I was surprised when I received an email from associates program introducing Amazon OneLink. Universal Amazon affiliate link. One link to rule them all (ok, not just yet).
As a long time Amazon affiliate, this is an exciting new feature for me. And a significant step from Amazon.
As most affiliate marketers know, Amazon is an excellent choice for promoting affiliate products. It is a massive store covering almost any product.
With a global market, Amazon is great for affiliate marketers from any county. But there was always one major problem with its affiliate tracking links.
Amazon links are country-specific. As you might now Amazon operates several online stores across the world with different domain name endings.
If you were promoting .com version products, you might be missing some revenue from international visitors.
For example, Guiseppe from the Italy might click your Amazon US affiliate link and make a purchase. But you'll get zero commission from that purchase.
It would only count if Guiseppe is from the US and made a purchase using Amazon US store.
Various link shortening services and WordPress plugins have emerged over time looking to solve this problem. Some successfully while some failed.
But this is all gray area as it is not confirmed nor disconfirmed if Amazon approves that kind of services.
It is well known that Amazon doesn't like other third party shortening services and highly recommends using its own link shortening tool (which is great by the way).
Up until now, affiliate links have only worked for the regional store it was generated for. But finally, in July 3d, 2017. Amazon has provided its own free solution. Amazon OneLink.
You now have the ability to monetize international traffic from the United Kingdom (UK) and Canada (CA) by automatically redirecting them to their local Amazon storefront to complete their purchases.
Be noted that in above steps I will mention some things related to WordPress. If you don't use WordPress you can still follow steps mentioned below.
What is Amazon OneLink?
Amazon OneLink is a tool in the Amazon Associate dashboard that allows you to link your different Amazon Associate accounts (from the US, UK, and Canada), providing geo-localised redirection from your affiliate website to a relevant Amazon product.
This will help you earn more affiliate income by converting website visitors from multiple countries at once.
OneLink is backward compatible. Once configured, it will work for all your new and existing Amazon affiliate links.
It also works with Amazon short links. Be noted, it does not work with third-party link shortening services.
Amazon OneLink currently only works for US, Canada, and UK Amazon associate accounts and can currently only be setup from your US associate account.
Hopefully, in future, this will be expanded to more Amazon stores. OneLink uses a script called oneTag.
The oneTag script analyzes Amazon links on your site and then interacts with them to land international traffic to the corresponding local Amazon storefront.
UK visitors will be redirected to amazon.co.uk, and Canada visitors will be redirected to amazon.ca.
After you link different regional accounts together, you can then install a JavaScript on your websites that will take care of redirecting users to the correct regional Amazon website with the correct sales tracking code for that region.
Why You Should Use Amazon OneLink?
If you want to utilize traffic from other countries, then Amazon OneLink is a way to go.
You can either set up the links manually (register and grab the affiliate id for each country) or use a 3rd party plugin/service for creating Amazon affiliate links.
The first one is obviously time-consuming. Using 3rd party plugins or services makes the job a lot easier but also brings potential issues.
Like compatibility problems between plugins, nor redirecting visitor correctly, hijacking commissions, mess affiliate links, etc. However, these all are slowly starting to change thanks to OneLink.
In short, if you have traffic from UK and CA coming to your site on which you have US Amazon affiliate links, then it is a good idea to take advantage of Amazon OneLink and see if you will earn extra cash from those locales.
How to Set Up Amazon OneLink?
If you use Amazon text links, you can now monetize international traffic coming to your website from the United Kingdom (UK) and Canada.
OneLink, as already mentioned, uses oneTag as a script that enables you to configure this functionality on your website.
Amazon claims that oneTag script does not interfere with any other scripts on your website.
Step 1 – Sign up an account for Amazon UK https://affiliate-program.amazon.co.uk/ and Amazon CA https://associates.amazon.ca/ if you didn't already
Step 2 – Once you have signed up, log in your Amazon Associates US account, click on "Tools" and select "OneLink."
Step 3 – Click on "click here to link" to start mapping your Store ID for proper traffic redirection.
Step 4 – Verify both by logging in respective accounts (UK and CA).
Step 5 – Click on "get the code here" under oneTag. Copy and integrate the code into the footer of your site.
If your theme doesn't have a section for inserting code (most premium have), you can use a plugin like Insert Headers and Footers (free) or add directly in your theme footer.php (it is recommended to use a child theme for any theme changes).
Copy the oneTag script that appears in the box and place it in the footer of your site(s). The same code is for all your sites so no need to register new for each.
Step 6 – Optional
You have the option to set 'Close Product Match' (default) or 'Exact Product Match' as your redirect preferences.
If you choose the Close Product Match preference, your UK and Canada visitors will be redirected to amazon.co.uk or amazon.ca in case exact or similar product is found.
Or to the search results page in the absence of a similar product on amazon.co.uk and amazon.ca.
If you choose the Exact Product Match preference, visitors will be redirected only when there is same product on amazon.co.uk or amazon.ca.
In the absence of an exact match, visitors will be redirected to amazon.com. By default, Close Product Match is set to increase monetization.
Let's understand this further with an example. John is a website owner who writes about latest mobile phones and uses Amazon's text links in his posts.
He uses US affiliate store links and mostly targets US visitors. He also gets 12% of his overall traffic from the UK, 10% from Canada. He chooses 'Exact Match' as his OneLink preference.
When a UK visitor reading post clicks on the link for Samsung Galaxy S8, he will be redirected to www.amazon.co.uk showing Samsung Galaxy S8 with price in GBP if the exact same product is available on www.amazon.co.uk.
If Samsung Galaxy S8 is not available on www.amazon.co.uk, the visitor will be led to Amazon US store. Same applies if the visitor was from Canada.
If John chooses 'Close Match' as his OneLink preference, then the same visitors in the example above will be redirected to the same product or a similar product on the relevant Amazon store (CA or UK).
In the absence of a similar product on amazon.co.uk and amazon.ca visitor will be redirected to the search results page.
You can now monetize your international traffic from Europe and Japan using OneLink. OneLink now monetizes traffic from United Kingdom, Canada, Italy, France, Spain, Germany, Japan and neighboring countries.
Amazon OneLink Javascript Code (oneTag)
The suggested deployment method on the Amazon Associate dashboard is to include a JavaScript to your site footer.
This JavaScript code goes through every link to detect Amazon links. Including in banners and Amazon widgets (as I understand) to replace them with a special redirect link.
The script will update existing Amazon links without the need for website owners to update existing links.
The redirect service detects your Amazon Associate "tag" in a link, figures out where the user is located using an IP address, and then replaces the associate tracking tag with the appropriate linked tag for the region before the user is redirected to their local Amazon store.
It also works with Amazon's amzn.to short links as long as they contain an Amazon associate ID tag. However, some may question if oneTag script will slow down the site and add to the page size.
While it surely adds few KB, after implementing oneTag and testing I didn't notice a significant slowdown of the site.
Check Matching Products
If you want to check which products appear on the UK and Canada storefronts, you can use Check matching products tool to verify. Just put the Amazon.com link for the product in the 'Enter the URL' box and click on 'Check.'
The table will show you the corresponding amazon.co.uk and amazon.ca links. This is a good way to test the difference between Exact match and Close match forwarding.
Try this use a few times to see if links are forwarding correctly. You can also up- and down-vote the results, which presumably helps Amazon's algorithm learn how to generate more relevant results.
You'll be able to view your earnings report in your UK/CA account. It will reflect under 'Redirected traffic' section of the Link Type Performance report.
The commission rates will be as per standard rate card prevalent in the UK and Canada.
Does Amazon OneLink Work With WooCommerce, Shortcodes and Third Party Plugins?
After testing it seems Amazon OneLink works with banners generated from Amazon Associates program as well as with native ads.
It works with content links and with links on images. I also noticed it works with links made with shortcodes from REHub theme (didn't test on other themes).
Amazon OneLink also seems to work with no issues with shortcodes and buttons made using Content Egg plugin. But it seems it doesn't work with WooCommerce or some WooCommerce plugins like YITH Compare.
Amazon OneLink PROS and CONS
Here are some advantages and disadvantages I noticed with Amazon OneLink service.
1. Unfortunately, Amazon OneLink only works when you embed the oneTag code onto your website. Then, links will geo-redirect when they are clicked by visitors from your site. It will not work on YouTube.
If most of your traffic comes directly to YouTube, not your own website, then you won't benefit from using OneLink. There are other options for you, though. I'd recommend taking a look at Genius Link instead.
2. Doesn't work with third-party link shortening services. This may be a huge bummer for people who oriented their entire affiliate links on site using third party shortening plugin or tool.
3. Can currently only be setup from your US Associate account.
1. Works with all existing Amazon affiliate links and short links created using Amazon shortening tool. This is for me most important. Imagine having to reapply all links again to utilize Amazon OneLink tool.
2. Easy to set up. It is straightforward and well explained how to configure OneLink and install oneTag.
FAQ About Amazon OneLink
Q: What about the traffic my site(s) get from other countries?
Traffic from other countries will continue to get directed to amazon.com pages.
Q: Does OneLink work for all Amazon text links?
Yes, as long as you have completed the one-time setup and use Amazon full links or Amazon short links on your site. Shortened links created by third-party link shorteners are currently not supported and will not be redirected.
Q: Does it work for readers on mobile devices?
Q: Where can I see my earnings from redirected traffic?
Earnings through the redirected traffic are available in the 'Redirected traffic' section of the Link Type Performance report in your UK and Canada accounts.
Q: How will my earnings for the redirected traffic be calculated?
Your redirected earnings will be calculated based on the standard fee table applicable for the UK and Canada programs.
Q: How would I get paid for my redirected traffic?
Your redirected earnings will show in your UK or Canada account and will be paid through the payment method you choose in your UK or Canada account settings.
Q: Do I need the UK or Canada bank account to get paid?
Not necessarily. If you do not have the UK or Canada bank account, you can choose to get paid either through check payment or a gift card.
Will This Work With Native Shopping Ads?
In short, yes. But currently you can only monetize traffic from the United Kingdom (UK) on your website with Native Shopping Ads.
With this feature, your visitors from the UK will be able to see ads for Amazon UK products and complete their purchases on Amazon.co.uk.
The products will have prices in GBP and details will be as per Amazon UK catalog. When your UK visitors click on these ads, they will be redirected to product detail pages on Amazon.co.uk.
This solution currently works only for Recommendation and Search variants of Native Shopping Ads. The feature will be soon extended to Canada also.
For Recommendation Ads, engine tries to find the closest matching products on Amazon.co.uk to Amazon.com product recommendations for any given page.
If an 'exact match' for a particular product on Amazon.com is not available on Amazon.co.uk, it selects a 'best match' from the UK catalog which is reasonably similar to the US products.
For Search Ads, engine uses the search phrases and category specified by you and searches the catalog in Amazon.co.uk to select the ads to be shown.
For both the variants, the ad unit will be hidden in case a sufficient number of products are not found in the Amazon.co.uk catalog.
Since exact matches for the US products might not always be available in the UK, this feature is currently not available for Custom Ads for which, Native Shopping Ads only show the products that have been specified by you.
All you have to do is map your US store ID with your UK store ID. If you have already mapped your US/UK stores (for OneLink), your UK traffic on Native Shopping Ads will start getting monetized on its own. You dont need to do anything further.
Native Shopping Ads will now show ads from Amazon.co.uk to users from the United Kingdom (UK).
Until this change, Native Shopping Ads displayed products only from Amazon.com, irrespective of the country which the visiting user was from.
If you map your US store ID with your UK store ID , UK visitors on your site will see ads from UK and upon clicking these ads, they will be re-directed to Amazon.co.uk.

OneLink Universal Amazon Affiliate Link Summary
Amazon took a step in the right direction by launching their OneLink tool.
With this solution, you are at least able to cover users who are from the US, Canada or the UK with one link.
This only works if you can add a Javascript to your website. After you linked your accounts with the Main Account, Amazon will present you with a code you have to install on your site.
The best place for the code is somewhere in your footer so that it will be displayed throughout your whole site.
But if you are a YouTuber and place your links in your video description, they won't redirect to the according store.
OneLink is currently only available for the Amazon Associate programs in Canada, United Kingdom, and the United States. These are Amazon's largest English language markets.
Although not stated explicitly by Amazon, I believe OneLink debut in these markets because it is easiest to match products across international catalogs when the stores are in the same language.
Associates can choose between "direct matches" where product links must link to an exact copy of the product, or "close matches" where a very similar product or search results may be displayed instead.
Before the introduction of OneLink, Amazon Associates would either have to come up with their own geotargeting solution or buy a tool which can redirect users.
OneLink is a simple and fast way for Amazon associate partners to unlock affiliate revenue from users in markets they typically don't reach.
In my opinion, this feature should have been released a long time ago. But better later than never.
This solution for sure is a step in the right direction. But still far away from what most Amazon affiliate partners would like to see.
Option to use the just one link for all Amazon locales without the need of third-party service, plugin or tool.
DISCLOSURE: My posts may contain affiliate links. If you buy something through one of those links, I might get a small commission, without any extra cost to you. Read more about it here.

Niger will not extradite al-Saadi Kaddafi even though the son of the slain Libyan leader violated his asylum conditions with "subversive" comments in a television interview, officials said on Saturday.
"Our position remains the same — we will hand Saadi Gaddafi to a government that has an independent and impartial justice system," government spokesperson Marou Amadou told reporters in Niamey.
Gaddafi, who took refuge in Niger after the fall of Tripoli ended his father Muammar's 42-year rule of Libya, told al-Arabiya television by telephone that he would return to his country and said a nationwide rebellion was brewing against its new rulers.
"I will return to Libya at any time," he said.
Gangs rule
"There is a rebellion that is going on day after day, and there will be a rebellion in the entire country," he said, adding that the Libyans were ruled "by gangs".
Libya's ruling National Transitional Council (NTC) responded with a renewed call to the Niger authorities to extradite al-Saadi Gaddafi, saying that relations between the neighbouring countries were at risk.
Amadou said that Gaddafi's comments were "subversive and unfortunate" and that all former close aides to the slain ruler who had taken refuge in Niger "must abstain from all agitation, all subversive behaviour".
"We would like to say to the NTC that Niger's government in no way approved or prompted this business, and we also are badly disappointed", Amadou said.
"It is with great bitterness that I say that al-Saadi Gaddafi, in predicting an imminent uprising in Libya, has contravened the terms and conditions under which we took him in."
Surveillance strengthened
But "our position is simple, we cannot deliver someone to a place where he risks being put to death and where he is not likely to have a dignified trial", he said.
Amadou said that the surveillance of Gaddafi had been seriously strengthened and that the government was considering sanctions against those who were guarding him.
He added that Niger had authorised the International Criminal Court to take over Gaddafi's case but it had not responded.
He took refuge in Libya's southern neighbour last August. Niamey has refused to extradite him despite repeated requests from the new Libyan authorities.
They accuse him of having "taken goods by force and intimidation when he led the Libyan football federation," according to international police organisation Interpol, which issued a "red notice" for his arrest.
Niger's President Mahamadou Issoufou said on November 11 that his country had granted political asylum to al-Saadi Gaddafi on "humanitarian grounds". –Sapa-AFP

Stitchbook VS Sketchbook
So you want to make a fabric book? I have two kits for you to chose from the Stitchbook Starter Kit and the new fabric Sketchbook. But which one should you choose?
There is no right or wrong answer, but here I will attempt to highlight the differences between the kits and give my recommendations.
There are 4 main considerations:
- Purpose
- Time
- Equipment
- Layout
Purpose: The first thing to think about is what sort of fabric book do you want to make?
Do you want to make a memory book with photographs or a textile art journal with fabric artwork on the pages?
If it's a photo album or scrapbook you want – the Stitchbook Starter Kit is great. It comes with the photo paper you need to create the photos already included as well as the lettering stampers that are used to create text inside the book. (With the Sketchbook you'll need to buy these things seperately).
Time vs Freedom: If you are pressed for time, the Sketchbook is ideal. It is pre-made so all of your time can be spent decorating the pages rather than constructing the book. This makes it quicker to complete.
The downside is that you can't customise the page backgrounds as much as in the Stitchbook Starter Kit. If you would prefer to spend more time creating patchwork or detailed backgrounds for your pages the Starter Kit would be a better fit.
Equipment: Do you have access to a sewing machine? If the answer is no, then the Sketchbook is the one for you!
The Starter Kit requires a sewing machine to construct the pages (although you can hand-sew the rest of it). The Sketchbook is designed so that it can be decorated with or without a machine, making it perfect if you are new to sewing or have your machine tucked away in the loft!
Landscape vs Portrait: The page orientation is an aesthetic decision – Which would suit your books content? The Starter Kit has portrait pages and the Sketchbook landscape ones.
How do you choose? Well, look at any photographs you are planning to use – are they mostly portrait or mostly landscape? If you are planning an art journal, what is your theme/ topic. Look at some reference pictures, what size are most of the images?
My recommendation:
I would recommend that you go for the Stitchbook Starter Kit for photo albums and scrapbooks, because it already includes the photo paper, and the portrait orientation will suit most photographs.
If you are creating an art journal I would recommend the Sketchbook because you can spend all of your time concentrating on making the artwork rather than construction of the book.
But really either way works! You can buy photo paper and lettering kits seperately to make the Sketchbook work as a photo album, or add artwork to the Starter Kit Stitchbook (and keep the photo paper for another project). The great thing about these kits is they are completely customisable. You can use them for whatever project you like!
What do you think?

So now that we're through the Challenge, the first month of college basketball is officially in the books. A good opportunity to check in around the league and see where the various teams are.
1. IU – No one in the nation has two better wins than KU and UNC. No one has a more stunning loss than Ft.Wayne. Still, I think it's fair to say that IU looks better than I'd anticipated, for two reasons…they're better defensively than I'd figured on and their rebounding has been outstanding. Those two areas are places where previous Tom Crean teams (some in the not-too-distant past) really struggled. I still think their point guard play isn't great and they're averaging 18 TOs a game, but they've looked impressive thus far.
2. Ohio State – Yes, they blew it at UVa last night, in what would have been the best win for the program in at least 2 years. Still, they're 6-1 and, collapse aside, the fact that they took it down to the wire on the road against a legitimately good opponent suggest that the Bucks may be able to get on the right side of the bubble this year, or better. As with IU, I think point guard issues are the potential limiter and you saw that late in the game yesterday. Defensively, though, OSU is totally legit.
3. Rutgers – Baby steps. Yes, their 6-1 isn't exactly filled with a murderer's row of victims, but the fact that they've done that and were able to be at least competitive with Miami on the road (lost by 12) suggests they're improved from a year ago…and that's with their best player, Corey Sanders, off to a miserable start. If he can turn it around, they might be good enough to steal 2 or 3 games in league play.
4. Minnesota – Again, this doesn't mean as much as it might suggest. They're 6-1 with an 8 point road loss to FSU…but they did beat Arkansas by 14 and a Texas Arlington team by 17 which beat Texas. Little Ricky desperately needs a major step forward to save his job. I'm still not sure he's going to get that, but they have to be at least a little bit encouraged by the start.
1. MSU – Not necessarily all the twists and turns, but I think the best case scenario would have been 5-3 if they'd beaten Arizona. No bad losses yet and some encouraging moments in the Bahamas and in Durham.
2. Wisconsin – Was surprised UNC handled them so easily in Maui but overall, their 5-2 is more or less reflective of what kind of team I think they are. The whole deal comes down to Nigel Hayes. If he plays smart basketball, focusing on playmaking and post ups as he did against Syracuse, I still think they're the best team in the conference. If he decides to try to prove that he's an NBA small forward, they could lose 6 games in the league.
3. Purdue – Two losses which don't mean much in a negative sense. 1 possession loss to Nova at home and then pulled close to make it respectable at Louisville yesterday. As opposed to continuing questions around Nigel Hayes, I think Caleb Swanigan has done a great job of playing to his strengths. He's shooting 64% from 3 but the most impressive number is that he only has 11 attempts from out there through 7 games. That's how he should be playing. He and Haas have been as good as advertised thus far. As a team, they're at 42% from deep so far. That won't continue but if they can even stay in the high 30s, it bodes well for them.
4. Michigan – They're 5-2 with good and bad moments mixed in there, and that's about what I expected. I do think they're a little better defensively but that all comes down to DJ Wilson. When he gets taken out of the game with foul trouble as he was last night, they're right back to the usual Beilein era incompetence at that end. Disappointing contributions from their freshman class so far as well. I've seen nothing so far telling me that they won't be a bubble team again. Not a disaster, but not great.
5. Illinois – Needed a good win over NC State at home the other night to stay out of the "worse than" column. They're 5-3, and though I think they're improved on last year's injury/suspension ravaged team, I haven't seen anything yet to convince me that a Tournament bid is likely. They have enough to be competitive most of the time but then I expected that…haven't seen signs indicating a big breakthrough is coming.
6. Northwestern – Wish I could say they were in that first category, because I'd like to see them break the 0 for forever tournament bid streak. However, they let great chances against Butler and Notre Dame slip away. They did beat Texas by 19 but Texas is looking bad right now, so not sure how much that'll mean down the line. The win over Wake helps a little bit in that it's another Power 5 victory. The thing is, I thought they'd be right on that borderline and as of now, there's nothing suggesting they've gotten beyond that. The good news is that Vic Law and Scottie Lindsey have taken steps forward but this team needs to prove it can get over the hump in big moments before you can say they're exceeding expectations.
7. Nebraska – Figured that without Andrew White, this bunch would have a tough time generating enough offense to win consistently and that's been the case thus far. Tough loss at Clemson but still a loss, and a game in which they could only manage 58 points. They have 3 losses already with games against Creighton and KU still on deck, so it's going pretty much according to expectations. Figured they'd be a bottom tier team and though they haven't been worse than I thought, remaining competitive in all three losses, they're still losing against the legitimate opponents they've faced.
1. Maryland – This might seem harsh to say about a team that's 7-1 but honestly, getting run at home by a not-great Pitt team the other night said a lot to me. Melo's been putting up points but his jumpshooting is again an issue and he's got more turnovers than assists, as he's not even primarily running the offense these days. Some of the guys I thought were primed for good seasons, like Dodd and Gill and Nickens, are really struggling right now. I don't think it's impossible they rally from here and carve out another tournament bid but ignore the record, this has NOT been a good start to the season in College Park.
2. Penn State – I've only got them here marginally…they're not *that* far off the mark. What put me over the edge was the blowout to Cincy on a neutral court…that shouldn't have happened. Otherwise, not terrible…new guys Carr, Stevens and Watkins have been more or less as advertised, and they did put up decent wins over GW and Georgia Tech recently. I just have expectations for this group that they can push for a first division finish and so far, I don't think they've shown quite that level of play. Entirely possible that they're a very different team come February, though, given their youth.
3. Iowa – Easily the most disappointing team in the league so far. Not that I thought they were set to contend but the Hawks have been blown out by UVa, beaten by 14 against Notre Dame, and lost 8 point games to Seton Hall and Memphis. They're 3-4 with ISU and Northern Iowa still on tap in December. I thought they'd have to fight to earn a Tournament berth but they're clearly worse than I'd anticipated. Their second leading scorer, freshman Tyler Cook, is out for awhile with injury, so things are heading in the wrong direction even from here. Too often, it's Peter Jok against the world. He's going to win the Big Ten scoring crown but I'm wondering if Iowa can win more than 4 or 5 games in the league.

Big Boi Clears Up Details On Gucci Mane's "OutKast" Record
AllHipHop Staff
(AllHipHop Rumors) Ahhhh man! It looks like we won't be actually getting that OutKast & Gucci Mane collaboration like we thought!
Remember a few months ago when Gucci Mane revealed on Snap Chat that he'd done a record for OutKast? He got many of their fans excited for the alleged forthcoming effort.
Big Boi recently took a moment to clarify some important details about the said record.
In an interview with Creative Loafing Tampa, Big Boi explaining that Gucci is actually on a record on Big's forthcoming solo project.
Big Boi explained that Gucci misspoke out of excitement since the record was really "jammin'."
Back in September Gucci posted a video saying,
"I just did a record for OutKast. I just did a record for Wayne. I just did a record for Boosie. I just did a record for Project Pat. I just did a record for E-40."
Well, Big Boi's new album should be complete by January 2017. As much as we all love Big Boi, we also always want a verse from 3 Stacks too!

Senior Vicente De La Torre has been playing basketball ever since he was in sixth grade and now he is officially coaching for the sport. He had been a team coach for two seasons and had gotten the inspiration from his little brother, whom he wanted to train for his first season. A second inspiration for him to start coaching was his past travel coaches. Torre had seen how much time his coaches put into their job and wanted to be a part of that. Another reason he chose to coach is because he felt that coaching would still keep him involved in the sport. He explains that his best-loved part is how he is able to monitor the players and how their skills mature as they continue to move on throughout the season.
As he watches the players he is coaching, he sees two very different perspectives of when he used to play and compares them. Torre stated, "Coaching is really different from playing because when you play, everything moves along so much faster… when you're coaching, the game seems to go by so much slower." Torre tend to combine his past experience with his coaching in order to teach all of the younger players. He uses his past experience to learn and create a unique technique using the information that he has gained from his experience. Torre does not only coach by himself but he is sometimes given advices and a variety of different point of views from other coaches, as well as referees, about his skills.
Torre has a particular method of coaching his athletes. Most of the time, he would pull the athletes aside one by one and gives the player the advice that is needed for that particular play. A comment given by Torre was, "I don't like to yell but I prefer pulling the athlete away for a one on one conversation. I feel like my point gets across more efficiently instead of shouting at the player." All of his techniques of his coaching that he uses is mainly described as a "laid back." His style does not involve shouting; instead, he considers it as a correcting, stern voice. During practices, he does not have any planned particular warm-ups aligned but he rather practice on working spots that could be "polished up a little bit." The more they practice, the higher the chance they have at winning their future games. Torre stated, "I don't favor set up or challenging warm ups. I'd rather do simple exercises to cover up the fundamentals."
Although Torre does not plan a future that involves mainly coaching, he would gladly take the chance if he is offered. After being a coach, Torre clarified that with his experience of being a coach, he has learned to be more patient with people and discovered a variety of unique techniques that could be used in future games. Even though coaching is not a big part of Torre's life, he enjoys doing it as a small hobby.

Our Capital Region students lead out in Outreach efforts this week at Epicenter conference!
Our Capital Region students lead out in Outreach at the Epicenter 2012 conference
Kailee and Becca are two of our students involved in our movements at local campuses in the Capital Region who attended our Epicenter Experience conference in Albany this week. They both experienced some great opportunities to reach out to students and other people right here in the Capital Region with 288 other students at the conference on Wednesday afternoon of this week. Some students served at the Homeless Shelters and some looked for ways to start spiritual conversations on campuses and in downtown areas. Kailee and Becca share their stories below from the stage of the conference! We praise God for their steps of faith and especially for the young man who works at Dunkin Donuts who received Christ!
Thank you for praying for and financially supporting this ministry so that we, together with you, can be a part of investing in the lives of students for the King's eternal purposes!
By His Grace each day,
The End of the Year and "I can't find love because…"
…I've slept with too many people to know what love is" was what one student said when Ellen asked each of approximately 25 students to jot
down something we could pray for them for. Can you imagine being so broken and aware that you're willing to ask a complete
stranger to pray for this area of your life?! This student isn't alone… Read more in the newsletter below.
As we close out the End of the Year
We are so grateful to all of you for praying for our ministry and giving financially to us this year. We have had some challenges financially and yet God has provided again and again. We know he will provide again this year as long as he calls us to serve him here. At the end of this year, our needs are greater than in years past. For many of you this may also be the case. We are confident that God continues to call us to work for the Gospel to grow in and through college students. As we move into 2012 we are praying for $10,000 in additional funding to make up for shortfalls. If you have already taken a new financial step of faith with us recently, thank you. If not, and you haven't had a chance to do so yet:
Would you make a gift of $50, $200 or $500 to help us contine to reach college students for Christ?
To give online just click below the button below. All gifts made before December 31 at midnight are tax-deductible for the 2011 year.
Thank you again, and we wish you a very safe and Happy New Year!

Sergeant Joseph Santiago- PMHS class of '85- was awarded the Medal of Valor in October 2007 from the Sanford, Fla. police department for his heroic acts after a small plane crash in July of 2007 in Seminole County, Fla.
Patrol Sergeant Joseph Santiago was the first to arrive on the scene of the small plane crash in which two homes on the ground were hit by the plane and were completely engulfed in flames. Hearing from witnesses that there was a small child still trapped in one of the burning homes, Officer Santiago made an attempt to enter the home but was pushed back by heavy smoke and flames. After directing another police officer to evacuate the surrounding homes, Santiago and a fireman were alerted that there were also another adult and an infant trapped in the burning house. Santiago entered the home and was immediately hit with such intense heat that he felt the heat surge within his lungs. The fireman began to crawl toward the rear of the house. In a desperate attempt to help the trapped individuals, Santiago exited the home and ran to a back window to help those trapped. It was at this point that the home collapsed. The fireman who had previously entered the burning home had also become trapped and Officer Santiago called out to him several times. The firefighter had become disoriented and only survived due to Officer Santiago's continued calling which helped him follow his voice and as he approached Santiago near the rear window, Santiago pulled him to safety. Unfortunately it had already been too late for the individuals in the collapsed home. Due to these heroic acts and his continued presence on the accident scene for more than 15 hours, Officer Santiago was awarded the Medal of Valor by his superiors in the Sanford Police Department. In addition, Santiago has also received several Unit Citation Awards and the Police Chiefs Award for solving a cold case homicide involving twin 6 week old infants.
While a student at PMHS, Santiago played junior varsity football and says that one of his favorite educators was now retired Assistant Principal, Baron Degner. Santiago has worked hard since graduation from PMHS and has both an Associates Degree and a Bachelors Degree from St. Leo University in Criminal Justice. He has recently received his Masters Degree in Criminal Justice from the University of Central Florida with plans to study law at FAMU School of Law. He has worked with the Sanford Police Department since 1998 and is currently a Patrol Sergeant. He has also graduated from the University of Louisville, Southern Police Institute Command Officer Development Course through the Chief of Police Academy.
Joe lives with his wife of 20 years, Tina and two children, Marissa age 13 and Joey age 6. He coaches softball and inner city boxing and is a city volunteer on several community projects. The entire membership of PMCT sends their congratulations to Joseph Santiago on this heroic act and is also extremely proud of all his accomplishments since graduating from PMHS. The PMCT acknowledges Joe and all graduates of PMHS that have been active in community service and serving the public interest.

The operators have repeatedly emphasized that the rapid development of 5G will be possible only thanks to the support from public funds. Therefore, the Spanish government development agency has decided to allocate 20 million euros for 2 pilot projects related to 5G. This investment is co-financed by the European regional development program.
R&D works on next-generation mobile networks are not the cheapest. 5G networks will use new frequency bands that have not been used in mobile radiocommunication systems so far. In turn, operators are reluctant to take investments that have a long payback time. And it is piloting 5G that belongs to this type of investment. The new base stations are equipped with new generation antennas, which are much more expensive than the currently used equipment. To do this, you have to add the costs associated with training personnel, who must master all the time developing (and changing) technology. One can not also forget about measures that need to be devoted to the development of devices and systems that connect to 5G networks. This is a very important issue, because investing in 5G without parallel development of new services does not make sense.
20 million euros for piloting two 5G projects is not a large sum
It would seem that Spain is very wasteful in providing support for the development of 5G. However, 20 million euros is just a drop in the ocean of needs. The Polish Ministry of Digitalization estimates that the construction of 5G network in Poland will cost from 2.5 to 5 billion EUR. At the same time, this amount includes all four main operators. As a result, we have between 0.625 and 1,25 billion euro per operator. In turn, the American branch of T-Mobile has already signed contracts with Nokia and Ericsson for the supply of hardware and software needed to build 5G networks, which amount to a total of over 6 billion EUR. Therefore, a Spanish grant of 20 million euro is enough to finance only two projects. In practice, this will mean the possibility of running a 5G network on 2 campuses.
I suppose the 5G pilot networks will only start operating in Spain next year. Applications for their funding can be submitted by December 14. Selected projects will also receive access to the 3.4 – 3.8 GHz and 26 GHz bands. The applications will be favoured, the authors of which will decide to experiment with new technologies and present various applications of the 5G network.

A twinflame union is a connection between two beings that have a deep spiritual magnetism. Only some people encounter true twinflame manifestation in their lifetime, but there are many times in our lives where we may feel so infatuated that we are convinced a relationship is of twinflame nature.
A psychic reading to determine the reality and create understanding of your twinflame relationships can be beneficial at any point in our lives. It can help us to understand whether we are on the right path with our significant other, or guide us in a direction towards our true twinflame.

There are a few misconceptions floating around about what exactly a twinflame union is. For starters, twinflames are quite often confused with soulmates, and the two could not be more different. When people feel as though they have finally found a twinflame connection, it is felt as a deep connection with one another. With soulmates the connection is a strong one as well, and this adds to the confusion.
Is yours a twin flame relationship or a soulmate relationship? It can be extremely difficult to figure out the answer to this on your own, as you are caught in between your own strong emotions and the divine intervention of a twinflame relationship.
It is common for many people to consider psychic intervention if they think they might have found their twinflame. Twinflame relationships are an incredibly rare and beautiful finding, and should be nurtured and protected once they are found. Psychics can help you to identify a twinflame connection, or help you to manifest your twinflame into your life. They have the divine tools needed to know the difference between a true twinflame relationship and a mere soulmate connection.
It is very hard for those dealing with the conundrum of believing what they have is a twinflame relationship. In reality it may only be a soulmate relationship, so a psychic reading can really clear up the confusion when you have no one else to turn to for advice.
You can contact one of our gifted psychics, clairvoyants, mediums, or tarot card readers to gain in-depth insight and answers regarding your twinflame connection with someone who truly understands and is knowledgeable in this area. Zenory allows you to ask for guidance easily online via phone or chat, and your significant other does not even need to be present.
When you need guidance, answers, or a helping hand with your twinflame relationship, contact one of Zenory's professional psychic readers and rid yourself of all of the confusion with a twin flame psychic reading.

Why do they tell us to buy white-tipped catfish
in threes? Mine are territorial now and several
times I have had to pull one out and nurse it
back to health because it was beaten up in their
constant fighting. How bad is it to take a grown
fish back to the store? My tank is overcrowded,
and I need to get rid of a few.

Your letter illustrates a variety of common
problems, the first of which is the uncertainty of
common names. The fish usually referred to by the
name you use is Hexanematichthys seemanni, so
I'll assume this is your fish. This is one of those
very popular catfish that should generally not be
sold. If "they" tell you to buy at least three of them,
that is because the fish is a schooling fish, but it is
much better to maintain them in groups of at least
six to eight, since, as you've seen, aggression can
be a problem in smaller groups. These catfish are
not usually territorial in the sense of defending
a particular territory, but they constantly vie for
top position in the school, and in a larger group
this bickering rarely results in fish ganging up
on a single individual. The chief problem here,
however, is that rather than warning you about
the fish's schooling habit, your dealer should have
warned you that these are 14-inch fish that require
increasing salinity as they mature, preferably full
marine for adults. In fact, this species should only
be kept by specialists with very large—200-gallon
or more—brackish or marine setups. Unless you
have such a system you should definitely find a new
home for your specimens.
Trading in fish is a perfectly acceptable practice
encouraged by many responsible dealers, though you
should not expect the fish to have much monetary
value. After all, fish that have outgrown your tanks
are probably too large for most hobbyists' setups
and therefore have little demand.
I read the article in the September 2007 issue on
the mimic octopus. I believe there may be some
confusion in the hobby and in general concerning
the names for this animal. My understanding is
that the common name "mimic octopus" refers to
another species of octopus that has a more white
and black banding pattern, and that that octopus
is Thaumoctopus mimicus. The animal pictured
in the article is commonly called "wunderpus"
and really does not do much in the way of mimic
behavior as opposed to the other species.

Thanks for your email. While common names
mean little or nothing and are only sure to get
more confused over time, we want to correctly
identify the animals we feature in TFH. Following
the citations you sent, we see that the one we
pictured certainly appears to be Wunderpus
photogenicus HOCHBERG, NORMAN, AND FINN 2006
and not Thaumoctopus mimicus NORMAN AND
HOCHBERG 2005 as stated in the article. It is clear
that the octopuses coming into the trade are being
assigned common names—and probably presumed
scientific names as well—without much care
as to the correct identification of the animals
in question. Scientific names should never be
deduced from common names, so anyone dealing
with these cephalopods should verify their identity
independently of the name they were sold under. In
any case, thanks for setting us straight!
EMAIL By far the best way to communicate with us at TFH is by email. To ensure that we receive your message, avoid
the use of account names and subject lines that are likely to trigger junk filters. Probably the best subject is "Q&A." Due
to the volume of mail, we are unable to respond personally to all, but every message is read.
If you are writing for some purpose other than submitting a question (submitting an article, for example), feel free to tap
on the glass and send another message if you do not hear back in a reasonable amount of time. Attachments that are not
accompanied by an explanatory message or query are deleted unopened.

Ever since I heard about face contouring, I've been crushing on all kinds of highlighters. My sister has the bodyshop one and I know a few other people who rave about it, but I've just never got round to buying one. Well.. in boots the other day when I bought a new mascara I got a £3 off No.7 voucher and decided to browse. I found their chubby little stick and loved the shimmery mixture. If you aren't sure, you are supposed to use highlighter to lighten areas, which I'm thinking is necessary when you have the bags under your eyes that I do recently!
Michael was with me when I bought it and I explained to him what it was for, but while we were at a craft fair he said 'Stacey, stay still', so I curiously obeyed while he moved around me. He said, 'you've got glitter on your face'. Now, seen as we were at a craft fair I thought this was possible and I said, 'oh, where?' and he motioned around my eyes. I chuckled and said it was okay, that's what the highlighter looks like - and is supposed to look like more importantly!
So that's a real life review - it definitely adds shimmer. I like this product. I rub it straight on my face (under the eyes and around to under the eyebrows) as it's difficult to get on the brush, then blend it with the brush, then finish with my fingers because else it's too thick. I don't think that's a complaint; I get to use very little product for the effect that I like. It lightens in the way I want it to and hides my bags. Yes they're still visible up close - it's not a magic stick! But it does very well in my opinion.
Have you used this highlighter? What do you like to use?

Now a piece of popular singer will be able to get each of his fans!
Lazarev one, but his number of fans growing every day! About them this time and thought the organizers of the competition. The girls did not grieve, they decided to give "Lazarus" each.
Now the artist can be bought in the form of the famous designer Lego. Project Eurovision Song Contest – With Toys not only tried to "blind" man, as similar to Sergey, but also reproduce the decorations of his rooms at the song contest.
However, these decorations have become very famous. Recently during a regular rehearsal, the singer stumbled and fell almost a meter in height. Only luck helped the artist not to ring the hospital bed, and continue the rehearsal.
We will remind, room Lazarev for the song "You are the only one" ("You're the only one") is built on the visual effects.
Ah-the effect during the show is guaranteed. The music will begin to sound in complete darkness, and only the growth rate on the wall of the scene will appear the screen with the projections, which then turns into a climbing wall.
Now Lazarev actively practicing, so as not to collapse with its own decorations. He, we recall, is located in Stockholm since may 1. And the results of the training, which lasted several months, we will see very soon. May 10 kicks off the first day of the contest, and the 14th will be declared the winner.

When a person sets up an IRA account, he or she will be able to choose succeeding beneficiaries. These designated beneficiaries will be the ones who can claim whatever is left in the IRA account when the account holder passes away.
An inherited IRA is a great way for a spouse to leave his or her assets to the other spouse, to their children or other family members. When receiving the IRA, however, the beneficiaries need to know their options.
Spouse Beneficiaries
Spouse beneficiaries have the most flexible options when it comes to receiving and distributing an inherited IRA.
Their first option is to withdraw the entire amount left in the IRA, which is often not recommended because of the expensive income tax. They can also opt to spread the distribution over their lifetime in order to lower the immediate tax bills.
As a spouse, however, the beneficiary also has another option of treating the IRA as their own. This means, they can leave the money to grow, without taking any distribution, until they reach the age of 70 ½. The spouse can also roll over the inherited IRA into a retirement account of their own. With this option, however, if they make any withdrawal before their retirement age, an early withdrawal fine will apply.
Non-Spouse Beneficiaries
Beneficiaries that are not the spouse of the deceased person do not have the option of treating the inherited IRA as their own.
They can either withdraw the entire amount within 5 years, or spread it out over their lifetime.
Even when the beneficiary chooses to spread the distributions over their life time, he or she is still required to make a minimum distribution every year by December 31st of that year. The exact minimum amount is calculated based on the beneficiary's life expectancy. You can calculate the exact required distribution using this calculator. Income taxes will still apply on this minimum distribution. However, there is no early withdrawal penalty, even if the beneficiary is less than 59 ½ years of age.
By spreading out the distributions, the beneficiaries of inherited IRAs will be able to spread out the tax payments, and allow the IRA to continue to grow on a tax-deferred or tax-free basis.
Inherited IRA: Self-directed Option
Spouse and non-spouse beneficiaries both have the option of transferring money into a self-directed Inherited IRA.
For non-spouse beneficiaries, the Required Minimum Distribution still applies. However, they can keep the rest of the money invested within the Inherited IRA on a tax-free or tax-deferred basis.
Spouse beneficiaries may want to transfer the money into an Inherited IRA instead of their personal IRA, so that they can start withdrawing the money before the age of 59 ½ without subjecting to the 10% early withdraw penalty.
For either group, having a self-directed Inherited IRA opens up other investment possibilities. Just like any other Checkbook IRA, a self-directed Inherited IRA is allowed to invest in more than stocks and mutual funds. The beneficiaries can act without getting approval from the custodians. Their investment options now include real estate, private businesses, precious metals, and much more.
