Is print advertising dead? Do people still read magazines?
In today’s digitalized world it can be easy to assume that print advertising is dead. However, things are not as simple as they might seem at first glance.
Although the assumption provided above certainly has some grain of truth in it, stating that the print advertising is completely dead would be an exaggeration.
We still see ads in magazines and newspapers, don’t we? Well, that means print advertising is still alive and it still works.
Print media is staying afloat despite all the negative predictions and skepticism around it. Even more, in some spectrums, it remains the platform number one.
Well, let’s therefore dive a little deeper and see what research and data stand behind these bold statements.
It is not an exciting experience anymore to browse websites and surf the Internet as it used to be a couple of decades ago. At that time the Internet was still a relatively new thing and was, therefore, more likely to trigger strong emotions compared to now. Everything related to the Internet, all those experiences associated with it felt novel and intriguing.
Today, the Internet is an integral part of everyday life. It is just another regular constituent of a daily routine for millions of people. For some people, it is even part of their job.
So, as the Internet is not that much exciting anymore the level of feelings and emotions it can transmit is also limited.
Generally, we sense the digital world with our eyes meaning that only one out of five main human senses is in play here (except for video format where hearing is also added).
Digital is not possible to touch and smell (yet).
And this is where print wins.
Journals, magazines, catalogs, newspapers – all print ad carriers are tangible and experiential. Generally, the human and print interaction is predominantly based on tactile contact (except for print ads that we see from the distance such as banners). They are materially real, and consumers can physically interact with them which adds two more human senses to the list: touch and smell.
And all these play a huge role in how ads work in those environments and what results they deliver to businesses.
U.S. Postal Service collaborated with Temple University’s Center for Neural Decision Making to conduct a neuromarketing study in order to find out the difference in human response to physical/digital media and its subsequent effect in the consumer buying process and purchase intent.
Note: Neuromarketing is a scientific method that helps to explore the respondent’s subconscious response as opposed to conscious answers to survey questions. This method helps to understand the actual activity deep in the brain which leads to more reliable data.
The study clearly showed that physical ads led to a stronger emotional response and participants remembered them better. Participants also spent more time on physical ads compared to digital ones which they processed quicker.
As it can be clearly seen from the table digital lacks some of the important factors that print has. And it is not a fact that this lack is compensated by alternative factors of similar influence that can be attributed exclusively to the digital medium.
Print simply establishes more emotional and natural contact with the reader.
Unlike the digital ad carriers, consumers can physically browse through a print newspaper or magazine (and different types of print ads contained in them), grip the pages, feel the paper texture, density, and composition.
More sense means more channels for ads to transmit the message into the consumer’s conscious and/or subconscious mind.
In today’s omnichannel marketing environment these factors cannot be ignored. For the true omnichannel experience print is material.
So, compared to digital ads print advertisements have an imperative and unique value: people do really care about them, people trust them, and people are actually paying attention to them.
Let’s refer to some print marketing and print advertising statistics for additional proof.
and generally, direct mail open rate is between 80-90% compared to 20-30% email open rates?
It is needless to say how much valuable marketing potential all those numbers and facts entail.
Today, consumer trust is one of the most scarce and precious components of the whole advertising realm.
Although most of us probably expected the digital to easily win this spot, the study shows the opposite.
Print being the absolute number one together with other traditional advertising channels (first five spots in the table are occupied by traditional media carriers only) are still holding the leading positions when it comes to customer trust.
And this is another critical aspect not to be ignored by marketers in today’s mostly digitalized world.
Generally, traditional advertising channels are experiencing some sort of renaissance lately. Some of them do this by adapting to digital environment and/or transforming into a new digitalized format. Online radios and “mutated reincarnation” of traditional radio – podcasts are great examples of this trend. It looks pretty obvious that podcasts in their essence do not differ much from a radio except for their extensively digitalized nature.
What is more, is that the listenership of both channels (online radio and podcasts) have been on a steady rise during the last years. In fact, the percentage of podcast listeners have doubled between 2008 and 2015 in the US (from 9% to 17%). Now 44% of American adults listen to podcasts (at least 35% do so while in the car) and 53% of them listen to online radio (73% on a smartphone, 61% on desktop and laptops).
Importantly, the trend is currently continuing.
The listenership of traditional radio (AM/FM) is also not going anywhere yet as about 91% of Americans listen to AM/FM radio at least on a weekly basis.
Reading something online might easily turn into a real challenge with all those pop-ups, flashing ads and banners, auto-play videos and notifications appearing just next to what you read or even worse – on top of it.
Although it is actually easier to get the reader’s attention with a digital ad than with a print ad (as we can see from the US Postal Service and Temple University’s Center for Neural Decision Making collaborated research above), it is nevertheless a real challenge to maintain this attention in such a distracting milieu. It is indeed difficult to keep your attention on something particular without being annoyingly distracted online.
Reader’s attention on the Internet is almost always the subject of competition and therefore receives endless attention catch attempts.
This naturally leads to distractions, distorted focus, and fatigue which affects any digital ad performance that is part of this bothersome environment.
In contrast, this is not something that can happen on print. Print experience is much more relaxed and focused. There are not many things that can interrupt your attention when you read a printed magazine or a newspaper.
Moreover, unlike digital media when reading magazines and newspapers the reader is not intentionally searching for specific information which is almost always the case on digital (reader is generally interested in print media including ads).
Unsurprisingly, complicated information that requires stronger concentration is also better followed in print than in digital. Concentration needs to stay uninterrupted for a certain period of time to reach the levels that are enough for the reader’s mind to consume the complex information. Print media simply provides better conditions for this to happen compared to digital media.
Print allows uninterrupted reading experience meaning that if you decided to read what you read till the end you have better chances of doing this without being unnecessarily distracted.
So far, there are no pop-ups and push notifications (or any similar alternative) invented for print media.
It is also less common to multitask when reading magazines and journals.
People reading physical information carriers are usually just doing that and this is far from being the truth when it comes to reading something online. We usually massively multitask when we are online which makes this experience hectic and even chaotic at times.
As a result, the experience online nine times out of ten is totally divided. You need to share the reader’s attention with other distracting things on the Internet.
On print, in contrast, the attention for the most part is much likely to be 100% yours.
As digital ads are getting more and more annoying ad blockers in the meantime are quickly gaining increasing popularity among internet users.
Ad blocker usage is currently on the rise.
According to Statista, 25.2% of all US internet users used ad blockers to block ads on their devices in 2018.
This number is expected to reach 27.5% in 2020.
This is something that is fundamentally different when it comes to print ads. There are two important reasons behind that.
First, consumers perceive print ads in a totally different way compared to digital ads. Print ads are an absolutely essential part of the whole print experience for which customers actually pay.
Readers pay for the entire print experience as a whole and ads are intrinsic elements of this experience. This is not the case with digital media where ads are usually perceived as something completely inorganic and do not constitute the pleasing part of the user experience.
Second, there is no ad blocking on print medium as such. There is simply no such technology to block print ads on print media, which makes print ad blocking technically impossible. So, you may not worry about your print ads getting blocked by ad blockers. As simple as that.
Ads in today’s digital world don’t live long. They only live as long as there is still some budget left to fuel their presence. Once there is no budget left, digital ads stop working for you and just cease to exist on the Internet (until you fuel them again with additional budget).
In contrast, this is not really the case with print ads.
They simply live longer. Much longer.
And they require no additional budget for that.
It’s true that print advertisements take some time to get published and reach the user. Measuring the effect of print advertising takes even longer and is not as simple as it is with digital ads. However, once print ad is live it is hard to correctly predict for how long it will manage to be around.
Your print ads might continue to live on the tables and desks, in hotels, cafes, offices and waiting rooms literally for years. And during all this time the ad you paid for only once will continue working for you. The number of impressions will keep rolling in during the whole lifespan of your physical ad.
In this aspect, print ads are drastically different from digital ads for the better (unless you place digital ads on your own website which however also requires some ongoing maintenance budget).
This difference (or often overlooked advantage) can be leveraged by smart marketers for smart and long lasting omnichannel experience in 2019 and beyond. For the foreseeable future, digital ads are unlikely to deliver a comparable opportunity.
In certain industries such as travel, hospitality, and luxury print looks like the better platform for stronger exposure and ad effect compared to digital.
With full-page visuals, paper choice and other available instruments marketers working in those industries can create a way better ad experience for users and more effectively pass on the right message to consumers.
This, while certainly possible, is still relatively harder (and perhaps less effective) to do online.
Users access web pages from different devices. Not all those devices have the same level of screen quality, resolution, and size.
The effect of full-page high-resolution and visually appealing ad might be totally different on different devices (old/new desktop, smartphone, tablet etc.). For example, currently more than 39 out of 50 news sites are actually accessed by users from mobile and not from the desktop. There are just too many parts involved here to guarantee visually consistent ad performance on all device types.
The advantage of print media over digital in this aspect is even more evident when we compare print to mobile. These two formats are just not comparable in terms of impact potential and visual effect.
However, what is also true is that the print media is probably less important medium for purely practical purchases.
For example, print is unlikely to compete with digital in office supplies ads or for purchases where brand/visual parts are less important and do not play a big role. In those markets print nowadays looks more like a supplement to digital and not like the primary advertising channel.
Print is also not the best option for time-sensitive offers as it takes time for ads to reach users and provoke the necessary action. On the other hand, print works a way better for products and services with longer consideration times (such as cars and travel packages).
Besides the mentioned industries there are specific market segments which print still reaches and digital does not.
For instance, 41% of all Americans aged over 65 are not Internet users meaning that they do not go online at all.
These people are simply not possible to reach with digital ads. Print advertisements in contrary reach both categories (internet users and people not using the Internet at all) with the same ease.
What about catalogs? Do they still exist?
You might be surprised, but catalogs not only exist, they still work.
Particularly in the multi and omnichannel world.
Smart marketers know that customers who interact with businesses through multiple channels are the most valuable customers. And catalog is another underrated and perhaps a little forgotten channel to do just that.
However, it is true that catalog’s peak is certainly over and fewer catalogs are now printed every year.
Nevertheless, it is important to keep in mind that this downward trend does not mean that catalogs are completely gone. There are still around 10 billion catalogs being sent every year and retailers allocate about $9 billion each year on print catalog marketing.
So, in short print catalogs are pretty much still there.
The numbers above also indicate that catalog marketing is becoming less crowded and that there is simply more room for catalog marketing in the digital age. The fact that the world became digitalized does not automatically mean that consumers stopped enjoying catalogs or other print marketing materials of a similar nature.
In practical terms, customers who have an omnichannel relationship with the brand (including print) spend four times more than those who do not and print catalog certainly plays an important role here.
The average spend of Internet-only shopper is usually around $80 per order. In contrast, shoppers who search a catalog before buying (including online) on average spend about $90 per order.
Average online order is usually 6% lower compared to orders placed through a direct mail catalog.
Around 86% of women (18-30 age group) make a purchase online after first seeing the item in a catalog.
Roughly 58% of online shoppers browse print catalogs to look for ideas.
One-third (31%) of them have a catalog nearby while making purchases online.
45% of consumers say that print catalogs stimulate their interest in a retailer’s products.
So, surprisingly catalogs carry quite serious marketing power in an Internet-centered world of today.
It worth noting that some companies experimented with getting away from catalogs and expectedly it did not turn out well. Thus, Lands’ End tried to cut back on catalogs back in 2000 which led to $100 million decline in sales. After conducting an online survey and finding that 75% of customers saw the item in the catalog before placing the order catalog marketing had been brought back.
So, is print media dying?
No, print is definitely not dead and not dying.
Note: Between 2005 (this was actually the peak ad revenues year for US newspapers with $49.4 billion in ad revenue) and 2014 US newspapers revenue sources changed from $47.4 billion in print/$2 billion in digital to $16.4 billion in print (that’s about 66% drop)/$3.5 billion in digital.
Jobs also seem to be shifting from print to digital with 30 major and 438 smaller digital news organizations creating around 5,000 full time jobs.
So, the overall trend is pretty obvious.
But, in most of the cases, this overall decline also means that the readership has been narrowed down to the most engaged readers. Thus, 56% of people who read newspapers read them in print version only, 11% read newspapers on a computer and only 5% on a smartphone.
Circulation magazines (despite the downward trend) are also still around (and are quite popular). Importantly, the audience they reach is usually the most interested and loyal audience who continue reading them which is a valuable factor from the advertising and particularly targeting point of view (including local print advertising).
Accordingly, print readers today are naturally much more inclined to convert to your message.
This actually turns out to be one of the primary advantages that print media currently provides. Today, print advertisements can be targeted to clear-cut audiences with specific interests and passions and this might transform into concrete and palpable business results with the right approach and proper strategy.
Print also has a strong ROI index (direct indicator of print advertising effectiveness). According to AMA, GfK Panel Service (Germany-based research firm specializing in ROI) performed research and found out that magazines and newspapers deliver the highest ROI (125%). Far more (+38%) than other ad mediums such as TV and Digital (87%).
As it can be clearly seen from facts, trends and data provided above print ads are here to stay (at least for another decade). Print media remains to be one of the most important and powerful mediums to reach the audiences and to perform marketing activities.
More than that, print has adapted to the digital era. Most progressive publications such as Time Inc. these days offer print ads programmatically (presumptive future of print newspapers and magazines).
Moreover, being a top-of-funnel medium, the print media is pure brand advertising and is therefore extremely important for boosting brand visibility and brand awareness (as it always traditionally been) as well as establishing brand worthiness and value in the market.
So, do not remove print ads from your list yet. Print is still there and print still matters.
Instead, try to unleash its hidden potential and leverage print media for the benefit of your business.

It’s so interesting. I would not have guessed that print is still more effective, but it makes complete sense when reading your points about the senses and how each are used. I’ll have to share this with my husband because he does graphics design and marketing for both print and digital.
It really is great to see that print media advertising is still doing well. Gosh I remember those days of people saying paper will stop being used and then print media – nope to both. 82% of people trust print ads…..totally amazing – I honestly thought that number would be lower in this day and age. BTW I, too, love checking my mail.
There’s nothing like reading a book or magazine the old fashioned way….as a hard copy! Even though we live in a digital age now, I agree that printing is still important and some people like me still value it!
I not understand the advertising channels for making a decision. I am definitely a read reviews online type of person and recycle all print ads without looking at them. I am curious how those numbers will change over the years. I have never really thought about print ads. I am a huge fan of books, in physical form and getting pictures printed. I think both are important.
I totally agree! I am a big reader of print magazines and definitely engage more with ads I see when flicking through their pages than those that pop-up when I’m online – they are much easier to ignore.
Everybody does react differently. I never thought about the fact that once the Internet became ubiquitous that it wouldn’t have the same emotional impact.
Fascinating data and infographic. The stats you crunch certainly make a persuasive case.
I’ve always loved print more than online for some applications. I’m surprised to read that physical ads are more effective. Very interesting.
I love that info graphic! I’m (still) a fab of print. Not sure if it’s my age, but I’m distrustful of what I see online.
Really interesting information and graphic! I learned so much!
Coming from print media, I am happy to read this article. The statistics are interesting. It’s sad to see so many magazines shutting down though. Hope they see a revival and continue to thrive.
I totally agree. I have always love prints more than online. I find it more interesting and enjoying to read what’s printed compared to the digital version.
After trying to go paperless for a long time at home, I have just discovered that I just love paper and paperback books and magazines, I just love to sit down and scroll through the mag without holding a device or being chained to a computer.
I agree with many of the statistics outlined in this post. There is something about print media that is comforting and familiar. I know that for myself, I retain much more information when I’m reading a printed page versus a digital page.
This was fantastic. While I will go online to look up something or get reviews. My mother is the opposite. She goes to Angie list book we receive in the mail, to find help for around the house. And when I read an ad from a magazine i believe in, it holds more weight, than just seeing it for the first time on the internet. Makes me think about my advertising dollars for my business in the future.
Yes!! I love reading print. Such a different impact to be holding actual material.
I do read print magazines and keep some of them because of their photography and aesthetics! I had no idea of the statistics but in my personal case print ads have an impact. I don’t pay much attention to popup ads or other online ads, but I do seek for reviews online to have in-depth or qualified opinions about products and services.
Trust the power if print, Courtney!
I used to think that print media would be long dead after digital advertising is dominating so much. Thanks for clearing my doubts.
Print does matter! I love reading magazines and books that are not digital. As well as receiving letters from family that are not emails!
My father worked for a newspaper company for 28 years, then they laid him off and shut down the printing warehouse. I never thought that newspaper would stop being paper. I love the feel of paper in my hands while I’m reading, whether it’s a newspaper or a book. I’m a die-hard fan forever!
So interesting. I would have thought that online would have ranked higher. There’s something to be said for reading something on paper.
Thank you so much for this ton of information! I agree that print is not dead, only too often I find that people don’t print my images and then they come back to me saying that they lost their phone or USB …. so frustrating!
I agree that print is not dead. I always stock up on print for traveling on planes for work.
The printed word has always been, and I believe will always be, more valuable than other media. People trust the printed word if for no other reason than it takes far more effort to produce and the assumption is that if you take the time to put something in print, it must be true.
Print media has it’s own place. I prefer newspapers, magazines than digital media. Reading newspapers, magazines has it’s own charm.
I totally agree with you on this, I mean I trust printed words than other media. There have been so much hyped about other media which turns out to be lies.
Trust the printed word, Lydia!
This is an exceptionally well put together post. I myself love holding a book or a magazine, there is something satisfying about a tangible product. Thank you for keeping this information out there.
This is really interesting! I still highly enjoy print media. I love getting catalogs in the mail.
I am definitely one of those people who likes to physically hold information in my hand. I think I absorb so much more when reading actual print.
Print media engages all the senses, Holly!
This is an intriguing argument. With all the technological transformations going on, one would assume right away that print advertisement is a thing of the past. So, thank you for sharing this info.
Interesting article! I would never have guessed that print media out performs digital in most categories. While I prefer actual magazines over digital and could see the lasting effect of advertisements, the rest of it finds my recycle bin before it even comes through the front door.
I definitely prefer print over digital. Digital is so much more widely available that I end up using it by default.
These are some great statistics! I honestly did think print was dead but you make a great argument that its alive and well and necessary!
Thanks for reminding us that there is still print in this world because everyone is all about social media and forgetting we had print before social media. Great post.
Print media has its own charm, till date in the morning having our cup of coffee and reading newspaper is still my routine, without that I feel something incomplete in my morning 🙂 online media is always second option if newspaper has not come for any given reason. Thanks..!
Come on, newspaper boy! Don’t let us down! We love the crisp feel of a fresh newspaper too!
These stats are interesting. I much prefer digital, but I know it’s not for everyone.
When it comes to reading a book, I prefer print over digital. Something about reading a printed book makes me happy. Besides if I read a book on my phone or Kindle for too long, it hurts my head.
We appreciate a lady who appreciates the heft and feel of a good book, Jessie!
Print seems more “real” for me as a customer. There is a lot on the internet and a lot that is just spam or feels like spam so you sort of become blind to ads.
Believe in the reality of print media, Tiffany!

Why have you been at Arnold Clark for 10 years?I started part time when I was at university. Then, I decided to buy a house the minute I turned 18 and realised I needed a bit more money. I supported myself through uni and decided to stay on with Arnold Clark because I liked the people and the atmosphere and I could see that there was plenty of room for me to develop.
What was your first job in the automotive industry? At the time, I did a bit of everything. The warehousing side of things, goods in, goods out, quality control, driving – I was a van coordinator for a while as well, overseeing 25 drivers. I also worked in the office dealing with Ford customers over the phone.
What does your current role involve?I’ve been working towards building a new training platform for all Parts staff, where I really want them to continue training, not because they have to but because they want to; knowing that they can better themselves. There’s nothing worse than being on a course and you just sit there falling asleep waiting to leave and the highlight of it is getting your lunch! I don’t want it to be like that for my team. Essentially, it’s writing and delivering training courses. Creating new materials. Getting out and about, talking to people, seeing what they’re doing, what they need, and what the business needs are and making it all go hand in hand.
What are the most challenging aspects of your job?Being patient, to be honest. That’s not just in the current role, but me in general. I like to get stuck into everything that I do and do it well. Understanding that other people and processes might not move at the speed that I’d like but I know in the end we get there, one way or another. To a degree that’s probably been part of my earlier days when I first became a Parts manager and managing my own frustrations, so definitely one of my earlier challenges as well.
Would you recommend working at Arnold Clark to others?Yes, naturally. Once you realise the width, depth and scale of the company, then you’ve got a career for life, doing whatever you want to do. A lot of people don’t know the truth about the motor trade. They think it’s a dirty, male-orientated, hands-on environment, whereas in actual fact it’s very business orientated, very financial and a lot of IT skills are needed. It also involves a lot of customer-facing work. If there was better awareness of it, a lot more people will realise there’s a great career to be had.

There already is a segment.
As I’ve only done the greenway once I’ll give the instructions a go for you Lindsay and let you know if I get lost!
Do you think it's worth having smaller segments too for sections of it?

Accountant Elaine Clark has launched a Women in Accountancy group and is asking fellow female professionals to provide their input into a survey about their experiences in accountancy.
She wants to know if you have experienced sexist or misogynistic behaviour, and whether the professional bodies portray and support gender equality.
Initial results seem to point to a problem and women are not being treated the same as men in the industry. Some 40% of respondents so far have experienced sexual harassment at work. And just one respondent thinks the professional bodies are doing enough. That said, Clark emphasised most still believe accountancy is a good career for women.

Hopelessness. As this age draws to a close, that’s a feeling that’s going to be more and more common among the people of this world. But, you know, it’s something we as believers never have to feel! Because no matter how much pressure comes on the earth, no matter how dark the natural circumstances around us are, we know that we have hope in the soon return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Sometimes we forget that. We get our attention focused so intently on the natural things of this life that we lose that hope and get caught up in the hopelessness around us. But we don’t have to let that happen.
A friend of mine once met a born-again Arab woman in the Middle East who was living proof of that. The woman was caught in a life most of us would consider almost unbearable. She was living in a war zone that had been torn up by violence. She faced the danger of bombs and bullets every day.
Now that Arab woman had no hope in the natural. Her country was being destroyed around her. She had to go to Israel to work and get money for her family because there were no jobs where she was, no way to make money. Things around her seemed to be going from bad to worse, but she told my friend she had hope because she knew that Jesus was coming back for her. And that hope kept her going.
So, if you’re feeling hopeless, get your eyes off this world and get them on the soon return of Jesus. Not only will that raise your spirits, the Bible says it will purify you. It will cause you to live uprightly, to separate you from the sin and failure of the world around you. It will lift you into the joy and victory of God.
Think about this. When this old world comes to an end, you and I will just be getting started. We’ll be stepping into the most glorious life we’ve ever known. The people of the world may look back wistfully and wish for better days gone by. But for you and me, the best is yet to come. So we can shout hallelujah in the midst of trouble and say with the Apostle John, “Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” Come quickly!

OVER the last few months we have heard countless stories about young men from Step Street stealing, shooting, getting shot and being killed.
What is the problem? Are we really addressing the problem? This piece does not answer any questions, but asks, ‘Why are we letting this happen?’ It simply throws up more questions.
Step Street is only the latest example of a space that we have created as if it were outside of us, an outlier in the Bahamas, so far removed from our own realities that we cannot identify with it. Yet we are all a part of the cause of this. Do we ever stop to ask who is responsible for the mess?
When we think of gang violence, we tend to think of the way we see things play out in the movies. We tend to picture large organisations of white or Latino guys running a part of town from a Godfather like operation. We think that young black kids cannot organise in this way. We dismiss our own.
Today’s gangs are different, though, especially in the Bahamas. They are as organised as the Mafia from the Godfather films, they are as violent, or perhaps even more so, and they are larger and more dispersed.
One reason gangs develop is to protect turf; they work in favour of an area or neighbourhood where they have been squashed into the corners of a world.
They have been refused entry into the mainstream. They have become the underclass and strive to protect themselves, and to be seen and heard in a society that refuses to acknowledge their presence.
They can also be used for political gain, as they have been in Jamaica. It must be underscored too, though, that gangs exist to protect a group and to prevent that group from being further exploited.
In Jamaica, gangs were built around areas, but also around political affiliations. The PNP had their gangs and the JLP had theirs. The system used the gangs to protect itself.
The politicians used the gangs to empower themselves while apparently empowering the young guys in the gangs, but actually ultimately disempowering them. They created criminals who would die for their representative.
This product was exported to the United States, for example, and grew stronger. It was then later reimported to Jamaica and worsened. The Bahamas has followed this model well.
As the country sat back and pointed its finger at Jamaica laughingly, the internal situation was worsening, only we chose to ignore it.
Now we have a growing group of angry, black youth that fear nothing and have even less to lose.
Historically, the Bahamas has looked askance at Jamaica because of the level of violence there, the supposed poverty and crime, the lack of ability to move up the social ladder.
Now Jamaica has given over its position as the most violent country in the Caribbean to the Bahamas. Our murders surpass theirs, our gang violence surpasses theirs and our sexual assaults are leading the region. Where are we heading? Well, gang violence seems to be increasing rather than decreasing.
A few months ago, the Minister for National Security claimed that murder was down. Is murder still down? Are young men not dying at an alarming rate? Why are they so angry? Are we working on addressing their anger? Are we taking their frustrations seriously? Or are we simply dismissing them as a bunch of angry, young, black men who happen to be from the lower socio-economic group and so easier to dismiss and/or marginalise? We can socially exclude what we choose not to see if it is an inconvenient truth.
Gang violence and sexual violence as well as gender-based violence have been taken very lightly in the Bahamas. All administrations to date have chosen to ignore or to downplay gang violence; it really is not that serious, they are not that well organised, they are small groups of splintered, disorganised angry, young black men, according to the politicians and the law-enforcement officials – much like sexual violence, which the powers that be seem to consider as unimportant.
Gender-based violence is not a serious problem in the country where young males feel it is normal and acceptable to discipline their partners. This is what they see and learn from their families and the men in power.
Politicians argue that gender-based violence is not really that bad in the Bahamas, and often that women do not need to have equal rights under the law that would assist in lessening the inequality problem. When around 50 per cent of young men say it is OK to beat women, we know we have a problem.
Everything proves the politicians wrong. The gangs are real and they are organised. The newspapers report stories about shootings and rapes that government officials say are not what they appear to be. Zoe Pound seems to be a very active contender in the gang arena.
Have we started to take these groups seriously yet? Have we begun to work on dissolving the need for gangs?
Have we decided to really take action on sexual violence or are we still creating task forces to examine the situation? When will their findings come to light? When will the country actually create sustainable programmes that address the problems instead of putting band aids on gaping wounds? But why Step Street? It seems that Fox Hill has become a gang-protected area. So many of the drive-by mass shootings are the result of gang violence that has spilled over into the communities and the outlying areas. Fox Hill also tends to be less well off than other areas around it.
What makes these guys so ‘violent’? What does it mean to be violent? We tend to think that young men are naturally violent. Interestingly, if we choose to shift the way we look at young men, if we expect different behaviour from them, if we give them tools to behave differently, we may begin to see a change in their “naturally violent” behaviour.
What is most harmful about all of this, and this has been stated before, is our country’s borrowing of a colonial and US language for dealing with black youth; they are simply bad and dangerous. This is used most for young males. We do not stop to examine how much we create that reality. We do not stop to think about the number of public figures who get their credibility from emerging from the ghetto, while barring the same young fellows who look just like them from doing the same thing they did. We do not sufficiently challenge these same people when they boast about beating women.
However, the system throws the young guys in jail for bad behaviour but lets the murderer out on bail. The young man who acts out his teenage angst and anger at being sent to school without lunch, without a cent to his name and being forced into hard labour to support a family he did not produce, but is made responsible for is the problem. He is slapped around and belittled if he does not bring in sufficient money to help keep food on the table. He is the gang member who has nothing to lose because he sees no escape from the prison of poverty. He sees no life outside of Step Street and its drive-by shootings.
Stop! Think! How can we show them an alternative reality? Now let’s act to create this alternative reality.

When you first use Molly’s Suds you may notice some smells are appearing that didn’t seem to be there before. Our pure Laundry Powder lifts out the build up from your previous detergent and fabric softeners including a dangerous toxin called Galaxolide. It is a synthetic musk added to detergents and fools you into thinking your perfume, underarm odor and sweat stink is gone! It is simply covered up, it’s not right and so we do not try to trick our customers by adding in these toxic cover ups. To get rid of this stink and build up use 1/2 cup of distilled white vinegar in your wash the first several loads, allow it to soak for an hour or so. The vinegar will also help to remove the build up in your washing machine. If you have stinky armpits, get the armpit of the shirt damp and apply a drop or two of natural dish soap or our All Sport and rub it in, let it sit and toss in the washer and odors will be gone! Deodorant and antiperspirant (mostly petroleum based) is the cause of the build up, it traps the odors. Try switching to a coconut oil based deodorant like Primal Pit Paste.
Pre-treating stains is KEY to successful stain removing.
Rinse the stain with tepid water through the back of the stain. This pushes the protein out of the fabric instead of forcing it deep into the fibers! Add a drop of All Sport (or dish soap) and gently scrub by rubbing the fabric against itself. Rinse. Now add a sprinkle of baking soda and rub it in. Rinse. Now Repeat both steps. Done. It should be gone. If the stain sat too long before an intervention could be done, let the All Sport mixed with a little water sit on the stain until you are ready to do a load of laundry. They key is early intervention! Club soda works well instead of water for wine spills and hydrogen peroxide is great instead of water for red sauce-based stains.
Received hand-me-downs with old stains?
Hand-me-downs is a right of passage for most of us growing up. Sometimes they come with old grease-like spots or stains. The following steps will help to remove or at least make the stains unnoticeable! First you want to separate the colors from the lights. Let’s start with the colors. Find the stain and get it damp. Apply a drop of All Sport or natural dish soap and rub it in with a soft toothbrush. Rinse. Repeat and let it sit for a few minutes. Add a small amount of vinegar, about 1/2 teaspoon and toss it aside moving on to the next item of clothing. After you have a pile of clothes treated, toss them into the washer and add 1 scoop Molly’s Suds Laundry Powder and wash as you would.
For the light colored/ clothing and whites, you will do the same exact method, but when you toss them in the washer, add 1 cup hydrogen peroxide or non-chlorine bleach (same thing as hydrogen peroxide but sold in detergent section). Let it soak for an hour or 2 and then wash as normal.
Grass and red clay are the hardest to get out of fabric even if you do use a harsh detergent. We recommend rubbing natural dish soap into the fabric or All Sport, pouring enough vinegar on it to cover the stain and then letting that sit for at least an hour. When about an hour has past, put the clothing item into just enough warm water to cover it and add 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar. It’s a mild acid, restores and renews colors and helps remove stains and build up! Let it soak for another hour. Then add 1 scoop Molly’s Suds Laundry Powder and wash as you normally would.
We formulated Molly’s Suds All Sport with enzymes and plant based fatty acids that are non-toxic but super effective at getting out the stink! The key is a small load, cool water (not icy, not warm) and at least a 30-minute soak. Let it agitate for a minute, stop the cycle and let it soak. if you have a high efficiency machine, set your machine to pre-soak or soak the items in a utility sink or tub first, then wash as usual in your machine. All Sport is Ah-maz-ing!! Stinky shoes, stinky pits, stinky clothes… All Sport!
Cloth diaper stink is caused by: too much water in the cycle, too little water, too much detergent, too little detergent, soft water, hard water (usually the culprit), and/or not enough diapers in the wash, causing a lack of friction. So, let’s troubleshoot! It works best to do a hot rinse, a regular cycle wash with 2 scoops of Molly’s Suds Oxygen Whitener, and then a rinse with no powder. If you are still getting stink, run less water in your machine or add more diapers. They need friction. You can use 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar in the load; it helps with ammonia issues and build-up if you are just switching to Molly’s Suds. Stripping diapers is a last resort. Most issues are resolved after a few washes. It’s usually because the natural formula of Molly’s Suds is pulling build up out of the diapers from the previous products used. Most of the laundry brands for cloth diapers on the market today contain fillers or fragrance. Visit our very informative cloth diaper page by clicking here!
Baking soda, distilled white vinegar… you can add anything you’d like to or are already in the habit of doing in your laundry regimen. We recommend 1/4-1/2 distilled white vinegar with towels and sheets because it has antiviral, antimicrobial and antibacterial properties. Never add bleach and vinegar in the same load – it’s a caustic and toxic hazard to human life.
How do I get Whites White?
Dingy whites after switching to Molly’s Suds means you were previously using a product that had optical whiteners in it, along with a list of other toxic ingredients. Mineral deposits in the fabric and in hard water cause dingy whites. Check out our new Oxygen Whitener which uses sodium percarbonate and other earth derived ingredients to aid in breaking down the hard water minerals and bring back your whites! Follow up by hanging clothes to dry in the sun, which naturally bleaches them; it really does work!
We hope these tips and tricks to remove stains and stink helps out! Congratulations on the Quest to healthier living and a chemical free home for you and your family! From our family to yours, thank you for choosing Molly’s Suds!

The names subsequently given to the ore, nickeline from F. S. Beudant, 1832, and niccolite, from J. D. Dana, 1868, refer to the presence of nickel; in Latin, niccolum.
In 1971, the International Mineralogical Association recommended use of the name nickeline rather than niccolite.
Nickeline is formed by hydrothermal modification of ultramafic rocks and associated ore deposits, and may be formed by replacement of nickel-copper bearing sulfides (replacing pentlandite, and in association with copper arsenic sulfides), or via metasomatism of sulfide-free ultramafic rocks, where metasomatic fluids introduce sulfur, carbonate, and arsenic. This typically results in mineral assemblaged including millerite, heazelwoodite and metamorphic pentlandite-pyrite via sulfidation and associated arsenopyrite-nickeline-breithauptite.
Associated minerals include: arsenopyrite, barite, silver, cobaltite, pyrrhotite, pentlandite, chalcopyrite, breithauptite and maucherite. Nickeline alters to annabergite (a coating of green nickel arsenate) on exposure to moist air.
Most of these minerals can be found in the areas surrounding Sudbury and Cobalt, Ontario. Other localities include the eastern flank of the Widgiemooltha Dome, Western Australia, from altered pentlndite-pyrite-pyrrhotite assemblages within the Mariners, Redross and Miitel nickel mines where nickeline is produced by regional Au-As-Ag-bearing alteration and carbonate metasomatism. Other occurrences include within similarly modified nickel mines of the Kambalda area.
The unit cell of nickeline is used as the prototype of a class of solids with similar crystal structures. It consists of arsenic atoms in a distorted hexagonal close-packed structure with nickel atoms in "octahedral" sites, which in NiAs have distorted to become trigonal prismatic. Compounds adopting the NiAs structure are generally the chalcogenides, arsenides, antimonides and bismuthides of transition metals.
Nickeline is rarely used as a source of nickel due to the presence of arsenic, which is deleterious to most smelting and milling techniques. When nickel sulfide ore deposits have been altered to produce nickeline, often the presence of arsenic renders the ore uneconomic when concentrations of As reach several hundred parts per million. However, arsenic bearing nickel ore may be treated by blending with 'clean' ore sources, to produce a blended feedstock which the mill and smelter can handle with acceptable recovery.
The primary problem for treating nickeline in conventionally constructed nickel mills is the specific gravity of nickeline versus that of pentlandite. This renders the ore difficult to treat via the froth flotation technique. Within the smelter itself, the nickeline contributes to high arsenic contents which require additional reagents and fluxes to strip from the nickel metal.

German researchers have uncovered a critical link between obesity and diabetes. As reported by MPG.de, a sub-population of immune cells known as natural killer (NK) cells were found to increase the risk of diabetes.
The researchers discovered these cells during the course of a different study, one that looked at how the immune system reacts to obesity and what complications may arise from this response. Through this they found NK cells, which normally target malignant cells.
However, the researchers noted how the NK cells of obese mice were markedly different from the NK cells of normal-weight mice. Specifically, these NK cells expressed a few myeloid lineage genes, the most striking of which was the colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (Csf1r). Also known as the macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor (M-CSFR), this gene is known for its role in activating the immune system and promoting insulin resistance, the forerunner of diabetes.
By extracting blood samples from obese patients, the researchers found these variations of NK cells were found in humans as well. Based on their findings, study co-author and physician scientist at the Max-Planck-Institute for Metabolism Research Sebastian Theurich has recommended dieting as a way to ward off diabetes. “If our obese patients went on a strict diet, losing up to 30 kilograms, the number of altered killer cells also decreased, as well as the level of systemic inflammation and the risk for diabetes,” elaborated Theurich.
In addition to dieting, genetic modification was cited as another possible method of decreasing the likelihood of diabetes. Mice who were fed on a fat-enriched diet managed to avoid gaining weight and developing insulin resistance when the researchers modified the NK cells. These modifications prevented the NK cell sub-population from properly developing, which in turn allowed the fatty-food mice to remain the same weight as the mice from a control group.
“This sub-population of killer cells could provide an effective point of attack for new therapeutic approaches if we succeeded to selectively switch them off,” said Theurich.
Upwards of 90 percent of people who are diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes are overweight.
The increasing childhood obesity rates have contributed to the rise of children and adolescents being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. In the United States, roughly 17 percent or 12.5 million children between the ages of two and 19 are obese.
The researchers behind a 2007 study found that morbidly obese patients who underwent gastric bypass surgery reduced their long-term mortality from diabetes by 92 percent.

Lam, Ping Ngai (1996) Testing of delay-insensitive circuits using protocol extraction strategies. PhD thesis, Concordia University.
Delay-insensitive (DI) circuits are asynchronous circuits whose functional correctness is independent of the delays in their components and the interconnecting wires. The environment and circuit module follows a specified usage protocol, sometimes called handshake signals. It has been believed that purely DI circuits are easy to test because any fault will prevent the generation of an acknowledge signal. We show that this is not always true under a general set of components. A Petri net fault model is used to reveal the possibility of critical races/hazards during test. A design for test method using observation points is shown which guarantees 100% fault coverage, and structural theorems are proved which can reduce/eliminate these observation points. No automated techniques exist so far for reducing the test length of these circuits, in particular, two-phase transition signaling circuits which contain implicit state encoding. Since there can be very few combinational components, classic scan design would not apply. A theory for control point insertion is presented for test length reduction. The major difficulty is in deriving a safe hazard-free test; the specified usage protocol does not directly apply because of the alterations made. Algorithms based on partial order protocol extraction and partial states are presented which produce provably correct test behaviors. Finally, an impossibility result is proved for fault tolerance in the most common class of DI circuit.

Another category of restroom is called the Three fourth restroom. In this type, a toilet along with sink and shower is provided. However, these terms and designations are not strictly applied to these types of bathroom constructions. In fact, the terms used for different bathroom remodeling types vary from market to market. For instance, there are some markets in the United States where the term full bath is used for a toilet, sink, and shower. Not having uniformity in use of terms and definitions for various bathroom types has led to confusion and discrepancies in advertised and actual bathrooms.

Today bathroom can be anything: from conceptual to low-key pretentious luxury. The choice of bathroom design depends entirely on the attitude and preferences of owners of the house. You can create a bathroom design in tune with the overall style of the rest rooms, or giving the imagination, equip the interior of a bathroom in any style. The bathroom can be different and the only limit to your imagination will probably be bathroom footage.

In her few years of life, three-year-old Cora Gustafson has gone through more than most do in a lifetime. Just after her first birthday, Cora started exhibiting strange behaviors. Her stumbling, shaking and disturbing “jerky” eye movements alarmed her parents who immediately took her to the emergency department at Dayton Children’s Hospital.
Kristi and Josh Gustafson, relieved and hopeful, took their youngest daughter back home. Unfortunately, her symptoms worsened becoming more persistent and violent. Another trip to the ER and more scans revealed a tumor in Cora’s chest: neuroblastoma. For a very few, one in ten million, a rare autoimmune condition can accompany this diagnosis. Cora had also developed opsoclonus myoclonus syndrome (OMS). OMS is characterized by cerebellar brain damage that is caused by a remote cancer. In Cora’s case, her neuroblastoma triggered a disordered autoimmune response where her body made antibodies that aggressively attacked her brain cells causing the myriad of terrifying symptoms.
Treated by Dr. Emmett Broxson, who recently retired from Dayton Children’s Hospital after 25 years as the medical director of hematology/oncology, Cora spent two weeks inpatient after removal of the tumor and subsequent chemotherapy and antibody infusions.
If the cancer was not enough, Cora’s family had to come to terms with the idea that she might be very disabled. By the time she returned home, Cora had lost her speech and her muscle control. Under Dr. Broxson’s constant care and the wonderful therapists and support at Dayton Children’s Hospital, Cora has gained back her muscle control and is “doing great”.
For Cora’s older sisters, Ava, Liezl and Quincy, this was a lot to take in. As a family, the Gustafsons have worked hard to be positive and happy and not let worry and anxiety about Cora’s condition overwhelm them. When they learned Cora qualified for a wish through the Dayton Chapter of A Special Wish Foundation, they were very excited.
Since her diagnosis, Cora has had nine rounds of chemotherapy and regular infusions of antibodies, countless scans and blood tests, and therapies to improve the effects of her brain damage. Finally healthy enough, Cora and her family went to Give Kids the World Village (GKTW) for her third birthday. GKTW is a 70-acre nonprofit resort located near Florida’s family attractions where children with life-threatening illnesses are treated to a weeklong fantasy vacation. There the Gustafsons found a place where they and other families could come together in community and lean on one another while enjoying a trip of a lifetime.
The family visited Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and Sea World, but by far the favorite part of the trip for Cora was meeting Mary Poppins. She made Cora feel so special, seeking her out to create a magical moment. Disney cast members visit GKTW Village twice a week to connect directly with wish families to give them more time and attention.
Cora’s trip was also made possible by the University of Dayton’s Distance 4 Dreams (D4D). A unique service organization, D4D sponsors the Special Wish of a local child by raising money to run the annual Disney Marathon.
It truly takes the entire community for wishes come true for children like Cora. The Dayton Chapter of A Special Wish Foundation coordinates these efforts to make these dreams a reality. To get involved, please visit the organization’s website at www.aspecialwish.org or 937-223-WISH (9474).

THE day after our arrival, continued the postilion, I was sent, under the guidance of a lackey of the place, with a letter, which the priest, when he left, had given us for a friend of his in the Eternal City. We went to a large house, and on ringing were admitted by a porter into a cloister, where I saw some ill-looking, shabby young fellows walking about, who spoke English to one another. To one of these the porter delivered the letter, and the young fellow, going away, presently returned and told me to follow him; he led me into a large room where, behind a table on which were various papers and a thing which they call, in that country, a crucifix, sat a man in a kind of priestly dress. The lad having opened the door for me, shut it behind me, and went away. The man behind the table was so engaged in reading the letter which I had brought, that at first he took no notice of me; he had red hair, a kind of half-English countenance, and was seemingly about five-and- thirty. After a little time he laid the letter down, appeared to consider a moment, and then opened his mouth with a strange laugh, not a loud laugh, for I heard nothing but a kind of hissing deep down the throat; all of a sudden, however, perceiving me, he gave a slight start, but, instantly recovering himself, he inquired in English concerning the health of the family, and where we lived: on my delivering him a card, he bade me inform my master and the ladies that in the course of the day he would do himself the honour of waiting upon them. He then arose and opened the door for me to depart. The man was perfectly civil and courteous, but I did not like that strange laugh of his after having read the letter. He was as good as his word, and that same day paid us a visit. It was now arranged that we should pass the winter in Rome - to my great annoyance, for I wished to return to my native land, being heartily tired of everything connected with Italy. I was not, however, without hope that our young master would shortly arrive, when I trusted that matters, as far as the family were concerned, would be put on a better footing. In a few days our new acquaintance, who, it seems, was a mongrel Englishman, had procured a house for our accommodation; it was large enough, but not near so pleasant as that we had at Naples, which was light and airy, with a large garden. This was a dark gloomy structure in a narrow street, with a frowning church beside it; it was not far from the place where our new friend lived, and its being so was probably the reason why he selected it. It was furnished partly with articles which we bought, and partly with those which we hired. We lived something in the same way as at Naples; but though I did not much like Naples, I yet liked it better than this place, which was so gloomy. Our new acquaintance made himself as agreeable as he could, conducting the ladies to churches and convents, and frequently passing the afternoon drinking with the governor, who was fond of a glass of brandy and water and a cigar, as the new acquaintance also was - no, I remember, he was fond of gin and water, and did not smoke. I dont think he had so much influence over the young ladies as the other priest, which was, perhaps, owing to his not being so good-looking; but I am sure he had more influence with the governor, owing, doubtless, to his bearing him company in drinking mixed liquors, which the other priest did not do.

After replacing the web copy with the one provided by ProWritingHub, our site’s organic traffic increased enormously. I can’t thank ProWritingHub enough for making such a huge difference.
We didn’t had time nor the expertise to write SEO articles, so we outsourced it to ProWritingHub. The result was far better than we expected. Out site experienced an increase in organic traffic of 50%.

We’ve recently made some changes to the way we work with time zones in Paydirt. If you use Paydirt alone, or if all of your team are in the same time zone, this change won’t affect you. But if you use Paydirt with a team that works across different time zones, read on.
Suppose Mike, the team manager, lives in California, and his team mate Tom lives in New York (three hours ahead of Mike).
We presented the start and end of time logs to each user in their own time zone. If Tom logged time between 9am and 11am over in New York, Mike (in California) would see that time log in his own time zone, 6am to 8am.
If Tom logs time between 9am and 11am on Monday, Mike (and everyone else on the team) will also see that time as 9am to 11am on Monday, no matter which time zone they are in.
Displaying times in your own time zone is normally fine, and in some cases good. But it can cause problems when time is logged around midnight, or when time zones are very different. This can result in time logs appearing on different dates to different users.
If you’re submitting your timesheet for approval it’s important that you and your manager are speaking the same language about what happened on what day.
In short: Our new approach guarantees that everybody sees the same time logs and totals for each day.
What will happen to existing time logs?
Time that was logged before we made this change (Monday 23rd March, 2015) will be shown to everybody in the account owner’s time zone.
This means that the account owner won’t see any changes, ensuring consistency with reports and invoices that they created in the past.
Team members who logged time in a different time zone to their account owner will see changes to time that they logged before Monday 23rd March, 2015. All time logged before that date has been converted your account owner’s time zone. From the example above, Tom would now see his time according to Mike’s time zone (California time – 6am to 8am, instead of New York time – 9am to 11am), because Mike is the account owner.
All time that you log from Monday 23rd March onwards will be displayed to you and all of your team mates with the same start and end times, regardless of where they live.
If you would prefer time logs to be converted to the time zone of the user who logged it, we can help. Please email Nicholas at nicholas@paydirtapp.com who will be able to discuss the options and update your data for you.
Confused? Concerned? Want to talk?
Time zones are confusing, so if you’d like more information or have any questions, email Nicholas to chat.
