This clip, which I’ll be posting on our Saturday Opinion Extra page, is from a meeting we had this week with representatives of the Midlands Authority for Conventions, Sports & Tourism, which had come to talk to us about the new "Famously Hot" campaign.
Our lead editorial Sunday will be about the special challenge that faces this or any other attempt to market our capital city: The fragmentation of the local market. As you will see on this video, the marketers have decided that there’s only one way to sell the metropolitan area: as Columbia. They brush aside "Midlands" as being meaningless to potential visitors (although it’s in their name).
Can they get the other 18 municipalities, 2 counties, and multiple other jurisdictions to go along with that? They think they can. We’ll see. If they can’t, this effort won’t go far.

Gain a Few Inches by Sleeping Properly
Researchers say that the most common cause of a person’s stooped posture is due to not sleeping properly. If you think that sleeping only involves closing your eyes, having a relaxed and even breathing and clearing your mind, then you are wrong. Sleeping right means you have to relax your body in the right way.
Many people have grown up being used to certain luxuries in the bed like head pillows and hotdog pillows. Even kids are being given extra pillows to make them feel comfortable, not knowing that this can greatly affect posture.
People who want to gain a few inches know that they must correct their posture. Yoga, swimming and some stretching exercises can help improve posture, but the best way to do it is by sleeping in the proper position. If you sleep in an awkward position for eight hours a day, there would still be minimal improvement even with various posture-improving activities. One must enroll in growth enhancement programs and drink Growth Flex V Pro System. Go to http://www.growth-flex.com/ .
So how should you sleep right? First, get rid of any type of pillow that would make you want to twist and turn in your bed. Even head pillows must be removed because they put the head and the back into an inclined position which is very unnatural for them. Now lay down as straight as possible on your flat and firm bed, with arms on your sides. You don’t have to stretch or exert any other effort; just lie down. You can bend your arms if you like, just don’t twist or turn your legs and torso. Initially, this can be tough since you are not used to it, but with constant practice, you will be comfortable. Plus, your height will improve. More information available here at http://www.growth-flex.com/ .
