Our New Brand

Today we launch our new brand as Ackermann Marketing & PR.

We’re a more diverse and strategically-focused agency now, and as we have evolved, it was time to change our name and look to better represent more of what we do. We’ve broadened our service offerings at the same time that we’ve built amazing depth in our core competencies, including strategic planning, product marketing, digital strategies, brand identity, and advertising campaigns; all alongside the award-winning public relations services upon which our reputation has been built.

Our new name and look more accurately reflect who we are today and the high-level value we bring to our clients.  The “Ackermann Way” has not changed:

  • Strategy always precedes execution.
  • Our innovative ideas are at the core of our differentiation.
  • Our integrated marketing approach assures one consistent voice, across both traditional and non-traditional marketing channels.
  • We build campaigns and programs that communicate complex ideas in understandable and compelling ways.
  • We have a team of senior-level marketing strategists focused on creating research-driven big ideas that deliver measurable business growth.

The values and philosophy behind our approach and our work remain the same.  It’s strategic, research-based, creative and smart.  But, we’ve also grown and matured into senior-level business advisors.  While we bring fresh perspective and point-of-view to campaigns and marketing programs, our legacy of delivering creative thinking, speedy execution and exceptional client value remains at the heart of who we are.

We hope you enjoy our new brand as much as we do.

Responding to Online Reviews

From the August 2018 Issue of Knox.Biz

We all love social media and the numerous digital tools at our disposal these days . . . except when we don’t!  And one of those times can be when our business receives a very public negative review online.  You can’t always stop it from happening, so what should you do when it does happen?

Online reviews have become increasingly easy – thanks to search engines, mobile apps and the addition of review features onto popular platforms like Facebook.  Even if people first hear of a product through word-of-mouth, they are likely to go online to search for reviews before purchasing it.  Recent research shows that 90% of consumers read reviews before purchasing a product, and 84% of people trust online reviews as much as a personal recommendation.

Make it easy for customers to give you a good review by listing your business on multiple directories (not just Facebook and Yelp).  If you have an online store, place a “feedback” button on the page, so that customers can easily click it and write something positive.  Also, send emails to customers asking if they were happy with the service or product and opening up an actual dialogue with them. If someone tweets positively about your business, retweet it and thank the customer for their thoughts.

Don’t let online reviews scare you!  You can’t please everyone all the time, and balanced reviews can add to the legitimacy and authenticity to your business.  Additionally, consistent, quality responses to your reviews show that you care about your customers.

Here are some specific tips relative to managing online reviews (and managing your response to them):

1. Take responsibility

Whether positive or negative, show that you welcome feedback and that you want to fix any problems.  Always keep your response cordial, professional and non-argumentative.  If the review is particularly negative, it is sometimes appropriate to mention one or two facts to set the record straight, but be careful not to get into an online argument and risk making the customer even angrier.  Tread lightly and take the high road in making your comments.

2. Be proactive, transparent and accountable

Some companies, when hit with harsh feedback, will copy and paste a canned response and then proceed to bury the review deep in Google’s search results.  Others will sulk in the shadows, hoping the nightmare will blow over.  Unfortunately, neither of these approaches typically works. The critics will feel ignored and under-valued, and smart shoppers will be thorough in their research.  It’s best to acknowledge your failure/mistake and address it head-on with proposed solutions.

3. First apologize and then take action

Is there an air of truth to the complaint?  Is it possible that the negative feedback could be legit?  Set your ego aside and make amends by taking responsibility for a customer’s poor experience.  You could even offer a refund, free gift and/or expedited shipping of a replacement product.  (Then, go the extra mile and put an action plan in place that will permanently fix the root cause of the problem.)

4. Seek to understand more

Get the person to communicate with you offline if possible.  Proactively ask them to send you an email, call you or stop by in person, but make an effort to keep the conversation going and to truly understand where the complaint is coming from.

5. Silence at first is not a bad thing

While it’s important to respond to negative reviews promptly, that doesn’t mean hastily (which can result in an overly emotional or unprepared response).  Gather all the information you can on a situation before responding.

Online reviews are here to stay, so take them seriously, respond to them positively, and learn from them as you proactively manage them.

Bowland Wedding at Robert Carr Chapel

We were thrilled when Courtney reached out to us to photograph her wedding.  We go to the same church, and it was fun to see so many people we know at her wedding!  Courtney and Blake got married at the gorgeous Robert Carr Chapel located on the TCU campus. We love this chapel because the inside, as you can see, is just beautiful.  Courtney got ready at the Embassy in Downtown Fort Worth.  Their reception was at the Red Oak Ballroom, also located in Downtown Fort Worth.

We’d love to be a part of your special day! If you have a wedding (or any event) coming up where you will need still photography, videography, or a photo booth contact us for more details.

Murphy Wedding at the Dallas Arboretum

Katrina and Colten got married at the beautiful Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens.  We love the Arboretum’s manicured lawns and pretty flowers.  It makes such a gorgeous natural backdrop for a wedding.  Katrina and Colten have such fun personalities and getting to know them was a pleasure.  The vows they wrote to each other were full of fun quirky statements that made us laugh.  At the reception, their families were on the dance floor (especially Katrina’s!) until the very end.  This was such a fun wedding to film, and we are so glad they picked us to capture it!

Healthy Buckwheat Pancakes

These are a favorite weekend treat in our house, a perfect mid-morning snack with a nice warm cuppa.

I like to make these in mini form because they’re much easier to flip, and I try to dole them out five or six at a time.

Stack em high y’all, stack em high!

Buckwheat is a powerhouse of goodness in comparison to regular flour. It contains fibre, protein and magnesium…so yes these pancakes will do your body good!

Serves: 18 – 20 mini pancakes

  • 1 cup of buckwheat flour
  • pinch of Himalayan salt/sea salt
  • 1 cup of almond milk
  • 1/2 a banana
  • 1 tablespoon of honey/agave/maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon of butter/coconut oil/tahini
  • Butter/coconut oil to fry

  1. Blitz all the ingredients together with a hand blender/blender or bullet.      A whisk will do the job just fine too, just make sure the mixture is nice and smooth.
  2. Heat about a teaspoon of coconut oil/butter in a large frying pan and give it an even swirl.
  3. When the pan is hot, start dropping about a tablespoon of mixture onto the pan. I usually fit about six or seven at a time. When you see bubbles forming on top of the pancakes, flip them over with a spatula.
  4. Don’t allow your pan to get too hot, or the pancakes will start to burn! Once you have the first batch done, turn down the heat to medium.
  5. For every batch, add about 1/4 teaspoon more oil/butter. I do find coconut particularly good for buckwheat pancakes because it doesn’t burn.

Serving suggestion:

Top your pancakes with some fruit, a drizzle of honey and whatever else you desire. My usual (pictured) always has some bee pollen, chia seeds and cacao nibs.

Be as creative as you desire.

Americans largely disapprove of the way Hillary Clinton has handled the controversy around her private email address, according to a new Washington Post/ABC News poll that shows the Democratic frontrunner’s support dropping significantly within her party over the two months.

The poll illustrates the challenges the Clinton campaign has faced in controlling the narrative around her use of a private email server during her time as Secretary of State. Some 55% of Americans disapprove of the way Hillary Clinton has handled questions about her use of private email, and 51% say Clinton broke government regulations in her use of private email. Fully 54% say that she tried to cover up the facts.

It’s unclear, however, whether the email issue will persist into 2016 and hurt her if she is chosen to represent the Democrats in the general election: fewer than half of Americans think it is a legitimate issue in the presidential election, according to the poll. And Clinton still holds a commanding lead in the nominating contest: 42% of Democratic-leaning voters support Clinton, compared with 24% supporting second place Bernie Sanders.

But a summer dominated by headlines about the email controversy has impacted her bid for the nomination. Her support among Democrats has dropped 21 points since July.

Clinton did not break any rules by emailing work-related information from a private account, as the rules that restrict that practice were enacted in 2014, after Clinton left the administration. It is illegal to intentionally transmit classified information on unsecured channels, and some of the emails Clinton sent from her server have since been marked classified.

But none so far have been found to be marked classified at the time they were sent, which Clinton has repeatedly noted. Yet questions remain about the content of emails she deleted from the server before handing it over to the State Department. Clinton has apologized for using a private email address as Secretary of State, and her campaign has sought to shift its tone and carefully explain the details of a complicated issue to the public.

The poll was conducted among a national sample of 1,003 adults using both landline and cellphones, and has an overall margin of error of +/-3.5 percentage points.

Food insecurity common among seniors

Food insecurity common among seniors

According to a survey conducted by Feeding America, a nationwide organization with more than 200 food banks, 1 in 12 people age 60 or older are “food insecure” , which is about five million older Americans.

Food insecurity – a lack of consistent access to a minimum amount of nutrition to sustain a healthy and active life –  is a huge issue for many older Americans, according a report by Feeding America, a nationwide organization with more than 200 food banks.

According to the organization’s survey, one in 12 people age 60 or older are “food insecure” –  that’s about five million older Americans. In 2017, the U.S. government estimated that almost 12 percent of all U.S. households were food insecure at least some time during the year.

Feeding America found that seniors who struggle with hunger are more likely to experience depression, asthma and other chronic health conditions.

Luckily, there is help in the Coweta community to help seniors combat hunger and the scarcity of food.

In addition to social and educational programs, the Tommy Thompson Senior Center in Newnan provides meals for participating seniors, both in-house and in residents’ homes.

Senior Nutrition Programs are part of the continuum of care designed to support independent living of older adults, according to Amy Epperson, senior director.

In a previous Newnan Times-Herald interview, Epperson said the center has a Congregate and Home-Delivered Meals Program, which comply with the current dietary guidelines for Americans. The meals provide a minimum of 33⅓ percent of the current daily dietary reference intakes, as established by the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences, which is published by the secretaries of the Department of Health and Human Services and U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Congregate Meals Programs

The Congregate Meals Program provides lunch every day for a suggested donation of $2, but Epperson said any amount is appreciated if the senior is able to donate.

“We never turn anyone away if they can’t donate and it’s not a requirement,” she said. “It's a great way to not only get a good meal, but to meet other seniors and participate in different activities as well.”

Participants must be 60 years of age or older to receive a meal.

“The balanced meal and social contact provide a positive motivation for self-care for seniors who often eat poorly on their own and can become lonely and depressed in isolation,” Epperson said. “The nutrition program is more than just a meal. It also nourishes the person as a whole.”

Home-delivered meals

The center also has a home-delivery meal service for individuals who have more health problems than congregate participants or are not able to make it to the center. The center director said many of the homebound recipients may have short or long-term health problems. Recipients must reside in Coweta.

“This program can provide nutritional support through the delivery of one meal per day and, in some cases, liquid nutritional supplements,” she said. “The meals are delivered by a team of dedicated volunteers who deliver much more than a meal. Quite often, our volunteers provide the only social contact a homebound senior may receive. Each visit ensures the well-being of the recipient so they can continue to live independently in their own home.”

Epperson said the service can be temporary. Meals for both programs are prepared at the Heard County Senior Center and are delivered hot to the Tommy Thompson Center.

Epperson said more volunteers are needed for the home-delivery program.

“The more volunteers we have, the more area we can cover and we can serve more people,” Epperson said. “Volunteers usually have between and five and 10 deliveries, depending on their route. Meals are usually ready to be picked up between 10:30 and 11:00 a.m. and routes can take take about an hour.”

Epperson said the schedule and number of deliveries is decided by the volunteer. There are no minimum requirements. Businesses may also volunteer to deliver meals.

For more information or to volunteer, contact the center at 770-683-8600.

Meals on Wheels

Meals on Wheels of Coweta delivers meals to qualified homebound senior citizens. Depending on location, seniors may receive weekday delivery of hot meals, or a weekly delivery of frozen meals. For more information call Meals on Wheels of Coweta at 678-423-1700.

Other findings from Feeding America research include:

  • Sixty-three percent of older adult households served by the Feeding America network “are forced to choose between food and medical care.”
  • For clients whose households include an adult age 50 or over, there is significantly higher prevalence of diabetes and high blood pressure, “conditions that can be mitigated by healthy food options.”

Going to the Dogs

Many libraries have started programs using pet therapy dogs that children can practice their reading skills with. We have been doing a weekly Read to Rover program here for quite a few years with our local Humane Society's pet therapy program. The sessions usually run for three months or four months. (Sept-Nov. and Jan- April).  The reading slots are 15 minutes long and we have 3-4 dogs on blankets their owners bring. We ask parents to sign a waiver for each new child who begins the program that exempts the library from any liability. Our Humane Society coordinator is incredible. She makes bookmarks of the dogs to give to the readers and is there every week with the dogs and owners and is a gentle ambassador for the dogs.

After three years, when program participation began to flag, we started kicking off each three month season with a BIG program that included a "Meet and Greet" with the dogs that really rekindled interest. Then, quite by accident since it was the only open program slot we had, our Hedgehog Librarian started a very popular 4-7 year old storytime that immediately preceded the dog program and our slots have been jammed since. It was a perfect marriage of a literacy program supporting beginning readers followed by a program that supported their reading skills.  Win-win!

The kids have been thrilled.  They love their furry listeners and the dogs love the kids (they barely give our librarians a glance when they prance in - they know who does the reading they love).  Kids with hesitations, low self- esteem or other issues that impact their confidence in their reading skills get a non-judgemental ear and a definite boost.  It has been a special literacy program and we are glad we can do it!

Don't Fear the Reaper - Demystifying Common Core

With the adoption of Common Core State Standards in the vast majority of states, youth librarians are looking at and thinking hard about the impact for public libraries of this sweeping educational change.  The trepidation some feel is palpable. Do we need to change our approach, our collections, or the manner in which we work with our schools and families?

While I don't have all the answers, I am fairly sanguine about this educational change.  I have been working through various reading paradigms (Reading Recovery! Fountas and Pinnell! Lexile Levels!) throughout my career. I have adapted to whatever my local districts have adopted - I figure it's my job to connect kids and books and that's what I do with a joy and with a vengeance.

Not for me the intricate educationalese. I am the big picture person at the public library that listens to the query and the quest and provides just the right resources for the seeker. CCSS is no different in my opinion.

I took part in an unconference focus group on CCSS at the SLJ Think Tank on April 5 in New York. I was reassured in my thoughts during that hour. This group discussed what CCSS means to public libraries and came up with a helpful array of visions, solutions and ideas to help us navigate through the sea change.

My take-aways?
  • As public librarians, while we need to be aware of the standards, we do not necessarily have to KNOW the standards to be effective in our reader's advisory and recommendations.
  • As a corollary, public libraries don't need to be schools or function on that level to support CCSS. We are and remain an access point for materials.
  • We are children's literature experts and, as such, can connect kids and school staff with great fiction and non-fiction books on multiple subjects and levels.
  • Don't get lost in lists of exemplars and booklists that are part of CCSS support materials. Often these titles are outdated and there as examples rather than a guide for purchase.
  • If you have been developing an excellent information collection that has strong narrative or literary non-fiction (think of many excellent and award winning nonfiction by authors like Freedman, Adler, Sheinkin, Kerley, Sayre and more), you are ready.
  • If your non-fiction collection is weak, make the case in light of CCSS for increased budget money to strengthen it.
  • Communication with local schools to be aware of changes in assignments for grade levels (for instance, biography taught in 2nd grade rather than 5th grade; space science addressed in 3th grade rather than 4th grade) helps with collection building to meet the needs of community kids. If you can't get the information from busy librarian/classroom staff, reach out to the Director of Curriculum to update you.
  • Support of school media colleagues and school staff can be as simple as keeping dialog open and asking your colleagues how you can support them.
  • Seek out collaborative learning opportunities with your school colleagues or ask to attend some of their meetings to bring you up to speed.
  • Consider STEAM and STEM programs that connect kids to amazing non-fiction that opens up the wonder of these books. It connects you to Common Core in a fun way. Abby Johnson wrote an American Libraries column on this and Amy Koester at the Show-Me Librarian has been blogging about outstanding science programs for some time.
  • Look at Mary Ann Cappiello's Teaching with Text Sets for another perspective on how CCSS is approached.
I find myself excited about the change and the focus on literary non-fiction, a type of book I hold deep and abiding respect for.  I don't fear the reaper.  How about you?

Jesus said that when we love others
like he loves us it is one of the sure signs that we
truly belong to him.

Phantom Melodies

Phantom Melodies focusses on a central problem in my work, namely how can the complexity, the richness, the stratification of our sonic environment (ie. sonic world) be used/presented/translated to something that can be experienced by a viewer/listener.

Phantom Melodies is an installation with a number of self-constructed rotating speakers, each producing a specific stream of sounds. The speakers are placed in a space where the public can walk about freely. The installation is playing in a constant loop: as a result it is perceived as a constantly shifting soundfield.

This work  is embedded around an ongoing research in dynamic sound diffusion: can sound be detached by its source with movement, psychoacoustics and reflections?

Furthermore, the emphasis in this work is not so much a shared experience (for example a concert), but much more, the individual perception, mainly because sounds will be constantly different depending on the listeners location. The sonic experience modifies in time (cfr. the linear composition). But even more important: it shifts according to the listeners position. This work has the aim to trigger perceptive mechanisms and theirfor challenges different listening modes. The installation will find it’s meaning when the individual chooses to participate and/or if he takes a position.

This work includes a performance. Where the performers play with speed and rotation direction. Actually minimal changes in rotation and direction has alot of impact on the perceived sounds. Tuning the speakers speeds and rotation is a core element of the performance.

The composition in Phantom Melodies is a 6 channel work (5 rotating speakers + 1 subwoofer). Sounds for the installation are a combination of filtered tones and field recordings gathered in the Amazon forest in Brazil. This was done during a 2 weeks sound workshop at the Mamori Lake. All the speakers are individually rotating. Speed and direction is altered in relation to the composition. This is a dynamic work, mostly because of the form (rotation) and content (composition) of the work. It is important to realise that it is more the rotation and directional movements that crafts the composition than inversely a fixed composition is altered because of the dynamic movements.

The self built speakers are (except from it’s heavy base) very light and delicate and are placed on a rotating stand. The speaker element consists two full range tweeters. Every speaker has a (silent) motor with adjustable speed and rotating direction (driven by a computer). The height of the speakers can also vary (more or less on ear height). The subwoofer serves as a static source of sound, an auditive and fixed counterweight to the rotating speakers.

Experts explain how a penis changes in size, appearance, and sexual function as a man ages.

By David Freeman

It’s no secret that a man’s sexual function declines with age. As his testosterone level falls, it takes more to arouse him. Once aroused, he takes longer to get an erection and to achieve orgasm and, following orgasm, to become aroused again. Age brings marked declines in semen volume and sperm quality. Erectile dysfunction (ED), or impotence, is clearly linked to advancing years; between the ages of 40 and 70, the percentage of potent men falls from 60% to roughly 30%, studies show.

Men also experience a gradual decline in urinary function. Studies show that a man’s urine stream weakens over time, the consequence of weakened bladder muscles and, in many cases, prostate enlargement.

And that’s not all. Recent research confirms what men have long suspected and, in some cases, feared: that the penis itself undergoes significant changes as a man moves from his sexual prime — around age 30 for most guys — into middle age and on to his dotage. These changes include:

Appearance. There are two major changes. The head of the penis (glans) gradually loses its purplish color, the result of reduced blood flow. And there is a slow loss of pubic hair. “As testosterone wanes, the penis gradually reverts to its prepubertal, mostly hairless, state,” says Irwin Goldstein, MD, director of sexual medicine at Alvarado Hospital in San Diego and editor-in-chief of The Journal of Sexual Medicine.

Penis Size. Weight gain is common as men grow older. As fat accumulates on the lower abdomen, the apparent size of the penis changes. “A large prepubic fat pad makes the penile shaft look shorter,” says Ira Sharlip, MD, clinical professor of urology at the University of California, San Francisco.

“In some cases, abdominal fat all but buries the penis,” says Ronald Tamler, MD, PhD, co-director of the Men’s Health Program at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. “One way I motivate my overweight patients is by telling them that they can appear to gain up to an inch in size simply by losing weight.”

In addition to this apparent shrinkage (which is reversible) the penis tends to undergo an actual (and irreversible) reduction in size. The reduction — in both length and thickness — typically isn’t dramatic but may be noticeable. “If a man’s erect penis is 6 inches long when he is in his 30s, it might be 5 or 5-and-a-half inches when he reaches his 60s or 70s,” says Goldstein.

What causes the penis to shrink? At least two mechanisms are involved, experts say. One is the slow deposition of fatty substances (plaques) inside tiny arteries in the penis, which impairs blood flow to the organ. This process, known as atherosclerosis, is the same one that contributes to blockages inside the coronary arteries — a leading cause of heart attack.

The Cheapest Seedbox I Ever Use

I was searching for a cheap seedbox service. I was looking for both ready-to-use seedboxes and VPS’es.

Not only cheap, but they also need to have big storage space.

I learnt that VPS was not an option because VPS usually come with small SSD or expensive for big HDD storage and not even big enough for my need.

I kept looking for cheap seedboxes and found a few candidates.

Out of them, I decided to go for PulsedMedia. If you search PulsedMedia, you’ll see people were complaining about this service. I don’t care. What important is my own experience.

They do offer free seedbox to try. Sadly, it is not really free. I have to pay 0.20 EUR (or 0.23 USD) to try the service. According to them, this is done to counter abusive users using VPN and proxies to claim the free seedboxes more than one.

They free seedbox was slow and not so good and of course they had mentioned about that in the first place.

Next day I tried their cheapest plan – Value250 Series. From the 4 options available I chose the second one with 900GB storage for 8.16 USD per month.

The download and upload speed is capped at 12MBPS and 30MBPS respectively. Not a big problem for me because the seedbox is for long term seeding and not for building buffer. After all, I am using a budget seedbox, I am not going to expect unlimited down/up speed with the amount I paid.

After second month (after first renew). I cancelled the service and opted-in for the 4th option – 2700GB storage for 12.80 USD per month. The reason is I need more space.

After half year of usage. I still retain this box. Other than capped speed I don’t have any other problems.

This box as well as all other PulsedMedia seedboxes, I can fill the storage above the allocated limit up to 7 days.

The best thing is, every time I renew the box, I will get extra storage. Currently, I accumulated 272GB, not much but it’s free. But it doesn’t guaranteed and might not last forever.

When one my PT sites I joined did a global freeleech event last Christmas/year-end, I did a mistake of renting another one to build a buffer. It was a total mistake.

First, the download speed is slow, I need high download speed to quickly download as much data as possible to upload to the other leechers thus building a high buffer.

Second, the upload speed is slow to thus limiting the amount of data can be uploaded.

In short, my choice to use PulsedMedia as my original intention for long term seeding is correct but to build a buffer with this box was a mistake. It not a fatal mistake though, since it was a global freeleech, my download amount did not change. It just the upload amount is not so great.

In summary, the box I currently use (Value250 L) is good for me because:

  • For long term seeding – especially for less popular content but I like it so much, it more likely the torrent will die soon, so I’ll help keep it alive.
  • Limited internet – don’t want to waste data by uploading.
  • Very slow internet speed.
  • To pass the hit-n-run rule requirement – so I don’t have to worry to turn off my PC
  • To grab and store on the seedbox first before the torrents die (for unpopular stuffs) and only transfer to PC when I want to use it.

The monthly subscription for Value250 L I paid is 12.80 USD (converted price, actual price is 10.99 EUR). It was 11.99 EUR and recently they changed the price to 19.99 EUR (as of this post).

Pricing back when I subscribed to the Value250 S.

Now it looks like only me and existing users enjoying the cheap price. New users have to pay more. But you can go to PulsedMedia website to check the other plans, compare with other providers and see if they are still the cheapest.

New WordPress Editor Looks Amazing

I haven’t write for any of my blogs since a while. In the meantime WordPress had updated their editor to a new different design and the new WordPress editor looks amazing.

I am not a fan of WordPress or Blogger WYSIWYG editor for whatever reasons. I always choose text editor over the other one.

But now, this new editor looks neat and simple. I fell in love with this.

The new WordPress editor
This is how it was previously

Too bad I’m not going to use it regularly since I occasionally write anything for my blogs.

My Blog Is Back

My blog is back after being blacklisted by search engine and/or most of web browsers.

I had abandoned this blog since a while and I did not aware what happened to my blog.

Until one day I tried to access this blog but Google Chrome refuse to open it and instead showed me a warning that the blog is dangerous.

Deceptive site ahead – Google Chrome
Deceptive site ahead – Mozilla Firefox
Deceptive site ahead – Google Chrome (Android)

While Chrome, Firefox and Android browser bloack me from accesing this site, Opera, Internet Explorer and Edge open this blog without any warning. But why only select browsers?

Opera opens this blog without any issue

From the warning messages, I get the idea that my blog is trying to collect credit cards detail while my blog is not secure (no HTTPS) but that ridiculous. This blog is not a shopping site and not even once this blog request any CC detail.

I tried to whilelist this blog again but I never had the determination to do so towards this abandoned blog.

Finally, the blacklist revamped by its own.

My hosting provider , NetKL had a problem with DDoS Attacks thus forcing them to migrate affected customers’ sites to a new server. With the server migration, finally this problem was solved on its own without my intervention. Lucky for me!

So now I can continue posting random “sheets” on this blog again.

After my blog was blacklisted, I did a clean install of WordPress and this is my first post after the clean install. Whatever posts preceded this one was restored from backup.

The role of nuclear power in a post-Fukushima world

This piece was written in the aftermath of Fukushima.

Some people may find the current spat between Guardian eco-warriors’ Monbiot and Vidal, entertaining. I doubt that I am alone in finding it both distracting and somewhat offensive. I take considerable objection to Monbiot’s use of the royal ‘we’ to apologise on behalf of a ‘movement’ to whose leadership he has appointed himself.

A very large number of people are opposed to the further development of nuclear power on a very wide range of grounds. As citizens in a democracy they are entitled to choose whatever grounds they wish. Nor is there any compulsion for those grounds to be scientific: opposition on the grounds of morality, economics or simply taste, are all permissible.

If Monbiot has made erroneous claims about the health impacts of radiation he is right to apologise. But he must do so on his own behalf not on behalf of a wider ‘movement’ which he has not consulted on either his past or current opinions.

More substantively, the discussion on the health impacts of Chernobyl is a distraction from the more important matter of the significance of the events at Fukushima. I am not sure that there will ever be a universally accepted ‘scientific’ conclusion about the health effects of Chernobyl. There is, after all, still debate about the effects of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

But as has been repeatedly pointed out, Fukushima is not Chernobyl and the issue of it’s implications for the future of energy and climate policy cannot be reduced to some morbid calculus of casualties. We do not determine transport policy options simply by comparing the number of deaths each mode generates no matter how important we think human life to be.

In any case, the event at Fukushima is not over yet and may not be for months to come. Even so, it’s impact on human well being is already large. As many as 200,000 people face the prospect of never being able to return to their homes. TEPCO has lost 80% of its value destroying the savings of a great many people.  Millions more in Japan are understandably anxious about the possible impacts of what will be for some time an uncertain exposure of their children to radiation. Many others, well beyond Japan, are worried about the impact of the loss of electricity on their jobs.

There is now a growing debate around the world about the future role of nuclear power in resolving the energy-climate security dilemma. This is an important discussion that will deal with a huge range of issues from nuclear weapons proliferation to the building of public confidence in regulatory institutions. The risks to health of radioactivity, whether routine or accidentally caused, will,quite properly, play a part in this debate. But not a very big one.

Hammerfall: "Built to Last"

As the regular writer on TONEwood is obviously way too busy listening to tapes, sewing on limited edition patches and doing other trve metal stuff, and not having the golden hair it takes, I was given the opportunity to write a review of the new Hammerfall album Built to Last and – if you’re already a fan of Hammerfall – you are in for an absolute treat!

Even though you definitely are in for a treat, the album actually starts off pretty weak. With what is in my opinion the weakest song on the album Bring It!. It’s not bad, but something about the chorus annoys me. I think that it is the otherwise great songwriting of the opener being abruptly canceled by an almost staccato-ish chorus. Let’s wait and see how the song fares live, as it will probably work better live. Give it a listen and judge for yourself. The album only gets better from here.

The following songs will be familiar to fans of Hammerfall as they have already been released as singles. Both Hammer High and The Sacred Vow are very great songs with good songwriting and are very anthem like, and they are sure to make various festival crowds sing along this summer. Especially Hammer High is a very powerful anthem written from the familiar Hammerfall template fans know and love. The Sacred Vow is very similar to Hector’s Hymn and is destined to become an instant Hammerfall classic. It even pays homage to older Hammerfall songs which I think is quite nice. It is simple, easy and accessible yet still great and gives a feeling of heavy metal unity. Now that we’re already holding our hammers high let’s soldier on to Dethrone and Defy which speeds up the album!

Dethrone and Defy is a riff-driven song powered with great solos by Oscar Dronjak. The riffs are powerful without getting too cheesy, which is not always an easy task. From speed and riffs the album gets slow and pretty. Twilight Princess starts out beautifully with acoustic guitars and the powerful voice of Joacim Cans. The song builds into an equally beautiful and almost sad ballad which could remind the listener of the classics Remember Yesterday and Always Will Be. Striking and moving!

And now, let’s fight some dragons. Stormbreaker is the quintessential song on every power metal album about slaughtering dragons. The song is really good and very catchy so I’ll let the cliché slip this one time. The song is again written after the Hammerfall template and contains good riffs and a sped-up chorus.

And now, as the 7th song on the album comes the title track Built to Last. The song is in a hurry as it soon becomes clear that Hammerfall wants you to shake your head while shouting: “Built to Last”! together with the rest of the band singing choir transforming the listener into a true Templar of Steel. So, hold your hammer up high and become a Templar with the band and sing along. You literally cannot do anything else.

Next song becomes a bit more generic. The Star of Home is an okay power metal song but it is really nothing special. The great melodies do pull up the song a great deal though and turns it from random filler into something worth listening to.

And now for an intermezzo with Accept. Jokes aside this song really does pay its homage to Accept while promoting and praising the heavy metal scene in general.  New Breed is a song about heavy metal and those who play it. The message of this song is beautiful. New bands, old bands and fans of any and every age can all agree that metal runs through our veins. This is what makes our community special and Hammerfall knows this.

Last song of the album, Second to None, is probably the most epic of all the songs. A great way to end the album. Being keyboard driven together with Cans’ voice it builds up from ballad but becomes darker throughout the song.  It’s a beautiful song where music and the songwriting at some points hits that sweet spot in power metal where even a walk with your dog turns into an epic quest.

Hammerfall’s Built to Last is a journey back to the old sound of the band. The band rises up from the ashes of a fallen Bushido and reclaims the known and loved Hammerfall sound. This is a very good Hammerfall album and indeed their best in many years. I presume and hope that this album will be picked up by both old and new fans, and I look forward to this summer’s festival season where Hammerfall hopefully tours the album. I’ll definitely grab my sword and shield and join the Templars’ heavy metal crusade.

Six Questions With British Science Fiction Author Gareth L. Powell: “Life’s better when we help each other.”

Gareth L. Powell

It’s tempting to call British writer Gareth L. Powell a rising star in the science fiction genre, but he’s been around and publishing for some two decades. Still, it’s safe to say his just released novel, EMBERS OF WAR, has catapulted him into higher spheres. His work has been compared to famed SF author and fellow Brit Iain Banks. One of the hardest working writers on the Scepter’d Isle, Powell’s ‘Embers’ is flying off the shelves at Warp Factor 9.

It’s his sixth novel. His first published book was the 2008 collection of short stories, The Last Reef and Other Stories.

So here is a six-question lightening round with the Bristol-based author GARETH L. POWELL:

KEN: Your just-released space opera epic, Embers of War, seems to be more than an ember on the science fiction market — it’s on fire with readers. One of the main characters is a sentient spacecraft that is dealing with guilt form the role it played in a brutal galactic war. I heard through the grapevine (okay, it was Twitter) that one of your inspirations for your new novel was an exhibit called “The Golden Age of Luxury Liners.” Is that true, or shouldn’t I believe everything I read on Twitter?

GLP: That’s actually true. It was while reading about the Carpathian coming to the rescue of the Titanic that I conceived the idea of an organisation dedicated to rescuing the crews from wrecked starships.

KEN: Let’s say that you ascended a mountain and confronted a burning bush. Through this medium the God of Science Fiction gave you the 10 Commandments of Science Fiction. What would be the first three commandments etched into your stone tablet, and please begin your responses with “Thou shalt …”

GLP: There is only one commandment, and that is: ‘Thou shalt not bore the reader.’ Everything else is up for negotiation. There are no hard and fast rules for science fiction. When you have the whole of time and space as your canvas, you have an almost infinite number of ways you can tell your story.

KEN: Obviously, the U.K. has produced some of the greatest science fiction writers – Arthur Clarke, Brian Aldiss, H.G. Wells, China Miéville. Iain Banks, Malorie Blackman, Nicola Griffith, Nick Harkaway to name just a few — as a British author, do you find any advantages or disadvantages of writing under the shadow of a waving Union Jack? I know one of your novels was a finalist for a best translated award in Japan. But, for example, do you have concerns about gaining traction in, say, U.S. markets? I guess what I’m trying to ask is: Is there anywhere that the sun sets in a challenging way on the Brit Lit empire?

Powell’s 2013 alternate history novel, Ack-Ack Macaque, won the British Science Fiction Association (BSFA) Award for Best Novel.

GLP: British science fiction has always been a powerhouse of imaginative thought, and I’m proud to be part of that tradition. However, I don’t write as a self-consciously “British” author. I’m writing stories for anyone who wishes to read them. That said, I’m not as well known in the U.S. as I am in the UK, but I’m hoping my new novel EMBERS OF WAR will start to change that.

KEN: Science fiction great Ray Bradbury kept a sign on his writing desk that said, “DON’T THINK!” Do you have a sign on your desk? If you don’t, what might such a sign say in terms of some fundamental writing advice to yourself?

GLP: I have a note pinned to the cork board above my monitor that says, “Be specific.” This is to remind me that I should try to find the specific, relevant details in a scene. So, rather than just say the dead body smelled, I should try to describe exactly how it smelled. Or rather than saying one character has brown hair, I should say they have hair the exact colour of strong tea before the milk is added. These details make the writing more vivid.

KEN: You have a robust Twitter presence and a lot of followers that interact with you enthusiastically. How do you find the time to work your Twitter so much?  You also offer to answer writing questions to all comers. I know a lot of writers decry Twitter as a distraction, maybe a necessary evil and frequent challenge to one’s writing discipline.

GLP: I probably spend far too much time on Twitter, but I enjoy interacting with readers and fellow writers. The science fiction writing and publishing community (especially in the UK) is quite a tight knit community. If you’ve been around a while, you tend to know a lot of people from it. So for me, Twitter is like hanging out in a convention bar, talking with friends and peers. Plus, I remember being a fledgling author, and the lessons I had to learn the hard way. So if I can help those aspiring writers just starting out now, I’m glad to pass on the fruits of that experience. Life’s better when we help each other.

KEN: The great French writer Gustave Flaubert said, “Writing is a dog’s life, but the only life worth living.” What do you think?

GLP: Writing is an emotional and financial roller coaster, but it’s all I’ve wanted to do.

  • SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SAP EWM) is a complete, modern warehouse management system (WMS) with best-of-breed functionality that has received acclaim from media, analysts and customers alike. SAP EWM is SAP’s solution for the storage and fulfillment needs of medium and high complexity warehouses. SAP EWM can help you gain more control over your warehousing processes and provide you with the tools needed to improve your warehouse efficiency, transform your operations, and increase your competitiveness while lowering your total cost of ownership.
  • Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) offers you flexible, automated support for processing various goods movements and for managing stocks in your warehouse complex. The system supports planned and efficient processing of all logistics processes in our warehouse.
  • SAP EWM is an integral part of the SAP Supply Chain Management (SAP SCM) application, addressing advanced warehouse management functions and processes. It supports:
  • Higher process and stock visibility
  • Better planning of warehouse operations
  • Highly efficient operation of distribution and storage processes
  • EWM gives you the option of mapping your entire warehouse complex in detail in the system, down to storage bin level. Not only do you gain an overview of the entire quantity of a material in the warehouse, you can also always determine exactly where a certain material currently is in your warehouse complex. With EWM, you can optimize the use of various storage bins and stock movements, and can store together material stocks from several plants in random storage areas. Using EWM, you can control and optimize various processes in the warehouse
  • Integration
  • EWM is completely integrated into Inventory Management and Delivery Processing. Business processes, which you trigger in other application components, lead to physical goods movements in your warehouse. You organize, control, and monitor these goods movements using EWM.
  • Features
  • Storage Bin Management and Optimization
  • To map the entirety of your storage facilities in Extended Warehouse Management. You can set up different storage facilities such as automatic warehouses, high-rack storage areas, bulk storage areas, or fixed bin warehouses, in various storage types, according to your requirements.
  • To manage material stocks at storage bin level. You can define these storage bins according to your own requirements. Every storage bin in your warehouse is mapped in the system. This enables you to constantly track all stock movements in detail. You can see exactly where a specific product is located in your warehouse. You can also use EWM to optimize storage bin management, since EWM takes on a large part of optimizing the products so that each product is assigned to the correct storage bin, depending on its size and frequency of access.
  • Inventory Management and Extended Warehouse Management are fully integrated. Using the physical inventory procedures and the entry of stock differences, the system ensures that the book inventory balance in Inventory Management always matches the warehouse stock in EWM.
  • Goods Movements
  • To process all goods movements that affect your warehouse using EWM, such as goods receipts, goods issues, stock transfers, and automatic replenishment. Other movements can include management of dangerous goods, layout- and process-oriented storage control, effective work preparation using automatic wave pick creation, resource optimization using rule-based bundling of warehouse tasks, or processing of inventory differences in your warehouse.
  • EWM optimizes warehouse capacities and material flows using putaway and stock removal strategies that you can adjust to your needs, or by you using handling units.
  • Work Center
  • You can use the work center to map a physical unit in the warehouse, which you use to carry out warehouse activities such as packing, deconsolidation, weighing, quality inspections, and counting. You can personalize each work center, so that each user sees exactly those fields, data, and tab pages that are necessary for his or her work.
  • Physical Inventory
  • You use physical inventory to regularly perform a physical stock take in your warehouse. You compare the actual, existing, physical, material stock with the data managed in EWM. By entering physical inventory differences, you update the accounting data for the stock, according to the results of the physical stock take. If you perform a physical inventory at least once in a fiscal year for each storage bin/each product, the physical inventory is classed as complete.
  • If you use EWM, the physical inventory is performed at Warehouse Management level. You can perform a physical inventory based on products and/or based on storage bins. There is a difference monitor available, with configurable tolerance groups, which you can use to define maximum values for posting differences for each user. In addition, the system supports automatic posting according to time intervals, different priorities for each individual inventory procedure, a zero stock check, and a low stock check. The RF functions are integrated into the physical inventory and support you when you perform the different physical inventory procedures, such as cycle counting, physical inventory during putaway, and physical inventory using zero stock check. Handling units are fully integrated into the physical inventory process.
  • Planning and Monitoring
  • EWM gives you an overview of all goods movements and warehouse stocks. The system supports you in planning, monitoring, and optimizing work processes. For example, it gives you a preview of the workloads for the coming days, or enables you to take preventive action in critical warehouse processes, so that you can perform stock movements on time. The extensive monitoring functions give you a current view of all activities in the warehouse. You can control the actual work in the warehouse using the individual monitors.
  • Radio Frequency Connection
  • To structure the work in the warehouse efficiently and cost-effectively, you control the warehouse workers’ work steps clearly and simply via mobile radio-frequency terminals.
  • The radio frequency connection (RF connection) to mobile data entry achieves fast and accurate data transfer. The RF machines receive data directly from the SAP system and transfer data back to the system. You can enter and verify information using bar codes. This means that you ensure a high standard of quality in your warehouse.
  • Warehouse Control
  • EWM also contains an interface to external systems (warehouse control units), so that you can integrate automated putaway and stock removal systems, or forklift control systems, for all stock movements using this ALE interface in the Warehouse Management System.
  • The warehouse structure in Warehouse Management is divided hierarchically, and consists of the following elements:
  • Warehouse Number
  • In EWM, you can manage an entire physical warehouse complex using a single warehouse number.
  • Storage Type
  • we can define the individual warehouse facilities or warehouses that make up the warehouse complex, using their technical, spatial, and organizational characteristics as storage types.
  • Storage Section
  • Each storage type is divided into storage sections. All storage bins with specific common attributes belong to one storage section, for example, storage bins for fast-moving items that are close to the goods issue zone.
  • Storage Bin
  • Each storage type and storage section consists of a selection of storage compartments, that in EWM are called storage bins. The coordinates of the storage bin tell you the exact position in the warehouse, where you can store products.
  • Quant
  • The quant serves to perform inventory management of a material at the storage bin.
  • Activity Area
  • The activity area is a logical grouping of storage bins. It can refer to a storage bin, or can concatenate bins from several storage types.
  • we can either assign storage bins manually to the activity areas, or if there is a 1:1 relationship between storage type and activity area, we can have the system generate the assignment.

Independent Cuban Films Continue to Make Headway Internationally / Lynn Cruz

Havana Times, Lynn Cruz, 23 August 2018 – When darkness seems to hang over us a little heavier, there is a truth that shines through: “The essential thing is to work, to create.”

It has been over a year now since our documentary Nadie, which we tried to screen at a private venue: “Casa Galeria El Circulo”, suffered police repression. Then, during the Mar del Plata International Film Festival, we received a strange email to cancel the screening of this same documentary at the festival, after it had initially been accepted.

After hearing our accounts about censorship not only on the island but abroad too, visual artist Tania Bruguera told us about the persecution her own work had suffered and how this had gone beyond seas and borders and that this should be reported.

This is how the idea for the Cuban Cinema under Censorship exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, MoMa, which was held last March, was born.

A total of 8 movies were shown as part of Bruguera’s project which she put forward with the Hannah Arendt International Institute for Artivism (INSTAR), which started operating at the end of 2017 in Havana.

Then, in April, Cuban-Lebanese-American Nat Chediak, an intellectual and film enthusiast, founder of the Miami Film Festival, organized the first Independent Cuban Film Festival outside of Cuba under the name, Forbidden Fruit.

From left to right: Angel Santiesteban, Rafael Almanza, Rafael Alcides, Tania Bruguera.

The festival took place at the Coral Gables Art Cinema in Miami, which Chediak is currently responsible for programming, and was also curated by critic Alejandro Rios.

At this time, a new copy of the movie produced outside of Cuban institutions, is headlining at the World Cinema Amsterdam Independent Film Festival which is underway right now and will end on August 26th. It also includes movies which have had protection from Cuban institutions, the most noteworthy being Sergio y Serguei(RTV Comercial) by Ernesto Daranas or Ultimos Dias en La Habana by Fernando Perez (ICAIC).

In this way, it has become evident that independent filmmakers are beginning to become a force to be reckoned with. Bruguera has kicked off a new funding campaign to continue developing Cuban film, which is deprived in Cuba and only survives thanks to filmmakers’ own initiatives.

Today, the Cuban Institute of Cinematographic Art and Industry (ICAIC) only produces historical movies. Alejandro Gil’s movie about 8 medical students who were shot during Spanish colonial times is currently in the post-production phase as is Jorge Luis Sanchez’ movie which focusses on the character of Julian del Casal, a poet who represented the move towards modernism in Cuban literature; as well as Rigoberto Lopez who is working on a movie about Ignacio Agramente, a hero of Cuba’s independence wars.

ICAIC doesn’t seem to have any interest in integrating new filmmakers either, and the way scripts are chosen within this institution is still unknown.

In contrast, INSTAR’s deadline for submissions will end on September 8th. Filmmakers interested in taking part can fill out a form online or download one as a PDF file. This is essentially an opportunity to make your first movie.

This opportunity offers a niche for everyone who wants to make their first feature movie, short movie or documentary. It’s a question of thinking about film from its genesis outside of government institutions.

Few outdoors shoots, a reduced technical team, would be strategies that allow these movies to be made.

Now is a good time for Cuban film thanks to these initiatives by Cubans who have managed to pave the way for Cuban film abroad and try to continue developing and offering opportunities to the Seventh Art created on the island, with or without the protection of Cuban Film Laws.

Note: This article, in its English translation, is taken from The Havana Times.

Business Trips

As the world gets smaller and communication technology brings people closer, businesses are branching out all over the globe. International business travel has become a necessity of business. Corporations can take on the expense of creating an entire travel department, but most opt to outsource the task to a business travel agency.

Business travel extends the job duties beyond the normal workload and commute. The business pays the tab or reimburses the employee. Business travel agencies help by selling a complete travel package that would account for accommodations on the trip, transportation to get to business meetings, group packages and vacation incentives for employees. While on a business trip, you are expected to conduct yourself as if you were in the office. On trips, you represent the company
A business trip is, technically, any trip made as a requirement for one's work. In practice, however, the expression "business trip" usually means traveling out of town, or even country, for work. This can be to visit a potential client, attend a conference, or to meet with another branch of your company. Some jobs require near-constant travel, while other workers view the opportunity for paid travel as practically a vacation.
Whether the trip is to close the big sale or to present your budget to corporate, the fact remains: a business trip is a great chance to make a name for yourself. You've been sent to represent your company, and it's one of those “make-or-break” opportunities. You can look sharp and come home a hero, or pretend it's an excuse to get drunk in a foreign city and stall your career. Make the most of your time in front of the heavy hitters, and travel like a pro business traveler. Start with our primer on business trips, and make sure you get to fly with carryon only by reading our packing tips for business travel.
Every day at TRAVEL TAILOR we provide efficient and reliable solutions for your corporate needs including transfers and long or short stay requirements.

Our internal travel agency offers the best in terms of quality and competence in transportation, hotel and related services.
