Political parties are suppose to be peripheral to Democracy. The two Wall Street parties have been obedient to big business for a long time now. America has never been a Democracy and since Reagan we drifted far apart from the promise.
Richard Dreyfrus has become concerned about Civics. The Dreyfuss Civics Initiative is a non-profit, non-partisan organization that aims to revive the teaching of civics in American public education to empower future generations with the critical-thinking skills they need to fulfill the vast potential of American citizenship.
That is great, when I Graduated School 18, we received a book called the Great State Papers. It contained the Bill of Rights, U.S Constitution, and NJ Constitution. I have known for a long time now, Left Wingers and Right Wingers have no understanding or concern for Democracy. I had one year of Constitutional studies and Principals of Democracy. I have found generation after generation that those who say they are fighting for Democracy, do not even understand its essential values.
On his website, the Dreyfus Initiative he says: “The Civic Education we strive to implement is the teaching of American history, government, and civic values through the prism of the Enlightenment Era, which introduced protection of the individual, the people of a nation being the highest political power, due process of law, equality of rights and opportunity, rights of freedom of expression and worship, that were revolutionary in history.
Civic values such as civility, clarity of thought, and the importance of dissent are not inherited at birth. The ideas must be taught, and the younger the better. In light of the changing demands on the education system due to an increasing focus on Science, Math and other academics, civics has seen its allocation of time greatly diminished resulting in younger generations having little connection to our founding documents and political system.”
Dreyfuss has been outspoken on the issue of how the media influences the shaping of public opinion, policy, and legislation. In the 2000s, he expressed his sentiments in favor of right to privacy, freedom of speech, democracy, and individual accountability.
Civics is the study of the theoretical and political and practical aspects of citizenship, its rights and duties; the duties of citizens to each other as members of a political body and to the government.need quotation to verify. It includes the study of civil law and civil code, and the study of government with attention to the role of citizens ― as opposed to external factors ― in the operation and oversight of government.
The Town hall meeting is another example of civics. Town hall meetings allow government representatives and members of civil society in specific voting districts meet face to face to review issues and show support or opposition to initiatives. Meetings are publicly announced and attendance is open unless otherwise stipulated.
Since localities are, like the rest of the Government, a representational Democracy, it is apparent that government is run by small business men, not the people. The government allows for slum lords, slum lord welfare in hand outs. While the people get nothing. In a Government by and for the people the Democratic Process would allow the people easy referendum and power in the Government. It does no such thing. I have been fighting for rent control for years now. City Hall see’s no reason landlords cannot make money. as homelessness and poverty grows the people must take charge of government and make government work for us.
The Occupied movement failed because it had no goals and misplayed its strategy for change. If people where more involved and Government was receptive and open to varied ideas, things would change. The people need to demand Civics and Democracy taught in schools. The general sense of apathy and following with the business model, people vote against themselves. What change can occur?
It is difficult in an “All about money world”. Social capital is a form of economic and cultural capital in which social networks are central, transactions are marked by reciprocity, trust, and cooperation, and market agents produce goods and services not mainly for themselves, but for a common good.
The term generally refers to
(a) resources, and the value of these resources, both tangible (public spaces, private property) and intangible (“actors”, “human capital”, people),
(b) the relationships among these resources, and
(c) the impact that these relationships have on the resources involved in each relationship, and on larger groups. It is generally seen as a form of capital that produces public goods for a common good.
Social capital has been used to explain the improved performance of diverse groups, the growth of entrepreneurial firms, superior managerial performance, enhanced supply chain relations, the value derived from strategic alliances, and the evolution of communities.

Eating The Rainbow & Going Plant-Based
Why did you decide to pursue a career in nutrition?
I became interested in natural medicine from a very early age. While growing up in Europe, herbal medicine and traditional techniques like cupping were the mainstay of primary healthcare. My exposure to these therapies sparked a lifelong interest in holistic health.
What kind of training did you undergo/certification you received?
I decided to follow my passion and went on to attain a bachelor’s degree in Biology from York University. I then pursued my studies in the field of Naturopathic medicine at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. I also completed a twelve-month long internship at the Robert Schad Naturopathic Clinic, the largest facility of its kind in Ontario.
I also hold a special Naturopathic certification to practice Intravenous (IV) Therapy. In my practice I utilize a combination of techniques including acupuncture, botanical medicine, intravenous vitamin therapies, other injection therapies, supplements, as well as diet and lifestyle counseling for the most effective and individualized care. I am a general family practitioner with a special interest in integrative oncology, anti-aging medicine and hormonal health.
What do people look for in a health coach, nutritionist or dietician?
A health coach, nutritionist and dietician each have their own training and legalities that need to be followed. Once you know what each field can provide you, you’ll know what options suit your needs best. After selecting the type of practitioner, it is then helpful to read more about each individual practitioner's particular approach and areas of focus.
If you could persuade people to change three things about their diet, what would they be?
- Ditch the white stuff: avoid white pasta, white sugar, white bread, white rice, white flour products. These are typically highly processed, devoid of nutrients and detrimental to balanced blood sugar levels.
- Make half your plate veggies: a simple hack for healthy eating (and portion control) is to make sure at least half of your plate is veggies at each meal.
- Animals concentrate pesticides and pollutants in their bodies. Whenever possible choose organic meats, fish for your protein sources.
On the topic of diets, any weight-loss tips for our readers?
Limiting the amount of simple carbohydrates consumed is an effective weight loss strategy for many people. I often advise patients looking to lose weight to consume 2 meals per day consisting of vegetables and protein and at 1 meal per day to consume carbohydrates, vegetables and protein. This combined with avoidance of snacking between meals often leads to successful and sustainable weight loss.
How important is it to properly hydrating throughout the day?
There’s a lot more to hydration than just water. The advice to drink 8 glasses of water a day is oversimplified; what’s really important is how much of that water actually reaches your cells, and how your body uses it. Cellular hydration can impact how you feel in so many different ways! Cellular hydration can help you feel:
-More calm and focused
-Have clear, glowing skin
-Boost athletic performance
How much water should someone drink in a day?
While drinking “8 glasses a day” is the traditional answer, there are many factors to consider. Levels of physical activity, heat and humidity in the environment ,as well as the intake of any diuretic medications or foods all affects how much water our bodies need.
Plant based living is becoming more and more popular. When eating a mostly plant based / vegetarian diet, are there certain foods to focus on to make sure we’re getting enough nutrients and protein?
One of the most well researched diets for overall health and wellbeing is the Mediterranean Diet. While not exclusively vegetarian, the traditional "Mediterranean diet" is characterized by a high intake of vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes, and mainly unrefined, minimally processed grains; an abundant fat intake from virgin olive oil, a moderate consumption of fish and shellfish, a low consumption of meat and meat products; and, the consumption of wine during meals. Fermented dairy products (cheese and yogurt) can also be consumed in moderate amounts. While this type of eating pattern is not purely vegetarian, it is primarily, but not exclusively, a plant-based diet that allows for a low consumption of meat and meat products, fermented dairy, and a moderate consumption of fish.
It is a combination of these dietary factors, rather than the consumption of specific foods, which seems to provide many of the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet. Substantial evidence has verified the Mediterranean diet's nutritional adequacy, long-term sustainability, effectiveness for preventing heart disease, diabetes, certain cancers, maintaining healthy weight as well as increasing longevity.
Speaking of plant based, what are some of the benefits of drinking chlorophyll water / benefits of liquid chlorophyll?
Chlorophyll is the compound that makes plants green. It is responsible for helping plants absorb energy from sunlight during the process of photosynthesis. Consuming chlorophyll may have additional health benefits for humans such as improving liver detoxification, reducing inflammation and fighting anemia.
Best ways to boost your immune system?
Simple lifestyle optimization strategies are a great way to boost the immune system. For example engaging in at least 30 to 40 minutes of exercise every day helps strengthen your immune system by up-regulating virus-destroying T-cell and antibody response.
For people looking to add to their supplement regimen, Vitamins C, D and Zinc have all been scientifically shown to have a positive impact on the immune system.
What’s your favorite source of antioxidants that you recommend?
The best way to obtain antioxidant is through “eating the rainbow”. In fruits and vegetables, colour equals antioxidants, which help quench disease-causing free radicals. Aim for six to eight servings daily, plus a cup of cruciferous green veggies (such as broccoli, brussel sprouts and rapini) at least three times a week.
What’s one of your favorite organic/natural supplements or vitamins you recommended?
Many brands of supplements contain artificial colours, flavours and other various unhealthy ingredients such as polyethylene glycol and hydrogenated oils. Always make sure to choose professional brands that have undergone third party laboratory testing. The supplement label should clearly state that the product does not contain preservatives, artificial flavour or colour, yeast, soy, gluten or sugar as these can trigger sensitivity reactions in many people. As per our regulatory college Naturopathic Doctors are not permitted to provide specific supplement recommendations/endorsements outside of a doctor patient relationship.

Letters - March 30, 2017
CLUBAshamed of actions of my fellow manHow amazing that in the 21st century we still had a male dominated society in the form of a Conservative club which would not allow women on to the committee.
The article in the Gazette exposed the hideous behaviour of some of my sex, who would belittle and insult the women who tried to stand up to the abuse that was inflicted upon them.
As a liberated man, who has no desire to join in with this misogynistic behaviour, I do know that my knowledge of fighting for female equality comes from living, working, and socialising with women on a regular basis.
My current partner is a WITCH (woman in total control of herself) and I am grateful for her comfort, knowledge, discipline and intelligence, that supports me at all times.
After all, as the article pointed out, it was women suffragettes at the beginning of the 20th century that enabled working class men to secure voting rights, as well as for women.
It strikes me therefore that if Theresa May had been enrolled in the Tyldesley Conservative club, how would she have progressed her career in such a place?
We may never have heard of her! The answer of course is within the context of women having to engage with the struggle of fighting for equality for most of their lives.
They will of course fight back after having to endure the slings and arrows of male domination in all its forms! I for one will not be joining this club, but I wish the ladies well in securing their places onto the committee, you have struck another blow for freedom and equality and I wish you well.
Conservative club got off lightly
With reference to the article in the Gazette, regarding the fine imposed upon Tyldesley Conservative club, it would appear that the club got away lightly with the £35,000 fine imposed which included £9,000 compensation for the three defendants.
The fact that the club settled out of court signifies that when they were made aware of the illegality of their actions, they realised the error of their ways. The offence of discrimination under the sex discrimination act 2010 brought in specific changes to private social clubs, which the management of the club should have been aware of some seven years ago. Ignorance of the legal requirements to manage their club is no excuse in law.
The committee was clearly in breach of a classic case of victimisation, as women members were being treated differently to male members or were supporting someone who had made a complaint. These women have been subject to direct discrimination, because of being treated worse than someone of the opposite sex in a similar situation. Then there is harassment related to sex when someone makes you feel humiliated, offended or degraded.
I suspect therefore that as these women had been discriminated against for so long and the abuse of harassment had been allowed to continue, that had the matter come to a full hearing the fine and compensation would have been greater. As it is I would hope that the committee is forced to disband and disqualified from committee work in the future.
The only way to improve these male dominated social clubs is to instruct trustees and members to read the act and made aware of their responsibilities before taking office.
Facts prove the opposite
I am amazed at Helen Rimmer’s statement that Lancashire folk “don’t want fracking” .
I was born and bred in the county and can state I, for one, welcome fracking.
If her statement is correct, why aren’t the majority of the county out protesting against the technology?
I have taken the time to read up both sides of the argument.
Having done so, I am not inclined to side with the Friends of the Earth argument.
So Ms Rimmer, please refrain from saying Lancashire residents “don’t want fracking”.
You may wish this to be true but facts prove the opposite.
We’ll be thanking protesters one day
I would like to thank all the protesters for not allowing Cuadrilla too easy a ride as it’s set to ruin our countryside for their own private profit.
What good has the Morecambe Bay gas field ever done for the West End of Morecambe or for Barrow? Nothing.
Fracking will bring no good things to the Fylde coast - moreover if we just sit back and let this roll over us it will irreparably harm our farming and tourism.
So I applaud the protesters .
We’ll be thanking them one day rather than moaning about traffic congestion.
Preserve our green areas for the future
Once the green areas are gone, they are gone for many years, possibly lifetimes.
It’s essential to make sure developers are not destroying forest and parkland in order to meet such targets.
Quality of life, fresh air and nature activities is very important to the health of the population. Nature is an asset that should not be neglected.
Some areas of the country have almost continual towns, like “the black country”, with little or no park areas or nature.
There are many old and decaying buildings that could be built on and developed first, even though the profits might be less.
This would preserve the quality of life and green belts, which should be of primary importance.

With a truly legendary transformer-balanced preamp and the flexibility of variable Silk / Texture, the 511 was designed by Rupert Neve to provide classic sonic performance with 500-series value. Incorporating the pristine preamp circuitry from the 517, the universally useful sweepable high pass filter from the 5012, and the sweetness of the variable Silk circuit derived from the flagship Portico II Channel, the 511 is a workhorse for all your most important tracks.
Designed for 500 Series by Mr. Rupert Neve
Rupert Neve: "While creating functional 500 series modules is relatively simple, designing those modules to equal their non-500 series counterparts with the current, voltage and space restraints is quite challenging. In creating our Portico 500-Series Modules, we experimented with a number of different transformer and circuit designs to achieve the same presence and sweetness found in the Portico Series of modules. The result of these efforts is that outside of the slightly lowered headroom, our 500 series modules are nearly indistinguishable from standard Portico Series modules, and are perfectly suited for studios of the highest caliber."
Input signals may be derived from Mic or Line sources (make sure 48V is off for line sources!). The input has a 10K ohm non-reactive input resistance that handles a full 22dBu signal without the need for a pad. The pre-amp is a TLA non-reactive design that precludes the loading of microphones with limited driving capability. A primary gain control provides 66dB of gain in 6dB increments for easy recall, with a +/- 6dB trim for fine adjustment. For condenser microphones and powered DIs, there is +48V phantom power. A transient-optimized HPF continuously covering the range from 20-250Hz is included to tame rumble and proximity effect.
One of the key developments in the 511 is the Red Silk / Texture control from the Portico II Channel. Building on the "Silk" mode found in the Portico Series mic pre-amplifiers, Texture is designed to adjust the actual amount of harmonic music content from the source material, in effect, providing wide range of tonal options for the preamplifier. Like the original Portico Silk, the Silk Red / Texture works by reducing negative feedback on the output transformer and adjusting the frequency response to more closely resemble Mr. Rupert Neve's vintage designs. With the 511, the Texture control allows these techniques to be pushed further than previous designs, adding about 10 times the desirable THD of the original silk control at the maximum setting.
With that said, they have taken great care to ensure that the musical integrity of source material itself will not be compromised by these harmonic controls (these are not to be confused with controls from other manufactures that may "incinerate", "demolish" or "destroy" source material), and we believe they can be confidently modified to fit the personality of any song, instrument or engineer.
Low Noise, Low Distortion Operation
Much care was given in designing the 511 to produce as little noise and non-harmonic distortion as possible. Carefully implemented signal paths and Class A operation are a large part of the 511's sweet, whisper quiet performance.

Palliative carepalliative care is defined by the world health organization (who) as “the active total care of the patients and their families by a multi-professional team at a time when cure is not an option and life expectancy is relatively short. Principles the following principles have been informed by research-based evidence, the aci framework for the statewide model for palliative and end of life care service provision, outcomes from the consultations and diagnostic work undertaken by the aci palliative care network and key policies and guidelines.
Introduction hospice care is a model and philosophy of care that focuses on providing palliative care to patients with life-limiting illness, focusing on palliating patients’ pain and other symptoms, attending to their and their family’s emotional and spiritual needs, and providing support for their caregivers. Hospice history and philosophy• principles of hospice care – the family is the unit of care – care is provided primarily in the home, but can also be provided in free- standing hospice facilities, hospitals, and nursing homes. The statement of principles of palliative care is an evolutionary step beyond the american college of surgeons' 1998 statement of principles guiding care at the end of life it describes extending palliative care to a broad range of patients receiving surgical care.
Our lady’s hospice & care services strives to offer world-class, professional, loving and person-centred specialist palliative care to people with life-threatening illness who are approaching the end of life. Principles for palliative and end-of-life care in residential aged care 3 principles the following principles reflect the views of palliative care australia, alzheimer’s australia, cota australia. Focusing on the similarity in philosophy between palliative care and mental health practice, it incorporates: person-centred practice relationship-based connectedness a belief in compassionate care respect for autonomy and choice quality-of-life issues. Individual module session target audience qualified health care staff engaged in the care of individuals in the palliative or end stage of life.
And philosophy of palliative care: an interdisciplinary perspective, this module will facilitate the student to develop an in-depth critical analysis of the structure and functioning of the irish health care system with particular reference to irish palliative care service provision. Principles of palliative care content this module outlines the principles of palliative care needed to provide quality care, across various health care settings, to people with life-limiting illnesses and their families. The ethical principles of nonmaleficence, beneficence, and autonomy require that hospitals better integrate the palliative care philosophy into the cure-focused health care system by developing high-quality, in-patient palliative care services. Hospice programs provide state-of-the-art palliative care and supportive services to individuals at the end of their lives, their family members and significant others, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in both the home and facility-based care settings. Palliative care principles which apply to all care, whatever the disease suffered by a patient palliative techniques or therapies include medical and surgical therapies or procedures (eg stenting, paracentesis, internal fixation of fractures and radiotherapy) that are employed to palliate symptoms and ease suffering but are only a small part.

Re: [nafex] good stuff, perhaps

like apple pies are better with at least 3 varieties, we find the full real

that most of the varieties we grow are best if left on the bush several days
after they are fully blue...they tend to sweeten up a bit.

“Film is a battleground,” director Sam Fuller famously said. But what happens when you’re literally trying to make films in the middle of a war zone?
In Sonia Kronlund’s fascinating behind-the-scenes documentary Nothingwood, we are introduced to the life and work of Salim Shaheen, an actor/director/jack-of-all-trades who may be the most prolific filmmaker in Afghanistan, if not the entire world.
About to embark on his 111th production, the exuberant cineaste — who looks like a cross between Gerard Depardieu and Steven Seagal (with his craft clearly inspired by the latter) — travels to a remote mountain village to shoot a project that seems to be part autobiography, part B-movie kitsch and part Bollywood fantasy. And like for most of his 110 other films, Shaheen is making this one with a few close friends (many of them war veterans like himself) who serve as both cast and skeleton crew, as well as a small video camera, a few Kalashnikovs and a box of live ammunition.
The results look schlocky to say the least, but, as Kronlund reveals early on in her crowd-pleasing portrait of the man, Shaheen is a true hero in his homeland, making movies at a time when you can risk your life for doing so — either by becoming a target of the Taliban or stepping on a landmine. Surprisingly enough, even the former seem to accept Shaheen’s star status, with one ex-Taliban fighter confessing that a DVD black market exists among the insurgents for his movies.
Kronlund, who is the voice behind the long-running public radio program Les pieds sur terre (a sort of French cousin to This American Life), chronicles her subject with a mix of generosity and slight skepticism. She lets the overzealous director brag about his exploits and his honest passion for film, including an origin story involving a wartime massacre and a movie camera that may either be reality or pure myth.
Indeed, Shaheen’s large body of work, however amateur-like it may seem, often toes the line behind truth and fiction, with the director playing the heroic lead of movies dealing with the plight of a nation that’s been mired in one conflict or another for almost four decades now. “We spilled our blood for Afghan cinema,” he explains at one point, and while the blood in his productions is only a prop — it’s actually fresh chicken blood mixed with some water — the looming prospect of death is very real indeed.
In one memorable sequence, Shaneen and his accolades recall the time when a rocket exploded in one of their homes and left them all injured and shell-shocked. Another scene, shot in the Bamyan Province in central Afghanistan, has the crew exploring one of the sites where the Taliban dynamited a giant 4th century statue of Buddha, leaving behind a gaping hole in the ruins.
If Shaheen’s movies can look supremely fake, the violence that surrounds them is not, and Kronlund intercuts news footage to reveal the deadly attacks taking place in nearby towns and cities. When, at one point, she worries aloud that a neighborhood they are visiting may be too dangerous, the director laughs her off and says they’ll be fine — and that if they do all wind up dying, then it was God’s will. So much for the safety protocol.
While Shaheen remains the center of Nothingwood — whose title evokes the utter poverty of Afghan movies compared to those of Hollywood, Bollywood and even Nollywood — he’s nearly upstaged by one of his lead cast members: the highly flamboyant Qurban Ali, whose specialty is portraying female characters in productions where women are a rare commodity.
The actor, who otherwise leads a typical home life, is already a star on local TV, where he plays women in instructional programs that have an almost feminist bent to them. (Kronlund is particularly interested in this side of things, and also seems a bit critical of Shaheen for keeping his two wives and many daughters stashed away when she pays a visit to his house one afternoon.)
In the end, you can’t help but admire Shaheen’s work despite its Ed Wood-esque quality, because the pleasure it brings to the local population — a population deprived of movies the rest of the world gets to see — is worth way more than the judgment of any film critic. At one point early on, the star describes his vocation as “saving the weak,” and soon after we see him getting out of his van to help push a car down the road. Kronlund intercuts that scene with one from a Shaheen movie where he lifts up a car Hulk-like and tosses it aside. It looks as fake as your cheesiest ‘80s-era action stunt, but when the impulse behind it is genuine and the audience can feel it, what does it matter?

Vaccine to Curb Cocaine Addiction is 'Not a Magic Bullet'
Many people do not see cocaine dependency as a comparable addiction to alcohol or heroine. Partly, this is because it is often seen purely as a recreational drug and partly, because addiction to cocaine does not necessarily manifest in the same physical ways.
Cocaine is also often perceived as having a higher status than other addictive substances. However, 'coke' as it is commonly known, does have its own addictive properties, and just the occasional use of the drug can put even young, healthy people at increased risk of heart problems or a stroke.
Now, a new study is looking into how a vaccine could be created to help cocaine users curb their addictions. Dr Keith Humphreys, a professor of psychiatry at Stanford University and a former senior policy adviser in the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, wrote in the Wall Street Journal earlier this month about experiments to use the body's own immune system as a weapon in the fight against the drug's addictive properties.
According to the professor, the idea for this method of combating addiction came about as early as the 1970s, but it was until 2009 that a groundbreaking clinical trial revealed evidence that it could actually work.
"Thomas Kosten of Baylor College of Medicine and his colleagues tested a vaccine that combines molecules of cocaine with a harmless component of cholera. Sensing what appears to be an emerging infection, the body generates an immune response to the cholera that extends to the cocaine," he wrote.
Continued on the next page
"At the end of the trial, patients whose bodies generated a strong immune response to the vaccine had almost 30 per cent more cocaine-free drug tests than did patients who generated a weak response or who received a placebo."

Social Media Monitoring vs. Social Listening
Social media marketing is still relatively new and we’re all learning as this marketing channel continues to blossom and boom. Just like any other industry, SMM operates in both more straightforward and more complex ways.
What’s the difference between social media listening and social media monitoring (and why does it matter)?
Here’s a convenient table of all the differences:
Social Media Monitoring
Social Media Listening
Understanding Scale: Micro vs. Macro
Business Goals: Specific vs. Diverse
Both include direct interactions with people and both aim to help and please either existing or potential customers. Essentially, you can set two business goals to benchmark your social media monitoring efforts: customer satisfaction and conversions.
What’s unique about social listening is that its possible applications are extremely diverse. You can set a myriad of businesses goals for your social media listening strategy.
These goals can be raising brand awareness, modifying your product based on the competitors’ strategies, carrying out a successful marketing campaign that corresponds with your target audience’s values, etc.
Approach: Reactive vs. Proactive
Majority of the articles centered around social media monitoring start with the same, lame scary story of an unhappy customer being ignored by a company. Or, you sometimes receive a happy story, where a customer got a response in no time and noticed such excellent social media support. Brava!
While both these stories have a completely different outcome, they still have a common thread – they illustrate the reactive approach to social media. The principle of the reactive approach lies in being pre-emptive, meaning you need an instigating message to react or respond to. Even the process of social selling (when you use social media monitoring to find potential customers on social media) requires a post from a user indicating their interest in a certain product to respond to.
Obviously, the reactive approach is extremely important, we don’t think we need to tell you about the perils of ignoring your customers. What social listening allows you to do is to gather all these individual posts from people, see the bigger picture, and act on it.
For example, social media monitoring may enable you to help a customer with a pair of speakers not working properly, and social listening allows you to notice that the highest number of mentions you get is about wireless speakers, and make a conclusion that those are pretty popular.
Moreover, the social data you analyze doesn’t have to be based on your mentions. You can get tons of valuable insights by listening to conversations about your competitors, your customer’s needs, recent events in your industry and so on. Social media listening fuels new ideas and shows you the course of actions you need to take to improve your businesses — that’s why it’s proactive.
Tools: Manual vs. Automatic
Social media monitoring is not a new. Even if you haven’t heard the term before, you are probably already taking these actions on a regular basis: you probably check your notifications and direct messages daily to see if anyone has reached out. This is social media management 101 and can be done manually, meaning, you don’t need any specific tools to find and respond to these mentions.
Native search capabilities of the social media platforms even enable you to look for misspellings and untagged mentions of your company to make sure you don't miss a single customer trying to communicate.
We’re not saying that you don’t need a social media monitoring tool at all. Automation and integration is the key. Utilizing a tool enables you to:
Also note; study after study shows that your response time is extremely important when it comes too engaging with customer’s — people literally expect to be answered within an hour. To further establish the point, if you get more than just a couple of mentions a day, a social media monitoring tool becomes essential — it’s impossible to deal with the influx of customer’s posts without it.
Social listening, on the other hand, is impossible without a social listening tool. You simply cannot gather large amounts of data and analyze it manually; life just doesn’t work like you’ve taken the limitless pill. According to research conducted by Forrester, 52% of social listening tool users considered social data analysis their top challenge. So utilizing such tools allow you to collect and analyze social data that is not directly related to your company, which proves to be vital for marketing research.
You can’t see patterns and trends just by looking at raw data. The true power of social listening lies in analysis and data visualization, which is done by a social listening tool. For example, the standalone number of mentions you get every day won’t tell you much, but if you look at the graph depicting the overall change in the number of mentions during the last quarter, the changes in your brand awareness level will be visible immediately. Your social media third eye awakes from its dormancy.
A social listening tool is what makes the meaning behind numbers visible, so trying to do social listening without a tool is like trying to cook without pots and pans.
We’ve laid out this dichotomy between social media monitoring and social media listening to illustrate their differences clearly, but the thing is, you can and should do both simultaneously AND with just one tool. Some tools that work with social mentions emphasize either monitoring or listening in their functionality, but the best of them offer features that enable you to do both at the same time.
Social Media Monitoring Workflow
Needless to say, the first step for both monitoring and listening should be setting up alerts. An alert may contain several keywords and keyword combinations as well as some conditions. Let’s say you want to find mentions from a specific country. For monitoring, you’re probably going to set up an alert for your brand name. Don’t forget to include abbreviations, misspellings, and your social media handles.
You can then automatically sort conversations in chronological order so you can address the latest right away. You be able to get involved in these conversations right away. This also helps with lead generation as you can gauge a prospects interest in your product or brand’s services.
Social Listening Workflow
The first step is pretty similar: you need to create an alert. As we mentioned above, you can utilize social media listening in many different ways and they all come down to keywords you’ll choose to monitor. Your alert can contain:
You should now be aware that the question of social media monitoring vs. social listening isn’t a question at all, but rather two sides to the same coin. Both should be a part of your social media strategy and both are easily done with if you work with us.

Fashion chain Next joined the list of Christmas retail winners as it said sales over the festive season had been "significantly" better than expected.
The group hiked its profits forecast for the second time in just over two months after the robust performance, with pre-tax profits for the year to January 25 now expected to surge by up to 12.6%.
Sales across its stores leapt 7.7% higher between November 1 and Christmas Eve, while it said revenues surged by 21% in the Next Directory catalogue and online division.
Next's bumper trading update comes as department stores John Lewis and House of Fraser enjoyed soaring sales over the Christmas trading period, while rival Debenhams was forced to issue a shock profits warning.
Next offered cheer for investors as it said it would pay out £75 million in special dividends worth 50p a share and return a further £300 million to shareholders over the year ahead following its bumper year so far.
It now expects to earn between £684 million and £700 million in its full year, up from a previous range of between £650 million and £680 million.
Next put its strong Christmas performance down to better ranges of knitwear, nightwear and gifts, as well as an increased confidence in online deliveries seeing shoppers buy over the internet right up until the weekend before Christmas.
It said: "It seems likely that the economy will continue to steadily improve with strong employment numbers driving a general recovery. However, the problem of little or no growth in real earnings looks set to persist for some time.
"We are also wary that any return to significant economic growth is likely to result in rising interest rates which, in turn, is likely to moderate spending of those with mortgages."
Next, which currently has around 500 stores, plans to expand its retail space by 4% on a net basis over 2014, while also growing its online offering in the UK and overseas. It plans to launch a site in China this year.

Updated at 6 p.m. to reflect that the location for a protest Saturday has been moved.
Dallas city officials want a court’s permission to remove the Confederate War Memorial in Pioneer Park.
The city attorney’s office Wednesday filed an emergency motion with the Texas Fifth District Court of Appeals in Dallas, saying that if the 65-foot obelisk is not removed from downtown and ends up being toppled during ongoing protests in the city, it “could seriously injure anyone nearby,” the motion said.
The city had planned to deploy additional police resources for a demonstration that had been anticipated this weekend at the monument near City Hall and the downtown convention center.
Dallas officials learned Thursday that the planned demonstrations were moved, and the city updated the courts, city spokeswoman Roxana Rubio said.
The Dallas City Council in February 2019 voted to remove the Confederate War Memorial, a display of a soldier surrounded by Confederate President Jefferson Davis and his generals: Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson and Albert Sidney Johnston.
But the court blocked the city based on a lawsuit filed by Return to Lee Park, a group led by former City Council candidate Warren Johnson and represented by Arlington attorney Warren Norred.
In a separate appeal to the Texas Supreme Court, Senior Assistant City Attorney Charles Estee wrote that the monument is seen as a “glorification of racism," and that the elected officials’ decision to remove the obelisk is intended to prevent it from becoming a focus of anger. The city also intends to preserve the monument, the letter said.
“Its continued presence as required by the temporary injunction only increases the possibility of its destruction,” Estee wrote. “While it will obviously take time to remove the monument, an immediate ruling by this court that the city is permitted to remove the monument will go a long way in healing the wounds of systemic racism that exists in the country."
The letter comes amid a nationwide backdrop of protests against police brutality and racism, but also the removal of monuments of Confederate leaders and Christopher Columbus. Some of the monuments were toppled by protesters Wednesday, including one of Davis in Richmond, Va. In Portsmouth, Va., four Confederate monument soldiers were graffitied and beheaded. In the toppling of one of the figures Wednesday, a man was knocked unconscious after it hit him in the head, according to The Virginian-Pilot.
A Robert E. Lee statue in Dallas was removed from Oak Lawn Park in 2017, auctioned for $1.4 million and placed in a golf course on the border of Mexico. A statue of the Texas Ranger at Dallas Love Field was removed last week.
The order to pause the removal of Pioneer Park’s Confederate monument was issued in July 2019 by Justice Bill Whitehill of the Texas Fifth District Court of Appeals. It came after Norred filed an emergency stay to stop the removal of the 122-year-old Frank Teitch sculpture.
The city’s current filing asks the court to reconsider dissolving its temporary injunction. Both the Court of Appeals and Texas Supreme Court have asked Norred for a response, according to the city.
Norred didn’t respond to requests for comment Thursday.
Jennifer Scripps, director of the city’s Office of Arts and Culture, said Wednesday night that NASCAR’s recent decision to ban the Confederate flag at events “speaks volumes” about how harmful the symbol can be and validates the city’s moves.
She said she wished the city could’ve worked more quickly on the Confederate monument.
“Obviously we wish it had come down when everybody wanted it to,” Scripps said. “It’s working its way through the courts.”

Alright, I'm just going to come out and say it. Damien Darhk is not now, nor has he ever been, a very nice guy. Ever since he set foot in Star City he's been hellbent on destroying it. (All for the "good of the world," of course.) And after an entire season of watching him rise to power and flex his magical muscles, it appears as though this Big Bad may actually be gone for good... or is he? Did Damien Darhk really die in the Arrow Season 4 finale? After all, if these superhero shows have proven anything, it's that death doesn't always have to be a permanent thing, especially when you bring supernatural elements into the equation.
A few weeks back Oliver discovered that if he was able to take in enough hope and light, it could counteract Darhk's magic so that he'd be immune. Granted, his hope alone wasn't enough to do the job after Darhk consumed so many souls after the Havenrock incident, but thanks to Oliver's rousing speech to the people of Star City, their combine hope was enough to finally give Oliver the upper hand he needed to face Darhk in an actual fair fight.
In the end, good triumphed over evil (as we knew it would) and Oliver made the decision — for the good of the city and the world in general — to take Darhk down once and for all. He stabbed Darhk in the chest with an arrow, supposedly killing him. But is that really the end to Darhk's story? With so many shows in the DC Universe being connected, it's hard to say if this is the last we'll ever see of this Big Bad. For the time being, though, it seems like Team Arrow is free from Darhk's wrath. Let's just hope it'll stay that way come Season 5.

The arrival of a former a former San Francisco quarterback may mean better production from Kansas City’s tight ends.
Alex Smith heavily relies on tight ends in the passing game, especially in the red zone. Of Smith’s 30 touchdown passes the last two years, nearly half were caught by tight ends. A third of the 30 were caught by tight end Vernon Davis. In the last two seasons Davis has accumulated 108 catches for 1,340 yards while averaging 12.4 yards per reception, and was used heavily in the redzone where he caught six of his 10 touchdowns. Another four touchdowns were caught by Delanie Walker.
Smith uses tight ends a lot as a safety blanket in the middle of the field and as a weapon in the redzone. In 2011, Smith’s last full season, Davis was targeted 95 times, down from the 129 times he was targeted in 2009 (Smith started 10 games that season). Last season Davis had 41 targets through nine weeks before Smith went down with a concussion. When Colin Kaepernick took the reigns, Davis saw his targets drop and totaled just 61 for the season. In fact, Davis caught just one touchdown from Kaepernick and had just 11 targets in the final six games of the season.
Moeaki has in many ways not lived up to the expectations lauded on him by fans after he was drafted in 2010. In his rookie year he hauled in 47 passes on 72 targets for 556 yards and three touchdowns. While he wasn’t quite the weapon many hoped for there was at least some promise. Then he tore his ACL in the final preseason game against Green Bay in 2011 and missed the entire season. His production slipped in his return in 2012, catching just 33 passes on 56 targets for 453 yards and just one touchdown.
Injury concerns with Moeaki and the need for depth at the position led to Kansas City signing Anthony Fasano shortly after free agency opened up.
Fasano isn’t known for making a lot of catches in the passing game, but he has been very useful in the redzone. Fasano has 24 career touchdowns on just 205 receptions in seven seasons. Of his 24 touchdown receptions, 20 have come in the redzone. He has also showed an ability to be effective in a passing attack that lacks weapons, last year being the best example when he led the Miami Dolphins with five touchdowns.
The other factor is the offense Andy Reid is bringing in to Kansas City. Brent Celek, the tight end for the Philadelphia Eagles the last six seasons, has caught 237 passes for 2,977 yards and 18 touchdowns in the last four years. This even though Philadelphia has had weapons like LeSean McCoy, Jeremy Maclin and DeSean Jackson on the field at the same time. Reid isn’t going to run his offense through the tight end position but he is going abandon it. With addition of a quarterback who loves to throw to the tight end, Reid may go that direction even more than normal to open up space for Jamaal Charles, Dwayne Bowe, and others to run around.

LA PAZ – Bolivia’s interior minister and customs chief on Friday presented a cache of 75 military-grade weapons found hidden inside a shipment of agricultural equipment from the United States.
Carlos Romero and the head of the customs service, Marlene Ardaya, displayed the arms at a press conference in the eastern city of Santa Cruz, the shipment’s intended destination.
The consignment comprised 34 long guns – including assault rifles – and 41 handguns manufactured in the US, Russia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Romania.
Found along with the weapons were $46,000 worth of mobile phones.
Authorities arrested the driver of the delivery truck, the intended recipient of the shipment, and two other people.
The government has not disclosed the names of those in custody.
“We have to find out what was the aim of this importation into Bolivian territory and who are the members of this criminal organization,” Romero told reporters.
The cargo left Port Everglades, Florida, on Nov. 22 aboard a vessel that made stops in the Dominican Republic and Peru before reaching the Chilean port of Arica on Jan. 7, from where it traveled by truck to landlocked Bolivia.
Romero called it noteworthy that the arms were shipped from the US and that the guns went undetected until it reached Bolivia.
The Bolivian customs service was tracking the cargo from the day the ship left the US, according to the government.
Santa Cruz, Bolivia’s wealthiest and most-populous city, is the hub of a movement in favor of the secession of four eastern and southern provinces known collectively as the “half-moon.”
Those regions, which hold 85 percent of the natural gas reserves that represent the impoverished Andean nation’s most valuable resource, are led by a mainly white class of agri-business and energy magnates, while indigenous people are the majority in Bolivia as a whole.

At least 20 people were killed in a major battle in western Afghanistan’s Farah Province, when attackers ambushed a NATO supply convoy in the mountains. One Afghan soldier and five security guards were killed, and the Afghan Army says 14 attackers were also slain.
This was the low end number, apparently, as the Afghan National Police claimed “more than 30 terrorists” were killed in the clashes, and added that many of them were armed with rocket-propelled grenades.
The convoy was apparently heading south, going from Farah and Herat Province on the way to a NATO base in the Helmand Province. The Taliban claimed to have lost only five fighters, but also insisted that they killed 40.
NATO was not directly involved in the fighting, but did launch air strikes against the site of the clashes. They insisted only that “no civilians had been killed” in the strikes.

CDC notes facts on which mosquitoes spread virus, what symptoms to watch for and how the virus may be transmitted.
Image Copyright: Shutterstock/Chik_77The Aedes mosquito species is the primary transmitter of the Zika virus to humans, according to the CDC. The Aedes species mosquito (A. aegypti and A. albopictus) are the same mosquitoes that spread dengue and chikungunya viruses.
These aggressive daytime biters (which also bite at night) typically lay their eggs in or near standing water.
Skin rash is among the symptoms of Zika virus disease, according to the World Health Organization. Other symptoms include mild fever, conjunctivitis, muscle and joint pain, malaise or headache. These symptoms typically last from two to seven days.
Zika also is spread in other ways. A pregnant woman can pass Zika onto her fetus or newborn at the time of birth. The virus can also be spread by a man to his sex partners. And while there have not been any confirmed blood transfusion cases in the United States, there have been reports of blood transfusion cases of the Zika virus in Brazil, according to CDC.

What New York Rangers Must Do to Hit Their Stride Going into the Playoffs
With just three games remaining in the NHL season, the New York Rangers currently sit in eighth place in the Eastern Conference with 52 points. What must they do the rest of the way to not only make the playoffs, but to also hit their stride?
There are many encouraging signs. In the month of April, the Rangers are 8-2-1. The new players added after the trade deadline—Derick Brassard, Ryane Clowe and John Moore—have all been terrific, as has midseason signing Mats Zuccarello.
The Rangers are not in the playoffs yet. The Winnipeg Jets sit three points behind them. However, if they can continue their current play, especially the play they've shown on their latest three-game winning streak, then the Rangers will be entering the playoffs as a hot team.
What do the Rangers need to do to uphold this type of play and hit the playoffs performing their best?
The Rangers offense is on fire of late.
In their past three games, the Rangers have scored 18 goals, including eight against the Buffalo Sabres.
That's pretty remarkable for a team that averages 2.58 goals per game. In fact, they scored just 32 goals in the month of February alone.
The driving force behind this increase has been Brad Richards. In the month of April, Richards has scored 12 points. Seven of those points, including four goals, have come in the past three games.
Why has Richards started to break out of his earlier slumps? One reason has been the arrival of Mats Zuccarello. Richards and Zuccarello have played on a line for most of the time since Zuccarello rejoined the team at the end of March. While Zuccarello has only six points, he's been a presence in each game. He's had many chances, and he has given Richards a winger who can make plays by himself. That takes some pressure off of Richards, who now doesn't have to produce all of the offense on his own.
In addition, Derick Brassard has given the Rangers four legitimate centers. Before the trade, Richards had to assume more responsibility than he was capable of handling. Now, Brassard can take some of the load off. He can control the puck on the power play, giving Richards a chance to use his shot more instead of directing the action.
It also allows Richards to play a little less and keep himself fresher. In March, Richards played a little over 240 minutes. In April thus far, he's played only 173 minutes. This allows Richards to make a better impact when he is on the ice, because he's not tired.
It's not just Richards who is playing well. Derek Stepan has had a remarkable month of April on top of a remarkable season. He has 15 points in the month of April and 40 on the season. To put that in perspective, last season in 82 games, Stepan had 51 points. If he played like this for a full season, Stepan would end up with around 80 points.
He's been a catalyst for this team, taking a huge step forward in his development. He's been a terrific center for Rick Nash, who continues his strong play with 19 goals and 21 assists.
Ryan Callahan has also been terrific, with three goals and three assists in his last four games.
The Rangers are hitting on all cylinders on offense because their star players are playing well. The core of this team—Nash, Richards, Stepan and Callahan—have come up huge in April. Secondary players, like Derick Brassard, Zuccarello and Ryane Clowe, have also been terrific.
If the Rangers want to hit their stride going into the playoffs, then the star players need to continue to play well. A solid offense has a few things going for it: star players, scoring depth and good forechecking. That's how the Rangers have been playing of late, and it bodes well for them as they enter the playoffs.
The Rangers defense is solid as always.
They only let up 2.27 goals per game, which is fourth-best in the league.
Led by Dan Girardi and Ryan McDonagh, the defense is sound positionally and physically. They're not afraid to throw the body, and they have enough offensive skill to start a breakout.
When Marc Staal went down with an eye injury in March, the team faced a huge hole. Staal is a terrific player, and his presence has been missed.
That said, a few players have really stepped up. Chief among them is Steve Eminger. Before the Staal injury, Eminger was primarily the sixth or seventh defenseman. Now, he's found his game. He's not a flashy player, but he's been steady and hasn't turned the puck over too much, which had been his problem.
"He's still a young guy, but what we're trying to teach him, he's picking up. The way he skates and the area he covers in that position, the onus is on us to teach him about positioning and how we play defense. He's an interesting one."
If Moore, who has been playing a little over nine minutes per game as a Ranger, can continue his solid play, then not only do the Rangers have an asset going forward, but they also have someone who can contribute in a big way in the playoffs.
The top four, comprised of Girardi, McDonagh, Michael Del Zotto and Anton Stralman, is one of the best in the league. Girardi and McDonagh are amongst the best in the game, while Del Zotto and Stralman are solid.
The Rangers defense has been great all year. In order to play well in the playoffs, the defense has to just stay the course. They need to keep playing with strong technique and positioning, keep playing with physicality and keep making smart passes out of the zone. If they do that, then they'll continue their strong play into the playoffs.
Henrik Lundqvist is the best and most important player on the Rangers, and this season has been no different.
Lundqvist has a 2.11 goals-against average and a .926 save percentage. In his Vezina Trophy-winning season last year, Lundqvist had a 1.97 goals-against average and a .926 save percentage. So his numbers are typically excellent.
In April, Lundqvist has come up big. In 10 games, he has a .936 save percentage and has let up just 19 goals.
If the Rangers want to make the playoffs, and if they want to go far in the playoffs, then Lundqvist has to be at his best. He has the potential to take this underachieving team and lead them to the Stanley Cup. He's that good. He can cover for defensive lapses and can steal multiple games.
To win in the playoffs, you need a hot goaltender. A hot goalie, like Jonathan Quick last season, can take an eighth-seed to a Stanley Cup.
Of course, the Rangers would need a lot of things to go their way before they can start thinking about the Stanley Cup. But Lundqvist has been absolutely terrific in April, and without him, the Rangers would be near the bottom of the Eastern Conference.
Lundqvist is certainly hitting his stride as the playoffs come near. Assuming he continues this high level of play, the sky is the limit for the Rangers.

Presidential debate: President Obama wonders if Mitt Romney's plans are 'too good' to provide details
On the economy: "Are we going to double down on the top-down economic policies that helped to get us into this mess, or do we embrace a new economic patriotism that says America does best when the middle class does best?"
On the deficit: "[Romney] is saying that his big, bold idea is 'never mind.' The fact is if you are lowering the rates the way you describe governor, it is not possible to come up with enough deductions or loopholes. It is math. It is arithmetic."
On government regulations: "Does anybody out there think the big problem we had was there was too much oversight and regulation of Wall Street, because if you do then Governor Romney is your candidate."
On Governor Romney not providing details of his plans: "Is the reason that Governor Romney is keeping all these plans to replace secret because they're too good? Is it because middle class families are going to benefit too much from them?"
