Vertical lift skid-steer loaders are handy to have around and two new models from Mustang are ready to work. The new 2700V NXT2 and the 3300V NXT2 are powered by Tier 4 Yanmar 72hp diesel engines and meet the latest regulations.
A key feature of the new machines is a selectable self-leveling option and an upgraded cab. These two machines fall into the large-frame category. The 2700V NXT2 has a rated operating capacity of 2,700 pounds and the 3300V NXT2 is rated at 3,300 pounds. Lift height for the 2700V NXT2 is 10-feet, 10-inches, and for the 3300 NXT2 lift height is 10-feet, 11-inches.
The new Yanmar engines feature diesel particulate filter technology which does not require additional fluids for operation. Maximum torque is 217 ft.-lbs. The new machines also feature a fully-customizable digital in-cab display that provides coolant, fuel, battery, environmental, engine regeneration and other system information in real time. And that self-leveling option offers an in-cab on-off switch.
The forward cab placement and the roomy design offer operator comfort, and provides the operator with a solid view of the work to be done. Joystick and hand/foot control towers are also fully adjustable. Learn more by visiting www.mustangmfg.com or call 262-334-6612.

And, there's always something new going on at our world-class show sites:


The hockey community was shaken this week by the events that took place in Ottawa. It hit home to many hockey players who played with heavy hearts. Nonetheless, hockey continued, teams played, and changes were made to this week’s Power Rankings. Many teams are going to be faced with injuries for the next few weeks and will have to dig deep to remain contenders. Here are the Power Rankings for Week 3.
30. Carolina Hurricanes (0-5-2)
Last Week’s Ranking: 29
This Week’s Schedule: @Canucks, Coyotes, Kings
Breakdown: There is a new worse team in the NHL and it is the Carolina Hurricanes who still remain without a win. With injuries to many of their top players, the Canes have not been able to gain any footing in the standings and remain on a sinking ship headed straight to Connor McDavid or Jack Eichel.
29. Buffalo Sabres (2-7-0)
Last Week’s Ranking: 30
This Week’s Schedule: @Maple Leafs, Bruins, @Penguins, Red Wings
Breakdown: It was much of the same for Buffalo as they started the week with two consecutive losses. The only reason they moved up a spot in the rankings was their win against the San Jose Sharks – doubt anyone saw that coming. However, they will still be duking it out for the worst overall record this season with Carolina.
28. Edmonton Oilers (3-4-1)
Last Week’s Ranking: 28
This Week’s Schedule: Canadiens, Predators, Canucks
Breakdown: Edmonton rallied for three consecutive wins this week saving Dallas Eakins’ head coaching job. Everything is still a mess in the Oil City with one of their top prospects, Nail Yakupov, getting stuck with 4th line duties. When do all these amazing first round talents start putting it together and making the Oilers a competitive team?
27. Winnipeg Jets (3-5-0)
Last Week’s Ranking: 26
This Week’s Schedule: @Avalanche, @Coyotes
Breakdown: Without Evander Kane the Winnipeg Jets have little to no offense at their disposal. Without scoring, it’s difficult to win hockey games. They managed to beat the Carolina Hurricanes and Colorado Avalanche this week, which isn’t saying much at all since both teams have been struggling mightily.
26. Florida Panthers (2-2-3)
Last Week’s Ranking: 27
This Week’s Schedule: Coyotes, Flyers
Breakdown: Florida had a relatively easy week with only two games against two of the worst teams in the NHL, Colorado and Arizona. Even still, both of their games went to overtime where they came out with a win and a loss. The team is still looking for their players to step up.
25. Arizona Coyotes (3-3-1)
Last Week’s Ranking: 24
This Week’s Schedule: @Lightning, @Panthers, @Hurricanes, @Capitals
Breakdown: Arizona is just not getting wins when they need it most. They lost to Nashville in a shootout this week and were shutout by the Minnesota Wild. Even though they outplayed the Florida Panthers, it took them until overtime before the Coyotes were finally able to secure a win. Other than Yandle and Ekman-Larsson, Arizona’s defense doesn’t quite hold up against the rest of the league
24. Philadelphia Flyers (3-3-2)
Last Week’s Ranking: 25
This Week’s Schedule: Kings, @Lightning
Breakdown: Smoked by the Blackhawks, the Flyers went into Pittsburgh the next day and left Consol Energy Center like they normally do – with a win. Philadelphia was outplayed and outshot by the Red Wings on Saturday night, but escaped with two points they had no business getting. Now with Braydon Coburn and Andrew MacDonald out for a month each, they’re defense is as depleted as ever. It’s not going to be an easy few weeks for the Orange and Black.
23. Colorado Avalanche (2-4-3)
Last Week’s Ranking: 21
This Week’s Schedule: Sharks, Islanders, @Blues, Ducks
Breakdown: I knew the Avalanche weren’t going to be as good as the team that showed up last season, but to think they’d have this big a dropoff is ludicrous. They took care of Vancouver easily this week scoring seven goals, but were upset twice in overtime to the Panthers and Jets. It’s not time to press the panic button yet, but it’s getting close.
22. Toronto Maple Leafs (3-4-1)
Last Week’s Ranking: 22
This Week’s Schedule: Sabres, @Blue Jackets, Blackhawks
Breakdown: Toronto remains in the 22nd spot. They were one of a few teams to play two games this week and managed to split both of them. There are nights they’ll come out onto the ice as if they were being shot out of a cannon (NYI) and times where you’d think to yourself: “Did they know there was a game tonight?” On any given night the Maple Leafs are like a box of chocolates…you never know what you’re gonna get.
21. New York Rangers (4-4-0)
Last Week’s Ranking: 20
This Week’s Schedule: Wild, Jets
Breakdown: This isn’t the same team as last season for whatever reason. Almost everything has remained the same. The Rangers have always relied heavily on Henrik Lundqvist to make the team successful. Now that he’s struggling, so is the rest of the squad and that doesn’t bode well for the Broadway Blueshirts or their fans.
20. Columbus Blue Jackets (4-4-0)
Last Week’s Ranking: 17
This Week’s Schedule: @Devils, @Canadiens
Breakdown: Columbus finished up their West Coast trip with a 1-2 record. They pulled out a win agains the Sharks, but dropped both games in Southern California to the Ducks and Kings. Their defense hasn’t helped out Bobrovsky much as they averaged over four goals against during the last three games.
19. St. Louis Blues (3-3-1)
Last Week’s Ranking: 10
This Week’s Schedule: @Stars, Ducks, Avalanche
Breakdown: There is no more sugar coating it. The St. Louis Blues have played better hockey. The newly acquired Paul Stastny is on the IR with a shoulder injury. Their offense is almost nonexistent, which is a key part of the game the team fed off of last season. Once the goals start coming everything else will fall into place.
18. New Jersey Devils (4-2-2)
Last Week’s Ranking: 19
This Week’s Schedule: @Pengins, Jets, Blue Jackets
Breakdown: While their offense is consistent, their overall game is not. The team needs to start stretching together more than two wins at a time. And don’t even bother looking at their shootout numbers. I thought the Flyers were bad at shootouts (and they are), but the Devils take the cake.
17. Detroit Red Wings (4-2-2)
Last Week’s Ranking: 16
This Week’s Schedule: @Capitals, Kings, @Sabres
Breakdown: Another inconsistent team is the Detroit Red Wings and it’s not often that you hear that. Since Nicklas Lidstrom retired, the team has just not been the same. The team is growing further and further away from those feared teams of the 90s and 2000s. A huge hinderance has been their powerplay, which just can’t seem to put the puck in the net.
16. Boston Bruins (5-5-0)
Last Week’s Ranking: 11
This Week’s Schedule: Wild, @Sabres, Senators
Breakdown: Without Johnny Boychuk and now Zdeno Chara for at least a month, the struggling Bruins are going to have even more issues. Dennis Seidenberg already plays an insane amount of minutes per game so they’ll need other defensemen to log extra time. They’re exactly at .500 – a record they aren’t used to seeing.
15. Ottawa Senators (4-2-1)
Last Week’s Ranking: 15
This Week’s Schedule: @Blue Jackets, Blackhawks, @Bruins
Breakdown: The attacks on the Parliament Building hit close to home for the Senators for obvious reasons. They did drop both their games this week, but managed to stay in the middle of the pack. Will be interesting to see how they battle going forward, but despite the losses they are still #OttawaStrong.
14. Calgary Flames (5-4-1)
Last Week’s Ranking: 23
This Week’s Schedule: Canadiens, Predators, @Canadiens
Breakdown: In there three games this week, the Calgary Flames only managed three points, but I can’t keep holding them back any longer. They are finding ways to get points even without the prettiest of rosters. It’s not going to be an easy week as they face off against the Canadiens twice and the Predators – both teams are top 5 in the league rankings.
13. Dallas Stars (4-2-2)
Last Week’s Ranking: 13
This Week’s Schedule: Blues, Ducks, @Wild
Breakdown: 2-1-0 this week, the Stars are still tempting fate with their lackluster defensive play. Lehtonen is proving to be a huge help to the team, bailing them out on a few occasions, but it’d be best for them to find someone other than Anders Lindback to back him up. Jason Spezza is fitting in nicely and is 2nd on the team in points behind Tyler Seguin. Other than the top three big-name forwards, it doesn’t seem the Stars are getting help anywhere else.
12. Vancouver Canucks (5-3-0)
Last Week’s Ranking: 18
This Week’s Schedule: Hurricanes, Canadiens, @Oilers, Predators
Breakdown: The Sedin twins and Radim Vrabata might be the hottest line in the NHL. Combined they have 31 points (11G, 20A). Quite impressive since the Sedin’s had their struggles last season. Let’s not forget Ryan Miller either, who currently posts a 5-1 record and gives the team a chance to win every game. This week they have two easy matchups (Hurricanes/Oilers) and two more difficult ones (Canadiens/Predators).
11. Minnesota Wild (4-2-0)
Last Week’s Ranking: 14
This Week’s Schedule: @Rangers, @Bruins, Sharks Stars
Breakdown: Easy week for Minnesota where they went undefeated in two games. Kuemper still looks like the real deal in net for the Wild, but the nicest part about their team is their balanced attack from all four lines. The team also just inked Charlie Coyle to a 5-year deal worth $16M. For what he brings to the table, that’s a steal for Chuck Fletcher.
10. Washington Capitals (4-2-2)
Last Week’s Ranking: 9
This Week’s Schedule: Red Wings, @Lightning, Coyotes
Breakdown: Barry Trotz is just what the doctor ordered for the Washington Capitals. He’s done a great job turning the once defenseless team into a responsible one and their record shows full well that they are capable of playing in all three zones. You don’t see it often when other players are outshining Alexander Ovechkin, but in this case they’re getting much needed help from their rookies.
9. San Jose Sharks (5-4-1)
Last Week’s Ranking: 4
This Week’s Schedule: @Avalanche, @Wild, Islanders
Breakdown: Not a good week for the San Jose Sharks who went 1-3-0. The Bruins converted on their chances, while the Sharks struggled in a 5-3 loss. The next game was against the Blue Jackets where the Sharks played extremely well, outworked Columbus, but ultimately lost by a goal in regulation. To add salt to the wound, the lowly Buffalo Sabres were outmatched and outclassed by the Sharks, but escaped the Shark Tank with a 2-1 victory. San Jose managed to pull out a victory last night, but other than that, there weren’t many positives to take away.
8. Pittsburgh Penguins (4-2-1)
Last Week’s Ranking: 6
This Week’s Schedule: Devils, Kings, Sabres
Breakdown: The Penguins can’t solve the Philadelphia Flyers when they play at home for whatever reason. They also blew a 3-1 lead against the Red Wings earlier in the week. The only good thing the Pens can hold onto is their 3-0 win against the Predators. The Penguins aren’t struggling, but their play this week knocked them down a few pegs.
7. Nashville Predators (5-1-2)
Last Week’s Ranking: 12
This Week’s Schedule: @Oilers, @Flames, @Canucks
Breakdown: Turns out Peter Laviolette fits like a glove in Nashville and they started the year with a bang. Boasting one of the best records in the league, Laviolette has turned the team around from a bottom feeder to a talented squad that can actually score. It also helps that in seven games played, Pekka Rinne has a 5-1-1 record with a 1.81 goals against average. A healthy Rinne goes a long way in making the Predators a great team.
6. New York Islanders (6-2-0)
Last Week’s Ranking: 8
This Week’s Schedule: Jets, @Avalanche, @Sharks
Breakdown: Garth Snow isn’t that bad of a general manager after all, eh? He’s made the shrewd, logical business moves Islanders fans have been waiting for and it’s paying dividends. Their blueline is now bolstered, their goaltending controversy is solved, and they’re spearheaded by one of the best players in the game – John Tavares.
5. Tampa Bay Lightning (5-1-0)
Last Week’s Ranking: 7
This Week’s Schedule: Coyotes, Flyers, Capitals
Breakdown: No Hedman…no problem. Even without their top Swedish defenseman, the Lightning are still managing to win. They did lose 7-2 to the Minnesota Wild on Saturday, but even top teams have bad games every so often. They’ll face off against the Coyotes and Flyers this week. Luckily for Tampa, they’ve had Philly’s number ever since the 2004 Eastern Conference Finals..
4. Montreal Canadiens (7-1-0)
Last Week’s Ranking: 5
This Week’s Schedule: @Oilers, @Flames, @Canucks, Flames
Breakdown: Another week and the Montreal Canadiens keep on trucking through the rest of the NHL. They have the best record in the NHL and are heading out to play their West Coast Canadian rivals. It’s not crazy to think they can continue their run with a 4-game sweep.
3. Chicago Blackhawks (5-2-1)
Last Week’s Ranking: 2
This Week’s Schedule: Ducks, @Senators, @Maple Leafs, Jets
Breakdown: Blackhawks went 2-2-0 this week, but they still remain one of the elite well-rounded teams in the league. Corey Crawford looks to be out of the lineup for some time, but Antti Raanta did well in his absense. Rookie goalie, Scott Darling, played incredibly well for his NHL debut in a 2-1 win against Ottawa last night.
2. Anaheim Ducks (7-2-0)
Last Week’s Ranking: 3
This Week’s Schedule: @Blackhawks, @Blues, @Stars, @Avalanche
Breakdown: The Anaheim Ducks were riding the hot hand in Frederik Andersen. The team was on a 7-game winning streak before it was halted last night by the San Jose Sharks. The Getzlaf/Perry combo is reeking havoc for opposing netminders as they are both tied for 2nd in points.
1. Los Angeles Kings (6-1-1)
Last Week’s Ranking: 1
This Week’s Schedule: @Flyers, @Penguins, @Red Wings, @Hurricanes
Breakdown: The Kings are sitting atop their mighty throne in back-to-back weeks. They’re riding a 6-game winning streak with no signs of slowing down. As I mentioned last week, ‘That 70s line’ is the new backbone of the team and they’re tearing up the NHL. With spotty defenses that the Flyers, Penguins, and Hurricanes have, I’m betting this will be another good week for Los Angeles.
Check back every Monday for new rankings!

Lawyers need every advantage they can get when representing clients against large corporations due to the limited resources and odds they frequently confront. In order to prevent a jury’s verdict from being influenced, it is necessary to watch out for witnesses and clients.
Attorneys should be cognizant of the use of video deposition when it comes to how their clients and witnesses appear to the jury. Stenographers used to write written deposition statements. The subject’s voice and image are present in the videotaped deposition, in contrast. Any nonverbal indicator, like as body language or physiological state, has the power to either support or refute the subject’s case. Because jurors will be able to observe any expression or seeming lack of emotion, the subject’s performance during a video deposition may have a substantial effect on the jury. Even the opposing attorney can learn about a client’s or witness’ nonverbal cues if the situation warrants it.
A client or witness should be prepared for a video deposition with the same amount of time and effort as they would for a live one by an attorney. The jury may place just as much weight on a witness’s and a client’s conduct during the video deposition as on their testimony.
To avoid the subject’s appearance excessively influencing the jury, the person should be professionally dressed and shot against a simple background. Additionally, the learner should be taught appropriate body language, such as how to stand upright and not slouch, fidget, or make too animated facial gestures. In addition, students should learn how to clarify a question when they are unclear about it.
The method testimony is presented to jurors has changed as a result of video depositions, but the way testimony influences a jury’s judgment has not. Client and witness preparation for video depositions is equally important to witness preparation for the witness stand. The following details can help lawyers comprehend how to assist their witnesses and clients in providing their best possible video testimony.

Ruler Vikram lifted Betaal over his shoulders and began strolling towards the incineration ground, where the sage was sitting tight for him. Not surprisingly, Betaal began off with a fascinating anecdote about a young lady and three suitors.
The story went this way: Long back there carried on a Brahmin, Agniswamy in the town Brahmasthala arranged on the bank of the stream Kalindi. He had just a single girl named Mandaravati. She was exceptionally very much prepped and to a great degree great to take a gander at. When she achieved an eligible age, Agniswamy began searching for an appropriate counterpart for her.Continue reading “The Three Admirers: Vikram Betaal Story”

A jogakbo is a style of patchwork, traditionally used to create domestic wrapping cloths (known as bojagi) from scraps of left-over fabrics. The art of making wrapping cloths has enjoyed a long history in Korea. During the Joseon dynasty (1392 – 1910), women, living in a male-dominated society and excluded from formal education, concentrated on domestic tasks such as weaving and embroidery. They produced costumes, beddings, and wrapping cloths for the whole household. Following the ideas of frugality and simplicity advocated during the dynasty, the left-over fabrics were not discarded, but would be used to create a jogakbo by patching those scraps together into larger squares or rectangles.
A jogakbo is comprised of scraps of one type of fabric, such as cotton, silk or ramie (a plant fibre native to eastern Asia which has a particularly lustrous appearance), hemp or even paper. The scraps are sewn together using a triple-stitched seaming technique known as gekki, which results in a sealed, flat seam and gives the jogakbo their distinctive 'window pane' appearance. Patches are joined into squares and extended in an irregular, improvisatory fashion until a cloth reaches the required size. The jogakbo can include several colours composing a modern abstract pattern, or be made of one single-colour, as seen in an elegant piece in our collection dating to the 1940s.
More recently, Korean textile artist Chunghie Lee has applied the jogakbo style to different components of a hanbok, the traditional Korean clothing. The woman's ensemble in our collection is composed of a jeogori, a jacket recognisable by the plain collar, short body and curving sleeve shape, and of a baji, a pair of loose-cut, relaxed trousers, replacing the habitual chima, the wrapping skirt. They feature bold areas of block colour – the fuschia-pink waistband and green, silk gauze jacket front – which contrast with colourful areas of patchwork executed in the traditional jokagbo style.
Also in our collection is a pair of decorative shoes by Chunghie Lee, made of multi-coloured geometric patches of stiffened silk gauze (sa and ra), sewn in the jogakbo style. With their upturned toes, they reflect the style of traditional Korean shoes (taesahye) worn by upper class men during the Joseon dynasty.
Lie Sang-Bong is another innovative Korean fashion designer who draws inspiration from traditional Korean textiles, as well as folk painting and calligraphy among others sources. In his Organza origami dress, Lie deconstructs the traditional jogakbo and reconfigures its 'scraps' of fabrics into a crisp, structural dress with bold graphics that wraps the wearer's body. His edgy yet feminine silhouette combines tradition and modernity, illustrating how jogakbo continues to be a source of inspiration today.

Toyota and Honda are expected to steal the show at next month’s Tokyo Motor Show with a number of high profile unveilings according to Japanese publication, Best Car.
Aside from the much rumoured Land Cruiser 300, the boxy Tj Cruiser that bowed in the Japanese capital as a concept two years ago will become a reality in preparation for its market debut in May next year.
Set to be based on the TNGA platform, the Tj will be offered as an MPV and a commercial vehicle with up to six seats depending on the configuration, with enough space to accommodate items measuring three metres. Accordingly, it will be powered by a normally aspirated 2.0-litre petrol engine and a 2.5-litre petrol/hybrid, both sourced from the RAV4, with the option of front-or-four-wheel-drive. A CVT will be the only transmission option.
While still to be confirmed, the Tj looks set to replace the Estima, better known as the Previa, that will bow out at the end of this year, but will be positioned below the flagship Alphard and its sportier Vellfire sibling in Toyota’s MPV line-up.
Although Toyota replaced the Japanese sourced Yaris with the controversially styled Thai model in South Africa two years, the former, known in Japan as the Vitz, will be all new when it debuts in Tokyo in terms of design and underneath its skin.
Only seen in a series of spy images undergoing testing thus far, the Vitz will be the first model underpinned by the new GA-B platform introduced last week, with reports alluding to it being more spacious than the outgoing model.
Engine options in Japan will include a normally aspirated 1.3-litre petrol and a 1.5-litre hybrid, all hooked to a CVT, with some models likely to have the option of four-wheel-drive. A GR Sport model, powered by a 1.5-litre engine, will reportedly be added in August. Sales of the Vitz will commence in February but don’t expect it to return to South Africa as a replacement for the Thai version.
Shown as a Daihatsu in Tokyo two years ago, the DN-Trec will reportedly become the next generation Terios, which has been sold as the Toyota Rush in South Africa since 2018 following Daihatsu’s market exit four years ago.
Returning to its mini-SUV roots like previous generations, the production DN-Trec will reportedly be powered by a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine producing 72kW/140Nm, hooked to CVT with drive either going to the front or all four wheels.
As it will be based on the TNGA platform, likely the same GA-B as the Vitz, the DN-Trec will go on sale in November this year in Japan, possibly as both a Toyota and Daihatsu, but it remains unknown whether it will replace the current Rush in South Africa.
Arguably one of the most important new models to bow in Tokyo, the long awaited fourth generation Jazz will finally make its unveiling before going on-sale in November.
As before, it will be known as the Fit in Japan and although little is known, the publication claims it will have the option of four trim levels, seven body colours, Honda’s Sensing range of safety and driver assistance systems and a more evolutionary design.
Up front, a choice of two petrol engines will be available; a normally aspirated 1.3 and a 1.5-litre hybrid equipped with Honda’s latest Integrated Motor Assist system that features a dual-mode battery similar to the Insight. While a CVT will be standard on the former, the hybrid will sport a new e-CVT with both set to offer the option of front-or-four-wheel-drive.
In certain markets, the Jazz could potentially receive the 95 kW 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine from the Civic, but according to a report from Britain’s Autocar last month, models sold on the Old Continent will be outfitted with the hybrid powerunit only.

Long live the news release
Twitter has never issued a news release. Amazon introduced the Kindle through a series of tweets. Google announced Alphabet via a blog post from Larry Page.
It’s not just the tech companies: Canada — yep, the country — sent out its last traditional news release on Dec. 31, 2013. Now, it offers social media releases instead.
Is the press release dead? Or does it just need a makeover?
1906: The release is born.
When Ivy Lee, a former New York Times reporter, issued the first release in 1906, The New York Times ran it in its entirety two days later.
Those days are over.
But while today’s communications and media would be virtually unrecognizable to Ivy Lee, today’s release would not. We’ve been cranking out the same old Ws, in the same old format, for more than 100 years.
Isn’t it time for the wake?
Cue the bagpipes: The release is dead.
Hey! Ivy Lee died on Nov. 9, 1934. Isn’t it time we buried the release, too? After all, releases:
1. Don’t rivet reporters. Nearly half of the editors and reporters surveyed by Greentarget received 50 or more releases. They spent less than a minute with each. Sometimes way less: “You’ve got three seconds to get my attention,” one journalist told Greentarget.
2. Aren’t great at gaining coverage. More than half of all traditional press releases distributed never get covered, according to PR Newswire’s own research. So where do stories come from?
- 68% of journalists surveyed by Greentarget get their story ideas from sources.
- 41% get ideas from other news outlets.
- Just 34% get them from releases.
3. Are often irrelevant. The biggest pet peeves journalists expressed in the Greentarget research are releases that don’t pertain to their beats or that aren’t relevant to the audiences they serve.
“I recently got a message from a reporter working at a small local paper who received 80 press releases in one day — of which only two were relevant to the information his paper covers,” writes digital communications strategist Jeremy Porter.
4. Don’t solve journalists’ and bloggers’ problems. Nearly seven out of 10 journalists believe their jobs have gotten harder over the past five years, according to a survey by media platform ISEBOX.
And no wonder: Layoffs have decimated newsroom staffs, and the journalists left standing are expected to produce online pieces as well as print. And finding multimedia to enhance those stories? That’s their job, too. The traditional press release just doesn’t deliver.
5. Have been eclipsed by services like HARO (Help a Reporter Out) or ProfNet, which provide fast, targeted access to sources and ideas. Might a service like Pitchengine.com be a better way to share your story?
And yet, the releases just keep flooding in: Wire services likePR Newswire and BusinessWire distribute an estimated 3,000 releases each day. And those numbers are increasing, according to PR Newswire.
Don’t pull the plug yet: Long live the release.
1. Journalists rely on releases. 70% of respondents surveyed in the Business Wire Media Survey said their jobs would be harder without press releases. And 88% in the Greentarget study said they found releases at least somewhat valuable.
These journalists use releases for reference, checking spelling, titles and other facts. And, on rare occasions — such as when they’re on deadline and can’t reach a source — they’ll even turn to releases for quotes. (And some of them, we know from experience, simply edit the release — or don’t — and use it as the story.)
2. Journalists do find story ideas in releases. One in three use releases for story ideas, according to the Greentarget study. That makes it the third source of story ideas — not the top — but a source nonetheless.
3. Journalists need help. Half of the journalists in the ISEBOX study produce at least five articles a week. One in five produce more than 11 articles a week. Releases — especially those with multimedia components — make life easier for journalists on deadline.
Plus, the right release can help you reach clients and customers directly, contribute to the social conversation and draw more visitors to your site.
Give that 109-year-old release a makeover.
So what’s the answer?
Remake the release. Write releases that:
- Are relevant and valuable to the journalist and his readers. Focus on “news you can use to live your life better” and tipsheets and other value-added story angles.
- Tell a story instead of just reporting facts. The traditional news release format, with its terse hierarchical blurtation of facts, is so tedious and dry, it makes folks’ eyes glaze over.
- Make it easy to read and use. Subheads, bullets and other display approaches make details easier for the reporter to read. Multimedia elements make the release easier to use.
How can you make over your next release?

Porter County officials shut down a Portage Township bridge Thursday, months ahead of its scheduled replacement because of its condition and have expedited its replacement.
The bridge carries Old Porter Road over Salt Creek in Portage Township, and borders Burns Harbor and Portage, county officials said in a release.
“It is structurally insufficient for vehicle and pedestrian traffic,” Matt Gavelek, the county’s senior highway engineer, said, adding the bridge was closed at noon Thursday in collaboration with bridge inspection engineers.
Officials with the city of Portage noted some structural deficiencies and called Gavelek and Bob Thompson, director of the county’s Department of Development and Stormwater Management, Gavelek said.
Almost two years ago commissioners listed the bridge, built in 1970 and never reconstructed, as one of three slated for rehabilitation or replacement as part of the county’s $30 million capital upgrade plan.

“Unfortunately, we are living in the largest disaster ever in Bahia’s history,” Bahia Governor Rui Costa announced Monday, who is overseeing the joint operation that was put into place on Saturday with the federal government and other states in the affected areas. ..
Dramatic scenes of flooded homes and streets turned into real rivers were repeated in the municipalities in the south of the state, which have been hit since Thursday by torrential rains that caused dams to burst and rivers to overflow at the weekend.
In Itapetinga, Idalicio dos Santos moved across the water between treetops in a small boat. “Today I have done this way at least twenty times, taking and bringing people,” he said.
AFP aerial photos of that municipality show three men paddling as they lie on an inflatable mattress face down, surrounded by houses with water reaching windows.
In nearby Itambe, resident Teola Almeida helped her mother rescue the few belongings that had not given up in the water. In some homes [a água] Its height reached 1.80 meters. I revealed that my mother’s house was about 1.40m in length, and was standing in front of a mountain of rubble.
The state’s latest displaced numbers nearly doubled on the balance sheet on Sunday: 62,796 people have had to leave their homes, more than half of whom need shelter, according to the Civil Defense and Protection Authority (Sudec).
In addition to the nearly two dozen deaths since the beginning of November due to rains in the state, 358 injured have been recorded so far. It is estimated that a total of 471,009 people were affected by the greater volume of rain resulting from the climatic “La Niña” phenomenon, which adds to the exceptional rainfall in a short period of time, according to specialists.
The number of affected municipalities has risen to 116, with at least 100 municipalities in a worrying situation, double the number recorded on Sunday, according to Sudec.
The city of Itapuna, where the last two deaths were recorded, suffered from the rise of the Cachoeira River. One of the dead, a young man of 21 years old, was swept away by the current; The other, a 33-year-old woman, died of a landslide, according to the state’s latest state report on Monday afternoon.
Trying to bring hope to the region, Governor Rui Costa said, “The waters at the head of the Cachoeira River are starting to drop. Even if it’s slow, the outlook is improving in the coming days.”
The governor announced social assistance for affected families, without elaborating, and special interest-free credits for merchants. The federal government has provided 20 million reais to flood victims, Citizenship Minister Joao Roma has reported.
Estael Sias, a MetSul meteorologist, said there was “a correlation” between the intensity of precipitation in the northeast and the La Niña phenomenon, which causes precipitation at higher than normal levels.
The aggravating factor is that the storm in recent days has joined the rain that swept the area a few weeks ago.
“There was a catastrophic scenario,” Seys said. It already rained heavily in November in Bahia and now it is raining again in an area that has not yet recovered from this excess of rain.”
In the past few hours, some municipalities have received an amount of water equivalent to an entire month. The capital, Salvador, for example, increased its historical average of 58 mm for the month of December fivefold through Friday, according to the city’s civil defense.

Mississippi’s lone abortion clinic is in the state capital of Jackson. The Mississippi legislature passed a law that required the doctors performing abortions at the clinic to have hospital admitting privileges for the safety of the women murdering their babies.
Last week, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the abortion clinic standards law. Had the law stood, it would have meant that the clinic would have to close its doors since none of the abortionists had hospital admitting privileges.
Herein lies the reason for the court’s decision, but in making their ruling, they left the door open for their decision to be appealed to the US Supreme Court, according to Anna Franzonello, the legal counsel for Americans United for Life. She read through the Fifth Circuit Court’s ruling and commented:
“The majority even striking down this law has to say that the Mississippi law does have a rational basis. So the Fifth Circuit has already ruled on what they say is essentially an identical law coming out of Texas on admitting privileges, and that was that it has a rational basis – which means there are reasons why the state would enact this for health and safety reasons for women.”
She commented further about the dissent ruling written by Judge Emilio Garza and told OneNewsNow:
“He really just points to the nonsense in the majority, and what the logical conclusion is that any state regulation would have to be struck down in Mississippi if the abortion clinic doesn’t want to comply with it because they’re so solely focused on the fact that this abortion clinic has to exist in Mississippi. That’s a really dangerous precedent at best.”
Franzonello’s final analysis of the court’s decision is that it is ‘ripe for an appeal to the US Supreme Court.’
Like so many other court rulings in the past decade or so, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on their agenda, rather than on the law. They claimed that abortion is a constitutional right, but it isn’t. There is nothing in the US Constitution or any of the Amendments that gives anyone the right to murder an innocent person. Furthermore, the Declaration of Independence states that every person has the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. Additionally, every state has laws against the murder of innocent people and there is no one more innocent or helpless than an unborn child.
Let me ask you a question: What is the difference between Adam Lanza, the psycho that shot and killed 20 kids and 6 teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School and an abortion doctor who murders hundreds of unborn children and an occasional mother?
The only difference is that the public sees photos of the kids and teachers murdered at Sandy Hook, but they don’t see the photos of the mutilated unborn babies ripped from the womb or the occasional mother who bleeds to death at an abortion clinic at the hands of an abortionist. I bet if photos of dismembered babies were shown to the general public as often as the photos of the Sandy Hook victims were, that abortion would be abolished in all of America. Don’t you think it’s interesting that abortion advocates go to such lengths to keep those graphic photos out of the public’s eye?
I hope that Anna Franzonello or some other pro-life attorney does appeal this case to the US Supreme Court and that the high court sees through the personal agenda of the Fifth Court of Appeals and uphold the Mississippi abortion clinic standards law and Mississippi’s last remaining abortion clinic closes its door for good!

The Academy Awards have scrapped Tiger Woods jokes that were to be performed by hosts Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin.
"Some of the Tiger jokes were deemed too rude," a source told the New York Post.
In other Oscars news, Avatar director James Cameron has reportedly said he doesn't mind Avatar jokes.
Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen along with Ben Stiller were expected to poke fun at Avatar at the show but the slot was cancelled.
It was rumoured that its had taken out of the schedule because the Award producers did not want to offend any of the nominees, but Cameron told E Online that thecancellation has nothing do with him.
"I don't know anything about that. I don't produce the Oscars. If they want to poke fun at Avatar on Sunday, that's OK by me," Cameron said.
"The Oscars are a celebration of movies. Even the gaffes and out-of-bounds stuff are all part of the fun."
In an interview with National Public Radio (NPR), Oscars producer Adam Shankman said that Cohen was in the running as host but the Academy decided it was "too big of a wild card."

I recently used Winchester Power Point Ammunition in my .270 Winchester to hunt for whitetail deer. The load that I choose to use in my .270 was the 150 grain Power Point. I had almost exclusively used 130 grain bullets, so I was interested to see how the rifle’s accuracy would be with using the 150 grain load. To put it simply I was shocked. The 150 grain Winchester Power Point load reliably shot into less than ¾ of an inch with three shot groups at 100 yards. Some three shot groups resulted in all the bullet holes touching. My long standing handload using 130 grain Nosler Ballistic Tips did not even perform this well all the time. To say that I was quite pleased with the accuracy of the Winchester Power Point factory ammunition would be an understatement. Also, this scope you can read about at https://adventurefootstep.com/nikon-rifle-scope-reviews/ has helped in improving my rifle’s accuracy even better.
The first day that I loaded my .270 with the Winchester Power Point found me in an old hay barn. From the barn I could see a few hundred yards in each direction in the open field. I could also look into a brushy hollow below the ridge top field. Early in the morning I spied what I decided was a 4 point or smallish 6 point in the brush. As I determined that the buck was smaller than what I wanted I decided to pass on the deer. As the morning progressed, a few does passed through the field but no other bucks made an appearance. As I had yet to take a deer that year, I decided that perhaps the little buck should be taken to help fill the freezer. He had continued to feed around the whole morning but had now worked his way to the top of a small ridge presented an unsafe shot and one through a considerable amount of brush. I moved to another location in the barn to try to get a better shooting angle, but the deer continued to stay on top of the little ridge. Finally he came down the ridge and presented a safe shot with little brush in the way. The buck stood quartering toward me.
After the shot the deer ran forward toward me, but out of sight into the hollow. I could hear him run, then slow to a walk in the thick brush. After a few minutes of silence I decided that he either died or had bedded down. I smoked a cigarette and gave the deer about 15 minutes before going to look. As I moved forward in the field toward the fence line, the deer shot out of the brush crossing the field in front of me. At this point I had a clear look at the antlers and they were much better than I thought. Firing twice as he crossed the field (embarrassingly I later realized that both shots were clear misses) I watched as the buck disappeared over the ridge. In amazement I walked toward where the deer left my sight. I found him just inside the fence of the field (and the property line!). My first shot, while not great, should have killed him more quickly. The bullet had hit a little far back and passed through without hitting any significant bone. The exit hole was not of impressive size either.
While certainly the shot could have been better, I am sure that my Nosler Ballistic Tip load would have performed better with the given shot due to its rapid expansion. In defense of the Winchester Power Point it is designed for larger game and the deer in my part of the country are fairly small. For use with larger whitetails and bigger game like elk or moose the Power Point should be ideal, but clearly the 150 grain is too tough to open up on smaller big game.
The Winchester Power Point ammunition is certainly an accurate loading for my gun. Be certain to choose the ideal bullet weight for your game animal and I am sure it will be fine. The Winchester Power Point Rifle Ammunition is available in most common calibers including the 30-30 Winchester, 30-06, 270 Winchester, 308 Winchester and others.

LONDON — Main global biodiversity loss may trigger sufficient financial harm by the tip of the last decade to severely minimize greater than half of the world’s sovereign credit rankings — together with China’s, the primary major study on the problem has warned.
The analysis revealed on Thursday by a bunch of British universities checked out a spread of situations, together with one the place a partial collapse of key ecosystems savaged nature-dependent industries corresponding to farming and fishing that some economies depend on.
It estimated that the detrimental impression would lead to 58% of the 26 nations studied going through not less than a one notch downgrade of their sovereign credit ranking.
As rankings have an effect on how a lot governments need to pay to borrow on the global capital markets, the downgrades would lead to between $28 to $53 billion of extra curiosity prices yearly.
“The ratings impact under the partial ecosystem services collapse scenario is in many cases significant and substantial,” the report stated, including that these extra debt prices would imply governments have even much less to spend and that issues like mortgage charges would go up.
The examine carried out by the College of East Anglia, Cambridge, Sheffield Hallam College and SOAS College of London exhibits that China and Malaysia would be most severely hit, with ranking downgrades by greater than six notches within the partial collapse state of affairs.
India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Ethiopia would face downgrades of roughly 4 notches, whereas nearly a 3rd of the nations analyzed would see greater than three.
For China, that drop in creditworthiness would add a further $12 to 18 billion to its yearly curiosity fee invoice, whereas the nation’s highly-indebted company sector would incur a further $20 to 30 billion.
Malaysia’s prices would rise between $1 to 2.6 billion, whereas its firms would have to cowl extra $1 to 2.3 billion.
“More importantly, these two sovereigns would cross from investment to speculative-grade,” the report stated, referring to what buyers often dub a better threat “junk”-grade credit ranking.
“Biodiversity loss can hit economies in multiple ways. A collapse in fisheries, for example, causes economic shockwaves along national supply chains and into other industries,” stated co-author Dr. Patrycja Klusak, affiliated researcher at Cambridge’s Bennett Institute and Affiliate Professor on the College of East Anglia. — Marc Jones/Reuters

Cecilia Chang, disgraced St. John's University dean, dead in apparent suicide
(CBS/AP) NEW YORK - Cecilia Chang, the disgraced St. John's University dean accused of using students as personal servants and stealing from the school, was found dead in her apartment Tuesday of an apparent suicide, a law enforcement official said.
Chang's body was discovered hanging from a folding ladder that leads to the attic in her Queens home Tuesday morning, one day after she testified in her own defense at her criminal trial, according to the official who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
The 59-year-old was the former dean of the Institute of Asian Studies and was charged in 2010 with stealing $1 million from the school and with forced labor. Federal authorities said she forced students to run personal errands for her and do mundane tasks like making meals at a veteran administrator's home or answering her personal emails, threatening to kick them out if they refused.
On Monday, Chang gave rambling, bizarre testimony where she admitted lying to an FBI agent, expensing personal items and using her students. She denied stealing from the school.
"I laid out so much money over the years," she said on the stand. "I raised $20 million for St. John's."
U.S. District Court Judge Sterling Johnson declared a mistrial in the case. Johnson called her death "a Shakespearean tragedy" and suggested her testimony Monday was a purposeful confession.
"That could be one of the reasons she wanted to testify," Johnson told the prosecutors and Chang's lawyers, according to the Daily News of New York and the New York Post. "Sayonara. Get it off her chest. We never know how an individual handles the pressure. She admitted everything on the stand."
Chang's attorneys Joel Cohen and Alan Abramson, who had objected to Chang's decision to testify in her own defense, said she dedicated 30 years of her life to the university.
"She was a prolific fundraiser and tireless advocate for her beloved Asian Studies program at the university," they wrote. "Her death today is a sad ending to a complex human drama."
The medical examiner's office will determine a cause of death.

The pressure used in the calculation of piping and piping components minimum section thickness.
One sample of each new type of hose assembly is to be subjected to a qualifying hydrostatic pressure test of the complete assembly, including end fittings, of five times the maximum system working 4692 or the hose assembly proof pressure, whichever is higher apart from hyperbaric hoses. Hose-Assembly Inspection Requirements However, for some hoses it represents the nominal ID and not the true ID.
That period of time starting from sbr of manufacture cure date and generally ending upon installation. Using fresh water or other appropriate liquid hose assemblies for water and gaseous systems shall be tested using fresh water abtapply the required hydrostatic pressure for a period of between one and five minutes.
When the hose is removed for scheduled maintenance testing the fire sleeve is to be removed and replaced with a new sleeve without dismantling the end fittings.
Prior to the fire sleeve repair, a limited maintenance inspection should be performed on the surface of the hose beneath the damaged area using the rejection criteria in the General Inspection Requirements listed above.
This date may mark an event such as system hydrostatic test, date system filled with fluid, system start up, etc. Hose 6942 pressure — rated.
All hyperbaric hoses, regardless of working pressure, shall be approved and have objective ahr evidence including traceability, cleaning iaw reference C and identification tags iaw paragraph In the absence of this data the hose should be tested iaw the instructions provided above. The specified work having been undertaken satisfactorily as indicated by written reports.
ABR Volume 2 Section 5. The hose must not burst, leak nor show signs of fitting separation. The pressure which exists in a system or sub-system when performing its normal function in which a hose or hose assembly may be installed. Where segmented socket fittings are used, ensure that the hose butts against the nipple shoulder and that the bolts and nuts, where used, are tight and the segments are evenly spaced.

The strength of bond between cured rubber surfaces or a cured rubber surface and a non-rubber surface. In these instances, any planned maintenance inspection and testing that is normally applicable to that item should be conducted prior sbr the item being put into service and xbr baseline for the planned maintenance periodicity should be set at that date.
The pressure at which rupture of the hose occurs. Spare Hose Assemblies Needle holes placed in the cover of a rubber or plastic hose intended for gas service to prevent the formation of blisters. Upon fabrication of a hose assembly, the entire assembly configuration shall be visually examined as follows: Following its presentation and receipt, the report.

It is not necessary to replace a hose if a few drops of paint 64492 on it, nor should any attempt be made to clean off dried paint as this may cause damage to the hose. Capital Equipment Procurement Manual 1. Irrespective of the 64492 obtained abf any other inspection, any of the following conditions shall be cause for rejection of rubber hoses: Minor cuts and abrasions to fire sleeves may be temporarily repaired using an approved fire sleeve tape under the following conditions: Page 15 of 16 Rubber Expansion Joints — Inspections The report is titled Acceptance into Service of Navy.
It may be necessary to uncouple the hose and remove the sleeve to facilitate inspection of the hose. These hose materials do not normally degrade from exposure to atmospheric conditions and they are not subject to any shelf or service life limitations, except where recommended by the manufacturer or as determined by periodic inspections and any ahr hydrostatic tests or as required in accordance with the appropriate planned maintenance requirements.
