Mobile ads can seem daunting, in the beginning. Getting your first successful campaign off the ground means educating yourself about a number of different technologies, best practices, and a frustratingly complex industry ecosystem. Depending on the scope of your ambition, it can also mean making a huge financial investment into a media channel you know very little about.
Modern consumers are intimately connected to their mobile devices—at home, at the office, at the mall—everywhere they go, every hour of the day. For the first time in history, marketers and advertisers have the opportunity to engage individual consumers, in any context imaginable. Mobile devices are the first truly personal 1-to-1 marketing channel. Families sit around televisions, people share desktop computers, and nobody reads the newspaper anymore. But mobile devices are personal—one person for one device.
Meaning mobile ads can be targeted to specific individuals, so you only pay for ad impressions with the most relevant consumers.
Mobile ad spend is still extremely disproportionately low in relation to mobile's share of consumer attention. According to Business Insider, mobile devices account for more than 20% of ALL media consumed, across all channels–yet mobile's share of overall ad spend is still less than 10%. This means fewer advertising dollars are being spent to compete in a media channel getting more consumer focus.
In other words, mobile ads see more attention, with less competition.
Mobile accounts for 20% of all media consumed, but mobile ads account for less than 10% of media spend.
But these conditions won't last forever. Mobile ad spend is projected to keep growing at an explosive rate, reaching $100 billion annually by 2017—meaning the longer you wait to get started with mobile ads, the more competitive the market will get. For advertisers who wait too long, it will be that much harder to break into this new market.
More than any other marketing channel, mobile allows advertisers to target their ideal audience. The best mobile advertising networks include deep targeting options, allowing you to segment your audience by demographic (age, gender, etc), interest (what type of sites and apps are they likely to use), time of day, and location (because of mobile's status as an on-the-go device, consumers can be targeted by a precisely defined geographic region).
It is also highly recommended that your mobile ads employ rich media (animation, video, interactivity), as opposed to old-fashioned static media. Across the industry, reports cite the performance of rich media mobile ads as being several times higher.
There are some long-standing prejudices against mobile ads in terms of overall functionality. Even major brands with huge advertising budgets often handicap their mobile ads by having the post-click experience re-direct consumers away from the content they were browsing—to an entirely different mobile website or landing page.
But the actual potential of mobile ads is much more diverse, and your campaign can be customized to accomplish any number of marketing and advertising goals, incorporating a variety of interactive post-click experiences within the ad units themselves. When a consumer clicks on your banner ad, it doesn't need to take them to a different website—now the ad itself can be triggered to expand as an interactive overlay and deliver rich experiences right then and there.
In an earlier post, I compared and contrasted the value of premium mobile ad networks vs. blind mobile ad networks. There are a number of different mobile ad networks out there that serve clients of all sizes, but whichever mobile ad network you ultimately do decide to go with, your primary concerns should be transparency and reach.
CPM (Cost Per Mille) – The advertiser pays a set amount for every thousand ads served. This means that you will be charged for every ad that loads on a consumer's mobile device, regardless of whether or not the consumer clicks or interacts with it in any way.
CPC (Cost Per Click) – The advertiser pays only for consumers who actually infer interest by clicking on the mobile display ad. Because this pricing model involves less risk than CPM, it is usually reserved for lower-profile publishers.
CPA (Cost Per Action)/CPI (Cost Per Install) – The advertiser pays only for a specific action taken by consumers, most commonly downloading a mobile app from the app store. This model has very little risk for advertisers, and as a result is less freely available amongst top-level publishers.
Not all reporting software is created equal, and not all vendors offer comprehensive analytics measuring every aspect of every campaign. There's a reason that 75% of marketers and advertisers cite performance tracking as their #1 concern—it's the only way to tell if what you're doing is even working, and the only way to improve future campaigns.
A good reporting suite for your mobile ads also offers in-depth audience insights, so you can make sure the ideal consumers you are targeting with your campaigns are engaging with the mobile ads in the way you want.

  I just realized that my coding productivity increased so much today since I
didn't read any news, it is the April's Fool Day today. All tech company are
spreading their fool's news, so it's useless to read these news, just keep
coding seems to be the best thing to do today.

Feb. 24th, 2005 @ 09:20 am is this thing on?
Okay, I think I have sufficiently gotten over my anger at LiveJournal to attempt to post again. Let's hope so or else this will just devolve into another one of my rants and then, oh well. But there is now much to talk about. We'll start with what was the topic of the two posts that have now been lost forever to cyberspace.
An amazing thing happened to me on Tuesday, namely that I finished my Psych class. It was independent study online and I took the last test on Tuesday. Yep, finished a whole two months and change early. Could have finished last week but I got lazy. But finishing that class means that I am now effectively taking 13 credit hours. I don't know what to do with myself and all my extra time... Oh, wait, yeah, that's right, I'm a theatre major, what extra time? I have rehearsals starting on Friday every day till March 6 (well, 3 of those days are our performances but still) and then, I might be in some directing scenes which mean more rehearsals and there's always work for the actual classes. So yeah, no extra time but more time than before. So yay.
Also finished the entire series of Escaflowne on DVD on Tuesday. 26 episodes, roughly 13 hours of anime, in 3 days. And I only watched one DVD on Monday, so it's really 23 episodes in 2 days. Yeah, that was a lot of anime. But it was so worth it. Escaflowne was shown on FOX kids a few years ago, but they edited it down so much (which isn't really surprising, some eps of the real show are bloodbaths) but they edited it so much that they basically cut the first 15 eps down to nine they showed on TV. That was a lot of cut material, including the entire first episode. That's kinda weird. So the box set was so much more enjoyable, even if I still wanted like three more eps. It just ended so quickly. sigh. I still can't decide if I like Folken, Van, or Merle the most. I do know who I liked the least- Alan Shazar, stupid name, stupid guy. Just didn't like him.
I'm sick today, and I think it's going to get worse. How do I know? Well, it's at that stage of the cold where the nose is kinda runny, but you can still breathe okay, it's just annoying. I've had enough colds in my life to know that it's just lulling me into a false sense of security. Sadly, I don't really have any days off where I can just sleep and get over it. Rehearsals, remember? Guess I'll just try to get to bed as early as I can every night. And take lots of drugs, drugs help. Yeah, drugs.
Oh, and new stuff, now signed up on FanFiction.net as well as FictionPress.com. So, not much up on either yet, but come check it out. Review. Reviewing's nice. *cough*hint*cough*comment button*cough* Anyway, off I go on my merry way, to class and beyond.
HI! I am so happy for you for finishing your online class!
You should be proud - as I am!!
Please get as much sleep as you can to get to feeling better.
I will say a prayer for you--much love.

A group of concerned locals is holding a community consultation about the planned development on the Barnes Hospital site.
There is an application to redevelop Barnes Hospital Site into 83 residential units, mental health facility, GP surgery, SEN school with provision for 81 cars. Access via South Worple Way.
The consultation is now completed (with 224 objections), the next phase will be for LBRuT Planning Committee to consider the proposal which could be April/May.
According to the group of locals, the objections to the application show that there is broad support for the mental health facility and the SEN school. However, there is unanimous objection to high density housing on the site and traffic, transport and pollution issues are a major concern.
The organisers of the community consultation are asking locals to come to the event to share their views and ideas on next steps.
The community consultation is taking place on Monday 1 April from 19:30pm to 20:45pm at St Michael's Church, 39 Elm Gardens. Get in touch with the organisers via email: barneshospitalplanning@gmail.com.

Two Cops Killed Today on Fruitvale in Oakland. What's REALLY Goin' On?
I just received a call from the SF Bayview Newspaper's editor about 2 cops killed on Fruitvale in East Oakland today.


This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #NightOfTheBat #UnmaskYourSpirit #CollectiveBias The following content is intended for readers who are 21 or older. This Devil's Dark and Stormy Punch is the perfect Halloween libation. Pair it with a spooky glam tablescape for the ultimate party decor.
It's so funny how our holidays change as we get older.
I used to go all out for Halloween. I would create elaborate costumes every year and spend a whole week celebrating at parties and events. I would host quite the few parties myself, many centered around a fun, spooky, festive, almost-always-black-or-orange drink.
Now, at the lovely age of 31, my perfect Halloween is spent inside handing out candy. After many, many years of apartment life, we finally live in a house and actually get Trick-or-Treaters! And a lot of them, too. Last year I created goodie bags filled with candy, fun pencils, spider rings, healthy snacks, pumpkin erasers, witch fingers, and stickers. The kids were so amazed and excited to get bags, so of course I have to do it again this year.
My Halloween festivities now include making epic Trick-or-Treat bags, watching scary movies every night for two weeks before Halloween, pumpkin and apple picking, dressing up my dog, and pumpkin carving with wine. And you know what? I love it.
Even though my holidays have changed quite a bit over the years, I couldn't be happier with the cozy, happy life I have created.
One thing that hasn't changed, though? I still love my festive drinks.
Sure, my parties are much quieter now, but they still deserve a fantastic libation or two.
I love hosting small pumpkin carving get-togethers during Halloween, complete with scary movies and fun, festive food and drinks.
One of my favorite ways to do this is to create a spooky punch. Last week I bought this punch bowl (had to have it, isn't it gorgeous?) alongside a bunch of candy, toys, and goodies for my infamous Trick-or-Treat bags. The woman behind me in line smiled. "Spooky punch?" She asked. You know it.
Creating this spooky Devil's Dark and Stormy Punch is really fun, makes for great presentation, and is easy as can be.
To spook-ify any punch, you only need four things: a punch bowl, another smaller bowl (to fit inside), dry ice, and warm water.
Dry ice can be easily found at just about any grocery store. It makes an amazing creepy, misty effect that's perfect for Halloween festivities. Just place the dry ice in the larger bowl and 'activate' it by pouring in some warm water. Always be careful when handling dry ice (use gloves and tongs) and never put dry ice directly into any beverage that you're going to drink. The smaller bowl will hold the punch. The bowl should fit inside nicely with room around the sides to let the mist escape. If the bowl doesn't quite fit, I like to use a small ramekin or bowl, placed upside down on the bottom of the larger bowl. This lets the smaller bowl stay level with the larger.
I choose to make Dark and Stormy Punch for my spooky punch because it's delicious and it's so easy. Fresh lime, dark rum, ginger beer, and a bit of simple syrup make a spicy, tasty punch. Minimal ingredients and very little effort.
Bacardi is my go-to rum of choice for this Dark and Stormy Punch. Their iconic bat symbol makes this punch even more spooky! I love using both Bacardi Gold and Bacardi Superior in my cocktails, and I go for the Gold here as that's more traditional to a Dark and Stormy.
I love to create a simple glam Halloween tablescape to pair with my Devil's Dark and Stormy Punch.
To create this look, place some black netted fabric on the table. Make your primary colors black, orange, gold, and silver, using metallics where you can. Light plenty of candles in varying heights, from candlesticks to tealights. Add some lace pumpkins or metallic pumpkins. Finally, add a few sparkly ornaments and matte black pieces.
Who knew something this spooky could taste so good?!
Devil's Dark and Stormy Punch is a festive, spicy, and spooky addition to your Halloween festivities.
Combine all of the ingredients in a large punch bowl and mix well. Serve over ice. Enjoy!
For tips on serving punch with a dry ice effect, see post above.
I hope that you make and enjoy this Devil's Dark and Stormy Punch along with your Halloween festivities! What are your favorite Halloween traditions or ways to celebrate? Let us know in the comments below.
I love the dry ice idea! Such a cool look and I'd love to see how else it could be incorporated. Perfect for the Halloween season!
YUM! That punch looks super yummy! I have a bottle of Bicardi in my kitchen right now, so I am excited to try it! I also LOVE your bowl!
I love the way you set up the decorations. While we don't drink, I would love to make a virgin version of this and serve it at our upcoming party.
I once ordered a drink from a restaurant that used dry ice to make it smoke up. It's really a cool sight to see.
Legit the best drink to serve at a Halloween party, especially in that CAULDREN!!! ha! It's soo perfect!
Halloween is a great holiday for the kids, but that doesn't mean the grown-ups can't have some fun too. This punch sounds devilishly delightful.
This looks amazing! I am not much of a drinker but I would definitely give this punch a try!
This looks like such a fun and festive recipe for Halloween. I love the way it appears to be smoking! I bet this would be a hit at a party.
This punch really sounds like it would be so tasty! I am having a get together soon and this would be so perfect.
My Great-Grandparents were born in Puerto Rico which is where Bacardi has their Headquarters, have you ever been to PR and taken the Rum Factory Tour at the Bacardi Rum Factory? It's AWESOME!
Many things in life change as we grow older. I also used to enjoy getting candies and treats, but now I hand them out. So, we really should cherish times as we go through them.
I love the spooky effect of the dry ice. This drink sounds so yummy.

Access to Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is directly accessible by all major carriers from their closest hubs. The National Carrier SriLankan operates to London, Far East, the Middle East and Melbourne. The national carrier also offers easy accesses on its services for travel originating in any point in the United States, Canada , Australia and South America on code sharing flights via transit points London, Zurich and Paris in Europe, Bangkok, Singapore, Hong Kong and Tokyo. SriLankan Airlines also connects Colombo with all major cities of India as well as with Beijing and Guangdong in China.
Following air lines operate direct scheduled flights to and from Colombo.

While the distances are given in kilometers it is best that you plan your travel in terms of time as well. While roads are being fast upgraded congestion in some main highways and cities can cause delays. The best time for travel after an early breakfast or after lunch.The public transport system is dependent on Buses and Trains. Generally, these tend to be crowded during peak hours and before and after weekends on long distance routes.
A relatively inexpensive mode of travel. Buses are operated by the state as well as by private operators. On main routes connecting cities such as Galle, Kandy, Kurunegala and Colombo you will find comfortable air conditioned buses albeit at a premium price. The comfort when on long journeys is well worth the extra charge.
Slightly more expensive than travelling in a bus.. There is a high possibility of a seat on long distance trains. It is definitely the most interesting way to enjoy the scenic beauty of the island as the Railway lines were intended to connect cities to bring produce to Colombo in the shortest possible time, in an age where packing crates and jute bags were the norm and refrigeration was not easy. The Railway lines run through scenic mountain passes and long tunnels into the hills, and on bridges built on over tranquil lagoons and winding rivers.
Taxis (radio cabs)
Please do inquire with your Hotel Front Desk/ Reception, as many would be happy to provide you with a taxi cab. Cars may be hired for your visits to places of interest on a predetermined itinerary at an agreed price, with information being readily available through maps, and guidebooks
This is an option that many visitors are comfortable with. The drivers of these 'TUK TUKs' (an appropriate name resonant with the noise made) are capable of communication no matter which language you speak. The gesticulations and the ingenious expressions they devise to explain a point is a form of entertainmentin itself. Most of these now have fare meters and thus spares you the pain of negotiation, and are quite reasonable.
Domestic passenger flights
Those who would like to arrive at a destination faster and see the island with a scenic eye can use chartered flights from the Ratmalana Airport near Colombo. There is also an option to charter a light aircraft or book a private helicopter for transfers or day trips.

There are four types of Sri Lankan visas under which non-Sri Lankans can legitimately enter the country. Each visa contains information about the period of time and the condition/s of stay. A Visit Visa permits foreign nationals to enter the country and this type of visa is sub-divided into two categories, the Tourist Visit Visa and the Business Visit Visa. The Tourist Visit Visa, which is issued for a short period of time, is given to tourists who wish to come to Sri Lanka for travel purposes or to relax. Foreign nationals who wish to engage in business activities are issued Business Visit Visas for either single, double or multiple entries into the country. From the 1st of January 2012 the Department of Immigration and Emigration has specified that all Business or Holiday travelers to Sri Lanka must obtain Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) in order to enter the country. The ETA fees differ based on the country of the applicant, the type of visa and duration of stay. Payments should be made through the ETA website and not at the port of entry to Sri Lanka.
The second type of visa is a Residence Visa and it allows non-Sri Lanka to obtain residence in Sri Lanka if they fulfill certain special criteria. The third type of visa is a Transit Visa which allows for foreign nationals to enter Sri Lanka for a short period of time when they are en-route to another destination. The fourth and final visa type is called Gratis Visa in which no fees are levied. It is granted to the holder of a Diplomatic or Official Passport.Irrespective of your Visa Type if you wish to extend your visa you need to make an application to the Department of Immigration and Emigration.For further guidance go to www.immigration.gov.lk/web/
Awareness to health and safety issues
Taking care of valuables
Always keep your valuables (money, passport, tickets, and jewelry) in the hotel safety deposit locker. You should not leave your valuables unattended on the beach or leave your money or passports in your baggage which may be unlocked.
Generally, every town will possess a pharmacy and a qualified medical practitioner is not hard to find. If you are on medication please bring an adequate supply of your drugs. If you rely on prescriptions, make sure that your doctor indicates not only the brand name but also the generic name of the drug.
It is advisable to always drink bottled water. While the water supply in cities is treated they cannot be guaranteed as portable. Boiling water for drinking is a common practice in homes in Sri Lanka. You are advised to use bottled water with its sealed top intact.
Eco Sensitivity
When enjoying the natural beauty of our island please remember to remain silent whilst in forest trails. It is best if nothing is left behind, and fires should be lit only in designated camp sites. Always seek the assistance of a trained guide and try to avoid lone excursions. In case of an animal encounter, please do not try to harass, chase, touch, handle or feed.
Driving in Sri Lanka
If you rent a car with the intent of driving on your own please be fully briefed on all formalities you need to be aware of while driving in Sri Lanka. Please do inquire about road rules, traffic conditions and be aware of other drivers who may not be as careful as you.
Sri Lanka's climate can be described as tropical, and quite hot. Its position between 5 and 10 north latitude endows the country with year-round warm weather, moderated by ocean winds and considerable moisture. The average temperature ranges from a low of 16 °C (60.8 °F) in Nuwara Eliya in the Central Highlands (where frost may occur for several days in the winter) to a high of 32 °C (89.6 °F) in Trincomalee on the northeast coast (where temperatures may reach 38 °C or 100.4 °F). The average yearly temperature for the country as a whole ranges from 28 to 30 °C (82.4 to 86.0 °F). Day and night temperatures may vary by 4 to 7 °C (7.2 to 12.6 °F). January is the coolest month, especially in the highlands, where overnight temperatures may fall to 5 °C (41 °F). May, the hottest period, precedes the summer monsoon rains.
Rainfall in Sri Lanka
The rainfall pattern is influenced by the monsoon winds of the Indian Ocean and Bay of Bengal and is marked by four seasons. The first is from mid-May to October, when winds originate in the southwest, bringing moisture from the Indian Ocean. When these winds encounter the slopes of the Central Highlands, they unload heavy rains on the mountain slopes and the southwestern sector of the island. Some of the windward slopes receive up to 2,500 mm (98.4 in) of rain per month, but the leeward slopes in the east and northeast receive little rain. The second season occurs in October and November, the intermonsoonal months. During this season, periodic squalls occur and sometimes tropical cyclones bring overcast skies and rains to the southwest, northeast, and eastern parts of the island. During the third season, December to March, monsoon winds come from the northeast, bringing moisture from the Bay of Bengal. The northeastern slopes of the mountains may be inundated with up to 1,250 mm (49.2 in) of rain during these months. Another intermonsoonal period occurs from March until mid-May, with light, variable winds and evening thundershowers.
Humidity is typically higher in the southwest and mountainous areas and depends on the seasonal patterns of rainfall. At Colombo, for example, daytime humidity stays above 70% all year, rising to over 90% percent during the monsoon season in June. Anuradhapura experiences a daytime low of 60% during the intermonsoonal month of March, but a high of 79% during the November and December rains. In the highlands, Kandy's daytime humidity usually ranges between 70 and 79%.
In Sri Lanka's heat the most practical and comfortable clothing is loose fitting, light cotton wear. This is applicable for most parts of the country as the weather is hot and humid. However the Hill Country is similar to an English spring with the temperature becoming colder in the night. In the mountains a good wool sweater is advisable for the nights while in the day time a jumper or light cardigan should suffice to keep the cold away. In general travelers should stick to casual wear which gives you more freedom while you explore the country. Women can wear bikinis when they are on the beach but when travelling around they need to be mindful of cultural sensitivities, so generally knee length shorts/dresses/skirts are advisable. Sleeveless tops or t-shirts are also fine unless one is visiting a religious site.
Travellers need to be properly attired when visiting sacred sites and shrines as revealing items of clothing are frowned upon and entry into such sites may be denied. Women travelers will need to cover their shoulder and legs so it is good to have a light scarf and sarong at hand to wear when necessary. Men should also note that long shorts or trousers paired with t-shirts or shirts would be the preferred option at religious sites. Sandals or flip flops are much more comfortable than shoes and when visiting temples or shrines they are easier to remove. However if planning on engaging in hikes up mountains or through jungle trails a good pair of socks and trainers would be the better option. Sunglasses, hats or caps are also a necessity to protect you from the bright rays of the sun.
Sri Lanka is still the magnet that draws the cognoscenti and the connoisseurs of gems, spices and porcelain on the Sri Lanka retains its claim to be the exotic emporium it was on the Silk Route with some adjustments to the modern world. Tea has replaced tusks.The wide array of items on offer range from exquisite blue sapphires to elegant handloom wraparounds of bewitching color combinations. Look around for that object d'art that will adorn your naughty nook if you have one!Costume Jeweler of Silver and other metals tell you that the craftsman have retained their eye for imaginative detail of their ancestors whose carvings enthralled you in the shrines you visited.
Your choice includes Sapphires that are blue, white and star Saphires, Chrysoberyl cat's eye, Spinel, Tourmaline, Garnet, Topaz, Moonstones and Zircon. In these days of derivatives diving for cover a precious stone of Beauty, clarity and durability is an investment for life.
Wraprounds, sarongs, kurthas and a wide range of blouses and shirts in tasteful colour contrasts form the apparel choice. Table linen and upholstery materiel promise both quality and value not forgetting the fact that they are hand spun cotton.
You can look for the porcelain and pottery as well as furniture of the Dutch period. You can always settle for the reproductions of furniture at much lower prices. If you are type who can wait for the paperback instead of the hard cover the latter is a wise proposition.
All the aromatic spices first sought by Romans who found that the Arabs had beaten them by a length and half are now available in attractive gift packs that can convey a charming message to the recipient.
Tea is available in all the blends and flavours beginning with Earl Grey once sought as the stuff from the Jewel of the Empire in the salons of Victorian England. The trendy teas that go as Sri Lanka Exports have more exotic flavours. The Tea can be bought in ingenious and innovative containers made of soft wood, polished hard wood, metal, leather, cloth and even reeds. Obviously the tea is vacuum packed.
Other than Gems and Antiques and Objects d'art can be bought while you are on your Sri Lanka tour from the many shops that cater to visitors or from super markets. In case you miss or forget an item you can always get it at the Sri Lanka airport.

Q: Why is TFS not getting connected Error 503 the service is temporarily overloaded While trying to connect to TFS, I am getting error "the service is temporarily overloaded".
Even the IE/ Edge is not able to connect to internet.
Both these issues must be interlinked.
I have tried many things given over web, nothing worked.

Sinclair, other information we don't see, Delph and Gil
Damian	 30 January 2015
I've not posted this week and I feel good about it too. I wanted to post on Sunday and Monday about Delph and Gil but I had read everything that I wanted to write so it felt like I was going to share an opinion that was widely shared and fairly pointless.
Today isn't that different, I'm still very happy about Delph signing an extension and his words were absolutely lovely to hear. And the goal from Gil, was simply special. It was a goal that makes you believe. And with the deal for Scott Sinclair looking like it's going to be confirmed any minute, there is reason to be optimistic.
But we all know about the optimism trap and how it can pull you in and make you believe things that are not real. It's like an old episode of Star Trek where they are pulled into a worm hole or something like that, it's not a nice place.
But and this is the point, regardless of that, it makes you feel good and sometimes, for a few minutes, it's nice to feel positive. And the CEO is saying the right things again. He even used the phrase actions speak louder than words. It's a trap, but at the same time, I don't mind getting tied up sometimes and if you haven't tried, it maybe you should and maybe you'd like it too.
And it starts with the foundations
And I know I'm banging the drum on this, but the CEO even mentioned it in his video interview on the BBC website about how the manager has changed the style of football part way through this season.
The passing game is the way forward. If we have the ball they can't score and all we have to work on then is creating the chances. It's the future and finally the manager seems to be working on it. He tried in his first season and he changed it, but now, hopefully he will stick to it.
I don't agree with the CEO on everything he has to say. I accept he has insights that we don't, but football is about results. You can have these data points that you want to improve and you measure them against the results and performances, but you can't get away from the results.
I hope they get better and finally with a CEO that is looking at the bigger picture, that might come, but it is results that fundamentally matter and sadly not all that other information that he has and we don't.
Arsenal at the weekend
And with Arsenal at the weekend, if and it's a big if, we get a result, things could go mental. Imagine the optimism if we got three points? I'm looking forward to it, because everything is possible, but the sad truth is that with all the support the manager has had this transfer window and possibly more to come, he's going to get much more time and ironically, that's not a bad thing.
But if things do not get much better by the end of the season, regardless of the words, the CEO Is probably right; supporters will want to see actions and in football, there are not many more that will be available to him.

Investments totaling £30M by Northern Ireland-based LCC Group and Belfast Harbour have put the city at the centre of the global supply chain for hi-tech coal.
Since opening last year, LCC's £12M facility has handled almost 500,000 tonnes of processed coal which is exported directly across the world to destinations such as Saudi Arabia, Australia, Scandinavia, mainland Europe and North Africa. LCC's investment and export opportunity is built upon a circa £20m investment by Belfast Harbour in recent years to enhance its deep water and cranage capability.
The LCC facility, the most sophisticated of its kind in the world, removes impurities from coal. The coal can then be used to produce ferro alloy and silica metals which are used in the manufacture of hi-end products such as solar panels and medical equipment. LCC imports coal to Belfast from Columbia for processing before onward export.
Over 130 direct and indirect jobs are supported by the operation including engineers, lab technicians and port support services.
"This £12m investment means that LCC operates one of the most environmentally friendly, state-of-the-art coal processing facilities to be found anywhere in the world. In addition to creating 30 new jobs and up to 100 indirect jobs in supporting sectors, the facility has put Belfast at the heart of the global hi-tech coal industry.
"In recent years Belfast Harbour has invested around £20m in a new deep-water quay and new larger cranes to enhance its bulk cargo operations in anticipation of our customers' future needs. This has enabled the Port to handle ever larger vessels and accommodate LCC's new facility beside its main bulk handling quay at Stormont Wharf.
This week Belfast Harbour handled a shipment of 20,000 tonnes of processed coal destined for Saudi Arabia.


I should configure the integration between UIM in SaaS (IM DXI) and SOI on premise, using UIM connector.
Is it possible? Is there anyone who has already done it?
I spoke with PM, this integration have to be built, it's not available OOTB.
Brahma, Britta_Hoffner - Can you confirm if this is possible please?
Hello Claudio, I´m not very familiar with UIM Saas but I think you are able to install a robot on a server outside of Saas to connect to your primary hub. If this is the case you can install the UIM connector on this robot to be able to retreive the Alarms from the Catalyst Alarm Queue on the primary hub and the CIs from the UIM database and publish the data into SOI.
Hello Claudio, thanks for this information. So we should create an ideation for this here in the community. I will mark this thread as answered.


! This is NOT a method of direct communication with ANGIE'S FLORAL DESIGN & GIFTS for purposes of ordering or rectifying problems.
I ordered my floral bouquet online, and everything was delivered perfectly on time!
We live in Houston & had ordered funeral flowers for family, we were very pleased with the arrival time and the beautiful arrangement! We highly recommend Angie's!!
Great service very fast with delivery! Sent a gift basket for Valentine's Day and the balloon was awesome! My only complaint is I asked to put chocolate bars with no nuts as the recipient doesn't like them, and almost all of the chocolate had nuts. If not for that I'd be raving about them.
Awesome flowers and customer service.
My husband was staying in El Paso and I wanted to send him a little snack basket for Saint Nikolaus day. This was a great option delivered on time and he was very surprised and loved it!
Ordering online was seamless. The flowers were delivered on time, and the recipient said they were beautiful. I would use Angies again, and recommend to others.
Love the combination of colors and the fullness of the arrangement, also by getting them early during the day it made my day more lovely.
Wonderful service. Item delivered on time and proper location for my parent's birthday during a Mother's Day flower order blitz. Very pleased.
The sympathy bouquet arrive on time and I was told by the receiver that they remained fresh for almost 8 days. Thank you so much for the assistance so that I could let my adopted family in El Paso know that I was thinking of them from Irving Texas.
Everything was great....The only problem I saw was the bear was not large enough to my standards. Overall she was surprise, intent met. Thank you.
Flowers and fruit was nice Delivered on time. Thanks.

I spoke to Veronica, and she has helped me tremendously, very cordial and nice. She helped me select and advised me on a some options I could give for the occasion I needed. Since I live out of state she made me feel at ease and helped me with the purchase and delivery for my employee who lives in Texas. Id hope to use them again but for another occasion.
Incredibly happy with my flower arangement ordered on line during non-business hours. I couldn't have picked a better selection myself. Angie's Floral Design is the best! Thank you!

Thank you Veronica, for being so courteous you were so helpful. The flower arrangement is lovely.
Thank you, Veronica, for the beautiful arrangement you made for my family in their time of sorrow. They were amazed & called to tell me they were the most beautiful flowers they had ever seen. Everyone asked who made them & where they came from. Thank you so much for the wonderful job you did.
I live in Hawaii and every time I need an arrangement for my love ones I see Veronica. Thank you Veronica for the best service in town. I highly recommend going to them.
i was very please with the service i received by veronica, very professional thank you Veronica..
Very pleased with the Flowers. Veronica went the extra mile to get my flower request.
Ordered a floral arrangement for Mother's day from out of town. Apparently, what I ordered online was no longer available. Veronica contacted me personally, apologized, and rectified the problem. We ended up with a beautiful arrangement comparable to what I had ordered.
Wonderful flowers and customer service is excellent. Will order from them more often.
Our organization, The Cancer & Chronic Disease Consortium of El Paso contacted Angie's Floral Design to see if we would be able to ask for a design for a big event to honor cancer survivors. Veronica, the owner, was extremely nice to work with and generously donated a BEAUTIFUL arrangement for our registration table. The flowers were in gorgeous condition - fresh, fragrant and vibrant. We were overwhelmed by the size of the arrangement and the pretty vase it came in. We will definitely be ordering again from Veronica and hope to work with her in the future!
Exelente servicio,super amable Veronica y super eficaz,especial con el cliente alegre y muy dinamica con su atencion se los recomiendo Angie's floral para un bonito detalle floral para un ser querido,ho a alguien muy en especial,regalarle un bonito detalle floral y hacer a esa persona muy feliz cualquier duda ho pregunta,preguntar por Veronica.

Rusçuklu Çelebizade Şerif Hasan Paşa (? - 12 o 13 de febrer de 1791) fou gran visir otomà fill d'un agha dels geníssers.

Va participar el 1769 com a cap de voluntaris (serdengečdi aghasi) en l'expedició del kan de Crimea a Ucraïna i a la tornada fou ascendit a kapudji bashi. L'11 de setembre de 1773 fou nomenat comandant de Rusčuk amb rang de visir, i després traslladat a Silistra, que va defensar d'un atac rus. Després de la pau (juliol) va caure en desgràcia i va estar uns anys desterrat a Gümüldjina i a Salònica.

El 1787, en esclatar la guerra amb Rússia, va rebre alguns comandaments militars a la regió del Danubi. Mort Cezayirli Gazi Hasan Paixà, va ser nomenat gran visir el 16 d'abril de 1790 i a més serdar-i ekrem (comandant en cap) càrrecs que havia ocupat el difunt. El 8 de juny de 1790 el seu germà Seyyid Mehmed va derrotar els austríacs a Yergögü, però en canvi Sherif no va aconseguir res contra els russos i avançat l'any aquestos van conquerir les fortaleses de Kili, Tulča, Isadjka i Izmail. En l'aspecte administratiu també es van detectar diversos abusos i arbitrarietats; el sultà va ordenar el seu assassinat que va portar a terme un sicari al quarter de Shumla (o Shummu) la nit del 12 al 13 de febrer de 1791.

Insurance Takes On Millennials
Jeff Spencer, adviser at Penn Mutual's Concord Wealth Management, is included in Ben Mattlin's Financial Advisor article discussing insurance strategies that address millennial needs. "With millennials, the best way is to talk about how you can use it before retirement, as well as the power of having a non-market-correlated asset in retirement.

Promoting Gender Diversity in Business
Eileen McDonnell, chairman and CEO of Penn Mutual, is featured on Bloomberg Radio's "Bloomberg Markets" discussing the importance of inclusive, gender diverse work environments.

Selflessness natural for Glenshaw native Nick Carey
Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette features Nick Carey, winner of Penn Mutual's fourth annual Life of Significance Award, in an article highlighting his recognition.

For a tree to grow tall and vast the roots must run deep and broad.
Such does Game Plan. The spirit and words that come from Brett are both vast and deep, there is more than ink on these pages, there are also tears.
Every word carefully chosen to speak life into men so to birth hope and freedom. We all often wonder who we are and what is the heaven breathed calling on our lives, it is simple is to be Christlike, like christ this is where we find our identity and providence calling.
I believe, men, God will speak to you through the ink in these pages, they will come alive as God breathes over them and speaks life into Dreams, Identity, Legacy and power you have been given.
Game Plan is a God vision, God breathed dead bones come alive kind of book, I know that it is not just a book, but a heart and soul expressed on paper as I know Brett's heart for men comes from a brokenness and strength that is a beautiful thing when in the hands of our creator, our life giver our redeemer and our God.
I pray you are watered by Game Plan, my heart is that your roots run deep as you prosper and grow in relationship with a trustworthy father, a father of your destiny, the father who loves you and will never ever fail you.
David received this revelation thousands of years ago, well before Paul wrote the letter to the church in Ephesus, that God knows the number of our days, before we have even drawn a single breath, He has our days numbered, He knows the sum of them. Our days are not just numbered, they are precious to Him, because they are the totality of our mortal existence, but they are the beginning of our eternity. He wants to set us up for a win. In fact, He has! – the choice is ours to take it or not.
When we live continually measuring ourselves against each other, we will find cause to dismiss our value and worth and ultimately our success. We will turn to the negative way of thinking that says we have failed or that we are a failure. You are NOT your paycheque, you are NOT your address or your postcode. You are NOT your job title or job description, you are NOT your list of achievements. YOU ARE NOT THE SUM TOTAL OF YOUR FAILURES! If you are on God's team, if you have surrendered your life's Lordship over to Jesus Christ, you are destined for success. You are His son.

That the CEO of the Renewable Fuels Association would come out fighting after the 2013 annus horribilis was to be expected. When Bob Dinneen, a man they've come to call the Reverend in these parts because of his full throttle evangelisin' on the blendstock's position in the USA, took the stage to deliver the keynote opening address to the 2014 National Ethanol Conference last week, the packed auditorium knew broadly what to expect.
Threading that motif throughout the 20-minute speech, Dinneen's targets over the course of the three-day conference stretched far beyond just the sinews of US government. Swinging the cudgel at the environmental lobby, Big Oil, protagonists of the energy-driving-up-food-prices argument, the shale miracle, dependence on foreigners and security of supply, the railroads… even the EU and European ethanol producers all wandered into range of Dinneen's blunderbuss.
It was the rallying cry that the industry expected, delivered passionately to a chamber of the converted and the assembled media latched on to the simple message.
Platts Biofuelscan covers the latest worldwide biofuel news and prices. It provides a daily summary of market events and developments along with closing market price assessments from the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Platts Biofuelscan includes prices assessmenst for ethanol, ETBE, renewal indentification number (RIN) biofuels.
For the Renewable Fuels Association, Dinneen's DC-based voice of the ethanol business, 2013 was the stuff of nightmare. Starting with an attempt to repeal the Renewable Fuel Standard sponsored by three senators, the year culminated in a leak of proposals from the EPA — the august government agency that had until then stood firm as friend of the biofuel sector — that set out cuts to the RFS.
Citing important realities — limitations in gasoline consumption which has given rise to the blend wall and fears over the industry's ability to produce enough ethanol to meet the country's domestic requirements — the EPA's apparent change of heart was a potential hammer-blow seemingly delivered by one of the sector's greatest allies.
Suddenly, ethanol's bedrock foundations looked to be undermined; suddenly, mandates seemed to be nestled amid shifting (tar) sands. In the battle of two of US energy's biggest lobby groups ($144 million for Oil & Gas v $43 million for 'misc energy' according to opensecrets.org), the old enemy, Big Oil, had clearly taken the upper hand.
A barnstorming performance was required.
Harking back to the inception of the RFS, Dinneen praised it as "visionary legislation" and reminded all in the room that, by any measure, it had been a remarkable success.
It is that umbrella legislation, passed initially in 2007, that has driven the US ethanol industry and production to make it the most efficient on earth. Ethanol means that the US now only relies on the rest of the world for 35% of its clean product supply, with the RFA estimating that without ethanol in the mix, foreign imports would still account for 41% of its supply.
Slamming the torrent of misinformation that the EPA seemed to have been taken in by, Dinneen went on to highlight the revitalization of rural America achieved by the RFS and put clear green pastures between ethanol and corn prices.
"More corn is available, and corn prices are lower than when the RFS was introduced," was the simple rebuttal to the claim that energy and food don't mix. The USDA is pretty clear on this too, since 2006 the total acreage planted for corn has risen from 78 million acres in 2006 to peak at 97 million acres in 2012, with yields and production levels rising over the same period. The clear mandates on energy drove further investment and improvements in yields and crop sizes.
Ultimately, without the firm backing of government and mandates that aren't shrouded in uncertainty, the hands of the sector are tied. And, in a tacit acknowledgement of that, the rallying cry morphed into a call to take matters into the industry's own hands.
"It is up to us — the ethanol industry itself — to focus on the logistics. Tear down that blend wall — we need to do this ourselves, brick by brick, station by station," Dinneen urged, citing calculations that 60 million miles have now been driven on E15, with no reports of damage to vehicles. And, in another blunt acknowledgement that life at home ain't what it used to be, Dinneen set the industry's eyes firmly on other markets.
The RFA is already waist-deep in challenging the EU's anti-dumping measures that have seen tariffs slapped on US exports to the trading bloc, with 2013 exports likely to be the third highest on record, behind 2011 and 2012. But opinion remains firmly divided — a political blog from the heart of corn country, iowawatchdog.org, drew a direct contrast between the USDA's expectation that farm incomes would likely fall sharply through 2014 while ethanol producers enjoyed record profits through the final quarter of 2013.
"Difficult is what we do. The seemingly impossible just takes a little longer," Dinneen said, steeling himself and his audience for what could be a very long fight.
It's a fight the Reverend of of Renewable Fuels can't afford to lose, and there's every sign that Dinneen's RFA intends to carry that fight right to the heart of its opponent. During his closing remarks, Dinneen confirmed the 2015 NEC would be "going into the belly of the beast," as the RFA plants its flag deep in JR Ewing country, installing the conference in a resort just outside Dallas.
The reception might not be as hot as you would expect from this incursion… according to data presented by Bruce Babcock, Cargill Chair of Energy Economics at Iowa State University, Texas is home to over 1.6 million flex vehicles — those cars that are able to run on ethanol blends of up to 85%.
However, if you want to fill up with E85, only some 3,280 gas stations out of the total 120,000-plus stations in the US actually supply the grade. The potential is undoubtedly there. Whether ethanol's industry has the capacity and financial clout to make it happen remains to be seen.


Do you ever feel like your prayers have no power? Do you wonder if you even really know how to pray? It is interesting to note that as the disciples travel with Jesus, they never asked him to teach them to be great teachers, like he is, or to show them how to perform miracles. However, one thing about Jesus impresses them so much they want to know how to pray. They asked, Lord, "Teach us to pray" Luke 11:1.
To answer that question, Jesus shares with them what we today call the Lord's prayer or the model prayer. And this prayer, Jesus provides the all the principles necessary to have a journey into powerful prayer.
Prayer is the most important thing we can do. Jesus gives us principles to apply to every prayer we pray. In prayer we talk to God and God talks to us through his Word, it's also important to pray the Word of God.

Daily painting has been integrated into my morning meditation, an unexpected benefit having created a daily routine of watercolor painting every morning. I got so absorbed into today's flower that, much to the dismay of the dog I'm caring for, I blocked out and ignored everything else around me for at least 30 minutes. When I finished, I saw the tea that I usually drink before starting to paint on the counter untouched with the tea bag in it.
I continued to focus on creating more exciting greens with today's Lotus flower watercolor painting. I mixed my greens this time using Winsor Newton French Ultramarine Blue and Daniel Smith Lemon Yellow paints (with a touch of Winsor Newton Permanent Rose).
After it was dry, I went back and layered in some French Ultramarine Blue, Winsor Newton Viridian, and Winsor Newton Sap Green. The greens work in this painting for me, and I'll continue to use Winsor Newton Viridian and Sap Green paints as glazing colors.
For the petals, I used a mixture of Winsor Newton Permanent Rose and Daniel Smith Permanent Yellow Deep. The mixture made a beautiful salmon color to which I had to add some more Permanent Rose to shift it back into the reds. I feel this is a better magenta color match for the Manchurian Lotus flower.
The center of the flower that holds the seeds starts out as a creamy yellow color that turns a sap green-like color as the flower petal ages and dies. When its young, the yellow color comes through the red leaves causing it to have a soft salmon glaze that is beautiful.

Avon-on-the-Lake Garden Club helps bring portable Christmas cheer
Three of the teacup Oasis foam Christmas trees at Towne Center Main Street Care in Avon Lake. (Martin McConnell — The Morning Journal)
By Martin McConnell | mmcconnell@morningjournal.com |
The Avon-on-the-Lake Garden Club is bringing portable holiday cheer to those who may not be home for Christmas this season.
With the help of Yvonne Craigo's art class at Avon Lake High School, the club recently built and delivered over 50 handmade Oasis tree stands to Towne Center Main Street Care, 500 Community Drive in Avon Lake.
The stands were put into Christmas-themed teacups, fashioned into miniature Christmas trees using boxwood, live holly, and other festive foliage, and were delivered Dec. 5 to Main Street Care.
The project was organized by Avon Lake resident Bobbe Rudge, a member of the Avon-on-the-Lake Garden Club and longtime floral design expert.
After joining the garden club in November 2021, Rudge said she found the ability to scratch her floral designer itch through flower shows, and eventually, service projects.
"These kids walked in… in all kinds of outfits, and all kinds of skill levels," she said. "They went from being, 'Really? Do we have to do this?' to absolutely everyone having a smile on their face.
"I was so pleased with my team, and I was absolutely delighted when I saw their faces after they had done these."
Rudge said she acquired over 100 pounds of boxwood from the Pacific northwest for various designs this holiday season.
The intent of this service project with the school was to spread the holiday spirit to those in nursing homes or hospitals who cannot experience Christmas at home this year.
"It was my understanding that… it would go to patients who are confined to the hospital, who just don't have much of a Christmas," Rudge said. "These are designed to be in a room, or on a tray, or something like that.
"It's a portable Christmas."
The Oasis foam cones used for the teacup designs are certified biodegradable, and are designed to maximize floral lifespans.
Rudge explained that her garden club projects and shows have revolved around the same philosophy as her old business: everything must be environmentally sustainable.
"Nothing is plastic, or silk or anything like that," she said. "They're all natural materials, (and) that's it. Didn't dye flowers, except on St. Patrick's Day for green carnations."
The garden club still is in the process of creating Christmas joy for others.
Rudge and her fellow garden clubmates are setting up another workshop for Dec. 13 at Avon Lake's Old Firehouse Community Center.
The workshop already is sold out, she said.
"I like to call it a no-fail kind of project," Rudge said. "People love as it develops, (and) they say, 'I'm creating this.' It's a great project, and everybody loves to do their own trees."
While nothing is set in stone, the garden club plans to run an annual plant sale in the spring, she said.
There also may be more festive projects in the club's future for next holiday season, Rudge said.
"Let me put it this way: there are always possibilities ahead," she said.
