ROMA day 1.
... City Sightseeing busses were doing their laps so Kate and I decided to jump on one as you can jump on and off at any stop within the certain time you buy a ticket for, which was really handy! The bus had little earphones also, to give you a quick note on what you were driving past. I really enjoyed this, as it was a chance to sit after hours of walking, along ...
When in Rome...Eat Gelato
I went to the coliseum today! I took Chelsea and Cortney's advice and purchased my ticket from the Roman Forum rather than from the coliseum itself, which was a super smart thing for me to do! The tickets are valid for both locations, and the line at the forum was all of 10 people, while the line at the coliseum was easily close to 2 hours long. I got to walk past all of those suckers, straight into the home of the gladiators! You guys. ...

There is a little building next store where Loyola actually lived and died and his tomb is in the church. It's very elaborate, especially for someone who had lived in a cave and then like a monk in service to the poor.

This invention was made with Government support under Grant Contract No. CA-39428 and CA-13525 awarded by the National Institute of Health. The Government has certain rights in this invention.
This invention relates generally to a microwave antenna and more particularly to an implantable helical coil microwave antenna for improved localization of interstitial hyperthermia.
Hyperthermia constitutes an effective adjuvant treatment for malignant tumors which are refractory to conventional therapy with surgery, radiation or chemotherapy. Hyperthermia can be administered to a patient either by an externally applied electromagnetic or ultrasound source, or internally by an interstitial heating technique. Implantable microwave antenna heating has proven the most popular of the three present interstitial heating modalities.
However, major problems arise with the use of conventional half-wavelength dipole antennas which severely limit the applicability and effectiveness of interstitial microwave hyperthermia. Such problems include: variability of heating profiles when the antenna is inserted to different depths in the tissue to be treated, restricted range of possible heating lengths for a given microwave frequency, and the presence of a so-called "cold region" or "dead length" occurring at the tip of the antenna. Attempts have been made to solve one or more of the above problems by providing implantable radiating antennas having improved performance characteristics.
For example, two-node and three-node microwave antennas have been proposed to expand the heating volume to as much as twice that provided by a single-node dipole antenna. However, such antennas have exhibited an inhomogenous heating pattern with three or four peaks along the antenna axis and a failure to heat effectively out of the antenna tip. A variable diameter dipole antenna has also been proposed to force the heating current into larger diameter sections of the antenna which fit snugly within the biocompatible plastic catheter. The larger diameter section at the tip of the antenna appears to provide more effective tip heating, but the antenna still exhibits considerable dependence of heating on insertion depth and periodic excessive surface tissue heating.
Other types of dipole antennas, such as the sleeved coaxial slot and balun-fed folded dipole, have been proposed for shifting the heating field out to the antenna tip. The concept of multiple breaks in the coax outer conductor of the antenna with each section being driven by a separate microwave source has held some promise for closer control of the depth heating profile, but at the expense of greatly increased equipment complexity. Although often accomplishing an expansion of the effective heating length for a given frequency and/or a reduction in dead length at the tip, the above types of antennas are commonly plagued with the same critical problem as that of the linearly polarized simple dipole antenna, namely, a critical dependence of the heating pattern on the depth of insertion.
Another proposed technique employs an "over-ride" reciprocated motion system for linearly translating the dipole antenna during treatment. Although this technique may potentially solve at least part of the axial heating pattern problem, predictability and real time control of the overall heating pattern would likely prove difficult due to power deposition pattern changes at different positions within the range of antenna movement.
A similar development of antenna designs has occurred for intracavitary heating applications. Antennas of this type having somewhat larger diameters (e.g., 1-1.5 cm v. 0.1-0.15 cm) have been used in the treatment of tissues surrounding body cavities. An antenna of the latter type has been constructed with a 1.0 cm diameter coax cable outer conductor cut in a helical manner and pulled apart axially to form a helical extenson of the antenna feedline outer conductor having ten turns extending 14 cm in length. Thermal profiles of the antenna were found to be quite variable for the different conditions studied and the antenna exhibited a strong dependence on both source frequency and insertion depth. Most tests were performed using insertion depths less than the 14 cm length coil.
A so-called "flexible leakage type" antenna has also been proposed for use at 2450 MHz. This type of antenna consists of a helical structure composed of 1.0 mm wide copper foil tape interconnected between the inner and outer conductors of a 2.0 mm diameter flexible coaxial cable.
The improved microwave antenna of this invention is comprised of an inner conductor, a dielectric insulator covering the inner conductor and an outer conductor covering only a proximal portion of the insulator to form a coaxial cable thereat and to leave a distal portion of the insulator uncovered. A helical coil surrounds the distal portion of the insulator and has its proximal end spaced axially from a distal end of the outer conductor and its distal end connected to a distal end of the inner conductor.
The antenna will function to confine heat to the immediate area surrounding the helical coil and to produce substantially identical thermal profiles at varying depths of insertion of the antenna into the treatment volume tissue when the antenna is energized with microwave energy. In addition, the antenna of this invention exhibits other advantages over existing implantable microwave antenna designs. For example, the size of the heated volume for a given frequency can be adjusted readily by simply changing the length of the coil (within a preselected range). The dead length (cold portion at the end of the implanted antenna) is eliminated which minimizes the need for implanting antennas deeper than the lower extent of the target region. Undesirable tissue heating along the antenna feedline is eliminated with deep insertions, as well as overheating of the tissue surface for shallow depth insertions of the antenna.
The antenna of this invention will thus provide well focused and controlled interstitial hyperthermia to a given volume of tissue, regardless of location within a larger structure without undesirable and uncontrollable hot spots along the antenna feedline. Multiple antenna arrays may be used to expand the effective heating volume laterally, using either coherently or incoherently phased microwave sources. Use of the antenna is compatible with existing radioactive seed brachytherapy for combination interstitial hyperthermia and radiation therapy of malignant tumors. Although the antenna is particularly adapted for improved heating uniformity in interstitial hyperthermia therapy of cancer, the antenna is useful for a variety of other applications wherein heat must be applied uniformly to the interior of large lossy dielectric volumes. New applications in food warming, material quick-thawing and tissue therapy are expected with reduced pricing of antennas and microwave sources.
Other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent from the following description and accompanying drawings wherein:

FIG. 5 is a comparison in dog thigh muscle in vivo of the radial temperature fall-off from the antenna of this invention to that of the standard dipole antenna, and to that of thermal conduction heating only; and
FIG. 6 is a graph showing the essentially constant shape of the induced temperature distribution for three different 915 MHz helical coil antenna insertion depths in dog thigh muscle in vivo.
FIG. 1 illustrates an implantable helical coil microwave antenna 10 embodying the present invention. The antenna was constructed from a miniature coaxial cable comprising a metallic inner conductor 11 surrounded by a tubular dielectric insulator 12 fully covering the inner conductor. A distal section of a tubular metallic outer conductor 13 was removed so that the outer conductor only covered a proximal portion of insulator 12 to form a coaxial cable portion thereat and to leave a distal portion of the insulator uncovered.
A metallic wire helical coil 14 was constructed to surround the distal portion of insulator 12 and to have its proximal end spaced axially from a distal end of outer conductor 13 to form a separation gap G therebetween. A distal end of the helical coil was soldered and connected at 15 to a distal end of inner conductor 11. As more fully explained hereinafter, antenna 10 was found to confine heat to the immediate area surrounding helical coil 14 and to induce substantially identical thermal profiles at varying depths of insertion of the antenna into an organic subject when the antenna was energized with microwave energy.
In use, antenna 10 is adapted to slip within a standard 16-gauge plastic catheter 16, as is, commonly used for brachyradiotherapy treatments. In use, the catheter entirely covers the implanted antenna and is closed at is distal end. Antenna design parameters, such as the axial coil length L, coil turn density and specific wire material composing helical coil 14, are predetermined for proper impedance match to biological tissue at a given microwave frequency.
The exact number of coil turns and separation distance of gap G are predetermined for each antenna application, along with the coil turn density and connection configuration of the coil to the coax feed line which are essential determinates of the radiated field. In addition to the ability of antenna 10 to effectively confine heat to the region immediately surrounding helical coil 14 and to efficiently radiate such heat independently of implanted depth, the size of the heated voluem can be readily adjusted by adding more such antennas to the array, by changing frequency and/or by changing length L of the helical coil for a given coil turn density. Additional adjustments to the heating field may be accomplished by using variable spacing and variable diameter of the coil turns to shape the power deposition pattern along the antenna length. Since the dead length (cold portion at the end of the implanted antenna) is eliminated, the need for implanting the antenna deeper than the lower extent of the target region is minimized. Also, undesirable tissue heating along the antenna feedline is eliminated along with overheating of the tissue surface for shallow depth insertions.
Comparative testing of antenna 10 against the simple dipole antenna 17 (FIG. 3) showed that the power deposition characteristic of the standard antenna varied significantly for varying insertion depth (FIG. 4) in contrast to the power deposition pattern of antenna 10 which remained essentially constant regardless of insertion depth (FIG. 2). In use, implanted antenna 17 is also entirely covered with a plastic catheter 16 (FIG. 1), closed at its distal end. The ordinates "% maximum temperature rise" in FIGS. 2 and 4 also depict "relative specific absorption rate."
The specific antenna embodiment 10 used for comparative testing purposes described below constituted a 0.095 cm OD semi-rigid coaxial cable sized to slip within plastic catheter 16 (FIG. 1). The outer diameters of inner conductor 11, insulator 12 and outer conductor 13 were 0.02 cm, 0.061 cm and 0.095 cm, respectively. Gap G, between the distal end of outer conductor 13 and the proximal end of helical coil 14, was 0.1 cm whereas length L of the helical coil was 1.0 cm. The distal end of the helical coil was soldered to the distal end of the inner conductor at 15. The inner and outer conductors were composed of a standard copper based alloy having high electromagnetic wave energy transmission properties whereas insulator 12 was composed of a standard Teflon (polytetraflouroethylene) material.
Helical coil 14 was also composed of a metallic conductor having high microwave energy transmission properties. For example, antennas constructed with 0.032 cm nichrome, 0.032 cm varnish insulated copper, and 0.0203 cm silver-plated copper wire all have been used successfully. The outside diameter of the helical coil closely approximated 0.12 cm to facilitate insertion of antenna 10 into standard 16-gauge plastic catheter 16.
Helical coil 14 was formed by wrapping a wire tightly around a stainless steel wire form, dimensioned to provide the desired diameter, length and turn density of helical coil 14. After extracting the wire form from the formed helical coil, the helical coil was installed carefully over the bare dielectric insulator portion of insulator 12, as shown in FIG. 1, and soldered at 15. Gap G was set at 0.1 cm.
In the preferred embodiments of this invention, axial length L and the turn density of helical coil 14 provide an impedance match of a microwave generator to an organic subject (e.g., tissue to be treated) at a microwave frequency ranging from approximately 0.1 to 3.0 GHz. Helical coil 14 preferably has a length L selected from the approximate range of from 1.0-10.0 cm and has equally spaced turns in the approximate range of 7 to 16 turns per cm. More sophisticated applications of this invention are anticipated with variable turn density along the coil to customize the heating field shape.
The following discussion briefly summarizes a typical surgical procedure using the above-described helical coil microwave antenna 10 for improving the localization of interstitial hyperthermia. An appropriate length antenna is first chosen to provide the desired heating pattern in accordance with the above discussions. For 915 MHz operation, a nichrome or copper wire coil with axial length L in the range of 1.0-10.0 cm may be selected for proper heat localization to the coil tip. Depending on target size, multiple-antenna array operation is possible to expand the effective heating volume.
A parallel array of 16-gauge plastic catheters 16 are inserted into the target region of a patient with the aid of a ≦1.0 cm grid template or stereotactic surgical frame. Metal needles or stainless steel stylets are normally used to guide the catheters in place. A standard CT scan or simple X-ray will verify proper location of the catheters relative to the tumor or other tissue to be treated.
Antennas 10 are inserted into the desired catheters 16 and extended to the appropriate insertion depth. Standard temperature sensing probes are inserted into other plastic catheters to monitor and control the temperature distribution. If it is found that one or more of the antennas are not well matched electrically to the tissue load, minor adjustments can be made to the helical coil turn spacing or a double stub tuner can be used to obtain the best match of antenna to generator. Each antenna is connected to a microwave generator via a flexible coaxial cable in a conventional manner.
Microwave power can be controlled either manually or automatically by a computer feedback system to maintain the desired minimum tissue temperature (typically 43� C. for one hour, or equivalent). The temperature probes are manually translated inside the respective plastic catheters to monitor temperatures at approximately 1 cm increments within the heated tissue volume several times during the treatment to provide information on the internal temperature distribution of the tumor volume. At the end of treatment, microwave power is terminated and all antennas and sensors are removed from the catheters. Interstitial hyperthermia therapy induced via the implanted antennas can be repeated before and after radioactive seed brachyradiotherapy without additional surgery, using the same implanted plastic catheters 16.
Standard dipole antenna 17 of FIG. 3 was constructed from a 0.095 cm semi-rigid coaxial cable having an inner conductor 18 covered by an insulator 19. An outer conductor 20 was cut circumferentially at 21 to form an axial separation gap of 0.1 cm between the cut portions of the outer insulator. A metallic connector 22 was soldered between the distal ends of the inner and outer conductors. Previous tests have shown this simple "Dipole" type structure operates identically to other dipole styles having a soldered connection (not shown in FIG. 3) of inner conductor 18 to outer conductor 20, adjacent to gap 21.
The specific polarization pattern of HCS style antennas is highly dependent on the source frequency, length of helix, spacing and diameter of coil turns 14.
Antenna 10 with a coil turn density of 10 turns/cm, a gap G of 0.1 cm, a coil diameter of 0.12 cm and a coil length of λ/4 of 1.0 cm (3.5 cm) was found to generate apparently circularly polarized electromagnetic waves which effectively localized the heating to the region surrounding the coil when driven at 2450 MHz (915 MHz). Other similar helical coil antennas with lengths L ranging from 1-5 cm, turn densities of 7-16 turns/cm and gap G from 0.1-5 cm also have been tested successfully at the two frequencies.
For comparative dosimetry study purposes and to match heating efficiencies of the antennas, each antenna was tuned to the coaxial feedline with a double stub tuner. The tuners were capable of precisely matching the antennas to the source frequency and feedline characteristics. This procedure enabled a direct comparison of antenna performance under optimum matched conditions, regardless of tissue properties or antenna insertion depth.
In order to study the antenna heating characteristics in a reproducible, homogenous tissue medium, soft tissue phantom was used initially to obtain the relative heating profiles of the different antenna configurations as a function of insertion depth. The phantom was composed of a mixture of distilled water (75.2%, base), TX-150 (15.4%, gelling agent), sodium chloride (1.0%, to adjust electrical conductivity), and polyethylene powder (8.4%, to lower dielectric constant). The mixture is known to have approximately the same electrical properties as those of human soft tissue at 915 MHz. A similarly appropriate phantom mixture was used for studies at 2450 MHz.
The material was contained in an 8�8�11 cm plexiglass box transversed by a 0.5 cm array of 16-gauge Teflon catheters for holding the antennas and multi-sensor temperature probes. Five phantom models were constructed during the course of the experiments and the reproducibility of thermal profiles in each phantom was verified, using both antennas 10 and 17. To evaluate the difference in axial thermal profiles (FIG. 2 vs. FIG. 4) produced by each antenna type, single antennas were inserted into a catheter which was immersed in the phantom so that gap G (FIG. 1) or gap 21 (FIG. 3) was located 1.0 cm below the phantom surface. The total insertion depth of 2.1 cm (approximately λ/2 in tissue) was considered near optimum for the standard dipole antenna 17.
Axial power deposition profiles of antennas 10 and 17 were compared for total insertion depths of 1.35 cm, 2.1 cm and 3.1 cm in phantom, as illustrated by each of the three curves in FIGS. 2 and 4. These tests were intended to model the three clinically relevant conditions of antenna use: too shallow, optimum implant depth, and too deep. Radial power deposition profiles in several planes perpendicular to the antennas were obtained for a single insertion depth of 2.1 cm. These profiles were then compared to the radial temperature fall-off obtained using a heated water circuit of similar dimensions as a control for strictly thermal conduction heating.
The antennas were both driven at either 915 MHz or 2450 MHz using a continuous wave microwave power source (Model CA 2450, manufactured by Cheung Laboratory, Inc., Lanham-Seabrook, Md. Power fed to each antenna was tuned with a double stub tuner (Model 1729, Maury Microwave, Cucamonga, Calif.) for optimum impedance match to the generator, since no attempt was made to trim each antenna to exactly 50 ohms. Since the phantom material had no cooling effect from circulating blood, all experiments consisted of short 30 sec. heat trials during which the rate of change of temperature was determined at all internally monitored points to represent the power deposition characteristics of the antennas.
The thermal profile information was obtained using a multiple-sensor optical fiber probe with four sensors spaced 0.25 cm apart with each inserted in a catheter parallel to and 0.5 cm away from the antenna axis. Using a separate stationary single sensor probe located mid-depth in a second parallel catheter as control between trials, longer axial heating profiles were measured by moving the multi-sensor probe 1 cm and repeating the heat trial after cool-down of the phantom to initial conditions.
All temperatures were recorded every 10 seconds by a computerized fiber optic thermometry system and displayed in tabular and graphic forms on a color monitor. The increase in temperature above baseline [ΔT was calculated for each point and the measure of power deposition (Specific Absorption Rate or SAR) was determined from the time rate of change of temperature following power on as SAR=c�dΔT/dt, wherein c=specific heat of phantom tissue].
The axial thermal power deposition profile of each antenna was determined independently at four different sites within the phantom box for each experiment. The antennas were tested in more than one phantom to minimize erroneous conclusions that might arise from slight catheter placement variations at depth in the phantom or other systematic test errors. Axial profiles from corresponding trials were averaged together by first selecting the maximum SAR of each linear distribution as 100% SAR and normalizing the profile to a percentage of the peak (Relative SAR).
FIGS. 2 and 4 compare the effects of varying insertion depth on the axial power deposition profiles of antennas 10 and 17. As noted in FIG. 4, the thermal profile of standard antenna 17 varied significantly, depending on insertion depth. With a 3.1 cm total insertion depth, the thermal profile was almost symmetrical with the peak located 1.5 cm below the surface and a 50% HL and Dead Length of 2.04 and 0.68 cm, respectively. With a shorter insertion of 1.35 cm (gap 21 depth of 0.25 cm), the 50% HL and Dead Lengths were both drastically reduced to 1.21 cm and 0.17 cm, respectively, but the antenna entrance point was overheated with 78% of the peak SAR obtained near the surface.
In contrast, the power deposition profiles induced by antenna 10 were essentially identical regardless of insertion depth. The heat peak moved correspondingly deeper with increasing insertion, remaining 0.5 cm proximal to the antenna tip midway along the axis of helical coil 14 (FIG. 1). The 50% HL for 1.35, 2.1, and 3.1 cm insertion depths was a constant 1.2 cm and the Dead Length remained essentially 0.0. Studies on the reproducibility of profiles for antennas 10 and 17 tested identically in five different phantoms disclosed no significant variation in the location of Peak Depth, 50% HL, or Dead Length.
Relative radial power deposition profiles perpendicular to the axes of antennas 10 and 17 were also obtained and compared with the radial temperature fall-off from a heated water circuit of similar dimensions. The corresponding comparative radial temperature distributions for L=3.5 cm antennas 10 and 17 driven at 915 MHz in dog thigh muscle tissue in vivo are shown in FIG. 5. FIG. 6 gives the absolute temperature distributions in dog thigh muscle along the axial length of antenna 10 (at R=0.5 cm distance) for three different clinically relevant antenna insertion depths. Note the very similar 50% HL's and slopes of the individual temperature distributions for the three different implant conditions.

Getting firsthand information from an actual car owner is one sure way to get an idea of car performance once it leaves the lot. Autobytel features real consumer reviews that give the unbiased experience of a car.
One of the best vehicles
Pros: there are several
Cons: the way it ridesThe vehicle has been garage kept. It has given me excellent service at very little cost.
Best midsize for the money!
Pros: keyless
Cons: Rear leg room. 2003 had more!Had a 2003 Altima which was great! Wanted the gadgets on the 2007 (keyless, CVT). Car is extemely comfortable, handles beautifully and gets excellent mileage. Is definitely a good looker compared to much of the competition. Have 50k trouble free miles. I would buy another Altima. The 2.5 engine is more than sufficient. Love my Altima!!!
super buy feature for feature
Pros: cv transmission with manual shift feature
Cons: have to buy costly package to get fog lightsi shopped most comparable size and priced autos. fusion, accord, malibu, sonata,milan. to be sure i added nissan altima last. one drive and I was hooked and wife agreed. after two months and 2400 miles not a single problem. rides and drives like a much bigger auto. 34.1 mpg on long trip. 25-27 around town. three minor snits for me: no auto daytime driving lights[required in canada so i know it wouln't be a costly feature] , power retention when shutting down does not go to radio,only windows. to get fog lights must buy about$1000 package or $500 after market. nothing I can't live without but for such a fine vehicle it should happen.
Pros: Performance of 4 cylinder automatic has great acceleration.
Cons: Bumpy rideOur 2005 Altima 2.5S has over 90,000 miles on it and has been a very dependalble car with no problems except the usual maintenance like tires, battery and brakes. Ride is kind of choppy because of the low profile tires, but otherwise a great car. Not even any rust in an area that is known for rust problems. Smooth running car that we can count on.
Great car to drive
Pros: Gas milage
Cons: No option for passenger power seatI have the Hybrid and love the gas milage I get. I live in Orange County and can go roundtrip to San Diego on a quarter of a tank of gas.
Pros: Sound system
Cons: No tinted windowsI really like this car just want something bigger
Love everything except the engine noise
Pros: Stereo
Cons: Engine noiseGreat car and amenities! Nav, leather, heated seats, rear view camera, great gas mileage! But, the engine sounds like a sewing machine under 1600 rpms. Dealers have all said this is 'normal'..but never heard a 4 cyl engine like this in a Mazda 3 or Ford Fusion.

You only had ONE way to even play back then, Barb and Wiz were basically best for a whole year while others weren't playable. Legendaries had ZERO cool effects, Skorn and Echo were #1.
I don't think you really know what you are talking about atm..D3 Vanilla was good for ONE thing.
Trading..and 6 stat gear that was always 100% RNG.
Barb wasn't even good at the start of D3. They only got good because mobs kept getting their damage nerfed as soon as a week after launch, with many more nerfs to follow. Skorn also wasn't buffed until WAY later.
D3 vanilla, in it's original form, was simply much more fun for many players. Obviously it was shit to a very large percentage of the playerbase as well, which is why it was changed. People quit the game pretty fast back then, but players still quite pretty fast after then. Not a single one of the players I played with back in the beginning of D3 vanilla came back for RoS asdie from my brother. So it seems the changes removed a large part of the playerbase, while keeping other parts of the playerbase instead.
Looking back on it, they should have gave Jay Wilson a separate 2.5D game based around Warcraft, Starcraft, or a new universe for those of us who wanted the challenge rather than a more relaxed hack&slash. Then Josh could have done D3 as a proper sequel to D2, instead of having Jay trying to make D3 appeal to so many obviously different playerbases.
Can't please everyone when they release a Diablo game, advertised heavily to WoW and SC2 players. It was advertised to be a challenge while expected to be a hack&slash sequel to D2. Doesn't really work that way.
Again Bullshit. The original Diablo 3 wasnt more fun. It was frustrating, imbalanced and unrewarding. It wasnt hard, it was unfair. When you had to a impossible rare spawn directly in front of an entrance, the run was over. No luck with items? GRIND IT MORE! It wasnt like Diablo 2 at all. Thats why alot of player that were used to Diablo 2 left Diablo 3 really fast.
I played enough after release and had probably 2-4 Month without any progress. The moment they introduced real Legendarys the game began to be fun. There was actually progress.
You guys are just nostalgia sick. Its a really common problem. EVERYTHING in the past is always better. Stupid people suffer "Nostalgia" alot.

What's that? Free Radical does shooters? Darn.
I really enjoyed the game up until the meat circus level. Then there are 2 sequences where you basically have to play perfectly for a period of about 5 minutes or start the sequence over from scratch. I'm talking about "Help the kid catch the bunny" and "Prove to your dad you are an acrobat".
I agree wholeheartedly with that. For an otherwise very easy game, that part was insanely difficult. Especially the part where you have to jump from one wire mesh wall to another while avoiding the flames and the risin
Exactly. That might have been the single most difficult move in the game. The other insane part is getting the sword throwers to place a sword at just the right place so you can ride it up the rotating backdrop and make a huge jump right to a platform.. Geez!Especially the part where you have to jump from one wire mesh wall to another while avoiding the flames and the rising water.
The trouble with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it was.

Carolyn Everson talks Facebook marketing.
Global brands that customize their Facebook campaigns country-by-country instead of using the same creative everywhere are reaping rewards for their efforts, Carolyn Everson, VP of global marketing solutions for the social site, said earlier this week.
"They do perform better," she said. "The real trick is organizing globally but being locally relevant. And you want all of your Facebook creative to be optimized to get the best reaction. And that takes local input."
Everson briefly chatted with ClickZ News on Wednesday evening after her appearance on a "Borderless Brands" panel presented by Social Media Week and JWT at the ad agency's midtown Manhattan headquarters. The Facebook exec said global companies have made somewhat varied levels of commitment to preparing their campaigns with local customs and language in mind. Sometimes, she said, the specific situation at hand or bigger picture has dictated how brands go about creating Facebook Ads and Pages campaigns.
"I think for the big brands that have marquee sponsorships like the World Cup or the Olympics you are going to see more similar creative," Everson explained. "But usually, it is customized to the local environment, optimized for the experience."
Peter Nicholson, chief creative officer at JWT, spoke with ClickZ about whether or not clients were willing to customize social media campaigns on a global scale.
"The clients who buy into it are the ones who already have a similar [philosophy] in place," he said. "They want to do it. They believe they are strong regionally and want to maintain that. The challenge is going into new and up-and-coming areas that they really want to be targeted but don't have much share and don't have much customization in existence… That's where I say, 'You've got to do that. If you cookie cutter something into that space, it's going to get rejected.'"
While Nicholson said social media campaigns have the best chance to take off in the U.S., he offered interesting commentary on where else they do well. "India is really successful," he said. "Africa is really successful. Anywhere that doesn't have a real tight communication infrastructure and hasn't been dominated by old media."
He continued, "If you think about what's going on in these countries, they weren't part of the TV generation, they were not a part of the past. What they know is mobile communication, and social media is kind of what they have experienced the most. It's actually stronger in some of those regions as a way to talk to them - even compared to more common places like in Europe. Europe can be one of the most difficult places to get anything in social media to take off in the business space."

Attorney: Suspended Washington QB Cyler Miles won't be charged
Washington quarterback Cyler Miles will not be charged in connection with an incident that occurred after the Super Bowl in Seattle, Miles' attorney told the Associated Press.
Head coach Chris Petersen suspended Miles and wide receiver Damore'ea Stringfellow indefinitely for a violation of team rules in early February, but the school never confirmed their alleged connections with assaults that occurred during a celebration of the Seahawks' victory.
According to The Seattle Times, Stringfellow will be charged with three misdemeanors; two counts of misdemeanor assault in the fourth degree and one count of malicious mischief. The report also indicated that Miles would not be charged in the incident.
Washington resumed spring practice on Tuesday morning without Miles and Stringfellow, as both remain suspended officially. According to The Seattle Times, the charges against Stringfellow are "likely to be filed by Thursday."
Miles, the heir apparent to Keith Price as the Huskies' starting quarterback, appeared in eight games as a redshirt freshman last season and started at Oregon State. Against the Beavers, Miles completed 15-of-24 passes for 162 yards and one touchdown with no interceptions. Coming out of high school in Centennial, Colo., 247Sports ranked Miles as a four-star prospect and the No. 2 dual-threat quarterback in his class.
Redshirt sophomore Jeff Lindquist and redshirt freshman Troy Williams will be the only scholarship quarterbacks in spring practice as long as Miles is on the sideline.

I've been thinking about it for a while now, but I want input from the (APN) community.
These are my criteria so far:
It needs to have a theme that's accessible for everyone with a camera. I don't want to do themes link 'snow', since it isn't Winter everywhere, nor is there even snow in some countries where it's supposed to be Winter.
Not too general
I don't want to have a theme that just says 'Nature', since that's just too.. big. I also don't want to exclude anyone by narrowing it down too much.
World of Water
I was thinking along the lines of 'World of Water' or 'Water World Photography' and divide it into two separate categories, being Close up and Waterscapes. Close up possibly being macro droplets, waterscapes being.. waterscapes. It can be long exposures, waterfalls, anything. I think eve

Want to kill yourself?
Imagine this:
You come home from school one day. You've had yet another horrible day. You're just ready to give up. So you go to your room, close the door, and take out that suicide note you've written and rewritten over and over and over. You take out those razor blades, and cut for the very last time. You grab that bottle of pills and take them all. Laying down; holding the letter to your chest, you close your eyes for the very last time.
A few hours later, your little brother knocks on your door to come tell "Your dinner's ready!"
You don't answer, so he walks in. All he sees is you laying on your bed, so he thinks you're asleep. He tells your mom this. Your mom goes to your room to wake you up. She notices something is odd.

The friendship © :iconfredvegerano:The friendship3 years ago in Personal More Like This
The friendship is a love that never dies.
The friendship is a virtue that many people know it exists,
find some, but few recognize.
The friendship is sincere when forgetting is impossible
The trustsuch as art not derives from having an answer for everything, but that we are open to all questions.
The pain feeds the courage. You can not be brave if you just happened
wonderful things with you.
The hope is a loan request to happiness.
The happiness is not a award, but rather a consequence,
loneliness is not a punishment but rather a result.
The happiness is not the end of the journey, but at every turn that
traveled to meet her.
The people always stumble on small stones, because the big us immediately see.
The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the delight of the company. It is the spiritual inspiration that comes when you discover that s
Novel vs. Comic BookHello there, guys!Novel vs. Comic Book3 years ago in Personal More Like This
If you are following my art, you know, that I'm also a writer. But the truth is that I'm a Russian writer, so there are just my paintings and drawings that can be understood internationally.
But I desire to share my world with all of you, so I'm translating my novel into English now. Unfortunately it's taking a lot of time, as I have not to just translate the words, but to adapt the story for the language as well. Moreover, English is my second language, so I fear to make mistakes.
So I came up with an idea to draw a comic book instead. To convert the whole story into a comic, so that all of you can get it. But this is a big move So, I'm seeking for your opinion, guys.
What would you like my story to be? A novel or a comic book?

Astrophotography- Some Of Your Questions AnsweredI have got to a point on this site that I am literally being inundated with questions about how I do some of my photos. I simply do not have time to answer them all in full individually anymore. It is seriously restricting the free time that I have to pursue this hobby and take those pictures that have become so popular (both on here and elsewhere). So for my well being and hopefully to the benefit of those who ask me so many questions, I am doing this write up.Astrophotography- Some Of Your Questions Answered3 years ago in Personal More Like This
Before I get into some questions though, I want to make a few things clear. I have spent a lot of time and money on trying to learn as much as I can to better myself with this style of photography. I love all forms of astrophotography and I really think I have found my niche. I hope to one day soon start making back a bit of that money I have spent. So I am not going to just reveal everything I have worked so hard to learn. What I am going t
Into a land in war...Into a land in war, there was a king who caused astonishment.Into a land in war...3 years ago in Personal More Like This
Each time that prisoners made not kill them, took them to a roomthat had a group of archers in one corner and a huge iron door on the other, which had recorded figures of skulls.
In this room he made staying in the circle, and then said:
- You can choose to die by my archers shot with arrows, or pass through that door and be locked there for me.
All who passed by, chose to be killed by archers.
At the end of the war, a soldier who long served the king, said:
- Sir, can I ask you a question?
- Tell soldier.
- What was behind the scary door?
- Go and see.
The soldier then open slowly, and perceives that as he does, sunrays will entering and clearing the environment, until fully open, note that the door led to a path that would go toward freedom. The soldier looks just admired his king says:
- I gave them the choice, but preferred to risk dying to open this door.
How many doors fail to open for fear of risking? How often lose

Ordinary miraclesSong by Sarah Mclachlan-from the motion picture "Charlotte's Web"Ordinary miracles10 months ago in Personal More Like This
May your day be beautiful and throw the pain and sorrow behind your back!:Iconhug1plz:

"It's not that unusual
When everything is beautiful
It's just another ordinary miracle today
The sky knows when it's time to snow
Don't need to teach a seed to grow
It's just another ordinary miracle today
Life is like a gift they say
Wrapped up for you everyday
Open up and find a way
To give some of your own
Isn't it remarkable
Like every time a raindrop falls
It's just another ordinary miracle today
Birds in winter have their fling
Will always make it home by spring
It's just another ordinary miracle today
When you wake up everyday
Please don't throw your dreams away
Hold them close to your heart
'Cause we're all a part of the ordinary miracle
Ordinary miracle
Do you want to see a miracle?
It seems so exceptional
The things just work out after all
It's just another ordinary miracle today
I will never give up!"I will never give upI will never give up!4 years ago in Personal More Like This
No matter what the odds are
No matter what people say
No matter how far
I will never give up
If I throw it away time after time
If I am one step behind try after try
If I miss dime after dime
I will never give up
Even when it seems all over
Even when no one else believes
Even when it seems I can go no further
I will never give up
There is so much I can still do
There is too much talent to waste
There is so much in me that I want you to see
I will never give up
If I do, I will not be the best me that could live
If I do, I will never know what I am capable of
If I do, I am not giving the world all I can give
I will never give up "

Commissions informationsHi everyone !Commissions informations3 years ago in Personal More Like This
I received a lot of notes recently about my serie of commissions " Sketchs & Couples". I decided to make a global answer on my journal !^^
For the moment , my commissions are closed. You can see the commission status and the wating lists in a special widget under the journal box. I always finish the present list before opening a new session. That's why I can say that you must wait 2013 for another commissions session.
I 'll make an announce on my jounal to give you the date of begining a few days before the starting of the operation in order to prepare yourself. So, keep an eye on my journal !^^
The day of oppenning I'll give you all the informations (price, rules, etc;.) in the journal. For exemple : a sketch page of five sketches about one couple is 50 (if you want price in dollars, you can find a money convertor on the net).
I hope it's more clear for all of you !^^
Thank you for your interest and your great support !
