How Do You Bring Life Back To Dry Damaged Curly Hair?
Curly hair has its own beauty. But I didn't like my curly hair. When I was the teenager; tried most of the time to straighten up my curls with chemicals and blow-dryers. Gradually I understand the fact that getting the hair curl is very much beautiful than turn it away from its original pattern. Now I love my curls.
Today my concern is for those who are trying to attempt for making flat fall hair with harmful chemicals and as a result, causing dryness, damage, and roughness to their lovely hairs.
We can't also deny the fact that sometimes it is tough to resist the seasonal hairstyles, blowouts or any flat look of hair. But overdoing any style that effects pressure on your hair can make your hair losing its natural shine and sound health.
But the good news is, it is never too late. You can regain your shimmering hair by making some changes in your daily hair routine and applying some natural remedies.
Here are some fundamental changes that help you to bring back life to dry, damaged curly hair.
What Shampoo Are You Using
Check on once what type of shampoo you are using. As, there are different categories of shampoo available for the particular type of hair; for example, for rough type hair, you should choose mild kind of shampoo. Like this, for curly hair, you have to select sulfate free moisturized shampoo. Applying appropriate kind of shampoo on your curls will help you to recover the dryness.
Are You Taking Enough Care On Your Curls
Taking care is a great solution to every problem. Then why not take care of your curls? Twice in a week, it is compulsory to use a hair mask that suits your hair type. For boosting up your hair from that damage you caused in attempting for the flat hair you need treatment of deep conditioning. This treatment gives extra nourishment to your curly hair and avoids frizzing.
You can do natural nourishing treatment with eggs, avocado, olive oil, coconut milk, lavender essential oil, honey etc. Deep conditioning and nourishing treatments help you to restore the fragile curls.
Avoid Heat
Avoiding heat is a wise step to prevent your hair from being dry and rough. While cleaning, you should use cold water to rinse it. It is helpful with shine as well as frizz.
I was made on doing blow-drying my curls and was fascinated to get straight hair. Usually, I was habited to do flat irons 2 to 3 times a week. And no wonder, my curls got crumbly and friable. Then I didn't know the tricks that would allow me to do style with saving the curls from roughness.
Although you need to use heat then should use the heat protection. Do not do hair straighten from wet to dry hair. At blow drying use the cool shot option. Believe me; these steps will give you sleek and shiny looks of your curls.
Do You Trim Your Curls Regularly?
Trimming gives your hair good growing and less breakage of hairs. So try to maintain regular trimming of your hair.
When your hair gets damaged it is good to cut down the damaged part to continue the natural pattern. Because the damaged section of hair make the end split and then break. If you do not trim the damaged edge of the curl the damage just grow and grow by splitting the end.
So better get trimmed today!
Give Rest To The Curls
I bet you have tried a lot over getting slim slick hair; maybe you have colored your hair thrice in a month. Now it is time to give it a rest Honey! I know you are looking gorgeous. But what about the poor hair? Draw a gap limitation for styling the curl.
Once you bring a gap in modifying the curls, you will start to feel the difference between before and after effects. This gap will bring back the good health of your hair.
Have A Balanced Diet
Till now I was just saying about external actions. But it is simultaneously important to check on your intestine immunity that is assured only by a balanced diet and impacts on the beauty of the hair. Drinking a lot of water, taking healthy fats, Fish and fruits- all these help you to bring life back to dry, damaged curly hair.
Hey Girl! You look stunning in your curls. Just don't spoil the natural beauty. Trying to get the opposite type of hair will only cause damage to your cute curls. I am telling you from my own experiments as well as experiences. It is better to walk on the right than going on in the wrong direction. Just be patient and take good care to bring life back to dry damaged curly hair.

This is the picture found on page 71 of this month's Pets Magazine! Go check it out! Ok... its a TINY picture....
The Doggie people had a meet up and they didn't bring their dogs... except PA! and he brought me! There was even some belly dancing entertainment. If you ask me.... tummies were never mean to look like that.
Rock climbing is something new Pa is doing... and once again, he has the only camera.
This is no camera trick. Its as high as they come. Over 25meters. Probably the largest artificial rock in Singapore.
It was plenty of fun... but it was real tiring. Pa promised that we will get to go the next time he climbs.
Pa just finished a climb... he couldn't get to the top yet, but it would be soon!
I wasn't keeping that idle myself... I still have it in me to attract the ladies...
and boy... the things I can get away with... I'm sure she's hiding something.

As many of you know, my sister Lisa passed away in 2012 just a few short months after learning she had stage 4 cancer. This was devastating for me, as she has always been my best friend and confidant. This was also difficult to grasp for our family and all who knew her. It was hard to make sense of the fact that she just starting feeling "bad" over the holidays in 2011, received the "C" word diagnosis in February, and lost her battle less than 4 months later.
Lisa Moments
I miss my sister and think about her all the time, but sometimes these crazy, magical things happen (it varies – sometimes it's once a week or less, other times it's constant/daily). I call them "Lisa Moments". They are these tiny puzzle pieces and reminders that she is still all around me. Though she's no longer here in the physical form, I am amazed at these occurrences – like she's popping up to say "Hi".
One of Lisa's "things" was owls. She was funky and eclectic, and seemed to find these crazy owl items that were just awesome. I see them everywhere and I'm reminded by her. (This also fueled my mini-obsession with funky owl decor that I find and must have in my life).
2 summers ago, it was ladybugs. Everywhere I went, I saw a ladybug. There was one constantly on my windshield that would ride along wherever I was driving to. I saw them in my office. At photoshoots. Online. Everywhere, ladybugs!
When I started my new job last year, there was a bird outside my office window every day for at least a week. It would just sit in that tree and seemed to greet me every time I looked up from my computer. Just weeks later, I had a deep conversation with my mom and the sweet woman who has come into our lives by way of my brother in law (Lisa's widowed husband) about birds and their significance in death. Mind blown.
"Hootie Hoooooo!"
A couple of weeks ago, I was browsing some current events, obscure holidays, you know – browsing the internet and losing track of where I am through a rabbit hole – and I came across this gem:
There is apparently a couple in Pennsylvania who have developed a holiday on February 20th of each year called "Hoodie-Hoo Day". While this may sound a little ridiculous to most of you, this stopped me in my tracks.
Leading up to Christmas, when you're wrapping gifts, you know how at the end of the roll of wrapping paper, you're left with a long, empty tube? I think it's safe to assume that many of you throw it in the recycling (or garbage), or perhaps give it to your kiddos for a sword-fight of sorts. That tube is something a bit more purposeful for my family – It was always dubbed the "Hootie-Hoo" stick. Its purpose was to bother your family members as you march around the house, sneak behind corners, etc while shouting "HOOTIE-HOOOOOO" through the end of the tube and into the ears of your annoyed kin. Ridiculous, I know. But it was our thing! I don't know how or where this originated, but it makes me laugh every Christmas when someone remembers the "HOOTIE".
So when I learned that this "Hoodie-Hoo Day" was thought up by this creative couple to go outside at noon, wave your arms and yell "Hoodie-Hoo!" to chase winter away, I just knew it. This was another Lisa Moment. Want to know the real kicker? Lisa's diagnosis came on February 20th (or within a day or two), which is the date of this holiday. I can't believe the string of events that led me to stumble across this random website to find this crazy holiday.
I have goosebumps just thinking about it.
So go out and celebrate this wacky holiday tomorrow… and please let me know how many people give you crazy looks for waving your arms and hollering like a crazy person!  🙂

U.S. Embassy Dhaka's Guide to 2020 Presidential Elections
We hope to paint a picture for Bangladeshis of how the American people choose their President. It is a long process and it is also very colorful, and involves every American. Through images and articles we want to show you the people, places, and process as America prepares to go to the polls on November 3, 2020 to choose a President, 469 members of Congress, and thousands of other public officials across the country, including state governors, judges, and superintendents of schools.
The United States has been a representative democracy since the ratification of the U.S. Constitution in 1788. The process, complicated and sometimes confusing, has evolved to ensure universal suffrage to all men and women who are U.S. citizens 18 years of age or older. Free and fair elections are the keystone of any democracy. When voters elect representatives, they elect the leaders who will shape the future of their society. This is why elections empower ordinary citizens: They allow them to influence the future policies of their government, and thus, their own future.
American Citizens: How to vote from outside of the United States
The U.S. Embassy and U.S. Consulate General are here to help you exercise your right to vote and answer your voting questions. Voting from abroad is a three-step process that needs to be started early. Please see more information here.

One thing that I have been thinking about lately (after chatting with lots of people on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram) is that having some resources for walking routes for beginners fitness would be a really useful addition to the blog. And I have to agree! Jit and I have been through a number of bits of kit as well as experimented with different routes so if we can help you get going faster than that is great!
So with that in mind I am going to start with a bit of a compilation of places that are already on the blog and then start creating new and exciting posts to get you going. I think I might even have some other fun ideas too (keep your eyes peeled!) No matter what level you are at though, there is something and somewhere to get walking and taking an outside adventure! Every step counts.
Haigh Hall Woodland Park
If you're new to getting out walking then you want to make sure that you start working your way up. Jit and I found that doing small walks often really helped to build up our fitness levels and meant that we could gently increase our walking and the strenuousness of the walks as we progressed. One of the best ways of building up is by doing lots of urban wanders on the flat (or flat-ish) ground where you live or work. However, it is always nice to have somewhere with a bit of greenery to give you that little extra boost on the weekends and when you get chance after work.
Haigh Hall Woodland Park in Wigan (40 minutes in the car down the M61) has three main routes within the park as well as the Jubilee walk which takes you further afield. The walks range between 1 mile to 5.6 miles so it is a fantastic place to get started. The other plus side of getting some walking in here is that you get to do some small hills too, which is great practice and helps boost that heart rate while you're exercising.
Although it might look pretty muddy in the pictures and video from our visit, most of the walks are on hard standing or only lightly muddy areas (we went on a particularly wet day!) The routes take you around both the park and the woodland areas as well as a part of the canal so you get nice varied views and experience.
The routes
As the routes are fairly short you can do one and see how you're feeling and then take another if you're feeling up for it. I promise you will find that you can walk further than you think you can. It was something that always surprised Jit and I when we first started out with our goals of hitting one mile and then three miles and so on.
You can download the routes here:
Download Green and Blue Walking Routes (Green: 1.8 miles/1 hour, Blue: 1 mile/30 minutes)
Download Red Walking Route (5.6 miles/2-3 hours)
Download History Trail (1.8 miles/2-3 hours)
Boggart Hole Clough
For something a bit closer into Manchester, Boggart Hole Clough also offers a lovely range of woodland, waterside and open space for walking on hard standing paths. There are no prescribed routes, but there is plenty of space to explore and walk.
Boggart Hole Clough is situated just by Blackley/Moston to the East of the city and has an abundance of ways that you can walk. On our visit we walked through the wooded area along through the playing fields and around the lake which took us up some gentle hills and mainly on flat paved paths. There are way makers pointing to the main roads, so you have an idea where you are.
Walking routes
The red dotted lines on the map represent walking paths so there is scope to make the walk as long or as short as you feel is suitable for you. As the park is situated near some major bus routes, you can always find your way back to Manchester city centre easily to should you begin to tire. I have created a medium strength circular walk that starts and ends at Rochdale Road.
If you download View Ranger to your phone, you can download the route here.
The Canal
One of my favourite places to walk, whether for a long or a short wander, is the canal. We have access to so many different canals in the city including the Rochdale, the Ashton and the Bridgewater. We are also very lucky that the paths are very well maintained meaning that we have access to many fairly flat and paved areas to walk along.
The best way to make the most of your walks on the canals are to start and finish at the same point. It might seem a bit boring to do a linear walk to and back, but you'd be surprised how different everything looks when you go the other way. Give yourself a time to stick to and walk as far as you can (but not until you're exhausted as you still have to go back) in half the time you have given yourself and then head back. The good thing about doing this is that you can tailor the route to how you feel and also have physical markers to see how you have progressed e.g. make it to the bridge for a week and then add that little but more the next to get to the graffiti for example.
At this time of year though it is worth noting that it does get dark earlier and the light can be very poor along the canals. So make sure that you give yourself plenty of time and keep to doing it during the daytime.
I hope that you have found some good routes to try to some tips to get you started. If there is anything specific that you would like me to include in the beginners posts either pop me an email or comment below and I'll get working on some great resources for you.
Here's to getting more outside adventures this year and boosting fitness together!
…and remember, we all have to start somewhere!
Got any questions or need some tips about something?
Let me know in the comment below and I'll get working on posts to answer them for you.

if you ever want to know the acceptance of fashion industry and their logos. You must understand five cardinal points on the basis of which they are considered good. In the fashion industry, there are many people who take care of marketing, sales and manufacturing departments. Fashion is also considered as an arena to express likes and dislikes. Best clothing brand logos and their qualities will help us know the flaws in the stars of so not perfect logos.
The back drop of logos in the competitive fashion industry requires a lot of hard work. It is not only because of the rate of opposition, but the play of criticism has reached the height. So, here are some of the known ways to deal with the situations.
Five main qualities of clothing brand logos
Making sure that the logo is equally decent and attractive is the first jack pot to achieve. Secondly, it has to be accessible, memorable and should have some sort of an impact. Third and fourth quality links to innovative designs and perfect logo to target the audience. Last but not the least, clothing brand logos should be distinctive and shouldn't fall into heads of many noob designers.
Let's discuss each point separately.
1. Decency and attractiveness
Complicated designed are hard to remember. Saying that, best logo designers have the idea of how to play all decent with the element of attractiveness. They know which colors to choose to make it stand out. In addition to these, the experts of the field also know how exactly the symmetry works and what are the core ingredients of an exceptionally good logo.
2. Accessibility and easy to remember
Clothing brand logos have another quality which can't be ignored. It means that the logo should be such which can be scaled down or sideways or up. And the changes shouldn't actually make them look bad. Therefore, it also means that the logo should have the potential to look same from all the sides.
3. Well played innovative ideas
An expert professional believes in standing out of the crowd, being innovative in all senses and to bring maximum futility for the audience.
4. Clothing brand logos should be targeted to the right people
If the clothing brand is for a particular class or people living in a society, then it is imperial to study:
- Customers' psychology
- Responses based on the quality of work or brand itself
- How does the audience react to certain things, etc?
5. Be distinctive while designing
Logos which are made by experts stands out from the rest because they are so unique and different. They are also amazing when it comes to the competition. Not on the basis of what does their competitor do for logos but for the matter of how it should be in the given brand.
To cut it short, clothing brand logos need to have some basic grounds on the basis of which they are judged. Simplicity rocks the world with bitter harsh realities. Audience should be targeted which actually means the minds and psychology of customers' needs to be known. There are many other components which should not be ignored. And those include: timelessness, versatility and appropriateness. All these elements come in shape to make an awesome logo.

Someday, scientists may be able to explain why there are some people who have a strong desire to perform on stage, and other people who want to watch them.
There are no rewards other than applause for these artists, who give up nights with their families or other activities to rehearse after working all day, just to do what they love.
That passion is strong and has led to the building of many theaters throughout our area and across the country to give those performers and other volunteers an outlet.
Our area's community theaters owe a great deal to the volunteers who devote countless hours to getting those shows on stage.
The Players Theatre honored some of them last weekend at the company's first gala fundraising dinner, an elegant evening at Michael's On East that recognized the contributions of more than 30 performers, directors and backstage volunteers from the Players' first 60 years.
As the area's oldest performing arts organization, the Players has a lot of history to celebrate. All the other groups are youngsters in comparison, even though they provide the same kind of service and entertainment.
There have been many memorable performers and productions on the Players' stage over the years from people who might have gone on to professional careers if they had been so inclined, and even from those with no such desires.
But as much as audiences have received from those shows, the theater has provided something even more important to the people who worked on them — a sense of purpose, direction and camaraderie.
Polly Holliday, one of the theater's more famous alumni, sent a note for the dinner's program book, saying that she "joined The Players just for fun" while she was a teacher in Sarasota. Her experiences led her to a professional career, including performances at the Asolo Repertory Theatre before she became famous as Florence Jean Castleberry, the waitress on "Alice" who was fond of saying "kiss my grits."
"It's great when what you do for fun becomes your education and your profession," she wrote. "I'm sure many people have had their lives enriched by 'doing a play' at The Players Theatre."
Holliday didn't attend the dinner, but there were quite a few "veterans" on hand for the event, a smoothly run affair that was hosted by director Bob Trisolini and featured musical performances drawn from those six decades by some of the theater's current stars, including Kathryn Parks, Jennifer Massey, KJ Hatfield, Gordon Gregory and Catherine Randazzo.
It was fun sharing some memories with Larry Golden (with his wife, Lisa) and hearing how their own children have carried on the theater tradition. Larry was one of the first actors I ever saw on a Sarasota stage when I moved here in the mid 1980s. There was Sarah Hynd Conway, who always stood out because she was tall and funny, before she became the theater's managing director.
I caught up with Donna Culbreth, who danced her way through many shows in the 1980s and early 1990s before returning to community theater in the last couple of years. (She'll be in the Players' upcoming production of "Annie.")
In her program notes, Culbreth said she felt a loss when she gave up her professional dancing career to get married. So, when she moved to Sarasota, she got involved at the Players, and after "Jesus Christ Superstar" in 1988, there wasn't a musical in which she didn't appear during the years that the late artistic director Peter Strader and choreographer Anya Flesh worked together.
Jeanne Corcoran, Sarasota's current film commissioner, performed at the Players in the 1980s and described it as "not only a joyous, exhilarating experience that helped me grow in my abilities as an overall performer, but it was also a key in the door that led to the career I have today."
The stories are touching reminders of the impact the arts have on our lives, and how our involvement and support helps to touch so many others.

Anti-natalist in India wants to sue parents for giving birth to himBy Catholic News Agency
- February 8, 2019
MUMBAI, India – An Indian businessman has expressed his intention to sue his parents for giving him life without his permission.
Six months ago, Mumbai resident Raphael Samuel brought the case up during breakfast to his parents, both of whom are lawyers, according to the BBC.
He is currently looking for a lawyer to take his case, for which he argues that people should be compensated for a life they did not request. He has not yet found a lawyer.
Samuel is a self-proclaimed anti-natalist, a position which views birth as essentially negative. Since the begetting of life precludes the consent of the begotten, Samuel has said it is unfair for parents to bring children into a world that involves suffering.
In a recent demonstration on his YouTube page, Samuel gave insight into reason behind the lawsuit. He said that if consent is not established before birth, then people do not owe their parents anything and should be financially maintained for the rest of their lives.
"Basically, I want everyone in India, and the whole world, to realize one thing – that they are born without their consent and that they do not owe their parents anything," he said.
Samuel has promoted his anti-natalist philosophy on his Facebook page, Nihilanan. He often posts pictures of himself in a fake beard and sunglasses with messages claiming that reproduction is hypocritical and based on the self-interest of the parents.
"Isn't forcing a child into this world and forcing it to have a career, kidnapping, and slavery?" Or, "Your parents had you instead of a toy or a dog, you owe them nothing, you are their entertainment," he wrote in some of the Facebook posts.
The case has not caused a riff between him and his parents, as one might suspect. In a recent statement, his mother, Kavita Karnad Samuel, said she was proud of her son for his independent thinking.
He told the BBC that humanity's absence from the world would not only be a solution to human suffering, but also an improvement for the planet.
"There's no point to humanity. So many people are suffering. If humanity is extinct, Earth and animals would be happier. They'll certainly be better off. Also no human will then suffer. Human existence is totally pointless," he said.
"I know it's going to be thrown out because no judge would hear it. But I do want to file a case because I want to make a point," he told the BBC.
By contrast, the Church teaches clearly the value of human life.
In his 1995 encylical Evangelium vitae, St. John Paul II wrote that "man is called to a fullness of life which far exceeds the dimensions of his earthly existence, because it consists in sharing the very life of God," and that the gift of human life is unexpected and undeserved.
"Even in the midst of difficulties and uncertainties, every person sincerely open to truth and goodness can … come to recognize in the natural law written in the heart the sacred value of human life from its very beginning until its end, and can affirm the right of every human being to have this primary good respected to the highest degree," the pope wrote.

This past week, several consumer actions made headlines that affect the retail industry.
The NAD Refers Sports Drink Maker to FTC
The NAD has referred BA Sports Nutrition, the maker of BodyArmor sports drinks, to the FTC after the advertiser failed to alter certain comparative ads. The ad at issue implores customers to "Ditch artificial Sports Drink[s]: artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners, artificial colors" and depicts a bottle of a competing sports drink. The NAD found that the ad implied that the competing sports drink contained artificial flavors, sweeteners and colors when, in fact, many of the competitor's sports drinks did not.
Bumble Bee to Plead Guilty in Tuna Fish Conspiracy
The Department of Justice announced that Bumble Bee Foods LLC agreed to plead guilty to conspiring to fix the price of certain tuna fish products, including canned and pouched tuna. Bumble Bee has agreed to pay a $25 million criminal fine, which could swell to $81.5 million if the company were to be acquired by a separate entity in the future. Bumble Bee is cooperating in the DOJ's ongoing tuna fish price fixing investigation. We previously reported on evidence of a tuna fish conspiracy, which surfaced when the DOJ reviewed a proposed acquisition of Bumble Bee.
President Trump's FDA Commissioner Approved
The U.S. Senate approved Dr. Scott Gottlieb as a new Commissioner at the Food and Drug Administration. Dr. Gottlieb is a physician and former deputy FDA commissioner. The confirmation vote was 57-42 in favor of his confirmation. Dr. Gottlieb was sworn in on May 11, 2017.

Answered by a workplace fall accident lawyer:
Hands down, work related fall accidents are one of the most common types of work accidents in Pennsylvania. This means there are lots of Philadelphia lawyers who would gladly handle the case. However, work fall accidents often involve two distinct areas of law: fall accident law and workplace accident law.
While many accident lawyers know how to handle trip and fall or slip and fall accident cases, not many accident lawyers handle work related accident cases. Also, no two lawyers are the same. This means that tactics and outcomes vary and will depend largely on the lawyer you ultimately choose to hire. This is certainly true in a work accident case in Philly. Finding the best accident lawyer for your case requires doing homework.
In addition, it is important to note that work accidents often involve workers' compensation issues in addition to separate work accident legal issues. Depending on the type of fall accident and where it happened, there may be complex OSHA requirements at issue in the case. If the case was a roof fall accident or other fall from a height, there may be multiple parties in the case. For instance, for a fall accident where a worker falls from a roof due to lack of a guardrail, there could be at least 3 or 4 parties in the case including the general contractor, a subcontractor, etc.
Ensuring Maximum Financial Compensation in a Workplace Fall Accident Case
In order to ensure maximum financial compensation in a Philadelphia workplace fall accident case, it is crucial to have the case reviewed by an experienced work accident lawyer. All avenues for compensation must be explored, and the case must be aggressively prepared for trial. Insurance companies pay attention to the lawyers who take cases to trial and those who don't.
There are many factors you should consider to help you find the best workplace fall accident lawyer for your case. Look for experience, reputation, and results. Most of all, be sure to hire a lawyer you trust. Go with your gut. If a lawyer shoves a contract in your face, take your time, don't feel rushed to sign anything.

A virtual private network, or VPN, is a great tool for securing your Web traffic and shielding your privacy online. Most are very affordable (there are even some fine free VPN services) and many come with a slew of additional features intended to make Web surfing a little more secure. But even the best VPN will almost always slow down your Internet connection, too.
Don't despair. This isn't one of those zero-sum games where you have to choose between convenience and security. Included in this roundup are the fastest VPNs I have tested so far, based on speed testing of downloads and uploads with each VPN service enabled.
What Do You Mean by Fastest VPN?
There are many different ways to evaluate an Internet connection. The tools that I use provide three metrics: Latency, download speeds, and upload speeds.
Latency is a measurement of time between when your computer sends a request and when it receives a response. Lots of things can affect latency, but the distance your request physically travels through fiber has a big impact on this metric.
Download and upload speeds are measured in megabytes per second. So, a 30Mbps connection is moving 30Mb every second. Simple.
I'll go into greater explanation about these three metrics and how I collect them below. But choosing which is most important is tricky. Mostly, it depends on how you're using your Internet connection. When I wrote this list, I assumed that most people reading it would, like me, be major consumers of Internet content. Reading the news, streaming movies, or listening to music on the Web all require that your device be pulling down data more or less continuously. With that in mind, I've settled on download speeds as the most important benchmark.
So, when I say the "fastest" VPNs, I mean, first and foremost, those that have the least impact on download speeds. In case that doesn't really apply to you, I've also included the best-performing VPN in each of the three tests so you can decide which works best for you. But first, it's important to understand why VPNs slow Internet connections in the first place.
Why Do VPNs Slow Your Connection?
Using a VPN tends to slow down Internet connections simply because it adds more steps to the process of transferring data over the Web. When you browse without a VPN, your Web browser sends a request through your local network, out onto the public Internet, and to a Web server that responds with the requested information. This is what happens every time you click a link or type in a URL. It's how the Internet works.
When you activate a VPN, your Web traffic is routed through an encrypted tunnel. It travels through this secret tunnel to a server operated by the VPN company. It then exits its encrypted tunnel and enters the public Internet.
These extra steps degrade your Internet connection speeds, simply by adding more fiber, more computers, and more physical distance to the equation. But using a VPN helps protect your data and personal security.
Routing your traffic through an encrypted tunnel means that nobody on the same network as you, not even whoever manages that network, can snoop on your activities. This protects against a lot of scary scenarios, particularly man-in-the-middle attacks. That's when a bad guy intercepts and copies all the information you send and receive through the Internet, putting himself between you and the rest of the Internet.
Spies and, more frequently, advertisers can correlate your movements across the Web by capturing identifying information. There may be, for example, a tracker inside an ad on website A and another tracker from the same company on website B. The same company captures some piece of identifying information and notes that you appeared at one site and then the other.
Because your Web traffic appears to be coming from the VPN's server and not your computer or mobile device (yes, there are VPN apps for Android and iPhone), any observer will see the VPN server's IP address and not your own. That makes it much harder to correlate your movements across the Web.
You can also use a remote VPN server to spoof your location. For example, you could be sitting in Chicago and select a VPN server in Australia. Your traffic would then make a trip down under before continuing on as normal. To people trying to track you, you'd appear to be surfing from Australia. This is especially useful if you're keen to access region-locked streaming content. If you connect to a server within the UK, free BBC TV streaming is suddenly available. It's also a useful tool for when you are connecting in countries that have strict or repressive Internet regulations.
Speed Up Your VPN
There are a few ways you can offset the speed-reducing effects of using a VPN. First, choosing a service with many servers means that you're more likely to find one that isn't crowded with other people all trying to use the same bandwidth. Having many servers in different locations also means you're more likely to find one that's physically close to you, shortening the distance your data must travel.
Private Internet Access meets all these criteria: It has well over 3,000 servers across the globe. Of those, 1,600 are spread across 10 locations in the US alone. If you live in this country, you're very likely to find a nicely un-crowded server that's close by. The ubiquity of its servers also means you're likely to find a server nearby no matter where you travel.
Another approach is to offer purpose-specific servers. NordVPN, for example, has a high-speed server earmarked for video streaming. The company's collection of these special servers is a great way to offer customers a better experience, one tailored to their needs. It even offers Tor-over-VPN servers.
Also important is the protocol the VPN service uses. Connecting to a VPN service using the OpenVPN protocol generally yields a faster experience. Plus, OpenVPN is, as the name implies, open source. That means it has been picked over for flaws and exploits by thousands of volunteers. If you're concerned about speed and security, selecting a service that supports OpenVPN and makes it available by default is important.
And while it's vanishingly rare, some VPN servers can actually make your Internet connection faster. The reason for this isn't always clear, and it may just be a result of local network trouble during the no-VPN baseline testing. But in some cases, you may be connected to higher bandwidth Internet infrastructure somewhere else in the world. In my testing, I found that PureVPN actually yielded download speeds 166.6 percent faster with the VPN enabled than without.
What's the Fastest VPN?
When I test VPNs, I try to get a sense for the impact a service has on Internet performance by finding a percentage difference between using the VPN and not using the VPN for several speed measurements. First, I run several tests without the VPN active and average the result. This is my baseline. I then do the same thing but with the VPN active. To stress-test the VPN services, I connect to a far-flung server, usually in Australia, if one is available.
Usually, this results in a large, very noticeable impact in latency as well as download and upload speeds. Below, you can read the details on each test the top three services for each. I consider this to be the most important test, since download speeds directly impact how users consume content. The nearby table also shows all the test scores, and the best performers in each. I have tested each of these services in as repeatable manner as possible, but it's worth remembering that networks can be fickle things. Your mileage with these services will almost certainly vary. Even the time of day you connect may make a difference.
All of the results in the nearby VPN Performance Tests table and the discussion that follows were taken from the Speedtest.net tool, from Ookla. Note that Ookla is owned by PCMag's publisher, Ziff Davis. Note that while the VPNs are sorted by order of their overall rating in the table at the top of page, the performance tests table shows the results of their speed testing.
In my latency testing, I've found that the results are mostly clustered together. So far, the lowest latency server I've found is PureVPN. That service increased latency by only 188.8 percent. VyprVPN was the next-best, increasing latency by 220.5 percent. (VyprVPN didn't, however, have download scores that merited including it in the fastest VPN list.) Rounding out the top three was NordVPN, which increased latency by 232.9 percent. This sounds catastrophic, but it's important to remember that latency is measured in milliseconds.
For upload testing, I had a surprise winner with the VPN service built into the Opera browser. It reduced upload speeds by only 6.8 percent. The Opera browser isn't really a VPN service, but I mention it because its results in this test were so remarkable.
The next three best services for upload speeds are led by NordVPN, which slowed uploads by 31.1 percent. After that is FrootVPN, which reduced speeds by 32.6 percent. Finally, there's TunnelBear, which reduced speeds by 32.7 percent. Note that TunnelBear is not included in my list of the fastest VPNs, as its download speeds did not merit inclusion.
Probably the most important metric for the average user, however, is download speed. If you're streaming video or downloading large files, this is what you really care about. As mentioned, PureVPN leads this test, actually improving download speeds by 166.6 percent. It's an astonishing result, but it's not alone in improving download speeds. ExpressVPN boosted download speeds by a respectable 23.6 percent, and IPVanish by 9.2 percent.
Is the Fastest Always the Best?
As for an overall winner in my speed tests, it's hard to beat the results PureVPN, the download speed winner, produced. NordVPN is also noteworthy, as it made it to the top three in two separate tests.
If you're shopping for a VPN service, remember that speed is just part of the equation. Pricing and the number of devices that can be used with an account are, in my opinion, more important. I also prefer VPN services with lots of servers and a good geographic distribution of those servers. Ease of use and a well-made local client also go a long way toward getting PCMag's endorsement.

Melissa Marr's best-selling Wicked Lovely series is in the works to be turned into a movie, and the pieces are finally starting to fall together as the main staff lines up.
Mary Harron, the director best known for American Psycho, has come on board to direct the movie based on Marr's five-book series. Another director, Kimberly Pierce (Boys Don't Cry) was initially slated to direct the film, but she has left for unknown reasons. But so far, it seems like Harron is here to stay.
The script is being written by Caroline Thompson (Edward Scissorhands), and one of the producers of the project is actor Vince Vaughn.
There are no reports currently on whether this will be a series of movies, or just one based loosely on all five books. We'll keep you updated as news comes in.

Realistically, your not going to be able to implement every aspect of your marketing strategy all by yourself.
It's very possible that you're an amazing lawyer but a less than stellar graphic designer. Or maybe, you are brilliant when to comes to building websites but you just don't have the time. Or even, if you have the time, maybe it's more cost effective to have someone else market for your law firm as oppose to spend your own time doing it. Afterall, you chose the law as your career path so that should be where your primary focus is. There's no shame in asking someone, or even several different people for help in order to build the strongest brand possible.
Also, there are a variety of hiring options when you're looking to outsource talent. In addition, to traditional means such as placing a help wanted ad on your own you can also try one of the numerous available sites such as Craigslist.com, Fiverr.com and 99designs.com which have creative talent from across the country available for hire at a nominal cost.

No doubt about it, Discovery Channel's Shark Week gets a lot of attention with more than 2.5 million viewers in 2015. However, the network has been criticized for focusing only on the few large and charismatic species like great white sharks while ignoring 400+ other species, sensationalizing shark attacks despite their rarity, causing mass confusion with a mockumentary about the existence of Megalodon sharks (they are EXTINCT), and missing major opportunities to support conservation efforts.
At the same time, I can credit a Shark Week documentary for getting me involved in shark research. After watching Air Jaws, I knew I had to get to South Africa to see great whites breaching out of the water, which led me to graduate school at the University of Cape Town, where I worked on several shark research projects. This propelled me into my role now researching and advocating for coastal sharks in Florida. But I couldn't help wondering… with so many cool shark species out there, innovative science and interesting questions being asked, why was Shark Week focused on such narrow subjects?
Slowly, over the past few years, it seems Discovery is striking a better balance with "edu-tainment" style programs. New shows are featuring real scientists discussing their research and contributing facts, not just hyped up scare tactics. Programs like "Alien Sharks" increase the exposure of little known shark species like the frilled shark. Sharkopedia is the informational page hosted on Discovery's website and Shark Week is supporting some conservation efforts.
One major miss, in my opinion, is a lack of diversity in hosts and presenters. Very few on-screen contributors are women, even though I can quickly name dozens of female researchers and advocates that could significantly contribute to the programs. I have female colleagues that are slogging
through mangroves studying lemons sharks, tracking down endangered sawfish in Africa, using DNA analysis to trace illegal shark catches, teaching thousands of kids every year to care about sharks, and fighting on an international scale to enact better protections for sharks worldwide…just to name a few.
When I started watching Shark Week, I wanted to see the sharks and would suffer through the attack re-enactments, fake blood, and girls in bikinis to learn what I could. I was thrilled to see Dr. Alison Kock finally featured a few years ago, fully-clothed, talking about her work on the movements of great white sharks along False Bay, South Africa. It seemed about time since she was the only scientist working in the area on these sharks that had been the mainstay of Shark Week for years. And this year, even more female friends are being featured. Victoria Elena Vasquez, a researcher from California, is on "Alien Sharks", Lindsay Graff and Cristina Zenato are on "Sharktacular", and Barbara Wueringer's work is featured on the sawfish show. The work of others is featured throughout the week.
My friend and fellow Mares sponsored diver, Ornella Weideli, is featured on "Shark Storm". Ornella is a PhD candidate with incredible field experience investigating aspects of several shark species' life histories, community ecology and dietary patterns. She has studied the diets of young lemon sharks in the Bahamas, worked with large species like hammerheads in Florida and dived with massive bull sharks in FIji. She is currently working on her PhD project using creative techniques to learn how juvenile sicklefin lemon sharks and blacktip reef sharks coexist in shallow nursery areas on an isolated atoll of the Seychelles in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
Co-leading the science on "Shark Storm" with Dr. Tristan Guttridge, Ornella and the team shows viewers the social behaviors of sharks in incredible locations from Cocos Island, Mexico, to the Bahamas. She will also be showing millions of viewers that women can do all aspects of shark research.
In 2012, Ornella and I, along with Ruth Harries and Lindsay Biermann made up four of the 6-person science team, tagging large coastal sharks in Jupiter, Florida. One night, an award-winning journalist and his film crew joined us on the boat. After interviewing the lead scientist, who happened
to be male, the journalist turned to us four and his only question was "What is it like being girls in this field?" This question seemed irrelevant since he
had just watched us handle an 8.5-foot lemon shark, collect blood and tissue samples, measure her from nose to tail, record the data and release the animal in just a few minutes. I commented that the field of sharks, like science in general, may have a reputation for being male-dominated but those of us on the ground know the reality: there is work to be done and women ARE contributing significantly.
My hope is that Discovery Channel's Shark Week continues to integrate science and facts to educate its viewers and uses its extensive reach
to effectively support conservation. I hope producers continue to recognize the vital work of women in shark science and advocacy. Because when millions of female viewers see someone that looks like them on one of the most popular shows on TV, it is bound to inspire them to get involved and we all know sharks need the help!
Tune into Discovery Channel's Shark Week starting July 23rd for all the shows mentioned above and many other programs and follow our Twitter conversations about the programs @SharkStudies using hashtags #SharkWeek and #WomeninStem and #SharkLadies

Hardstyle History
In 1998, one of the most respected music producers gabber, performing under the moniker The Prophet began to experiment with their music, adding to it elements of hard trance, house and hardcore. After slowing down music took on a new character beginning the hardstyle history. In the meantime, the Prophet joined forces with Dan van Dreven, which soon began performing as we know the Lady Dana. The new solution's described as "hardstyle" and the artists themselves hailed as forerunners of the genre. Turn to the new trend set about: DJ Scot Project, Luna, Pavo, Isaac, Pila. First major event, which played songs of this new genre of electronic dance music, was Qlimax. At that time, the new duets DJ States, such as: Alpha Twins, Showtek, Deepack. Deepack It was created in 2003 anthem Qlimax'u Fri "The Prophecy". It was not only a breakthrough for the same DJs, but also an important moment in the development of the species and all the fans hardbass(hard bass packs).
Came from hard trance, gabber with influences from United kingdom difficult residence and jumpstyle. The spot of beginning is believed to become the Netherlands, the place the first hardstyle occasions started out near the end of 1999 plus the starting of 2000. Individuals approved within the growth with the type is Dov J. Elkabas aka The Prophet, Raoul Van Grinsven aka Dj Zany, Wouter and Sjoerd Janssen aka Showtek and Dana van Dreven aka Lady Dana.
Hardstyle history, later period.
In 2007 the fashion began turning into common in numerous countries inside the world, which include: Belgium, Poland, Estonia, Denmark, Australia, South Africa and Uk.
The English sound was really preferred during the Netherlands for any quick time, nevertheless it soon appeared that the Dutch public preferred a more difficult bassline. Performers like Dana, and Pavo & The Prophet combined the English sound with new productions. The following sound also gained some popularity in Germany, the place it was grabbed by the German label Tracid Traxxx (who defined their own sound as a blend of trance and acid), and later also by Blutonium Records and Resident E Recordings.
Soon after, hardstyle productions briefly grew to become well-known in Italy, and later in Germany. This resulted in the emergenece of new hardstyle which eventually attained and became well-known inside the Netherlands. Q-Dance organised a monthly event from the (recognized today as the North Sea Venue) as Qlubtempo, an occasion which may be known as the melting pot of the Hardstyle history. Presently hardstyle occasions are quite common in Dutch clubs. Performers who had never accomplished inside the Netherlands prior to were flown over to provide there the new sound. Musicians such as Technoboy, Super Marco May, and Gary D received a substantial popularity within the Netherlands this way.
Hardstyle is often concidered a growing star the same manner house music was, with events like Qlimax, Hardbass, Defcon.1 and many others the hardstyle sound collects hundreds and hundreds of fans from throughout the entire world.

"Palm oil producers in Malaysia -– along with the Malaysian government -– are committed to preserving the country's natural resources and biodiversity," said Mohd Salleh Kassim, APOC's executive director. "We want our consumers here in the U.S. to know that palm oil purchased in Malaysia is produced in a responsible, environmentally friendly manner. This announcement is a great step forward in providing our international consumers with the documentation to back-up our commitment to sustainable practices."
The Malaysia-based United Plantations Bhd last month received the RSPO Certificate of Conformance to RSPO Principles and Criteria.
Dedicated to promoting the growth and use of sustainable palm oil, the RSPO defines sustainable palm oil as production as "comprised of legal, economically viable, environmentally appropriate and socially beneficial management and operations." In order to obtain the RSPO certification, United Plantations Bhd participated in thorough investigations of its nine estates, six mills and conservation areas; interviews with management, staff and workers regarding management systems and social amenities; and a meeting with 150 of the company's stakeholders to ensure that the plantation fulfills each of the RSPO criteria.
"Much emphasis has been given to developing their commitment to sustainable palm oil," stated lead assessor David Ogg in the RSPO Assessment Report for United Plantations Bhd. "There is a clear commitment to RSPO by top management and by the staff and workers in the field."

According to the story, the building that houses the Haunted Adventure was formerly a factory run by two men who mysteriously disappeared in the late 1800s.

You don't know what lies above, below, or beyond as you wonder if you will escape with your life.

Paramount Global Sees Q3 Profit Rise, Despite TV Headwinds
Paramount Global saw a third-quarter profit hike thanks to new revenue from its streaming and film operations even as its largest business, linear TV, grappled with flat distribution revenue and a downturn in advertising dollars.
The New York owner of CBS, the Paramount movie studio and the Nickelodeon cable network said revenue rose 3% during the period, largely due to a 38% increase in its streaming business and a 14% hike from its film division, which benefitted from the latest releases in the "Mission Impossible" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" franchises. Revenue fell 8%, thanks in part to distribution fees that were essentially flat with the year-earlier period and a 14% decline in traditional video advertising.

The three leaf shamrock might be a symbol of St. Patrick's Day, but it's the four leaf clover that will bring you good luck if you're fortunate to find one and make a wish on it. This enchanting superstition from Ireland is part of a rich mosaic of worldwide traditions and customs for making wishes. It is also a wonderful context for practicing the grammar of conditionals and for stimulating some fun cross-cultural sharing in our classrooms.
"Around the World" with the Side by Side Gazettes
One of the most popular features in the Side by Side and Side by Side Plus programs is the Gazette — the mini-magazine that appears after every few units offering a review of grammar and vocabulary through high-interest feature articles, interviews, idiom practice, and other activities. Teachers and students often tell us their favorite Gazette feature is the "Around the World" section, a photo-rich lesson that serves as a springboard for students to share about their countries and cultures while simultaneously practicing the grammatical structures they have just learned.
Here's an "Around the World" lesson in Book Four that you might consider using around St. Patrick's Day for a classroom exploration of international wish-making while practicing If-Will conditionals. What will happen if you find that four leaf clover? In what country will you have good luck if you catch a falling leaf? Where will you have good luck if you throw three coins into a fountain and hear them splash? The lesson offers twelve customs, but your students no doubt will contribute many more. We've found that students really enjoy sharing these traditions, and you might even consider having them collaborate on a class publishing project to share their contributions with others.
If the Book Four lesson is beyond your students' ability-level, here's an "On Your Own" activity in Book Two that offers a simpler lesson on If-Will and the superstitions theme. Will you have good luck or bad luck if you put your shoes on a table? if you find a horseshoe? if you walk under a ladder? What will happen if your right eye itches? if your left ear itches? if you break a mirror? Your students will find the answers in this lesson.
Searching for Leprechauns on the Internet
As a fun enrichment activity on this theme (with a wee bit more practice with conditionals and "might"), your students might enjoy searching for answers to these questions and then sharing in class:
What are leprechauns?
If you follow them, what will they lead you to?
What color do people like to wear on St. Patrick's Day?
What might someone do if you don't wear this color on the holiday?
No matter how rich and varied your students' customs and traditions for making wishes may be, may all their wishes come true!

Free Antispam Scanner 1.13
Free Antispam Scanner - Modern anti-spam solution do very little to help businesses and individuals with this problem.
Free Antispam Scanner - Modern anti-spam solution do very little to help businesses and individuals with this problem.
The most advanced applications that use heuristics and boast a 99% spam exclusion rate don't mention that up to 13% of valid correspondence is lost in the process.
In addition, all "professional" spammers have research departments that make sure their messages pass most filters and fool popular spam fighting solutions, before they start their campaigns.
There is only one solution that they can't trick - Antispam Scanner. Why? Free Antispam Scanner is not a spam filter! Rather, it's a proactive antispam agent that launches pre-emptive strikes.
It does not matter what e-mail client you use. After the program is set up, Antispam Scanner connects to your mailbox and purges it free from spam right on the server. This way you don't have to download messages first. After the program "kills" all obvious spam and viruses, it processes the rest of the messages.
First, it searches for the messages that meet the white list criteria. These are not just the ones from the people you know. White list triggers may be certain keywords, like the names of products that are being sold in your web shop (Golf ball, HTML-2-RTF Pro, Presario, etc) or a typical subject line (Re: pet adoption, for example).
These are delivered to your mailbox. The rest of the messages will be parked in the "yellow zone". These are suspicious e-mails that may nevertheless be valid, like e-coupons or newsletters.
In most instances, you can simply look at the address and the subject line to see if it's spam or not.
Since the message (and attachments) parked in the "yellow zone" are not downloaded without your consent, you don't risk getting infected with a virus or spyware.
This solution is especially helpful for web businesses and organizations, because it's the only way to stop spam, without any risks!

A concert this Sunday at the Ira & Nancy Koger Center for the Arts in Columbia, SC, will commemorate the rescue in World War 2 of 49,000 Bulgarian Jews from being shipped to the Nazi death camps.
The Songs of Life Festival presentation, which includes as its centerpiece the oratorio "A Melancholy Beauty" by Bulgarian composer Georgi Andreev, will bring together 200 musicians from South Carolina and around the world. The music is in honor of the 70th anniversary of the saving of the Jews by religious and political leaders in Bulgaria.
The work will be presented in Charleston, NC on Saturday at the Charleston Music Hall before coming to Columbia the following evening.
According to The State, the concert was conceived by Kalin Tchonev, a Bulgarian native, and his wife Sharon, whose Bulgarian grandparents were saved by their gentile neighbors. The couple founded the South Carolina music production company Varna International 15 years ago.
"Three times the deportation was canceled," Sharon Tchonev described the historic context of the new work. Although Bulgaria was allied with Nazi Germany, she said, King Boris III, who is featured in the oratorio, "played his cards closely" to defy Hitler's orders.
The Eastern Orthodox Christian church was most powerful in its opposition, expressing outrage and pressuring the king and government officials, particularly after Jews in Bulgarian-annexed lands of Macedonia and Thrace were deported to Auschwitz and Treblinka. The story is told of one priest who scaled a wall where Jews were being held in one city and said he would go wherever they went.
The couple commissioned composer Andreev, chief conductor of the State Folklore Ensemble, and librettists Scot Cairns and Aryeh Finklestein to create the work.

However, not much has changed over the years. A whitepaper is still a whitepaper. You fill in a form, you download it, you read it. How can we spice the trusty eBook up and make it more engaging?
Interactive content is a marketing trend that many smart marketers are getting clued up on. Instead of exploring interactive content on a broad level, today I want to dig deep on how you can make your eBooks and whitepapers more interactive.
Finding a topic and testing small
If you're looking to get a quick start, then I highly recommend you take already existing piece of content or eBook (providing it's still relevant) and giving it an interactive spin.
We'll get into the logistics in a second (the costs and effort of testing are lower than you'd think), but for now think of this b2b marketing tactic in terms of framework. Interactive eBooks work best in a course format.
So, if you're thinking about creating interactive content out of an existing eBook, first decide if the different chapters and sections would make sense in a course format.
Can you picture these chapters making up the components of a course syllabus?
Repurposing content might not always be the best course of action. If you're looking for a fresh start then be sure to go broad and research accordingly.
A great tool for finding topic ideas is BuzzSumo. Type in a keyword and you'll find the most popular pieces of content related to that keyword. This a great tactic when looking for the hottest and most popular topics right now.
Once you have a topic for your interactive eBook, it's time to get creating.
Building your interactive eBook
Interactive content does sound sexy, but the potential resources needed to create it can be incredibly daunting.
Luckily, there are tools out there that make it super easy to create interactive guides quickly and easily. One that I highly recommend is Guides.co.
Guides.co gives you a platform to easily create and promote interactive guides. You can structure content in different sections and give readers actionable tasks, which is what makes them truly interactive.
The other benefit is that you can embed media elements like video, which is something you can't do with ordinary eBooks.
Because you're giving your readers specific activities throughout each step of your guide, it gets them to commit to your content and actually take some form of action.
The more they invest themselves into your content, the more likely they will be to take a stronger call-to-action at the end of your content, such as a consultation or purchase.
Another great Guides.co feature is how it provides landing pages. Check out The Ultimate Growth Hacking Sourcebook for example. It has a description, course overview and author bio, which helps to position yourself as an expert.
Most importantly, it's conversion-driven, as people must opt-in to read your content. This saves you the effort of building landing pages from scratch.
Now you have your content and a platform to deliver it in, it's time to drive traffic. A good distribution plan is key to effective content marketing, so let's dig in.
Distributing & driving traffic to your interactive eBook
Distributing your interactive content is no different to ordinary content, and although it's a complete topic in itself it does deserves a mention here.
First off, be sure to distribute amongst your owned media. Mentioning it in relevant blog posts, sending out to your email list and making your customers and partners aware is a good start.
If you've established strong influencer relationships, be sure to ask them for help in getting the word you. Good influencer marketing ensures a strong win-win-win situation, so make sure there's value for both your influencers as well as their audiences. Relevancy is key.
Communities are an undervalued source of valuable followers. If you're not establishing yourself as a presence in forums and other communities relevant to your market, now is a good time to do so.
It's often seen as a fairly old school digital marketing practice, but as long as you're targeting active and passionate communities this still works very well.
Finally, if you're using paid amplification, such as Outbrain and Twitter ads, make sure you test the receptiveness of your interactive content on a small scale first.
Platforms like Outbrain are more geared towards traditional articles, but Twitter, Facebook ads and the like may work very well.
Interactive content is growing increasingly popular right now, but like all content marketing efforts it should always contribute to your overall marketing goals.
The great thing about interactive eBooks is that, as your readers progress, they're committing themselves to your content. Every time they take some form of action they're essentially giving a 'micro-yes'.
Each micro-yes makes them warmer to a call-to-action that guides them further down the funnel. So when they come to the end of your content be sure to ask them to commit further. T
his could be in the form of a purchase, consultation or other lead generation mechanism.
No matter what it is, take advantage of this heightened state of engagement and guide them further down your sales cycle. This is where the real success lies.
