Reading the round-ups and predictions from content marketing experts from around the globe – we pick out five of the most commonly talked about content marketing trends for the future. What's for sure is that brands that think and act like publishers, use social on a more sophisticated level and create engaging content will stride ahead in 2014.
Create compelling content
With the rise of social and mobile users there is a growing need for more visual, consumable and entertaining content. Leading content marketing teams have ditched the traditional marketer and brochure-speak copy and have replaced them with journalists, writers and creatives from the media world to create their compelling content. Skype's Born Friends and Sainsbury's Christmas in a day YouTube videos are evidence that a good script, a qualified film-maker and great story telling are a winning combination for creating compelling content that people want to watch and share.
Make your content useful
Brands that stop talking about themselves and how great their products or services are will win the public's heart. Content should be truly useful. Brands that find a way to provide information, advice and assistance that their customers really need will receive the audience's trust, attention and custom. Leading US-based online cookware shop, Williams-Sonoma, is a great example of how to do this well. The carries great, original content – from its "Taste" blog with technique classes, cookie of the day recipes and how-to home tips – it's packed with useful information that doesn't require you to buy any of its products.
Become a publisher
Those in the know have predicted that brands will become publishers, will setup real newsrooms and start producing content like a publisher. Our Flockler platform will enable you to do just that. We help a range of brands to create, customize and publish social magazines, applications and websites that combine editorial, curated and social content. Take our recent collaboration with Random House Group to create The Happy Foodie the digital, social magazine. Its content is produced on a schedule, with regular slots such as news and features, video-logs from famous chefs and easy to use recipes. Content planning tools, like Divvy HQ, are essential to enable your team to think and act like a true publisher. The US-based Content Marketing Institute has published some very helpful tips on how to put together an editorial calendar.
Personalise your content
Personalising your online content and social interactions will become easier and more common in 2014. Major retailers, such as the youth fashion brand ASOS see it as part of its strategy and future success. It uses clever technology that understands what users have searched for, saved for later, colour and size preferences and serves them up relevant offers and content. New, accessible and cost-effective personalisation tech is available from companies like Evergage so you can do this with your content too. Brands using social media 2014 will tailor their content for different audiences such as using geo-targeting tech. Twitter will lead the way to enable even the smaller brands to do this.
Socialise your content
Top US content marketing guru, Jay Baer, says that if "Content is fire. Social media is gasoline". He advises his clients to use social to drive awareness of their content not their company. In a recent blog he dispels many of the myths held about social media and content marketing. Ultimately social media is all about engaging with and rewarding your existing customers. It's about creating warmth for and recognition of your brand. It should not be seen as a bolt-on channel but an integral part of your content marketing campaign and the voice of your brand. The Virgin Atlantic Facebook campaign, launched in the summer of 2013, is an example of how to do social well. It asked its followers to create a virtual postcard of a destination they were going to or would like to go to. It had 2,700 fans take part – which led to Virgin's brand impressions being seen by more than a quarter of a million Facebook friends.

We offer CEREC dentistry in Chester. This is a new technology that many people are unfamiliar with. It is both fast and effective, making it ideal for our busy patients. To learn more about the process, here is what you need to know:
CEREC® vs. Traditional Restorative Dentistry
If you live in Chester and one or more of your teeth need restoring, the most favorable options now available to you is CEREC® dentistry. CEREC®, which stands for CEramic REConstruction, is a relatively new field of dentistry that uses a computer in both the design and manufacturing stages of dental restoration. If you have any teeth that are damaged or are simply dissatisfied with your smile, you should first look into CEREC® because it is a faster solution than traditional crowns or veneers.
Traditional Dental Impressions
In traditional restorative dentistry, a dentist will ask the patient to bite into a tray roughly matching the shape of the upper or lower jaw. The tray contains a semi-solid material that hardens in a few minutes and will provide a detailed negative imprint of the teeth and gums. We will then send the imprint to a dental laboratory where a plaster cast of the imprints will help make the prosthesis (in this example, a dental crown).
While the procedure is quite simple, most patients dislike it intensely. Not only does the impression material leave a bad taste in their mouth but many people have a gag reflex and have a hard time with the impressions of the upper jaw. Additionally, it is a time-consuming process. A new crown can take two to three appointments to be permanently affixed to the tooth, requiring most people to take some time off of work.
CEREC® Dental Impressions
The CEREC® technique does away with the messy impression material, using a camera that takes a digital impression of the entire jaw, or just the teeth which need restoration. This entire process takes just a couple of minutes. Using special software, we can then convert the digital image into a 3-dimensional virtual model on the computer screen. We will then send the image to what is known as a milling machine, right there in the dental office. By offering CEREC dentistry, this is the first in several ways that we make it more comfortable to have a dental restoration.
Next, we will place a small block of ceramic that matches the exact shade of the patient's teeth in the machine that cuts the block down to the precise shape necessary. In anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes, we will be ready to bond the ceramic, tooth-colored, restoration into place. We will first ensure the restoration fits perfectly and will then make a small adjustment if necessary. After which we will polish the restoration and fix it into place.
The beauty of this system is that we can accomplish all of this in a single sitting. Traditional methods require multiple visits to the dentist to adjust the restorations. With the CEREC® method, patients can have inlays, onlays, and crowns fitted in a single appointment. The tooth, or teeth, are restored in a matter of a few hours, with no temporary or return trip necessary.
In some cases, CAD-CAM ceramic restorations can last just as long as any other type. So, if you live in the area and have lost or broken any of your teeth, the simplest and easiest fix is CEREC dentistry. Come and pay us one visit, and you can be out and about with a high quality, and lifelike dental restoration in one day.

The Insectoid is the other race included in the Knight to Remember tutorial adventure. We've encountered an Insectoid in the adventure path before – Vruxyx sought you out in Rogue in the Woods. Insectoids are the fast, mobile counterpart to the Formians; their great size belies surprising speed and quickness. Insectoids also have an unusual history; once an innumerable race of drones controlled by a hivemind, the destruction of their central intelligence inflicted individuality and consciousness upon each individual member of the race.
Before the coming of Man, the Insectoid race was as one, unified under the great hiveminds of Xzzryxy. Thinking as one, acting as one, existing as one, Insectoids spread across the whole of Ceyenus. The enormity of their civilization made their shattering all the more tragic. Where there had only been one voice, suddenly a cacophony. The shock of sudden individuality was too much for most, killing many and driving others mad. Those who survived did not fare better, being immediately enslaved by Man.
The descendants of those survivors have made a life for themselves within the Deep Wood. Insectoids do not have family units, preferring instead individual lives lived in close proximity to others of their kind. Despite this preference, Insectoids lack the territoriality that one might expect from such a large race, and it is commonplace for a group of Insectoids to live amongst other races.
The shattering of the Hivemind bestowed the curse of individual consciousness upon the Insectoid race, and the sudden realization of Man's infliction of mortality means that few Insectoids intentionally seek out adventure and glory.
Insectoids receive +1 to Wit or Response.
Insectoids have a Speed of 7.
All Insectoids have the following power:
Springy Leap
"From the Heavens
Move Action
Move up to your speed. At any point during the move, you may leap up to three squares, bypassing terrain (and adversaries) underfoot. This does not extend your movement range.
Physical traits
Insectoids are typically 6'1" – 7'10" tall and weigh between 170 and 220 lbs. They have six legs, four lower legs which they use for locomotion, and two upper appendages with complex claws for grasping and manipulation.
Their large mandibles mean that Insectoids lack the physiological means to speak. Instead, they communicate by broadcasting their thoughts into nearby minds. Though it is unsettling to those unaccustomed to it, this is not a subtle act; much like spoken word, everyone within range will receive the transmission.
Insectoids live an average of 50-70 years
Reluctant heroes, those Insectoids found adventuring are driven by a force which outweighs their tendency toward self-preservation. This motivation might be personal in nature, such as a friend in need, or it might be larger than life, like seeking to reforge the hivemind.
Why Play an Insectoid
Insectoids are great for players who want a character who wrestles with their inner nature, who becomes a hero in spite of themselves, not because of who they are.

Info:Re-Read Challenge 2009
This month:Re-Read Challenge: May!
GENRE: Romance / Historical
PUBLISHED: Avon Books, 2000
SERIES: "Bridgerton" series, #2
AVAILABILITY: still available
The back blurb:
"1814 promises to be another eventful season, but not, this Author believes, for Anthony Bridgerton. London's most elusive bachelor, who has shown no indication that he plans to marry.
And in all truth, why should he? When it comes to playing the consummate rake, nobody does it better…
–Lady Whistledown's Society Papers, April 1814
But this time the gossip columnists have it wrong. Anthony Bridgerton hasn't just decided to marry–he's even chosen a wife! The only obstacle is his intended's older sister, Kate Sheffield–the most meddlesome woman ever to grace a London ballroom. The spirited schemer is driving Anthony mad with her determination to stop the betrothal, but when he closes his eyes at night, Kate's the woman haunting his increasingly erotic dreams…
Contrary to popular belief, Kate is quite sure that reformed rakes do not make the best husbands–and Anthony Bridgerton is the most wicked rogue of them all. Kate's determined to protect her sister–but she fears her own heart is vulnerable. And when Anthony's lips touch hers, she's suddenly afraid she might not be able to resist the reprehensible rake herself…"
The Viscount Who Loved Me was my first novel by Julia Quinn (Feb. 2001). I know I thought the way it was written refreshing: it was fun and humorous and I didn't mind its "modern" tone. I loved this novel. That is, the first part. I lost some of my interest during the second part (last third of the novel) though I still liked it. The story got darker and I think I hadn't a lot of patience for why the two didn't just admit their love already. And yet, I still call The Viscount Who Loved Me one of my favorite Bridgerton novels.
What better way than this challenge to find out if that is still true?
Now (somewhat spoilerish maybe)
The Viscount Who Loved Me follows well-known story paths. Or perhaps it's better to say: the story paths in this novel are well-known because many stories after this novel used them?
Anyway, we have Kate Sheffield, aging spinster sister to the belle of the season, Edwina Sheffield; Kate Sheffield who nevertheless still loves her sister; Kate Sheffield who says this about Anthony Bridgerton, well-known rake, on the lookout for a wife and settling on Edwina Sheffield because she's regarded as the belle of the season:
Don't be silly. I don't even know the man. And if I did, I would probably run in the opposite direction. He is exactly the sort of man the two of us should avoid at all costs. He could probably seduce an iceberg." (12)
"You are not to have anything to do with Viscount Bridgerton. Everyone knows he is the worst sort of rake. In fact, he's the worst rake, period. In all London. In the entire country!" (19)
We all know how that is going to turn out.
And we have Anthony who has a handy list of requirements for what his wife should be like:
First, she ought to be reasonable attractive.
Second, she couldn't be stupid
Third–and this was the most important–she couldn't be anyone with whom he might actually fall in love.
We all know how that–especially #3– is going to turn out. (#3 is also the stumbling block on the road to HEA and turns the last third of the novel into something more serious than what came before.)
Kate and Anthony meet for the first time:
Anthony belatedly realized that Miss Sheffield had held her hand to him, as was only polite. He took it and brushed a light kiss across her gloved knuckles. "Miss Sheffield," he murmured unthinkingly, "you are as lovely as your sister."
If she had seemed uncomfortable before, her bearing now turned downright hostile. And Anthony realized with a mental slap that he'd said exactly the wrong thing. Of course he should not have compared her to her sister. It was the one compliment she could never have believed.
"And you, Lord Bridgerton," she replied in a tone that could have frozen champagne, "are almost as handsome as your brother." (39/40)
Kate and Anthony seem to be at odds every time they are in close company. Early in their acquaintance Anthony admits to Kate the he can't seem to help himself where she is concerned: he just has to bait her.
And so, from their first meeting, the baiting and fun just goes on: the walk with Kate's dog Newton that has Anthony running in a park and ending with him wet, Kate hiding in Anthony's study to avoid him only to be discovered by him, the Pall Mall game and the mallet of Death, the bee sting,… There are lots of scenes and funny lines worth quoting in this novel.
But amidst all the hilarity – The Viscount Who Loved Me is often laugh-out-loud fun – there is room for unsettling and poignant realizations:
Anthony felt as if he'd been punched in the gut. He fought the most ridiculous impulse to leap forward and grab the key from the carpet, to get down on one knee and hand it to her, to apologize for his conduct and beg her forgiveness.
But he would do none of those things. He did not want to mend this breach; he did not want her favorable opinion.
Because that elusive spark–the one so noticeably absent wit her sister, whom he intended to marry–crackled and burned so strongly it seemed the room ought to be as light as day. (116)
He might have been a rake and a rogue–he might still be a rake and a rouge–but clearly his behavior to those ends did not define the man. And the only objection Kate had to his marrying Edwina was…
She swallowed painfully. There was a lump the size of a cannonball in her throat.
Because deep in her heart, she wanted him for herself. (202)
and quite and connecting moments, like when Anthony finds Kate terrified and paralyzed by fear because of a thunderstorm.
And then, in a twist of fate, Kate finds herself married to Anthony, and it's time for the last third of the novel, the part I so far thought less enjoyable.
The story now concentrates on Anthony's reason why he doesn't want to fall in love with his wife (rule #3). This fact of their married life – that there never will be love between them – is something Anthony tells Kate in no uncertain terms in a conversation before the wedding. Only, against her better judgement and fear of always being second in her life to someone else, Kate finds herself falling more and more in love with her husband. The novel, while keeping up the fun turn of phrases, turns rather dark and serious underneath while Anthony battles his demons and learns about the nature of love.
This time around, I really appreciated what was done in the last third of the novel though I still find it different. What begins as a light, fun, and hilarious story of two people finding themselves attracted to each other against their will and battling against it for all they are worth, is now a story of two people trying to find their way in a marriage that is supposed to be based on friendship, only to learn that love can't be governed by the mind. Love will find a way and knows no rules. And for that other look at love and romance, I now love the second part of this novel as well.
Verdict: Reading The Viscount Who Loved Me for this challenge made this novel "whole" for me. (5/5)

I'm still laboring over my silly little 15-20 minute presentation. I'm VERY pleased that last week I collected detailed screen shots of everything I wanted to show because now one of the catalogs I was going to use as an example is off line! (I was originally inspired to go the full screen shot route rather than live demo because of a couple of spectacular failures I saw recently at another conference.)
Luckily, after Thursday morning I won't have to slog away at this any more. It's all a head game, I know. If I hadn't been surprised to see my name listed as one of the two-person KEYNOTE panel at the conference (when I'd thought it was just any old panel discussion) I'd have finished the stupid thing by now. What I'd give for a brain transplant some days. All I want is to be brilliant, confident, and witty, and I suppose charming wouldn't be a bad idea either… Is that too much to ask?
What a way to enter into the conference presentation arena… I've never presented at an event before.
On a happier note, my mom and dad and wonderful, huge, 100-pound dog are going to be arriving any second now, and they're staying until Sunday. I just hope the dog and the cat can make peace by then, though that's doubtful. I can see it all now: after two days of them going after each other my neighbors will collectively petition to have me evicted.

Virgin Care provide some adult community services across parts of Surrey and North East Hampshire. We provide a wide range of services including community nursing and wheelchair services among others. We began providing these services in 2012.
A wide variety of NHS services sit within the term 'community services'. In very simple terms it means all the services that aren't delivered in a large hospital (secondary care) or classed as primary care (like GP practices and urgent care centres).
We provide similar services across the country, where we've invested significantly in bringing services together and improving the experience for the people who use our services.
Our aim
The aim of our community services and teams is to work together with other organisations to provide you with the care you need close to, or in your home as a seamless experience, regardless of who in the NHS is actually looking after you.
Our staff have the skills and experience to make a real difference, so we empower them to challenge 'the way things have always been done'. We're also providing them with the latest tools, such as mobile working solutions, to give them more time with people using our services and make our service as safe as possible.

Some BULTACO Motorcycle Manuals PDF are above the page.
In 1958, the talented designer Moto firm Montesa, (Manuals PDF page) Francisco Bulto decided to establish motokompaniyu later became the most famous motokompaniey in Spain. The name he made his name «Bultaco». The first time the production was located in a small house in the village of Adrian De Besos on the outskirts of Barcelona.
The first road motorcycles, released this motokompaniey have small capacity engines. Until 1969 produced a model with single-cylinder two-stroke engines of 125 or 250sm3, and only later, the company has developed a motorcycle with an engine capacity of 350 cm3, and air-cooled.
In 1962 he was defeated in the Spanish Grand Prix motocross in a class of 250 cm3. But in 1965 there was a tragedy that almost forced Francisco Bulto withdraw from the world of racing. On a motorcycle issued by his firm crashed and killed a talented rider Ramon Torres. Despite this, in 1967 the company came finest hour: at the finish of the TT series, all three first places were taken by 3 motorcycle «Mantrilla», which were presented in the class of 250 cm3.
In the history of the legendary motorcycle company «Bultaco» became the Irishman Sammy Miller, who in 1964 drew to Bulto bike capable of winning, so was created «Sherpa». From 1975 to 1979, this model has five times won the world championships for endurance.
In 1979, due to difficulties with the sale of the company «Bultaco» closes its plant for the production of motorcycles. In 1980, the work of the plant was briefly revived until 1983. «Bultaco» again struck motomire creating an experienced motorcycle «Sherco» with an engine capacity of 250 cm3. In this light motorcycles Graham Jarvis won the Scottish six-day race.
Later Motoplant «Bultaco» was bought by concern «Derbi» (PDF Manuals page), so authentic motorcycles of this company does not exist with the closing of the plant in the 1980s. Despite this, the world is still a lot of clubs fans of the brand "Bultaco".

Extra Care
Gathering residents' experience of living in extra care housing in Lambeth
Our Extra Care Review used Enter and View to visit five of the borough's extra care housing schemes to find out whether residents have a good quality of life.
Why extra care housing?
We chose to focus on extra care housing because:
- there is very little information available about the quality and safety of these types of services
- demand for these services is increasing with an ageing population and increase in conditions like dementia
- Lambeth Council is planning to expand extra care provision
- the visits build on our earlier review of dementia services in Clapham Park and our investigations into loneliness and isolation.
We wanted to find out whether extra care residents:
- have a good quality of life
- are able to maintain their independence and be safe
- feel they have a good social life and feel connected to their community.
The film
Our short film funded by Health Innovation Network South London, features Kath, Stephen, Eileen, Aba and Gwen talking about their daily lives in extra care.
Who we listened to
In total, we heard from 52 residents in one-to-one conversations or group discussions, 16 family members, 22 care staff and 17 stakeholders with management or support functions.
We found that:
- These services generally offer a good level of care, but some care needs to be more attentive and joined up, and some carers felt under pressure time-wise.
- Extra care buildings are safe and fit for purpose, but not fully dementia friendly.
- Communal spaces are under-used and activities programmes are not as successful as they could be.
- Many extra care residents seemed lonely and isolated (as reflected in some of the comments in our film) and we didn't find much community spirit.
We concluded that extra care services have the potential to offer residents a good quality of life, but services need to provide the right support to help people make the most of opportunities.
How we are making a difference
In autumn 2016, we invited all Lambeth's extra care residents to an afternoon tea at Helmi House. We wanted to find out how residents were feeling one year on from our review.
In response to our findings, in spring 2016, Lambeth Council had provided a grant to each extra care scheme for activities. We wanted to know what difference the grants may have begun to have.
Participants at our tea and chat event told us about a range of activities they already enjoy and also had plenty of ideas about what else they would like to see, showing real appetite for more socialising and opportunities to play an active part in the community.
In the lead up to the event, we also asked a songwriter and residents from one of the schemes to write a song on the theme of 'being connected' which they performed on the day. We filmed the making of the song and produced a short update report, calling on commissioners to track activity programmes at the schemes to make sure they deliver for residents and build links with the neighbourhood.
The film
Clarence Avenue extra care residents and Paxton Green Timebank volunteers come together to write and perform a song about "being connected".

While looking for a good child care, Beacon Hill has one of the best options for your child. You would have run into several articles describing the disadvantages of putting your child in Child Care Centres. This is a cause for concern for parents all around the world. In this essay, we'll discuss these disadvantages and the ways in which you could handle and overcome the negative areas of day care.
Recent research performed by the University of Sydney reasoned that children who were placed in Child Care Centres in an incredibly early age showed lower levels of social skills and academic competence with a rise in behaviour routines that were problematic. Youngsters who've experienced full time day care from the time they were infants, were found to hold on to their own perspectives while showing no interest and aggressiveness in resolving disagreements. Interestingly, the study credited this to the extended time spent in Day Care and not form or the quality of attention.
The other criticisms that are common are the exorbitant price of child care, dearth of personalized attention, health and security concerns, high ratio of health professional and child in large groups, under-paid staff leading to high attrition, etc.
But, take heart, these are issues which can be set by a good-organized authorized Day Care Centre.
Of late, the emphasis is on early childhood education and accredited and most authorized Day Care Centres have a curriculum suited to every kid's age aimed at providing an early learning experience similar to preschool. There is growing evidence that children adapt to ordered learning methods at a very young age so an excellent Day Care Centre may turn out to be your baby's first school!
In two income families, it is difficult for one parent to remain at home to take good care of of the youngster. There are many alternatives to full time work.
Your spouse and by doing this you could take care of the kid most of the day and just leave the child to get a few hours in the Day Care Centre. You may also opt to talk about jobs with others who've similar problems where you get paid half the wages and benefits for sharing half the work. Without losing your entire income, this could free up considerable time.
Part time and work from home jobs may also be viable options.
People who are expecting a baby soon can consider trying to reside within one income and put aside the second income completely. This may get you used to living with just one income as well as the savings should come in handy for the months following your baby's birth.
Additionally, there are tax rebates and advantages made available from the authorities for parents who have kids in child care which could bring down the price burden.
Prior to finalizing the Day Care Centre, make several visits to detect how a Center is being run, inquire about job satisfaction amongst the staff, scrutinize the toilets and nappy changing areas for hygiene, discuss with other parents and communicate with the children, gauge the communication skills of the caregivers by speaking to them, etc.
All authorized Day Care Centres come under the purview of the authorities and conform strictly to rules and regulations particularly with regard to qualifications of staff, space requirements, hygiene, and handling of crises.
With a tiny bit of effort, it is possible to balance work and the time you spend together with your son or daughter. By picking a licensed Day Care Centre and working closely together with the child care providers, you can circumvent most of the hurdles of Child Care. It's simply the truly lucky few who can afford to quit their jobs and stay at home just as a baby comes along. And though it is an undisputed fact that the sort of personalized attention and care given by way of a parent at home cannot be reproduced in a Child Care Centre, it could be the next best thing to your child if chosen with care.

Lorain, Conneaut and Toledo receive $9.9M for river restoration efforts
LORAIN, Ohio — Three northern Ohio cities have received nearly $10 million for a river restoration project.
The state Department of Natural Resources requested the state Controlling Board issue $9.9 million for the cities of Lorain and Conneaut along with the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority.
Lorain received $4 million to build the Black River Dredge Reuse Facility to recycle sediment dredged from the river.
Another $4 million went to Conneaut for the Conneaut Creek Dredge Material Facility. Officials plan to use recycled sediment for capping a brownfield site and other projects.
The Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority plans to spend $1.9 million to upgrade its disposal dike, expanding its capacity by 1 million more cubic yards.
U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur says the projects are vital to "modernizing" the area's "waterway infrastructure."

Welcome to the first ever Colorless Art Book Project!
I know it's been a while since I posted stuff for this, but real life has been a bit busy, so it is what it is.
At any rate, this will be a rather long-term project, lasting until next year, so hopefully we can create a lot of awesome artwork for it!
There will be several categories in this book:
Server-kun and Server-tan Section: Within this section, you may dress them up in various outfits from the following categories: folklore, mythology, history, national/traditional dress (for example, a kimono, a hanbok, or something of the sort), job cosplay, and fantasy/sci-fi cosplay.
Staff/user Artwork: In this, you may draw versions of yourselves or your fellow users on CL- for instance, drawing a picture of @Kip and myself as the "No Fun Police", @Kirn wielding his trusty shovel, or @DarkChaplain and @Warlock being nerds.
Sketches and Doodles: Having a "bad art day" or don't have much confidence in your artwork? It's fine, just sketch and doodle some stuff and submit it here. MS Paint and silly art are included.
Short Comics Section: In this, you may draw comics from 1-5 pages in length featuring the server avatars, users, or staff. 4-koma comics are also welcome! (and the previous entries will be included, as well.)
Now for the part everybody "loves".
You must create your own art. Collaborations are acceptable, and encouraged. If you have created a picture of Server-kun, Server-tan, or another user in the past and you wish to include it, that's alright as well.
Ask people before you draw them. If somebody doesn't want to be included in the artbook, don't be a jerk and draw them despite their protests.
Except for the sketch/doodle section, try your best. No half-assery.
No copyrighted material. However, if you have a question about this, ask me.
Digital and traditional artwork is acceptable. Just try to make sure the image is as clear as possible.
No NSFW images. That means no nudity or ecchi-type pictures, at least for now.
If you have any questions, ask me. It's better to ask early than to ask late.
Read the rules and categories.
The due date is Monday, May 25, 2015.
Send submissions to me via PM, and feel free to post ideas in this thread~
You can now also send submissions to me at firstname.lastname@example.com !
Good luck, and have fun!

The Times of Israel liveblogged Tuesday's events as they unfolded.
Report says probe opened into Netanyahu stock deal with cousin; police deny
A report says police have collected testimony from a person who provided recordings and evidence regarding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's cousin, US businessman Nathan Milikowsky, suggesting a stock deal over a decade ago between Netanyahu and Milikowsky was "problematic."
Recent reports have suggested Netanyahu made a return of over 700 percent on the stocks in Seadrift, a company with ties to German shipbuilder Thyssenkrupp. Netanyahu bought the shares for $400,000 in 2007 and then sold them in 2010 to Milikowsky for $4.3 million. That dramatic profit has led to speculation of possible impropriety in Netanyahu's financial dealings.
The report by the Ynet news website claims police have initiated a probe into the matter, but the Israel Police denies that in a statement, saying that while it normally doesn't confirm or deny the opening of a probe or investigation, it chose to do so in this case due to its "sensitivity and public significance."
Netanyahu lashes out against Ynet, saying: "It seems there are some in the media who haven't yet accepted the election results. The days are over when fake news is published in the media to push for futile investigations against Prime Minister Netanyahu."

Notre Dame blaze being treated as accident, not arson: prosecutor
The Paris prosecutor says that investigators are treating the devastating fire at the Notre Dame cathedral as an accident, not arson.
"Nothing suggests that it was a voluntary act," Remy Heitz tells reporters outside the Gothic cathedral, adding that workers employed at the site are being questioned over the blaze.
United Torah Judaism gains Knesset seat at Likud's expense: final tally
The Central Elections Committee publishes final results from last week's election and says United Torah Judaism (UTJ) has received an additional Knesset seat at the expense of Likud, as the ultra-Orthodox party claimed yesterday.
That means UTJ is now at eight seats in the 120-member Knesset, bringing Benjamin Netanyahu's ruling party down to 35 seats, the same number as its Blue and White rivals. The right-wing bloc, however, still has a 65-55 edge and seems certain to form the next government.
Pope calls for 'all to mobilize' to rebuild Notre Dame
Pope Francis says he hopes everyone will pull together to rebuild the devastated Notre Dame cathedral in Paris following a massive fire.
"I hope the Notre Dame cathedral may once again become, thanks to reconstruction work and the mobilization of all, a jewel in the heart of the city," Francis says in a statement issued by the Vatican.
Madrid skyscraper housing several embassies evacuated over bomb threat
A skyscraper in Madrid that houses the British, Dutch, Australian and Canadian embassies is being evacuated over a bomb threat, police say.
"A bomb threat was received…. Evacuation has started, we have to work and do checks," a police spokesman tells AFP.
Bahrain jails 138, strips them of nationality on terror charges
A Bahraini court has sentenced 138 people to between three-year and life jail terms and revoked their citizenship for terror-related charges, the public prosecutor says.
The defendants were convicted of establishing a terror cell with links to Iran's Revolutionary Guards, Ahmad al-Hammadi says in a statement.
A judicial source says all the defendants are members of the Shiite community in the Sunni-ruled Gulf state.
Final election results extinguish last Knesset hopes for New Right
Final election results published by the Central Elections Committee, to be presented to President Reuven Rivlin tomorrow, show that Education Minister Naftali Bennett and Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked's New Right party didn't make it into the Knesset.
The party has been working day and night since last Thursday, trying to close a gap of just 0.03%, or some 1,400 votes, needed to pass the 3.25% electoral threshold.
However, the committee says in a statement, even after letting party officials review hundreds of ballot boxes and take a look at results in individual polling stations, not only has the party's tally not increased — it has gone down by three votes.
'Some weaknesses' identified in Notre Dame structure after fire
"Some weaknesses" have been identified in the structure of the fire-ravaged Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, but overall the monument "is holding up ok," junior interior minister Laurent Nunez says.
"Some weaknesses have been identified, particularly in the vault and the gable of the northern transept, which have to be secured," Nunez tells reporters at the scene, adding that five neighboring buildings have been evacuated.
New Right criticizes 'rushed' statement on final election results
Naftali Bennett and Ayelet Shaked's New Right party slams the Central Election Committee for publishing final election results that leave it out of the next Knesset, saying the statement was "rushed" and that it is weighing its next move.
"There were gaps found in 8% of the ballot boxes, including unequivocal evidence of grave election fraud," the party says. "Unfortunately, we asked the committee to wait with the press release until the probe is over, but the urgency to publish was more important than sticking to the facts."
Instagram blocks accounts of IRGC commanders after US terror blacklisting
Social media site Instagram has deleted multiple accounts belonging to senior commanders in Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, including its commander Qassem Soleimani, according to various reports, after the United States officially recognizes it as a terror organization.
The official IRGC Instagram page is down, as are those of Soleimani, Brigadier Moussa kamali, Maj. Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari, Maj. Gen. Mohammad Bagheri and Brig. Gen. Ezatollah Zarghami.
Donations to rebuild Notre Dame top 600 million euros
Pledges from France's corporations and richest families to help rebuild the fire-ravaged Notre Dame cathedral in Paris have topped 600 million euros ($680 million), according to an AFP tally of donations announced so far.
The latest major contribution came from French cosmetics giant L'Oreal and its founding Bettencourt family, which gave 200 million euros to the reconstruction effort.
Netanyahu, Liberman meet, agree to start coalition negotiations tomorrow
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets Yisrael Beytenu party leader Avigdor Liberman ahead of coalition negotiations.
The two met today for a "calm" meeting focusing on security, church and state and immigration, Yisrael Beytenu says in a statement.
"The sides decided to start the negotiations immediately after President Reuven Rivlin tasks Netanyahu with forming the government."
That is scheduled to happen tomorrow evening.
Elected lawmakers to be sworn in on April 30 — Knesset statement
Elected members of the 21st Knesset will be sworn in on April 30 at 4 p.m., the Israeli parliament announces.
The law dictates the swearing in ceremony should take place 14 days after the elections, but the Knesset speaker uses his authority to delay it due to the Jewish festival of Passover and the Christian festival of Easter.
Conference of European Rabbis expresses solidarity after Notre Dame fire
The Conference of European Rabbis expresses solidarity with France and its Catholic community after a fire burns through the Notre Dame cathedral.
"Notre Dame of Paris is a symbol of human ingenuity and endurance, celebrating almost one thousand years of European and French culture, architecture and freedom," says Chief Rabbi of Moscow Pinchas Goldschmidt, the president of the Conference of European Rabbis.
"Places of worship are a bridge between our past and future, symbolizing the aspiration of man to reach new heights and spirituality. The Conference of European Rabbis expresses its solidarity with France and especially with its Catholic community following this devastating incident and wish them strength and hope," he adds.
Body of man, 38, found after he was missing for 2 weeks
A 38-year-old man's body is found in an open field near the Arab town of Kafr Qassem. The man had been missing for two weeks.
Police begin an investigation to determine the circumstances of the incident, with an initial probe raising a suspicion he was abducted and murdered, police say.
Reports say the background is likely a dispute within the local community.
The man worked as a waiter at a restaurant in Jaffa, and was reported missing by his family when he didn't show up for work.
Egypt court sentences Islamists to 5 years in prison
An Egyptian court has sentenced 36 people convicted of joining the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood organization to five years in prison.
The Alexandria criminal court also sentences the defendants to five years of probation. They were arrested in Alexandria in 2017.
The sentences can be appealed.
The Brotherhood won a series of free elections following Egypt's 2011 uprising but was branded a terrorist group after the military overthrew an elected but divisive Islamist president in 2013. Since then, courts have held mass trials and sentenced hundreds of people to death.
Rights groups have repeatedly criticized such mass sentencings in Egypt and called on authorities to ensure fair trials.
Gay Likud MK admits he doesn't think upcoming coalition will improve LGBT rights
MK Amir Ohana, the first openly gay lawmaker for the Likud party, admits in an interview with Army Radio that he doesn't foresee any change in LGBT rights in Israel in the upcoming 21st Knesset.
The governing coalition will include 16 ultra-Orthodox members and more religious Zionist MKs, which is likely to foil any attempt to improve LGBT rights.
"I would have wanted the coalition's opinion to be different," Ohana says.
Central Elections Committee blasts New Right for 'baseless' fraud claims
The Central Elections Committee responds to criticism by the New Right party over the "rushed" publication of final election results that leave it out of the next Knesset.
"The New Right's media statements are baseless and are made out of understandable distress," the committee says in a statement. "The claims are unfounded and are undermining public trust in the election results, as well as being inconsistent."
Second and last batch of Eurovision tickets go on sale

Tickets for the semifinal and final round next month in Tel Aviv went on sale at 6 p.m. (Israel time). Tickets for rehearsals — whose prices have gone down sharply — and for the Green Room during the final were already available for purchase.
PM ends meeting with URWP's Peretz, who wants education, justice portfolios
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu concludes a meeting with Rafi Peretz, head of the Union of Right-Wing Parties.
As the party stated before the elections, Peretz is asking for the education and justice portfolios, Likud says in a statement.
Netanyahu's associates say the meeting was "good" and that negotiations will continue in the coming days.
United Torah Judaism says ready to go to new elections over Haredi draft law
United Torah Judaism says it is prepared to go to new elections, as it gears for tough coalition negotiations after the secularist right-wing Yisrael Beytenu party said it will condition its entry to the next coalition on the passage of the current Haredi army draft bill.
The ultra-Orthodox party, which vehemently objects to the legislation, says it will insist that any yeshiva student will be exempt from military service if he is interested in studying.
"We are ordering the heads of ours local branches to remain on full alert in case — God forbid — that this issue isn't solved," the party says.
Trump envoy says speculation about Mideast peace plan 'harms the efforts'
US President Donald Trump's Mideast peace envoy Jason Greenblatt criticizes reports about the content of the administration's Israeli-Palestinian peace plan, saying the "guessing game" is only harming the efforts.
We've been working hard drafting what we believe is a fair, realistic & implementable plan. Fair agreements require compromises. Only the parties themselves can resolve the conflict. We believe our plan can help them do this.

Syria, Iran decry US 'economic terrorism'; Zarif slams Trump's pro-Israel moves
Syria and Iran say the United States is waging "economic terrorism" against countries that have different opinions and should pursue its aims through diplomacy instead.
Syrian state news agency SANA quotes President Bashar Assad as saying the Trump administration's decision to designate Iran's Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization is an "irresponsible move." Assad spoke at a meeting with Iran's visiting Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, who said the US move was "stupid."
Syria is in the grip of a severe fuel crisis aggravated by sanctions on the Assad government and Iran, its close ally.
Tehran has given the Syrian government billions of dollars in aid and sent Iran-backed fighters to battle alongside its forces — assistance that, along with Russian air power, has helped turn the tide in Assad's favor.
SANA quotes Assad as saying that the US designation of the Revolutionary Guard "is a continuation of the wrong policies adopted by the United States and could be considered as one of the factors of instability in the region."
Zarif says the Trump administration's designation of the Revolutionary Guard and recognition of Israel's sovereignty on Jerusalem and the Golan Heights are related and show the "failure of Washington's policies," according to SANA.
Zarif is scheduled to meet with Syria's prime minister and foreign minister before heading to neighboring Turkey.

Bennett concedes defeat after a week of attempts to locate missing votes
After a week of desperate attempts to locate 1,453 ballots missing for his New Right party to pass the electoral threshold, Naftali Bennett concedes defeat.
"We did find irregularities at the polls and more, but that, in of itself, is not enough to cancel the election results. Our legal counsel will examine the findings in the next two weeks, but at this stage, we are moving on," he says in a Facebook post.
He describes his co-chair, Ayelet Shaked, "the best justice minister in the history of Israel."
"Together, in the past six years, we took the wheel and pulled it rightward and we managed to change, for the better, the direction of the State of Israel. The ship will continue to sail without us."
"After six years of service as a minister, 100 days of campaigning, and another week of fighting for every vote, I can say: I did the best I could."
PA warns Israel tax deduction over terror payments are risking Hamas coup
The Palestinian Authority has warned Israel that its withholding of some tax revenues over the PA's monthly stipends to terror convicts and their families raises the risk of the Hamas terror group carrying out a military coup in the West Bank, Channel 12 news reports.
Israel says the sums of money the Palestinians pay to imprisoned terrorists and terror suspects, as well as the families of those killed in attacks against Israelis, are a direct reward and incentive for violence. Palestinians describe the payments as an important form of social welfare and say they are responsible for their citizens.
Israel earlier this year announced it was withholding over $138 million in revenue, the amount Israeli officials calculate that the PA spends on the stipends. In response, the PA refused to accept any of the tax money.
At Likud victory event, Netanyahu slams media, says will work for all citizens
At a Likud event celebrating the party's victory in last week's elections, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promises to "work for all of you and for all Israeli citizens."
"I want all parts of Israeli society, Jews and non-Jews alike, to be part of the huge success story called the State of Israel," he says, alongside his wife Sara, in front of thousands of supporters.
Netanyahu says he has received "many" congratulations from Arab leaders, though doesn't provide any details.
He also lashes out at Channel 12 analyst Amnon Abramovich, who on Friday joked that if Netanyahu makes Union of Right-Wing Parties MK Bezalel Smotrich justice minister, it would add a year to his sentence in the corruption cases against him, which prosecutors announced indictments for, pending a hearing.
"We will safeguard democracy," Netanyahu says. "I have to say that, because some haven't understood the consequence of democracy. Over the weekend I watched TV and thought I misheard. Scholarly analysts were sitting in the studios and making explicit threats against me, that I will pay a personal price.
"I'm not afraid of threats and not deterred from the media."

We've complied a very short survey for you to tell us a bit about which networks you belong to and how effective you think they are. Please use the link below to access the survey
Examples of networks might include: a mission partnership of several agencies, a regional organisation that brings together denominational representatives, a church planting network or, a denominational network. At this stage we are trying to understand what is happening on the ground, so we would encourage you to tell us about anything you might feel is relevant.
We look forward to hearing from you!
