It's time for clients and agencies to stop being creatures of habit, writes JR Little, strategy director, Carat Global Management.
In March 2012, I had the privilege to stand on the Economist Big Rethink Conference stage in London and assert, "Branding is Dead".
I use the word "assert" because at that time, I worked at a top branding agency and had few proof points to support my claim.
However, I had a gut instinct; I had noticed a significant change in the types of briefs we received from companies, and a change in the way branding agencies attempted to describe their business and offering.
We received few strategic briefs and our competitors were desperately trying to redefine how they describe branding. As much as branding agencies say that they are about more than logos, they are still, at the end of the day, largely about logos.
As a former-supposed senior-level brand strategist, I think it’s time clients are let in on two disruptive secrets: 1. Branding agencies are antiquated, and 2. Most marketers waste a lot of budget in the development stages of projects.
After 15 years of trying to be more than logos and taglines in both advertising and branding agencies, I realized that branding was indeed dead, advertising was wasteful, and the traditional strategic communications ways of working should be rethought and reversed by putting media and tech relationships first. And those agencies and clients that embrace the disruption first, will stand out and prosper.
The most recent attempt of branding agencies to reinvent themselves is around the idea of user experience. However, this is just the most recent, and failed attempt to assert that branding is more than logo design.
The current user experiences or journeys that are designed by brand and advertising agencies are often a collection of re-skinned and disconnected touch points rather than an insightful look at the consumer journey.
Without a keen knowledge of the consumers’ media and technology behaviors, an agency has no ability to design a useful experience. In fact, the current user experiences or journeys that are designed by brand and advertising agencies are often a collection of re-skinned and disconnected touch points rather than an insightful look at the consumer journey.
There seems to be an assumption on the part of many agencies that the connection between the touch points will magically create an ecosystem that changes consumer behavior – this is a false hope. Note to all, the connections between touch points are now more important than touch points themselves; we are living in a hypertextual reality (eg, to share is more important than to simply see).
We’re all creatures of habit. And today’s strategic communications industry reinforces habit. It’s time that we on the agency side embrace disruptions like our clients. Since the launch of smart phones, complete industries have been disrupted - newspapers fall to Twitter, hotels shut because of Airbnb, new car sales decline because of Zip Car.
The tech revolution has happened and some long-established businesses as well as ways of working are now irrelevant. Therefore, it makes sense that some strategic communications businesses and ways of working are irrelevant as well. Do we need branding agencies anymore; what about advertising agencies?
Here’s my point, the strategic communications industry was designed to serve a communications environment that doesn’t exist anymore: TV, print, and in-store environments are not the centre of a user’s experience. As a matter of fact, the user experience has become a fragmented one where different devices compete for the user’s attention and the user’s attention span gradually decreases.
Social media and technology should have reversed the strategic communications development process by now. Yet, marketers all too often turn to old processes, methodologies and ways of working for new answers; they look to branding and advertising for the answers and expertise that only media and tech experts can provide. As a result, budget is wasted on an esoteric exploration of "big ideas", "essences", "taglines" and "logos" instead of investing in socially-connected technologies and content creations that their consumers want and love.
Here’s an epiphany for marketers: you are far smarter than you think and you can brand your own product or corporation.
Here’s an epiphany for marketers: you are far smarter than you think and you can brand your own product or corporation – download a book from Amazon, read it on your tablet, host a brain storm, test it with some groups, and save your budget 500K or more. And, your logo is fine.
Its time we rethink and reverse the ways of working. Traditionally, the branding agency would develop a poetic idea that was expressed in visuals and words, yet often too esoteric and hard to apply to the real world (eg, mood boards and brand essence). Then the traditional advertising agency would interpret the brand work for more immediate communications needs and business goals (eg, tagline and the overused big idea). Last, the media agency would be asked to simply buy the right spots (as cheap as possible) to show up in front of the consumer.
This one-way communications model and flow of work was highly effective when traditional TV, print and in-store environments were important consumer touch points, but those days are long gone. Today, content that is shared in real-time across tech is critical. Thus, the internal flow of work should be flipped from brand-ad-media to media-ad-brand. Understanding your consumers’ world, deeper motivations and daily behaviours should be the start, not the end.
Consumers are savvy; they know how branding works. Today, consumers want usefulness, entertainment or exquisite creations. And, the type of technology and media that they interact with everyday affects the tones, messages and behaviours that brands should exhibit. Let's use toilet paper as an example.
A traditional branding agency attempts to tell the client about the deeper purpose and brand essence of their toilet paper brand, whereas a media agency will tell the client that a consumer uses a smart phone every time they are on the toilet and often can’t find a clean toilet to use when away from home or work. If you listen to the media agency, you will spot an opportunity to differentiate. And before you know it, the realities of how consumers use toilet paper affect the ways you interact with them (media), the types of conversations you have become secondary (advertising) the characteristics of the pack come last (branding). Technology (eg, tablets) and tech companies (eg, Amazon) have shifted the retail shelf online. This means that companies must spend less resource on branding environments, and more on developing strategic content.
The flow of communications development is thus reversed. The consumers’ reality, finally and truly, is prioritised, and "your idea of what your brand should be" is secondary to the consumers’ needs and wants. After all, your brand has no value without a consumers’ renewed appreciation, everyday, and that’s something that even branding, advertising and media agencies can agree on. Who needs memorable experiences, when these can be placed in the consumers’ augmented new realities?
There is hope. It’s time that agencies divorce themselves from traditional titles like branding, advertising, communications, PR and media. Sure, these buckets make it easier to distribute industry awards in the South of France or collate and distribute conglomerates’ annual reports to shareholders around the world, but they are not in the best interests of clients or clients’ consumers.
These traditional industry models are a straight jacket; they are force fitting a new tech-savvy and socially-connected reality into old ways of working. Why can’t we have a new wave of agencies designed around consumer connections, human behaviour change, and content communications? The first clients and agencies to dare to flip the model on its head will stand out and succeed. Try putting media first, you might find that between yourself, your media agency and your consumer, you can find all the answers you need.

What kind of conditions can be treated with the SRT-100™?
What is the cure rate of basal and squamous cell skin cancer when treated with the SRT-100™?
The SRT-100™ is comparable to surgery and is 95 percent plus effective in curing basal and squamous cell skin cancer.
What is the cure rate for keloids with the SRT-100™?
The SRT-100™ is very effective in treating keloids and boasts a cure rate of 94 percent plus.
Depending on the treatment protocol your physician chooses for your particular case, you may need several treatments per week for up to several weeks.
Is the SRT-100™ a safe treatment option?
The SRT-100™ is a safe and proven technology that effectively treats non-melanoma skin cancers, keloid scarring, actinic keratosis and Kaposi’s sarcoma. It is utilized by dermatologists and radiation oncologists all over the world because it delivers good patient outcomes.
What should I expect from SRT-100™ treatment?
Why is the SRT-100™ a viable alternative to surgery?
The SRT-100™ doesn’t harm surrounding or underlying healthy tissue while targeting cancer cells. The SRT-100™ provides excellent cosmetic outcomes and is a great alternative for patients with various co-morbidities.
Will I need reconstructive surgery post treatment?
No. The SRT-100™ is a non-invasive procedure. Since it does not require incisions, patients are not left with any scarring post-treatment.
Is the SRT-100™ cleared by the FDA?
Yes, the SRT-100™ has been cleared by the Federal Drug Administration for use on the entire body—making it especially effective in the treatment of non-melanoma skin cancer and keloid scars.
What is informed consent and what does it involve?
In cases where there are larger possible risks, you may be asked to agree in writing to the doctor’s plan for your care. This is part of informed consent. It recognizes your need to know about a procedure, surgery, or treatment, before you decide whether to have it.
It’s common to go through the informed consent process before starting cancer treatment. If you are getting more than one type of treatment, you will likely need separate informed consents for surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation.
After your first talk with your doctor, you may have only a general idea of the treatment plan. You’ll likely want to know more so that you can think about the ways this plan may affect your health and your life. In order to freely decide whether the risks are worth the benefits you expect to get from the treatment plan, you must understand the risks and drawbacks of the plan. Most people find that they need to get some questions answered before they can decide on a treatment plan that carries some risk for them.
You are told about the risks and benefits of other options, including not getting treatment.
You are able to use the information to make a decision that you think is in your own best interest.
If you have gone through these steps and decide to agree to the treatment or procedure, you are usually asked to sign a paper called a consent form. The completed and signed consent form is a legal document that lets your doctor go ahead with the treatment plan. The consent form names the procedure or treatment to be done. The rest of the form may be very general, stating only that you have been told about the risks of the treatment and other available options. Or it may be very detailed, outlining what the risks and other options are. Depending on how it’s presented, you may sign for one certain procedure or treatment, or you may give blanket approval for any treatments and procedures that the health provider decides are needed.
A doctor or nurse must make every effort to be sure the patient understands the purpose, benefits, risks, and other options of the test or treatment. Then the doctor or nurse must get the patient’s consent before starting. In some cases, even a simple blood test or an injection (“shot”) requires written consent from the patient.
As long as adult patients are mentally able to make their own decisions, medical care cannot begin unless they give informed consent.
If the patient is a minor (under age), has a serious mental disability, or cannot give consent, then the parent, legal guardian, or a person authorized by the court must give consent before treatment can start. This is usually a close family member who has reason to know what the patient would want. (See “Who besides the patient can give consent?” in the section “What are the legal requirements of informed consent?”) As some very public court cases have shown, an elaborate legal system is in place to guide cases in which the patient is mentally or physically unable to give informed consent for treatment. These cases have come up when the patient is in a coma (unconscious) or on life support.
Sometimes health care workers refer to the consent form itself as an “informed consent.” This is not quite accurate. Informed consent is the process and actions that take place as you learn about and think about a treatment before you agree to it. Your signature on the form is taken to be evidence that this took place. If you decide that you do not want the procedure or treatment, you should not sign the consent form. In this case, you may be asked to sign an informed refusal form or a form that states you are choosing not to follow medical advice. Your signature on this form implies that you know the risks of refusing, so be sure that you understand these risks and know your other options before you sign.
What are the installation requirements for the SRT-100™?
The SRT-100™ is a compact, low-profile unit that has a space-saving 30” x 30” footprint. Medical-grade wheels and a standard wall socket plug-in make it easy to position the unit nearby so you can provide patients with safe, painless and effective treatment right in your office instead of referring them to another care provider.
What is the difference between the SRT-100™ and other radiation therapy machines?
Unlike more powerful radiation therapy devices, the SRT-100™ delivers a precise, calibrated low-dose that does not penetrate below the surface of the skin. As a result, the SRT-100™ does not harm surrounding or underlying healthy tissue while targeting cancer cells or keloid scars. The SRT-100™ offers multiple energies to maximize the treatment results for various indications and lesions. Additionally, the SRT-100™ requires no consumables leading to substantial cost savings.
The SRT-100™ is comparable to surgery and is 95% plus effective in curing basal and squamous cell skin cancer.
Are there any consumables I will need to buy and/or replace?
No, the SRT-100™ does not require consumables.
What areas of the body can be treated with the SRT-100™?
The SRT-100™ can be used to treat lesions on the arms, legs, back and trunk, but it is especially well suited for skin cancers of the head and neck regions—the fold in the nose, eyelids, lips, corners of the mouth, and the lining of the ear—areas that would otherwise lead to a less than desirable cosmetic outcome. SRT is also a great treatment option for patients who are considered high risk for surgical procedures.

Coinciding with positive economic growth, the volume of job advertisements in Luxembourg continued to rise during the first quarter of 2015 by 16% year-on-year and 12% over the past quarter, according to the latest Robert Walters European Job Index.
Banking and financial services, which dominates the employment market in the country, saw an 11% increase in job advertisements compared to the final quarter of 2014. However, while this shows volumes are recovering in this sector they are still down by 7% year-on-year, as some banks continued to outsource some of their back and middle office functions and utilised new technologies to drive efficiencies in the sector.
The jobs market has been increasingly active in the first quarter and the figures show that the positive trends of last year have been sustained in 2015. We continued to see an increase in the volume of positions available, as well as further inflow of foreign professionals, particularly from France, attracted by the rewarding working environment and competitive salaries. While the demand for new talent in banking and financial services cooled somewhat in 2014, the market is still highly transient, so the movement of jobs and need for candidates remains strong.
Faced by a backlog of IT improvements following years of underinvestment during the recession, financial services businesses in particular are now seeking IT professionals to implement large scale system and IT infrastructure upgrades. This demand is evident by the 17% quarterly increase and 16% year-on-year rise in IT job advertisements.
In accounting and finance, the volume of adverts rose 21% in the first quarter of 2015. This surge tallies with the end of the tax year, and overall the sector is expected to remain highly active. In particular, the “Big4” accounting firms employ hundreds of entry level accountants each year, many of whom move on quickly after qualification. This means job movements in this sector are relatively frequent.
Increasing regulatory demands by the financial regulator CSSF (Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier) have driven a 13% quarterly and yearly rise in adverts for compliance professionals. This has also impacted the legal sector, where there was a 5% quarterly rise in advertisements for legal experts.
Both directly and indirectly, financial services fuels the jobs market in Luxembourg, particularly in IT and compliance where the changing face of the industry is driving demand for specific skills. Furthermore, fund accountants and managers remain highly sought after as the significant inflow of funds continues, coupled with large multinationals establishing holding companies in Luxembourg. The influence of the improving global economy is also boosting the jobs market and we hope to see the positive trends in Q1 continue into the remainder of the year.

Sienna Lane has finally got her life the way she wants it to be.
A steady job at the local gym? Check.
An awesome sister as a roommate? Check.
A perfect boyfriend who adores and loves her? Check.
Sienna thinks she has everything figured out. That is until she discovers that her boyfriend has been screwing around with her very own sister.
To make things worse, god has decided to bestow upon her the presence of Kayden Williams. He's moody, resentful and has a lot of issues, but he is indeed a great fighter - perhaps one of the best if it weren't for the fact that he has been defeated in the ring by none other than Sienna's ex.
Both of them need each other more than they think they do. Kayden wants glory and Sienna needs him to fuel her revenge as well as a place to stay. She makes a deal with him to train him for the biggest fight of his life against her own ex-boyfriend in exchange for living in his apartment.
Boundaries have been set. Both Kayden and Sienna have to stick to the rules and play nice. But that is proven difficult considering the fact that maybe... they don't dislike each other as much as they think they do.
In fact, they may just be addicted to each other.
18 year old Florence Remy has three things that mean the world to her: Books, her parents, and her parents' coffee shop, the Espresso House, in downtown Brooklyn, New York. As a small business amongst huge corporations, Florence and her parents struggle to make ends meet. However, they remain optimistic and happy. The coffee shop may not bring in much, but it's enough to keep them on their feet.
But what happens when a group of dangerous Brooklyn mobsters force Florence's parents into giving them co-ownership of the shop? Crime boss and leader Wolfe Sterling takes a great interest in the tunnels that lead past the Espresso House cellar. Dirty business is what he's best at and dragging people into his dangerous (and illegal) activities are no bother. But things go sideways when he also takes a strange interest in Florence.
Paisley Devoncourt is your typical sweetheart of the family that every parent is proud of. Smart, caring, responsible, and reliable. With her life set and planned she doesn't expect that life could change on her at any moment; all because of one, sympathetic and vulnerable night. Of course, the boy that helps her change her life, the proclaimed bad boy of the town; JC Ace.
JC Ace, bad boy with a reputation, a dark childhood, and scars that no one can empathize over. He's the school's delinquent, the town's gossip, and the result of a sinful teenage mistake. And some how, he's drawn to tell the goody-two-shoes sweetheart all his problems.

Isaac N. Seymour (also called Seymour, I_N. Scvmour. and J. N. Seyn~our) was built at Keyport, N.J., in 1860 and was purchased by the Navy at New York from NIr. Schultz 26 October 1861. She was assigned to the North ltlantic Blockading Squadron 20 Novelllber and 3 days later was stationed in Hampton Roads. While there she joined three other ships in engaging Confederate steamer Patrick Henry and drove her back up stream.
A month later Flag Offlcer Goldsborough ordered Isaac N. Seymour to Hatteras Inlet for impending operations in the sounds of North Carolina. She participated in the combined operations which took Roanoke Island 8 February, and at the end of the action she was commended for being "con.spicuously in the foreground throughout the bombardment." One of her powdermen`-as killed and her chief engineer was seriously wounded in the fight.
The next day Isaac N. Seymour steamed up Piankatank River to Elizabeth City, N.C., with Comdr. Rowan's expedition to destroy enemy gunboats and to break up communications between Albemarle Sound and Norfolk, Va. She continued mop-up operations in the sounds until she struck an abandoned anchor in Hatteras Inlet 20 February and sank before she could be run aground.
She was raised, repaired, and returned to service in May. She resumed her former duty and continued to give a good account of herself in the sounds until 24 August when she struck a bank and sank in the Neuse River some 3 miles above New Bern while steaming upstream to cover a landing of troops. A month later she .~was reported raised and on the ways being readied for service.
Confederate troops attacked the Union garrison at Washington NC, 31 March 1863 establishing a seige wich threatened to starve the Northern troops into surrender. Isaac N. Seymour departed Plymouth 2 April to play an active role in the naval operations which despite well served batteries ashore, brought the beleugured soldiers food and ammunition. The Southern troops were finally forced to lift the blockade 16 April. Once again the daring and versatile Navy had been decisive in holding a hard pressed position for the North.
lsaac A~ Seymour was a part of the task force which started up the James River 11 July to demonstrate against Richmond. The high point of the expedition came 14 July when Rear Admiral S. P. Leet flying his flag in lsaac A~ Seymour occupied Fort Powatan, the last Confederate defense on the river below Chaffln's and Drewry's Bluff.
Isaac V. Seymour coninued to serve in the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron—maintaining Union control of North Carolina's inland waters and supporting Army operations from the James and York Rivers as General Grant supplied and supported by water, relentlessly pressed toward Richmond and victory.

As the title suggests I need to find a replacement for my trusty old WM918 that I bought in 2002 & is still going strong (believe it or not, I must have got a good one). I have sold our rural property & left the station there.
Looking at my profile , I joined in 2002 & last posted in 2009! I was using vers 10.7 of WD!
So no doubt weather stations have improved a bit since 2002 & so has WD no doubt.
I found that WD gave me all that I wanted except for access to historical records, so I wrote my own program (Dbase4!) yeah i'm an old timer , eh. THe program pulled the data from the csv files that WD created & I compiled a report that I could print out at the end of the year that listed each days weather, ie max temp, min temp, max wind, av wind, day rain etc. Each day was listed in order & then subtotalled with averages at the end of the month. The yearly figures were also then averaged. AT the end of each years report I had the top 10 , hottest days, coldest days, windiest days, wettest days etc.
I had these records since 2003 so I had nearly 20 years of local weather data.
SO i guess I am asking is there any thing out there that can do this for me as I havent got the energy & time anymore to spend weeks on doing this again.
Looking at the newer stations they dont seem to fare too well on historical data at all.
BTW is Brian Hamilton still the owner of WD?
cheers & thanks for any help anyone can offer.
have you seen the climate reports that WD can generate?
Glad to hear you are still around. Hope all is well.
can you point me to a sample of the reports?
Another thought that occured to me is that if i went for a new station that WD supports, would the csv files still be the same, ie have the same data in them as my old files from the WM918? If that was the case then I could still use what I had created in DBase to print my reports.
what version of WD are you using currently?
was using 10.10r, can you remember that long ago?
very nice, ill give it a try. does it pull the data from the csv file?
Brian, it does look good. Is there a way to select a date range as I have 16 years of data! Otherwise the only option seems to print each month at a time?
For info, here is what I did from the csv files.
I used the 2011 file as later was above your file limit.
date range as in ?
have you seen meteotemplate.com ?
Ive been looking at these 2 weather stations.
according to your compatibility list they seem OK Is that correct?

A piece of Indian jewellery that does not at all need an introduction is undeniably the traditional ‘Jhumkas’, also fondly known as ‘Jhumkis’. Old school yet highly in trend always, Jhumkas have been well preserved as a part of the exuberant jewellery culture in India since centuries. A favorite amongst the South Indians, women from different regions and states have not shied away from its allure. Having said that, this ornament has been modified and customised in an array of different styles to tailor the taste buds of women not just in India, but abroad too.
We, at Traditsiya, know the popularity of this charming earring type and hence, have always had Jhumkas as a part of our extensive jewellery collection. The conical bell-shaped chandelier earring is completed with a string of ‘ghungroo’ droplets, sometimes with or without a subtle drop inside the center of the dome. We display an assortment of this beautiful ear adornment distinct to every region and culture in India.
Jhumkas exhibiting antique designs especially in Gold can be traced back to traditions way back in history. Traditsiya’s collection of these customary jhumkas is a class apart. The pairs are festooned with coloured beads to add a dash vivacity.
These are an exclusive to our collection. Kundan has always been our customer’s favourite, and so we designed these classic yet contemporary pair of Kundan Jhumkas with pearl chains attached. All of them have subtle hair chains attached with either the dome bell center with a drop of coloured bead or long strings of pearls hanging down gracefully.
A specialty from Gujarat, the oxidised gold and silver jhumkas are highly popular during navratri. However, the charm of these earrings has gained admiration from all over the country and is high-in-trend now.
Traditisya’s Ear Cuff designs have not left behind jhumkas and it has been amalgamated exquisitely together. Check out the peacock style ones that go around the entire ear, fondly known as ‘Kaan earrings’.
Dangle-drop Jhumkas are broadly branded into an array of types. The designs range from crescent moon shaped hoop (chand balis) to Kashmiri styled jhumkas to conventional danglers attached with the jhumka bell domes.

Attorney Mitch Bierman of Weiss Serota Helfman Cole Bierman & Popok hosted a panel of six of South Florida’s top public and private transit agency heads at the 2nd Annual Miami Dade County Transportation Summit on January 22, 2015 at Miami Dade College’s Downtown Miami Campus.
This isn’t the last you’ll hear about a new courthouse.
Recently, The Bond Buyer reported that underwriters working on the capital improvement plan at PortMiami were scheduled to begin pricing $390 million of seaport revenue bonds to retail investors on September 9, followed by institutional sales on September 10. $360 million of the offering will be new-money bonds that will finance part of a $977 million capital improvement plan to expand the port. The County plans to use $162 million of bond proceeds to finance a portion of the “Deep Dredge Project,” which is expected to increase the depth of the port channel and accommodate larger ships to pass through the port. Bond proceeds will also be spent on infrastructure and terminal improvements, including rail transportation systems to the port, an underwater tunnel, and the purchase of additional cranes to service the ships. The project is aimed to bring increased port business to Miami as an alternative to freight and truck shipping. WSH attorneys serve as the underwriters’ counsel.
On March 29, President Obama flew to South Florida for a tour of PortMiami and to deliver a speech promoting more private investment in public infrastructure projects. The President proposed raising caps on certain municipal and state bonds and making those bonds available for more projects; he also proposed an additional $4 billion in spending toward certain programs that provide funding for transportation projects. The proposals are part of the administration’s “Partnership to Rebuild America,” which include plans to enact a National Infrastructure Bank (“NIB”) capitalized with $10 billion to spend on public works projects throughout the country. The NIB would issue loans and loan guarantees to eligible projects; these loans could extend to 35 years. The administration has yet to release information regarding how these projects would be paid for, but indicated that it would be addressed next month.
WSH Member Susan L. Trevarthen will be speaking at an upcoming live seminar entitled “Digital Signs and Billboards: Crafting and Enforcing Local Regulations.” The seminar will be conducted via phone and the web on Thursday, September 27 from 1 pm to 2:30 pm EST. Affiliates with WSH are eligible to attend the seminar at 50% off. For more information or to register at half price, please call 1-800-926-7926 ext. 10 (mention code: ZDFCT).

I started a new fuzz circuit prototype on the big breadboard that combines diode clipping and transistor clipping on two independently voiced channels. The layout includes two parallel clipping amplifiers with buffered tone contours and a clean blend at the output. The amplifiers are op-amp based diode-limited high-gain pushing good ol’ bipolar transistors which are biased to clip asymmetrically for lots of synthy mid-range harmonics. The idea is to provide a textured fuzz source for driving octaves and bass synth chains for bass and lead tones. If it goes on the big breadboard then it’s pretty important around here.
All great things begin on graph paper. So does a lot of not-so-great things.

Attending film school is not for everyone. Pixel Productions wrote a blog about the positive aspects of going to film school, as well as the negative aspects. This article goes into why it may be beneficial for you not to go to film school.
You will see a lot of similarities in the positive and negative aspects of not going to film school and going to film school, just in reverse order, so I wanted to take a more philosophical look at why you may want to skip film school. It’s not just to save yourself the debt and allow you to jump into your first self funded feature; we will discuss why the film industry, and film school, may be changing in the near future.
No debt out of college – While this is will always be a major factor when deciding whether or not to go to film school, keep this in mind: if you’re not spending all that money on college, can you use it somewhere else? You can use that money to invest in your own equipment, website, and films. It will also give you the opportunity to take your time and figure out exactly what you want to do with your career. You won’t feel the need to jump into the first position you are offered simply because you have loans to pay.
Freedom to try new things – You now have four extra years under your belt and you can apply them to anything. While other people are at film school you can start your own business, you can travel the world, you can work a part time job and save up money. You are completely free to try new things and fail. There is nothing wrong with being bold and throwing caution to the wind. The time to do it is now.
You can be “that guy” – Believe it or not, there is a certain respect for people who go against the norm and skip film school, some of the most prolific filmmakers and directors never went to college, let alone film school. It will be a unique topic of conversation when you are on set. It might mean you have to work harder to prove your worth, but at the same time if you are able to do so, it gives you even more credit.
Learn at your own pace – Lets be completely honest, you can check out every single textbook you will read in college out of your local library. It may not be the exact same book, but the general knowledge is there. Learn film terms, learn about the equipment, learn about the various positions on a film set, and learn about the different types of film production. You can also watch “How To” vidoes online, and watch as many movies as you want to at home through streaming services. You can do this all at your own pace so that other students who are still learning the basics don’t hold you back.
Live at home – While living at home isn’t what every 18 year old wants to do after graduating high school, there are a lot of benefits for doing it. First of all, you will learn very quickly that rent is expensive. It will be nice to save a large portion of your paycheck instead of handing it over to your land lord (unless your landlord is your mom). You can utilize what you have at home to your benefit including turning your house into your own personal sets for short films and your parents and friends for talent.
There is no rush – You’re fresh out of high school with a general knowledge of what kind of career you want to pursue in your life. You are way ahead of a lot of people your age. The fact that you know this gives you a lot more time to find your own path. Take time to study other topics besides just film production. It will broaden your horizons and you’ll realize there is a lot more to life than just filmmaking. You can take this time to learn a new language, or travel the world. Experiences like these can help shape your career in ways you never imagined. There is more to the film world than just Hollywood. Other countries and cultures and languages have their own popular films, genres, and styles. You can travel to Italy and explore the famous Cinecitta film studios, or go to Prague and learn about their rich history in film production. By taking time off from college you are able to learn about yourself and your interests.
Find your own mentors – In every city across the world you are guaranteed to find other film buffs. There are networking groups online where you can meet with fellow filmmakers and discuss production techniques or the latest blockbuster film. Go out and meet these people. You can also get internships with local companies and create their commercials and marketing videos. It may not be Hollywood production but you are still learning how to write, film, edit and produce on a deadline. Research local businessmen, entrepreneurs, and politicians in your area. Express your interests, and more often than not people will point you in a direction that can lead you to others who can help you.
Everyone takes their own path in life.
Many people feel the pressure to go to college and get a “real job” but that simply is not for everyone.
What some people consider to be a successful life, others may consider a huge waste of time, and vice versa. What is important is that you ignore the pressures set on you by society and do what you feel comfortable with. If you do not feel that going to college is the right route for you, then follow your instincts and try something different. There are countless people who never went to college who became some of the most successful people in history.
Stay tuned for part 4 of this series: the negative aspects of not attending college.

The Big Ten currently holds the second-most ESPN 300 commitments among all Power 5 conferences with 54, behind only the SEC, which has 116.
The conference also has five teams ranked in the top 25 of the Class Rankings and 10 ranked in the top 40. Some teams not typically near the top of the rankings have stepped up their recruiting efforts, including Nebraska, Purdue, Michigan State and Wisconsin.
Michigan sits atop the rankings at No. 4 overall and is on pace to finish first in the Big Ten for the first time since ESPN started its class rankings in 2007. Ohio State has held on to that title each year but currently has the No. 12 class overall.
The conference is adding some playmakers and some early-impact prospects for next season. Here is a look at where each team in the Big Ten stands on the recruiting trail.
The Wolverines have the top-ranked class in the conference in what is somewhat of a bounce-back class after Michigan finished No. 20 in the 2018 cycle. Jim Harbaugh made some coaching changes before the 2018 season, adding Ed Warinner and Sherrone Moore and giving assistant Chris Partridge more recruiting responsibilities.
Those changes, along with the efforts of director of recruiting Matt Dudek, helped produce this class for Michigan. Hill, who committed to Michigan early on then flipped to Alabama and back to Michigan on signing day, is an important piece.
The class is full of prospects who could help Michigan early, especially along the defensive line -- and more specifically at defensive tackle. Michigan is losing Bryan Mone and Aubrey Solomon on the interior but is bringing in ESPN 300 defensive tackle Mazi Smith, who is already on campus and could see early playing time. ESPN 300 defensive tackle Christopher Hinton should also have an opportunity to play early.
Outside of those positions, Michigan isn't losing much where there isn't significant depth behind them. Hill might have an opportunity to play early given his talent level as the No. 13 ranked prospect overall, and there might be opportunity for ESPN 300 running back Zach Charbonnet, but Michigan will have enough on the roster that the coaches don't need most of the prospects to play right away.

Over the past few years I have written so on many different health and fitness subjects it really becomes challenging to find points of interest for such a wide audience. I am a big fan of yoga and the fact that I lack flexibility and still manage to get my morning dose of Ashtanga yoga in is no small thing. My morning ritual is a great way to stretch, strengthen and find balance before I start my day.
Recently I have become interested in Tai Chi, yet another way to jump start my day other than yoga.
Like Yoga, Tai Chi can build flexibility, strengthen your body and help you practice mindfulness. Tai Chi is an amazing activity that brings both health, fitness and mindfulness to your body with simple flowing movements. These movements have been used as an ancient wellness practice for more than 600 years. Tai Chi incorporates physical exercise to align and support your bodies natural energy. Most people think of Tai Chi only in terms of martial arts training for fighting or defense. In fact the contemplative practice of Tai Chi is practiced more as a part of traditional Chinese health and medicine than a method of hand-to-hand combat. The slow rhythmic movements of Tai Chi stimulates and aligns the body's natural energy. These structured movements form a supportive flow around posture, balance and strengthens mobility. The other positive aspect of Tai Chi is its ability to stretch muscles and create flexibility for your joints, spine and connective tissue.
Tai Chi is also an effective way to alleviate stress and anxiety. There are a number of styles or schools of Tai Chi and it is considered "meditation in motion" which is calming and promotes a strong feeling of inner peace.
There are many styles or schools of Tai Chi each having their own separate methods and practices behind them. With names like tang-style or sun-style these practices are considered to be safe for people of all ages since the movements do not put undue stress on your muscles and joints. The movements are also slow and measured so it does not stress the cardiovascular system. The other very nice thing about Tai Chi is like yoga it simply takes a little space and does not require sports gear or specialized machines to be able to workout.
In many cities around the country and even here locally it is not uncommon to see one or more people in a quiet area of a park practicing those slow well designed movements. It can be done in groups or by yourself and best of all it does not take a great deal of time to practice.
An older form of Tai Chi is a discipline that is not as well-known in the west, called Qigong. Qigong is a somewhat less structured method of "moving meditation" that uses the same type of rhythmic movements to focus posture, breathing and center your mind. There have been many studies done regarding the overall health benefits associated with Tai Chi and Qigong. In particular the movement exercises improve balance, joint function and overall stability in older adults which can help with mobility and prevent falls.
Many health and fitness professionals have incorporated Tai Chi and Qigong into their sport medicine, physical therapy and mainstream medical treatment practices. The New England Journal of Medicine for example did a study that showed patients with Parkinson's disease that practiced Tai Chi showed improvement with their mobility.
Learning and practicing either Tai Chi or Qigong is pretty straight forward. There are a number of martial arts schools that offer face-to-face instruction, or you can self teach by watching YouTube videos or following book instructions. The simplicity of Tai Chi or Qigong makes them fairly easy to grasp and start practicing. The main thing here is our bodies are made to move and doing any form of exercise is key to better health and your fitness.

How Do License Points Work in Texas?
Driver license point, demerit point, DMV point - whatever you call them, points aren’t a good thing for drivers. Most states, including Texas, use point systems to denote when a driver is convicted of a traffic violation.
These points are connected to your driver license record. They’ll remain on your record for three years from the date of the conviction. If you get another traffic violation conviction in that timeframe the points will accumulate. No one wants to be familiar with the point system personally, but every Texas driver should understand how it works. Here’s what you need to know.
Which driving offenses will cost you the most points in Texas? Any violation that involves “motor vehicle control” are subject to penalty points. And it doesn’t matter where the traffic violation occurs. You can get points on your driving record for in-state and out-of-state violations.
If you got a parking ticket you don’t have to sweat it. Points aren’t given for non-moving violations.
Sometimes accumulating points is a good thing. This is not one of those times.
The goal of the point system is to promote public safety by giving drivers another reason to drive safe. Points are tracked and if you hit a certain number within a specified period of time there will be fines to pay and possibly other repercussions.
The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) manages the Driver Responsibility Program (DRP). As a part of the program, the point system is used to determine if a surcharge should be added to a person’s driving record. A conviction can also lead to a DRP surcharge. The surcharges are in addition to other fees and assessments for things like a license suspension. If you hit 6 points on your driving record you’ll have to pay a $100 DRP surcharge. There will be an additional $25 fine for every point over six. The fine will be administered annually until you drop below 6 points. You’ll be happy to know that a surcharge won’t come out of the blue. The Texas DPS will send you an “advisory” notice when you hit 4 or 5 points. It’s essentially a warning that if you get convicted of another traffic violation the next notice will include a surcharge.
Drivers that accumulate a lot of points in a short period could have their license suspended. If you’re convicted of 7 or more moving violations within 24 months a suspension is likely.
Points will also drain your wallet when you pay your monthly auto insurance premium. Insurers check the points on a person’s driving record before they set rates. The cleaner your record is the less you’ll have to fork over for auto insurance.
If you’re a commercial driver there’s more to worry about than surcharges. A CDL carries with it a lot of responsibility. Employers are very hesitant to hire commercial drivers that have points on their record. Points could also affect your ability to apply for a commercial driver license. Worried about points on your driver record? Completing the Aceable Texas defensive driving course will keep points off your license. Since everything’s online you don’t have to drive anywhere to participate in traffic school. Check it out!

Dalmatians have long since been the dog of the firehouse and these days are the leading mascot in a firehouse. In times when horses did the work to take the firemen to the fires, the Dalmatians were the main dogs that paved the way to help them reach the fire. These dogs and horses got along very well, so the dogs were trained to be the ones in the front, letting people know to get out of the way. He was a guide to the horses and the ones who worked the fires making these dogs earn a honorary position inside firehouses.
Dalmatians have a history of the ones who are often used for work of a serious nature. During wars, they have been the ones who alerted when things were not right. They were the ones who worked as draft dogs, hound dogs, shepherds, hunters, retrievers, and so much more. They are very smart and can remember more than any other dog. The speed that Dalmatians have is phenomenal and has a remarkable endurance level. They have no fear of big animals, like horses, which makes them the best breed for this kind of job.
They are known as coach dogs and were used mainly before the twentieth century, in other countries, such as Scotland, England, and Wales. It was the wealthy who took the most interest in them. They gave the wealthy the added touch to give them the feeling of feeling superior. They were an important part of any place that they were at and seemed to keep the peace if they were kept in a stable with horses. They were the best breed to keep company with the horse and often would be seen running along them for long periods. They were often also used to guard against theft of any kind.
At a time when some of the fire companies were volunteer or operated privately, these dogs were the ones that were picked first. These dogs were an excellent choice to be had, since they did practically everything asked of them, from protection to whatever else was needed of them. Dalmatians were a source of pride at the firehouses that they were at and the firefighters were able to show them off. These dogs worked with the firefighters until cars and fire engines were invented. This is when they become the mascot of the fire companies and also companions to those who did a service for their country. Dalmatians, these spotted black and white dogs, are one of the most well known dogs in history and they served their country well as a dog who served the firehouses.

Mycobacterium marinum is an environmental, nontuberculous mycobacteria found in fresh and salt water, causing disease in humans through traumatized skin. We describe a young, healthy South Pacific Islander with chronic, progressive large verrucous plaques on the left lower extremity, with cultures positive for M. marinum. This morphology, distribution, and disease course is likely representative of an atypical presentation of M. marinum infection in South Pacific Islanders.

Meteorologist Kirstie Zontini shows you how to find the three planets using the moon.
— Get outside this week before sunrise, and do some stargazing.
Between March 26 and 29 you have the chance to see Jupiter and Saturn. On March 26, the moon will be in the southern sky around 7 a.m., very close to a bright looking star. That "star" is actually Jupiter.
On March 27 the moon will still be close by. On March 28 and March 29 around 7 a.m. the moon will shift closer to the planet Saturn.
Look to the southeast sky to find this pairing. A bonus planet you can find each morning this month before sunrise will be in the east/southeastern sky and it is Venus.
If you find any of these planets, snap a photo and use the hashtag #Skywitness7.

While everything may not be going your way right now, there is one aspect of your financial life that is in great shape. That’s the equity you have in your home. No matter what else is happening, you’ve manage to make your mortgage payments on time and built a reasonable amount of equity. Now you are wondering if taking out a second mortgage would better your situation in some way. Here are a few of the reasons why people apply for second mortgages when they have a real need.
You are carrying a fair amount of unsecured debt and it’s getting harder to manage. With some new medical bills on the horizon, it would be nice to reorganize your debt so you can remain current on everything. Now is the right time to consider taking out a second mortgage and paying off all of those other debts.
This approach allows you to use the equity in your home to restructure your existing debt. It’s not unusual for homeowners to find out the interest rate on their second mortgages is much less than they are paying on credit card and other forms of debt. The amount of the mortgage payment is often less than the cumulative total of all those individual debts.
Thanks to these factors, you accomplish more than simply restructuring your debt. It’s now possible to set aside a little each month and make an extra payment now and then. Assuming you don’t run those credit card balances up again, the second mortgage will allow you to be free of that debt sooner rather than later.
A growing family means you need more space. Even after you finish the basement or attic and convert it into living space, you need more. That’s when a second mortgage in Barrie will come in handy.
The second mortgage allows you to add another room or two while still keeping the payments manageable. Once the work is done, those additional rooms will also add to the market value of the home. While that may not seem like an important factor right now, it will become a major plus when you decide to sell the property after reaching retirement age.
Perhaps you have plenty of square footage, but there are some updates that would make the home more comfortable. It may be time to install a new heating and cooling system. Maybe it would be great to get rid of the old windows and install new ones that are more energy efficient. The only problem is that your current credit score could make it difficult to receive a line of credit or some type of home improvement loan.
A second mortgage is your answer. Assuming you have enough equity in the home, there are lenders who are willing to extend a mortgage even if your credit rating is not the best. You can use the funds to make all the home improvements you want. By making timely mortgage payments, you also receive more positive comments on your credit reports. Over time, those comments will help raise your scores.
You have a great idea for starting your own business. Unfortunately, not everyone shares your vision. Part of the problem is that while your work experience does include managerial work, many lenders question your ability to run a business. Couple that with a credit score that lenders consider marginal and it may be hard to find investors or even a bank that will provide the money needed to launch your enterprise.
The solution is a poor credit mortgage in Barrie. It is somewhat risky to pledge your own assets to launch the business, but it may be the fastest way to get things up and running. Make sure you can manage the payments on the second mortgage while your company is reaching for profitability. In the best-case scenario, the net income from your effort will be covering that payment by the end of the first year.
Your kids have scholarships and other financial aid that covers most of the cost of attending a university. There are still a few expenses that need to be covered. You could secure a second mortgage and deposit the funds in an interest bearing account. When and as college expenses need attention, withdraw enough to meet them. In the interim, allow the balance to earn at least a modest amount of interest. With proper management, the money will last long enough for your child to finish with college and start his or her career.
While poor credit mortgages are usually not the first option for buying a new vehicle, this is a solution that may be the best option. Your credit rating does not allow you to receive a car loan with the most competitive interest rate. When you talk with a lender about a second mortgage, you find that the interest rate is lower. Even better, the equity in your home is sufficient to lower the risk the lender will take on by doing business with you.
Once you are approved and you have that new vehicle that will get you to and from work, make those payments on time. Doing so will help your score improve as the months pass. By the time you pay off the second mortgage, your score should be significantly higher.
A second mortgage is not the answer to every financial situation. Before you choose this solution, compare it with other strategies. If you are convinced that this type of financial resource is the most practical, contact a lender who works with people who have less than perfect credit. You could be approved faster and easier than you expected.

The Nigerian native Jollof Rice is also known as Iwuk Edesi or Palm oil Rice is a soul food at it’s finest – It’s hearty, incredibly satisfying and deeply comforting. It is quite different from the popular Nigerian Jollof Rice because this recipe uses Palm Oil and other indigenous Nigerian spices.
With the perfect balance of indigenous Nigerian spices together with Dry Fish or smoked Fish, you can create this easy yet delicious palm oil Rice.
Just like any other Nigerian Rice recipes, the native Jollof Rice can also be made in different ways depending on where you come from and even individual preferences.
The Nigerian Native Jollof Rice is an easy dish to assemble and worth making any time of the year. I will be happy to know how it goes when you give it a try.
The Nigerian native Jollof Rice also known as Iwuk Edesi or Palm oil Rice is a soul food at it’s finest – It’s hearty, incredibly satisfying and deeply comforting. It is quite different from the popular nigerian Jollof Rice because this recipe uses Palm Oil and other indegenous Nigerian spices.
Add the blended peppers and fry until it’s reduced, stirring at intervals so as not to burn the sauce.
Stir in the ugwu/Kale and palm oil (optional) simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes on a low heat.
Keep in mind that you can make this Iwuk edesi with different varieties of dry Fish or smoked Fish. I usually use the Cat Fish but feel free to play around with the variety of dry Fish that suits your taste.
Don’t be afraid to load your sauce with all these ingredients because the Rice will absorb all the flavors from the sauce to create a tasty Palm Oil.
For me, the rice cooked in 30 minutes, covered, over low heat. Of course other brands of rice will cook differently and everyone’s stove is different too. You can always check on the rice as it cooks and adjust the heat according to how your rice and stove cook.

2014 is off to an amazing start! The STMA Conference in San Antonio was one of the most exhilarating events I have ever had the privilege to attend. New ideas are everywhere. People are excited about new possibilities.
The Grass Field Revolution is Alive!
With the Revolution growing, I am making a professional change to dedicate more to the possibilities of natural grass fields. Starting March 10, I am moving into the role of President at Growing Innovations full-time. Growing Innovations (www.GrowingInnovations.Net) is an education and support firm founded for one mission: Establishing that Grass Fields CAN Take More!
Additionally, I am heading the Grass Stain Preservation Initiative to soon be introduced. This initiative is designed to educate about the possibilities of grass fields at the grass-roots level: coaches, players, parents, and administrators. This blog, Growing Green Grass, will also be expanding to provoke more thought. Growing Green Grass will provide additional free information about the possibilities of natural grass fields to those in need, in particular at the grass-roots level.
Leading the Grounds Management team at Maryland SoccerPlex has been an amazing experience. Over and over again, our SoccerPlex team has achieved the “impossible”. I am proud of how the SoccerPlex organization has been able to re-defined what is possible for high traffic natural grass fields. There is no doubt the team and the facility will continue to improve and grow, and I am excited to be able to continue working with them in an agronomic support capacity.
Next week I am off to Japan to collect and share ideas, followed with a trip to Germany and France the following week as well. Stay tuned for updates sharing the successes with high traffic fields in those countries and join the discussion on creating new possibilities for natural grass fields.

We’re still getting praise in for the last production, Thanks to everyone who has been in contact to say that they enjoyed it. I’ll try to collect some of the best bits and post them later.
It is always a shame when a production comes to a finish, however, we at DD are never at a loss for something to fill the time and we’re already looking forward to the next production for next year.
‘The Caucasian Chalk Circle’ is is a play by the German playwright Bertolt Brecht. An example of Brecht’s epic theatre, the play is a parable about a peasant girl who rescues a baby and becomes a better mother than its wealthy natural parents.
This play has lots of characters and there will be a chance to players to take on multiple roles, so whether you do or don’t want a big part, there will be a part for you.
On Monday 4th December there will be a workshop to introduce the play at Acland Court 7:30pm.
Casting will be held at Sunninghill Community hall on Wednesdays 6th & and 13th, 7:30pm.
If you want to come along and find out a little more, feel free to drop in and say Hello and contact us even if you cannot make either of the castings.
We’re into the final week of rehearsals and now we’ve all had a chance to see the power that this play has as it’s coming together in form.
If you don’t know anything about the story, you can see articles in the Dorchester Life magazine as well as the Dorset Evening Echo. The story is as relevant today as it was back when it was written, guaranteed to provoke thought.
Tickets are available from Trinity stores, the box office line or online via the link here or at the top of the page.
Last month nerves setting in. We’re now rehearsing with books down from now on. This is when you start seeing the play shine as characters start coming to life.
Also we’re really pleased to announce that you can now book e-tickets online by clicking the button at the top of the DD webpage and from our Facebook page.
Wednesday 23rd August at 7.30p.m.
Sunninghill Community Hall, Culliford Road, Dorchester.
To open with business and conclude with pleasure.
We’d love you to share your favourite piece with us – recite a poem, tell a joke, or perform a skit.
If you want to come and meet us, this is an ideal opportunity.
Because of availability of venues, this production will have two performances, both on the 15th July 2017.
The Matinee performance will be at 2:30pm with an evening one at 7:30pm.
There is talk of cake and tea for the afternoon one, and a bar for the evening, but this is still in the planning stages.
This is the first time we’ve actually, single handedly directed a play, and it’s surprising how soon the performance seems. At least I’ve got no lines to learn for this one, though there’s still lots to plan, staging, lighting etc.
Each new production we do attracts new members and we pleased to welcome them into the folds, even if there is no opportunity to perform this time round, it’s brilliant that they all want to help out behind the scenes as well.
Here’s hoping all had a merry Christmas and wishing everyone a happy new year.
The Director has made the decision to not do ‘Godot’, but to do an NF Simpson play. Not ‘The Cresta Run’ as first proposed, but another one, ‘Was he Anyone?’.
It is very much in the same zany, Pythonesque style as Cresta Run and it was preferred by those who attended the read-through.
It has the advantage that there are so many parts that everyone who wants a part can have at least one. We think a revival of this, once very popular and now almost forgotten, playwright in a production that that can involve as many of the group as want to be involved is the best way forward.
Rehearsals are starting next week for the cast (listed below), but if you are interested in helping out with any other task, stage management, front of house, costume props etc. please let us know.
Performance dates are: Dorchester Town Hall, Friday 14th and Saturday 15th April, and Martinstown Village Hall, Saturday 6thMay.
Tickets will be available from the usual places.
The following parts will be shared between the younger actors as soon as we are clear who wishes to take part.
Barbara Hughes, Junior Civil servant, Reporter, Receptionist, Miss Stewart, Miss Havergal, Miss Lindthropp, Trainee.
No rest for the Wicked (Counts or Devils).
DD has their AGM this coming Wednesday, 3rd Aug. 7:30pm at the Colliton Club. It wont be all about business though (this bit might be quite boring and will be over quick) and there will be a chance for some nibbles and a chat about the future events.
Which leads nicely into the news of the next production in November in our normal slot at the Corn Exchange.
22nd August at the Victoria Hotel, Dorchester.
These will all be at 7:30pm as well.
Please feel free to come along and say hello. Don’t feel that you need to be prepared to act, we’re still more than happy to have people help with costume, props, lighting, sound, etc.
And we’re In. Possibly the hardest get in ever. Lift was broken meaning that we had to carry the kit and staging up the stairs.
Below are a few pics from the rehearsal. Check out the gallery for the whole collection Break a leg this evening.
7:30pm 28th & 29th July. Dorchester Town Hall (Corn Exchange). Tickets will be available on the door.

What, you'd not noticed I'd gone? Eh, well.
I got quite a bit done. My goal was to finish up revising and submit the story I was working on for the Stella Kupferberg Memorial Short Story Prize, which I did. On the first day, even, so then I was flailing around at a bit of a loss. I kept up my 750 words even though I arranged for time off due to internet spottiness. I listened to great advice in the organized talks and in the general interactions, and made some new friends.
I managed to stay sober! Thanks to Ted for moral support and to the general retreat membership in forgiving my non-presence at night. I got a good deal of use out of the cabin's jetted tub and bath products from LUSH, slept pretty well, and threw my lot in with the Early Birds. It's a different way of being for me, but I think it will prove ultimately better, or at least healthier. I know I missed some stuff I might have enjoyed, but people have been generous in sharing references on Twitter and by email.
So I'm glad I ignored my cold-feet and went.
