River Instagram Tool Blog - Instagram search and engagement tips for brands When I started having fun with Instagram I didn’t know much.

The Kentucky Standard News, Sports, Entertainment and information for Bardstown, Kentucky By Don White Travis Wickline has always liked music, but it took him a while to tune into an appreciation for his surroundings. Now, he gets paid for singing the praises of his community. The lone assistant in the Powell County Tourism Commission office is so happy to be back home, he would probably work for free if he could. Sitting in the commission’s new office at Slade recently, the 32-year-old bachelor explains how his life has come full circle since graduating from Powell County High in 1995. The son of Stanton residents Bobby and Patricia Hamilton Wickline, a fourth-grade teacher at Clay City Elementary, Travis grew up taking piano lessons and played trumpet in the PCHS band. Not long after obtaining a bachelor of arts in general music from Eastern Kentucky University, he left his family’s picturesque 50-acre homestead and spent time in the Nashville-Clarksville, Tenn., area. “I wanted to do something that would make a difference in people’s lives,” he said.

Top Websites to Watch your Favorite TV Shows/Movies and Listen to Music for Free | dollarish The next month or two of work on Xanga 2.0 is going to be busy, so I wanted to share with everyone a roadmap of how we’re thinking about things! We’re dividing the work on this project into four basic phases. Phase 1. As described here, we’ve imported over every account that we have on Xanga over to the new system so that anyone who could sign into Xanga can still sign into Xanga 2.0. Finally and most important of all, we’ve imported over 2 million blogs from the old system. * We’ve archived the blogs of the hundreds of thousands of blogs where the user has logged in in the past 5 years and has at least two subscribers. * We did an additional set of archives for 200k users who had logged in the past year and had at least 10 blogs. * We’ve also archived the blogs of every single user that’s ever been premium at any point in the past… And of course, a lot of you guys archived your own blogs using the old Xanga archive generator. Phase 2. Phase 3. Phase 4.

Japanese Chef Rolls Out an Obama Sushi Platter Anything is possible, even with dull old sushi. At least that seems to be the mindset of Japanese sushi chef Ken Kawasumi, who has created an Obama dish consisting of Obama sushi rolls, the American flag tuna pieces and an eggy ‘V’ (for victory) slogan. The flag, adorned with the words ‘Yes You Can’, forms the center of the sushi platter. Obama rolls flank a ‘V’ sign at the top and the word ‘USA’ lines the bottom of the flag. The rest of the platter, consisting of various sushi assortments like ‘smiley’ rolls and car rolls, form an attention-grabbing border around this main piece. As for the individual pieces themselves, chef Kawasumi used various ingredients creatively in order to attain the best effect. Thus, in the Obama rolls, the skin is made of shrimp and the hair bits are made of black sesame. The flag was the painstaking effort of lining tuna bits with squid and the car pieces consist, in part, of cucumber and mountain burdock. Link ( 1 2 3 4 )
webris Before investing in content, you need to understand it I hate marketing buzzwords. “Growth hacking”. “Big data”. “Hyperlocal”. The one I hate most? “Content is king” [shudders in disgust]. It’s the most overused and misunderstood buzzword on the planet. This notion has led business owners to spend millions on content that provides no value to their target audience. In other words, wasting valuable resources on non valuable content. Content isn’t direct response marketing Don’t expect a skyrocket in sales because you wrote a good blog post. Content marketing is about having a presence and providing value where your audience hangs out. Honestly, I can’t even begin to tell you how valuable this can be to your business. It’s highly unlikely that your “buy now” promotions on Instagram, cold calling, purchased email blast, or banner ads drive sales. We live in the [over] information age. Look, I don’t like it anymore than you do.

"The most beautiful thing I've ever seen" - Roger Ebert's Journal When I began as a film critic, Jean-Luc Godard was widely thought to have reinvented the cinema with "Breathless" (1960). Now he is almost 80 and has made what is said to be his last film, and he's still at the job, reinventing. If only he had stopped while he was ahead. That would have been sometime in the 1970s. Maybe the 1980s. For sure, the 1990s. The thousands of seats in the Auditorium Debussy were jammed, and many were turned away.
