Fifa's second most-senior official arrested in graft probe
[MADRID] Police arrested the head of Spain's soccer federation, throwing the leadership of the sport in the World Cup-winning nation into disarray a year before the next round of the elite championship takes place in Russia.
Federation chairman Angel Maria Villar, 67, as well as three other people were arrested Tuesday, the Guardia Civil police force said in an emailed statement. The other detainees include one of Villar's sons, the federation's vice chairman for finance, who is also head of the Tenerife soccer federation, and the secretary of the Tenerife federation, according to the statement.
The probe into Villar, who is the second-highest ranking official in world soccer, brings fresh trauma for the sport in Spain seven years after the national side won the World Cup in South Africa.
Barcelona star Lionel Messi was handed a suspended 21-month jail term last year for unpaid taxes linked to image rights and Real Madrid player Cristiano Ronaldo also faces accusations he hasn't paid all that he owes in Spanish taxes.
The investigation, which started in early 2016, is looking at possible wrongdoing linked to the handling of funds from friendly matches organised for the Spanish national team, among other alleged crimes. Investigators allege that Villar's son benefited from commercial deals linked to the games, according to the statement.
Neither Villar or anyone else at the federation was immediately available for comment when contacted by phone. A Fifa spokeswoman referred comment back to the Spanish federation.
Police raided the federation's headquarters, the Tenerife federation and offices and private homes of the several suspects as part of the investigation ordered by a National Court judge.
Fifa Probe Villar, a former player who trained as a lawyer, has been chairman of the Spanish Federation since 1988 and also serves as vice president for the sport's European governing body Uefa. He's also a first vice president of the international governing body Fifa.
The arrest of Villar, one of the most senior officials in global soccer, is likely to renew scrutiny of Fifa, which is struggling to regain its reputation following the biggest corruption scandal in the organisation's history. Villar's status at Fifa places him just below its president, Gianni Infantino.
The Villar family's influence stretches beyond Europe. One of his sons, Gorka Villar, was a senior official at the sports governing body in South America, which saw its leadership decimated following the 2015 US indictment that alleged corruption dating back more than two decades.
Gorka Villar, who held the title of director general, last year left the group known as Conmebol.
Villar resisted an internal investigation into allegations of corruption into Fifa's decision to award the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, according to a report compiled by its former ethics investigator, Michael J Garcia, who is now a judge on the New York Court of Appeals.
The report outlines a testy conversation between Mr Garcia and Villar in which the Spaniard questions the investigator's authority.
"Only by listening to the audio record of the interview can the truly disturbing nature of Mr Villar Llona's conduct be fully appreciated," Mr Garcia wrote.

The regime ended up crossing the Euphrates at Mazlum, a little to the north of where I'd expected, and the Tiger Forces are pushing north, not south. No movement from the Kurds. It looks like Assad's goal is to deprive the Kurds of all of the oil fields, even the one northwest of Deir-as-Zor, which would require a second river crossing. I'm guessing that tomorrow we'll see the regime push from Mazlum to the adjacent Tabiyah oil fiels, and then probably north to cut the N-7. The result is total strategic failure for the Kurds.
Looks like ISIS is starting to collapse in Raqqa. I'm skeptical of the claims that the battle will end in a few days, but it definitely looks like it's entering its final stages.
Meanwhile, the Tiger Forces continue to resolutely ignore my predictions by pushing north from Deir-az-Zor. I'm not really sure what their objective is. There is a crossing at Halabiye, but it was blown up ages ago, and the Kurds can cross the river elsewhere if they want to. They could actually try taking Maadan, but it seems weird to focus on that when they need to cut off the Kurds from moving south. Maybe the regime is wary of relying on the Tiger Forces too heavily, and is giving other groups like the ISIS Hunters the chance to do something major for once.
Meanwhile, it looks like US and Kurdish forces have taken the first oil field. Good job, Assad. It's good to see you you know where your priorities are.
This map illustrates what I've been talking about lately in Syria. The Kurds are aggressively moving to capture as many oil fields as possible and to secure as much of the Khabur river as they can manage. (The Khabur is the little one going south, the other one is the Euphrates.) Meanwhile, Assad is sending his best troops off to secure some random farmland.

BEIJING, Aug. 18 (Xinhua) -- The Communist Party of China (CPC) will conduct the first assessment of the ongoing education campaign themed "staying true to our founding mission", according to a circular issued by the campaign's leading group.
Calling carrying out assessments an important means to summarize the experience and test the effectiveness of the campaign, the circular stressed that the effectiveness in solving practical problems will be taken as a criterion to ensure that the evaluation results of the campaign are objective and true.
The appraisal work, to be organized by central guiding groups for the campaign and the circuit guiding groups in provincial-level regions and various sectors, will cover various areas, including study and education, investigation and research, as well as inspection and rectification of problems.
The campaign, to be carried out nationwide among all CPC members, was launched on May 31. The CPC's original aspiration and mission is to seek happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation.

In the aftermath of Chester Bennington's unexpected and tragic passing, Linkin Park co-founder Mike Shinoda sought refuge in music. He's spent the last few months hunkered down in his Los Angeles home, writing and recording songs. Three of those tracks were released back in January on his Post Traumatic EP. Now, Shinoda has announced plans for a full-length album.
Due out June 15th, the album is also titled Post Traumatic and features 16 new songs. To coincide with today's announcement, Shinoda is streaming two of those tracks, "Crossing A Line" and "Nothing Makes Sense Anymore". He's also revealed videos for both tracks, which you can see below. The tracks from the Post Traumatic EP also appear on the album.
Per a press release:
"Following the EP release, Shinoda continued to create, and the result is the upcoming Post Traumatic, a transparent and intensely personal album that, despite its title, isn't entirely about grief, though it does start there. 'It's a journey out of grief and darkness, not into grief and darkness,' Shinoda says. Ultimately, Post Traumatic is an album about healing. The songs, though specific about Shinoda's experience with loss, manage to be universally relatable, thanks to their honesty and heart. 'If people have been through something similar, I hope they feel less alone,' he says. 'If they haven't been through this, I hope they feel grateful.'
Shinoda will perform a handful of solo shows this summer, starting with a headlining appearance at the third annual IDENTITY LA: A Celebration & Concert for Asian Pacific American Heritage Month in Los Angeles on May 12th. He's also confirmed to appear at the UK's Reading and Leeds Festivals and the Summer Sonic Festival in Japan in August. Further dates will be announced shortly.

Dramatic increases in human populations and per capita consumption, climate change, overexploitation of marine and freshwater resources, and deforestation have caused a litany of negative consequences for biodiversity. Such doom-and-gloom scenarios are widely known, frequently cited and frankly depressing. Although accurate assessments of threats have clear value for intervention planning, we believe there is also a need to reflect on successes. Such reflection provides balance to negative scenarios and may shift attention towards constructive, positive action. Here we use a systematic evaluation of 90 success stories provided by conservation scientists and practitioners to explore the characteristics of the projects perceived as being associated with success. Success was deemed to have occurred for 19.4% of the projects simply because an event had occurred (e.g. a law was passed) and for 36.1% of projects quantitative data indicated success (e.g. censuses demonstrated population increase). However, for most projects (63.9%) there was no evaluation and success was defined by the subjective opinion of the respondent. Conservation community members viewed successful projects most often as those being long-term (88%), small in spatial scale (52%), with a relatively low budget (68%), and involving a protectionist approach alone or in combination with another approach. These results highlight the subjectivity of definitions of success in conservation but also the characteristics of conservation efforts that the conservation community perceives as indicative of success.
Impoverished communities often turn to illegal extraction of resources from protected areas to alleviate economic pressures or to make monetary gains. Such practices can cause ecological damage and threaten animal populations. These communities also often face a high disease burden and typically do not have access to affordable health care. Here we argue that these two seemingly separate challenges may have a common solution. In particular, providing health care to communities adjacent to protected areas may be an efficient and effective way to reduce the disease burden while also improving local perceptions about protected areas, potentially reducing illegal extraction. We present a case study of a health centre on the edge of Kibale National Park, Uganda. The centre has provided care to c. 7,200 people since 2008 and its outreach programme extends to c. 4,500 schoolchildren each year. Contrasting the provision of health care to other means of improving community perceptions of protected areas suggests that health clinics have potential as a conservation tool in some situations and should be considered in future efforts to manage protected areas.
In the not-too-distant past, infectious disease was viewed as akin to fire, earthquake, and tornado in its propensity to impact wild primates. Outbreaks were considered inherently unpredictable, "sweeping through" primate populations, wreaking havoc, and then subsiding. Primates were generally thought to rebound, such that the overall effect was a "blip on the radar," a transient reduction in population numbers.
The last approximately 10 years have demonstrated the "disease as natural disaster" paradigm to be woefully inaccurate. Infectious disease has emerged as a major threat to primate conservation. The case of Ebola virus and its devastating effects on chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and gorillas (Gorilla gorilla) in Gabon and Congo is perhaps the most dramatic example, with some estimates of local population declines above 80% (Leroy et al., 2004; Bermejo et al., 2006). Other pathogens such as Bacillus anthracis (the causative agent of anthrax), polio virus, and yellow fever virus have also caused epidemic mortality in apes and monkeys, to the extent that they are now seen as important drivers of primate population declines (Chapman et al., 2005; Leendertz et al., 2006; Nunn and Altizer, 2006).
Despite these dramatic examples, the majority of primate pathogens probably exert chronic, sublethal effects on primates in the wild (most parasitic protozoa, helminths, and arthropods probably fall into this category). Although researchers are paying increasing attention to such agents, most studies to date have been either "prevalence surveys" or comparisons of prevalence across locations or habitat types.

have older pc with usb 1.0
want to buy an external dvd drive with a usb 2.0 connection.
will i be able to use this with my pc?
are the connector plugs the same?
Yes it will work as the USB 2.0 should be backwards compatible, meaning that it will work on a USB 1.0 system but only at the speed of the USB 1.0 which might be rather slow, but it should definitely work and yes the plugs are the same.
Although, as you say the system is old, the speed of the USB might not be your problem. Will you have enough memory/hard drive to run the software (if there is any)?


text: All prices in this post are listed in Australian dollars. 1. Australis Match Maker Shade Adjusting Drops Caitlin Jinks / BuzzFeed Because I have little-to-no makeup knowledge, I've been known to just walk into a store and buy whatever looks like it ~might~ match my skin tone. That's how I ended up with a foundation that's way too dark for me. These shade adjusting drops are $19.95 and come in lightening and darkening formulas. The lightening drops are super thick and white but they don't have any kind of scent and blended perfectly with my foundation. They worked! Now I can turn all of my poorly chosen foundations into colours that actually match.–Caitlin 2. Revlon Sculpt and Highlight Contour Kit in Light/Medium Michelle Rennex / BuzzFeed As someone whose face is pretty much an exact replica of the moon emoji, I NEED contouring in my life. Normally when I contour, I use a concealer that's a few shades darker than my skin colour, and on special occasions I might whip out a contouring palette. I often find contouring powders hard to blend. A lot of the time they end up looking muddy on my skin. This $24.95 palette, which was co-developed with blogger Chloe Morello, was surprisingly easy to blend. The banana powder was brightening and the highlight was subtle but still gave a really nice glow. –Michelle 3. Lush Sleepy Body Lotion Gyan Yankovich / BuzzFeed Next to my bed I have a small vial of lavender oil. Most nights I will add a few drops of oil to a tissue, which I slide into my pillowcase. It smells great and helps me sleep.As soon as I saw this product, I knew I would love it, especially when I saw cocoa butter and jojoba oil joining lavender oil on the ingredients list. Like all Lush products, this $16.50 lotion has a strong smell. It's super buttery and melts into the skin, so it's a perfect thick lotion to apply to dry skin before bed. Really, the soothing scent is just an added bonus.–Gyan 4. Silver Bullet Hybrid Ionic Ceramic Straightening Brush Michelle Rennex / BuzzFeed My natural hair is weird. Some days it dries semi-straight, other days it's super curly, but unfortunately the one thing it always is: frizzy. I've heard a lot of things about hair straightening brushes but reviews always seem to be hit or miss, so I didn't know what to think. This brush costs $99.95 and the instructions suggest that you use it when your hair is dry and clean. To my surprise, the brush actually worked! And the best part of all was that it only took six minutes to get my hair straight, which is perfect for someone like me who is late to literally everything.–Michelle 5. Batiste Floral Essences Dry Shampoo Jemima Skelley / BuzzFeed As someone who is lazy and tries to only wash my hair once or twice a week, I'm a big, big fan of dry shampoo. It's especially good in summer when 50% of the time I'm a sweaty mess. Usually I just go for the original scent because nothing beats the OG, right? Well, after trying this floral version, I might be converted. It's $9.95 and cleans my hair just as well as the original one, but also adds a really nice smell to it. While having flower-scented hair mightn't be my number one priority, it's a very nice touch. This would be good to use in the morning if I'm going straight from the gym to work and don't want to carry around perfume AND dry shampoo.–Jemima 6. Mecca Cosmetica Sunbrella Invisible Superspray SPF50+ Gyan Yankovich / BuzzFeed My sun-protection routine is one of the most concrete aspects of my day-to-day life. Each morning I apply SPF50 to my face, neck, and hands, plus my arms if they're exposed. For years (I am not even kidding) I've been wishing for a spray sunscreen I could apply over my makeup. I'd heard whispers that such products were available overseas but until recently, nothing like this has been available in Australia.I've heard great things about Mecca sunscreens from so many people. At $42, this costs more than I would normally spend on sunscreen but I won't go through this product as much as I do my normal SPF. I plan on keeping this spray at my desk for pre-lunch break touch ups. I was a little nervous that the spray would leave my face very shiny, but would you believe that it doesn't at all?! It also smells great. My dreams have well and truly been answered. –Gyan Some of the products in this post were provided to BuzzFeed free of charge for review.

BUFFALO, N.Y. – SUNY Geneseo sophomore forward David Szmyd scored in the final minute of the first period, but it was host Buffalo State coming back to earn a 1-1 tie with the No. 8/9 Knights, Friday, in State University of New York Athletic Conference men's ice hockey action.

- Buffalo State evened the score with 2:23 left in the second after Ryan Stayner buried a shot inside the left post off a save that rebounded off the pads of Knights junior goalie Devin McDonald.
- Geneseo killed off a five-minute major penalty with just under eight minutes remaining in the third period while Buffalo State also survived a major penalty call that lasted 1:51 into overtime.
- McDonald totaled 27 saves, including five in overtime, to preserve the tie.
- Geneseo finished with a 31-28 advantage in shots as Buffalo State goalie Ian Sylves finished with 30 stops.

Would You Like Boiler Finance?Posted in Latest News on October 26, 2018
Having a new boiler can be a bit of a pain. It is perceived as a lot of money and along with all other household expenses, having a replacement boiler is often something that is put off; until something breaks down and you have no heating! That is when it becomes an emergency. So our offer to you is "Would you like boiler finance?"
Boiler Finance is a really effective option for many of our customers. You can pay as much deposit as you would like and then put the rest on finance, whatever is easier for you. This then frees up the money you were perhaps saving towards the new boiler installation, to spend on something else.
So what sort of figures are you looking at? Well the options are entirely up to you and below are a couple of examples. Please bear in mind, these are just a couple of ideas, ranging from 10 months right up to 10 years. So if you would like to establish a different timescale for repayments, then please just ask when you make your enquiry.
Interest Free Finance over 10 Months
Boiler Price of £2,250
Deposit payment of £1,200
Loan amount of £1,050
10 monthly payments of £105
Finance over 10 years
Boiler Price of £2,250
Deposit payment of £1,200
Loan amount of £1,050
120 monthly payments of £13.58
So don't put it off. If you can be paying less than £14 per month, then what are you waiting for? Talk to our boiler finance experts at Greener Plumbing and Heating and between us, we will be able to agree a payment plan that won't break the bank. It will however, give you a new efficient boiler that will save you money on your heating bills, as well as giving you an efficiently running boiler than will last for many years to come.
At present our boiler finance is just for Worcester Bosch boilers. However being a Silver Accredited Dealer, we are happy to recommend these to our customers.
Either send us an enquiry or give us a call on 01435 868988. We look forward to chatting through some figures with you.

text: Morte Lake Trail There is no cellphone reception along this trail except in a stretch along the east shore of the lake where the trail rises to its highest point above the lake. Other parts of the trail may give cell coverage if you climb up off the trail for 100 – 600 meters uphill. To access the Morte Lake Trail drive north from Heriot Bay for ten minutes to the Walcan Road which runs off on the left and is signposted with the blue Walcan sign. The Walcan Road is a dirt road but has heavy trucks and considerable traffic using it at times. After turning down the Walcan Road drive for about a kilometer until you see the sign saying 'Morte Lake Trail' on your right, as in photo below. Below: The entry to the Morte Lake Trail carpark off the Walcan Road Turn into the car-park and park your car here. The trail begins here and takes you up a gentle gradient along an old logging track. Above, the trails sign in the Morte Lake Parking Lot. After five minutes or so you will pass a side-trail going up to the right and this short trail climbs steeply and goes to the Beeches Mountain Trail and to the Chinese Mountains Trail car-park. The Morte Lake Trail continues on past this turnoff and takes about 45 minutes from its car-park to the lake. Near the lake the trail forks left and right, and either branch will take you around the lake and back to that fork, then back to your car via the trail you came in on. From that fork you can see the lake and if you take the right branch of the trail it will take you quickly down to a sandy beach, popular with swimmers, picnickers, and campers. At the far end of the lake is a picnic table and campsite, also popular with swimmers and campers. There are a few uphill and downhill sections along this trail but nothing very steep or very long. It is a popular trail for mountain-bikers, and leaving the main trail are a few side-trails made specifically for rugged biking. One of the beautiful bays around the shore of Morte Lake The lake setting is serene and the Morte Lake Trail is one of the most popular trails on Quadra. People of all ages walk this trail, from all over the world, even if only to the lake and back and not the circuit of the lake. The average person can can walk from car-park to the lake in 40 minutes, and then around the lake in an hour-and-a-half more, then back to the car in a further 40 minutes, making it a good three-hour hike. A fit hiker under 65 can walk to the lake, walk around the circuit and back to the car-park in two hours. At the northwest shore of the lake the Mud Lake Trail joins the main trail. The Mud Lake Trail will take you back to the Walcan Road to a point about five minutes' walk east along the road from your car in the Morte Lake Trail carpark. As you walk along the western shore of Morte Lake you will probably want to sidetrack and hike the signposted short lookout side-trail. There are small trout and beaver in Morte Lake, and varied waterfowl may be seen here. At night here, don't be surprised to hear wolves howling, especially during winter when fewer people are around the lake. There is also a rear entrance to this trail on the western edge of the lake, and this involves driving a few kilometers past the Morte Lake Trail carpark, past Mud Lake, and taking the first turnoff on the right, at the quarry. Drive down the logging road until you reach a side-road on your right. signposted 'Q-80′. Take this road and then take the third road on the right off Q-80. This road is signposted "To Morte Lake'. Within a half kilometer this rough road ends at a locked steel gate. Park about 100 meters back from this gate. Walk around the gate and the lake is another five minutes' walk down this old road. Quadra Island trails volunteers building a new bridge on the Morte Lake Trail. There is a picnic table at the far side (north side) of Morte Lake, where people camp out and go swimming. There is also a good camping (sandy) beach in the southeast corner of the lake, near where the trail forks to go around each side of the lake, as mentioned above. Here a group of trails volunteers take a lunch-break while working on the Morte Lake Trail At the far side of the lake is a side-trail which takes you to Maude Island, beside Seymour Narrows. Another side-trail takes you to Mud Lake and the Walcan Road. Near the Morte Lake car-park is another side-trail off the Morte Lake Trail which takes you to the Beeches Mountain Trail and to the Chinese Mountains Trail car-park. One of the pretty bays around the lake Alternate ways to Morte Lake You can also get to the northwest shore of Morte Lake via a 5-minute walk after driving up logging roads at the rear of the lake. This route into the lake is also dealt with on the Maude Island Trail page on this website. This alternative and shorter access to Morte Lake can be found if you drive along the Walcan Road and go past the Morte Lake car-park and then past Mud Lake on the right, and, after a kilometer or so, turn right down the first logging road on the right, which turns off the main road opposite a large quarry and begins to go downhill. Continue driving down this logging road until you come to a side road on your right which is sign-posted 'Q 80', at GPS point N50, 7.879′, W125, 19.280′ Turn right here and follow Q 80 past two small roads going off to the right, and the third turnoff to the right is the turnoff to Morte Lake and is flagged with tape or morker. There is a third trail you can use get to Morte Lake. This trail (the Mud Lake Trail) goes off the Walcan Road about 10 minutes' walk west past the Morte Lake Trail carpark. This is the Mud Lake Trail to Morte Lake and it takes you past Mud Lake and into the back of Morte Lake and there joins the Morte Lake Trail. Below shows the beginning of the Mud Lake Trail to Morte Lake, from the Walcan Road, and this trail takes about 50 minutes to hike to Morte Lake. You can then hike back to this spot via the Morte Lake Trail and the road, thus hiking a loop. There used to be plenty of beavers in Mud Lake, and you may see one or two if you look closely as you hike.

From modest beginnings in the basement of his house in Marblehead in the early 1950's, Ted Hood developed not only fast, durable sails, but invented the machinery to make the cloth that he used to make these sails. In true Yankee fashion, Hood also wanted value in his purchases and so did the local sailors who were his first customers. Today, HOOD Sailmakers continues Ted's tradition of designing, engineering and building sails that offer the best VALUE around the world.

Every day this year, I will be examining the artwork on a single comic book story. Today's artist is Barry Windsor-Smith, and the issue is Uncanny X-Men #205, which was published by Marvel and is cover dated May 1986. Enjoy!
Back when I was first getting into comics, my best friend let me read a bunch of his X-Men comics, and it's there I first saw Windsor-Smith's art. I'm not sure if it was this issue or "Lifedeath" or even "Lifedeath II," but it was one of them (in fact, I may have read them all at once, so I probably saw them all fairly close together). So this is one of the earliest X-Men comics I ever read, and it remains one of my favorites. When I was writing about Marc Silvestri, I mentioned that issue #255 is one of my favorites, and this one is up there as well. When I first read it, I had no idea who Katie Power was, who Reese and Macon and Cole were, or who Lady Deathstrike was (honestly, for the longest time I had no idea what Yuriko's connection to Wolverine was, and I still forget the specifics - her dad invented the adamantium bonding process, is that right?), but it simply didn't matter, because this is Claremont doing what he does extremely well, and it's Windsor-Smith absolutely destroying it on art. So let's take a look!
A few days ago, I showed an early example of Windsor-Smith drawing circuitry, and here's an example from the more mature Windsor-Smith (he drew a Machine Man mini-series a few years before this, and the one issue I own doesn't even show this much machinery). Windsor-Smith makes Yuriko's transformation horrifying, much like he would with Logan's years later, as he draws in every wire and circuit and patch on her body. He makes the goop she steps into viscous and tactile, so that it looks less like a liquid and more like tentacles reaching for her. He draws in slime on that black contraption in Panel 2, which makes it look even more like a monstrous womb than it already does, and he gets away with nudity because it's a piece of circuitry where a nipple would be, as we all know that computers melding with human flesh is much less disturbing than something that nurtures newborns. Windsor-Smith thinks about where the wires would go and even adds a telephone wire to her head, which seems plausible in the mid-1980s but looks horrifying. I love that he draws Spiral's cloak with very little interior line work, as it creates this solid block, uncorrupted by the sickening display around it. Spiral is just doing a job, man! Windsor-Smith colored this, too, and he uses his entire bright palette to make Yuriko even more computerized than ever. I also love that a thick wire extends from her eye and droops down in Panel 3. With her realization that she has become more machine than human, I like to think that Windsor-Smith meant this to be a tear but that she's incapable of weeping anymore, so only wires stream from her eye sockets. That's a good idea, isn't it?
This panel is essentially pointless, as all it does it let us know that we're in New York. Wait, a Marvel comic set in New York? Quelle surprise! Claremont, being Claremont, loads up the internal narration, but he and Orzechowski are nice enough to put it at the top, so we can look at the utter insanity Windsor-Smith brings to what could have easily been a throwaway drawing. He puts Christmas decorations at the top of the panel, which provides a nice border, then gives us a beautifully intricate street scene. The buildings are inked heavily, as Windsor-Smith spots blacks to create a wintry twilight, and then he uses warm colors to cut through the black and the cool blue. He even remembers to illuminate the sidewalk where the lights from inside the stores shine through, as well as the sides of the figures that face the store fronts. Even in the background, we get amazing details, as he places rough figures around the street lamp while inking in the shadows on the buildings even deeper in the back. He remembers to carve furrows in the snow on the street, as cars have been driving on it all day. This is really a tremendous drawing, and it's not even all that necessary.
Yuriko and the Reavers (I don't think they were called Reavers back then, but "dudes who used to be guards at the Hellfire Club before Wolverine carved them up and left them for dead, only for them to return when Donald Pierce turned them into cyborgs" is really long and I don't feel like typing it more than once) have beaten Wolverine so badly that he doesn't remember who he is and can't even talk, so Katie Power does a lot of the talking in the early part of this issue. Can you imagine this kind of story today? Claremont begins this in the middle of the fight, and we don't even get to see how Yuriko and her crew got the drop on Logan and beat him that badly. Claremont doesn't need to show us to establish that they're tough - just showing Wolverine reduced to an animal is enough. Today, we'd get a three-issue mini-series about how Yuriko tracked Wolverine, which would lead into a five-issue EVENT! mini-series about how she beat the shit out of him, and then, and only then, would we get a five-issue mini-series called Logan's Revenge in which he heals, turns the table on them, and Katie kills Macon, Cole, and Reese with her energy rays and Yuriko and Logan fight for two straight issues. Yeah, and get off my lawn, you dang kids.
Where was I? Oh, yeah, this awesome issue. Windsor-Smith drew in every glob of snow (I assume he drew them), which had to drive him insane, as this entire issue takes place in a blizzard. It's a great idea - it obscures a lot of the figures so they can sneak up on other characters, but because it takes place outside, no one is confined by walls - and Windsor-Smith really makes it work with the driving snow in almost every panel. I love his Logan - his hair isn't too ridiculous, like a lot of other artists would make it, and he's covered with hair, which all artists do, but in this story, it seems to make him more feral, probably because of the way Windsor-Smith draws him crouching a lot. Panel 2 is excellent, because at this time, we rarely saw the way Wolverine's claws came out of the skin, but Windsor-Smith draws them almost like veins. It's terrifically creepy. Windsor-Smith uses the snow to move us across the page, too, as we see in Panel 3 when it drives us to the right. He also uses it to obscure bodies, which then makes his blacks and colors stand out - the police in Panels 5 and 6 don't even look drawn in, they look like Windsor-Smith just painted in their bodies. As usual, the line work is exquisite and very busy, but for a good reason - the hatching in Panel 6, for instance, makes Wolverine look roughed up (which he is) and the snow dirtier and more wind-blown (which is might be). Plus, there's the Mature Windsor-Smith Face on Katie - small eyes in a wide face, with no cheekbones and a wide jaw line. That's just how he does it!
Every page of this comic is tremendous, but this sequence is really nice. As I noted, the snow allows Windsor-Smith to move his characters around a lot, but it also makes the setting claustrophobic, as no one can see too far in front of them and nobody knows where to go for safety. Windsor-Smith uses this very well, as figures emerge from the snow, and it's unclear if they're good or bad - Panels 3 and 8 of the first page shows the Reavers approaching, but in between, a taxi appears, promising safety (but only very temporarily). The claustrophobia is great, too, as Logan and Katie are trapped in the taxi when the Reavers attack, and they have to leave quickly. Windsor-Smith's continuing use of large snow flakes and thick, long lines also makes the scene feel more closed-in, as the weather surrounds Logan and Katie as much as the Reavers and Deathstrike do. Windsor-Smith, like so many other artists of a bygone era, uses a lot of panels per page, which automatically makes things more cramped, adding to the claustrophobia. Windsor-Smith, of course, is amazing with details, so we get the wonderful thick black lines on the door in Panel 2 of the second page when Wolverine punches through it, which makes it look beautifully crumpled, while he does a nice job mixing the glass shards with the snow. The Reaver's gun in Panel 4 of that page is probably a bit busy, but still menacing-looking. Windsor-Smith's colors are excellent, too. As we saw above, he gets rid of some of the holding lines in places and replaces them with colors, so we get the taxi exploding on the second page, where Windsor-Smith uses the oranges and yellows to create an intense fiery spot without using lines. It's neat, and it shows what an artist can do when he or she colors their own work.
Wolverine regains his mind and tells Katie that she needs to close her eyes because there's gonna be some killin' (well, he tells her to trust him, as we see here, but later, we find out that means closing her eyes). Windsor-Smith again gives Katie the classic face, and he does a really nice job with Katie's fear in Panel 4, as she's not sure what Logan is going to do. He quirks her mouth a little, because she's unsure what Logan is going to ask her to do, and Windsor-Smith raises her eyebrows a little and widens her eyes slightly as she anticipates the next instructions. Notice how Windsor-Smith lays out the page - the top four panels form a nice square (well, rectangle, but it's close to being a square), with standard gutters and standard points of view. Then, when Wolverine shifts into killing mode, Windsor-Smith changes the panels to more vertical ones with no gutters, cramming the action closer together and speeding up the pace. The central image of Wolverine skewering Cole anchors the bottom row, as we lead up to it and then see the reactions to it, and while Windsor-Smith was one of those artists who went a bit crazy with Logan's claws (man, they're long), that's an impressive panel in the middle of an impressive sequence. The details, naturally, are amazing, and Windsor-Smith knows where to focus to build the tension - we get the longer view of Logan underneath the planks, then a close-up of his claws, then a close-up on Cole as he's about to be attacked, and then a medium-long view of Wolverine attacking. The time-honored use of silhouettes to show blood is a good way to go, not only because it makes it less gory but because of the surroundings - Windsor-Smith has already established that it's night, so the darkness makes sense. The final two panels work well to isolate the bad guys - we know they're not near each other, but just the fact that Windsor-Smith puts them in small "cages" of the panel borders makes it clear that they had their chance, and they're about to become the hunted. Claremont explicitly states that, but Windsor-Smith does as good a job showing it as Claremont's words do.
Six months ago (man, six months already?), I featured Paul Smith's rendition of Wolverine's fight with Silver Samurai, and now I'm showing another one! Much like Smith's fight, Windsor-Smith uses "widescreen" panels, probably because it's just two people facing each other, and the longer view allows us to see both of them move. As violent as Smith's depiction of the fight is, his thin lines means it's a bit more graceful, while Windsor-Smith's thicker lines make this fight a bit more brutal. Wolverine, of course, isn't wearing a shirt, which means Windsor-Smith can show his rugged torso and back, while Yuriko's claws are far less elegant than Silver Samurai's sword - Windsor-Smith makes them rough and a bit knobby. Windsor-Smith's inking really works well here, as he uses blacks to show blood so he can get away with a bit more, but even more than that, both Logan and Yuriko just look like they've been utterly beaten up. As Logan gains the upper hand, Windsor-Smith does some nice work to get around whatever censors may have been watching - in Panel 2 of the third page, he rips out Yuriko's telephone cord, and because Windsor-Smith earlier colored it red, it looks like blood spray even though it's a cord. In Panel 3, it appears that Logan has ripped her chest opened, as Windsor-Smith draws what appear to be ribs jutting upward, but because of the way he designed Yuriko's outfit, he could easily claim it's her shredded tunic. Windsor-Smith also kills it on the faces of the figures, as neither Wolverine nor Deathstrike is in optimal condition, and their faces reflect their anguish. In Panel 4 of the first page, we see Logan's pained expression as Yuriko swipes him on the chin. In Panel 3 of the second page, Logan looks pained as he attacks, as he's trying to keep it together before he collapses and he's also struggling to answer her charges. Of course, the final panel of the sequence, where we get the close-up of Wolverine, is terrific - Windsor-Smith draws him spitting blood with bared teeth and crazy eyes. Claremont, surprisingly, gives us a completely silent page, which means he resists telling us that Logan is under the influence of some blind rage (as he often does - "the man has become the ANIMAL!!!!" and shit like that) and leaves it to Windsor-Smith, who responds wonderfully. For someone with a relatively thick line and a tendency to draw bulky figures, Windsor-Smith remains wonderful at drawing fluid action scenes - this one flow wonderfully over three pages, as we can see each parry and thrust and counter. The two figures are posed very well, with the right amount of curviness in their bodies as they move around each other. This, like the Smith fight in issue #173, is just amazing. It's part of why Wolverine became such a popular character.
After a page of chatting, Logan walks away on this famous page, which isn't as much an example of great art as it is just an example of bad-assery. I've opined before that Claremont's writing seems better when he has a good artist drawing him, which is why good comics are about two-thirds to three-quarters due to artwork (you know it's true!), and this is an example of it. You cannot tell me that this page would work better with the exact same dialogue if June Brigman, who drew issue #204, drew this. I don't have a big problem with Brigman, but she's not in the same league as Windsor-Smith! Windsor-Smith still does a fine job with this - he draws Yuriko really well in Panel 1, as she looks up at Logan pathetically as he lectures her. Again, we see the rough inks that make her look brutalized (which she has been, except it's self-inflicted), and the wonderfully detailed wiring that shows both sides of Spiral's workmanship - it obviously works, but it also looks a bit slapdash. We also get the roughly inked Wolverine, who has been through hell and come out the other side, and Windsor-Smith does a great job with Claremont's script here, as he puts Yuriko's hand reaching plaintively for Logan in Panel 4 as he retracts his claws. What a great moment. Damn, Claremont was cooking on this issue.
While Claremont is good in this issue, Windsor-Smith was tremendous, and while I thought about showing issue #214 because it stars Dazzler, this issue is so kick-ass I just had to feature it. So tomorrow we'll move on from the 1980s and finish with something Windsor-Smith really wanted to do for a long time. Is it "Weapon X"? Well, you'll just have to wait and see, won't you?

It's 7am and Ruth Davidson is taking the fish wars to the SNP in the noisy Peterhead market.
Although most voters are only waking up, the largest daily white fish auction in Europe is in full swing – and so is the Scottish Conservatives' leader.
Davidson is firing off soundbites faster than the merchants can bid for boxes of coley, all the while posing for her trademark, eye-catching photo opportunities.
Across the north-east, the Conservatives are wooing Brexit-supporting fishermen into their nets with the promise that only Theresa May can deliver a good deal from Europe.
Banff and Buchan is home to the UK's biggest fishing fleet. It is also Scotland's Brexit corner.
When the referendum votes were weighed up, this was a constituency that definitely voted to leave Europe.
The reason is simple – the hated Common Fisheries Policy.
Fishermen on the coast – and farming communities inland – feel control over their livelihood and industries have been ceded to foreign powers for the last 40 years.
The place has been an SNP stronghold since Alex Salmond snatched the seat from the late "Buchan Bulldog", Tory MP Albert MacQuarrie, in 1987.
The SNP have prospered since UK fishing grounds, and Scottish fishing communities, were bargained away by a Tory government as the price of joining the EU in the 1970s.
Sitting MP Eilidh Whiteford, who has nursed the seat since taking over from Salmond seven years ago, enters the race on what should be a comfortable 14,000 majority.
But the Brexit fishermen and the pro-European SNP appear to have fallen out. Conservative polling hopes are borne out by voting in the council elections last week, leaving the SNP on the defensive.
The Nationalists welcomed Davidson to Peterhead by leaking a partial account of a letter from UK Environment Secretary Andrea Leadsom.
It claimed to show that fishing was an expendable Brexit pawn.
The charge has been dismissed by fishermen's leaders such as Bertie Armstrong who has had the letter for a month and found that far from threatening it delivers the assurances the Scottish Fishermen's Federation were looking for.
Davidson accuses Nicola Sturgeon of a "grubby" attempt to sink her visit to Peterhead.
In the comfort of the port authority board room she emphasises the message she gave to the market below "We've got one chance to get a good deal out of Brexit, I'm committed to that and so are the Conservative Ministers and fishermen know that any attempt to take us back into the EU would mean we go straight back into the Common Fisheries policy."
Up in town, and batting for Europe , Eilidh Whiteford has a simple reply for that. She says: "The Tories betrayed the fishermen on the way into Europe and they would betray them on the way out."
The fishermen want all the fish in the sea and all the markets to sell them too. But what would be unacceptable would be for the Common Fishery Policy rules to keep applying after Brexit.
That, Whiteford warns, is what a Tory Brexit would mean - a second sell-out of the fishermen.
She says: "The Leadsom letter couldn't be clearer - the Tories are simply going to translate the CFP into UK law and it is going to be business as usual with the same foreign vessels fishing in our waters but with restrictions on our exporters."
She adds: "The wise heads in the industry see this, the risks will fall on processors and exporters. You can have much quota as you want but if you don't have a market to sell to no one is winning."
But echoing across the Peterhead market, voices can be heard willing the Conservatives to win.
Jimmy Buchan, the skipper who starred in the popular Trawlermen TV series, now represents the processors onshore through the Scottish Seafoods Association.
"We need a strong Prime Minister in there," he says. "This is not about completely excluding our European counterparts it is about getting the balance and the share in our favour as the nation that has the fish, that is not unreasonable."
Davidson highlights that the SNP has nothing left to offer the fishing communities: "The EU fishery commissioner has made it clear, no new entrant to the EU will be able to modify the CFP. You're straight back in that would be a huge disappointment to people here who see the opportunity Brexit gives to their industry."
The North east has been rewarded for its loyalty by the SNP government. Big infrastructure investment in the SNP's favoured corner has transforming the road network but there has been another change of late.
In the council elections Conservatives were ahead in first preference votes in every ward, even SNP strongholds like Fraserburgh.
"There might be people who voted Scottish independence but they voted with even more passion to leave the EU," says Tory hopeful David Duguid.
"I can be a voice for the whole community in the heart of parliament, not just shouting from the sidelines of opposition."
Duguid and Whiteford are politicians unlike Ruth Davidson or Alex Salmond.
Whiteford is no blowhard but the quiet-spoken veteran has a native feel for the communities that make up Banff and Buchan.
There is more to the seat than fishing. On the doorstep she hears a lot about the problems of lay-offs in the oil and gas industry, the quiet disaster that has left once wealthy oil workers facing their overstretched credit lines.
She is also still getting a warm response to that other referendum question, the one on independence.
Like the fishermen Whiteford knows not all fishing expeditions end in success.
She says: "We were returning SNP MPs here when the party was at 14 per cent in national polls.
"I think a lot of people with the loudest voices don't always represent the common sense of the majority."

"Thank goodness I never believed in love anyway. My heart is too fragile and I will never let any man break it because I may not survive it when that happens. To be honest with you, my man loves me and he spoiled me with everything. He will do anything for my happiness. Maybe he is doing all this because he is a pastor, or because all what God wants from him is to love me and I'm just to respect him. Wow! That is easy to do, all I want is to be loved and taken care of and I will respect him. But wait a minute! Do you think you can respect your man if you don't love him? Yeah! I purposely asked that question because I can remember my first boyfriend that took care of me with his money and showered me with love; he didn't get any respect back from me because, I cannot just respect him. We quarrel everyday and I never care to let go everything he is doing for me. I tried to do what The Bible wants me to do by just respecting him but it didn't happen. Big difference with my present guy, I can see myself respecting him and never want to hurt him because he is a darling. He can spend is life on me, wow! My guy is loaded with money 😘😘😘. Now, here is my concern, why will God want me not to love my man but just to respect him in return of his love to me?"

Sex & Love 💕
"'Sex is not good for your health, it will shorten your life' 👈🏻👈🏻👈🏻Boom!! That was what my doctor told me. Unbelievable, really! I will rather die than not to make him happy. Do you know something? Staying away from sex is not even about me but my man. Unfortunately, my doctor said I have health issues and that I should stay away from sex. I love my man and I'm not ready to loose him.
I actually came up with a plan but didn't tell him yet, just feel like sharing it on this forum before spitting it out to him. I am thinking about telling my man to go get a girlfriend in other to make up for our sex life; I'm doing this because I love this man and I care about him. Do you guys have any suggestion concerning this matter?"

The Burning Desire
"'It is burning in me, the fire 🔥 refuses to stop. I can't sleep 😴, all I see is him in my dream. The feeling is beyond my explanation, honestly, it seems I'm going crazy. I talked to myself about him. It is real, the love is real! I have never felt this way before. He is my life partner, my mind and thoughts.' That is me talking to my pillow about my love, my heart ❤, he is everything to me. I needed to talk to someone or something about him because I'm going crazy. I kept him away from friends for a long time because I just didn't know where things went wrong with my other relationship. Unfortunately, I just couldn't contain this fire of love that is burning in me anymore. I decided to tell my 'neighborhood brother' who's my mentor about him. Yeah! Then I felt better. One day, my mentor told me about the terrible dream he had; he said my love will hurt my feelings and dump me in future; OMG! I cried and couldn't stop because I never wanted to get hurt again. I stopped seeing my love but I carried the pain everywhere. You won't believe my supposed mentor came to me and asked me out; wooo!! Really! Hnmmmm life is evil. My "neighborhood brother" said he has been hiding the feeling he has towards me for a long time but he couldn't do it any more. I'm just short of words and frustrated. I'm not getting it! What do you think?"
Now to the house, the lady needs your opinion, just be Realwithkem.

Sex & Love
"I don't think this is right, for real 😳 It is wrong. If you love me, you won't ask me for sex just a few weeks after we met. Hnmmmmm, I can't just figure it out. What is going on with guys these days. Love is all about sex, I'm not sure if the trend is the same back in the day. At least, is a good idea to first know and understand the girl before requesting for sex. Wait a minute! Do you think I'm wrong? I can still remember when I was young and I used to over hear my brothers that were married complaining about their wives not being good in bed. My brothers also used to say, due to their status they couldn't have girlfriend to make up; 😜😜yeah! I understand no one wants to talk about that on this forum but it's okay. But to be honest with you, he is an handsome guy, polite and lovely. I won't lie to you, I actually fell for him right away. I thought we should be friend for at least five months before asking me for sex. After being friend for two months, he asked "can you come sleep over at my house" ding ding! My response was 'No' and I was upset. I don't think he is real, he is just after my body. Do you want me to be honest with you? I want the same thing he wants, I'm just nervous not to rush things and also my friends usually say 'don't give your body for a man in a rush because he will never value you.' Do you think what my friends say is true or not?
I don't know, can you get Realwithkem and put things right for me please?"
Just be Realwithkem 😘😘

Dowell Management has extensive experience in designing strategic planning programs that yield measureable results for organizations. Our 3D Planning process is unique in that it brings forward external, as well as internal, perspectives that help organizations hone their growth strategies to achieve maximum impact. Plus, we know what works because we collectively have more than 45 years of experience in the membership-based association industry.
Our 3D Planning helps your organization Discover core strengths and values, as seen by both internal and external audiences; Develop critical goals and strategies; and Decide how to prioritize, implement and communicate.
We begin by grounding ourselves in an understanding of the current state of your organization, previous strategy work, your market and external environment, and the perspectives of key stakeholders. Usually this phase of our work is conducted in collaboration with senior management and/or a strategic planning task force. The outcome of this phase is a work plan that translates your strategic planning goals into key questions, activities, and milestones. Specific deliverables of the Discovery Phase include:
- One-on-one or small group meetings with senior management or task force to determine strategic planning goals, timeline, planning participants and logistics
- Review of previous strategic work
- Review of industry trends, competitive market, etc.
- Review of external conditions, both positive and negative that impact the organization (this is frequently accomplished through surveys, interviews and focus groups)
- Written assessment of stakeholders and their needs, expectations, political realities, etc.
- Written summary describing the implicit and explicit opportunities based on the above items
In this phase, Dowell Management works closely with senior management or a strategic planning task force to create a fast-paced, yet thorough, process that engages leadership in discussion of the organization's future based on the information obtained in the Discovery Phase. For many organizations, our 3D Planning process includes the use of real-time participant polling to reveal candid perceptions without succumbing to group think and other pitfalls of group planning processes. Specific deliverables of the Development Phase include:
- One or more structured planning sessions with planning stakeholders identified by senior management or task force
- Review and revisit organizational mission, vision, values, core competencies, etc.
- Envision the future through scenario planning, SWOT analysis or other group techniques
- Generate key opportunities for the next 3-5 years based on the future discussion
- Define and agree on factors critical to success
- Define and agree on 3-5 long term, high level, measurable, mission based goals
- Identify and prioritize key strategies that will best enable the organization to accomplish the goals
- Agreement on success measures for each strategy
After the planning session(s), Dowell Management will prepare a written draft strategic plan and summary reflecting the work completed in the Development Phase. The organization's role during this phase is to ensure that the plan is realistic given the capacity of the organization and its resources. Specific deliverables of the decision phase include:
- A draft summary of the planning session(s) noting issues that emerged that did not become part of the draft plan or that were not addressed or prioritized for inclusion in the plan
- A draft final plan, generally 4-6 pages, combining narrative, boxes and other graphic elements to ensure that the plan engages stakeholders and is a dynamic, useful organizational tool
- Supplemental reports of best practices based on strategies adopted

Horn strain made from kratom leaf with horn , its very rare,we found it on deep of the borneo jungle , we must cross the river to take it , that's why price more expensive than the other strain
Red Horn Kratom is termed as an unpredictable strain. It works as you want it to be e.g. slow, medium, fast. Red Horn Kratom is often confused with Maeng Da strain, but both of these are different. There are so many similarities among these two.
It is the rarest strain of Kratom and not readily available. It is a finely ground powder of the red vein Kratom's leaves which are carefully selected for use.

We all love our local high streets but many of these local shopping centres are facing stiff competition both from the internet but also larger retail precincts like the Mall. I want to see more targeted support into these vital neighbourhood amenities and this will require a combination of both local and national effort.
Nationally I believe we need a root and branch reform of our business rate systems so that local shops aren't at a disadvantage against the online giants. Locally we also need to ensure CCTV cameras help people feel safe when they are at the shops. We also need to ensure we have the right level of on and off street parking to boost trade by improving access and above all the area needs to look and feel welcoming for the community.
For far too long many of these areas have felt ignored and neglected. That needs to change.

In order to help the city and state meet goals to build a highly skilled Indiana workforce, Marian University has established Project Build, an adult education outreach program.
Meet Angela Gilder, Project Build's Student of the Month. We are so proud of Angela and her accomplishments! We asked her a few questions and here is how she responded.
What made you decide to join Marian's ABE program?
"I realized I need to further my education. I wanted to take another trade. I have been a certified nurse's aide for seven years, but it's not the field for me. So, joining Marian's ABE program refreshed the education I needed to complete the BICSI (cable technology installation) program."

Complete Story
Best aspect of new state budget: no sales tax on services
For engineering companies, the best feature of the new two-year state budget signed into law by Governor John Kasich last week is what it doesn't contain: his proposal to extend the state sales tax to engineering services.
Kasich signed the $71 billion general revenue fund budget into law Tuesday, just hours before it was to take effect on July 1, but not before using his line-item veto to eliminate 44 individual provisions from the spending plan. None of those vetoes materially affect the engineering industry.
For the second time in two years, ACEC Ohio joined with a large coalition of other business organizations in successfully lobbying to defeat a proposal from the governor to extend the sales tax to a wide range of services.
Two years ago, the plan was broad – tax all services. This year, the proposal was more cleverly worded to tax a variety of services, including "management consulting services," which was so broadly defined that it surely would have been interpreted as covering most services offered by engineering companies.
ACEC Ohio testified against the plan several times as the budget wended its way through the General Assembly. In addition, it participated in the lobbying effort coordinated by the Ohio Service Industry Coalition, a broad-based group that represents nearly 1.1 million employees, more than 57,000 establishments, annual payroll of $42 billion and $265 billion in sales.
While the proposal was knocked out of the budget bill passed by the Ohio House of Representatives, some members of the Ohio Senate expressed support for the governor's stated goal of increasing "consumption taxes" and cutting personal income taxes. The administration has touted this strategy, claiming it leads to job creation, although there is scant economic evidence to support that claim.
There is every reason to believe that the governor will make a third attempt at extending the sales tax to engineering services when he introduces his final budget two years hence, meaning that continued vigilance will be required on the part of ACEC Ohio and the broader business community.

Beginner's guide to ballet: Dancewear Central
Just over two years ago, I took a very nervous little girl to a ballet class for the first time. As a toddler, Libby was very shy. She didn't really associate with other children and whilst she was a chatterbox at home, she barely said a word when there were other people around. We started going together to little swans ballet class at Ballet Malvern. The class is aimed at pre-school aged children and parents join so that each child has the one to one attention of their parent to help them to follow the teacher's instructions.

Time to ramp up your online video content?
Who hasn't wanted to make a television show at least once in their life?
I've been kicking myself for the last 20 years for not making the celebrity chef series I thought of in the late 1980s. Damn you Jamie Oliver.
These days, not only is video production a whole lot easier, it's about to get extremely popular.
As a medium, moving pictures are older than the airplane – but it is only now that they can be delivered to us almost instantaneously on just about any device over the Internet and phone networks. It's not quite where we want it to be – but it will only be a few years from now before instant streaming of HD video is standard fare.
This in turn will bring about an enormous change in the way video is used in business and in leisure time, we've already seen this with YouTube – which is now the second biggest search engine on the planet after Google.
Videos can be made and delivered cheaply and quickly to targeted audiences without having to pay for airtime. If you've got an exceptional video, you can upload it to YouTube and you could have millions of people watch it – that day.
Many media companies are coming to realise this as they ramp up their video content. AOL is planning to increase video content from 4 per cent to 70 per cent of their editorial output.
Brands are beginning to question the value of making traditional television commercials and are devoting part of their budgets to making their own content for online audiences, such as Facebook users.
Internally, large companies are realising that a good way to communicate with staff is through the medium of video.
The television industry's delivery mechanism is changing and anyone can conceivably have a crack at making a program now.
As Internet-connected televisions and broadband fibre networks transfer the online viewing experience from your workstation or mobile to the lounge-room, all of a sudden long-form video will be watched online.
But the rush to produce online video is similar to the late 1990s when every business just had to have a website – why didn't matter.
What makes good television will be equally true online – and the difference is programming.
Think like a television station, in terms of audience, programs, schedules, promotions and sponsors.
The expensive, one-off corporate video that the board just loves will, in future, have its true value rated by YouTube hits. You don't have to make a viral spoof video and you don't have to have 24-hours of content, but to stand out you will have to be compelling.
Now's the time to think about making that show.Back
Hi Simon, I couldn't agree with you more. However, Online Video is most certainly a single form of digital advertising and again one must not take for granted the impact of an integrated digital advertising campaign as part of an overarching advertising campaign.
Have a look at this study – http://www.elasticpath.com/resources/monetizing-online-video/.
It is a study around understanding consumer behaviour in the online video space and how to reach targeted, relevant audiences for the brand.
Some of the key findings are below:
– Most online video viewers download or watch regularly
– The number and kinds of devices for watching online video are growing
– The appetite for watching social video is strong
– Most consumers seek out free or inexpensive online video content
– The types of online content consumers are willing to pay for mirror those they pay for offline
– Consumers regularly share online video recommendations
– Preview Options could entice many consumers to buy
– Online Video Ads are effective at driving a purchase/call-to-action
An Interesting Finding:
– Advertising adverse viewers will pay to avoid advertisements
In summary, I believe companies like The Video Network (http://thevideocompany.tv/#/the-video-network) are very well positioned with the capabilities to monetize this huge shift towards online video and how to advertise in this space.
Why? Because The Video Network have:
– A unique service offering, modern day media agency
– Innovative Technological platform and strategy (Targeted Reach and Engagement)
– Access to Real-Time Metadata
– A Product Range that allows consumers to engage further with the brand and audience
– Is targeting Gen Ys "the early adopters" that are more willing to pay for most types of online video content
– A Platform that can distribute ad format content to multiple devices
– Analytics with tracking and reporting to drive ROI
– Standardized integration with a video player plug-in on any Flash based player, pre-integration and APIs
This is a very VERY exciting space.

Something I am trying to get in the habit of doing is pinning articles that I read to my boards on Pinterest. Why? Because Pinterest is a valuable tool to use when you are trying to grow traffic to your site.
If everyone who has visited my site over the past year pinned just one article on their Pinterest boards, I would have over 1000 pins floating around out there. Each pin is an opportunity to attract potential readers to my blog.
I want to issue a challenge to everyone who enjoys blogging and reading blog posts of others….. Pin something from the sites you visit on your Pinterest boards. Help other bloggers grow their brand, the same as you would want them to help you.
