Aging of Michigan's Lawyer Base Portends Job Growth
Cooley President and Dean, Don LeDuc
The Graying of Michigan's Lawyers
By Don LeDuc
President and Dean
Most students entering law school in 2012 will graduate in 2015. By then, a significant demographic factor will come into play regarding the job market. That factor is the aging Michigan lawyer.
More than half of Michigan's active resident lawyers are 50 years old or older. And Michigan data show that more lawyers are leaving the practice of law in Michigan than the law schools produce.
The result is that, starting very soon, Michigan will not produce the number of law school graduates sufficient to replace the number now leaving the profession through retirement, death, and other employment.
This portends well for job growth in Michigan.
The Premise for This Analysis
The premise of the following analysis is fairly simple: Michigan will not produce the number of law school graduates sufficient to replace the number now leaving the profession through retirement, death, and other employment. A good way to think about this globally is to consider it the reverse of the much-discussed coming social security crisis brought on by the burgeoning retirement of the aging baby boomers. They are beginning to retire in large numbers, and while each retiree becomes a social security burden, each one leaves a job and contributes to a growing demand for replacement employees. Some of those needed replacement employees, of course, will have to be lawyers.
The Source of the Data
This analysis will focus on Michigan and is based on data taken from a 2011 three-part demographics report issued by the State Bar of Michigan using 2010 data. The report looks at the Michigan lawyer membership by age-group, with the demographics in the report based upon the age profile in 2010. According to the report, in 2010 there were 33,492 active Michigan resident members of the Michigan bar. The members of the bar are now one year older, but this analysis will not take that into effect except as specifically noted.
More Than Half of Michigan's Lawyers Are 50 Years Old or Older
Among active Michigan resident members, 11.1% were born before 1944 (these 3,716 lawyers are called "traditionalists" in the bar report). Another 42.3% were born in 1944-60 (the 14,155 so-called "boomers"), meaning that a combined 53.4% were born before 1961. The youngest of the traditionalists will be 69 in 2012. The youngest of the boomers will be 52.
According to a more detailed breakdown of the age cohorts elsewhere in the State Bar report, 55.6% of the active Michigan resident members were 50 years old or older in 2010. The Bar reports that 9,918 members are 60 or over, which is 29.6% of its active members. Another 8,724 active members are in the 50 to 59 age group, constituting another 26.0% of the active membership in Michigan.
The implications of this aging membership for the job market are significant, if not alarming. Over the next twenty years, most of these lawyers will be gone from practice. And, presumably, most of those who were 60 or older at the time of the State Bar's report will retire in the next ten years.
That means that as many as 9,918 lawyer replacements will be needed within a decade (this presumes that the number who will not retire will be balanced by about the same number of those in younger age categories who will leave membership). For the 60 and over group, the assumption is that about one-tenth will retire each year beginning in 2011. So, on average, about 992 lawyers will be needed each year in the next decade, just to replace these older lawyers.
Another 8,724 lawyers were age 50 to 59 at the time of the survey in 2010. Assuming that these lawyers are evenly spread within this ten-year cohort, about 872 are in each year's group. Further assuming that each group will retire at age 67, the first of this group will reach retirement in 2018, adding about 872 lawyers per year to the 992 lawyers from the older group for approximately a three-year period, meaning that the demand will grow to 1,864 for the years 2018 to 2020.
An alternative calculation would be that over the next 20 years, we will need 18,642 new lawyers just to replace the current members leaving practice due to age. That is an average of 932 per year.
Another study established that Michigan experienced its heaviest periods of bar admissions in the years between 1975 and 1994. In that twenty-year period, new admissions by examination totaled 22,409, with 11,746 in the first ten-year period and 10,663 in the second. The first of these increased admissions reaches its 40th anniversary in 2015. Given that the average age of lawyers passing the bar is approximately 27, heavy retirement numbers can be expected from this group. Needed replacements will average 1,175 for the first ten years and 1,066 for the second ten years. On average over the twenty years after 2015, Michigan will need 1,120 new lawyers to replace those admitted in between 1974 and 1994.
More Lawyers Are Leaving the Practice Than the Schools Produce
Under either alternative, more lawyers will be leaving active practice than the schools currently produce or have produced over the past fifteen years. The aging Michigan lawyer population leaves a legacy of jobs for those about to enter law school. The opportunities are widespread with 65 of Michigan's 83 counties showing a lawyer population of 50 years or older that is above the state average, and with 55 of the counties having 60% or more of their lawyers who are at least 50 years old.
Contrary to the assertion that there are too many lawyers because the law schools are now producing too many graduates, and consistent with the fact that new admissions by examination in Michigan have declined significantly throughout the past fifteen years, Michigan's active resident lawyer population consists of lawyers who are 40 and over and is dominated by those who are 50 or older. The current Michigan resident member population includes only 21.8% who are under 40 years of age, and those under 30 are only 4.6% of the Michigan lawyers. Even in the counties with law schools, the percentage of lawyers under 40 is low: Ingham with two law schools is at 25.0%, Kent with one law school is at 24.8%, Oakland with one law school is 22.7%, Washtenaw with two law schools is at 19.6%, and Wayne with two law schools is at 22.6%.
These demographics, and others to be discussed in later blog posts, portend job growth for lawyers in Michigan.

Shortage of Lawyers In Michigan Predicted
Does a Shortage of Lawyers Loom?
Second of a Two-Part Series
Given all the gloom, doom, and negativity that inhabits the blogs and to a lesser extent the mainstream media, it seems curious that someone might assert that there is a possibility that there will be too few lawyers in the years ahead. But, at least in Michigan, there will be.
This conclusion is based on Michigan bar admission data reported by the National Conference of Bar Examiners in its annual publication The Bar Examiner, which each year includes a comprehensive and detailed summary of national bar admissions data.
The Premises for This Analysis
No attempt has yet been made to consider the same proposition in the national context, nor is any effort made to fit the data into any economic analysis. The focus is strictly demographic and specific, reviewing the number of lawyers admitted to practice by examination in Michigan since 1967. The major premise is simple: all lawyers admitted to practice eventually quit, retire, or die. When they do, they at least presumptively create a job vacancy.
This analysis also relies on a second premise: that the typical lawyer will have a career lasting about 40 years after admission to the bar.
Bar Admissions Not Keeping Up With Pace From 40 Years Ago
The great majority of students entering law school in the fall of 2012 will graduate and seek employment in 2015 or later (a substantial number will attend part-time and take more than three years to graduate). Assuming a 40-year career following admission, each annual cohort will replace the cohort admitted to practice 40 years earlier. Thus, those in admitted in 2015 replace those admitted in 1975, those in 2016 replace those in 1976, and so forth. The tables found below review Michigan's historic annual admissions to practice by examination, the method of admission that accounts for nearly all admission of each year's recent graduates to the Michigan bar.
Table I shows admissions for the 10-year period from 1975 to 1984, the decade at the start of a 40-year cycle. For this initial 10-year period, annual admissions by examination in Michigan averaged 1,175 per year. For purposes of comparison to current numbers, Table I also includes the admissions for the most recent ten years for which reports are available, 2001-2010. Michigan admissions by examination for the most recent years averaged 936 or 239 per year fewer admissions per year than the average for the ten years from 1975 to 1984. Those admitted in the10-year cycle from 1975 to 1984 will be replaced by the cycle that begins with admissions to practice in 2015 and ends in 2024. Thus, if the current pattern continues, significantly more lawyers will be leaving than are being admitted.
Table II shows that the pace of admissions by examination fell to an annual average of 1,066 in the second 10-year period, declining by an annual average of 109 per year between 1985 and 1994 compared to 1975 to 1984. The average annual admission of 1,066 in this 10-year period is 130 fewer than were admitted on average in the past ten years (2001 to 2010).
Table III shows that the pace of annual admissions fell to 935 in the third 10-year period in this replacement cycle, which ran from 1995 to 2004. Admissions fell by 131 per year, compared to the 10-year cycle from 1985 to 1994. And this 10-year period averaged 240 fewer admissions to practice than the average in the first 10-year period from 1975 to 1984.
Table IV shows the partial results for the final 10 years of the 40-year cycle beginning in 1975. For the first five years of this cycle, annual admissions rose to 992, an increase of 57 per year over the 1995-2004 period, but still well below the averages during the first three 10-year cycles. The admissions for each of the final four years of the 2005 to 2014 cycle are based on estimates. The 2011 estimate is based on the number of known Michigan bar passers. The estimates for 2012 and 2013 bar admissions are based on an analysis of law school admissions for the relevant years. An additional estimate for 2014 is needed, since the official number of admissions at the law schools is not available. Based on these estimates, Michigan admissions by examination will be relatively flat for years 2012 and 2013, and will fall significantly in 2014. The estimated average for this 10-year period will be about 993 new admissions by examination, about 182 per year below the first 10-year period in 1975 to 1984.
Data from The Bar Examiner also shows that from 1967 to 1971, Michigan admissions to practice by examination began to grow, increasing from 589 to 641 or 8.8% during that time. The growth trend sharpened between 1971 and 1974, when admissions reached 929, a further increase of 45%. In 1973, the annual admission actually got to 1,018, presaging further future increases.
Between 1974 and 1985, Michigan admissions experienced their strongest growth, increasing by 330 to1,259 or 36%, including a record 1,279 in 1979. In the 25 years since 1985, annual admissions have exceeded 1,100 only three times, only once in the 1980s, once in the 1990s, and once in the past ten years. As the tables show, the first ten years of this 40-year cycle experienced the highest annual average of admissions to practice by examination.
Improved Employment Opportunities for New Lawyers in Michigan
At least in Michigan, the assertion that law schools are now flooding the lawyer employment market is considerably off-base. Indeed, to the contrary, the pace of admissions by examination in the past 15 years was significantly below the pace of the previous twenty years. It appears that in 2015 we will begin to face a sustained period where the number of new admissions will not equal its counterpart in the 40-year admissions cycle. That will mean improved employment opportunities by then and portends that Michigan will indeed have an increasing shortage of lawyers over the next fifteen to twenty years. That conclusion is consistent with the recent report of the State Bar of Michigan, which recently reported that 55.6% of Michigan's resident active bar membership is aged 50 years or more, including 29.6% who are 60 or older.

Michelle Zurcher is a student in Cooley's Australia Study Abroad Program. This is her first posting from Down Under.
Michelle Zurcher Arrives in Australia
I'm sitting in the classroom where Cooley Professor John Marks just taught the Equities and Remedies class in our 5th week here. Don't worry though — Professor Marks has Tim Tams for all the students to try for the "breakfast of champions" this morning. This short chocolate bar melts in your mouth with a crunch of chocolate wafers in between.
Australia is quite a unique place that has a touch of the European and American feel, yet it's definitely its own distinct country. If you've never been Down Under, here are a few things to know:
B. Y. O…
1. Band aids. They're expensive and fall off if you buy them in AU.
2. Contact solution. It's 3x the price here ($13.99 vs. $42.00).
3. Zip Lock bags. For food or fun (so your shampoo in your luggage doesn't leak).
4. Facial soap, make up, and so on. It's either too expensive or they don't have what we are familiar with here.
5. Razors because of how expensive they are. My theory is that half of the people have such close European ties that they don't shave, so Aussies have to make up that lost cash with those who do shave.
6. Shampoo. Try $50 for a big bottle of Matrix. If you bring your own, then you have all that extra room for souvenirs on your way home when you leave your empty bottle of shampoo in AU.
7. Clothes. Don't plan to buy any new clothes because all the clothing here is very high priced and lower quality.
8. Q-Tips. I appreciate America so much more for this one item.
9. Pillow because it's a long flight.
10. Winter clothes even in their summer. Melbourne has a 4-season climate that can occur all in the same day.
11. Bank of America Credit Card. There is a sister bank called West Pac in AU that doesn't charge you fees for withdrawing cash from their bank.
Don't bring…
1. Body wash soap. You can buy it dirt cheap here.
2. All of your best friends. Make new ones, grow from new experiences, and blossom from meeting new people. P.S.: I have met more people from other countries than people from AU.
Know these terms:
1. Tomato Sauce. Apparently Aussies don't know what Ketchup is.
2. Gherkin. If you're making deviled eggs and need pickle relish, you'll be getting an eyebrow raised by the grocery store employee if you ask for relish.
3. Mate. That's a friend, not someone married to someone else.
4. Target, Big W, and K-Mart. They're not the same stores your mother shops in America.
5. Homework. Yes you have homework in AU, even though it can feel like you're on a vacation.

Razer's Blade Stealth was originally placed as a tiny laptop that could dock with an eGPU for serious gaming, but it's become a dark horse ultraportable in its own right. Now it's a pink horse.
The gaming brand has been offering pink versions of many of its products for the last couple of years, slowly expanding the "quartz" color option throughout its lineup. Now that option extends to most of its accessories, and for the first time, a Blade laptop. Specifically the newest revision of the Blade 13 Stealth, packing 8th-gen Core i7 processors and an option for a light-duty GeForce MX150 GPU upgrade.
The redesigned laptop has those oh-so-stylish ultrathin screen bezels and a more blocky aluminum look, very much in line with the more powerful Blade laptops. You can still connect it to the Razer Core X GPU enclosure for a desktop-class graphics boost, and it lasts for 13 hours on a charge. Screens start at 1080p, though a 4K touchscreen is available too. And don't worry, you can also get it in black.
The Quartz Pink edition is listed by Razer as "limited quantity"—though review units seem to have made the rounds, it's actually not showing up on Razer's online store at the time of writing. Other new members of the pink procession include the Basilisk mouse, Hunstman mechanical keyboard, Seiren X microphone, and Goliathus Extended Chroma RGB mousepad. Those who buy the pink Kraken headset can even add on some Quartz Pink cat ears to really nail the cutesy aesthetic.
The new Blade Stealth 13 starts at $1400 with an i7 processor, 256GB of storage, 8GB of RAM, and an integrated GPU. The highest configuration, which adds a 4K touchscreen, a GeForce MX150 GPU, and doubles storage and RAM, is a surprisingly reasonable $1900.

Q: How to store functions in json (or other way) and parse them in swift? I am building an app where a user can solve 30+ different math problems. Each problem has a set of random generated variables (nums) and has its own unique formula to calculate the correct result.
I am planning to use json to store these 30+ different math tasks. My question is the following:
Is there any way to store functions in json (even as string) and then decode them as functions in swift? I need it to avoid typing 30+ functions directly in swift file.
Or maybe there is a better way to store data and functions for my app and I just do not know about it.
Please find below JSON with one problem as an example.
Each element from nums is generated randomly in swift within the range [minValue...maxValue]. After that I use nums to calculate the correct result. In this case formula will be
nums[0].value*(1+nums[1].value)^nums[2].value

Former D&GRW depot. The Denver and Rio Grande Railroad arrived in Alamosa on July 4, 1878. The 1893 wood depot that burned in 1907. The current depot replaced it in 1908 with a buff-colored brick building with red tile hipped roof in the Spanish architecture of the time. On the National Register of Historic Places, the exterior remains much like the original, except a 1930 extension created an L-shaped building; plus the 2009 interior renovations now accommodate both ticketing/boarding for the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad and the Colorado Welcome Center, where visitors can obtain maps, travel information, and tourist info. Rides on the Scenic Railroad are east to La Veta or south to Antonito and the Cumbres & Toltec rr. These 154 miles of former D&RG lines now operate as the San Luis & Rio Grande rr (established in 2003 by Rail America / now Permian Basin Railways). Through the 1930's, D&RG was a mainline railroad and a major junction; but with decreasing rail travel by the 1950's the depot was sold to the County. A division headquarters with extensive railroad yards, a large roundhouse and shops, the D&RG narrow-gauge routes had interconnected with standard gauge at the yards. Cargo included supplies and building materials and mining equipment for the burgeoning regional economy plus shipments out of crops of the San Luis valley, gold and silver ore originating from Silverton, Creede, Summitville, etc. and timber harvested from the San Juan Mountains and New Mexico.
-Update Jan 2008, the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad has acquired two more steam locomotives. One is planned to be in operation in 2008 on the line, the other is scheduled for 2009. They have also acquired five scenic Dome Cars. Check their site for more information. The 2008 Season begins May 24 and continues through Oct 19th. Steam Engines leave Alamosa daily for the picturesque town of La Veta and cross the 9,242 foot La Veta Pass.

On May 21, 2004 my dad steamed up his engine for his first run around his own railroad. On the 22nd we joined him for some fun. The engine is a 1904 Cagney that originally was built for the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. That year they used miniature steam railroads to shuffle attendees around the large fair grounds. When my dad got it, it was in pretty rough shape. 7 short years later you can see the results. He hasn't come up with a name for his railroad yet so I will use this one until he does. You will also find an inordinate amount of pictures but since it is my website I guess I can get away with it.

The Denver & Rio Grande Railroad reached Del Norte in 1881. The original 1881 wood depot was replaced in 1911 and it remained in use until 1970 when it became the town's government offices. Del Norte was incorporated in 1872 and became the county seat in 1874. It served as the shipping point for freight generated by the regional mines at Summitville and Creede. The D&RG eventually reached Creede, but those unprofitable operations were cut back to Del Norte by 1889. Ore continued to be hauled intermittently until 1985 when the last Creede mine closed. UP continued the "Creede Local" service until the sawmill at South Fork ended operations in 2002. The South Fork-Creede segment to be abandoned by UP in January 1999, was purchased by the D&RGHF. It currently operates as the "Wagon Wheel Gap Route" out of South Fork. The remaining segment between South Fork back east to Alamosa was sold in 2003 to the San Luis & Rio Grande rr (Permian Basin Rwy. holding company).

That station belonged the Denver, Utah & Pacific Railroad. This line was Moffat's first attempt to build a line due west out of Denver. It has kind of an odd history as the "Branch Line" from Denver to Lyons was built first and the main line from Hallack Jct (about 100th and Wadsworth Blvd) to Salt Lake City via (get this) Rollins Pass, Granby, and Rangely, Colo. The line was surveyed but never built. Their proposed main line missed Grand Junction completely. The DU&P was purchased by the CB&Q and Standard gauged using he old roadbed of the UP subsidiary the Denver, Western & Pacific Railroad from Burns Junction (just west of Broomfied) via Lafayette, Erie and Idaho Creek into Longmont. This depot was also used for many years by the CB&Q as a freight office which is why it survived so long. I remember rattling by it when I was about 18 when a friend of mine (who was a CB&Q engineer) took me for a ride on the "Buckwheat Branch", which is what the branch to Lyons was known as. The depot was still being used by the CB&Q then for MOW.

Palmer Lake is where the D&RG and the Santa Fe used to squeeze through the narrow valley on their way to Denver from Colorado Springs via 2 separate lines. Later this became one of the most infamous segments of shared trackage after court ordered rail sharing. The former Santa Fe line south of here into the Springs has been converted into a bike/hiking trail. North the 2 lines still are separate. Here they combine for the rest of the trip into the Springs and provide for some great train watching.
Reatuarant with numerous displays, photos, and articles about railroading in Colorado and the Palmer Lake area. Many artifacts and even toy trains adorn the walls.
D&RGW caboose along with a wig-wag and semaphore are on display. The depot style building houses the Denver & New Orleans Railroad Club.

The Ridgway Railroad Museum is a non-profit, member supported organization whose mission is to explain and interpret the role and significance of railroads in the history of this region by use of exhibits, a reference library, educational programs, publications and sharing information with historical and modeling groups. The Museum preserves railroad equipment, artifacts, historical data, books, and photographs of Ouray County and the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. We currently have on display on our 600 feet of Narrow gauge trackage an operational replica of RGS Motor No. 1, as well as the following restored D&RGW equipment: caboose 0575, drop bottom gondola No. 702, Stock car 5574, box car 3130 and water service car 04914. We are also doing an operational restoration of RGS Goose No. 4.
Former Santa Fe depot now serves as a visitor's center.
The Moffat Tunnel was built over 4 years to penetrate the Continental Divide and allow the Rollins Pass, which was intended to last a few years but endured 24 years, to be abandoned. It is 6.2 miles long and is now managed by the Union Pacific.
The former D&RGW hospital in Salida is one of the last remaining railroad structures in town. It has been restored and how is used as city hall.
The D&RGW water tower has been preserved and funds are being sought to continue its restoration. There are a few buildings that appear to be a freight depot and some other building, not sure but color and appearance indicate railroad use.
The former Santa Fe depot in Sedalia is now a private residence but viewable from the road.
The Rock Island depot has been relocated to just a block off I-70 on the west side of the street. It looks like someone attempted a cafe venture but was not successful. There is a mobile home right in front of it which might explain its failure since it is difficult to see.

Silverton Northern Railbus on display at museum. Silverton Northern caboose #17 is on display in Old Town Square on 13th street. Other railroad related sites throughout the town.
In the 1880's, the Denver and Rio Grande Railway was building at a torrid pace throughout Colorado. One of the most beautiful areas was on the headwaters of the Rio Grande River at a mountain pass known as Wagon Wheel Gap. Hot springs in this area, as well as the cool summers at its 8,500 foot elevation, made it a perfect resort area for the friends and guests of General William Jackson Palmer, then President of the D&RGRR. A rail line was extended to this spot from the end of the line in Del Norte. With mining demands high, the line was extended to the mountain mining town of Creede a few years later. This line was active through 1985 when the last few cars of ore were carried out. The line that carried hundreds of thousands of passengers and millions of dollars worth of silver ore fell quiet. Until the spring of 2000 when the Denver & Rio Grande Historical Foundation purchased this 21.6 mile line of scenic mountain meadows, rivers and 1,000 foot cliffs. This area is well known for its scenic vistas, historic towns and mines, fishing, hunting and just a wonderful get-away-from-it-all place. Reservations to ride on this historic line during the 2009 season may be placed through the Denver & Rio Grande Railway Historical Foundation at the number listed above! The depot from Hooper was moved to South Fork and has been restored to service for the line after spending nearly 50 years near Center, CO.
The Rio Grande water tower in South Fork has been nicely maintained and painted in original colors.

The UP depot in Sterling has been moved to Front St. and is used as Chamber of Commerce. It is a very nice building and is well maintained.
The UP depot in Strasburg has been moved about a half mile west and is part of the Commanche Crossing Museum in Strasburg. Strasburg is where the Kansas Pacific crews working from Denver met those working west from the state line. The line was the original trans-continental railroad as the Cheyenne line as yet had no bridge route across the Mississippi. UP caboose 24522 is on display. The Uhrich Locomotive works is also nearby.

Downtown Trinidad has innumerable Southwest Style architectural style buildings.
Former D&RGW depot now serves as shops for city maintenance.
The Florence & Cripple Creek railroad was the first railroad to reach the rich gold fields of Victor and Cripple Creek. It was a narrow gauge line that ran down Phantom Canyon to Florence near Canon City. Alta Vista was the last town on the line before arriving in Victor. The depot has since been moved to Victor. Thanks to the Victor Trading Co. for providing a history of the station.
Location: HALFWAY FROM VICTOR TO FLORENCE ON HWY67.
I don't put many bridges on my site but this is the sole remaining bridge on the route from Florence to Victor 7 Cripple Creek. It showed Fresh decking in 2006 and new paint and is the actual highway (dirt road) bridge.

Former CB&Q depot is still standing.


As a digital agency, this is possibly the most difficult balance to strike. Does the campaign revolve entirely around simply achieving objectives to minimum cost, or is it about cementing your status as an original, creative team with quality ideas?
The best creative ideas come from understanding the task at hand. For example, we offer clients a Messaging Workshop session. We work through a structured format that enables us and you to really understand what makes the brand tick and what is important to home in on. From the Messaging Bible we then put together, we can then think artistically about what would be effective for a brand.
On that note, the importance of getting the messaging tone right cannot be stressed enough. In this regard, strategic thinking wins hands down. It is imperative to plan exactly the manner in which the brand is to communicate with their audience. This can only come from research, planning and making sure everyone internally is aligned to the same brand tone.
Luc Wise, Co-Founder of Herezie, feels that marketing planners should see themselves as "synthesizers". Data should be collated from clients and transcribed in a simple message to be used creatively at the other side of that transcript. That is the absolute essence of our workshop: crystallising what a brands core theme is.
By approaching it methodically initially, you can then be completely assured that your ideas will be watertight, because their origins are from very strong foundations.
The other part of strategy vs creativity is the ability to achieve objectives set out by the agency and the client. It may be cool and modern to join platforms like Snapchat and Instagram, but analysis needs to first be done into whether or not they are right for the client.
Even brands who appear reactive and seem to jump on bandwagons quickly will have done their homework about the benefit to them of extending their brand to a particular platform. Is their audience a prolific user? Is there an unusually high engagement and conversion rates with content there? Do you have the structure in place to support regular engagement across all of your social channels? Will you be spreading yourself too thin by committing yourselves to yet another channel? If you have positive answers to all these, then it may well be worth the plunge. Even so, it's vital not to rush into generating buckets of content for a platform you don't know much about yet.
Set the stall out early – recognise some clear aims & objectives for a new project and work back from there. Think about creative ways to solve the problem, rather than just what appears the most innovative.
Some people are just more creative than others, whilst others have a head for strategy instead. Both are just as brilliant. A good agency will employ both kinds of people and apply them all to a project. To paraphrase an old saying – the thinkers keep the dreamers' heads from staying in the clouds, whilst the dreamers make sure the thinkers actually get off the ground. The best creative strategies and projects will have input from both sides to ensure maximum output.
When planning a campaign, it's vital to think about collecting as much data as possible, allowing you a crucial insight into your audience and to steer future projects. It also allows you to be reactionary along the way - if the data shows something isn't quite working, you can address any issues as they arise, allowing you optimum ROI.
This understanding will prove invaluable when scoping future projects. Analytics tools – even something as simple as Google Analytics – can help form a more in-depth strategy that is based on relevant and up-to-date data. Without any tracking, it's very difficult to understand the basics; what kind of social media content is most popular, where your web traffic is coming from or your audience's demographics.
In summary, strategic thinking means that every action carried out will be for a specific purpose. It allows agencies to future-proof a project by planning eventualities and creating objectives. However, the trick is to not simultaneously stifle creative ideas that work in sync with the strategy. Allow enough room and opportunity for ideas to come to fruition naturally and weave them into the overarching approach.


October 14, 2016 children, events, holiday.
Halloween can be one of those tough holidays for children with food allergies or diabetes.
This orange plastic pumpkin filled with candy presents a problem for kids with food allergies.
Encourage neighbors to stock non-food items in their trick-or-treat basket, such as glow bracelets, stickers, tattoos, noise makers, bouncy balls.
Put a sticker on your child that says "non-food items only." That way you don't have to explain at every door why you can't take the candy.
Place a sign on your door that reads "Non-food items available here." Or paint a pumpkin teal. The Food Allergy Research & Education group created the Teal Pumpkin project to represent that you are food-allergy friendly by having non-food treats at your house. You can download a Teal Pumpkin sign here.
Take the candy if you don't want to be impolite, but take it to an orthodontist participating in the Halloween Candy Buy Back program. I searched my ZIP code and found three locations nearby.
There are a lot of great things happening in the world of food allergies. 'Specially for Children, which is affiliated with Dell Children's Medical Center of Central Texas, just became a FARE site. This means that kids who are at 'Specially for Children can participate in research studies, like the peanut allergy study that is going on right now.
Have approved snacks at school for the teacher to give out if there is a cupcake day.
Educate the teacher and the classes' parents about why your child can't have the cupcake and offer parents solutions of what they could bring for your child.
Empower kids to be their own advocate and understand what they can and cannot have.

4.6 1 Park Lane
This is not an exhaustive list of Kindred-relevant locations, but these are certainly some of the most trafficked.
The Bathhouse
Located at the very bottom of Queens is The Jacob Riis Bathhouse, part of the park and beach under the same name. Once a luxurious and symbolic building, built in 1932, it was meant to cater democratic equality among the classes, today the art deco marvel sits empty. In the 1990's ownership was transferred to the federal Gateway National Recreation organization who planned on completely renovating the site. But after $20 million in restoration, funding dried up and the bath house was left abandoned. The windows were boarded up and the bath house started to be covered by sand dunes and weeds. In addition to the ravages of time, Hurricanes Irene and Sandy devastated the area. With vast open rooms and access to the ocean it makes an ideal location for Acolytes to perform rituals and serve their covens and covenant alike.
The Iroquois Hotel
Formerly operated by Caroline Banks, now bequeathed to Arthur Wayland by Prince Natasha, the 13th floor is a dedicated Kindred Elysium, hosting a variety of rooms. A lounge for casual meet ups, a large hall for court, private conference rooms for smaller meetings, and 20 guest rooms for Kindred in need of a place to sleep for the day. None of these are free of course, but one can rest assured that no sunlight will reach them and no mortal will happen upon an undead corpse.
Use of Disciplines and Devotions inside Elysium is prohibited.
The Elysium is for Kindred and Ghouled only. Thralled mortals may only visit the bar on the first floor.
Court is regularly held here in the large hall.
The Parasol Gallery
The Parasol Gallery Owned by Rhett Townsend Parasol is said to be one of the most impressive collections on the East Coast with a mixture of historical pieces and newly featured artists. Mr. Townsend himself is well known among the Art Community as a connoisseur of darker materials in all mediums, traveling near and far to seek them out and purchase them.
Catering to the tastes of the dark art lover, Parasol is a macabre gallery of varied mediums. While mostly paintings, there are drawings, and also a few statues.
Rhett can be reached in his office. The front doors are still locked so appointments must be made.
Some of the pieces are for sale and will be marked as such. The gallery is also happily always looking for more artists.
Hamburg Ruins
Oggie Pryor
Bought by Duchess Natasha Arroyo after a lengthy acquisitions process accomplished by her ghouls, Imani Hakim and Oggie Pryor, the Hamburg Paper Mill Ruins, or simply the Hamburg Ruins were once the site of (surprise) a paper mill in Hamburg, New Jersey.
Completed in 1874 along the Wallkill River, the paper mill flourished as an industry creating tissue paper to pack fruit. The river was dammed, creating power for the mill, which was located close to the railroad so products could easily be shipped. The mill met its demise after multiple fires and persistent flooding in the area. The large iron wheel that probably powered the mill is still nestled on the property.
Now, it has been fully repurposed as an Elysium and the base of Kindred operations inside the nascent Domain territory of Jersey City.
Only Kindred and Ghouls are permitted on the grounds.
Court is regularly held here in a large central hall.
By 1966, changing technologies, especially containerized cargo, had made this whole facility – and especially its atrium – obsolete. That year the Army Terminal was decommissioned, though it limped along with a few federal agencies continuing to occupy its cavernous spaces. In 1981, the complex was sold to New York City, and it is now a abandoned industrial park. The sub levels of which have been taken over by Pepper Morrison. Nicknamed "The Hub" or sometimes "The Server" it's sub levels act as a giant computer space where she sets up watch over the City's Social Media and News feeds. Outside of the office, there are other rooms used for various needs among the Covenant, and plenty left open and ready for use. Should Firebrands find themselves in dire straights they are welcome to slumber here, but its not recommended for a permanent residence.
The architectural highlight of the enormous Brooklyn Army Terminal is the central atrium of Building B, a space that looks unlike anything you will find in a modern warehouse or factory.
The complex is made up of two nearly-identical main buildings, the primary difference between the two is Building B's central atrium. Freight trains could drive directly into the building and unload their cargo onto the loading docks. Two 5-ton traveling electric cranes spanned overhead, each able to move the width and length of the space on a track. Each could lower a cable that would then be attached to items unloaded from the trains. The offset balconies were designed so that this overhead crane can deposit cargo in each level and each sector of the building. Once deposited into the warehouse, cargo could be moved through the buildings by means of a network of connecting skybridges, and eventually moved down onto three enormous waterfront piers and loaded onto ships.
Verboten
One of the crown jewel nightclubs in New York and operated by Duchess Natasha Arroyo, Verboten was originally founded in a former power plant building and is the unofficial capital of the underground music scene on the eastern seaboard of the US.
Doors to its mundane areas, separate from its Kindred ones, are continuously open to the public from Friday night until Monday morning, playing host to a level of debauchery that has become characteristic of the city's nightlife, and it is notoriously difficult to gain access to.
With multiple dance halls and a complex web of VIP lounges, private rooms, rooftop accesses, and a recently-opened arthouse installation in the basement, it offers prominence, privacy, entertainment, respite, and quick meals on tap.
The Elysium sections are for Kindred and Ghouled only.
Court is regularly held here in a large underground hall.
Basement art installation
Rooftop concert series
The Black Lounge
Operated by Duchess Natasha Arroyo, Webster Hall is a 40,000 sq ft nightclub and concert venue located in the East Village. It serves as a nightclub, concert venue and corporate events center. With six unique environments and a 1500 capacity performance hall on the second floor, Webster Hall routinely hosts some of the most celebrated nightlife and music in the world.

Marlin Room
Persephone Laboratories
Persephone Laboratories is managed by it's CEO Moira Reverie and CTO Alexis Donovan. The best-in-class facility takes private research and federal contracts, attracting some of the top technicians in the United States. The building exterior is the height of modern brutalism surrounded by lush greenery, creating the feeling of secrecy and seclusion.
The lab provides exclusive services for the Kindred of New York by accepting 'Special Projects'. Persephone can provide private suites for sensitive research or access to chemicals and components that are difficult to obtain without scrutiny. The Office of the Sheriff receives these services free of charge when serving the City.

Bleeding Edge Solutions
World Class Equipment
Church of the Good Shepherd is an Anglican/Episcopal Parish of the Diocese of New York and has been in existence for 100 years, since its inception as a preaching station on a Sunday in November, 1909.. It is a culturally-diverse and multigenerational congregation. We are a beacon of God's love and compassion, striving to spread the Gospel beyond the doors of our Church.
Underneath it is a Lancea et Sanctum sanctuary formerly run by Daniel Graham, that was open to all Kindred save the Crones. Now it is in the hands of the loyal remnants of the Lancea, particularly Mama Jackie.
1 Park Lane
Located in Upper Manhattan, 1 Park Lane is the fourth largest skyscraper in the city; the crown jewel of the newly renovated Park Lane that was restored and updated after the last earthquake. A central tower alternates between commercial, professional, and residential units; some professional and commerical businesses sharing the same floor towards great efficiency and residential units mixed in among amenities such as a library, pools, a spa, and restaurants, and so on. The outside is open air gardens, designed to make the building a 'vertical urban forest', though many of the residents and businesses use the space for their own gardens. The flora has done well there, which designers partially attribute to the symbiotic relationship with harmless mites that remove the need for pesticides and a carefully formulated and maintained soil.
With the rest of Park Lane, 1 Park Lane has all the latest technological amenities one can imagine; from smart controls, to bleeding edge internet speeds, potent but invisible security, modular electrical grids, electro chromatic and smart glass integration, and so on. 1 Park Lane caters to the high end: professionals or gig workers looking for state of the art offices; the wealthy elite who want a modern home; or successful professionals that benefit from a closely connected network.
1 Park Lane opened at full capacity, and it has a tremendous wait list since its opening. Those who are in the know will eventually come across a phone number connected to Quinn Martin.
For those in the know, 1 Park Lane has a strong resonance of symbiosis, with smaller resonances of creation and collaboration. This is also known as the "Plover Nest" among Ordo Dracul aware of the Wyrm's Nest.

Q: To attach an image to an email on a html button click I have created a html button in my webpage, which can take screenshot of the screen and save it as an image. For that I used the following code.
<button class="btn btn-default btn-sm" style="margin:0px 0px -10px 970px;  padding:2px 4px 1px 4px" onclick="genScreenshot()"></button>

Now, I want to attach this image to an outlook new mail after it gets downloaded (i.e., in one click it should download the screenshot and also attach it to the mail).
Is there a way to do it?
And if so, Please explain me clearly. I dont understand hard concepts. So, please explain it in layman terms.

A: Once you have the file, you can send it with a mailto link. Take a look here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/HTML/Email_links
Probably best as a base64 encoded img element embedded in the email.


Arriving to find a delivery note jammed in the door frame for gas that had been delivered three weeks ago, and a freezing house with the boiler waiting to be reset, was not the best of starts. It took days for the fabric of the house to warm up, not comfortable with cold furniture, floors, cold everything. Somebody had been in to leave milk etc so surely must have noticed that even in February it was warmer outdoors than indoors. The showers had to be cleaned before use, black mould evident in one of them, and pretty much everything in the kitchen was sticky which suggests somebody is clueless when it comes to cleaning. A potentially nice modern & comfortable cottage let down by poor servicing.
Thank you for your feedback. It is unfortunate you didn't use the phone numbers provided as in the rare occurrence the boiler blows out the house can be warmed up quickly if the thermostat and radiators are set correctly and the multi-fuel burner is lit. The small area of mould has been immediately remedied and please be assured that the kitchen is not sticky – the worktops have a protective coating on them. Both the owners and the caretaker will continue to work hard to maintain the 5 star rating that they have had for four consecutive years now.
We had a fantastic weekend. The cottage was beautiful in every way and Skye was just stunning.
Lovely cottage in a peaceful area. Weather not great but cottage had everything we needed to have a relaxing time.
Very well appointed, comfortable and clean. Great location; local bar/restaurant within a minute on foot.

For the last two nights my 2 year old started waking up again and is not wanting to go back to sleep. I have no Idea what to do about this. Along with him not sleeping, by the time he falls asleep Luke wakes up and is not wanting to sleep! With Luke this is expected. After all he is only 5 mths old. But what do I do about Nolan?? I'm not sure what to do! He is not wanting to sleep and the not sleeping is starting to catch up to me.
I got a little Scrap-Booking done.
Just found your blog. Bless your heart!!!! I SOOO feel your sleep issue! My boys both were trying when it came to sleep. Throw the five month old in a pack-n-play in your room maybe, until the two year old is over this hurdle. With my two year old, I just go in and in a kind, but firm voice, I say, " It's not time to get up. It's night, night. Mommy loves you, but you have to go back to sleep." Lay him down, cover him up, pat his bottom and walk out. (Sounds easy, but I know it doesn't work like that!) Eventually, though, my buddy got the hint, even if he had to cry a while. I made sure he had a sippy cup of water, white noise, and a night light. It is better now, but he still wakes up at 5:30 every morning. UGH! It's always something! But, don't worry sweet Momma… I never thought my first son would be a good sleeper consistently, but he's eight now and it is fine and dandy! It will pass. Just hang in there! Nap during the day. Sleep deprivation is a killer. My heart is with you!!!!
It always nice to hear when other people have gone through the same thing and made it out alive.. lol Im sure it will pass. I think its because we started potty training and he is waking up to a wet dipper and not liking it! Which I guess is a good thing.
You're right! And I went to my friends house tonight who has four kids and she said, "You think he's getting his two-year molars?" I was like, "Well, he has been putting his fingers in his mouth again, his head is sweaty, and he's extra fussy." I looked inside his mouth and sure enough, there are molars poking through! Poor baby! He's been in pain, and I haven't even thought of that! Maybe your little man is getting his!
He has already gotten his. But for reasons like that I thank God I have other moms that I can ask about.

Q Poll: Ned And Dick Lead By 15 Points
October 25, 2022 LennieGrimaldi National Politics, News and Events, State PoliticsNo Comments
The needle hasn't moved for Republican Bob Stefanowski with two weeks remaining to election day. The latest Q Poll reflects results of other samplings giving Governor Ned Lamont a 15 point lead. Same For U.S. Senator Dick Blumenthal over Trumper Leora Levy.
From the Q Poll:
Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont maintains a double-digit lead over his Republican challenger Bob Stefanowski 56 – 41 percent in the race for governor, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pea-ack) University poll of likely voters in Connecticut released today.
This is essentially unchanged from a September 21st Quinnipiac University poll when Lamont led Stefanowski 57 – 40 percent.
There is a wide gender gap. Women support Lamont 64 – 33 percent. Among men, 51 percent support Stefanowski, while 46 percent support Lamont.
Roughly 6 in 10 likely voters (57 percent) have a favorable opinion of Lamont, while 36 percent have an unfavorable opinion of him.
Nearly 4 in 10 likely voters (39 percent) have a favorable opinion of Stefanowski, while 42 percent have an unfavorable opinion of him, and 17 percent say they haven't heard enough about him.
"Governor Lamont appears to be in a stronger position facing Republican challenger Bob Stefanowski than he was back in 2018 when they were locked in a tight race. Then, Lamont won by 3 points. This time around, he's looking at a double-digit lead and the first gubernatorial race since 2006 that hasn't been close," said Quinnipiac University Poll Director Doug Schwartz.
SENATE RACE
As Senator Richard Blumenthal seeks a third term in the U.S. Senate, he leads his Republican challenger Leora Levy 56 – 41 percent. This is largely unchanged from a September 21st Quinnipiac University poll when Blumenthal was ahead of Levy 57 – 40 percent.
