Zappa's Inferno
By Noë Gold
FRANK ZAPPA'S FULLY-EQUIPPED HOME RECORDING STUDIO is where he'd most rather be. "I never go out," he says, though his Laurel Canyon home commands a panoramic view of Los Angeles. "I could be just as happy if all this" - gesturing toward the array of equipment that surrounds him in this devil's advocate's workshop-"were in Utah. Except for the fact that the hardware and technicians are available in the L.A. area, and the stuff can be serviced here." The fact is, all Frank really wants to do is work.
Whether he acknowledges it or not, Zappa has been admired by guitarists for years because of the sheer free-flying gonzo-ness of his solos within the otherwise-precise organization of his compositions. He's always been a real Mother of a player. ...

The flower matures into a globe of fine filaments that are usually distributed by wind, carrying away the seed-containing achenes. This globe (receptacle) is called the "dandelion clock", and blowing it apart is a popular activity for children worldwide. In German it's called a Pusteblume, translated as "blow flower." The number of blows required to completely rid the clock of its seeds is deemed to be dependent on the time of day
Distributed Marketing systems, in the broader ecosystem of Marketing Resource Management, isn’t a simple shoe-in to solve for the challenges of decentralized marketing organizations. And perhaps especially due to the relatively young nature of the industry, both the technology, and the partner selected, need to be the proper fit to meet the challenges of such an organization head-on.
I thought about this while reading an article recently published by Adweek titled The Trouble with Back-Ends: Why Publishers can’t Publish on the Web.
The article highlights the high-probability of failure for Content Management System (or CMS) installations, even recounting a $20 million debacle at BusinessWeek that purportedly led to the publication’s financial demise. The giant takeaway from the article? There is no silver-bullet…..Every publisher has different needs for how they manage their content online.
Why do so many get it wrong? The lucky few were lucky….or they had enough foresight to think through all business requirements, and how the organization can grow with the platform to which they commit. For the unlucky? Over time, millions of dollars are invested – both in hard-costs and labor – which inevitably gets tossed aside once the white flag goes up.
So how can a decentralized marketing organization avoid the same pitfalls publications are making when choosing their CMS systems? There are a few key points that come to mind helping decision makers at decentralized marketing entities choose the proper distributed marketing partner.
Software versus Service – Does Your Partner Provide Both?
Perhaps the greatest point to look for in your partner: to what extent are they strictly a software company versus a marketing services company? How does your potential partner make a living? Let me explain why this is important.
Surely – no matter what type of company you look at, they must build, configure and maintain their own technology. The difference is software companies will license you their software (they make money on the software). A marketing services company, on the other hand, will provide you the software as a means to provide services to the field (they make money on the marketing services behind it).
All things the same…..which one is better? It depends.
Without a doubt, the number one rule in running a successful distributed marketing strategy to properly support decentralized marketing initiatives is putting people behind those initiatives. This includes strong Account Management (to be guiding forces of best practices through the use of software) and strong field customer service (knowledgeable experts on the phone to guide end-users of the software and preach local marketing best practices). Typically, a marketing services organization will provide much stronger Account Support when compared to a pure-play software company (whose Account support may be non-existent).
Large Fortune 100 enterprises may prefer the pure-software route because they want to operationally staff and manage the entire initiative – including the whole vendor marketing execution chain behind the system. On the other hand, organizations that feel it would be better served outsourced, or simply don’t have the resources to add another operational layer, often require strong account management.
We often like to quote a famous line from Field of Dreams – “If you build it, they will come.” In reality, nothing can be further from the truth. You need to push methods for strong field and user engagement behind the platform. Either way you slice it – the general rule of thumb is that without strong support (usually with a pure software install), a distributed marketing initiative will fail.
An Ad Builder? Or a Marketing Platform? Know the Difference.
Second rule. Whenever the onus is placed on the field to finish the marketing execution chain, it impacts adoption (negatively). We often refer to this as the “last-mile problem”.
What do we mean by this? Many companies represent that they have a marketing platform, but at the end of the day, all it really is is an Ad-Builder. The user builds an Ad (in whatever medium – e-mail, direct mail, social media, etc.), but then he/she is responsible for taking it the last mile…. to an e-mail system to send the e-mail, or a printer to mail the file, or a social media site to broadcast the message.
If your system can’t handle this in a turnkey manner, deflecting the responsibility to the field is a sure-fire way to decrease use of your marketing programs/materials and lead to a failed initiative.
Concentrate on Your Core Requirements, but Make sure you can Grow
In consideration to the above requirement, the honest feedback is that no one company has “all-areas” covered. You’ll also most likely need to take baby steps on how you launch your platform and corresponding services to the field. Its a marathon, not a sprint.
In marketing, we always love to focus on the buzz words of what’s hot. But what are your core requirements? What does your organization spend 80% of their time supporting, or what is the most difficult challenges you are facing with your field? By focusing there first, you are solving for problems that are immediate and most important, rather than getting jazzed up by a certain feature that may have little overall relevance in the beginnings of your system.
That being said, you also MUST explore your partner’s growth potential to ensure your future objectives are aligned with the product and service roadmap of your company of choice. In evaluating your partner, to what extent is their core focus squarely focused on solving the needs of decentralized marketing organizations? What is on their product roadmap, and to what extent do your opinions matter in developing this roadmap. Is this their core platform, or just an extension of their system outside their area of focus? Is development finished on the software platform, or are their continued IT resources improving the technology? What are these resources?
By not focusing on core requirements, and/or choosing a company not dedicated to solving the complex challenges for decentralized marketing initiatives, long-term viability of your solution is poor.
In conclusion – always remember……be forward thinking about the potential growth of your marketing intiatives. Where you will be two years down the line will be a lot different from today. Avoid the pitfalls of the CMS landscape by understanding who your partner really is – and their philosophies on helping you drive strategy to deliver valuable local marketing solutions for your network.

Joel Shpigel and Nick Braccia from Focus Express Mail Pharmacy lead the Haverford students to the finish line.
Focus Express Mail Pharmacy, a local on-line pharmacy provider, is waging war on Diabetes by pioneering a National Health Education Program called Peds for Prevention, where the company distributes grant monies, pedometers and educational health material to partnering school districts to help students avoid the risks of Diabetes. This effort is in conjunction with the National Pharmacists’ War on Diabetes during the month of April to educate consumers, patients, and healthcare professionals about prevention of diabetes.
Focus’ initial goal of the Peds for Prevention™ program is to provide grant monies to school systems to sustain necessary diabetes and health education programs to keeps students active. Focus committed approximately $25,000 in pedometers, educational materials, programs and grant monies Haverford School District.
This fun, educational and interactive program kicked off at all five Haverford School District Elementary Schools during the month of April, and the students held a contest to name their event “Stepping Out.” Students at each elementary school in the Haverford measured every step they took from April 1 through 23. This program was jointly sponsored by Focus Express Mail Pharmacy and the Haverford Township School District Education Foundation. Over 2,700 students, teachers, school administration and staff participated to help increase awareness of health issues, the risks of obesity and diabetes while raising money for the Haverford School District Education Foundation with every step they take.
“The Peds for Prevention™ program being implemented at these five elementary schools should serve as a catalyst for national improvements in the quality of health education for young children,” said Joel Shpigel, R.Ph., CEO and Co-Founder of Focus Express Mail Pharmacy.
“Stepping Out” participants received a free pedometer provided by Focus Express Mail Pharmacy to measure every step taken during the program. On the last day of the program (Saturday, April 26) an award ceremony was held where students took their final 500 steps together at the Haverford Middle School Track and Field along-side Denise Nakano from NBC 10 in Philadelphia.
In addition to the physical participation, the physical education teachers, the cafeteria staff and Focus worked hand-in-hand to provide the students with exercise programs, healthy food choices and weekly health tips coordinated to increase the power of knowledge for the young students. The themes for each weeks health awareness tips were: Be Active, Eat Healthy, Understanding Diabetes, How to Avoid the Risks of Diabetes. Students will also bring home educational materials on these topics to share with their families.
The program kicked off April 1st and students already have taken the lead to add steps to their daily routine by walking to and from school rather than taking the bus. One family joined the effort by purchasing additional pedometers for every family member so they could have a family competition.
To celebrate each student’s accomplishments, students were recognized for their contribution to the Foundation and most importantly their participation. Medals were awarded to top “steppers” in each grade level. A grand prize was awarded to each student, principal and teacher/school district employee who has taken the overall most steps.

The annual community outreach event has been a small gesture of the memorable impact troopers strive to make towards those they proudly serve and is reflective of their mindset to bridge the gap between those in uniform and communities that have minimal interaction with the New Jersey State Police.
While the winter weather is often unpredictable, one thing that remains certain is people needing winter coats to make it through the cold. Through their generosity and desire to help the greater community, the New Jersey State Troopers and their partners continue to help Elizabeth Public Schools students stay warm each year.

After the exchanging of the rings the bride gave the groom a drink of milk sweetened with honey and the groom gave the bride a drink of milk sweetened with honey. In muslim cultures the mouth is sweetened on celebrations and sweets are distributed also.
(Milk is undoubtedly a source of nourishment and much has been written about the health and healing benefits of honey, though science has only just started to understand the real crux of this matter. Milk and honey then signifies that God is the Nourisher and He is the one who will remedy all through his infinite mercy and forgiveness.
Milk and honey are mentioned several times in the Torah, Bible and Quran.
And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey: unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
-- Exodus 3: 8 (KJV)
Addressing Moses from the burning bush, Yahweh (God) announces his plan to bring Israel out of Egypt to 'a land flowing with milk and honey', God means Palestine, the land he promised to Abraham (Genesis 12) and again to Jacob (Genesis 28).
To the Jewish people 'the land of Milk and Honey' became the promise of deliverance (from the Pharoahs) to peace and security (Palestine) though in time it has been taken to mean Paradise also, perpetuating the belief that the Jewish people are 'the chosen ones' and only they will enter paradise. The Quran refutes this claim saying only those who choose to believe and follow the complete message of God (believing in all His books, angels and prophets) will enter paradise. As the Jews did not accept Jesus as a prophet, they are thought to have gone astray from the true message of God.
In the Quran 'Al Kauthar' is mentioned as a fountain in heaven from which the water flows as thick as milk and as sweet as honey. Al Kauthar means and signifies 'abundance' and is seen as a blessing and reminder of all that we have (in this world and the hereafter) to be grateful for).

Participants from Berea College, Howard University, Kennesaw State University, and Morehouse College spent the final week of June at the University of Michigan College of Engineering Robotics Department participating in the Distributed Teaching Collaborative Summer Session in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The program, which began with the new Robotics 101 course in Fall 2020 being remotely taught to Morehouse and Spelman College students, enables instructors from different institutions, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), to benefit from open-source resources available for new course development at R1 institutions. This collaboration provides students from HBCUs and MSIs with access to cutting-edge robotics education and helps promote equity in STEM fields.
In March of this year Robotics PhD student Jana Pavlasek and Professor Chad Jenkins were awarded the Claudia Joan Alexander Trailblazer Award for their work developing the new course for undergraduate students, Rob 102: Introduction to AI and Programming. Their commitment to creating opportunity in AI and Robotics continues to extend beyond the University of Michigan. In Fall 2023, Robotics 102 will be offered in this collaborative distributed format to the partner schools. This initiative will help to provide equitable opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds to learn and grow in the field of robotics.
