    Hello Christian,

    I am really taken with the “Twicet” theme. I purchased the “Clean Cut” (HTML) theme just before you did the WordPress version. I think I may want that.

    So here is my initial question;

    I want to run this site as a Website with a static Home/Front page (Not the blog as the Home/Front Page). It appears as though that is the way the demo is set up. However, though I know how in WP Admin point to the Home “Page” as the home page and then make “Blog” as where the posts set up but . . . I have purchased based on what demo’s looked like before and made the change for the Front page to be the “Home (static)” page and ended up with 2 home page links and had to jump through a bunch of hoops to get rid of the additional home page (Point to the blog) and would rather not have to go through that.

    Is it easy with your themes (Both CleanCut and Twicet) to have a static home page and the blog accessible through a link like you seem to have it set up in the demo?

    I will purchase as soon as I get an affirmative reply from you on this issue.

    Mike C

    Hey Mike!

    Yes, both themes are configured in that way. Dont even change the wp admin setting for the front page, just leave it as “show blog posts”, it will use the themes index.php file then which means it wil look just like in my demo. If you are using cleancut you even get a content auto installer that sets up your site so it looks like my live preview if you wish to ;)

    EXCELLENT! Thank you so much.

    Mike C

    The Best Value Around!
    KellyinAiken (1 review)

    I was very impressed with their knowledge about HVAC and their customer service details...I am sure I may I gotten a cheaper HVAC unit elsewhere but the value behind Mr. Central is the reason that made up mind to purchase from them...Not because they pressured me in anyway but because, as I said before, they were very knowledgeable and very quickly had answers to my questions even on a Saturday. I am very satisfied and would reccomend to anyone in the future

L.A. Breast Reduction
Avosant Surgical Associates
LA Breast Reduction Experts

It’s finally here! Today is the day you’ve been waiting weeks or even months for...it’s finally time for your breast reduction surgery! Though we can’t tell you every single detail of what happens in the operating room, we can describe the general techniques of breast reduction surgery as well as some things to expect on the day of surgery.

When you arrive at Rexford Surgical Institute, our Surgical staff will ask you to register and complete some necessary paperwork. Your companions, including family members, will not be able to accompany you to the surgery or recovery areas, and they will be asked to wait in the waiting room. They will be asked to join you as needed. After changing into a patient gown in the pre-operative area, you will be examined and evaluated by Dr. Golshani, and Avosant’s anesthesiologist and registered nurses, to confirm that you are ready for surgery. Dr. Golshani will also measure and mark your breast incisions and the new positions of your nipples. To properly receive necessary fluids during surgery, an intravenous catheter (IV) will be inserted in your hand or arm veins and to monitor your heart, patches will be placed on your skin. If needed, intravenous medications will be used to prevent anxiety. When you finally get to the operating room, the anesthesiologist will put more medications into your IV, and soon you will fall asleep listening to soft music.

Many of our breast reduction patients have little or no memory of the time immediately before and after their surgery. They are peacefully asleep during the approximately four hours of the surgical procedure and they are usually resting during the average two hours in the recovery area.

Dr. Daniel Golshani and the Avosant Surgical Associates have been performing breast reduction surgery for more than 12 years. During these years, they have acquired much experience and been able to further refine their surgical techniques. The main goals of the surgery are to remove breast tissue and excess skin as well as correct ptosis (droopy breasts) by moving the nipples up to a higher position on the chest. Though the same exact operation is usually performed on both breasts, asymmetries and/or reconstruction of one breast after a mastectomy may require different incisions or surgical techniques to be used on one breast versus the other. In addition, breast reduction can be performed unilaterally (on one breast) or bilaterally (on both breasts).

Depending on the overall shape and size of your breast, Dr. Golshani will choose the best incision technique for you in order to minimize scarring and maximize results.

Incisions are made in the middle of the breast as a circular pattern around your areola (darker skin around the nipple) and excess skin, except the nipple - areola complex, is removed from the lower part of the breast. Different incision options include an upside-down “T” (anchor-shaped pattern), an upside-down “L” pattern, or a keyhole pattern where the incision is made around the areola and vertically down to the crease of the breast only.

In order for the nipple to survive and maintain its rich nerve and blood supply, it is left attached to its tissue and the breast. In addition, leaving the nipples attached to their glandular component allows most patients to breastfeed in the years after surgery. This breast tissue attachment is called the nipple pedicle and it is specifically designed based on the surgeon’s experience and patient’s surgical needs.

Patients who have extremely large or long breasts or certain medical risks, such as a history of smoking or gigantomostia (extreme growth of the breasts), may require the nipple to be treated like a skin graft rather than leave it in a pedicle that would be too long and too wide to properly reduce the breast. With free nipple grafting, the nipple and appropriate amount of areola is completely removed from the breast to be attached later during the surgery.

After the breast incisions are made and the nipple pedicle is separated, it is time to reduce your breasts and reposition your nipples. Breast tissue is removed, weighed and sent to a laboratory for analysis by a pathologist to evaluate normalcy. Excess skin and fat are also removed to sculpt the breasts and the nipple while the areola is moved into its new, higher position. Some women have enlarged areolas that can be reshaped and made smaller during surgery.

Dr. Golshani uses several techniques to shape the breasts. The Inferior Pedicle Technique, which uses the upside-down "T" or keyhole incisions, is the most commonly performed technique and produces the most predictable outcomes especially for women with extremely large or droopy breasts. However, modified variations may be used in different patients on an individualized basis.

Occasionally, a breast liposuction (suction lipectomy) is used to help contour the chest and the sides of each breast. This technique utilizes small stainless steel tubes, called cannulas, which are connected to a suction pump and inserted through very small incisions into the fat tissue. Excess fat is sucked out to help shape the area. Recently, liposuction is being used as the main breast reduction technique to reduce breast size without any major incisions. This surgical technique is best suited for patient with minimal or no ptosis (droopy breasts, good skin tone and fatty, non dense breast tissue. Though the results of this technique are not drastic, there is a quicker healing time, less risk of damage to the nipple, and little scarring. In addition, laser or ultrasounds assisted techniques may be used in some cases as needed.

Dissolvable (absorbable) and removable (non-absorbable) sutures are used to create, support and anchor the remaining breast tissue to each other and to the deep chest tissue while closing the surgical incisions . Drains are usually left in for one to two days to help remove excess blood and tissue fluid, and dressings consisting of gauze are placed with bandages and/or a surgical bra.

Breast lifts, also known as a mastopexy, use some of the same surgical techniques as a breast reduction. However, a breast lift deals mainly with breast sagging (ptosis) and not with its weight. Because very little volume is removed in a breast lift, it is not generally covered by insurance companies who require a minimum amount of breast weight to be removed in surgery.

Breast augmentation and concomitant lift, also known as augmentation mastopexy, are also procedures very commonly performed by Dr. Daniel Golshani. Both surgeries require significant surgical experience to be performed correctly and safely.

There are a few breast reduction patients who actually benefit from a breast augmentation. Women who have heavy, flat and long breasts may have very little breast volume and projection, and a breast augmentation with implants can create a fuller look. However, insurance does not usually cover this procedure.

Gynecomastia, or enlarged breasts in male patients, is actually a common condition and may affect one breast or both. In fact, it is estimated that Gynecomastia impacts approximately 40% to 60% of men at some point in their lives. For men who feel self-conscious about their appearance or have excess chest skin due to significant weight loss, liposuction, or subcutaneous mastectomy, a breast reduction can be a very appropriate surgical option resulting in a chest that is better contoured, flatter, and firmer.

Creve Coeur branch manager Mark Cooper

With loan interest rates still at an all-time low, USA Mortgage stands at the ready for prospective homebuyers.

“It’s an excellent opportunity to buy now,” says Mark Cooper, Creve Coeur branch manager.

Among the top mortgage banks in the state, USA Mortgage has completed a record fourth-straight billion-dollar annual loan volume. And Cooper, a 16-year veteran, has been recognized in the top 1 percent of loan officers nationwide for the past 10 years.

The local, privately owned mortgage company has continued to grow—adding more than 100 employees and three branches in the past three years—due to its experienced staff. “We have aggressively hired good quality loan officers,” Cooper notes.

At the Creve Coeur branch—the top office in the company for the past three years—loan officers each have at least 10 years of industry experience. Cooper says the seasoned staff and the bank’s customized service keep clients coming back—and sending in referrals.

Clients choose among the bank’s five programs to best fit their needs. “The office is a one-stop shop—we process, underwrite and close the loans all in-house, and there’s a title company in-house, as well, so the process is as streamlined as it can get for customers,” Cooper says. The office also has the flexibility and time-efficiency customers desire. “Clients have the ability to apply for a loan in person, online or by phone,” he adds. “It’s all about options.”

In today’s market, USA Mortgage is helping clients take advantage of the historically low home loan interest rates. “We expect the record rates to continue through at least the end of the year,” Cooper says.

Whether clients are buying or selling a home, Cooper emphasizes that this is the perfect time. “Even if you are selling a home and not getting what it is worth out of it, you can make it up through the low interest rates on the new home you buy.”

In addition to its Creve Coeur headquarters, located at 12140 Woodcrest Executive Drive, Suite 150, the company has branches throughout the bi-state St. Louis metro area.

Research examines state responses to health-care reform

David Weimer David Weimer

Political partisanship partly explains states' different responses to the federal Affordable Care Act, which seeks to change fundamentally the U.S. health care system, new research by La Follette School Professor David Weimer finds.

Partisanship is less important in the case of Medicaid expansion, Weimer and Simon F. Haeder, a University of Wisconsin–Madison graduate student, find in research published online this week by the Journal of Health Politics, Policy and Law.

Haeder and Weimer specially examine the decision-making of states concerning the creation of Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan programs and insurance marketplaces, as well as the expansion of Medicaid in historical context. They identify characteristics of state-federal grant programs, including slow and uneven implementation, wide variation across states, federal accommodation, ideological conflict, state responses to incentives, incomplete take-up rates of eligible individuals, and programs as stepping-stones and wedges.

Weimer and Haeder conclude by applying the themes to the ACA and offer an outlook for its continuing implementation. "Specifically, we expect a gradual move toward universal participation by states in the ACA, especially with respect to Medicaid expansion," Weimer says.

New mobile device to access CSE trading on the go

July 24, 2015 (LBO) – IronOne Technologies, a software product development company has launched ‘ATrad Mobile’ for busy investors to access the CSE for real-time market information, and to trade securely on their smart phones, a statement said.

“‘ATrad Mobile’ has easy to use stock trading features and capabilities that allow clients to securely trade stocks, track and manage portfolios and market movements, as well as analyze industry research and trends,” the company said in a statement.

Lakmini Wijesundera, Chief Executive Officer of IronOne Technologies says the launch is timely because the CSE has encouraged the industry and all the broker firms to adopt new technology trends to be
ready for global investment opportunities.

“ATrad Mobile expands accessibility beyond the traditional desktop or laptop,”

“In Sri Lanka alone there are nineteen million mobile phone subscribers while the number of desktops or laptops lag around six million,”

“Therefore, easy mobile access immediately opens up CSE trading and market access by more than ten fold.”

ATrad Mobile has a plug and play approach and is easy to start using as it works on any type or size of mobile device such as an iPhone, iPad, Android phone, Android Tab or a Windows phone among others.

Read more about HP Pavilion TX1210CA AC Adapters before ordering

When ordering a HP Pavilion TX1210CA AC adapter, check the voltage and amperage on the bottom of the laptop to make sure you are ordering the correct AC adapter. Some models have more than one AC adapter depending on the amperage rating. The rating should be taken from the laptop, not the AC adapter because this is the best match of what the laptop needs. You should find a rating that looks like this: 18.5V --- 3.5A. It can be on the label on the bottom of the laptop or in the battery compartment. AC adapters are safe to use within +/- 1V of the laptop voltage. It is also safe to have a higher amperage than marked on the laptop becuase the laptop can only pull the amperage it needs. Less than the required amperage will cause the power supply to burn up because the laptop is pulling more amperage than the AC adater can give it. Also, check the DC Jack on the back of the laptop to make sure it is not loose. This will cause the laptop to appear like the AC adapter is bad when the laptop is just not making connection with power.

State plans to measure water use

-A A +A
By David Giuliani

New measuring stations on the Gallinas River should give the state a better handle on how much water acequias are using, officials say.

It’s been a slow process, but the state engineer’s office has entered agreements with 11 of 12 area Las Vegas-area acequias — community ditch organizations — to allow the installation of state-funded measuring stations to tabulate water use.

It happens every year – the slides are due for the XML Summer School, and some people have them done early, and others don’t. Sometimes it’s because Life Happens – family members fall ill, bosses demand more hours, other people on whom you’re depending are late. Sometimes it’s because you hit the logjam or just can’t get started. (By which I mean me, not just you). The same deadline dilemma applies to other projects, of course; any task that takes more than 10 minutes, and sometimes even those, just Don’t Get Done.

Getting other stuff done first can be useful to clear the decks, as it were. Structured procrastination can be a good way to get other necessary tasks completed in an effort to hold off the really important, urgent, frighteningly looming task. But eventually you (by which I mean me) actually do have to start working on the project, have to find the motivation from somewhere.

A couple of years ago I discovered the Pomodoro technique. When I remember to use it, it solves the problem in a number of ways.

The principle of work for 20 minutes, then take a 5 minute break, repeat until done is simple. It means I can give myself a reward at the end of the 20 minutes (stand up, stretch, tidy up the desk, get a glass of water). I take notes on interesting ideas or items that might side-track me, that I can get back to after the 20 minutes are up (or even later), rather than following them during the work time. And after 20 minutes of doing something on the project, the momentum has built up and I want to keep going, want to finish what I’m working on.

Nice side-effects – my office is tidier (I often do that during the 5-minute break), and I think my work is better because I haven’t got side-tracked. Often which end of the elephant you start with is less important than getting started – you can always start at another end in the next work chunk. Making myself take a break for 5 minutes every 20 helps me pace myself. I stretch, stand up, breathe more deeply than when hunched over the computer screen, and feel less tired at the end of the day. I often also have ideas during the 5-minute break that help solve whatever issue I’m working on, or make it better.

Unfuck Your Habitat uses the same principle – either 20 minutes on, 10 off (the 20/10), or 45 minutes on and 15 off (45/15), for cleaning, study, or whatever needs to be done. The tagline that speaks to me the most? IT’S 20 MINUTES, NOT A LIFETIME COMMITMENT. (Their caps).

Notes: I don’t use the full pomodoro system with review and I don’t track interrupts. Maybe I’d get more benefit if I did, but I don’t feel the need.

Tools: you can get by with a kitchen timer, but you need one that does both times (20/5, 20/10, or whatever combination). I use XorTime on Windows, Pomodoro Desktop on the Mac (which appears to have been discontinued), and Pomodroido (minus all the leaderboard stuff) on Android. I turn off the ticking sound on all of them as I find it annoying and distracting.

Now I just have to remember to use this technique more often. I wish I could use it in hours-long phone calls and meetings!

Use The Law of Attraction To Attract A Laptop

by Rocky

I like the Toshiba Qosmio x500 Laptop, please I am a gamer & I like playing games & this is a Gaming Laptop. I really like this one.

Please help me manifest it plz plz plz

Law-of-Attraction-Guide Reply

You attract to your life whatever you give your focused attention and energy to, whether wanted or unwanted.

Your focused attention and energy, are your strongest thoughts, feelings and beliefs, or your vibration, and you attract from the outside what you resonate with, on the inside.

In other words, you create your reality, you create your experience, and it is with your power that you can manifest anything you desire.

There is nothing that I can do to alter my vibration, to manifest something in your reality, but you have it within yourself to manifest any reality you wish.

And here’s how….

First you must Ask.

Asking is split into two parts; the first is a goal setting exercise, followed by an effective visualization.

Without firm, precise and definite goals in your life, you will never begin to harness this power.

You might write your goal in the following way, “I want to attract a new Toshiba Qosmio x500 Laptop into my life.”

But your goal would never be reached!

You see the Law of Attraction is driven by emotion, and the underlying emotion in this goal is ‘wanting.’ Using a goal like this fails to manifest the goal, but manifests a stronger feeling of ‘wanting’ the goal.

To write an effective goal, you will need to replace the word ‘want’ with the emotion you'll have when you attract it, this is your Primary Drive Emotion.

Answer these 4 simple questions to work out your primary drive emotion.

1.What is your Desired Outcome?

2.How will you know when you are successful?

3.What will your success look like?

4.How will it feel when you are successful?

Your Primary Drive Emotion would be the answer to the last question, how will it feel when you are successful?

Now write your goal in the present tense, replacing the word ‘want’ with your Primary Drive Emotion, and see how much more powerful it is.

It might go something like this, “I am playing with excitement and amazement, and thrilled with the enjoyment that my Toshiba Qosmio x500 Gaming Laptop continues to bring Me.”

Using the word ‘continue’ is important as a ‘process word’ as it presupposes that you will ‘continue’ to have Success.

The Law of Attraction teacher Charles Haanel, tells us to “Live the spirit of these things, until they become yours by right.” What he is saying here, is the true secret to Unlocking the Law of Attraction.

He is telling us to visualize our goals to harness the power of the Law of Attraction, and that to ‘live in the spirit’ of a thing, is the true way of visualizing.

Visualization should be a daily exercise, usually taking between 20 to 30 minutes.

Take your place in a quiet position, sit still and start to clear your mind.

When you are relaxed and comfortable start to run a film of your goal in your head.

Run the film of what your goal look likes, feel the emotion that fills your body as you witness your manifested goal, and fill your body with the emotions of having it now.

Now you must believe…

The believing stage is where you avoid doubt.

Doubt is what we call the Law of Attraction blockers, and undoes all your good visualizing work.

The way to get rid of doubt or negative thought, would be to replace the negative thought with a positive thought, each time you have a negative thought, simply repeat your goal as an affirmation.

“I am playing with excitement and amazement, and thrilled with the enjoyment that my Toshiba Qosmio x500 Gaming Laptop continues to bring Me.”

The final step is receiving…

To receive sounds the simplest to step to take, but quite often it is the hardest to grasp.

Receiving is about recognising signs and opportunity to take you a step nearer to your goal.

Receiving is about always moving forward, never noticing or telling the story about things that don’t seem to be coming your way.

Receiving is the true art of ‘Living the Spirit’ of your goals, as you take up the position of having it now, and are able to express gratitude for the things you are getting in your life.

Marketo Wins Stevie Award for Demand Generation

Last week it was announced that Marketo won the Stevie Award for ‘Demand Generation Program of the Year’. They submitted a case study about ShipServ, a global e-marketplace for the shipping industry (details below).  Thanks to Marketo’s Lead Management software, ShipServ was able to send more email campaigns in less time. As a result of that, the number of opportunities per 100 contact requests increased from 3 to 11, almost a fourfold increase.

stevie awards logo for sales and customer serviceThe Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service (formerly the Selling Power Sales Excellence Awards) honor and generate public recognition of the accomplishments of sales and customer service professionals professionals worldwide. Last year’s winner was Eloqua, who had submitted a case study about their own internal demand generation processes.

The ShipServ Case Study

The Marketo press release is somewhat short on details, but Jon Miller, Marketo’s VP Marketing, pointed me at the ShipServ case study on the Marketo website, which tells the complete story.

Before Marketo, ShipServ had been using a traditional email marketing tool from VerticalResponse. They found that this did not work well for Lead Nurturing. They had to keep a calendar with reminders for email follow-ups, and then manually create the lists and send the emails. Pretty labor intensive, and from personal experience I know this is not a maintainable solution.

With Marketo they can set up automate lead nurture campaigns based on events. An event can be time-based, but also an action by a prospect, for example a website visit or a click on a link in an email. ShipServ uses this to warm up cold leads until they are sales-ready.

In addition to converting more inquiries into prospects, and more prospects into opportunities, it has also had a positive impact on the sales-marketing collaboration. For sales it is now much easier to see how marketing is directly contributing to business success.

Product-wise, ShipServ appreciated the fast implementation, including an instant-on integration with Salesforce.com: you just enter your Salesforce.com credentials and the rest is automatic. ShipServ summarized the product as “easy to use, easy to administer, and easy to learn”.

Where is the Competition?

There may be just as many awards as there are vendors, but in this case I’m genuinely impressed: the case study gives a fair amount of details, and the results are significant. It would be nice to see more competition around these type of awards: according to the honoree list it seems like Marketo was the only finalist.

Demand Generation is not about the software, it’s about how you use the software to gain business benefits. Competitions like the Stevie Awards emphasize this, and make it easier to compare vendors, not on features but on actual results.

Question to all marketing automation vendors: are you going to submit a detailed case study to the Stevie Awards next year? I’d love to see some competition.

Sales 2.0 Conference: for Marketing 2.0 too

I was recently invited to attend the Sales 2.0 Conference, which takes place on March 4 & 5, 2009 in San Francisco. I always like to attend conferences, so I gladly accepted. But I did wonder:

How does Sales 2.0 relate to Marketing Automation?

In the traditional way of thinking, if something is labeled “sales” it is clearly not marketing. Luckily, things are changing. The best definition of Sales 2.0 captures this, by mentioning the importance of having a customer-focused process that is supported by both sales and marketing:

sales 2.0 conference logo“Sales 2.0 brings together customer-focused methodologies and productivity-enhancing technologies that transform selling from an art to a science. Sales 2.0 relies on a repeatable, collaborative and customer-enabled process that runs through the sales and marketing organization, resulting in improved productivity, predictable ROI and superior performance.” – Pelin Wood Thorogood and Gerhard Gschwandtner

Having applied Sales 2.0 techniques in my own job, I’ve seen that the collaboration between marketing and sales has improved significantly: the sales team now knows what they can expect from marketing. The processes are better defined, and the outcomes are more measurable.

Sales 2.0 Tools

On this blog I often cover solutions that support the marketing & sales process. If you look at the sponsors of the Sales 2.0 Conference you get a good overview of the type of products offered in the Sales 2.0 space. This is just a subset:

  • Genius.com
    Email and analytics tools for demand generation; Genius.com offers products for both individual sales people as well as marketing teams
  • Marketo
    Lead Management software, to streamline the lead generation process from inquiry to sales-ready lead
  • Xactly
    Compensation management software; seems most interesting for larger sales organizations
  • LucidEra, Angoss, Birst
    Sales & Marketing Analytics; they will probably be upset that I bundled them together,but based on their websites it looks like they do a similar thing: providing better insight into sales & marketing performance
  • GroupSwim Sales Collaboration
    Collaboration software for Sales & Marketing teams; includes a strong knowledge sharing component.

And then there are a whole range of sales productivity tools (e.g. ConnectAndSell and Xobni) and data vendors (like JigSaw). Also, services vendors are present, from lead generation services to sales training.

The Conference Schedule

In addition to interesting Sales 2.0 vendors, the conference has an nice line-up of speakers. This includes Brian Carroll (author of Lead Management for the Complex Sale), Jim Dickie and Barry Trailer of CSO Insights, Judy Fick of Unisys and many more. The event is hosted by Gerhard Gschwandtner of SellingPower and David Thompson of Genius.com. If you want to meet up, please send me an email (leadsloth) or Tweet.

Are you planning to attend the conference? It looks like there will be some interesting topics for demand generation marketers, what is your take?

What is a Demand Generation System?

Last year Laura Ramos, the B2B Marketing guru at Forrester, stated that the lead management automation market was confusing. There are many players, and many sub-categories. Demand Generation is probably the most confusing, it can mean two things:

  • Software or services that get you in touch with new prospects so you can fill your database; this could be Search Engine Optimization (Hubspot), telesales (Phone Works) or contact databases (Demandbase, Jigsaw)
  • But it can also mean: software that automates the lead management process once leads have arrived on your website, or are already in your database (Eloqua, Marketo, Market2Lead, etc.)

If I understand it correctly, Laura uses the first definition, while Eloqua – the leading lead management automation firm – often uses the second definition. Also, David Raab publishes the Guide to Demand Generation Systems, covering Eloqua, Vtrenz, Marketo, Manticore Technology and Market2Lead, which clearly fall within the second definition.

I must side with Laura: Eloqua and similar systems do not generate demand, they primarily manage leads (in a very elaborate way though :- )

So my suggestion: replace all instances of Demand Generation System with Lead Management System!

Does that makes sense or not?

Choosing a Demand Generation System

Demand Generation Software is a hot market at the moment. Demand Gen systems can add a lot of value, especially for high-value sales processes. This can be for enterprise software companies, corporate and private banking, but also for ticket sales for sports: I never realized NBA season’s tickets were that expensive!

To help you find the right Demand Generation tools, I’ve just updated my list of Demand Generation Systems. It gives an overview of all Demand Generation vendors that I know of. If I’ve missed some, please let me know and I’ll add them to the list.

The list is not meant as a thorough review: for that, you may want to buy the Raab Guide on Demand Generation Systems by David Raab. He recently published a list of low-cost demand generation systems, which may also be interesting.

If you’re looking for selection criteria, please take a look at Maria Pergolino’s blog: vendor comparisons part 1 and part 2 (part 3 is not published yet).

Last week Laura Ramos of Forrester also gave her view on the Lead Management Automation market, which is also a good read. She does not only mention Demand Generation vendors, but also other marketing automation solution providers.

The future of the Demand Generation market

If I look at the long list of players in this market, I’d almost wonder when the first one goes belly up. However, it seems as if the market is booming, and several vendors are reporting record results (for example Market2Lead, Pardot, Marketo, Marketbright).

Is it still possible for new Demand Generation vendors to enter the market in 2009?

Reuters – “Working with hands helps develop kids’ brains”

This short article is a great reminder that technology is NOT the “be all and end all” element missing from school – it’s an important part (tool), but there are other neglected pieces we need to re-emphasize to make our schools what they could and should be. Reuters has a story making the rounds this week about one of the most important parts:

Working with hands helps develop kids’ brains -Â Playing online vs. hands-on activities tied to cognitive decline, study saysÂ

“With woodwork, metalwork, craft, music or car mechanic classes dropped by many schools and children wanting to play computer games at home, the UK is becoming a “software instead of a screwdriver society,” said the report, commissioned by the Ruskin Mill Educational Trust.Â Â Â Â Â Â

“Working with one’s own hands in a real-world 3-D environment is imperative for full cognitive and intellectual development,” said the report’s author Dr. Aric Sigman.”

This is a very important part of the “Messy” learning this blog is supposed to be about. Note that for various reasons we have gotten away from the “hands-on” part of school as well as the physical activity / motor skills part … and while I’m on my soapbox I should note that this malaise is especially true with our most “at-risk” students since their schooling is more apt to be literacy centered instead of student centered.

Learning is messy!

9 thoughts on “Reuters – “Working with hands helps develop kids’ brains”

  1. I agree with the importance of hands on activity, but I think it went by the way side long before technology entered the picture. Restricting students to pencils and books in school has been the norm for some time. With such powerful “tools” as our hands (rich in neural connections), it is a shame we limit their use in education. Why not take a balanced approach, including both hands-on exploration and technology in the classroom.

    As an occupational therapist, I am always trying to embed physical activity and motor skills within the school day. Reclaiming recess is urgent. Losing recess is always the first consequence for any school offense. Why? Let’s be more creative in our consequences and keep recess as a vital aspect of the day. The kids who lose it are the ones who need it most!

  2. I agree Beth. I think another part of this is the notion that the schools already get WAY more money than they need to do the job. The backers of restrictive “programmed” learning see it as also a cheap way out. You can cut everything else and leave it up to the family and whomever else to provide PE, Art … and make students proficient in Reading, writing, math. People will be thrilled, is the thinking, when that happens and won’t care about losing those other pieces.

    The fly in the ointment is that it doesn’t work. Kids don’t have enough schema for reading without those other pieces.

  3. This illustrates the problem of thinking of computers as merely appliances that deliver digital information. Computer software that allows students to create things should be considered part of a well-rounded “real” education that includes screwdrivers, paint, musical instruments, microscopes, cameras, etc.

    Learning on computers SHOULD be messy – it’s our own fault if we only let students use computers for text-based activities, pre-canned software and to search the Internet, and then call that “technology.”

  4. Sylvia – You are right … in my school district, at the elementary level, “computers” are once a week led by a non-certified “computer-assistant”. Since elementary teachers don’t get prep periods most teachers want the computer teacher to have students run software that is engaging enough to keep them out of their hair for 30 minutes so they can grade papers and the like. It’s a bad situation for all involved.

  5. This post seems to reinforce what we’ve been hearing and reading about children who are spending more time online and less time doing anything else, including hands-on activities, interacting with other people, physical activity, etc. I know that it is especially true that young children enjoy working with their hands, but I also know that many teachers avoid kinesthetic activities because they are “messy” and a little too chaotic (for the teacher).

    A balanced approach is always best, allowing for each learning style; that’s why it’s important to use all the tools available for learning. And, of course, those classes that lend themselves to working with the hands, such as art, should be as much a part of the core curriculum as reading, I think. Let’s hope studies like these will be a wake-up call for those who think technology is the “be all and end all” element, as noted in the post.

  6. Technology in the classroom has become a difficult situation to address. How much is too much, and how little is too little? As someone who is in the process of becoming a teacher, it’s hard for me to know how I will decide to run my own class eventually. On one hand, I feel that technology has taken the place of personal interaction and continues to consume our society in the way of video games, cell phones, computers etc. Children are growing up in an age where summer vacation involves sitting in front of a TV all day playing video games, instead of engaging in outdoor activities and forming new friendships. This is sad to me, and I think that something needs to be done! However, I also think that technology can be incredibly useful and stimulating in the classroom when used correctly. There are several games, movies, or programs that can aid in learning and engage students on a level that is very familiar to them. In this way, I find technology to be beneficial, but there must be limits and they must be enforced. Students should and need to experience both worlds: the one that is technology driven, and the one that is not. I think that balance is the key and teachers should try to incorporate both scenarios into their classrooms. Technology is certainly useful and applicable, but I also think it’s important to maintain personal interactions by using methods and techniques that existed before the tech wave!

  7. The conversation is interesting and leaves me wondering about the diversity of knowledge not only between the students but the diversity of knowledge between us as teachers as well. There really are so many teachers that are “turned off” to technology because of a variety of reasons and may not be providing their students with any exposure in their class at all.

    However, I think the message from this conversation is clear…balance seems to be the “end all and be all.”

    Old vs. New
    20th Century vs. 21st Century
    Reading a book vs. Reading Online
    Writing on Paper vs. Writing Online
    Collaborating in a class vs. Collaborating Globally
    Chalkboard vs. Smartboard
    Hands On vs. Virtual Manipulatives

    This makes me think of a Habit of Mind ~ “Begin with the end in Mind.”

    “What do I want my students to know after a particular unit of study and what strategies will I pick and choose to empower them to that end?” A little of this and a little of that.

  8. I think it’s a trend US schools have been in for a long time. My Dad was the FFA, Metal Shop and Floral design teacher until 1988 when the school decided that kids didn’t need those electives anymore and along with the car repair shop decided to do away with them. The trend of moving away from hands-on vocational skills in our school has been a slow one over time in my neck of the woods anyway.

    Now we complain that kids don’t want to take over the family farm, that getting a car fixed is getting more expensive by the day and all other vocational jobs that are needed in a society are getting more expensive.

    I’ll never forget when we were sitting at a restaurant a couple years ago and a man approached my dad and said “You probably don’t remember me, but I had you as a teacher in metal shop.”

    Dad did remember the guy who graduated in 1982 and is now a professional marine welder on large ships making a good 6 figure salary.

    I agree that doing away with vocational skills and hands-on learning is a disservice to our students at all levels. Then we complain because none of us (including me) understands how to fix our own is a little hands-on and a little computer skills these days. 🙂

    School should be messy!

Prevention they say is better than cure. The post you are about to read today will be all about 90% preventive measure and 10% solution recommendations. What am about to discuss here cut across every brand of decoders irrespective of the design or features. My guide will work for satellite company branded recievers like Dstv, mytv, canaplus official decoders, bein decoders, tvsat, startimes and any official decoder worldwide. This will also work for full free to air decoders as well as fta combo decoders.

dead decoder

By the time am through, you must have learnt one or two things about the care, maintenance and troubleshooting of your decoders. Just that satellite company branded decoders have warranty within a reasonable usage limit. For example, if your dstv decoder is totally faulty from a fault that is not yours, you are entitled to a free replacement. If you even damage your decoder, your dstv dealer will help you repair while you pay a token. Be that as it may, we all know its better not to have problems than having problems and looking for solutions. For satellite-company decoders, please read my preventive measures while other should read both preventions and cures

Must Read: How to troubleshoot no signal or weak signal when tracking channels

While i will try and be thorough with this, my list may not be exhaustive. Look out for the followings that spells trouble for your decoder.

  • Picture distortion: all of a sudden(this is a hardware problem as long as you are sure you did not make any modification on your television. First, try and test your tv is okay, be sure you did not tamper with the AV/display settings on your decoder, try another decoder with your tv to be sure the picture distortion is only peculiar to your decoder)
  • Flickering images: This is when your picture is unsteady and jumping. To troubleshoot, apply the methods above. This is also a hardware problem. You also need to be sure one or some of the buttons on your remote control unit is not depressed.
  • Your picture is frozen or hung and both  the remote and the buttons on your decoders is not responding: This is also a hardware problem with can be triggered by a software issue. The easiest solution(pray it works though) if to force shutdown your decoder by removing it from the power source and restart it. If it is just a glitch, your decoder will be back to normal.
  • Decoder is switched on but it is not displaying anything only the red standby light is on or you got only “0000″ or “loading” or any sign that the decoder has not booted fully. This can be caused by a software problem in most cases especially bad software upgrade process. However, it can also be caused by hardware fault like bad Integrated circuit(IC).
  • The decoder boots but displayed funny characters or tells you to reset the decoder and you cannot get past the load page: This is 100% Software issue and you need full restore to get your device back. in most cases pc loader restore.

  1. Please if you are using any modern electronic device, you will agree with me that they come with a fragile and delicate chips. Please alway use a “step down” / ups or a good “surge protector” for your devices. I will earnestly advise you use Either ups or stepdown transformer and combine it with a good surge protector.
  2. Secondly, please always disconnected your electronics when you won’t be around for a while especially during raining season when we always have heavy thunder and lightening.
  3. For users of official decoders, please always try and upgrade or accpet to upgrade your decoder when you are sure that you can monitor the upgrade
  4. If you use A power generating set that is fluctuating and unstable, please do not use your fragile electronics with it. Better still use them with a step-down transformer. Also, make sure you avoid using an Automatic voltage regulator popular;y known as stabilisers in Nigeria with any generator that is equal to or below 1500kva.
  5. Guide against  water or any liquid from getting into your electronic devices. When this happens, please shut down the unit completely and disassemble. clean off the liquid with a soft cloth and let the devices to be air-dried. do not place it under direct sunlight and do not use any electronic device that has been submerged or that has accommodated any liquid.
  6. It is pertinent that you do not allow dust to accumulate inside your device. If you allow this to happen, you may be exposing the device to overheating.
  7. When your device is been updated either “OTA” or manually via usb, please do not allow power to go off on it. this is very important as it is the cause of most software problems for electronic devices including smartphones
  8. Please and please, do not connect incompatible external devices to your decoder. Also, do not leave unused external devices connected to your device indefinitely. Finally, do not connect multiple external drives / devices to your decoder simultaneously if they are not useful for the day to day operation of the decoder. E.G some people will connect a hard disk, a usb 3g dongle, a wifi adapter and a lan cable to the same decoder. Why not pick one best internet protocol and let other go since you cannot use everything simultaneously. Also, why leave a storage device connected to your decoder when you ain’t using it?

I already talked about the effect of failing to take care of your devices. now let me go to the solutions. The solutions is under two categories. Hardware repair and software repair.

  1. Solutions to hardware failure or faults. If the hardware problem is one that cannot be solved via a simple restart, you will need the expert to look into it. For branded decoders, please take it to an authorised dealer nearest to you. For standalone decoders, take it to a satellite engineer or a skilled computer hardware engineer.
  2. For Software issues, if the decoder’s menu is still accessible. doing a factory reset from within the decoder’s menu can solve the problem. However, if your device is inaccessible, please you will need a full hard restore which in most cases should be handled for you by engineers. Once again, for any issues on repair on any branded decoder, take it to the dealer.  Let me also quickly had this; if your device is under warranty, please do not tamper with it, take it to the seller for a warranty repair.

  1. Hi Lemmy, Pls I have a peculiar problem with my strong 4902 HD. The sensor in the decoder, I suspect, is weak to the extent dat whn de remote is pressed, it doesn’t respond. The reason I suspect de decoders sensor is dat, I brought a friend’s 4922A to test with my remote n worked whilst it wouldn’t wrk on mine. I’ve even sent it to strong tech official office in GH n dey soldered s’thing on de board but still persists. I don’t know wht to do. Really frustrating, I always hv to use the touch pads on the decoder. Pls help

    • @Richyboo: strong, official team must provide a solution as long as the decoder is genuine. Take it back to them. If you give local engineers and they are unsuccessful in repairing it, you would have voided your warranty. the choice is yours. take it back to strong or got after local prof computer engineers

  2. Please Lemmy, what’s the recommended cband lmb to use for tracking sony packages?

  3. for sport 24 problems use a cband with 150k to 250k working perfectly,coz they have reduced on the signal or wait until they increase the signal quality

  4. Please it true that qusat want to start work?

  5. Am using Q28g. Some stations on Multitv do not give sound no matter de level of volume. Pls I need help

  6. Same here no signal for sport24 hd.

  7. Mohammed Madube says:

    Thank you for the explanation, my old nodal star times decoder ( the White one ), some time showing no signal while it working. please what can I do to solve the problem?.

  8. Kumakech Denis says:

    Pliz someone help is sport hd 24 on the west working

  9. Thank you very much oga Lemmy, my decoder display LNBF. Please what is the way forward

  10. Can azsky work again or can I use it for another tin

  11. my DSTV explorer when watch it loses signal for some time then come back on again, what do you think is the problem.

  12. Ahmad Disa says:

    Good morning. My question is on the issue of stabilizer, most of us are using it on tiger 950 generator, please how could this affect our electronics? Please sir we need more information about this. Thanks.

    • @Ahmad Disa: the truth is that it won’t help your electronics cos that tiger doesn’t even have AVR. Secondly, it is subject to direct fluctuations. Finally, your stabiliser will consume even more than 50% of the rated power of your generator and reduce the generator’s lifespan. My advice, disconnect stabilisers and use step-down transformers and surge protectors. if your electronics is old and doesn’t support stepdown transformer, then use a good surge protector only. Immediately you reconnect to main electricity, you can go back to your stab. if you are using a big generator simply set the voltage to 220v and you won’t need a stabiliser as well.

      • Ahmad Disa says:

        Thanks Oga for this long explanatory, i am using tiger 950 with a stabilizer and the essence for using it is to protect the electronics from un expected high speed of the generator. Now I will look for one of the options. Thanks.

  13. good work sir thank you please any help my sport24H on nss57E the signal is fiuctuating i do bli scaning nothing change i don no, i dier from my end? or is a general problem because he work saturday stop on sunday

  14. Thanks for the explanation. The problem am having with my Qsat 23 decoder is that it always goes off whenever i change the station and i have to wait for some minutes before it will comes up. if i change the station again it will go off again please what is the problem with decoder and what is the solution? Awaiting your reply

Good thing Lashoff is on the first pairing so that he can take a penalty and then horribly blow coverage.

Travel Guide: Jasper National Park

Tuesday, November 24, 2015

Not everyone is lucky enough to live hours away from one of the most beautiful places in the world. I am one of those lucky people and try to visit Jasper as often as possible. I've been a few time in the last 5 years and will share my list of favourite things to check out. Hopefully this list can help make your visit even better!
Walking and Hiking - It's absolutely insane the amount of breathtaking places to see in Jasper. I'm sure we have only just grazed the opportunities. Maligne Canyon is a must see. There are falls and canyons. Stunning. It doesn't have to be super strenuous either. Looking for a bit of a challenge? Sulpher Ridge up at the hot springs has some fantastic look outs too.
Attractions - The Glacier Skywalk is one of the newest things to go see. It's a bit of a drive from the city but totally worth it. Not just for the actual skywalk but for the drive peppered with places to stop and see on the way including two separate falls (Sunwapta and Athabasca). Miette Hot Springs. 4 pools at different temperatures at the top of some beautiful winding roads. Hot pools nestled in the mountains. What else do I need to say?
Food - SO MANY OPTIONS. One for the lover of great sandwiches and keeping some cash in your pocket. As Jasper tends to be on the pricey side. Patricia's Deli. A.MAZE.ING. A local restaurant with great, fresh options and wicked service. Next is Evil Dave's Grill. Great menu selection and always great service.
Sleep - I've stayed multiple places in Jasper and so far my favourite has to be Pine Bungalows. Adorable log cabins, some with fireplaces, steps from the Athabasca River, and minutes from the city. Whistlers Inn has been one of the most fun hotels to stay at because of one thing: ROOF TOP HOT TUBS. In the middle of the city, walking distance to everything, and ROOF TOP HOT TUBS.
Honestly, there could be a whole post on hiking and walking alone but we'll save that for another day when we've added a few more to the list. What are your favourite things to see and do in Jasper?

25 Things To Learn and Do Before You Are 30

Thursday, June 9, 2016

There is something about getting older that makes you reconsider, take a second look and reminiscence over good all times. Late last night I sat in bed thinking about all the insane things I did and few habits I should of broken by age 30. Here are few things to keep in mind to make you early 20’s worth it and few things to outgrow.

1)Learn to budget! (yes it sounds easy; but not all of us do it.) Buy only things you CAN afford. You credit cards & loans do not count as CAN afford.
2)Learn to cook. I remember being on my own at the beginning & half of the take out places recognized my voice and knew my order… this can get very expensive real fast… its also embarrassing.
3)Stop eating in bed! We are now mature adults, there is no need for this.
4)Stop feeling bad/alone/depressed when you see Facebook friends getting married or having kids. Your time will come; it has to.
5)Travel. Travel as often as you can; visit as many different things as you can. Whether its to the mountains or city near by or Europe; Just DO IT! You career, cat, apartment, family will all be there when you get back. (refer back to 4; soon enough you will have a husband and kids and travel gets nearly impossible with toddlers.)
6) STOP the texting/Facebook-ing/IM-ing/Twitter-ing (yes that is a thing) and pick up the phone; call your friends, family. Even better meet for coffee; it takes 30 minutes to an hour & yes you got time for that. No one is that busy.
7)Stop chasing after those unpromising love prospects. You deserve better. He is not going to change and you don’t want him to; get rid of him.
8)Don’t shop when you are hungry.
9)Don’t call them back when you are angry.
10)Don’t make decisions when you are mad/sad.
11)Be diligent. Show up on time for work/dates/whatever. Give yourself enough time to get where you need to be. My ex used to run on EST time (Ethnic Standard Time= which operates in “I’ll be there at 10-ish” that means anywhere from 9:45 to 10:59) and it drove me NUTS.
12)Forgive and Forget. There is no need to stalk your ex’s on social media or gossip about them. Its in the past; Let it go.
13)Do yoga.
14)Read. Put down your Netflix and iTines and read. Read about whatever. Its good for the soul.
15)Say “Please and Thank you”. This seems common sense… its not. Most people will say one or the other or none. Thank those that help you & those you need things from. It goes a long way.
16) Tell people you love them. There is a radio station in Edmonton where the morning show hosts say “Love you” to everyone before they hang up. I think that’s AMAZING. One day you might make enough a difference in someone’s else life by simple “Love you”. I m not saying go start telling strangers you love them; but your main people. Life is too short; make sure they know you love them.
17)De-clutter. This is easily the simples way to cleans your life and add happiness. There is something to be said for simplifying your life that adds joy. You should try it.
18)Return stuff that isn’t yours; We all borrow things & we all know those people who had your things for last 3 years, not fun!
19)Buy good lingerie. Single, dating or married you have no clue what feeling sexy does for your confidence. It also looks very pretty.
20)Remember to dance. Its ok if you have two left feet (I do) but blast the music & jump around, attempt the waltz, break it down like Miley Cirus… whatever. I dance around my house pretty much all the time; if people could see in they would call me crazy, but dance makes your body and soul relax and that’s sometimes all it takes.
21)Stop over drinking. Best part about being and adult is that you are now legal to get booze but people lose sight of moderation. After age of 19 having a 24 hour hangover no longer seems fun or appropriate.
22)Pay your bills on time. You want your credit to start good and be great for rest of your life. Pay your bills on time.
23)Learn how to speak in public. Public speaking is extremely important; Toastmaster is wonderful and it can help you a great deal.
24) Every month do something just for you. You husband can watch the kids; you roommate can take the dog for a walk… have a 2 hour candle lit bath, get your nails done, have a bottle of wine over great dinner at home alone. Sometimes we try so hard to make everyone else happy that we forget about ourselves. If we aren’t happy we probably aren’t doing much for other peoples happiness.
25)Don’t be afraid of change. Yes, sometimes it sucks and its scary but you do it. We will survive and make it work in the long run.

Happy Thursday.

  1. I love them all - I couldn't pick a favorite if I tried! And Happy Birthday!


text: Travelers and R&Q Reinsurance recently settled and agreed to voluntarily dismiss their ongoing dispute in the US District Court for the District of Connecticut. The action arose out of a series of reinsurance contracts between Travelers and R&Q Reinsurance (successor in interest to INA Re). The reinsurance contracts were part of Traveler’s Blanket Excess of Loss program, incepted in 1962, and covered a period between April 1, 1976 through April 1, 1979. The contracts covered asbestos related claims which were indemnified by Travelers. In this action, Travelers filed a Complaint alleging breach of contract, contending that it had properly indemnified an asbestos producer but that INA Re wrongfully had refused to pay in violation of the reinsurance agreements between the parties. Travelers Casualty and Surety, Co. v. R&Q Reinsurance Co., Case No. 10-01946 (USDC D. Conn. Jan. 31, 2012).

How To Show Your Dog You Love Them

How To Show Your Dog You Love Them

Those who read my previous post about dog people, know I was never really a dog person until my Buffy changed the way I see dogs. I was clueless after that. Suddenly I had this fluffy new best friend and I had no idea what to do. He did not understand me and I did not understand him.

Dogs can understand some human language, but it’s more about us showing them by our actions and repeating those actions and words over and over until it clicks.

It’s pointless shouting at them. A dog’s hearing is far more superior than our hearing. You actually need to show them what you want them to do and reward them with lots of praise, treats and their favourite toy

There are many ways to show your dog love. I decided to list a few things that helped build trust with me and my Buffy, how I showed him I love him and how I learnt to understand my dog better.

I am not a dog trainer or dog behaviourist. This is what I used for my own dog that I found helped a lot.

Give your dog affection

Yes, I know some people don’t like touching dogs. But petting your dog for a few seconds is not going to kill you. I didn’t like it either. My human best friend suggested I try it. Best place to touch is under the chin, at the back of head, ears and some like the belly. You know your dog best, so you can see what they prefer.

Play with you dog

Take some time out of your busy day and play with them. Dogs go crazy for a game of fetch. You need to train your dog the "let go" trick or else you will be like me that had to find ways to get the ball from Buffy, because he was a heavy resource guarder.

Train your furry bestie

There are hundreds of YouTube videos on how to train a dog. Kikopup on YouTube is just one example.  There are others but I like how detailed her videos are.

Make sure your dog knows the basic obedience commands. Sit, down, stay, come and heel. After that you can start some fun tricks, like give paw, roll over and whatever else you feel like teaching.

Dogs are really smart. If it looks like he is not listening to you, it could just be you need to take a step back and build up slowly to where he did understand. Remember they learn by repetition and you need to be clear on what you want.

Keep training sessions short. Ten minutes at a time, maybe 2 times a day or else your dog and you will get frustrated. Make it fun and give lots of praise and treats. Buffy prefers small pieces of chicken, cheese and cold meats.

Hand feed your dog

Not his main meals. For main meals I let my dog sit or do the down command before he gets his bowl of food. Hand feeding goes hand in hand with when you’re training or if you just want to build trust.

If you’re scared, try putting the treat in front of the dog. Repeat several times. He will soon see you are the source of nice treats and will start licking your hand, at that point try letting him eat out of you hand.

With my dog, if we are just hanging out I would give him a treat every time he makes eye contact with me when I say his name or he just needs to lie there calmly and wait a few moments for his treat. It teaches him to be patient, also that his name is associated with good things and it strengthens our bond.

Learn your dog’s body language

Dogs have their own language. You can tell by how they move or behave what they are actually saying. When my dog has his tail between legs, head down and licking lips he is really nervous and scared.

That’s happens mostly when it's time for his bath or flea treatment. I’ve learnt to let my dog come to me instead of me invading his space. Dogs like their alone time too.

They will just get frustrated with you if you’re always there wanting to hang out. When my dog is in a mood I would just go sit where he can see me with food and eat in front of him.

One, two, three and he’s there wanting me to share my food with him. Well I was going to share anyways, I always make extra for him.

So these are the things I tried to build trust and love with my dog. I'm sure it will help you show your dog you love them too. You will need a lot of patience. Dogs move at their own pace. Match their pace and that will bring you so much closer to your furry bestie.

What do you want to be?

We recently talked to many parents whose student’s didn’t know what they wanted to be or what major to choose for college.  We found this article with good information about choosing a major. Some “flaws” for which I added my two pennies, but overall a good start in the process of deciding on a career field and major for college.  Enjoy and share! My Two Cents_How to Choose a College Major
