Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen has certainly had its fair share of naysayers since the reboot was announced, as fans preferred Del Toro and Perlman's rendition. So far though, news surrounding the faces behind the film only spell good news, with the latest addition adding even more talent.
Game of Thrones and Deadpool (Ajax/Francis) alumni Ed Skrein will play the role of Major Ben Daimio. In the comics, Daimio is a member of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense who. When the military man has a chance supernatural encounter, he gains the ability to turn into a jaguar when angered or in pain.
Skrein will join a star-studded cast led by David Harbour, who will do his best to replace Ron Perlman as the cigar smoking demonic hero known as Hellboy. Ian McShane and Milla Jovovich have also been confirmed for the film as well. While McShane will play the role of Hellboy's adoptive father, Professor Broom, Jovovich will play the titular role as villainess, medieval sorceress out to destroy humankind.
Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen looks to be starting filming this September, on location in the U.K. and Bulgaria. Mike Mangala's latest comic book adaptation will be headed by Neil Marshall, best known for his work with HBO's Game of Thrones (The Watchers on the Wall, Blackwater) and West World (The Stray).
Alongside that, Larry Gordon and Lloyd Levin will produce the film, as will Dark Horse Entertainment's Mike Richardson.
Time will tell as to whether the reboot will reinvigorate the franchise, following the disappointing reviews for Hellboy II: Golden Army, or whether Guillermo del Toro and Ron Perlman deserved a shot at a third film after all.

1 Maccabees 6:1-13
Psalm 9:2-4, 6, 16, 19
Luke 20:27-40
1 Maccabees 6: 1 – 13
1 King Antiochus was going through the upper provinces when he heard that Elymais in Persia was a city famed for its wealth in silver and gold. 2 Its temple was very rich, containing golden shields, breastplates, and weapons left there by Alexander, the son of Philip, the Macedonian king who first reigned over the Greeks. 3 So he came and tried to take the city and plunder it, but he could not, because his plan became known to the men of the city 4 and they withstood him in battle. So he fled and in great grief departed from there to return to Babylon.
5 Then some one came to him in Persia and reported that the armies which had gone into the land of Judah had been routed; 6 that Lysias had gone first with a strong force, but had turned and fled before the Jews; that the Jews had grown strong from the arms, supplies, and abundant spoils which they had taken from the armies they had cut down; 7 that they had torn down the abomination which he had erected upon the altar in Jerusalem; and that they had surrounded the sanctuary with high walls as before, and also Beth-zur, his city.
8 When the king heard this news, he was astounded and badly shaken. He took to his bed and became sick from grief, because things had not turned out for him as he had planned. 9 He lay there for many days, because deep grief continually gripped him, and he concluded that he was dying. 10 So he called all his friends and said to them, "Sleep departs from my eyes and I am downhearted with worry.
11 I said to myself, `To what distress I have come! And into what a great flood I now am plunged! For I was kind and beloved in my power.' 12 But now I remember the evils I did in Jerusalem. I seized all her vessels of silver and gold; and I sent to destroy the inhabitants of Judah without good reason. 13 I know that it is because of this that these evils have come upon me; and behold, I am perishing of deep grief in a strange land."
Psalms 9: 2 – 4, 6, 16, 19
2 I will be glad and exult in thee, I will sing praise to thy name, O Most High.
3 When my enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished before thee.
4 For thou hast maintained my just cause; thou hast sat on the throne giving righteous judgment.
6 The enemy have vanished in everlasting ruins; their cities thou hast rooted out; the very memory of them has perished.
16 The LORD has made himself known, he has executed judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. [Higgaion. Selah]
19 Arise, O LORD! Let not man prevail; let the nations be judged before thee!
Luke 20: 27 – 40
27 There came to him some Sadducees, those who say that there is no resurrection, 28 and they asked him a question, saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies, having a wife but no children, the man must take the wife and raise up children for his brother. 29 Now there were seven brothers; the first took a wife, and died without children; 30 and the second 31 and the third took her, and likewise all seven left no children and died. 32 Afterward the woman also died. 33 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had her as wife."
34 And Jesus said to them, "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage; 35 but those who are accounted worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage, 36 for they cannot die any more, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. 37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. 38 Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living; for all live to him."
39 And some of the scribes answered, "Teacher, you have spoken well." 40 For they no longer dared to ask him any question.

By AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION NEWS
NEW ORLEANS — A study doctors had hoped would provide some clear answers about which of the most common pain relievers was safest for people with or at high risk for cardiovascular disease has instead left experts puzzled about how to interpret the results.
The conclusion of the trial, called PRECISION, appears impressive at face value. Among people with arthritis taking ibuprofen, naproxen or celecoxib for pain relief, the COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib — known by the brand name Celebrex — posed no greater risk for heart attacks, strokes or cardiovascular-related deaths.
But the study, presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions, doesn't solidly back that up, experts said.
"The trial was so poorly designed that the conclusions are unsupportable," said Garret FitzGerald, M.D., director of the Institute for Translational Medicine and Therapeutics at the University of Pennsylvania, who wrote about the study in an editorial published in Circulation.
"The trial is called PRECISION, and that's the last thing it delivers," he said. "It provides us no useful information to influence practice."
The study's lead investigator, Steven Nissen, M.D., had a different takeaway.
"The thing that everybody feared was that celecoxib would be like Vioxx. And we can say definitively that it is not," said Nissen, chairman of cardiovascular medicine at the Cleveland Clinic, who presented the findings Sunday.
The three drugs studied are part of a class of painkillers called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs. They are among the most commonly used drugs in the world, including more than 100 million U.S. prescriptions in 2013.
Well-known over-the-counter brands such as Advil, Motrin and Aleve are used to treat everything from fevers, headaches and menstrual cramps to back pain, arthritis and other chronic conditions. Some are available over-the-counter at low doses while higher-dose drugs require a prescription. A specific class of NSAIDs, the COX-2 inhibitors, were developed in an attempt to avoid gastrointestinal side effects.
It was Nissen's own study in 2001 that raised a red flag about heart attack and stroke risk among one of the COX-2 inhibitors, Vioxx (rofecoxib). The findings, showing an increase in cardiovascular events, led Merck & Co. to pull Vioxx from the market in 2004. A year later, the FDA pulled another COX-2 inhibitor called Bextra (valdecoxib) and announced that all NSAIDs would carry a warning about cardiovascular risk on their labels.
Celebrex was the only COX-2 inhibitor left, and the FDA allowed Pfizer, the maker of Celebrex and Advil, to keep Celebrex on the market but required that they conduct a safety trial.
The study, simultaneously published in the New England Journal of Medicine, hoped to enroll people at risk for heart attacks and strokes and who needed to take medication for chronic pain. The European Medicines Agency refused to allow investigators to enroll patients in Europe, and the more than 24,000 who ultimately joined the study ended up being at low cardiovascular risk — only about 1 percent of patients each year had a heart attack or stroke or died from cardiovascular causes across all three groups.
"Doctors may have been nervous about giving people with high cardiovascular risk a COX-2 inhibitor, so they never enrolled them in the trial," said Elliott Antman, M.D., a cardiologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston and associate dean for clinical/translational research at Harvard Medical School, who was not involved in the study.
In addition, FitzGerald said, the study design included biases in favor of Celebrex, a drug with sales once topping $2 billion a year that is now available as a generic. Its patent expired in 2014, eight years after the PRECISION trial started.
The dose of celecoxib, which is only available as a prescription, was capped at the FDA-approved amount for patients with osteoarthritis arthritis, who made up most patients in the trial. But doctors could increase the prescription-strength dose of ibuprofen and naproxen to achieve better pain relief. The average daily dose of celecoxib was 209 milligrams.
"Less drug exposure means you're going to have fewer side effects," FitzGerald said.
The researchers also found no indication that naproxen was safer, as many had thought.
Aspirin use during the study, which wasn't reported in Sunday's results, might have given another advantage to celecoxib because ibuprofen and naproxen can undermine the blood thinner's effectiveness in preventing heart attacks and strokes.
Making the results even harder to untangle, experts said, is that patients went on and off their assigned drug, and more than two-thirds stopped taking their assigned drug altogether by the 10-year study's end.
Guidelines currently say NSAIDs should in general be avoided in people with or at high risk for heart disease and stroke. These latest findings won't change that advice, Antman said.
"Use NSAIDs preferentially in the lowest-risk patient, give them the lowest dose required to manage their symptoms and for the shortest period of time needed," said Antman, who helped write the AHA's 2007 recommendations on NSAID use.
What the findings do highlight, FitzGerald said, is the need for a personalized medicine approach to predict which NSAIDs will work and which ones will cause problems based on a person's unique genetic makeup and how they respond to environmental factors.
"That's what counts for a patient. They don't want to know the average effect. They want to know what's going to be the effect for me," said FitzGerald, who is part of a research consortium working to understand how different NSAIDs work differently in different people.
Nissen said an analysis is already underway to figure out how genes affected PRECISION participants' responses to the three pain drugs.
"We have genetic material on the vast majority of these patients and we will be exploring it," he said. "Stay tuned. We're going to look at everything."

Davy Jeanney is the French rallycross driver who proved himself on the home soil, winning the 2010 French Rallycross Championship title, but he is still working on his way to success in the international rallycross. He was the runner-up at the 2013 European Rallycross Championship. In three seasons of participation at the FIA World Rallycross Championship, he won two events in 2015 and finished fifth in the final classification that year.
Davy Jeanney
Davy Jeanney was born on December 6, 1986. He started competing in rallycross in 2005, driving Citroen Visa. The first regional title came in 2006, with Citroen Saxo VTS. The following years, he continued to compete in the national events, debuting at the European Rallycross Championship in 2008, driving Peugeot 206 at the French round.
In 2010, Davy became French rallycross champion, driving Citroen Xsara WRC for JSA Competition. With the similar car, Xsara T16 4x4, he entered the French round of the European Rallycross Championship, finishing fourth in the final.
From 2011, Davy's career focused on European competition in the Supercar category, driving the Citroen C4 T16 4x4. In his first full ERC season, Janney scored two podiums, finishing third at Lydden Hill and second in Slomczyn (Poland). After nine rounds, he finished 10th in the points.
2010 French rallycross champion
In April 2010, Davy debuted in rallying, driving Peugeot 206 RC at Rallye Terre des Causses. In 2012, he expanded his rally activities to five events at the French gravel rally championship, driving Citroen DS3 R3T.
His best result was ninth place overall at Rallye Terre de l'Auxerrois, but he also scored two R3 class podiums. His co-drivers were Sylvain Buchet and Stevie Nollet.
In 2012 ERC season, Jeanney progressed to the fourth place in the final classification, after he scored four podiums in ten events. He was closest to victory with two second places at Eurocircuit (Netherlands) and Estering (Germany).
The season 2013 was most successful for Davy at the European championship, as he finished second in the points, behind Timur Timerzyanov. Davy again didn't score any victory, he finished in third place four times.
In 2014, the year of the inaugural FIA World Rallycross Championship, Davy had a double programme, competing both in Supercar class of the European and World championships. He started the season with Albatec Racing's Peugeot 208 at Lydden Hill, but after that, he jumped into the cockpit of LD Motorsports' Citroen DS3.
In the European competition, Davy's best result was fourth place in Belgium (Mettet) and he finished 9th in the points. In the 2014 World RX season, Jeanney participated in seven events, finishing in 10th place at Circuit Trois-Rivieres in Canada.
In 2015, Davy won two WorldRX events
For 2015 World RX season, Team Peugeot-Hansen hired Jeanney as a full-time driver of Peugeot 208 WRX, alongside Timmy Hansen. In the fifth round of the championship, at Estering, Jeanney scored his first WRX victory, securing also the first victory for the team.
Later in the season, Timmy Hansen won three times and finished second in the championship standings. Davy was the winner one more time, at Canada's Circuit Trois-Rivieres and finished fifth in the championship, tied up in the points with Mattias Ekstrom. In the Teams' classification, Team Peugeot-Hansen dominantly won the title.
For 2016 season, Sebastien Loeb joined Team Peugeot-Hansen, so Davy Jeanney was transferred to the 'second team', named Peugeot-Hansen Academy, alongside Timmy's younger brother Kevin. In ten championship events, Jeanney qualified for the Semi finals nine times but not once to Finals. At the end of the season, he was 12th in the points.
In 2017, after losing a seat in the Team Peugeot-Hansen, Jeanney participated in just one World RX event with DA Racing's Peugeot 208. In 2018, he raced in the French World RX round with his own Peugeot 208.

|character: hermes maiason, character: john mitchell, location: mitchell house
WHO: Mitchell and Hermes.
WHERE: Mitchell's
WHEN: Week 15, Monday evening-ish
WHY: Still Fed Up™ with Carrick's behaviour, Hermes goes to drop in on Mitchell
WARNINGS: Fast-Talking Fae meets the Golden Retriever of Vampires. Probably none.
At the beginning, his Master's fascination with the angel was kind of cute. Something dark and serious lusting utterly over a shining light like that. As soon as the Grace in a bottle arrived, however, it turned into the seriously disturbed. Hermes didn't like it, and the only way for the angel to make it out safely, to get what he was promised was if he listened to Hermes' advice. Judging by his Master's reaction earlier in the day, the boy had been.
None of that was an excuse for waking up someone who was barely allowed to sleep in the first place on his alleged day to himself. Alcuin had been a lovely distraction for a while, but even Hermes couldn't fight his impulses for too long.
It really was no surprise when he found himself leaning casually against the railing at the angel's Master's home waiting for the vampire to finally answer the doorbell. Where else was the man he saw in Samandriel's head going to be other than spending his whole day fretting over the angel in Carrick's hands? It was lovely that Mitchell cared, really. Few others seemed to, and if Hermes wasn't in a position of power at Carrick's household (however dangerous a position that was), he might've longed to belong to that vampire. Then again, Mitchell was young it seemed, and who knew how much control he had. Hermes might well have been dead within a month if not sooner.
When the door opened, he beamed brightly at the man. "Oh now glimpses and whispers did not do you justice."

Samsø is a danish island located in the Kattegat north of Funen.
Samsø has 5 harbors: Mårup Havn, Langør Havn, Sælvig Havn, Kolby Kås Havn and Ballen Havn.
On our summer trips of the last three years Ballen always has been one of the highlights. The harbor is mostly crowded with ships, but still the atmosphere friendly and relaxed. The children love this place, because of the little beach at the inner harbor. First of all, there is a huge box filled with children's life jackets for all those who visit without one, which allows to let especially the smaller children play much more freely at the beach and the pontoons.
Our children are absolutely fond of a small red rowing boat, which serves for endless games.
At the wall between the beach and the street behind it, there are some ropes fixed, which can be used for climbing practice; another things the children are not getting tried of. What is of great fun in all harbors is catching crabs and starfishes.
To both sides of the harbor are long beaches, which invite for strolls and swimming.
Around the harbor, as all over the island, are many holiday apartment houses and hotels. Restaurants and cafés can be found in the harbor as well as a smoke house offering delicious, freshly smoked fish.
Some smaller shops are nearby and a supermarket with an assortment of mostly anything one needs is just adjacent to the harbor.

Jennifer Lawrence thought the most appropriate place to pee on a night out would be in a bucket.
Yes, you heard that right.
The actress spent a wild night out with pop superstar Adele back in March, visiting several bars across the New York City area, including Alan Cumming's Cumming Club.
As well as partying in style, the 28-year-old made sure to get her makeup done by the club's renowned drag queens.
Then, of course, she went to the toilet in a bucket. Classy.
Alan told People: 'We had a hilarious time where Jennifer Lawrence and Adele came. They went downstairs to the basement and Jennifer got her make-up done by the drag queens.
'And she peed in a bucket because she didn't want to go all the way back upstairs.'
Alan also revealed that Adele exclaimed that Jennifer was 'the face of Chanel.'
Which is awkward because the actress in fact has a contract with Dior.
The two have been friends ever since they met at the Oscars in 2013, after Adele won best original song for Skyfall, whilst J-Law picked up a gong for best actress in Silver Linings Playbook.
'I remember sneaking backstage while she performed Skyfall, trying to squeeze a ball gown past a pile of ropes and cables just to get a little closer,' the actress admits in an essay published by Time magazine in 2016.
'See her from another angle as if to peek behind the Great Oz's curtains.'
Jennifer also reveals she had 'always been a fan' of the singer since her hit Chasing Pavements was released, and that her second studio album, 21, made a huge impact on her.
'Then when 21 came out, mine and billions of other lives were – not to sound dramatic – changed.
'Suddenly there were words to that before – indescribable pain, frustration, sadness, then revolution that all comes from a breakup.'
And most importantly, she stressed how much of a great friend and mother Adele really is.
'But what you don't see is what a wonderful mother she is. What a wonderful partner and friend she is. That she makes her son's Halloween costumes.
'Adele is a gift, an international treasure, but she's also sweet, funny, intelligent and beautiful.'
Talk about friendship goals.

These days, you can find windows in all shapes and sizes. There are also variations in structure, glass, and opening mechanisms. For example, traditionally, windows are either casement (side-hinged) or sliding. Now there are new opening mechanisms like pivot and friction hinges which are gaining popularity, too. The materials have also changed. Replacement windows for older properties usually have to be customized to the homeowners' requirements.
Usually, the mechanism and material of replacement windows are selected to match the original ones. Of course, there are some exceptions. If you are replacing all the windows in your home, make sure that you get energy-efficient ones. George Kent Home Improvements have some of the best ones available for you.
Windows come in a variety of materials, with each coming with its own advantages and disadvantages in different points, including appearance and maintenance requirements. Here are some common window materials:
- Wood – Wood windows have been around for centuries and they are still quite popular. Hardwood is very durable, can be painted or left with a natural finish, but they can be quite expensive. Softwood is less expensive, but it requires protective layers of natural wood finish or paint, as well as constant maintenance.
- Aluminum – Aluminum windows are preferred by those who prefer to have a thin frame for a larger expanse of glass. However, this material is prone to condensation. It requires double-glazing. Additionally, older models of aluminum windows were prone to rusting.
- Vinyl – Vinyl is a favourite choice among homeowners in Canada and everywhere else in the world. It is not surprising since it offers exceptional heat and sound insulation. Aside from the usual white, there are other finishes available for vinyl windows including a very realistic wood-grain. Another plus? It requires very little maintenance!
- Casement windows swing open to offer superior ventilation. They can open either left or right and are operated by a crank handle.
- Awning windows operate similarly to Casement windows. They open by a crank handle, pushing the bottom of the sash out to allow ventilation and keep rain water from coming in.
- Double Hung windows have two sashes (top and bottom) that move upwards and downwards and pivot towards the home's interior for ease of maintenance. There is a range of ventilation combinations presented by this window style.
- Single Hung windows have a single stationary stash and one moveable sash that can tilt into the room and moves up and down.
- Sliding windows provide an energy-efficient option to your casement and awning windows. Double Tilt Sliders have two sashes moving sideways. Single Tilt Sliders have a single stationary sash and one that slides from side to side.
- Bay windows give the illusion of an expanded room. Usually, a big window is placed between two casement windows or double hung windows to form a large viewing area.
- Bow windows also offer expansive views from the house. It uses four or more adjoining windows projecting out from the wall.
Of course, you can opt to have your windows customized for you. George Kent Home Improvements can provide you with exactly what you're needing. Give us a call and we'd be happy to discuss your options!

W Resources (LON: WRES) reports that it successfully fed the first mined ore into the newly completed crusher which is now being commissioned at its flagship tungsten and tin project, La Parrilla, in Spain. This was achieved on 18 December, ahead of management's January 2019 target.
The crushing circuit has been engineered to minimise creation of tungsten fines and is designed to process 350 tonnes per hour ('tph') of ore. It comprises a jaw crusher and secondary cone crusher both with vibrating grizzlies prior to size reduction and two tertiary cone crushers in closed circuit with a double deck banana screen. The circuit has been designed for modular expansion to 700 tph without the need for modification.
Increased volume of mined ore is expected to be delivered to the plant as it moves into 2019, in accordance with a planned ramp-up ahead of the commissioning of a new larger scale concentrator in Q219. This is expected to allow the Company to generate revenue and cash flow ahead of its move to large scale production later in 2019 for which it plans a run rate of 2,500 tonnes per annum of tungsten concentrate. Having secured a US$35m debt finance facility from Blackrock in Q118 along with two major offtake agreements (firstly with Europe's leading tungsten processor and secondly with a leading US supplier) against a background of firm product pricing, WRES's strategic planning is now advancing well. Facilitating this, last month's fund raise was designed to provide working capital independent of the debt finance facility, whilst also introducing new investors to the share register. Despite this positive news, La Parrilla's quality concentrate and excellent geographical location, the share price has failed to recognise the Project's continuing delivery on its advanced development stages, which makes the Company appear significantly undervalued. Consequently Northland Capital Partners have Buy recommendation.

Project Description
VoiceByte allows you to record and share your voice privately or on social networks. Why type it when you can say it – why read it when you can hear it.
VoiceByte was the brainchild of Australian brothers Michael and Stephen Fenech whose goal was to create a way to easily add the missing element of social media – the emotion and authenticity that can only be delivered with your voice.
It was plainly obvious that some things that are shared on social media via text don't do the moment justice. Ever since that day, the team at VoiceByte has been focused on delivering a platform that brings authenticity to social networking.

Oh this is definitely one of my favorite musicals so far. I love The Kinks, and the 60s in general. You can't listen to Sunny Afternoon or Waterloo Sunset and not want to sing along or dance. The musical is all about the back story of the brothers from London. How The Kinks became such a success and all the events leading up the summer of 1966 when they had their big break and England won the World Cup (a topic I think is overrated in the UK but of course it's part of the musical).
The story is that of most young bands, desperate to get signed but not lose any of the originality, wanting to become famous, and so on. And the musical has all of that, the love, the drama, the humor. And of course the well-known Kinks tunes. The cast seem to actually play the instruments on stage, although I wouldn't bet on it, as it was one of the few things that seems very unnatural to the cast. Everything else was not. Every single one of the boys were in their element, channeling the famous musicians. The musical is designed to take you back into a time where pirate radios were a thing and the miniskirt was THE fashion item. And maybe I was expecting too much, but it did not quite achieve the lift off into the 60s.
It is just one of those jukebox musicals, as a gig lover I think I may prefer musicals with a made up story, a true art piece almost. Jukebox musicals seem to want to reach for concert like atmosphere without achieving said thing. And if you don't go a lot of concerts that works perfectly fine, if you do, however, it falls down on the excitement.

Starting to see a strong uptick in the use of the phrase, the 'long tail', recently. 'Drill down' is, well, long gone and thankfully so. As for the 'long tail', TechCrunch writers are apparently using it as it seems to be particularly relevant to their topics of interest. There is a trademark angle too in all of this so please keep reading.
Here are a couple of referenced to the 'long tail' I've seen just this morning:
• TechCrunch ENTERPRISE

You Think You Know What You Want Out Of Twitter Search, But It's Not What You Really Need
by Drew Olanoff, Feb. 14, 2013
"Twitter is mostly real-time and mostly will be, people overestimate how valuable older stuff is going to be to them. I think in general, for a search product to be great, you have to cover the long tail."
"What does a Twitter long tail look like if it's so real-time? That's what the company has to grapple with as far as what the search experience will morph into over time."
http://techcrunch.com/2013/02/14/you-think-you-know-what-you-want-out-of-twitter-search-but-its-not-what-you-really-need/?icid=wym1 amp;grcc2=9e325718ee7c4117b6c78e96e0dd2e49~1360948721128~fca4fa8af1286d8a77f26033fdeed202~9051ba0d265fd4eabc07782072cd7d94~1360948410854~8~13~0~0~0~13~51~16~7~13~12~25~8~7526975527903714072~~http%3A%2F%2Ftechcrunch.com%2F2013%2F02%2F15%2Famazon-takes-redshift-its-cloud-based-data-warehouse-killer-global%2F~18~
• Other Reference Sources
1. Definition of 'Long Tail'
2. Wikipedia
The drive to build a market and obtain revenue from the consumer demographic of the long tail has led businesses to implement a series of long-tail marketing techniques, most of them based on extensive use of internet technologies. Among the most representative are:
New media marketing: The building and managing of social networks and online or virtual communities to extend the reach of marketing to the low-frequency, low-intensity consumer in a cost effective way, often through blogs, RSS feeds and podcasts.[citation needed]
Buzz marketing: The strategic use of word of mouth and transmission of commercial information from person to person in an online or real-world environment.
Viral marketing: The intentional spreading of marketing messages using preexisting social networks, with an emphasis on the casual, non-intentional and low cost, commonly through YouTube videos, viral emails and standalone microsites.
Pay per click and search engine optimization: The marketing of websites on search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing by focusing on long-tail keywords which have less competition.
Demand-side platforms/DSPs: Similar to how search engine marketing monetizes the long tail of keywords, auction-oriented buying/selling mechanisms are also viable to help monetize the long tail of ad impressions available across niche publishers in the display advertising realm. Publishers utilize these ad exchange environments, such as Right Media or AdECN, to efficiently sell display inventory that might otherwise go unsold through direct sales force operations. As a result, by January 2011 between 20–25% of all US ad spending was derived from long tail advertisers.[34]"
3. The Long Tail (book), by Chris Anderson (July 11, 2006)
excerpt of book description:
"...However, this is not just a virtue of online marketplaces; it is an example of an entirely new economic model for business, one that is just beginning to show its power. After a century of obsessing over the few products at the head of the demand curve, the new economics of distribution allow us to turn our focus to the many more products in the tail, which collectively can create a new market as big as the one we already know.
The Long Tail is really about the economics of abundance. New efficiencies in distribution, manufacturing, and marketing are essentially resetting the definition of what's commercially viable across the board. If the 20th century was about hits, the 21st will be equally about niches."
4. And this is apparently where the phrase started with Chris Anderson in his article in Wired Magazine in 2004 (see link below; excerpt from page 2):
"This is the Long Tail.
You can find everything out there on the Long Tail. There's the back catalog, older albums still fondly remembered by longtime fans or rediscovered by new ones. There are live tracks, B-sides, remixes, even (gasp) covers. There are niches by the thousands, genre within genre within genre: Imagine an entire Tower Records devoted to '80s hair bands or ambient dub. There are foreign bands, once priced out of reach in the Import aisle, and obscure bands on even more obscure labels, many of which don't have the distribution clout to get into Tower at all."

Though first coined in 2004, this phrase is finding current relevance in 2013 on the web amongst the media and social media pundits.
Additionally, from a trademark perspective, it appears that at one point Chris Anderson had plans to use "The Long Tail" for a series of non-fiction books but the trademark application he filed in this regard was eventually abandoned (see USPTO "TESS" record below):

Largely via social media.
Debt relief firms that have been sued for advertising wildly expensive, misleading student loan services have begun to explicitly target students of for-profit colleges on social media.
Pages with names like "Student Loan Forgiveness Support," which have amassed tens of thousands of likes on Facebook, are using recent news about closures and lawsuits against for-profit colleges to lure those students into so-called "debt forgiveness" services, which essentially entail paying as much as $ 1,000 to fill out a free loan rehabilitation form provided by the Education Department.
As a result, thousands of poor students who have already been victimized by for-profit colleges could end up paying hundreds of dollars to yet another predatory company. The targeting of students at for-profits is a new twist on an exploitative scheme that is only just beginning to draw national attention. As scrutiny of for-profit colleges grows and several more face possible closure or legal action, it will likely only intensify.
The student loan relief scheme treads familiar territory. In 2008, in the wake of the housing crisis, mortgage scams flourished, including those that lured borrowers into paying thousands of dollars in upfront fees to fill out loan modification forms.
When it comes to student loans, the scheme works like this: Advertisements tell people that they are eligible for federal student loan forgiveness and encourage them to call a phone number for more information. Once they call, salespeople offer to enroll debtors in a federal program, usually one that offers income-based repayment or loan consolidation, handling paperwork and promising they will "negotiate" with the government on debtors' behalf to get a maximum amount.
Firms defend their work by comparing their services to tax preparation. But the forms required by the Education Department are much more straightforward than complicated tax forms, and are readily available and downloadable from the Department's website. The process is exceedingly simple, with no negotiation required: If you fill out a form and your income qualifies you for the repayment plan, you'll be enrolled in it.
The fees charged for those services are often exorbitant: A lawsuit filed by the Illinois Attorney General this summer against two student loan debt settlement firms alleged that they charged illegal upfront fees of $ 700 to $ 1,200, and sometimes tacked on monthly payments of $ 49 for no apparent reason.
The Illinois lawsuits chronicle scores of deceptive practices by debt settlement firms, including promising "debt forgiveness" when the only services they provide are consolidation and different payment plans, claiming that they are affiliated with the federal government, and implying to debtors that they are not able to fill out the forms on their own. Many also claim the existence of a nonexistent "Obama Debt Forgiveness Program" through which students' loans can be erased.
Historically, debt settlement firms "aim at everybody," said Deanne Loonin, an attorney for the National Consumer Law Center who authored a report on the schemes last year: Graduate student or graduate of Everest College, if you have student loan debt, you may find yourself barraged by emails and advertisements offering "debt forgiveness help."
But in the wake of news about the closure of Everest College and government lawsuits that could entail debt relief on students' private loans, Facebook pages have sprung up that appear to be devoted entirely to luring for-profit college students. One such page, "Student Loan Forgiveness," has racked up more than 10,000 likes since it began just two months ago. It regularly posts articles about lawsuits against Everest and ITT that say, "If you are a FORMER STUDENT and HAVE STUDENT LOANS…There are circumstances in which you can have your federal student loans forgiven."

Playoffs in reach for Coogs
October 24, 2018
After a 2-1 non-district start, the Cougars are 2-1 in district and primed for a playoff spot.
The Cougars dropped their first game to in-town rival Tomball Memorial. They bounced back however, beating Santa Fe High School and upsetting PNG High School, which was ranked the state's third best 5A team.
After the bye week, they faced a familiar foe in Magnolia West.
Jalen Pierre, a defensive tackle who is a leader for the Cougar's defense, brang an attitude into the bye week that was sure to please the coaches.
"Bye week isn't for chilling," Pierre said, "It's for getting better. We can't be lazy this week, we have to physically and mentally prepare for district."
The Cougars disappointed in the district opener, losing to the Magnolia West Mustangs by a score of 58-28. Emotions soared high in the loss, leading to a large scuffle after a touchdown in the last minute of the first half.
The incident included both coaches and players, ultimately ending in multiple ejections.
"They were talking mess all game, but it shouldn't have even matter, we still should have won." said Eric Laneave, a starting tackle who suffered a wrist injury during the game. "We'll learn from our mistakes and im confident we can do better."
The Cougars bounced back, defeating the Caney Creek Panthers 42-3 on the Panther's Homecoming night and then beating Waller last Friday in our own Homecoming game, 53-16.
The schedule looks rough for the Cougars as they have to travel two hours to face first place Lufkin tonight and then host always tough College Station just two weeks later.
Jalen Pierre wants to bring the same mentality that he brought before the District opener, hoping it will keeps spirits high for the games to come.
"Lufkin's gonna be tough so we're gonna have to focus all week" Pierre said, "Gotta keep our streak alive."
The Cougars will have to go 2-2 in these last 4 games to return to the playoffs, and assuming they'll beat last-place Willis, they need to get at least one win in their next 3 games: College Station, once the top team in state rankings; Lufkin, which beat College Station; or Magnolia, now tied with the Cougars.

So after another week of taking off and not putting up any posts, here I am again. Over the past few weeks, I hve been preoccupied with doing my taxes (still not done) and trying to fix my wife's iPhone which had gotten brick'd (unable to restore, so basically DOA).
After much efforts and mucho reading on blog postings, I finally gave up and went to the Apple store to get help. I gotta admit I was impressed with the way the "Genius" support at the determined that my iPhone was indeed DOA and needed to be replaced. The Apple store is really a fun and happy place.. really impressive. The support staff is very knowledgeable and they seem to be genuine in trying to help you.
Here are some lessons I learned from my iPhone fiasco:
- If the iPhone says "haredware problems, service is needed"… Service is needed. My mistake was that when I saw it on the phone, I tried to restore the iPhone to 2.2. (Big Mistake).
- When you buy a refurbished iPhone, your "Apple Care" warranty does not start on date of purchase. It starts on the purchase date of the ORIGINAL owner.. odd right?
- There are endless number of sites that provide you with guidance on the funky error codes (mine was Error Code 23 – Unknown error). The most reliable way to find a resolution to the error code by Googling the code and look at blogs..
- If you decide that you will take the risk of hacking the iPhone using the Pawnage tool, make sure you follow directions.
- Make sure your iTunes software is up to date. If you cannot restore using iTunes there is a 100% probability that you have brick'd your iPhone.
- Utilize the restore function in iTunes to do the restore
Overall I can say that the lesson learned here is: the iPhone is a great device when it is utilized in the manner intended… otherwise, BE EXTREMLY careful!

I have recently discovered meditation and have been meditating for twenty minutes daily for the past two months. I have already experienced some wonderful benefits, for example an increase in my confidence and realizing that I was going to do something wrong before I did it.
I have tried very hard to reach the deep meditative stage where I can directly connect with God and get answers to my questions. At the moment I am going through a lot of changes in terms of my career, and I am really worried about making wrong decisions. I feel that no matter how hard I try to connect to God to get help with these decisions, He is just not there.
What is the process for connecting to God? I am worried that I have selected the wrong career and want God's opinion before it is too late.
Life is a rollercoaster at the best of times. When times are good, we feel the elation and fun of being here, and we want to share our joy with the world. When times are bad, either we do not want to face anyone, or nobody wants to face our misery.
Where do we find our solace and peace during the bad times? And why do we only seek solace during the bad times?
I grew up in a culture where I was taught that during the worst of times, I can find solace in the church. When I hit my first adult crisis, I went to the church and found an empty, cold building. I went to the people of the church, but they chose to avoid me. I became an outcast because I was getting a divorce. I then went to the church minister for the solace that I so desperately needed, but the reception – and the judgment - was cold and hostile.
That was not solace. I kept searching.

Having regained ODI status in December, the Netherlands are set to host Nepal for a historic two-match ODI series in August.
Nepal will travel to the Netherlands for their first bilateral one-day international series, the Netherlands Cricket Bond confirmed earlier this month.
Both the sides are set to play two ODIs on 1 and 3 August, shortly after their Twenty20 Triangular series against MCC at Lord's, the final of which will be on 29 July.
Nepal sealed ODI status in March at the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier 2018 after finishing as the highest-ranked Associate side in the tournament – they were eighth in the ten-team event after suffering a 45-run loss to the Netherlands in the seventh-place play-off.
Netherlands had already secured ODI status, after finishing atop the World Cricket League Championship in December.
This will be first ODI series hosted by the Netherlands since 2013, when South Africa toured for a one-off match at the VRA Ground in Amstelveen.
Ryan Campbell, the Netherlands coach, said, "It's going to be a fantastic series for both countries as it will be our first ODI since regaining our status lost in 2014. It will also be Nepal's first ODI ever.
"These games present us with another opportunity to expose our youngsters to top quality cricket and I'm excited to keep watching their development."
Speaking to media, he added, "Nepal are an exciting team as we've all seen from the IPL Sandeep Lamichanne is a world class player, will be a privilege to have them here. Nepal have always drawn good crowds in Holland, I'm sure it will be a great occasion."
🇳🇵 @IamSandeep25 on the Lord's Pavilion balcony ahead of his t20i debut, playing for the @ICC World XI 👍#CricketRelief#LoveLords pic.twitter.com/YBlFcK14Zw— Lord's Cricket Ground (@HomeOfCricket) May 31, 2018
This will be the latest step in Nepal's gradual rise to international prominence in cricket.
In May, Lamichhane, the leg-spinner, was added to the ICC World XI squad to play the Windies in a T20I, the proceeds of which will go towards the refurbishment of the stadia in the Caribbean damaged by the hurricanes.
Lamichhane said it was an honour for the entire country. "I am privileged to have been chosen to be part of the ICC World XI against the Windies. It is an honour for the entire country and passionate followers of Nepal cricket, as well as an indicator that we are making our mark on the international game."

Okay, as promised there is actually knitting going on but i has all been sock knitting. But socks are addictive. And with a good drug dealer, who can resist knitting socks…….
This past Saturday, I spent the whole day in class. I behaved quite well by not knitting for the first 2 hours, but I started to get antsy. I think you all know what I mean. So I pulled out my socks. I ended up working on two different socks while everyone was giving their speeches. Knitting helps me focus and retain more of what is said in class. It is just my learning style. And I have 2 socks that I will be taking with me to Wednesday night's class which will be a 4 hour class for me since I am doing a make-up class. (New class which I had to miss last week because my instructor class was on the same night. But I am lucky in that the new class is being taught by one of the 2 instructors for my instructor class.) And there is a back-up sock that will be ready for Saturday's all day class when we give our final presentations. (And by all day, I mean all day with no breaks. You can get up and walk out for short breaks as you need them.)
And I would like to say that again as the only female in the class, I was asked by our instructor if I would mind picking up a couple of dozen donuts on my way to class Saturday morning. But our instructor, Leon, knows that while the guys will say they will pick up donuts, they always forget. But if I pick up the donuts, I will remember. I shuld add that Leon is really good about getting the guys to pay for the donuts. And I have to say a huge thanks to my friend Shellie at my favorite Starbucks store. She is helping me out by donating the coffee and pastries. And Shellie, I will hold onto your new yarn until you finish moving. (Shellie is a new knitter!!!!)
Now on to photos of socks and more socks. I finished up a pair of socks Friday night that I am giving to a friend. I started working on these socks back in late October and finished the first one in no time. But the second sock seemed to take forever. But I finished it up and I know that she loves them since I had her try on the first sock. I almost had a problem getting the first sock back from her. She didn't want to take it off. I am hoping to deliver the finished pair to her tonight or tomorrow night. The yarn is Austerman Step but I lost the label but I think it is 02. It is blues with some gray. The pattern is one I found in Sensational Socks but off the top of my head, I can't remember the name. I will look it up and add it later. (And I might add that this was a Project Spectrum sock just finished a few days early.)
I also have on the needles, for my feet, a pair of 2-by2 ribbed socks in Claudia's Hand Paint in Plumicious. I also have a plain pair of socks on the needles in Fleece Artist Sock in Pale Pinks that I have had in my stash for quite awhile. I am working both of these socks at the same time. But I will say that I am not attempting them on the same needle. I am just working from both ends of the ball. I want to try and make the legs on this pair as long as I can.
I also have my "Martha" socks on the needles. The yarn is Sweet Georgia in Still Water which is not a color that I would normally pick up as a yarn to knit with. But I decided to take Sheri's challenge and I am actually liking these colors. The pattern again is one from Sensational Socks. That book is worth it's weight in gold. I can't wait for the next one.
There is more sock news but I will save it for tomorrow. And I did add the onion tart recipe to recipe page from my class last week. And I do have more to add but I am waiting to see which recipes Madam clothesknit decides to use in the Knit & Dish swap. I sent her several and told her to use whichever ones she wants. (I will also try and take a decent photo of my "Martha" sock and post it along with the pink sock. And even though, I have linked some of today's socks and their yarns over to my favorite dealer, I did not necessarily buy them from her. But I would recommend her. 😉

Sandal's Royal Caribbean Spa/Private Island
WOW! OMG! And all of the other explicative's that are used to describe an object or services cannot do justice to the experience I had this past week at Sandal's Royal Caribbean Spa on the island of Jamaica. The degree of personal service surpasses anything that I might have imagined or expected. The accommodations were beautiful, very comfortable and very private. The food was as good if not better than anything I have experienced in my 63 years. The resort its self was perfectly manicured, lawns were well kept and the flowering shrubs and tropical flowers filled the air with a wonderful fragrance and the ever abundant palms decorated the property and even provided the basis for one of the specialty drinks at the Friday night beach party! Wow! What a vacation!! Can't wait to go back, oh yeah we've already put a deposit on a stay next year! Hope to see you there!

Very excited and proud to announce my third audio book is now available on Audible, iTunes and Amazon. Particularly excited because so many brain injury survivors struggle to read, like I do. It's difficult to follow the written word and, as I've found, too many audio books are narrated too fast and are hard to follow along with. I paid special care to ensure my narration was clean and well-paced. Thrilled to offer this as an additional tool in survivors' recoveries. Was wowed to hear of people using the first audio book of the original Fork in their TBI support groups and rehab sessions. That means more to me than I could ever well-express.
In this narration, I really felt connected to you. I laughed during it. I cried some. It was a special opportunity and experience for me to feel how the best part of such a challenging experience is the ability to share it and help others with it. Feels great. :))))))
Remember that, if you go to Audible and sign up for a free trial, you can obtain my new audio for free. Yay!
Hoping this is another way to add to your successful recovery as you ROCK THIS LIFE!!!!

The finale of Pretty Little Liars season 6B came all too quickly, and now we likely have a long wait until we pick up with Hanna, Emily, Aria, Spencer, Ali, and Mona again in PLL season 7. That means we have a lot of time to devote to wrapping our minds around A, Uber A, A.D., Emoj-A (A-moji?) and parsing just who is who in this complicated, drama-filled world. (Spoilers ahead!) But when our brains start to get all gobbled thinking about whether A.D. is Alison DiLaurentis or Sara Harvey or someone else, just who was in the creepy old man mask, who kidnapped Hanna because I don't believe it was Mary Drake and Rollins, and most importantly, when, oh when, is Wren coming back, sometimes we have to take a break and focus on a different story for a bit. I know it's hard.
Whether you miss mean girl Alison (please be playing us with this Stepford Wife shtick), want to solve crimes like the four OG Liars, are hell-bent on revenge like the various iterations of A (Mona clearly being No. 1), or can't stop hiding behind your pillow while watching the horror Halloween episodes, there is a book for you. So when you're waiting for season 7 of PLL, try some of these seven books.
1. Burn for Burn by Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian
If you watch Pretty Little Liars for Mona and her high-stakes schemes to get revenge on everyone who bullied her when she was nerdy Mona, you are going to love Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian's Burn for Burn . And thank goodness, there are also the sequels Fire with Fire and Ashes to Ashes, so they'll hold you over for longer until PLL comes back. In the series, three girls from the beautiful Jar Island bond to exact revenge on particular people who have wronged them.
2. Ink and Ashes by Valynne E. Maetani
If you're more fascinated by the DiLaurentis family secrets — (spoilers!) a secret love child with the neighbor, a daughter/niece locked in a mental institution, and an evil twin, just for starters — then you're going to be hooked on Ink and Ashes by Valynne E. Maetani. Claire Takata's dad died 10 years ago of a heart attack — or so she thought. But after she finds secret letters, she learns that he was part of a Japanese organized crime syndicate. And this is only the beginning of her trouble, because now Claire is receiving coded messages and packages (sound familiar?) leading her in a dangerous direction.
3. They All Fall Down by Roxanne St. Claire
If you circle your calendar for those horrifying Pretty Little Liars Halloween episodes, your favorite part of the finale was (spoiler!) zombie Jessica in Ali's house, or if the infamous Noel Kahn hiding under a sheet still haunts your nightmares, you'll love this horror novel that screams PLL. Roxanne St. Claire's They All Fall Down is set in Vienna High, where every year, a list is released of the 10 hottest girls in the school. To be on the list is to be popular — but then those 10 girls start dying one by one.
4. Don't You Cry by Mary Kubica
This one is a bit of a cheat because it's not coming out until May, but it will be worth the wait for PLL fans. Mary Kubica is a thriller master, and this one in particular matches some of the themes of our favorite show. Quinn wakes up one morning to realize her roommate and friend Esther is gone, her window open, and her alarm clock still blaring. If that weren't troubling enough, now Esther's phone is getting calls. But they're looking for someone under another name, and it seems, living another life. This has Charlotte and Ali written all over it. Vivian Darkbloom, much?
5. Tiny Pretty Things by Sona Charaipotra and Dhonielle Clayton
In Pretty Little Liars, you didn't see the Liars do much in the way of school work — unless it was Spencer copying Melissa's paper or Aria paying a little too much attention in Mr. Fitz's class. But in Tiny Pretty Things , schoolwork is these girls' lives, because they attend an elite ballet academy. And when every student is battling for a coveted role, there isn't just A to worry about, there's everyone. There are threats written in lipstick on the mirror, secrets shared with the school, medical records leaked, and even violence perpetrated in the name of advancing your career in ballet.
6. Get Even by Gretchen McNeil
Just like Aria, Emily, Hanna, and Spencer are all different girls who bond together, in Gretchen McNeil's Get Even Bree, Olivia, Kitty, and Margot come from disparate background and unite, albeit for a different reason. While the Liars are trying to protect themselves against a hooded bully, the girls in Get Even go a step further and decide to get revenge against those bullies. Except, in a flip of roles, when one of their tormentors shows up dead, it seems someone else is looking for revenge against the girls.
7. Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier
I'm fairly confident that high school Alison DiLaurentis would call Rebecca one of her favorite books. Our favorite Queen Bee mean girl would have found a lot to admire in the manipulative Mrs. Danvers and even Rebecca herself. The classic novel follows an unnamed new bride to the wealthy Maxim de Winter, whose first wife, Rebecca, died. The housekeeper Mrs. Danvers, having preferred Rebecca, taunts and tricks the new bride into reminding Maxim of his late wife. And things go even darker from there.

It's That Time of Year
~ Or Banana Squash
I was at the farm stand and saw the humongous banana squash. I was a hmmm moment. Why not go with it instead of the pumpkin. The yield is smaller for the pumpkin, and it requires more work prep. We came home with the squash–sliced it in half both ways–giving us four long quarters. I baked them and then cut them into good-sized chunks, and froze them. Well, we had to have a sample all around–the kids really enjoyed them.
I got three one-gallon bags of pumpkin-chunks. That is probably not enough for us, but my guess is it would be more than enough for you. Slices can be made whatever shape or size you want. I did what was the least work for me.
The same benefits apply to the banana squash as to the pumpkin. By now you might have read about canned pumpkin often being squash–it is nearly impossible to tell them apart once it is processed. What we care about here is the ease of processing.
