The apartment looks just it does in the photo. You can't beat the location, just north of Dadeland with easy access to 826. Ample parking (one space in front plus guest parking). Andre was great to work with. Whenever we needed anything he was very responsive. We were there for over 60 days (remodeling at home) and it worked out great.

We stayed at Andre's Condo for one week. The Condo is spotlessly clean and is equipped with all you need for your stay. It is in a very nice area of Miami not far from a bus and Metro stop. In addition it is close to a large shopping Mall as well as a Grocery store. The Condo had a telephone as well as an internet connection. I would recommend this Condo highly to anyone looking for a very nice place to stay in Miami. Andre answers email immediately and is very helpful.

A diagnosis of PTSD and Depression commonly co-occur.

What is Depression

Everyone feels sad from time to time. Depression is different from just feeling unhappy or sad. Depression is more intense, lasts longer, and has a large negative impact on a person's life. The following are the symptoms of depression (also called a major depressive episode) as described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition (DSM-IV):

Depressed mood for almost every day and for the majority of the day.

Loss of interest or pleasure in activities.

Considerable weight loss or weight gain.

Difficulties falling asleep or sleeping too much.

Feeling constantly on edge and restless or lethargic and "slowed down."

Feeling worthless and/or guilty.

Difficulties concentrating and/or making decisions.

Thoughts of ending one's own life.

According to the DSM-IV, to be diagnosed with a major depressive episode, a person must experience 5 of these symptoms all within the same 2-week (or longer) period.

How Common is the Occurrence between PTSD and Depression?

Depression is one of the most commonly occurring disorders in PTSD. In fact, it has been found that among people who have or have had a diagnosis of PTSD, approximately 48% also had current or past depression. People who have had PTSD at some point in their life are almost 7 times as likely as people without PTSD to also have depression. Another study found that 44.5% of people with PTSD one month after experiencing a traumatic event also had a diagnosis of depression.

How are PTSD and Depression Connected?

PTSD and depression may be connected in a number of ways. First, people with depression have been found to be more likely to have traumatic experiences than people without depression, which, in turn, may increase the likelihood that PTSD develops.

A second possibility is that the symptoms of PTSD can be so distressing and debilitating that they actually cause depression to develop. Some people with PTSD may feel detached or disconnected from friends and family. They may also find little pleasure in activities they once enjoyed. Finally, they may even have difficulty experiencing positive emotions like joy and happiness. It is easy to see how experiencing these symptoms of PTSD may make someone feel very sad, lonely, and depressed.

A final possibility is that there is some kind of genetic factor that underlies the development of both PTSD and depression.

Getting Treatment

If you have PTSD, it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. The sooner you address your PTSD symptoms, the less likely they will become worse and will in turn increase your risk for depression.

If you currently have PTSD and depression, it is still important to get treatment as soon as possible. Each disorder may make the other worse. PTSD and depression are very common co-occurring mental disorders. Therefore, mental health professionals trained in the treatment of PTSD are also usually well-trained in the treatment of depression. In addition, some treatments, such as behavioral activation, may be equally good in treating PTSD and depression.

Several of the Obama administration's openness and transparency initiatives may be getting a reprieve.
The House Appropriations Committee included $17 million for the E-Government Fund in the latest continuing resolution to fund the government for the rest of fiscal 2011.

It still is far below the $35 million the administration requested and below the $20 million the Senate approved, but it will stave off the need to shut down eight sites and one initiative starting in May.
"I think there is an awful lot that is going to happen between now and when we finally get the government funded for the rest of this year and next year, but certainly there is a recognition that money was needed," said Rep. Jo Ann Emerson (R-Mo.), chairwoman of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government after a hearing on the General Services Administration's 2012 budget request.
Committee chairman Hal Rogers (R-Ky.) introduced a new version of a continuing resolution late Monday night to keep the government open for at least another week. The bill includes the money for the E-Government fund, a full bill for the Defense Department for all of 2011 and $12 billion in cuts to federal discretionary spending.
"This bill is not the preferable way to go forward, and I would greatly prefer to come to a final agreement with the Senate to put this long-overdue budget work behind us," Rogers said in a statement. "However, we must maintain critical programs and services for the American people and protect our nation's financial future. This legislation gives us this option, while exacting a price for [Senate] Leader [Harry] Reid's delays and allowing time to finally begin honest negotiations."
The bill also includes $34 million for GSA's Federal Citizen Services Fund and $7.5 billion for the Federal Buildings Fund.
At the subcommittee hearing on Tuesday, GSA Administrator Martha Johnson said the e-government fund is critical in keeping these open government tools helping citizens understand how the government works.
"The public gets accustomed to using these new tools," Johnson said. "For instance, USASpending.gov saw their traffic increase by 30 percent last year."

Hello Andrew,
Sorry I haven't got back to you sooner. Have been rather pre-occupied on
other things for a little while.
As to the purpose of Sub-genera, yes it is the territory of botanists who
decide the inter relationships on what appear to be mysterious bases. I do,
by the way, give a description of the various differences between
Pelargonium families/sub-genera on my web page in the introduction to "the
Family". As a hybridizer the grouping together of certain species does
give a degree of confidence into potential crosses that may be worth
pursuing and most successful crosses have arisen within sub-genera. There
have been and all ways will be the oddity that occurs.
As hybridizers and the bees have failed to cross zonals and regals without
success for 200 years ( maybe 1000years) I would think the chances are
pretty remote of it occuring so in this instance it would seem that the
botanists got it right.
With respect to Cynthia's learned historian, his formula for the creation
of regals is only one of many many theorems most at least agreeing on
cucculatum and its so-called forms,, as being the principal parent.
P.grandiflorum is certainly a species not included in the
Pelargium/pelargonium sub-genera but then there was also a cultivar
P.Grandiflorum which is nothing like the species and there was supposedly a
P.Superbum significantly involved. Early nurserymen liked using latin for
naming their plants in the forgotten past, thank goodness it is on longer
permitted under the rules of nomenclature. I doubt fulgidum is in regals
as most of its offspring hybrids are sterile.
As to the useage of P.Domesticum and P.Hortorum I agree and it cannot
happen these days. As I said earlier it is a carry over from the "good old
days" when life was supposed to be less confused and simpler than today.

Retirees being forced back to work
Broadcast: 07/11/2008
Reporter: Rebecca Boteler
REBECCA CARMODY: With superannuation funds losing about a billion dollars a day, retirees around Australia are being forced to rethink their plans.
Some who were on the brink of retirement are being forced to stay in their jobs as they watch their savings evaporate while others who had already retired now finding themselves back at work.
After being out of the work force for years, returning can be a daunting prospect. But as Rebecca Boteler found out, some new recruits are experiencing unexpected rewards.
REBECCA BOTELER: When Dudley Carr retired 10 years ago he had dreams of relaxing and enjoying his twilight years. Like most people Mr Carr imagined his only visit to a funeral home would be when his time was up. Instead, he's ended up as the company's newest employee.
DUDLEY CARR, FUNERAL DIRECTOR: I do enjoy it very much. I think it's an honour to be able to assist people on their final journey.
REBECCA BOTELER: And much to his surprise, helping others deal with death has given Dudley Carr a new lease on life.
DUDLEY CARR: When one door closes another opens and that's exactly what happened in my case.
REBECCA BOTELER: In his previous working life, Mr Carr was a pharmacist for almost 40 years but in 1996 he was stabbed during an armed hold-up.
NEWS REPORT: Mr Carr was attacked in his pharmacy when he jumped on an armed robber last night.
DUDLEY CARR (NEWS FILE): A few minutes later he was able to pull out his fishing knife and I got slashed on the head.
DUDLEY CARR: It was unpleasant for me and very unpleasant for the bandit after he got sentenced to 13 years in jail.
REBECCA BOTELER: He later sold his pharmacy and invested heavily in the stock market, planning to use the income to see he and his wife through the retirement years.
DUDLEY CARR: For 10 years I had a wonderful run on the stock exchange and like everybody else thought it was never going to end. But suddenly one day it all fell in a heap but I thought okay I'm still in good state of health I will go back to work.
REBECCA BOTELER: But instead of going back into pharmacy he answered a job ad at this family-run funeral home.
REBECCA BOTELER: Did you ever think at the age of 73 you would be starting a new career?
DUDLEY CARR: No, I certainly did not.
REBECCA BOTELER: Mr Carr is now one of five retirees who have been employed there.
DUDLEY CARR: Okay, one, two, three...
KERRY SCOTT, MANAGER: He's turned out to be very, very good and we get a lot of people ringing in to say thank you very much he was so caring when he's taken them in the cars to the funeral.
REBECCA BOTELER: Dudley Carr is not alone. The financial crisis has hit retirees hard as they watch their nest eggs crack under the pressure of plummeting share prices. Recruitment firms say they've seen a big increase in the number of people being forced back to work.
BOB OLIVIER, RECRUITER: I was at my local golf club and this was, I think, the Sunday after that dreadful Sunday stock market decline. And there was a gentleman said to other, "Well, you're alright, you're young enough to go back to the work force." And I turned around and looked at the guy who was talking and he was about 80 and his friend was about 70. So it is all a matter of relatives, isn't it?
REBECCA BOTELER: But Mr Olivier says for some older candidates finding work could be difficult.
BOB OLIVIER: Their skill sets could well be out of date. So employers will be concerned that they're not up to date with latest in technology, of course, most importantly, and so can those skills be reapplied.
RADIO CALLER: I am 63 and I look at it now and I'm back to where i was just a while back.
PRESENTER: Ouch.
RADIO CALLER: And - yeah, ouch.
NICK BRUINING, FINANCIAL ADVISER: I would contact my superannuation fund, find out if that option...
REBECCA BOTELER: Superannuation funds are losing an estimated $1 billion a day. By the end of year, they're expected to drop by 15 per cent and many investors are getting hit with a double whammy.
NICK BRUINING: Those that have got a blended investment portfolio of superannuation and shares, through their superannuation fund they might not have realised they also have a share exposure as well.
So as the share market has gone down they've seen the value of their directly held shares fall but because the super fund holds shares that too has declined in value.
REBECCA BOTELER: But Mr Bruining says for many the blow will be cushioned.
NICK BRUINING: Whilst our investment balances might decline, if you're close to pension age your Centrelink payments will increase. And what you often find is what you lose in one hand, you might pick up in the other.
REBECCA BOTELER: For those still in the work force, retirement dreams have been put on hold. Betsy and David Orwin are approaching 70. They had plans to sell their shop in Busselton next year.
BETSY ORWIN, SMALL BUSINESS OWNER: We moved from Melbourne to Western Australia to retire. And here we are but still not retired, unfortunately.
We did plan to retire in about another year or so but with the way the economy is it's... we just find is going to be too hard.
That's got to stay in. That's got to stay in.
REBECCA BOTELER: They've watched the value of their superannuation drop by a third and now have to stay in the work force to fund the lifestyle they're used to.
BETSY ORWIN: We would love to do a bit of travelling. We're not getting any younger and we would just love to sit back and enjoy the grand kids but unfortunately we have to keep going.
REBECCA BOTELER: They now think they will have to spend the next five years working and even when they do retire it won't be quite what they had hoped.
BETSY ORWIN: This is not going to fix itself in a year or two years. This is going to take a few years to come good and we are never going to get back the money we had. We realise that. We're just going to have to cut back on what we planned to do.
REBECCA BOTELER: And while working well into his 70s wasn't in this former retiree's plan, it isn't all bad. Getting back to the work force has given him a new sense of purpose and a job for life.
DUDLEY CARR: I am going to stay in here as long as they take me, as long as they need me and as long as they want me. Obviously, as the years go on in five years time I am going to be an old man... Well, I will know when it's time to go.
REBECCA CARMODY: Rebecca Boteler.

"Dana was GREAT to work with (she also helped us buy a house at same time as selling a house). The whole process of buying/selling was actually a pleasure with her at the helm! She guided us through anything we needed. Kept us from "freaking out" when crunch time came--trying to close on 2 houses and have the timing all work out so we weren't "homeless" for a short time. She's a real people person, it was a fantastic experience all the way around!" - JW Varner

Experiencing history on a tour is less dangerous than living it firsthand, as it results in fewer bayonet injuries and hopeless slam-dunk contests with Abe Lincoln. Safely savor yesteryear with today's Groupon: for $29, you get one admission to a 2.5-hour bus tour of gangster sites from Vegas Mob Tour (a $66.25 value).
Clad in gangster garb, Vegas Mob Tour's guides weave salacious tales culled from Dennis Griffin's The Battle for Las Vegas: The Law vs. The Mob, which recounts interviews with a retired FBI agent, on a bus tour that was featured by the Chicago Tribune. At 6 p.m. at the Royal Resort, the tour kicks off with the ceremonial sacrifice of a fedora before fact-laden narratives relate a sordid history of Sin City's mobsters. Buses shuttles passengers between sites of murders, disappearances, celebrity fatalities, and other crimes carried out by notorious figures such as Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel, Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal, and Tony "The Ant" Spilotro. Wielding exclusive insight from felon-turned-witness Frank Cullotta, the tour peeks behind the shadowy curtain of intrigue that surrounds the crooks, killers, and puppy salesmen who overran Vegas in the 1970s.

The Manchester City chief executive Garry Cook went back on the offensive yesterday, stating that he had examined, before this season had even started, which alternative managers might be available as part of the club's "scenario planning" if Mark Hughes failed to meet expectations.
The Independent can reveal that Cook had a two-hour meeting with Hughes two days after the 2-1 win over the league leaders Chelsea on 5 December, during which the chief executive made it clear that he was considering other managerial options. Hughes, who had asked for the meeting at Eastlands amid rumours about his own future, is understood to have left the meeting on cordial terms with Cook. His players were to fail him twice more before Roberto Mancini was signed, 12 days later.
But Cook's preparations for the possibility of Hughes failing to meet Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al Nahyan's expectations had begun in the summer when he and his chairman Khaldoon al-Mubarak were "looking at the managers who could be available in a World Cup year, and those who might definitely be available", he has now revealed.
Cook believes that what passes for good business planning in any other organisation should also apply to the world of football – though his decision to reveal as much in such detail is extraordinary. "We did our scenario planning, mapping out the season, the results we were seeking and in those plans we looked at the options open to us if we were in a position when we needed to look for a new manager before Christmas," he said. "Even at that point we looked at the managers who could be available in a World Cup year, and those who might definitely be available. We had no intention of replacing Mark Hughes – but surely as a business we are entitled to examine all the options?"
Cook made a statistical justification for removing Hughes that does not hold water, when he also criticised him yesterday for his suggestion that the pre-agreed 70-point target should equate to a sixth-place finish. "It was a touch circumspect of Mark to leave us saying [that]. No club since 1995 has finished below fourth place with 70 points," Cook said. Last season, 70 points would have seen City trail fourth-placed Arsenal by two points.
"The key message is that we do not have to apologise for our actions," Cook continued. "We have nothing to apologise for." He believes that the reporting of Mancini's inaugural press conference, during which the Italian unwittingly spoke of an early December meeting with Sheikh Mansour in London, which Cook had not detailed, represents a "shafting" of the new manager by dint of his limited grasp of English, and hinted that he is considering legal action.
"Roberto has been caught up in a language issue; in truth he has been shafted," Cook said. "From our point of view it is important that the fans know the facts and the way we have acted in the best interests of the club. We are livid that the media has taken a little information and misinterpreted it and that Roberto has been caught up in the crossfire. We feel that we have been falsely represented and in the interests of the club we are prepared to do something about it, and we are in the process of looking into it."
The point of contention is the disclosure of a meeting held in London on or around 2 December – something that Cook came closest to disclosing when he said on Monday that "the decision to look at managerial options was taken only three weeks ago after the Hull game" – a 1-1 draw, around four days before the first Mancini meeting. It was left to Mancini to reveal the full detail: a meeting in London between himself and Sheikh Mansour, who never ventured to Manchester to see a match in the Mark Hughes era.
As the aftermath of the Hughes sacking continued to cloud the club yesterday, Mancini discovered that his own defensive personnel problems had suddenly became even more difficult. Nedum Onuoha, like Joleon Lescott and Wayne Bridge, will be absent until January having strained a calf during Hughes' valedictory win over Sunderland and may be missing until the second leg of the Carling Cup semi-final against Manchester United. Lescott's recovery time might be the same.
Emmanuel Adebayor limped out of Mancini's double training session yesterday with ankle trouble and Shaun Wright-Phillips has the same complaint ahead of the Boxing Day home match with Stoke City, which means that Adebayor may not play for Mancini until late January. Both Adebayor and club captain Kolo Touré are expected to leave Manchester after the Stoke game to join up with the Togo and Ivory Coast squads respectively for the African Nations Cup.
Mancini observed at his inaugural press conference that injuries were more of a problem than the pressure of the job and Onuoha's problem leaves him likely to have Vincent Kompany partnering Touré against the aerial threat of Stoke, and the defence for the 28 December visit to Wolverhampton Wanderers looks likely to be Kompany and Micah Richards – hardly a rearguard made in heaven for an Italian manager.
It seems unlikely that Hughes will bring an unfair dismissal claim against City. The League Managers' Association has engaged barrister Paul Gilroy QC, who overseas LMA cases from all levels of the game, to negotiate a severance deal.
The LMA is understood to have taken a dim view of Hughes' dismissal though would not comment while the case is being concluded. "I'm sure Manchester City have learned some lessons in the past few weeks," LMA Chief executive Richard Bevan said last night.

It's 90 degrees in Los Angeles and Dennis Hegstad is wearing all-black.
Black Zara faux leather pants, black Vans, black Ray Ban sunglasses. The oppressive October sun beats down as Hegstad sips from a bottle of kombucha outside a coffee shop. Tilting his head to avoid the glare, wispy long blond locks fall into his eyes as he scrolls through his porcelain iPhone.
Cycling through multiple personas on more than a dozen Twitter profiles, his thumbs are set on rapid-fire: favorite, follow, post, respond, retweet, repeat. Finally, Hegstad looks up, the 25-year-old's cobalt eyes trained directly on me.
"Sorry, I'm…"
Excuse his wandering attention: He's not just tweeting for fun; he's tweeting for big money—and he's winning.
Hegstad is the co-founder and CEO of Exposely, a year-old social publisher connecting brands with influencers. The term influencer is fast becoming one of the most overused buzzwords in online business, with firms popping up left and right. But Exposely and its fashion forward digital wizard are different. Beneath the runway exterior, and over $10,000 worth of tattoos under it, Hegstad is the human touch. In an industry known for personalities bigger on-screen than in real life, he's consistent. And unlike most "experts" eager for a ride on the digital gravy train, Hegstad isn't faking it. He started off as an influencer.
In the Beginning There Was Myspace
After hustling his way from unknown Internet kid to Myspace stardom in the mid-2000s, Hegstad parlayed his online acumen into a gig selling clothes on the Warped Tour. That exposure gave him major contacts, and the inside look at what both audiences and creators want. But Hegstad never craved the spotlight. Instead he's more comfortable pulling the strings and connecting other players. Now with Exposely, he's supplying both sides.
This type of marketing is all about brands paying to get access to online powerhouses, and their valuable followings—and they're willing to pay. In Hegstad's model, clients are charged a fee for services that include affiliate marketing, lead generation, and content distribution. In other words, getting the goods in front of the right kind of eyeballs. Campaigns run as high as six figures. Seventy percent of sales go to Exposely's influencers.
Customers include AOL and Universal's Lava Records, companies hungry to connect with talent like YouTuber Kingsley, Red Foo from LMFAO, or Twitter's Tweet Like A Girl, a roster offering the reach of more than 300 million social followers across Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, YouTube, and Pinterest.
"I know a lot of people who are turned off to social because they think of it like it's a vanity number," he told me. "We're focused on pay-per-performance campaigns. We're not pissing away brand money to drive visibility and impressions, we're looking to drive engagement, sales, and brand value."
"It's not just about driving views"
Hegstad recently helped amplify the release of rapper Maejor Ali's single on Twitter: 130 million impressions to the hashtag #meandmyteam, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's social charts, and funneled 25,000 Tumblr clicks to Tenslife, an overachieving crowdfunded sunglasses project.
"It's not just about driving views," he insists. "It's about what's the next step: e-mail signups, a download to your app, an install, conversions to your landing page. We're performance based."
After launching with $50,000 of his own savings, the company is now profitable, generating more than $1.5 million in revenue. There are some 2,250 creators—or influencers, if you will—on the network, and it's poised to move into new territory on Vine and Pinterest. And with minimal overhead—his downtown loft doubles as his office—and only five team members, including his two roommates—it's a good bet those numbers will climb. To do that, Hegstad plans to fundraise and scale out the business. He also wants to simplify Exposely, white-labeling the platform with a self-serve approach so you don't have to have deep pockets to use it.
"Any brand that wants to spend at least $100 can login and choose a campaign," he explains. "That means pay-per-click, install or conversion, pixel tracking to plug into any e-commerce store to get commission for any products, plus installs from apps."
If he sounds a bit jargony, that's because he comes from heavy tech stock: his uncle is the current president of Dell. At seven, Hegstad was already taking apart and building computers. At 12, he was a sponsored, professional video gamer, destroying competition in Counter-Strike. When he entered his teens and started noticing girls, he put down the joystick and discovered Myspace. That's when everything changed.
Hegstad admits he's not really sure how he developed such a swift following on Myspace. Posting selfies years before the word made it into the Oxford Dictionary, interacting back and forth with users, somehow after two years he had over 70,000 friends and 3 million profile views. And he quickly understood the power of his reach.
"I could use these views to garner sales," he remembers. "I started to post bulletins for bands and companies that wanted promotion. Bands started hitting me up, asking if I'd play or post their music because I had such a big following. Then I thought maybe I could make money doing this myself. Why don't I post about something that I own?"
At 18, he decided to start a T-shirt company called Revert Fashion. He didn't invest any money or buy any product. Instead he put together a "mockup of a T-shirt, a simple web store, and used social media to generate pre-orders. The first day I sold 72 T-shirts, with zero dollars up front, just with a Photoshop mockup file. That was $1,400 in sales, the first day. I knew this is something I could keep doing."
Time to Scale
To help boost fan interest and sales, Hegstad would video chat via Stickcam, Livestream, and Ustream, an offering that resembled an after-school hangout more than QVC. But it was working. And soon it was time to scale.
In 2008, Hegstad was living in Austin, Texas. And it was at Austin's South by Southwest festival that Hegstad met some of the bands he was already communicating with on Myspace.
"They wanted me to promote their music on my Internet show, which was me dicking around on webcam, interacting with 'fans,' who are just people, really." In return, bands like Sleeping With Sirens, and Breathe Carolina, would wear Hegstad's gear onstage, "which helped grow my brand exponentially."
By this point he was 19, and Hegstad was invited onto the Warped Tour where he met dozens of acts, and really started cleaning up with Revert. He sold $50,000 worth of shirts in two months on tour, $150,000 in total the first year. Then he took a year off from the road, enrolling in community college back in Texas. But with his marketing teacher paying Hegstad to teach him social media, he realized he was already onto something beyond the classroom fundamentals. He dropped out and went back on tour, this time adding watches to the arsenal. The profit margins were even bigger. Manufactured in China for $2, and then hawked for $20, Hegstad peddled 3,000 units for $30,000 in profits.
Hegstad knew he had a hit on his hands, but that meant he had to be the face of the brand. After two years, and traveling to 47 states, he'd had enough. Yes, he made hundreds of thousands of dollars, and met some of the biggest names in alternative music, but he didn't want the spotlight.
"I was more excited about building the website and the analytics than driving sales. I realized I could do this with many brands, and be the puppet master so to speak, behind all of these companies."
In 2011, Hegstad moved to L.A. and fell back in love with his old flame: technology. He started tinkering on YesPix, which he describes as "a YouTube partnership program for pictures, modeled after Twitpic." Then Instagram and WhoSay launched, and "we realized we had just missed the boat." He shelved the idea, then took a digital marketing job at Velvet Hammer, a music management company that reps big names like the Deftones and Cypress Hill. But Hegstad the push of the entrepreneurial winds, and while he kept building out his entertainment contacts at his day job, he also began building out the site that would become Exposely.
Understanding What Fans Want
No one knows what's coming next in social. Sites come and go like zits on a teen. For every Ello outbreak, there are spaces as clear as App.net, or empty as the now-defunct Google Buzz.
There's no guarantee Facebook and Twitter will be here in 10 years, even though these platforms seem so ingrained in our culture and economy. One thing that will remain constant: deep-pocketed brands and a population hungry for sharable, aspirational media. Which means big advertising isn't going anywhere. And based on the hundreds of billions of dollars funneled online, the influencer marketing play that people like Hegstad are pumping seems to be the closest thing to a sure tech bet there is. Things will change, and it's still a bit of a free-for-all disclosure wise (despite the FTC mandating transparency of sponsored content), but the model works, and it'll eventually be further refined and regulated.
The trick to longevity is to make consumers feel special, says Rami Perlman, the vice president of talent and influencers at theAudience, a social media publisher based in Los Angeles. Perlman, and his business partner, theAudience CEO Oliver Luckett, have been pioneering that philosophy for years.
In 2010, after their company DigiSynd was acquired by Disney, they persuaded their new bosses to use an electronic music artist to create an official remix for the film Toy Story 3, and sell tickets on Facebook. It might seem like a no-brainer now, but Perlman says it wasn't easy to convince Disney's suits. But when the video racked up nearly 4 million views, they were convinced. Influencer marketing had taken its first baby steps.
Perlman says theAudience has worked with Hegstad on a few limited campaigns on activation for app launches; but he won't go into specifics. He did say those campaigns were successful, and he would work again with Hegstad.
"He's one of the smarter people out there that I talk to," Perlman says. "He knows it's not just how you message that matters. It's connecting with fans and making them feel special. Good marketing does that. It makes perfect sense for him to come out of the trenches, based on the experience from his past life, getting brand dollars."
"He talks like a young Zuckerberg," notes Taylor Nikolai, the owner of more than 4 million Twitter followers on about 20 parody accounts. Since the influencer community is so small, he tells me, especially on Twitter, most of the major power players communicate and critique each other. Nikolai says that when he talks to Hegstad, he feels like he's trying to keep up. "His brain's thinking a mile a minute."
But he also claims their businesses vary greatly. Nikolai prefers working directly with brands over affiliate marketing. Hegstad is banking on both, and it's that monetization angle that's making his clients, and the influencers he contracts win right now.
"The Internet is becoming like real estate—if you don't have that billboard on Sunset Boulevard, or on that huge influencer's account, someone else is going to," Hegstad says. "That's why brands buy them."
Nikolai says the key to social is making people happy. He's right, but only halfway. You do have to make people happy. But if it's your business, you also have to be able to make money off them, without fans feeling like they're being taken advantage of. That's the razor's edge people like Hegstad navigate. And to hear him tell it, he doesn't just see dollar signs with this reach, he sees potential to sway opinion, and even to move legislature and politics. "It's all about aligning the people with causes," Hegstad says. "We want to be a balance of performance marketing with a brand integration platform. A multi-channel network for social."
"The game is changing right now," Perlman says. "This is the new rock star. Whoever understands fans the best, wins."

My Japanese Table, A Lifetime of Cooking with Friends and Family by Debra Samuels includes recipes like String Beans with Crunchy Toasted Peanuts Ingen no Peanutsu Ae; Simmered Daikon with Citrus Miso Sauce; Eriko's Onion, Clam, and Potato Fritters Kakiage; and Elementary School Sampler Bento.
Ingen no Peanutsu Ae
Serves 4
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 5 minutes
Any boiled green vegetable with this nutty dressing becomes something special. Regardless of the variety, toasting a nut before grinding brings out its flavor. If I don't feel like getting out my mini food processor, I place the warm peanuts on a cutting board, place a paper towel over them and, with a rolling pin, lightly smash them before rolling the pin back and forth over the covered nuts to give them a crumbly, but crunchy texture. This dish is served at room temperature, so it can be made ahead of time. When served as part of a Japanese meal, it is placed in individual bowls. I serve them in this rustic dish made by our friend Noriyasu Tsuchiya, a potter from Shizuoka. You can see that the salad is mounded in the center, but doesn't fill the entire bowl. The circular patterned design and subtle purples and browns of the glaze are all visible. Admiring the vessel is as much a part of the meal as tasting the food.
1. Wash and trim the beans. Fill a medium saucepan half way with water and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set over medium heat and bring to a boil.
2. Add the beans and bring back to a boil. Lower the heat to medium and cook for 3 minutes until the beans are cooked through but remain crisp.
3. Fill a large mixing bowl half way with water and 1 cup of ice. Set a colander in the sink and drain the beans. Plunge the beans into the ice water and stir with your hands until the beans are cool to the touch. Drain the beans in the colander and set aside.
4. Add the peanuts to a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground. Transfer to a small mixing bowl. Or finely chop the nuts on a cutting board.
5. Add the Dashi (Fish Stock), sugar, and soy sauce and mix thoroughly into a thick paste.
6. Toss the dressing with the beans. Top with bonito flakes if using.

Write a MIPS assembly language program to calculate periodically compounding interest. Your program should prompt the user to enter the necessary parameters for the calculation and continue to loop until the user opts to quit. The equation for periodically compounding interest is b= p(1+r)t, where b is the balance after the end of t applications of interest, p is the principal(starting balance) and r is the interest rate. Since MIPS does not have a power function, you will need to build one by iteratively multiplying the sum t times.
Your program should include appropriate comments indication what the code should doing and what registers are being used for. After displaying the results, your program should exit cleanly. You should test your programs using the SPIM simulator

Motor Insurance For Young Drivers – Why So Costly, and How Can You Minimise the Cost?
Every ancestor of a jailbait who has anesthetized his or her active analysis and is advantageous abundant to be able to allow his own motor car will be acutely acquainted of the immense bulk of insuring that vehicle, even to the minimum accountability affirmation assigned by the law. It is not alone anecdotal that abounding adolescent drivers acquisition that the allowance quotations that they accept for one year of cover, either through a broker, on the blast or via one of the abundant online allowance bulk allegory websites, is added big-ticket than the car that they ambition to insure! There are accessible bulk implications for the ancestor in this bearings but afore we accede how the premiums ability be minimised, we will attending briefly at the acumen for this overloading of motor allowance premiums for adolescent drivers.
Essentially, allowance companies are businesses. The basal band of every business is to accomplish a profit, so that it can pay can pay a allotment to its shareholders and/or advance that accumulation in some added money authoritative venture. Accordingly, insurers are acutely alert about ambience their premiums at a akin that ability jeopardise their accumulation by advantage of accretion the amounts that they are appropriate to pay out in annual of a claim. In adjustment to annual the bulk of the premiums that they quote, therefore, allowance companies yield into annual the statistical likelihood of a accurate active accumulation to be complex in an blow and, if they are complex in the accident, the acceptable admeasurement of the blow and, in about-face the acceptable admeasurement of the payout that they will accept to make.
The statistical affirmation is absolutely damning. Firstly, one out of every 5 drivers is complex in some anatomy of motor blow during the aboriginal year of driving. Inevitably, the all-inclusive majority of these drivers will be a adolescent driver. Secondly, there is a ten times greater likelihood that a macho disciplinarian beneath the age of twenty-one will be complex in a motor blow that a macho who is over the age of thirty-five. Thirdly, the advantage of motor collisions involving adolescent drivers action afterwards nightfall. There are alone one in eight drivers in Britain who are beneath the age of twenty-five, yet one in four of the drivers who are fatally afflicted in a car blow appear from this age group. Finally, about 40% of motor car cartage who will ache baleful or analytical activity aggressive or activity altering injuries will accept been in a car that was apprenticed by a adolescent driver. It is important to add a accession to these statistics. Whilst they accredit to adolescent drivers generically, in actuality adolescent female drivers are decidedly beneath acceptable to be complex in a motor blow that their macho counterparts and, if they are complex in a collision, the after-effects are acceptable to be beneath severe. It should aswell be added that the bulk of the claims that are acclimatized arising from accidents acquired by "boy racers" are advance through the absolute active association – acceptation that we all are paying college premiums as a result.
So, the allowance companies justifiably charging a abundant exceptional to assure adolescent drivers, what can be done to seek to accumulate the costs down as abundant as is possible? The aboriginal and arguably the a lot of able way in agreement of abbreviation not alone the adolescent driver's premiums but aswell the likelihood of his getting complex in a blast is if he completes the Pass Plus advance conducted by the Active Standard Agency. In this course, the adolescent disciplinarian assets added acquaintance in active in and out of town, in altered weather, at night, on bifold carriageways and on motorways. Completion of the advance can acutely abate the antecedent premium. Added means of abbreviation the exceptional are to accumulate the car in a bound garage, or at the actual least, off-road during the night, accept an able immobiliser adapted to bouncer adjoin theft, ensure that the adolescent drivers avoids falling into the allurement of affairs a car which is advised to be top blow and accordingly in a college allowance chic and, as important as any of the above, accomplish abiding that there are no alterations fabricated to the vehicle, such as the accession of spoilers, which ability adapt an insurer or as agent that they accept a abeyant boy racer on their hands.
All the aloft measures will serve to minimise the antecedent allowance premium. Thereafter, it is in the easily of the adolescent driver. If he gets through a year after any claims, he will accept his no claims abatement for the additional year's premiums. As this will be a allotment reduction, it is acceptable to absorb a abundant saving, which will be repeated, so continued as he charcoal blow free, until the abounding no-claims abatement has been reached.
Although, it is bright that the premiums for adolescent drivers will abide high, unless active habits change above recognition, it is hoped that this commodity explains why this is the case and what accomplish can be taken to access the everyman accessible premiums. When all that has been done, analyze the allowance prices that are available, to added maximise your money saving.

- Phenom II
This review is from: MSI 790GX-G65 AM3 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
The on-board graphics works well for my music production machine and supports dual displays. (I am using the VGA and DVI ports, but assume you can use any combination of the three) I find everything else about the board pretty typical, solid construction, decent layout etc.
One TINY thing basically not worth mentioning - my on-board reset button doesn't work; it seems the center part of the plastic button that contacts the switch is jammed or something. Not worth removing the board from the case to inspect.
Other Thoughts:
I have paired this motherboard with the Phenom II 955.
*for those interested in audio production/recording capability of this board/processor combination* I use the EMU 1616m PCI audio interface with FL Studio and with ASIO latency running at 3ms. (lowest available with the 1616m is 2ms) Mainly recording audio from bass guitar and drums as well as MIDI data from the drum and keyboard controllers.
Overall I find this board to be a relatively low cost base to a very capable and upgradable system.
