Professional development is essential for getting ahead in the ever-evolving communications world, and one of the best ways to develop your skill set is by aligning yourself with a person you admire within your field.
"We get carried away with spreadsheets, schedules and the stuff that is modern work life, and we forget about our duties to one another," says Clay Cutchins, a mentor and creative strategist at Franklin Street, a Richmond, Virginia-based health care brand and marketing consultancy.

The Mission
Anne Lamott — the author of, among other books, Bird by Bird — once tweeted about the writing process: "How to write: Butt in chair. Start each day anywhere. Let yourself do it badly. Just take one passage at a time. Get butt back in chair."

According to one Common Sense Media report, on any given day, around 60 percent of teens use social media, spending an average of two hours on platforms such as Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Pew Research Center
Americans are more likely than ever to get news from multiple social media sites, according to a recent Pew Research Center report. About a quarter of all U.S. adults (26%) get news from two or more social media sites, up from 15% in 2013 and 18% in 2016. But there is considerable variation in the extent to which each site's news users get news from other sites, and which sites those are.

To get a sense of how rough things are for Snapchat, consider the Dancing Hot Dog. In June, the disappearing-messages app began letting users overlay their videos with a squat-legged cartoon wiener. It quickly became an internet sensation. Not that investors cared. On parent company Snap Inc.'s quarterly earnings call in August, Chief Executive Officer Evan Spiegel boasted that the break-dancing tube steak had been seen more than 1.5 billion times on Snapchat.

At CommLawBlog, we follow domain name issues closely. Unlike lightning, we find two recurring problems striking regularly. These problematic issues are: the failure to renew domain names and a continuing tendency to register valuable domain names in someone else's name.

Amazon is making good on its promise to eat advertising.

That's a slight increase from the growth rate in the prior second quarter, when it grew 53 percent year over year.

American Nurseryman
Though the 115th Congress doesn't have much of a record of accomplishment yet, hope springs eternal. And while September's Congressional calendar was destined to be dominated by debates over how to fund the federal government, raise the federal debt ceiling, sustain or suspend the so-called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, engage in meaningful tax reform, and whether or not to fund a "wall" (real or virtual) on our southern border, sooner or later Congress will have to move on to more routine matters.

When putting a garden to rest for the winter, it's best to include time spent thinking of ways to improve its soil for the following year's crop.
