Every marketing company out there wants to be your "marketing partner," but do they really know what that means? Do you know what it means? You read words like integrated, holistic, and synergistic, but do these words really help you determine the best fit for your needs? Do they tell you how they'll solve your pain?
A great marketing partner is so much more than a tagline or collection of clever words. You deserve someone who will stand beside you and offer more than experience and knowledge. A true partner will collaborate with you to ensure the best possible outcome—for you, and not for the marketing company.
To find this perfect partner, this checklist just might help.
A true marketing partner leads the way with innovative ideas rather than following behind other trailblazers. You want someone who's willing to work with you to develop fresh, original, groundbreaking ideas. This is also someone who sees the big picture but also delves into the nitty-gritty details.
A thought leader isn't afraid to get their hands dirty. This partner digs right in with you every day to help develop strategies, hone your current techniques, and push you to new creative heights. The best partner makes you an even better version of yourself.
It's a heartbreaking thought, but true nonetheless. With many marketing firms, you'll be a client on a long list of other clients. You'll be a paycheck and a responsibility. You won't, however, be their priority. The perfect marketing partner will be your champion.
You deserve someone who stays engaged at all times, who knows where you've been, where you are, and where you're going. Your marketing partner should be your cheerleader and mentor, someone who knows your brand inside out and meets all your brand standards.
Someone who cheers you on and backs you up also sounds like someone who's behind you every step of the way. Believe it or not, you don't want someone who's behind you; you want someone who's always beside you.
The marketing partner who's standing beside you knows your deadlines, your budget, and your challenges. They're right there, ready to roll up their sleeves and help you get the job done. If your partner is behind you, they have to catch up before they can lend a hand, right?
The best marketing partner is knowledgeable and unafraid to tell you when you're moving down the wrong path. They also will be sure to share this advice in a collaborative way. The last thing you need is a know-it-all on the case.
You shouldn't have to wait for your marketing agency to come to you with suggestions, either. The best partners are approachable and willing to listen to your concerns and ideas. They'll sit down and talk through the problems and solutions until you both agree on the right path. If their experience suggests you're still on the wrong path, they'll gently nudge until you're walking side by side again.
Doesn't this sound like a true partnership? If you're looking for a partner just like this, we're here for you. With years of experience walking alongside small businesses and Fortune 500 companies, we know what true relationships look like. To see for yourself, just give us a call.

John Mitchel was born in County Derry near the town of Dungiven on November 3 1815.
His father was a Presbyterian Minister and was called to serve in Newry. The family moved to Drumalane House.
Young John went to the school of Dr Henderson in Hill Street along with his life-time friend and soon to be relation John Martin, another Newry republican hero of Presbyterian stock. In the mid 1830s Mitchel graduated from Trinity College Dublin and was sent to Derry to work in the law office of his uncle.
It was about this time that he met and married Jenny Verner of Newry, the daughter of a ship's Captain. They remained happily together (when not separated by enforced exile) until John's death, thirty eight years later. In 1840 John Mitchel was sworn in as Attorney at Law. His church minister father died the same year. John and Jenny moved to the Banbridge area where he worked as a partner in the firm of Frazers. Mitchel worked hard at his legal practice, gaining a high reputation from all communities.
Our country was reeling from the punitive fiscal, trading, economic and financial measures introduced by the Imperial Government under the Act of Union designed to permit unfair advantage to England over Ireland in these areas. Organised resistance had been dealt a fatal blow by the massacres ordered in the previous generation against the United Irishmen and their supporters of the 1798 Rebellion. Few were prepared to raise a voice in protest.
John Mitchel entered the political arena when he began writing for the Young Irelander newspaper 'The Nation'. In 1846 he replaced Thomas Davis – that other great resistance hero – as leader writer for the paper and the tone became immediately much more belligerent. For the following two years leading up to the 1848 uprising, Mitchel wrote nearly all the paper's political articles, invoking the hatred, wrath and finally reaction of the government while becoming the darling of the republican movement throughout the country. These writings reveal Mitchel's writings at their best, surpassing even those of his illustrious predecessor.
John Mitchel, Jail Journal, 1854.
Mitchel called for violent, direct, military action to be instigated to drive the English out of Ireland. His open advocacy of armed rebellion was not supported by his more cautious, constitutionally minded colleagues so Mitchel left 'The Nation' early in 1848 and established his own radical newspaper 'The United Irishman'. Through this he called for the overthrow of the landlord system and the establishment of an Irish Republic.
Three and a half months after its first publication, Mitchel was arrested by a frightened and uneasy government. It rushed through a special law at Westminster designed to deal specifically with him. This was the Treason Felony Act. John Mitchel was convicted by a packed jury and sentenced to fourteen years transportation. Without him the Irish rebels, weakened by three years of famine were unable to spark support from the defeated and disillusioned people and the Irish Rebellion of 1848 was the least successful of all those rebellions that swept Europe in that fateful year.
Mitchel was first exiled to Bermuda. A year later he was moved to Cape Colony and finally to Van Dieman's Land (Tasmania) where he lived under parole, until he escaped to America five years later. He was well received by Irish exile in New York where he again established a successful paper 'The Citizen'. Unfortunately in the American Civil War of the mid-sixties, Mitchel supported the Confederacy and the cause of slavery.
In 1875 Mitchel returned to Ireland and won a parliamentary seat in Tipperary, under an abstentionist ticket. His health had deteriorated and he was spending much of his days bed-ridden in Dromalane House. He died peacefully on 20 March 1875 and was buried alongside his parent in the Presbyterian Old Meeting House Green in High Street, Newry. His friend (Honest) John Martin caught a chill attending his funeral and himself died a few days later.
Mitchel's surviving oeuvre – besides his newspaper articles – include 'Jail Journal', 'Last Conquest of Ireland', 'Life of Aodh O'Neill', 'Crusade of the Period' and 'A History of Ireland'. A statue in tribute stands in St Colman's Park and many political and Gaelic clubs of the town have adopted his name in honour.
There remain, even in our town those who call themselves Irish, who know this to be a valid record, and still choose to excuse the Imperial Government, to explain the 'poor' landlords' heartlessness, to argue 'laisser-faire' economics, to defend the Union, to vilify Mitchel in other fields of thought and endeavour.

The audio is powered by an ALC1150 which compliments the Intel Azalia processor in the PCH and two Texas Instruments NE5532 are used to amplify the backpanel and front panel audio outputs. Eight Nichicon gold 100uF electrolytic audio capacitors are used for the analog domain and the audio circuitry is isolated to reduce noise.
The Fatal1ty X99X Killer has two wired NICs, one utilizes Intel's i218v and the other is a Qualcomm Killer e2200.
An ASMedia ASM1142 provides a single USB 3.1 type-C (reversible) port from two PCI-E lanes for the, and an ASMedia ASM1074 is a USB 3.0 hub controller which takes one USB 3.0 port and expands it into the four USB 3.0 ports on the back panel. The internal USB 3.0 headers are directly connected to the Intel PCH.
The Ultra M.2 slot will take its bandwidth from the last 16x slot through two NXP L04083B quick switches which are wired to the CPU's PCI-E 3.0 controller. It can provide up to 32Gb/s bandwidth, however, for SATA based M.2 drives the Ultra M.2 port needs an SATA link to the PCH which is provided through SSATA3_2 and an NXP L04083B. An ASMedia 1456 switches bandwidth from the SSATA3_3 port to the eSATA port on the back panel. This switching is all sound and performance won't take a hit as ports are just being traded and not shared.
To expand the USB 3.1 capabilities of the Fatal1ty X99X Killer/3.1 even more, ASRock provides a 2x A-Type USB 3.1 card. The A -Type USB 3.1 connector is backward compatible with USB 3.0, 2.0, and 1.0. This card won't fit in a PCI-E 1x slot and needs a full sized or half sized slot. It uses an ASMedia ASM1142 and a Molex connector to provide the power that is required by USB 3.1. In total the board has three USB 3.1 connectors.
A nuvoTon NCT6791D provides SuperIO functionality and the PS/2 port on the backpanel. A Texas Instruments GD75232 provides drivers and receivers for the COM port.

Plenty of goals this week with only one clean sheet going into Monday's clash at Villa Park. The game of the weekend came at the Emirates with Arsenal hitting 6 against Blackburn, who themselves looked useful in the first half. Fabregas was incredible (getting a goal, 4 assists and 3 bonus points) and that performance should end any doubt there was over my ranking of him in line with - if not ahead 0f - Gerrard and Lampard this season. With Van Persie able to contribute goals, assists and bonus points, he also showed his fantasy class and that he can rightfully be considered alongside the top tier of strikers in the Premier League.
My predictions were pretty mixed the clean sheet rankings being rendered useless by the fact that only two teams kept one, one of which was Portsmouth on the road which not many would have predicted. The other was Chelsea which I did get - much to criticism of a few readers - which really wasn't all that surprising. Chelsea are very tight at home and have still only surrendered one goal in six games in all competitions. Ancelotti played a very narrow team including Deco and Ballack in place of wide men like Malouda, Kalou or Cole. Liverpool failed to capitalise on that and Chelsea dominated the middle of the park and stopped Gerrard running the game. Arsenal's fixtures look better over the next few weeks but I would rank Chelsea as the best team defense right now, way ahead to United and Liverpool at this point.
My captaincy rankings were decent with Fabregas, Van Persie all contributing good or great games while Rooney and Lennon disappointed. Rooney was embarrassing against Sunderland and his petulant and childish behaviour should concern fantasy managers who paid 11m+ for his services. In his career he has been streaky when it comes to goals and the international weekend might be a welcome break. Note that United travel to both Liverpool and Chelsea in the next 3 weeks so it might be worth looking at moving Rooney after week 9's visit of Bolton (who Rooney normally does well against).
Defensively, City have pretty good looking fixtures with only three troubling fixtures (@Liv, Che and @Tot) between now and week 21. Richards was my pick there but with Zabaleta starting the last two I think Bridge becomes the best pickup at Eastlands. Zabaleta himself is 5m so might be worth a punt but I could see Richards back in fold at some point so I'd go with Bridge who should play every week barring injury. Aside from the week 11 trip to the Emirates I also like Spurs avoid the coming weeks, despite conceding two to Bolton this week. At 5.1m I think Assou Ekotto remains the best pick here, though if you jump on him quick you should be able to make a quick buck on Corluka (5.3) who will no doubt get the attention of other owners following his goal this week.
I love City's attacking fixtures with home games to Hull (week 14) and Burnley (week 12) looking particularly tasty. After his return tonight against Villa I think Adebayor is a buy and - along with Van Persie - is the pick of the premium strikers over the next 6 weeks. Ireland was benched tonight against Villa and is no longer worthy of fantasy consideration while Wright Phillips form concerns me (I sold him) and I think better options can be found. Everton also have good attacking fixtures and I like Louis Saha as a midprice option for those looking to differentiate themselves from Darren Bent. Blog poster dhs_media_ssharp has been singing the praises of Bilyaletdinov (6.5) and the chalkboard of his first league start shows why. Plenty of balls played into the danger zone, including corners which he is very accomplished with. Not a total steal at 6.5 but there is a gap in talent at that price range and with the upcoming fixtures I like the young Russian to contribute some fantasy points soon.
Thomas Vermaelen should hit 7m after his goal this weekend and I think he is fairly priced based on his superior outfield skills. I do not normally pick defenders based on the goalscoring but Vermaelen has shown he isn't simply a 'head the odd corner in' type of centre back. Defensively Arsenal's fixtures aren't amazing but good enough to consider Vermaelen, who should still give a small price rise if you move quickly.
Cesc Fabregas has already risen to 10.8 but I could see this hitting 10.9 or even 11.0 by the time the international break is over. Even a that price he is still considerably less than Gerrard and Lampard and provides better value. Still a buy option in my eyes.
Darren Bent has 5 in his last 4 and the goal at Old Trafford shows he can do it against the big boys too. Back to back bonus awards are also welcome and I would set a long term projection of 8m for Bent as managers continue to move over to putting their money in strikers.
Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard have net transfers out of fifteen and ten thousand and Lampard's price has fallen to 12.4m. The man himself insists the goals will come but until he hits the net from open play in the league I would follow this trend and move your cash into premium strikers before the pair's prices fall further.
As noted above, Wayne Rooney was poor this week and with a tough schedule to come some owners could switch to Drogba, Torres or Adebayor causing the England striker's value to fall a bit.
I just swapped SWP for Lennon but I'm worried I am too late to the party. I still distrust Ballack's playing time but Ancelotti does seem to like him. I like Milner alot if you can use the money elsewhere.
Just finished watching Ash Young v SWP and wasnt too impressed with either. Tim Cahill is probably due a goal or two though i havent seem him play much so I dont know what his form is like.
Lennon is the safe pick, Cahill has the most upside while Milner gives the best value. Id therefore go Lennon unless the extra 1m can really upgrade another position.
I was able to sell Lampard before his price dropped and picked up Cesc before his price rose.
I have an addition transfer this week. I thinking of exchanging Collins for Baines. I fashion Baines as a "poor's man" Vermaleen.
IMO, Rooney should be kept. I have a feeling his goal scoring would not dry up, even though he had a terrible performance against Sunderland. IMO, Man Utd played terribly poor. He is overpriced, but if he scores, he's almost guaranteed bonus points.
Dre - I like Baines alot and have been looking at him myself. Penalties, corners and even some free kicks give him excellent value considering the talent he has on the end of them (ie Cahill). Everton have good fixtures for 4 weeks but then they play 4 of the top 6 sides, and despite the double gameweek I would want rid of Baines by that point. For now, he is a nice option though.
Gaffer - I'm undecided about Rooney and while I like him over the season i think it might be worth ditching him after week 9 for Drogba, Van Persie or Adebayor and then bring him back if you so desire at a lower price after the Chelsea game in week 12.
Another good write up. I didn't do to well this week but im confident for next week having ditched benayoun & SWP.
On the subject of Tim Cahill, he hasn't been on top of his from lately, missed an absolute sitter on thursdays european game and 2 very easy chances against stoke that you would normaly bet on him scoring. On the up side he is still getting into all the right area's, starts nearly every game and like you said, is deffinatly due a goal.

Burma: 'Emotions' Get The Better Of Minister
August 13, 2011 Democratic Voice of Burma 0 Comments
By Democratic Voice of Burma
By Ahunt Phone Myat
Burma's information minister Kyan Hsan was forced to leave a government press conference today after refusing to answer questions pitched by journalists which he said made him "emotional".
Kyan Hsan, who effectively acts as Naypyidaw's spokesperson, had led the first press conference of the new government in the capital this afternoon.
But he reportedly broke down in tears after being asked when the government would begin dialogue over the multiple conflicts raging in Burma's border regions and issues regarding the woeful state of the country's economy. The meeting was then suspended for several minutes.
"He began to have tears in his eyes and cried as he was answering questions [from a reporter] about how [the government's] worked for the good of their country," a source at the conference told DVB today.
A secret audio file obtained by DVB quoted Kyaw Hsan as saying, upon his return to the meeting, that "it [the breakdown] happened as I was speaking.
"I would like to tell [the journalists present] to keep this private as the media may think I did this because I didn't want or wasn't able to answer the questions. I want to tell you to understand me for feeling emotional as I was giving my answer."
The 40-minute long conference featured questions from more than 10 journalists. It follows the recent formation of the Spokespersons and Information Team, led by Kyaw Hsan, which effectively acts as a public relations arm of the new government.
Thein Sein's administration has gone on something of a media offensive as it has struggled to shed its reputation as a civilian extension of the military junta that ruled Burma in various guises since 1962.
Although it released opposition icon Aung San Suu Kyi shortly after the November 2010 elections and appears to be opening up somewhat towards the political opposition, critics claim that the escalation of civil wars in the border regions and continued human rights abuses show that little reform has taken place.

Kevin Gates Is A Fool For This Over/Under Interview
blame it on Shake April 1, 2016
Since its launch in 2011, Pitchfork's ongoing Over/Under segment has been one of my favorites. From Danny Brown's hate for soggy cereal to Vince Staples' take on KFC and Bill Nye the Science Guy, the interview series has birthed an outrageous number of hilarious "wtf" moments from the likes of Action Bronson, Wiz Khalifa, Ghostface Killah, Run the Jewels, and many others.
Kevin Gates is next up and the result is no different. With under five minutes on the clock, the Baton Rouge native manages to call Winnie the Pooh a drug addict, praise his "lil baby" Taylor Swift Adele, reimagine the final scene of Titanic with Leonardo DiCaprio, and, best of all, sing Red Hot Chili Peppers, Blink 182, and Panic! At the Disco.
Do yourself a favor and witness the hilarity above.
Gates also revisited his ISLAH debut with a video he shot in Berlin, Germany for "Not The Only One." Check it below.

IIRC it was said that the week of April 3, 2011 would be a nice week to be in Tokyo or Kyoto.
Thanks HT. Does that say I'm unlikely to see fall color in the Japan Alps the first week of October?
Will there still be colors in Harajuku in early December?
Thank you, chinese_chicken, that's reassuring.
HT, we'll vaguely cross paths, as I'll be in Tokyo then Hakone the last few days in November.

    int[] to = new int[] { R.id.name_row };
    ListAdapter mAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this,
            R.layout.contact_list_row, cursor, columns, to);
    this.setListAdapter(mAdapter);

which binds my contacts names no my listadapter. Every row is a checkedtext view, so know I want to create a method to retrieve my checked items, but I can't get it to work. Can some one point me in the right direction?

A: I'm not 100% sure about checkboxes but I've done this for buttons and other elements and, having had a quick look around, I think this method is the same.
Insert android:onClick="methodName" in the checkbox element layout XML.
in your code have something similar to this function:
//Called from XML
public void methodName(View view) {
    int cursorPosition= getListView().getPositionForView(view);
    Bundle itemData = (Bundle) mAdapter.getItem(cursorPosition);
    // do something with data
}

A: So I found my way. The problem was that I was using checked_positions.get(i) instead of checked_positions.valueAt(i).
            ListView lv = getListView();
            SparseBooleanArray checked_positions = lv.getCheckedItemPositions();
            for (int i = 0; i < checked_positions.size(); i++) {
                Log.d(TAG, "Checked " + i + " Value " + checked_positions.valueAt(i));
                if (checked_positions.valueAt(i)) {
                    Cursor ctv = (Cursor) lv.getItemAtPosition(checked_positions.keyAt(i));
                }
            }

History of Meherana
A group drawn from members of the Southern and Northern California Baba Centers and other Baba groups met during 1992 and 1993 for weekend-long discussions about the development of a center dedicated to Avatar Meher Baba in Mariposa, California. Over a year's time the group discussed the purposes and requirements for establishing such a center, wrote the corporation's articles and bylaws. On May 5, 1993 Meherana was incorporated as a non-profit 501(3)(c) corporation and we began our search for land. As a group we developed 6 criteria for land search: 1) at least 40 acres, 2) 2000 ft – 3800 ft elevation, 3) adjoining or near National Forest, 4) at least 20 acres of gentle slope of tillable land, 5) near a paved road with easy access and 6) a good water source. We also decided the center should be a year-round spiritual retreat for those with an interest in Avatar Meher Baba. It was also decided that we would base the center's purposes on inspirations from the Universal Ashram Scheme that Baba developed in 1939. We would not take the Universal Ashram Scheme literally but feel free to interpret it in our own way.
In November 1993, 189.4 acres of land was purchased and in July 2003 an additional 101 acres, adjacent to the first parcel, was purchased. Both parcels met the land search criteria.
Meherana is located on 289 acres in Mariposa County, California, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, about an hour's drive from Yosemite National Park. The property features rolling hills, ephemeral creeks fed by hillside runoff and melting mountain snow, and woodlands of oak and pine.
The Caretakers Residence was part of the original land purchase. The three main buildings constructed by Meherana are Baba's Cabin, the Meadow Cottage, and the "Go Down", which is a new multi-use building replacing buildings lost in the fire. (pictured at left)

If you aren't paying for something, you're the product. Or your data is.
On September 3rd Michael Jordan walked to the center of the field at the onset of the University of Michigan's first football game of the 2016 season. The eye-pleasing, ceremonial activities of (arguably) the world's best basketball player overshadowed any discussion around the details of the contract which led to his honorary captain's position. The team donned the Jumpman logo on its uniform as part of the $170MM deal between University of Michigan and Nike.
Nike sponsors a lot of collegiate teams and sports, as well as national and international teams. The news of yet another college and Nike partnership hardly seems worth paying attention to. But in this case the 170MM dollar amount brought with it the opening of a Pandora's Box of personal information (and I mean really personal, as in biometric) and performance data access.
To most people working in digital or data, the idea of collecting this sort of information is impressive, amazing even. Being able to analyze individual information is only second to the promise of correlating the information across team members, team performance, inter player dynamics, and even practice factors leading up to competition; performance metrics becomes a powerful tool for coaches and players alike.
But, the contract isn't intended to deliver that information to the coaches and players. The data will reside with Nike – who in the contract isn't listed as a manufacturer, but rather a 'sports and fitness company'.
In fact, and I had to refer to Bill Wilson as a recognized authority on this subject, a standard contract between a player and the college doesn't specify any level of privacy on the part of the player. The subject of the rights of college athletes is a vibrant one, and not the subject of this discussion; rather the idea of user generated data is.
User generated information isn't new. As users of products and services of any kind (electricity, gas, cars, mobiles, laptops, websites, apps, credit cards) our behaviors and transactions have been recorded in various forms. We often don't read the fine print, where the policies are written and the types of data collected are defined, though the use of this data rarely is.
I have a colleague who laughingly espouses he would give Jeff Bezos his social security number if the promise was that the Amazon experience would continue to surprise and delight him.
I wonder would he offer up his heart rate? His pulse? His mile run time? Perhaps. But my colleague is a fellow strategist, not an athlete.
Wearables are permeating not just athletics, but our everyday lives. Common knowledge at this point. Most early adopters are using wearables to showcase just that, early adoption. However, they are quickly becoming the norm. In 2014, PricewaterhouseCoopers reported that 7.6 million wearable devices shipped within the United States, a 200% increase over the previous year, and that one in five Americans owns a wearable device.
I sat in a session in SXSW two years ago where fabric manufacturers discussed how they were (literally) weaving haptic thread into garments to both read from and deliver data to the wearer.
In late 2015 Netflix published a DIY article on how to make socks that sensed when you fell asleep and paused the show you were watching, (ummmm, yes please). But what data do they need to collect in order to make that happen? Could the same sensory information they collect be used to correlate physiological responses to comedies and thrillers in order to better advise you on which other shows & movies will evoke similar responses? Is that terrible? What if that data was shared/sold to another brand? Your employer? Your internet service provider? What would you be comfortable with?
How about using wearable delivered information in the workplace? In many athletic programs athletes wear sensors to inform team doctors and physiologists of metrics which can be used to pre-empt injury or modify work out or therapy programs.
If we issue wearables in corporate environments who does that data belong to? Should we be able to look up our colleague's whereabouts if they are late for a meeting?
"Oh Bob is in the elevator; he should be here in a minute." Or what about more personal information like one's heartrate or body position? We can think through all sorts of efficiency arguments for companies to know more about their workforce and ideally working to create a better environment, manage workload and personalize work experiences. But are our employers, our brands, our government prepared to handle this level of sensitive information? Do we trust them.
In a 2015 Georgetown Law Journal publication, Matthew Langley wrote extensively about this subject from the legal perspective. He noted that there is no Federal law which prohibits software companies who integrate with wearables from collecting health information. (In fact integrated software/hardware companies like Fitbit actively need it to operate) The most poignant question in my mind is the idea of intent. By simply wearing a device and using software, am I intending to share the data? Are we nearing the point in time where I won't be creeped out by Amazon pushing water to me on my Apple watch when I am perspiring?
We know that technology is outpacing societies ability to adopt, monitor or regulate it. With wearables we are entering the most dangerous and promising period of digital lifestyle in our generation. It is a time that as brands and stewards of digital, we must err on the conservative side of personal data. As consumers we must use the very technologies that bring us benefits to challenge and scrutinize their practices. Allowing pomp and circumstance, or even eloquent marketing stories, to overshadow the risk to our privacy and now our bodies isn't a trend I hope continues. Our involvement is critical as the government organizations we rely on at these tricky intersections, are well behind the journey technology has us on.


I can't stop wearing my gorgeous new boots.
I'm sure you'll have seen these boots everywhere, they're a current blogger favourite. After weeks of complaining how I couldn't afford them to my boyfriend (I'm going on holiday soon and a girl has gotta save), he eventually must have gotten sick and decided to treat me to these boots, and it was a lovely surprise. They're just dreamy..
First Topshop released the high heeled Master boot, which I really liked. But then the lower heeled, more practical Mistic boot came out and I fell in love. Made from buttery soft leather, featuring a decorative heel that falls somewhere between marble and tortoiseshell, and the perfect height for everyday wear. What more could you ask for? Since getting them, I don't think a day has gone by where I haven't worn them. They're the perfect finishing touch to every outfit.
Below I've listed my boots and some of the other statement heels I'm loving from Topshop. Happy shopping!

POSTELL
GREAT detailed summary of the Postells in France and SC can be found here.
Hastee Plantation (Belle Reve); home to Jehu, site of John Postell's capture during the American Revolution, built by John Postell:
*this site also include rev war information as well as transcripts of correspondence.
Jean Postell B. 1660; came to SC after the revocation of the edict of Nantes, born Dieppe France… more here.
John Postell B. 1717; hero of the French/Indian war, recruited Frances Marion during that conflict (the swamp fox of the American Revolution), involved in conflict, and held hostage during the Am. Rev. during an incident of significant note (worth the read!).
Jehu Postell b. 1749; son of John Postell, served under Frances Marion during the revolutionary war; under family lore snuck away from home and served against his mother's will, according to record advanced from Corporal, to Lieutenant and then as a captain during the war, and was present at the battle of Cowpens, SC. Married Hanna Coachman.
James Harvey Postell: B. c. 1817: Grandson of [Jehu Postell (Sr.) b.1749], son of [Jehu Postell (Jr.) b. 1793] (Born and raised in the lowlands of SC, traveled into western NC ~1852 to teach and eventually became a strong Methodist Minister. By multiple counts was a tireless worker and rode the circuit of many churches at different points in his life. Non of the churches established last to this day but there is still a Methodist presence in the areas where he planted the seeds.
Another Account of his work by the missionary society here. This account is more descriptive of his work and ethic.
From the autobiography of Brantley York p.59:
"The spring session of '52 opened with about 100 students, and the numbers continued to increase till they reached the number of 146. After I had wound up my circuit schools, no more were formed in that way, though I continued teaching classes both in this State and South Carolina in connection with my work as agent. In the summer of '52, Rev. James Pastell came from South Carolina with the express purpose of getting me to go to that state to teach grammar classes. I went with him and a large one was formed at Armenia Church, Chester County. This was the first class taught in this state. The result of the teaching made a strong impression, and I was solicited to return by several gentlemen in Yorkville, and in the autumn of the same year I visited Yorkville, and formed classes both for the day and night, and continued a large portion of the winter of '52 and '53 in the same place. I did my teaching without a book, using the blackboard and slates, for I could find no book that would suit my method of teaching, and while in Yorkville I commenced writing, with a view to publishing a book on English Grammar, and wrote about fifty pages of foolscap, which was all I ever wrote with my own hand. In every place where I taught scholars went to New Institute, and there were some thirty boarders from South Carolina in the spring session of '53."
Some records including notes and transcribed reports from James H Pastell can be found here on page 107
Here, by 1861 James H Postell is listed as a local ordained elder in western NC by 1861
Mary H Pastell B. 1850: Mary was born to James Pastell just before he left to NC for the first time; she grew up in a Methodist tradition, and attended the now defunct Rutherford College in the town now bearing that schools name in NC. According to tradition, she had an amazing voice and sang in the choir in church, and fell in love with Jeremiah J. E. Jerome Edwards.
They were fervent pastors and missionaries for generations in Pigeon Fork NC, opposite the mountains of Pigeon Forge TN. They were members of the same community as the Inman family of the book Cold Mountain, who's family cemetery they share. The Methodist community they lead for generations continues to this day in Haywood County, NC.
Ellis Edwards b 1779: born in Fauquier, VA; it is said that his parents were missionaries and preached to the Native Americans in the mountains of far south west Virginia.
His gravestone is still visible
Jeremiah E Jerome Edwards B. 1853: born to Benjamin Martin Edwards, married Mary H Pastell; they moved to Guilford/High Point, NC later in life. He also had a love of music, and it is said that he met Mary playing for the church as the two Methodist families began to intertwine.
Joseph Fields B. 1738: He and his brothers were successful farmers and influential members of western NC society around Guilford when tensions rose before the revolution. They were key members of what is now called the Regulator War in NC, were captured at the battle of Moores Creek Bridge, imprisoned in MD, and then fought at the battle of Kings Mountain. Joseph Fields died at Kings Mountain, fighting for the crown as a result of a loyalty pledge he and his brothers signed in exchange for a pardon for their rolls in the Regulator War. His wife moved east with their children after the war and remarried.
A great summary of the fields family through the Revolution can be found here.
A summary of the Battle of Moores Creek Bridge
Peter Lyndsey Fields B 1844:
According to family tradition, he was captured during the Civil War, contracted smallpox, and was left to die in a Yankee prison, but survived. This has become one of the best documented ancestors I have ever come across, largely due to his service in the Civil War- and all the documentation supports the family tradition, which is always fantastic to find!
Peter Fields served under Steuart's brigade, which witnessed only two major actions during the war: they caused a friendly fire incident during the battle of Gettysburg, and they were captured at the bloody angle at the battle of Spotsylvania Courthouse. PLF was transferred with the other soldiers captured at the battle by way of Belle Plains in Stafford county, then to an over crowded prison in MD, then to the Elmira prison New York, famed for its inhumane treatment and the highest death rate of any prison, including Andersonville, during the war. According to official diagrams and maps made by prisoners, the hospital was in fact created at the site of former pig pens and was located next to the river adjacent to the camp. If you look at this location via satellite, there is still a barren spot on the ground at the exact location.
Fields lived until 1922.
Photos, a map of the prison, and PLF's pension request with signature can be seen here
It has been difficult to find much documented family history on the Hausers. Multiple sourced published family lines however have traced the lineage of the name of our line to a man who was a bricklayer in Switzerland in the 1300's. In the 1500's they spent a few generations in Colmar, now Alsace France and then lived in a few other places in France, and came to the colonies in the 1700's. It appears as though they were in Yadkin County for a few hundred years.
The easiest lineage to follow I've found can be seen here.
Some good info about early ancestors, Martin Hauser b. 1696 and before can be found here.
It has also been difficult to find much history about the Reynolds family, before Numa Madison Reynolds. Different lineages argue different dates and times that they came to NC, but it seems they were there from at least the mid 1700's on.
Numa Madison Reynolds- He had quite a large house hold, was an engineer in the late industrial age as the railroad began to grow in NC. Family lore declares that he rode the first train into Greensboro, and that he would use the line to deliver seeds and crops to the poor sharecropper families that lived along the lines. He also participated There are newspaper articles that reflect his status and civil leadership in the region (he had a large pig with all of his family, he worked at the firehouse, one of his daughter's births was announce etc.).
He is documented as an early conductor on the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley railroad, and the Atlantic and Yadkin after a merger, which was the earliest railroad in the region. Photographs of all the stops of the CF &YV rail line at the time can be found here (amazing!).

Cloudera Expands Partner Ecosystem to Bring Hadoop to the Cloud
Cloudera Connect: Cloud Program Will Speed New Innovation Through Strategic Partnerships with Industry Leading Cloud Solution Providers
PALO ALTO, CA and NEW YORK, NY – October 28, 2013 – From the Strata + Hadoop World Conference in New York City: Cloudera, the leader in enterprise analytic data management powered byApache Hadoop™, today unveiled Cloudera Connect: Cloud, an expanded Cloudera Connect Partner Program to support deployment of Hadoop in public cloud environments. Leading cloud solution providers who have already joined the program, include: Verizon Enterprise Solutions, Savvis (a CenturyLink company), SoftLayer (an IBM company) and T-Systems.
Introducing Cloudera Connect: Cloud
As Hadoop adoption evolves, so too do the requirements organizations have for big data solutions. Enterprises continue to embrace the flexibility and accessibility of the cloud for mission-critical applications, and companies are now looking to combine the benefits of the cloud with the data processing and analytic power of the Apache Hadoop platform, which traditionally has been deployed on localized hardware. To begin integrating all the capabilities of Hadoop into the cloud, Cloudera has expanded its partner program to include a new cloud services and solution provider division, called Cloudera Connect: Cloud.
"The cloud will play a significant role in the future of the enterprise, and Cloudera and Hadoop are part of that future," said Tim Stevens, vice president, Corporate and Business Development, Cloudera. "We remain committed to solving higher order big data problems for our customers that will enable them to ask bigger questions and derive more sophisticated insights from their data -- wherever it lives -- from a single, unified enterprise data management platform. Cloudera's richly diverse partner ecosystem is helping to provide the innovation and variety that our customers require to solve all of their data challenges."
The new program is designed to meet the growing needs of customer organizations looking to optimize Hadoop deployments in cloud environments, by offering the utmost flexibility in deployment, consumption and choice of vendor for their big data deployments. Bolstered by its integration with a strong ecosystem of leading cloud solution providers, Cloudera will now offer a wide array of partner solutions to support unified data management and analytics in cloud-based environments. Charter members of the Cloudera Connect: Cloudprogram include:
Verizon Enterprise Solutions
Savvis (a CenturyLink company)
SoftLayer (an IBM company)
"For Hadoop to transition into the mainstream, enterprises need to have the flexibility and freedom to utilize the underlying infrastructure that best suits their specific needs, rather than having their data management solution provider be the gatekeeper of an on-premises versus cloud decision," said Amr Awadallah, chief technology officer at Cloudera. "To that end, Cloudera is investing in strategic partnerships with companies that can help to build out cloud-specific feature sets, and we are working with multiple cloud vendors to offer a variety of choices to our customers, enabling them to customize a Hadoop-on-cloud deployment that is ideal for their unique environment."
In addition to the Cloudera Connect: Cloud program, Cloudera will provide support for customer deployments in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud in the near future, and also private cloud deployments through OpenStack and VMware. The company's long-term vision is to embrace a hybrid model, where the Cloudera stack can operate transparently between on-premises, private cloud and public cloud deployments. By bringing together a diverse partner ecosystem, with a plan to roll out comprehensive support for Hadoop in the cloud, Cloudera is helping customers bring Hadoop to more enterprise users and applications. Cloudera Enterprise continues to be the industry standard for next-generation enterprise data management and analytics, wherever data and workloads live.
Charter Member Support for Cloudera Connect: Cloud
Verizon Enterprise Solutions - "Verizon created the enterprise cloud and with our recently announced next generation cloud offering – Verizon Cloud – we are creating the foundation on which other, enterprise-class cloud services can be deployed. This ecosystem of enterprise cloud technologies enhances clients' overall business functions with unprecedented control of performance. Cloudera is a perfect match for our environment, both in terms of the proven enterprise capabilities the Cloudera platform delivers and the demanding enterprise customer base they serve."
--John Harrobin, chief marketing officer
Savvis, a CenturyLink company - "Enterprises need trusted, high-powered computing solutions to unlock the value that big data solutions offer. To realize these capabilities, the industry must commit to delivering highly reliable, scalable and secure platforms that seamlessly work together. Savvis and Cloudera's collaboration enables organizations to meet their diverse information management and big data requirements through a flexible, fully managed solution."
-- Steve Garrou, vice president, global solutions management
Softlayer, an IBM company - "Through our partnership with Cloudera, we're giving enterprises the performance and flexibility to tackle the toughest workloads on the cloud in a way that works best for them. By running Cloudera 5 on our robust cloud infrastructure, users now have a solid foundation to build a true data hub."
-- Marc Jones, vice president, product innovation
T-Systems - "Big data hub solutions delivered as a cloud service offer enterprises flexibility and scalability for managing business-critical data," said "we are pleased to be partnering with Cloudera to bring these cloud-based big data hub solutions to market."
-- Christian Wirth, VP of Big Data

Discussion of basic structural principles found in many West African drum ensemble traditions: cyclic repetition; rhythmic ambiguity; conversation. Drum families and varieties of construction methods. Basic hand and stick techniques. Social aspects of music in African cultures. Most of the workshop is devoted to learning several traditional ensemble styles drawn primarily from the ethnic groups of present-day Ghana. There is no particular limit to the number of participants, however only eight to ten people would be involved in actual performance at any given time. 2 hours minimum.


Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, is a common condition that every teacher will most likely encounter in the classroom during his or her career. In fact, estimates place the number of school-aged kids who have an ADHD diagnosis at about 11%, or about 1 in every 10 students. The condition changes the way students learn, but that does not mean they will not thrive in school.
There are effective strategies you may implement in the classroom to ensure your students with ADHD have the same opportunity to perform as well as other students.
In order to better understand how to help students with ADHD, it's useful to have an up-to-date understanding of at least the fundamentals of the condition. The National Institute of Mental Health defines ADHD as "a disorder that makes it difficult for a person to pay attention and control impulsive behaviors." Depending on the type, a student may also be restless and have a need to constantly be active.
Whether or not the percentage of children with ADHD has skyrocketed in recent years is up to debate. However, a few factors may have driven this increase in diagnosis, such as better medical accuracy, less stigma surrounding mental illness, and a resulting overall awareness of ADHD.
ADHD doesn't manifest itself in just one way. In fact, there are three types of ADHD as defined by the American Psychiatric Association (APA, 2000). It is important to know the difference between the three subtypes and thee behaviors associated with each. Remember, ADHD isn't a catch-all phrase. You can't rely on uniform classroom strategies to address it.
Students will have a more difficult time concentrating, struggle with organizational skills, and be easily distracted. For example, the student may lose a pencil, print-outs, and other items needed to complete a task. Daydreaming and frequently having trouble remembering directions are also telltale signs. A study showed that students with predominantly inattentive ADHD have a later age of onset and will therefore have a larger effect in middle school and after.
Students are characterized by impulsivity and overactivity. Educators will find that these students fidget, feel restless, have difficulty sitting still, and constantly chat. Quiet activities may not be the forte here, but you can create hands-on lessons to hone their learning style.
As the title insinuates, this is a mixture of the above subtypes. The student will show symptoms from both types of ADHD but they will not be exclusively under one category. The student will be inattentive and impulsive to varying degrees.
Keep in mind, no statistically significant differences were found between the groups when examining off-task and/or disruptive behavior during structured and free play observations at school. However, each type of ADHD makes learning in the traditional sense challenging. Each student is unique in her strengths and weaknesses. All students need attention and support from parents and teachers to reach their potential. This is where you come in!
What are some unique strengths of an ADHD brain that a student can leverage?
ADHD isn't necessarily a disadvantage. In fact, there are some unique advantages. People with ADHD tend to show great creativity, spontaneity, engagement in personal interests, and high energy. ADHD allows for intense focus once a person is able to channel his energy levels into an interest. A student with ADHD will also have strong resilience, as he is excellent at adapting to new strategies and pushing past barriers. Another great ADHD benefit to use as a springboard is the student's ingenuity and unique way of approaching problems.
Here is how you can help your student be her best self in the classroom!
How can I create an ADHD-friendly classroom environment?
Take a deep breath and let's leave the frustrations behind. There are many techniques to use in the classroom setting to help a student with ADHD achieve success.
Do role-playing activities to showcase new knowledge. Give students a chance to have debates on topics or creatively act out scenarios. Ever thought about spicing up biology class by personifying the mitochondria and nucleus in short 5-minute group plays?
Turn test reviews into games. Jeopardy-style review games are both engaging and competitive, which also makes the information more memorable than a boring paper worksheet.
Have sensory stimulating gadgets in your classroom. Students with ADHD may be tempted to fidget, continuously tap the desk, or touch those around them. Having a squeeze ball or a colorful bubble tumbler available can be a great outlet during breaks or even during a quiet activity to keep hands busy without disturbing others.
Set clear expectations. How do you make expectations clear? Write lesson plans and homework for the day down where the student can always find and read them. Setting these students aside to give them optional office hours or tutoring opportunities during lunch can also help them get through homework assignments that would otherwise take hours to complete alone.
Reward positive behaviors. Creating a behavioral reward system will help a student understand which behaviors are acceptable in class. Keep the student aware of his emotions and resulting behaviors with a behavior chart that rewards behaviors you want to see more of. Keep the behavior plan in plain sight so that all students, not just those with ADHD are on the same page. This way, those with ADHD aren't called out for their behavior or made to feel uncomfortable.
When implementing the system, be sure to give consequences and rewards immediately following the specific behavior. When rewarding, you can recognize good behavior publicly to bring attention to what's desired. When giving instructions, it is helpful to be brief and direct for the student.
Getting students with ADHD to focus is not an impossible task. Rather, it's manageable by recognizing that every student has a different learning style and strengths to leverage. Tweaking your teaching strategies can maximize performance and be rewarding for you as a teacher as well!

Q: How do you style Bootstrap 4 carousel indicators to have no fill and only circular outlines? I made a carousel and I want to make my indicators (the ones at the bottom of the carousel) white hollow circles with no or white fill. By default, they are long, rectangular and white. I managed to make them circular and dark by doing this to my CSS:
.carousel-indicators > li {
    border-radius: 50%;
    width: 10px;
    height: 10px;
}

.darken {
    filter: invert(40%);
}

But I want the circles to only have an outline and no fill so how can I do that? I tried adding color: red to experiment but the colour of the circles won't change.

A: All you need to do is to override some CSS properties.
.carousel-indicators li{
    margin-right: 3px;
    margin-left: 3px;
    background-color: #fff;
    border-top: 10px solid transparent;
    border-bottom: 10px solid transparent;
}

Set background-color: transparent and border: 0 to remove bootstrap style and set box-shadow for nice outline. Increase margin so elements are nicely separated.
Notice: You don't need !important in your code, it was required here in this code snippet otherwise the example wouldn't work.

.carousel-indicators li {
  width: 10px !important;
  height: 10px !important;
  margin-right: 5px !important;
  margin-left: 5px !important;
  border-radius: 50% !important;
  border: 0 !important;
  background-color: transparent !important;
  box-shadow: 0 0 0 .2rem rgba(0,0,0,1) !important;
}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.0/css/bootstrap.min.css">

    Next

A: Building off of Jakub's answer...
FWIW - I prefer the BS 3.4.1 indicators - the style is a little "crisper". I used the below as a BS 4 over-ride:
.carousel-indicators li {
     display: inline-block;
     width: 10px;
     height: 10px;
     margin: 1px;
     text-indent: -999px;
     cursor: pointer;
     background-color: #000 \9;
     background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
     border: 1px solid #fff;
     border-radius: 10px;
  }


Wall Talk – more laws, more problems.
There's a lot of Wall talk going on these days, but both political sides' proposed solutions would seem to make everyone in this country less free. Is there a way to address these border issues in a way that would increase personal freedom instead?
Ending the War on Drugs may seem like a drastic idea to some. However, there are many valid arguments and mountains of evidence (look into the Portugal Drug Decriminalization) as to why this seemingly crazy idea could actually work, and that society would most likely be much better off, not to mention freer, as a result.
First off, because even the Federal Prisons in this country cannot keep drugs out of their own inmates' hands. The War on Drugs isn't stopping the sale of drugs. It merely moved this process into the hands of criminals. Creating black markets to feed the giant demand. Making criminals rich in the process. Just like in the era of Prohibition in the 1920s when the government thought they knew what was best for all American people and outlawed the sale of Alcohol. Which spawned a major wave of crime and violence leading the rise of notorious figures like Al Capone.
What would happen if CVS started to sell any drug that one could desire, all totally legal? Complete with directions, ingredients list, and proper dosages? Even if you disagree with the idea of Heroine at CVS, you cannot disagree that this move would virtually cut off all of the funds of the Mexican drug cartels(Just don't tell them that this author told you so.). They would be totally crippled. A fair argument could easily be made that shrinking the money supply to the cartels would make the border areas, and Mexico overall, a better place to live. Perhaps fewer people would be compelled to risk it all in an attempt to cross the border into the U.S.
Or maybe not, but it would seem like a logical step in the right direction. At least more logical than continuing the status quo or building a wall. A wall that would inevitably lead to a price increase on drugs that have to be smuggled around, under or over it. Not building a wall while continuing to fight this unwinnable War on Drugs will keep the drugs flowing, bringing with them all the negative effects that come along with any black-market operation. Either way, these vicious Drug Cartels continue to stack money and run the border.
