As a pastor I try to read broadly enough to understand the current Christian vernacular. One great read, Deep Church, unpacked the terminology of the emerging/emergent church and those that think more traditionally and suggests an in-between position. I recommend it. Through such reading I've noticed the past few years that the church's vernacular seems to be in constant flux, depending on who you read or listen to. The church growth movement told me to avoid certain words or phrases for fear of turning off the listener. Other recent voices suggest new terminology as well, such as these.
- Some replace such terms as justification, sanctification, and atonement with other words with less syllables.
- The term seeker was/is used as a preferred word for a lost person.
- Salvation is now cross the line of faith.
- The newest replacement phrase is follower of Christ in lieu of Christian or believer.
When I preach and teach, I try to use theological terms that make sense to the listener. If you listen to any of my messages, you'll probably find that my word choices do change.
But the last one, follower of Christ, even though I sometimes use it, can sometimes feel a bit forced.
I'm not sure why I feel that way.
Is it because I've used believer and Christian for so long that subconsciously I don't like change?
Is is it because I feel like I'm trying to be theologically hip by using the coolest new words or phrases?
Or, is it just too new for me to feel comfortable using it?
I'm still wrestling with this one.
What are your thoughts on updated theological vernacular?

Ocean County Car Accident
Meeting Location By Appointment Only. Call 800-537-4154 For Your Consultation.
In 2015, over 14,000 traffic collisions occurred within the geographic limits of Ocean County. Although this number is lower than previous years (for example, there were 18,241 crashes in 2010), given that Ocean County is one of New Jersey's faster-growing counties, it is unclear whether this number will increase or decrease in future years. However, if you or a loved one is involved in an Ocean County accident, there is only one crash that matters: yours. How you respond to the crash and the actions you take in the days and weeks following the wreck can determine how quickly you will be able to move forward from your crash. Aretsky Law Group, P.C. is available to help Ocean County car crash victims take decisive action after their collisions.What Should I do After a Car Collision in Ocean County?
Once a car wreck has occurred, your primary concern should be your own health and wellbeing and that of any passengers that were traveling with you. Unless you are absolutely certain you did not sustain any injuries in the crash, you should contact 911 and request that emergency medical crews be dispatched to your location. If you do not wish to be taken to the hospital by an ambulance, be certain to seek medical evaluation from your primary care physician as soon as possible.
The more information you can obtain at the scene of the crash, the stronger your car wreck lawsuit will be. If you can collect the names and contact information from any involved parties and any witnesses, this can assist you in later identifying and locating individuals who can either support your claims for compensation or who may be responsible for your injuries and losses. (If you can collect additional information from the person or people you believe caused the crash – such as the person's auto insurance information – this can also assist you and your attorney in pursuing your claim for compensation.)
Lastly, any photographs or diagrams of the accident scene, and/or written accounts of what transpired can be helpful to your attorney and can help improve the likelihood that you will be able to obtain compensation for your losses.Aretsky Law Group, P.C. Is Here to Assist You

Okay, raise your hand if you thought that Psy was going to be nothing more than a one-hit wonder after his massive, worldwide hit Gangnam Style? I mean, we saw the dance at every wedding and every club in 2012. Wasn't that enough Psy for a lifetime?
Apparently not. Psy is back and in typical Psy fashion, the South Korean hitmaker has returned in a big way. This time Psy has hooked up with Snoop Dogg to create an odd party time hip-hop inspired music video that flaunts a shot-taking boozy night, followed up by a hangover-filled morning.
Drink til you drunk
Smoke like a broke' stove
Don't quit take flight
I can't remember last night
It's aight this the life of a superstar
Check out the unlikely dapper duo partying all night and puking the next morning, to only party again the next day:
Since being uploaded Sunday night, the Hangover video has been viewed more than 10 million times. That's 10 million times in less than 20 hours.
It still has a ways to go to catch up with Gangnam Style, which surpassed the two billion hit mark. However, the immediate success of Hangover could mean that the song could easily contend for party anthem of the summer. So, it seems possible that Psy could have another ubiquitous hit that has staying power. Teaming up with Snoop Dogg certainly doesn't hurt.
So far, the Twitter reaction has been mixed:

Wayne Davis is a photographer based out of Minneapolis, MN with over 33 years of professional experience. Whether shooting commercial product, motor sports, portraiture, nature or sports-action, Wayne brings a high level of skill and passion for his work to every job and every image. Wayne is known for his tireless work ethic and a degree of integrity and professionalism that is second to none.
Wayne's photos have been featured in ESPN Magazine, Motocross Action, Dirt Wheels, American Rider, Woman Rider, Big Twin, Snowweek, Snowmobile, Snow Goer, ATV Magazine and Bow Hunter to name a few. Wayne's long time clients include Polaris, Yamaha, Ski Doo, Arctic Cat, BRP and Affinity Media.
In September 2011 Wayne was honored to be inducted into the "International Snowmobile Hall of Fame" for his contribution to the development of the sport through his imagery. His photo is on display at the World Snowmobile Headquarters in Eagle River, Wisconsin. Wayne has been knocked down, run over, caught in avalanches, lost in whiteouts and suffered frozen fingers, but the passion and enthusiasm he developed for the sport as a child continues. Wayne was recently referred to as "an adventurous icon in the world of motor sports" by Plymouth Magazine.
Wayne Davis is an "adventurous icon in the world of motor sports". Check out the article in Plymouth Magazine here!
As a young boy, Wayne stood many times on a box at the sink in the garage of his uncle's Polaris dealership washing his hands and staring at the poster taped to the wall above. It was a poster of Alan Hetteen beside the first snowmobile he, his brother Edgar Hetteen, and brother-in-law David Johnson ever created. Edgar, Alan & David were the founders of Polaris. At the time, Wayne thought the man in the photo was Edgar himself and he dreamed about what Edgar must have seen in 1960 on that first 3 week, 1,200-mile trek he took with a small team across the Alaskan wilderness. The trip was from Bethel to Fairbanks to prove snowmobiles were reliable. Little did Wayne know that years later in 2000, he would be asked to photograph a 900 mile journey through Alaska with Edgar Hetteen himself - a recreation of the 1960 snowmobile trek through Alaska. And he never dreamed that he would be photographing iconic images for Polaris, Yamaha, Ski Doo, Arctic Cat, BRP & his many other clients, and that he would be honored to be the youngest person ever inducted into the International Snowmobile Hall of Fame.
Wayne was initially drawn to photography because his dad used to take pictures with a polaroid camera for the local high school year book and for family events, and Wayne enjoyed being able to look back at the images and relive those memories. When he was old enough, Wayne worked an entire summer in a gladiola flower field crawling on his hands and knees planting bulbs for 10 cents an hour to make 20.00 to buy a Polaroid Swinger camera for 19.99. He then began taking pictures himself, which included snow mobile trips with his uncle, things for school, etc.
After graduating high school, Wayne became an engineer and because of his love of motor sports, he also became a professional snowmobile, go-kart and motorcycle racer. But when he broke both wrists in a racing accident in 1980, he picked up one of his brothers cameras, read books to learn how to use it and started taking pictures of his friends who were racers. When Yamaha saw some of his images and asked if they could buy them, Waynes life was changed forever.

Price changes and their effects on consumption volumes
The 200 ml. bottle of Sprite cost me Rs. 10. The 500 ml. bottle now has now moved from Rs. 20 to Rs. 25. In contrast, a few days ago, I bought a 2.25 litre Coke bottle at Rs. 50 (earlier 2 litre was at Rs. 50).
How do I, as a consumer, respond?
My 'immediate consumption' (read 200 ml.) makes a switch to fruit juices. My 'future consumption' remains with the bottle of Coke, but mind you, because its 2.25 litre at Rs. 50.
My bet is, the price change will see drops in 'immediate consumption' volumes of soft drinks, but 'future consumption' volumes may rise.

Carter Ratcliff: Let's start where you do, in
the studio, at the moment when
you make the first mark on a blank canvas.
Richard Hennessy: Well, that's
a moment fraught with a sense of the
momentous. A plunge into the unknown. Because, no matter how long you
have painted, no matter how much experience you have accumulated, you
can never completely predict what the mark you make with your brush will
look like. You make the mark and then you have to react to it. And your
reaction may not be immediate. It may take a while—for me, at any
because I never start with a plan for how to proceed. Plans make it all
easy. They relieve you of the need to pay attention to what you're
Just following the plan through to the end isn't challenging. A
acquires interest by becoming a record of the interaction of mind, matter,
and physical activity. Choosing. Preferring. Judging. Making.
CR: And,
eventually, the painting is done. But what about preparatory
sketches? Notes toward an overall composition? I'm reminded of
books, with their advice on blocking out the main elements of the
composition and so on.
RH: Well, the 'main elements' emerge
from the process, as does the subject—
the poetic content. They can't be rushed into existence before
you've picked
up your tools and mixed your colors. I compose as I paint, from within
From within stroke. The oil medium makes this possible, though there
is, of
course, an enormous prejudice in favor of drawing coming first and painting
later. That's about fresco. Because of the nature of that medium,
a fresco
painter had to work everything out in advance. But not all great painters
that. That is why there are so few Titian drawings, and almost none whose
attribution isn't controversial. There are, perhaps, two drawings
Velazquez. That may be merely an accident of survival. But both these
painters worked directly on the canvas. In the wet. Monet, whom I rank
Titian as one of the greatest technicians of all time, is very much to
point. People have recently tried to make a case for the unknown Monet—
Monet the draftsman. Yet his drawings are not artistically interesting.
compositions were not planned in advance, on paper. They emerged from
process of painting. The color-space which resulted is one of the most
and original achievements in all of painting.
CR: What about Michelangelo's
drawings, and the Florentine idea of art
those drawings do so much to sustain—disegno and all that? Surely
drawings are great in their way, even though Michelangelo may not have
prized them as much as we do. He thought of himself as a sculptor, and
think it's arguable that his drawings are not all that pictorial.
Or if that is
a silly thing to say, isn't it nonetheless true that his drawings
are not about
pictorial space? They look to me like notations of form, and often the
just float on the page. They're the drawings of a sculptor who
under protest. Maybe he would have liked to refuse the Sistine Chapel
but how could he? Ultimately, though, he was right about himself.
He was a sculptor. And an architect.
RH: A very great architect. As for
the drawings, they're about
mass and
compressed energy. They're the greatest drawings about mass that
ever been done. You really believe in the solidity of those figures—and
every grain of notation counts toward that effect. I recently gave a
talk at
the New York Studio School, which led me, at one point, to put a Mondrian
and Rothko up on the screen. Then I followed up with Michelangelo's
creating the sun and the moon. Both arms are extended, the fingers pointing
intensely. And his gaze is intense. With his left hand, he is creating
moon. With his right, he is creating the sun and pointing right at it.
about eye-hand coordination—a completely unified body-mind. One
with the power to create a universe. For centuries, Christian Europe
had been oppressed by the image of a man with both his hands nailed
down. Fortunately, determined efforts to nail down the mind as well proved
unavailing. With the advent of the Renaissance, the body returns in all
glory. With Michelangelo, we get the world's most famous image
of touching—
the creation of Adam on the Sistine ceiling.
CR: I wonder about Michelangelo's
religiosity. Of course, he was religious—
a Catholic in the manner of his time and place. But his idea of art
was Neoplatonic. Pagan. His David is Hercules. So I suppose there is
no way
of knowing just how much piety we should see in his images of the
Scriptural god.
RH: Michelangelo's God is the same as humanity's—an
imagined ideal
agent, an ideal doer. No doubt an idealized self-image. Or so it seems
to me,
as a painter. But I am getting into risky territory here. It has to do
pride and what we all love about painting—the spectacle of a world
from the painter's hand and mind, from one's body and one's
simultaneously. To paint is to unify one's being. So there may
be an element
of self-portraiture in Michelangelo's images of a god that is all
of a piece.
Of course, the ancient Greeks talked of a sound mind in a sound body,
yet there is also the Christian view that man is created in god's
image. And
the body was never thrown away. It was going to be resurrected. That's
thrill of painting, to assert this exalted idea of the body, though there
moralizers who would think that's over reaching. Isn't that
the perfect
word: overreaching? Because reaching is what you do with your arms. That
acceptance of—or insistence on—the earthly body is owed to
which gives us a set of very exalted ideas about what we are.
CR: Ideas
that are of no use whatsoever unless you're concerned
with who
we are. Many of today's art-lovers turn to art as if it were a
hot-air balloon,
a way of lofting oneself far above oneself. Far above life as everyone
knows it. The other day you were talking about a show of early Cubist
you saw in a gallery on 57th Street—paintings and collages, with
their bits
and pieces of readymade imagery. No doubt these were shocking when
they first appeared: scraps of ordinary life in the exalted realm of
art. I
suppose the idea, in part, was to flaunt the ordinary at the expense
of the
exalted. Which is all well and good, and yet one of the effects of collage
was to suggest a new and improved way of putting a painting together.
RH: Juxtaposition versus composition.
CR: Exactly, and it looks to me
as if this turned into one of the 20th century's
standard routines. How to make a picture. But not in ten easy lessons,
because no lessons are required.
RH: True. It's easy just to make
arrangements, to place one image next to
another until you've filled up the surface. Collage can be an evasion
of composition,
which is the core issue. And, as familiar as collage has become, for
some it still has the look of a challenge to tradition. A faded look,
to put it mildly. Nonetheless, I don't want to deny the greatness
of the very first
collages or of Analytic Cubism in general, its dematerialization of mass;
separating the contour, the edge, from the mass, then atomizing it. Mass
becomes this glowing, spectral, atomic vision of itself. Extraordinary.
Then Mondrian came along and tidied it up.
CR: And once he had done that—once
he had shown the way beyond the
clutter of Cubism, all the messy ambiguities—he launched the grand
of repeating himself for the next two decades. Not quite fair, of course,
but there does seem to be something fanatic about carrying on as if one's
style were the style. The only one that humanity would ever need.
What we have to remember is that not so very long after he and Braque
invented collage, Picasso was painting neoclassical works, those ponderous
figures that look as if they're made of stone. Having dematerialized
he now proceeds to paint bodies as heavy as anything that has appeared
the history of art. For Picasso, there are no permanent resting spots.
arrive at a certain place and then you go on. I believe that all things
human are provisional. Nothing is permanent. But the people who saw in
the key to pictorial structure had a conversion experience. Flat, squaredaway
form became the be-all and end-all, and I think that began the
process of the emptying out of painting, with wilder and wilder claims
moral righteousness. I admire Mondrian enormously, up to a certain point,
but I think his painting shows us the prettiest face that fanaticism
to put on in the 20th century. With his mature style, he equates rectitude
with rectangularity. The less going on, the greater the claims. But when
does rigor become rigor mortis? When does MoMA become an acronym for
Mummies of Modern Art?
CR: Are you thinking of the utopian schemes that
were funded, so to speak,
by the metaphysical certainties of Mondrian and other painters of de
Not to mention the artists of the Bauhaus and Constructivism?
RH: Yes.
These were artists who had all the answers. They were going to
teach everyone how to live. Answers have only a temporary usefulness.
search is the interesting thing. Whenever an artist pursues an ultimate
solution, I become suspicious. The origins of Mondrian's fanaticism
can be
seen in a painting from 1912, called Evolution. It's figurative,
thus an
embarrassment for people who promote Mondrian's later work. There
three panels, with a nude woman in each. The one on the right bears a
of David on each of her shoulders. The one on the left, while not allegorized,
I assume to represent Christianity. The one in the center seems to
stand for the new religion Mondrian was always looking for, and only
eyes are open—staring bug-eyed. All three of them hold their arms
to their sides. But it's more than that, almost as if their arms
were growing
into their bodies. Exactly the opposite of evolution. What does this
tell you?
After all, arms are what we need to paint. The denial of the body built
this kind of abstraction.
CR: Paintings have to be painted, as a practical
matter, but you're
that painting of this kind implies a bodily image. The flesh devolving
some early stage of embryonic development, while the spirit—or
mind—leaps to a higher level. A higher level and a very narrow
one, where
the mind can conceive of painting only as a blueprint for utopia.
But this denial of the body can be seen in the work of abstract
painters who were anything but utopian. There is an early Rothko, from
1941 or '42, called Crucifix, that shows arms and legs in piled-up
looking like a Louise Nevelson. On top is a head. Or three heads: profiles,
left and right, and in the center full-face. One thinks of Christ and
two thieves, crucified. I was stunned the first time I saw that painting,
like a body blow. I suddenly realized that the boxes we see stacked in
abstract Rothkos are like those limb-packed boxes. His later paintings
are headless, armless, legless trunks. So that appears to be the price
of admission to this kind of abstraction. Your arms. Your legs. Your
CR: Whats left of the body is a ruin, like an antique statue with its extremities
missing. Of course, there is a romance of the ruinthink of Northern
Europeans wandering around the Mediterranean in the 18th century. The
Grand Tour, upon which one did not set out without a supply of stock
responses to things that had fallen into disrepair. Or been subjected to vandalism.
The Acropolis owes much of its decrepitude to the explosion of a
17th-century ammunition dump. Thats how the Turks were using it in
those days. No one blames them, really. Its almost as if they are to be credited
with aesthetic refinement, as unconscious as it may have been. With so
much of the past in ruins and the modern spirit so given to doubts about
itself, ruins become a sign of integrity. Of authenticity, to use a modern
word that goes some way toward justifying the modern spirits self-doubts.
Think of those sculptures of Rodins that present just a fragment of the
body. The irony of the part with the presence of the whole. But not all
ironies work. Maybe those fragmented bodies of Rodins ought to be seen
not as grandly monumental but as sadly mutilated. What's left of the body is a ruin, like an antique statue

Eighty-seven running backs in NFL history have gained at least 5,000 ground yards and at least 7,500 yards from scrimmage.
Chase Stuart at the Football Perspective blog crunched the numbers to come up with a weighted average winning percentage, and Mike Sando over at NFC West headquarters wrote about how Steven Jackson of the Rams has the worst at .292.
The next-worst active back?
Maurice Jones-Drew at .444, which is 76th overall.
Though he'd dispute it, I love Jones-Drew and think he's an incredibly valuable back. But the fact of the matter is, the 2011 Jaguars could have lost 11 games without him. Even a great running back who has carried an offense, as Jones-Drew has been doing for the Jaguars, can't carry a team. Once upon a time he could. Today's league doesn't allow for it.
It's a passing game. You have to be able to throw it and to stop people from throwing it. And if you can't do both of those things, or at least one of those things really well, it'll be very difficult to produce results and playoff runs.
These are some of the realities the Jaguars are facing as Jones-Drew stays away from the team with two years remaining on his current deal, wanting to tear it up and get another one.
He's the face of the franchise and in many ways he's the team's best player. He's rugged and determined. He plays hard. He has leadership qualities. He sets a standard for taking care of your job.
And there is great value in all of that, and in leading the league in rushing as he did last season.
But on the financial scales, it's not worth as much as it has been in the past and it's not worth as much as Chris Johnson got. It might be worth what Jones-Drew wants, though we don't know that number. But in my eyes, he's not so underpaid that he should be offended.
Does he need more help? Sure. And they've worked to get it for him.
Measure his workload against the Jaguars' record, and you get .444. There are a lot of paths you can take to get to .444. There are proven paths you can take to be better than that which don't include a high-priced running back, too.

A local variation in the thickness of the waveguide layer of integrated optics waveguide causes a local decrease of phase velocity, and hence bending of rays and of the wave front. The relationship of the waveguide layer thickness profile h (y, z) with the distribution of the effective refractive index of the waveguide β (y, z) is described in terms of a particular model of waveguide solutions of the Maxwell equations. In the model of comparison waveguides the support of the thickness irregularity of the waveguide layer Δh coincides with the support of inhomogeneity of the effective refractive index Δβ. A more adequate but more cumbersome model of the adiabatic waveguide modes allows them to mismatch supp Δh ⊃ supp Δβ. In this paper, we solve the problem of the Δh reconstruction on the base of given Δβ of the thin film generalized waveguide Luneburg lens in a model of adiabatic waveguide modes. The solution is found in the form of a linear combination of Gaussian exponential functions and in the form of a cubic spline for the cylindrically symmetric Δh (r) and in the form of a cubic spline for Δβ (r).

|✅ Paper Type: Free Essay
|✅ Subject: Marketing
|✅ Wordcount: 2315 words
|✅ Published: 1st Jun 2020
The development of e-marketing has been one of the most important and influential trends in the field of business, marketing and Information Technology offer the past decade. It has revolutionised the manner in which certain businesses market their products and the advent of social media offers the potential to revolutionise the manner in which businesses and consumers interact in the future. This essay will evaluate the impact of e-marketing upon businesses and will do so in three clear sections. The first section of the essay will define the concept of e-marketing and the second section will examine how e-marketing helps businesses to reach their customers. The third and final section will highlight some of the most important advantages and disadvantages of e-marketing. The conclusion will argue that the impact of e-marketing upon businesses has been largely positive and that despite a number of potential problems e-marketing offers exciting new opportunities for business growth and development.

Defining the concept of e-marketing
In the first section of this essay it is important to clearly define the concept of e-marketing. This is a vital task, because in order to be able to fully understand how e-marketing affects businesses and their customers it is important that the notion of e-Marketing is first of all adequately defined. Patricelli argues that e-marketing is a general term used to denote a wide array of different Internet-related activities. These include "website building and promotion, consumer communications, e-mail marketing and newsgroup advertising" (Patricelli 2002: p.141). However, the term e-marketing has developed enormously over the past decade and today it encompasses a far wider range of activities and one of the most important of these is the use of social media in order to advertise online. Pride settles on an altogether more comprehensive definition of e-marketing, stating that he understands the concept as referring to the "strategic process of creating, distributing, promoting and pricing products for targeted customers in the virtual environment of the Internet" (Pride 2010: p.70). E-marketing is best understood as a broad concept and one that has gained additional platforms in recent years with the advent of smart phones and tablets such as the iPad. As a result, the notion of e-marketing is defined most clearly when it is understood as referring to the creation, distribution, promotion, pricing and communication of products across the entirety of the Internet and the wide variety of platforms that constitute the Internet in a modern context.
How does e-marketing help businesses reach their customers?
E-marketing helps businesses reach their customers in a wide variety of different ways. Boone claims that the Internet offers businesses the chance to reach their customers in a number of unique ways and that one of the most important of these is the global reach of the consumer base that the Internet is able to provide. According to Boone, "the net eliminates geographic protections and limitations of local businesses and it gives smaller firms a wider audience" (Boone 2011: p.105). It is for this reason that the Internet is often seen as being inextricably linked to the wider force of economic globalisation, which some economists see as being responsible for the increasing retrenchment of the nation state and the rising power of non-state actors such as multinational corporations (MNCs). The ability to reach customers connected to the Internet anywhere in the world is seen as an enormous benefit to businesses in their quest to reach, attract and retain customers. Another way in which e-marketing helps businesses to reach their consumer bases is the extent to which it is able to further personalised marketing. It allows businesses to create products that "meet customer specifications" and in recent years the advance of this type of marketing in particular has been seen as perhaps the most significant long-term development in the course of e-marketing (Boone 2011: p.105). Through the use of social media, for example, business analysts believe that corporations may well be to harness enough information in order to tailor products, services and critically search engine results in such a way that consumers will be automatically attracted to them, because the products and services shown will be of interest either to them personally or to their close friends on social networking websites. However, even in the absence of such sophisticated targeting techniques certain websites such as Amazon have made great strides in personalising content to individual users, as Chaffey explains. "Amazon is the most widely known example where the customer is greeted by name on the website and receives recommendations on site and in their emails based on previous purchases" (Chaffey 2009: p.32). Boone argues that e-marketing offers other important ways for businesses to reach their customers including the use of interactive marketing and integrated marketing. Interactive marketing is a form of marketing in which the advertising process is driven by buyer-seller communication and where the "customer controls the amount and type of information received from the marketer" (Boone 2011: p.106). Integrated marketing refers to a type of marketing strategy in which all promotional and communication efforts are combined in order to create a unified and consumer-centric promotion campaign. It is clear; therefore, that e-marketing offers a wide variety of different ways for businesses to reach consumers.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of e-marketing for businesses?
E-marketing has a number of important advantages that make the adoption of e-marketing approaches and strategies attractive for businesses. One powerful argument in favour of e-marketing revolves around the cost and speed of this approach to marketing and Jones argues that these two factors in particular set e-marketing apart from other marketing approaches. "There is much evidence that makes a case for marketing electronically because of the cost-benefit ratio and the speed-to-market advantage" (Jones 2008: p.304). However, it is important to understand that e-marketing is only a cheap option when one considers it in the context of the size of advertising budgets that large firms used to have in relation to television and radio advertising. Whilst small e-marketing campaigns may be cheap, any larger scale campaign is likely to still incur a significant cost, but some of the other most important advantages of e-marketing ensure that this approach to advertising has become increasingly popular in recent years. These advantages mainly revolve around the ability of this form of marketing to collect information and deploy it in unique ways.
The increased ability to garner data and critically the ability to analyse this data in relation to consumers is something that offers businesses many valuable insights into not only their marketing campaigns, but also their business strategies as a whole. In fact, in certain cases e-marketing has developed to such an extent that certain businesses are able to make vast profits by offering comparisons between different websites, websites that are commonly referred to as comparison websites. These companies have no discernible products of their own and instead they offer a service in which they "are uniquely equipped with product listings, consumer reviews, store ratings, and personal shopping lists that offer creative shopping options to consumers on the Internet" (Lebson 2011: p.10). Examples of such comparison websites include Money Supermarket, Compare the Market and Go Compare and once these businesses have built their infrastructure their business model revolves almost exclusively around collecting consumer data and maximising SEO (Search Engine Optimisation). Comparison websites are therefore in one sense one of the most pure examples of e-marketing, because their business models rely almost exclusively upon effective e-marketing to target customers. E-marketing offers further important advantages including the ability to reduce costs via the use of automation and software programs and also allows marketers and consumers to interact in a far faster fashion than would be the case when using traditional means of communication. However, the analysis above has already touched upon one significant advantage of e-marketing that has great potential to evolve substantially in the future. The use social networking and social media in particular offers enormous potential to marketers and opens the door to revolutionary changes in the way customers and businesses interact with one another. The impact that social media websites such as Facebook and Twitter have had upon the way in which people use the Internet has been evident in the past few years and Rana argues that the user-driven, community orientated way in which social media communicates leads to a different type of Internet, full of organic content and user-friendly websites (Rana 2009: p.255). Businesses are thus far only scratching the surface of how to exploit such new opportunities, but Facebook for example offers an advertising service that allow businesses to target individuals based on a range of different criteria. Such adverts therefore are targeted at particular consumers in a much more focused way than even adverts traditionally used on Google, known as Google Ads (Facebook, 2011).
However, despite the numerous advantages of e-marketing businesses must be aware of the fact that e-marketing also presents businesses with a number of potential pitfalls. Certain businesses such as the comparison websites listed above rely completely upon the Internet to the extent that without technology they would actually have no business. Clearly, the Internet will not go away, however the dependency upon technology is something that can cause Internet-centric businesses major problems and also make them vulnerable to a wide range of different cyber attacks (Liebsch 2009: p.87). Another disadvantage of e-marketing has become particularly apparent in recent years and is inextricably connected with the rise of social media. Whilst social media has the potential to offer many e-marketing benefits, businesses must also beware of the danger that poor reviews and poor customer service can have upon their operations. The opinions of one disgruntled customer can go viral at lightning speed and therefore irrevocably undermine a particular business, product or service in an instant. This type of increased transparency also manifests itself in other ways and leads to a situation in which consumers are empowered to search for the lowest prices from a wide range of different online businesses. The fact that the Internet offers an almost unlimited consumer base is one of its clear advantages, but its global reach also affects the competition that businesses experience and as a result online businesses are likely to face stiff competition and many other companies highly competent in their e-marketing expertise. As a result, companies must focus upon distinctive e-marketing strategies and campaigns that differentiate themselves from their competitors in order to be able to cope with the extent of the competition that can be found online in today's marketplace.

In conclusion, this essay has clearly shown that e-marketing impacts upon businesses in a number of important ways. When used effectively, e-marketing campaigns and strategies have the potential to reach customers in a speedy and low-cost manner and can provide promotion for a wide range of products and services. E-marketing also offers businesses the opportunity to garner data about their consumer base to an extent that has hitherto been very difficult to achieve via traditional marketing methods. The development of e-marketing and social media advertising has led to examples of businesses in recent years that appear to little more than categorise and filter information relating to products and services on the Internet, taking a small cut from any transaction that may occur as a result. However, despite the global reach, speed and the extent of information that can be gained from e-marketing there are a number of important disadvantages to this type of marketing that businesses must bear in mind. The technology driven approach of e-marketing leaves certain businesses vulnerable and overly-dependent upon technology. It also empowers dissatisfied consumers to a far greater extent than ever before and can lead to bad reviews that have the potential to greatly destabilise certain e-marketing campaigns and operations. However, despite these problems it is reasonable to conclude that e-marketing is on the whole a positive development for businesses and that despite certain dangers its impact upon businesses has been largely positive.

Hypnotherapy and Neuroplasticity
Neuroplasticity is the ability for your brain to re-wire itself and hypnotherapy is a powerful tool, that can be used to strengthen your neural-connections or create new neural pathways. Your brain is constantly changing and creating new pathways as a reaction to Your thoughts, Your emotions, and Your experiences.
Did you know that your brains contain about one billion neurons?
Every time you learn a new skill, have a new experience, think a new thought, you change your brain.
If you keep thinking the same thoughts and repeat the same behavior, you keep firing and wiring the same neural patterns. You create your behavior and how you responded to everything that happens in your life.
The words you tell yourself and the pictures you paint inside your mind will create your personal world.
If the words you say and the pictures you paint for yourself are positive, you'll see positive results in your life.
If they are negative, you will see the negative.
If you are struggling with unwanted habits or emotions, you can learn how to change them. You have the power to change your life.
If you are not succeeding in business or in your personal life, you can learn to change the wiring of your brain so you can reach your full potential.
The brain doesn't make a distinction between imagined and real.
Do you remember watching a movie and knowing well, what you see on the screen is not real, but still being able to experience a range of different emotions?
Did you ever have a great dream or a nightmare?
Did you ever hear about the placebo and nocebo effect?
As you can see, you use your mind every day, every minute to heal you or to harm you. And every minute, you change your brain.
Your thinking reflects in your body.
Your body reacts to your thoughts.
Do your thoughts make you feel relaxed or stressed?
Do you feel optimistic or negative?
Hypnotherapy helps you access your subconscious mind and focus on what you want to create.
You will learn how to relax and experience in YOUR mind your vision. You will re-wire your brain and learn how to behave and think differently. By repeating the new thoughts and behaviors, you will create new neural pathways. You will literally change your brain as the brain will delete the neural connections, that are no longer needed.
If you want to experience in your life happiness, confidence, calmness, creativity, or resilience you have to think the thoughts, that reflect those qualities.
Hypnotherapy is a great way to create changes in your life, but You need to be committed and work towards the goal.
Your life is the creation of Your mind.

Yik Yak crashed and burned after raising $73.5 million… then laying off most of its employees as users ditched its anonymous message board app. But now Yik Yak appears to be taking another shot at the college demographic with an app for chatting up people with the same classes, major or interest.
Last week, an app called Hive appeared in the app stores. It was built by Richard Guy, Yik Yak's lead mobile developer, shares the same minty green color scheme and features Yik Yak co-founder Brooks Buffington in its screenshots. Spotted by The Verge and now on Product Hunt, Hive describes itself as "an exclusive social network for your campus. With Hive it's easier than ever to talk with everyone on campus."
The app appears to let you join chat room "channels" for different classes, majors and interests, plus message directly with specific people. It's laid out much like Slack with a side drawer full of your different channels. The catch is that the iOS and Android app is only for college kids with .edu email addresses, and right now it's only open at South Carolina's Furman University where Yik Yak's co-founders met.
The idea seems to be that if you need help studying for a test, working on a research project or organizing a club, Hive could help. We've reached out to Yik Yak for more details about whether this is an official pivot or just a side project, but haven't heard back.
Merging Facebook original sign-up strategy with the messaging trend and Slack's design is a pretty astute way to create a formula for a viral app. Facebook initially only let users at a few elite colleges join, and one of its core features was the ability to see who was in your classes. The constant usage of chat apps has made them the focal points of the mobile industry. And Slack has proven that simple messaging can unlock deep value from collaboration.
Yet Hive lacks the network effect Facebook created by interconnecting users from different schools. The messaging has become swamped with competitors. And Slack's design works because you're probably only in a few teams or channels, and all your work is important.
Hive's wide range of channels of unfocused communication could feel noisy and unnecessary. Facebook already has a Groups For Schools product focused around classes. Plus, when students already have a mess of messaging apps, they might be reluctant to join another just for homework tips.
Cutting its head count, doubling down on the demographic it understands and building a lean new product is exactly what Yik Yak should have done with its remaining venture capital. But to bounce back to anywhere near the $400 million valuation it reached before its first app crumbled, Yik Yak needs lightning to strike twice — and this time to figure out how to bottle it.

Tom Pelissero of USA TODAY Sports released his 10 bold predictions for the 2016 NFL season. Included were Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson being named league MVP and San Diego Chargers head coach Mike McCoy being the first coach fired.
Videos are auto-populated by an affiliate. This site has no control over the videos that appear above.
Also included within the predictions was a Chip Kelly led revival for the San Francisco 49ers. "That doesn't mean a playoff appearance for the Niners this season," said Pelissero. "But considering the relative youth of the roster, offseason-long quarterback questions and the strength of the NFC West, wringing out eight or nine wins from this group would be impressive. Powerful Carlos Hyde, not Minnesota's Peterson, might have the best shot to lead the NFL in rushing if he can finally stay healthy."
Eight or nine wins is a bold prediction for a team that most of the media predicts will have a tough time achieving last season's win total. The 49ers may have upgraded their coaching staff this offseason, but their schedule remains one of the toughest in the league.
The 49ers open up the regular season on Monday night against the Los Angeles Rams at Levi's Stadium.

Bridge mode on ZyXEL P-663HN-51 DSL modems
My internet service is provided by the illustrious Sonic.net, and I just upgraded my Fusion Broadband from a single DSL line to two DSL lines. This increases my overall speeds to around 30mbits down and 5mbits up, which is great.
As part of the upgrade, I switched from a ZTE DSL modem to a ZyXEL P-663HN-51 modem. After a few hours of significantly faster internet speeds, I discovered a problem – my old router was configured to run in "bridge" mode, and the new router wasn't. Without bridge mode, the Mac Mini I keep at home and use as a server was stuck behind a double-NAT. Since I need to be able to reach my Mini for IRC, among other things, this was a bit upsetting.
It got a lot more upsetting when I couldn't figure out how to enable bridging on the new modem. The old modem let me enable bridging on the DMZ configuration page, but the new modem didn't seem to have any settings related to bridging. After going through every single admin page and searching the internet for almost an hour, I gave up and called Sonic.net support.
The extremely helpful technical support rep that I talked to guided me through editing the routing configuration on the new DSL modem to enable bridging. Since I would have loved to just find a blog post explaining how to do it instead of having to call, here's a blog post explaining how to do it.
It's pretty simple, once you know what you're doing. Browse to the P-663HN-51 admin website. If you haven't changed any settings, that will mean opening http://192.168.1.1 and logging in with the username "admin" and the password "1234". Once you're there, click on "Advanced Setup" in the left-hand column, and then on "WAN". It should look like this:
Then click the "Edit" button on the right-hand side of that page:
Be sure to turn off NAT, DHCP, and IP address assignment now, before you turn on bridge mode. Apparently, they aren't turned off, but the UI to disable them disappears once bridging is enabled. (Thanks, Craig Paxton.)
You'll want to click "Next" at least once, until you eventually end up at a page that lets you choose bridge mode. Click the radio button labelled "Bridging", and then push "Next" some more:
Once you reach the last page, you'll be able to save your change. After that, you should restart the router to disable the DHCP server.
Now you're set. Yay.
8 months later:
It's not entirely obvious, but one big thing changes once bridge mode is on. You can't connect to the router's web admin interface. It turns out that the DHCP address that you get assigned, when the modem is in bridge mode, only knows how to talk to the outside internet. Here's how to connect to the modem again, in case you ever need to: manually configure your ethernet interface to have a static IP address in the 192.168.1.x range, with the final value being higher than 1. Set the router to 192.168.1.1. Open a web browser, and navigate to http://192.168.1.1. There you go.

Ragtime (alternatively spelled rag-time or rag time)[1] is a musical genre that enjoyed its peak popularity between 1895 and 1918.[2] Its main characteristic trait is its syncopated, or "ragged," rhythm.[2] It began as dance music in the red-light districts of African American communities in St. Louis and New Orleans years before being published as popular sheet music for piano.
The page "Rag-time blues" does not exist.
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragtime
Stefan explains these songs are Rag-time Blues, Fiddle tunes and Rag-time and of the N.C. Piedmont style used by the Rev. Gary Davis who taught Stefan himself to play guitar and also of Big Bill Broonzy and Blind Blake.
The first tunes are in the key of C. I believe the use of the word blues in the title is poetic licence designed for marketing purposes. Nothing particularly bluesy here in the modern or even Delta sense.
He tunes us up to his guitar in standard tuning and starts of with a Blind Blake tune covered by Ry Cooder among other folk revivalists.
Its called 'Diddie Wa Diddie' and designed to let us ragtime the blues. Blind Blake syncopates or 'stumbles' the bass which gives a lovely bounce to the tune almost like a 'Charleston'.
Here oddly Stefan teaches us the way he plays an F chord which is not using the bar method but where his thumb frets the F note on the 6th string. Its as though Stefan thinks this is going to save us when the real difficulty is in the right hand. He then tells us there are many books he or Woody Mann have written and to refer to them if we want exact transpositions of these tunes. We check and see there is a pamphlet in the DVD case and there is.
'Shuffle Rag' by Big Bill Broonzy is next and a finger twister. Stefan uses only two fingers and no attached picks. He also dampens the bass strings to get a percussive sound rather than to sound the notes which aren't in the key of C. He discusses Big Bills style and the differences between him and other greats.

SAN JOSE – It's still awfully early in the season, but the Sharks are hopeful that they will be able to take advantage of the Rangers playing their second game in as many nights, when the teams meet on Tuesday at SAP Center. San Jose will be trying to improve to 3-0-0, and should be well rested, having not played since Saturday's 4-1 win over the Phoenix Coyotes.
New York is starting its season with nine straight road games due to renovations at Madison Square Garden, and earned a 3-1 win over the Kings on Monday night to even their record at 1-1-0.
"We'd like to get out of the gate and get our speed going, if we can," Todd McLellan said. "They're an aggressive team all over the ice. They're not going to give you much space going through the neutral zone and the d-zone. If we can start quick, and wear a team down that's played back-to-back…"
Of course, the reverse could happen.
"They feel good about what they did last night, and they just pick up where they left off," McLellan said. "It'll be our job to establish our game quickly."
[RELATED: Rangers-Sharks: In the Crease]
There isn't much that's gone wrong for the Sharks in wins over the Canucks and Coyotes. San Jose has essentially controlled play for the duration of both matches, save for the opening minutes of the Vancouver game and the end of the second period against Phoenix.
On Saturday, they fired 51 shots on goaltender Mike Smith, and put three past him. They'll need to do the same against the elite Henrik Lundqvist, who will start for the second straight night on Tuesday after making 28 saves against the Kings. Antti Niemi will go for the Sharks.
"I think you make a goalie work when you get the pucks on net," said Patrick Marleau, who has a goal in each of the first two games. "The d-men don't know where it's going to go off the goalie, and it's a little bit easier to get in on the forecheck, as well."
It starts on the other end of the rink, though, according to McLellan.
"The fact that we're doing certain things right in our end allows us to set up our offense. One goes with the other," he said. "If you're taking care of your end, you usually get some opportunities at the other end."
The Sharks will see a familiar face behind the Rangers' bench in head coach Alain Vigneault, who was fired after the Sharks swept Vancouver out of the playoffs last May in the first round.
Eastern Conference teams tend to play a more offensive style, which could suit Vigneault, who is more of an offensive-minded coach.
"I think it's a little bit more high scoring out in the East, for whatever reason," Marleau said. "There's a little bit of a difference, but there's always that East vs. West competitiveness, and you'll probably see that again tonight."
He continued: "We've seen [Vigneault] coach some teams in the past against Vancouver, so we're going to expect a lot of the same style of game."
Brad Stuart, the hardest hitter on the Sharks' blue line, will make his season debut. Perhaps he can set the tone early.
[KURZ: Stuart set to make Sharks season debut]
"We're going to make sure we have a good start, and let them know it's going to be a hard night," Stuart said. "If they're allowed to ease into the game, I think that will be advantageous for them. So, we want to jump on them early and let them know it's going to be a tough night, and we don't expect anything but a hard effort from them."

Donald Trump may be the ultimate con man, having convinced about 25% of the American public who voted for him that he was a populist interested in helping the working class. His recent cabinet appointments of banksters and corporate elites prove otherwise. Although the prospect of this man as president for the next 4 years is frightening to even contemplate, it's not really Trump that's the problem. He is just a symptom of the deeper problem we have in America: the fact that our country is morally and ethically bankrupt.
For at least the last half century, we have lived in a culture not of self-awareness, but of self absorption — a culture in which concern for the greater good has been replaced by a "what's in it for me?" attitude. Racism, misogyny, and xenophobia are ingrained in our culture. We have just covered it over with political correctness so we can deny how extensive an issue it really is. But just like an alcoholic, we can't begin to recover unless we admit we have a problem.
Just try to hint that the US is not the greatest country in the world and you'll be labeled a traitor, despite the fact that we are number 1 in some of the worst statistics possible. We are first in rates of obesity, divorce, incarceration, gun deaths per capita, infant mortality, rape, murder, and student loan debt, to name just a few. Meanwhile, we are last in paid sick days, paid maternity leave, income equality, and programs that reflect a society that cares for its people.
Far too often, the poor, working-class white population votes against their best interests. It's easier for them to believe that an immigrant or a person of color is stealing their livelihood than to accept that a wealthy white billionaire doesn't have their best interests in mind, and that there is no such thing as The American Dream.
The reality is that the system is set up to ensure there will always be a huge gap between the rich and the poor because the elites want it that way and most people don't care enough to do anything about it. We are a country that does not like to take personal responsibility for anything, particularly if it requires effort. We would rather have someone else take care of everything so we can go back to watching Monday Night Football.
The average American barely gives a passing thought to the suffering we are causing to innocent civilians around the world in the 7 countries on which we are currently dropping bombs. Unless it's in their own backyard, they just don't care. Imagine just a single one of those bombs suddenly dropping on your home while you are in the middle of dinner, killing your children, husband, wife. What is unimaginable for us is daily life for some.
For centuries, Western culture has been dominated by white men obsessed with empire-building. They feel it is their God-given right to invade less developed countries, steal their resources at will, and then expect the conquered to be grateful to us for "liberating" them from their backward ways. We commit mass murder around the world and don't think twice about it. The hubris is astounding, and like Rome, it will ultimately be the instrument of our downfall.
Fears of Trump becoming the next Hitler are unnecessary because we're already there. Hitler may have gathered the Jews into extermination camps to systematically murder them, but we have been systematically murdering Muslims in their own countries for at least the past 26 years. An estimated 4 million Muslims have been killed due to our wars. The genocide is the same, just under a different façade.
The very founding of our country is a prime example. White Europeans arrived here in the 17th century and began to commit genocide against the indigenous Americans practically from day one. Those atrocities continue to this day in the form of government-approved militarized mercenaries violently attacking peacefully protesting Native Americans with rubber bullets, pepper spray, sound cannons and concussion grenades.
We seem to have forgotten that we were once the immigrants here. Every US citizen, unless they are from one of the many indigenous tribes that were here far before the first pilgrims, has an immigrant ancestor. Yet it's amazing how many people say it's the immigrants who are hurting our country. Like your own great-grandparents once did, most immigrants work hard to establish their lives here. A long-term study has shown that immigrants do far more good for the economy than harm; however, the oligarchy wants to distract you from knowing who the real welfare queens are: the banks and our corporate-owned government.
Congress doesn't want you to know that they are the reason why you have unaffordable health care. They are the reason our youth are drowning in student debt, and could never dream of making nearly as much money as their parents did — all while they find money to bail out the banks. Congress never has a problem funding more than 50% of the annual budget for the benefit of the military industrial complex, and never have to worry about losing their 100% government-paid health insurance.
As Noam Chomsky and Martin Luther King said, America is socialist for the rich and capitalist for the poor. We allow our government to bail out the banks while working people lose their homes. The wealthy like to maintain a comfortable gap between themselves and everyone else. If everyone is wealthy, nobody is. How could they continue to feel superior? The far-right white supremacists (often oddly called alt-right) have massive fears of immigrants and minorities, believing they are the ones responsible for the disappearance of what they always believed to be their racially guaranteed upward mobility.
Our educational system is a joke; the oligarchy does not want an educated population. If Americans were actually taught to think for themselves, they might begin to question government policies. For example, I'll bet you didn't know that our income taxes do not fund federal spending. So any government official claiming there is not enough tax money to fund universal health care, higher education, etc. is either ignorant or flat-out lying.
But even if it's not your "hard-earned dollars" that would pay for these vital programs, what type of person thinks that any human being does not have the right to decent health care? Universal health care is not even a question in every other Western country, all of which have some form of it. People in these countries almost universally state that health care is an inalienable human right.
It's no wonder the Kardashians and reality TV shows like The X Factor and American Idol are so popular, not to mention Trump's own show, The Apprentice. We glorify unbridled wealth, cutthroat competition, and cruelty. The meaner and more demeaning, the better. We shore up our huge insecurities by belittling others, whether they are TV contestants, women, or minorities.
None of this will change until we make significant changes to our ethical code. We need to learn from the Native Americans and adopt a different way of looking at our existence on this planet. Much can be learned from what's happened at Standing Rock. The indigenous peoples of this country understand that everyone is their relative. What harms one of us harms all of us. They have respect for the earth upon which we all must live and which provides us with food and water. They have astoundingly met brutal violence with only love and compassion.
Privatization must end. The earth's natural resources should be owned by all of humanity collectively. Nobody should have the ability to make a profit on a natural resource. Along with a minimum wage, there also needs to be a maximum wage. No more allowing a small handful of people to hoard money in amounts so large they could never possibly spend it all, when meanwhile their fellow citizens are struggling to feed their children.
We seem to have lost our sense of compassion for other human beings. Yet we wonder how Donald Trump won the presidency? We need to take a serious look in the mirror and see the ways in which Trump is simply a reflection of the darkest parts of ourselves and examine where it comes from, rather than running from it. At that point, we can make conscious changes and become a better people.
A striking example of this is the stirring ceremony that occurred at the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in early December, in which US military veterans asked forgiveness from the Native Americans for the numerous crimes the military had committed against them. Recognizing and admitting our part in these atrocities allows for a beginning in healing the world instead of harming it.
We must always try to remember that we are all members of the same human race living on the same fragile planet. When we make significant changes to our outlook on others and on the world around us, we will finally stop getting leaders like Trump.

It's 2013. Same-sex couples can get married in Washington State. Jennifer Lopez is executive producer of a show about a pair of lesbians raising a big mixed family that airs on ABC Family. Films on LGBTQ issues can be seen all over, from SIFF to Netflix. In this age of ever-growing mainstream acceptance, how can LGBTQ-specific film festivals remain relevant? Seattle Lesbian & Gay Film Festival's answer: Stock your queer-identified film festival with a ton of great films that people would be happy to see at SIFF or in general release, with a spotlight on the queer pioneers who fought for their lives long before anyone in the larger culture was on their side. For a full rundown on the films and performances featured in SLGFF 2013, visit threedollarbillcinema.org. For reviews of a select few, keep reading.
dir. Jeffrey Schwarz
One of the many revelatory elements of I Am Divine—the new documentary about the legendary drag-queen performance artist and the opening-night film of SLGFF 2013—is the careful parsing of credit in Divine's creation. Makeup artist Van Smith is the one who shaved back Divine's hairline, creating a vast expanse for explosively dramatic eyebrow situations. Filmmaker John Waters is the one who urged his friend Glenn Milstead to channel his anger—over daily beatings in high school, over being a fat queer kid rotting in Baltimore—into the character of Divine. But beyond this, it was all Divine creating Divine, a fearless gender warrior who means as much to the history of punk as the history of drag, and one of America's great movie stars.
Directed by Jeffrey Schwarz, whose documentary Vito was one of the highlights of the 2011 fest, I Am Divine covers all its biopic bases well. Kicking off with the premiere of Hairspray—Divine and John Waters's 1988 mainstream breakthrough—the film tracks back to Milstead's privileged but lonely childhood in Baltimore, carries us through the birth and reign of Divine, and gathers voluminous evidence of Divine's star power to make his premature death land as it should. ("I still can't believe he's dead," says Waters, with love and light bafflement.) Beyond the basics, Schwarz shines plenty of light into less-investigated corners of the story: Divine's love life (robust!), pot habit (robust!), and career beyond the John Waters universe (from off-Broadway plays to international disco hits). Bookending the film are stories from Divine's high-drama family saga, which I won't spoil for you here, but which will muss much mascara among audiences. (Bring a tissue.)
But the most powerful moments of I Am Divine are the most powerful moments of Divine on film, racing on the insane chemistry she enjoyed with John Waters. In his early works—Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble—Divine attacked the world like no one before, coming on like a one-man Never Mind the Bollocks a half-decade before the invention of the Sex Pistols. Go, cheer, cry, gape in awe.
dir. Alain Guiraudie
Winner of the best director award at Cannes 2013, Alain Guiraudie's Stranger by the Lake is a slow, lovely, exceedingly sexy movie (nude men abound, an erect wang ejaculates) with a brilliantly black heart. The story: At a lakeside cruising spot, Franck, a cute twentysomething gay man, makes two new connections. One is a schlumpy older guy who never swims, never cruises, just sits and waits for his friendly daily chat with Franck. The other is a sexy cruiser with a Magnum P.I. mustache and a passion for compartmentalized sex (he'll fuck Franck in the lakeside's tall grasses, but forget about dinner, sleepovers, etc.). Before long, a body is found in the lake, an investigator starts snooping around, and Stranger by the Lake turns into something deep and terrifying, dealing both literally and conceptually with notions of sex, risk, danger, and the moral apathy of the horny.
dir. Bruno Barreto
Elizabeth Bishop is the American poet who won the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the Neustadt International Prize for Literature (the only American of any gender to do so) before her death in 1979. Bruno Barreto's Reaching for the Moon covers but a fraction of Bishop's life—focusing on her glorious, ruinous love affair with the Brazilian architect Lota de Macedo Soares—but from this extended episode, Barreto extracts a complicated portrait of the artist as a high-functioning alcoholic lesbian blessed with otherworldly talent. Miranda Otto is excellent as the fragile, passive-aggressively ferocious Bishop, and Brazilian TV star Gloria Pires nails her role as the powerful Don Juanita left powerless by what she loves and cannot keep.
dir. Billie Rain and Basil Shadid
Billie Rain and Basil Shadid are the creative team behind Heart Breaks Open, the small, scrappy, emotionally powerful film about a young man's HIV seroconversion (and the complicated queer community in which he must process it) that proved to be one of the most interesting films screened at the 2011 SLGFF. Two years later, here's R/Evolve, which again finds Rain and Shadid mining visual poetry and emotional truth from Seattle's young queer community. Unfortunately, this small world of truth and poetry is submerged in a larger film that aims to tackle big, important ideas with paper-thin characters and cartoonish stereotypes. The gist: A burgeoning queer activist collides with the world of corporate influence, "Pink Money," and assimilationist politics via the drive for marriage equality in Washington State. This premise could power a very good movie—maybe a dozen very good movies—but R/Evolve refuses to be one of them. After the depth of humanity in Heart Breaks Open (and in Raccoon's scenes in R/Evolve), it's a shock to encounter the witless machinations of R/Evolve's plot, which is fleshed out with cartoon caricatures on the level of Snidely Whiplash. ("You must pay the gay-assimilationist rent!") When Shadid and Rain are willing to bestow a similar humanity on both heroes and villains, they'll have something to say.
Find info on every last film and performance event happening at the Seattle Lesbian & Gay Film Festival—including Jinkx Monsoon and Peaches Christ's live extravaganza Return to Grey Gardens, Ian Bell's Reading Rainbow (featuring a staged reading of John Waters's unproduced Pink Flamingos sequel Flamingos Forever), a live version of Clyde Petersen's interview series Boating with Clyde, the Scream Club documentary And You Belong, and Valencia, the experimental film version of Michelle Tea's beloved autobiography—at threedollarbillcinema.org.

There are a lot of children's movies that have come out over the past few years. Although my husband and I love to take our kids to movies, many of those children's movies don't work for us. Some are fine for tweens, but inappropriate for little ones. Others seem to be more focused on girl or boy themes, so they are great for some of our kids, but not others.
One movie that ALL of my kids loved was Surf's Up, a fun and funny animated movie about competitive penguin surfing that has been perfect for family movie nights.
When I found out that Surfs Up 2: WaveMania was coming out, I knew the kids would be excited!
To celebrate Surfs Up 2: WaveMania coming out on DVD & Digital January 17, we had the kids invite their friends over for a party. The kids all helped me choose treats and decorate for the party and couldn't wait for the party to start!
As the kids arrived, they were all thrilled to see the goody bags and treats. They talked a little about the first Surf's Up movie that they'd all seen before. They couldn't wait to start the new movie!
After everyone had arrived, we put the movie on and the kids sat down to watch. The story follows Cody, Chicken Joe and Lani through an awesome adventure in the most legendary surfing spot on the planet. The friends meet the most radical surfing dream team, The Hang Five (voiced by WWE Superstars John Cena, Undertaker, Triple H, Paige and Mr. McMahon) and learn the meaning of teamwork during their journey.
I wasn't sure if the parents would end up staying or dropping the kids off, but we had 3 moms end up staying. We all hung out in the kitchen and had a great time watching and laughing along with the kids. The story was great – exciting, funny, and with a wonderful message for the kids. We loved it!
After the movie was over, we all enjoyed cupcakes and chatted for a while. Everyone was talking and laughing about their favorite parts of the movie, and I was thrilled that it all went so well.
The kids all got gift bags with their own Surf's Up 2: WaveMania and WWE swag and couldn't wait to open them and play. They were a huge hit!
Surfs Up 2: WaveMania is available on DVD & Digital from Walmart, iTunes or Amazon.com. Be sure to enjoy this fun and funny movie with your kids!

TORCH Marks 100 Years of the Representation of the People Act
On 6 February 2018, TORCH, in collaboration with City and County Council representatives and other cultural organisations, celebrated 100 years of partial Women's Suffrage. The Representation of the People Act 1918 granted some women and all men the right to vote. To celebrate this, there was a mass flag-raising involving 21 University of Oxford Colleges, the Humanities Division in Radcliffe Humanities (originally the Radcliffe Infirmary), the Music Faculty, the County and Town Halls, and Oxford Castle. The flag read 'Votes for Women' printed on a backdrop of purple, white and green – the colours of the Women's Social and Political Union, which was led by Emmeline Pankhurst.
In the evening we celebrated and reflected on the life of local councillor Olive Gibbs. You can watch the video of the event here and read about the flag raising in The Oxford Mail here.
The flag-raising launched what will be a year-long programme of events, discussions, exhibitions and initiatives looking at the journey to women's suffrage, and what voting, democracy, and representation of women in public and political life mean to people today.
Below are some of the photos from the flag-raising.
You can keep up-to-date with the project through the TORCH website and through our Newsletter.
