12 Sales Page Secrets Only The Conversion Experts Used... Until Now
Sales pages are the places on your website designed to do one thing and one thing only: sell your product.
They're entire pages in and of themselves... independent of your home page, your about page, and your blog posts.
And each sales page focuses on only one product or service.
And they work pretty well, too.
According to Hubspot, they have a 5% to 15% average conversion rate.
It might seem like small numbers, but compared to your home page or your blog posts, it's pretty much your best shot at getting buy-ins, isn't it?
Sales pages are designed for the purpose of conversion, and with the age-old wisdom of David Ogilvy that only 20% of people read past the headline—no matter what you do—suddenly 5% to 15% of your traffic converting on a landing page is a helluva lot.
But to be more on the 15% side than the 5% side, you can't just slap your sales page up in 10 minutes and let it run wild.
You've got to actually pay attention to what you're doing and optimize your elements to lead more people to your call to action areas so they pay you money.
Loads of expert conversion marketers have studied the effects of different sales page elements and how they affect overall conversions via A/B testing—and fortunately for those of us who'd like to get the ball rolling without weighing ourselves down with the burden of testing for ourselves, they're ready and willing to share their knowledge.
What You'll Learn
- What some of today's most famous internet marketing superstars have to say about essential sales page elements
- WHY certain elements are so important to increasing sales
- One element that will instantly give you more success with up-sells in the future
- How to evoke and elicit an emotional, money-making response from your visitors
1. Social Proof to Show You're Not a Scammer
Before someone whips out their credit card, or even has enough confidence that you won't spam their inboxes if they give you their email ID, they've got to be comfortable with you and your product.
Seeing that real people, just like them, have bought into whatever you're offering both without getting totally annoyed and with success in whatever they're seeking a solution to will put them at ease.
Social proof includes, but is not limited to:
- Testimonials
- 5-Star rating system reviews
- Social media numbers
- Case studies
- Embedded social media posts or conversations
- Current or previous client logos
"Not everyone is comfortable with making purchases on the web. Sure, Apple and Amazon don't have these issues, but you aren't them. Your brand isn't as well known, which is why trust elements are important."
-Neil Patel, Quicksprout
2. Little to No Navigation to Keep People ON Your Sales Page, Doing What You Want
The idea of removing or limiting any kind of excess navigation that isn't 100% essential to the purpose of conversion is to keep wandering eyes from getting distracted.
If a visitor has wandering eyes, distract them with elements that will ultimately serve the goal of the page: making the sale.
Here's some examples of extraneous navigation:
- Menu bar links to other pages
- Sidebar widgets with ads or on-site links that take away from the full impact of your sales page
- Action bars at the top or bottom of your screen that don't correlate with the text someone is reading at any given moment
Of course, a sales page with no navigation to go off the page will yield better conversions because the option is to either convert or close the window. But if you just can't quite let go of letting people explore your website to know more, here's a few permissible pieces of navigation, preferably located only on the very top of the page:
- About (to help build your credibility)
- Contact (to put people at ease - you're there if they need you)
- Links to other, similar products in case this one isn't a perfect fit
"A landing page is used for one purpose and one purpose alone – to encourage a visitor to take one specific action. When visitors land on a page, we want to keep them there until they perform that action. Leaving the navigation might induce them to continue wandering. Remove main site navigation from the page so they don't move off your landing page."
-Jessica Meher, Hubspot
3. ONE Clear Offer to Get Rid of Confusion
If you haven't read loads of sales pages that offer at least three things: a free trial, a free quote or consultation, and a downloadable ebook, you just don't use the internet.
It's understandable that niche site owners are willing to do whatever it takes to get someone's money and/or email ID, but confusing them with millions of options actually and reduces the number of conversions, no matter what's being offered.
Yes, even if you offer all three wonderful things instead of just one.
I get it, you want your visitors to convert.
Me too.
But the reality is that throwing a lot of offers in their face will actually confuse them more than if you simply offer and promote one thing, focus on it's benefits, and nothing else. When you focus on the benefits of three different things, browsing minds get confused.
"A single clear offer makes the entire process much smoother... If a consumer clicks on your ad and then hits your landing page that has two offers it can cause a major hiccup in the conversion process."
-Jonathan Long, Entrepreneur
4. A Context-of-Use Hero Image (So Readers Start Imagining Themselves With Your Product Right Away)
A "hero image" is a web design term that describes the huge pictures (or illustrations) you often see in the top sections of websites. They almost always fill up the entire screen and usually have some kind of text over them.
It's a trend that's emerged in website templates recently, and a lot of niche sites are seeing success with it.
After all, a picture is worth 1,000 words, right?
With a context of use hero image, you'll be able to establish both trust and interest in your sales page.
Actually seeing a use-case scenario for your product causes empathy with your visitors, letting them envision themselves in the exact same situation.
If you want to go above and beyond, Oli Gardner from Unbounce suggests that a video instead of a hero image can help you do it.
"Think of the common Shamwow and Slapchop infocommercials," he says. "While cheesy, they impart a sense of need by illustrating direct benefits to everyday life."
"The hero shot is the visual representation of your offer and can help people to gain a better understanding of what it is or what it looks like. For maximum effect it should show context of use."
-Oli Gardner, Unbounce
5. An Info-Capturing CTA Form - Sell One Product Today, Sell More Products Tomorrow
This might seem a little obvious, but it's so easily overlooked... way more often than any conversion marketer or sales person would like to admit.
The simple fact is, if you can't collect names and email IDs, you can't build an email list or have a list of prospects to sell your your next product or ebook to.
And having the names and email IDs of people who have already bought from you and love you makes sales a billion times faster and easier than trying to find all of your new customers from scratch again.
To make the most of your info-capturing CTA form, simply make it a part of your check-out process. This is really easy if you're delivering a digital product and need their email address to do that, but even if you're selling a physical product that gets shipped to their home, you can easily add a mandatory email field to the checkout process.
If they've already made up their minds to give you their heard-earned money, their email address is nothing in comparison. Plus, you have a ready-made list of happy customers who would be happy to buy from you the next time you launch a new product or service.
"This form is one of the most important things on your landing page. It is a means of information capture, and will help your conversions significantly. Make sure it's in an obvious and prominent place on your site."
-Jon Correll, Conversion VooDoo
6. A Sneak Peek Gets Rid of Most Doubts
The sad truth is, there's a lot of scammers online, and whether you deserve it or not, your visitors are suspicious of you.
You might be promising them a wonderful book in exchange for $9.99 and their email address, but it's impossible for them to know if you're going to go out and sell their email address, or if the book is going to be total crap and a waste of $10.
Kimberly of Your Writer Platform advises that you can give a sneak peek into the product you're offering either directly on your sales page, or via an email subscription.
Giving someone a sneak peek into something you're trying to convince them to buy helps subside their worry that you might be totally ripping them off by getting a taste of the actual, actionable value you'll be providing them.
A sneak peek can include:
- A free chapter download
- A list of key takeaways
- A book preview similar to what Amazon does
- A free sample of a physical product sent in the mail
"Everyone enjoys a free taste-test. Readers enjoy a free preview too. Smart authors capitalize on this shopping habit by offering some kind of sneak peak into their books."
-Kimberly Garbas, Your Writer Platform
7. Pain, Agony & Suffering: Show Them What They're Missing
Essentially, the pain points of your audience are tightly connected with their wallets... especially when those pain points are attached to money that's slipping through their fingers and they've got no idea what to do about it.
They'll melt in your hands if you tell them you can stop that problem from happening.
If you can get your prospects to notice the potential money, customers, time, energy, confidence or peace of mind that's simply being robbed of them because they don't know how to stop it from leaving, you'll have their attention.
These are things they desperately want (or need), and not having them is probably the reason they've come to your website. Don't be afraid to point it out and take advantage of it.
If you play on the deep, psychological desire to avoid pain or loss and can balance out how the price (whether simply an email address or $99.95) is easily worth not dealing with that pain point any more, your visitors will melt in your hands.
"We all love a bit of drama. If you can create a super-fast emotional rollercoaster on that page you are more than likely to reap the rewards by getting that form filled out."
-Viktor Kis, Hello Spark
He's NOT talking about a cheesy soap opera where the emotions are clearly over-stated and faked.
What he means is showing people the true depths of the pain points they experience by not reading your ebook or using the product you're selling... and equally helping them feel that a sense of utter relief is on the other side of their conversion.
"Humans are wired to avoid pain. Every product or service can help to alleviate pain in some way. If you can cause the user to think about their pain, they will subconsciously seek relief from that pain, and thereby be more likely to convert."
-Neil Patel, Crazy Egg
8. One Hell of An Effective Headline to Glue Their Eyeballs to The Page
Once someone gets to your sales page, you don't need to fight for their attention against their sister's baby photos on Facebook or scammy Google ads that only yield crappy content in return for clicking on them.
You've already won the first battle.
The next is to capture their attention like the opening scenes of Disney films capture a five-year-old girl's attention. (Wide-eyed, open-mouth, can't wait for more.)
The big 'secret' is, you don't need super-fancy writing skills and sophisticated words to get them to stay.
Plain language does the trick. Every single time.
For example, in the photo above, I don't see any fancy or 'smart' words in "Become a Six-Figure Freelance Copywriter and Enjoy the Writer's Life." Every thing about it can easily be understood by even a below-average Joe.
And along with that plain language, go ahead and tell them what they want, right up front. Don't hide it halfway down your page.
If you've got a big bold, promise to make, make it immediately - especially if you know it's what your audience is after anyway.
"You aren't fighting for attention. You've already done something to funnel your visitors there. Now you just need to convince them to pull up their chairs and stay awhile."
-Beth Morgan, KISSMetrics
9. Speaking of Headlines... A Really Persuasive Sub-Headline
Think of your headline as the "Free food!" sign that attracts people to an event and the sub-headline as the delicious slices of fresh pizza that keep them around, eating and eating until they've got nothing better to do.
According to Demian Farnworth (Chief Content Writer of Copyblogger Media and therefore web writing genius), the easiest way to glue eyeballs to your page when you're new online and people aren't aware of your product offerings is to make a bold promise with your headline and use your sub-headline to describe how.
If your headline draws people in with wide eyes, the sub-headline is what makes that spark go off in their mind so they think to themselves "I NEED to know more about this."
He gives these examples of headlines and sub-headlines to illustrate what he's talking about:
Build Muscle Anywhere
This 15-Minute Routine Focuses on Every Muscle in Your Body
Defeat Credit Card Debt
With Only a Calendar and Spreadsheet
Read More Books
The World's First Speed-Reading App
"When your ideal customer is not aware of your product or the benefit it offers, then the first stage of sophistication demands you simply make a promise in the headline… and in the subheadline you would describe the mechanism."
-Demian Farnworth, Copyblogger
10. A Grabbing Call to Action Button So Tempting Readers Click Without Thinking Twice
The truth is, most readers will require some convincing.
True, some are so fed up with their problem that they're willing to whip out a credit card for the first product they find that promises to solve it.
Others might have been fans of your site and your content for a while and already know they want your product... whatever it is you're selling.
But most you're going to have to convince.
And with fancy headlines and well-written website copy set aside, the conversion ultimately comes down to one thing: clicking a button.
If your button has text that indicates it requires work from your reader like "Start the assessment", "Submit", "Buy now", and so on, you're not going to get as many conversions as you deserve.
Instead, focus on the benefits they will receive from you after they click that button. Button text like "Show me outfits I'll love", "Send me my review", or "Get your perfect makeup kit" work much better.
Practicing what she preaches, Joanna took the very first call to action button on a sales page and changed it from the simple, typical "Sign up now" to "Show me outfits I'll love" and the conversion rates skyrocketed.
The company saw 123.9% more clicks from their traffic, and 100% more confidence, resulting in a lot more business.
"I do a lot of A/B testing. And I've gotta say: I've seen some shit lately that is shaking the way I think about everything we write... [to] compel us to stop treating the button like some sort of shrunken, impotent and second-rate little square on a page."
-Joanna Wiebe, CopyHackers
11. A Pin-Pointed Audience Focus to Make Your Readers Feel Special
People don't like to be generalized.
And at the same time, whether you like it or not, not every single person on the face of the planet is going to come to or be interested in your website.
So stop trying to be everything to everyone with your website copy and get a little personal.
For example, the website above speaks directly to me (a freelancer) about exactly what I want to do (make more money with my words.)
The result?
By the end of the page, I was ready and willing to shell out the $299 price tag for the course this sales page was created for. And I did.
"I'm noticing a trend with SaaS websites that I love and want to see more of. People are creating landing pages for new feature releases, target audiences and also different ways to describe their product. It's a great tactic for getting incremental sign ups... It's also good for SEO and paid acquisition."
-Hiten Shah, SaaS Weekly
12. B-E-N-E-F-I-T-S > Features, Every Single Time
When you bring up pain points, you should almost immediately attach benefits of your product that alleviate those pain points, rather than features that readers have to take the mental power to deduct the benefits from.
Benefits, rather than features, are far more effective at explaining how your product eliminates pain points for a reader.
For example, in the Landing Page Conversion Course, the authors give the example of a phone, using the battery as a highlight for why they think people will want to buy the phone.
Rather than writing "Our new battery is twice as powerful as the competition's," which is feature-based, they suggest writing something more along the lines of "Our new battery means you'll only need to charge your phone every couple of days."
One focuses on trying to prove yourself against your competition (which doesn't actually result in much), and the other focuses on how you're completely eliminating something that's a pain in the butt for your readers.
"The important point to remember here is that you need to communicate the benefit of your offering first. Then, and only then, do you start to add features – which are typically directed towards those who require more detail in order to make a decision."
-The Smart Marketer's Landing Page Conversion Course
-Michael Aagaard, Oli Gardner, Joanna Wiebe
Putting Together Your Own Sales Page Puzzle
I've just thrown a lot of puzzle pieces at you.. 12 to be exact.
And I didn't even talk about the landing page copy or layout.
But fortunately, when you start putting your sales page together while thinking about your audience and why they need your product, things will start to make a lot more sense and you'll be able to feel the intuitive flow of it all.
If you've already got a sales page that you love, but are missing an element (like testimonials, for example), try adding it into your page to see if it improves your conversions.

Renova Design Commit To Expansion Of Their Website Business
Renova opt for a better customer experience rather than pandering to SEO conventions.
Renova's commitment to web based marketing has been further strengthened with the news that same sex couples will also be allowed to marry as from March 2014; Not only great news for the couples in question, but good news for all the wedding services providers around the country.
The Renova Design management team recognise the importance of presenting customers with a shopping experience that is clear, informative, and pleasant , as well as providing the perfect product at the right price. With this objective in mind a complete re-design of their website was commissioned in December of last year. The brief simple and clear "make our web site reflect the best practices in presentation as seen in the leading high street retailers"
The first objective was to create a very clear uncluttered and modern look, allowing the customer to easily view our new season range; each range to then be accessible for drilldown to view individual details and style choice.
Given the nature of our business, that of wedding invitations and stationery, the customer will have a great deal of personal information needing to be communicated to the print layout team; it was therefore an essential part of the brief that pre-formatted forms be accessible at logical points during the order process.
A serious problems the team was to encounter, was that of SEO. One of the requirements to be successful in Google searches is to have substantial text content, containing as many search phrases as possible on each page of the website. This basic requirement was at odds with the philosophy of Renova's simple, clear and uncluttered approach. After many days of deliberation it was decided to stay with the ethos of providing customers with a clear and straight forward experience and forgo the search phrase blurb deemed necessary for web success.
Renova Design believe wholeheartedly in bringing style and minimalism to the web and respectfully urge search engines to recognise the benefits of this philosophy to their users.

Encyclopedia of Ancient Deities by Charles Russell Coulter
Book DescriptionThe history of the divine is the history of human thought. For as long as men and women have pondered the mysteries of their existence, they have answered their own questions with stories of gods and goddesses. Belief in these deities shaped whole civilizations, yet today many of their names and images lie buried. The Encyclopedia of Ancient Deities makes those names available to the general reader as well as the scholar. This reference work lists all the known gods through recorded history. Alphabetically arranged entries provide the name of each deity (with alternate spellings), as well as notes on names that may be linguistically or functionally related. The tribe or culture that worshiped the deity is identified, and the god's origins and functions are explained. An extensive bibliography provides opportunities for further research and an exhaustive index provides access to the entries through virtually all names, forms and kinds of deities.

text: The CO- Its my train set! I know it will work as those below me will bust a gut to make it work. The 2ic- Its His train set till hes goes away, then its mine and I will change lots till the CO gets back, after all I will never get my own regiment. The adjutant - I dont care who's train set it is as long as the CO stays off my back and gives me a good Ojar. The RSM- Its his train set and IT WILL RUN SMOOTHLEY!!! PIck that litter up, Salute Officers in civillian cars, you will wear your beret indoors. The OC- This is my little train set and as long as the CO is happy then im happy regardless of how happy the troops are. The Sqn 2ic- I could be a young Capt or an Ex Ranker, in the first instance its my chance to make an impression in the second 22 yrs just wasnt enough( I want a longer sentence) The SSM- Young flyer or older more experienced, the first instance dont care couldnt give a flying f**k you will do as your told no matter how stupid the orders, the second, better man management, more respected by all has less discipline probs due to troops not requiring to let of steam at every opportunity. The Troop Comd- You cant tell me I know it all, they told me that at Sandhurst. This is where I find it hard to differentiate, the lower ranks fall into many categories, Any way this is my opinion, yes I am bitter, I knew what I was getting myself into 16 years ago but still I joined. What I think im trying to say is that no-one gives a toss about those below them they only care about themselves and what those above think about them. What happened to man management????????

I spent many years as a hiring manager and resume screener. I've also reviewed lots of resumes for coaching clients. And the thing that stands out to me more often than you might imagine is that job seekers — even the most potentially marketable ones –make basic resume mistakes that can really hurt their chances.
For example, I recently worked with a talented client who has state-of-the-art job skills, impressive achievements, and a great personality. But his resume looks like it doesn't want to be picked. "Please don't notice me," it says to the potential employer!
What message is your resume really sending an employer?
Are you thinking that your resume is way too chock full of good stuff to get ignored? Well, don't be so sure. There's more than one way that a seemingly good resume fails to get noticed. Yet many job seekers just can't see their own resume the way others do.
Some things a screener notices right away:
- How clean and professional does it look?
- Is it filled with typos or poor grammar?
- Have you made it easy for the screener to find the match?
Resumes present a picture of you. Are you focused? Are you aware of others, including the needs of the person reading your resume? Do you make an effort to clearly communicate? Do you understand the job? Do you know who you are as it relates to THIS job, not the past.
Believe it or not, a resume sends a message that helps someone make a judgment in about 6 – 8 seconds — and that's often how much time a resume gets before making it to the yes, maybe, or no pile!
How your resume might be losing you the interview
The resume from my talented client had everything glommed together, with almost no use of bolds or fonts / italics to help a screener's eye focus easily and differentiate important points. You don't want to overdo the use of these visual aids, but they can be a big help.
Many job seekers, including my client, have heard that human and automated screeners prefer one page. In some cases that's true, especially early on in your career. But if you sacrifice presentation quality just to squeeze it all in, you may be hurting yourself far more than helping.
My client's resume had a ton of great achievements, but it was lost to the human reader. Eyes can usually only take in so much at once without glossing over key info. And that's a big mistake you can't afford to make.
And even if an automated screening system loves your keywords (skills and accomplishments that match the job description), and that gets you to an interview, a weak resume creates an impression in and of itself. And there's no reason to put yourself at a disadvantage to human eyeballs when it's so easy to create a resume that stands out.
Some tips for your resume
Even simple things like the use of space (to help the eye focus on each area / section) and visual aids like formatting, fonts, bold, and italics can make a huge difference. Essentially, how you present your information can shape the reader's opinion of you as a person and as a potential employee.
So how does the opinion take shape? Upon initial screening, the reader usually spends a few seconds at the top of page one (a key area), and then their eye travels down (often quickly looking for anything that pops out at them) and often stops at the bottom, where they may spend an extra second or two out to the total 6 – 8 seconds.
Then if they do go on to the next page, a few extra tasty tidbits can help cement a positive impression. But don't save the things that show a strong match for page two or beyond. Your resume's job is to impress them quickly, and then offer enough substantive achievements to match the job — and hopefully seal the deal.

If you're ready to call your doctor for an appointment about menstrual cramps, either you have menstrual cramps that remain unresolved after you've tried self-help remedies for 3 months or you have signs and symptoms that indicate you need to see the doctor sooner.

So, What Will Happen When You See Your Doctor for Menstrual Cramps?

Like many visits to the doctor, your visit for menstrual cramps begins with a check of your weight, height, blood pressure, and temperature. Next, the nurse will ask questions about your menstrual cycle and symptoms.

The first question you'll hear will be about the date of your last period (this is the first day you experienced any amount of bleeding).

If this is your first visit to this doctor, you'll need to tell the nurse when you had your Pap smear, or if you've never had one at all.

Be Prepared to Answer These Other Questions at Your Visit

Have you always experienced menstrual cramps? When did you first experience menstrual cramps?

When do you experience menstrual cramps? Do you have them before your period begins? If so, how many days before your period begins do your cramps begin?

Do menstrual cramps stop when you begin bleeding, or do they continue during your period? How many days into your period do menstrual cramps last? Do you experience menstrual cramps on any other days of your menstrual cycle?

How does it feel when you have menstrual cramps? Does the pain feel sharp? Is it a dull pain? Does your pain come and go, or is your pain constant? Has your pain changed or increased?

Are you sexually active? If so, do you use contraceptives? What type of contraceptives do you use?

The last time you had your period, was the flow normal or was it heavier or lighter than usual?

Do you bleed excessively during your period? Do you have periods that last longer than 5 days?

Does your menstrual flow contain blood clots? While having blood clots and tissue in your menstrual flow is usually normal, in some cases, your answer to this question can help your doctor determine the cause of your menstrual cramps.

Does your period arrive on a predictable schedule?

Do you use tampons during your period? Tampon safety has long been a subject of debate. Many women swear that they no longer experienced menstrual cramps once they stopped using tampons.

What have you tried to relieve your menstrual cramps? Did it provide any relief?

Is there anything that makes the pain worse?

Do you have any other symptoms? Even if you think your other symptoms are insignificant or unrelated to your menstrual cramps, be sure to tell your doctor about them.

You'll Receive a Physical Examination

The doctor will do a pelvic exam, including a Pap smear, if needed. The focus of your examination will be on your lower abdominal area and pelvic region. If you are sexually active, your doctor may take some cultures for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) including Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and primary syphilis.

Your doctor also might order other diagnostic tests, including a sonogram of your pelvic region (an ultrasound) and blood tests that include a complete blood count (CBC).

This may all seem like a lot. But your answers to the questions about your medical history and current symptoms, as well as the results of your physical examination and any additional testing, will help you get an accurate diagnosis. If you've kept a menstrual cycle journal, many of your answers to these questions will be readily available to you.

Medical treatment for menstrual cramps can begin once your doctor is able to identify the cause of your painful periods.

Adele Wins Big at 2012 BRIT Awards, Flips the Bird on Stage
Fresh off her big win at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards, Adele continued to add more statuettes to her collection by winning big at this year's BRIT Awards. The "Rumour Has It" singer swept clean her nominations by grabbing a total of two coveted prizes.
Adele won Best British Female, beating Florence and the Machine, Jessie J, Kate Bush and Laura Marling. "It's been an amazing year," she gushed after receiving the award from Kylie Minogue. "I feel like a drag queen next to you," she jokingly told the presenter who stood tall towering her. She thanked her record label "for letting me be the kind of artist I want to be."
Her second win of the evening was Best British Album. Taking home the kudo through her groundbreaking album "21", she once again bested Florence in addition to pushing aside Coldplay, Ed Sheeran and PJ Harvey.
"Thank you very, very much. Nothing makes me prouder than coming home with six Grammys and then coming to the Brits and winning album of the year. I'm so proud to be British and to be flying the flag and to be in the same room as all of you," a breathless Adele excitedly said.
Adele, who seemed to have more to say, was approached by host James Corden and asked to cut short her speech. He said, "I'm so so sorry, I can't believe I'm going to do this," to which she replied, "Can I just say, then, goodbye and I'll see you next time round?" Before exiting the stage, she raised her middle finger to the camera.
Another winner, Rihanna, took the stage to collect the coveted Best International Female. She won over Beyonce Knowles, Bjork, Feist and Lady GaGa. The singer, who recently drew controversy for collaborating with her ex Chris Brown, said, "[Thanks to] all my fans who continue to support me no matter what."
Also graciously taking home an award was Lana Del Rey. The Internet sensation, who received a lot of backlash lately for her shaky performance on "Saturday Night Live", was named International Breakthrough Act at the event. She beat Aloe Blacc, Bon Iver, Foster the People and Nicki Minaj. "This award means much more to me than you know," she said.
Other winners included Coldplay (Best British Group), One Direction (Best British Single), Foo Fighters (Best International Group), and Bruno Mars (Best International Male). Outstanding Achievement Award went to Blur, and Critics' Choice Award was handed to Emeli Sande.

On Oct. 31 Politico reported that two women had filed sexual harassment claims against Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain while he was head of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s. In the weeks that followed, more women came forward, and two went public with their accusations. Most recently, Atlanta businesswoman Ginger White spoke out alleging she and Cain had an extramarital affair for 13 years.
Cain has repeatedly denied the allegations. But the candidate has also come under fire for referring to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) as "Princess Nancy" during a Republican presidential debate.
Here's a look at the women who have come forward with accusations against Cain:

Turkey announced the expulsion of Israel's ambassador yesterday and the freezing of military relations in response to the Netanyahu government's refusal to apologise for the lethal raid it authorised on a Gaza-bound flotilla 15 months ago.
The move, which threatened the most serious downgrading of official relations between the two countries for 30 years, came before the formal publication of a UN report on the raid which killed nine Turks aboard the flotilla's lead ship, the Mavi Marmara.
The report, from a team headed by former New Zealand premier Sir Geoffrey Palmer, criticises Israel's use of firepower during the raid as "excessive and unreasonable" but says the naval blockade it was enforcing was legal and justified – a conclusion Turkey disputes.
Ahmet Davutoglu, Turkey's Foreign minister, told reporters that the Israeli ambassador and other diplomats would be gone by Wednesday. He said military agreements between the two countries would be suspended and that other possible sanctions could include naval restrictions on Israel in the eastern Mediterranean and Turkish state backing for court actions against Israel by the families of victims of the raid.
The Foreign minister added: "The time has come for Israel to pay for its stance that sees it above international laws and disregards human conscience. The first and foremost result is that Israel is going to be devoid of Turkey's friendship."
While Turkey has insisted a full apology is a condition of restoring relations, Israel is arguing that the report seeks only reparations and an expression of "regret" for the deaths of the Mavi Marmara passengers – recommendations the Netanyahu government has indicated it would be prepared to meet.
Asked why the report did not demand the apology Turkey has consistently sought, the country's president, Abdullah Gul, said: "To be frank, the report is null and void for us." Mr Davutoglu indicated Turkey would be seeking a re-examination of the blockade's legality by the UN and the International Court of Justice.
The US, which is concerned about the consequences of a breakdown in relations, has reportedly pressed Israel to apologise. But Israel last night repeated that it would not do so. Although there was no ministerial comment on the Turkish move, a senior diplomatic official said: "As advised in the report, Israel once again expresses its regret over the loss of life, but will not apologise for its soldiers taking action to defend their lives. Like any other state, Israel has the right to defend its civilians and soldiers."
The official described the Palmer Report as "professional, serious and comprehensive". He insisted that Israel "cherishes the significant ties... between the Turkish and Jewish peoples". That was why, he added, Israel had made "numerous attempts" to settle the dispute.
Alon Liel, a former diplomat and an advocate of good Israeli-Turkish relations, said the current freeze could jeopardise more than $2bn a year in mutual trade. He added that military ties had already loosened since the election of Recep Tayyip Erdogan's AKP government, but that the move could put a question mark over Israel's export of drones to the Turkish military.
The report says participants in the flotilla "acted recklessly in attempting to breach the naval blockade," which was militarily justified because of the risk of weapons being imported to Gaza. It notes the danger the Israeli soldiers faced but adds that no satisfactory explanation has been provided for any of the deaths.

it's all dark and shadowy and stuff. can hardly see most of it
Assuming the sleeves are cropped, I think it's the combination of the scoop neck and cropped sleeves that makes it seem feminine. Everything else looks good though.
Pushups. Curls. Crunches. Doo it. Then you can eat even more cheeseburgers and chickins.
And, this is just my .02, but an SF-approved jugend or Jimmy Darmody hair cut plus smaller glasses would make you look meaner, and thus, better.
I don't think I quite understand this line.
Do you mean that it works for strong and relatively soft?
And with how I dress to my body type, I've always enjoyed a cropped aesthetic on myself; almost all of my trousers are as such.
I think it works fairly well with my short and frail build; which I've learned is just something I have naturally.
And I definitely plan on layering when it comes to these long U-Necks I have at the moment as they are fairly big on me.
I'll see how it turns out once a size smaller comes in, as it will be more of a shallow U-Neck and will be a bit more fitting than loose.
Even though I also like Ervell, his stuff in general was a tad too big for me; even in the smallest size.
When it comes to the button-downs, they're too long for my torso; and in general the arm length was always an issue.
@nahneun: You can't tell from the fit photograph, but my clavicles are VERY prominent. I'll hopefully be able to take a better quality photo of that fit sometime soon.
I think it looks pretty rad fishbones, better than ervell ever did on you. Are you just proxying those tees from the Lad webshop?
I like the bottom half and I can appreciate the sentiment that tee's don't have to be super fitted, but it just looks TOO baggy. Like a 12 year old kid trying on his dad's undershirt or something, your arms only fill up like half of the sleeve.

Elvis, Jesus and Me by Emer McCourt
Book DescriptionGer's story is told by her nine-year-old brother, Seany, an endearing and bitingly funny narrator. There are three idols pinned up on the wall above Ger's spot in the top bunk in their house on a council estate in Ballytownclough, Northern Ireland : there's Jesus, Elvis and Neil Armstrong. When all three fail to answer her prayers to become a boy, Ger takes it upon herself to perform her own mini miracle - with a strategically placed sausage. This is only one of her attempts to change her identity, aided somewhat unwillingly by Seany, there's also the time when they "kidnap" the altar boy...And even though larger, tougher forces - both in their family and in their country - impinge on Ger and Seany's plots, these bond between these two kids means they never quite lose their engaging sense of humour and grit.

An unforgettable tale of fate, betrayal, and the power of love and faith
Avala dreams of becoming a healer, but her dreams are not the same as her destiny. Hers is a mighty but lonely fate, for she is the chosen one—the one who will bring the Time of the Eagle, when the hunted will become the hunters and win back their freedom. It is a destiny that requires the spirit of a warrior and the heart of a healer. But does Avala have the courage to set the Eagle on its flight?
This epic companion to Secret Sacrament is full of intrigue, adventure, and fantasy, as one girl, born to greatness, must decide whether to follow her dreams or fulfill her destiny.
Editorial Reviews
Gr 9 Up
In this sequel to Secret Sacrament (HarperCollins, 2001), the time has arrived for the fulfillment of the prophecy foretelling that when the Time of the Eagle comes, the Shinali, Igaal, and Hena tribes will unite to overthrow the Navoran Empire, which is unbeaten in battle. Avala, the daughter of Gabriel, a Navoran, and Ashila, a Shinali, has come of age. She is destined to bring the prophecy to fruition, but when she is captured by an Igaal warrior and enslaved in his camp, the dream seems certain to die. This is an epic story of the growth of a girl into her destiny, and the choices between warrior and healer, Shinali and Navoran. Readers will find many Native American elements that blend seamlessly into the rich tapestry of this tale.

Read an Excerpt
Time of the Eagle
Chapter One
I was the first child born to a hunted people, in the first winter of their flight.
My earliest memory is of being carried on my mother's hip across barren plains, with wild mountains all around, and of rough tents made of skins stretched across sticks planted in the dust, of hunger and thirst and a feeling I did not like or understand, but which I know now was the fear that shadowed my people, as a wolf shadows a wounded deer. Always we were moving on, always looking behind us, always afraid to rest.
My people were called the Shinali, and by the time I was born there were only a few of us left, for we had fought many battles with many enemies and lost much. Early in my life I came to realize that the tribe held me high in their hearts, and I thought it was because my mother, Ashila, was the healer, with skills that meant the difference between life or death. But later my mother told me who my father was, and I knew why I was beloved. My father was Gabriel Eshban Vala, from the stone city of Navora, far to the south of our journey-lands.
Things were not good between my father's people and my mother's, for the all-conquering Navorans had stolen nearly all the Shinali lands and left us only one little plain. When my parents first met, my people still had that plain. Navorans were not allowed on our land, but my father came, for my mother invited him. He, too, was a healer, famous and honored among his own people; but when he chose to sit at the feasting-fires of the Shinali, it cost him dearly. His own people turned against him and against us. In the end they drove us off our last land, imprisonedus in a stone fort, and would have killed us all; but my father saved us and traded for our freedom with his life.
A hard freedom it was, for the Emperor in the stone city wanted us all dead. All my childhood life we wandered, staying only a little season in each place, afraid of the bands of soldiers we saw sometimes, far out in the desert or in the mountain passes, searching for us; again and again we moved, living the life of the hunted, until I was fifteen summers old. And then we found a valley, protected and hidden by a ring of mountains, and there seemed to be a shield of peace; and the awful fear that had hung across my people all the years suddenly lifted, and they knew a kind of contentment. For the first time in my life I stayed in one place for more than six full moons, and the river and mountains and hunting grounds and places of gathering became familiar and loved.
It was there, in that peaceful valley, that the day came for the celebration of my sixteenth summer. It was a day high in importance, for in our tribe when she is sixteen a girl becomes a woman, and the whole tribe rejoices and honors her and welcomes her as a new person. The sixteenth borning-day is always celebrated in summer, when food is plentiful, so there can be a big feast.
Because in our tribe women are the healers, my mother was teaching me her ways, and my work it was to gather herbs along the riverbanks and from the mountains. That afternoon of my sixteenth borning-day I went gathering, leaving the women and children to prepare gifts and special food for my celebration feast. Always I gathered alone, though I knew to be watchful, for battalions of soldiers still searched for us. And the Hena and Igaal peoples—age-long enemies to us—drove us off with arrows and spears when they found us sometimes on the edges of their lands. But I had not seen any enemies during my gathering-times, until that day.
That day I walked beside the great river we call the Ekiya. I went to the very end of the ravine, to the edge of the desert lands, the only growing place for the eysela flowers, from which we make medicines for the wiping out of disease. I had gathered almost half that were there, when I went back to the river for a drink, for the day was hot.
I drank quickly, glancing often across the baked grasslands to my right, for beyond them lay enemy lands, the country of the Igaal. I could see no sign of human life, and the peaceful hills seemed to dance in the haze of heat; yet a feeling of danger swept over me. It was an impulse familiar to my people, and we never ignored it. Quickly I bent to pick up the gathering-bag at my feet, and in that moment heard the throb of many hooves. Then I heard distant shouts. From the south they came, the riders hidden by the rocks guarding the entrance to the gorge. Snatching up my gathering-bag, I looked for a hiding place.
To my left soared the walls of the ravine, the river snaking between them. The nearest bend was far away, with no hiding place between. The hoofbeats were close. Clearly I heard the yells of men racing their horses to the water. Not far into the ravine was a wide rock higher than the others, flatter and sloping upward where it jutted out over a deep pool. I ran to it and, holding my breath, slid over the edge into the still water below.
Silent, icy green engulfed me. I swam under the overhanging rock into the deep shade and found myself in a shallow cave, chest deep in water, the rocky roof close to my head. Even then I was not much afraid, for I thought that they would ride on, following the river as it turned northward. Shivering with cold, I waited.Time of the Eagle. Copyright © by Sherryl Jordan.

Avala is a member of the dwindling race of the Shivali. Avala is special -- her mother, Ashila, is the tribe's healer and her father, Gabriel, was Navoran, a member of an enemy tribe who became a great ally in times of trouble. The Navoran still conquer lands, and the Shinali have become nomads, but there are still a few Navoran who honor Avala's father, and are willing to deal gently with Shinali. The true reason that Avala is held in high regard is due to a prophecy that points to her as the chosen one, the one who will finish what her father began and will bring about the Time of the Eagle.
Avala is unsure that she is capable of fulfilling such a high calling. What is she to do? And how? What if she fails? Part of her hopes that the prophecy was wrong, and meant for someone else. She doesn't want to lead an army, much less know how to do so. She wants to be a healer alongside her mother. But, she must venture out to find the future that awaits her and her people.
The path is unknown even to Avala. She will have to find her own way through the lands and peoples she encounters. Most importantly, she'll have to trust in herself, even in her most lost and confused moments. The fate of the Shinali depends upon her.
This is an amazing book! Completely engrossing, you are lost in Avala's world long after the story ends. Avala is very strong, but still frightened and unsure at times. The lands she travels to are both foreign and familiar. And the things she sees and learns!
This is an epic book in the sense that it covers a large expanse of time, and it does so incredibly well. You really feel and live and experience so much right along with her. It's also very interesting to me that this could be a time in the future, or one in the past.
There seems to be a wealth of story both before and after the time frame that this book covers. I truly hope I get to know more of this place and these people!
this book had all the necessary qualifications needed to make an AMAZING book - romance, and not the vulgar kind, action, magic, indians, and a happy ending. i hope a similar book is written. You did a wonderous job. THANKS!
A fantastic read i was literally crying when shila was kept as the prisoner of the Igaal tribe i'm a sucker for a good tear jerker
The Shinali survivors are on the run from the Navoran Empire who annexed their neighbors in a brutal campaign. The Navoran Emperor Jaganath orders his soldiers to finish the mission by exterminating the few remaining surviving Shinali. Those remaining Shinali flee through treacherous mountains and even the deadlier Desert seeking safety, but the enemy keeps hunting them. Shinali healer Ashila gives birth to the first child born since they took flight. Over the years, Avala remembers hunger and thirst, but vividly recalls her mother carrying her through hostile environs. --- When Ayala is old enough to understand Ashila tells her about her deceased father, Gabriel (see SECRET SACRAMENT) of Navoran, which provides some solace to the child, as times at best were tough. Avala dreamed of following her mother¿s footsteps by becoming a healer, but tribal seer Zalidas thinks otherwise. He believes Ayala will herald the TIME OF THE EAGLE that will prove the salvation of the Shinali, but the chosen one has doubts as she fears she lacks the courage of the warrior hunter as she is just a novice healer who detests hurting anything living. --- Although reading SECRET SACRAMENT will enhance this tale because it provides more detailed background that led to the predicament that the Shinali face, TIME OF THE EAGLE can stand alone as a terrific coming of age young adult fantasy. The story line is told predominantly from Ayala¿s perspective as she turns from frightened healer apprentice to even more frightened destiny¿s savior. She keeps the tale focused as she relates the events that must turn a hunted healer¿s heart into a hunting warrior with a healer¿s heart if the Shinali are to survive their ordeal. Fans of all ages will appreciate Sherryl Jordan¿s next generation sequel. --- Harriet Klausner
