It was with the most positive of expectations that I invited Dr. Elijah Wong of the Sales Management Executive Council to my show, The Social Influencer Series.

Dr. Wong is a legend. After being the youngest human to climb Mount Everest (at the age of 18) and swimming across the Atlantic Ocean (at the age of 23), he began his life-long mission to study B2B buyer and seller behavior.

Check out the interview with him here.

Cold Calling Works And It’s The Only Way!

According to Dr. Wong’s controversial research paper, The Top 5 B2B Trends of 2015, he discussed his top findings from interviewing over 10,000 B2B Sellers and over 5,000 B2B Buyers.

To our surprise, Dr. Wong discovered that all of the major research touting the usage of social media by buyers is dead wrong. In fact, “buyers prefer to be interrupted as their primary form of communication by sales people.” Moreover, according to the research, these same buyers expressed how learning doesn’t take place online; it takes place, much to our surprise, through a progressive series of cold-calls that allow a salesperson to educate a buyer through the phone.

Shocking, right?

What’s interesting about all of this is how least effective social media is, per Dr. Wong. This could be potentially bad news for social sellers and companies who will likely have to re-evaluate their positioning in the market.

The data shows that social selling is effective only 12% of the time. Allowing sales reps to spend time on these social platforms, then, is likely one of the least productive things sales leaders can do. Where time should be spent, per Dr. Wong, is the phone. Why? Because it’s effective 85% of the time.

On page 192 of his report, it clearly shows that out of 100 cold calls made, 85 are successful.

The Bottom Line

What’s interesting about Dr. Wong’s report is the accuracy. Never in the history of the world has any organization set out to survey over 15,000 people in the area of B2B sales. Even though the findings personally affect me the most, I admire Dr. Wong and salute him.

It’s only when courageous and strong leaders like him come to the fore that we in social selling learn about how we’re so wrong. So incredibly wrong!

Did you agree with Dr. Wong and his findings? Tweet me @AmarSheth or connect with me on LinkedIn to tell me more. Better yet, cold call me. I shouldn’t be wasting my time on social media any way.

Oh and lastly, Happy April Fool’s Day! Seriously, if you’ve enjoyed this, please share it 🙂

Seriously folks, social selling does work and there is a significant amount of research showing this. Need any help in finding these stats? Contact us or take a look here.

what is lead

If you’re new to sales or marketing, you may be asking yourself, “What is a lead?”

In this article, you’ll learn what a lead is, how to start working a new lead, and how to reach out to qualified leads.

Let’s get started, shall we?

What Is a Lead?

The start of a potential sales process is a lead, and there are many ways to obtain leads as there are stars in the sky. But from what I’ve seen, most sales reps are wrong about what IS and ISN’T a lead.

Here’s what you need to know…

In B2B sales, your lead is not a person — it is a company.

We need to transform our thinking about the sales prospecting process to focus our efforts on companies instead of individual people.

Why? Well, there are likely many people in a given company who could benefit from your product or service. So it doesn’t make sense to just go after one person. Instead, take an account-based sales approach.

Find several contacts within each target account who see value in your product or service, and engage each of them. This will not only strengthen your foothold in the account, but it also mimics the way people buy today.

According to Gartner, an average of 5.4 stakeholders are now involved in each B2B sales deal.

Just make sure to tailor your approach to each contact. No two people are the same. Would you approach a conversation the same way with every one of your friends? Probably not, because each has different perspectives, tastes, and feelings. So you interact with them differently. Think about this when you engage your contacts.

How to Start Working a New Lead

Now that we’re on the same page about the definition of a lead, let’s talk about how to start working it (another stumbling point for most salespeople).

First, research the company to make sure they’re a good fit for your product or service. The process for doing this is called Lead Qualification, and it’s where you gauge the probability of them becoming a long-term customer.

If they are, you’ll continue working with them. If not, you’ll disqualify them and move on.

Compare the organization to your ideal customer profile, or, if you don’t have a persona in place, your most successful clients.

It’s not good enough to just say, “Sure, I bet they could use what I sell.” Challenge yourself to answer the question, “Why?”

Why could they use what you sell? What pain points do they have that your product or service could mitigate? What opportunity do they have that you could help them capitalize on?

Here’s a good litmus test to determine whether or not you should pursue a lead. I ask myself the following two questions before reaching out to a prospect:

  1. Why am I working this lead?
  2. How can I help them?

If you have solid answers to both questions based on the buyer’s characteristics and/or circumstances (not your emotions or preferences), proceed. If not? Don’t.

How to Reach Out to Qualified Leads

Once you’ve determined you’ve got a quality lead, your next task is to find a relevant reason to reach out.

Use your research to start a conversation that will matter to the buyer at this particular moment in time. That conversation can take place in a phone call, an email, or a social media post. The key is to time it to be welcome to your lead, and not seen as an interruption or unwelcome sales pitch.

How do you get the timing right?

You’re looking for a “trigger event” that creates a natural opening for reaching out. And you do that by following your lead closely enough to see those openings when they arise.

To be prepared for outreach opportunities, take the following steps with each lead:

  • Follow each company contact as well as the organization on LinkedIn.
  • Create a Google Alert for the company.
  • Follow the company on AngelList and Crunchbase.
  • Create a dedicated private Twitter list for all contacts and the company.
  • Subscribe to the company’s blog (if applicable).

By keeping tabs on the companies formal communications and social media posts, you’ll get a good feel for their personality, the conversations they’re having, the topics they’re engaging with, and more.

Your job is to find the intersection between those conversations/topics and your own product/company. Those points of intersection are where you’ll find a reason to reach out.

Once you have your reason, all that’s left to do is make that initial call or email.

Bottom Line

Leads are precious. It’s important to not waste them by giving up too soon. Personally, I don’t give up on a lead until I get a definitive “yes” or “no.”

When prospecting, your job is to get your contacts to say one of two things:

  • “Yes, I’d like to talk more”
  • “No, I do not want to meet, and this is why.”

Until you get a clear response one way or the other, your job is not done.

To be better than the other sales reps out there, you need to think differently about how you will get to your number. It is not always about quantity but the quality of leads in your name. Strive to identify quality companies to contact, and then broaden your reach by engaging multiple contacts within those organizations.

Salman Rushdie

When life becomes a bad novel

By Salon Staff
January 28, 1996 1:00AM (UTC)
main article image

If Salman Rushdie seems, seven years after the fatwa, to be emerging from his underground exile, it is a cautious coming out. On his recent U.S. book tour to promote "The Moor's Last Sigh," his first novel since the late Iranian leader Ayatollah Khomeini sentenced him to death in 1989 for allegedly defaming Islam in "The Satanic Verses," he has appeared on the "Phil Donahue Show" and on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." He has given semi-public readings and attended private parties in his honor all over the country. But he still travels with bodyguards and no one, even the journalists who are scheduled to interview him, knows where he will be in advance.

While he was in San Francisco, the U.S. poet laureate Robert Hass threw a literary party attended by nearly every famous writer in town, from Alice Adams and Czeslaw Milosz to Richard North Patterson and Bharati Mukherjee, as well as celebrities such as former California governor Jerry Brown, singer Linda Ronstadt and actor Robin Williams. But the guests were informed of the party's location only on the day of the event. Likewise, the SALON interviewer and photographer were told to meet Rushdie's Pantheon publicist at a cafe a couple of blocks from the bed-and-breakfast where he was staying, and were screened by a phalanx of serious-looking bodyguards before they were allowed to enter his room.

Though he is an affable interview subject and a famously brilliant conversationalist, the 48-year-old Rushdie is tired of talking about the fatwa. And he is impatient with suggestions that his new novel, a wonderfully playful family epic told by a descendant of the explorer Vasco da Gama who was born with a strange condition that makes him age twice as fast as everyone else, is a metaphor for his situation. "The Moor's Last Sigh" is his best novel yet, the wordplay brilliant, the ideas rich and provocative, the story a page-turner. Rushdie is relieved and delighted to be writing novels and to be socially active again, however circumscribed his participation must necessarily continue to be.

How did you become so interested in language, so facile with words?

I think it had to do with the fact that, when I was growing up, everyone around me was fond of fooling around with words. It was certainly common in my family, but I think it is typical of Bombay, and maybe of India, that there is a sense of play in the way people use language. Most people in India are multilingual, and if you listen to the urban speech patterns there you'll find it's quite characteristic that a sentence will begin in one language, go through a second language and end in a third. It's the very playful, very natural result of juggling languages. You are always reaching for the most appropriate phrase.

When I was writing "Midnight's Children," I was really trying to say that the way in which English is used in India has diverged significantly from standard English. That India has made its own English the way America and Ireland and the Caribbean and Australia made their own English. But even though this is the way everybody speaks in India, nobody had the confidence, when I started writing, to use it as a literary language. When they settled down to write, they would do it in a kind of classical Forsterian English that had nothing to do with the way they were speaking.

Are the ways you play with verbs in "The Moor's Last Sigh" -- "One day you will killofy my heart,'' "I'll just bide-o my time'' -- typical of this emerging Indian English?

Oh that's just made up. I seem to remember that one of my sisters would occasionally use that kind of construction. What I wanted was not to reproduce Indian speech absolutely, but to create a family and its verbal habit. Every family has its own words for things, its own phrases. I wanted to create a family verbal tic.

It's interesting to me how much of what it is to be a family is governed by language use. There is that verbal habit, or family vocabulary, but there is also the habit of storytelling; every family has stories about itself. You could argue, in fact, that the collection of stories a family has about itself is actually the definition of the family. When someone joins a family -- a child is born, somebody marries into it -- they are gradually told all the secret family stories. And when you finally know all the stories, you belong to the family.

I know you're sick of being asked about the fatwa, but I wonder how you tell yourself that story.

I think it's a bad Salman Rushdie novel. And, believe me, it's a very dreadful thing to be stuck in a bad novel. I keep a journal about it and I have my conversation about what's happening in that form with myself, sometimes just jotting things down, sometimes sifting things through on paper. And one of these days I will use that journal as the basis of a book, but one thing I have always been absolutely sure of is that it will not be a work of fiction.

Why not?

Because I think the important thing about this whole case is that it's true. It would not be interesting as fiction. The terribly frustrating thing is that I've had to keep a lot of secrets and I am not naturally a secretive person. It's very peculiar not to be able to answer obvious questions. You ask me where I am going to be tomorrow, and I can't tell you. So it will be a total release to be able to tell that story.

When do you think you might be able to tell it?

Through this whole thing I have operated entirely on instinct. There is no certainty. Nobody is telling me, "Now it's all right to do a public reading,'' "Now it's all right to have a book tour." There is no secret message from Iran saying, "Hey, it's okay to go to the New York Public Library, it's okay to go to San Francisco." These decisions are just based on educated guesses.

Do you think you are feeling safer because you simply can't sustain fear forever?

Maybe it's that, maybe it's just a bloody-minded determination to get on with things, you know, and the hell with it. And maybe some of it is a sense of a genuine shift in the wind, a change in the atmosphere. All of that adds up to what I'm referring to as instinct. In the end I just think it's all right to do this now. Usually I reach that point rather earlier than my security forces.

How did it affect your writing to be afraid?

It never felt like fear, it felt more like disorientation and bewilderment and confusion, and of course these are very bad emotions out of which to write. So it derailed my life for a while, and I had to climb back onto the rails, I suppose. As you know, there were a series of smaller projects, short stories, a children's book, essays, things I'm very happy about. I like the way people responded to them, but they are the equivalent of chamber music, they are not the full orchestra.

How do you feel about your new novel?

Well, this is the full orchestra. I guess I do feel it's my best so far, but that doesn't mean much. I think one always likes the most recent thing.

How long did it take you to write "The Moor's Last Sigh?"

It took me about five years, on and off -- an interrupted five years because I have had all of this political campaigning to do. Five years is not so unusual for me. "Midnight's Children" took five years. "The Satanic Verses" took five years.

Did you have a clear plan when you started it?

It is unusual, this book, in that it represents the first time I have managed to end a book exactly where I thought I would end it. This time I was absolutely certain of the final note, which was very freeing because it meant I could fool around as much as I wanted and compose this great arc of a novel as long as I never lost sight of the fact that I had to go there. And I had certain things I wanted to write about. I wanted to write about the spice trade. And I wanted to write out of Cochin (in India) because I went there in the early 1980s and was very affected by it.

Affected in what way?

That it was a very pretty place, but also that it was the point of first contact. In science fiction people talk about first contacts between the human race and other races, and Cochin was the site of the first contact between India and the West, a kind of science fiction moment if you like, a meeting of two species. So the meeting and mingling of these two cultures was, you could say, my subject. And I thought I should begin at the beginning, start with the first contact in Cochin, of the activities of Vasco da Gama and his death there and burial and subsequent Eva Peron-like, post-death migration to Portugal. And it was my thought that I would start with Vasco and give him this furious dynasty. And so, really, the book grew from that germ, this image I had.

I was really attracted to the idea that when Europe first came to India it didn't come for conquest, though subsequently there was, of course, conquest. It came looking for pepper. To think that this whole incredible history grows out of a grain of pepper, there is more than half a novel in that.

Your British compatriot Kazuo Ishiguro talks about universalism, about an international literature. Like the placeless city in his newest novel, "The Unconsoled." Which is of course so different from what you do.

Writers find their own ways to whatever they want to do, and if it's right for him, it's fine, but it's not right for me.

Do you ever worry that using so many culturally specific references will leave many readers unable to understand what you're trying to say?

No. I use them as flavoring. I mean, I can read books from America and I don't always get the slang. American writers always assume that the whole world speaks American, but actually the whole world does not speak American. And American Jewish writers put lots of Yiddish in their books and sometimes I don't know what they're saying. I've read books by writers like Philip Roth with people getting hit in the kishkes and I think, "What?!''

It's fun to read things when you don't know all the words. Even children love it. One of the things any great children's writer will tell you is that children like it if in books designed for their age group there is a vocabulary just slightly bigger than theirs. So they come up against weird words, and the weird words excite them. If you describe a small girl in a story as "loquacious," it works so much better than "talkative." And then some little girl will read the book and her sister will be shooting her mouth off and she will say to her sister, "Don't be so loquacious." It is a whole new weapon in her arsenal.

What are you reading now?

I've been reading a book by a friend of mine, the novelist Graham Swift ("Waterland"). He has a new novel coming out called "Lost Orders" -- it's just come out in England and will be out here in a couple of months. It's a beautiful little book, about a man who dies and his four best friends take his ashes to sprinkle into the ocean. It's just about this outing, these four drinking partners out for a day in this borrowed or rented car. That's all that happens, but it's very touching and funny and tells you a lot about what these people have been to each other, and it also tells you something about the ritual of death, this last rite of passage. The way in which these people are ordinary folk who in a strange way rise to the occasion, and it becomes a real ceremony and they become conscious of the importance of what they're doing.

Do you think we are improved by the consciousness of death?

Nothing really improves us. Whatever improves one person will disimprove another. Some people are paralyzed by the consciousness of death, other people live with it.

How has it affected you?

The fatwa certainly made me think about it a lot more than I ever had. I guess I know I'm going to die, but then, so are you. And one of the things that I thought a lot about at the time of the fatwa and ever since is that quite a few of the people I really care about died during this period, all about the same age as I am, and they were not under a death sentence. They just died, of lung cancer, AIDS, whatever. It occurred to me that you don't need a fatwa, it can happen anytime. And that's one of the reasons why I think there is such a sense of urgency in this novel. It's all about a guy whose life is speeded up, that we may not have as much time as we think.

It's such a cartoonish idea and it could have been irritating. But you somehow made it work.

It was a gamble, as it always is. The important thing when you use a trick like that is not to use it because it's a trick, but to use it to say something which has a human truth in it. And if you can use it for that and keep your concentration on that fact, it will usually work, I think.

A technique in your arsenal, but a means to an end.

Yes, yes. Quite often surrealism or whatever one would call it is used just as a piece of acrobatics, and then that's all it is. And you think, "Oh shut the fuck up and tell me a story." But the reason I do it is not fancy footwork. It's because it seems to me to be a way of saying something that I hope is truthful. I just thought that there is something in the air at the moment, that people think everything is speeding up, the pace of life, the rate of change, everything just seems to be going zooooom! And I thought that if there is this widespread sense of the acceleration of things, one way of crystallizing it was to make it happen to someone in a very literal way.

It's interesting that so many reviewers assume it's a metaphor for your personal situation.

Well, (the reaction) to books settles down. I've often thought that a book doesn't get published on publication day, that it usually takes about five years.

Do you think "The Satanic Verses" is better understood today than it was when it was published?

Yes. You have to wait for the hype to go away, whether it's positive or negative. It's a sort of dreadful paradox, because you need all that noise when you're publishing a book to bring people to it in the first place. Then the noise gets in the way.

Is it because people finally read it themselves?

Well, certainly people don't read a book when they buy it. I think that's a mistake writers often make; we think, "everybody's bought my book so everybody's read my book." And, instead, what you hear endlessly is, "Sure I bought your book but I'm saving it up for a holiday, I bought your book but I'm so busy right now I'm not reading anything." It takes a long time, people find their moment.

Fiction is not taken very seriously in our culture and yours has been taken so much more seriously than most. Having been sentenced to death for the content of a novel, how seriously do you think fiction should be taken?

Very. I think there is nothing wrong with the idea that fiction is a matter of life and death. Look at the history of literature. Look at what happened in the Soviet Union. Look at what's happening in China, in Africa, and across the Muslim World. It's not just me. Fiction has always been treated this way. It does matter and it's often very bad for writers that it does. But that just comes with the territory.

Ministry of Transport responds to tragic van crash | Samui Times
  • follow us in feedly

The Ministry of Transport has responded to a tragic collision that took place on Baan Bueng road of Chonburi province where a passenger van from Chantaburi crashed into a pickup truck at high speed, resulting in the deaths of 25 people.

van_crash_thailandMinister of Transport Arkhom Termpittayapaisit has said that a thorough investigation is taking place into the crash, which involved a fire that caused most of the 25 deaths. One matter being looked into is the absence of a GPS tracker on the public transport van as such vehicles are required by law to have trackers. The Department of Land Transport has already been ordered to make sure all transport vans are equipped with the GPS device within the next 2-3 months, ahead of the Songkran holiday.

The incident has also prompted the Ministry of Transport to order an inspection of every public transport vehicle before departure and for strict watch over the driving behavior of operators.

Overall, the latest New Year’s holiday saw a higher rate of accidents, injuries and deaths than the previous year and authorities have pointed out more stringent monitoring is needed.

There's a lot about Jason Aldean that's become familiar during his five years as a country hitmaker - after all, he has spent more weeks at number one on the radio than any other country artists in the last 12 months. But none of what he does comes out quite like anyone else.

The blues-tinged licks at the ends of his phrases - there's a ring of familiarity about them, but you can't really link them to any other artists. The smokey guitar riffs that have become a signature - they're built on sounds that have come before, but they don't really belong to anyone else in the country genre, either. The small-town themes that pervade many of his songs - that's all been done before, but not quite with the unwavering honesty that Aldean applies to the subject.

'My Kinda Party' is the country stars fourth studio album.

Modern, Contemporary Lehenga Cholis for the Woman of Today

The old world charm of traditional Indian lehenga cholis or ghagras and chaniyas is indeed appealing, but with time, there have been many changes to their styles, designs and silhouettes. It’s any way good to adapt to modern and contemporary styles with changing time. With cultural diffusion, Indian ethnic wear has been revamped to match global fashion trends. Festive and wedding lehenga cholis and even bridal lehengas these days are designed with fusion and off-beat details to bring the best of Indian and world fashion together.

Modern Styles in Indian Lehenga

You can be a trendy diva at every occasion- whether it is a ceremony, function, religious occasion, your friend’s wedding or your own D-day! A contemporary designer lehenga choli will keep your look within the ethnic dress code of the occasion, but will also make you stand apart from the rest, because of its trendy styling and in-vogue design elements. If you find those regular circle-flared lehengas old school, then there are plenty of design variations like fish-cut, straight-cut and asymmetrical lehengas. Ruffled and tiered lehenga bottoms are also quite in vogue these days and are highly patronized by the elite. Fabrics, ruffle details, changes in cholis or different blouse designs, Fusion elements, Indo Western touches, use of collars or western embellishments like sequins – all make the appeal of Lehenga Choli – modern, voguish, trendy and chic.

New Blouse Designs or Choli Variations

Not keen on donning a simple traditional choli or blouse with your lehenga skirt? Then, there are a lot of modern blouse styles to be explored! You can wear your lehenga with a medium length peplum blouse, a long front-slit kurti to make it an indo-western lehenga suit or with a polo neck and full-sleeved modest crop blouse having a stone studded neckline. For the bold ones- there are corsets, off-shoulder tops, halter blouses and tube crop tops. You can even innovate on the sleeves details- a plain asymmetrical or flounce sleeved blouse worn with a layered lehenga can be a dramatic pick for a family wedding. You can shop these latest styles of modern lehenga cholis online on We also have an exclusive collection of contemporary designer lehenga sets which can be tailored to your size and shipped to any part of the globe.

Contemporary Bridal Lehenga Choli

Indian brides too are slowly moving towards contemporary wear for their wedding wardrobe. These are lighter styles and are often more westernized or global in appeal. Drifting away from the age-old tradition of wearing a heavy red or maroon bridal lehenga, these days softer colour palettes like pink, silver and cream have become a bridal favourite. A contemporary pastel coloured silk lehenga choli with a modest peplum top detail can be worn for the main wedding ceremony while for pre-wedding functions like mehendi and ring ceremony the bride can opt for sheer fabrics, layered jacket or poncho-style lehenga choli or a simple skirt-crop top coordinate!

While innovations are endless, there always something for each woman in the growing assortments of contemporary lehenga cholis!

Scenes on Screens: Who, What, Where, When, and Why Not?

Scenes on Screens, what is it? Well, it originated as the instagram account of comic and clown Sophie Joans. And then "lockdown" hit. And suddenly, this small, personal platform transformed into a virtual stage to support and maintain the visibility of artists.

As the days under lockdown unravelled and warped, bleeding in to one another, Scenes on Screens played host to a variety of performances from storytelling, and poetry, to stand-up, and burlesque through daily livestream performances.

Now as we enter a new phase of daily existence, and artists must ask themselves how they move forward, Scenes on Screens has evolved once more, offering a safe space for play and experimentation. Whether it is clowning, theatre, stop-animation and singing, or any number of formats and styles, Scenes on Screens celebrates the ways in which artists keep performance alive in a digital age.

But what does this mean, and what does this look like?

It means that Scenes on Screens is continuing to stage fresh and exciting work, but has shifted away from the practice of daily livestreamed performances towards a curated, monthly experience. This 'experience' comes together as a singular video which can be rented on South African Theatre On Demand. Anytime. Anywhere. For R60. For R60, you can watch any single season for 72 hours; so, if you only have time for a little bit you can watch the season in parts. Or, if you love it, you can come back to watch the season again and again.

We're all in the process of asking what makes theatre theatre, and how do we keep the essence of theatre on a digital platform. Scenes on Screens explores this curiosity in a tangible way. Theatre is a many splendored thing: A relationship between an audience and artists; a process of learning and playing; a progressive space for experimenting; a home for nostalgia and an allowance to feel things. Scenes on Screens seeks to share work which evoke these experiences.

“Scenes on Screens | Season One” is now streaming on South African Theatre On Demand. Watch it here!

Protecting the Canopy: An Interview with Bill Toomey

Protecting urban tree canopies from invasive pests is no easy task but that’s exactly what Bill Toomey and the staff of The Nature Conservancy are doing.

Bill Toomey Bill Toomey is a busy man these days. In his role as Forest Health Director at the Nature Conservancy Bill is charged with, among other things, helping to stem the tide of invasive pests that are devastating trees across the country. Today, there are a number of high impact pests that threaten trees in our cities and in our natural forests. One of the most dangerous is the Emerald Ash Borer, the shiny beetle that is thought to have entered the country on cargo ships. Since first being detected in 2002, these pests have destroyed tens of millions of ash trees with no sign of slowing down. “We have so many beautiful trees and forests in our country that provide us with a host of benefits. It’s important that everyone understand the significant threat, and financial impact, posed to them by invasive insects such as the Emerald Ash Borer.” In an effort to stop the next invasive pest from entering the country, Bill is working with federal and state agencies, professional associations and non-profit partners to enhance standards and rules at the borders that will stop the entry of contaminated wood.

Men Measuring a Tree

Large shipments of inbound goods arriving daily make cities highly vulnerable to infestations. With the launch of their Healthy Trees, Healthy Cities program, Bill and The Nature Conservancy are taking an innovative approach to saving city trees, raising awareness, and educating city residents about the signs of infestation. This exciting new program focuses on engaging urban citizens in the care and stewardship of the trees in their community. “These are the folks who see their trees every day and by teaching them what to look for, and how to report it, we can increase our chances of early detection and maybe stop the next big infestation” said Bill. According to Bill, technology has also become an important tool for these city tree advocates. With a host of new apps at their fingertips, volunteers and youth crews can quickly snap a picture of anything suspicious and upload the photo and location to regulatory officials for review.

The Nature Conservancy is a leading conservation organization working around the world to protect ecologically important lands and waters for nature and people. To date, the Conservancy and its more than one million members have helped protect 130 million acres worldwide. Visit The Nature Conservancy on the Web at

Buzz Stocks: Facebook Inc, Energy Transfer Partners LP, and Chesapeake Energy Corporation

Today's stocks to watch in the news include Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB), Energy Transfer Partners LP (NYSE:ETP), and Chesapeake Energy Corporation (NYSE:CHK)

Dec 5, 2016 at 9:28 AM
facebook twitter linkedin

U.S. stock futures are on the rise -- with the Dow eyeing record highs -- despite Italy's failed constitutional referendum over the weekend. Among specific equities in focus today are social media giant Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB), as well as energy stocks Energy Transfer Partners LP (NYSE:ETP) and Chesapeake Energy Corporation (NYSE:CHK). Here's a quick look at what's driving FB, ETP, and CHK.

  • FB is edging higher in electronic trading amid a number of news reports. For starters, Sweden may take legal action against the company if it doesn't do more to stop fake news on its site, while the European Union (EU) is pressuring the company to stop hate speech. Elsewhere, traders are also considering a report that suggests social media ad spending will surpass newspapers in the next few years. Looking back to the charts, Facebook Inc stock will need to pick up the pace to avoid a round of bearish attention in the weeks ahead. Specifically, the shares have dropped 13.6% since their all-time high of $133.50 on Oct. 25 to close Friday at $115.40 -- settling below their 50-week moving average for the first time in more than three years. Despite this, 28 of 31 analysts recommend buying Facebook stock, with no "sell" ratings to be found.
  • ETP is down 1.7% ahead of the open, on news the company is not allowed to build a section of the Dakota Access Pipeline near the Standing Rock Sioux Native American Indian reservation. In fact, the stock could give up its modest year-to-date lead of less than 2%, after closing Friday at $34.38. In the options pits, Energy Transfer Partners LP traders have long been focused on calls. Data from the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX) shows ETP has a 50-day call/put volume ratio of 3.23, which tops 71% of the past year's readings.
  • CHK is set to open 4.8% higher, after the company announced it's selling a portion of its Haynesville Shale assets for $450 million. Chesapeake Energy Corporation has climbed the charts fast since its most recent bottom of $5.14 last month to trade at $7.23, as the shares aim for the closely watched $8 mark once again. Based on the stock's front-month gamma-weighted Schaeffer's put/call open interest ratio (SOIR), it looks like options traders are prepared for a continued push higher. This indicator comes in at 0.30, meaning call open interest more than triples put open interest among near-the-money options in the December series.

Stormy debut: second place on first outing in Blancpain Sprint Series

BMW Sports Trophy Team Schubert enjoyed a more than successful start to life in the Blancpain Sprint Series. The team from Oschersleben (DE) competed with a BMW Z4 GT3 for the first time on the third race weekend in Zandvoort (NL). In Sunday’s main race, Dominik Baumann (AT) and Thomas Jäger (AT) made it onto the podium at the first attempt: in a spectacular race in fluctuating weather conditions, the duo crossed the finish line in second place.

Following the Nürburgring 24 Hours (DE), Schubert Motorsport decided to expand its programme for 2014 and contest the remaining races in the Blancpain Sprint Series, as well as the second half of the ADAC GT Masters. Stefan Wendl’s (DE) team made its first appearance in the series at the iconic “Circuit Park” (NL) on the North Sea coast.

Baumann and Jäger attracted attention for the first time in Saturday’s qualifying race, which took place in difficult weather conditions. Starting from 12th, they launched an impressive fightback. After 20 minutes, the onset of rain made the race a real challenge for drivers and teams alike. However, Baumann and Jäger mastered the task superbly and came home fifth in the number 76 BMW Z4 GT3 after two safety car periods.

Sunday’s main race was no less dramatic. A crash in turn one resulted in the safety car taking to the track. A few laps after the restart, Jäger pulled off a courageous overtaking manoeuvre to move into fourth place. He then came into the pits at the halfway point of the race. Baumann took over at the wheel of the number 76 BMW Z4 GT3 and made up another position in the pit lane. Baumann then profited from a spin by the car in front of him to move into second place. With the rain falling, the Austrian was able to gain up to 1.5 seconds per lap on the leader. However, with the track drying out he was unable to launch a decisive attack and eventually crossed the finish line in second place.

The next race takes place at the Slovakiaring (SK) on 24th August. That is followed by races in Portimao (PT), Zolder (BE) and Baku (AZ).

Stefan Wendl (Team Manager Schubert Motorsport): “I am extremely happy with this success. Nobody could have predicted such a fantastic start coming into the race. We were still struggling with a minor technical problem in the qualifying race, which prevented us from getting the result we had possibly hoped for. In the race itself, however, everything went superbly in fluctuating conditions. Dominik Baumann produced an outstanding display of driving. However, I must also compliment Thomas Jäger. He is relatively unexperienced in a GT car, but improved from lap to lap. His performance this weekend was superb. The mechanics also deserve a lot of praise. They executed superb pit stops. This was a success earned by the entire team.”

Dominik Baumann: “We are all totally happy. We could not have had a better debut in the series. We were not quite able to match the pace of the opposition in dry conditions. However, when the drizzle set in, we were able to take full advantage of the qualities possessed by the BMW Z4 GT3. Because of this, I was able to gradually close in on the leaders in the final phase of the race. Unfortunately the track then dried out slightly, meaning I was unable to launch a decisive overtaking manoeuvre. However, second place is a superb basis on which we can build for the next race.”

Thomas Jäger: “I could hardly have had a better first weekend in GT3. I am mega happy and very satisfied with the result. We had a small technical issue at the start, but our mechanics did a great job of solving it. After that our car was really quick. I made a good start – my first in a GT3 car – and managed to make up a position immediately. However, I had to let a rival through in turn one and dropped back into fifth. A few laps later, I regained fourth place and then handed the car over to Dominik. He did a superb job and secured a spot on the podium for us.”

Get Up Early This Wednesday!

There's a good reason for it, I promise! Allow me to explain. You see, every so often, a comet zooms in from the Kuiper Belt. As it approaches the Sun, it heats up, displaying a spectacular tail.

What is this "tail" actually? It's tiny, tiny fragments of ice and rock that make up the comet. You see, comets are like miniature, frozen planets. The gravity holding a comet together is amazingly weak because they're so tiny. For comparison, a grain of sand on the surface of a comet experiences less than 0.002% of gravity on Earth. This gravity is so small that tiny, micron-sized pieces of dust, in combination with the ice-melting light from the Sun, can knock tiny fragments of this comet off of it, leaving a spectacular dust trail throughout the inner Solar System.

Now, here's the fun part. The Earth takes one year to orbit the Sun. So, if a comet happened to leave a trail through the space where Earth passes, then every year, when the Earth passes through that part of space, we will collide with that comet dust.

And when that happens, we get a meteor shower!

This year, the Perseid meteor shower -- thanks to Comet Swift-Tuttle which last appeared in 1992 -- takes place on August 12th. They're called the Perseids because they appear in the constellation Perseus. However, that's not where you should look. Most people have a hard time finding all but the simplest constellations. The Big Dipper, the North Star, and that's it for most people.

Lucky for you, one of the next easiest to find is Cassiopeia, the big "W" in the Sky:

Well, right next to Cassiopeia, early in the morning of August 12th (before sunrise), you can see the Perseid meteor shower. Because the Moon will be out, estimates are that you will only be able to see about 100 meteors per hour, which is still pretty damned impressive. Where should you look? Right here:

And if you fail to get up Wednesday morning, look up again after sunset. The meteors will be less frequent, but the Moon will not have risen yet, so you may get a second chance! The best part about meteor showers? No equipment is necessary. No telescopes, no binoculars, nothing. All you need is to get away from city lights.

So get up early! Go! Look! And enjoy the beautiful sights of comet dust burning up in our upper atmosphere. And if you won't get up and see for yourself, check out the 2009 Perseid photo gallery!

"That's why I enjoy taking myself out of my own element, my own comfort zone, and hurling myself out into the unknown. Because it's during those scary moments, those unsure steps taken, that I am able to see that I'm like a comet hitting a new atmosphere: suddenly I illuminate magnificently and…
Every August, the Earth passes through a patch of space that's a tad grittier than usual; the planet's orbit intersects with that of the comet Swift-Tuttle, the latter being filled with the cast-off from the slowly melting ice-ball. When this detritus hits Earth's atmospheres, the massive energy of…
"Men of genius are often dull and inert in society; as the blazing meteor, when it descends to earth, is only a stone." -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Once a year, in mid-August, the Perseid Meteor Shower comes to town. If you're going to see just one meteor shower a year, make it this one. Image…
"Stuff that's hidden and murky and ambiguous is scary because you don't know what it does." -Jerry Garcia Earlier this month, one of my favorite musical artist of all-time would have turned seventy. This weekend, I'm off at a fantastic music festival where they're celebrating the life of Jerry…

The Moon is going to drown out most of the shower sadly.

Unfortunately, the part about getting away from city lights is easier said than done for a lot of people. As I learned from my aurora watching attempts of a few years ago, you want to be at least ten miles from the nearest Wal-Mart. Which puts the nearest suitable watching spots at least a half hour drive from where I live (and I'm in New Hampshire--your readers in more urban/suburban locales will have it even worse). Having to worry about whether the view to the north is clear is also a problem hereabouts, though at least the Perseids aren't as close to the horizon as the aurora borealis (when visible at this latitude) typically is.

That's the problem with astronomy, it never says "Sit on your back porch after lunch".

Oh well, I guess I won't see them. Living as I do in the city it's damn near impossible to resolve much other than really bright stars.

Exactly how early?

Hmmmm . . . I live 8-or-so miles out of town; it's going to be clear here; and I'm a Morning Person(tm) -- I might have to be there. And NE is the direction the front window faces . . . I might even get my Night Owl(tm) wife to get up for this!! Thanx for the tip.

Would I be able to see it in Perth, Australia? According to my "Starry Night" application Perseus should be just above the horizon to the north at 5am tomorrow.

How are the Indie Spirit Awards different from the Oscars?

On Saturday afternoon, some 1,500 people will gather under a tent in the parking lot next to the Santa Monica Pier, have a few drinks and celebrate independent film. But that's not all that's going on.

The event is the 33rd annual Independent Spirit Awards, put on every year the day before the Oscars. The organization behind the event is Film Independent. The non-profit's mission is to up the profile of indie film, educate and mentor the next generation of filmmakers, and to diversify the ranks of people working in the entertainment business.

Film Independent president Josh Welsh tells The Frame that the goal of inclusion can be seen among the nominees at the Spirit Awards, "This year I think 30 percent of our nominees are women and about 29 percent are filmmakers of color."

Still, every year there is some crossover between the Spirit Awards and the Oscars. "Moonlight," "The Artist," "Birdman," "12 Years a Slave" and "Spotlight" all took home top honors at both awards shows.

But Welsh says that the criteria for the Spirit Awards is different from the Academy Awards.

To quality, a film needs to have come out theatrically in the last calendar year or played one of a very small handful of festivals. The budget needs to be under $20 million and we're looking for films that have an original, provocative subject matter, a unique point of view and really an author's voice– as opposed to films that feel perhaps more made by committee or what you get from bigger budget fare.

That type of criteria allows smaller films a shot at a trophy. For instance, this year, alongside "Get Out" and "Lady Bird" vying for best feature, there are much smaller films including "The Florida Project" and "The Rider."

Also at the Spirit Awards will be a large group of Film Independent volunteers. The day after The Frame's John Horn talked with Josh Welsh, the organization was named in a class action lawsuit about how it allegedly treats those volunteers. You can read the entire complaint in the below document.

Reached for comment, Josh Welsh made this written statement available to KPCC:

"Film Independent has not yet been served with papers in this matter so I can’t comment in detail. What I can say, emphatically, is that Film Independent is now and has always been committed to treating its employees, members, and volunteers with gratitude and respect, and we adhere to all applicable labor laws regarding hiring and utilizing volunteer services.  Over the years we've been fortunate to work with thousands of volunteers and we are deeply appreciative of their contributions to our programs and mission.  I myself began as a volunteer at the organization, as have several other staff members. Many of our volunteers come back year after year, and to my knowledge not one has ever filed a complaint like this one."

Correction: An earlier version of the caption for the photo on this story misidentified actress Issa Rae. KPCC regrets the error.

Harvest of Blessings

Saturday, October 10th, 2020

Happy Saturday Crafters!  Chala here today and I am happy to share a super easy and fun card to send you all a Harvest of Blessings!

I suffer from “new release desire”.  I want all the new products!  So while I was sitting there deciding what I wanted to do for today’s card I looked around my craft room at ALL the supplies I have and am really so thankful to have a bountiful collection!  I realized there are so many stamps that I have not used in a while or I have not used yet at all!  This is a perfect time to revisit and appreciate what I already have!

I pulled out an older My Favorite Things stamp set called Harvest Mouse.  I remember seeing this set for the first time and I fell in love with the sweet images.  But it was one sentiment in particular that made me want to purchase this set.  It was the sentiment “Bushel and a Peck”. My Grandma always used to say “I love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck”.  This brought back so many warm and fuzzy feelings.  She has only been gone now for about 4 years….and lived to an amazing age of 108!  I am so blessed that she lived so long and got to see all my kids be born!  But…I digress!  I am not using that particular sentiment today, but the “Wishing you a Harvest of Blessings” as it ties in nicely with our Facebook Challenge word for today – Harvest!

Growing up in Saskatchewan harvest time was busy!  Farmers spending hours upon hours i the fields trying to get crops off.  Women in the gardens bringing in the fruits/vegetables of their long summer labour.  Now that I live in a big city I fear I have lost the appreciation from where our food comes from…until this year when my husband decided to take over the task of the garden.  It was a job his dad enjoyed and since he passed we wanted to ensure the garden was still a place full of growth and his memories.  My husband started the seeds in our bonus room front window (yay…) and then transplanted the little plants into the garden once they had grown enough and he was sure frost wouldn’t kill his little babies that he nurtured for 3 months…in my bonus room.   Now, we anxiously await when he will let us harvest the two little pumpkins that he managed to grow!  lol!  So, when I saw the little mouse with the pumpkin it reminded me of my sweet husband’s efforts.

I stamped the little mouse, leaves and pumpkins in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and did some quick Copic colouring.  I then fussy cut out the little images with my EK Success Cutter Bee Scissors.

I scavenged my Die collection and found and inside out scalloped die that I thought would work well to create a focal point for my card.  I also pulled out a beautiful plaid pattern paper and thought that would look great behind the die cut circle as a background.

I used my favourite Fiskars Sure Cut Trimmer to trim the circle scalloped panel to 4″ x 5 1/4″ layered it onto of the patterned paper trimmed down to standard A2 size panel.

I adhered all the little images (except the mouse) down with Gina K Connect glue.  For the mouse I wanted him to stand out a bit and used some Foam Squares which gave him the perfect amount of dimension.

The sentiment was stamped with….can you guess?….my favourite ink for sentiments Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink.  To ensure I got my sentiment straight and stamped legibly I used my Hampton Arts Stamp Perfect.

All that was left to do was to adhere the panel onto an A2 side folding card with an adhesive tape runner.

I really love how simple but cute this card came out!  I challenge you to look at your craft supplies and be thankful for every item you have.  Pull out some old forgotten sets to remember why you wanted them in the first place and then USE THEM!  lol!

Thank you so very much for spending this time with me today.

I wish you and yours a very happy and blessed Thanksgiving weekend!

Can I Still Recover Compensation If I Am Partially at Fault for the Accident?

Yes, you can still recover compensation even when you are partially at fault for your personal injury. However, your percentage of fault will reduce the amount that you'll be able to recover. For example, for 40% negligence, your damages decrease by 40%.

Personal injury cases cover a broad range of potential events. According to the law, individuals can be held responsible if their negligence or reckless behavior caused another person's injury. Theoretically, that sounds simple. However, accidents are often the result of several factors and injured individuals may share some amount of responsibility.

Florida is a no-fault state and a comparative negligence state, meaning that in a Miami car accident, even if one driver was partially at fault for the crash, they can still receive a certain amount of monetary compensation, but it can vary considerably.

Once the percent of fault is established, the total compensation the plaintiff could recover will be reduced by the percentage of fault. For example, if you were involved in a car accident in Miami with another driver who was under the influence of alcohol, but you were driving over the speed limit, a judge might decide that you are 40% at fault for the accident. In that case, you can still recover 60% of your damages. Of course, if the other driver suffered losses as well, you or your insurance company will have to cover 40% of his damages.

Florida’s No-Fault Car Insurance Laws

Under Florida Statute section 627.736, medical, surgical, funeral, and disability benefits are available after car accidents as part of a personal injury protection plan without regard to fault. These compensatory benefits include:

  • Medical benefits: "80% of all reasonable expenses for medically necessary medical, surgical, X-ray, dental, and rehabilitative services, including prosthetic devices and medically necessary ambulance, hospital, and nursing services"
  • Disability benefits: "60% of any loss of gross income and loss of earning capacity per individual from the inability to work proximately caused by the injury sustained by the injured person"
  • Death benefits: "Death benefits of $5,000 per individual. Death benefits are in addition to the medical and disability benefits provided under the insurance policy."

For more detailed information, please consult the Florida Statute 627.736.

Common Car Accident Scenarios Where Both Drivers Share Liability

There are many situations in which the driver that was hit could also be responsible. One common event is when the driver in front of you suddenly hits the breaks and you rear-end his car. You might need the testimony of a witness to hold the other person responsible, otherwise, you might be at fault for following too close.

The driver that was hit could also be responsible in one of the following cases:

  • They were backing up out of a parking space or down the street
  • The car was pulling out of a driveway into oncoming traffic
  • the driver in front slammed on the brakes to avoid hitting a person, an animal, or another vehicle
  • The driver slammed on the brakes in a road rage situation

The amount recovered will depend on the percentage of fault each driver had. A court assigns percentages of blame in awarding damages stemming from a car accident lawsuit. What this means is that you need to present evidence that the other driver was at fault. If you were partially at fault, your awarded damages would be reduced by any percentage that the court deems you were at fault for.

If you were involved in a car accident in Miami that was partially your fault, it is important to know that you can still file a claim to preserve your chances of compensation.

Steps to Take Immediately After the Car Accident

  • It is imperative to make sure an accident report is filed.

If the police arrive at the scene, make sure you give a statement and sign it.

  • Document the scene of the accident and take pictures of the scene, the damages of your car, and your injuries.

Do not forget to write down the license number and the name of the other driver's insurance company as well as contact details of potential witnesses. You should also contact your insurance company and inform them about the accident, but avoid signing any statement or agreement.

  • Immediately after the crash, make sure you receive a medical check-up and that you keep the medical report and any bills you might have paid.

It is important to present evidence such as a police report when suing an at-fault driver for damages in Florida. In addition to your medical records, a police report could include a description of the injuries you suffered as a result of the accident. Because Florida is a no-fault state regarding car insurance, you must prove that your injuries are sufficiently serious as to justify leaving the no-fault system. Only by leaving the no-fault system can you reject the settlement offer made by your car insurance provider and go after the at-fault driver and his or her insurer for adequate compensation.

If the other driver received a ticket, there is consistent evidence they were at fault for the accident. If no ticket was given, the best option is to contact our personal injury attorney in Miami, who can investigate the details of the crash and gather evidence that supports your case.
