up on the lists of those felled allegedly by the DDS and vigilantes.
Noel Sandoval, CVO chief in Barangay Buhangin Proper, meanwhile told the CHR that "the lists of children who are problematic, meant to identify those whom the Barangay should set up programs for, are drawn up not by CVOs but by 'higher ups'.


Casey Research recently shared this video of defense attorney Marc Victor. He sketches out how immaterial civil rights have become in the US, and what kind of prosecutorial and regulatory powers are accorded to the state. I thought some of you might find it interesting.

The federal investigation into Catholic priest abuse now includes every diocese in the nation.
U.S. Attorney William McSwain has put every archdiocese, diocese and Catholic entity on notice to preserve and not destroy evidence of priest abuse or a cover-up.
An attorney for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops told the York Daily Record Friday the organization is complying with a request from the U.S. Department of Justice.
In a letter sent earlier this month, McSwain directed conference President Daniel DiNardo to notify all Catholic institutions to preserve documents in their current form and condition, "and not be destroyed, discarded, disposed of, deleted, or altered in any way."

Part of the letter was published by a Philadelphia blogger on Friday. It shows the letter from McSwain's office was sent Oct. 9, which is the same week Pennsylvania dioceses received federal subpoenas. It directs DiNardo to "immediately transmit copies of this preservation request" to all members and affiliates.

"We have transmitted the US Attorney's letter at his request and in the spirit of cooperation with law enforcement," Anthony R. Picarello, Jr., associate general secretary and general counsel for the bishops conference, told the York Daily Record on Friday evening.
Boston attorney Mitchell Garabedian, who has represented survivors of clergy sexual abuse for decades, said the letter is significant.
He said he knew of no other time that the entire Catholic church in America had been ordered to preserve such evidence.

"It's a significant step in the process in that Cardinal DiNardo is being informed that he has to have evidence preserved, and accordingly the letter is meant to prevent the destruction of evidence," Garabedian said. "If the evidence is destroyed after receipt of this letter, then there could be significant criminal action taken against the entity."
Michele Mucellin, acting public affairs officer for the Eastern District of the U.S. Department of Justice, said she could not comment on the letter, and could not confirm or deny the existence of any investigation.

James Faluszczak, an abuse survivor and former priest who testified before the Pennsylvania grand jury, said he's concerned some records may have already been destroyed or never recorded in the first place.
Faluszczak, who served as a priest from 1998-2016, told the grand jury a bishop asked him to investigate a lay teacher at a Catholic school and to withhold the evidence from a district attorney.

Last week, the Associated Press reported that federal investigators had opened an investigation into child sexual abuse by Roman Catholic clergy in Pennsylvania, using subpoenas to demand secret files and testimony from church leaders.
Victims' advocates said the federal investigation launched in Pennsylvania is the first such probe ever by the U.S. Justice Department.
The federal investigation came about two months after a historic grand jury report found that 301 "predator priests" in Pennsylvania dioceses had molested more than 1,000 children since the 1940s. The grand jury report showed that the church leadership, including bishops, covered up the abuse.
News of the federal investigation of Pa. broke the day after Pennsylvania Senators failed to vote on a measure that could have allowed survivors of child sexual abuse, including those abused by Catholic clergy, the ability to sue their abusers. The state's statute of limitations prevents survivors of child sexual abuse from suing their abuser if they haven't taken action by the time they turn 30.
The grand jury made four recommendations:
Eliminate the the statute of limitations
Expand the window in which abuse victims can sue their abuser and the church
Clarify the penalties against institutions for failing to report abuse
Ban civil confidentiality agreements from preventing victims from reporting abuse to law enforcement.

Post Nation
For the first time in almost 50 years, less than half of Americans support the death penalty
An arm restraint in Oklahoma's execution chamber. (Sue Ogrocki/AP)
Mark Berman
National reporter covering law enforcement and criminal justice
The death penalty in America is continuing its steady decline. The United States is on pace to carry out fewer executions this year than it has in a quarter-century, and the number of states putting inmates to death and handing down fatal sentences have both plummeted. Yet through it all, one group has maintained its support for the death penalty: the American people. Polls have shown that while approval of capital punishment has declined since peaking two decades ago, a solid majority of people have still said they are in favor of the death penalty.
Until now, at least. The share of Americans supporting the death penalty had fallen to its lowest levels in more than four decades, dropping below 50 percent for the first time since Richard Nixon was in the White House, according to a new Pew Research Survey.
The new results highlight a dramatic gulf in the way Americans view capital punishment, with an acute gap breaking down along fault lines of age, race and gender. And as the country approaches Election Day, the biggest division can be found between different political parties, a dramatic change from two decades ago, when the number of executions was rising and support for the death penalty was at its modern peak.
Still, the biggest news in Pew's survey is that less than half of Americans favor capital punishment for people convicted of murder. The last time the number was so low was in November 1971, according to Pew's records.
The number has fallen since just March 2015, when 56 percent of Americans backed the death penalty. In that earlier survey, a majority of Americans acknowledged that they agreed there was a risk that an innocent person could be put to death under the current system.
Public backing for the death penalty reached its apex in the early 1990s, when about 8 in 10 Americans said they supported the death penalty. At the time, the violent crime rate and murder rate alike were spiking in the United States, though both have since declined dramatically. Despite an uptick in violent crime and murders last year, these numbers still remain far below what they were during that period.
Gallup has found higher levels of support in its polls than Pew, reporting last year that 6 in 10 Americans backed the death penalty, a larger percentage than Pew found. CBS News, in a poll last year, found the same share of people backing the death penalty as Pew had reported. But Gallup and Pew, along with other polls, have been consistently seeing a big decline in public support for the death penalty over the past two decades.
Still, even with the overall drop in support found by Pew, there are some groups still more likely to back the death penalty. Men are more likely to favor it (55 percent) than women (43) percent. People between the ages of 18 and 29 are more likely to oppose capital punishment than support it; in every older age group, at least half said they supported the practice. White people are almost twice as likely (57 percent) as black people (29 percent) to support it. A little more than 1 in 3 Hispanic people support it (36 percent), and half oppose it (50 percent).
The U.S. saw fewer executions and death sentences in 2015 than it has in decades
A sharp and evolving split can also be seen between people based on their political leanings. Two decades ago, big majorities of Republicans (87 percent), Democrats (71 percent) and independents (79 percent) all supported capital punishment.
All of these numbers have dipped, but by different measures. Republican support has fallen 15 points, to 72 percent this year, while support from Democrats has plummeted by half, falling to 34 percent over that span. Independents are now slightly more likely to oppose capital punishment (45 percent) than support it (44 percent), after more than half of them supported it a year ago.
This drop in public support comes amid a drop in executions and a broader retrenchment in capital punishment that is playing out from coast to coast. Most states still allow the death penalty, but for some of these places it remains on the books without remaining in use. Governors in Oregon and Washington have imposed moratoriums, as has the governor in Pennsylvania, which has one of the country's largest death rows and no willingness to carry out any of these sentences. In other cases, even in ruby-red states, death penalty support is not a given, and some Republican lawmakers have pushed to get rid of the practice.
Even the handful of states that both have the death penalty and an interest in carrying out executions are facing challenges because of a shortage of the drugs used for lethal injections. This issue has forced these states to reconfigure the chemicals they use and scramble to obtain the drugs, an increasingly difficult proposition. Ohio is in the midst of what will be at least a three-year hiatus from executions while it tries to find lethal injection drugs.
In other cases, states eager to carry out executions have struggled against impositions both external and self-imposed.
Florida has the second-biggest death row in the country (trailing only California), but the state remains on the sidelines. The state's Supreme Court is considering what to do with the sentences of nearly 400 death row inmates after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down its death-sentencing system as unconstitutional this year. (That statute was later rewritten.) Oklahoma has still not resumed executions since using the wrong drug in a lethal injection last year and nearly using the wrong one again, mistakes that were outlined by a scathing grand jury report.
Meanwhile, so far this year only five states have carried out executions. Two of them — Texas and Georgia — have accounted for 12 of the 15 executions this year. The country's last execution was in July. And so far, no state appears to be immune to these national trends: Even Texas, far and away the country's death-penalty leader, last carried out an execution in April. Since that time, it has seen several executions stayed or delayed.

Liya Kibede's More Than Model Life
Liya Kibede, the international super model — and Ethiopia's native daughter — isn't resting on her laurels. This girl works. She works the runway. She works a magazine layout and she can definitely work an ad campaign. She works LemLem, the fashion label she founded in 2007 with the goal of putting traditional Ethiopian weavers back to work. She works The Liya Kibede Foundation, her namesake foundation dedicated to saving the lives of birthing mothers and children by ensuring that every woman, no matter where she lives, has access to life-saving care. She even works the silver screen, having appeared in nine films, including the Matt Damon starrer The Good Shepherd and Desert Flower, based on model and anti-female genital mutilation activist Waris Dirie's novel by the same name.
Kibede was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in 1978, to an airline executive father and a mother with a career in public relations. She tiptoed onto the modeling scene in 1998, after being discovered at Addis Ababa's French school or lycee. Her career began in Paris, and ended almost as soon when, discouraged by the apparent limitations for girls who looked like her, she moved to Chicago where one of her brother's lived, and took up life as a catalogue model. Destiny had other ideas. The year after she decamped for America's mid-West, Tom Ford plucked her out of obscurity by casting her in his Spring 2000 show. The rest, as they say, is history.
Kibede married investment banker Kassy Kibede in 2000. That same year, she and 15 of the world's top black super models were photographed by Annie LIebovitz for Iman's book I Am Iman. A month later, Tom Ford made her the face of his African-inspired collection for YSL Rive Gauche. A year later, in 2001, she and her husband Kassy welcomed their son, Suhul.
By 2002, French Vogue had dedicated its May issue to Kibede. By 2003, Kibede had became the face of Dolce & Gabbana, appearing in an ad campaign shot by the influential fashion designer Stephen Meisel. Later that year, she signed a $2.7 Million contract with Estee Lauder, becoming the first woman of color to represent the storied brand. By 2004, she'd landed campaigns with Louis Vuitton and Balenciaga and appeared with a group of "Models of the Moment" on the coveted September cover of American Vogue. From there things got even more interesting.
In 2005, Kibede was named a World Health Organization Good Will Ambassador for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health, appeared on the cover of the May issue of Ameican Vogue (this time sharing the cover with no one), and gave birth to daughter, Raee, her and Kassy's second child. By 2006, she'd appeared in The Good Shephard. By 2007, she'd launched her socially-conscious fashion brand, LemLem, become the face of Lanvin, and been ranked one of Forbes Magazine's world's highest paid models.
Kibede's modeling career hasn't let up and shows no signs of letting up soon. Neither does her commitment to using the platform she has to help make a material difference in the lives of women and children in our world. Kibede's humanitarian efforts have not gone unnoticed. In 2010, she was named one of the World Economic Forums Young Global Leaders, and named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time Magazine. Thank goodness she likes to use her powers as a force for good! Her old friend Tom Ford, in an essay he penned for her profile in Time magazine, speaking of Kibede's devotion, drive and desire to better our world had this to say: "Liya's work comes from a place of sincerity, and her beauty is much more than skin-deep." Today we take our hats off to a beautiful woman who has taken all the gifts she was given and woven from it a more than beautiful life.

Warner, Kaine: Escalating Trump trade war would hurt Virginia soybean production, jobs
Published Wednesday, Apr. 18, 2018, 5:55 pm
U.S. Sens. Mark R. Warner and Tim Kaine (both D-VA) expressed increased concern over how President Trump's trade war would hurt Virginia's soybean production, which is the Commonwealth's number one cash crop.
China's Ministry of Commerce has recently announced they will begin proactively taxing Chinese companies that import some American agricultural products at 178.6% to discourage imports. The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) has confirmed that China is the Commonwealth's biggest export market for agricultural goods and suggested President Trump's tariffs could hurt Virginia businesses and employees. Soybean production in Virginia accounts for roughly $187 million in economic output, which helps supports thousands of jobs in the Commonwealth. Amid escalating rhetoric by the Trump Administration, China announced that it is considering raising tariffs on soybeans, beef, and other critical agriculture commodities produced in Virginia.
"Virginia's soybean producers should not be held hostage to the uncertainty of President Trump's trade games," said Sen. Warner. "While China should be held accountable for its unfair trade practices, this should not be done at the expense of the hardworking soybean farmers in this country. President Trump needs to work with us to find the best way to resolve these disputes and avoid threatening an industry that creates thousands of new jobs and brings millions of dollars to rural communities in Virginia."
"Clearly China is not taking President Trump's threats lightly and we're going to start feeling the pain of his rash actions. Our farmers deserve better than this," said Sen. Kaine. "President Trump says he wants to create jobs and stimulate the economy yet his actions will have the opposite effect. His inflammatory, bullying tactics are going to hurt Virginians."
"Exports are a vital source of income for Virginia's farmers and here in the Commonwealth we have worked hard to open new markets around the world for our agriculture and forestry exporters. However, these efforts are jeopardized by threats of tariffs and trade wars at the national level," said Bettina Ring, Virginia Secretary of Agriculture and Forestry. "I hope that our trade negotiators will keep our hardworking farmers and agribusinesses front of mind when working with their Chinese counterparts to solve this trade dispute."
"The Virginia Soybean Association is concerned with the potential of trade wars within the global marketplace, including China. International trade is vital for the economic viability of the soybean industry," said Nick Moody, President of the Virginia Soybean Association. "Uncertainty in trade agreements directly affect the stability of markets and price, which is a major concern for producers in a business that is already largely dependent on weather. Our hope is for the administration to work with leaders in international markets to create solid solutions to these trade disputes, which will not continue to disrupt soybean markets."
According to VDACS, agriculture is Virginia's largest private industry, with an economic impact of $70 billion annually that provides more than 334,000 jobs. The agriculture and forestry industries combined have a total economic impact of over $91 billion and provide more than 442,000 jobs in the Commonwealth. Every job in agriculture and forestry supports 1.7 jobs elsewhere in Virginia's economy. Production agriculture alone employs 54,000 Virginians and accounts for more than $3.8 billion in economic output. Almost 10 percent of Virginia's gross domestic product (GDP) is directly tied to agriculture and forestry.
Sens. Warner and Kaine previously raised concerns about how President Trump's trade war with China could hurt Virginia businesses and employees, listing the set of products grown and made in Virginia that have been targeted by the Chinese for duties. They also wrote to the Administration last week warning that withdrawing from the North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)—another significant source of agricultural exports for Virginia—would negatively impact Virginia's agricultural industry.
Below is a detailed list of soybean producing areas in Virginia as of 2017. A comprehensive list can be found here.

The airport shuttle services can be used for a lot of reasons. There are people who want airport switch after weddings, a vacation, business trips, firm journeys and many more. An airport shuttle can convey you where you want to go and this is very helpful to vacationers who usually are not comfortable with taking the public transportation.
It is less costly to hire an airport shuttle than a taxi, a limo, or sedan. The airport shuttle can carry many passengers with out having to fret about where to put the baggage since it may fit within the trunk conveniently. You might be assured that you're in protected palms because the drivers know the roads as well because the landscapes around the city.
In case you are in a bunch, it is more advisable that you simply hire an airport shuttle because taxis are very expensive. In case you're on a vacation or possibly on a business trip in Denver, the shuttle will pick you up wherever you're staying. There will be lesser worries since you may get to your desired destination earlier. The process is the same from the place you are dropped off and back to where you're staying. You may see the shuttle waiting outside when you're achieved with a gathering, a seminar or a tour.
You get to enjoy decrease rates while you avail of the shuttle service that means there is no additional cost even should you get caught in visitors for hours. Nevertheless, one disadvantage is that you would have to travel with different people. Different stops are made before you may lastly attain your destination. This happens because it must drop different passengers if their destination is nearer to the airport than yours. When you're not lucky, you are the last one to arrive. For these reasons, it is higher to journey a taxi. Another weakness in the shuttle service is that almost all of them go away as scheduled while in other airports, they depart as quickly because the shuttle is full.
Book the airport shuttle early. Because of the attractive rate, different vacationers wish to take the shuttle too. It is nice to know that Denver gives all kinds of airport shuttle service. Be sure you know what folks think about certain corporations before you make your choice or better but, make additional analysis about their performance. All the essential information can be found on the sites and it's possible you'll book there on the same time.
If shuttles are nonetheless too expensive for you, consider taking public transport. This is actually essentially the most economic method into and out of the airport. Nevertheless, it may also be the slowest means and this could mean that your journey will take longer than you expected particularly when you arrived during the rush hours. Another problem with public transportation is that the option shouldn't be all the time available during holidays and off peak hours.
If Nassau NAS Airport shuttle service shuttles are expensive, you can too try the general public transport. This is the most affordable strategy to leave the airport but then it may additionally causes you delays which means that the trip may take longer than it really should and even worse while you journey throughout rush hour. It is usually not available at certain occasions just like the holidays.
