Digital marketing has a lot of components. One of the most important and critical components of digital marketing is email marketing. Especially in the age of volatile social media, where you cannot trust any platform to reach your followers, email marketing is uber important.

I have been focusing most of my learning and execution on email marketing and marketing automation in the past few years. And I have developed quite an experience in making sure my email campaigns work.

In this post, I want to talk about 10 tips to help you deliver your emails from your email campaigns, to the inbox of your subscribers.

1. Write Plain Text Emails

Email campaigns are either made of plain text emails or of HTML emails. If you are an individual or personal brand communicating with your subscribers, it is always best to send a plain text email. Not only it saves time and helps you focus your energy on the content, it is something that subscribers prefer as well.

If your friend sends you an email, does he/she ever add a design template to it? Obviously not. HTML emails de-personalize the whole message. Good designs are important for websites, landing pages, apps, brochures and in the product itself, but it is counter intuitive to use in emails. So always, try to send plain text emails than HTML emails.

If you are sending out corporate communication and if you are sure that your subscribers want to read such a message, you can use HTML mails. For example, if you are getting order status updates from Amazon, you would expect a certain level of branding and design to make the message more readable and easy to consume.

When sending messages trying to communicate something new with your subscriber list, plain text emails will help you get the message across without distractions and noise.

2. Convert Prospects into Customers

Sending an email to a prospect is seen as a promotion or an unsolicited message. Sending an email to a customer is seen as a transactional communication.

In most of the email marketing tools, if you select a message to be transactional, they will send it from emails servers and IP addresses that have better deliverability.

Here’s the message shown by when I select the messages as transactional.

That’s why I try to get as many prospects convert into customers, even if the transactional value is very low and doesn’t yield a profit.

I sell ebooks for as low as $1 or ₹99. And I sell 1000s of them. And sometimes I spend money on ads to convert these prospects into customers – even if I am losing money on every sale. I might spend $2 for every $1 ebook sold.

No customer would unsubscribe from a seller’s communication, unless the permission is abused. I send updates on the ebooks and blog posts related to the topic of the ebook to my customers – and it gets an open rate of as high as 60%.

As this happens, my subscribers are getting used to opening my emails: because they are not just subscribers, they are paying customers. When I send a promotional email promoting a product (which is usually 1 out of 5 emails), I get good open rates and good sales. Because they are used to opening my emails.

3. Request Subscribers to Whitelist Your Email ID

If someone adds your email ID to their contacts list, your email will never land in spam or any other promotional folder. However, not everyone will add your email ID to their contacts. You have to request them explicitly, in multiple instances.

First, request as soon as they sign up for your newsletter, then mention about it in the first welcome email. Request them to whitelist your email ID on every email in the footer.

Around 2-3% of the subscribers will add you to their contacts list. This might look like a small number, but there are the people who will end up becoming your buyers and brand evangelists.

Final Words

I hope this blog post has given you ideas on how to increase deliverability of your email campaigns. I will be writing more on email marketing in the coming days! Stay tuned!

Apollo, government tie-up for certificate course in clinical research

Views: 616
A growing demand for clinical trial professionals has led to an increasing number of institutions offering academic programmes in the same. Delhi, at present, has over 15 hospitals, medical colleges and institutions conducting clinical trials.

According to the Planning Commission, India gets 139 clinical trials as against 98 for China. The market value of clinical trials outsourced to India was estimated at nearly US$ 300 million in 2006. Besides, according to a McKinsey report, by 2010 global pharma majors would spend around US$ 1-1.5 billion just for drug trials in India. The report further estimates that the profession will create a demand for nearly 5,00,000 professionals in India.

To meet this demand, Apollo Hospitals Research and Education Foundation (AHERF), Delhi, has initiated a joint venture with the government regulatory body and drug industry to launch a certificate course in clinical research. The course would highlight all aspects of drug development from discovery to human use to post marketing surveillance.

Write for Us

According to Ranjit Roy Chaudhury, Chairman (management), Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, Delhi: “India would be the hub for clinical trials of new drugs and many companies would be investing here. At present, we lack specialised people in this area and if we don't act now we would miss a valuable opportunity.”

The foundation will offer an 18-month course from Delhi, Hyderabad and Chennai, offering 20 seats in each city. It would launch the course in Delhi's Apollo Hospital from July this year, and from January 2009 in Hyderabad and Chennai. The first six months of the programme will revolve around full-time classroom teaching and will be followed by a 12-month internship at the Indraprastha Apollo Hospital.

Initially, AHERF will offer a certificate programme and then look to upgrade the same to a diploma. “We are discussing our case with the University of Cincinnati, US. We aim to train at least 300 experts in clinical trials within the next five years,” said Chaudhury.

Meanwhile, Vidyasagar Institute of Mental Health and Neuro-Sciences (VIMHANS), Delhi, and RNIS College of Clinical Research and Allied Sciences recently entered into an understanding to provide practical training to students of clinical research programmes. VIMHANS Hospital has been conducting clinical trials approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), US, since the last four years.

According to Dr Shamsher Dwivedee, senior consultant, VIMHANS: “The tie-up would offer students of clinical trials a global exposure. At present we have eight projects from which students can benefit.” Clinical research involves both classroom teaching and hands-on training. The students of RNIS would, now, receive hands-on training at VIMHANS.

Japan says ‘Yokoso’ to Indian students

Views: 7.6K

A plethora of Japanese universities opened their stalls in education fair, in Taj Coromandel, Chennai to woo Indian students. Representatives of several schools and universities attended the anxious lot of students who formed a beeline at the booths.

Yoshino Hiroshi, Director of University of Tokyo India Office, unraveled the prospects of education in Japan, he asserted on the facts that Japan is a beautiful and safe city with rich culture and heritage. He also highlighted the issue of generation of smart manpower is the need of the hour. Japan is in urgent need of good manpower in the field of engineering. He also raised his concern over the decrease in the number of Indian students in Japanese universities.

Write for Us

The Tokyo University ranked amongst the 20 best universities of the world, but it failed to woo maximum number of Indian students even after fetching a good rank. Only 727 students enrolled in different Japanese Universities last year. Currently Japanese Universities offer a gamut of courses to students which include Engineering, Sustainable Development of Language, Economics, Commerce and Humanities.

Is Social Media killing E-Mail Marketing?

No, is the short answer!

I was reading the post I’ve linked to above over on Denise Cox’s e-mail marketing blog, and found myself nodding in agreement. Rumours of e-mail marketing’s imminent demise at the hands of social media are grossly exaggerated. There are problems, certainly, but E-Mail is still a crucial part of a constantly evolving marketing mix for large and small businesses.
In the first chapter of “Understanding Digital marketing” we point out that throughout history the emergence of new marketing channels never really supersedes the established ones. Rather they augment them, offering marketers and business owners more scope to connect with their customers… and those same customers more choice in how they engage with brands and businesses.

Here’s a short extract from the book:

Technological advances have punctuated the evolution of advertising throughout history, each fundamentally altering the way businesses could communicate with their customers. Interestingly, however, none of these ground-breaking developments superseded those that came before. Rather they served to augment them, offering marketers more diversity, allowing them to connect with a broader cross section of consumers. In today’s sophisticated age of paid search placement, keyword-targeted pay-per-click advertising and social networking, you’ll still find the earliest forms of advertising alive and well.

Stroll through any market, practically anywhere in the world – from the food markets of central London to the bazaars of North Africa, to the street markets of India – and you’ll be greeted by a cacophony of noise as vendors use their voices to vie for the attention of passing customers. The human voice, the first marketing medium in history, still going strong in the digital age.

From “Understanding Digital Marketing”, Chapter 1, Going digital — the evolution of marketing, p. 4

It’s getting more complicated out there, for sure, but with that complexity comes remarkable opportunity to develop enduring, mutually beneficial relationships that can deliver long-lasting results.

For the vast majority of businesses maintaining those relationships depends on the most established online communications medium of them all: e-mail. While it’s dominance might wane gradually as relience on e-mail is diluted by the steady adoption of other communications technologies, it’s stell set to play a pivotal role in the marketing mix for many years to come.

Unveiled in the same week that the UK government scrapped the Independent Living Fund (ILF), a debate about the artistic merit of Damien Hirst’s 'Charity' (2003 - 2004) ignited on Dao’s FB group.  A 22-foot painted bronze likeness of a Spastics Society (Scope) charity collection box from the 1960's-1970’s depicting a sad disabled child, the press lauded it as a statement about disability rights and exclusion. Why? Because in Hirst’s depiction, the giant...

Meet Your Certified Massage Therapists

Our Massage Therapists are licensed and certified to help you with your specialized needs.

Meet Your Therapists

Frequently Asked Questions

We understand that receiving a massage, especially your first massage, can come with a lot of questions. Below are some questions that we get very often from clients just like you. We hope that they help you on your journey to optimum health. If we haven’t answered your question here, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

What to Expect

At the beginning of each session, you and your massage therapist will discuss your personal goals for the massage.  This is a great time to describe areas that need special attention or any pain or discomfort that you are experiencing.  Your massage therapist will use this information to decide what techniques to use during the session. You are welcome to ask questions at any time during the session, and communication is encouraged to help make your experience the best it can be.

If this is your first massage with us, please plan on an additional 20-30 minutes to go over your paperwork and health history with your therapist. It is important for us to have a good understanding of where you’ve been, where you’re at and where you want to go so that we can better help you reach your health and wellness goals.

Schedule A Massage View All Services

What should I wear?

It is important that you are comfortable during your massage. You will never be asked to undress more than you are comfortable with. As a general guideline we tell clients that they should undress completely from the waist up. If you feel comfortable having your glutes worked, you are welcome to undress completely. Should you leave your underwear on, your therapist will not work your glutes. Please know that only the part of the body being worked on will be exposed. You modesty is always respected.

How often should I schedule a session?

Frequency will depend on your specific needs. However, the maximum benefits of massage are cumulative. Like exercise, yoga, and chiropractic care, the more that you can make massage therapy a routine component of your lifestyle, the more benefit you will derive from it. Most people benefit from one massage per month, however some need more and some need less. Your body will let you know how often you need to receive massage. Your therapist can objectively help you to decide what your schedule needs to be.

What if I need to cancel my appointment?

Your time with your therapist is important. Your massage therapist’s time is valuable. Please respect it as you would your own. In the event that you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment we ask that you kindly give 24 hours notice by calling 970-581-2298 or pay a cancellation fee. If you are a new client and either no show or late cancel your appointment, please know that you will have to pre-pay for your next appointment in full.

How will massage get rid of my pain?

Massage is more effective in treating soft tissue (i.e. muscle) pain than almost anything else out there. After checking with your doctor to make sure that the pain that you experience is not a symptom of a more serious health issue, it is time to call and set up your appointment.

Muscle pain is often a result of three things: overuse or repetitive use, injury or stress. Your therapist specializes in treating soft tissue dysfunction regardless of the cause. When you experience a muscle that is tight and sore and maybe even has a “knot” in it; that muscle is overloaded with metabolic waste and needs to return to a relaxed, functional state. Your therapist will apply a variety of modalities based on your injury and specific needs to increase circulation to the area and break up the adhesion, or knot, in the tissue. Increased circulation will help to bring fresh blood, oxygen and nutrients to the area and move the metabolic waste out. This will relieve much of the pain in the area. Stretching the muscle and breaking up the adhesion, or knot, will help the muscle function better.

It is very common to experience relief for 24-48 hours after your first massage. Often clients experience a return of pain, although frustrating, this is normal. Typically it will take 3-4 treatments to see a long lasting effect. It took you more than an hour to create this pain….it will take more than an hour to get you out of pain. The good news is that once the area of pain and dysfunction is released, when receiving regular massage, client’s very rarely experience recurrence of the original discomfort.

Nutella Stuffed French Toast Cups

4 eggs
1 c. heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
6 c. of thick, cubed bread – about 6-7 slices
Nutella or other hazelnut spread

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a muffin pan with butter or oil spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, vanilla and cinnamon.

  • Let cool for at least 5 minutes as the cups settle and return to their original size.
  • Serve as is or with a dusting of powdered sugar.

You Thought Mary Poppins Has Come to Save the Children?

This article appeared on the Disney Dads section of the Babble website under the title “Snubbing Mr. Banks…”  It’s got a slightly different take but I thought my editor did a brilliant job and really tightened it up.  Still, I thought it might be nice to see the article as I had originally published it (with a couple modifications that after reading it again I realized desperately needed the editing).  But take a gander at the Disney Dads section on Babble and maybe peruse the other articles, too.

Love this poster for the movie - Saving Mr. Banks
Love this poster for the movie – Saving Mr. Banks

“You think Mary Poppins has come to save the children?  Oh dear.”

Had to be the most impactful line of the movie for me.  For anyone who hasn’t yet seen the movie Saving Mr. Banks, I’m not giving much away by sharing with you those words.  It’s laid out in the title after all, and if you’ve read my previous Disney Dads article I talked about it there, too.  Mary Poppins didn’t come to save the children.  She came for Mr. Banks.  Would that we all had someone who “popped” into our lives when we needed them the most?  How much better would we be as parents?

Saving Mr. Banks is a delightful exploration into the backstory of one of Hollywood’s most endearing films, Mary Poppins.  The original 1964 musical starring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke – both Disney and film legends – went on to garner 13 Academy Award nominations on its way to winning five of them including Best Actress for Andrews and Best Original Song for “Chim Chim Cher-ee” by the uber-talented Sherman Brothers.  However, this was one of the most difficult films for Walt Disney to make.   Pursuing the rights for twenty years, Disney never gave up because he had made a promise to his daughters to get this movie made.

"I have never, I swear, never broken a promise I made to either one of my Disney girls."
“I have never, I swear, never broken a promise I made to either one of my Disney girls.”

“I have never, I swear, never broken a promise to either one of my Disney girls…That’s what being a daddy is all about right?”

For me, that quote by “Walt” is the essence behind Saving Mr. Banks – daddies and daughters.  Specifically, the important role we play as parents in the lives of our children and how our actions take on a significance we can’t always imagine.  We see how Walt’s father prompted Walt to be a very different father than his own and we see how Ginty’s father (P.L. Travers nickname as a child) crushed her heart by breaking promise after promise – the most important being to never lose his daughter.  But he did lose her when he let the bottle become more important than his children. But it’s also why P.L. Travers invented the famous nanny; to save her father – all fathers really – from making the mistakes that will hurt their children.

If you love Disney and you’re a dad, you should see this movie.  It will invite you to examine your own life and to rededicate yourself to your role as father of your children.  A well-known pastor I very much respect once said (and I’m paraphrasing) that we shouldn’t sacrifice the role only we can play for the role that anyone can play.  Only you will ever be your child’s father.  Anyone can be the pastor or bank manager or CEO, but only you will be the father of your children. Being a parent is a great responsibility.  I don’t need to tell you that.  But it is.  And part of that responsibility is the trust and love we are given by our children. Don’t we have an obligation to live up to that as best as we can? Most of us aren’t lucky enough to have a Mary Poppins in our lives, but maybe P.L. Travers will do in a pinch.

  1. Great review! I really loved this movie, kind of sad that it was pretty much snubbed by the Academy Awards. I was surprised by how good Colin Farrell was as the father, more used to seeing him in action movies and such.

  2. It wasn’t the “bottle” or alchoholism that killed him. He died of tuberculosis (consumption). Still his medicating himself through drink left a very hurtful and lasting effect on his daughter. He was an imperfect man with many flaws but I think the mary poppins story was a way to reconcile her relationship with her dad in way she wasn’t able to in real life.

    1. Great point! I totally agree that his drinking had a very destructive impact on poor Ginty. To see how his alcoholism affected the family and affected his standing in the community was just very sad.

Orlando Runner Battling Severe Scoliosis Runs in 2nd Annual Star Wars Half Marathon – The Dark Side at Walt Disney World Resort

Filed in: ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, runDisney, Star Wars Half Marathon - The Dark Side, Uncategorized

Orlando runner Gelcys Casteneda, who overcame severe scoliosis, fibromyalgia and a brain disease that causes chronic migraines, participated in the Star Wars Dark Side Challenge during the second annual Star Wars Half Marathon – The Dark Side at Walt Disney World Resort. Casteneda, 34, ran the 10K on Saturday followed by the half marathon on Sunday, conquering the 19.3-mile challenge while hundreds of spectators cheered her on.

At 15, Casteneda had surgery to correct a 53-degree curve to her spine, which was threatening to crush her heart. But as an adult, her spine has regressed and returned to a 34-degree curve. In addition to battling fibrolyalgia and migraines that leave her in constant pain, her scoliosis makes it difficult to breathe.

Except when she’s running, which somehow alleviates the pain. Casteneda says she runs to prove to herself that her medical conditions won’t stop her and to show her son that it’s important to never give up despite life’s challenges.

Preparing for Coronavirus Covid 19

Over the last week or so I’ve spent some time thinking about how Latin Link in Britain and Ireland might prepare and adapt to the spread of this Coronavirus over the next few months. In doing so I’ve come across a range of resources that may be of use to others.

Risk management is about identifying and evaluating risks in order to minimise their likelihood or impact. Most of what follows aims to help us do that on an individual, organisational and national level. If, as seems the case at the moment, the number of cases doubles every 6 days (unless action is taken to slow the virus) then by late April hospitals will struggle to cope and by May lots of aspects of normal life will not be possible. Even with strategies to slow the virus it looks as if there will be a twelve-week period during which most of us will be infected. Sky news: uk gov strategy

Basic advice in the UK

The main sources of advice in the UK are:

The NHS health service here

Government advice for employers here

Other sources of health advice

As a mission organisation, we use Thrive Worldwide for a range of health things. They have a resources section of their website which includes this fact sheet about Covid-19 factsheet

In the past, I’ve often found the advice from Australian Health Services helpful. Here’s their website. Though it is worth noting that as the virus spreads different countries will need to do different things at different stages.

For a background to the risk assessments: European data

What to do if isolated

Lisette Gabre wrote this article about responding to being in isolation which was posted on the China Source website. Extended period of isolation

How should mission agencies respond?

ABWE’s missions podcast did an episode last week with one of their medical folk, looking into the risks and thinking what might be an appropriate response. ABWE blog

Setting this all in context

It’s worth remembering that the risks to any one healthy individual are low as for 80% of people the illness is mild. The risks rise for anyone over 65 and for those with certain pre-existing health conditions. The main risks are with health services being unable to cope with the increased demand and with disruptions to normal life caused by illness and measures taken to slow the spread.

This article by Ian Paul is good. Responding faithfully to coronavirus

The Bishop of St Albans put together some golden rules for how Christians might live and the attitudes they should have. Golden rules

As for us

At Latin Link we are thinking through a number of questions:

  • How can we help people to do more work remotely?
  • What will we do if lots of people are off sick at once?
  • What would happen if we had to close the office?
  • What about payments to mission workers?
  • How can we help keep the office clean and reduce the likelihood of catching the virus from a colleague?
  • How do we balance being prepared with recognising our trust in the Lord and that many of our mission workers overseas live with greater risks every day?
  • How can we prepare to help and support people in Latin America as they also face this virus?

In short, we believe that planning is worthwhile but panic isn’t.

  1. Wash your hands for 20 seconds whilst saying the Lord’s prayer.
  2. The best way to reduce the impact of virus illnesses is to keep fit, eat healthily and sleep properly.
  3. Stop routinely shaking hands with people.
  4. When the virus starts to take off, try to keep a metre or two away from people to reduce transmission.

And remember, in the words of Psalm 91

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.’

Let us Ramble: Quote in context

Let’s play a game. I’ll give you a quote and you tell me when it was written… The attribution comes after:

“The adjustment of the Christian message to the regeneration of the social order is plainly one of the most difficult tasks ever laid on the intellect of religious leaders. The pioneers of the social gospel have had a hard time trying to consolidate their old faith and their new aim. Some have lost faith; others have come out of the struggle with crippled formations of faith… If our theology is silent on social salvation, we compel college men and women, workingmen, and theological students, to choose between an unsocial system of theology and an irreligious system of social salvation. It is not hard to predict the outcome. If we seek Christian doctrine unchanged, we shall ensure its abandonment.”

All of this talk about the challenge of the church to engage in a life of faith without abandoning the culture around us… It seems so very contemporary! If we don’t change the way we engage with the world around us, surely the church will collapse! If we change without care, what will become of our faith? Surely this was written by someone yesterday as they pondered the role of religious people in the politics of our divided nation. Surely it was a quote from someplace like that article on Reuters about the rise of the religious left.

No, the quote was from “A Theology for the Social Gospel” written and published by Walter Rauschenbusch in 1917. Yup, that quote is literally a century old. The church has been struggling to adapt to the world around it for at least a century.

The church does have a struggle. Let’s be clear about that fact right off the back. Attendance is lower than it used to be even ten years ago. Church checkbooks are struggling and plates are emptier. People have other priorities and sometimes soccer really does seem more important than church. Watch any standard movie about a struggling young mom. Is it more likely to show her dragging them to church or running late to soccer practice? You said soccer, right? The struggle of the church against the pressures of the world is quite real.

Let me drop an opinion on you. I believe that the struggle has been a real struggle for the entire history of the church. Why did the desert mothers and fathers retreat into the wilderness in places like Egypt? In part because they were called. In part because they couldn’t see how they could pursue God in the midst of their social context and felt called into a monastic existence in the wilds. The church and culture collided in those early centuries.

Why did the Orthodox and Roman churches split? Where did the Protestant Reformations and Catholic Counter Reformations come from in later history? Why did the Methodists start a church in the Americas after a revolution split the kingdom of Britain? Why did the Anabaptists reject pretty much everyone around them? How did the Mennonites and Amish end up disagreeing? The world and the church have always had challenges. Those challenges have led people in different directions.

There’s one constant through all of these stories. The church continued, albeit altered, when the monastics left for the wilds and challenged the church to change. The church continued, albeit altered, when the Orthodox and the Romans split courses. The church continued, albeit altered, when the Protestants went a million different directions while the Roman Church went in her own directions. Through all of our history, Christianity has continued to survive through all of her challenges.

One hundred years ago people were questioning whether the church could survive and thrive in a different world. I know that these days are somewhat challenging to many folks as a result of all the strange things going on with church attendance, church trends, and seeming crisis after crisis. Can I suggest that the church will survive even if it does not look the same in one hundred years?

Also, I’ve been late taking my kids to soccer practice more than once in the past few years. I have also missed at least one art show because a meeting ran late. It isn’t just moms movie people. Just saying…

School secessions raise resegregation fears

Since 2000, 70 school districts have tried to secede
By: | June 28, 2017

A federal judge ruled last spring that the predominantly white city of Gardendale, Alabama, may secede from its more diverse county school district—even though the judge saw racial motivations behind the city’s efforts. Jefferson County, Alabama, has been struggling to comply with a federal desegregation order since 1971.

Gardendale students have been attending the Jefferson County Public School system, which in 2015-16 had similar black and white student numbers. But only 20 percent of students in Gardendale are black.

The most recent controversy began in 2012, when two Gardendale residents and a resident of nearby Mount Olive (another predominantly white community) renewed the decades-old effort to form a separate Gardendale public system, according to court documents.

Sidebar: When secession is considered

The citizens group, FOCUS Gardendale, spearheaded a campaign to raise taxes to support the separate system. The group circulated a flyer that asked Gardendale voters if they would “rather live in an affluent city or a formerly white city that is now well-integrated or predominantly black” according to court records.

After Gardendale City Council formed Gardendale City Schools, Gardendale presented a separation plan that phased out non-resident students and filed a motion to operate a municipal school system.

Judge Madeline Haikala of the U.S. District Court in Birmingham presides over the 1965 school desegregation case Stout vs. Jefferson County Board of Education.

Since a 1971 order in that case, federal judges have continued oversight, including approval of attendance zones, over county schools to ensure racial balances are maintained.

Cities splitting off from the Jefferson County system since the 1971 order have been under the desegregation order until the system reaches “unitary status”—achieving the goals of becoming a nondiscriminatory, desegregated system. Haikala ruled Gardendale City Schools could operate two elementary schools in the 2017-18 year on a trial basis.

Dozens of districts try

Gardendale is not alone in its attempt to break away from a more diverse student population, a reality that has compounded socioeconomic inequalities that plague public schools, according to researchers at EdBuild, a nonprofit focused on school funding and inequality matters.

Seventy districts since 2000 have tried to secede, says Zahava Stadler, the organization’s manager of policy and research. Of those, 10 are pending and 15 were denied. Most separations involve smaller, more affluent communities, she says.

As more affluent students pull away, in general, the larger district is typically left with more impoverished students and a lower tax base.

The transfer of Gardendale schools is likely to be stayed, says Phoebe Plagens, communications associate for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, which is representing the plaintiffs. Haikala’s decision will be appealed to the 11th Circuit Court in Atlanta, a lengthy process with an uncertain end.

“They’ve been found to have discriminated, and they should not be allowed” to discriminate further, Plagens says. “All students have a right to an integrated education, and we want to make sure that opportunity remains and is expanded in Jefferson County.”

Like eight other states—including Alaska, Arizona, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, South Dakota and West Virginia—Alabama’s school funding formula does not take poverty into account.

Fried eggs Earrings

How to make food jewelry from polymer clay.

Each of eggs measures about (23mm)

polymer clay of white and yellow colors

acrylic varnish

furniture for earrings (earring hooks and four jump rings)

acrylic paints

Before you start working with clay, please wash your hands – even if your hands look clean you’d be surprised how much dirt can be on them, and it will show up in your white clay.

Take two pieces of white clay and press them. Roll two balls of yellow clay.

Press the brush into the egg white to make some texture into it. You might have to go over it several times before it is ready. If the white rips a bit on the edges, that’s ok.

Put the yellow balls on the white clay and press them a little bit. Push the toothpick all the way through to make the holes.

Now bake according to the clay directions. When the clay is dry, paint the edges of the brown and light brown colors and apply gloss varnish.

IMG_2002 IMG_1999IMG_1995IMG_2009 IMG_2003IMG_2016

So easy and it only takes 10 minutes of your time.

About managing project access using security roles

A security role is a set of privileges that can be assigned as a set to users and can be reused from project to project. Security roles enable you to assign a unique set of privileges to users on a per project basis. They are created and maintained at the project source level and assigned to users at the project level.

Security roles can include a "guest" or anonymous login with an appropriately limited set of privileges. When using anonymous authentication, users log in as "Guest" and do not need to provide a password.

Before you work with security roles, you should:

Workflow Naming Conventions

Updated: May 27, 2021

We provide in this page a few rules for facilitating maintenance of your workflow models.

Graph object names

  • The workflow name is the workflow definition name as it was configured in Studio. Only alphanumeric characters, '_' and '-' are allowed. Also follow this rule when building workflows without Studio. Example: Purchase Order = por
  • Start transition technical name and nodes not-translated labels with this prefix. Main reason is that the transition name and node labels are directly used for translations. Buttons id doesn't need to be prefixed. Buttons label translation key should be _workflow_prefix.node_name.button_id_
  • Use _node_name_.directive for the content of the directive ex: prl_choose_particiants.directive. This improves maintainability of the translation as you better now what it matches.
  • In translations, use verbs for tasks (ex: "Choose Participants"), verbs for buttons (ex: "Reject") and nouns for transitions (ex: "Validation"). This will greatly improve readability of your graph, and facilitate the flow.

Automation chains

Consider having two kinds of automaton chains.

  • Automation chains that are "entry point" automation chains, bound to input, output, transition or escalation. Name those with the following convention:
    • input chain: project_prefix-workflow_prefix-node_name-input
    • output chain: project_prefix-workflow_prefix-node_name-output
    • transition chain: project_prefix-workflow_prefix-node_name-transition_name
    • escalation rule chain: project_prefix-workflow_prefix-node_name-escalation_rule_name
  • Automations chains that are target to do one thing: they are focused on an objective and do nothing else. Name those with the following convention
    • project_prefix-workflow_prefix-doThis (You can even remove the workflow prefix if you think of using it in many workflows).

Usually you will reference the second kind of automation chains in the first one. That way, you will very easily add new features/ small implementation details to each node whenever you want, without having to refactor everything each time. (Note that in the future, we will want to be able to contribute several input, output, etc. chains to avoid the first kind of operations chains.)

Workflow and versioning

A workflow instance is created by copy form the workflow model when you start a new workflow. There is no lazy loading. If you change the graph, the workflow instances that were launched before the deployment of the new workflow graph will keep on using the former graph, while new ones will use the new version of the model.

You can have some troubles if you change the behavior of a chain let's say the chain "wkf-validate-input" in such a way that the new behavior is not compatible with what expects the former graph definition. One way to handle the situation correctly is to have a suffix versioning on automation chain ids. You duplicate the automaton chain and add the suffix _1 , _2, _3 to the new name, to be able to easily do some maintenance on both chains if necessary. So for the new version of your graph with an impacting change, you would use wkf-validate-input_01 and you will not delete wkf-validate-input as long as some old instances are using it.

We'd love to hear your thoughts!

Migrating from Xcode to Bazel

This guide describes how to build or test an Xcode project with Bazel. It describes the differences between Xcode and Bazel, and provides the steps for converting an Xcode project to a Bazel project.

Differences between Xcode and Bazel

  • Bazel requires you to explicitly specify every build target and its dependencies, plus the corresponding build settings via build rules.

  • Bazel requires all files on which the project depends to be present within the workspace directory or specified as imports in the WORKSPACE file.

  • When building Xcode projects with Bazel, the BUILD file(s) become the source of truth. If you work on the project in Xcode, you must generate a new version of the Xcode project that matches the BUILD files using Tulsi whenever you update the BUILD files. If you’re not using Xcode, the bazel build and bazel test commands provide build and test capabilities with certain limitations described later in this guide.

  • Due to differences in build configuration schemas, such as directory layouts or build flags, Xcode might not be fully aware of the “big picture” of the build and thus some Xcode features might not work. Namely:

    • Depending on the targets you select for conversion in Tulsi, Xcode might not be able to properly index the project source. This affects code completion and navigation in Xcode, since Xcode won’t be able to see all of the project’s source code.

    • Static analysis, address sanitizers, and thread sanitizers might not work, since Bazel does not produce the outputs that Xcode expects for those features.

    • If you generate an Xcode project with Tulsi and use that project to run tests from within Xcode, Xcode will run the tests instead of Bazel. To run tests with Bazel, run the bazel test command manually.

Before you begin

Before you begin, do the following:

  1. Install Bazel if you have not already done so.

  2. If you’re not familiar with Bazel and its concepts, complete the iOS app tutorial. You should understand the Bazel workspace, including the WORKSPACE and BUILD files, as well as the concepts of targets, build rules, and Bazel packages.

  3. Analyze and understand the project’s dependencies.

Analyze project dependencies

Unlike Xcode, Bazel requires you to explicitly declare all dependencies for every target in the BUILD file.

For more information on external dependencies, see Working with external dependencies.

Build or test an Xcode project with Bazel

To build or test an Xcode project with Bazel, do the following:

  1. Create the WORKSPACE file

  2. (Experimental) Integrate CocoaPods dependencies

  3. Create a BUILD file:

    a. Add the application target

    b. (Optional) Add the test target(s)

    c. Add the library target(s)

  4. (Optional) Granularize the build

  5. Run the build

  6. Generate the Xcode project with Tulsi

Step 1: Create the WORKSPACE file

Create a WORKSPACE file in a new directory. This directory becomes the Bazel workspace root. If the project uses no external dependencies, this file can be empty. If the project depends on files or packages that are not in one of the project’s directories, specify these external dependencies in the WORKSPACE file.

Note: Place the project source code within the directory tree containing the WORKSPACE file.

Step 2: (Experimental) Integrate CocoaPods dependencies

To integrate CocoaPods dependencies into the Bazel workspace, you must convert them into Bazel packages as described in Converting CocoaPods dependencies.

Note: CocoaPods conversion is a manual process with many variables. CocoaPods integration with Bazel has not been fully verified and is not officially supported.

Step 3: Create a BUILD file

Once you have defined the workspace and external dependencies, you need to create a BUILD file that tells Bazel how the project is structured. Create the BUILD file at the root of the Bazel workspace and configure it to do an initial build of the project as follows:

Tip: To learn more about packages and other Bazel concepts, see Bazel Terminology.

Step 3a: Add the application target

Add a macos_application or an ios_application rule target. This target builds a macOS or iOS application bundle, respectively. In the target, specify the following at the minimum:

  • bundle_id - the bundle ID (reverse-DNS path followed by app name) of the binary.

  • provisioning_profile - provisioning profile from your Apple Developer account (if building for an iOS device device).

  • families (iOS only) - whether to build the application for iPhone, iPad, or both.

  • infoplists - list of .plist files to merge into the final Info.plist file.

  • minimum_os_version - the minimum version of macOS or iOS that the application supports. This ensures Bazel builds the application with the correct API levels.

Step 3b: (Optional) Add the test target(s)

Bazel’s Apple build rules support running library-based unit tests on iOS and macOS, as well as application-based tests on macOS. For application-based tests on iOS or UI tests on either platform, Bazel will build the test outputs but the tests must run within Xcode through a project generated with Tulsi. Add test targets as follows:

At the minimum, specify a value for the minimum_os_version attribute. While other packaging attributes, such as bundle_identifier and infoplists, default to most commonly used values, ensure that those defaults are compatible with the project and adjust them as necessary. For tests that require the iOS simulator, also specify the ios_application target name as the value of the test_host attribute.

Step 3c: Add the library target(s)

Add an objc_library target for each Objective C library and a swift_library target for each Swift library on which the application and/or tests depend.

Add the library targets as follows:

  • Add the application library targets as dependencies to the application targets.

  • Add the test library targets as dependencies to the test targets.

  • List the implementation sources in the srcs attribute.

  • List the headers in the hdrs attribute.

Note: You can use the glob function to include all sources and/or headers of a certain type. Use it carefully as it might include files you do not want Bazel to build.

For more information on build rules, see Apple Rules for Bazel.

At this point, it is a good idea to test the build:

bazel build //:<application_target>

Step 4: (Optional) Granularize the build

If the project is large, or as it grows, consider chunking it into multiple Bazel packages. This increased granularity provides:

  • Increased incrementality of builds,

  • Increased parallelization of build tasks,

  • Better maintainability for future users,

  • Better control over source code visibility across targets and packages. This prevents issues such as libraries containing implementation details leaking into public APIs.

Tips for granularizing the project:

  • Put each library in its own Bazel package. Start with those requiring the fewest dependencies and work your way up the dependency tree.

  • As you add BUILD files and specify targets, add these new targets to the deps attributes of targets that depend on them.

  • The glob() function does not cross package boundaries, so as the number of packages grows the files matched by glob() will shrink.

  • When adding a BUILD file to a main directory, also add a BUILD file to the corresponding test directory.

  • Enforce healthy visibility limits across packages.

  • Build the project after each major change to the BUILD files and fix build errors as you encounter them.

Step 5: Run the build

Run the fully migrated build to ensure it completes with no errors or warnings. Run every application and test target individually to more easily find sources of any errors that occur.

For example:

bazel build //:my-target

Step 6: Generate the Xcode project with Tulsi

When building with Bazel, the WORKSPACE and BUILD files become the source of truth about the build. To make Xcode aware of this, you must generate a Bazel-compatible Xcode project using Tulsi.

# Queries and history

The fundamental property of immudb is that it's an append-only database. This means that an update is a new insert of the same key with a new value. It's possible to retrieve all the values for a particular key with the history command.

History accepts the following parameters:

  • Key: a key of an item
  • Offset: the starting index (excluded from the search). Optional
  • Limit: maximum returned items. Optional
  • Desc: items are returned in reverse order. Optional
  • SinceTx:

# Counting

Counting entries is not supported at the moment.

# Scan

The scan command is used to iterate over the collection of elements present in the currently selected database. Scan accepts the following parameters:

  • Prefix: prefix. If not provided all keys will be involved. Optional
  • SeekKey: initial key for the first entry in the iteration. Optional
  • Desc: DESC or ASC sorting order. Optional
  • Limit: maximum returned items. Optional
  • SinceTx: immudb will wait that the transaction provided by SinceTx be processed. Optional
  • NoWait: Default false. When true scan doesn't wait for the index to be fully generated and returns the last indexed value. Optional

To gain speed it's possible to specify noWait=true. The control will be returned to the caller immediately, without waiting for the indexing to complete. When noWait is used, keep in mind that the returned data may not be yet up to date with the inserted data, as the indexing might not have completed.

# References

SetReference is like a "tag" operation. It appends a reference on a key/value element. As a consequence, when we retrieve that reference with a Get or VerifiedGet the value retrieved will be the original value associated with the original key. Its VerifiedReference counterpart is the same except that it also produces the inclusion and consistency proofs.

# SetReference and VerifiedSetReference

# GetReference and VerifiedGetReference

When reference is resolved with get or verifiedGet in case of multiples equals references the last reference is returned.

# Resolving reference with transaction id

It's possible to bind a reference to a key on a specific transaction using SetReferenceAt and VerifiedSetReferenceAt

JavaScript Libraries

Keeping your JavaScript libraries current

Most modern templates, as well as the Zen Cart admin, bundle in the JavaScript library jQuery, as well as other JavaScript libraries.

You must check the versions of any libraries you are importing to ensure that you are running the latest, and not an older version with known vulnerabilities.

Your template’s html_header.php or jscript/jscript_xxxxxxx.* files are common places to check for direct references to old libraries. You will also want to check the includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/jscript folder to see if there are old versions stored there.

Remember that addons to templates often bring in their own jQuery version that is likely older than the one you want to use for your template. Make sure you’re only loading one copy of jQuery, and that the copy you are loading is current and compatible with all the other JavaScript and/or jQuery features you’re already using.

A very easy way to test whether your libraries are current is to use Google Lighthouse utility. In Google Chrome, right click and select “Inspect.”

Then in the dialog that comes up, on the right side, click “Lighthouse.”

Click the Generate Report button, and look under “Best Practices.” The message in this screenshot indicates that the Bootstrap and jQuery libraries need to be updated.

IV Vitamin Therapy | Tampa & St. Petersburg

Vitamin and nutrient deficiencies can cause fatigue, infection, hair loss, easy bruising, birth defects, headaches, depression and even cancer. Many medications and medical conditions inhibit the absorption of vitamins. At Hermann Aesthetics & Wellness, we monitor vitamin levels. If you are deficient in a vitamin, we prescribe quality vitamins that are taken by mouth, injection or intravenously. We recommend IV vitamin therapy for people who have poor digestion of nutrients. Some of the conditions and factors that make it difficult to absorb vitamins consumed by mouth include:

  • Low stomach acid
  • Medications
  • History of gastric bypass surgery or gallbladder removal
  • Bad bacteria or yeast in the gut
  • Leaky gut
  • Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis

Typically, we will prescribe a weekly IV vitamin drip that contains a combination of B vitamins, vitamin C, magnesium and calcium. Some health care professionals call this combination of vitamins a “Meyer’s cocktail,” after the physician who first administered this combination 30 years ago. You may notice that you feel more relaxed and energetic after a vitamin IV. One of our providers will evaluate you to determine whether to continue therapy after your third or fourth treatment.

In addition to the Meyer’s cocktail, we may administer other vitamins such as:

  • IV glutathione to help detoxify the liver and for heavy metal toxicities
  • Higher-dose magnesium to stop migraines
  • D-ribose to enhance athletic performance
  • Higher dose B vitamins for B vitamin deficiencies

IV Nutrient Therapy

Myers Cocktail IV – $100 per IV

The Myers Cocktail IV therapy is the most common and sought out IV nutrient therapy given. Myers Cocktail was developed by the late John Myers, MD in the 1970s, which was an intravenous vitamin-and-mineral formula used to treat a wide range of clinical conditions. The Myers Cocktail we use in our office consists of magnesium, calcium, B vitamins, and vitamin C. Myers Cocktail has been found to be effective for  treating conditions such as asthma, nutrient deficiency, migraines, fatigue (including chronic fatigue syndrome), fibromyalgia, muscle spasm, upper respiratory tract infections, chronic sinusitis, seasonal allergic rhinitis, chronic cough, cardiovascular disease, dysmenorrhea and other conditions.

ADD-ON treatments – $20 per add-on in addition to the $100 Myers treatment

Glutathione IV Therapy add-on is used to strengthen the immune system through detoxification. Glutathione is naturally found in your body and a great antioxidant source. Glutathione traps the bad things in the body like free radicals and toxins and in return the body eliminates them to promote a healthier environment. This treatment yields excellent results across a variety of conditions, including but not limited to serious chronic diseases such as Parkinson’s Disease, severe toxicity, neurodegenerative diseases, Alzheimers, stroke, depression, asthma, liver disease, MS, central nervous system damage, kidney disease, lyme disease and cardiovascular disease.

Vitamin C IV Therapy add on is used to support the immune system, fight infection, reduce inflammation and improve fatigue. This powerful antioxidant treats depression, fatigue, allergies, acute illnesses, promotes wound healing, etc. It takes an enormously large amount of oral Vitamin C to be effective and only if you can absorb and tolerate it. However, these larger doses can be given intravenously safely and effectively so your body can better absorb the Vitamin C and use it to your advantage.

Vitamin C Benefits

  • Increase Energy
  • Boost Immunity
  • Anti- Aging
  • Reduces risk for Cardiovascular Disease
  • Decreases Stress
  • Anti-Inflammatory

IV Magnesium:  While the Meyers cocktail contains some magnesium, higher doses of magnesium relax muscles.  We use high dose magnesium to treat migraines and for insomnia with excellent results.

Call our office to make appointment with one our highly trained and experienced providers in St. Petersburg (727) 278-3992 or Tampa (813) 902-9559.

Canyonlands Educational Tour 2018

Canyonlands Educational Tour
One month ago, on Sunday, September 9, 2018, we began our thirty-sixth Canyonlands Educational Tour. Since 1968 we have been taking what I call field trips into the Grand Canyon and the areas that surround the Grand Canyon. That includes Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, Canyonlands National District including Lake Powell, Meteor Crater, Painted Desert, Petrified Forest and the areas that surround all of those places.

My constant companion and technical expert has been Alan Doty from Sedona, Arizona. He holds advanced degrees in geology and has been a well-known figure in the area and an active Christian. Alan has made over 300 trips to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and was the first to climb Isis Temple. His knowledge of the area is second to none. Our trips into this area have included four boat trips on the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon, ten bus trips in which we spend a day at each of the sites of interest, and 16 hikes into points of interest in the canyonlands area. We have prepared field trip guides and have conducted studies and lectures on all of the trips.

Why do we do this? The Does God Exist? ministry is dedicated to providing evidence to convince thinking people that science is a friend of faith in God, and that science and the Bible do not conflict. As educators in the public schools, we have seen a great deal of bad science and bad theology combine to destroy the faith of many young people. There is no area where more bad science and bad theology have been promoted than in the canyonlands area.

Not understanding the evidence and not taking the Bible literally have led to a major source of conflict for many people. By taking the Bible literally, I mean looking at who wrote the passage, to whom they wrote it, why they wrote it, and how people of the time would have understood it. Having a week of concentrated study in one of the greatest natural science laboratories on Earth is a wonderful way to combat bad science and bad theology. It is also our hope that participants will go back home and use what they have learned in our seminars to build the faith of people in their home congregations. At the same time, we want to prepare them to combat the efforts of local skeptics to discredit the Bible and destroy faith in God.

Over the next few days, we want to give you a glimpse of what we did on this year’s Canyonlands Educational Tour.

Grand Canyon Formation

Grand Canyon Formation
As we told you before, this is the week of the 2018 Canyonlands Tour. We mentioned the plaque at the Grand Canyon watchtower with the verse from Psalms. Today, we would like to share with you a video segment from a previous field trip to the Grand Canyon. In the video, geologist and teacher John Clayton uses the diagram shown above as he describes the layers of the Canyon and the various processes that formed them. The Grand Canyon formation processes are complex and involve God’s work through natural forces over a vast span of time.
