"Belle" is a song written by lyricist Howard Ashman and composer Alan Menken for Walt Disney Pictures' 30th animated feature film Beauty and the Beast. Originally recorded by actress Paige O'Hara and actor Richard White, "Belle" is a French and classical-inspired song that incorporates musical elements from both the Broadway and musical theater genres.
The film's first song, "Belle" is a large-scale operetta-style musical number that introduces the film's book-loving heroine Belle, a non-conforming young woman who has grown weary of the provincial village life that she is being forced to live, and Gaston who desires her hand in marriage. The reprise mentions how she not only wants to give up her village life but also not accept Gaston's hand in marriage.
Belle: Little town, it's a quiet village
Every day like the one before
Little town, full of little people
Waking up to say
Man 1: Bonjour!
Man 2: Bonjour!
Woman 1: Bonjour!
Man 3: Bonjour!
Man 4: Bonjour!
Belle: There goes the baker with his tray, like always
The same old bread and rolls to sell
Every morning just the same
Since the morning that we came
To this poor provincial town
Baker: Good morning, Belle!
Belle: Good morning, Monsieur.
Baker: Where are you off to?
Belle: The bookshop! I just finished the most wonderful story, about a beanstalk and an ogre and-
Baker: That's nice. Marie! The baguettes! Hurry up!
Townsfolk: Look there she goes, that girl is strange, no question
Dazed and distracted, can't you tell?
Woman: Never part of any crowd
Barber: Cause her head's up on some cloud
Townsfolk: No denying she's a funny girl that Belle
Man 1: Bonjour!
Woman 1: Good day!
Man 1: How is your fam'ly?
Woman 2: Bonjour!
Man 2: Good day!
Woman 2: How is your wife?
Woman 3: I need six eggs!
Man 3: That's too expensive!
Belle: There must be more than this provincial life!
Bookseller: Ah, Belle.
Belle: Good morning. I've come to return the book I borrowed.
Bookseller: Finished already?
Belle: Oh, I couldn't put it down. Have you got anything new?
Bookseller: Not since yesterday.
Belle: That's all right.
I'll borrow...this one!
Bookseller: That one? But you've read it twice!
Belle: Well, it's my favorite!
Far off places, daring swordfights, magic spells, a prince in disguise!
Bookseller: If you like it all that much, it's yours!
Belle: But sir!
Bookseller: I insist.
Belle: Well, thank you.
Thank you very much!
Townsfolk: Look there she goes, that girl is so peculiar
I wonder if she's feeling well
With a dreamy, far-off look
And her nose stuck in a book
What a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle
Belle: Oh, isn't this amazing?
It's my favorite part because you'll see
Here's where she meets Prince Charming
But she won't discover that it's him 'til chapter three!
Woman: Now it's no wonder that her name means "beauty"
Her looks have got no parallel
Shopkeeper: But behind that fair façade
I'm afraid she's rather odd
Very diff'rent from the rest of us
Townsfolk: She's nothing like the rest of us
Yes, diff'rent from the rest of us is Belle!
LeFou: Wow! You didn't miss a shot, Gaston! You're the greatest hunter in the whole world!
Gaston: I know!
LeFou: Huh. No beast alive stands a chance against you...and no girl for that matter!
Gaston: It's true, Lefou, and I've got my sights set on that one!
LeFou: The inventor's daughter?
Gaston: She's the one! The lucky girl I'm going to marry.
LeFou: But she's-
Gaston: The most beautiful girl in town.
LeFou: I know but-
Gaston: And that makes her the best. And don't I deserve the best?
LeFou: Well of course, I mean you do, but I mean...
Gaston: Right from the moment when I met her, saw her
I said she's gorgeous and I fell
Here in town there's only she
Who is as beautiful as me
So I'm making plans to woo and marry Belle
Bimbettes: Look there he goes
Isn't he dreamy?
Monsieur Gaston
Oh he's so cute!
Be still my heart
I'm hardly breathing
He's such a tall, dark, strong and handsome brute!
Man 1: Bonjour!
Gaston: Pardon!
Man 2: Good day!
Man 3: Mais oui!
Woman 1: You call this bacon?
Woman 2: What lovely grapes!
Man 4: Some cheese
Woman 3: Ten yards!
Man 4: one pound.
Gaston: 'Scuse me!
Cheese merchant: I'll get the knife.
Gaston: Please let me through!
Woman 4: This bread-
Man 5: Those fish-
Woman 4: it's stale!
Man 5: they smell!
Baker: Madame's mistaken.
Townsfolk: Well, maybe so!
Belle: There must be more than this provincial life! (Townsfolk: Good morning!)
Gaston: Just watch, I'm going to make Belle my wife! (Townsfolk: Oh, good morning!)
Townsfolk: Look there she goes
The girl is strange, but special
A most peculiar mad'moiselle!
It's a pity and a sin
She doesn't quite fit in
'Cause she really is a funny girl
A beauty but a funny girl
She really is a funny girl
That Belle!
Man 1: Bonjour!
Woman 1: Bonjour!
Man 2: Bonjour!
Woman 2: Bonjour!
Man 3: Bonjour!
Man 4: Bonjour!
Belle: Is he gone?
Can you imagine? He asked me to marry him!
Me! The wife of that boorish, brainless...
Madame Gaston!
Can't you just see it?
Madame Gaston!
His little wife
No, sir!
Not me!
I guarantee it
I want much more than this provincial life!
I want adventure in the great wide somewhere
I want it more than I can tell
And for once it might be grand
To have someone understand
I want so much more than they've got planned
- "Belle" was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 64th Academy Awards in 1992, ultimately losing to the film's own title song.
- When Belle is talking about her favorite book, there is foreshadowing to later parts of the movie, such as "daring swordfights" (like the battle between Gaston and the Beast, although ironically, blades weren't actually used during the battle until just prior to Gaston's death when he stabbed the Beast in the back), "magic spells" (in the castle and on its inhabitants), "far off places" (as the castle seems far away from the town, although the actual distance is ambiguous), and a "prince in disguise" (the Beast). When the librarian tells her "if you like it all that much, it's yours", he is not only telling her to have the book, but also foreshadowing that she would go on to live the tale itself.
- In addition, the book that Belle was reading (which the sheep briefly bites a page off) is implied from her description to be Sleeping Beauty, which was later confirmed in the New Fantasyland attraction version of Belle's Cottage, which shows both the original book Belle's mom read to her as a child (explaining why it was her favorite) and the book that she acquired from the bookkeeper.
- In the first speaking portion of the song, when conversing with the Baker, her description of the book implied that the book she had finished and returned was Jack and the Beanstalk. Although Jack and the Beanstalk's earliest known publishing date was in 1807, which at first glance would conflict with the setting of the film being late 18th Century France, the story itself preceded that date significantly, with a similar story, The Story of Jack Spriggins and the Enchanted Bean, being included in the 1734 second edition of Round About Our Coal-Fire.
- There is a brief moment of fourth-wall breaking in the ending of the song. Shortly after the final verses of the song (where the crowd is tailing her and singing about how she's odd while exchanging "bonjours"), Belle briefly snaps back a look, and the townspeople proceed to resume to their duties as if nothing happened.
- Similar to "Under the Sea" in the Official Comic Adaptation for The Little Mermaid, the song was incorporated into dialogue in the Official Comic Adaptation for the film.
- In addition, in the fifth issue of the Beauty and the Beast comic serial published by Marvel Comics, her flashback to the village referenced the events of the opening song, or rather, the scene immediately after it.
- The woman who sings "Bonjour! // How is Your Wife?" originally was supposed to be a mother with her child tagging along, as well as wearing a far more conservative outfit.[1]
- During the village chatter scene near the end of the song, there are some anachronisms and errors in the statements: Specifically, a woman and a man requested for 10 yards and a pound of something, respectively. In the setting the film took place in, late 18th century France (implied to be the prelude to the French Revolution by Glen Keane), the actual measurements used during this time were hands and feet, with the Metric system only being established during the events of the French Revolution. In addition, the measurement terms of "yard" and "pound" belonged to the US Customary measurement system, something that isn't used in France even in the present day, let alone during the setting of the film.
- In the animated film, after the three bimbettes sing their lines, they faint. In the live-action film, a horse kicks mud up at them and LeFou tells them "It's never gonna happen, ladies."
- Archive footage of this song sequence from the original 1991 animated film would later be re-used for the opening sequence of the 1995-1996 children's TV series Sing Me a Story with Belle, albeit heavily re-dubbed with the show's theme song, the animated Belle is replaced by the live-action Belle portrayed by Lynsey McLeod, and only the parts of the original film where Belle walks to the bookshop were used.

Hey so I just got a new RX 580 and I noticed that getting Displayport to work is hell. My monitor just shows "No signal". I have only gotten it to work once by doing a mix of unplugging monitor from power and display port, discharging it, plugging again (found somewhere on Reddit) but now these steps don't at all. This leaves me stuck with HDMI (no Freesync). The displayport worked perfectly on my 1050ti I had previously.
Specs of parts I feel are relevant to this:
GPU: Sapphire Nitro+ RX580 4GB
Monitor: LG 29UM68-P (has Freesync)

I was talking with someone about how I try to be fairly strict about not eating not-so-good food and snacks. My body just does not react well to them. This means staying away from refined grains or starches or sugars or, really, most anything very processed. Also, just about no animal proteins (I'm allergic, for a start).
I said I have to be very strict because I don't feel I have much willpower. My friend protested, saying that I show a lot of willpower by staying away from the foods. I explained further that when I stay away from them, I'm not tempted to over-indulge in foods I oughtn't be having at all. It would be fine if I could have just a little bit here or there, and sometimes I do. Then, it's not too long before I start to have a little more, and a little more, until I'm making it a bit of a habit.
The fortunate thing is, it doesn't take long before my health begins to suffer from my over-indulgence. I then notice that I've been feeling a bit worse, do a mental inventory of what I've been putting into my system, and get right back on the wagon.

|Hebridean Celtic Festival Set To Swing To Shinty Sound Once Again.
|11 July 2011
The traditional HebCelt Festival Inter-Island shinty match between fierce rivals Camanachd Leòdhais and Uist Camanachd takes place at Bayhead Park, Stornoway on Saturday 16 July 2011.
This match has provided Festival goers with thrilling entertainment over the years and the 2011 fixture clash of the ash between the sides promises to be the most exciting yet.
Both teams now compete in mainland competition. Lewis have made the historic leap to full-time participation in Marine Harvest North Division 3 this season whilst Uist compete in the Camanachd Association Development League.
However, the "HebCelt" is the one trophy that both sides want to win the most. The Leòdhasaich re-claimed the trophy in 2010 but the Uibhistich will be hoping that they can take bragging rights to the Southern Isles again after two years.
Shinty is the fastest growing sport in the Western Isles and was the traditional sport of the islands before it was usurped by football in the early 20th century. Its resurgence has been down to hard work and dedication by players and volunteers and the opportunity to play in front of a large crowd is a major boost for all involved.
Reflecting the fact that any rivalry is left on the pitch, both teams will then attend the evening's festivities in the Big Blue Tent together, where KT Tunstall is headlining.
Speaking of the sporting battle, Caroline MacLennan, Festival Director, said: "The partnership of shinty and the Hebridean Celtic Festival is a unique and exciting one, reinvigorating old traditions in a new and vital way."
"Shinty always provides festival-goers with an intense sporting spectacle as part of the Festival Fringe and the Festival provides a magnificent opportunity for the exposure of this excellent sport in the Outer Hebrides. We've had people from Lewis, England, Australia and the USA all taking in the game and they always comment on how fast and brave the players are."
Competition organiser Eòghan Stewart is looking forward to a bumper crowd this year and he is praying for good weather. "The last few years have seen the fixture go from strength to strength and although the crowds have been big, it always seems to rain just about that time people are thinking about coming out to watch."
"A hot, sunny day and I'd expect a few hundred at least, but rain, hail or shine, they are guaranteed 90 minutes of excitement and entertainment. I'd like to thank the Festival for this opportunity to showcase the sport every year and if you haven't ever seen shinty before, then why not come along and cheer on both sides."
In a change to the Festival programme, the game throws-up at 1.30pm, half an hour earlier than advertised. Donations can be made at the gate.

Damian Hinds has unveiled his plans for the future of the youth of the North East, including a £12m investment into improving schools in the area
The education secretary, Damian Hinds, is pouring £24m into tackling the major issues faced by young people in the North East when it comes to education and future employment.
While the North East has some of the best-performing primary schools in the country, secondary school performance is significantly below other regions, and fewer 18-year-olds attend the country's top universities than those from any other part of the country. The North East also has one of the highest proportions of young people not in education, employment or training after year 11.
The scheme, entitled Opportunity North East, will aim to tackle these issues by:
- Investing £12m in targeted approaches to improve the transition from primary to secondary school, drive up standards – particularly at secondary level – and improve outcomes for pupils post-16;
- Working with secondary schools and colleges to encourage young people to consider university, degree apprenticeships and other high quality technical education options;
- Partnering with local businesses to improve job prospects for young people across the region; and
- Investing a further £12m to boost early career training for new teachers and help improve the quality of teaching and raise standards in the region's schools, ahead of roll-out in other regions.
Addressing a roundtable event at Cardinal Hume Secondary School in Gateshead, Hinds said:
"Talent and potential are evenly spread, but opportunities sometimes aren't. With Opportunity North East I am going to work with schools, colleges, businesses and universities – including those beyond the area – to redress the balance.
"There are today too many education measures on which the North East is listed ninth in the list of nine English regions. It doesn't have to be like that. In fact the North East has a lot of really outstanding education – especially so at primary level. The job now is to spread that through more of the secondary level and beyond.
"It's absolutely right that we challenge ourselves to do things like increasing access to university for young people from black and minority ethnic communities but we must remember that disadvantage is not limited to a single group.
"White British disadvantaged boys are the least likely of any large ethnic group to go to university. We need to ask ourselves why that is and challenge government, universities and the wider system to change that.
"It's vital that we do this to make sure that no part of our country feels as though it has been left behind, and that every community feels like this is a country that works for everyone."
This announcement is part of a government drive to improve education and boost productivity in the North of England, and follows on from investment in the Northern Powerhouse strategy.

Crawfish Removes Own Claw To Escape Boiling Water (Video)
June 5, 2018
This dramatic video comes all the way from China. Social media user Jiuke was at a restaurant about to enjoy a big bowl of soup when he noticed one of the crawfish trying to make a desperate escape.
Jiuke recorded the crawfish as it tries to escape the boiling pot of water, and proceeds to remove its own claw to do so. The crustacean can be seen gripping and pulling at its claw before finally yanking it out and attempting to scurry away.
Many people left comments under the video asking Jiuke not to eat him, writing him to "let him go," and "don't eat him, seeing how hard he's trying to survive." Jiuke confirmed that he did not eat the crawfish, and is currently raising him inside his home in an aquarium.

It's a question I find I ask myself pretty much every year. But this year it seems even more so that the governing body are trying to kill the sport.
First off, Jarno Trulli was stripped of his podium after supposedly overtaking Lewis Hamilton under the safety car. This promoted Hamilton to 3rd in the race.
However, the stewards have now decided that was also wrong and Lewis should therefore be disqualified. Apparently McLaren misled the race stewards by saying that Trulli overtook them when it was actually Hamilton that did it first. Eh?
Basically it seems that McLaren were in the wrong with their radio communications. But if this is so, could it not have been found out earlier, before they threw Jarno Trulli out? In fact, could we not just use the rather original idea of whoever crosses the line first wins, whoever's second is second and so forth!
Alright, I know that due to possible rule-breaks it's not always that easy, but I am now more than fed up with finding out the race result a week later. It kind of makes the whole grand prix seem a bit…pointless. In no other sport does the result get changed so often after the event has finished.
I am disappointed as I feel all this controversy has marred what was a great opening weekend. We'll just have to hope this is the last of this silly politics of F1, but with the diffuser issue coming in a few weeks i fear not.

A principlist politician said none of the three principlist hopefuls running for president should stand aside to shore up support for others, as he believes the six-man vote scheduled for Friday will most likely head for a second round.
"With a two-round vote on the horizon, not only Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf and Ebrahim Raeisi ought to remain in the race, but Mostafa Mirsalim should also stay," Mohsen Kouhkan also told ICANA on Sunday.
Raeisi is a longtime judge who is currently the custodian of the holy shrine of Imam Reza (PBUH); Qalibaf is the former police chief and incumbent Tehran mayor and Mirsalim formerly served as culture minister. Mirsalim and two pro-government candidates, Vice President Es'haq Jahangiri and former industries minister, Mostafa Hashemitaba, are relatively low profile hopefuls.
But Raeisi and Qalibaf are leading challengers to the reelection bid of incumbent Hassan Rouhani who is favored to win the presidential marathon.
Kouhkan said current opinion polls indicate none of the hopefuls in the race is likely to garner an absolute majority of votes, but the principlist camp would do well to keep as many contenders in the race to minimize the chances of an unexpected win by Rouhani in the first round.
"It also helps boost voter turnout, which the Leader of Islamic Revolution has repeatedly called for," he said. Under the two-round voting system, a candidate must earn more than 50% of the votes to win in the first round. If not, the two candidates with the highest votes move on to a runoff.
Raeisi and Qalibaf are affiliated with the Popular Front of Islamic Revolution Forces, a principlist body formed last December to plan a unified electoral strategy.
PFIRF has announced that either Raeisi or Qalibaf may stand aside in favor of the other on the election eve, unless it believes that it would be a two-round election.
Both candidates have campaigned on a platform of boosting job creation and cash subsidy payments for the needy, faulting Rouhani's administration for failing to promote the economy during his four years in office.
The campaign season started on April 21 and will last until 24 hours before the May 19 presidential election.
The hopefuls held their last televised debate last Friday, the most heated of the three that frequently saw Rouhani and Qalibaf trading barbs.

|Donald Trump criticized an African-American majority district: "It's a disgusting disaster, infested with rats and rodents"
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, was again accused of racism on Saturday after attacking a prominent African-American lawmaker and calling the city of Baltimore, mostly black, a "disgusting disaster." This Sunday, the president reaffirmed his comments and said that they are data and not opinions, so he ruled out that it is discrimination.
Trump's sayings came in a series of tweets addressed to Democratic representative Elijah Cummings, a strong critic of the Republican government whose district covers much of Baltimore.
"The Cumming District (sic) is a disgusting disaster, infested with rats and rodents," the president wrote, calling it the "worst and most dangerous" in the country.
"No human being would want to live there," he said, in an attack apparently caused by Cummings' criticism of the harsh conditions faced by asylum seekers on the Mexican border.
"Cummings has been a brutal thug, yelling at the great Border Patrol men and women about the conditions at the southern border, when in fact their Baltimore district is MUCH WORSE and more dangerous," Trump said.
The president's morning rant sparked a storm of criticism, less than two weeks after the House of Representatives condemned him for "racist" comments addressed to a lawmaker born in Somalia and three other congressmen of color.
Nancy Pelosi, Democratic president of the House of Representatives whose father was mayor of Baltimore, accused Trump of committing a racist attack. "@RepCummings is a champion in Congress and in the country for civil rights and economic justice, a beloved leader in Baltimore and a much appreciated colleague," Pelosi tweeted. "We reject racist attacks against him and support his strong leadership."
Trump has placed racial animosity at the center of his reelection campaign, convinced that this rhetoric will strengthen the support of white workers and attract voters who fear cultural changes in the country.
In a direct response to Trump, Cummings tweeted: "Mr. President, I return home in my district daily. Every morning I wake up and go to fight for my neighbors. My constitutional duty is to exercise oversight of the Executive Branch. My duty moral is to fight for the people of my district. "
Former Vice President Joe Biden, the Democrat most likely to challenge Trump in 2020, responded directly to the president on Twitter. "It is despicable that you attack him and the people of Baltimore in this way," Biden wrote. "Once again, you have proved incapable of holding office. A president is supposed to lift this nation. Don't throw it down."
There was a similar conviction by half a dozen White House candidates, including Senator Cory Booker, who tweeted a video that shows how a CNN presenter, black and originally from Baltimore, breaks in the air before the attack on his hometown. "This is painful. This is a defining and moral moment in the United States," Booker wrote. "Silence is a toxic complicity."
Baltimore Mayor Bernard "Jack" Young, who is a Democrat and African-American, rejected Trump's rhetoric as "hurtful and dangerous." "It is completely unacceptable that our country's political leader denigrates a vibrant American city like Baltimore and brutally attacks" Cummings, he wrote in a statement.
|Donald Trump criticized an African-American majority district: "It's a disgusting disaster, infested with rats and rodents"
Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, also African-American, tweeted that she was "proud" of having her campaign headquarters in the Cummings district.
This Sunday, the president reiterated his criticisms and said that they are concrete data. "Democrats always play the Racial Charter when, in fact, they have done so little for the great African-American people of our country," he said on his Twitter.
The port city of Baltimore presents a dual image, with beautiful and rich neighborhoods and large districts affected by poverty. It has one of the highest homicide rates in the country. More than half of the population of the Cummings district is black.
As head of the Oversight Committee of the House of Representatives, the legislator initiated investigations into government policies, including reports of ill-treatment in migrant detention centers.
Trump recently attacked four young Democratic lawmakers descendants of immigrants, whom he suggested "returning" to the "crime-infested" countries from which they came.

A Topsy-Turvy World
Congratulations! You successfully live in a world that asks a lot of you – sometimes too much of you, so it seems. It takes daring to live on Earth. Sometimes, you may feel that Life in the World appears to take all it can away from you. Sometimes, in the world, you may feel you hang by your toes. It's not always easy to see right-side up in a topsy-turvy world.
Inasmuch as the world you become acquainted with is temporary, you sit atop a rocky world. This world you find yourself in is an ever-changing world, which means that the world, as you yourself know it, isn't nailed down. You are in flux every day.
Wherein lies the stability you long for? You, the Real You, the Truth of Who You Are, is Eternal. This means you are permanent. You are as Essence of Life. In this sense, We can call you A Rock of Gibraltar. In Truth, you are unshakable.
In Truth, in the middle of a tornado, you -- the Very You I address -- are invincible. Remember, Life on Earth is a game you enter. You have entered it. However the game is played, you come out unscathed. We could say the game is rigged. You can only come out with flying colors. You can only come out alive. You can only come out alive. You can only come out alive. There is no death. You are sustained. You are renewable. You exist, not as matter, but as Essence of Life. You don't have to stroll in a dimensioned world in order to exist.
Absence from overt Life on Earth means you return solidly to the full recognition of your Higher Self, to the clear Life of Soul that is Who You Are and never ever were not.
Infinity you can count on. Infinity is fluid. Infinity is not flesh and bone. Infinity can never be rocky. Infinity may seem ethereal to you. Nevertheless, Infinity is the solid ground you walk on. Infinity is the only truly solid ground. You and I, We abide in Infinity. Oneness is Infinite.
Love is independent upon what you look like. What does it matter whether a camera can take film shots of you or not? You are not the shape of your ears. You are not the hair on your head. Your Soul is impermeable. The physical cannot touch your Soul. No matter how far away from the senses your Soul may seem to be, your Soul supersedes the physical hands-down. Soul is powerful, the most powerful of all. You, indeed, are Soul. Subtle goes beyond the physical. Subtle, I name you powerful. Subtle Soul beats all.
Photos can be taken of evidence of love, yet when have you seen a picture of Me? Not to knock the physical, yet the physical, undoubtedly of the utmost significance to you on Earth – the physical of you is the least of what is referred to as you. The physical is a way to touch. All the senses rally. The physical exists. It exists only for a while.
Yet, ah, how attached to the physical My children are. It isn't by dint of Will that you become unattached.
The higher you go, the bigger the view you see before you. If Truth were known, My beloveds, you would know you are a Knower. You would see that you are a Seer. You are a Seer who knows not what he sees. I dub you Greatness Itself. I have swept you up, and never have I put you down. You are with Me. When you know Our Connection, when Oneness alone is, what more is there you have to know?

Next-gen business bank Holvi has been acquired by Spain's BBVA
Spanish banking group BBVA has acquired much lauded European business banking startup Holvi, both companies have announced today.
Holvi, which pitches itself as a next-gen bank for entrepreneurs, freelancers and small businesses, will continue to operate separately but BBVA says that there will be a "two-way flow of knowledge" between the two companies. Terms of the deal have not been disclosed.
Finland-based Holvi launched in 2011 and had raised a modest $1.7 million to date. This is the latest such deal for BBVA, which has invested in UK mobile-only bank Atom and acquired a similar US startup, Simple in $177 million in 2014.

What a friggin relief:
"Microsoft is making a large investment in unifying our developer platform protocols for services on the open, standards-based Atom format (RFC 4287) and the Atom Publishing Protocol (RFC 5023)."
Finally I can try to stop worrying about which of the jillion "feed types" I should select to make sure that the feed subscriptions I've amassed are as "future-proof" as possible. Good gravy, the number of times I've gone to subscribe to a certain feed, only to be faced with the choice among 2-6 different feeds (all apparently for the same set of articles) is just paralyzing:
- Do I want the one with RSS in the final suffix?
- Should I try to figure out which protocol is most popular/widest supported?
- Do I need to try to figure out which one provides the most metadata with each downloaded article?
- And which one might be sending the least data back to the author? [This is ParanoidMike after all… wouldn't want to disappoint my fans with a rare moment of rational thinking now]
I don't normally like any one behemoth [aside: wasn't that one of Godzilla's opponent?] dictating to me a single format for anything, and I'm especially wary of any such edicts from Microsoft (having been privy to watching the sausage get made there for six years), but any time they make such an unequivocal commitment to an RFC standard and away from their "not built here" crap, I'm all in favour.

KEVIN Gill was overcome with emotion after confirming his resignation as Crossflatts Village manager due to work commitments.
Gill - who is undoubtedly the most successful manager in the club's proud history - leaves the club in safe hands after lifting five trophies in the last two seasons.
He said: "It's been one of the hardest decisions I have ever made but I think it's the right one.
"I am going to be away for most of next season so it's only fair that I step down.
"I absolutely love this football club and I will miss it badly."
Gill took over the management reins from Stephen George before the start of the 2016-2017 campaign and he had a successful first season in charge, with Village finishing second in the Wharfedale Triangle Premiership, before losing to Bradford Phoenix in the Keighley FA Sunday Cup final 7-2.
The defeat to Bradford Phoenix proved to be the catalyst for the club's glorious run as Gill made his best-ever signing in Les Cooper.
Gill added: "I realised during the Keighley FA Sunday Cup hiding against Bradford Phoenix that I needed some help running the side, so I got Les Cooper in that summer as my joint-manager and he's played a massive part in the last two seasons, and he's helped us get established as one of the best Sunday sides in the local area."
Cooper's arrival, the club's switch to the Bradford Sunday Alliance League back in 2017, and several astute new signings helped the club to the most successful season in their history.
Last season they won the Bradford Sunday Alliance Championship on goal difference, after overcoming a massive goal-difference swing in the run-in, including a 17-1 win away at Toller in the penultimate game of the league season.
The club also won the Keighley FA Sunday Cup and Bradford Sunday Alliance Senior Cups to secure the treble.
Promotion to the Premiership followed and they won that title at the first attempt last season, retained the Keighley FA Sunday Cup, and then missed out on back-to-back trebles when they lost to Oakenshaw AFC 1-0 in the Bradford Sunday Alliance Senior Cup final.
Gill joined the club in a permanent basis back in 2013 after leaving the Army and he quickly became a fans' favourite with his all-action no nonsense playing style. He started out as a box-to-box midfielder but dropped back into centre-back a few seasons later.
Village Secretary Paul Dean said: "When he took over as manager, he had a vision that the club would play good football and that the players would always give their all for the fans.
"He wanted to create an atmosphere where players could express themselves and play to the best of their abilities - and that has what he has achieved.
"In each of his three seasons in charge, he has managed to be successful and improve each year without affecting team morale, - which is testament to his man management skills.
"Gill leaves a legacy behind him and the club is now in a great position both on and off the pitch.
"He was a fearless player and an excellent leader of men. He led by example both on and off the pitch, and even more so in the bar afterwards. Kev is a one-off and he will be sorely missed."
Cooper also announced that he is stepping down from his role, so that he can enjoy retirement.
The club have just confirmed current players Oliver Metcalfe and Joe Lunn will be taking over from Gill and Cooper as joint-managers with immediate effect.
Both Metcalfe and Lunn are experienced and loyal Village players and they will look to build on the excellent work done by Gill and Cooper.
With pre-season training beginning later this month, the new management team will be looking to add a couple of quality signings to their squad to add their mark to an already impressive group of players.
The new management duo will be looking to retain the Bradford Sunday Alliance Premiership title and make further progress in the FA Sunday and West Riding County FA Sunday Cups next season.

He fully vetted me during a 1 hour phone call and quickly found what we were looking for while we were still in Colorado. Because of this experience when it was time to sell we used Abraham again. Just like the 1st time he handled everything with the up most professionalism and in less than a week we had an above price all cash offer. He even went as far as to handle lining up a company to clean the condo so it would show the best. I would highly recommend Abraham and his brother Donny for any real estate needs you may have.— Lee Kunter

Title: My Very Italian Holiday
Author:Sue Roberts
Publisher: Bookouture
Publication Date: August 1, 2018
Page Count: 262
My rating: 3 stars
About the book:
A beautiful guesthouse, a fresh start and a hunky Italian. Does it sound too good to be true?
When Gina arrives in Lake Como, thousands of miles away from her life in the Lake District, she wonders if she's bitten off more than she can chew. Working for Fabio, running his lakeside hotel, seemed like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After her world was tragically turned upside down, breaking her heart in the process, she was in desperate need of a fresh start. Plus, it didn't hurt that Fabio was easy on the eyes…
But it's not all picturesque mountains, pizza and prosecco. The crumbling guesthouse that Fabio has inherited from his family needs some serious TLC. Is she up to the challenge?
As Gina and Fabio work in close quarters, sparks start to fly. But Fabio has a secret he is scared to share, and Gina has her past to come to terms with. Does her heart belong back home or is a life in the sun – with a very handsome Italian – just the change of scenery she needs?
Escape to the gorgeous mountains and glittering Lake Como in Northern Italy! This laugh-out-loud funny and feel-good story of starting over and living life to the max is perfect for fans of Kat French, Jenny Oliver and Carole Matthews.
My Very Italian Holiday by Sue Roberts is a contemporary romance that does have a touch of comedy to it although I wouldn't completely label it a rom/com. This title too is another that seems the book blurb doesn't really match the advance reading copy that I read as the story doesn't get near Italy at all until well past halfway.
The book actually begins with Gina running her own bed and breakfast in England that still sounded like a lovely area to be but it certainly wasn't Italy yet. Gina had lost her husband a couple of years before and with the help of her sister she had managed to keep her B&B running and quite the success.
As the book goes on Gina does eventually meet Fabio and of course everyone is pushing Gina that it's time she think about romance again. Gina and Fabio do hit it off and Fabio is in the middle of making plans for his own hotel and asks Gina for advice and if she's willing to help. After that long beginning eventually the story makes it to Italy.
Now, I know my rating is a little low on this one but there were a couple of specific reasons why. The story got off to a wonderful start with a nice setting despite it not being Italy quite yet but while I did find myself laughing quite often a few of the jokes that came to me were just kind of mean spirited… for instance Gina's sister complaining about karaoke singers, that kind of brought it down a bit for me.
But also, for some reason Fabio seemed a bit older and not quite what I would have expected too for some reason. Plus the idea of Gina leaving her own successful business also wasn't that appealing to root for after spending so much time getting to know it. But I'm sure that while this one wasn't a total favorite of mine a lot will love the story.
I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

Affiliate Interviews: Toni Halonen, Co-founder & CEO of Good Game
Good Game is an iGaming lead generation company based in Malta. Good Game differentiates itself from its competitors by concentrating only on a handful of sites, focusing on user intent and creating recognisable brands from these few sites. Long-term value for the user and partners has been the key to their success in the Finnish casino affiliate market.
Name: Toni Halonen
Age: 34
Hometown: Ilomantsi, Finland
Living in: Malta
Favourite Food: Traditional Finnish home cooking, Japanese, Indian, Thai
Must-Read Book: The Lord of The Rings, The War of Art
Job Title: Co-founder & CEO
Hi Toni, tell us and our readers a little bit about Good Game. How did your career start in the industry?
I've always been fascinated by all sorts of games, be it sports, computer games, board games or gambling. I opened my first online casino account when I turned 18 and started dabbling with online poker around 2004.
After finishing my studies in 2008, I started thinking what I should do for a living and it was then that I came across poker affiliation. The idea of having my own site came to me in 2008, but it took one year of the "real working life" before I jumped into playing poker professionally and chasing my affiliate dream. 🙂
Luckily I wasn't alone in this, because my childhood friend, Ville Sissonen, also played online poker and showed an interest in affiliation. Our half-serious, half-joke motto in the beginning was: "maximising the passive income". 🙂 Passwords to our affiliate accounts were always something like "BuyM3rc3d3s2010" back in the day, haha. I still don't have a Mercedes, but Ville bought his first this year. (The passwords have since been changed, so no point trying to log in. 😉 )
Good Game was established in Malta in 2011 by me and Ville. We came to Malta to play online poker professionally and build affiliate sites on the side. The affiliate business only really started to pay off after our Head of SEO, Jussi Kauppinen, joined the company in 2013. During that time, we also began concentrating only on casino affiliation.
We sold our then main domain in 2015 and went all-in with the money from the first sale straight into building our next project – this time in an actual office 🙂 – and with a team of ten people. That project came to an end at the beginning of this year when our main casino site was bought. Now we're concentrating solely on our UK project.
Explain your current UK project, Bojoko.com, in one sentence.
Airbnb for online casinos.
What makes it different from other casino affiliate sites based on player communities, casino reviews and social proof?
The biggest difference from our competitors is that Bojoko allows casinos and game suppliers to create their own reviews, and publish their own offers and game reviews. This way they can control their brand (tone of voice, design etc.) beyond their own website and ensure that affiliate marketing for their brand is done according to the UK Gambling Commission's standards.
Casinos and game suppliers have understood this concept well. New casinos have been especially keen on listing themselves on Bojoko.
What's the reason behind launching Bojoko? In other words, why does Bojoko exist?
There are a couple of reasons why we've built Bojoko. First of all, we wanted to minimise the role of an affiliate in everything the user sees and interacts with on the site. Secondly, we see a big gap in how iGaming is consumed compared to other industries operating online. Selecting, playing and transfering money to casinos could be a lot more fluid and safer than it is now.
Our purpose is to build tools for Bojoko users, which they can then use to create this more fluid, safer vision of iGaming. We want to positively transform the iGaming user experience. This way we can establish casino games as an acceptable mainstream pastime too.
How do you see the UK market?
It's certainly more competitive than the Finnish casino affiliation market and there are many more established brands which are almost non-existent in Finland. It's a good challenge to build a site for a large market.
Tell us one change that you want to see in the online gambling industry?
I'd like to see all forms of online gambling becoming as accepted in the mainstream as lotteries are. Offering more user-centric products and safer gambling will move the needle to the right direction. There are good initiatives underway in the UK in these two areas, although I'd like to see us, the gambling companies, driving this change and not relying or waiting for regulators to do it. There's a much bigger pie waiting to be shared in the long run if iGaming becomes a widely accepted and respected industry.
Do you have any advice for newbies who are looking to venture into casino affiliation?
You should constantly ask yourself questions which reveal what kind of person you are. This helps you find the values and ideals you want to push forward in the industry you're working in. It will also boost your motivation immensely and endow you with a more holistic approach to building your business.
What do you think will be the biggest trends in iGaming in 2018?
Regulation is one, for sure. It will bring new rules to online gambling once again, but it also brings predictability (such as in Sweden) and new markets (US sports betting) to the table. Predictability and new markets are great things for the entire online gambling industry.
What other new things can we expect from Good Game and Bojoko in the second half of 2018?
Bojoko has just rolled out a new tool which helps users tremendously in their casino selection. The tool is attached to our casino lists and lets users filter and sort online casinos easily with over 30 different data points so you can really get to the one casino that satisfies all your requirements. Just like hunting for the perfect vacation home on Airbnb.
In the coming months, we'll be focusing on bringing more user features like this to Bojoko. They will help users mainly in two ways:
- Selecting online casinos more quickly and easily
- Interacting with other Bojoko users in our community
If you find this interesting, the best way to stay tuned to Bojoko and join in the fun is to sign up on the site.

GAV: Hi Luke, tell us and our readers as well, a little bit about yourself, we want to know who Luke really is. How did your career start in the industry? What was your first job?
Luke: This is my first real activity in the gambling industry. But if we're talking digital marketing, I got started back in 2003. Personal SEO projects made for a nice side earner while studying – at the time I had no inkling that it'd become a career.
GAV: Do you still remember when you first heard about gambling or online casinos?
Luke: It was probably about fifteen years ago – I set up a very small and unsuccessful affiliate site with my brother called Bonkers Betting! It's hard to avoid the industry when working in digital. Partly because it's an incubator for bleeding edge acquisition tactics.
GAV: Since there are thousands of websites and portals in this niche out there, where do you think your websites stand at this moment and what is that plus that the other comparison portals don't have?
Luke: One of our strengths is we've come from outside the industry with a fresh perspective. Our inspiration also comes from outside the industry – the big travel and insurance comparison sites for starters. They're a long way ahead of gambling comparison, but we're aiming to catch up fast – in terms of content, user experience and brand.
GAV: Tell us about your team a bit!
Luke: We're based in Shoreditch – hipster central in London. The area has a great buzz, full of startups, as well as vibrant bars, restaurants and galleries. There are currently around a dozen of us at the company, spanning marketing, commercial and tech. We've got a great bunch of people all striving to take gambling comparison to the next level. Also, we're hiring!
GAV: What kind of SEO, digital marketing or affiliate techniques do you follow this year, and how about any new upcoming trends?
Luke: For us, the definition of good digital marketing doesn't necessarily change monthly or even yearly. Paid search, paid social, organic search – the platforms and behaviours evolve, of course. We're less focused on the next new thing, tactical marketing trick or short-term win. For us the differentiation is in execution, organisational agility and deep understanding of our lines of business. This allows us to adapt to the evolving landscape, including from a regulatory perspective. Of course, the big change happening right now for data/permission marketers is GDPR. We're hopeful that this will succeed in ensuring users' interests and personal data is protected.
GAV: What are the challenges that you and your team face in regards to affiliate marketing in 2018.
Luke: Put simply, the ever-increasing ferocity of competition in the sector. Everyone wants a piece of the pie – we are acutely aware that in order to maintain and grow ours, we have to earn it. This keeps us at the top of our game. We wouldn't have it any other way.
GAV: How do you manage to keep the websites fresh and relevant, when a lot of fluffy and nonsense appear on the Internet non-stop?
Luke: The crusade for 'fresh content' has created a cottage industry of content churners who prioritise volume over quality. We take a different approach – while we do aim to create vast and comprehensive sites, we're not fans of expansion for expansion's sake. We find that writing for people rather than search engines acts as an automatic fluff filter.
GAV: We are pretty convinced that you receive messages from Affiliate Managers on a daily basis showcasing their best products. You, of course select them by the brands they work with. What are your thoughts on how a real Affiliate Manager-Affiliate relationship should be built, and how not?!
Luke: Trust, transparency and sharing of insights. When you're providing a quality service and valuable traffic, there is no need for smoke and mirrors in the partner relationship. This honest and open approach makes everything easier and is best for all in the long run.
GAV: Next to the UK market, which are the other ones that you already target or want to expand into?
Luke: We have our eye on several regulated/soon-to-regulate markets in Europe. We're also growing Compare.bet with a global scope – the recent US news creates great potential, but we expect to pick up traffic from a real long tail of geographies.
GAV: How do you see the Nordic market?
Luke: Having been a fairly stable and attractive region for some years, things are starting to change – with regulation in Sweden and moves to restrict in Norway via payment blocking etc.
Our first step into Scandinavia is with our Swedish comparison site ToppOnlineCasinon.se – we already work with most of the top operators in the region but are being very careful not to make assumptions about user behaviour and what will work over there. Our eyes and ears are open to the requirements of Swedish players and operators alike, and we expect the user experience to diverge from our UK sites based on what we learn about specific local needs over time.
GAV: Tell us one change that you want to see in the online gambling industry?!
Luke: We want running a 'gambling affiliate site' to be as well respected as running a 'finance comparison business'. This will only happen with the industry taking more of a user focus and thinking bigger. There are certainly signs that this is starting to happen.
GAV: Do you have any advice for newbies who are looking to venture into this majestic industry!?
Luke: Get into the data. Not only will it allow you to improve your own metrics, but it will create transparency with partners and the opportunity to work together to grow based on real insights.
GAV: How about iGaming/online casino/gambling conferences, do you attend any of them? If so, which one is your favourite and what is your most fun experience?
Luke: We try to attend as many as possible. It's rare to leave without a killer insight or two, at least. Face time with partners is also invaluable We're looking forward to Lisbon this autumn – the weather should in theory be better than Berlin, which is a plus!
GAV: Where would you like to travel in Eastern Europe, any favourite country or region?
Luke: I haven't seen much of it, so I'd have quite a long to-do list! In particular, I've heard great things about Slovenia.
GAV: Where you wouldn't want to travel in Eastern Europe?
Luke: I wouldn't rule anywhere out!
GAV: How about a favourite celebrity or a mentor, do you have one?
Luke: I'm not a big follower of celebrity. I have however been fortunate enough to have worked with a range of experienced and knowledgeable senior colleagues throughout my career, all of whom have had a great influence.

Affiliate Interviews: Nina Sparv of Nya-casinon.org (Epicorns)
Name: Nina Sparv
Age: 29
Hometown: Vasa (Finland)
Living in: Andorra
Favorite Food: Seafood, I guess I´m not allowed to answer wine here, am I?
Profession/Job title: CMO & Co-founder at Epicorns
GAV: Hello Nina, first of all tell us and our readers as well a little bit about yourself, we want to know who Nina really is? How did your career start in the industry? Since when are you active at Nya Casinon?
NS: I`m born in Vasa, a small city in the west coast of Finland. It´s a two-language city, so I actually speak Swedish with my family instead of Finnish. An interesting fact that many people might not know about Finland. I kind of ended up in the industry pretty randomly, I was tired of Finland and I was searching for some new adventures. In the same moment, my previous boss in Finland asked me if I would be interested into moving to Cyprus. He had a friend that was working as a CEO for a gambling company that needed a copywriter for both Swedish and Finnish content so he thought I might fit, since I also happen to love playing slots. I had no experience in the industry, but I liked it a lot from the very beginning. After working as a copywriter / content manager for one year, I got promoted to Business Manager, where after I was responsible for the business development of 3 separate casino brands in several different markets. The company was fairly small, so it was great that they gave everyone so much responsibility, since I learned a lot during the 1,5 years as a Business Manager. Without that experience, I wouldn't probably be where I am today. Many people say you shouldn´t mix work and personal life, I couldn´t quite live up to that, since that´s exactly what happened in Cyprus, I met my soul partner Jaume at work. We moved together and after a while we got tired of Cyprus and moved to Andorra to set up our own affiliate company and online marketing company. It sounds easy and fast, but there was a lot of sweat, tears and endless amount of work before the company first of all, was setup, and second of all, before the sites actually started generating money.
GAV: We know that you're also active at an international online marketing company, tell us all about it?
NS: Epicorns (our company) was first setup as an online marketing and consultancy company to be able to generate income, that we later could use on investing in our affiliate sites. We have been doing a lot of consultancy and online marketing services during the last year to generate income, such as SEO, web development and content writing. Now that our affiliate sites have started to generate money, we don´t focus much on promoting our online marketing or consultancy services, but it´s always good to have them as a backup plan.
GAV: Since there are thousands of websites and portals in this niche out there, where do you think nya-casinon.org stands now and what is that plus that the other portals don't have?
NS: First of all, the Swedish market is very competitive, and it´s difficult to compete against all the giant affiliate companies nowadays. That´s also why we´ve decided to focus on a small niche within the market, which is new casinos, where we should be able to reach some of the top positions in Google with the great domain that we have. It´s still a very new website, and it will probably take some time for it to jump higher in the rankings, but we´re working hard with the content and the SEO constantly.
GAV: Next to the swedish market which market do you target?
NS: With nya-casinon.org we naturally only target the Swedish market, but we have in total around 150 websites targeting a lot of different markets. Currently we´re focusing mainly in the Finnish, Swedish and Spanish markets, but we also have websites in Norwegian, German, English, Portuguese, Italian and French.
GAV: How do you see the online casino market/industry at this moment?
NS: I don´t think it´s needed to say, but it´s a very competitive industry, although it´s still a fairly new industry. Every time it´s getting more difficult and it´s taking way longer time to be able to reach high rankings for the websites. There´s new affiliates sites and casinos launched every month, so you must keep up with the speed if you want to be in the game. Before you could basically rank a website with few pages and some blogposts, which nowadays is barely impossible.
GAV: Is it hard for a woman in this industry, which are the advantages and disadvantages?
NS: I don´t see it hard as a woman to be in this industry, we´re obviously not the majority, but there´s a lot of professional women within the Igaming industry. I wouldn't say being as a woman is any different from being as a man in the industry, neither do I have any advantages or disadvantages to mention.
GAV: In your opinion what are the strong points of nya-casinon.org and what makes it stand out from the other niche websites?
NS: Since I write most of the content myself, I would say unique content and up to date blogposts for the users about the latest promotions and news.
GAV: We have browsed your website and found some great quality content. Are you writing it by yourself or do you have a team of people writing for you?
NS: I try to write as much as I can myself, but since we have already a lot of websites in both Swedish and Finnish, it´s difficult to keep up with everything. Last year I was writing for all the websites, but now there´s too much work in other parts of the websites to be done. The blogposts and news I always write myself, but for the rest of the new content I have 3 freelance content writers helping me out, one in Sweden and two in Finland.
GAV: How about the online marketing and SEO of your website, how many team members do you have, let us in on a new trend that you guys are following?
NS: In the marketing and SEO, we´re in total 3 people, and we try to divide the workload by markets or countries, where I usually work with the Swedish and Finnish markets. I would lie If I say that we have some awesome new trend that we´re following, it would sound cool though. Our main target right now is to keep on doing what we´re doing, and keep growing the sites with great content and good links.
GAV: How do you manage to keep all the website fresh and relevant, when a lot of fluffy and nonsense appear on the Internet non-stop?
NS: Since I write most of the blogposts and news myself, it´s not that difficult. I check the news within the industry daily and scrolling through all the available promotions and offers few times a week to be able to write about interesting topics for the users.
GAV: We know for sure that you receive messages from Affiliate Managers on a daily basis showcasing their best products. You, of course select them by the brands they work with. What are your thoughts on how a real Affiliate Manager-Affiliate relationship should be built, and how not?!
NS: Nowadays it depends a lot, since there´s these huge affiliate companies but also small startups like us, so of course the relationship with the affiliate managers is not the same for both. I prefer to work with affiliate managers that are genuinely interested in our business and in us, not just interested in how many players we can bring in one month. We have a lot of affiliate managers that have helped us, and have been interested in us, from the beginning, although we weren't able to bring much players. These are the relationships that later have turned into friendships, which I think is a beautiful part of the business.
GAV: How do you see the future of the online casino/gambling industry? For instance, will it become a truly global phenomenon?
NS: After visiting Las Vegas this month, I think that the gambling industry will for sure always exist. It provides a bit of excitement to the everyday life for a lot of people. Gambling is already very popular in many places all around the world, so I´m sure it will at some point become a truly global phenomenon. About the online casino business, I think it will become more and more regulated for each year in the countries, but that it will surely always exist.
GAV: How about the swedish market, and the Nordic market, it has seen a huge growth?
NS: Gambling, Poker and Betting is something that have been advertised in the Nordics already for years, so I would say that the Nordics (Finnish people specially) are gamblers by nature. You can´t even step into a food shop without seeing slots and huge lottery jackpots. The "Boom" of the Nordic markets happened already some years back, but there´s constantly entering more and more players due to new younger generations and new innovative marketing campaigns.
GAV: Tell us one change that you want to see in the online casino industry?!
NS: Trust. In countries like Malta, UK and Sweden for example, the casino industry is a normal everyday business. But in many other countries the casino industry is even illegal, although betting and sports is very popular for instance. This is one of the reasons this business is still seen as a bit "dirty" and "not reliable", although the people like me for example, are doing normal online marketing stuff, just like any other person working in an online focused business.
GAV: Do you have any advise you would like to offer to newbies who are looking to venture into this majestic industry!?
NS: Patience. It will take time, a lot of work and knowledge before you´re able to make a living out of this business on your own.
GAV: How about iGaming or affiliate conferences, do you attend any of them? If so, which one is your favorite and what is your most fun experience? Did you attend the Nordic Affiliate Conference?
NS: I love going to the conferences, I think it´s because I´ve never actually lived in a place where the business is based and where there is a lot of people from the business to talk with, on every day basis, like in Malta for example. The conferences are the only time I have a chance to catch up with friends and colleagues within the business. I would say my favorite conference is the iGB, Berlin Affiliate Conference that I´ve attended a couple of times. This year we haven´t had time to join any conference yet, unfortunately neither the Nordic Affiliate Conference. But we´re heading in September to the Affiliate Grand Slam in Bucharest and in November to SIGMA in Malta.
GAV: What do you think the chances are for Eastern Europe to become a potential gaming hotspot in the near future? Where do you think the region must improve upon?
NS: I´m pretty sure it will become a gaming hotspot, there´s a lot of potential traffic, but it´s still not very popular.
GAV: Where would you like to travel in Eastern Europe, any favorite country or region?
NS: Oh that´s a difficult question, there´s a lot of cool and beautiful places in Eastern Europe. I would like to travel to Romania and Czech Republic since I haven´t been there before. Now we will visit Bucharest in September since we´re attending the Affiliate Grand Slam conference. If I must pick a favorite country I would pick Poland, although I like Estonia a lot as well.
GAV: Where you wouldn't want to travel in Eastern Europe 🙂 ?
NS: Travelling and exploring new places is awesome, so it would be wrong if I said I didn´t want to travel to some specific place.
GAV: How about a favorite celebrity or a mentor, do you have one?
NS: I have a lot of favorite celebrities, mostly YouTube stars, especially Pewdiepie and a famous Spanish youtuber: AuronPlay. I also like the Spanish president Rajoy, he´s just too funny with his comments that doesn't make much sense most of the times.
I also have to mention Jaume (my better half) here, since he has been a very big influencer and mentor in my life since the first day we met.
GAV: Tell us your opinion about the Gambling Affiliate Voice?
NS: It´s a good and important iGaming magazine, since I like to keep up to date what´s happening within the business I try to check the website few times a week. There´s a great variety of different news and updates which I usually find very interesting and worth reading.
GAV: Nina, thank you for the interview, if you have any news to share just let us know! We wish you guys all the best!

While your mobile app offers you with an opportunity to earn, there are an numerous apps with potential users, giving you a fierce competition. You need to stand out in this competition. So, when you develop a mobile app and plan to market it, your priority is to minimize the money and time spent on attracting uninterested users who may just install the app and then may uninstall it without adding any value to your customer base. Thus, only the installation of the app is not enough, but user engagement by app after installation is important. So, after initial installation the real goal is to engage the user post-install for sustained success.
Different mobile app marketing pricing models
There are several pricing models available for mobile app marketing to help you advertise and add value to your brand. These include Cost per action (CPA) or cost per engagement (CPE), Cost per completed view (CPCV), Cost per install (CPI) or cost per download (CPD), Cost per mille impressions (CPM), Cost per click (CPC).
Though several models for pricing mobile app marketing exist, advertisers usually contract cost per action (CPA), also known as pay per acquisition, advertising campaigns for mobile apps and internet sites as it has been shown that most of the users acquired via CPI, CPC, CPM, or CPD are considerably low-value. Publishers and developers are paid for certain types of actions or acquisitions post-installation. The different types of actions that may constitute a CPA campaign include views, clicks, downloads, installs, form submissions, reviews and ratings, contact information submission, in-app purchases, etc. The advertiser needs to decide which post-install actions are the best indicators of revenue and future conversions and decide the value of each post-install action. Though the post-install actions vary across industries and apps, generally, a publisher or developer is paid for every 1000 or 5000 actions but it may differ from one advertiser to advertiser.
CPA benefits both advertiser and publisher
CPA provides advertisers with the freedom to choose the type of space they wish to acquire. Publishers and front-end developers also benefit as they can get profited by every action of the consumer. Thus, CPA is one of the biggest methods of buying online advertising and also the most effective. CPA campaigns are particularly beneficial for app publishers and app developers who have just started out and are keen to increase the popularity and viewership of the app on the app stores. They can thus act as free advertising by the publisher and help measure the rate of investment (ROI) of an advertising budget.
Advantages of CPA campaigns
1. CPA campaigns offer an opportunity for integrated advertising
2. Instead of frustrating the customer with obvious banners and popup ads, advertisers work indirectly to gain revenue.
3. Publishers can take control of advertising themselves as the CPA networks require the developer to reach out to them, and not vice-versa.
4. ROI is easy to measure. Though CPI, CPCV, CPM are all valuable for creating brand awareness and can communicate important brand messages, it can be tricky to prove that these attributes will make the user end up in buying your product or service. CPA, on the other hand, helps you get hold of the ROI and conversions in a much easier manner.
5. CPA campaigns are based on certain parameters that act as key performance indicators (KPIs) post install. So if the right audience is targeted, and real-time monitoring and optimizing tools are used, the chances of acquiring a lot more loyal, high quality, easier-to-monetize users are increased enormously.
6. CPA model helps in optimizing your traffic sources and campaign mechanisms, and cherry-pick the best users for your app.
7. Advertisers can filter and target users who are likely to participate in revenue-producing events and pay on a sliding scale based on the actions users carry out.
8. Though the initial acquisition cost may be higher than other pre-install campaigns, CPA campaign provides you with net users who tend to have a higher lifetime value as they will engage with an app over time.
What are legitimate needs of a good CPA network?
For achieving increased revenue and profit standards, a good CPA network depends on legitimate needs from a trustworthy business. So, a publisher or developer should try to reach out first for the following reasons:
Honesty: CPA networks are more likely to engage in a contract with the publisher or developer who reaches out first.
Know your network: As a developer or publisher, you need to analyse if a particular CPA network is right for a specific campaign. So before finalising you need to understand which networks are reliable and trustworthy.
As the hardware people are using to access the changing media is also changing, numerous opportunities for utilizing these pricing models have come up for advertisers, developers, and publishers in the digital marketing sector. So, using the right pricing model is of utmost importance for solid advertising and sales strategy to add value to the user-base of your mobile app for aligning your business. Thus, by targeting high-value app users with a CPA-optimized model, advertisers decrease the risk of spending money on acquiring users who will prove to be low-value customers.
