Chinese Produce iPhones, But Aren't as Interested in Buying Them

Apple market share in the world's biggest smartphone marketis halved in Q2
While Apple, Inc. (
) is based in Cupertino, Calif., China is the company's home away from home; the place where
all of its i-gadgets are assembled
. But in the birthplace of sparkling new iPhones, the world's most populous nation and largest smartphone market, Apple is struggling.
I. Apple Falls to Fourth
In Q2 Apple fell to fourth place in this massive market, with the IDC Group reporting market share plunging from 20 percent to 10 percent. Gartner, Inc. (
a smaller drop from 17 to 12 percent. Regardless of which numbers are correct, the consensus is Apple struggled in China; at least for a quarter.
Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
), Apple's bitter perennial rival also fell slightly from 21 percent to 19 percent, but clung to the top sales spot. Meanwhile, a local firm, Lenovo Group, Ltd. (
) -- makers of the Intel Corp. (
) x86
Android "LePhone"
-- rose to second, seizing 11 percent of the market. Lenovo is currently in second place in PC sales as well, globally. ZTE Corp. (
) also did well, moving past Apple and into third place.
So why are the Chinese turning there back on the iPhone, long considered
a coveted status symbol
among Chinese youth? IDC analyst TZ Wong suggests, "There are two things in play. One is seasonal; people know the new phone is coming. And the second is that the alternatives are becoming much more attractive than a year ago. The iPhone didn't change much over the year."

II. The Chinese Hardware Market Gets Competitive
One thing that has begin to impact Apple's sales is a faster pace of hardware turnover on the Chinese market. Traditionally, China received hardware that was dated by U.S. standards. Today it's getting bleeding edge hardware that American buyers don't have access to.
For example Lenovo -- or any manufacturer for that matter -- has yet to release an Android smartphone in the U.S. powered by Intel's chips. And on the ARM Holdings plc. (
) side of the fence, Qualcomm, Inc. (
) is shipping
Snapdragon 4 chips
to Chinese Android smartphone makers.
Huawei's G330D and Xiaomi Technology's MI2 both have Snapdragon 4 chips, just like the HTC Corp. (
) EVO 4G LTE and
Samsung's Galaxy S III LTE
sold in the U.S.
Domestic phonemakers have stepped up their game with handsets like the Snapdragon 4-powered MI2 from Xiaomi Technology. [Image Source: Xiaomi]
In short, Chinese buyers are turning away from iPhone and towards domestic brands not solely out of a sense of national pride, but largely because the domestic players are putting out handsets with hardware that surpasses that found in the current generation iPhone.
Apple is far from out of the Chinese market, with its next generation smartphone incoming
in only a few weeks
, but it has its work cut out for it in these competitive times.

New York – Cloud-based e-commerce, mobile apps and mobile wallets are among the most important IT trends affecting retailers as they enter the 2013 holiday shopping season.
Verizon Communications, Inc. has compiled a list of the biggest IT trends for this year's holiday season. Following are highlights:
Cloud-based e-commerce: Retailers are now spending more on cloud services to implement e-commerce point-of-sale and online purchasing applications which are both aimed at enhancing the customer experience. In addition, the cloud's flexible usage model responds well to varying seasonal demand and it provides safe storage for large volumes of critical data.
Mobile apps: Retailers are providing both customers and associates with mobile apps to ease and extend activities such as checkout, marketing, and providing access to product data. In addition, data generated by mobile apps can help retailers improve the accuracy and depth of analytics.
Mobile wallets: Growing mobile wallet options are encouraging retailers to integrate more special offers for consumers, which is helping to fuel spending across this digital channel while attracting new retailers to sign on.
Intelligent networking: More bandwidth and faster speeds are in high demand by retailers for optimizing video content, offering omni-channel selling and delivering the mobile shopping experiences that consumers have come to expect. Intelligent networking allows retailers to mobilize applications and keep business processes running smoothly, transport high volumes of data across their organizations, and provide secure access on any mobile device to bring sales associates out to the showroom floor.
Preparing for the unexpected: Business continuity and disaster recovery planning and implementation are now topping the priority lists of retailer's business concerns. Network back-up solutions for quickly re-opening branch and store locations have become popular. As the holiday shopping season kicks off, nobody wants to get caught with shuttered store locations and flooded data centers.
Security: Data breaches can be harmful to a retailer's customers and can also be damaging to a company's brand, especially during the shopping season when customers are spending large sums of money and are emotionally charged.
Pop-up stores: Retailers are continuing to leverage pop-up stores to temporarily create a market presence in locations such as malls, street fairs or events. Pop-up stores can be especially appealing to customers in a hurry looking for quick access to specific items and brands.

All right, this one's a bit late and for that I apologize, but I've been hella sick since returning from Fear Fest and am behind on everything. No matter, it's always nice to have a Rue Morgue to curl up with when I'm feelin' ill.
Before this turns into a folk song, let's get to the focal point of this issue; rat monsters! Specifically Jim Mickle's Mulberry Street, one of the 8 Films to Die For this year and easily the best of the bunch. An interview with Mickle done by Fantasia programmer and fellow Canadian Mitch Davis delves into the deep, dark secrets of shooting a badass apocalypse movie with absolutely no money and one location. Not many filmmakers can say they've done that; I don't care how long they've been at it.
A brief one-pager with Mulberry Street star/co-writer Nick Damaci wraps up the too-brief coverage before their indie spotlight moves on to ">The Living and the Dead (review, out this week on DVD) as well as ">The Lost (DVD review) and the other seven films to die for, all of which get their just deserts.
I have to admit, though it was a well-written article, their look back on the original Prom Night, in honor of the remake out on April 11th, still didn't make me want to revisit it anymore. It's just not that interesting of a film, I'm sorry.
It's all right, though, cause once you're past that there's a very cool article on a new coffee table book called A Lovecraft Retrospective, a massive tome that celebrates all the artistic interpretations of Lovecraft's twisted world throughout the decades. The price is very steep, but the article really makes it feel like it's a must-own for Lovecraft freaks of all shapes and sizes.
The review section is highlighted this issue by having not one but two reviews that start with the reviewer stating that they've seen the worst movie of the young year (for Catacombs and Hack!, two movies hated over here, as well) and an uncharacteristically enthusiastic review for Cloverfield, a movie I thought for sure they'd rip apart.
Apart from that there's a great write-up on the Halloween: Nightdancecomic, a cool interview with rock-n-roll horror author Brian Keene, and a one-pager on a man who has set Clive Barker's Abarat to music. Cool stuff!

Board views request as spot zoning
In a special Miles City Zoning Commission meeting Wednesday to make a recommendation on John Peila's request for a zoning change, the commission discussed the pros and cons but found, in the end, that a Montana Supreme Court ruling on spot zoning made the decision for them.
Peila has requested a zone change from Agricultural to General Commercial for approximately 29 acres of land on Highway 59 South. He planned to build a plant for his Diamond J Construction business and had begun a foundation, saying he was unaware of the need for a zoning change to the ground just outside of city limits.
After considerable discussion on economic development in the Miles City area, which is restricted by geographic features, committee members voted to recommend against the zone change because of the ruling by the court in 1981.
Chairperson Amber Trenka and members Nancy Mitchell, Muriel Rost and Leif Ronning all expressed how difficult the decision was. Ronning stated that he found "all the concerns on both sides to be very legitimate." Mitchell described the position of the board as "between a rock and a hard place."
The difficulty arose because spot zoning is illegal in the state of Montana and the zoning request met all three criteria, defined by the Supreme Court, of spot zoning.
The board made frequent references to the "Little factors," in reference to Little versus the Flathead County Commissioners. In appeal to the Supreme Court from that case, three factors were set out as creating illegal spot zoning. Mitchell read from a report created by the city's zoning consultant, Dave DeGrandpre, ACIP.
The first factor is, does the zone change create use that is "significantly different" land use than prevailing land use. Commercial use, as defined in code, is considerably different from agricultural use, with commercial zoning allowing a much broader use of the land.
The second factor involved two criteria. The first is, does the land proposed for the rezone make up a relatively small amount of land zoned agricultural around it. Peila's request is for less than 30 acres in an area where over 1,000 acres are zoned agricultural. The second criteria states "would granting the zoning map amendment amount to preferential treatment for one or a few persons as against the general public. DeGrandpre's report stated that "General commercial zoning for this property or the immediate area is not called out in an adopted planning document like a growth policy or neighborhood plan. Changing the zoning to General Commercial would clearly benefit one landowner. . .because general commercial allows virtually any commercial use of the property. The Agricultural designation is quite limited."
The third factor asks, "Would the zoning map amendment constitute special legislation or preferential treatment designed to benefit only one or a few landowners at the expense of the surrounding landowners and the general public?"
DeGrandpre's report concludes, "It is not clear the surrounding land owners would benefit in any way. . .What is clear is only one landowner would benefit, as opposed to the public in general or the surrounding land owners in particular."
The remaining members of the board also voted to recommend against the zone change, citing the Little ruling.
Other issues discussed at the meeting included the county's lack of direct participation in zoning outside the city limits and the city's outdated Growth Policy. The city's Growth Policy, which was completed in 2006, only covers expansion of the city to the south and east in vague terms without specifics as to the type of land uses permitted.
The board will send a written recommendation to the City Council, which will make the final decision.
After the board concluded with the Peila request, they set a time for a public hearing on property owned by Brad Certain, which is adjacent to Peila's property, requesting a change from Agricultural to Industrial. Certain stated he planned to sell the property.
That public hearing will be held Wednesday, May 28, at City Hall at 6 p.m.

The LPGA is taking a breather this week and so is Natalie Gulbis. In Las Vegas Natalie has a chance to visit Butch Harmon for a lesson, return phone calls and focus on her next business venture. Her 2006 swimsuit calendar has just been released and her reality show on the Golf Channel will be resuming in November. You can even play golf with "Cyber-Natalie" as part of Tiger Woods' PGA Tour 2005!
Natalie gets alot of face time in the press. It's understandable once you catch a glimpse of her. With her sense of style, athletic 5' 9" figure and bright, toothy smile, cameras click, interviewers hound her and a bevy of admirers follow her around on and off the golf course. She is both personable and mature but with an edginess only a twenty-two year old can pull off.
Natalie represents the future of the LPGA to a tee!

The pastor had been called from his rural church to another part of the country. He was excited about the new challenge, as he well should have been. In a parting comment to a friend, he assessed the state of spirituality of the church members he was leaving behind:
"There is enough ignorance in this county to ignorantize the whole country."
What happens when a pastor gets called to a church like that? A church where the members and leaders alike do not know the Word of God and have no idea of how things should be done (what Paul called "how one ought to conduct himself in the household of God," 1 Tim. 3:15) or why it all matters? read more

5 Things You Need To Know In The South Right Now
1. Alabama-made candles. This week, we were thrilled to discover Great Bear Wax Co., products made in our own backyard. Founder Jake Carnley combines his passions for local goods and the natural world through producing small batches of mustache wax, beard conditioning oil, and unisex candles from the wax of Birmingham, Sylacauga, and Opelika bees. His hand-poured candles come in three scents, Natural, Lavendar, and Jasmine/Patchouli, and can even be delivered in person in the Opelika area.
2. Donald Link's new cookbook. The Louisiana chef in the kitchen of some of our favorite Crescent City eats (Pêche, Herbsaint) releases his second cookbook on Tuesday. In Down South: Bourbon, Pork, Gulf Shrimp & Second Helpings of Everything, Donald looks beyond just Louisiana and dives into Gulf seafood markets, Memphis barbecue, and the fresh produce of the region. In addition to all the tasty recipes, the book features plenty of local color–look for interviews with the Jim 'N Nick's BBQ pitmaster, a Louisiana goat farmer, and Julia Reed, writer and hostess extraordinaire.
3. President Woodrow Wilson's home reopens in Columbia. After a decade-long 3.6 million renovation, the 28th president's former residence opened back up as a museum last week. Now visitors can see where Woodrow Wilson spent his teen years after his family moved to South Carolina's capital during Reconstruction. Restored to its 1871 charm, the home features virtual tours of post-Civil War Columbia, period vignettes, and a extensive garden with magnolias planted by Woodrow's mother.
4. D.C.'s new restaurant. Dreamed up by Ripple's owner Roger Marmet and chef Marjorie Meek-Bradley, Roofers Union has a lot to be proud of. The industrial chic eatery has three beautifully designed floors, boasting views of its Adams Morgan neighborhood and beyond. Their sophisticated takes on kid favorites will make you glad you're a grown-up ordering andouille corn dogs and dirty water dogs on a potato roll. Rounding out the rest of the menu are beer-steamed mussels, olive oil-poached salmon, and fried chicken thigh sandwich with sriracha honey.
5. Lake Street Dive's album. Though the band met as students at the New England Conservatory in Boston, we like to think that the South's partly to thank for their soulful, jazzy sound. Lead singer Rachael Price hails from Hendersonville, Tennessee, and it's her commanding voice that leads the group through their set of catchy and clever songs. This week, Lake Street Dive plays sold-out shows in Asheville, Atlanta, and Nashville, but catch them live at Old Settler's Music Festival in Texas in April and Bonnaroo in June. Until then, watch the song that had us hooked months ago (the title track off the album) and prepare to hit repeat.


text: Today, the Louisiana House of Representatives voted 77 to 22 to pass Senate Bill 303, a constitutional amendment protecting the right to keep and bear arms. SB 303 had already passed in the state Senate, two House committees and has been endorsed by Governor Bobby Jindal. This legislation, which provides for a right to keep and bear arms constitutional amendment, now goes back to the Senate for its concurrence which will take place as early as Tuesday.

hello again. I really do have lots of questions in my mind about my pregnancy. As of now, I confused of the simple things that's happening around me. I just wanted to ask if, how will I know if the feelings for my husband for me have changed already? What I mean is that, does he still love me even if I am already ugly right now?

Between 2010 and 2013 when Denver and Loyola were both members of the ECAC, the two emerging powers met six times. The Pioneers lost three times, the Greyhounds lost three times.
This season, they didn't play. And for that, they've both kind of lost.
What's interesting is how similar each team's position is — great records, championship quality talent, holes in their NCAA Tournament resumes — and how much each team would benefit from the game.
Denver heads into the Big East Tournament Thursday facing the slim possibility that it could miss the NCAA Tournament altogether with a loss to Rutgers, and may struggle to host a game without winning the league because it lacks quality wins.
Loyola heads into its game against Johns Hopkins Saturday (which is nearing a sellout, so buy your tickets now if you want to go) in desperate need of a stiff test, having not faced a likely Tournament team since Duke on March 9.
"I would've loved to play Loyola, I'm sure Charley would've loved to play us," Denver coach Bill Tierney said Tuesday, referring to Greyhound coach Charley Toomey. "It would've helped our RPI, but if we didn't play in February when would we play? And with their ability to schedule Hopkins, Duke, Penn State and Virginia, why would they play us? We would have both benefited from playing each other? Absolutely. "
The two teams didn't meet this season for a number of reasons, primarily tied to conference realignment. Denver joined the Big East last offseason as an affiliate in men's lacrosse, and Loyola joined the Patriot League in all sports.
While Denver's tourney resume has suffered because they lost to the two RPI Top 5 teams on its schedule (Duke and Penn) and wins over Notre Dame, Penn State and Ohio State haven't emerged as valuable as preseason prognostications suggested, Loyola issue arises from a Patriot League that hasn't posed Tournament-level tests down the stretch.
In 2012, the Greyhounds beat the Pioneers twice in April matchups in Denver — 12-9 in the regular season and 14-13 in OT of the ECAC Semifinals. Those games, coupled with an overtime loss to Hopkins, clearly paid dividends over the next month.
"The biggest thing I took from that experience is you have to take one game at a time and you have to really care about your body," Loyola senior attackman Justin Ward said after the Patriot League title game. "The fact that two classes were on that team is huge for us. The juniors know how to take care of themselves, how to prepare, how to handle the distractions once finals are over. Having 50% of your team prepared for those situations is only going to help going forward, and it's our job as seniors to communicate that to the freshmen and sophomores, and we're going to do a great job of that."
"I also think that there's a big part of managing emotions," Loyola goalie Jack Runkel said. "That year, we did a really good job of not getting too caught up in the moment and really living in each minute, focusing on what we needed to do, not really worrying about the team that was in front of us. It was more about us and what we could do right."
Asked whether he would like his team, which has won its last four games by an average of eight goals since beating Navy in overtime on April 5, to be challenged in the fourth quarter vs. Hopkins to ensure they're prepared for a tight contest in May, Toomey said succinctly "No."
"But I know we will be," he added. "I know that program and you'd have to go a long way back to say there wasn't a challenge for each one of us. It's been a one-goal game, overtime games, we know what's coming to Ridley. It's going to be a lot of fun. There's going to be sparks flying."
But Tierney says there's a chance outsiders are underestimating how beneficial each team's conference has been in readying them for playoff lacrosse.
"People don't give enough credit to how hard these league things are," Tierney said. "The new teams to prepare for, what's on the line — it's all difficult. [Loyola's] hard thing doesn't come with who they didn't play, it's close games vs. teams they should've killed. You're going to see some surprises in this Tournament when it comes to where these teams show up."
As Denver gets set to play Thursday, they're extremely sound offensively with attackmen Jack Bobzien (34G, 17A), Wesley Berg (33, 15) and Zach Miller (28, 12) all topping 40 points, and middies Erik Adamson (33, 5), Jeremy Noble (11, 27) and Tyler Pace (20, 8) all topping 25 points.
"I feel good about who we are, but we can lose to Rutgers on Thursday and it wouldn't surprise anyone else," Tierney said. "We're playing well offensively, I like the way our D is playing the last three games. But I understand those naysayers who say they haven't played anybody in a long time."
Loyola's in a similar boat as their prolific offense is threatening some of the scoring marks that title team put up. Ward (16, 49) and Nikko Pontrello (47, 11) are Tewaaraton nominees and senior Brian Schultz, who took over as a surprise starter when Zach Herreweyers was ruled ineligible prior to the season opener, has been a revelation as he nears 50 points. To round it out, six Greyhound middies have topped 10 points, and Loyola now boasts the No. 2 scoring defense in DI.
But despite all they've done, the Pioneers and Greyhounds still have more to prove than pretty much any other team in the conversation to host a Tournament game. That's a reality that likely wouldn't be so if they'd been able to play each other.

History made and lost

When you look at the pomp and mythology around Christopher Columbus' "discovery" of America, it's strange that we don't do more to celebrate Abel Janszoon Tasman.
Columbus departed Spain on August 3, 1492, bumping into the Bahamas a few months later. Almost exactly 150 years later, Tasman left Batavia in August 1642, on the hunt for the great southern continent. He found us instead.
Land rose from the east on December 13, and Tasman named us Staten Landt, believing us to be connected to South America. Ship artist Isaac Gilsemans' first drawings, of strips of new mountain ranges jagged like a shark's teeth, are reproduced in an exhibition at the Nelson Provincial Museum.
Why don't we do more to recognise this date? Perhaps it's because we don't tell ourselves great nation-building stories like the Americans do. We've swallowed theirs instead - many of us know more about the American Civil War than the New Zealand Wars; more about Martin Luther King than Dame Whina Cooper.
Or perhaps because the encounter was so brief and bloody. After sighting the West Coast, Tasman headed north and east, mooring off a rich horticultural shore in what is now Golden Bay, having noted the glow of fires along the coast.
A skirmish with Ngati Tumatakokiri locals saw four of his men and several Maori killed, and he weighed anchor immediately, dubbing the area Murderers Bay. And so Europe learned of New Zealand; there is no earlier written record, no earlier known meeting.
Last month, a group of keen locals finally recognised the 370th anniversary of Tasman's visit. It was marked quietly but robustly in Nelson with a seminar, an exhibition, and a meeting-of-cultures concert featuring the lovely voices of the Koata whanau, a family of music lovers.
They sang old favourites in Hawaiian dresses, and as a warm finale brought "Auntie Shirl" up on stage to serenade her, sitting her on a chair and draping lei after lei around her neck as her cheeks streamed with tears.
The seminar itself was the first meeting of all sorts of minds. Though participants may have left with more questions than answers, it was a wonderful start to pooling knowledge.
But the most interesting thing about the whole story for me is that Tasman might not have been the first European to sight us - just the first to make it back alive.
"These people were extravagant ly fond of nails above every other thing," Captain Cook wrote in his diary on November 2, 1773, bobbing about in Queen Charlotte Sound. Three years earlier, when he'd first encountered Maori in the sound, they'd asked for whau, or spike nails - a commodity so valuable that it has its own index entry in Hilary and John Mitchell's stunning local history, Te Tau Ihu o Te Waka.
How did Maori know to trade for nails with the first Europeans to make their acquaintance? What other explorers or seafarers had met them before, but failed to return with the news? What other secrets lie buried at sea?
In the Netherlands, it was pointed out during the commemoration, people think you're referring to a pretty walk in New Zealand when you mention Abel Tasman. The threads of history are so delicate, it's no wonder that his story is little known.
In his presentation notes for that seminar, John Mitchell writes of a tenuous Maori link with Tasman's visit.
The story had been passed down through half a dozen generations by the 1850s, when native agent James Mackay heard a tale from a slave about the slave's grandfather, Te Koheta, whose canoe was blown away from the Taranaki coast during a monstrous storm and drifted ashore at what may have been Pakawau, with its occupant barely alive.
A Ngati Tumatakokiri woman took Te Koheta to a fire, brought him back to life, and married him.
Hundreds of years later, their grandson told Mackay that there were still a few Ngati Tumatakokiri people at Croisilles Harbour. On a later visit to Croisilles, Mackay asked them if they'd heard of or seen white men in former days. They told him that their ancestors had, and that they killed some of them who came in a ship to what is now Whariwharangi, near Separation Point.
Through such tricks of luck and time are histories made - and, alas, lost.
"You're just lazy and disorganised," writes one reader of my June 30 column on pointless loyalty cards. "It doesn't take much to think about where you're shopping and take advantage of [discounts]."
True; but luckily Kenn of Nelson is sympathetic. "Always wondered why my FlyBuys were ALWAYs so miserable – now I know," he says. "Supermarkets must hate me, aye – I only buy their specials."
And Paul McDonald, director of Card Solutions Limited, writes that he "loved your article on loyalty", which I doubt. "I'd like to email you when we launch a new loyalty programme. We have developed a multi wallet loyalty solution . . . would you be interested in reviewing this?" he continues. It's one card that runs every single loyalty programme you're signed up to, and should be ready in a couple of months. All my troubles rolled into one? I'd definitely be loyal to that.

Doctors have talked for decades about developing a vaccine for cancer which would use the body's immune system to turn the tables on tumours; every few months we read about new trials being carried out in this field by scientists who pepper their speech with adjectives such as "promising", "exciting" and "revolutionary".
Some have even made the tantalising prediction that cancer may soon be easily treatable by a simple injection. If so, where are these much-trumpeted vaccines? Even given the lengthy trial and approval period required for new treatments, surely some should have arrived on the market by now, especially as the idea has been knocking around since the 18th century, when Dr Tachon, a French physician, discovered the cancer-fighting benefits of "laudable pus".
During the 1890s, Tachon's work was developed by William B Coley, a New York surgeon, who injected live bacteria into growing soft tissue tumours, some of which shrank after a brisk inflammatory response.
Later doctors began to notice that some skin and kidney cancers spontaneously regress, the only explanation being that they are under attack by the patient's immune system. Some melanoma (skin cancer) patients also experience vitiligo, or loss of skin pigmentation, which is an auto-immune response to the skin's own melanin-producing cells.
This may all sound encouraging, but the fact is that cancer, which comes in more than 200 forms and will affect one in three of us, is not even close to becoming a thing of the past.
Vaccines may grab headlines, but vaccine research accounts for less than £1m of the Cancer Research Campaign's £61m annual research budget, and the traumatically traditional "cut it, burn it, poison it" therapies, which have hardly changed in the past 30 years, are still the best on offer.
Even if, or when, vaccines do become a standard weapon in the oncologist's armoury, radio and chemotherapy will still be needed to shrink the tumour in the first place to improve chances of success.
Dr David Miles, joint head of the Imperial Cancer Research Fund's breast cancer biology group, is leading a vaccine trial involving 900 breast cancer patients. He says: "The idea of a vaccine is intellectually appealing, but this is an incredibly complex area, and it would be wrong to say we're on the brink of a breakthrough." He believes a vaccine is worth pursuing, however, because there is so little chance of further improvement in conventional therapies.
Various types of vaccine are being developed, most of which use either tumour cells or antigens (proteins which "mark" the surface structure of the cell).
The cells, sometimes taken from the patient's own tumour, are irradiated to kill them and then re-injected along with an agent to provoke a response from the immune system - similar to methods used by Coley more than a century ago. These cell vaccines, especially the individually tailored ones, can be complex and expensive to prepare.
Antigen vaccines, however, are cheap and easy to mass produce, and are being developed with a view to treating pancreatic cancer, for example, which is nearly always caused by a specific antigen mutation.
In Miles's trial, the vaccine, Theratope, attacks cancer cells by recognising a particular sugar which is only exposed in diseased cells. It is too early for the trial to be showing any survival benefits.
One of the problems in developing vaccines, says Miles, is that cancer cells - despite their bizarre and uncontrolled behaviour - may still be similar to surrounding tissue, and may "learn" how to switch off the signals which should alert the immune system.
Also, because there are "demonstrably effective" treatments already in use for some common cancers, such as breast cancer, it's difficult to justify testing anything new except in the most advanced cases where all else has failed. This is far from ideal, particularly as repeated chemo- therapy may have damaged the immune system to the extent where it cannot be stimulated by vaccines.
"Only patients with cancers such as melanoma, for whom conventional treatment is rarely effective, are being tested with vaccines in the early stages," he says.
David Kerr, professor of clinical oncology at Birmingham University, is three months into a vaccine trial involving nine patients suffering from hepatoma, a liver cancer - rampant in the Middle East - which is sparked by hepatitis. "Cancer vaccines were largely discredited in the 70s and 80s because at that time we didn't understand enough about the science of the immune system," he says. "But now we're in a position to plan them better. It may seem that progress has been slow, but up until now, we've really been working on finding out how to make the vaccines work.
"Surgery is always going to be the mainstay of cancer treatment, but I believe the time for rational vaccines has come. We need massive trials involving thousands of people and five years down the road we will be able to measure the vaccines' success."
More immediately promising is another type of vaccine - the only true vaccine, in the prophylactic sense. It attacks viruses, which have in recent years been implicated in up to 20% of all cancers and may be responsible for more. These include the human papilloma, or wart, virus, which causes 99% of cervical cancers, the human T-cell leukaemia virus, and the Epstein-Barr virus, which can cause glandular fever and is also associated with lymphoma and naso-pharyngeal cancer.
The hepatitis B and C viruses can cause liver cancer - the commonest cancer worldwide. There is already a vaccine for hepatitis B, which in trials seems to protect the woodchuck - a burrowing rodent native to North America, also known as the groundhog - from liver cancer, and which may be responsible for falling cancer rates in Taiwan. There could also be a viral link to some breast cancers, while Kaposi's sarcoma, found in Aids patients, is caused by the cytomegalo virus and a herpes virus.
Another much-vaunted trial area is genetic vaccines. These use disabled retroviruses from mice to introduce cancer-fighting genes into the immune system. Work is still at a very early stage, and has raised fears that the viruses could "infect" more than one type of cell with the genetic material, potentially causing other cancers, or permanently affecting future generations by ending up in egg or sperm cells. They could even be transmitted to other people or the environment.
Miles, however, is "cautiously optimistic". "It's hard enough to make a vaccine against a virus - and that's an obvious foreign agent," he says. "If we can't even vaccinate against the common cold, it gives you some idea of how long it will be before we can routinely vaccinate for cancer."
The idea has strong appeal for patients, however. "They feel they can use their own immune systems to fight the disease, enabling them to take control in some way rather than being the recipient of an unpleasant treatment from doctors."
Dee Merry, 54, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1995 and secondary liver cancer last year, is taking part in Miles's trial. "Secondary cancer is treatable, but not curable," she says. "So this certainly can't do me any harm. I believe very strongly in positive thinking and if vaccines are ever going to work, someone has to be involved in the trials. It's great to be involved in something that's going to help people in the future too."
Dee, a former prison officer, says the vaccine injections in her thighs are like "100 bee stings" and cause extreme discomfort for a day or two. "But it's worth it even if the cancer flares up again. At least it might build up my immune system to the point where I can put up the best possible fight."
Miles says the most important weapon against cancer will continue to be improving understanding of the disease. "Even though we may not be seeing anything spectacular just yet, there are incremental improvements," he says. "With a disease as common as cancer, those improvements are important, and this is an area in which we cannot justify stopping work."
Vaccines: the state of play
Genetic vaccines:
US and French scientists have found a way of enabling the immune system to recognise an abnormal genetic structure called a telomere, which is switched on in 85% of cancer cells and allows them to grow and divide endlessly. A prototype genetic vaccine uses programmed white blood cells to attack cells with this abnormality and kill them before they grow into a tumour.
Breast cancer:
Herceptin, an engineered antibody, recognises a surface abnormality in up to 30% of breast cancer cells and can induce remission. It is already licensed for use in the US and may soon be available in the UK. Scientists in New Orleans have isolated a virus associated with breast cancer. It is not contagious, but is in the genetic make-up of up to 30% of the population and almost identical to one identified as a cause of breast cancer in mice in 1942. Lead scientist Robert Garry says the virus was found in 85% of 30 breast cancer samples.
Cervical cancer:
US scientists, with $3million in government funding, are using genetically modified tobacco to make a vaccine to protect against human papilloma virus. Cynics say the government is just trying to appease politically powerful, yet hard-pressed tobacco farmers in an election year. Other HPV vaccines are being tested in Europe and have been used successfully in the US on animals. Beagle breeders have used one in kennels for years to prevent the spread of a highly contagious wart, caused by a virtually identical strain of the virus.
Lung cancer:
The US firm Introgen has developed a device similar to an asthma inhaler to introduce a lung cancer vaccine into the body. They say using it between cigarettes could repair the damage caused to cells by the toxins in the smoke. It would infect cells with a harmless virus modified to carry a human gene, p53, that normally repairs damaged DNA, or causes cells to die if the damage is too great. The body's regular supply of p53 is often made ineffective in smokers by the chemicals in the smoke.
Kidney cancer:
Seventeen sufferers were treated with a vaccine at the University of Göttingen in Germany. Four achieved total regression, three more partial regression, and two saw their cancer stabilise for over a year.

Would you like to see just your unread email? How about only flagged messages? Want to view only mail from particular people? Well, here's how to do it in Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Yahoo Mail, and AOL.
In Outlook Express go to View/Current View and you have the two options of "Show all messages" and "Hide Read messages". In addition, you can create customized views. This is where it gets really cool.
Select "Define Views" then hit the "New" button. You'll see a bunch of check boxes. You can show or hide email from certain addresses, hide old messages, show only flagged, and more. It works just like message rules except the emails are still there rather than moved or deleted.
Let's, for example, make a "whitelist" view so we can show only email from friends or co-workers. Check off "Where the from line contains people" then go down to step two and click the highlighted "contains people". From there you can type in addresses or select them from your address book. Next, click "show/hide" and choose which you want—in this case "show". Finally, give the view a name.
So, if I check my email and have it set to "Show all", but I want to find the messages defined by my custom view, I can go to View/Current View and select the view that I created. And, just like magic, only those messages appear.
In Thunderbird go to View/Messages and you'll find a bunch of choices already waiting such as All, Unread, People I know, Recent Mail, Has Attachments. In addition are the labels that can be added to email: Important, Work, Personal, To Do, and Later.
T-Bird also allows you to create a custom view. Go down to "Customize" and click the "New" button. Give the Message View a name then choose what part of the email you want to specify: Subject, Sender, Body (particular word in the email), CC. In the third field type in the address, name, or word that you want the filter to display. By clicking the "More" button you can specify more than one thing for the view to look for.
Hit OK. Now when you go to View/Messages you'll see your custom view as an option.
With Yahoo Mail look for the word "View". It is probably set to "All Messages". Click the arrow and a drop down menu appears giving you several options: Messages from My Contacts (Address Book), Messages from unknown senders, Unread MEssages, Flagged Messages, and Messages with Attachments. Just select one to change your view.
AOL has a button just above your mail window next to "Show me mail from:". Click the button and you can choose Everyone, People I Know, Bulk Senders, and Unknown Senders. Choosing any one of these will exclude the others although the messages will still be there. Click on a message and select "All Related Mail" and you can find messages from the same sender, with the same header, or same date.
And there you have it. Different views to help you read through mail the way you want. Just remember to put your settings back to "All" when you're done.

Factory full of detailed machinery gives your LEGO minifigs somewhere to work!
1748 pcs
Red brick factory building on 15" square baseplate, interior with office and machinery, outdoor yard and loading dock.
Downloadable instr US$7.00
Your Factory model
When you build this model, your minifigs will have somewhere to go to work, and your city's economy will improve with a better tax base and manufactured items to sell. The pictures show the pre-production version: the production version has minor differences and many improvements, detailed in the text.
Here's the front of the factory, built on a large 15" square baseplate. The production version has a wider and lower gate, in the front wall rather than the side, sized and positioned to exactly match a LEGO road plate lined up with the front of the factory baseplate to give easy access for your trucks. Notice the decorative hexagonal window in the roof gable and the clerestory windows at the top of the roof. Of course, the roof lifts off to give easy access to the detailed interior.
Now that I finally have your factory constructed and gracefully overpowering my parent's dining room table, I just wanted to say thanks for putting such quality into your product, especially in a time when it seems everyone can get away with cutting corners.
Dave Wright, NJ, USA
This view shows the side yard and rear of the factory. In the side yard, the boilerhouse has been converted to a spray painting area, vented through the old boiler chimney, and in the production version there's a storage shed, dumpster, chemical or paint drums, downspout and lighting.
The production version includes a rear loading dock and loading doors suitable for running a train track alongside, or for loading large trucks. There's a decorative hexagonal inset in the roof gable to match the window at the front.
A generous row of large windows along the side wall allows a view of the interior even when the roof is on, and good light for the industrious workers.
Look at what's inside!
At the front, a large public office provides desk space for the receptionist, secretary and bookkeeper, along with the office machines for them to do their jobs.
A smaller corner office with green and blue checkered floor accommodates the owner in comfort, with desk, shelving and lighting.
This is a real eye-catcher. The roof colour [Manfred bought a dark grey roof version] is really beautiful, and the black (not available in dark grey) ridge parts don't disturb at all, instead I think they accentuate the rim in a nice way. While showing it, the set triggered response from LEGO connoisseurs, such as "That are a LOT of dark grey slopes!". The hexagonal facade details breaks the otherwise too massive triangular surface effectively. I also like the richness in details and all the beautiful tooling machines. Good minifigs too.

In the main production area, you'll find a variety of woodworking mach-inery: lathe, drill press, bandsaw, table saw, chop saw and jointer.
Hand and power tools are stored in a cabinet and on shelves, and gratings on the floor in front of machines make long work hours easy on the feet.
At the back of the main building is the production manager's office, with the usual desk, shelves and phone plus a layout table for drawings, and a job card rack. Next to the office is the interior loading dock, equipped with steps and a ramp for access, and dollies and handcart for moving items. Small details are everywhere - the clock and fire bell on the wall, safety striping along the edge of the dock, and more.

New to Leasing
I'm thinking of leasing a 2104 X3 m-sport carbon black and have never leased before. I've done some research and had some questions.
1. As far as numbers are concerned, the cap cost, msrp, money factor, and residual, what other numbers should be considered? I know the residual and to some degree the money factor are non negotiable are there any other numbers to watch out for? The dealer is selling me the a custom order X3 for $250 over invoice.
2. What happens in the case of an accident? Do I need to inform bmw or just get it fixed? Is gap insurance included in the bmw finance lease?
3. Are they picky on returning the vehicle or is it ok to have some wear and tear?
4. Are there samples of a lease contract? I'm not sure what document will look like and what numbers will be shown.
5. Planning on either a 12K per year mile lease or 15k is it cheaper to get the 15k from the beginning or wait and adjust the milage later?

Copy My Blogging System To Sell Your Online Course. Follow My Step-By-Step Blueprint, Updated For 2017
This is a fun video and it has some important information for you if you are wondering whether you have to be famous/have lots of exposure already to launch a membership site, and also whether my Membership Site Mastermind system works in markets outside of the making money niche.
In this video you will see case studies of two people starting the process of building their lists and conducting surveys like I talked about in the Blue-Sky video, in unique niches –
I start the video with a brief trip around the world slide show, where I show you some of the places I visited as I traveled the planet last year visiting 25 cities in 8 months. I also show you how I was able to conduct two membership site launches during the trip and make more money while traveling than I had when I left Australia.
Take part in my intensive training program on how to launch a profitable membership site to help you earn at least $100,000 in the next 12 months.
Click the link below for all the details –
Hey Yaro,
You don't have an accent; you're Canadian, eh? 🙂
Great video btw and yes I'm pumped (you did a good job of getting me pumped). Obviously, I'm really curious about those survey questions (as my list is at 1,700 people) and I'm guessing those questions are not part of your membership program, but something I would create myself.
Enjoyed the Video, I got to say I like your style. Clean and good content along with motivation. It has me pumped for my current project. A Thank You/Free Membership site with primary goal is to start building my list so I can eventually do a paid membership site. I still a newbie at all this but I will say I really enjoy your site.
I will have to check out you program once I finish the one I am working through right now. I got a rule I got finish a program and get or make back at least what I paided for my last program before I can start on the next one.
Keep em coming!
Thank you Yaro for the video with your trip around the world.
I did not know that you are actually a Canadian too. Love your
canadian english, very easy for me to understand. I did come
from Germany to Canada and australian english makes me
some problems.
Your case-studies tell me what one can accomplish by being
focused and work toward ones goal.
Yaro, I've only known about you for a few weeks now (thanks to Lisa at 2CreateaWebsite.com), but you're an invaluable resource. You give away SO much good, free information it makes me WANT to pay you money and join your program. It's brilliant. While my site is in its infancy right now, I have a sneaky suspicion I will be joining your program at some point in the next year.
By the way, thank you for including information on people who AREN'T in the "make money online" niche. It's refreshing to see your principles put into action in other markets.
Brilliant Yaro!
This piece is fantastic. Thanks for showing us how practical it is to build a list. I have some videos on YouTube as well, but I'm not funneling to any capture pages. I guess you don't need a lot of content to start funneling. I guess I need to find something to give away in return for the visitor's email. The way you present the case studies show that reciprocity is critical to the equation to boost opt-in rate.
I need to marinate on what I should give away. I'm stumped at the moment.
Hi Yari,
Thanks for an inspiring video.
I'm a very happy member of becomeabogger and I wonder if you will cover things in this membership that I will not get in becomeablogger?
In what way are they different?
Would I benefit from participate i both?
Be well my friend!
Love and Blessings,
Hi Yaro,
Great video, you share great info here…
Membership sites work, no doubt about it because. If you set it up the right way and you deliver good content you'll have a great stream of income. You can be traveling or doing whatever you want because it is a passive income.
^PV Reymond
I always love your videos Yaro. You are able to explain the technicalities in a simple to understand way, which is great.
I like how you gave the example of Jay Jay that started from zero really anything and how he was able to really start things off. This might be the last straw… I'm going to be done with school in a week and need to start looking into the future. I have a few ideas floating around my head now I need to get serious about them.
Thanks for all the advice.
Great video. Enjoyed the slide show on your travels. I'm really interested in what kind of survey was used. As always, learned a few new things from your site today.
Recently I became a member of your blogmastermind program. I am loving it, and taking it at a very fast pace. Ultimately I want to start a membership website (or multiple websites), but I got the feeling that you have to build up a following first through a blog.
I am torn on what to do.
Should I keep going with the blog mastermind program, and hope that there are future openings of membership mastermind in the future.
Or should I make use of your 60-day guarantee and take that money to put it into the membership program
OR should I do both.
Thank you so much for the blog mastermind program, it has finally given me the tools to get my blog on its feet!
Fantastic video!! My head is spinning now with a ton of new ideas. I never really thought about starting a membership site for non-internet marketing niches.
Thank you so much!
the possibilities are immense. The examples offered are helpful and is encouraging for anyone wanting to make money off a niche outside blogging.
Great vid Yaro,
I don't know if this is possible but have you ever considered having subtitles in your video? Sometimes I am just not in a position to listen to the audio but would love to read the dialogue.
Continuity is a great business model. I like the idea of building it once and getting paid monthly for your content.
Enjoy your great video.Love traveling. Great inspiration.
I live what you are doing.Saw your presentation on Google.
It is fantastic to see people professionalism.
You put in my mind a lot to think.
Wish you the best
Hi Yaro!
Your Video is absolutely beautiful! I love the message and the
pictures of your travels around the world. The review of the 2 people you interview was clear to demonstrate how anyone can
do your program to build their op-in list while developing a member ship site. The survey format is great because you have people
reponding who have a genuine interest in what your niche is about. You really do some of the best work I've ever seen for a
program developer/marketer. I'm learning from the best!
Great video. You have a great talent in setting the stage and explaining your plans and process step by step. I think a great 'hidden tip' is just watching your videos and reading your blog for your selling techniques!
Hi Yaro,
I have planned on a membership site in the future. I read the free report and your upcoming course seems like what I will need. Due to life stuff I am not ready to put the work in right now, but in the next six months or so. Is their a point in joining the course now when I can't put the work in and keep up with the coaching?
I also don't know anything about putting up and maintaining a blog. How important is that learning curve before doing the membership?
Thank for the video Yaro.
It's impressive to see everything you've accomplished since you met Rich.
Yaro i really love your video. But when i try on playing as you i always failed. I think maybe next time i will be successful like you.
Hi yaro,
Always love to give you comments on your different and unique ideas.video is so cool.i wana add some thing about membership sites.
The key to a successful membership site is keeping the customer happy so they pay each month. In order to do this, you will need to supply your site with fresh content, bonuses, virtual features, interactive chat rooms, forums, etc. Give your customers what they want and they will be happy to pay you.
It keeps going back to the beginning at about 1:30.
What does that mean? It played alright for me.
I'm always happy to see the new info you send me thru the newsletter. Very professional, great content, info, well spoken. I find to build a good blog and to move on to next steps, I need a second person to help me. I admit, it's very time consuming for me and I'm not so good with the new technology. I'm not giving up, contrary, I will apply what you advise, but I need to find a partner who want to work together on this. Thank's again for sharing!
Chantal (north of Montreal city, Canada)
P.S.: Let me know when you're in town, I would like to meet you in person and also you could visit the beautifull Lower Laurentians.
I'm a PY student as well and just wanted to offer some advice. How valid do you think the study results might be given that people under 27 will probably participate, and that sinceyou are not face to face with your participants they are more likely to make a joke of the questions.
Great video! Looks like I need to work harder =)
[…] speaking of membership sites, you have to watch this video as Yaro takes you behind the scenes of 2 case studies of people who are using his online marketing […]
How much is this program going to be? I have to put it in my spending plan!
[…] Watch this video and I know you will be excited by the possibilities too – A video to inspire you to take action. […]
Wow, Yaro — great job! This video really inspires me to try my hardest and make money online being able to travel the world while making money online. I plan on creating a membership site someday.
Keep up the great work!
Yaro, once again you have outdone yourself. The information that you provide is immensely helpful!
Hi Yaro,
Thanks for the newsletter and the content. I'm a recent member of your blog mastermind program. Just joined last week and I"m already full of new ideas for my BizSkoolblog which I've run during my MBA program and I started TheSkooloflife which is going to be my new blog that I put all your principles to use in.
Quality Content + Opt In + Survey + Membership Site = Rich 🙂
I am eager to learn more from the techniques your membership offers. I have already subscribed.
Just wondering, Yaro. Do you find often yourself thinking "this would make a great video!" or "this would make a great blog post!" as you're wandering around doing and experiencing things? And if so, how do you feel about that? Just curious.
Wow Yaro, it was fun to see some of the different places you have visited, when you say you were making and launching your business etc, over seas, could that be a problem in the future? I mean.. taxes wise…
Till then,
Hi… I really idolized you since when I first visited your site. How I really wanted to avail your coaching in blogmastermind.com but I don't have money to purchase. Philippines is a poor country that don't have high technology informations and job to apply. So I decided to start a blog to make money. I started last January 2009 when the time that my curiosity dug my mind asking, if is it possible to earn money over the internet. So I started a research. I found many informations and choices but still I'm not convince yet, because I thought this thing was a scam and until I saw a video on youtube.com from a successful filipino blogger that earns money over the internet and I got the courage to try. I started to make some execution from my research, trying different niches to cover, but still I don't have much information to make money online. Until I found your blog and read your successful stories. I tried to cover another topic to my blog. I want to try internet marketing and understand its core of giving chances to people. I don't much have knowledge about computer, but thanks to my job as an internet cafe attendant, it helps a lot after two years of experience on using the internet. I want to have money to buy my own domain name, hosting and also avail your coaching but still my adsense income still low. I think it's $24.00. I followed some of your advice from the process of arranging and positioning the widgets and features to my blog. I want to start another blog but I always remember what you told in your ebook that wait your baby grown up and focus on one thing. I got discourage for how many times and still I remember your teachings. I really like your style of organizing things.
My friend since I don't have money to purchase your coaching, I still want to know what's inside in that e-book. All I ask your advice and guidance to the process of success in blogging business. I want you to be my friend, I know deep inside my heart that your a humble person. I'm 22 years old got married when I'm still 19 having two kids to raised. I have a big plan to my family and I think God gave this blogging opportunity to be successful in life from the help of different people around the globe.
My dream from now is to buy my own computer, purchase my own domain name and hosting, avail your coaching and to be a successful blogger. I want to a professional from the informations in your coaching method and spread it to the world the power of blogging business.
Thanks for reading my comments I'm looking forward to your reply. God Bless…
i wait your membership mastermind launch, want to see detail about your course, thanks.
You sure are living life to the fullest Yaro. It is great seeing what can be done whilst "on the road". I enjoyed the slideshow of your world trip, it sure does put things into perspective, doesn't it!
I'm sure you'll achieve your goal of achieving all the tennis grand slams in due course, Wimbledon must surely rate as the one tournament I would like to attend the most.
Keep the content coming, your blog is something really special!
Congratulations Yaro! You are living the real dotcom lifestyle and it is great.
You are a source of inspiration!
Hi Yaro,
Was great to meet you and Gideon in person the other night…you do come across sooo famous on line yet are still down to earth. I would love to hear you both go up and speack and tell your story some time.
I think that what you do is fantastic. I am enjoying putting in place your tips every week and really look forward to checking out your next launch…some time today.
I can't wait to see your course and what it details. I am sure it has taken a ton of time and information to create.
Your authenticity and factual approach will continue to win fans, and your long term approach makes believers out of us all!
I've been a subscriber for a couple years, I'm excited to see the launch tomorrow, I'm praying that I can arrange to purchase, as a membership site launch would be a life saver for me. I'm a restaurant owner, but in reality, the lifestyle is very tough, and being a tech lover, I really see my future in creating content, and launching membership sites.
So excited to see the launch, keep up the GREAT work!
Chef Tony
Enjoyed the video. It flowed very naturally and was easy to follow. I think I will become a blogger time permitting.
Hi Yaro,
Thanks for the newsletter and the content. my new blog that I put all your principles to use in.
I also want to promote a video. I need to know, should I use a web-cam or a video phone, or what?
I've got a great idea for you, Yaro: take on one charity case for your Membership Mastermind course. It'll be great for your future marketing:
"I took on this one student who was so broke he couldn't even afford my course, but I'm so generous that I wanted to help one poor soul…"
That would be me, of course! LOL – I'm drooling over MSMM but I'm broke.
Hi Yaro,
I have only been a subscriber for a short while, the information you provide is
so informative and direct. I would just like to thank you for helping me put together my first blog website.
It's Obvious you put alot of hard work and effort into your website, you are my inspiration to achieve my goal and eventually be successful.
Thank You
I was following your posts when you were traveling. I did not know at that time that you were Canadian. Anyway, this recap and the advise is truly mind blowing.
this is some pretty wild stuff, I love hearing your stories
Is always nice reading your posts and newsletters.
Hope i'll be as successful as you are today.

Brilliant video! Yaro Starak, you are a great inspiration for peeps out there dreaming of success!… Hope to get there one day
Hey Yaro , awsome video content on the 3 different niches also enjoyed going on tour with you 🙂 , great ebook on your membership site with mp3 very impressed, look forward to the relaunch, missed out this time
Thanks once more for the motivational information. The examples are very good and inspirational.
Excellent video. I am surprised that with a simple slide show, you managed to earn so much money.
A person needs a list to be profitable in today's economy. However, I don't use an opt in page for the job niche. People contact my email for jobs. Therefore, I use a different form of list building. However, I think an opt in page would be the best method for most niches. Should internet marketers avoid a list? It would be unprofitable in today's slow economy.

My wife and I are students of yours. We loved your product BecomeABlogger with Gideon. We launched our website after taking your course.
I just wanted to stop by and say to anyone that purchases this course, I think you will get your money's worth. My wife and I bought BecomeABlogger back in July and we have since launched our website from Yaro's great ideas. We are actually going to write a post about it by relating it to our website soon.
Anyhow, I just wanted to give any indecisive people out there a reason to use Yaro's product. He is genuine and provides a great product that you will get your money's worth from.
Hi, Yaro, great video! I see it second time.
Do you remeber I am waiting you here in Toronto?
Yaro – great info – thank you – definitely looking fwd to your newest relaunch – the Beach eh? cool! Howard
Thanks for this video, I am like Fran with an existing online gift business, and I have been looking at ways to expand, and basically give my customers better value for money. I can now see that by setting this membership/blog/forum up, I can do a lot more for them (my existing/new customers).
Great video.
Hi Yaro, Great to meet you , finally get to leave a comment, i had to make a start on my new Blog first , after being inspired by your Blogging Videos, it grabbed me into action, after having an online presence for a number of years and earning some extra income to pay for my online activities from affiliate programs, and learning the hard way. Making web pages was not hard, but time consuming, and now with wordpress, it makes it so much easier to make and add content. So here is our first start into a blog , do make contact after you have visited, i would be interested in your thoughts, thanks for your valuable time. Cheers Theo Auckland NZ
ps i am throughly enjoying all your videos, there is so much to learn, also your audios have a huge amount of info to take in, you have to listen to them several times , not to miss and tips.
[…] The Slide Show The start of the video is really inspiring, as Yaro takes you through a slide-show from his 8-month trip around the world. […]
Hi Yaro:
As always great free information and I am looking into joining your course to set up a Membership site to teach real estate agents how to be sucessful in this market.
I have been a succesful Realtor for ten years now and have been instructing my whole career and thought about selling a e-book until I got your email about setting up my own membership site and was intrigued at the tought.
1 question for on realted to this topic – Although I have an extensive list of emails for my past clients and associates, I don't have a list of realtors and/or prospesctive realtors. However, these lists can be purchased rather easily from varoius Real Estate Booards across the country. Why can't we just purchase a list to start sending out emails to using our AWeber account???
This seems to cut to the chase to entice them in an email with a free report and/or video to join my membershipo site???
Any thoughts….

Hi Yaro,
Thanks for sharing the great info bout making money via membership site. However I still have a long way to go. Still learning about all kinds of stuff on the net and kind of confused what to do…. a case of information overload.
As always your dedication towards your blog is most inspiring I wish I have that commitment. I have tough time thinking what topic to write for my next blog.
However hope to be as successful like you one day. If only i can commit myself and stay focus but there's so many things out there and they all sound great.
[…] The Travel video […]
Hi Yaro,
You are the new messiah of freedom..! Ty
I am just getting motivated to get into this virtual jungle to hunt from being a conventional professional (architect).I had a few queries..
1.How do you find out what is legally required for floating a company,taxation,internet laws applicable in different regions,I am thinking of India and UAE as my future target markets.Even when you are a home based small business owner what compliance do you need? This know how is not touched in your handbook.
2.Do you talk to the web hosting company for the technical requirements of the data storage required,formats included like forum,multiple pages etc.If you are not a technical person,how do you decide on these things?
3.What are the secrets of non membership sites like a community classified website of a city? How do they float and make money? ( like Craig list is still a foundation with org..) What can be handled by 1- 2 people sitting at home and what requires an office and some staff?
Will appreciate your feedback.
[…] The Travel video […]
Hey Yaro, what if I'm not good at speaking english, do I have to have a video of myself? or I can hire someone to do it for me?
Hi Yaro…
Just wanted to know… how do you start a membership site if you don't have a specialist knowlege area that has commercial value…. I would love to go down this road, but haven't the faintest idea what kind of site to create… Is this a question you cover in your course?
I have finished watching the fantastic video and I am impressed with the fact that this is applicable to various niche.
As usual, you have pumped out great content and video.
Yaro got it right. I love the way he shares his information about his topic because it is easy to understand and not complicated to follow.
I think, it might took me some 5 years to go to reach the 1/2 of yaro's achievements. Lol! I am just wandering.
Thanks for sharing it.
hey! Yaro.
really a stunning video. after watching this video, my head is full of new ideas.
Want to have more of such video.
Thanks for sharing.
I just wanted to ask you a question. Consider a blog which is having a low traffic.
Then, is it possible to have a success launching a membership site to such a low traffic blogs. And is it possible that the popularity of such blogs increases if the membership site is offered at low cost for few days.
[…] Or even better, be like Yaro Starak, who came back home to Brisbane, Australia after 8 months of travelling around the world with more money in his bank account than when he left it! […]
Hi Yaro,
That's a great video tutorial which has really opened my mind.
Loved the video – very informative. Now I have to find out more about how to do an effective survey! Thanks.
Yaro~ Thanks for the great content!
While a membership site is a good thing to have if you are able to get the right one going. I have seen quite a few people fail at this. I would rather stick to what i know. this may mean limiting myself, but it not for everyone.
it seems so simple ^^
great pictures, that's the cool stuff of bogging, u can do it anywhere
Hi Yaro, another nice video, it's really inspiring to see people making money in all different nieches, because I already started to think that the only way to make money on internet is to write how to make money on internet 🙂
Me and my partner are about to start an information website, I just got this idea how to quickly build up a contact list and wondering what you think of that. The website is gona be articles and videos mainly, the newest few will appear on the home page, but if intrigued readers want to access older posts they have to sign up for free. Does that make sense? thanks!
[…] Yaro Starak to camera & screencast post […]
A true inspiration for bloggers. This was written in 2009 and you traveled 25 cities from different countries, I guess that number grew already. Thanks for sharing your expertise. And thanks for this cool video, very inspiring.

Wow, it's great amount of money when you traveling.
I can't do like that nowaday, thanks for the inspiration for making money on the internet, Yaro.
