We’ve heard rumours of delays to the HTC One being delivered, but more concrete information from HTC itself suggests that these delays aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. In fact, we should be seeing availability of the HTC One as early as next week in the UK, Germany and Taiwan. Of course, local dates will vary depending on carriers (as per usual), but the wait is definitely not long.

As for the rest of us, it looks like countries across Europe, North America and Asia Pacific should be seeing the arrival of the HTC One by the end of April. Again, no specific dates have been offered by HTC, but we know that the HTC One is likely to be a popular choice amongst the carriers in Australia, and I’d imagine we’ll see it available on all major carriers roughly around the same time.

HTC’s statement:

HTC has seen unprecedented demand for and interest in the new HTC One, and the care taken to design and build it is evidenced in early reviews. The new HTC One will roll out in the UK, Germany and Taiwan next week and across Europe, North America and most of Asia-Pacific before the end of April. We appreciate our customers’ patience, and believe that once they have the phone in their hands they will agree that it has been worth the wait.

Meh. Any half decent photographer will tell you that mega pixels account for about 15% of a camera’s performance. If that. The rest is optics, ability to manipulate and capture light, processing etc. The HTC One has these in droves. Can’t wait.

Though I’m sure if it’s released within the same time frame with the galaxy S4, unless HTC gives some major initiatives to carriers to help sell their phones, sale figures will definitely be affected.

23 of April in Australia..

No One

Source please

Would love to know your source George — let us know and we’ll update the post 🙂

I’d like some source with that too please

No One

Well delay + wrong choice of camera really make me thinking of switch over to S4 even though I don’t like Samsung

Tour Itinerary: Taste of the Outback 3 days

B,L,D: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.

Day 1: Depart for Innamincka and Birdsville (L,D)

Your three-day outback air safari kicks off early, with a flight bound for the tiny outback town of Innamincka in South Australia’s remote north east. On the way in, your pilot will fly low over the Dig Tree, where the explorers Burke and Wills famously set up camp. On the ground, learn more about this pioneering pair and their ill-fated expedition. Enjoy a cruise on the Cooper Creek aboard the ‘Kingfisher’ before lunch at the Innamincka Hotel, a true outback pub.

Then, it’s on to Birdsville. On touchdown, embark on a stunning 4WD tour to Big Red, the 40 metre sand dune on the edge of the Simpson Desert. Drink in the views as the sun sets while enjoying refreshments. Return to Birdsville for a cleansing ale, dinner and chat with fellow travellers at the famous outback pub.

Overnight: Birdsville Hotel

Day 2: Birdsville to Arkaroola (B,L,D)

Take a low-level flight down the Diamantina River, Goyder Lagoon and the Warburton River, before flying over Lake Eyre North. Lake Eyre is an incredible destination, magnificent whether in its usual dry, flat, salt-plain state, or during those rare periods when rains in the gulf have filtered down to create an oasis in the desert. Fly low and slow over the lake for some amazing photos. Land near the lake for a refresh.

Then fly over the Flinders Ranges, where the late afternoon sun exposes the vibrant palette of colours on the mountains. A 30-minute drive brings you to Arkaroola Wilderness Resort. After dinner, enjoy awesome views of the stars and constellations in the clear night sky at the resort’s observatory.

Overnight: Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary, Mawson Room

Day 3: Arkaroola to home city (B,L)

Begin the last day with the famous Ridgetop Tour in an open-air 4WD vehicle to Sillers Lookout where you’ll experience the ruggedness and beauty of the Northern Flinders Ranges. The area is home to over 160 species of birds and the shy and endangered yellow-footed rock-wallaby, along with craggy mountains, towering granite peaks, magnificent gorges and mysterious waterholes.

In the afternoon it’s time to head home. Fly over Lake Frome en-route, arriving in the evening.

Augustus walks alone, his heart encased in an impenetrable despair, like most nights since his curse began, nearly three centuries ago. He trolls the stone walls of En Tutum, a luxurious rustic tourist attraction that doubles as his prison, a place he is forbidden to leave. Suddenly he hears a faint whisper, “Mother,” as a jeep pulls into the property, and something inside him changes. He senses a magical presence. Augustus dares to hope, this visitor may be the key to answering the prayers his soul has sought. Selina Kyle Horton, adopted daughter of Hollywood actors Kate and Brett Horton, had excitedly prepared for her first solo nature trip. Unbeknownst to her, Brett made some surprise upgrades to her excursion and she unexpectedly finds herself rerouted to En Tutum.Initially, she is impressed by the change in plans, happy even. Yet her first night there, she is haunted by mysterious dreams. The next evening, she meets Augustus. He claims to sense an ancient magic in her—a power—that, if detected by the property owners, will put her in grave danger. After eavesdropping on a private conversation, she starts to detect a threat against her. With no cellphone service to call her family, she decides to brave the forest alone until she reaches the next town.Can Selina successfully allude all that seeks to harm her? What are Augustus’s true intentions? And does she really possess the magical gifts he’s willing to risk his life for?

How Occupant Classification Systems Work

By: Patrick E. George

OCS Sensors

Dual stage airbags like these can deploy at different speeds, depending of the severity of the crash.
Dual stage airbags like these can deploy at different speeds, depending of the severity of the crash.

Imagine this scenario: you and your family are moving into a new house. The trunk and back seat of your car are stuffed with your belongings, but you have to take your seven-year-old daughter along for the ride. You have no choice but to put her in the front passenger seat. But will she be safe up there? What happens if there's a wreck? What will the airbags do to her?

It's never a good idea to put your kids in the front seat, but sometimes reality forces drivers to do otherwise. If you're driving an American car or truck made after 2006, you're probably okay, since they all contain some method of airbag suppression -- most likely, an OCS.

Let's take a look at one popular OCS made by Delphi. Inside the seat, you will find a pressure sensor, a silicone-filled "bladder", and an electronic control unit (ECU). When someone sits on the seat, the pressure sensor signals the occupant's weight to the ECU. The ECU then sends that data to the airbag, which has its own control unit. Based on that information, the vehicle's computer turns the passenger airbag on or off.

The OCS doesn't just detect weight. It reads the passenger's seating position and determines if they're wearing a seat belt. It also has a seat belt tension sensor that allows the OCS to interpret the pressure created when a child seat is fitted. In other words, the system is designed to tell whether a child safety seat is occupying that seat or whether you're just carrying some heavy object there. A light or sign on the instrument panel tells the driver whether the passenger airbag is on or off.

Once the onboard computer knows the passenger's size and weight, the car's dual stage airbags come into play. Based on the occupants' size, these types of airbags can deploy at full speed, partial speed, or not at all. An airbag deploying at full speed can badly injure or even kill a child or small adult. In addition, dual stage airbags also can deploy at lesser speeds when the car is involved in a minor collision.

Weight sensors have become the most common way of detecting an occupant; however, carmakers are experimenting with new and possibly more effective ways of sensing who or what is riding shotgun. Some experimental systems take optical images of passengers to determine whether a child or adult is sitting in the seat and use that information to turn the airbags on or off accordingly. Others go so far as to detect physiological factors like respiration and heartbeats in sitting passengers to tell the airbags what to do [source: Delphi]. Remember -- even on cars equipped with an OCS, it's always safest to keep small children in the back seat.

In the next section, we'll take a look at the history of airbag sensor systems, and why they're necessary in the first place.

Autopsy Of Adelaide – Media and coming exhibition

I am extremely grateful to the various media outlets who have recently shown an interest in my work and shared it to a wider audience.  Particularly John Dexter from The Adelaide Review (who published the first article in March which subsequently featured my work on the April cover of The Adelaide Review) and Ron Kandelaars from Channel Seven who filmed a great segment showcasing my work which featured on Seven News Adelaide.

Whilst I am humbled that my work is received so well and obviously touches people in some way I am somewhat uncomfortable with the attention.  Too much self doubt and  worrying about what some in the community may think.  I am trying to overcome this but I am far more comfortable behind the camera than in front of it.

I’ve linked to the recent media below.

For those of you following my work, you may be interested in my first ever exhibition coming up for the SALA Festival in August.  Most exciting is that I’ve secured a fabulous venue in Darling Building!

Darling Building was until recently abandoned for 20 years and was the subject of several of my explores and countless images. Lovingly and painstakingly restored by current owners Williams Burton Leopardi architects, the building provides the ideal location to showcase my work on abandoned Adelaide as well as showcase this fabulous building.

I’ll be exhibiting with two great friends and fellow explorers – Adeltritus and Somewhat Damaged Photography. Please take a look at their fabulous work!

I’ll be showcasing 24 works, including several previously unpublished pieces, and all work will be for sale for those interested in purchasing a print.  More details to be released soon regarding the month long SALA event. Hope to see you all there!

Ok. Let's get back on track !

Hi all,

Today we allocate time to reflect on our lives. I know it's been some time since I posted. There has just been a lot going on. Maybe the same has happened to you. So let's take time for a moment of thanks. Be thankful and grateful for all that you have no matter how great or how small. Every moment in life is precious. You know the saying, don't put off til tomorrow what you can do today.... or so it goes !!! Grasp your life. Steer it as best you can, and be thankful!
So take a moment. What are you thankful for today? Maybe it's just waking up !!!!!

As we head to the close of a stressful economic year, let's look forward to making the future better for ourselves and for others. If nothing else, go out and perform a random act of kindness today. Buy someone a cup of coffee or pay for their toll on the road....anything..... you will feel so good and put a positive spin on whatever is going on in your life.....

Be safe, be well and we will chat next week.

Monday, September 14, 2009

So let's get started already !!!

Boy, it's been quite the year. Again, I have to apologize....since losing my Mom in mid-Feb, and going back and forth to Florida to deal with my Dad, a lot has happened. Lost my Dad in early August along with 3 family friends and recently lost another family member dear to my heart. It's been really tough to get in here and share positive thoughts. So let's get started already !!! Today we allocate time to sum it up and get it started for the Fall.....

Hope Summer has been good to you and you are embracing Fall with a great outlook for your business and for your life.

Are you setting goals? Are you working with your budget? Are you thinking outside the box to maximize everything you can given today's economy?

You have to set goals for yourself whether they are long or short term goals you have to have them "somewhere". A wise person once told me that it's much more difficult to hit a target that you can't see !!! Set goals and set them often. Keep them visible or in your thoughts on a daily basis.

Work within a budget, no matter what that may be. THAT will also change as time moves on and you chip away at your goals.

Think outside the box !!! Very important. What can you do to make it different !!! You may want to blend in, and sometimes you have to, but you have to stick out to be noticed !

Make sure you network! Anywhere and everywhere !!!!

So let's get started !!! Stay tuned for tips and ideas on how to make yourself and your business stand out and get noticed.

How to use your advertising dollars wisely...

Hi all,
Today we allocate time to discuss advertising dollars ! first of all, I have to apologize for not posting in a few weeks. Between the death of my MOM and moving, it's been quite crazy.

So.... first of all, you need to work within your own budget for advertising but you also need to know that you will have to invest SOME money to help spread the word of your business. With my new company , you can utilize your ad dollars by hiring me to work directly for you. A little different than just going places and meeting people. My consultations are free so contact me for info on that at .

Also, check out the great new publication: FREE STUFF !!! You can get a free copy in many locations but you can also contact me at the web address above for your free copy. It's a great place to advertise. I can have someone from "free stuff" contact you to find out your business needs.

Summer is upon us so let's make the best with any ad dollars you can. Many companies today are willing to work out a payment to get your business. It's all about thinking outside the box.
Looking forward to hearing from you and you have a great week.

How to step up your game.

Hi all. Today we allocate time to learn how to step up our game.
First of all, you can't get anywhere if you don't get involved. You have to put yourself out there in as many places and see as many faces as you can. I think this is important no matter what kind of business you have, what type of people you want to meet or what career goals you have set for yourself. People need to know WHO YOU ARE .

I am running a small event at T-Byrd computers/ Tri-County Score on April 30th ( Thursday). Location is in Pleasantville, N.J. Rt. 9 across from This and That uniforms. (It will start promptly at 10AM and run til about 11:30. ) There will be several local companies featured there but you can come and learn and share and let us know who you are.

Next. Read motivational books. There is always something to gain out of books that help us help ourselves. A good read is "The power of Nice" follow that up with the brand new "The Power of Small" We will be discussing some topics from these books on Thursday. Please join us.

Thanks for being patient on an update here. I just moved so it's taken some time to get it back together. Take care....and keep stepping up your game.

Monday, March 16, 2009

Good Afternoon all,

It's Monday and today we allocate time to discuss your health !!! The "green" craze is sweeping the country and people today are being more health concious than ever. I'd like for you to check out some great people and companies for your "green" fix !!! :)

First of all, seek Chiropractic care if you don't already. You have to understand chiropractic and the people I am recommending will explain--and answer any questions you may have. This is a process folks ! Chiropractic is preventative care....not just something you seek when you are in pain. Most of your professional athletes are under chiropractic care to keep their bodies safe. You should do the same. The people I recommend to speak with are: Dr. David Sarnoff , "Your Chiropractior" You can reach his office at 609-677-8878 or fax him at 609-677-8832. ...And Dr. Martin Brown of "Brown Chiropractic". 609-641-6880 .

Also, don't be shy about checking labels on the things you put into your body. Today, more than ever, we need to be so careful. Steer away from drugs that force you take a drug for this ailment, and then another drug to counteract the effects of the first drug ! I think that has gotten way out of hand and people are just popping pills for every little thing that seems wrong. Your body has a natural healing process and we need to let that happen. I do, however, believe in supplements but you still have to be aware. Most of your over-the-counter supplements have a high metal content and that, over time, is not good. Look to natural support of your body. Look to companies that deal strictly in wellness and green products. The best ones I know are "Original Limu" and "Melaleuca". These companies have proven scientific findings. Check them out ! You can visit original limu at You can also e-mail Art Korth and talk directly about Melaleuca and the powerful oil in their green products. Talk to Art on line at He will gladly take you through the tour either on line or in person.

Now is the time to think "green" and think of your health. I just lost my MOM a few weeks ago. Very unexpectedly. Don't wait til it's too late. Arm yourself with good information now and let's all make a difference. Our food supply and our soil here in the U.S. is not what it used to be. It's damaged and polluted. We need to think about that on a daily basis and do the best we can to get the best we can ! Think about the benefits of an apple. You would have to eat over 5 apples today to get the benefits of the ONE apple you ate 10 years ago ! Imagine that. Be aware, be smart, and be healthy !

To your health !!!!

Hi this is Ava and today we allocate time for a bright and talented youth. I know, I know, it's not MONDAY.....I have to apologize for the length of time since the last blog. I recently lost my MOM---my best friend! It has de-railed me some but I'm slowly getting back to getting things done in my business world so to say...
So today, we look at a young , beautiful, talented, Temple graduate. (Summa Cum Laude as a matter of fact) I am talking about Sage Lauren Sinopoli ! Sage is quite multi-talented and has her degree in broadcast journalism. She currently does promotional work for Radio Disney but is actively seeking a position in T.V. as a news reporter. You can check out some of her work on You Tube. I am proud to know Sage for some time and prouder yet of her accomplishments. Keep your eye out for this bright and shining star !

Day 296, & 297, Conference is done now. Very difficult to get in the business center and post here. Still have to clean up a couple of posts as it doesn't take the pics. from here too well. Anyway, spent these days doing great things that I don't do that often. I actually spent some time in the pool here.... Last evening, I spent over an hour just sitting out on the veranda near the pool..... left there about midnight or even a little later. I also spent 10 min. lying on my bed doing absolutely nothing.... ( something I'm going to do very soon in Virgina!) Spent 30 min. in a wisdomm circle. WEll, that alone is not something that fall into the criteria for this blog, however...... this particular wisdon circle had women in it from various parts of the Country.... THAT was WAAAAAAY cool. I also got to meet and chat with the beautiful Forbes Riley of infomercial fame...... Not sure when I will be able to post again..........hang in there with the challenge as we approach day 300..... lots of things in store for our next blog challenge......... Enjoy !

Rains and other tidbits

20 Aug 2017 Uncategorized

Dear friends,

Unfortunately the recent hope-giving flare-up on this forum died down again, and so I’ll just continue keeping the thread while always hoping that others come forward and blow some further life into it.

First some good news: we have had abundant rains these last weeks, finally catching up after this long long summer drought. Charlie, who keeps track of them from Aurogreen, writes today: So far this month we have had 183.6 mm rain which is 142.1% above the August average for these 40 years of records. In 1996 we had 236 mm and it looks like we may easily break that record this year. The lowest August rain I recorded was 15 mm in 2006. The average rainfall over 40 years, from Jan 1 till end of August 31, we have already exceeded by 20.45% today, on August 13.

And here are some other tidbits some of which some of you may like to peruse.

The latest interview in Fred Cebron’s ‘Meeting the Mother’ series is with Peter Anderschitz, one of Auroville’s architects known by many of you. You find it here.

Suryamayi is an Auroville born and raised young woman (and daughter of long term Aurovilians Peter and Nicole Clarence-Smith) who, during her higher studies abroad felt to do a social science PhD on Auroville and hence observes our experiment with a remarkable sharp and analytical eye. She audaciously started a practicallyutopian.blog  via which she hopes to give insight in the faring of the community through a systematic field research ,  consisting of interviews and group discussions, attending meetings of Auroville’s working groups, and daily life observations and insights from living, working, and relating in Auroville.

On International Yoga day in June, the City of Dawn didn’t stay behind and hatha yoga performances took place at the Amphitheatre and other places. True to Auroville’s call, in Savitri Bhavan an informal sharing on our Integral Yoga took place, where some of our home grown pundits such as Shraddhavan, JeanYves and Deepti and others endeavoured to answer questions from the audience, under which an eager Mr Chunkath, the current Secretary of the Auroville Foundation. A 30-minute edited version of the afternoon is out and can be perused here.

As was already announced in Auroville Today, a new book  ‘Sri Aurobindo & the Revolution of India’  by Luc Venet is out and available via Amazon. It starts with the moment that Sri Aurobindo sets foot in India and ends with him arriving in Pondicherry. Written in a very direct, light and engaging style, with some grainy pictures scattered throughout, it carries the reader along, all the time supplying us with contextual info and cultural, political colouring of that particular historical period while giving deep insights in Sri A’s personal life and development, and maturing spiritual insights. The fairly small, 321 page book is available on Amazon for 15 Euros in French and well as in English.

The earlier mentioned plans of a live reading through internet of ‘Savitri around the World’ has sobered up a bit, and the new idea is to go live on YouTube with a film made up of recordings prepared in advance and supplied  by the participants (see the list of thus far participating countries below). From the various individual recordings a film of about 48 hours duration will be made to be broadcast on February 25-26, 2018 for viewing worldwide. The full text of Savitri has been divided up into 325 passages of more or less 2 pages (about 70 lines per reader). So, ideally 325 readers are needed. If you want to participate, write to [email protected]

Participating countries till date:
Puducherry, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Orissa, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Haryana, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Assam, Rajasthan
Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, China, Afghanistan, South Korea

Saatva Mattress Who Played Goldilocks – All you need to know for 2021

Looking for Saatva Mattress Who Played Goldilocks?

When one wants to have the best mattress, there are many options available in the market today. In order to choose the best one, it is necessary to understand the advantages of the various mattress types and their specific uses. Choosing the right type of mattress is important for the comfort and health of the consumer. As a result, there are three main types of mattresses that are discussed in this article:

The Saatva mattresses are manufactured by the Saatva organization, manufacturer of these mattresses including the Loom, Leaf and Zenhaven. The Saatva mattress is basically an innerspring bed which comes with three firmness (plush, luxury and firm). This mattress is highly recommended by most doctors, as it offers good support to the body while sleeping. The other advantages of choosing the Saatva innerspring mattresses include:

o A quality mattress of the Saatva firmness is much more expensive than the other two types of mattresses. However, it offers a good deal of comfort and support to the consumers. Because of its higher firmness level, the Hybrid innerspring mattresses of the Saatva are recommended by doctors.

o If you want a very comfortable sleeping position, there is no better choice than the Sauna mattress. This is produced by the Memory Foam Company, a major player in the production of lumbar bed mattresses. The Sauna mattress is especially designed for supporting the lower back portion of the body and relieving lower back pain and stiff limbs. Because of the advanced technology, the company produces the Sauna innerspring bed in a longer lasting and softer material. Online mattresses from this company are available at affordable prices, making them a good choice for your home.

  • o Saturation or heat setting is another important factor when looking for a good sleeping arrangement. When you lie on the topmost layer of Sauna, you will experience a higher level of comfort due to its unique shape and design. Moreover, it offers high levels of support as well as pressure relief. The topmost layer of the mattress contains memory foam. Therefore, if you want a mattress that offers a good amount of support as well as pressure relief, then the Memory Foam Mattress from Sauna may be a good choice for you.

    o Firmness and support coils are also factors to consider when buying a mattress. The maximum thickness of the mattress coils is six inches. Moreover, there are also two versions of the product, which are built differently. The “U” model, which are built with two support coils underneath the box spring, and the “SB” model, which contain only one coil. The SB model is known to offer more support than the “U” model. Therefore, if you want to buy a mattress with more support, the Sauna mattress from Sauna might be a good option. Saatva Mattress Who Played Goldilocks

Awario vs Brand24: Detailed Comparison & Review

Let's take a look at Awario and Brand24 side by side. These apps are competing to be the most valuable software for its money. This comparison will help you decide on which one to settle. We'll go over the key features of both platforms and then find out which one solves users' tasks better. First, let's take a look at their dashboards:
The dashboards of both applications provide statistics on the number of mentions, sentiment analysis, and the most recent mentions. You can switch between sources and change the date ranges. Awario's Dashboard displays top influencers, while Brand24 has a special tab for that in the Analytics section.
Here's a comparison of the key features.
Free trial
Monitored platforms
In-app interactions
(likes, replies, shares, etc.)
Boolean search
Sentiment analysis
Historical data Unlimited for all plans Up to 12 months
Real-time mention search
Only for Max users
Sales prospecting
Users 3 for Pro, 10 for Enterprise Up to 99
Data export Starts with the Pro plan Starts with the Premium plan
White-labelling Only for Enterprise users
Language filter
Country filter
Mobile app
Email notifications
Account manager Only for Enterprise users Only for Max users
When choosing a social listening tool, it's important to search for the one that is easy to use, offers the functionality that caters to your business needs, and isn't overpriced. Here are the most common parameters users consider when picking a social media tool.
Brand24 has a mobile app and the ability to share account access between team members which isn't available in Awario. However, Awario enables you to engage with mentions right from the feed. You can reply, like, share them, etc. Awario offers unlimited historical data for web results, while Brand24's historical mentions date back to 12 months in the best-case scenario. Real-time mention search in Brand24 is available for Max plan users only, while in Awario it's a default option.
Value for money
Both apps offer 3 subscription plans. On average, you'll get 1 464 mentions for $1 with Awario, while Brand24 will give you 2 522 mentions for your buck. As you can see, with Brand24 you get more mentions for $1 in every plan. But the number of mentions is not all you get with Awario. Each plan includes real-time data search, a Boolean search mode, and unlimited historical data and keywords.
To measure the performance rates of both services, we've entered the same 3 keywords in each app: "Airbnb", "", and "TripAdvisor". At the very start Brand24 returned 62 810 mentions, while Awario showed only 1 705. After 1 day, Awario found 150 000 mentions (reached the mentions per alert limit, but was still getting new mentions and replacing the old ones), and Brand24 showed 69 001 mentions. Brand24 returns more results immediately, but Awario gives you way more mentions on the long run.
Online reputation management
Both Awario and Brand24 let you do the online reputation management through tracking negative mentions/reviews about your brand. But what makes Awario the winner here is that you can take care of these mentions right from the app. Awario's in-app interactions include replying, commenting, and sharing mentions. You can also like them or follow the author. Note that you can act on behalf of several accounts simultaneously if you connect to them in the project settings.
Competitive analysis
Awario and Brand24 both have good competitive analysis capabilities. If you want to track your competitors in Brand24, you can create a separate project for that. But note that the number of projects is limited to the keywords number. So if you are on a Plus plan and you have 6 competitors, you won't be able to track all the competitors as there are only 5 keywords available in the Plus plan. Awario is way more flexible in this case. First, you can create an alert for each competitor within one project, or you can create different projects for different purposes. If you don't have enough available alerts for all your competitors, there's still a workaround for that. You can create one alert and enter an unlimited amount of keywords. This way, all your competitors will be stored in one place.
Influencer marketing
You can check out the top influencers right in Awario's Dashboard. The list includes links to their profiles, so you can easily reach out to them. There are special Influencers reports which may be sorted by the source, the number of followers, mentions, or the reach number. Pro and Enterprise users can share these reports via a cloud service. Brand24 has an Analysis section in its side-panel. There you can check out the most popular mentions and the most popular authors. Along with the reach metric, Brand24 provides its own Influencer Score, which indicates how much authority an author has online. It's based on the number of followers they have in social media.
Social selling
Brand24 doesn't have any special sales prospecting features. Still, you can search for leads if you add "looking for" or similar phrases along with the keywords you want to track. At the same time, Awario has a dedicated module for finding hot leads. All you need to do is to fill in your brand name, the description of your product, and your competitors.
Ease of use
The process of creating a project is pretty straightforward for both apps. However, it takes a bit more time and effort to create one in Awario because you provide additional information like product description and competitors' names for creating a leads alert. UI of both Brand24 and Awario is clean and user-friendly, you can easily find everything you need and navigate to any part of the app with a couple of clicks.

It'd be a good idea to choose Awario in case you are about to engage with your leads and a precise personalized search is really important for you. Alternatively, Brand24 offers such perks as Slack integration and multiple users, which may be fundamental for some customers.

“Health Nut” Mix

health nut mix

Where to even begin with this!?!?!

Do you want to eat something delicious that is good for your muscles, hair, eyes, nails, skin, heart and brain???

Well here you go you “health nut”!

A special mix I made to say Merry Christmas and thank you to my training clients and people who take my classes at the gym!

Here is the run down:

2 cups raw plain almonds

1 c of each of the following:

unsalted peanuts

roasted sunflower seeds

roasted pepitas

dried cranberries or cherries

1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

1 tbsp. agave or honey (drizzle all over before mixing)

1 tbsp. cinnamon

Place in large bowl, mix gently with a spoon and scoop out 1/4 c servings into baggies or keep altogether and grab as needed.

Yields: 21   1/4 cup servings

Tips: I find that when I portion out ahead in 1/4 c baggies that really helps. As you may or may not know seeds and nuts are high in calories and fat (good fat) and should be consumed about once a day-a handful or so. I usually keep some sort of nut/seed mix in my bag as emergency food and it also makes for a great pre or after workout boost! Take it hiking, take it on road trips in the car or plane…just make it and take it!

All of these ingredients can be found at your local grocery store. (nothing too fancy!)

So friends….. enjoy, be inspired, take charge, have pride in your health, plan ahead, don’t get caught hungry and put something good in your body that will reflect well on the outside! In this case, be careful if eaten every day your hair may shine, your skin may glow, you may become extremely productive and even see more clearly!!

Budget Report

What is a Budget Report?

A budget report is an internal report used by management to compare the estimated, budgeted projections with the actual performance number achieved during a period. In other words, a budget report is designed to compare how close the budgeted performance was to the actual performance during an accounting period.

A budget report is a comparison of the actual results of a business to a pre-established budget. This report is issued to anyone responsible for a line item in the income statement, which usually means the department managers. The budget report is used to determine which expenditure levels are too high, so that actions can be taken to bring expenditure levels back down to the budgeted amount. This report is one of the most frequently-used tools for maintaining control over the financial results of a business.

A modified income statement can be used as a budget report. In this format, an extra column is included that states the budgeted amount for each line item, while a third column calculates the variance between actual and budgeted results.

What Does Budget Report Mean?

Since budgets are financial goals based on estimates and future projections, they are often inaccurate and can differ largely from the actual financial performance of a company. During an accounting period managers often compare the budgeted numbers that were prepared at the beginning of the period to the actual numbers they are incurring.

Business owners and employees often use the terms “financial report” and “budget report” interchangeably. Although both types of reports provide information about a company’s finances, the goals and contents of both reports are drastically different. Accountants and financial planners working in a company must know the difference, as these individuals are responsible for creating these reports for the proper readers.

Budget Report

Budget reports are documents that present a single company’s various budgets at any given time. Examples of budgets include operations, production, sales and marketing. The goal of a budget report is to determine how much each area is given in funds and how well the departments use their given funds to reach the goals of the business. A budget report only shows the company’s incoming and outgoing cash flow and expenses, so the report does not reveal how well the company is doing — only how it spends its available money.

Financial Report

A financial report is an in-depth report and analysis of how well a company is doing. This type of report includes all of the budgets listed in a budget report, but it also includes a breakdown of assets and liabilities to reveal the company’s net worth. This net figure is a representation of how much the business is worth, which is appealing to outside sources. In addition, this report includes an analysis of the figures and predictions of how the company will do in upcoming years based on internal financial planning.

Purposes and Uses

A budget report is written to show how a given business is managing its funding. It is prepared by accountants and reviewed by managers and executives responsible for operations and production. The purpose is to see how the company spends its available funds and how much is available for new products, for example. An annual financial report is written for investors and shareholders who are interested in getting updated information from the company. Some investors use the financial report as primary research for potential investments.

Financial Planning

Both a financial report and a budget report can be used internally to make a solid financial plan for the business in question. Financial planners can use the net worth to determine how the company should manage its assets and liabilities. In addition, the budget report will reveal where budget cuts can be made to either buy an asset or put funding aside to pay off liabilities, for example. The annual financial report and the budget report show accurate numbers of the company’s immediate financial situation and overall worth.

A Budget Report’s Content and Sections

A company’s budget report will have different sections depending on its financial needs and the data available for the business. Common sections include:

  • general income and sales information,
  • the fixed and flexible expenses that are necessary for the business to operate to full potential, and
  • the net worth of the entire company, including assets and liabilities.

More extensive budget reports might also include a letter from the company owner about any major financial changes in the company during the reporting period, and predictions for the future.

It’s important to recognize that there’s a difference between financial reporting and financial statements. A budget and similar financial reports are useful tools, but that’s all they are. Financial statements make more formal representations of a company’s value, and must meet specific legal and regulatory standards.

Types of Budget Reports

Budget reports or financial reports are written and created based on the needs of the business. A smaller business with a modest level of annual sales may only require a single financial year budget. However, a larger business with several hundred sales per day may need a budget report several times a year, also called quarterly reports. Keeping track of the finances and budgets makes it easier to compose the annual report for the business.

Blake Shelton and his longtime girlfriend, Gwen Stefani, are preparing for their wedding, and like a lot of us, the singer is carrying some extra weight after months in quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic. In a new interview, the "Minimum Wage" singer says he'd like to lose 20 pounds before he walks down the aisle.

The 44-year-old country superstar talked to his good friend Luke Bryan on Bryan's Apple Music Show, Party Barn Radio, on Thursday (Jan. 14), and as Us Weekly reports, Bryan asked Shelton how likely it was that he'll drop 20 pounds before his wedding.

Shelton replied that he has a 10 out of 10 chance of losing the weight, saying, “I feel like if I say 10, I have to do it. So 10. It’s out there now. I can’t let people down.”

The singer jokes that he's "readjusted all the mirrors in the house" due to his quarantine weight gain, "so they look like when you’re taking a selfie from up above, because I can’t even stand to look at myself in the mirror. So I’ve rearranged them where they’re kind of angled down, looking down on me, so I’m looking up and it’s not so bad.”

Shelton and Stefani spent most of their coronavirus quarantine on his ranch in Oklahoma with her kids, then moved into their first home together, a massive California mansion, in time for the new school year. They announced their engagement in October. The couple have not yet revealed a wedding date.

Tradingview: How to create a For Loop

Warning: Declaration of ElementorPro\Modules\Posts\Skins\Skin_Content_Base::register_controls(Elementor\Widget_Base $widget) should be compatible with Elementor\Controls_Stack::register_controls() in /home/customer/www/ on line 17

In this post, we are going to take a look at pine script’s for loop, how to use it and go over some useful examples. If you are new to programming or pine script in general than this will (hopefully) provide a gentle introduction.

The For Loop

Before we start talking about how to use For loops, we should first have a basic understanding of what they are. For Loops are common to almost every modern programming language. They allow you to perform repetitive tasks without needing to repeat line after line of code. I simple terms, they repeat the same lines of code over and over again. This not only saves time but it also makes your code easier to read whilst at the same time, reduces your chance of making an error or bug. Whilst the syntax and terminology of loops might seem a bit intimidating at first. They are quite simple to understand once you get past the technical jargon.

The Syntax

Now we have a concept of what a For loop is supposed to do, the next logical step would be to take a look at the syntax. I.e. how should we actually write a for loop? Let’s take a look at the official example from the Tradingview Wiki and break it down line by line.

The example, whilst very informative is written in quite a technical way. Sure, it is easy to understand if you have a background in programming but for the novice who is primarily interested in the market, and just dabbling in programming, it can tough to understand. So without further ado, here is the breakdown.

var_declarationX =

This is the first part of the first line. It just a simple variable like any other you are used to working with. The key thing here is that a value is returned from the loop after the loop is completed. In pine script, a loop can return a value at the end just like a function (a tutorial on pine script functions is here) and that value is stored in var_declarationX.

for counter = from_num to to_num

This is where the main magic happens. for, = and to are the key bits you need to remember. The rest you are free to change. For example, for i = 0 to 10 is also a valid declaration. This is basically saying, loop from number 0 to number 10.  counteris just another variable name that holds the loop number we are on. So for example, infor i = 0 to 10, iwill = 0 on the first loop, 1 on the second loop 2, on the third loop and so on.  This is important as i allows us to access different data on each loop through the code.

from_num and to_num can be variables that we declared before the loop or actual numbers as shown in the for i = 0 to 10 example. So if you have a variable called x that has a value 10,  you can write the same loop as for i = 0 to x.

Simple example:

Running the code above will return a straight line on the chart with a value of 55. Why? Because we are looping through adding ito yon each run of the loop. As discussed above, the value of ichanges every loop. So:

0 + 0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 = 55

On the chart:

For loop example 1

[by step_num]

by step_numis useful when you only want to use certain values in a range. For example, if you only want to get the close value every 2 bars, you can use a step number of two. Let’s add a step number to the example above and see what happens.

Running the new example above will result in a straight line showing 30 because:

0 + 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 = 30

You can see that the loop is now assigning i values in steps of 2.

Now we are passed the first line, it is worth looking at indentation. Indentation is the number of white spaces between the start of the line and the text. Notice how that lines following the first line are all indented by 4 spaces? This is not an accident. Indenting by 4 spaces informs the pine script interpreter that the line is part of the loop and not part of the main script. Therefore, any logic that is part of the loop MUST be indented by 4 spaces.

It is important to stress the importance of 4 spaces again (or multiple of 4 e.g 8, 12,16) because any other number or multiple will result in an error. This is because other indentation levels (e.g 2 whitespaces) are reserved for line wrapping/continuation. For more on that topic see here: Tradingview: Line Wrapping.

Running the code above with 2 whitespaces will result in the following error:

'Add to Chart operation failed, reason: line 5: mismatched input 'y' expecting 'end of line without line continuation'

And if you ask me, that is not a user-friendly error message!

var_decl0 and  var_decl1

This is part of the official example is just to tell you that you can declare variables within the loop. It is worth pointing out that these variables must be returned if you want to use them outside of the loop.

For example, running:

Will result in the following error:

Add to Chart operation failed, reason: line 10: Undeclared identifier z

However, if you return z at the end of the loop you can access it like so

The continuekeyword can be used to skip parts of the for loop code if certain conditions are met. When the condition is met all code following the continuekeyword is NOT executed. In the example below, we have added a check to see if zequals 10. Because it does, it means that the rest of the loop is skipped every time.

Plotting this on the chart you will see yalways has the value of 0and zhas the value nabecause zis never returned.

A more practical example of whencontinuecan be useful, is to sum the volume only on down days. If there is an up day, continue (skip it).

This will result in a chart that looks something like this:

For loop example 5

breakis another special keyword for pine script loops. It stops the loop when a condition is met. So instead of skipping lines of the loop, using breakskips the rest of the loops.

For example, you might want to loop through the past 10 bars of data but stop as soon as you find a certain value. So to continue with the theme of the example above, we can count the number of consecutive up days and then break the loop as soon as you find a down day.

That will result in a chart which looks something similar to this:

For loop example 6

Other things to note

Before we conclude this part and move onto a full code example, there are another couple of things to point out that could leave you scratching your head if not mentioned.

The first, which may not be obvious, is that 0 is one loop. So if you want to do twenty loops, you need to go from 0 to 19 or 1 to 20 and not 0 to 20.

The second involves variables. In the examples above, when we add a value to y, it has already been declared. Therefore,. when you need to assign a new value,  you must use := instead of just =. The reason for this is better suited to another post but if you want to look into it more now, search for the topic “Mutable Variables“.

Full Code Example

Now we understand the different parts of a For Loop, let’s move onto a practical example. In the code below we are going to use a for loop to perform some basic technical analysis. It will iterate (loop over) open and close data in order to provide the percentage of how many bars closed up vs down within a given lookback period. We can then use this to get a rolling picture of sentiment.

On the charts

Final For Loop Example

Ideas to extend the code:

After becoming comfortable with this code example, you can extend it to provide even more data insights. For example, you could further investigate:

  • How much price changed in total during the lookback period. Did we have periods where more than 50% of the candles were green but price actually dropped?
  • What percentage of total volume was allocated to up days vs down days? Have there been any instances where there has been more volume on down days but the price moved up over the lookback period?

These are just two ideas to spark your imagination. I believe extending the code with a clear question in mind will really help cement the ideas and concepts in this post.

5Stars~Bitter Sweet Deception~by Tara Oakes

This novella is intended for those 18+ of age and contains strong language, sexual content, and adult situations.

The Kingsmen M.C's saga continues in this newest installment of Tara Oakes' tantalizing new series. In the first three novella's you've come to know and love the characters within the club. Jay and Lil's have had their epic love story play out over the pages of "A Lil' Less Broken", followed by "A Lil' Less Lost" and finally, "A Lil' Less Hopeless". While their fairytale is far from over, the next arc in the series concentrates on some of the other intriguing characters that have been woven throughout Jay and Lil's storyline.

The question on everyone's mind is.... WHO IS CHARLIE? And what is she hiding?
Planting herself deep within the club's inner circle, Charlie came to Chisolm with one goal in mind... to destroy the Kingsmen, M.C., no matter the personal cost. An unknown hatred fuels her mission to take them down. Pairing herself up with one of the club's bad boy's, the M.C.'s enforcer, Clink, seemed like just the ticket to get her in the door.

Once inside the club she had been eyeing from afar, she comes to realizes things are very different from what she had imagined them to be. Villainizing the group as a whole for an injustice that was done to her many years earlier no longer seemed to fit with growing attachments and relationships she was forming.

And then there's Clink. He may very well be the wild card thrown into the mix that derailed Charlie's plans from the get go. Originally, serving as nothing but a way in to the club, and a body to warm her sheets at night, Clink has thrown Charlie for a loop. Determined from an early age to never need a man, Charlie can't help but find herself drawn to him in a carnal and ethereal way. She's tried to fight it, to deny it, but it was in vain. He calls her sugar... but, she's anything but sweet.

A chance twist of luck placed Charlie right in the middle of club politics, where she was able to help free the club's Vice President, Jay, from serving time for murder he did not commit, but willingly confessed to in Book 2. Her risk earned her the hard earned respect and admiration that is hard to come by in the world of the M.C.

Now that she finally has a place of her own in life, a place where she belongs and is wanted... is she willing to give it up? Give Him up? Willing to let it all slip through her fingers? Find out in Book 4 of Tara Oakes' Kingsmen M.C. series, "Bitter Sweet Deception"

Hot Damn this is an excellent series.
Lemme tell you how this went down.
I was a virgin to Tara-Oakes books, but I was like a sex addict once
I started A Lil Less Broken.
I was fiending for my next fix.
I read the entire series in a 24 hour period. Staying up til 5am frantically reading one right after the other.
I fell  hard for Jay and Lil.
They were perfect for each other.
Passionate, stubborn, smartass, sexy, lustful human beings fighting for the love they had for one another against all odds!
There is absolutely nothing like a
strong, sexy, alpha pissed off and in love.  They love hard,
sex harder,
and fight like hell!
I'd like to think if I was the female lead in this series,  I would be sassy and smart mouthed as Lil and as kind and Freaky as Charlie.

You couldn't tell Lil nothing.
She was gonna do it her way first!
Charlie,  well now she was determined!
I was just as cautious about Charlie
as Jay was when she stepped on the scene.
I was pretty sure I wasn't gonna like her.  I had my mind made up, but then things started to unfold and slowly but surely she crept into my heart!

Charlie was on a mission.
One that got heavily detoured by Clink.
I feel HOOK. LINE. & SINKER for Clink!
I wanted his dirty, filthy, delicious mouth as much as you will.  Trust me girl!
If you thought Jay and Lil were good together,  Charlie and Clink will knock your socks off!
I can't wait to find out the future of these two.  I have a feeling it won't be an easy road traveled!

Couch Pooper Puck

About a year ago a cat pooped on our brand new sofa and we assumed it was Chris. I even accused him in this post. We later realized it was Puck doing the bad deed (see here). We assumed he was doing it because the addition of the sofa interfered slightly with access to the litter boxes, so we moved them to a new location and the pooping stopped.

A couple of weeks ago the pooping started up again. I thought it was because our new addition, Floki, was adding to the amount of poop in the litter boxes and Puck didn’t like that. I scoop more often but it’s hard to keep up when I am sleeping or at work so we decided it was time for another litter box.

I went to PetSmart about two weeks ago on Sunday but their litter box choices were very poor. An employee told me a truck was coming in the next day but I needed something right away so I bought the biggest box that I could find, which my wife thought it was too small. I went back the next day but the selection was still terrible so I just returned it.

We went to a different PetSmart the following Saturday. I was looking for another Giant Litter Pan but the box in the center of the below picture was the best we could find. I should have just ordered it on Amazon since we waited almost a week just to settle for okay.

cat litter boxes

Since adding the new box, Puck has pooped on the sofa one time. I thought I might have to move the new box in front of it but I don’t want to do that so we will see if the badness continues.

gissa job

it’s happened. finally, after years of being a professional diva, i have been forced to take a position. and before all you rude people jump to conclusions, i mean i’ve been forced to take a… such an ugly word… job. yes, your favorite diva will be starting work on monday… in an office… with desks and chairs and and and… dare i say it?… bosses.

of course, i have absolutely no idea what they are expecting me to do as i’m sure they’ll be providing an assistant to do the actual work. i’ve booked an early session at the spa for 11 on monday so i should arrive in time for whatever it is they foresee i will be doing. i do hope they won’t be asking me to actually use one of those horrible little PCs that they have. they must realise that a diva only uses a mac?

the pay is appalling. i don’t know how they expect peasants to live on the crumbs they give you, let alone someone like me. but because of this financial crisis bla bla bla  my lawyers keep harping on about, it seems that i must accept the pocket money they’re offering with enthusiasm and gratitude. i’ve told them it won’t keep me in underwear, not to mention the (regrettably skeleton) staff i am obliged to maintain. fortunately, they (the minions) have few expectations or ambitions so working for peanuts won’t really bother them.

and what does one wear to this workplace? i suppose i should dress down for the occasion. i don’t want to unleash the full force of the diva on day one. i can’t guard against all the office gossip that will ensue from having a celebrity in the mix but i won’t be the one to hand out the ammunition. oh! that reminds me. i must talk to the head of security at the company. it seems that they let riff-raff just walk in off the streets! haven’t they heard of the paparazzi? or stalkers? or fans? good grief, it’s going to be a long week.

i’m going to lie down. it’s exhausting just thinking about it.

fyi: the title of this post “gissa job” was the catchphrase of the character yosser hughes (bernard hill) from the tv series “boys from the blackstuff” (1982) by alan bleasdale. in case you were wondering…

Boosting recycling through the tax system

The government has announced that it has received record-breaking support from members of the public to counter the blight of plastic waste. Here’s what they said:

Individuals, businesses and campaign groups have expressed overwhelming support for action on tackling the impact of plastics on our environment.

The backing comes as HM Treasury publishes the summary of responses to its recent call for evidence on how tax can be used to reduce plastic waste. The call attracted an unprecedented 162,000 responses, the highest in the Treasury’s history.

The Chancellor, Philip Hammond, has reiterated the department’s commitment to act through the tax system to reduce the amount of single-use plastic waste. The views received will help inform and shape the government’s approach ahead of this year’s Budget.

Measures which received noteworthy public support and are being considered include using the tax system to:

  • encourage greater use of recycled plastic in manufacturing rather than new plastic,
  • discourage the use of difficult to recycle plastics, like carbon black plastic,
  • reduce demand for single-use plastics like coffee-cups and takeaway boxes,
  • encourage further recycling as opposed to incineration.

It will be interesting to see Mr Hammond’s more detailed ideas if and when they become part of the Autumn Budget later this year.

According to Treasury sources, the department is also looking at how it could further support measures to fund the development of new, greener products and innovative processes that will help ensure a more sustainable future for the country.

This work forms part of the government’s overall commitment to eliminate all avoidable plastic waste. It builds on the recently announced £20 million plastics innovation fund – to support the production of sustainable and recyclable plastics – and follows the £61.4 million announced by the Prime Minister to be invested in tackling plastic in the world’s oceans.

How to T.H.E.M.E. Your Bank

By Kevin Dulle

“Work is theatre and every business a stage” is what authors B. Joseph Pine II and James H. Gilmore tell us in their book The Experience Economy. It may sound like a metaphor, but in the world of business and experiences, it is not.

Every business is a stage for your product offering, and your staff are the performers that engage customers in motivating them to buy what you offer. Goods and signage are staged and displayed as props and backdrops for your business. These actions are what supports the idea that work is theatre, and like all good theatre productions, your work needs to have a theme to set yourself apart from others in your industry.

Themes are a way of identifying the uniqueness of what you do—to separate it from other similar events or activities.

“Under the Sea” dances, retro drive-in diners, an Italian restaurant, and even many sport championship parties are themed events. Themes, in the general sense, help guide the sensory cues and activities related to the theme and establish any aesthetic details of the surroundings.

Theming can help communicate to a visitor, guest, and customer a story behind the environment and a purpose for the interaction. Themes may be a good way to establish the concept but may not always be the end solution to providing a true economic experience. Some business that rely on a theme solely to drive their business soon fall from favor of customers.

Don’t become the Rainforest Café of banking.

Recall some of the classically themed businesses that now struggle because they rely on the theming rather than using the theme as the guiding concept. Look at the Rainforest Café. Even though the theme is very predominant, the engagement lacks individual customization and staff is not scripted around the theme. It is a merely a restaurant in a fake rainforest. It was entertaining the first few times, but its charm soon waned for repeat customers because it never changed and eventually became a distraction when dining.

Another prime example of missing the mark is Niketown. The name expresses that it was an active environment around Nike and sports. After a short time, all interactive experiences where halted and Nike relied on the idea of sports through visual cues. But customers could not interact with the staged environment. It was a sports theme that lacked any sports activities.

A wonderful example of a theme as a guiding principle is the Library Hotel in New York. Its theme is the Dewey Decimal system. Each floor is assigned a different category, and each room is a different book. Even the lobby hosts a huge selection of books and mimics that of a classic library. Here, the theme dictates more than just the environment or décor. It also defines the attitudes of the staff, the underlying story, and how all five senses will be engaged.

So how can a bank leverage theming to set itself apart from the competition?

Just as importantly, how can it avoid relying on the theme to be the business?

One way is to see the word THEME as an acronym for a systematic approach to employing theme properly and effectively.

T – Theme the experience.

Define a theme that will guide your design, props, product packaging, staff scripts, and marketing messages. The theme can be obvious and bold or can be subtle and subdued. No matter the level of awareness, a theme helps frame all interactions and staging.

H – Harmonize impressions with positive cues.

Avoid mixing content, messages, and even environmental elements that clash with your theme. Only use those elements that complement the theme and your business intent. If your bank wishes to leverage a nautical theme, then use color, details, shapes, and even imagery that reflect and support the overall theme you choose. Imagine your door handles as brass corded rope or door windows as round to represent portholes without overdoing the idea.

E – Eliminate negative cues.

Avoid mixing in cues and details that do not relate to the underlying theme. Cues that do not harmonize with the theme create conflict, and eventually confuse the customer. Other negative cues that should be removed are those that degrade the environment—like taped-on signs, scraps of paper lying about, or even staff outfits that don’t distinguish them from customers. If it does not support the theme, remove it.

M – Mix in memorabilia.

Mix in items that remind customers of their visit or interaction with your business. These are memory cues to their experience. Memorabilia can also be conversation triggers for others who interact with your customers. Again, the memorabilia you choose still must be harmonized with the theme being presented. Playing on the nautical theme, a small token could include shells with your logo or a document clip for wealth management papers that have a small life preserver attached. You could even use those little round candies as treats for kids.

E – Engage all five senses.

Finally, you must engage all five senses to truly embed the experience in the minds of the customer. Every strong experience stager understands that an experience is engaged on multiple levels and can be a great reinforcement to the customer’s memory.

One of the most important sense is of smell. Smell is the most powerful and direct link to our memory and is the least leveraged. Scent machines can create custom fragrances, or signature scents, that can become an aroma logo to your business.

The benefits of T.H.E.M.E.-ing.

By leveraging a defined theme and using T.H.E.M.E as the guiding framework, a bank can focus its delivery, control its messages, and clearly understand which elements are needed in customer engaged environments—physical or even digital.

A theme also enhances the experience that is staged for a customer through all of the senses.

Themes can also be unique to each location to add a sense of community or to establish a style of the brand. A great example of this is Kimpton Boutique Hotels, which provides unique themes for each location yet embraces an overall corporate brand as part of a larger idea. For Kimpton Boutique Hotels, each location defines itself to its environment and identifies its unique offering in each city.

Just as your brand identifies you in your communications, theming can help embed that brand at each visit through the staff interactions, the environment, and the scripted messages of your bank. Theming can make a statement and establish you as being different and unique in a sea of competitors and create a place that customers want to come and do business.

Eddie Kuehne

BLOC Staff Coach, PBC •

Eddie is a Professional Barbell Coach and holds the Precision Nutrition Level 2 coaching certification. He participates in GORUCK events, hikes mountains, and enjoys paddle boarding. He currently trains in-person clients in a small group setting out of his well-equipped garage studio.

Here is Eddies’ “why” when it comes to coaching:

Eddie saw positive changes once he started Barbell training (emphasis on “training”). Since the age of 13, he played around with weights and many other fitness activities, but it never made much of a difference until he found Starting Strength and hired Matt Reynolds to be his coach. At the age of 46, he began legitimate training. Now at the age of 52, he is the strongest he has ever been and continues to hit new PR’s every year. In this new journey of strength, he shares that he has become more resilient, more confident, more disciplined, and more physically capable.

Eddie says, “I’m a better person than I was six years ago. Happier, healthier, with inspiring friends and a better perspective on life.”

Eddie understands the frustration and confusion middle-aged people experience when trying to get in shape–in fact, he has seen this tension in his own life. To others facing this challenge, he emphasizes that there is still hope.  He believes that if you’re looking to make a change or stay on the path to a stronger, healthier, happier you, start with a barbell. Build a foundation that will support all of your fitness goals.

Eddie finds purpose in sharing the lessons he has learned with as many people as he can—specifically you.  If you’re looking for a coach who walks the talk, Eddie is here to help you, inspire you, and lead you to a more fulfilling journey in the second half of life.  Join him as he plans on living a full, balls-out, kick-ass life.

Palpate:  Pal-pate

pal-pat-ed, pal-pat-ing, pal-pates

To examine by feeling with hands and fingers; used by some archaic physical therapists, who (Bless their Hearts) just don’t know any better.

As many of you know, I’m currently fortunate enough to be on an APTA board tasked with developing a definition for a new Board Certification which will fall along the lines of:  Primary Care or Family Practice or Family Health (or whatever title meets consensus).    Well as we flushed out what exam skills should be included in this specialty we fleshed out a solid 2-3 paragraphs on behavioral testing and under palpation?  Nothing.  The Palpate bullet stood alone.  When I suggested it needed some description the other members of the group (all senior and experienced clinicians) didn’t show a lot of excitement to elaborate on the “palpation” bullet.

A little about me….my exam is MOSTLY palpation…the more experienced I become as a clinician the MORE I rely on palpation.  I was an Army Physical Therapist for 20 years and I was awarded the Surgeon General’s award for clinical expertise.  In one year of a cash-based clinical practice with 0$ spent on advertising I had a 4-week waiting list.  I’m only mentioning this to underscore that I must be doing something right as a clinician and palpation is the cornerstone of my practice.

I always tell my students that “your eyes can be fooled, your ears misled, but your hands will perceive a true reflection of what is happening in your patient’s body.”  If my clinical experience has any validity to it at all…and I’m inclined to believe it does based on my patient success rate…then why has the profession of physical therapy turned away from palpation?  I feel that as the pendulum has swung towards Evidence Based Practice, it has at the same time swung away from Intuition and Feeling of which palpation is a tool.  Our research based institutions have a hard time “measuring” palpation for validity or reliability and so it’s been shunned to a great extent.

I’m not arrogant or foolish enough to think that the ramblings of an “old” clinician will affect any change of teaching in any physical therapy program, I’m just mentioning it here to plant the seed for younger clinicians.  These younger clinicians who at some point in their career may become “burned out” or disillusioned with their profession because patient after patient just doesn’t seem to be making spectacular improvement in spite of following the Clinical Practice Guidelines to the letter.  I’d advise these younger clinicians to take a moment…close their eyes, screen their ears, turn ON their intuition and really “feel” what their hands and fingers are palpating.

Top 10 European clubs sustain their division (Part 2)

2. Barca
A collection of Swiss, Catalan and English footballers led by Joan Gamper founded the Blaugrana in 1899 and the club have remained in the top tier of the tournament. Until 1929, when La Liga was formed, consequently, Barcelona played in the championship of the Catalonia province and qualified for the Copa del Rey along with the other provincial champions when Spain did not have a national football league. Until the Copa del Rey was dropped in 1940 Barca won 22 out of the 37 editions of the tournament.
Despite claiming the very first edition of the competition and having a successful start in the La Liga league era, Barca had to wait to win a second league title in 1945. When they finished 12th their lowest ebb came in the 1941/42 season that the club has ever finished to date remains the lowest.
History is not all they have when Barcelona won 8 times the Spanish La Liga in the last eleven seasons and have dominated modern-day football. Barcelona excluded a sixth-place finish in 2002/03 and since the 1987/88 season the club hasn’t finished outside of the top four in La Liga.
Over time, a huge number of trophies has been accumulated by Barcelona. They share two FIFA Club World Cup trophies, a record five UEFA Super Cup, have claimed five UEFA Champions League titles, a record four UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup, and a record three Inter-Cities Fairs Cup. They have also won 28 Copa del Rey, 24 La Liga, 12 Supercopa de España, 3 Copa Eva Duarte titles and 2 Copa de la Liga trophies in Spain.Those made Barca become one of the most successful clubs in European history.
Barcelona had represented comfortable to so many football stars who are owned and influenced by the fans like their fierce rivals Madrid from the likes of Maradona and Johann Cruyff in the past to Lionel Messi and Rivaldo in recent years,. With time, their Més que un club motto (More than a club) has now matured into a symbol of its people and the Catalan society when the players have grown to represent it.
