Among his many generous donations to the American Numismatic Society, the New York philanthropist and former Society president, Archer M. Huntington (1870-1955), established an endowment for the support of the Numismatic Notes and Monographs series (NNM). The subjects of the 166 issues published between 1920 and 1996 covered multiple aspects of ancient and modern numismatics (editor’s note: titles for all ANS series can be found online at: http://www.numismatics.org/Archives/PublicationHistory). During the ten years I spent doing research for my book, Money of The American Colonies and Confederation (Numismatic Studies, no. 20), I collected and read all the issues of the NNM series pertaining to my area of interest, namely the coinages of pre-Federal America. I was so impressed with the content of those eleven specific publications that I conceived of the idea of someday writing an annotated synopsis of these works to share them with other colonial enthusiasts who may not be as familiar with them as I have become. I have finally completed this project and present my thoughts in this brief thematic outline.
By reading only the titles, I gathered that the most frequent subject in the entire NNM series dealt with the classification and history of specific coinages, both ancient and modern (60 monographs), while the next most common topic (44 instances) reported the content of recovered coin hoards. In fact, booklet no. 1 entitled Coins Hoards (1920) was by Sydney P. Noe, the editor of the series and a versatile numismatic scholar of both classic and modern coinages. In addition to many other professional articles, he contributed 15 titles to the NNM series and is particularly well known to students of colonial American numismatics for his monographs on the Castine Hoard and the three on Massachusetts silver, all four of which will be described next. Noe first served as Society Librarian (1915-38), next as Chief Curator (1938-53), and was Secretary from 1917-47.
As part of a 1942 ANS exhibit of early coinages that circulated in America, Noe contacted the Maine Historical Society, the repository of 26 residual coins from the famous Castine Hoard discovered in 1840, and secured their loan for the exhibition in New York. Noe, who had a great interest in hoards, having already written five monographs on the subject, was so inspired by the numismatic implications of this find that he asked permission to conduct further research and the result of his efforts were published in NNM no. 100 (1942), The Castine Deposit: An American Hoard. This book presents a detailed numismatic description of the available survivors together with a discussion of the speculation surrounding the putative deposition of this cache in 1704.
Early twentieth century newspaper clipping about the Castine hoard.
Included in this 1942 ANS exhibition of early American money were nearly 500 examples of Massachusetts silver borrowed from several large private and institutional collections, including those four specimens from the Maine Historical Society. In reference to this event, Noe wrote,“[a]lthough the representation of the Spanish American pieces was of high order, it was surpassed in importance, for most of those who saw the exhibition, by the display of pieces usually grouped as ‘Pine Tree Shillings.’” The popularity of the coins from the Massachusetts Bay Colony Mint seemed to be a natural stimulus for Noe to expand upon the work of Sylvester P. Crosby by adding information that was not available to that author in 1873-75. As a result, over the next ten-year period, Noe produced three of the most famous numismatic studies and standard references relating to classical Americana: The New England and Willow Tree Coinages of Massachusetts, NNM no. 102 (1943); The Oak Tree Coinage of Massachusetts, NNM no. 110 (1947); and The Pine Tree Coinage of Massachusetts, NNM no. 125 (1952). These monographs are so chock-full of material on this popular series that any meaningful summarization of their content is not practical. More biographical information about Mr. Noe, together with photographic plates of Massachusetts Bay coinage can be found in another ANS publication, “Appendix 1: A Catalogue of an Exhibition of Massachusetts Silver at the American Numismatic Society,” by John M. Kleeberg, which appeared in the Proceedings of the Coinage of the Americas Conference, May 4, 1991, no.7, pp. 181-214. I should further refer to the 1976 American Numismatic Society publication, Studies on Money in Early America (edited by Eric P. Newman, with Richard G. Doty, associate editor), for the article by Richard Picker, “Variations of the Die Varieties of the Massachusetts Oak and Pine Tree Coinage” which supplements Noe’s original work by listing several more recently identified examples of coins with earlier and later die states. Also see below the comments regarding the The Secret of the Good Samaritan Shilling for the report of other additions to the series. (One might parenthetically insert here that the original 4” by 6” format of the booklets [1920-47] was discontinued in favor of a larger 6” by 9” design starting with The Oak Tree Coinage of Massachusetts).
Massachusetts: Boston, AR “pine tree” shilling, 1652 (ANS 1939.99.2).
Chronologically speaking, Counterfeiting in Colonial Pennsylvania, NNM no. 86, was the first actual booklet to appear dealing with a colonial American subject. This was written in 1939 by Harrold Edgar Gillingham, a Philadelphia collector of Americana, who also published several other monographs on war medals and decorations within the NNM series. In his introduction, Gillingham mentioned that he never detected much collector interest in either counterfeit colonial paper or coins; he further acknowledged that the minor differences between the genuine and imitation items were so subtle that they could not be demonstrated by photographic comparison and thus he illustrated only two paper bills. This monograph, covering Pennsylvania from the earliest times to 1788, was the pioneering opus dealing with the problem of colonial counterfeiting.
In 1955, as part of his own ongoing series on colonial counterfeiting, Kenneth Scott published Counterfeiting in Colonial Pennsylvania as NNM no. 132. Although this new volume extended only to 1776, it was a far more inclusive study than NNM no. 86 — perhaps five times the size — since Scott drew heavily on both published and unpublished court records and utilized other resources untapped by Gillingham. Scott published two other monographs in the NNM series: Counterfeiting in Colonial New York, NNM No. 127, in 1953; and Counterfeiting in Colonial Connecticut, NNM no. 140, in 1957. These four NNM monographs follow the same general format relating in a lively“true detective” fashion, from“crime to punishment,” the activities of unscrupulous individuals and organized rings engaged in the nefarious practice of counterfeiting coins and paper money. (Professor Scott has published in other journals and books several more studies on counterfeiting in colonies of Rhode Island, New Jersey, Virginia, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maryland, and North Carolina.)
A very interesting account of early New England paper money was written by George L. McKay, Early American Currency, NNM no. 104 (1944). This was a unique edition in that it was the combined publication of two organizations, the ANS and The Typophiles, an informal association of persons working in the printing trades, book arts, and libraries who shared a love of typography. This “chapbook,” as McKay called it, focused on how colonial paper money was printed; the author expanded his discussion beyond the typographic techniques used in the printing of type-set notes to include other graphic designs available from the use of copperplates and woodcuts. Since he dealt solely with New England, some were disappointed that he could not include the creative genius of Benjamin Franklin. The anti-counterfeiting measures incorporated into the physical structure of this early paper currency were his prime focus. For additional and more recent information on paper money typography, I recommend the profusely illustrated ANS publication by Eric P. Newman, “Unusual Printing Features on Early American Paper Money” which expands upon the subject of the printing eccentricities employed in colonial currency (In: Money of Pre-Federal America, edited by John Kleeberg, COAC, May 4, 1991, pp. 59-83).
Massachusetts, paper shilling, 1779 (ANS 0000.999.29713).
The last two monographs concerning colonial numismatics are those by Eric P. Newman, who needs no introduction to students of the colonial period. Coinage for Colonial Virginia, NNM no. 135, (1956) outlines the history of these 1773 halfpence together with a descriptive classification of 22 die varieties. As expected with the introduction of any new series, more hitherto unreported die combinations were bound to surface. Newman requested readers to contact him if they had any new discoveries in their cabinets and thus five new varieties were added in 1962 in “Additions to Coinage for Colonial Virginia,” appearing in The American Numismatic Society Museum Notes X, pp. 137-43, with plates XXVII-XXIX.
Virginia, AE penny (electrotype), 1773 (ANS 1989.99.174, gift of Mr. and Mrs. R. Byron White).
The last NNM publication, no. 142 (1959), is a virtual numismatic “who-done-it.” For the years the origin of a single elusive silver coin defied definition but thanks to the persistence of Eric P. Newman The Secret of the Good Samaritan Shilling is no longer a secret! As the author examines the evidence leading to the unraveling of this mystery, the connection of the Good Samaritan shilling with both genuine and fabricated Massachusetts silver coins is skillfully unfurled. The monograph concludes with the addition of three major new die varieties and four other subvarieties of Massachusetts silver as distinct transitional states.
Massachusetts: Boston, AR “Good Samaritan” 6 pence (counterfeit), 1652 (ANS 1959.101.3, gift of Catherine E. Bullowa).
From among the 166 issues of the Numismatic Notes and Monographs series, I have elected to report briefly upon those eleven issues which continue as prime resources for those devoted to the collection and study of early American numismatics. I am obviously speaking for myself but I am sure that I reflect the attitude of those others who constantly refer to these monographs. Apart from these actual monographs being collectors’ items in and of themselves for numismatic bibliophiles, these volumes contain a treasure trove of valuable, timeless information which is as applicable today as it was some 65 years ago when the first one was published.

Barrier surfaces are the first to come into contact with pathogens and have overlapping and unique immunological mechanisms to prevent infection. The lung, gut and skin form major physcial and immunological barriers to infection. These organs are the main portal of entry for a variety of air and food borne pathogens, allergens and other environmental pollutants. They have the unique ability to maintain homeostasis in the face of constant external provocation. Once this property is jeopardized, different types of diseases ensue. Although the underlying mechanisms of some of these diseases are not known, it is now becoming clear that immune imbalances contribute to many of these disorders. Many hematopoeitic cell types orchestrate immunologic responses to pathogens in these organs. Using animal models of disease (asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, IBD, systemic sclerosis), inducible transgenic techniques and genomic and proteomic approaches, we are involved in studying both basic mechanisms of dendritic cell maturation, ILCs activation, T cell differentiation and the relevance of these interactions in disease and in tolerance.

| Description | Task | Dataset | Model | | ------------- | ----------------- | ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | | UNet Architecture | Satellite Image Classification | IITB dataset (Referdownload (.h5) |
Let's now discuss
1. What this project is about,
2. Architectures we have used and experimented with and
3. Some novel training strategies we have used in the project
Remote sensing is the science of obtaining information about objects or areas from a distance, typically from aircraft or satellites.
We realized the problem of satellite image classification as a semantic segmentation problem and built semantic segmentation algorithms in deep learning to tackle this.
The ground truths provided are 3 channel RGB images. In the current dataset, there are only 9 unique RGB values in the ground truths as there are 9 classes that are to be classified. These 9 different RGB values are one-hot encoded to generate a 9 channel encoded ground truth with each channel representing a particular class.
Below is the encoding scheme
Realisation of each channel in the encoded ground truth as a class
So instead of training on the RGB values of the ground truth we have converted them into the one-hot values of different classes. This approach yielded us a validation accuracy of 85% and training accuracy of 92% compared to 71% validation accuracy and 65% training accuracy when we were using the RGB ground truth values for training.
This might be due to decrease in variance and mean of the ground truth of training data as it acts as an effective normalization technique. The better performance of this training technique is also because the model is giving an output with 9 feature maps each map indicating a class, i.e, this training technique is acting as if the model is trained on each of the 9 classes separately for some extent(but here definitely the prediction on one channel which corresponds to a particular class depends on others).
Our results on PSPNet for Satellite image classification:
Training Accuracy - 49% Validation Accuracy - 60%
For training we have used first 13 images in the dataset and for validation, 14th image is used.
The reason we have considered only one image (14th image) as validation set is because it is one of the smallest images in the dataset and we do not want to leave less data fo training as the dataset is pretty small. The validation set (14th image) we have considered does not have 3 classes (Bare soil, Rail, Swimmimg poll) in it which have pretty high training accuracies. The validation accuracy would have been better if we would have considered a image with all the classes in it(No image in the dataset contains all the classs, there is atleast one class missing in all the images).
The Strided Cropping:
To have sufficient training data from the given high definition images cropping is required to train the classifier which has about 31M parameters of our U-Net implementation. The crop size of 64x64 we find under-representation of the individual classes and the geometry and continuity of the objects is lost, decreasing the field of view of the convolutions.
Using a cropping window of 128x128 pixels with a stride of 32 resultant of 15887 training 414 validation images.
Before cropping, the dimensions of training images are converted into multiples of stride for convenience during strided cropping.
For the cases where the no. of crops is not the multiple of the image dimensions we initially tried zero padding , we realised that adding padding will add unwanted artefacts in the form of black pixels in training and test images leading to training on false data and image boundary.
Alternatively we have correctly changed the image dimensions by adding extra pixels in the right most side and bottom of the image. So we padded the difference from the left most part of the image to it’s right deficit end and similarly for the top and bottom of the image.
Training Example 1: Image '2.tif' from training data
Training Example 2: Image '4.tif' from training data
Validation Example: Image '14.tif' from dataset
Our model is able to predict some classes which a human annotator wasn't able to. The un-identifiable classes in the images are labeled as white pixels by the human annotator. Our model is able to predict some of these white pixels correctly as some class, but this caused a decrease in the overall accuracy as the white pixels are considered as a seperate class by the model.
Here the model is able to predict the white pixels as a building which is correct and can be clearly seen in the input image
|<!---Solarized dark||Solarized Ocean|
Kappa Coefficients With and Without considering the unclassified pixels
Overall Accuracy With and Without considering the unclassified pixels
Need to add regularization methods like L2 regularizarion and droupout and check the performance
Implement an algorithm to automatically detect all the unique RGB values in the ground truths and onehot encode them instead of manually finding the RGB values.

Are you curious about cbd juice cleanses but don’t know where to start? This blog post is for you! We will discuss everything you need to know before embarking on your cbd juice cleanse journey. First, let’s talk about what cbd juice cleansing is. Then, we will cover the benefits of cbd juice cleansing and dispel some common myths. Finally, we will give you a detailed guide on how to do a cbd juice cleanse safely and effectively. Are you ready to learn more? Let’s get started!
What is CBD Juice Cleanse?
You’ve read about CBD in the media and on the internet, but what precisely is it? Many people have asked us this.
Cannabidiol, or CBD for short, is one of more than a hundred chemical components contained in cannabis, and it has shown promise in preliminary research for a range of medical problems.
Cbd juice cleansing is a popular trend that involves drinking cbd-infused juices for a period of time in order to achieve various health benefits. This can include improved mood and energy levels, better sleep quality, reduced inflammation, and more.
To make the oil, the cannabis plant is used as is.
When I use CBD, will I feel high?
Simply because CBD comes from cannabis doesn’t mean it will get you high.
CBD is frequently misunderstood as THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol. THC is a chemical that causes inebriation, therefore it clearly differs from the other two in this respect. Since CBD is non psychoactive, it cannot cause intoxication.
Do you know how much CBD oil will be used each bottle?
Adding CBD to your juice detox at the rate of 5mg per 250ml bottle will put you at 25mg day, which is far under the safe range established by current studies. Dosage requirements may differ considerably from one individual to the next.
What are the Benefits of CBD Juice Cleanse?
There are many different benefits associated with cbd juice cleansing. Some of the key ones include increased energy levels and mental clarity, reduced feelings of stress or anxiety, faster recovery from workouts or athletic activities, and less pain and inflammation throughout the body. Additionally, cbd juice cleanses may also help boost your immune system and improve digestive function.
Relieve symptoms of anxiety and depression
CBD oil is derived from the hemp plant. CBD has been shown to be effective in reducing anxiety and depression in both animal and human studies. It works by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which regulates mood, pain, and inflammation.
CBD oil is non-psychoactive and does not produce the “high” associated with marijuana. CBD oil is legal in most states and can be purchased online or in stores. It is usually taken orally, but it can also be added to food or used topically.
CBD oil is generally safe and has few side effects. However, it can interact with some medications, so it is important to talk to your doctor before taking CBD oil.
CBD oil has many benefits for the skin. It can help to hydrate the skin, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain. CBD oil is also rich in antioxidants, which can help to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals.
One study even found that CBD oil may help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. In addition, CBD oil is non-comedogenic, meaning it will not clog pores.
As a result, it can be an ideal choice for those with sensitive skin or acne-prone skin. When applied topically, CBD oil can help to improve the overall appearance of the skin.
CBD has become a popular treatment for pain relief in recent years, and good reason. Unlike other pain medications, CBD does not carry the risk of addiction or overdose. Additionally, CBD is effective in treating a variety of chronic pain conditions, including arthritis and multiple sclerosis.
One of the main ways that CBD relieves pain is by reducing inflammation. Inflammation is a natural response to injury or disease, but it can also contribute to pain and stiffness. CBD helps to reduce inflammation by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system.
This system regulates various biological functions, including pain perception. By modulating the endocannabinoid system, CBD is able to reduce inflammation and provide relief from pain.
Additionally, CBD has been shown to have anxiolytic and antidepressant effects. These properties can help to improve mood and ease anxiety, both of which can contribute to pain relief. Overall, CBD is a safe and effective option for treating chronic pain.
CBD Fruit and Vegetable Juice Recipes
Pineapple Ginger and Turmeric Juice
Now it’s time to make this fantastic CBD, pineapple, ginger, and turmeric juice recipe. First, measure out the following ingredients:
- 2 pineapple cups (fresh is best, but canned works too)
- 1 tablespoon (or 1 inch) fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder or 1-inch fresh turmeric root
- 1 lime
- Water (or coconut water) (or coconut water)
- CBD concentrations of 15-35 mg (depending on your dose)
Get the roots and fruits ready.
- To begin, prepare the fruits and roots. Begin by peeling and slicing the pineapple into one to two-inch squares.
- If you’re using canned pineapple, remove the liquid from the container and cut the slices in half. Peel and cut the ginger root into two to three pieces next.
- If you have access to turmeric root, do the same. Peel the lime and cut it in half or into four pieces.
- If you have a juicer, proceed to the next step. If you don’t have any, mince the ginger and turmeric roots.
Using a Juicer (Jocuu Slow Masticating Juicer) to Make CBD Juice
- Pass the fruit and roots through the juicer one at a time, collecting the juice in a glass. If using powdered turmeric, add it after the fruits and roots have been juiced.
- The juice will most likely be quite concentrated at this time. Dilute with water or coconut water to taste and sip until the flavor is to your satisfaction.
- Once the juice is ready, add 15-35 mg of CBD to the glass using your Sky Wellness CBD Oil. Stir thoroughly and serve!
Using a Blender (Hamilton Blender) to Make CBD Juice
- Don’t worry if you don’t have a juicer! You can create this fantastic juice in a blender. In a blender, combine all of the ingredients except the CBD and mix on high.
- Once everything is combined, pour the liquid through a sieve to remove any big lumps. You may also leave them in if you like the pulpy feel.
- Dilute with water or coconut water until the flavor is to your liking. Pour in your Sky Wellness CBD Oil dosage, swirl well, and serve!
Mango CBD Juice
- 1 mango, peeled and diced (frozen mango works just fine)
- 1 chopped banana
- 2 gram finely grated ginger
- Coconut water or water
- Celtic Wind’s Hemp CBD Oil Is Multi-Complex
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tsp turmeric (optional)
- In a blender, combine the diced mango, grated ginger, coconut water, Celtic Wind’s CBD oil, salt, and turmeric.
- Blend at the maximum speed.
- Add additional coconut water as needed to get the required consistency.
- Pour into an ice-filled glass.
- Garnish with a lime slice
Mangos are high in vitamin C, which helps with immunity, iron absorption, and hair and nail growth!
CBD in Strawberry Lemonade
- Four hundred grams of berries
- Lemon juice, 300 ml
- Measure out 65 grams of granulated sugar
- Hemp CBD Oil from Celtic Wind is a Powerful Blend
- Water with a little effervescence
- Make a puree by blending together the strawberries and water in a blender.
- The sugar should be added and the mixture blitzed until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Add the lemon juice and the CBD oil from Celtic Wind to the blender and whirl some more until everything is combined.
- If the mixture is too thick, feel free to add extra water.
- Fill a glass with a tiny portion.
- Mix with some soda water and ice cubes, and enjoy.
- Garnish with a mint leaf and serve over ice.
It’s no secret that lemons are nutritious powerhouses. Their ability to help digestion and maintain appropriate blood sugar levels is also noteworthy. Of their acidic taste, lemons aren’t very popular with people. The best way to enjoy lemons, though, is to include them in some CBD juice.
If you’re curious about trying a CBD juice cleanse, we recommend doing your research to find a reputable company that sells high-quality products. Make sure to chat with the staff at the store before purchasing any products and ask lots of questions so you know what to expect from your cleanse. And most importantly, enjoy yourself! This is a great opportunity to reset your body and mind, so relax and let the juices work their magic.


'Respect red lines': Hopes, skepticism as deal expected in Iran nuclear talks
Iran and members of the P5+1 group met on an interim nuclear deal for less than 10 minutes Wednesday. The elusive agreement may be within reach, Iran and Russia hope, but some of the other countries involved in the talks are less optimistic.
A deal could see controversial Iran’s nuclear program put on hold for six months, in exchange for Western nations lifting sanctions. A deal could net Iran some $10 billion in unfrozen assets and trade revenue and also pave the way for a permanent treaty to resolve the longstanding dispute.
The issue of whether Iran will ultimately be allowed to enrich uranium is not be decided under the temporary deal being discussed, US Secretary of State John Kerry told reporters on Wednesday.
"Whatever a country decides or doesn't decide to do, or is
allowed to do under the rules, depends on a negotiation," he
said, cited by Reuters. "We are at the initial stage of
determining whether or not there is a first step that could be
taken, and that certainly will not be resolved in any first step,
I can assure you.”
The previous round of talks in Geneva two weeks ago was widely expected to produce an agreement, but failed to do so at the last moment. Some blamed French intervention for the obstacle, while other commentators speculated that it was Tehran’s fault. Nevertheless, senior diplomats from Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the US are back at the negotiating table with Iranian representatives in Geneva.
As the new round of talks was about to start, opinion was mixed about their prospects. Senior Russian officials from President Vladimir Puitin on down have said in the last few days that the deal was almost ready agreed and just required signing.
"We hope the efforts that are being made will be crowned with success at the meeting that opens today in Geneva," Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Wednesday.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague told a news conference in
Istanbul on Wednesday that "the differences between the
parties are narrow and I believe they can be bridged with
political will and commitment."
"This is an historic opportunity to build agreement on how to curb nuclear proliferation in the Middle East and potentially to set our relations with Iran on a different path. It is the best chance for a long time to make progress on one of the gravest problems in foreign policy," he said.
Similar optimistic statements came from the Iranians.
“I am going to Geneva with the determination to come out with an agreement at the end of this round,” Iran’s Foreign Minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, said in a statement posted on YouTube. “I think there is every possibility for success.”
Western countries remain more skeptical, however. US President Barack Obama said he wasn’t sure whether the negotiators “will be able to able to close a deal this week or next week.”
His skepticism may be explained by pressure from legislators and lobbyist groups in the US, who oppose a deal with Iran and are even calling for more sanctions, hoping that this will force Tehran to shut down its nuclear program unconditionally.
Opponents to dealing with the US are abundant in Iran too. On Wednesday, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told members of the Basij militia that “we are not hostile towards the people of America, they are similar to all other peoples.” But his words were met with traditional chants of “Death to America” from the militia.
Speaking about the Geneva talks, Khamenei said he hadn’t a direct personal say on what the Iranian delegation’s negotiating position would be, but had drawn red lines for them. “Iran will not step one iota back from its nuclear rights,” Khamenei said.
He also lashed out at France, the country Iran blames for the failure of the previous round of talks, saying that officials in Paris were "not only succumbing to the United States, but they are kneeling before the Israeli regime."
These comments prompted a quick rebuke from Paris. French government spokeswoman Najat Vallaud-Belkacem said it was “unacceptable” and complicated the talks.
As the talks opened in Switzerland, one of Iran’s fiercest critics, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was scheduled to begin a visit to President Vladimir Putin in Moscow later Wednesday.
Prominent Israeli politician and Likud party member Tzachi Hanegbi explained that Netanyahu’s visit to Russia was of major importance.
“They are very influential. Even though it might not have an effect on Geneva, we feel the dialogue between us and the Russians on this is enormously important,” Hanegbi told the Jerusalem Post.
Seyed Mostafa Khoshcheshm, from the English Department of Iran's
Fars News agency, told RT that Netanyahu “could not offer
anything to Moscow that would replace Iran’s companionship,
solidarity or alliance with Russia.”
Khoshcheshm said Netanyahu’s attempts to pressure Russia are part and parcel of a broader, global campaign to scuttle a nuclear deal with Iran.
“As we are approaching a deal between the two sides, it’s very
probable for the last time, Israel is increasing its activities
throughout the world, meeting with different world leaders, in
order to convince them that if they struck a deal with Iran, it
will not have good consequences for the region because Israel
will embark on some belligerent actions.”

Oct 13 (Reuters) – JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) surpassed analyst earnings estimates on Wednesday, thanks to record earnings at some investment banking firms and sunnier economic outlook that allowed the largest U.S. bank to release funds it owned had set aside for possible loan defaults during the coronavirus pandemic.
JPMorgan’s third quarter earnings were 24% higher than the same period last year due to these factors, but analysts were most enthusiastic about the signs that customers are back to spending and investing. The bank’s average loans and deposits increased, as did credit card spending, which caused JPMorgan’s loan income to grow 2.5% from the second quarter.
Executives were cautiously optimistic that after 19 months of pandemic illness, business closings, travel restrictions and stay-at-home tendencies, the economy is finally on a healthy path. They predicted that credit demand would not change significantly until next year at the earliest, but were encouraged by the first signs that the world was getting back on track.
“We don’t know the future better than you do,” said Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan, in an interview with journalists. âWhat we really want now is good growth. These are great numbers. By the end of 2022, people are predicting, â4% unemployment, wages are rising, jobs are plentiful. If we find out COVID, we should all thank our lucky stars. “
Investors often see JPMorgan not just as a major American bank, but as a symbol of how well the global economy and markets are doing. She is heavily involved in almost all conventional lending businesses – from mortgages to commercial lending – one of Wall Street’s largest investment banks and insights into multinational corporations through its capital markets and treasury services.
The high point of JPMorgan’s third quarter was Corporate & Investment Bank, where advisory fees nearly tripled due to strong M&A and equity underwriting performance, fueled in part by a spate of IPOs.
During the quarter, JPMorgan maintained its position as the second largest provider of global M&A advice after Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS.N) based on fees, according to Refinitiv.
JPMorgan’s decision to free up $ 2.1 billion from loan reserves also boosted profits. Dimon and many analysts and investors tend to remove reserve fluctuations from the “core” of their earnings analysis because they are based on accounting standards and do not reflect new money that is coming in.
Overall, JPMorgan’s earnings rose to $ 11.7 billion, or $ 3.74 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, compared to $ 9.4 billion or $ 2.92 per share last year . Without the release of reserves and an income tax break, earnings would be $ 9.6 billion, or $ 3.03 per share.
According to Refinitiv, analysts had expected an average profit of USD 3.00 per share.
JPMorgan’s revenue rose 2% to $ 30.4 billion for the quarter. Analysts were expecting an average revenue of 29.8 billion US dollars.
The bank maintained its guidance that it expects net interest income for the year to be around $ 52.5 billion.
JPMorgan’s shares lost 2.3% in morning trading, with other major banks also falling. Their stocks rose about 5% in the weeks leading up to the results, along with other major banks as they hoped for higher interest rates, according to a comment from the Federal Reserve.
DEALMAKING IS RISING
Capital markets firms helped large Wall Street banks through the pandemic as investors scrambled to respond to news of the pandemic and companies needed help raising capital or hedging business risks. More recently, as trading revenues have declined, there has been a surge in transaction activity, with companies choosing to merge or go public through special acquisition companies (SPACs), and young companies listing stocks for the first time.
JPMorgan’s Corporate & Investment Bank division saw net sales grow 6% to $ 12.4 billion. The Consumer & Community Banking division posted a 2% decrease in net sales to $ 12.5 billion. These two companies switch to the largest by revenue depending on the quarter.
The lender’s commercial banking business saw net revenue grow 8% to $ 2.5 billion, while Asset & Wealth Management grew 20% to $ 4.3 billion.
In a conference call with analysts, management mainly asked questions about JPMorgan’s economic outlook and the results of the quarterly statistics for the next few quarters. They wanted to know when the bank’s loan income would increase and how to use all of the cash on hand.
For example, card spending has increased dramatically, which would normally be a good sign for banks. This hasn’t always resulted in higher profits, however, as individuals saved money during the pandemic while stuck at home to settle balances and stay on top of bills – avoiding interest payments or late fees.
Still, analysts said they were encouraged by the bank’s performance in an environment that remains imperfect for big banks, with low interest rates, a difficult regulatory environment and risk from potential new waves of coronavirus infections.
“JPMorgan has opened the reporting season and has set a clearly positive tone for what a bank can do,” said Susan Katzke, an analyst at Credit Suisse.
Other major U.S. banks, including Bank of America (BAC.N), Citigroup (CN), Wells Fargo (WFC.N), and Morgan Stanley (MS.N), will report results Thursday, while Goldman Sachs (GS.N ), Wall Street’s most prolific deal maker will close the winning season on Friday.

Regional districts in the north Okanagan and Shuswap have reached a deal with CP Rail to buy a former rail corridor connecting Sicamous and Armstrong for $6.5-million.
The deal, which has yet to be finalized, covers the remainder of the railway land not already owned by the Splatsin First Nation.
The province, Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) and Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO) will each pay $2.17 million for the land.
Both the regional districts will have to borrow money to finance the purchase.
The RDNO will need to borrow the total $2.17-million while the CSRD will be looking to borrow over $1.8-million.
While no final decisions on the use of the land have been made, the corridor is seen as a prime location for another rail trail.
The RDNO said there could also be a possibility of connecting this land with the Okanagan Rail Trail being constructed between Coldstream and Kelowna.

Safety is certainly an issue in a chemistry department. It is fairly easy to protect oneself from direct contact with chemicals. Don’t touch them. Wear gloves. But some might nevertheless be hazardous without you noticing: through inhalation.
Fume hoods, ventilation, detectors of smelly and non-smelly hazards, are usually here to prevent any poisoning but the variety of toxic volatile substances and their respective threshold might be unknown.
In particular, detectors are specific only to a limited range of products and lack in specificity, making their accuracy controversial.
In the 60s and the 70s, there has been a growing awareness of the effect of air pollutants on plants. The number of scientific publications about this topic at this period of time denotes the sudden consideration. Now it is only well known that plants in you house will provide a cleaner air and a better health.
But it is more than that. Not only plants clean the air, but they also exhibit well-documented symptoms in presence of air pollutants, similar to those detected by electronic air monitoring devices such carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide.
But since they are living organisms, they are less specific and therefore will react to a broad range of pollutants. Also, given the high turnover in the small body of a plant, the effects are expected to be quite visible quickly, at very low thresholds.
Thus, why not keeping plants in the lab and evaluate their health to assess the air quality of the environment on a long-term basis? Plants will not replace current detectors that respond within a few seconds.
It is cheap, it is pleasant, it is reliable. The culture of unexposed specimen can prevent the possibility of adaptation. The diversity of species can provide enough individuals for broad range detection. One can even imagine genetically modifying a plant to make it weaker and more sensitive…
Of course, this will require care and knowledge – even though a plant will ostentatiously demonstrate its ill-being.

The surprising news has just been released by Raj Giri, Editor-in-Chief of Wrestling Inc., who still does not dare to confirm the news, but mentions it as a rumor because he must have a lot of confidence in the source that released this bombshell.
Sasha Banks would be out of WWE, and Naomi too?
“I heard that Sasha Banks has been released from her contract. I don’t know if she requested contractual release from her or if she was fired by WWE .”
Thus, we are waiting for an official press release, either from the company or from the fighter. Recall that Banks and her teammate, Naomi, did not agree with the creative plan that WWE had for Raw on May 16, 2022, where six women were going to fight for the opportunity to be Bianca’s number one challenger. Belair at the Hell in a Cell 2022 premium event.
The original plan was for Naomi to win the match by last beating Banks. And, later, Banks was going to go to SmackDown for a while and was going to challenge Ronda Rousey for the SmackDown Women’s Championship, although surely without much success.
The team was not going to break up, but it was going to put them on pause without defending the title and both Naomi and Banks were going to continue to boost the current monarchs. None of this pleased the ladies. Banks, taking advantage of his great friendship with Vince McMahon, expressed his complaints and he was willing to change the plans, but shortly after, the Producer of the match refused to make changes.
Banks was no longer able to speak with McMahon and spoke with John Laurinaitis, WWE’s Head of Talent Relations. Faced with their refusal, Naomi and Banks left the WWE World Tag Team Championship on their desk and left the arena, the Norfolk Scope Arena, in Norfolk, Virginia, just a couple of hours into this Raw.
WWE got angry with them and issued a very reproachful press release calling them unprofessional and accusing them of not fulfilling their contractual obligations. McMahon also forced Corey Graves to call them unprofessional during that night’s Raw.
Then, they took away the title of Tag Team Champions and suspended them indefinitely. The last thing that was known was that Banks, taking advantage of his suspension, had decided to have surgery a few days ago.

I Choose to Send Blessings . .
When dealing with a sad and unpleasant situation with one of my sisters, I asked my standard Access question one morning: “What’s it going to take for me to get over this?”
Within minutes, I was reading FB posts and saw a reference from one of my friends regarding sending blessings to people who have hurt us.
I was guided to do a search on-line for more information and found an amazing hypnotherapist in California named Marilyn Gordon. She had a series of articles and one of them was simply entitled, “Blessing Everything.” http://www.hypnotherapycenter.com/art_ble.html
In it, she references extending “heartfelt good will and the possibility of transcendence to everything.” She went on to say:
When you bless, there is an immediate shift in you as the extender of blessings, in your reality, and whatever or whoever is the recipient of your blessings. It all becomes filled with light.
When you bless, you send the energy of healing out from your heart and mind. If you are visual, you might see a situation transformed and healed. You might experience it as sending light. You might feel it surrounded with a protective kind of energy. You might hear the words “bless you” reverberating in yourself.
I remember a Theta Healing class I took in 2005 with Asara Lovejoy and Kathryn Perry. Kathryn proposed the idea of sending blessings to people we encountered during the day. Just say, “Blessings, blessings, blessings,” to someone you see with car trouble, someone you see arguing, someone you see in pain. That helps them and allows you a way to be of service to the world. (Since I am an Empath, it also allows me a way to support the person and disconnect from their energy!)
I began to regularly do this, although I don’t think I really connected with the deeper meaning. I even taught it to my husband, Steve, and we would routinely send blessings when we saw an accident on the road. I guess I wonder if we were just “saying the words.”
Now, as I look more deeply into the process of sending blessings, I feel that I was just going through the motions. I want to connect more deeply with the people whom I am blessing. This desire is what led me to Marilyn Gordon and her work.
She also adds:
Blessing equals healing. Blessing means, “I see this situation from an expanded view. I know this is in my life for some reason. More than likely, I am to become powerful from this. Perhaps there is some message that I am receiving from this. I bless it, and I accept my power.”
If you are one of those with a steel-trap mind that plays tapes over and over of slights you’ve experienced, grievances, perceived failures, hostilities, you can use that same quality of steadfast attention by sending blessings rather than condemnation or resentment.
Marilyn references one of my favorites, A Course in Miracles, which reminds us, “I can see peace instead of this.”
THIS GIVES ME BACK MY POWER!!!!
I can choose to see peace, YES, I can choose peace, instead of the hurt, the wrong doing, the injustice, or whatever. If I can choose to turn over and over in my mind the hurt, the snub, the harsh words, then I can also choose to replace that little video of pain with one of PEACE and BLESSING.
Marilyn says it best:
If my mind is so strong that I can return over and over to thoughts of insufficiency or conflict, it can be equally strong in returning over and over to blessing.
Isn’t that brilliant?
She also references a French writer named Pierre Pradervand and shares this:
He acknowledged that difficulties teach you and that trials are blessings in disguise. He said, “It is impossible to bless and judge at the same time.” This desire to bless, he says, helps you to become a peacemaker, and “one day you shall behold, everywhere, the very face of God.”
So, of course, I had to investigate Mr. Pradervand! I found that he is an author and leader in the field of social justice and personal development. He wrote a book called “The Gentle Art of Blessing.” He has also written several other books.
His personal motto is:
In any situation, I can always express love. Nothing can ever prevent me from loving
I will write more about Mr. Praderand on another day, although I want to close with this quote:
"To bless means to wish, unconditionally and from the deepest chamber of your heart, unrestricted good for others and events; it means to hallow, to hold in reverence, to behold with awe that which is always a gift from the Creator. He who is hallowed by your blessing is set aside, consecrated, holy, whole. To bless is to invoke divine care upon, to speak or think gratefully for, to confer happiness upon, although we ourselves are never the bestower, but simply the joyful witnesses of life's abundance." From The Gentle Art of Blessing by Pierre Pradervand
So, will you join me is sending blessings, REAL, heart-felt blessings to those in our lives whom we may not understand or even WANT to bless? Send a blessing today to someone close to you. Bless them, let them go and witness JOY in your own life.

Hi everyone.. we really need your help with this.
A few months ago I researched foods (and you guys were such great help) I changed my cats over to Wellness natural brand, indoor dry cat formula.
They like it fine and I can tell Aschers coat is really looking nice HOWEVER I am having an issue with the waste.. My self cleaning litter box now has to be maintained every three days instead of every 10 or so.. it smells horrid.. all the way down the hallway and they are popping all the time.. and this is the INDOOR formula. Its also , well to be blunt ,not as firm either.
I love the way the coats look but they are passing gas and frankly the waste smell is horrid I never had this problem with the other food but it didnt have as many healthy ingredients .. this btw is the DRY food..
We have been on it for over a month now and its not getting any better.. does anyone have this problem and those of you that do use something that is healthy WITHOUT this issue any help is appreciated. Thanks
PS I tried the Merrick before the cats wouldnt touch it..

This is so exciting! I have been dreaming of Colorado for many years, being an outdoor adventure enthusiast and a skier. I finally took the plunge and applied to this show in Breckenridge, Colorado and was accepted!
Like my trip to Sun Valley in August, I'll be packing up my car with all of my necessities to show and sell my jewelry, but I will also have my mountain bike and hiking boots to take advantage of this beautiful area of the country which I have never explored. I'll stay a few days to soak in the mountains.
I am looking forward to Breckenridge on Labor Day weekend!

When I'm not creating stained glass art or designing a new studio, I spend much of my free time at Animal Aid, a free-roam/no-kill animal shelter which is actively working to better the lives of pets and their families through adoption and outreach. I just love volunteering there. It is one of my favorite places to be. So when they asked me to produce some art work to be used in a silent auction for Bet For Pets, their biggest fundraiser of the year, I was thrilled. So being being what it is, I naturally went with an animal theme.
|I call this "Traversing Waters".|
|This one is titled "My Afternoon Cat Nap".|
Not only did I practice my skill but I supported a great cause. Who knew I could do what I love while doing it for the animals I adore. It's the perfect combination!

Library of Congress Publishes Name Authority Cataloging Guide
The Library of Congress has just published the NACO Participants' Manual, a detailed, field-by-field guide to the theory and practice of authority record creation.
NACO, the Name Authority Cooperative Project, includes 140 research institutions. NACO participants, including the Library of Congress, create authority records -- a preliminary step in the cataloging process -- for inclusion in an international database called the Anglo-American Authority File (AAAF). At present, the AAAF contains standardized forms of more than 1 million names of authors, organizations and publishers' series.
Librarians worldwide are able to search the AAAF on-line and reuse its data in their libraries' catalogs. For catalogers, this saves time and effort, reduces the possibility of error and expands the intellectual access to collections that libraries provide to their patrons.
The NACO Participants' Manual is a must for NACO participants and an invaluable reference for any cataloger doing authority work. The manual is also a valuable resource for users of Library of Congress name and subject authority files.
The NACO Participants' Manual is available for $18 in North America, $20 outside America. Paperbound, it is 147 pages. To order, contact: Library of Congress, Customer Services Section, Cataloging Distribution Service/Dept. EQ, Washington, DC 20541- 5017; telephone: (800) 255-3666 (U.S. only) or (202) 707-6100; TDD: (202) 707-0012; fax: (202) 707-1334.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) - Media shares fell Tuesday after Morgan Stanley Dean Witter analyst Rich Bilotti downgraded the entertainment sector to "neutral" from "outperform."
Bilotti cut Walt Disney DIS, +1.74% News Corp. NWS, +1.89% and Viacom VIA to "outperform" from "strong buy," citing softness in broadcast and cable television advertising. The analyst said this weakness, over the next six to 12 months, will lead to a "moderate upfront market." The upfront is the summer period during which broadcast and cable networks sell up to about 80 percent of their advertising spots for the fall season. See full story.
Disney shares fell 50 cents to $29.38; News lost 75 cents to $35.38. Viacom advanced 88 cents to $53.88.
Elsewhere among diversified media shares, Time Warner TWX, -28.57% fell $5.46 to $64.15, America Online AOL lost $4.09 to $43, Sony SNE, +1.48% shed 38 cents to $72.94 and Seagram VO, +1.07% fell 63 cents to $53.88.
Gemstar-TV Guide GMST dropped $6.19, or 12 percent, to $44.69 amid speculation that the provider of interactive television programming guides is thinking about combining its e-books business with that of Barnes & Noble BKS, +3.60% See full story.

text: At ESMO 2020, most attention in the melanoma field went to studies addressing the benefit of immunotherapy, alone or in combination with other drugs. First of all, updates on the use of immunotherapy in the adjuvant setting were provided for the Keynote-054 and the CheckMate 238 trials. In the advanced melanoma setting, several studies investigating combinations of immunotherapy with targeted agents will be addressed. In addition to this, the ILLUMINATE-204 trial investigates the potential of combining immunotherapy with intratumoral therapy. Similarly, a second study describes the value of local therapy in the treatment of solitary melanoma after progression upon checkpoint inhibitors. Finally, vaccination strategies with an IDO/ PD-L1 peptide vaccine and adjuvant dendritic cell vaccination will be discussed.

Warm weather boosted pasture growth and lifted milk production to record levels in April and May, helping farmers claw back some of the ground lost in a difficult spring and summer.
Data from the Dairy Companies Association of New Zealand shows the country’s milk processors collected 88,812,000 kilograms of milk solids in May, up 5.7 per cent from May last year and setting a new record for the month.
That followed a record collection of 148,177,000 kg/MS in April, and meant production for the full season to the end of May was down 0.6 per cent from the previous year.
The 2017/18 season would be remembered by many dairy farmers for the trying conditions during spring and early summer, AgriHQ chief analyst Susan Kilsby said.
“Milk production was hampered during the spring by extremely wet conditions which restricted pasture growth. This was followed by an early summer drought.
“However, extremely favourable conditions for pasture production prevailed in the later part of the season. This resulted in additional milk in the vat during the later months of the season.”
Federated Farmers dairy vice-chairman Wayne Langford was surprised production for 2017/18 had finished almost on a par with the previous season.
“With warm temperatures and good grass growth later on, some people were able to milk on longer, even right to the end of the season,” he said.
“But there weren’t a lot of guys who had an easy season so it is a surprise the totals were so close.”
The late surge in pasture growth had set many farmers up well for winter, Langford said.
“With things like Mycoplasma bovis to worry about, that’s one less stress.”
The total milk collection for the 2017/18 season of 1.839 billion kg/MS is 2.7 per cent behind the 2014/15 season when New Zealand’s milk intake peaked at 1.890b kg/MS.

Water meters measure the amount of water that flows into a structure like a house, store or office building. The point of the water meter is to measure consumption for conservation and billing purposes.
Water entering the meter flows through the mechanism and drives a circular piston in an off-centre path. Once round the measuring chamber represents the flow of a known quantity of water. The action of the piston is directed towards the gear train that drives the digital display that tells us what the consumption is.
If any solids come into the chamber, they are caught by a filter to prevent any damage to the mechanism. The filter is capable of holding quite a bit of solid material without the accuracy of the meter being affected.
Water meters are built to very exacting standards and are extremely accurate and will measure the lowest possible flow rates. The clear digital display for the reading is very easy to read and transfer to a record. The meter is not affected by the position it is in which makes it much easier to find a suitable locatuion for installing it.
Water meters require no maintenance except possibly to keep the display window clean so the meter can be read easily.

Somerset 258 for 9 (Buttler 68*, Trescothick 50) beat Gloucestershire 246 for 7 (Thomas 3-41) by 12 runs
Jos Buttler's intelligent innings of 68 not out guided Somerset into the Yorkshire Bank 40 semi-finals with a 13-run victory over arch-rivals Gloucestershire at a packed County Ground in Bristol.
Buttler reined himself back on a two-paced pitch as wickets fell around him as the visitors posted 259 for nine after losing the toss. Marcus Trescothick contributed 50 and Craig Kieswetter 42, but the highlight of the innings was a hat-trick from left-arm spinner Tom Smith.
Gloucestershire replied with 246 for 7, having been given a good start by Michael Klinger and Hamish Marshall.
Alex Gidman, Chris Dent, and Ian Cockbain made a fight of it, but Alfonso Thomas used his experience to frustrate the hosts with 3 for 41.
It was a sad end for Gloucestershire to a day which had seen the opening of their plush new Bristol Pavilion, but results elsewhere meant that even a victory would not have put them in the semifinals. Somerset ended as Group C winners with a superior run-rate to Glamorgan's.
Trescothick and Kieswetter gave Somerset a great start to their innings with a century stand inside 13 overs. The ball after reaching his half-century, off 45 balls, with seven fours and a six, Trescothick was deceived by Craig Miles and drove a simple catch to cover.
Nick Compton fell first ball, guiding a Miles full toss to Ian Cockbain at backward point and it was 126 for 3 when Kieswetter, who had struck two big sixes, nicked a catch behind as he looked to pull a short delivery from Payne.
James Hildreth and Buttler were content to largely milk singles in a stand of 71 off 12.2 overs, which looked to have put Somerset in a strong position again.
But Smith had other ideas, sending back Craig Meschede, caught behind, and Lewis Gregory, who drove a catch to cover, with the fifth and sixth balls of the 30th over before completing the hat-trick by bowling Piyush Chawla with the first delivery of the 32nd.
Buttler was left in a difficult position as his team lost wickets in a cluster for the second time and left it until the last over to produce his trademark scoop shot off James Fuller to achieve his first six. He hit only four fours in facing 71 balls.
Gloucestershire looked well in it as Klinger and Marshall put on 63 in less than 10 overs before the latter drove a catch to long-off to give Chawla, Somerset's recent overseas signing, his first wicket for the county.
A key moment came when Chawla claimed a tumbling catch at short fine-leg off Steve Kirby to dismiss Klinger, who clearly felt the ball had bounced. After the umpires had consulted he was sent on his way and it was 92 for 2.
From then on Gloucestershire were always struggling to keep up with a run rate, which grew steadily from 6.5 an over to reach 10 by the last five overs. The canny Thomas used a succession of slow bouncers to good effect and, as Somerset's batsmen had found, it was not a pitch conducive to hitting a lot of boundaries.

Whether you are a singer-song author, a producer, or both, these little gems make sure to include some inspiration to your music marketing projects moving forward. Listen up! Here are just a couple of to peruse through. To get the best music promotion-use Music and Marketing. They have skilled music promo projects.
Initially, in regards to your music marketing tips, try to keep your music within the realm of what your audience will take pleasure in. If you are creating music for the older generation of listeners, then you certainly wish to stay away from the EDM and rap music categories. Instead, stick with the classical or jazz categories. Numerous older listeners simply do not dig the business tone of these kinds of tunes and they do not hold the exact same attract more youthful generations. Keep your music personal to you and to the listeners. This will assist you build a following that will eagerly anticipate your next release.
Another music marketing tips that will prove beneficial is to keep your e-mail marketing clear and basic. Numerous artists fail to take advantage of what is now described as the decide in list. The autoresponder list allows new subscribers to be added who specifically requested more info about your music. These subscribers are most likely to become faithful fans and purchase product from you down the line. Take a look at some of the most relied on artists in today’s industry and see what their e-mail marketing plan includes.
Now here is one of my preferred music marketing tips that I have actually heard over again. Do not utilize streaming services like OnLive or Vimeo for promoting your music. Numerous artists think that this type of service removes any barriers that they may encounter in developing an audience. In actuality, lots of streaming services are bots that search for videos that belong to their rigorous Regards to Service and will eliminate any video that does not fall under those criteria.
Some artists may think that streaming is not effective because there are not enough listeners to in fact hear the audio. That could not be further from the fact. While the innovation of making audio CDs is advancing, there is no reason why it can not be adjusted to the music industry. Audio files can be copied and kept onto CD without loss of quality. This is one of the more ignored music marketing tips that can be beneficial to the artists.
One of the most effective music marketing tips I have actually heard comes straight from the social media networks. Numerous musicians think that they should not be gotten in touch with their fans on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. That is an error that lots of musicians make. Preserving a great and healthy relationship with your fans on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter can be one of the most important aspects of achieving success in the music industry. Artists should find out how to utilize Twitter and facebook to grow their fan base and increase their direct exposure. Musicians that fail to connect with their fans through social media websites are doomed to failure.
Another ignored piece of music marketing tips that are beneficial to both artists and their fans is by creating back links on their pages and websites. Back links are links that are leading users to another websites. If done properly, this new websites or back link will provide fans with fresh material that they may be interested in. This is just as important as using social media sites like Twitter and facebook.
Lastly, some artists may think that they are doing all they can to market themselves online and to build their fan base online. That holds true, but it is just as important to promote yourself and your music on other social media platforms such as Instagram. This will likewise give your fans a chance to see who you truly are and what your music is everything about. The key to finding and using these fantastic little online music marketing tips is for artists to go out and satisfy other artists that can help them grow their fan base while remaining within their niche and not drowning in competition with artists who are much larger in the online music industry. Stay professional, stay linked and don’t let anything else distract you from making it big! Make certain you go to Music and Marketing today for the very best music promo.
