Q1. What is the background of yourself and the EOC team? Hello everyone, I’m Paul from EOC ,and I have been in the gaming industry for almost 15 years. Now I’m one of the game producers of Era of Civilization: Ancient World (EOC). It’s an honor to be here today to share our GameFi project with everyone in the community. I hope that through today’s AMA, more people will know what we have done at EOC. This is the situation of other members of our game production team: The entire EOC technical team has 5–10 years of experience in game development and has cooperated for many years. Whether it is H5 games, consoles or mobile games, they are all at the top level in the UK. Our art team has 2 master-level game artists, working with our UI designers and special effects designers with 5–8 years of game experience. The art team undertook the outsourcing of large-scale foreign game projects in the early years, and has very rich experience in providing 3D large-scale project services. Our sound effects engineers have many years of working experience in major domestic and foreign film companies, including Sony Pictures and Columbia Film Group. They mainly focus on sound effects production and editing. They have mature technology and aesthetics, and their works are in line with mainstream players. Q2. What are the ambitions or purposes that EOC is try to achieve? What EOC wants to bring to our players is an element of fun. We firmly believe that those existing Gamefi projects cannot be called “games”. Gaming is an entertainment service industry, and in essence it still needs to bring people some entertainment. If a player plays a game just to make money, it may not be called a “game”. It can even be said that these people are working for game companies. We also believe that we will see countless games based on the concept of meta-universe. You might say that your virtual products in those existing Gamefi projects are valuable in the game, but in fact, the so-called value is ultimately diluted infinitely. The usual GameFi sells scarcity and uniqueness. But in fact, scarcity and uniqueness have nothing except the concept of NFT. So in the world of EOC, we spent a lot of time designing different game elements. EOC allows players to develop different strategies in medieval battles. In EOC, players can continuously collect heroes of different attributes and levels by opening blind boxes. Heroes can participate in adventures, participate in alliance war games, explore adventures, complete different daily tasks, or participate in country building in the game through farm work. Different combinations of strategies are allowed between different tasks, resulting in different game results. We have learned from the combination of many strategy games, which greatly increased the diversity of the game ecology. The above is just the basic situation of EOC, but the content of this game is very rich and complicated. I may not be able to express its essence in a few words. It is recommended that everyone can participate in the game and explore this wonderful world together. Enjoy the fun of playing. Q3. It is understood that game players can obtain income in various ways in the EOC world. Can you tell us more about the detail of the methods to obtain income in the game? The EOC team strives to guarantee the earning of the EOC players. As a GameFi project, we do our best to provide all participants with the best tokenomic model to maintain the entire ecological value for our players and ultimately allow anyone to earn EOC Coins (EOCC) through proficient game skills. Since all in-game items in EOC are digitized as NFT, players can easily complete the transfer and transaction of NFT assets through the EOC game market at any time. The difference between EOC and the usual play-to-earn GameFi models of all other blockchain games is the realistic reward system in EOC. This game will truly make all EOC players rich by rewarding players with a series of mainstream crypto assets, including Bitcoin, which has never been seen in other games. Therefore, players can enjoy a higher level of fun through the most advanced GameFi reward mode in EOC. The key concept of EOC is play-to-live (P2L), which has given many players-starting from poor players in rural realities, and now gaining the ability to make money through playing games in the virtual world. We can call it the leisure economy. Now it cannot be said that players are working for the EOC company, because we have given players valuable third-party assets, so game players don’t have to worry about being unable to get back their investment in the game when the price of GameFi project tokens drops in the secondary market. Q4. What are the functions that MMR and EOCC tokens have in the EOC game setting? MMR is a platform token that supports the decentralized computing power trading platform Make Me Rich, which naturally combines traditional Filcoin mining with mainstream DeFi game settings through a unique Staking protocol. Since the Make Me Rich platform is one of our main investors, in addition to consuming BNB tokens as gas on Binance Smart Chain, EOC also consumes EOCC and MMR. Users with MMR not only can draw blind boxes at the beginning stage of the EOC to gain rare in-game items, at the same time the platform will also feed users back with multiple benefits: ◇ The earned MMR 50% will go into the game union pool to increase the income of players which build the game union; ◇ The earned MMR 10% will be collected by the foundation to provide incentives for future community governance, etc; ◇ The earned MMR 20% will be used to contribute liquidity to MMR and EOCC to maintain the game economic system. And EOCC, as the currency in the game, EOCC exists in every corner of the game and has an initial price 1EOCC=0.0001U. The specific usage scenarios of EOCC include buying blind box, creating game unions, triggering union wars and hero leasing. EOCC integrate organically with different parts of the game. The more EOCC you have, the more advantageous it is to complete with other players. Q5. There have been many very successful GameFi projects around. What innovations has EOC made in terms of functions and gameplay setting to get more attention and participation from players? I think EOC has the following advantages: First, even players who have not participated in the closed beta can see from our official promotional video that our game is beautifully made, has strong playability, excellent music and art, and great combat special effects; Second, because it has borrowed from the current mature economic model, it has a complete investment-earning-return mechanism so it can adapt to the same type of GameFi player group to the greatest extent; Third, we have shorter profit cycle of playing EOC, combined with the mainstream crypto asset reward system, which allows our players to achieve low investment and high return; Fourth, EOC meets the various needs of users. Many GameFi projects are just simple web game products. EOC supports a variety of scenarios such as web version, PC version, Android version, IOS version, etc., allowing users to play our games anytime, anywhere. Q6. Where did the inspiration come from? Why did you choose BSC? Our team believes that there is no doubt that BSC is the biggest winner in this round of GameFi boom. According to the latest statistics, 20 of the top 50 most active GameFis run on BSC, accounting for 40% of the total. The remaining 30 GameFis are distributed in infrastructure such as Ethereum, Flow, Tron, Solana, and Avalanche. Games such as Wizardium, Fortified, and Universe Island on BSC still maintain high popularity. This is why we choose BSC as our supporting blockchain. Q7. What is the status of your product development? Describe more detailed information about the EOC project roadmap. Popularity is crucial for GameFi project. The EOC whitelist entry officially starts on December 20, which caused quite a stir at the blockchain game circle abroad. it takes only a week for EOC to attract 150,000 daily active followers on all the social media of EOC, including Telegram, Twitter, Medium, and Discord. The total subscribers of the EOC channel exceed 1.3 million. Let me introduce more about our project route. ◇ 2021/11 EOC official website is online; ◇ 2021/12 EOC officially launched the rare blind box draw event on December 20; ◇ 2022/1 EOC will complete the underlying design and battle calculus DEMO development; define the hero prototype, combat skill design and world background design; ◇ 2022/2 EOC will be officially launched, including the first blood challenge system; ◇ More forms of EOC competitions will be launched in the middle of 2022/2, including in-game union battles; ◇ The next development roadmap for the MMR platform and EOC will be announced in late February 2022. ◇ We will also launch a beta version of the NFT game market soon. In addition, I can’t help but want to spoil everyone here. EOC will launch a cross-chain gameplay soon, and there will be surprises for participation. Anyone who interested can first follow our official website https://www.eocryptoken.com/, and we will post the latest news on the official website. Thank you. Live questions: Q1. What is the minimum capital required to start playing with EOC, when can we start playing? The starting point for playing EOC is that the player has at least one hero (to take different game challenges), so the minimum cost of the EOC player is to spend 20USDT to draw a primary blind box to obtain a hero. Q2. How to get EOC token, or just play this game we get EOC token? Yes, an easy way to get EOC tokens (EOCC) is to participate in daily challenges in the game. Another way is through the farming system in the game. You can find more details in the official white paper of EOC. Q3. Why you choose BSC network? I think if we need gas fee to transaction, HECO is better. As we said, the most important element for GameFis is popularity. No one wants to play a game without other players interacting with them, so the number of potential players is the first priority of our development team. I think this is why the EOC team, like many other game development teams, chose BSC as the game medium. Even HECO can achieve a lower price. Q4. The guild system in the game is very powerful, but building guilds need a lot of money, can we reduce the cost to attract more guilds? An important mechanism in our game is that we use DAO to let players vote to rewrite unbalanced game content. The DAO mechanism will become an important part of the EOC ecosystem. This information will be available on our official website soon. Q5. And also what mechanism does your game have to balance small funding players and “whale” players? We spent a lot of time on EOC to balance the advantages of small players and big players. Big players can bring them huge profits through mechanisms such as guild wars; but small players can still gain their own unique advantages through the blind box mechanism and the hero lending system. Communication and cooperation between players, instead of competition, is the most important part of our game. About EoC: EOC is a blockchain game that can develop different strategies while fighting in the Middle Ages. If you are looking for realistic medieval battles and ready to embark on a dangerous path to glory and wealth, then this game is for you. Participants can enjoy a higher level of fun through the advanced Play To Earn (P2E) GameFi model. This game will truly make you rich by rewarding users with a series of mainstream crypto assets including Bitcoin. It features multiplayer GvG tournaments, blind box draws, first blood challenges, and ruthless battles in the arena of the stunning and grim medieval era. Website|Twitter|Discord|Telegram

On December 17, BitWell initial listed the popular GameFi project GoldMiner (GM), opened GM/USDT spot trading, launched deposit and trading tournament. The same day, GoldMiner CTO Victor was a guest of BitWell community, bringing users a project sharing. The following is a complete review of the content of this sharing. Host: Catherine, VP of BitWell Overseas Market Catherine：First, please briefly introduce your career, self-introduction and Gold Miner, what kind of project it is？ Victor：I am one of the principals of Gold Miner, working for a well-known game company in Southeast Asia. GoldMiner aims to build an open and decentralized meta-universe and eliminate the centralized platform of traditional game distribution. Therefore, the ecosystem is very important to protect the interests of all participants and maintain the balance of the economic system’s ecosystem. In order to achieve this goal, the ecosystem design has been carefully considered from three aspects: 1. Ensure that the value of gold tokens continues to increase. 2. Build a complete closed loop of economic ecology. 3. Establish a highly decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) to allow both groups and individuals to win. GoldMiner is a high user, designed to let you gain wealth while enjoying puzzle games. GoldMiner is a classic third-person shooter NFT game, and its condition is that anyone can start playing without paying expensive upfront payments. In addition, “Gold Miner” uses the Play-to-Earn model to provide players with tokens and equipment by participating in dynamic games and PvP tournaments. By seamlessly combining DeFi and P2E models in this way, GoldMiner provides players with the opportunity to play games and get rewards at the same time. In order to create a relaxing environment for players who are not familiar with the cryptocurrency market and NFT, we have added a mechanism called crypto battle to the gameplay to encourage these players to conduct their own research and understand the market. Catherine：How many members do you have in your team since the beginning of its development? Did you have any differences while implementing some plans, and how to resolve them? Victor：Due to the needs of project development, the team initially only had about 20 people, but it has now grown to hundreds. Regarding the issue of anti-robots, we have two internal solutions. After repeated discussions among our internal members and listening to a large number of feedback from real users, we finally decided to sanction these robots. Catherine：Next, please introduce the economic model in the game. How do users make money through this game? Victor：1. Players can start the game and purchase NFT heroes through tutorials to obtain various rare equipment. 2. Play the game in PvE or PvP mode. 3. Players can sell these items on the market and get $GM tokens. 4. You can mint powerful NFTs and use GM tokens to auction them or directly trade with other players. 5. Players can participate in regular tournaments and activities held by the Gold Medal Game Studio to win prizes and rewards. 6. You can bet with other players in PvP mode to get more tokens. Catherine：Can you tell us in detail about the token repurchase and destruction? Victor：We carried out repurchase burns on December 15th, December 8th and November 17th. The cumulative number of burned tokens exceeded 2 billion. This is an amazing number. The detailed information can be found on our Twitter. See, everything is fair and transparent. Catherine：What is your team’s short-term planning for this project? Victor：We will focus on two aspects in the short term. One is marketing. We will find more influential people and exchanges in the cryptocurrency field for deeper cooperation. On the other hand, the focus is on the project itself. The official server of the game is not long after it is online, and there are many areas that need to be optimized. We will give priority to solving this problem and unlock more gameplay in the future. Catherine: Thank you Victor for your answer, let’s take a look at the questions from the community and Victor will pick 5 questions to answer. 1.The game is equipped with an anti-script program, and the processing of scripts is strict. We know that most of their games currently occupy studios, and at the same time borrow some scripts to handle a large number of accounts. If the use of scripts is prohibited, will it affect the game data? Victor：Yes, we have always disliked cheating robots. We are also communicating with many game studios to establish a cooperative relationship without affecting the balance of the game. We will make a formal statement on how to ban robots, and we will also Guarantee the income of normal users, please pay attention to our Twitter. 2.How will the GM project carry out an in-depth cooperation with Pancake? can you give us more details? Victor：This is an explosive news, and we will announce specific information at the right time. Please be patient and will not disappoint users. 3.To appreciate a Play-to-Earn Project,they must have the FUN(in Playing) and of course, the (EARNING). Does @DeFiGoldMiner have all of these Characteristics? Can we,players,have both FUN and EARNINGS in your Platform? Many games have been adjusted according to market conditions since they were launched. Does GM have a backup economic model? My question is about your long term marketing plans. How, or through which big partnerships do you plan on utilising to pass your product onto the normal -especially non-crypto people? What’s the most ambitious goal of your project? What is the ultimate vision that Your project? Victor：For the adjustment of the economic model, we also have some new ideas, but we are not a dictator. Before updating the economic model, we will initiate a vote to allow our users to govern our tokens and communities together. Judging from the current market situation, our decision will be related to the market situation, but our ultimate goal is definitely to launch the world’s largest exchange. I believe this is also the expectation of all users. For those who don’t have cryptocurrency, we will launch a free downloadable version of the game, so that they can try it for free on their computer or mobile phone, but this version does not make them money, it will only make them like this Games and want to learn more. 4.User experience is a very important issue. Especially for new users, what efforts have the project side made? Victor：We will release new game strategies as soon as possible, and will let volunteers in various countries translate, to make the game easier to play and easier to understand. We have been working hard to optimize the game, and we will do better and better to adopt more users’ opinions.

Arctic Dogs (2019) [F-u-l-l M-o-v-i-e] Arctic Dogs (2019) Full Movie Online WATCH HERE ►► http://watch.pickmovi.com/movie/416153/arctic-dogs WATCH HERE ►► http://watch.pickmovi.com/movie/416153/arctic-dogs MOVIE INFO Swifty the Arctic Fox (Jeremy Renner) works in the mailroom of the Arctic Blast Delivery Service, but he has much bigger dreams. He yearns to become a Top Dog, the Arctic’s star husky couriers. To prove he can do it, he commandeers one of the sleds and delivers a mysterious package to a secret location. Once there, he stumbles on a hidden fortress overseen by the nefarious Otto Von Walrus (John Cleese). The blubbery evil genius commands an army of oddly polite puffin henchmen.

Technology has advanced significantly since the first internet livestream but we still turn to video for almost everything. Let’s take a brief look at why livestreaming has been held back so far, and what tech innovations will propel livestreaming to the forefront of internet culture. Right now livestreaming is limited to just a few applications for mass public use and the rest are targeted towards businesses. Livestreaming is to today what home computers were in the early 1980s. The world of livestreaming is waiting for a metaphorical VIC-20, a very popular product that will make live streaming as popular as video through iterations and competition. Image for post Shared Video Do you remember when YouTube wasn’t the YouTube you know today? In 2005, when Steve Chen, Chad Hurley, and Jawed Karim activated the domain “” they had a vision. Inspired by the lack of easily accessible video clips online, the creators of YouTube saw a world where people could instantly access videos on the internet without having to download files or search for hours for the right clip. Allegedly inspired by the site “Hot or Not”, YouTube originally began as a dating site (think 80s video dating), but without a large ingress of dating videos, they opted to accept any video submission. And as we all know, that fateful decision changed all of our lives forever. Because of YouTube, the world that YouTube was born in no longer exists. The ability to share videos on the scale permitted by YouTube has brought us closer to the “global village” than I’d wager anyone thought realistically possible. And now with technologies like Starlink, we are moving closer and closer to that eventuality. Although the shared video will never become a legacy technology, before long it will truly have to share the stage with its sibling, livestreaming. Although livestreaming is over 20 years old, it hasn’t gained the incredible worldwide adoption YouTube has. This is largely due to infrastructure issues such as latency, quality, and cost. Latency is a priority when it comes to livestreams. Latency is the time it takes for a video to be captured and point a, and viewed at point b. In livestreaming this is done through an encoder-decoder function. Video and audio are captured and turned into code, the code specifies which colours display, when, for how long, and how bright. The code is then sent to the destination, such as a streaming site, where it is decoded into colours and audio again and then displayed on a device like a cell phone. The delay between the image being captured, the code being generated, transmitted, decoded, and played is consistently decreasing. It is now possible to stream content reliably with less than 3 seconds of latency. Sub-second latency is also common and within the next 20 or so years we may witness the last cable broadcast (or perhaps cable will be relegated to the niche market of CB radios, landlines, and AM transmissions). On average, the latency associated with a cable broadcast is about 6 seconds. This is mainly due to limitations on broadcasts coming from the FCC or another similar organization in the interests of censorship. In terms of real-life, however, a 6 second delay on a broadcast is not that big of a deal. In all honesty a few hours’ delay wouldn’t spell the doom of mankind. But for certain types of broadcasts such as election results or sporting events, latency must be kept at a minimum to maximize the viability of the broadcast. Sensitive Content is Hard to Monitor Advances in AI technologies like computer vision have changed the landscape of internet broadcasting. Before too long, algorithms will be better able to prevent sensitive and inappropriate content from being broadcast across the internet on livestreaming platforms. Due to the sheer volume of streams it is much harder to monitor and contain internet broadcasts than it is cable, but we are very near a point where the ability to reliably detect and interrupt inappropriate broadcasts instantaneously. Currently, the majority of content is monitored by humans. And as we’ve learned over the last 50 or so years, computers and machines are much more reliable and consistent than humans could ever be. Everything is moving to an automated space and content moderation is not far behind. We simply don’t have the human resources to monitor every livestream, but with AI we won’t need it. Video Quality In the last decade we have seen video quality move from 720p to 1080p to 4K and beyond. I can personally remember a time when 480p was standard and 720p was considered a luxury reserved for only the most well funded YouTube videos. But times have changed and people expect video quality of at least 720p. Live streaming has always had issues meeting the demands of video quality. When watching streams on platforms like Twitch, the video can cut out, lag, drop in quality, and stutter all within about 45 seconds. Of course this isn’t as rampant now as it once was, however, sudden drops in quality will likely be a thorn in the side of live streams for years to come. Internet Speeds Perhaps the most common issue one needs to tackle when watching a live stream is their internet speed. Drops in video quality and connection are often due to the quality of the internet connection between the streamer and the viewer. Depending on the location of the parties involved, their distance from the server, and allocated connection speed the stream may experience some errors. And that’s just annoying. Here is a list of the recommended connection speeds for 3 of the most popular streaming applications: Facebook Live recommends a max bit rate of 4,000 kbps, plus a max audio bit rate of 128 kbps. YouTube Live recommends a range between 1,500 and 4,000 kbps for video, plus 128 kbps for audio. Twitch recommends a range between 2,500 and 4,000 kbps for video, plus up to 160 kbps for audio. Live streams are typically available for those of us with good internet. Every day more people are enjoying high quality speeds provided by fibre optic lines, but it will be a while until these lines can truly penetrate rural and less populated areas. Perhaps when that day comes we will see an upsurge of streaming coming from these areas. Language Barrier You can pause and rewind a video if you didn’t understand or hear something, and many video sharing platforms provide the option for subtitles. But you don’t really get that with a live stream. Pausing and rewinding an ongoing stream defeats the purpose of watching a stream. However, the day is soon approaching where we will be able to watch streams, in our own native language with subtitles, even if the streamer speaks something else. Microsoft Azure’s Cognitive Speech Services can give livestreaming platforms an edge in the future as it allows for speech to be automatically translated from language to language. The ability to watch a livestream in real time, with the added benefit of accurate subtitles in one’s own language, will also assist language learners in deciphering spontaneous speech. Monetization One of the most damning features of a live stream is the inherent difficulty in monetizing it. As mentioned before, videos can be paused and ads inserted. In videos, sponsored segments can be bought where the creators of the video read lines provided to them. Ads can run before videos etc. But in the case of a spontaneous live stream sponsored content will stick out. In the case of platforms like YouTube there are ways around ads. Ad blockers, the skip ad button, the deplorable premium account, and fast forwarding through sponsored segments all work together to limit the insane amount of ads we see every day. But in the case of a live stream, ads are a bit more difficult. Live streaming platforms could implement sponsored overlays and borders or a similar graphical method of advertising, but the inclusion of screen shrinking add-ons like that may cause issues on smaller devices where screen size is already limited. Monthly subscriptions are already the norm, but in the case of a live streaming platform (Twitch Prime not withstanding), it may be difficult for consumers to see the benefit in paying for a service that is by nature unscheduled and unpredictable. Live streams are great for quick entertainment, but as they can go on for hours at a time, re-watching streamed content is inherently time consuming. For this reason, many streamers cut their recorded streams down and upload them to platforms like YouTube where they are monetized through a partnership program. It is likely that for other streaming platforms to really take off, they would need to partner with a larger company and offer services similar to Amazon and Twitch. What Might the Future of Livestreaming Look Like? It is difficult to say, as it is with any speculation about the future. Technologies change and advance beyond the scope of our imaginations virtually every decade. But one thing that is almost a certainty is the continued advancement in our communications infrastructure. Fibre optic lines are being run to smaller towns and cities. Services like Google Fiber, which is now only available at 1 gigabit per second, have shown the current capabilities of our internet infrastructure. As services like this expand we can expect to see a large increase in the number of users seeking streams as the service they expect to interact with will be more stable than it currently is now. Livestreaming, at the moment, is used frequently by gamers and Esports and hasn’t yet seen the mass commercial expansion that is coming. The future of live streaming is on its way. For clues for how it may be in North America we can look to Asia (taobao). Currently, livestreaming is quite popular in the East in terms of a phenomenon that hasn’t quite taken hold on us Westerners, Live Commerce. With retail stores closing left and right, we can’t expect Amazon to pick up all of the slack (as much as I’m sure they would like to). …

Argentina, wine country: you stole our hearts Salta, Cafayate, Mendoza, Uco Valley We got to Salta on a gloriously sunny day with high expectations for Argentina. Expectations exceeded. Salta is a very European city, in the north of the country. It was pretty great after months of (albeit wonderful) Andean environments. On the first night we went to a ‘pena’ — or a traditional folk party — with some Argentine girls we met at the hostel. It was in a great restaurant called La Casona del Molino and there was singing, dancing, clapping and all round locals having a fantastic time. There was a slight awkward moment when the oldest (but younger than us!) Argentine lady said she wanted the Falklands back. Now, this is a bit uncomfortable, because obviously neither Rachel or Matt really care about the Falklands, but Matt was buggered if he was going to let an Argentine say they belonged to them. But Matt doesn’t really like fighting. So Matt just asked why the woman liked sheep farming, but she said she didn’t like sheep farming, so Matt asked why she wanted the Falkland islands, and she said that wasn’t the point. Luckily the conversation moved on. Matt, happy. The next day we had our first proper steaks. And they were amazing. Matt was in his spiritual home, inasmuch as any religion worships raw cow flesh. We made it until 2am, when the locals were just getting started, but decided not to go clubbing after consuming our body weight in food and wine (Matt was later to spend some time working out if in the last two weeks we have ACTUALLY consumed our body weight in food and wine, Rachel thinks it is a metaphor.) (But Matt takes over here.) So it’s a bottle and a half each a day, and maybe a quarter pound of beef a day. Therefore, at the time of writing it has been 20kg total, which is good, and to be honest, it is starting to show, but it’s not our body weight. Still, two more weeks left! Rachel, happy. We decided to go on a little adventure and headed to the magical little suburb of San Lorenzo. We hadn’t known what to expect, but it wasn’t the little woodland adventure that we ended up having. It was delightful. We met a man running a vineyard business where you can buy your own plot for £35k, if you happen to have the cash. …talking of vineyards, it was time to pack up and head into wine country proper. Rachel loves, loves, loves this guy, she also likes Matt So to Cafayate, also in the north, where they make high-altitude wines. Delicious, delicious, high altitude wines (if at any point the wine descriptions get boring just imagine a shepherd’s crook yanking Matt off the stage and skip ahead). Our first day was spent in a hostel, and we went on a mini tour of wineries in the area, accompanied by a dog friend we met on the way. Matt was taking notes on the wines for Rachel’s next Metro article, so we could, arguably, call this “work.” (We tried about 15 wines, which Rachel thought was a lot, and Matt thought was “a good start.”) This blog could well have been titled “Argentina… or the one in which we enjoy the perks of travel journalism”. For the next two days we stayed at a hotel Rachel is reviewing, and because we want to keep our readers (and friends), the less we say is probably the better (the private hot tub alone would get us into a lot of trouble). But it looked a little like this. (Normally Matt is the only one to look this smug, but Rachel has clearly been taking notes.) “Posh” Rachel on her umpteenth horse ride, Matt on his second (WINE: Nanni Tannat 2017; 7.5/10, rich liquorice notes and — urk [shepherd’s crook]) However, Rachel is happy to report Matt has now been on his second horse. He managed to get the naughty one again, who spent the hour ride trying to nibble everything in sight. Matt eventually got the hang of controlling him, claiming “he knows who the boss is.” Rachel knows who the boss is. Logo design by Matt, who is pictured, as a Rat We also made our own wine, which was very fun, blending different wines and grapes and styles. Rachel more or less just let Matt enjoy himself (a lot), getting all worked up over which percentage of which grape ought to go together (40% Malbec, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Tannat). It was undeniably delicious in the end — turns out idiots abroad can actually made a decent bottle of vino. It was time to move on (it wasn’t we went to lots more wineries, but this is essentially boring to read about, needless to say, we drank loads of wines, Matt started to become bloated), and another 24 hours journey (literally 24 hours on a smelly, expensive bus) took us to Mendoza. Mendoza is in central Argentina and is its most famous wine region. Buy a steak and you should buy a Mendoza Malbec. Uco Valley, near Mendoza — just LOOK at it Continuing our flashpacking run, we had a lovely couple of days in the south of Mendoza staying at a family-run hotel called Finca Adalgisa. We used their bikes to explore the area, visiting various wineries (Matt: “I’m getting nose fatigue”. Which is a thing, sometimes there’s only so many wines you can try. If any ex-Laithwaites people read this they will be able to back me up — Rachel: Matt was now rapidly developing gout, so its best he slowed down.) We even had a bath in wine, but you can read all about that in Rachel’s upcoming article (we didn’t take pictures, you’ll be pleased to hear.) Then, to the Uco Valley, 70 miles south of Mendoza, to get there we rented a motorbike. Our steed, 1000cc, should have killed us Matt, happy. Matt having not driven a manual in many years (since a memorable occasion in the woods when he was 15 on a bike Tony (remember him mum?) probably stole), there were several false starts. We got a nervous message from the owner saying “everything ok?” when we got there, to which he responded with no less than 10 clapping emojis. So we made it, and it was bloody gorgeous. RESPETO MI BANDERA So to more vineyard tours and tastings, at the point where Matt decided we probably had consumed our combined body weight in food and wine (we hadn’t, as discussed….yet). We had an interesting lunch at a restaurant/bodega(winery) called La Azul, where our host was wearing their official t-shirt… which said… RESPECT MY FLAG overlaid on the Falkland islands. This is Matt, not arguing about the Falklands Matt doesn’t want to get into this, because Rachel won’t let him, but he will. But Argentine hasn’t got, and never has had, any claim to the Falkland islands and it is super weird how much they care about these essentially worthless islands. They really care, and it would be adorably weird had loads of people not died for it. If you really hate yourself you can read this wikipedia page but the bottom line is the inhabitants don’t want to be Argentine and that’s that. However, Matt hasn’t got into a proper row about it yet, because he’s scared of getting beaten up. He has been a bit sarcastic, so chalk that up for improving Argentine-British relations. Anyway, Rachel is back — our fancy double life was over, we’d had six nights of utter luxury, and it was time to head back to a hostel in Mendoza (and a 6 bed dorm) where we are going to spend Christmas. So, taking off our fancy-pants, we will leave this here.

Prospective Swansea coach Marcelo Bielsa excited to not have methods understood in whole new league TBN Sport Dec 15, 2015·1 min read As speculation heats up after the sacking of Garry Monk, prospective Swansea City coach Marcelo Bielsa has expressed excitement at not having his methods fully understood in a whole new league. The odds on the Argentinian taking over at the Liberty City stadium were slashed on Monday after it was revealed that chairman Huw Jenkins had flown out to meet him. Speaking to media today, he revealed his giddiness at having his meticulous methods misunderstood and interpreted in a different footballing landscape. “It’s very exciting. I’ve coached in a lot of places but the Premier League is different. If I’m honest, I’ve always dreamed of having all of my methods questioned by staff and media in England,” said the former Athletic Bilbao coach, adding that he relished the challenge of having a completely different style of footballer revolt against his tactics and methodology roughly six months into his proposed reign. “Football is a universal language that everyone understands. I have no doubt that if I take this job, my players will quickly learn to adapt to and then disregard my ideas fully.” Share and follow TBN on Twitter.

The cover of Lady Flo’s book: Thankfully, I kept crossing rivers on horseback to a minimum. I spent the month of January in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Ostensibly to complete a short-term exchange and get some study credit during the holidays, but mostly just to go on an extended holiday to an exotic new continent. I think little nail-pulling is needed to reveal something similar as the honest collective motive of most Uni students who undertake various study trips or exchanges. I stocked up on 36mm film — rationalising that I’d be more likely to treasure a few rolls of 24 exposures than the infinite contents of my iPhone camera roll — and ramped up the Spanish on DuoLingo. My travel reading of choice was Lady Florence Dixie’s 1880 memoir, Across Patagonia. Somewhat obscure, I’d ordered it online a few weeks in advance of my departure date. I’m glad I chose such an old book. I’m also glad it didn’t have a plot, because I wasn’t anxious about ‘feeling something’ super strong by the end of it. The pressure of falling in love with a bestseller (the way in which everybody else has done so, thus making it a bestseller) can be suffocating. Instead, this memoir was more like a personalised time capsule of research rather than narrative. Since I didn’t get to go to Patagonia (OS-HELP will take you far, but not that far), I liked reading about it. For context, Dixie wrote Across Patagonia ‘for’ the future King Edward VII. Not many people had been to South America yet, which meant her recounts were decently useful information. That also meant she included some pretty painful (i.e. racist) descriptions of the indigenous people. But what I couldn’t help noticing was that it meant she showed off a lot when describing various events along the road. If something is beautiful, its stunning. If the horses wander from the camp, they stray miles away. If they shoot a guanaco for dinner, its only after a long and dramatic chase. Even if her stories are true and I’m not just pathetically cynical, even if she’s not over-exaggerating the prairie fire or whatever it may be, she still gets to pick and choose the stories she includes. And that’s where I found the most similarity between my own trip and Dixie’s, more so than being in the same country or eating the same food. Those finite film photos I painstakingly develop, only to upload them straight to Instagram, represent a calculated, glorified, and filtered version of my trip. The steak is only ever ridiculously delicious (never mind the below-average one from the first night), and the streets are only ever perfectly quaint (never mind parts of the city that just… well, look like Brisbane). When something is bad, it’s disastrous (thank you to the night-long blackout and freaky classmates for that content). Both Dixie and I are taking the opportunity to filter our travels before we share it with people whose opinions we care about. And perhaps that blunts the significance of what we do share. I’m not trying to depress, or polarise, or cry woe-is-us, the social media generation. If anything it shows that after all these years we still do the same old shit when telling stories. Nobody’s lives are consistently interesting, but we continue to chase the moments when they are. And that’s not just tolerable, it’s good. It allows us to grasp for relation with this woman who decided to head off to the new world two-months post-partum, returning with a jaguar and some corrections for Charles Darwin regarding observations from his own trip to the region. My own exploits in South America may have not have been quite as dramatic, but it didn’t stop me from trying to get a good story and photo out of it.

The Mercado San Telmo is a large under roof market that is located in San Telmo neighborhood of the city of Buenos Aires. The whole neighborhood is packed with great places to eat, fantastic art and design shops, vintage and local designer clothes, and just wandering and looking around is a pleasure with its colorful and vivid streets. The market especially is home to some very delicious food, and even though it conserves old shops and sellers of vegetables and meats, at present it is more like a tourist place and the antique dealers are disappearing. Inside, some part of it still functions as a real market, and the stores are still selling fish, meat, seasonal vegetables and fruits. But anyhow, this place recently has transformed into a gastronomic hub and definitely more popular for the live kitchen bars, parrillas, bakeries and empanada sellers. I think I ate the best empanada of my life here, with spicy paprika salsa 😋 at the corner bar, called . Not to mention the lovely cafés with mouthwatering Alfajores selections. Right next to El Hornero, you can find the lovely Chantal Café… we simply couldn’t resist. The building has an entrance on each side from the surrounding streets, and some of the stores are also having doors from the streets too, including the liquor stores, restaurants and some notable bars: “ San Pedro Telmo”, “ Bar Merci” and “ La Coruña “. On the upper level of the market you can find mainly souvenir shops, postcards and magnet sellers and vintage art sellers. Plus my favorite store of all: Dulce de Leche & Co. We were already after our Uruguayan week, with having the opportunity to eat Dulce de Leche almost for every breakfast in whichever cake variant, alfajores, and so on. Plus, in Hungary we also have a very similar thing, so called tejkaramella available and it’s very popular among kids, so the taste was not that surprisingly new for me. Still, even though it was extremely sweet for my taste, it was reminding me of my childhood, sweet memories. And when I saw this store, besides it looked super cute from the outside, I decided to take a look inside. I didn’t want to buy anything, I swear, 😉 but I ended up buying different kind of spreads, chocolates, dulce de leche cubes, alfajores, whatever souvenirs out of dulce de leche for everyone. 😁 The only limitations I had to keep in mind was the size of my backpack, that was already very well packed. Net-net, the store is super cute, with a wide variety of different types of dulce de leche and the store manager was just so kind, nice and friendly and let us taste almost all desired variants. Highly recommended! 😋

Argentina travel guide covering Buenos Aires, Mendoza and Iguazú The basics Walk everywhere. Taxis are fairly well-regulated which means that if you’re coming from the UK, they’re also super-cheap. They’re definitely the most convenient airport transfer though make sure you book from inside the airport. The ‘Subte’ or Metro/Subway/Underground is cheaper but it’s coverage is quite limited in Buenos Aires. We barely used it. Buses are even cheaper if you can make sense of them. We tried once and failed. Take all the cash you’ll spend with you because Argentina loves cash but ATMs cost as much as £10 for each withdrawal. We took all our money in USD which you can spend in the more touristy places. You can also get away with Euros or GBP but you can only change these into Argentine (not Argentinian!!) pesos (ARS$) at Banco Nacional at the airport. They don’t accept money with any markings on it e.g. written on in ink. There’ll be a queue but it’s worth waiting. You can also use the street “cambios” but convenience aside, there’s no real reason to do this. When we did, they gave us a worse rate than the bank and you have no safeguards against things like fake currency which seems to be quite a big problem. Starling or Monzo give good rates on card payments if you don’t want to use cash. Cards are accepted in many places but you can’t rely on that. Mobile roaming doesn’t seem to be a thing. I’m on Three which you can use your UK plan on pretty much the entire planet but not in Argentina. Pretty much every bar/restaurant has wi fi though. If you don’t speak Spanish, get on Duo Lingo pronto. The basics will take you a very long way! In restaurants and bars, always tip exactly 10%. In taxis, round up to the nearest ARS$100. Carry your passport everywhere. I got asked for it daily e.g. when paying via card Buenos Aires Suburbs We explored quite a lot of the central bit of Buenos Aires but we stayed away from the outskirts because they look super-ropey. The bits I’ll talk about were lovely though. Belgrano Quite a way from the centre but worth a visit. It’s home to the bizarre but brilliant ‘Holy Land’, and also, to China town which is mostly supermarkets and shops but it also has a couple of nice spots we went to with some BA locals: Puerta Uno — very nice ‘speakeasy’ with reasonably-priced drinks and semi-outdoor space Parrilla EL Pobre Luis — Uruguayian Parrilla (Argentine word for ‘grill’) which does a mean asado (Argentine word for ‘barbecue’). Not super-cheap but very good 👍 Palermo and Palermo Hollywood Very nice, ‘hipster’ neighbourhood which is closer to the center than Belgrano. If you haven’t already booked accommodation, this wouldn’t be a bad shout. It’s nice during the day but it really comes alive at night, especially on weekends. Plenty of great restaurants and bars on Gurruchugha, between Plaza Italia and Plazoletto Julio Cortázar — the former Plaza has easy access to the zoo (closed on Mondays), Gallileo Galilei observatory (ugly but worth a look) and Japanese gardens; the latter has lots of markets and terrace bars (good for drinks but I wouldn't recommend it for food). Palermo is also home to what’s arguably Buenos Aires’ most famous restaurant, Dom Julio’s. It’s an experience but it’s very expensive/overpriced (£100 for dinner + drinks) and we had to wait for 2 hours to get a table. You can reserve online in advance but on the day walk-ins have to reserve in person. You can put your name down and find a bar around the corner though if you don’t fancy waiting outside and drinking the complimentary glasses of fizz for those in the queue. Other good places include: Clara — craft beer (or birra artesanal bar — oddly, they use the Italian ‘birra’ rather than the more spanish ‘cerveza’) — and it’s a very nice bar which also does a bit of food. I recommend the pork burger. Temple — very similar to Clara but they have outdoor heaters if you go there in the evening and it’s cold outside Sans — lovely little restaurant which local families use as a bit of a Sunday spot. La Panera Rosa — breakfast/brunch place. It’s a chain but it’s great 💯 The walk from Plaza Italia to Retiro is a long one (about 3 miles) but it’s a nice one. Recoletta & Retiro Like London’s Mayfair with embassies, galleries, fashion boutiques like Luis Vuitton, posh hotels and townhouses. Not many young people. This is where you’ll find Recoletta cemetery which is a bit of a must-see as one of the few bona fide tourist attractions in BA. It’s worth at least a 30-minute walk around. It also has a ‘Freddo’ nearby which is a famous chain of Gelattaria’s in BA. Plaza General St Martin is impressive and it’s also where the Retiro subway station is. Don’t go behind the station though. It’s home to BA’s slums (like the favelas of Rio de Janeiro) so it’s not safe. Other stuff to see in this area include: The Avenida 9 de Julio super-wide street which is famous for being… wide. And it’s also the street with the impressive — but ugly — obelisco. The beautiful teatro Colon and Plaza Lavalle (pronouced la-va-zhey — look up ‘yeismo’) Casa Rosada which is the president’s official residence and is on Plaza de Mayo (pronouced ma-zho — look up ‘yeismo’). The Plaza de Mayo is famous for being the venue of a lot of protests. Argentinians love a protest. It’d be a surprise if you spent a week there but managed not to see one For food and drink: The Four Seasons hotel is probably my top recommendation for food in BA. Feels very European so don’t go there if you’re looking for the local experience. I had my best steak of the whole trip at their Elena restaurant. Terrazas is a shopping mall which sounds dull but it has a few outdoor bars. Great for evening drinks if the weather is nice but have your food elsewhere. Food options aren’t great. Posadas has quite a few nice restaurants/bars including Sorrento Recova which has a nice little outdoor space Puerto Madero Newest part of BA with a lot of “after-work” bars and restaurants around the marina. It’s also BA’s central business district with quite a few tall buildings housing the likes of HSBC. It’s a bit like BA’s Canary Wharf. Take some time to walk around the ecological reserve built on reclaimed land. It’ll take about 3–4 hours to walk around. If you’re a birdwatcher, bring your telephoto lens! Otherwise, there are also many nice spots for an outdoor picnic. The Avenida Hernan M. Giralt runs alongside it and is also worth a look. It has a parade of statues featuring Argentina’s most famous sports stars (look out for Messi). Montserrat and La Boca The heart of BA where a lot of people work. Things get a bit ropey as you go further south ‘downtown’ but it’s worth doing if you want to see the Plaza del Congresso (another protest hot spot), the oudoor amphitheatre and the Museu d’art contemporani de Buenos Aires — museum of modern arts. You can also walk all the way past Plaza Constitucion to La Bombonera and El Caminito in La Boca. La Bombonera is where the Boca Juniors play their home games. Their fans are nuts and the stadium itself is quite something to behold. It’s pretty much impossible to get tickets for a home game but if you can, it’s supposed to be incredible. Don’t buy them off touts though; you’re almost certain to be scammed. El Caminito is the super-colourful street pretty much built for tourists. Tonnes of markets for souvenirs and also, lots of lovely restaurants which typically do tango shows as you eat. We went to La Barrica. If you don’t fancy walking all the way back, get a taxi to Constitucion and jump on the Subte. Outside Buenos Aires Uruguay Buequebus runs high-speed catamaran ferries to the historic Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay which makes it ideal for a day trip. It costs about £50 and takes about an hour. You can either leave at 8am or 12pm, returning at 4pm or 9pm — the later one lets you watch the sunset from one of the seafront restaurants (though technically, it’s an estuary rather than the ocean). Don’t bother with Montevideo the Uruguayian capital; you can also get there from BA but it’s about 3x the price and involves over 6 hours of ferries in one day. Tigre If you don’t mind a train journey, Tigre is worth a visit. It’s small little town with a lot of waterways because it’s built around the river delta. Everyone gets around on water taxis which are probably a better way of getting to know the place than the official tours. For food, Gato Blanco restaurant is basic but good. Mendoza Probably the most enjoyable part of my trip was visiting Mendoza. We flew from the Aeroparque (different airport to the one where we arrived — Ezeiza). Tours are relatively expensive so we only stayed here for about 3 days because there isn’t a huge amount else to do/see. It’s more a city where people live than visit I think. We booked all of our tours through a travel agent in the Sheraton hotel and we found out from someone who joined us that it was half the price of buying online. If you haven’t booked your accom, this in itself is a good reason to stay in a hotel rather than an Airbnb. Tours run everday but weekends have the most options. We did the bike vineyard tour which was awesome and a day trip to The Andes which was a bit of a long day but worthwhile. It gets cold so pack more than shorts & flip flops. Avenida Aristides Villanova is pretty much the only you want to go to for food/drink. Super-busy at the weekend; a tonne of options though my absolute favourite was La Lucia which has a nice outside seating area. Not the cheapest but incredible food. There’s another La Lucia on Plaza Independencia. The square itself is impressive and it’s worth a look as the defacto centre of town. Other recommendations from a local were Chachinga and Beerlin. Iguazú Most people only visit Iguazú for one or two days. It’s super-touristy and there’s nothing much there beyond the waterfalls but my god, they’re breathtaking. The Argentine side does take about 6–8 hours to see so get there early. The Brazillian side takes 2–4 hours and you don’t need a visa. Another reason to get there early when you go and see the Argentine side is so you can get tickets for the boat tour. It’s about US$100 (on top of the US$35 it costs just to get into the park) but definitely worthwhile. If you have a poncho and a dry bag, take them. The boat literally goes underneath a waterfall and you will get drenched. Take a packed lunch if you can be bothered — food options aren’t great — but we survived on Empanadas. Beware the quati though. Not only are they known to bite/scratch but they will also happily nab your food if you don’t keep a close eye on it. There’s a regular shuttle bus from the centre of town to the falls (cataratas) and there’s also a regular shuttle bus from the airport to any hotel. They cost about ARS$250 but we just got taxis everywhere because there were two of us and taxis are ARS$600–700 to pretty much everywhere. I’ve heard Salta, Rosario, Cordoba and Patagonia are also worth a look but couldn’t cram them into our 2 week visit but that’s my guide to Argentina. Enjoy your trip! This map has the places I’ve mentioned and also look at this blog by my pal Helen.

Early in the morning and fifty or so kilometers from Paris, the green fields roll gently in the early morning mist. The sun rises slowly to the east. It’s as if I’m watching a French film, its deliberate meditative pace, through the lozenge window of my tiny black Renault Twingo. In the middle of the green fields, stucco and tile farmhouses interrupt the eye, draw it in and make you wonder about the length of time these places have been here. You feel the age of the land, its harmony. Then the outskirts of Paris ease in — first a neighborhood of mid sized buildings, then corporations that dot the suburbs, big buildings. Until suddenly there it is, the sign “Paris-Centre”. The traffic slows and narrows, though still in 6 lanes. A tunnel — and Paris rises beyond it, the Siene running along the highway urging you on. It was a long way to get here — literally and metaphorically. The day and night before I crossed southern Sweden, a half of Denmark, and a major part of Germany — Hambourg, Hannover, Douseldorf to, finally, Luxemberg where I saw my first grape vines and I smiled because I knew France was near. I began the day by leaving Lund at 7AM and got to about 100kilometers of Paris by midnight or so. The key to my apartment was being held in a café (very French) and I tried frantically to call on my cell but I was doing something wrong and couldn’t get through. I knew they’d be closed by the time I entered France — besides, I didn’t want to tackle streets and things in the dark without the guarantee of a bed to lay my head. So I did what I would have done 30 or years ago — I’m glad I recalled — I slept in a truck stop in my car. I slept through the night and awakened a bit stiff at 5AM, washed up, drank a double espresso and began the journey into Paris. I don’t know, maybe I’m overly romantic, but when I saw “Paris-Centre,” I got emotional. Perhaps it was simply that I was working really hard to erase all images I have of Paris, all of which come from literature and film, and of course, my family, mostly my mother. The emotions escalated when I realized that the entry to Paris, the way I came in, is almost identical to the entrance to Buenos Aires. Even the first signs of the city immediately catapulted me to Buenos Aires. I was in two places at once — a very Borgesian experience; or to put it in the tradition of contemporary French philosophy: since I’m here, I was always who I am, always being the other I find now. I have always been here, though I was seeing it for the very first time. I was seeing myself in this light for the first time. This implies that psychologically I had been ready for this experience and that all my experiences leading to this moment had prepared me for my first visit to Paris. I was always already in Paris. I hugged the Seine and drove ever so slowly. The pay off for sleeping in the car was coming into a city yet to awaken — this awakened me. I drove carefully, deliberately, my eyes on the classic beauty, the barges, the old buildings, the narrow streets — and the street signs and my map. That’s how I did it. I’d go so far, stop and look at my map; memorize routes and street names, calculating how much time I’d travel to get to my next stop. Then do this again. Within ten minutes of being in the city, I found the Restaurant Retirement, which held my keys. Unbelievably, they were cleaning and I had to wait only five minutes for the keys, held by the manager. She gave me an envelop with my name on it and I opened it. In it, the keys and the address — no directions. Very French! This, too, made me feel as if I was in Argentina — same minimalist approach to everything, letting one fend for himself. Argentina and France share a similar aesthetic in that the native wants the tourist to interpret signs, thus moving him or her towards becoming a visitor, one who is not there to merely look at sites, but rather, one who is there to be affected by the place, its people and history. I got some directions, but I knew, between their French-English and my English-French, that I wasn’t being told the entire story. Back to the map. Immediately I found the street on the map, but I had to go through a series of circles, “DO NOT ENTER” circumlocutions until, a half hour later, I found the place. I lived on Rue Mouffetard,a street in the Ve arrondissement, near the Sorbonne. It is a quiet, narrow little area; it’s very neighborly, a real community, which is what I like. I was on the first floor of a beautiful building with a wonderful interior garden — something you read about or find in French movies. Outside, next door, a Creperie, of course; and down the block, about 50 meters, a small grocery store from which I purchased eggs, juice and, yes, bread and wine. And right in front of the little grocery store, a wonderful circle, all cobblestone, lined with cafes. Right around me are streets such as Diderot, Pascal, Descartes. When I arrived at my studio apartment, obtained through Parissimo, specializing in short term rentals, the city was barely awakening. I could hear the voices outside from my opened French balcony windows. I could also hear the birds and the pigeons. It was overcast and cool, so good for walking. Numerous church bells sang, calling. And I felt very, very lucky. Very fortunate, indeed.

Ycash Is Coming to Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain The Ycash Foundation will launch ERC-20 tokens representing wrapped Ycash on both Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain Ycash Foundation Nov 28, 2020·4 min read James Tissot, “Departure of the prodigal son” (1863). Oil on canvas. Petit Palais, Paris, France. By Howard Loo, Ycash Foundation Announcement I am excited to announce that the Ycash Foundation will launch ERC-20 tokens representing “wrapped” Ycash on both Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain by January 15, 2021. These tokens will enable Ycash holders to use Ycash with Decentralized Finance (DeFi) applications like Uniswap on Ethereum and PancakeSwap on Binance Smart Chain. The tokens will be centrally managed by the Ycash Foundation. Specifically, the Ycash Foundation will handle the minting and burning of the tokens, as well as the custody of the underlying Ycash coins. Information about how to obtain wYEC will be will be provided prior to launch. The Ethereum token and the Binance Smart Chain token will each have their own distinct names and ticker symbols, to be announced at launch. Until then, I will refer to both tokens interchangeably by the placeholder name wYEC. The Ycash Foundation hopes that one day Ycash will be integrated into a more decentralized wrapping protocol like Ren, but we aren’t going to wait around for that to happen. By launching wYEC, we are taking matters into our own hands and delivering DeFi capabilities to Ycash users now. We choose Ethereum because of its preeminence. Ethereum is truly revolutionary, and we want to give Ycash users the opportunity to participate in that revolution. With that said, we are aware that the Ethereum network’s transaction fees have risen to a point that may make some uses of wYEC on Ethereum cost-prohibitive. Although we strongly believe that Ethereum 2.0 will eventually bring down transaction fees significantly, we have listened to the feedback of Ycash users who want to use Ycash with DeFi applications as soon as possible on a network with low transaction fees. To that end, we will also deploy wYEC on Binance Smart Chain. Ycash, like Bitcoin, is sound money: There will never be more than 21 million Ycash coins, and 95% of all future block rewards will be fairly allocated to Ycash users via the free market mining process. These are the sacred promises upon which Ycash was founded, and the Ycash Foundation is the institution that will insure that these sacred promises are honored — forever. wYEC brings the fair, trusted, sound money approach of Ycash to the exciting world of DeFi. Motivations More Ways to Buy and Sell Ycash We have faced difficulties getting Ycash listed on additional centralized exchanges. Many centralized exchanges charge exorbitant listing fees, and the top-tier centralized exchanges that do not charge listing fees are not as eager to list coins with smaller market capitalizations like Ycash as they were in, say, the 2016 and 2017 timeframe. We will continue to work towards getting Ycash listed on more centralized exchanges. But luckily for Ycash users, the world seems to be moving on from centralized exchanges to more permissionless alternatives. Once wYEC is launched, we can immediately list wYEC pairs on automated market makers like Uniswap without asking anyone’s permission. That is beauty and power of a decentralized, permissionless platform. I am particularly interested in fostering pairings between Ycash and popular stable coins . For example, I will work with other Ycash users to create liquid wYEC/USDC and wYEC/BUSD pairings on Uniswap and other automated market makers. More Ways to Use Ycash wYEC has the potential to give Ycash users exciting new ways to use Ycash: By providing wYEC-related liquidity toautomated market makers, Ycash users will be able to use their Ycash for so-called “yield farming” (also known as “liquidity mining”). As DeFi lending markets evolve, wYEC could eventually allow Ycash users to use their Ycash holdings as collateral for loans. Similarly, future DeFi lending markets could eventually allow Ycash users lend out their Ycash and earn interest. As innovators in the Ethereum ecosystem create new uses cases for ERC-20 tokens, wYEC will enable Ycash users to enjoy these new use cases as soon as they are launched. More Users In order for Ycash to reach its full potential, we need A LOT of new Ycash users. By enabling new ways to acquire Ycash and new ways to use Ycash, I believe that wYEC has the potential to bring new users to Ycash (especially users interested in DeFi). Furthermore, once wYEC is launched, anyone with an ERC-20-compatible Ethereum wallet will be able to hold Ycash (via wYEC) without even needing to download a Ycash wallet. This lowers the barriers for any Ethereum user who wants to hold a bit of Ycash. Currently, Ycash users are free to choose between storing Ycash in a transparent way (similar to Bitcoin) or storing Ycash in a shielded pool. With the launch of wYEC, there will now be a third option: storing Ycash as wYEC on Ethereum or Binance Smart Chain. I envision wYEC being a “first-class citizen” in the Ycash ecosystem, with some Ycash users choosing to use wYEC as a long-term store of value. Join Us I invite you to join the ranks of Ycash users in advance of the launch of wYEC. I will be hosting several live discussion sessions leading up to the launch. Follow the YcashFoundation on Twitter to be notified of these sessions.

STAX Holders VIP Program and Withdrawal Fee Discounts As the release of our DEX gets closer we wanted to share some details with you guys regarding the Holders VIP Program and Withdrawal Fee Discounts. Withdrawal fees program Holding a given amount of STAX based on a 30 days average will enable our users to benefits from those VIP tiers and save on withdrawal fees as shown below. This was super important for us in designing this, because we felt that VIP tier programs are not very fair for regular users on centralised exchanges 1. We want every users to have >0 STAX in their wallet, so $600 today would get you all the way to a VIP4 level 2. It’s not transparent on centralised exchanges who gets fee rebates or who got the top vip tiers — there could be insiders who get better rates, etc. Here, everything is onchain, so if one dont maintain the necessary average balance of STAX to reach a tier, one will not be able to get the top rebates. That if one are a high frequency trader, they also know how many other accounts have the same or better fee rebate tier as another, and can adjust their strategies accordingly. This is super super important for attracting the large volume to come over to StableXswap. 3. As always, these parameters are subject to change, but we welcome feedback and input from the community and hope to hear from you guys as we roll this out. VIP 1 1000 STAX = 20% off withdrawal fees VIP 2 2,500 STAX = 30% off withdrawal fees VIP 3 5,000 STAX = 40% off withdrawal fees VIP 4 10,000 STAX = 50% off withdrawal fees VIP 5 50,000 STAX = 60% off withdrawal fees VIP 6 100,000 STAX = 75% off withdrawal Fees VIP 7 250,000 STAX = 88% off withdrawal fees VIP 8 500,000 STAX = 100% off withdrawal fees Why this withdrawal fees program? Simply to incentivize users to stay as Liquidity providers in our new DEX pools, as too many people switching to chase the highest short term yields leads to unstable liquidity for our users. We specifically will structure this as a withdrawal fee, rather than a deposit fee (which is how some other projects do it), because someone who comes in and deposits for one year only pays the fee once, someone that hops in and out of pools 10 or 20 times would face the fee, unless they hold STAX and are a VIP tier that would give the 100% off fees! Trading fees rebates Then those tiers will enable our users to access to trading fees rebates: VIP 4: 5% Fee Rebate VIP 5: 10% Fee Rebate VIP 6: 15% Fee Rebate VIP 7: 20% Fee Rebate VIP 8: 25% Fee Rebate We will continue working on bringing the best positive user experience for traders and liquidity providers. Even though stable pairs lowers drastically impermanent losses we want to do more to attract capitals and making StableXswap the most secure and attractive platform on the Binance Smart Chain. Let’s keep building STAX together! Website | Telegram | Announcements | Twitter | Github

The ‘Burn’ phase will soon be closed off with the remaining token distribution allocation being shifted to the ‘bond’ program (Roughly ~45M of 100M SPARTA) Please see the below article for a more in-depth look at Bond+Mint V1 through to the current V3: It is important to have deep pools to reduce the amount of slippage on larger trades, therefore the team decided to focus on 3 pools that are most desired by the community. This week the contributors pushed Version3 of Bond+Mint — A community-crafted solution aiming to complete the initial token distribution whilst also bootstrapping TVL (Total Value Locked) into the pools ready for SpartanSwaps, SpartanSynths and other future features.

SpartanSwap — DApp User Interface There was no activity in the ‘SpartanSwap’ repo this week. Focus will shift here probably following Bond+Mint & DAO activation. In the meantime, any community members with some interest and spare time feel free to load up the GitHub and get involved with either developing or adding issues/suggestions. Next Milestone / Sprint Bond+Mint V3 — new features opened up with a proper allocation to begin completing token distribution. — Now Live, more allocations to follow BurnForSparta — The remaining allocations for the BurnForSparta program will be CLOSED and moved to the new Bond+Mint program. — Imminent DAO — Enabling the DAO. With token distribution winding back up and most of the base-level features now coming to mainnet, it seems like a good time to enable the DAO. Bond+Mint V3 now has a feature for the DAO to vote to enable other tokens for the Bond program. SpartanSwap — The ‘UniSwap’ style interface making use of the ROUTER smart contract features; swap from one non-SPARTA asset to another non-SPARTA asset. SpartaSynths — Synthetic assets, lending etc. This is the big feature that most are waiting for, however we must be patient and establish a strong base with deep pools and wide token distribution before this can work in a big way. Road Map Spartan Events Community Contribution SpartanProtocol at is at its core a community driven and led project. In this vein the more contributors the better, there is a great opportunity for community members to contribute by making LP reward analysis tools etc. If you have an idea share it in the community channels. Engage with the community and developers What to find out all the latest updates or suggest improvements — get involved.

With that, we introduce the second batch of the incentivized pools: $NYA Hey, that’s us 🐱 (20x) $BUSD @binance (1x) $USDT @Tether_to (1x) $USDC @coinbase (1x) $QUSD @QIAN_Stablecoin (1x) $DAI @MakerDAO (1x) $ETH @ethereum (1x) $BTCB @Bitcoin (1x) $LTC @litecoin (1x) $BAND @BandProtocol (1x) $EOS @block_one_ (1x) $UNI @UniswapProtocol (1x) Nyanswop welcomes 4 new tokens: $USDC, $QUSD, $LTC, $UNI 🎉 The above 12 pools rewards will start on Nov 14 12PM UTC+0. As usual, you can stake now but the rewards will only start counting from Nov 14 12PM UTC+0 onwards. Do You Need to Do Anything? Yes! You’ll need to unstake from the current pools and stake again in the new pools. This is because our pool contract does not involve the usage of a ‘migrator’. The absence of a migrator concept means that the contract is SAFU. Safe from what? Us! Simply because we don’t have any rights to move any funds in the pool contracts. To note that this is not time specific. There won’t be any issues doing this at any time later. What If I Just Leave It? No issues with that. You funds are still yours, and you still continue to earn the swap fees as long as you are still holding onto the LP token of the pairs. You can still unstake any time. Where’s the Old Pools? I Can’t Find Them! It’s at the bottom of the page, at the ‘Past pools’ section. Scroll down the page nya~ 🚀 Follow us on Twitter and Telegram for the latest updates.

Xend Finance - Next generation DeFi Credit Union DeFi has challenged traditional financial institution’s status quo and successfully created its own unique space in the economic ecosystem. However, to make the vision of a decentralized future a reality, numerous technological advancements and innovative projects need to be launched. With the same spirit, a Nigerian Startup, Xend Finance, has launched an evolutionary DeFi platform for credit unions and cooperatives. It is decentralizing savings, lending, borrowing and investment operations of credit unions, and providing multi-level interest returns to members of these unions. Xend Finance is the first protocol to target this over $2.2 Trillion credit union global market. Background Traditional credit unions were created with an aim to offer financial products with low-interest rates and fees. However, their old methods of functioning are limited and outdated in nature. There is a huge gap between traditional financial services and the needs of people today. These credit unions are location and access dependent, provide low returns, have insufficient access to liquidity and give zero insurance cover on deposits. Also, centralized and Fiat savings platforms are always limited by fees and cross border payment regulations that restrict investing in other countries. That’s where Xend Finance steps in. It is a decentralized Credit Union protocol built to optimize, improve, and add value to credit union’s core operations globally. Credit unions and cooperatives worldwide can leverage this DeFi platform and channel capital into savings and earn higher interest in stable currencies. Xend Finance — A stable alternative in Africa Xend Finance is the first platform in Africa to be built on the Binance Smart Chain. Thus, opening limitless opportunities for the African crypto market. Various countries in Africa are witnessing economic and financial issues like high inflation rate, volatile currencies, capital controls, and lack of banking infrastructure. Xend finance will be a turning point in the African economy, laying the foundation of a stable and secure alternative to traditional financial institutions. Xend Finance breaks down the entry barriers with the help of blockchain technology in innumerable ways – It gives credit unions and individuals an opportunity to save their valuable earnings and earn instantly. It provides high annual percentage yields of up to 20%. It offers a trustless and stable alternative to unstable currencies across the world. It enables access to global decentralized financial services such as DeFi savings, DeFi lending and DeFi borrowing. Anyone from anywhere in the world can utilize these financial services. It gives access to decentralized insurance to ensure the protection of deposited assets. Credit unions and Individuals can now easily store their money in foreign and stable digital currencies, earn interest in the foreign stable currencies and also borrow in foreign stable currencies. XendFinance is a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) governed by $XEND token holders using three different smart parameters: Xend Token Smart Contract, Governance Smart Contract and Time Lock Smart Contract. These smart contracts will allow the XendFinance community to propose features, vote and execute approved proposals. $Xend is the native token that performs multiple operations like rewarding users, protocol fees, and governance voting on the platform. XendFinance smart contract integrates the DeFi lending Protocol smart contracts to enable seamless communication between the protocols. Currently, they have two exemplary apps — Xend and Geena. Xend app has processed over 2 million transactions and has more than 55K active users. It is a one-stop solution for business and personal transactions. Via Xend App, one can transfer money to any Xend account or bank account within Nigeria. Apart from this, one can pay bills, receive payments and make offline payments. Geena enables businesses to make fast sales from one or multiple sales points. One can monitor real-time sales data, generate and send custom receipts. The app provides a network of solutions that help you make informed business decisions and keep track of daily activities. Why Binance Chain? Binance Smart Chain is fully EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine)-compatible and has support for the majority of the tools used by Ethereum developers such as Metamask, Remix, Truffle, Ganache-CLI, and more. Binance Smart Chain already has support for infrastructures like ChainLink and Band Protocol Oracles. Also, the consensus mechanism used in Binance Smart Chain is Proof of Staked Authority (PoSA), which combines features from Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) and Proof-of-Authority (PoA). It can produce a block approximately every 3 seconds, which will significantly improve the speed of DeFi protocols built on the Binance Smart Chain. The low fees will drastically reduce the cost of using DeFi protocols and hence improve user adoption. Xend Finance will support multiple currencies across different blockchains as a result of the cross-chain asset transfer feature of the Binance Smart Chain. Their first testnet on Binance Smart Chain is currently scheduled for December. An exceptional team Xend finance’s team is made up of experienced mathematicians, finance, cryptography, and blockchain engineers. The founding team has worked with some of Africa’s largest employers, including KPMG, Chevron, and Stanbic Bank. They have received intensive mentorship from Google’s engineers and leadership team. Latest Updates Recently, Xend Finance secured a $1.5-million investment round from Binance Labs, Google Developers Launchpad, AU21 Capital, Ampifi VC, JUN Capital, TRG Capital, and Matic Co-founder, Sandeep Nailwal, Twin Apex Capital, DeltaHub Capital, and Moon Whale. According to the Xend Finance roadmap, a lot more would be happening in the next few months. Partnership announcements with Credit unions, exchange listings, more App development, and the governance model’s implementation are some of the major upcoming developments and updates on the cards. Conclusion Backed by technological advancements, blockchain has the power to transform the global economy. However, there is still a lot to explore and achieve.

Decentralization of protocol frontend Many users depend on the websites that provide a simple way to interact with the smart contracts of defi projects. In the event that the main project site is offline, having a duplicate copy of the frontend may assist user with various smart contract interactions. The main frontend of a protocol can be down due to various reasons : Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS attack) Domain name DDOS / Malicious takeover Abandoned project A clone front end will save you the headache from interacting with the smart contract directly, especially for various complex smart contract calls. Having a duplicate copy of the project does NOT help when the protocol has inherent protocol exploits, or has in-built malicious code or mechanisms. For example: Stop the developer or malicious 3rd party from draining the LPs or token. Prevents infinite mint of tokens. In these cases, direct interaction with the smart contract via etherscan.io or bscscan.com won’t help either. Most projects store a copy of the frontend in their github repository. These frontend ‘source code’ are unpacked and not readied for deployment directly. Navigating and using github is not difficult but might be too nerdy an action for most users. We will attempt to simplify the frontend cloning process through a quick and easy walk through of cloning the acryptos.com (ACS) site.

Bootstrapping Liquidity + Initial SPARTA Token Distribution Summary Bond+Mint; another novel distribution idea from the Spartan Protocol community — After continued discussions about how best to press on with SPARTA token distribution after BurnForSPARTA, the community contributors built and tried out the new Bond+Mint feature. The ‘Burn’ phase will soon be closed off with the remaining token distribution allocation being shifted to the ‘bond’ program (Roughly ~50M SPARTA) SPARTA Distribution Phase 01: BurnForSPARTA If you missed it; here is a quick recap of the unique idea used for the initial token distribution, designed to get SPARTA widely distributed into the firm hands of many Binance Chain communities ready for BSC’s big push: Bob deposits $1,000 worth of BNB into the burn DApp The BNB is ‘burnt’ (sent to a specified ‘burn’ address, which essentially removes them from the supply forever) The contract mints $1,000 worth of SPARTA and sends it to Bob In theory, this means SPARTA absorbs the value of the burnt assets, giving them a baseline value that most holders won’t sell below. There is obviously a lot of nuance there and markets will be markets; however the burn phase was successful in many ways: Wide token distribution, without resorting to techniques like ‘airdrops’ Rug-pull resistant (no team, developer, pre-mine or private sale tokens) Token price appreciation; unfortunately it fell short here. In theory, there should have been a fairly solid 30c base for the token price with the value transfer proposition, and that no one user or group was receiving any SPARTA in a zero-value ‘airdrop’ fashion. Short term wasn’t successful in price action, but time will tell with continued development! The community is showing strong support and belief despite that. The above led to many robust and poductive discussions within the community for determining other ways to continue the distribution of the initial 100M SPARTA allocation. Enter; Bond+Mint… SPARTA Distribution Phase 02: Bonding with SPARTA Bond+Mint v1 was primarily a testnet experiment with the initial idea of a way to achieve two goals: Complete the initial token distribution Begin the first push towards accelerating the TVL of Spartan Protocol V1 Scenario: Bob deposits $1,000 worth of BNB to the DApp The contract mints $1,000 worth of SPARTA at spot price (no slippage) Both assets ($2,000 worth) are added to their relevant Liquidity Pool (SPARTA:BNB Pool) LP tokens are minted representing a claim on those assets entering the pool 50% of these LP tokens are sent to Bob so he can stake them in the DAO and earn harvest rewards (or redeem to sell/swap if he so pleases) The remaining 50% are vested back to Bob linearly over a 12 month period Sounds attractive, right? Double your equity? Bonders get back their initial investment instantly, and it releases the bonus cream on top over a 12-month period. There is an obvious issue with this concept, bad actors will abuse anything with almost zero risk, and will negatively impact token price. With this just being on testnet for experimental purposes, and no obvious or simple way to make anything other than 50/50 (symmetrical mint + add to pool) without causing massive slippage and imbalance in the pools, the smart contract contributors continued working on their code and started experimenting on testnet. After testnet testing, the contributors changed some variables and gave it a small allocation for testing on mainnet. V1 Bug: During mainnet testing, only a small amount of SPARTA was emitted (1,043) from the 5,000,000 allocation because of testers noticing a bug (due to the change of some variables) that only created 75% of the expected SPARTA:BNB total assets, leaving the user with 25% fewer assets after 12 months. The Devs moved on to V2 and pegged the remaining 4,998,957 SPARTA in the contract to be recovered or burnt in a later Bond+Mint version. Bond+Mint v2 involved a few iterative changes to allow for ‘burning’ tokens in the contract in case of an upgrade or issue, and also a simple fix to the 50/50 issue. The ratio was then trialled at 25/75 (25% to Bob now and 75% over 12 months), quietly (on mainnet) with a tiny SPARTA allocation. The testing went well! During this period, the wider community caught on and piled in to wipe out the 5M SPARTA allocation pretty quickly — we are talking a little under 12 hours, with over 9,000 BNB committed into the liquidity pool! Time and effect was put into analysing bonder habits and community feedback, to ensure V3 Bond+Mint addressed some below concerns with the next small test allocation. Market-sell dump — the 25/75 ratio still wasn’t quite low enough to steer bonders away from either selling or swapping their existing SPARTA to get more BNB for Bonding, or from releasing their existing 25% return allocation, selling/swapping the SPARTA portion again, and re-bonding the remaining BNB. V3 will be 0/100 (0% to Bob now, 100% over 12 months) Pool price manipulation remained possible, based on the existing TVL of the BNB:SPARTA Pool (to game the ‘spot price’ used to calculate how many SPARTA minted by your ‘bond’) Whale concentration making use of a flat spot price to avoid slippage To combat the points above, V3 uses ‘purchasing power’ rather than spot price to calculate the SPARTA minted. This can be emulated by visiting the ‘swap’ page of the DApp and pretending to do a swap of the amount you want to bond. Underneath your input you will see a ‘rate’, click the ‘+’ icon next to that to see the ‘rate slip’ underneath. The percentage shown here represents how much it would emit less SPARTA for you in V3 vs V2. For most normal peers, this has little to no affect on the end result. For anyone who was trying to manipulate the spot price to get a better ‘bond’ rate, they will now pay slippage fees twice when attempting this kind of manipulation (large slippage = large fees which are paid into the liquidity pools to reward liquidity providers), this will in theory also drive in more peers with smaller ‘bonds’ (more decentralisation / better distribution) Bond+Mint V3: Three tokens have now been enabled on mainnet for more community testing with a small 2.5M SPARTA allocation and feedback. Remember, whilst this is mainnet it is still experimental and comes with its risks as always. Proceed with caution! BNB, BUSD, USDT all enabled for a small 2.5M SPARTA test allocation V3 scenario: Bob sends $1,000 through the bond contract $1,000 worth of SPARTA is minted (at swap price) price) ~$2,000 worth of assets get locked into the SPARTA:BNB pool 0% goes to Bob straight away 100% is vested to Bob over 12 months (can claim as often as he likes; it is calculated every second just like the harvest feature) V1 Allocation Contract Recovery: V3 implements the lessons learnt throughout testing and feedback during the previous campaigns and seeks to do the same again, starting with an allocation of 2.5 million SPARTA. Remember that 4,998,957 SPARTA locked in the V1 contract? The team has written a contract to allocate it to the V3 testing campaign to allow a larger testing base with the increase maturity of the program. Remember, whilst this is mainnet it is still experimental and comes with its risks as always. Proceed with caution!

We’ve been working on a new project called ACryptoS Vaults, which is essentially a Yearn clone on Binance Smart Chain combined with SushiSwap farming mechanics. The project is less than 2 weeks old, and we have been testing and improving it within our small telegram group. We now feel it’s ready to be shared a bit more widely. Automating yield farming We’ve currently got 7 Vaults farming on PancakeSwap where you can deposit CAKE or Cake LP tokens, and the Vault will farm and compound CAKE for you, automatically swapping the farmed CAKE for Cake LP tokens when necessary. Concurrently farming ACS Depositing in the Vaults will also allow you to stake the Vault LP tokens in our Farms and farm our native token ACS. That means liquidity providers can earn both the yield from PancakeSwap, which is compounded in the Vault, and the ACS yield from our Farms. Sharing a stake in the protocol By distributing ACS via our farms, we share a stake in the protocol with our liquidity providers. ACS can be staked in our ACS Vault to earn a share of rewards and fees. Sustainable tokenomics Our tokenomics and fees are designed to encourage long term provision of liquidity and staking of ACS. ~23.254% of daily ACS emissions and almost all fees are used to buy back ACS and/or are distributed directly to ACS stakers in the ACS Vault. The fee structure does mean that short term stakers will most likely have a 0 or even slightly negative return, so do review our docs carefully before depositing, and there are links in the app showing the relevant fees as well. Risk warning We’re a brand new project and ACS is volatile and extremely inflationary at this stage. Do carefully review the Security & Risks section of our docs as well as DYOR before proceeding. Ready to give us a try? https://app.acryptos.com/

Nyacademy: Unrugged // How Yield Farming Contract Works And… The Case of the ‘Missing’ Tokens (💧x🐱) This episode, we are going to take a look at the popular yield farming contract UniswapRewardsFactory and the SmartChef (somewhat ‘MasterChef’) contract. If you follow us close enough, you will realize that we had a recent collaboration with Bliquid ($BLIQ) on a Nyanchpool which got delayed by a day. We’ve never had such issues before, so something interesting must have happened. We thought that we could go through the yield farming contracts and also add in a twist of the recent BLIQ token encounters. So we’re going to share our experience on hosting a field farm with self-burning mechanism (like BLIQ) using UniswapRewardsFactory contract. This probably won’t affect you if you’re not using the UniswapRewardsFactory. What is UniswapRewardsFactory UniswapRewardsFactory is a reward distribution contract (yield farming) pioneered by Uniswap. It is a super strict contract that absolutely makes sure that the predefined expected rewards are exactly the same as the actual rewards. If you follow how we do our collaboration transactions. We don’t ask our partners to send their tokens to our Deployer. The reason is that Deployers are usually EOA (just a wallet account) so anyone (like the host, aka us) with the keys can simply steal the huge amount of tokens sent by the partners. Here’s a look at PancakeSwap’s Deployer. Could you imagine how much trust is needed for someone to send that many tokens to an EOA account? Of course, PancakeSwap is very trustworthy, but we can’t speak the same for others (like us 🐱). So we’re preventing you.. from us. We usually ask our partners to send the tokens directly to the RewardsFactory contract. This way, we can’t steal the tokens. So.. Why was the BLIQ Nyanchpool delayed? It’s solely mathematical. The interesting thing about BLIQ token is that it has a self-burning mechanism whenever someone triggers a transfer of the token. In short, 6% would be taken out of the sent amount, leaving 94% at the destination. Is that a big deal? Apparently for us, huge deal. If you’re hosting a normal ERC20 token, there won’t be such issues at all. How Does the UniswapRewardsFactory Work? Two contracts are in the picture. The UniswapRewardsFactory (referred to as Factory) and the UniswapRewards (referred to as Reward). We are distributing 21 BLIQ over 7 days on our Nyanchpool. Bliquid sends 21 BLIQ to Factory Nyanswop triggers ‘notifyRewards’ function on Factory Factory sends 21 BLIQ to Reward Reward calculates predefined expected rewardRate against actual rewardRate, and make sure the expected rewardRate is ≤ actual rewardRate (to ensure that it has sufficient BLIQ to pay out to stakers) If all passes, the pool will start. There is no interaction with the Reward contract. We only interact with the Factory contract. RewardRate is defined as BLIQ balance / 604800 (7 days in seconds). So expected RewardRate is fixed at 21 / 604800, which is 0.000034722. And actual RewardRate depends on the BLIQ balance of the Rewards contract divded by 604800, which cannot be calculated now. Ideally it should be exactly the same. And you thought so.. *note that the real representation of 21 is 21*10¹⁸ (18 zeros), we’re shortening it to just 21 for readability Introducing RewardsFactory (and Self-Burning Token) Step 1 — Receive 21 BLIQ in Factory Contract 😸 It starts with Bliquid sending the agreed 21 BLIQ to the Factory contract. Cheers. We’re set. Let’s call the deployment function~ Step 2 — Trigger notifyRewards function in Factory Contract 🐱 Our first deployment attempt was hit with an error. The error simply means that a transfer has failed. We failed at ‘Step 1’. Though we’re pretty sure we saw BscScan showing that the Factory contract has 21 BLIQ.. but is it really 21 BLIQ? ‘Thanks’ BscScan, you lied. That was the moment we recalled that BLIQ has a self-burning mechanism. The awesome team at Bliquid reacted instantly and sent over a small bit of tokens to make it 21. So we try again, we trigger ‘Step 2’ again. Step 3 — Reward to Receive 21 BLIQ from Factory Contract 😾 This error is new. It is something we haven’t encountered before even after hosting 4 projects on Nyanchpool. So we went to find which code threw this error. Step 4 — Pass Expected vs Actual rewardRate Integrity Check 🙀 We made it through ‘Step 3’ but failed at ‘Step 4’. At ‘Step 3’, Factory sends the BLIQ to Reward so by right it shouldn’t fail. Here we recall that the expected rewardRate is fixed which is 0.000034722 (21 / 604800), so the only variable is the actual balance rewardRate (line 588). So something clicked. Since the transferred BLIQ will lose 6% when it reaches the Reward contract, we’ll need our Factory to have at least 22.3404255319 BLIQ (21 / 0.94), so that we will end up with at least 21 BLIQ at Reward after the transfer from Factory. So.. we got Bliquid (thanks again) to send us a bit more BLIQ. Now, we have slighly more than 22.3404255319 BLIQ in our Factory contract so that should finally work. But we seem to hit the same issue again. Seems like we somehow still don’t have 21 BLIQ to pass ‘Step 4’. The real cause might not be as what we thought. We could, logically speaking, send more BLIQ to Factory contract, or dig out the real cause. We chose to believe in our previous judgements, and dig into the possibilities. And we found something that we overlooked: In the Factory contract, it will always and only send the predefined rewardAmount which is 21. Sending more than 21 BLIQ doesn’t help as the contract will only send 21 BLIQ. So that means we’re always going to get 19.74 BLIQ (94% of 21) in the Reward contract no matter what. So does that means that the 21 BLIQ is permanently ‘stuck’ in the Factory contract and that we’re never ever able to host projects with self-burning mechanism? require(rewardRate <= balance.div(rewardsDuration), "Provided reward too high"); After spending some time trying to balance this equation.. Yes, by the looks of it, it’s pretty much not possible unless we make modifications to the contract in the future. Looks like the 21 BLIQ is stuck. So we disappointedly posted to stop the BLIQ Nyanchpool. *inserts sad cat* 😿 After spending the whole night looking for possibilities to transfer out the 21 BLIQ. We found a workaround to make the BLIQ Nyanchpool happen. After ‘Step 3’ (sending 21 BLIQ from Factory to Reward contract), the actual rewardRate’s balance is calculated by rewardsToken.balanceOf(address(this)) , which means the ‘current’ BLIQ in the Reward contract, which is ‘currently’ 19.74 BLIQ. So.. what if we send an extra 1.26 BLIQ to our Rewards contract, will we hit 21 BLIQ at this line? Yes nya~ it worked. From the ‘Tokens Tranferred’, you can see that only 19.74 BLIQ got sent to our Reward contract (as expected, 94%), and the rest was ‘burn’ away. Based on BLIQ’s token behavior, 1% will be burned, 5% will be sent back to the BLIQ contract for some processing. And… we’re back~ That’s how the UniswapRewardsFactory works for rewards distribution. Hopefully that gives you the basic know-how on how it actually works. Having such knowledge is very beneficial especially when you’re checking on a newly designed contract. Are Other Farming Contracts Able to Support Self-Burning Tokens As-is? For yield farming contracts, we should always look at how the contract determines the start and end of the farming period. Let’s take a quick look at PancakeSwap’s SmartChef contract. What’s Initialized When the Contract is Deployed? For starters, we should always look at the constructor first. The contract seems pretty standard for yield farming contract. Mainly, it initalizes the start and end of the farming period. For SmartChef, the fixed rewardPerBlock is also initialized here. Similarly, UniswapRewards contract constructor initializes the same thing. The difference is there UniswapRewards is created by triggering a function in the UniswapRewardsFactory. How Does It Determines Start and End of Distribution? For UniswapRewards contract, there is check (mentioned in the BLIQ scenario): require(rewardRate <= balance.div(rewardsDuration), "Provided reward too high"); It is done upon the triggering of the start of the rewards distribution (notifyRewards). So we can look at how SmartChef determines that a reward distribution has started. One unique aspect of the ‘MasterChef’ style contract is the function to calculate the rewards for the users, usually named as the updatePool function. Line 803 determines if a reward distribution has started. If the current time is before the predefined starting block, this function will exit immediately. Line 812 calculates the CAKE reward for for user based on the percentage ownership of the pool multiplied by a predefined rewardPerBlock rate. So how does the SmartChef contract determines the end of a reward distribution phase? For this, we can follow the bonusEndBlock variable initialized in the constructor. That will lead to just one part of the contract, the getMultiplier function: If you prefer to the previous image, you can see that the _from is the startBlock and _to is the current block number. _from will keep on getting updated with the current block number (check previous image, Line 814). There are two places in the code that uses this function, and both made checks to ensure that block.number is always > than pool.lastRewardBlock . Of course, these values will change over time, but we’re just looking at this point for starting and ending point of view. We’re looking for how it determines ending, so 0 seems to be decent candidate. So the code will hit at Line 780 when the lastRewardBlock eventually becomes ≥ than the bonusEndBlock , as it will keep updating to become the value of current number. So, in a way, the SmartChef contract doesn’t end, it just reduces the rewards to 0. Caveats There’s no strict check on whether the SmartChef is able to distribute the predefined rewards when the rewards distribution starts. You have to really trust the owner to do the right thing. The UniswapRewards contract, however, checks that before allowing the reward distribution to commerce. That also means that SmartChef, technically speaking, could start the rewards distribution even without having 100% of the pre-stated reward token amount. Consider this following: SmartChef is to distribute 1000 NYA tokens over 100 blocks. SmartChef is initialized with: startBlock = 500, endBlock = 600, rewardsPerBlock = 10 So 10 NYA would be distributed every block from 500 to 600. But it doesn’t guarantee that it is able to distribute all of it at any point of time (especially during the start). The owner might deposit only 800 NYA at start, then add another 200 NYA along the way (between block 500 and 600). That is indeed flexible. Unlike the UniswapRewards contract, which is very strict on these. Though it prevents mistakes and middle-man from rug-pulling. It’s strictness defined it’s safetyness and also it’s rigidness (on the good side). Most people simply avoid using this contract for yield farming because of it’s strictness and complication, but we at Nyanswop totally love it. Both has their good and bad points. It really depends on what you’re looking for. Take Away? If you’re sending with ‘self-burning’ tokens, make sure to calculate the starting amount correctly by taking into account of the end state. For you to send 21 BLIQ, with 6% burn rate, you have to send 21/0.94 BLIQ. If you’re dealing with tokens with ‘overriden’ methods (especially if it belongs to the official ERC20 interfaces), do check if the end state is what you expected. For our case, BLIQ token has a burning mechanism for the ‘transfer’ method and we didn’t expect to not receive 21 BLIQ. If you’re using contracts that are very strict on the data integrity, do take extra note when dealing with tokens with unique personalities. If a transaction fails, there’s no need to repeatedly send the same thing because it is bound to fail. Do something different, or reach out to the support team of the Dapp that you’re using (including us nya~ 🐱) We like Uniswap’s RewardsFactory’s strictness as it maintains the integrity of the data. So we’ll not modify our contract to fit special tokens, at least for now. Moving On After this interesting issue. We now require all partners to do a trial-run with us in the Testnet if your token has certain methods overridden (especially transfer method).

Creative Ways to Cut Wedding Costs The overall cost of weddings is spiraling out of control. According to CostofWedding.com, the average cost is close to twenty-seven thousand dollars. That is the cost of a vehicle or a down payment on a house! There are ways to cut costs without having the affair look or feel cheap. Off Peak Dates The most popular wedding dates are between late April and early September. Venue pricing for those months is at the highest it will be all year. It is also difficult to find a date that is not booked up in some places. Consider getting married in March or October. The costs will be lower and booking will be easier. Saving Money on Flowers There are a few ways to save money on wedding flowers and still have beautiful bouquets. One way is to make the boutonnieres yourself. They are easy and inexpensive to make and no one really pays close attention to them anyway. They are a nice detail, but do not have to be perfect or professionally done. Depending on how many ushers are in the wedding party, that savings can add up to quite a significant amount. Using seasonal flowers will also save money without cutting corners. Florists that specialize in floral arrangements and bouquets for weddings, such as Marigold Flower Co, prefer to use seasonal flowers because they are fresh, fragrant, and vibrant. Professionals will be able to recommend which flowers will be in season for the wedding date. Seasonal Wedding flowers Tampa FL will look much different in March than they will in August. Keep the Guest List Relevant So many couples get caught up in inviting long lost family members at the request of their parents. That makes very little sense. Why pay for meals to feed the family of a second cousin you have not seen in twenty years? Plan the guest list based on who you as a couple want to see at the wedding. No one has to approve the list but the bride and groom. If the couple simply want close family and a few friends there, costs will not be tens of thousands of dollars. Listen to input, be polite, but be selfish when it comes to planning the actual wedding day. Do not start married life in debt to please all the relatives. If parents want to pay for the wedding, then consider their requests. If expenses are coming out of the pocket of the bride and groom, invite only those people who are special.

Here’s How You Can Choose the Perfect Wedding Bouquet Time to bring your floral invitation to life, step up in your wedding planning and choose the impeccable wedding bouquet. On your special day, you’re the center of attraction. But there’s something that is more attractive than the couple themselves. These little connoisseurs of enchanting fragrance enthrall the guests to the core. So it is imperative to make the right choice and pick the best floral bouquet even it is not a spring wedding! At 123WeddingCards, we present you the go-to guide for your selection process. 1. Selecting the color: The main factor that connects the accessories with the aura is the color of the decor. To make sure that you pick the perfect color, we bring to you some guiding steps: a. Select the color that falls in your wedding color scheme If your wedding decor is in tones of lilac and white, it’ll pair up elegantly with petite bouquets of purple Hydrangea — a bloom flower with purple leaves wherein, the purple fades into a scintillating shade of white twinning with your decor and forming a beautiful centerpiece. They are royal embellishments on arches and pillars. You can even opt for replicas of flowers printed in your floral invitations. b. Contrast works magic too. Wedding decor of a darker shade teams up with lighter accessories or vice versa and adds an attractive element to the wedding venue. A bright ‘red’ or ravishing ‘green’ decoration calls for a lighter shade of wedding flower bouquet. Long bouquets of yellow Gladiolus make up for a centerpiece that is soothing and graceful. c. Pair it with the bridal bouquet. For this, be sure that the color of the bridal bouquets and wedding bouquets is not the same. They should follow the same color family of reds, blues, greens or pinks but be distinctive.The star-like blue Agapanthus bouquets for the bridesmaid’s bouquets and oversized blue silk bouquets pair for the decor is pleasing to the eye and distinguishable! 2. Show your style through your flowers: Are you a trend-setter? Or are you someone who prefers lighter tones over blasting colors? Your wedding flower bouquets speak for your style, like floral wedding invitation. If you’re the bold one who kicks off things that hasn’t been done before, exotic flowers are the ideal match. Calla lily and Anthurium are worth giving a try. Strelitzia is an unknown beauty too. It’s an orange color blossom with thin long pointed leaves that vibe magically with an electric blue decor. If you prefer to go with the flow, our pick for you will be roses. They never grow old like rose floral invitations and coordinate with every decor style. With their refreshing fragrance enriching our nostrils long after they’re gone and a multitude of colors they’re available in, make them the best flowers! Carnations, White Lilies, Gardenias, Peonies and orchids grab a place in the list too! 3. Lighter than air, smaller than face. Once you’ve picked the colors and finalized the style, it’s time to select the weight and size of the bouquet. Bridesmaids’ bouquets should be lighter because they’ll hold them for a longer time. So, the ideal pick would be small, thin and long flowers. The long stems will be easier to hold. Buttercup bouquets with a single bloom will be perfect — they’ll be lighter because of only one bulb and look beautiful too! One bulb of Dahlia will make up for a bold pop against the otherwise soothing white gown. The wedding bouquets should be smaller so that they don’t hide the bridesmaids’ pretty faces or block the view of the guests if they’re used as centerpieces. Thus, lightweight bouquets win our hearts here as well. 4. Something about the wedding trends: Wedding trends dictate a major chunk of our romantic thinking. So let’s have a look at what’s trending apart from floral invitations! a. Ditching the ordinary: No more roses. Brides world over are experimenting with a trend-setting floral arrangement. Freesia or Lily of the Valley is becoming the new favorites. b. One flower army. Instead of opting for a bunch of flowers, brides are perfectly okay with only one floral bouquet. So, all the larger flowers out there, you’re on the list now! c. Bold is the new color. No more reds and whites. Brides world around are vouching for a color that is as fiery as their eyes. After the floral invitation, it’s wedding bouquets’ turn to be bolder. Richer shades and monochromes are all lighting the stage on fire! d. Back to tradition. When the world is talking about moving ahead, brides all over the world are stepping back to traditions. Greener, richer bouquets are in fashion once again! Visit our collection of all wedding invitations and choose your best floral pick now!

From the moment you enter Asia’s impeccably manicured drive you sense that you’re in for a journey of unparalleled style. The pagoda-like high rise greets you with the gentle sound of water flowing in the background. Infused with distinctly modern lines and highlighted with Floridian aqua trim achieved with patina copper, Asia on Brickell Key combines old-world grace with state-of-the-art amenities. Asia’s interior décor balances sophistication with natural elements. Accordingly, Amazing Flowers Miami incorporates tropical florals with contemporary presentations to attain an understated and organic addition to the lobby. A Brief History of Brickell Key The modest beginnings of Brickell Key certainly gave no indication that this little island east of downtown Miami would develop into the highly sought-after neighborhood it is today. In fact, the key’s origins begin in 1896. The industrialist and Miami developer, Henry Flagler, wanted to deepen the water at the mouth of the Miami River. Flagler envisioned the deep-water Port of Miami, but it required placing the limestone and river silt elsewhere. Enter the two manmade islands now known as Brickell Key. By 1943, Edward Claughton purchased the islands and combined them into one 44-acre piece of property. Brickell Key/Claughton Island remained accessible only by boat until the bridge at Brickell Key Drive connected it with the mainland. Development of the island began in earnest in 1979. Today, you’ll enjoy residential condos, such as the Asia, office buildings, and the island’s sole hotel, the Mandarin Oriental. Additionally, Brickell Key features scenic walking paths, shopping, restaurants, and a market place. Sculptor, Manuel Carbonell, provides some of the island’s contemplative treasures, such as the bronze Mother and Child. Asia Brickell Key If you’re looking for luxury living, look no further than Asia Brickell Key. Designed by J. Scott Architecture and constructed by Swire Development, the three-year building process was completed in 2008. The Asia consists of 33 stories and a total of 123 units. While some units bring the beauty of the bay to your balcony, all homes feature balconied views of the many Miami sights. Spectacular views include downtown Miami, Brickell, the Miami River, and the surrounding Biscayne Bay area. You may also opt to marvel at all this magical setting has to offer from Asia Brickell Key’s grand terrace. Visit with neighbors or enjoy the solitude as you take in the spectacular waterfront vistas. The boutique atmosphere and limited occupancy create a consummate sense of community. The opportunity is there for you to experience if you so desire. Conveniently located within walking distance to any spot on the island, you can take advantage of the fresh air and exercise on your way to the hotel spa, grabbing a cup of morning coffee at the market, or dining in the evening. Another benefit of Asia Brickell Key’s locale is that you can take advantage of the shuttle bus service on days when you’d like to get over to Brickell but don’t feel like fighting traffic. Simply catch a lift at the island’s entrance gate on SE 8th St., and take a ride along Brickell Avenue, S.W. 8th, Coral Way, and along South Miami Ave. to Mercy Hospital. Asia Brickell Key Building Amenities The residents of the luxury waterfront Asia enjoy 24-hour concierge service, valet parking, and private elevator access. Contact management at any time with touch screen lifestyle management technology. Take advantage of your own private storage area when you find you have a little more than you want to keep in your condo. Additionally, each resident is provided with two covered parking spaces. Feel secure with the 24-hour attended guard gate and biometric security. The condo’s association dues include water, sewer, trash removal, pest control, window cleaning, and building insurance. Owners may also enjoy the companionship of their small pets. Stay active with the use of the pool, a jacuzzi, tennis courts, and a private fully-staffed fitness center that features best-in-class machines. Asia Brickell Key Home Amenities Once inside your home, the expanse of the view is heightened by the interior’s 12-foot ceilings. Contact management at any time with touch screen lifestyle management technology — available in every unit. Asia Brickell Key’s design creates a boutique-style of atmosphere. Instead of overcrowding the floor with multiple units, the designers opted for space and flow. The ninth through the 13th floors, for instance, features a mere three units per floor. Between the 15th and 29th floors, residents enjoy a roomy five units per floor. No detail was overlooked when creating the elegant living spaces at Asia Brickell Key. Each condo features marble floors, high-end appliances and fixtures as well as exceptional use of space with generous walk-in closets. The chef-friendly kitchens feature Miele cooktops and ovens, sub-zero refrigerators, Franke double sinks, wine coolers, Italian designer cabinets, and granite countertops. Each has been outfitted with sycamore or wenge cabinet finishes and topped with one of three granite color choices, including emerald pearl, Kashmir white, or imperial black. On days when you could really do with a cappuccino but don’t feel like going out, simply make your own right in the comfort of home. The larger units offer this unique complementary feature. We’ll Help Your Business Grow Please call (305) 787–0700 or send us an email if you have any questions about our corporate flower services. It would be our pleasure to assist you with your floral arrangements for your company; we take great care in creating the perfect statement to match your specific business.

8 Different Wedding Flowers in Morwell and What They Symbolize Once upon a time flowers were used as a symbol of language. It was during the Victorian era. People during that age often used to send different flowers to give messages. They were able to express their feelings and emotions very successfully through these flowers. In fact, each one of them had a meaning and symbolized something. Even now it is the same and you can find a lot of traditional customs particularly the weddings in Morwell still using this gift of nature. Discussed below are the varieties of wedding flowers in Morwell along with their meanings. Have a look at them. Lily of the Valley : You might surely be very happy on your wedding day. Isn’t it? These blossoms represent happiness and so none other than this variety is appropriate for the occasion. You can use it in your bouquets if you are having a summer or spring wedding. They are in fact regarded as traditional wedding flowers. Acacia : These are yellow colored blossoms and have many meanings. They are usually used in a wedding to symbolize purity of relationship and soul. They have a great value and also symbolize friendship. Aster : They are gift of nature that is enchanted and charmed. They represent patience and love and are found in different colors. Hydrangea : If both of you share a deep understanding and think that you are truly made for one another, then this is the bloom for you because understanding is what the variety symbolize. Anemone : It is a beautiful flower and is generally used in floral arrangements and bouquets. It can be used for both spring and fall weddings. It symbolizes expectation. So, if it’s someone’s D-day this spring and you are invited there, you can select from double or single blossoms. Camellia : It is a lovely, elegant bloom, which symbolizes passion, desire and deep love for the better half in life. All these qualities make it one of the best wedding flowers. Sunflower : It may have different meanings but that depends upon the stem’s length. A short stemmed sunflower signified adoration while a long one has a negative connotation. Amaranth : These bright and beautiful flowers symbolize love which will never die and an immortal life. There is no better bloom than this one for a wedding ceremony. You can ask your local florist to use them as fillers for your floral arrangements and bouquet. If you want, you can also them as centerpieces.

We give flowers when a child is born. We give flowers when we fall in love. We display flowers when a person dies. Why, you may wonder, has one part of a plant been so integral to non-verbal human communication over thousands of years? All the photos below are from the wonderful community kitchen project Refettorio Felix at St Cuthbert’s. They include a beautiful array of foraged, edible flowers to go with a brief (human-centric) history of flowers… Photo Credit: Simon Owen/Wanderhatch The studied and meticulous use of flowers in human interaction began in the 19th-century. The Victorian age brings up ideas of conservatism and stoic grandparent-types not smiling in photographs; a time when talking about your feelings was tantamount to walking around with a cat on a leash. It was an uncommon, vaguely disagreeable sight. However, this was also the era that brought about ‘floriography’; the language of flowers. In Hamlet, the character of Ophelia gives an entire monologue when she hands out flowers to the other characters; though they think she has gone crazy. The flowers convey individual messages and in order to know what Ophelia is saying you must consult the dictionary of flowers. Firstly, she gives her brother Laertes both Rosemary and Pansies; explaining their role in remembrance. She gives Fennel and Columbine to King Claudius; Fennel translating as flattery and Columbine as the flower for male adultery. She then gives Rue, the symbol for bitterness and regret, to Queen Gertrude and keeps some for herself. She then picks up and sets down Daisy, not handing it to anyone; the Daisy denoting innocence. Finally, she says she would have brought Violets but they had all withered after her father died; Violets being the symbol of faithfulness and fidelity. She is making a scathing comment on moral decline in the Danish court and doing so with only her choice of flowers. Photo Credit: Simon Owen/Wanderhatch Going back even further the symbolism of flowers is apparent in their role in ornamental attire. ‘Tussie-mussies’ was the name for small bouquets worn by a broach, or with a ‘posy holder’ often made of silver. The old English term ‘nose-gay’ was used in the 15th-century to mean an ornament that appeals to the nose. Of course, this upper-class endeavour soon became an obsession for many who were in the game of ‘capturing’ scents. Napoleon’s lover Josephine wore violet-scented perfume as her trademark; violet perfume being particularly expensive and difficult to attain. This is because violet contains ionone which short-circuits our sense of smell, so whilst it continues to exude its fragrance we lose our ability to smell it. One second it is there and the next, gone. Years after her death, when Napoleon was set to be exiled to St Helena, he made a pilgrimage to her gravesite where he had planted violets and picked some. He entombed them in a locket he would wear until his death. Photo Credit: Simon Owen/Wanderhatch What does all this floral fancy have to do with food you may ask. In many ways flowers have for all of history been a commodity, something to be cut out, stuck in, something to gawk at. When Andy Warhol was asked about his painting ‘Warhol’s Flowers’ (1964); a pop-art treatment of a hibiscus plant; he said that the intention of ‘letting images repeat and repeat… manifests my belief that we spend much of our lives seeing without observing’. The truth is that flowers have always been telling us something. They are the outstretched hand of plants; the picture you see in identification books, the transient gift of nature; they turn our heads and they make us feel loved. And they can be our reintroduction to re-wilding our diet as well. Sakyamuni Buddha is said to have held a teaching once with many respected disciples. He sat at the front and silently held up a flower. There was some confusion and then one of his disciples, Mahakasyapa smiles and the Buddha concluded his teaching. The flower Buddha held up was that of the Lotus plant, which symbolises estranged love. So the next time you sit down for a meal and see a pretty flower on your plate, off to the side or perched decoratively on top of a salad, remember; it’s trying to tell you something.

The Differences Between Grocery Store Flowers and Ordering from a Flower Shop When in a time crunch, many people find themselves buying grocery store flowers. Although convenient, cheap and typically pretty, these flowers may not give you the most bang for your buck. In fact, you’ll probably find a better deal and even more convenience at a flower shop. Not to mention, quality and custom arrangements. However, there are even more differences between “store-bought” and flowers from a florist. Below are three of these differences. Differences in Cost and Quality Grocery store flowers are popular simply because they’re cost-effective and easily accessible. Flowers and floral arrangements from local florists are typically more expensive. However, the local florist will have better quality flowers. The greater quality surely justifies the higher price. Besides, the flowers that you purchase will be professionally grown and maintained, which makes them even better. Grocery store flowers usually all have the same low quality. Keep in mind, however; that florists have cost-effective options that are still high quality, such as seasonal flowers. Different Types of Customer Service Most grocery store employees aren’t knowledgeable about flower types. So, most likely they won’t be able to make good recommendations or advise customers on the best flowers for specific occasions or personalities. Buying flowers from the grocery store is usually a solo adventure where you choose flowers that are the most appealing to you, pay for them and leave. On the other hand, florists are floral experts, meaning they’re incredibly knowledgeable about flowers and floral arrangements. In a flower shop, you’ll most likely get help directly from the florist as well as recommendations for flowers that match your occasion or the personality of the person you’re shopping for. This means buying flowers that are fresh, in season and perfect for your recipient and/or event. Levels of Freshness It’s nearly impossible to find fresh flowers in the grocery store. In general, supermarket flowers lose their freshness quickly or remain for sale for weeks. This means that if your timing isn’t right, then you most likely won’t find fresh flowers. Fresh flowers are also placed next to vegetables and fruits that produce ethylene, which makes flowers wilt faster. On the other hand, a florist in Edmonton will have fresh flowers. Besides that, you can rest assured that all the flowers on display are properly cared for and processed. Florists also use professional-grade plant food to treat your freshly cut flowers. They’ll also keep flowers at the proper temperature so that they stay fresher longer. Not to mention they’ll have a greater selection of flowers and floral arrangements. However, if you’re unsure of where to find a suitable local florist, just check out Canada Floral Delivery. From their website, you can order flowers or be connected to any of the flowers stores in Edmonton.

How To Grow Giant Sunflower Stalks — Kenya Markets Trust Avoid the traditional variety of seeds and get yourself Hybrid seeds which are developed to be uniform and consistently reliable. While older varieties often become top-heavy and fall over in wet or windy weather, Hybrids have been selected for a strong, thick stalk to support its heavy head. In ideal growing conditions, it reaches heights of 16 feet or more and produces huge seedheads. 2. Soil Preparation Sunflowers need full sun; see 6–8 hours of direct sunlight per day — the more the better if you are trying to grow them to their maximum potential. so get a shamba where there is direct Sunlight and sheltered form wind. Sunflowers thrive in warm to hot climates with full sunshine during the day. Dry seasons are perfect for growing sunflowers. Check Soil PH: Sunflowers prefer a slightly acidic to somewhat alkaline soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5. even though they are relatively resilient and can grow in most types of soil. Choose a well-drained location, begin planting after the soil has completely warmed and the dry season has set in. Prepare your soil by digging an area of about 2–3 feet in circumference to a depth of about 2 feet. Sunflowers are heavy feeders and deplete the soil more than many other crops — especially if you are growing them to reach a massive height so the nutrient supply must be replenished each season. 3. Sowing and Thinning The ideal spacing in rows for giant sunflowers with large seed heads is 20 in. apart. If you plant closer, you might get taller stalks but smaller heads. If you plant farther apart, the seed head may be larger, but possibly too heavy for the stalk to bear. To sow seeds, water your soil, and press seeds 1 inch deep in clumps of 5–6 seeds about 6–8 in. apart. If possible, cover loosely with netting to protect emerging seedlings from birds. If the soil is kept moist, seedlings will appear within 5–10 days. When the plants grow to 3 inches, thin them to the most vigorous 3 or 4. When they are a foot tall, thin them to 2, and when they reach 2 feet high, select the best, most vigorous candidate. The point of this gradual thinning method is to ensure that you’re left with at least one good seedling in the event that predators damage any of the others. Remember, it’s critical to thin back to the best single seedling if you’re going for giant sunflowers. Leaving even several seedlings growing too close together will keep you from growing a giant in your garden. 4. Feeding and Care of Your Growing Giant Feed often and water regularly. While the plant is small, water around the root zone, about 3–4 in. from the plant with about 2 gallons of properly diluted liquid fertilizer solution per week. For larger plants, scrape out a small doughnut-shaped moat about 18 inches around the plant and about four inches deep. Pour several gallons of properly diluted fertilizer into the moat every week. Sunflower roots can grow to 4 feet below the soil surface. *tip: Avoid pouring fertilizer directly on the stems, since this can cause them to rot. Be attentive to weather reports, especially, as your plants become taller and more top-heavy. When heavy winds are predicted, delay watering to reduce their chances of blowing over. Staking isn’t usually necessary for sunflowers, but it can be helpful in extremely windy areas or if they must be grown in conditions that are too crowded or in too much shade. Other Tips: It is better to plant fewer sunflowers if you don’t have much room because the more they are forced to compete for nutrients, the less strong each individual plant will be. Remember that sunflowers will grow very tall and can shade out other plants if you are not careful. Sunflowers always point to the direction that the sun rises, so consider this when planting. Soil types are not too much of a problem for sunflowers. Well-drained soil with lots of peat, compost, or manure will help them to grow tall and strong Keep the area around the sunflowers weed free, and do not use chemicals or sow grass seeds near them.

A sea of roses, great Indian food and a dedicated team all set to improve working conditions in the flower industry. That pretty much sums up our experience at the Kenyan Floriculture Trade Fair (IFTEX), which took place from June 5 to 7 in the Oshwal Center in Nairobi. Every year, flower growers, buyers and other stakeholders from all across East Africa, and abroad, gather to do business. Now, after weeks of preparation and many Skype calls, I, too, was going to be there! I met up with Andrea and Floor of the Dutch social enterprise Impact Institute at Schiphol Airport to fly to Nairobi and join our Women@Work Campaign colleagues from Hivos East Africa and the Kenyan NGO Ufadhili Trust. Our mission? To promote the CSR Africa portal amongst the nearly 200 exhibitors at the fair. CSR Africa Hivos, Ufadhili Trust and the Impact Institute launched CSR Africa (download brochure) in 2018 as a portal where horticultural businesses can learn about, measure and improve their corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance. This year, we introduced the “quick scan”. Now, just by filling in an online form, companies can get an initial diagnosis of their social performance and identify priority areas concerning gender, health and safety, freedom of association, wages and water usage. Innovative about the portal is that it monetizes social impact. I asked Andrea Rusman from the Impact Institute to explain why. “Quantifying social impact helps you see the extent of the problem and start monitoring improvement,” she said. “By quantifying and putting a value on social impact, CSR Africa shows growers exactly which social issues are most urgent and need to be addressed first.” Ufadhili Trust, a Kenyan NGO that has been working on social responsibility since 2002, approaches flower farms directly. “We promote the use of the portal throughout East Africa and we conduct the full version of the scans,” says the Executive Director Steven Irungu. A full impact scan is done by visiting a farm and collecting data from surveys completed by workers and management. Based on this information, the farm will receive a report with the main areas of concern and recommendations for improvement. Ufadhili Trust and Hivos can help them bridge these gaps through, for example, capacity building or linking their farm to qualified experts. Capacity building at the flower farm I saw an example of this capacity building when I visited a flower farm about an hour outside Nairobi. Eunice Muthoni Waweru, Executive Director of Workers Rights Watch, was giving in-service training for managers about sexual harassment. The twenty-some participants listened intently as Eunice explained what sexual harassment is (“If it is unwanted, it is sexual harassment”) and what can be done against it. Her examples were greeted with a lot of laughter, but also had a serious message that gave everybody food for thought. Eunice Muthoni Waweru (Workers Rights Watch) giving in-service training about sexual harassment. This kind of training is important to combat sexual harassment and thereby improve working conditions for women in the flower sector. And the CSR Africa scan can help companies determine if sexual harassment is an issue at their farm and give them advice on how to improve. The future of CSR Africa Expectations for CSR Africa are high. “We hope that the portal will be visited by all producers at all stages of working on social impact,” Andrea told me. And not only in East Africa. “Although CSR Africa currently focuses on floriculture in East Africa, we see potential for this application in agri-food value chains across the world. We’re eager to start spreading our experiences from Kenya so they can be applied in new contexts.” I am also very hopeful. Whereas in the past the focus was mainly on environmental aspects when it comes to sustainability in floriculture, now there is more and more interest in the social aspect as well. Some of the growers we spoke to during the fair were very enthusiastic about the social impact scan. If we continue to work together, businesses and civil society, we can make the floriculture sector a great place to work.

The little girl walked down the dirt road slowly, holding the last thing her protector had given her. Her jet black hair hung limply, despite the strong wind gusts that stirred leaves and raised little dervishes made of dust. She did not seem to see the bleak landscape around her. Her brown eyes stayed always focused on the thing in her hand. She clutched it tightly to remember him by. A storm brewed nearby, malevolently. Cracks of thunder broke the silence from time to time. Each thunderclap engendered the same reaction in the solitary little girl. She clutched at her dress with her free hand. Her lips pursed and she squeezed her eyes shut momentarily. Then her lips moved. “Master, protect me. Keep me safe. Show me the way. Give me strength.” Off to the sides of the dusty road on which the girl walked, bodies littered the landscape. They lay in the creek. They hung across the fences on either side of her. They were scattered like flotsam and jetsam across the fields surrounding the road. Some, not yet surrendered to the inevitability of their own impending deaths, struggled and moaned. A few cried for their mothers, lovers or friends. The little girl heard one man crying for water. “A mercy,” he begged. “Water for my lips before I go to the next life.” His voice was strong until the last two words, when it faded to a croak. He grimaced and closed his eyes. The girl shivered, for she knew the power that came from words on the lips of the dying. She clutched the thing in her hand more tightly and averted her eyes from the destruction all around her. Then, despite herself, the girl looked at the man who had begged for water. Three arrows protruded from his stomach and another from his groin. He looked back at her for a moment and his hand reached out. Then his eyes closed. The hand fell. He spoke no more. The girl’s lips moved again. “Give him peace.” Her hands rolled the stem. It had perhaps been some flowering thing at one time, but now it was only a ghost of what it had been. It had a stalk. A single damaged flower petal clung stubbornly to the top of the stem. The petal was half pink and half black. Like the litter of human beings scattered around the walking girl, the stem was a dying thing. She closed her eyes and continued walking, trusting her feet to keep her on the road. The wind gusted, roaring in from the north. The air around her grew cold. She shivered and made a sign of some sort against her chest. Her white dress swirled around her ankles as dirty dust rose in spirals around her. The pillars of dust rose high into the air, dwarfing the girl. Fat, gray rain clouds scudded in the sky, moving rapidly over her head. At the edges of the fields around her, trees began to bend and groan as a merciless wind pulled at them, swaying even the strongest and oldest of them from top to bottom. The forest came alive with loud shivers of protest, joining in the cacophony of those whose lives leaked out into the soil around them. The dance of the wind and the forest trees grew frenetic. She continued walking, trying to ignore the increasing sense of foreboding. As the air grew colder and the noises of the storm grew louder the voices of the dying were eaten by the wind. The sky turned from grey to black and rain began to fall. At first only a few fat drops came down, but those were soon joined by an endless multitude of brothers and sisters from the heavens. An army of battering drops grew larger and colder until they changed from water to ice. Liquid began to pool in the ditches on both sides of the girl. In minutes, the channels became rushing streams. Soon, almost mercifully, the dying men in the fields began to drown in the deluge. In the falling hail, few of them had enough energy or fight left to do anything but let go of the world. Her white dress clinging to her body now, the little girl tried not to watch the injured men as they succumbed. She tried not to think about how many souls were being claimed but failed. She saw the man who had been begging for water pull himself upright against a fence for a few seconds. Then his eyes rolled back in his head. He fell into the thing he had been begging for and it drowned him. The girl wondered if he managed to swallow any water to assuage his thirst before he died. The rain continued falling. The ditches began to overflow. Soon the road was no longer a road. The two streams on either side of her joined forces and rose until the water was pulling on the bottom of the her dress. It threatened to pull her feet out from under her each time she took a step. Soon, bodies were floating by, brushing against her feet. The hail stung her skin. As it grew in size it began to more than sting. Her pale skin soon became mottled with red splotches. All the world turned to water. Stumbling now in the wind and the current, the girl began to despair. Unbalanced, she fell with a splash that went unheard by any ears but her own. As she fell a corpse brushed against her. She flailed, in a panic and rose quickly, but only by the greatest effort. The girl found herself barely able to stand against the fury of the storm. Mud stained her dress now, and her black hair was disheveled. She coughed dirty water from her mouth and trembled. The water pulled at her yet again. Angrily, like a hungry beggar. The hail grew even larger, and it began to rip her skin. It battered her and when it hit her in the head, the pain made her dizzy. She began to panic. “Save me,” she begged, and looked up into the sky. Lightning flashed. It blinded her. The thunder clap came almost immediately. She felt it resonate powerfully in her chest. Then something unexpected happened. The stem in her hand quivered. She felt the movement and flinched. Her hand went numb and opened of its own accord. With the single half-dead petal still clinging to it, the stem fell through the rain towards the water flowing past and around her feet. She grabbed desperately and failed to snatch it. Her mouth fell open in a silent scream of despair as she thought of the dead man who had given it to her, promising her that he would always protect her from harm. “I will bring you another flower when I return,” he’d said. Only he hadn’t returned. She had waited until the food ran out. Then she went looking. She had found him dead in the forest, a large wound in his back. He’d caught a rabbit, which she’d eaten through her sobs. Her master was also holding another stem in his dead hand. The petals of its flower were crushed. She’d left it with him. After a time with his body, she had started walking. The only people she’d seen since finding her dead master had also been dead or dying. In a daze, she had looted the bodies, walked and prayed. She was not sure how many days and nights had passed. The stem disappeared into the water and she thrust her hand downward again, plunging it into the frothy, muddy maelstrom. Her hand made contact with something hard. It felt like a large piece of wood. She realized that something was happening under the water. Something was growing down there. The ground beneath her trembled. She felt her body rising and her mouth opened. The water receded and she realized that the ground was pushing itself higher. In the center of the rapidly growing hill, the stem had anchored itself the to the ground. As she watched it grew thicker and thicker. The single pink and black petal grew as well. Its color changed and become more radiant as the black faded away and the pink grew vibrant. New pink petals began to sprout from the top. In moments the plant had grown to twice the height of the girl. Soon it towered over her and the petals formed a protective pink umbrella that the now massive hail simply bounced off and fell to the ground in a circle around the canopy. The girl entered the safety of the shelter. She clung to the stem of the now massive plant and watched the storm wash the wicked world away. Time passed, and the sun returned. The girl stood. Tears fell from her eyes as she thought of her dead master and his promise to keep her safe. She kissed the stem, and prayed a prayer of thanks for her safety, then continued on her journey.

Reproductive Trickery in Flowers Ophrys umbilicata by Henry Hemming, Flickr Today we’ll be moving away from the mostly predator/prey relationships that we’ve looked at so far when it comes to mimicry. Instead, we’re going to look a a form of mimicry used to increase the reproductive success of the mimic species. In Season 2, we talked about the mutualistic relationship between many flowers and their pollinators. This story is an example of what happens when the flower ‘cheats’ and denies any potential benefit to the pollinator species. Why would a pollinator do this work when it receives no benefit? Because the flower in question puts on an elaborate ruse, tricking its helper into thinking it has its own opportunity for reproduction. This is seen frequently with orchids, especially the genus Ophrys. They are sometimes called ‘bee orchids’ because of their mimicry of bees, wasps, and other insects. Because of the ability of many orchids to hybridize easily, the exact number of species in the genus varies depending on the authority doing the classification. Ophrys scolopax by Luis Nunes Alberto, Wikimedia Commons This mimicry is similar in many ways to the fireflies from a few weeks ago. The orchid mimics the female of a particular insect to attract males of that species. When the duped insect lands to mate, the male part of the flower attaches a sticky mass of pollen called a pollinium to it. This pollen is then transferred to the female part of another flower when the insect is tricked again. Obviously, the consequences for the dupe are not as severe as the male fireflies, though they do waste large amounts of sperm during these pseudocopulations. Much like mutualistic pollination relationships, different orchid species have adapted to mimic specific insect species. For example, the mirror orchid, Ophrys speculum, is only pollinated by a species of scoliid wasp, Dasyscolia ciliata. The visual mimicry is excellent, but can be easily over-emphasized by humans, considering that sight is one of the most developed of our five senses. In truth, the visual similarities are important at close range, but are not the key to successful mimicry. The orchids also mimic the texture of their pollinators but the real attractant is chemical in nature. These orchids produce a chemical secretion that is indistinguishable from the natural pheromones of the females of its pollinator species. These chemical signals act as a nearly irresistible lure for the male insects. Ophrys speculum by Esculapio, Wikimedia Commons Dasyscolia ciliata by Pietro Niolu, Wikimedia Commons As before, imagine yourself in the role of the duped organism. You are a male bee or wasp that must mate in a short period of time. You receive a chemical signal from nearby that indicates the presence of a receptive female of your species. Instinctually, you move in to investigate and find something that looks like a female of your species that is producing that scent. You move in to copulate, but find that it is actually a flower, not a female insect. What now? You can be more wary of such signals, but that also increases the chances of false negatives (avoiding the pheromones of an actual female). You need to weigh the various risks of wasting more sperm on a mimic and passing up real mating opportunities. Duped males have been observed as being more likely to ignore the mimic orchid in future copulation attempts. Timing is also key for the orchid. Its chances at pollination are maximized when it blooms as the reproductive males are active, but the females are not, as there is no competition for their chemical signalling ruse. As it is, only about 10% of all Ophrys individuals are successfully pollinated. However, this is more than enough to maintain the species as a single orchid of the genus produces as many as 12,000 seeds. It also acts as a strong selective pressure on the mimicry of each species. Only the best mimics among the orchids will manage to reproduce and pass on their genes. The mimicry also eliminates the need for the plant to use energy on nectar to attract pollinator species, since it is not providing any benefit for the duped insect. Next week, we’ll look at another interesting example of mimicry for reproductive purposes. If you like my stories, please like, subscribe, and share them. If you have an idea for a topic for a future season, let me know and if I use it, I’ll give you a shout out in my introductory post.

How Does a Flower Wilt? Watch- The hummingbirds pollinate Going from flower to flower To hope the next generation Brings one “me” into several “our.” Young flowers come into form Born, malleable to the world. Instincts from the parents Hopefully, they were kind And had the knowledge; Point where the sun shines. Wait- As the flower develops Budding with its group Not yet realizing weeds are aloof. The previous generation Never explained the weeds Hopefully, they are well But as for the new flowers; Only time will tell. Behold- Acid rain falls from the sky Absorbed by the flower Where does the fault lie? It’s not “my” it’s “our” The weeds still grow beneath As toxicity grows inside The flower loses ground It will appear like a weed Next time it is found. … - I’ll tell you how a flower wilts When the environment decays When hope turns to hopeless Only the weeds willingly stay. When the fault is to be cast. Where does the pointed finger go? Some point towards the sky. I acknowledge the fault; It’s fully “our” and wholly, “my.”

Cypripedium farreri It is one of the rarest yellow slipper orchids of the world that is found in the south-western part of China. Cypripedium farreri is an orchid of open, grassy, rocky slopes of high mountains. The overall appearance of the flower is much like other members of Cypripedium family, but is much smaller and has fewer leaves.

Rosa ‘Jacqueline du Pré’, EbbTide, Fair Bianca and centre, Brother Cadfael, 15 October 2019 — scanograph — Alex Waterhouse-Hayward It is never too late to learn humility. Yesterday my Rosemary and I went to the monthly meeting of the Vancouver Rose Society. We were asked to bring some blooms (a rare request at this time of the year and with the rain). We did. But I thought of doing something special. I cut four blooms and first scanned them. Then I was instructed by Rosemary to put them into a vase and into the refrigerator so that they would keep for the 7:30 meeting. I thought it would be nice to donate a print of the scan and place it by the vase with our flowers. At the meeting they have door prizes. You buy tickets for a nominal sum of 2 or 3 dollars each. My print was competing with a ceramic flower pot, a bottle of rose water and some florist 6 inch potted roses. I watched as people, when their number was announced, went to retrieve their prizes. My print was the last prize on the table and, I would believe, that the winner reluctantly picked it up as there was nothing else.

When you take as many photos as I do, the ones that tend to stand out are those that have something a little different about them, those that for some reason or another are out of the ordinary. Usually, one sees a photo in isolation, left to judge it only by what information is contained within the frame. But photos are more than just a moment in time. In most cases the end result is governed by the circumstances presented to the photographer, meaning there’s often an untold story behind them, one that can make them even more interesting than just being another nice picture. Choosing just fifteen from each of my key subject areas was never going to be easy and some personal favourites never made the cut. Shooting flowers and gardens is of course something a lot of photographers do, some even do nothing else. But getting really interesting shots takes more than just pointing your camera at a beautiful flower or a nice garden. Anyone can do that. Especially if they’re at a world-class flower show like Chelsea or Hampton Court. To do it well, you need to cultivate an ability to seek out only those that are a cut above and then figure out the best way to shoot them. As well as getting your angles right, the elements play a big part. The sun and the wind can all help make the difference between a beautiful image and a common or garden snap. These then are the stories behind fifteen of my favourite floral images from 2015. Spray! You don’t have to go to prestigious flower shows to get great floral shots. This stunning spray of tulips was actually taken outside a florists, The Flower Stand in Hove. Time For Tea 1: For the last four years, one of the most interesting exhibits to shoot at the Chelsea Flower Show has been created by Interflora. Whilst they’ve never managed to deliver anything quite as brilliant as their 2011 Perspectives installation, their floral arrangements are amongst the best you’ll see at the show. As it’s impossible to get good shots of the installation in its entirety, I’ve always focused on the details of the display. This year’s Time For Tea was no different. By being creative with my angles, and isolating small sections, I came away with a range of very contemporary images. Time For Tea 2: Another image from Interflora’s Chelsea display which always features unusual combinations of flowers in wonderful colours, artistically arranged against a clean white backdrop. I’m not interested in capturing the entirety, for me it’s all about isolating the details. All too often, the individual parts on their own make better photographs than what they are a part of. The Telegraph Garden: My favourite show garden at this year’s Chelsea was designed by Marcus Barnett and inspired by the strong linear geometry of the De Stijl movement and especially of Dutch artist Piet Mondrian. Bercause of their size, show gardens are difficult to capture in a single photograph, but this shot gives a pretty good impression of why this one won a Gold medal. Although why there wasn’t also a red and yellow cushion will always baffle me! Sweet Surprise: At Chelsea, the RHS announce their plant of the year. Often, the winner underwhelms in terms of visual impact and more interesting examples appear amongst the nineteen runners-up. This year was no different, as this pink gerbera was hands down the best looking. Photographing it however was a real challenge, the plant wasn’t that big, the queues to see it were and I was shooting handheld, with the EM1’s in-camera macro. I have to confess, it looks a lot better here, than it does in reality. They say the camera never lies, but the reality is most images are just a tad economical with the truth! In The Pink: Tulips have always been one of my favourite flowers to photograph and Bloms Blooms always have the best display of tulips at Chelsea. The Blom family should know what they’re doing, they’ve been breeding tulips since 1860! Getting good shots of them isn’t easy as you can’t go onto the stand and the lighting in the Great Pavilion is terrible. These were shot from above. The end result looks like they’ve beeen painted, rather than photographed. A Trugmaker’s Garden: A trug is a traditional wooden basket used in gardening. Dating back to the 1820’s, they are still made in Sussex by a handful of craftsmen using willow and sweet chestnut. At this year’s Chelsea, trugs were celebrated with an artisan garden. It won a gold medal for Chelsea first-timers Serena Fremantle and Tina Vallis. This pastoral image is just a small detail from their gorgeous recreation of a trugmaker’s garden. World Vision: So many show gardens at Chelsea and Hampton Court aim to tell a heartfelt story, often one related to some kind of charity or cause. This one by John Warland was no different, but to be honest it was the media, more than the message, that interested me. Floating in an ink black reflective pool were groups of cacti set in mirrored squares. It was as surreal as it was mesmerising. And, when you get your angles right, it made for a memorable image. Spirit of the Aegean: Another geometric image, this time from Hampton Court. It’s a detail from Esra Parr’s gold-winning show garden for Noble Caledonia. There’s something creatively satisfying in finding a standalone image within a far larger garden. Once you’ve identified an interesting feature, it’s then all about working out how to shoot it in the most interesting way. Apart from the angles, I really like the reflection of the lavender in the rill. The Camomile Lawn: I really liked Sarah Keyser’s first ever show garden, particularly her all white planting, set against white-painted timber. The curved lawn was camomile, rather than grass. The curve is what makes the image. Sempervivum: Continuing the curved theme, this image is a detail of a pot on Rae Wilkinson’s Healing Urban Garden. Sempervivum is a succulent found in the mountainous regions of Southern Europe and on Mediterranean islands. The name translates as “always living” or the common name of live forever. The Serenity Stone: A small detail from the Healing Urban Garden, designed by West Sussex garden designer Rae Wilkinson. Often, show gardens are filled with loads of different planting and a multitude of features, what works better in a single image is to isolate just a few of them: in this case, the mauve flowers, the grasses and the roundstone. How one frames those elements is what makes the picture. Viridis: Coastal planting on Littlehampton’s newly-built riverside walkway. Despite some of the flowers having gone over, this one’s all about the colours and tones. What makes it though is the metal background. What happens in the background is as important as the subject. Glorious Carnations: Just a few of the 35,000 red carnations (yes, 35,000 individual carnations!) that featured on the Qatar Flower Wall at this year’s Glorious Goodwood. Thousands photographed it, but I doubt any shot it like this. Eryngium: Sea holly taken on Littlehampton’s riverside walkway. Another of my favourite plants to photograph. This would make a great album cover! Behind the image: All these images were shot handheld with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 and either the 12–40 2.8 Pro or the 75 1.8 lens, often using the camera’s built-in macro function and always with available light only.

Amaryllis: To Be or Not to Be You’ve probably seen these plants before, but do you know what they’re really called? Amaryllis is the name of a plant genus these flowers grow from bulbs and are most often bought and sold during the winter months I would wager that you know at least one person with an Amaryllis in their home right now but I would also wager that you don’t because what we commonly refer to as Amaryllis is not Amaryllis at all these lovely green shooted, trumpet flowered organisms are actually members of the genus Hippeastrum the florists are lying to you! well, not actually what they’re really doing is continuing a long held contention over the difficult process of defining nomenclature for years there was confusion among botanists over the difference between these two genera which is why theAmaryllis is still used as the common name if you go to a florist, or a green house, or a grocery store, you will surely find Hippeastrum labeled as Amaryllis Wild Amaryllis actual Amaryllis are native to the Western Cape region of South Africa and are not sold in pots in grocery stores they thrive in mountainous areas and usually grow and flower after the first winter rains they also prosper in urban and suburban plantings on the West Coast of the US California is full of them since the environment there closely mimics that of the Amaryillys’ natural habitat Australia has also taken a liking to the wild ones they have created all sorts of cross breeds and hybrids between species so as to obtain different color variations it’s easy to tell a hybrid from a purebred since the hybrids usually have striped, dark veined petals But what isn’t so easy is determining what’s actually Amaryillis and what’s Hippeastrum. Just remember that if you’re not outside and you’re not in South Africa, it’s probably Hippeastrum, no matter what the tag from the plant nursery may say. But if you’re looking at a bulb in a pot, it’s probably Hippeastrum. This nomenclature confusion is just a taste of the confusion that comes along with taxonomy. The naming of things in our natural world is a beautiful process, no doubt, but we often run into issues caused by long held contentions that cause problems, both for botanists and every day plant enthusiasts. This difficulty is exactly why we must carry on with this exercise in naming our Earth’s inhabitants. Messy and discombobulating as it may be, the fruits of discovery and organization are well worth the struggle.

When I think of my ex-lover Somadina, I think of some of the wilted flowers in the small garden behind his Ikoyi duplex, the stems of roses bent to submission, weak and dry like what we had. I think of how often I watched Somadina remove the weeds on his flower beds, each pull from the soil faded my senses into oblivion. “Our children will really love it in my garden, Dhalia”, he would say with a certainty that forced me to endlessly count the pinnules of the ferns in his garden, searching for ways to distract myself from the scary thought of the future he imagined for us. I liked Somadina and his love for plants, how he named me after his favorite flower - ‘Dahlia’, he immersed it into my heart until ‘Amaka’ stopped feeling like my name. I wanted to always hear him call me ‘Dhalia’, I loved the way the words fell off his lips, into my ears and down to my heart. He never forgets to water the plants that flanked his staircase except he looses himself in his writing. I had helped him water them on a Sunday afternoon, I watched as the water trickled down the can and into the flower pots, they looked beautiful, like the words he said to me afterwards, “Thank you Dhalia, I cannot wait for our daughter to watch while you water our plants”. I loved how safe my tongue felt in Somadina’s mouth whenever we kissed. That night, when we made love in his dimly lit room, I thought of how he said ‘our plants’. It felt good to be included in his friendship with his garden, our garden. Somadina knew what to do and where to go with my body until he didn’t, until he stopped calling me ‘Dhalia’, until he stopped seeing our future and all the children we had in it, until I found out he wanted to spend the rest of his life with a fair girl he calls ‘Gazania’. He wanted to have kids with a thick girl he calls ‘Tulips’. Until I found out ‘Pretty Lotus’ reminded him of his late mother’s grace and he wanted to bask in that feeling forever. I was ‘Dhalia’ for a while but he was done writing his book and I was only a character in a love story. I wonder where he would love to be buried…in his garden? Surrounded by all the 42 species of Dhalia.

Index of flowers A friend was buying flowers, so I found myself walking on the side streets of Cubao last Saturday, breathing the scent of roses, mums and gerberas that sprouted in unlikely corners lit by pockets of sunshine. The flower market was dominated by red roses. They reminded me of R’s usual offering: always a dozen, always deep red, always roses. It was also always accompanied by a box of chocolates. This was the formula for every occasion in the next two years, after two bouquet-less Valentine’s Days drove him to the realization that girls liked receiving flowers and gifts on Valentine’s Day. E, on the other hand, first sent me flowers when I told him our clandestine romance couldn’t go any further. I woke up three days later with flowers at my feet: a bouquet of baby pink stargazers that peeled open bud by bud through the week. “I wanted it to be the first thing you would see when you open your eyes,” he later on said. It was through that that I found it is hard to resist candy-coated superficiality. E’s J hid a bouquet of baby pink stargazers and carnations in his car, which I saw after we watched John Legend’s concert. It serendipitously matched what I appeared in that day: a pastel pink off-shoulder. I couldn’t remember what he was wearing that night, but I remember slow-dancing to “All of Me,” in the dark, as the rest of the crowd had their phones up to the stage, recording Mr. Legend, immortalizing the rare moment. It was a beautiful night. J’s Petals of those flowers have all wilted, along with our dreams.

How Oakland Has Inspired Our Culture Here at Codecrew We’re hella flattered that you care about who we are (heck, we’ve had first dates that show less interest in us). So you want to learn How Oakland has inspired our culture here at our boutique email marketing agency? That’s so sweet of you! Trust me; we won’t let you down ’cause (in case you didn’t notice), we absolutely love talking about our wonderful town aaand ourselves. This giant urban cultural mecca didn’t only inspire the great Walt Disney but also this fun-loving group of email marketing experts, web developers, and design enthusiasts that we call CodeCrew. And that’s exactly what we’ll be chatting about today as we cover some of the wonders that have put Oakland on the map. HOW OAKLAND HAS INSPIRED OUR CULTURE HERE AT CODECREW POST HIGHLIGHTS: A RICH INTELLECTUAL HISTORY We’re proud to say that The Town has a rich intellectual history. Aside from the revolutionaries that have called Oakland home, there’s also a lot more to us than you probably knew. Most of you might guess that California’s UC university system started in Berkeley, and we completely understand that since that’s where it’s most prestigious institution is located. But you know what? It actually started here in Oakland. Yup, you heard that right! The University of California was founded on March 23, 1868, and before moving to Berkeley in 1873, it operated in Oakland. Take that, Berkeley! Its first graduating class, better known as the 12 Apostles, included a U.S. congressman, a future California governor, a mayor, two UC regents, a bank president, a businessman, an attorney, a math professor, an engineer, a clergyman, and a rancher. To put it mildly, these dudes were pretty darn influential. Today, the UC system has over 1.8 million living alumni, having educated generations and generations of Californians. It’s been a wellspring for many bold ideas that have helped develop the Golden State what it is today, and owes its roots to this bangin’ town. THERE WOULDN’T BE A DISNEYLAND IF IT WEREN’T FOR OAKLAND Yeeeeeah, you read that right. Yes, sure, we like to talk ourselves and our city up sometimes, but we don’t need to embellish here at all. It’s time to chat about Disneyland a little bit — yup, I’m talking about one of the most unique places on earth. What does it have to do with Oakland at all? One word: Fairyland. Did you know that there wouldn’t be a Disneyland if it weren’t for it? Yup, you read that right! Disney’s creator, Walt Disney, was inspired by Oakland’s lovely little escape from reality right by the lake, Fairyland. Fortunately for Disney, his theme park actually went on to be one of the most well-known places in the world. But again, thanks to our lovely Town. You’re welcome, Walt. Oakland is home to a real gem of a storybook theme park. Although it didn’t become one of the most well-known places in the world, Children’s Fairyland has been delighting families with young children since 1950. As the story goes, Walt Disney visited Fairyland back in 1955, and shortly after that, he built Disneyland. Moreover, he hired Fairyland’s first director to work at his new amusement park in Anaheim, so it’s pretty obvious that there’s no denying the fact: Oakland’s Fairyland is the OG Disneyland before Disneyland. While Disney’s parks went the commercial route, the Children’s Fairyland turned into a nonprofit after several years of being managed by the Town, it remains a lovely, lakeside mid-century park where no adult is allowed without a child. MORE THAN A GAME — SPORT AND SOCIETY IN OAKLAND As you already know, professional sports are a huuuge part of our culture here in the states. Millions of folks attend various sporting events to cheer on their favorite teams all across the country, and that’s hella cool, but you know what, it’s not just about winning — it’s about a huge range of benefits that you get from being part of a team and aiming for the same goal — to be the best at what you do. Oakland is the only city in California that was home to even three professional sports teams: the infamous Golden State Warriors, the notorious Oakland Raiders, and the amazing Oakland A’s. Unfortunately, two of these three teams had to say goodbye to our town for one reason or another, but hey, we still have the A’s, and to be honest, it truly is a team to be proud of. These guys have won nine World Series championships and even fifteen AL pennants. In the late 1990s, they turned to a completely new management strategy that focused on acquiring less-known players by giving added weight to in-depth statistical analysis. This strategy became known by the term “Moneyball” (named after a best-selling book about A’s general manager Billy Beane). After the A’s implemented this system, numerous franchises began putting variations of that strategy into practice as well. These guys really show us what teamwork is. To win a championship, a promotion, or a marketing game, all you have to do is to beat the immediate competition, right? But in order to achieve that, you don’t need billions, but a bond that promotes strength, creativity, reliability, unity, and support. Maybe we’re not too different from the A’s here at CodeCrew as we thought. ART DECO ARCHITECTURE IN THE DOWNTOWN During Oakland’s manufacturing heyday between the 1920s and 1940s, Oakland has built tons of Art Deco style buildings — the hip, cool, with-it architecture style of the day. There’s plenty of fabulous Art Deco elements throughout the Town, in all of their gorgeous terra cotta mosaic glory. The Paramount and Fox Theaters downtown are two of the most iconic (and most beautiful) buildings, featuring Oakland’s classic Art Deco style, aaand there’s also the Grand Lake Theatre next to Lake Merritt. RACE AND SOCIAL JUSTICE Let’s just get this out of the way: there’s no way you can talk about Oakland and not mention race and social justice. The Black Panthers obviously got started here, along with many an uprising or revolution for peoples’ rights. Oakland is a town on the forefront of nearly all social movements in the US. This beautiful place has been a mecca for people of color and civil rights for as long as our neighbor; San Francisco has been a mecca for inventors and entrepreneurs. Want to find out more about that? No worries, we’ve got you covered. Check out our blog post about social and creative movements in Oakland here. Culture and art often intertwine, especially in such a diverse city like Oakland. This is a multicultural city, where African-American, Asian, Pacific Islander, and Hispanic influences are strong. Over 100 languages are spoken around the Town and over five different languages in CodeCrew and they’re represented artistically in various ways. This Town doesn’t make it easy at all to feel smug about your insider art knowledge, because the arts scene in Oakland will never ever stop blindsiding you. On the weekends, Oakland’s public spaces and parks are stages where performers and artists go wild. But even during the week, the Town is alive with creative types doing what they do best. WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU’RE GOING? So, you probably feel like you know us and our Town very well, do you? Trust me; there’s so much more to learn about the wonderful areas, people, and cultures that are surrounding us as well as the opportunities this place has for young folks. The wonders of the town never cease, and there are so many communities that can serve as a great example of that, led by CodeCrew. Of course. Just stay tuned, and you’ll see.

Untold marketing secrets to come up with product ideas, sell like insane and live the life you want. Did you ever felt curious about how successful brands have positioned them on the market in an irreversible manner? Did you ever feel overwhelmed about how personal brands have generated mass trust among their audiences and create consistent wealth? If you are an entrepreneur, freelancer, coach, mentor, professional, or a marketing enthusiast, who wishes to launch a new product or service or to take your product or service to the next level, then this article is for you. I am going to break down all the barriers you have encountered till today so that you can come up with a product or service idea and figure out what you need to do in order to succeed in your marketing whether you are a solopreneur or a company. The clarity for your financial goals. Before discussing the core concepts, I want to make yourself clear about your own financial goals. Let me share insight into how you can plan your financial goals in an effective way. All businesses are for making revenue irrespective of the product or service being sold. You might be having a vision of making enough wealth out of your business. Let’s say you want to earn 1 crore in revenue in one year. You might be thinking that how can it be possible? Ok, let me break it down. Look at the infographic. You can create a product of 100 rupees and sell to one lakh customers so that you can generate 1 crore in revenue, or You can create a product of 1,000 rupees and sell to ten thousand customers so that you can generate 1 crore in revenue, or You can create a product of 10,000 rupees and sell to a thousand customers so that you can generate 1 crore in revenue, or Even you can create a product of 1,00,000 rupees and sell to a hundred customers so that you can generate 1 crore in revenue. It is totally upon you, your niche and your targeted audiences. Later in this article, I will tell you, what is a niche and how can you choose the niche. I can even break it down into the simplest way if you are still feeling it is not achievable in the span. Let’s say you want to sell a product of 100 rupees to 1 lakh customers. You can set your targets for four quarters and can effectively monitor where it is going. Let’s say 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% of total sales you want to obtain by the end of one year, to be obtained for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarter respectively. That is 10,000 sales for the 1st quarter, 20,000 sales for the 2nd quarter, 30,000 sales for the 3rd quarter and 40,000 sales for the 4th quarter. That means 10,000+20,000+30,000+40,000= 100,000 sales by the end of year. So, instead of thinking how am I going to make 1 lakh sales in one year? you can start working on getting 10,000 sales for the 1st quarter. If you haven’t achieved that target at the end, you can do the necessary assessment and evaluations so that you can improve in the next quarter. Hope you understood clearly. Now we can talk about the marketing of your product or services. Well, before talking about the main ideas, I would like to make clarity about a common misconception I have seen among people that Marketing and Advertising are the same. They seem to be the same, but they aren’t. Marketing is your systematic planning of strategies and implementation of those strategies to create brand awareness and trust, create a valuable product or service and decide the pricing, generating sales and retain the customer for a lifetime. Advertising is only a part of marketing strategies, where you advertise your product or services, to get customer attention and generate sales. The fundamentals of marketing. Now that you are pretty clear about the difference between marketing and advertising, we can discuss marketing fundamentals in detail. The classic definition of marketing according to AMS (American Marketing Association) is “ the activity, set for institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners and society at large”. The first thing is, whenever you come up with an idea of a product or service you must validate the idea to confirm whether it is viable or not. In order to validate this, you must answer these questions. What is your product? Your product or service idea may be a unique idea or an existing one in the market. If there is a similar product or service already in the market probably there will be competition. Don’t worry, knowing your competitor is half your success. Now you know your competitor and you shall differentiate your product from your competitor. And this differentiation is called USP or unique selling proposition. There shall be something unique that differentiate from your competitor’s product. It may be the design, it may be the price point, it may be your refund policy or it may be the user interface. Ok, don’t be confused. Let me explain through an example of a product that is already in the market. You might have seen a portable blender that is common nowadays in Amazon and Flipkart and probably in the local market of all countries. Blendjet is a company that sells a similar product around the world. Blendjet has over 1 million customers around 195 countries. How can they sell a similar product when giant e-commerce brands like Amazon, where there are thousands of sellers selling a similar product around the world? The answer is simple. Most of the portable blenders are manufactured in china and sellers those who are selling a similar product might be purchased in bulk and probably of low quality. Blendjet products are manufactured without compromising in the quality and added uniqueness in their product design. It is USB C chargeable and powerful enough to make 15 blends, quantity markings on the jar. Look at their logo, product design and custom packing. That makes them different from other sellers or brands. Look at their website to see how their USPs are demonstrated throughout the site. Who can resist buying this product from blendjet, when so many problems are solving. Now you might have an idea about how to differentiate your product from the competitor. 2. Who is this product for and where to sell? This question answers who are your target audience. If your product or service is a problem solving one it will be easy to define your targeted customers. And these involve several questions such as; Who is it for, men or women? What is the age group, income, education, ethnicity, purchasing behavior, etc? See who all are Digital Deepak’s customers? Let’s take his Digital Marketing internship programme. It is simple, men and women. Age group is no limit; whoever wants to learn digital marketing basics can join the course. He has students even older than him. Still, we can assume that 18 to 60 years of age group as his audiences. Not finished, anyone who wishes to start a new career in the digital platform, any business owner or anyone plans to start a business, anyone as a beginner in the digital platform, professional who wants to expand their business etc. are also his targeted customers. The USP of his product is his internship program has a cashback system where you get almost all the amount you pay for the course and it is fully practical oriented. No, let’s think about how he comes up with this unique idea. They are a lot of enthusiasts who wish to learn digital marketing skills for their varying purposes. But nobody was there to deliver a structured course that enables them to be a digital marketer. He was brilliant to identify this requirement and the possibility of the requirement of digital marketing professionals in the coming future. And these enthusiasts would be from any part of Indian from a small village to a tier 1 city. 3. What is your pricing? Pricing is also a very important factor for the success of your product or service. If your product is a physical/ digital product, whether it is a problem solving or impulse buying its price should be proportional to the perceived values. You cannot sell a product for 250 rs that is available for 100 rupees in the local market unless it is having unique characteristics that defeat the competitor’s product characteristics. If you have a digital product, you are supposed to price your product based on how much value is getting to the customer, not based on how much days or months you have worked on it. Remember people don't by features, they buy benefits, experience and emotions. 4. What marketing promotion you have to choose: Traditional & Digital? Marketing is that you create a brand in your prospects mind. The thought that comes into your prospects mind when seeing your logo or hearing your brand name. A careful approach to be taken while choosing a marketing strategy. Old age marketing methods are gone. Of course, marketing is the same where you communicate what you have valuable to give to your customer in exchange for money, whether it is the traditional or digital marketing Old age marketing types such as fliers, posters, TV ads, radio ads etc. still works. But it has limitations also. In the digital era, we are required to think about how to reach maximum targeted customers with the least expenditure. Here comes the role of Digital Marketing. Digital Marketing vs. Traditional marketing. Digital marketing is the same as that of traditional marketing. The only difference is the medium has changed. In old times, traditional mediums such as print media, TV, Radio, Fliers, pamphlets and mouth to mouth marketing are being used to communicate, wherein digital marketing mediums such as the internet, social media platforms, search engines, emails SMS etc. are being used. The difference is these digital platforms can be highly customised to reach your targeted audiences precisely. Imagine you have started a baby store in your locality and a 1,000 pamphlets have been delivered along with the newspaper to reach your customers. How many people will read and take action on your ad? Some may read and some may throw the pamphlet. Imagine if you use a marketing method where you are able to reach audiences who have just born babies, or children less than 5 years old, or those are just married. Your ad will reach more accurately to the customers. If you have spent 2 rupees for each pamphlet then you will spend 2,000 rs for 1,000 pamphlets. What if you can directly communicate to your exact targeted customers, one to one, with half of this expenditure or probably less than that? That is the power of digital marketing. Later in this article, I will elaborate more about how you can use Integrated digital marketing effectively to grow your business. CATT Marketing Funnel for your massive success! Before explaining what a CATT marketing funnel let me explain what is a marketing funnel? A funnel is something that you set up, containing a set by step process, your customers go through before making a purchase or conversion. That means the process of converting visitors to customers. I learned about this strategy from Digital Deepak’s Internship program. It has four stages called Content Phase, Attention Phase, Trust Phase and Transaction. Let’s familiarize each one in detail. Content phase to create awareness The first step in the process is to create contents around your niche. And these contents must be educating contents for your customers. Delivering educating contents consistently will create awareness among your targeted audiences. It can be a youtube video, blog post, Instagram or Facebook post, ebooks, webinars, reviews, anything about latest updates in your industry or combination of these. For example, see Sorav Jain’s Instagram page. Every week he posts a carousel image post on his Instagram that includes 8-10 images about new updates in the digital marketing industry. You can visit his profile here Anyone interested in such content will follow him without a doubt and will wait eagerly for the next content after one week. That means his targeted people have gone through the top of the CATT funnel. And he is able to take his audiences up to the bottom of the funnel. Remember content is the king. Tip: You can plan your contents around your niche and create a content calendar to make it effective. Later I will publish a detailed article on how you can create an effective content calendar. Attention Phase: Now that your audiences are gone through the first stage of the CATT funnel, the next stage is grabbing their attention. This can be done by driving traffic to your website or landing page by organically SEO, Social media organic reach etc.) or by paid ads ( FB ads, LinkedIn ads, google ads etc.) Let me share an example. It is only one way. There are a lot of other ways. Robin Sharam is trying to drive traffic to his landing page and thereby capturing the attention of customers by delivering a free audiobook ( content & Value). Here is what happened when I clicked on the link. It directly took me to the landing page where one more call to action was there. When I clicked on the CTA a pop up has been appeared and asked for my email in order to get the free ebook. A smart move. What I am going to get here is a Free audiobook to my inbox and he is getting my email to his database. Yes, I got the ebook in my email. After confirming the email. And the podcast was really worthy and amazing in terms of knowledge he has delivered. He really succeeded in grabbing my attention. Trust Phase : Here in this part, your strategy is to gain the trust of your customers. It can be done by enabling your audiences to engage with your contents repeatedly, through your email sequences, asking to follow on Twitter or Facebook, by showing the client success stories or testimonials, and even through retargeting ads. In the above example, I have found the podcast very much valuable and, by the end of listening to the podcast an interest and trust has been created inside me to read his books or articles. Even the reviews below his podcast page blew up my mind. I have noticed that peoples have listened to his podcast multiple times. One thing is, even if I don’t visit his website again he will keep me updating his contents through his emails. He is too smart that and has already captured my email. From next day onwards, I have started receiving his emails on my inbox. Again he was delivering free content. Here he is trying to make me engage with his free contents to create trust. Let me tell you another example. See below image. How many emails I am getting from Digital Deepak? He is regularly nurturing me as a targeted customer through his blog updates, email sequences, asking to turn up for the webinars scheduled and entertaining me to attend the cashback webinars. Transaction phase: This is the most important part of the CATT funnel as the revenue comes from this part. The point is, once you are able to attain the trust of your targeted audiences, it is easy to sell your products or service. That means you can sell your product (Problem-solving/need of customer) effortlessly if you can gain the trust and have a great offer. That is why I have joined the digital Deepak’s course and am writing this article now. Here is an example, how CATT funnel applied to me? I heard (Mouth to mouth) about Digital Deepak from one of my unseen friends. He just sent me a link to a webinar. I have joined the webinar and that was amazing. (Content phase which created awareness ). As the webinar was useful, again I have attended the webinars on different subjects. I was added to his email sequences and continuously nurtured me through emails. ( Attention phase) Attended webinars repeatedly and gained knowledge from him and knew about his internship program. I have also seen several reviews of the Internship program. ( Trust Phase) I have attended the Digital Deepak’s Internship Program’s announcement webinar and joined the course that day itself. ( Transaction phase) Wow! Interesting right. At this point, I would like to say, anyone who achieved massive success using digital marketing has been through an Integrated digital marketing approach. Now, let’s discuss Integrated Digital marketing and its importance in your success. What is Integrated Digital Marketing? Integrated digital marketing is the way of integrating all the possible marketing channels effectively into your business. Below picture will give you an insight about integrated digital marketing. In this strategy, your content is the leader and other marketing channels are your team members. What if you are using only one channel to reach out to your customer. Let’s say SEO. Of Course, the most cost-effective way to bring traffic to your website or landing page is SEO. But it only works when someone searches in on the search engine. Studies show that a customer gets into a funnel when he sees your content minimum 7 times. Now think if you are using Facebook ads only for reaching out to your customers and you need to show them the ads minimum seven times and it will cost too much money and time. But, what if you can create awareness through your contents and generate interest in your products or services simultaneously through your blog posts, social media accounts, social media networks, Google search results and paid ads. If you are using this method, at the awareness stage itself you will be able to capture the leads. A lead can be an email or a phone number and you will be able to nurture them through your automation. When all these methods are integrated effectively and used efficiently, your targeted customer goes through the CATT funnel in very less time and finally converts into a buyer effortlessly. That means you are saving tons of money and plenty of time. We can say it as a natural sale! You can read more about this strategy in this article. Now that you have well understood about Integrated Digital Marketing, one more thing I need to discuss in detail so that you get more inspiration and take action ahead to create your product or service. Personal Branding: MassTrust Blueprint Have you seen personal brands like Sorav Jain, Digital Deepak, Robin Sharma, Tony Robbins, Fredlam etc. who are generating plenty of wealth and live the freedom life as they want? It is why they created their personal brands, created the mass trust and generated wealth out of it. Personal brands have pros and cons as well. Others cannot invest in a personal brand as well as it cannot be sold. But the good part is a personal brand can create multiple businesses out of it and can be a brand ambassador for his companies. As an entrepreneur, if you wish to become a personal brand, creating mass trust is an inevitable factor for your success. courtesy: Digital Deepak How can you transform yourself as a Personal Brand? By following the below steps, in a disciplinary manner, you can transform yourself into a personal brand. Learn skills Earn knowledge and learn the skills you require to succeed in your niche. This includes mastering in your subjects as well as in marketing fundamentals. Web copywriting, SEO, social media optimization, ads creation, image and video editing and several other things come into play. You must invest in yourself to learn new skills on a daily basis so that confidence and self-esteem level will increase and that drives your passion. 2. Take action Whatever the things you have learned, you shall put into work. The best option is to start a blog around your niche. This way you improve your writing skills, SEO, advertising and a lot. Practice and implementation make you perfect in your area. You can even do freelancing, teaching online and offline and even you can work for yourself. Remember, when you are staring, focus on one thing. Our brain is not multi-functional. If you concentrate on several areas, you will not get productive results. Master one area and move to another. 3. Create contents around your niche. You can create contents like infographics, images and blogs, videos, podcasts etc. You can either be a content curator or a creator. Writing makes you more clear about what you have learned and implemented. It helps to talk to others confidently. You can write about what you have learned, what you got out of it and how others can benefit? Good thing is, your blogs will help you to create your personal brand. You can also share your contents in social media and forums. Remember, personal brands need their own contents. When you start creating contents, people will eventually start to recognize you. At this stage, you can even start a consultation service also. Even if free consultation will help you to gain trust in you. 4. Provide Mentorship When you share your experiences that made a result for yourself and provide those strategies to improve other’s businesses, eventually you can transform into a mentor. Who doesn’t need mentorship for his business from a successful marketer or strategist? Once you start mentorship and helping others to generate businesses, your mentorship can be reached to several other businesses. 5. Your Startup Phase If you want to start your own startup, all the way up to the mentorship phase will help you to launch a product to the market. By this time you might have learned about what the market needs. What are the solutions you can provide? If you have an entrepreneur mindset, by this time, you will be having a beta version of your product. Conclusion All the strategies I have shared here are proven by multiple successful entrepreneurs. If you look around and observe carefully, you can realize the same things. By understanding the basic fundamentals of proven marketing strategies and implementing them into your business can help you to reach your goals and create a dominant place in your niche market. Obviously, it will not happen overnight. Scientists say that in order to succeed in a specific area, one shall spend ten thousand hours on it. Leaning, practising, implementing and learning from mistakes will make you perfect.

Social media forms a crucial part of every organization. Having an online presence is always beneficial for a business. If you own a business, it is still worth investing your money in hiring a top digital marketing agency. You first need to decide if you want an internal team to work as your social media marketing team or you want to hire an external agency. 1. Define the services you want from the agency You should know what the goals of your organization are. This knowledge will help you plan out your marketing objectives. Having a meeting with your team will give you an idea of your company’s capacity. You will get to know if you need to hire an external agency for managing the marketing part of your company. When you contact a digital marketing agency, you should be clear about your business goals. The concerned agency will chalk out the marketing plan based on your goals and objectives. 2. Research the agency’s reputation The experience and expertise of an organization play a crucial role in determining its success. An agency that has more years of experience will always have a good reputation in the market. 3. Take the location of the agency into account While digital services can be provided from a distance, it is always better if you have excellent interpersonal communication with the team. This requires the agency to be located somewhere in the vicinity of your business. It also makes evaluation processes easier. 4. Evaluate their success and feedback Do proper research about the success stories of these agencies. You can also look at the feedback provided by the customers and other organizations who have availed their services. It is also essential that you look at the segment of services provided by these agencies. If you are into real estate, try and hire a company that has successfully catered to such an audience. 5. Analyze the agency’s communication channels If a company is good at digital marketing, it will also implement excellent strategies for itself. You should look at its social media game and strategy. Look how it maintains its relationship on social media. Analyze its strengths and weaknesses and focus on how they can be improved in your business. 6.

Decide on the kind of services you are looking for and then choose an appropriate package for your business. If you feel that your business can grow with the use of digital marketing, then do not hesitate to invest in it. 7. Talk about their strategy Before you delve into the other details, it is important that you learn about the strategy that the agency is planning to follow. Do these strategies align with the goals of your company? Are you well equipped for using these strategies? You will have plenty of time to discuss SEO strategies in detail, but it is important that you have a basic idea to start with.

When to Say No to a New Client: 10 Red Flags for Agencies They say, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. But when it comes to bad clients, are you in better shape if you avoid the lemons altogether? We consult for a number of small AdWords agencies. One emerging trend that we have noticed among newer agencies is that they jump at the prospect of bringing on new accounts, regardless of whether or not these clients are a good fit for them. These relationships quickly take a turn for the worse and the agencies find themselves in hot water. In many cases, the time and energy spent obtaining and onboarding these clients’ accounts outweighs the actual price they’ve paid to the agency. Here at WordStream, our agency team does an in-depth account assessment for every prospect who is interested in our paid search services. Not only do we consider whether we can achieve their goals, we also keep an eye out for “red flags” that indicate they may not be successful, long-term clients. We came to the realization that we needed a formal RFP process the hard way; when we first started offering management services, we encountered our fair share of nightmare accounts. In an attempt to prevent these clients from churning, we poured our hearts and souls into these accounts, only to later realize that our efforts were futile. As a result, we implemented an RFP checklist outlining all requirements for new accounts. If a prospect does not meet these standards, we walk away from the sale, regardless of how lucrative it may be. Most successful AdWords agencies can sniff out “problem clients” from a mile away. In an effort to help new agencies develop this sixth sense early on, I asked agency experts to share their wisdom on the subject. I was lucky to connect with a number of agency owners, veteran account managers and PPC sales executives who were willing to share their thoughts on the subject. Participants included Aaron Levy, Andrew Miller, Bryant Garvin, Heather Cooan, Julie Bacchini, Kirk Williams, Mark Kennedy, Sakis Rizos and WordStreamers Rich Griffin and Elliott Reid. We devised a list of the top warning signs that you’re getting involved with a nightmare client. Save yourself a headache and think twice before taking on clients that exhibit any of these traits! Red Flag #1: They have a history of bad behavior in AdWords. If an account has received multiple warnings for policy violations, or has been fully suspended in the past, it’s likely that it is teetering on the edge of a permanent suspension. One small misstep — a disapproved ad, missing disclaimers on the landing page, etc. — could trigger the account termination, which is nearly impossible to bounce back from. Urge prospective clients to be crystal clear about their account history, so you know exactly where they stand in Google’s eyes. If you’re considering bringing on someone whose account does have a bit of a sordid past, take extra precautions when working in their campaigns. Also, steer clear of working with businesses that advertise restricted products and services, such as gambling, political campaigns, fireworks, etc. While their ads may have gotten through Google bots in the past, the moment you start making mass changes to their accounts, they are likely to get nabbed by the Google Policy police. Red Flag #2: They don’t trust you. This was, by far, the most popular response I got from the PPC community on this topic. Since clients are relinquishing control of a sizable portion of their advertising budget to you, it is important that they are confident with your skill set and respectful of your expertise. Kirk Williams, founder of ZATO, encourages new agencies to beware of clients who constantly second guess everything you say about PPC. In these cases, you often have to spend so much time defending your actions that you can’t focus on making optimal decisions for the account. Red Flag #3: They have a poor reputation online. If your clients have a slew of negative reviews online, this can severely hinder your paid search advertising efforts. Sure, you may be able to generate interest in the business and traffic to their site, but users may be hesitant to convert, given their reputation. We recommend doing a quick background check on the company prior to signing them to ensure they have a good BBB rating and decent Yelp reviews. If their reputation is abysmal, they’re likely to be a challenging account to work with. In some cases, this may also help you to discern whether the company itself is in good financial standing. We’ve seen some failing companies use PPC as a last-ditch attempt to garner new business. Nine times out of ten, these end up being very short-term clients. Red Flag #4: They’re opposed to testing new strategies on the account. Prospective clients are coming to you because they aren’t happy with their current PPC management solution, therefore they should be welcome your proposals to explore new techniques within their accounts (provided that your experiments are within reason). If they are super rigid from the get-go, it may be challenging to win their trust and convince them to be more open to testing in the future. Not only will this cramp your management style, but it could prevent you from achieving success within the account and keeping the client for the long-term. A good client understands that not all tests yield great results, but is still receptive to trying new PPC strategies. Red Flag #5: They’re commitment-phobes. Julie Bacchini, founder of Neptune Moon, likens the pre-sale process to dating. Now let me tell you, if I went on a date with someone who spent the entire evening complaining about his myriad of past girlfriends AND who couldn’t commit to date #2, I would certainly not pursue a relationship with him. Agencies encounter similar red flags while courting prospective clients through the sales process. Don’t ignore these tell-tale signs. Be on guard if the prospect has worked with numerous agencies in the past and has never been content. In this case, it’s likely that he or she is impatient, temperamental or has unrealistic expectations. If the prospect is reluctant to sign a contract altogether, run for the hills. Red Flag #6: They refuse to acknowledge that their website is a disaster zone. We all know this — our PPC efforts are futile if we’re sending searchers to a totally hideous AdWords landing page. We can find the perfect keyword combinations, entice visitors with irresistible ad text, score a click….and then BOOM, the moment they land on the disastrous website, they high-tail it out of there and back to the SERP to click on your competitors’ ads. If your prospect’s website is poor and they’re willing to make adjustments, they could be a great fit (bonus points if you offer web development/design services), but if they are dead set on sticking with their current site, turn down the sale. Red Flag #7: They can’t define their goals. A prospective client with no concrete PPC goals? Sound like a goldmine, right? Wrong — just because they struggle to give you clear goals doesn’t mean they don’t have expectations as to what they hope to see the PPC account yield. Oftentimes, when prospects don’t provide clear thresholds for success, it means that they need a little coaching on paid search. Take the time to explain KPIs to them and help them to understand exactly what you’ll be able to achieve in their account. If you don’t have this alignment from the start, you may lose the client early on because they don’t understand the value you are bringing to their overall advertising campaigns. Red Flag #8: Their goals are wildly unreasonable. AdWords agency experts cited this as a problem that they encounter all too frequently. In some cases, prospects are focused on the wrong metrics and, despite our attempts to shift their perspectives, they are unwilling to budge on these requirements. For example, I’ve seen numerous prospects fixate on their Quality Scores, rather than more concrete measures of success like CPA or conversions. Even more frequently, clients want guaranteed results from the get-go. Anyone in the paid search space knows that this is a ludicrous expectation, as major account changes often take months to implement and optimize. If you cannot reset your prospects’ expectations appropriately in these circumstances, they’re probably more trouble than they are worth. Red Flag #9: They don’t respect your schedule. No doubt, it is critical for clients to develop good relationships with their account managers. They should be meeting regularly to discuss changes in the business model, upcoming promotions, account trends and more. However, it is a major red flag when prospective clients do not attend pre-scheduled meetings or call and email incessantly with questions about their accounts. If they don’t respect these boundaries during the sales process, there’s a good chance that things will only get worse as you take ownership of their account. Time spent dealing with the client can impede on the time you set aside to work in their account. Bryant Garvin also urges new agencies to be aware of prospective clients that “want to set expectations of ‘quantity’ of communication (especially by phone/video chat) without solid reasons why.” Red Flag #10: Your gut says no. I’ll leave you with these words of wisdom from Julie Bacchini, which I found to be really powerful — if the prospective client just doesn’t feel like the right fit for you, have the courage to walk away from the sale. Even though your reasoning may not be super concrete, if you don’t feel excited to work in the account, turn down the sale. Otherwise, you’ll find yourself dreading spending time in it and feeling as though it is distracting you from other clients. Save your energy for accounts that you enjoy working in!

The client/agency relationship and business model are changing as each grapple with the best way to support rapid innovation in a digital age. Just as CMOs are being held more accountable for the business strategy and creating a complete customer experience, agencies are finding themselves tackling difficult assignments that require deep collaboration, total transparency, and often an unclear idea what the final deliverable should be. One thing is clear: the old (and some current) ways of doing things just aren’t working and a new path is something clients and agencies need to forge together. At RedSwan5, our unique approach is working and we offer our insights into what is working. 1. Rethink the Discovery Process Your client’s problems will not be solved by a single creative marketing campaign or a new website. Organizations face complex business problems that must be understood to make a true impact on the business. It is important to investigate internal issues that have hurt the client in the past and to have insight into how your work will contribute revenue or impact operations. According to Leslie Collins, Executive Director of DiscoverE.org, “An open dialogue at the very beginning of the assignment about how we get in our own way allowed us to acknowledge when it happened — and course correct when we needed to.” At the start, both clients and agencies should know: What internal processes will get in the way Who should really be part of decisions How the data might be collected and used What they wish would have happened when they’d done this in the past If everyone will be okay if the assignment changes based on what is collectively learned in the discovery phase 2. Embrace the Iterative Design Process Forget counting revision cycles and restricting feedback — a better model allows for collaboration around an objective that is tied to a timeframe. With the objective clearly established, design decisions can be prioritized based on how well they fit the objective. If they do not, they can fall lower on the list or could be addressed in subsequent work. In order to successfully embrace this process both client and agency must agree to: Remain focused on the agreed objective Start with prioritized requirements that tic and tie to objective Prioritize design ideas and functionality based on requirements Limit the time frame so work can be managed and delivered Address related items later if they do not directly support the objective 3. Get to the MVP (minimum viable product) or Prototype Fast Gathering feedback from potential early users is the best and fastest way to test beliefs and requirements. An MVP is also a way to screen for user experiences that may be based on potential client bias. Real users clicking through actual designs that demonstrate the user flow teaches both the agency and client what customers are willing to pay for. “It is more productive and far more gratifying to be collaborating with all the right people in the room focused on a single objective, without worrying about getting it perfect right out of the gate.” – Darryl Settles, Catalyst Ventures Development Before finalizing design or spending big on development, use click-through prototype tools like Invision, Optimal Workshop, JustInMind or even a presentation application with links to verify your assumptions. The tools can be used to: Gain valuable market intelligence Tease out the real competitive differentiator Attain additional funding and support Prove the concept 4. Remember: Change (of Scope) is a Good Thing It used to be that a change of scope was a sign of things gone wrong. In today’s world, it is a sign of a growing relationship. RFPs or scopes of work (SOW) written before the collaborative thinking and discovery (steps 1 through 3 above) will never fully capture what ultimately needs to be delivered. There will be a more refined project plan based on the discovery phase findings and results of user testing and feedback. It may be a more elaborate scope of work or, in some cases, a fundamentally different project altogether. In fact, it could even mean to not pursue the project at all — a shiver-inducing prospect for many agencies. “As part of the branding process, you reach several forks in the road where you need to select the right path. Sometimes, the best decision is to not move forward — or go in a completely different direction. It takes the right agency relationship and very competent people to choose it.” – Andrew Boyd, former CMO, Dimensional Insight The truth of the matter is that what is best for the client and their customers is best for the agency. If the scope is bigger, smaller, different, difficult, uncomfortable, exciting or, simply out of your wheelhouse, it is an opportunity for both the agency and client to continue to build a relationship based on trust. Often this re-scope will: Build a foundation for a long-term relationship Lead to a larger project Support new partnerships or extend the service offering 5. Propose Alternative Budgeting and Payments Introducing new models of collaborative, iterative cycles means that controlling costs can be very hard for both agencies and clients. Restricting hours in the discovery phase can end up costing far more in development when a feature is more difficult than originally thought. Budgets and pricing models can be adapted to the work effort. It is perfectly acceptable to have different models for each phase of the project. The most important issue is to discuss pricing and payment plans based on what is required for each phase — and acknowledge that one size or price does not fit all — and mixing the models for different phases of the engagement is actually appropriate. For example, discovery phase might use a consulting model while development is a fixed cost. For the agency and client relationship to improve, both sides must be open to a better way of working together. This relationship needs to be based on a stronger connection, transparency, and trust. It is imperative that agencies understand the client’s full business problems and are able to listen to and embrace the internal client hurdles while focusing on developing an external solution. It is important for clients to keep agencies continuously involved on the front line of the business where (if you are doing it right) the real magic happens.

What are the Hallmarks of a Reputable Digital Agency in 2020? In this day and age, marketing your business comes in many shapes and forms. Digital marketing is a field that continually pushes the boundaries of what is possible; with the tools available online, such as Social Media, PPC advertising, Content Marketing, SEO, and more. As a business owner, it can be difficult to keep track of all these tools; especially as they are constantly evolving and changing to meet the needs of digital users. This is precisely the reason why it is often better to delegate a business’s digital marketing tasks to agencies who have dedicated teams of experts and specialists who can efficiently execute and optimize these operations for your business. With that said, how do you determine which agencies are compatible with your business? How can you distinguish which ones are reputable and will deliver results, and which ones to avoid? In this article, we’ll be sharing some insights into the things to look out for when choosing digital marketing agencies to work within 2020. Transparency When looking for a partnership, a fundamental consideration is a transparency. It is also often the easiest to overlook when sorting through different agencies. There are however ways you can assess the agency’s transparency. Starting with the basic indicators: review their website and see where their base of operations are. Do they have a physical address for their office? An agency with a physical site will have much more credibility to their name, as well as accountability should you need to consult with them directly. While you’re on the website, review their team members and leadership. A reputable agency will confidently present their team members as well as the leadership structure. Other indicators include client list, social media channels, and price lists. If the above information feels obscure, then do yourself a favor, and skip the agency. Assess the credibility This goes in tandem with the point above. Credibility is an important element to look into before you partner up with any agency. You can evaluate their credibility in a number of ways. For example, you can read through their previous client’s testimonials to see how well they performed and if they delivered the results within their expectations. You can also evaluate their previous projects and portfolio, and assess if their output seems genuine to you. In 2020 especially, during a time when many businesses are hit hard by the coronavirus, how are they handling the situation? Because credibility doesn’t just refer to their professional work output, but also their integrity as a company. Are they complying with the latest health and safety standards? How are they adapting with the working conditions? Ask yourself these questions as you consider which agencies you want to partner with. Experience in the industry of your business Finally, another consideration for evaluating an agency to work with is to research whether or not they have experience in the industry of your business. Having experience in the industry of your business has several benefits for your business. For one, they’ll have insight on how other businesses operate and optimize their performance, which can be valuable should you need to consult with them with your own ideas. They will also have had the opportunity to problem-solve and tackle challenges that are specific to that type of industry. A reputable agency will be able to evaluate your current position in the industry, as well as your online presence and assess your competitors to formulate an effective strategy that will help facilitate your growth. To recap, make sure you keep in mind the points we listed above before you decide to delegate some of your business operations and partner with an agency. Also, it’s equally important to have a deep understanding of what your business needs are. Having this knowledge helps you ask the right questions to determine if their skills match the needs of your business.

Digital Agency-what is it? As a rule, when organizations want to make their brand more recognizable in the market and increase the number of sales, they turn to digital agencies. Because such agencies position themselves as a team of professionals who are able to develop websites, configure targeted advertising, as well as the context and create competent digital strategies for promoting the resource and building a brand reputation. Let’s get acquainted in more detail with this important position in the field of Information technology. Digital Agency-what is it Digital-Agency is a Studio engaged in certain types of activities in the field of information technology. The word “digital” is translated as “digital”. Accordingly, the full translation is a digital Agency. Agencies of this type specialize in: creating non-template sites with “clean” code, web design, further content filling, forming digital strategies, SEO optimization, SMM promotion, application development, increasing the reach of the target audience, analytical work, developing a sales funnel, forming “viral content” that becomes known through natural growth and reposting. Of course, this is not all the activities that a digital Agency can do. We have listed the most basic examples, and let’s look at some of them in more detail. What digital agencies do? Despite the fact that digital agencies provide various IT services for creating, promoting websites and increasing sales, many studios work in one or two directions. Because, this makes it possible to keep a small staff of employees and follow the news only in your industry, and not the entire IT world as a whole. However, our digital Agency Prostudio does not adhere to these views — we provide a comprehensive list of services. Let’s look at what digital agencies can do, using our example. Site development — we believe that in terms of site creation, the entire list of tasks should be taken over by one Agency. In other words, one Studio should be responsible for conducting preliminary analysis of the customer’s industry, prototyping, design, layout, and further testing. Otherwise, in the future, you may get a product that will not bring the desired result. First of all, this will happen because it may be difficult to transfer information about what the previous company did to the new contractor. Internet marketing — we are engaged in the formation of digital strategies, SEO optimization, SMM promotion, setting up various types of ads on the Internet, as well as analyzing the effectiveness of the results brought by marketing tools that were used during the promotion of the resource. Branding — when creating a new brand, first of all, you should pay attention to three important criteria: the name, elements of identity and brand positioning as a whole. As a rule, it is these elements that a potential client encounters first of all when getting acquainted with the company and its product. In other words, the development of a logo, corporate identity, naming, slogan, font, positioning-all this is aimed at making the client remember the nonsense of the organization selling its product or service. Apps — we develop apps for iOS and Android. We form the interface design, develop the ecosystem’s gaidlan and prototype of the product itself, as well as promote it. Outsourcing — in our IT company, outsourcing services include: technical support, training of company employees, implementation of CRM systems, maintenance of websites and applications, as well as setting up various servers. We’ve looked at what a digital Agency is and what it does. now let’s look at what a full-service digital Agency is. Digital Agency What is a full-service digital Agency? All digital studios are unique in their own way-there are both highly specialized and wide — profile ones. The main features of a full-cycle digital Agency are that it can perform all of the above tasks in a comprehensive manner. What we mean is that very often an IT company that provides a large list of various services is not able to perform the entire process “from and to”. For example, one Department initially develops a website, but it may be difficult to further promote it or create an adaptive application due to problems with delegating responsibilities, transferring information from the customer to the performer of a certain stage of work, and managerial qualities in General. From the outside, it may seem that there is nothing complicated in this, but this is an erroneous opinion, since many specialists participate in these processes, working exclusively to optimize the work of Agency employees. We know this from personal experience, since Prostudio is a full-service Agency. Such as, project Manager, project Manager, art Director, technical Director, senior developer, QA engineer and many others. This is the quality that distinguishes a full-service digital Agency — it provides a comprehensive list of services and can develop and promote a project from scratch, without resorting to the help of contractors. What is the difference between online marketing and digital marketing? Many customers confuse two terms that are similar in meaning: “marketing Agency” and “digital Agency”, but not completely identical. Let’s figure out what the differences are between them. Internet marketing is aimed directly at the online promotion of resources. In other words, any communication with buyers or potential customers takes place exclusively on the Internet or via cellular communication. The key difference between marketing companies is that they are aimed at working with the target audience of the client’s organization. That is, they are not engaged in increasing the brand’s loyalty and visibility. Digital marketing includes a more extensive list of services. In other words, in this area we are talking about various methods of promotion, sometimes going beyond the works on the Internet. For example, the development of banners with a QR code, then located on cars, connecting media in the news on TV, social surveys, offline promotions, and so on. Also, in some cases, digital marketing can work not only with the target audience of the customer’s company, but also with users who have similar interests and Hobbies, which can become buyers, if the digital strategy is properly developed. How to name and promote a digital advertising Agency in Internet marketing As you might have guessed, there are many types of advertising agencies: digital Agency; marketing agency; creative agency; art-studio; etc. However, the question is, how to promote them on the Internet? In fact, there are practically no differences from the promotion of any company or customer’s product. The operating principles are completely similar. Site development. If we are talking about a digital Studio, it is usually the creation of a corporate website or landing page. Creating a brand. Development of a digital strategy and further work to promote the resource. A very hackneyed phrase “whatever you name a ship, it will float”, but it is still relevant to this day. When you think about a name, you should consider and consider many details, such as: brand positioning, the list of services provided, your target audience, your potential audience, and your concept of customer communications. In fact, you can list quite a lot more, if you are really interested in exactly how to name your digital Agency, and then register a trademark, we recommend reading our articles about how the name of the Prostudio Agency appeared and how we registered the trademark. We have tried to provide brief and informative information about the distinctive features of our specific business. If you still have questions or have something to add on the material you read, please write to us in the comments, and we will definitely give you feedback.

Mess Phase 2 (2010–2016) Prelude: Making Mess 3.0 In 2010, we declared our independence from a holding company and moved into our current spot on the Wicker Park/West Town border at Division and Ashland. It served us real well- all the partners could walk to work, there was ample stuff like bars and restaurants around, and it was right next to a train and multiple bus lines. There was even a cute little grocery on the first floor. Things change. The grocery became an upscale sushi joint. Partners get married, buy cars, a house. The makeup of the business grows- we’re older, and drinking less. The neighborhood morphs into something barely recognizable, with corresponding annual rent increases to match. The business has grown at a steady 20% or so year over year. A producer turns into two, a production department. Projects turn into Accounts, which are starting to need Account Management. As our capabilities and portfolio grows, so does our desire to take a little more control over shaping our new business pipeline. This is going to require more people, more bodies in the office. An office with only one single stall restroom, and, thanks to the gigantic wall of apartments across the street, a conference room without workable wifi. It’s time to go. Oh, and since our website is real old and out of date, so we’re redoing that as well. Let’s just call it collectively “Mess 3.0” I’ll miss this place tremendously. We built it out ourselves, hauling plywood upstairs, testing ethernet cables, the whole place a labor of love. Hell, I brought my wife here to hangout on our very first date. So yeah, it’s sad to close this chapter, but man, I am really excited for what comes next. My plan with “Making Mess” is to publish a short series of articles about going from rough idea to working studio, with some thoughts and musings along the way. I hope you find it entertaining, or at least useful. Writing it is proving to be handy for me at least. Making Mess is a series of posts documenting the leveling up of Mess, a design and development firm I run with my partner and best friend Jack Shedd. We’re fortunate to have the help of a dozen really great people (plus a bow-tie wearing chihuahua named Rocky Balboa) and we’re determined to give them an awesome place to spend eight hours a day.
