Full History: On the Meaningfulness of Shared Action
Steven G. Smith, Full History: On the Meaningfulness of Shared Action, Bloomsbury, 2017, 245pp., $91.99 (hbk), ISBN 9781474260336.
Reviewed by David Weberman, Central European University
In the mid-20th century, a distinction was made between two types of philosophy of history: i) analytical philosophy of history whose object of study is our knowledge of history and ii) substantive philosophy of history whose object is history itself in its most universal and fundamental features. The first type belongs to epistemology; the second, to metaphysics. Many philosophers at the time reasoned that such universal features, if there are any, can only be empirically ascertained and, consequently, that while the analytic project is legitimate, the substantive philosophical project is bogus. Nowadays such a strict division between the two seems questionable. This book is not clearly on either side of this demarcation line. It is does not focus, as much analytical philosophy of history does, on the writings and epistemic aims of professional historians. In fact, Smith deals at greatest length with authors such as Hegel, Sartre and Foucault. But its discussion is not metaphysical either since it concerns our reception of the historical past. It treats history as a field in which epistemological and metaphysical questions do not allow for easy unravelling. For Smith, history is not primarily a matter for scholars, but for the entire lot of us. His book sets its own agenda, not fitting easily into recent philosophical debates.
Smith's agenda is to make sense of and offer insights into various implications of what he calls "full history." He refers to himself as a "history maximalist." What is "history maximalism"? Smith says that it is not "strong historicism" according which the work of science, metaphysics and ethics is taken over by historians (p. ix). Yet it's unlikely that any philosopher embraces that position. What Smith's history maximalism seems to amount to is the view that everything in the past belongs to one single historically meaningful past. Now, if this is history maximalism, one wonders if there is anyone who would disagree with it. And if so, on what grounds? He doesn't make this sufficiently clear. Still, even if the thesis is uncontroversial, it might be underappreciated and worth unpacking. Smith's development of the idea seems to stress that all actions (even all events) depend on and impact all other actions. In this sense, as he formulates it, all actions are "shared." This truth entails that all our present actions are always shaped by the past and have an undeniably historical character.
Smith also has a lot to say about the responsibility which follows from the fact that our actions have consequences and must be seen as part of a larger whole. Everything hangs together in this way; so everything is fundamentally historical and makes a demand on us. Again, I am not sure that anyone would disagree with this kind of history maximalism. It is certainly true that we often forget just how much our lives are shaped by and continuous with the big historical picture. This might be especially true in countries such as the United States which has a mostly recently built environment, which has (fortunately) seen little of the destruction of war on domestic soil and which has offered so many immigrants a kind of escape from history. Perhaps we all need to be reminded of just how thoroughly historically embedded our present lives are. But I'm not sure that arguing for historical maximalism is philosophically necessary unless the grounds for possible opposition to the claim are made clearer. (Smith does argue that history is "real," not, as some have conceived it, "experiential" -- a point I return to below.)
The book's seven chapters deal with seven topics: meaningfulness, ontology, interest, importance, judgment, making history and the march of civilization.
In Chapter 1, Smith asks "what is historical meaningfulness?" He states that by "meaningfulness," he means "both a content of something meant and a power to compel consideration" (p.16). So, it appears to be a hybrid concept that attends to the fact that actions in history are typically undertaken with specific intentions in mind and that such actions are of interest to later generations. The two assumptions are reasonable but leave the main question somewhat directionless. The discussion proceeds by means of working out the idea of full history -- the idea that there is a whole story of what has happened, that is in principle at least knowable and that interests us because we -- who we are and what we do -- are very much connected to this past. Smith argues that this full story does not amount to a single "determinate totality of historical facts" because facts "must always be construed for one purpose among infinitely many." This last claim, unlike some of the other claims in the chapter, is controversial, but it does not receive careful elaboration and defense. Smith goes on to say that historical events are connected either by deriving them from one another (e.g., causally) or by "compounding" them (placing them in larger frameworks). He explains that our purpose with history might be historical, scientific, political, aesthetic, or speculative. His discussion reveals that his conception of meaningfulness comes down to what is interesting to us, or worthwhile for us to think about. Interests can be diverse but are always rooted in the fact that we share a world with the agents of past historical events, directly or indirectly. The chapter ends with a list of ways in which we can fail to engage with history adequately because we focus too one-sidedly on facts or grand theories or values or emotions.
Chapter 2 asks "how is history real?" or, as he also puts it, about "the ontological basis for taking history seriously." This question might lead in any number of directions. Smith launches into a discussion of two opposing views that he calls "archetypalism" and "experientialism." The former, exemplified by Plato, operates with eternal paradigms to which historical events conform. The latter, imputed by Smith, to numerous modern philosophers, is the view that "the very experiencing of things by the subject must be the touchstone of [historical] reality." Unfortunately, his definition of experientialism seems vague. Further, the two views don't seem exclusive since eternally recurrent patterns might be (or always are) experienced or known. At the end of the chapter, he criticizes experientialism because it ignores the practical implications of actions, but it is unclear to me why this is so. Other ontological and epistemological issues in this part of the chapter were not sufficiently well articulated. Rejecting both archetypalism and experientialism, Smith advocates the view that history is fundamentally about shared actions in a shared world. He provides a helpful four-pronged taxonomy of sharedness from minimal to maximal coordination and collaboration. Still, it seemed to me that his view answers a different question from the ones underlying the two views he rejects.
Chapter 3 asks "how is history interesting?" He distinguishes between two types of interestedness: being curious and having a stake in the matter. Being curiously engaged might just be a simple matter of something piquing our interest, but Smith argues that for something to be interesting in a historical manner, it must be a part of the past in a way that amounts to "a claim on the self-identification of active agents" (p.71) He distinguishes between the interest of a layperson, a historian and a philosopher of history. He also argues that these interests open us to three kinds of movements: from parts to whole and vice versa, and expanding the hitherto neglected segments of the past. He provides and discusses three examples of such expansions: natural history, feminist history and the history of sports.
Chapter 4's question "how does history matter?" seemed to me very close to the question of the previous chapter about how history interests us. Smith first deals with the notion of historical importance. His thoughts on importance make importance depend on seeing the connections between things and ultimately on finding a kind of unity in history. This leads him to discuss the question of whether history can and should be "totalized." Following others, he pits Foucault against Sartre, and ends up advocating, reasonably I believe, a position that attempts to allow some reconciliation between the two, recognizing an impulse to unity while allowing for contingencies and discontinuities.
Chapter 5 addresses the question "how is history understandable?", perhaps more clearly formulated by Smith as: "what kind of cognitive gains do we realize and how do these figure into our practical reckoning?" or, in my words, what do we learn from history and how does it bear on our present actions? For Smith, the cognitive gains are "insights" and "judgments." Insights are a "practically concerned 'seeing into' how action was shared as it was, recognizing the real possibilities of action sharing that were actualized and could mutatis mutandis, be shared again." To my mind, this means that insight concerns the specificity of what happened, its impact and implications. By "judgment", he means "a defensible determination of the whole practical meaning of that sharing of action." This is not immediately clear but the discussion shows that "judgment" concerns the lessons to be learned for the sake of future action. He distinguishes between essential and dynamic insights, the latter being about change, the former about constancy. Smith sees history as a field in which there is a practical continuum such that all actions meet up by means of our interest in making things better. He asks whether we can really form good historical judgments so that we can learn our lessons well. His examples of the difficulty in arriving at good historical judgments are well-chosen and interestingly discussed: the prophetic book of Jeremiah and Hannah Arendt on the Nazi Holocaust and the nature of evil. Smith concludes that good historical judgments are indeed possible.
The heading of Chapter 6 is "how can history be made?", but the chapter is more focused on how we can intend to make history in a manner that is reasonable and not self-defeating. His short answer is it that this involves the intention "to choose a course of action for the sake of the contribution it will make to an eventual retrospective meaningfulness of the outcome that will not be inconsistent with its projected meaningfulness." This means we intend to bring about an outcome that, at a future point, will not be at odds with what one originally intended. This seems true enough, as does the fact that there are typically other determinants of outcomes, such as considerable obstacles and unintended consequences. Smith concludes that we are able to act successfully despite all this. He deals with social movements, the difficulty in judging injustice in the light of changing moral codes, and returns to the issue of Sartre and totalization. He then discusses four modes of history making, corresponding to the four modes of sharedness from Chapter 2. He also takes into consideration the fact that humans share history with other non-human and even non-animal entities.
Chapter 7 asks: "how can history have an aim?" Here the question is not about a telos inherent in history independent of human will, but about "the longest term aim that would make the best sense of what we have done" (p. 177). This is an interesting twist on the question, not about what our aim is, but what aim (or aims) best accounts for our actions, retrospectively. Smith cites Thomas Jefferson's notion that the "march of civilization" was displayed geographically as a traveller moved from North America's Western frontier to the Atlantic seaboard. Many others, of course, have asked about "progress" in history. Scepticism is apt, says Smith, not so much because of the horrors of the 20th century, but because of our current over-urbanization and what we are "willing to destroy, abuse and ignore." Generally speaking, Smith says that we aim at the "Best Community," yet there is the worry that we might over-plan matters, thereby closing down possibilities. He identifies three types of meaningful historical aims: utopia, victory and salvation. By utopia, Smith means a state of society, that is desired, "ethical in its logic though not necessarily purely moral." On this point, Smith reminds us that utopian aims need to be grounded in real actions. His notion of victory was less clear to me. Victory is for Smith "encompass[ing] the whole object of practical understanding in a present-centred conception of history." By salvation, he means, "find[ing] an implied aim of history in construal of the past while holding focus on the meaningfulness of really shared action." (pp. 180-181). He suggests that salvation is a matter of extending, preserving or making the best of the past through action in the present so as to redeem the past for the future. Smith gives us some "points of reference" for a best world to which we might inspire, including such values as self-expression, strong relationships with others, more possibilities, less power-inequality, and what he calls "themes of fulfilment", namely, freedom, solidarity and redemption.
In a closing epilogue, he observes that while it is often easy to tell stories about past history, it is much more difficult to navigate the present and future by drawing on events of the past. Still, it is not impossible and it is our task to maintain and act on "a curious, responsible quest of full history."
Smith's Full History is an ambitious and original attempt to penetrate into the deep connections between the historical past, present and future. It draws on a considerable breadth of historical examples and is informed by reasonableness and balance. Still, I found its results limited, for the following reasons. First, the questions are not sharply formulated. Second, the answers or claims made are not always more sharply formulated than the questions. This is demonstrated by the fact that it is often unclear what an opposing answer might be. Third, some of the positions appear to be platitudinous. The book's main point is that we (everyone and everything) are all in this together and need to understand ourselves as belonging to a single realm extended over time. The book provides some insights into this phenomenon. It would have been made more worthwhile if the questions had been more precise and the opposing positions more clearly defined and explicated.

The following JavaEE backend is pretty standard (except of the definition of Application within the resource which is usually done in a seperate class).
This AngularJS2 app is basically a small variation of the (AngularJS2 Quickstart) and only displays the data from the JAX-RS endpoint.

Statement by the Prime Minister of Canada on terrorist attack on Ismailis in Pakistan
Ottawa, Ontario – 13 May 2015 – Prime Minister Stephen Harper today issued the following statement on the terrorist attack on Ismailis in Karachi, Pakistan, that killed many people and injured several more:
"Canada condemns the cowardly terrorist attack on a bus carrying Shi'a Ismaili Muslims in Karachi.
"It is particularly chilling that gunmen opened fire indiscriminately, murdering many Ismailis regardless of their gender or age. It is an affront to everyone who cherishes religious freedom. We urge the Government of Pakistan to bring the perpetrators to justice and to ensure that all religious minorities in the country are protected and their religious freedom guaranteed.
"On behalf of all Canadians, Laureen and I offer our deepest condolences to the families and friends of those who perished in this murderous attack. We also offer our heartfelt prayers that those injured may have a speedy recovery.
"I have worked closely with His Highness the Aga Khan over the years and know first-hand of the peaceful nature of the Shi'a Ismaili community here in Canada and around the world. We mourn with His Highness and the entire Shi'a Ismaili Imamat who have consistently stood for peace, pluralism and religious freedom."

The Islamic State Is Right About Some Things
BY RAZIB KHAN
I've talked about the Yezidis many times over the years. The main reason is that I find the obscure marginal sects in the Middle East interesting, because this is a region of the world where religious pluralism existed under very precise and strict conditions, and these groups deviated from those conditions and lived to tell the tale. The Muslim rulers, and more specifically in historical memory the Ottomans, tolerated a specific set of enumerated dhimmi, generally traditional Christian and Jewish groups. Though subject to persecution and oppression, in principle these groups had rights to exist within the Islamic framework. Heretics and pagans on the other hand were not tolerated. For example I have read the account of from the 17th century of an Ottoman official who was making a progress from Baghdad to Istanbul which is an excellent piece of ethnography. His entourage stopped in an isolated mountain valley in what is today Kurdistan. The local population were not Muslims, and when the official inquired as to their religion they told of how they worshipped the sun. Whatever the details of their origin this group obviously would be classed as pagans, and the official was faced with what to do with these people. The choices were conversion to Islam or death, the implementation of which would have been difficult at that moment. As a solution the local Jacobite Orthodox Christian bishop agreed to accept the people as his own, with nominal baptism. Presumably these people eventually became Christians in fact as well as name. But it goes to show that in the pre-modern world of the Middle East religious diversity persisted in the isolated places of the world. Groups such as the Druze offend Sunni Muslims because they are clearly derived from Islam itself, and Islam is the capstone religion in its own conception. Alawites seem to have emerged from the same milieu as the Druze, but they have retained a tenuous Muslim identity, which has accelerated under the Assad family. The Sunni Muslim stance toward these groups is that they are viewed as illegitimate heresies, not protected religions. The extent of Salafi* influence in one's orientation also conditions how Sunnis view Shia (and there is variation within the Shia group, the Ismailis in particular viewed as heretical because their practice and theology differs more in obvious ways from Sunni orthodoxy; the Zaydi Shia are at the opposite extreme, being very similar to Sunni norms).
All this leads up to why the Islamic State, and Muslims generally to a lesser extent, tend to be extremely harsh in their attitude toward the Yezidi sect. The details of the Yezidi belief system are somewhat obscure, like that of the Druze, but they are clearly not Muslim. The media reports that the Yezidi are an ancient religion, with some relationship to Zoroastrianism. Many Kurds will also agree with this statement, assuming that something like Yezidism was the primal faith of their ethnic group. This may or may not be true. The origins of the Yezidi may actually be more like the Druze, if somewhat more ancient and obscure. Part of the lack of clarity I think goes back to the fact that there is some opaqueness overall in the first century or so of Islam. The social-religious world of the Middle East was a product of those years, but it is very different from them. For example Zoroastrianism and Zoroastrian influenced syncretistic Muslim sects were powerful anti-establishment forces across the Iranian cultural zone down to the 9th century. Quite a few extremist Shia sects (ghulat) seem to have made the transition to post-Islam, often imbibing Zoroastrianism of a Mazdakite flavor. Such a transition though was usually a cultural death sentence. Survival usually depended upon attaching oneself to a Shia identity, however tenuous (the Alawite strategy), or, fleeing to a geographically isolated region (in some cases these sectarians fled to the Byzantine Empire, and converted to Orthodox Christianity rather than revert to normative Islam!). Flight from the world is what the Druze and Yezidi have done in their fastness.
The current capture of Sinjar has been a humanitarian catastrophe for the Yezidi because it has been one of their traditional redoubts. The kidnapping of women, and the summary beheading or crucifixion of men, can be comprehensible in light of the Salafi Muslim vision of groups such as the Yezidi, which literally should not exist. Their obliteration would bring balance back into the Salafi world. While Christians and Jews may persist with the barest of sufferance, the existence of the Yezidi is an abomination to Salafi Muslims. What is occurring is a ethnic cleansing and genocide in straightforward terms. In fact Salafi Muslims would probably agree with the appellation cleansing, because the Yezidi to them are an offence to Being itself. Their existence is a matter is a matter of ritual purity in a metaphysical sense. I am wary of ever making analogies to Nazi Germany and the way it viewed the Jews, but this one clearly is a close fit. There is no path toward accommodation of Yezidi existence for the Islamic State, it is now down to an animal battle of survival for them, as they flee into the mountains as they have done so many times in the past.

Salvation Army center getting closer to opening day
Construction workers start putting up the walls of the coming community center on the grounds of The Salvation Army in El Cajon. The $5.2 million center is expected to be finished by early August.
(Karen Pearlman/San Diego Union-Tribune)
By Karen Pearlman
Reporting from East County —
Humbert Cabrera got choked up watching several nearly 50-foot-tall concrete walls go up last week at The Salvation Army in El Cajon.
A little over one year ago, The Salvation Army started demolishing an old structure on its grounds along East Main Street to make way for a 30,000-square-foot, $5.2 million community center.
It will be twice the size of the former "ugly pink building," as some locals used to refer to it.
With the help of some heavy equipment, construction workers last week tilted up some of the walls of the center.
Cabrera was among a crowd of about 100 people there to watch the wall-raising.
"We've had a vision to parlay this into something worthwhile for the whole community," said Cabrera, a board member with the El Cajon Corps of The Salvation Army and El Cajon's 2015 Citizen of the Year.
Cabrera was part of a group that more than 10 years ago envisioned a new community center at the site on Main Street. He said site plans show a building "bigger and better" than what they ever imagined.
The community center will include a food pantry, community garden, social services center, gymnasium, youth center, meeting spaces for senior nutrition and youth classes.
Clients will have access to health and wellness classes and sports activities such as basketball, indoor soccer and volleyball. They will also have more choices at the facility's food pantry, said Capt. Sean Kelsey of the El Cajon Corps.
Nutrition basics and life skills training will also be part of the pantry effort, with an ultimate goal of helping families return to food independence.
In a typical month, the El Cajon Corps provides nearly 1,000 families with food assistance and helps more than 300 families as part of the federal government's Commodity Supplemental Food Program,
Senior nutrition will continue to be a focus for the El Cajon Salvation Army workers, who feed 1,400 older adults each month, even heading out to remote East County areas such as Pine Valley.
The El Cajon Salvation Army assists more than 40,000 people each year, and the organization expects that number to increase once the community center is completed.
"When this is finished, we'll be able to set people up with personal plans to get them into the right programs," Cabrera said. "This will be the opportunity for doing it for real."
The facility will also help homeless individuals, but Kelsey didn't know yet what that would look like.
Kelsey and the The Salvation Army have been a large part of the East County Homeless Task Force.
In partnership with the city of El Cajon, the group has helped dozens of people find "A Way Back Home" through the Task Force's program that reunites homeless individuals with their families who live outside the area.
Kelsey said with this winter's weather being "super cold" by San Diego standards, he was thinking about the need to offer homeless residents shelter from the low temperatures.
"We might welcome them off the streets for one night," he said.
Salvation Army officials anticipate the opening in August. The facility will be located next to the El Cajon Corps' main offices at 1011 E. Main St.
The group is working on raising a little over $1 million to finish the building. While the funds have been raised for the structure itself, inside needs such as shelving and tables is still not paid for.

Matthew Neer is a good guy, and I had the luck to discover it after I bought a copy of his latest "5K Formula System." It's a good guy because I've got a few questions and he took the time to answer them all, and it was great.
This product is based on his own experience with affiliate marketing, and the system he shows will give you the opportunity to enter affiliate marketing from the front door, as it is incredibly detailed.
By my side I bought the first two offers of the set, one about how to make sales with the affiliate offers, and the other on how to increase traffic, another good thing you are never tired to see. The first product is organized in a membership area where you will be able to access the 6 videos, organized in 5 modules. At the end you will be able to get your custom squeeze page, and a way to make money from it. And the great thing is you can modify the squeeze page direcly online! Crazy!
Then the OTO is all about traffic, and you're offered some good ways to drive fresh and targeted traffic to your selected offers.
It's a good product, great for newbies and for people who never made one hundred dollars per day. If you will follow this method, you will be able for sure to make cash, because it's what I use on daily basis! If instead you are an experienced marketer with a solid list, "5K Formula System" is not for you. Now it's your choice!

Directed by Oliver Stone
Written by Eric Bogosian and Oliver Stone
Starring Eric Bogosian, Alec Baldwin, Ellen Greene
Released in 1988
Alan Berg was a Denver talk radio host. On June 18, 1984, members of a white supremacist group calling themselves The Order shot him thirteen times as he stepped out of his car at his home. He died. The Order was a neo-Nazi gang inspired by The Turner Diaries. They were also inspired by the curse of minuscule penises and inferior brain capacities. If The Turner Diaries sounds familiar to you, that may be because the badly written 1978 novel by William Luther Pierce was the same book that was loved by Timothy McVeigh of Oklahoma City Bombing infamy. It was also mentioned by John King, the evil racist who dragged James Byrd by the neck from the back of his car. Eric Bogosian rants about him the book in the 1988 Oliver Stone movie Talk Radio, the movie based on the life and death of Alan Berg.
As we get into a discussion of this movie, I should perhaps mention that I strongly dislike shrivel-dicked neo-Nazis, just as I strongly dislike lots of other types of people, including folks who discriminate against others, folks who like things without knowing why they like them, stupid people, knee-jerk reaction people, folks who have to read a book to know what to do, obsessive people, compulsive people, people who forget to wipe their noses (or other orifices), and people who shout "Wheeeee!" out of moving automobiles for no discernible reason. That said, Talk Radio is a blast, mainly because Eric Bogosian's portrayal of Barry Champlain is a warts-and-all examination of not only the Alan Berg on-air personality, but also of the frequently psychotic types who tuned in to listen to him. To be very good in the talk radio world requires something bigger than just ego; it requires a level of narcissism that is beyond most of us and the ability to communicate this trait without seeming like a fool is hard. Bogosian--no stranger to ego--pulled off the characterization like the genius I suspect he is.
The screenplay, a collaboration between Bogosian and Stone, is first rate, based as it is on the star's own stage play, which in turn was based on the Stephen Singular book Talked to Death: The Life and Murder of Alan Berg. The love interest stuff gets in the way a bit, as one might expect, but otherwise the pace of this extremely monologue-driven narrative jumps right along like a speeding train in search of a set of tracks. This is a Big Issues movie and with Stone in the chair, the audience is not spared a well-deserved bang on the noggin for making the mistake of identifying with any of the support characters.
One of the most moving scenes in the film occurs at some type of athletic ceremony when, after getting sprayed with coffee by a hostile fan, Barry approaches the microphone to speak and is roundly booed by most of those in attendance. His few supporters are the lunatic fringe who give him little comfort.
But the best scene of all involves a true believer head case named Kent who drops in the studio to show his mania.
This may just be the finest moment in any Oliver Stone motion picture. The movie features several folks you will recognize, including John C. McGinley ("Scrubs") as Stu the phone guy, Alec Baldwin ("30 Rock") as Dan the boss, and John Pankow ("Mad About You") as Dietz, the corporate dude who is in charge of deciding whether or not Barry's show will go national. But this is Bogosian's movie from start to finish and even the masterful cinematography cannot take away from what should have been an Oscar-winning performance. That in years since, Eric has been diminished to playing the honcho in a Dick Wolf TV cop show is a sad commentary, but not as sad as what happened to Alan Berg in Denver.


This is one of those times that only other photographers who shoot wildlife will truly understand the significance of. If you do a google search for Blue Heron photographs you will be hard pressed to find one from this angle. I was beyond delighted as it was unfolding and it took everything in me to sit perfectly still as this beautiful, majestic bird with that incredible wing span flew straight to me.. head on. He didn't know I was there until he was almost on top of me. Those meditation practices are coming in handy as much in my physical life as they are in my spiritual life! ;-) Wow... what a thrill!
I've captured quite a few shots of them lately, but because they're so skittish and it's really unusual to get one to come straight at you like that at eye level, it's probably my new favorite. Here are a few more though. I enjoy photographing them quite a bit.

Un programme informatique en code natif (ou langage machine) est composé d'instructions directement reconnues par un processeur. Le code natif est donc lié à une famille particulière de processeurs partageant le même jeu d'instructions.

Les programmeurs n'écrivent pas de code natif directement, ils rédigent des « programmes sources » en suivant les conventions d'un langage de programmation (langage d'assemblage ou langage de bas niveau comme C, C++, Pascal…), et la traduction de ces programmes sources en code natif est faite par des programmes (assembleur, compilateur, édition de liens).

Certains compilateurs produisent du  (en particulier les compilateurs des langages de haut niveau comme Java, Python…) au lieu du code natif. Ce  n'est pas compris par les processeurs, et doit donc être soit interprété par un programme, soit converti en code natif avant d'être exécuté. La portabilité (possibilité d'exécuter le même code sur des machines très différentes) est un des avantages de cette approche, employée par exemple pour les  Java, ou les animations Adobe Flash.

Q: a href tag getting 0 height inspite of the attribute being declared All,
On my website www.coutallure.com
There is a 'forgot password' div thats sitting right underneath the 'password' field at the bottom of the page.
Now, even though, I have specified the height & width of the div (id: fpass), the 'a href' tag inside this div doesnt inherit the height from the parent div (fpass).
I have specified the height & width of the 'a href' tag as well and as per the firebug, the height & width is being taken into consideration by the browser, however still, the height of the 'a href' tag remains zero!
Can anyone please enlighten me why this is the way it is, i.e. the height & width of the 'a href' tag is not the actual height & width being used by the browser?

A: An a element is inline by default, add display: block to make it listen to its dimensions.
An inline element won't listen to its dimensions set with CSS.
jsFiddle.

Flexible Wire Mesh Screens – I-PIE Inc.
Warpage, a primary cause of water seal trough protection failure, occurs due to the inability of the rigid material to absorb impact from clinkers and thermal distortion. A secondary pitfall to using rigid materials for water seal trough protection is that they easily become caught and hung up on the refractory walls. This causes damage to the wall as well as the rigid material itself.
Why Should I Use Flexible Wire Mesh?
Our flexible wire mesh screen panels ship with an attachment bar. In most cases, the panels can be bolted to your existing mounting brackets. In cases where current mounting brackets are not available, I-PIE, Inc. will design and custom fabricate mounting solutions for you and include all attachment hardware. Panels can be tagged prior to shipment for proper placement in the ash hopper.
Consider the time, labor, and material costs of using the rigid materials to protect your water seal trough. Many companies contract labor and hire experts to inspect and repair their water seal trough systems. Between loss of production, building scaffolding, removing the existing water seal trough protection, inspecting and repairing the seal trough, repairing or replacing the existing water seal through protection, and removing scaffolding, these costs add up to one big headache for maintenance supervisors and the guys counting the beans in the corporate office.
The central reason for using flexible wire mesh screen panels is that they flex – a simple concept. These screen panels flex on a horizontal plane which allows them to absorb clinker impact without warping the protection barrier, resulting in greater longevity.
In many cases, the removal and installation of traditional castings requires two or more workers. Generally speaking (depending on refractory thickness, casting thickness, etc.), castings with refractory tend to have twice the weight of their equivalent in flexible wire mesh screen panels. This causes undue stress on boiler tubes and structures and an increase in labor/maintenance hours.
Rigid forms of water seal trough protection tend to wear and chip away at the refractory lining of the ash hopper walls. The constant impact and wear effect of these rigid materials on the walls creates erosion problems, which can eventually create problems for the clinker grinders. The flexible wire mesh screen panels give, helping reduce refractory erosion.
I-PIE, Inc. offers 304 SS, 314L SS, 316L SS, 410 SS, 430 SS, Inconel® 601 Alloy, Inconel® 625 Alloy, and Tophet® Alloy 30. Other materials available upon request. Note: Higher sulfur coals typically require lower nickel alloys. Higher ambient temperatures typically require higher nickel alloys. We're happy to discuss your needs.
For added protection, I-PIE, Inc. offers flame sprayed coatings for increased corrosion resistance in high temperature applications. Contact us for more information.

Denby, Davis score consecutive TDs as Weber State wins 35-30
GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — Darryl Denby and Josh Davis scored back-to-back second-half touchdowns and Weber State rallied past North Dakota 35-30 on Saturday.
Denby made five catches for 107 yards with two scores. He pulled in a 13-yard pass from Jake Constantine as Weber State regained the lead, 28-23 with 7:07 left in the third quarter. Davis, 107 yards rushing, then scored from the 3, pushing the lead to 35-23 early in the final quarter.
Constantine passed 27-of-41 for 318 yards with three touchdowns and ran for a fourth for the Wildcats (6-2, 4-1 Big Sky), who were ranked fourth in the FCS coaches' poll.
Brady Leach kicked a 29-yard field goal to give 22nd-ranked North Dakota a 23-21 lead to open the second half. Donnell Rodgers returned a blocked field goal 60 yards in the closing minutes as the Fighting Hawks closed to 35-30. North Dakota (5-3) is competing as an FCS independent, but its games count for Big Sky opponents.
North Dakota's first score was a 99-yard kickoff return by Evan Holm, who stepped out of a tackle at the 20 and ran the rest of the way in the clear.

Could you evaluate Picasso's epic Guernica if you were only permitted to see every other square inch of this 11 by 25 foot canvas? If that prevented a fair evaluation, could the process nevertheless provide you with sufficient basis to at least make a tentative judgment about the whole?
That's the challenge which faces audiences who see the 2 hour - 45 minute "theatrical" version of this 5 and ½ hour long made -for television miniseries which is currently playing in New York City (downtown in the original 5 & ½ hour version; uptown opposite The Lincoln Center in the edited one). Unwilling to subject my posterior to the former, I settled for the latter, only to come away with an impression decidedly at odds with professional film critics, who have exuberantly praised this examination of the career of Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, the Venezuelan terrorist who rose to international prominence under the code name Carlos.
The distinguished French writer/director Olivier Assayas is reputed to have done vast amounts of research on his homicidal subject, who directed the raid on a meeting of OPEC ministers in 1975 which instantly made him an international, if horrific, celebrity. Although originally aligning himself with various anti-Israeli Palestinian groups, Carlos evolved into a cynical hit-man, for sale to anyone in the shadowy world of terrorism willing to pay him and provide sanctuary from the authorities. Smart, ego-centric and totally unsympathetic to the needs of anyone other than himself, he was finally captured in central Africa while recuperating from liposuction surgery and whisked off to France, where he remains jailed to this day. Beyond securing the deaths of numerous innocents and causing the expenditure of vast quantities of governmental time and money to hunt him down, Carlos accomplished nothing, stands for nothing and is ultimately admired for nothing. Even the jaded world of revolutionary ideologues has turned its back on him.
If a detailed examination of what can be known of his life sounds like a painful way to spend a few hours in the dark, it should be noted that Assayas has fashioned a quasi-documentary which certainly conveys both the atavistic terrorist worldview as well as the deadening boredom which greets its practitioners in the stretches of time which invariably lie between one lethal incident and the next. There are ample opportunities to experience both here, but is that enough? Doesn't a film which takes this much time to tell its story cry out for some reasonably penetrating and or plausible explanation for the motivations of this exceptionally lionized international gangster?
Last year's The Baader-Meinhof Complex did just that, examining the motivational evolution of the German terrorists who operated in western Europe during same time period in the 1970's & '80's when Carlos' star was in its ascendency. In that film, audiences got the opportunity to see the growth and maturation of the terrorist mentality; in at least the shortened version of Carlos, audiences are simply presented with a multi-lingual sociopath who favors tailored leather jackets and excellent Scotch - - what Carlos did is laid out in numbing detail - - but the director seems uninterested in why he did it.
If the complete version of this film responds to that last complaint, I'd be willing and eager to revise my opinion - - but I have the lingering suspicion that the version shown initially in 3 installments on television simply provides more of what the shortened version provides; lots of the nuts and bolts which make up terrorist activity, but precious little of the underlying, twisted journey which they take in order to justify their actions.
The Verdict? A suitable story for complex telling, rendered stupefying dull in at least its edited version.

There are 2 main reasons I invested in clusterFlunk.
The founders are worth following just to see what happens. They have that built-in midwest hustle and clarity of purpose you just don't find very often.
How much they've built on a shoestring budget is really impressive and their story about coming up with cash to pay a designer when they didn't have money is one of my local favorites. It's what starting companies is like. I also think their software helps solve a problem that I personally had in school.
I had a hard time absorbing all the information in the classroom. However, an open forum between peers to discuss what was going on in the class and bounce things around isn't something I had. You could argue that a study group could have solved that but I just wasn't confident enough. The idea of sitting with people who made me feel dumb didn't help me much.
It just made me feel really stupid.
Now, I'd probably just interrupt every 5 minutes stating "I have no idea what you just said. Please repeat it." I didn't have the confidence then and I'd wager most college students don't either.
The internet on the other hand empowers you to share quickly and get feedback without the social oddities we all have as young adults. As a student, being able to put myself out there to a message board to get some help would have been easier than to a group of peers in person. I'm not sure how that will manifest itself in their business but I'm excited to see how it unfolds.
1. If you want the investment community of angels to grow in Des Moines then angels making investments need to put their name on it publicly. It's critical to reduce the barrier to entrepreneurs finding you and other angels.
I'm super excited to learn more about the educational market and tap some other friends for feedback. All in all, I'm just excited to watch these 2 guys swing. One of my favorite things about having free time in Iowa is spending time with founders and these are some of my favorites.
AJ & Joe are on the right road and I'm excited for what the next few years of their life will look like.
It's so bad it's good. You don't forget it. that's pretty amazing.
See what I mean? They're memorable… Swing on my friends. Swing on.

Great idea, I certainly could have used this in college ….


Since childlikeness determines our greatness in the kingdom of heaven, one of the great dangers to the Christian church is becoming too adult, too austere and too regulated. We often see childhood as a state of immaturity, but there is something deeply satisfying about a relationship with God characterized by childlike spontaneity, wonder and joy.
There is a reason it is mostly young people who line up for roller coasters. Children need and enjoy risks. They push for adventure and long to test their limits, learning what it means to be responsible from occasions when they push too far. By the time we reach adulthood, most of us have learned to play it safe, but we lose something in the Christian life when we adopt a similar attitude. Many Christians reduce their faith to a comfortable set of beliefs about God rather than an adventurous journey where He takes us beyond where we have been before.
A childlike life is a life of curiosity. There is a stage in a child's development where almost every sentence out of their mouths seems to begin with why, how, who or what. In the book Dangerous Wonder, author and theologian Mike Yaconelli says that children ask questions not to find answers but to build relationships. We should adopt a similar childlike curiosity about God, though we must accept we will not receive answers to every question. Deuteronomy 29:29 states, "The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children for ever, that we may follow all the words of this law." We are to be confident about the things God has revealed, but cautious and humble about the things He has not.
Wide-eyed wonder is another feature and joy of childhood, but one our rational culture is killing. We put everything under a microscope, dissecting and analyzing until there is nothing left to wonder about. Knowledge is good, but the sad fact is that familiarity breeds contempt. Though we have more knowledge now than ever, there has never been such a blasé-ness about what we know. For many, it is the same with the Christian life. We debate the doctrine of God's love, but do we bask in the wonder of it? Are we astonished and amazed by God, His creation and what He is doing?
The Christian life was not meant to be lived seated in a pew or steeped in catechism. It was meant to be lived with a childlike sense of adventure, curiosity and wonder ever fueling our desire to dive deeper into relationship with Christ.
Prayer: Almighty God, develop within me a childlike wonder in living the Christian life. Never stop amazing me with who You are and the awesome things You are doing. Thank You, Lord.

Cultural Review: From Celebrity Spectacle To Art In Conflict, Here Are The Moments That Shaped 2022
Fiona Sinclair Scott, Jackie Palumbo, Leah Dolan , Oscar Holland, CNN
In the year If 2021 saw a temporary return to in-person meetings and social gatherings, 2022 looks like a more confident return to life as we know it. The worst years of the Covid-19 pandemic have passed in many parts of the world, although there is no shortage of major events to keep us going.
The war in Ukraine and the 1973 Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade Legalization of abortion in the United States, severe weather from severe flooding to an unprecedented heat wave, human rights protests in Iran and global economic uncertainty – the world needs no less in 2022 Art, fashion and culture Important statements and important distractions They are well established.
Scroll down to revisit some of the year's most memorable cultural moments and themes.
Culture in conflict

Motherhood is like a haw couter.
Art and business
Disturbances in the Metaverse

In the year When Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, the country's artistic and cultural heritage was immediately threatened. Representatives of the public and cultural sectors rushed to cities across the country to protect museums and monuments from monument sandbag attacks. A number of paintings by Maria Primachenko, a self-taught artist and icon of Ukrainian national identity of the 20th century, have reportedly been destroyed by Russian troops in an attack on a museum in her hometown of Ivankovo.
But while some works of art have sadly disappeared, new works have been created – like the Seven Banksy Wall Murals – that convey a message of restoration. Unexpectedly, Ukraine is still participating in the Venice Biennale in April, Pavel Makov's source of fatigue, the installation of 78 bronze funds that pay a single flow of water until the flow decreases.
Maria Lanko, a Ukrainian analyst who spoke to CNN about the exhibition, believes that "art has this symbolic potential to celebrate people's lives and show that we are still here – to show that Ukraine is a victim of war."
Artists around the world have used art to rebel against governments and their own policies. In October, Xisheng Wu, a 28-year-old art school graduate, took to New York's Times Square in a 27-layer hazmat suit to criticize China's strict policies to eradicate Covid-19.

In January, Rihanna announced that she was expecting her first child with A$AP partner Rocky, announcing the news with a photo shoot that showed off the star's belly in a 1996 Chanel pink jacket adorned with Christian Lacroix embellishments.
Later that year, when Rihanna graced the cover of Vogue's May issue in a red lace jumpsuit and gorgeous stilettos, she expressed her disdain for the elastic belts that many would expect of her: "When I found out I was pregnant, I was like, , 'no. You can't buy it in the birth aisle. "I'm sorry, the dress is very interesting," she said. "I don't allow this part because my body is changing."
Adriana Lima walked the Cannes Film Festival red carpet in a black Balmain wrap dress that perfectly hugged her pregnant belly. Baby fever was also felt on the runways, from Olivier Rousteing's collection to Jean-Paul Gaultier, all-leather corsets with sculpted baby bellies, to model Maggie Maurer, Nancy Dojak to announce her pregnancy in summer 2022. .

Auctions are back in full force, with some great sales. In November, the late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen's art collection (which includes works by George Swarth, Vincent van Gogh and Paul Cézanne) sold at auction for more than $1.6 billion, the largest sale in auction history.
Earlier this year, Andy Warhol's "Shot Sage Blue Marilyn" sold for $195 million, making it the most expensive work of art of the 20th century. Meanwhile, Man Ray's Violin Ingress became the world's most expensive film at $12.4 million. 20th-century Dutch artist Piet Mondrian achieved a personal best with one of his most famous abstract works sold at auction for $51 million.

While futuristic virtual worlds loomed on the horizon last year, with hundreds of billions of dollars raised by tech companies, luxury brands and venture capitalists, the metaverse is going strong in 2022. But it was far from smooth. Meanwhile, gaming platform Roblox continues to attract millions of visitors with its fashion and luxury projects, while Meta has struggled to create a digital world people want to hang out in. With the global economic outlook deteriorating, cryptocurrencies collapsing and mass layoffs, mass adoption of virtual worlds may not happen as quickly and smoothly as we'd like. But with technological advancements and limitless creativity in space, everyone is looking to 2023 to see what's next.
Elaine Jo (left) and Julia Fox (right) have been at the forefront of pop culture this year.
In the year In 2022, many new faces will join established influencers in helping to relaunch the idea of the nerd girl. While the Chinese zodiac describes it as the year of the tiger, in some ways it was like the year of the fox. In January, Julia Fox appeared on our social media at Paris Fashion Week — arm in arm with Kanye West in a matching double-jeans Schiaparelli look and her now-designer black eyeliner — and never left. . She quickly established herself as celebrity fashion's "scary child," rejecting low-cut pants and dying her hair at age 32 in the name of aging.
But not all his daughters should be strange like Fox. This year, Zendaya has been aided by award-winning stylist and collaborator Lou Roach to maintain her flawless looks on the red carpet. The fashion-savvy actress once again coined the term "hot show" when she wore Lowe's ahead of the September issue. Chinese-American figure skater Ellen Guo, who has quietly made a name for herself in the fashion industry, is set to become a luxury fashion star in 2022. Her bilingualism, athleticism at the Beijing Winter Olympics and her apolitical stance on controversial issues are among the many reasons she continues to fascinate both Asian and Western audiences in China.

Marilyn Monroe's very short and turbulent life has provided endless fodder for film, television and fashion, but two prestigious awards this year have forced many to rethink how the actress and model is remembered. After months of derision for Anna de Armas' macabre turn to Monroe in Andrew Dominic's Blonde, a dramatic and somewhat revealing portrayal of her life based on Joyce Carol Oates' novel, critics labeled the shocking film exploitative. But another honor was the surprise return of Kim Kardashian's "Happy Birthday Monroe" dress, which the reality star coordinated for her Met Gala appearance in May. Amidst accusations that Kardashian messed up the image, Ripley said, "Believe it or not!" Who owns the thing, but many still miss the important piece of historical clothing they wore.

Before Beyoncé released Renaissance, her highly-anticipated seventh album and follow-up to Lemonade, the Beyhive correctly predicted that the queen would be playing disco and house this summer. Within 24 hours, she released "Break My Soul," a cover of Robin C.'s 90s hit "Show Me Love." The two photos of Beyoncé on horseback were direct references to the same image of New York. Studio 54: Bianca Jagger rides the famous nightclub White Mountain. Working with producers like Chicago native Honey Dijon and sampling hits like Donna Summer's dynamic hit "I Feel Love," Beyoncé made fun summer music with a '70s look.

The fashion industry has said goodbye to many influential people. Andre Leon Talley, former Vogue creative director and industry pioneer known for his unmatched style, died on January 18 at the age of 73. Red carpets – she died at the same age. Isse Miyake, one of Japan's most important creative visionaries, died in Paris in August at the age of 84.

Did Kaia Gerber walk the red carpet in tribute to '90s model (and mom) Cindy Crawford, or did Kate Bush's 1985 classic 'Running Down the Hill' have a revival for Netflix's "Stranger Things" this year? About looking back. too many. The one you've been waiting for.
At the Grammy Awards in April, Meghan Markle Stallion and Dua Lipa created an iconic moment in pop culture history when they took the stage in the same Versace gown — back in 2011. A faux fashion nod for the VMAs in 1998 with Mariah Carey and Whitney. Houston.
Archive fashion also dominated the red carpet. Emily Ratajkowski In May 1992, she wore a beaded Versace look to the Met Gala, and YouTube star Emma Chamberlain wore a 1911 Cartier tiara. Last November, Kylie Jenner wore a 1995 Mugler Couture dress when she arrived at the opening of the Thierry Mugler Couture Show at the Brooklyn Museum.

While much of the public, the media, and the royal family were on edge, when the news of Queen Elizabeth II's death broke on September 8, it was no less surreal. Between his death and his royal funeral, newspapers around the world focused on news reports, and his legacy was honored with the depth and enthusiasm of a rare historical figure. It was impossible to resist her image, because she was immortalized by artists and photographers all over the world. She is Britain's longest-reigning monarch and a symbol of courage, diplomacy and stability. She is known for her pep talks, arts and culture support, artful diplomacy and more. But her death has brought back poignant memories of Britain's often violent colonial era, as critics of the old empire seek to contextualize the pages of tributes to a woman many see as a symbol of oppression.
This year, climate protesters approached the march in different ways. In October, Just Stop Oil launched cans of tomato soup at the Vincent van Gogh "Sunflowers" exhibition at London's National Gallery. Credit : Just Stop Oil/The Hand/Anadolu Agency/Getty Images
After a Louvre visitor painted on the Mona Lisa earlier this summer, 2022 was the year no artwork was safe. Among the many masterpieces targeted by climate change protesters are paintings by Gustav Klimt, Pablo Picasso and Sandro Botticelli (some of which are framed).
Britain's Just Stop Oil, which hopes to end future fossil fuel licensing, is behind a series of events including a tomato soup attack on Vincent van Gogh's sunflowers. Climate campaigners across Europe have followed suit by targeting Claude Monet's 'Hay Ball with Mashed Potatoes' to protestors in Germany as Belgian painters team up with Johannes Vermeer's 'Girl with Pearl Ears'.
Since then, some of the protesters have been sentenced to prison terms and the actions that have caused great division are critical. Some critics believe that the activists' actions end up alienating the public and harming their cause. However, studies show that even then, the decline in the support of the demonstrators did not affect the support for their demand.

From Heidi Klum's nightmarish giant worm costume to her famous Halloween party and Olivia Wilde's Don't Worry Darling press tour has become sexier than the movie, the red carpet moments and track that took the Internet by storm this year were even weirder. And more theatrical than ever. Twitter is obsessed with the latter: Did Harry Styles really spit on fellow actor Chris Pine?
At Paris Fashion Week in October, Bella Hadid was at the center of one of the most talked-about moments in the fashion world of the year. The model is locked in for French label Coperny for spring/summer 2023, though her latest outfit comes after walking the catwalk. The factory white dress, which was sprayed on her body by two scientists, was sculpted in 10 minutes by a stunned audience.

Balenciaga spent most of the year making a splash with its long-awaited catwalk shows, from the debut of Kim Kardashian (before the epidemic) to the appearance of Kanye West on the dirty Parisian catwalk.

September 25th, 2011 | Moving Tips.
There's no need for more than three; it's a strain on you and waste of your time. Set up an in-home estimate with your local Wheaton representative and representatives from two other major van lines. There are plenty of fine movers out there, but you minimize the risk of problems if you stick to the big guys and the brands you know.
Be prepared with your questions before the salesperson gets there. That way, you won't forget what you wanted to ask. Ask each representative to carefully explain their entire estimate to you. Your goal should be to ensure you have enough information to make an informed, "apples-to-apples" comparison between estimates. That's not always easy. Every moving company is required to maintain its own pricing tariff. As a result, you can't simply look at a discount level and compare. You have to look at each line item.
Remember, the key factors in creating a moving estimate are weight and distance. It's unlikely the distance will be too far off from one estimate to the next if you've given a specific destination address. But weights can vary drastically. If the weights are different from one estimate to the next, ask why? What did one salesperson include or exclude from the mix that caused the weight to vary? A difference in weight can make a significant difference in cost. You also need to compare services. Did the estimates include appliance servicing? Extra costs for particularly bulky items? Overtime? Extra labor?
Again, make sure you're comparing apples to apples. If one estimate quoted the lowest level of liability, your valuation will be at no charge. But at 60 cents per pound, you won't get much back if something happens to your household goods in transit. Another estimate might have included full Replacement Value Protection – it can cost hundreds more but protects you from damage if something goes wrong.


I need to start going to more dance productions. My schedule is pretty busy with plays and musicals, and I don't know as much about the world of dance, but whenever I do go to a dance performance I always enjoy it. Such as the show currently playing at the Guthrie Theater's 9th floor Dowling Studio - Swimming with My Mother. Dancer and choreographer David Bolger (who so brilliantly choreographed last summer's blockbuster musical H.M.S. Pinafore at the Guthrie that he won an Ivey Award for it) choreographed this piece and performs it with his 78-year-old mother Madge. It's completely lovely and enchanting, a beautiful, sweet, and touching exploration of the parent-child relationship.
David, co-founder of the dance company CoisCéim Dance Theatre (from the Irish word for footstep), originally created this piece for the Dublin Dance Festival in 2010. He was asked to create a solo piece for himself, but instead he chose to bring his "Ma" along. Featuring voiceovers of Madge telling stories about her life - her father teaching her to swim in the Irish sea, and then teaching her children to swim on that same beach - Madge and David express their relationship and their love of swimming and dance (respectively) through movement. At times they appear to be swimming, or underwater; later David convinces his reluctant mother to dance with him to Nat King Cole's "It's Only a Paper Moon:"
There is something magical about swimming, particularly in a natural body of water. I recently spent a week at a small, private lake near Brainerd and spent hours in the water every day. There's something very comforting about swimming in a lake, like you're a part of nature. And swimming is a little like dancing; it's impossible not to be graceful in the water - it slows down your movements and smooths them out. Swimming with My Mother beautifully illustrates this. As someone said on the elevator after the show, "It makes you want to go swimming, doesn't it?" Madge is a lifelong swimmer and swimming teacher, and still swims five days a week. That love of swimming is apparent in the piece, intermingled with her love for her children, and theirs for her.
Madge and David Bolger "swimming"
If you're a fan of dance, or swimming, or even if you're not, Swimming with My Mother is worth checking out. The hour-long performance concludes with a screening of David and Madge's 6-minute film Deep End Dance, in which they dance underwater in the very pool where Madge taught David to swim. It's a lovely and beautiful thing to witness.

Best described as a way of advertising, marketing is a channel that the entrepreneur employs to communicate with his target audience about his product and service that he wishes to sell. Conventional marketing relies on using persuasive language to convince potential customers to buy a particular product or at least take some action that could result in sales at a later date. Online marketing for small business, which came into being courtesy of the Internet, is based on the same principles and shares the same objective of building a particular brand.
SEO, meaning search engine optimization, is a must for every online business because it is the only method that causes your website to register with major search engines. However, more important than incorporating SEO is the manner in which it is applied. While tactfully and correctly applied SEO will ensure an endless stream of traffic to your website and add to your business's popularity, faulty usage can get you penalized and banned from search engines.
Not totally free like SEO but still affordable is the pay-per-click (PPC) method of advertising wherein you will be required to pay a certain amount for every visit that your webpage receives. Because it entails social media platforms and adwords, it is a more comprehensive way of marketing for small business.
Sending across well-designed and attractive emailers to old clients and potential customers is a good way of keeping in touch, inviting queries and spurring a discussion. As long as your emailer is eye catching and appealing, it could prove to be a useful weapon for generating interest and creating a strong client base.
Ultimately, marketing for small business need not be as intimidating as it seems at first and just requires you to identify cost effective methods that would promote sales and fetch profits for many long years.
