Mozambique Spitting Cobra (Naja mossambica)
A medium snake growing to 1,6 m in length, slender in build, but becomes robust when large. The head is distinct from the neck with a broad temporal area. The colour is light to dark brown or olive with some scales edged in black. The skin between the scales is black giving this snake a fish-net stocking appearance on the dorsal side. The ventral is light pink to creamy or yellow or apricot colour with from one to three irregular black bands on the throat. Some specimens are mottled towards the tail. The scales are smooth and in 23 – 25 rows at midbody.
Fixed front fangs. The fangs are modified with the exit on the front of the fang, which gives this snake the ability to spray its venom towards an attacker's eyes as a form of defense. The venom can be ejected from a reared up position or from down on the ground without rearing up. The snake simply gapes the mouth and sprays in the direction of the attack.
A cytotoxin that causes extensive, usually superficial, skin and subcutaneous tissue destruction. Some victims may have multiple bites. A bite on the hand or foot, that does not receive early treatment, will result in the bones being exposed, with the result that this needs to be repaired by skin grafts. A prolonged hospital stay is the usual result of this type of damage. Antivenom can be used for up to 5 hours from the time of the bite, to prevent or limit the amount of tissue destruction. After this, major damage would have been done, and the use of and repair would be done in theatre. Neurological symptoms seems to be limited to drowsiness in man, but death in small rodent prey is rapid from the neurotoxins. The lethal dose for adult man is estimated at 50 mg and the venom yield is 80 – 200 mg the average being 140 mg. Venom can also be sprayed and venom in the eyes will cause instant burning pain, the victim will be rubbing the eyes because of the pain and the snake is busy escaping into the grass. Venom is sprayed from a reared up position but also from ground level without making a hood. Effective distance of the venom spray is about 2 – 2.5 meters.
From southern KZN, north to Mpumalanga, Limpopo, North West, Gauteng. Further into Botswana, Swaziland, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, and Namibia.
This snake prefers open bushveld areas, with grass, rocks or boulders and streams.
This medium sized cobra is very common and is also often implicated in snakebite in KZN, Mpumalanga, Swaziland and Mozambique. It can be active during the day, but becomes more active towards evening. This snake preys on almost anything and is fond of frogs, toads, rodents, birds and their eggs and nestlings as well as other snakes. It is often found around human habitation, and a common pest at game lodges, where it poses a threat to visitors. The most common encounter with this cobra would be venom spat in the eyes, but bites to sleeping people are also regularly reported. This occurs mostly in Zululand and Swaziland where the rural people sleep on grass mats with their doors open at night because of the oppressive heat, allowing these cobras to enter their houses, with disastrous results. Bites can be on any body part as the victim is bitten while sleeping.

How to Create A Recruitment Video
Time for another article on what the heck we actually do! Sometimes it's hard to understand why the price of a video seems high. I mean it's just a video, right? This article is going to give you an idea of what the process is, for a broader overview of what to expect from Torch7 check out our 7 step process to creating epic videos.
First Stage
We start with a concept meeting at On-Core Bookkeeping. The owner, Lynn Gagne Webb, our Production/Director, and Marketing Scriptwriter sat down to come up with the idea. As a team we create a storyboard, build a script, and get the plan together.
Next step!
In animation, we would send a picture to the illustrator, but for live action, the first stages move a little quicker. Location Scouting! We headed over to On-Core Bookkeeping to plan our shots and go over the script with everyone before our main cameraman, Adam arrived. The staff practiced there lines, discussed changes, and made sure everyone was looking their best.
Our wonderful cameraman, Adam got there just as we all finished up. After a quick walkthrough of the location and shots needed, he set up his gear and was ready to go.
The staff was so relaxed and accommodating, letting us interrupt their day to get the right shots. Lynn's commanding presence took very little coaching to make her pop on screen.
While the filming is going on, Cassie, our amazing audio production expert, took the staff into a quiet room and recorded all the voiceovers.
Finishing it Off
Now it's time for post-production. This takes up the most amount of time, by far.
Regardless of video style, the basic process is the same. The more detailed the scene, the longer and more intensive the editing process. At this point we manipulate and rearrange the video shots and other post-production tasks include titling, colour correction, sound mixing, etc. The main goals throughout this stage is to remove any unwanted footage and choose the clips we like the most, create a flow to the video, add effects, graphics, voiceovers, sound effects and a soundtrack and finally give the video a particular angle, its viewpoint, style, pace and mood to convey our message.
So why a recruitment video? A recruitment video can help prospective employees see if they are the right fit for your business and it is also what we would call a 'soft sell'. It's a very effective way to show what an amazing team you have, and will put a face to your business, your prospective client will feel more comfortable buying your products or services. This style of video marketing will explain your companies services in a different way, which is a great opportunity to wow potential clients. It's a great base to build your marketing around or to compliment what you already have. Check out the video below for more information.

text: Visitors are coming today, about mid afternoon. DH Robin is having a "Farewell BBQ Get-together" with his fellow truck drivers and they will be here shortly. Perhaps a bit of a tidy-up is due, I thought. My sewing cabinet lives in the dining room and when it is opened up, (as is the norm) it takes up more that its fair share of the room. With it all closed up neatly, it certainly makes a big difference. Then there was that big pile of patchwork magazines just sitting on the floor nice and handy to the arm chair – they will have to be put away too. I found time to flick through some over a cup of coffee and read an article about toy sewing machines. I remember my sister Kathleen and I getting one each from Santa one year when we were about 8 and 9. What fun we had with them, turning the little handle as we practised sewing dollies clothes. The machine did not have a bobbin as I recall, and sewed chain stitch. Looking back now, how I wished they had been kept safely for the both of us when we lost interest in the toys and went on to using the real sewing machine. Wouldn't it be wonderful to come across such a treasure years later when we would truly appreciate them. Never mind, that's life, I guess.

This is probably something I shouldn't admit, but I never wanted to be a storyteller. I only said, "Yes," to promote my writing. But. It grew, and it won't stop growing. On top of everything else I'm doing, an insane schedule to be sure, I have to come up with new material. That's right, I have to write it all.
It started with the Haunting in the Hills Festival. I attended it in 2015 and realized that it would be an excellent place to sell my books if it ever came to that. Anya and the Secrets of Cupola hadn't been released yet. This year, I had two books, and I was going to sell them any way I knew how. I inquired about the festival. One thing led to another, and I'm being asked to perform at the Ghost Train. I decided to go all in and try to perform at the Haunting this year, too, but they didn't want me. I don't blame them. I've been there. Those storytellers are awesome. I had no idea how much work went into one story.
I do now.
I spent a MONTH working on my first story, a story I had already written. I performed it for my Writer's Circle for critique and help. It was then I was asked to perform at the Apple Festival this year. I said, "Well, what would you want me to perform?"
"That story you just told."
There's just one tiiiiiiiny problem with that. That story was less than 10 minutes long. I was expected to perform for 30 minutes at the Apple Festival. Also, the story I told was gruesome in nature, and I don't think it did very well. This means I have spent the past week killing myself to get the right material for the festival. That's right. Seven days. Not 30 … 7.
It hasn't been fun. It's been grueling. It is hard, hard work. I had no idea what went into storytelling, but I sure am finding out! The hard way.
So THEN, by complete happenstance (or God's intervention, you never really know), a friend of mine posted on facebook that they needed a story teller for their church. Next week. With pay. Who turns this down?!?!?
I told her that I would be at a festival this weekend with many storytellers and would be able to ask them of their interest. One of them was even a preacher and would probably be perfect for what she was wanting. But, I still need to keep on my toes. None of them may be able to do it on such short notice, so I may be performing again in another week. Groan!
It's really funny. I mean, granted, this may go nowhere, but it may go somewhere. This may be nothing more than a seriously insane month, or it may be the beginning of something amazing. It's just odd that I haven't "advertised my services", but that invitations keep coming up. In fact, one of my professors was really interested in storytelling and wanted to talk about it with me. (it came up by accident. It wasn't a purposeful interaction of the subject.) I had to tell him that I'm just a children's author. I'm not pursuing story telling; people just ask me to do it.
I later realized that that probably came across as arrogant, but that wasn't my intent. My intent was, (because he kept mentioning places for me to try, groups that might interest me) "For the love of Pete, don't ask me to tell another story. I'm booked!!"
When I'm no longer in school, I'm sure things like this won't be so difficult. When I have a larger repertoire, it won't be so difficult. But now? When I'm just starting out? I simply don't have the time to write a 30 minute show every week. That's just crazy! (I also have a backlog of invitations from other authors to join them in book signings. I every intention of getting back to you, but it's a bit impossible until after this weekend. I am so sorry!!)

A combination of the chill in the air and the heating on full blast has meant that my lips remain dry as anything. To combat this, I tried alternating between two Lanolips products – the 101 Ointment and the Lip Ointment with Colour.
After having had such lovely results from the Golden Ointment, I was really excited to try the 101 Ointment. Named to honour the number of uses it has, 101 Ointment is a thick, waxy balm that can be used for lots of purposes. A very solid formula, I found it best to warm between my fingertips before applying, but I have to admit that I ended up finding a different use for it…
Recently, I got a new kitten. He is absolutely gorgeous and very friendly, but sometimes when we play I get tiny little scratches and therefore my hands have been looking rather grubby! By massaging some 101 Ointment into little scratches here and there, I've found that the appearance has reduced and everything healed in just a matter of days. If you've got someone small at home that is prone to cuts and grazes or even an annoying knack during shaving that is taking forever to heal up, a bit of 101 Ointment might be just the thing to speed things along.
In terms of lip care, my favourite of the two was (non-surprisingly) the Lip Ointment with Colour. I preferred this formula because it was slightly oilier which meant that it gave a glossy finish. The shade I've been using – Apples – is a bright, glossy red. Sometimes translucent glosses can be a lot sheerer on application than in the bottle but this was very pigmented which was a lovely surprise! It is fragrance free for anyone who prefers not to have a taste to their lip products, and contains SPF15 which is an essential in this weather.
The more I delve into Lanolips, the more impressed I am. Of the things I've tried, everything seems so rich with great results and – even better – a little goes a long way.
Are you a multi-use kind of person? If so, the 101 Ointment should be by your bedside.

There aren't pinpoint developed or under-developed nations. The difference in development levels of nations are classed according to proximity to the best examples of the two extremes of the stages of development. Thus the term developing is firstly relative to both extremes. The seemingly endless process of developing is still quiet evident at both extremes. This fact is open dispute and debate.
Stagnation in under-developed nations isn't permanent either, but the term aptly describes the state it appears to be in presently, just as being termed developed doesn't describe the former. Development isn't an infrastructural state, principally. Development is mainly attitudinal; a state of a culture and not the process it had under gone to get where it is. Development isn't a stage a nation is but the state of the circumstances that surround the entirety of the national entity currently, not where it is at. Development isn't a stage but a process, it isn't ever finished but dynamic.
Here is a poem by Portia Nelson that might help us see that if we ever want this misconception of what development really is to end, we must do things differently not merely shutting little people up when they crave for true development.
There's A Hole In My Sidewalk
Chapter 1
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in. I am lost….I am helpless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.
Chapter 2
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the side walk.
I pretend I don't see it. I fall in again.
I can't believe I am in the same place.
But it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.
Chapter 3
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I fall in….it's a habit…but my eyes are open.
I know where I am. It is my fault.
I get out immediately.
Chapter 4
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.
Chapter 5
I walk down a different street.

Women can not but accept that they make a marriage work. The nature of the man is too proud, independent and selfish to make all the compromises a marriage needs to work. In the most traditional setting the onus is on the woman to do all the work for a marriage. She would think that she couldn't do much of it without the male's maintained cooperation, but really most men never had actually cooperated from the onset.
It is clear that the more independent the woman seeks to be and the more independence she attains over time and exercises in her personalized wishes in a marriage and in life in general, the more the marital proverbially boat rocks, hit the rocks and sinks. Then only the woman really loses out because the marriage institution best personifies her. The man would only instantly lose the joys of the woman's attributes, all those many attachments that were always only really beneficial to him. The woman loses the marriage she was wooed into. It will hurt the man's pride, take away the brightness in the pleasures he enjoys for the while. Then his face would beam, his eyes gleam with delight and his lips blossom into the fresh smile of yet another blissful union. Women mostly seek face value like their much belittled gender, racial and regional orientation expects of them.
Truly black women are practically more racists in their preferences. Though they are very hospitable and more selfless, they are collectively personal and quite tribal, and trivial in their general choices; preferring outward values above all others. The twisting effect of religion doesn't change this trend as much as culture has affected it over time, it actually worsens it. Civilization merely inserted a dent in the trend but not altered in fully. A whooping resounding domineering majority of religious people aren't adult converts but are actually circumstantially religious by some original orientation. Thus it has never been the quest of religious people to seek the rightfulness of another faith ahead of theirs. They are always schooled in the desires of their immediate needs and desire to put other faith's principle on a logical pedestal. To remotely glorify different teachings is not even entertained.
They would ordinarily consider all others faiths quite inferior to theirs and oddly that poorly or wrongly conceives subjective ideologies but not guide any sacred insight like theirs would. In this line of thought they linger in, their need of it engulfs their bias reasoning, which is to belong firmly and remain so in their tight fitting world of faithful make-belief. Their near misses are actually searches and they are never real losers in the end, but endless winners that out number their victories. It is in these all too familiar marriages that the lingering incompatibility of each separate union comes true and freedom from that inner human loneliness couples look for is ever elusive, endlessly so. Freedom from humanly imposed regulations is the spelled out thought that holds them captive with its one tracked biasness. Then as the birds of marital prey are spotted and stopped from perching over human heads, they stay out of reach and fly over head with their very own intensions in mind and never that of another. The presence of freedom has the propensity to be quite harmful eventually too, just as does the absence of it. The case in favour of true freedom is that it allows choice, and choice makes the man. It is the main difference in humanity's tangible essence over its adopted civility.
These intimate songs we sing
Blend aged dreams into a ring
That weds our gendered stew
In matrimonial oneness not new.
Strenght of a woman

One strange thing about the drunkenness of power is that it leaves no trace of a hangover because it never really intoxicates in the first place, instead it infects like an ailment. What it does is put the mind in a state of make believe stupor. It lies to the person, telling him he is indeed invincible and that he can walk naked on a busy road without being seen by the ever present pretentious crowd. When a mad man walks around naked, it is only because he doesn't logically know he is naked until he is healed. This is quite unlike the drunk man who is always fully aware of what happens to him, if he is still consciously awake while drunk. Then by all intent of purpose, the powerful man lives in that state sandwiched in the mystical void between insanity and drunkenness, while actually being neither of them. So when this borderless state concludes its hazy mazy course, it still leaves behind a lot to rationally reflect on, unlike madness which leaves nothing of its past or drunkenness which leaves no immediate memories or vivid perspective of the past.
Power's negativity leaves regrets, shame and disgrace, because it can be remembered as it was. In its selfish ways, power has an impulsive mind which with steady time has the tendency to become unwaveringly firm in its will to pursue a course it had lashed on to by its proud faith in its perceived abilities. It takes up a nature rightly construed to be initially foreign to its natural one and summarily makes it its own. Power denies its perilous positions because it doesn't see it clearly like it ought to. It is an enigma that inserts a conjecturable attitude in itself.
Power is an attitude with an enticement induced with dubious intentions as the cost of most of its decisions are usually more than less not what it is personally prepared to pay for. The potentials of power are commonly not fully tapped and when applied unwisely, never really realized in its entirety. They almost never get fully achieved. The dubious craft of making power create wealth is thus never fully achieved when it is considered that wealth isn't the attraction in itself, but what the wealth represents always is the absolute objective. It is predominantly such an overpowering desire.
Power craves wealth for the power it gives.

Author: Marie Rutkoski
Series: The Winner's Trilogy #1
Publisher: Bloomsbury
Source: Review Copy
Publication Date: July 3rd, 2014
Winning what you want may cost you everything you love As a general's daughter in a vast empire that revels in war and enslaves those it conquers, seventeen-year-old Kestrel has two choices: she can join the military or get married. But Kestrel has other intentions.The Winner's Curse is such a magical little book. I found myself immediately lost in this world that Marie Rutkoski has created. Constantly playing through my mind were comparisons to Throne of Glass - always a winner in my eyes - but there's also similarities to The Queen of the Tearling here too. I think I've found 'my thing' that I'll automatically fall in love with when it comes to books; a female fighter who isn't afraid to use a dagger when it comes down to it. I know that sounds incredibly vague but the books that I've fallen head over heels for have been this, Sarah J. Maas' books and Tearling - the one thing they have in common is a female character like this. It's guaranteed to get me to pick up the book.
One day, she is startled to find a kindred spirit in a young slave up for auction. Arin's eyes seem to defy everything and everyone. Following her instinct, Kestrel buys him—with unexpected consequences. It's not long before she has to hide her growing love for Arin.
But he, too, has a secret, and Kestrel quickly learns that the price she paid for a fellow human is much higher than she ever could have imagined.
Set in a richly imagined new world, The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski is a story of deadly games where everything is at stake, and the gamble is whether you will keep your head or lose your heart.
Before picking up this book, I was already addicted to it. The cover was gorgeous and there were so many amazing reviews floating about. I was so, so excited to read it and that hasn't changed since putting the book down. Bloomsbury publish some incredible YA and this is up there with the best. Rutkoski has created such a compelling world and such exciting characters. I fell in love with Kestrel from the first chapter; she was feisty, strong-minded and so different from those around her. I loved that she didn't conform to the rules, that she got herself into all sorts of trouble and that she tried so hard to break out of the chains that society had trapped her in. The relationship that develops between Kestrel and Arin is magical to witness and I loved the ways in which they learnt more about each other. I loved the mystery surrounding Arin and I'm still intrigued to learn more about both of these characters!
Although you can see the ending coming as you read through the books, it still makes for one hell of an exciting and bumpy ride. With an amazing semi-cliffhanger to end, I am most certainly looking forward to reading the second book in this trilogy. There's so much more that I want to say but I don't want to spoil this for anyone that hasn't read it. Rutkoski writes beautifully and powerfully; her characters and her world building jump off the page and ensnares you in this magical world. There's so much happiness, conflict, heartache, love and fear in these pages. I couldn't get enough of this book and I think it's going to end up being up there with my favourites!

Online Roulette For Real Money
Playing Real Money Roulette Online
Roulette is widely considered as one of the easiest table games, which is why it has remained popular among the masses over the centuries. When engaging in roulette real money play, a few things have to be completed before a gamble session can begin, and they are:
- Choose a gambling site to play roulette game for real money, register as a member, and make a cash deposit
- Open the gaming portfolio and choose the desired game variation out of the ones presented
- Launch the game
Once the set has been opened, gamblers are presented with a software simulation of a brick and mortar roulette wheel. The layout of both the wheel and the roulette table will vary depending on the type of the set being played. During gameplay, the wheel rotates in one direction while a small ball is thrown inside and runs in the other direction. Gamers place bets on where they think the ball will land out of the many numbered pockets included. The number of pockets that are included depends on the version of the game, and the two most popular ones that are used to inspire other versions including live dealer games are:
- European Roulette
This version is the most popular across gambling destinations and faces the highest demand. European type comes with thirty-seven pockets that are numbered one to thirty-six and a single zero. These numbers are colored red and black while the zero is green. This game follows the original rules, and its gameplay terms apply in other versions of the same.
This variation is also regarded as French Roulette. However, in most cases, this option applied the La Partage and En Prison rules. These inclusions in terms of play give the player a chance to win the full or half amount of their wager back on a color bet; this only happens if the stake loss is a result of the ball landing on the zero pocket.
- American Roulette
This variation of the game was invented in America after it was introduced in the jurisdictions during the French Revolution. American Roulette comes second to the European option in terms of popularity. One of the main differences this set has from its European counterpart is the inclusion of an extra double zero pocket to bring the number up to thirty-eight. The additional double zero pocket also bears the green color of the single zero.
Both of these variations feature inside and outside bets, which are the kind of stakes that can be placed to make money in roulette. Inside bets are those that are placed on single or split numbers. They carry the highest wins and can pay the gambler up to thirty-five times the amount staked. Nonetheless, they carry some of the worst odds and are hard to land. Outside bets, on the other hand, are placed on a larger group of numbers that are based in either parity, color, or any other elements as determined by the casino rules on playing games for real money. They come with low wins, but the chances of landing them are high.
When playing roulette for money, gamblers should keep in mind that the sets are highly dependent on luck even though some practices can be applied to make the odds of winning better. Therefore, one should be careful with how they place stakes to ensure that they have a fulfilling experience that is not at the expense of their financial stability. It is advisable to stake in roulette real money casinos that promote responsible gambling so one can put limits on their account to avoid spending more than they can handle.
Advantages of Real Money Roulette
Playing online roulette for money online has become a common practice in many gambling regions. This indulgent has numerous advantages that support its massive popularity worldwide, and some of these upsides include:
Cash wins
The provision of cash payouts is the main aspect that separates this real money casino game from the free demo option. In the latter, fun credits are offered to use as stakes with no real money risk. However, the same is generated as wins and cannot be withdrawn. When gamblers play real money casino games, including roulette, actual cash wins are provided for winning rounds. These variations give one a chance to make real profit while entertaining themselves at the same time.
Even with real money roulette coming with the advantage of cash payouts, it is advisable for one to get familiar with their set of choice before they head on to win real money in online casinos. The free versions come with the same features as the real money ones.
Bonuses and promotions
Online gambling destinations use incentives to entice gamblers into playing roulette for money online with them and has become part of casino culture. Casino bonuses and promotions are reserved for cash gamblers, and they help increase play time without the player having to spend more than planned. These offers come in various shapes and sizes, with some of them specifically built for roulette gamblers.
Casino rewards are mostly given in the form of match promotions that gift the player a percentage of the amount they deposit. In others, the amount is fixed and not influenced by external factors. Free chips can also be part of the offers, and the values they carry differ from one gaming site to another. Players should confirm if these offers are limited for use or not. If the latter is the case, one can then proceed to check the category's clearance rate.
Jackpot access
Like most other popular online real money casino games, some game variations are developed with jackpots, either progressive or fixed. Progressive jackpots are the most popular of the two because they offer the biggest wins; this is because the prize is pooled from the winnings made by players engaging in the set. The amounts can be drawn from one gaming site and game or several of them.
Jackpot prizes are limited from the access of free to play gamers. This is because the reward cannot be gifted in cash, and the stakes placed in the demo modes do not count as real money.
Loyalty points
Loyalty points are not featured in every web gambling establishment, but they come in handy in those that do. These points are awarded in different ways, the most common being depending on how much is spent. In most cases, players receive a point for every ten dollars, pounds, or euros spent. The points can be exchanged for cash, game bonuses, or other items offered at the casino store.
Some online casinos where gamers can play online roulette for real money use these points to classify gamblers in tier systems. The higher one is in this pyramid; the better casino treatment one receives such as personal managers, faster withdrawals, and bigger bonuses among others.
Roulette Types of Bets
Roulette real money variations come with simple gameplay that can be grasped by nearly all gamblers. Even with such simple gameplay, the set accommodates a diverse variety of bets. That way, players have an array of choices to select one that matches their budget and gambling needs. Stake selection depends on the preference of the player; some make their decision based on their lucky numbers while others depend on the routes guided by gambling strategies.
The types of bets are numerous and vary greatly on how to make money on roulette. Even so, there are those that cut across most of them to make a feature, and they include:
Straight up
This is the highest paying stake in all versions of the game. Gamblers playing straight up place chips of their desired value on the number they think the ball will land on. Most web gambling destinations apply a Drag and Drop method, where the gamblers place chips on the roulette table. If the ball falls in the staked number, the player receives thirty-five times their placed bet.
The Split roulette stake is an inside bet, which means that it comes with high odds of winning. This wager is placed on two numbers that border each other on the table such as thirty-four and thirty-five or thirty-three and thirty-six. A win is granted if the ball lands on any of the two numbers to give the player a payout of seventeen times their wager.
Also a member of the inside stakes, the street bet is one that is placed on three numbers that appear horizontally on the roulette table. A fine example is a bet placed in the numbers thirty-four, thirty-five, and thirty-six. The odds of winning if the ball lands on one of these digits are one to eleven.
As the name suggests, this stake is placed anywhere on the roulette table where four numbers meet to form a square, and the odds of winning are one to eight.
Six lines
This bet is similar to the street stakes, but this time the player gambles on two lines. The winning odds are one to five.
Black or red
This is a member of the outside bets family and is placed on the color one thinks the ball will land on between black and red.
Odd or even
This bet is placed based on parity and pays out one to two.
The odds of winning for the two popular roulette versions are assessed below:
|European Roulette Odds in %
|American Roulette Odds in %
|Six Lines
|Black or Red
|Odd or Even
How to Win When You Play Online Roulette for Cash
When playing online roulette for cash, some rules apply on how the procedure is conducted. The gameplay process has been maintained the same as that of brick and mortar variations of the game with all that is needed being the placement of chips on the desired number on the table. One should take the time to understand the types of bets that can be placed in the game before proceeding with gameplay.
One of the main influences on the kind of stake placed is the strategy the gambler applies. Over time, some methods have been proven to increase the chances of one winning and reducing the losses they make. These strategies are not always a success story, but they are worth giving a short. Among the main ones is the Martingale Strategy that is used when placing parity of color bets. Using this method, gamblers are advised to double their stake amount with every loss that they incur. Hence, when a win comes by, one recovers all the money lost and gains some profit. However, this method of play demands a big gaming budget and a reputable gaming site with real money casino games.
On how to make money on roulette online, some general practices can be applied for all versions of the game as well as stakes, and some of them include:
Have a budget
This practice applies in not only roulette but all other real money casino games. Online real money casino games are conducted at a fast pace that can deplete a gambler's bankroll in no time. Therefore, one should have a set amount that they want to spend, and it should be an amount they are willing to let go off if they wind up losers. This money should then be split into small bets that prolong gameplay.
Place outside bets
Outside bets may have lower payout odds than inside stakes, but the chances of landing them are much higher. These stakes include those placed on parity, color, or a big group of numbers.
Practice on free games
Free games give one the chance to explore the various features of roulette while implementing some strategies to see how well they work in improving the odds of winning. Afterward, proceed to make money on roulette in the cash versions.
Play European Roulette
European Roulette comes with higher winning odds than the American version, which is why it has remained predominant in the gaming industry. The inclusion of the double zero pocket in American roulette makes the odds worse for players.
Once these practices have been implemented playing roulette for money and wins have been accrued, one should save winnings; this gives them a better chance of walking away with the upper hand over the casino.
Online Roulette F.A.Q.
Has anyone really won money in online roulette?
Yes. Millions of online players have collected real money wins from playing roulette, some of them being jackpot wins in the millions.
If I play the demo version, can I win real money?
No. Only fun credits can be won in free roulette since no cash stakes are placed.
How can I withdraw winnings?
Winnings are cashed out using various online money transfer channels. The safety, availability, and security of cashier options offered by casinos are among the main elements we use to vet the prestige of these gaming sites.
What does the win amount depend on?
The payouts accrued in real money roulette depend on the amount and type of bet placed by the gambler. The higher the bet amount, the bigger the win.
Can I win really big cash?
Yes, you can. Some progressive roulette types offer wins in the millions.
What is the probability of winning?
The odds of winning are unknown since roulette results depend on luck.

My name is Andrew David Compton. I was born on September 9, 1994 in Southampton, United Kingdom. I studied at Upper Shirley High School during 2006 - 2011, garnering around 16 GCSE qualifications (many of them meaningless) and then studied at Brockenhurst College from 2011 - 2013, achieving A Levels in Film, Media and English Literature. I started a Foundation Diploma in Art & Design course at Arts University Bournemouth during September 2013, but quickly dropped out in order to devote my time to creating future film projects and getting them exhibited, as well as to settle into a new job on the side without the hassle of unnecessary debt.
Every About Me page has to open with that, right? But now, we get onto the important stuff. As it may be apparent to you by now, I have a strong interest in the art of filmmaking. To me, it is a portal into limitless creativity and one that has an unmatchable appeal. Anyone can grab a camera and film some random nonsense, but it also takes little resources, money and team members to formulate a meaningful and artistic piece of film. It's such an easy thing to enjoy and allows for endless limits and unimaginable excitement.
I was known to many as Gameking53, my former Youtube account where I made video game related videos, such as reviews, top ten lists and comparisons. It became rather famous on the interwebs, with over 4000 subscribers and at least 1000 views per video. Despite such success, I closed the channel in August 2014 as I simply did not wish to monitor or be associated with it anymore. Thanks to everyone who supported it during its seven year run, but now is the time to move on.
My love of cinema is simply infinite. Whenever people tell me they don't go to the cinema much, I say: why? Every year new and exciting films come out, box office records are made and people debate and discuss over the latest hits. It's a wonderful atmosphere to be a part of and is one of many reasons why I love film so much. I'm also a huge footie fan, and a loyal supporter of Southampton FC; again, the atmosphere surrounding all the latest football competitions and events is one I adore being part of.
My blog is your gateway to my latest movie reviews, memoirs and news on my personal filmmaking projects. My CarrCom Films channel has been active since 2012 and is where all my latest films are uploaded. Check it out, and thanks for stopping by!

Improving medical technology through interoperable devices
The industry is developing interoperable personal health devices to encourage adoption and improve patient care.
The healthcare industry is actively developing and commercializing personal health devices that can be used to monitor patients remotely. Improving medical technology and increasing the number of interoperable devices lead to improved patient health and quality of life. They also can reduce hospitalization requirements while giving providers convenient access to the data they need to make care-related decisions.
The industry's ambitions are laudable, but many cost and deployment barriers undermine its potential. Most interoperable devices are expensive, each one costing about $50 per month. Vendors also tend to use proprietary communications protocols, a practice that fragments the market and makes any deployment product-specific and time-consuming for patients and providers. Costs and deployment requirements increase if individual patients must be monitored for multiple conditions.
Consumer adoption of interoperable devices will increase and costs will decline as more companies develop and adopt standards that make devices immediately deployable.
Research is beginning to quantify the cost impact. For example, a large-scale, multi-year study conducted by the National Health Service in the United Kingdom assessed the effect of home-based telehealth services for treating patients with diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and congestive heart failure. The techniques reduced hospital admissions and mortality among telehealth patients, but cost savings were modest -- around $288 per patient per year -- and relatively small, "especially compared to the potentially high costs of these types of telehealth intervention," according to the study.
Such studies discourage regulators and health insurance companies from authorizing personal health devices. The industry must bring device costs down substantially, preferably to about $20 per month, to support wide adoption. Devices and services must also minimize deployment requirements and systems integration processes.
Interoperable devices based on widely accepted technology standards can help the industry meet these needs. Standardized products can interoperate with one another, and that encourages customer adoption, stimulates competition among vendors, expedites product development, and yields more product choices for patients and providers. Competition also can build economies of scale, which drives down costs.
At the Department of Information Systems and Computing at Brunel University, our researchers have embraced technology standards to develop interoperable devices and software platforms to achieve low-cost targets and easily deployable objectives.
Hydra Gateway, developed in partnership with Acute Technology, is a plug-and-play interoperable gateway that patients can install in minutes. It employs the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' 11073 standards to communicate with any compatible personal health sensor. It uses the Health Level 7 message format to transmit the data via mobile networks to remote servers, where the data can be accessed as needed by clinicians or patients.
The industry also needs integrated, intelligent software platforms and services that are easy to adopt and use. Our team has designed a platform that gives healthcare organizations plug-and-play capability to add new devices to their networks without needing to perform any integration services. In the inCASA project, we use the integrated platform for storing and managing remote patient data and coordinating the care of elderly patients. The Reaction project monitors and manages the long-term care of patients with diabetes.
Vendors are realizing the benefits of interoperability. Consumer adoption of interoperable devices will increase and costs will decline as more companies develop and adopt standards that make devices immediately deployable. Personal health devices might be able to connect to any smartphone. Interoperability between health devices, sensors that support applications for independent living, and health and fitness products will enable innovative monitoring services. Regulators and payers must authorize reimbursements, however. Their involvement in the marketplace has yet to be determined. Regulators and payers can potentially benefit from the lower costs and conveniences that standardization and interoperability provide.

Coolest Homemade Snow White Costume from the Movie Mirror Mirror
This is a Snow White Costume from the Movie Mirror Mirror. I loved the costumes in this movie-every one of them was a winner. But I found myself drawn to Snow White's wedding dress. Rather than being white and super fluffy, it was blue and orange. Being an ILLINI, I loved the color scheme. I used silk dupioni for the light blue over skirt and bodice, silk taffeta for the underskirt and sleeves. The back bow and lower sleeves are orange silk blend. I hand-smocked the front bodice using a honey-comb pattern. I pleated 28 yards of fabric to create the bottom border effect, and stenciled flowers all around.
Mostly I took my time. I did a lot of hand-sewing, to ease seams, create texture, and place things just right. I started with the smocking on the bodice, since I anticipated that would be the most complicated (it wasn't). In fact, figuring out how to use the pleater foot attachment to my sewing machine was far more complicated than anything else.
I based the bodice on an off-the-shoulder wedding dress pattern from the 80s, but modified the sleeves, the lacing in the back, and the length of the bodice. The skirts, sleeves, and bow I just draped and modeled until they seemed right.
This is by far the most detailed costume I've ever made, but it was so worth the time and effort. It's going to be a favorite for years, I'm sure.

Samsung launched their next flag barrier smartphone Galaxy Note7 yesterday at an event which was held in three cities in the world simultaneously. The phone will be available for pre-order from today and it will start shipping from 19 August. India launch for Note7 will be held on 11 August in New Delhi.
While the specifications of the phone turned out to resonate the earlier rumors and leaks, Iris scanner and IP68 rating were definitely the highlights of the phone in the show. Along with that, the company has focused on the tight security and photography as well.
Note7 has a gorgeous 5.7-inch QHD AMOLED display with curved edges. As always Samsung has managed to impress everyone with the display. The phone is protected by IP68 rating, that means it is dust and water proof.
The phone will be running on either Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 or Samsung's own Exynos processor based on the locale. It sports a 4 GB of RAM, although it was expected by some that the phone will ship with a 6 GB RAM.
Samsung has decided to go with 64 GB of internal memory. The second slot in the side tray will either act as memory expansion slot for SD cards till 256 GB or act as a second SIM slot depending on the country. India will most likely get the dual SIM version.
Galaxy Note7 sports a 3500 mAh battery which is a sizable battery to carry you through a day's usage without charging. Additionally, the phone uses the USB C type slot instead of the micro USB used in the Galaxy S7 series. This will help in faster charging and data transfer.
The camera department has always been a strong point of the Note series and the legacy is being carried on this time. Note7 will be using the same camera modules used in the Galaxy S7 series. The rear camera is 12 MP with an aperture of f/1.7. The front camera is of 5 MP with the same aperture. Both the cameras will have the dual-pixel low light imaging technology.
The phone boasts a ton of security features supported by hardware. In the hardware department apart from the usual fingerprint scanner, Samsung has introduced an Iris scanner which scans your eyes for security. The company has also improved Knox software with secure folder functionality where you can lock your apps and files.
Note7 will ship with Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 with TouchWiz customization on the top. Samsung has also upgraded the beloved S-pen with better pressure sensitivity and more functionality. The tip of the S-pen is now just 0.7 mm thick as compared to 1.6 mm of the previous iteration. The phone is now loaded with better Air commands for S-pen, smart GIF select, and scroll and capture.
Samsung also unveiled a new Gear VR at the event, which will support Note7 along with the older phones. The new Gear VR will have both USB C and micro USB support with the improved experience.
While the phone will start shipping from 19 August pricing is left to everyone's imagination. But given the feature set available in the phone it won't be priced less than $700. Note7 will be available in 4 colors Black Onyx, Blue Coral, Gold Platinum, and Silver Titanium.

So for my 1 night in Nagoya, I stayed in a cheap business hotel. During midnight while I was in my room, I could hear noises like doors closing. Didn't bother me much as it wasn't too loud.
But in the morning at 6am when I got up and started preparing, while using the hairdryer, I heard 3 knocks on the wall. Probably woke up the guy next door.
It's a 4 hour long Shinkansen ride from Nagoya to Hakata. Which is why I got up early.
Arriving at Hakata, I stored my bags in a coin locker at the station.
I had a few hours to kill before my beer tour in the Asahi beer factory. So I walked down to Canal City, had breakfast, and decided to watch the movie, Hyouka.
The tickets here are a little more expensive than in Singapore. And because of this, I thought there would be less commercials at the beginning.
I thought wrong.
And the other mistake I made was not checking how long the movie was.
I ended up late and missed my scheduled tour at the beer factory.
I called them up to see if there was another tour after my slotted time or if I could just tour the place myself but was told not possible.
With the factory tour plans cancelled, I went to Tenjin area for lunch and window shopping.
Walked around before deciding on a hamburger steak restaurant.
My un-Japanese way of entering the restaurant and communicating with the staff probably gave it away that I am a foreigner. But instead of giving me an English menu, she gave me a Korean menu. I asked for a Japanese one instead.
I suppose there are lots of Korean tourists in the area.
When food was served, the guy seemed to say something to me in Japanese in their native speed so I couldn't catch what he was saying.
I poured a little bit of the sauce onto the hamburger steak and started eating. As I looked around the restaurant, a sign on the wall says not to put the sauce onto the steak.
That's definitely what he was saying, I thought to myself while embarrassed.
Did some more window shopping until evening where I met another couple from my FFXI days for dinner and drinks.
They both have quit FFXI and moved on to FFXIV.
Similar to my second trip to Japan, I spent the night at a 24 hour manga cafe. This time I opted for a flat space but I think I should've gotten the reclining chair one as it's more comfortable sleeping on a cushioned seat than the hard wooden floor.
If I remember correctly, it was around 3000 yen for a 10 hour package.
You can tell there are a lot of other people using the place as a cheap hotel from all the snoring.

Letter to
The New York Times,
October 26, 2006
Re: "Begorrah! Irish Cops, Yet Again" by Dan Barry,
though he bemoans the ubiquity of the brawling Irish cop in popular entertainment,
Mr. Barry owes Tinseltown a debt of thanks.
As stereotypes go,
this one is as complex as it is ruggedly benign.
Hollywood hasn't created a billion dollar industry dedicated to churning out
Celtic Godfathers, Goodfellas or Sopranos.
Nor is the intelligentsia enamored of gangsters
or corrupt political figures whose families hail from County Cork.
For all his surly ways,
the lawman with a brogue remains an iconic figure--the quintessential,
if conflicted,
American good guy.
Sean Connery's Jim Malone evinces ethnic disdain toward Italians
in "The Untouchables,"
while Matt Damon's Colin Sullivan--"The Departed's" corrupt Celtic cop--has a field day
skewering Italians in his Boston Irish accent.
Thanks to the persistence of anti-Italian imagery in popular culture,
audiences associate malevolence with those loutish bad guys
whose surnames end in a vowel.

Dear Sally,
My husband just left for basic a week ago. We've been living together for three years, married for one month. I am having a really difficult time coping with him being away. I haven't gotten a phone call or letter or anything yet. Can you offer any advice or help?
Brand New MilSpouse
Dear Brand New MilSpouse,
First let me welcome you to an amazing community and your new crazy, wonderful military life!! Even though I have been a military spouse for what seems like a thousand years… I do remember what it felt like to be brand new to this life. I remember the first time my husband was gone for military training. I remember how difficult it was. I remember the worry, the stress… fearing the unknown. And I just want to give you a big hug.
As a seasoned spouse though, I can also tell you that I still struggle when my husband is gone. There are still difficult times. I still worry, there is still stress, and I still fear the unknown. I don't tell you that to cause you further distress… but to let you know that even though you are brand new to this life, there are so many others in the same boat. We get it. We understand. We are here for you.
That is probably not much comfort right this very minute though, is it? No. You are looking for words of wisdom, answers, something, ANYTHING, to help you cope. And you want to know when to expect that first letter! I'm afraid I don't have an answer for that, but I do think I may have a few pieces of advice that I wish I had known when I was a brand new spouse.
1) Find other military spouses, they understand better than anyone else can.
If he just left for basic, you may not be near an installation. It may be hard to find people in your physical town that know exactly what you are going through. You may have to start online, which can be tricky. But there are some amazing support groups through social media. The minute you see spouses engage in gossip, bullying, or child-like behavior… just move on. I promise you that is not a good representation of our community as a whole. Move on and find a group of spouses who really just want to support each other. As always, keep following us here at Military Spouse; on Facebook, twitter (@milspousemag) and of course our awesome boards on Pinterest (@milspousemag). In addition we are sending you a subscription to the magazine… every month I still learn something new about this life from flipping through the pages!
2) You are allowed to worry, stress, or be upset.
'Normal' people get married and then they actually live with their spouses. I mean you probably wouldn't have married him if you didn't want to spend your life with him, right? Well military couples know a very different reality, and it is OKAY to feel upset about it. Sure, you are new and he may 'just' be at basic training… but this is not what you are used to and it can be an adjustment. Sometimes allowing ourselves to FEEL the emotion and not hope for it to go away can help us get THROUGH the emotion. So don't beat yourself up for not being able to cope. You miss him. That is a GOOD thing.
3) Learn what is available, and utilize it!
There are many support services and resources available to military families. You may not be near an installation right now, but chances are if your husband is going to be active duty you will end up at one. Every installation offers programs and classes for spouses. These programs will give you vital information about military life in general, your particular installation, and the surrounding area. Go to every single one you can manage! In the meantime keep checking out our 'New Spouse' resources here at Military Spouse!
4) Get busy!
This is the best piece of advice I can offer you, honestly. Yes, your life may change a LOT because of your husband's new career. Supporting him in what he does is important… but so is making sure that you are still involved in the things you love, pursuing your own dreams and goals, and taking care of YOU. It can be tempting to kind of isolate yourself and get drawn into a life of sadness when your spouse is gone. I have been there. What I found to be a much better coping mechanism was to realize that even when my husband is gone, I still have to live life! And he would not want it any other way. If you are not working, consider looking for a part-time job or finding a place to volunteer. Working or not, accept that invitation to the movies or coffee with friends. Maybe there is a new skill or hobby you would like to learn? Is there a project you could get excited about completing? Stay busy and the time will go by faster… but your husband will also know that you can be happy without him there. That is also a GOOD thing.
Again, welcome to the military spouse community… you are now a part of an incredible, diverse, supportive and strong group of people. I know that you can DO THIS! Find a few amazing milspouse friends, don't shy away from your feelings, use your resources and get busy… in a year I just know you will be looking back at pride with how far you have come!

A Couple of Bits of News.
RHPG announces Lara Adrian chain story
Paranormal authors come together for the Random House Publishing Group's first fan-driven, multi-author, chain story eBook: A GLIMPSE OF DARKNESS. Lara Adrian, Harry Connolly, Lucy A. Snyder, Kelly Meding, and Stacia Kane lend their unique talents to the tale of Munira, a "retriever" of magical items in the fictional city of Port Nightfall. The daughter of a djinn, Munira is contacted by the most powerful sorcerer in the city, the wily Temesis who makes her an offer she can't refuse: steal the Light of Ta'lab from an evil necromancer or he will kill her father! Fans will have the opportunity to vote on the choices Munira makes in the story via Suvudu.com, and each new section (penned by the various authors), will reflect the fans' voices. The short story begins on Monday, September 20, 2010 and, once completed, will be available for download as a ¢99 eBook.
This one sounds interesting but you won't see me voting I'm afraid. The mood I'm in at the moment, the story could go in some peculiar directions... I may have posted this a little later than I intended but at least you've got some story already up on the site to read now :o)

Does anyone know if Brandon will be able to sign "Way of Kings" on these stops for "Midnight"?
I'm going to call the store in advance to be sure, but I thought I'd find out what's normal for events like this these days. A lot of times I've seen the host store require that you purchase the books from their store, otherwise you cannot get them signed. That seems fair, but Brandon has a lot of books out now and repurchasing books for autographing isn't an option - practically and economically for me anyway.
Any information as to how these store sponsored events work nowadays would be appreciated.

Brandon will definitely sign tWoK as well as any other of his backlist titles (including TGS, but no WoT novels that he didn't help write). The store will have a bunch for purchase but he has no problem signing anything fans bring in.

The long rumored PlayStation Phone is real?
Back in September Sony still denied that there will be PlayStation Phone. Now Engadget got several photos and some technical details about the PlayStation Phone from Sony Ericsson. The Android 3.0 based gaming phone would run on a 1Ghz Qualcomm CPU and feature a slide-out gamepad. The Gamepad shown in the leaked prototype photos are clearly resembling that of a PlayStation controller. Sony Ericsson might not call this device a PlayStation Phone, but it is one.
The PlayStation Pohone is supposed to link up to a Sony Marketplace for apps, mainly games i suppose.
Other features leaked of the PlayStation phone include 3.7-4.1-inch screen, 1GB ROM, 512MB RAM and microSD card slot.
If Sony Ericsson is still launching the PlayStation Phone in 2010 is not likely. I am also not that excited about it yet. It will take more than a slide-out gamepad to compete with a standard Android phone or the iPhone.

Director: Harry Macqueen
Original Title: Hinterland
Country of Production: United Kingdom
British ultra-low budget independent film is firmly back on the map with a stroke of the near impossible landing itself on big screens across the country. The stroke of this impossibility is achieving what Harry Macqueen has just shown by producing, writing, directing and starring in his own work: a mature and heart capturing piece of drama. Forgetting the thorny logistics of low-budget film production and inevitable few blemishes that struggle to hide themselves, the film stands alone as an incredibly well thought out and paced exploration of friendship and undiscovered love. It is lyrical and enchanting every step of the way. The few imperfections only serve to bolster the quality of this tender portrait that inherently blurs the cinematic boundaries and makes for a truly singular indie outing.
Harvey (Harry Macqueen) picks up his old friend Lola (Lori Campbell) from a pals burnt out apartment and sets forth on a road trip in the old reg. handed down from the parents. Cornwall is the destination and warm Dartmoor ponies, cliff-top panoramas, and melodies around the fire are just some of the delights that await the couple. However, a couple they are not to be even if such thoughts riddle under the surface. What plays out is a wonderful exposition of a beautiful friendship occurring between two members of the opposite sex.
Harvey and Lola enjoy each others company and are visibly in need of one another, but their agendas, and means of searching for something in life that seems to be missing, emerge as slightly quailed. The truth might be that even if they were so fortunate as to open their arms in love, the complications of being in your twenties and finding one's grounding in a strange world would quickly offset things. It creates a complex of existential angst that can be felt in the running commentary of what feels like a critique of the new generation, the ennui and complexity that we have been left to face. However, such ideas are never forced in the film and given ample space for reflection.
Nostalgia beams from nearly every interaction in this film. In particular, Harvey looks to spend a great deal of time in a state of intense reflection. Scenes will fall off and be carried in a different direction by dialogue that arguably is too well intended for its own good. It's as if we are overhearing a real conversation, yet cinema has a spell of rendering such realism superficial. Drama needs some drama, to speak in too simpler terms. I can't articulate an answer for this explanation, as it would need to involve a dissertation on the art of the actor in some way or another! As evidence from this writing, one can take this film any which way. The beauty of such effortless moments is that there can be no definite answer to what a character believes or is thinking at any given time. We don't all possess the skillset of a wizard like Darren Brown. In a film like Hinterland, you decide how to imagine.

The Japanese youth have their own peculiar taste in fashion. They popularized many of the world famous pop culture such as anime, online games, mangas, and mobile phones, to name a few.
The attached YouTube video shows a new fashion craze that is becoming popular among the teens--the LED smile!
What is that?
These are new fashion accessories for your teeth that glow in the dark.
These "fronts" emit luminous multicolored LED lights that can be easily attached to your teeth and change to varying colors while you smile.
According to a report by the The New York Times, the colors can be controlled remotely by a computer interface.
The latest fashion craze was conceived as an experiment by two Japanese designers--Motoi Ishibashi and Daito Manabe. The accessories are now being used as an advertising gimmick by Laforet Harajuku for its winter clothes sale.
Workshops in Japan are being offered by Mr. Ishibashi and Mr. Manabe to show people how they can create their own LED smiles.
So, let's see these Japanese schoolgirls "partying their mouth" as they wander along the streets flashing that luminous grin. I want to have one. Enjoy!

Instagram – An undiscovered platform for sales and customer acquisition
Many business owners consider Instagram a tool for brand building and social engagement. Indeed, in its role as the main competitor to Snapchat, Instagram has a reputation of being light, fun and stunningly visual. Instagram sales is something usually not considered by sales teams.
Some business owners who are looking for new avenues to acquire customers might scoff at the idea of using Instagram. "Oh, come on. That's just something my kids use to follow music stars and show off what they had for lunch." However, Instagram is one of the most rapidly growing social media platforms for lead generation and customer acquisition. According to a recent infographic at Buffer social, 78% of consumers make purchases based on a brand's social media account, 70% have already looked up the brand on Instagram, 67% of consumers say detailed images strongly influence their purchasing decisions, and 37% of Instagram users follow 1 to 5 brand accounts. These are compelling numbers.
Instagram can be an excellent way to generate leads and drive sales growth. We at Daily News Digital Solutions work with Instagram every day for our clients. Here are 7 things that we've found:
7 Ideas For Sales On Instagram
Instagram is an engagement based platform
If your business relies on direct sales and pitches, Instagram is perfect for direct engagement. Engaging visuals and beautiful creatives open the door for you to start conversations with customers, and if your brand has a dedicated social team that can work with sales to pass opportunities, you can see amazing opportunities for success. Instagram is rapidly evolving into a platform for business professionals and sales. Sales teams that ignore Instagram do so at their own peril.
Instagram's visual format is easy for calls to action and other lead generation features
Designed for the mobile user, Instagram is perfect for the customer journey funnel. The Instagram user experience for e-commerce is also perfect to download eBooks, direct users to CTAs and get them to engage and carry out a call to action.
Instagram has all the great targeting features of Facebook
Instagram ad campaigns are built in the Facebook platform, so you get all the great Facebook targeting and ad features. Most of the Facebook ad types are available for Instagram ads. This is perfect for customer acquisition efforts aimed down to very precise demos, geos and market verticals.
Instagram is a visual, mobile based platform
Instagram's strict emphasis on mobile makes it ideal for videos and stunning creatives. This enables you to visually represent your business and differentiate yourself directly to customers, which strongly establishes your brand. Other platforms may enable you to do this, but Instagram is designed to do this.
Instagram is perfect for brands
With its emphasis on creative brand presentation, stories and hashtags, Instagram is ideal for today's brand-driven businesses. They can directly engage customers and make a case for their brands, while leveraging their unique value.
Instagram ties into CRMs with no difficulty
Instagram ties into CRMs such as Zoho, Microsoft Dynamics and other platforms via Zapier. If you use an end-to-end customer relationship solution, Instagram engagement data with individual customers can be easily tracked.
Instagram CPC is competitive with Google Adwords
Instagram CPCs, which are tied to those of Facebook's, are competitive with Google Adword CPCs. This Moz article provides an in-depth examination. We urge you to explore and test this issue for yourself, but Instagram and it's amazing targeting capabilities enable incredibly fine serving of ads to various demos.
Use Instagram For Sales Success
If your team has been given a budget for Adwords spend, you may want to look at Instagram instead, especially if your media is primarily visual. An article by Brandshark goes into a detailed analysis of Adwords vs Facebook, and includes Instagram in their analysis. Most Instagram CPCs are in the $1 to $3 dollar range. If your team incorporates Facebook as part of its strategy, including the use Instagram is a no-brainer. It's certainly worth testing based on your buyer personas and vertical.
Do you have questions on how to use Instagram on your marketing campaigns? We're here to help! Contact us.

Did Cameron Munter Say US Has Right To Interfere In Pak Affairs?Jan 9th, 2011 | By admin | Category: Dawn, The Nation, The News
A recent speech by Cameron Munter has taken on a life and a meaning all its own thanks to the 'spin doctors' at our media groups. Rather than reporting the actual statements, media groups are adding an interpretation of their own which reinforces predetermined ideas, but does not accurately reflect the statements of the American official.
As is well known by now, the new American Ambassador Cameron Munter in a speech at the Islamabad Programme in Global Studies, a think tank, included the following statement about US interest in Pakistan's economic affairs. A full transcript of the statement is available from the home page of the US Embassy web site. Now, let us consider this statement in its full context and not cut and pasted as it appears in the newspapers.
The second criticism is that we have been intrusive on financial and governance issues — that we have been demanding where we should be respectful. Well, the reality is that we are both. We are demanding and respectful. And we will continue to be so when defending or promoting rights and obligations that have been incorporated into multilateral agreements or are accepted universal principles.. But I would add that we make every effort to do so with full respect for and understanding of Pakistan's traditions, culture and legal and constitutional history.
If we seem intrusive, it is because we care. We are Pakistan's largest donor. Our aid comes as an outright grant of assistance, which is very different from offering loans that must be repaid. Therefore, we need to be sure that the American taxpayers sees that any foreign government, including yours, is making good use of its resources and responding effectively to its citizen's needs in a transparent and accountable manner. A large proportion of our aid projects, in fact, are built around the idea of helping Pakistani government institutions – be they federal, provincial, or local – become more responsive. We could just build roads or schools and be done with it. But how would they be sustained? Who would staff and maintain these structures in years to come? That is why we focus so much on helping Pakistan build effective state institutions and a robust economy.
The American Ambassador is clearly saying that, because the US is granting direct aid and not making loans to be repaid, they want to know that their money is not being misused. For a media that collectively seems to think the most important issue facing the nation is corruption, one might be forgiven for thinking such an assurance that the US is not willing to fund corruption would be welcomed. Furthermore, the Ambassador never says that the US has a 'right' to interfere – what he actually says is that the US may 'seem' intrusive because of its concerns, and then he explains why this is a mistaken impression. Actually the Ambassador says quite explicitly that even when the US gives some advice, it does so "with full respect for and understanding of Pakistan's traditions, culture and legal and constitutional history".
But it appears that another one of the media's bogey men is more easily attacked here – American interference. With the actual context of the statement now easily before our very eyes, let us review a sample of the headlines that have appeared in popular newspapers:
The News (Jang Group): U.S has right to interfere in Pakistan's economic, governance affairs: Munter
The Nation: U.S has right to interfere in Pak affairs: Munter
Despite the alarmist headlines and the way the reporters and editors cut and pasted Ambassador Munter's statement, the fact is he never said US has a right to interfere in Pakistan's affairs. That never happened.
The closest to correct is Dawn's headline: Munter's blunt talk: we pay so we intrude, but even this article begins with a claim that "US Ambassador Cameron Munter has justified American meddling in Pakistan's 'financial and governance' matters for being its largest aid provider." By using words such as 'justified' and 'meddling', what we have here is the reporter, Baqir Sajjad Syed, inserting his own bias that does not appear in the transcript.
As is clear to anyone who will read the full speech, Ambassador Munter said that the US wants to be certain that Pakistan "is making good use of its resources and responding effectively to its citizen's needs in a transparent and accountable manner."
Again, with the constant refrain from Jang Group and The Nation that a culture of corruption in government is ruining the country, you would think these media groups would be cheering for Ambassador Munter's call for transparency and accountability.
Far from being a statement that the US has bought the right to interfere with Pakistan's affairs, Ambassador Munter sounds more like any responsible investor. Surely the US would not be providing billions to Pakistan if it did not believe the country will succeed. But like a man that invests in his brother's business, he wants to help his brother succeed not only by providing a financial investment but by giving some advice on how the investment can be used to maximize the return.
It should also be noted that none of the newspapers appear to have called the Embassy to ask for a clarification of the statement. Rather the reporters and editors simply cut and pasted the Ambassador's words and gave their own interpretation. In other countries, journalists will give the courtesy of contacting officials to get a statement and will print that statement in their article so that readers have all the facts and all sides of the story and can make up their own minds.
It appears that in this case, the news media has jumped on an opportunity to twist the words of an American diplomat to promote the belief that the US is duplicitous in its support for Pakistan. As happens far too often, once a transcript of a statement is reviewed, it becomes apparent that what is being reported is not objective facts but a political agenda. Perhaps Ambassador Munter should have chosen his words more carefully. Now that he has been introduced to the way our media is willing to twist people's words, he surely will the next time.

R.I.P. Dave Anderson (1961-2016)
Long before Portlandia was jokingly keeping the dream of the 1990s alive in Portland, Dave Anderson was keeping the Rose City weirdly comfortable for dreamers of all stripes. A quick-witted amiable voice for a generation who woke up watching him on TV, drove home from work listening to him on the radio and laughed at his stand-up comedy shows in clubs from Portland through the Pacific Northwest. Anderson — the co-host of KATU's "AM Northwest" morning show on ABC, co-host of the "Mark and Dave" radio show afternoons on KPAM 860 AM, and Portland's preeminent stand-up comedian — died Sunday from pancreatic...Read More

W3C Health Care and Life Sciences interest group. One of the results of that was a paper in the special issue around the semantic web conference at one of the bianual, national ACS meeting (look at this nice RDFa-rich meeting page!). My contribution was around the ChEMBL-RDF, which I recently finally published, though it was already described earlier in an HCLS note.
Anyway, when this paper reached the most viewed paper position in the JChemInf journal, and I tweeted that event, I was asked for an update of the linked data graph (the darker nodes are the twelve the LODD task force worked on). A good questions indeed, particularly if you consider the name, and that not all of the data sets were really Open (see some of the things on Is It Open Data?). UMLS is not open; parts of SIDER and STICH are, but not all; CAS is not at all, and KEGG Cpd has since been locked down. Etc. A further issue is that the Berlin node in the LODD network is down, which hosted many data sets (Open or not). Chem2Bio2RDF seems down too.
Bio2RDF is still around, however (doi:10.1007/978-3-642-38288-8_14). At this moment, it is a considerable part of the current Linked Drug Data network. It provides 28 data sets. It even provides data from KEGG, but I still have to ask them what they had to do to be allowed to redistribute the data, and whether that applies to others too. Open PHACTS is new and integrated a number of data sets, like ChEMBL, WikiPathways, ChEBI, a subset of ChemSpider, and DrugBank. However, it does not expose that data as Linked Data. There is also the new (well, compared to three years ago :) Linked Life Data which exposes quite a few data sets, some originating from the Berlin node.
Of course, DBPedia is still around too. Also important that more and more data bases themselves provide RDF, like Uniprot which has a SPARQL end point in beta, WikiPathways, PubChem, and ChEMBL at the EBI. And more will come, /me thinks.
I am aggregating data in a Google Spreadsheet, but obviously this needs to go onto the DataHub. And a new diagram needs to be generated. And I need to figure out how things are linked. But the biggest question is: where are all the triples with the chemistry behind the drugs? Like organic syntheses, experimental physical and chemical data (spectra, pKa, logP/logD, etc), crystal structures (I think COD is working on a RDF version), etc, etc. And, what data sets am I missing in the spreadsheet (for example, data sets exposed via OpenTox)?

I have enjoyed every single of the Ruiz Family shoots, from their wedding a few years ago to the many baby shoots that followed soon after. Lucy, their now 2 year old, has a mind of her own, and well, I don't think likes the camera. She LOVED the camera at 6 months and the camera loved her just as much. By our next shoot–she screamed at the sight of me with a camera to my face.
We had a lot of laughs and they all took it with great poise and laughs. Well, everyone but Lucy! ; )
