If you have a knack for finding a niche, you might be a great affiliate marketer. With thousands of companies and millions of products to choose from, you can be an affiliate for any type of business you choose. However, you will first need to know more about affiliate promotion. We will cover some vital information in this article.
Once you have proven your worth as a partner, try to negotiate a higher commission. If you have become someone who generates enough sales on a regular basis, then you are a reliable seller they don't want to lose, and will therefore do anything in their power to keep you in their program.
When considering an affiliate program, you should determine how each one tracks and credits orders that were not purchased through their website. If the company is not careful with their tracking, especially on phone orders, you may lose commission.
Be honest about the affiliate marketing program you are working with. Present this activity positively. Never be dishonest when dealing in affiliate marketing. When users know that you are doing this they will see you in a better light.
As an affiliate marketer, partner yourself with affiliates that offer things that you are actually motivated to sell. This is, pick products or services that you like. Using a variety of affiliate networks increases your chance of earning more income. However don't get involved with every affiliate marketing opportunity that you come across. It is important to make sure that they all offer products and services that you are comfortable selling.
One very good way to advertise your affiliate website to a lot of people is to advertise in venues your target audience is bound to frequent. This is providing your customer with options and information on the topic that he or she is interested in.
Using more than one affiliate program aimed at the same consumers is an excellent way to boost your affiliate marketing efforts. Visitors will appreciate the choice you present them by providing multiple purchase links for closely-related products.
Only choose affiliates that are reputable and are fair. The only companies that you should deal with should offer at least 20 percent of the amount of profit realized on each item that you sell. Your efforts will be rewarded with a higher pay if your company is one that recognizes your work.
To make the most out of your affiliate programs, be sure you keep only the programs that generate the highest profits. One thing that you will want to consider is to give your affiliates a review. By getting rid of affiliates who perform poorly, you can replace them with those will bring in more revenue.
Make sure that the affiliate links on your site are related to the subject of your site. For example, if your blog is about sports, your customers want sports-related products. An affiliate link would be useless if it was not related to sports. Visitors are much more likely to click on links that have something to do with your site's content and theme.
Many affiliate marketers do themselves a disservice by straining too hard to turn into "super" affiliates. These people can end up so overburdening themselves with products and promotions that they can no longer adequately manage any of them. Remember that there is no such thing as maximum results. You have to be patient in finding the right approach for you.
There are many different affiliate marketing programs available and they all have different features. They all supply different products, services and commission structures.
Experiment with secret links. There are ways that you can include affiliate links in your text without being glaringly obvious. Use these to keep the article aesthetically pleasing, but let the readers know and don't attempt to trick them into clicks. Be honest, or transparent, with yoru readers about the purpose of the links so they don't feel misled.
There is great inequality in the design of affiliate websites. A few can be almost impossible to navigate. Do not let the quality of your website design determine how well your business is. This gives your readers confidence in your products and encourages them to buy from your company.
Text Services
Keep your target audience and your affiliate marketing goals in mind when you choose your affiliate partners. This will show consumers you are in tune with their needs and understand them.
Affiliates should utilize text services to assist them in earning additional commissions. Even though text services are still fairly new, many affiliates apply this service in order to ensure their customers stay informed, as well as to advertise new products to customers.
You can use affiliate marketing programs to develop a very effective online marketing scheme for your business. There are other online advertising methods like contextual networks and banner advertising but affiliate programs will consistently generate more visitors to your site. When you are trying to decide on an affiliate program you should consider the payment you will receive, ease of navigation and the directory's popularity.
You will get the most income out of your affiliate programs by paying advertisers like Google Ads. Purchasing ads that are specifically targeted to your keywords will trigger the interest of a proven customer base who is already quite passionate about that specific market niche. This should drive eager customers directly to your website's doorstep.
Putting a time limit on purchasing an affiliate product is a great affiliate marketing tool. Setting a deadline forces potential customers to make a decision whether to buy the product or not. It can be the motivation they need to go through with the purchase. This tactic is a time tested and proven way to boost sales.
You need your readers to trust you. If you build trust, customers are likely to support you and your affiliates by clicking the referral links on your page.
Knowing your audience will make you successful through affiliate marketing. You must work hard to satisfy your visitors. Understand what exactly is drawing them to your site. Is there an area of your website that attracts a particularly large amount of traffic?
Consider placing a trivia question within a banner, they will have to click and visit to answer it. If the question is relevant to a large audience, many will click the banner to find the answer. Give your customers a discount if they answered correctly.
Be sure the products you are promoting are good ones. The products that you recommend to others are a reflection of the type of person you are and the business that you run. Depending on what products you promote, your customers will have a different perception towards you and a different sense of trust in you. An effective way of keeping customers is by promoting other positive products.
Enhance your affiliate promotion activities by adding interesting media, such as screenshots and videos. These types of "bonuses" encourage people to buy the product. But don't stop at attractive and decorative advertising. Give the potential customer all the solid information he needs in order to decide to buy.
You must let your readers know who you are dealing with when it comes to affiliate marketing. A base of loyal readers can only be built through honesty and integrity in all of your business dealings. Honesty pays. A less than honest ad may cause a reader to avoid you. They may react to your dis-ingenuousness by being disinclined to give you a commission. They can do this by going to the seller's site on their own instead of through you.
Tracking System
Successful affiliate marketing consists of using the most pertinent and relevant information. Continually research affiliate programs and the various things they have to offer you. To keep your website fresh and interesting, keep current on new marketing tools offered by your programs that will attract traffic to your site.
Some affiliates will attempt to scam you into using their own personal tracking system. Avoid this by using a reliable tracking system.
Don't automatically conclude that any program with a 100% commission is a fraudulent scheme. Before you completely ignore this opportunity, read the details. Some companies that offer subscription services only pay you for the initial subscription and not the recurring charges. You can make good money from these so look closely when you see offers that resemble this.
It is not helpful to put all your work into only a couple of online marketing campaigns. Incorporate variety in your products, as well as with the vendors that you work with. Any base of operation in affiliate promotion could be threatened by having a limited amount of partners and products, especially in the event that any one of them shuts down or becomes less than profitable. If you feel like you can easily advertise more products, don't hesitate in looking for more.
Using an affiliate network is a great marketing tip. Affiliate networks are a great way to connect to high quality advertisers for your site. The professionalism of the network webmaster you choose will help your affiliate marketing plan succeed. Working with networks that have been around a long time will boost your reputation.
Backlinks are an integral part of your affiliate promotion plan which means you must ensure that they link to relevant content, not deceptive. A reader clicking on a "No-cost ways to cure your insomnia" link does not want to end up on a page that barrages them with hard-sell tactics to buy insomnia supplements. Although you may have a legitimate reason for using this technique, any ad that links to a mismatched web page is going to seem deceitful to potential buyers.
Affiliate marketers need to keep sound goals in mind. Do not become complacent when you start gaining a little bit of income. There is never a point where you should just sit back and rest on your laurels. Launch more websites, begin a related blog – anything that will help you make more profits. Maintaining your pace and trying new things is what keeps your affiliate marketing profitable.
Only promote products that you would personally use. The products you recommend are a direct reflection on your status as a business person. Your business can build up a base of loyal and trusting customers, but only if its products are high quality. If you also offer the products with a fair price, you are on your way to building a loyal customer base.
In California, some affiliate marketers may have had their account suspended in 2011. It is now possible to re-install affiliate links on their website. The law that forced Amazon to drop their California clients has been changed, so they are again able to participate in the program. Be certain to do so if you were impacted by the developments.
Avoid adding too many banners to your site. Banners are unattractive from a design standpoint and may actually make you lose business. Make sure that there's a lot of content compared to ads, and that the ads are out of the way and well spaced so as not to overwhelm the content.
Look online for affiliate marketing forums where you can discuss ideas, learn new strategies and share tips. You'll find many online groups where users can share tips, advice, and even bits of code with other internet marketers.
Not every company that says they offer 100% commission is a scam. While at first glance, these programs may appear to be scams designed to cheat you out of your money, but take a second and study the fine print. Oftentimes, the 100-percent commission offered by these companies applies to the upfront sale only. In addition, you are usually excluded from receiving any profits from subscriptions. These can still make you money, so look closely when you see these offers.
Think of related items when inserting affiliate links. What about a link to a water ball that has a strap on it so they can easily carry it when walking their dog?
Affiliate Promotion
Use paid advertising to make the biggest profit from your programs. Try and get your ads to target popular keywords as a means to increase both your sales and the amount of visitors of your site. This should increase the amount of possible purchasers that have demonstrated interest in the products you are promoting.
Finding the proper product isn't going to be enough if you wish to become a great affiliate marketer. As you have seen, there is more to succeeding at affiliate promotion than just putting a link on a web page. This advice will be of service to you as you implement your own affiliate promotion strategy. Learn all you can, apply it well, and your affiliate efforts will reward your attention.
In order for your marketing business to be successful at start up, it is best to not start too big. This gives you a better shot at success, and you will learn as you progress. This will prepare you with the necessary skills once it's time to move on to larger things.

Moore gets a start in swan song
It will be the 34-year old's 97th Test start and eighth match against Scotland – with the hooker set to retire from all forms of the game following Saturday's clash.
While it will mark the end for the former captain, it's just the beginning for 21-year old Taniela Tupou.
The tighthead prop, known widely as 'the Tongan Thor', is set to make his long-awaited Test debut after completing his three-year residency requirement.
Fellow Queenslander Lukhan Tui will also return from injury via the bench, after suffering a hamstring strain against the Barbarians a month ago.
Scotland reclaimed the Hopetoun Cup in June of this year after a 24-19 win over the Wallabies in Sydney.
It's been a tight recent record between Australia and Scotland – with three wins apiece over the last six games, while just seven points have split the two sides in their last three meetings.
Australia: 15 Kurtley Beale, 14 Marika Koroibete, 13 Tevita Kuridrani, 12 Samu Kerevi, 11 Reece Hodge, 10 Bernard Foley, 9 Will Genia, 8 Sean McMahon, 7 Michael Hooper (captain), 6 Ben McCalman, 5 Blake Enever, 4 Rob Simmons, 3 Sekope Kepu, 2 Stephen Moore, 1 Scott Sio.
Replacements: 16 Tatafu Polota-Nau, 17 Tetera Faulkner, 18 Taniela Tupou, 19 Lukhan Tui, 20 Lopeti Timani, 21 Nick Phipps, 22 Karmichael Hunt, 23 Henry Speight.
Date: Saturday, November 25
Venue: Murrayfield, Edinburgh

Analysis of optimal sets and optimal constants: old questions and new results
Project details
Total cost:EUR 540 000
EU contribution:EUR 540 000
Coordinated in:Germany
Call for proposal:ERC-2010-StG_20091028See other projects for this call
Funding scheme:ERC-SG - ERC Starting Grant
The analysis of geometric and functional inequalities naturally leads to consider the extremal cases, thus
looking for optimal sets, or optimal functions, or optimal constants. The most classical examples are the (different versions of the) isoperimetric inequality and the Sobolev-like inequalities. Much is known about equality cases and best constants, but there are still many questions which seem quite natural but yet have no answer. For instance, it is not known, even in the 2-dimensional space, the answer of a question by Brezis: which set,
among those with a given volume, has the biggest Sobolev-Poincaré constant for p=1? This is a very natural problem, and it appears reasonable that the optimal set should be the ball, but this has never been proved. The interest in problems like this relies not only in the extreme simplicity of the questions and in their classical flavour, but also in the new ideas and techniques which are needed to provide the answers.
The main techniques that we aim to use are fine arguments of symmetrization, geometric constructions and tools from mass transportation (which is well known to be deeply connected with functional inequalities). These are the basic tools that we already used to reach, in last years, many results in a specific direction, namely the search of sharp quantitative inequalities. Our first result, together with Fusco and Maggi, showed what follows. Everybody knows that the set which minimizes the perimeter with given volume is the ball.
But is it true that a set which almost minimizes the perimeter must be close to a ball? The question had been posed in the 1920's and many partial result appeared in the years. In our paper (Ann. of Math., 2007) we proved the sharp result. Many other results of this kind were obtained in last two years.

Although we consider the fridge as a safe haven for foods, there are some food items that shouldn't find their place in the refrigerator just so the nutrients are preserved.
While we like to think of the fridge as a safe storage zone for all things food and drinks, there are a good number of food items that should not find a place in your refrigerator.
Although putting these foods in the fridge wouldn't cause any major harm but then you'd suffer a flavourless and a bit of tasteless food. To avoid losing the delicious, fresh and sweet taste that comes with certain foods, here are some foods that shouldn't be kept in the fridge.
Watermelons are best stored outside the fridge. Once refrigerated, they tend to break down and become powdery and grainy. So to keep the flavour intact, melons need to be stored at room temperature. However, after cutting, you should store the melons in the fridge for three to four days. Besides according to a USDA research, storage at room temp might help keep the antioxidants more intact.
Storing tomatoes in the fridge disrupts the texture and makes the tomato mealy because of the cold temperature.
The moisture of the fridge softens the onions and become mushy especially when left in the fridge for too long. Besides, cut onions tend to engulf the location it's currently in with its smell. You really don't want your entire fridge smelling like onion.
The cold temperature of the fridge breaks down the starch in potatoes and leaves you with a sweet or gritty potato, which rarely tastes good no matter what you do with it.
When left at room temperature for too long, bread can growth mould, but refrigeration will dry it out. So, if you've got more bread than you can finish, you can store in the refrigerator, but be sure to toast it the next time you want to eat it, that way you'd easily enjoy the crunchy taste that comes with a sandwich.
Refrigerating will cause honey to harden. It's best stored at room temperature and out of direct sunlight.
Fruits like apple, banana, avocado, orange, lemon, nuts and a bunch of others shouldn't be stored in the fridge because it will result in loss of flavours and textures.

Brendan Dassey moved to prison in Portage
One of the men convicted in the 2005 murder of Teresa Halbach has been moved to a different prison.
The state Department of Corrections' website shows Brendan Dassey has been moved from Green Bay Correctional Institution in Allouez to Columbia Correctional Institution in Portage. Dassey had been at GBCI since 2009.
The website does not give a reason as to why Dassey, 26, was moved.
Dassey and his uncle, Steven Avery, were convicted in separate trials in 2007. National interest in the case has exploded with the recent release of "Making a Murderer," a 10-part series about the case, on the video streaming service Netflix.
Avery is at Waupun Correctional Institution, where he has been since 2014. Before that, he was at the Wisconsin Secure Program Facility in Boscobel.

Why is sunscreen dangerous?
With the weather starting to brighten up we need to pay more attention to properly protecting our skin. Even though using sunscreen may seem like the right "health conscious" thing to do, you may be doing more harm than good! Some of the hazardous active ingredients in sunscreen may actually deplete the sun protecting actions.
Special attention needs to go into choosing the right sunscreen. Many sunscreens out there are packed full of hazardous chemicals. So you may be protecting your skin from sun damage but you are also polluting your body with unwanted chemicals. According to Environmental Working Group's (EWG) sunscreen guide many sunscreens contain possible skin irritants and hormone disruptors. EWG also states that the majority of the sunscreens on the market contain chemical filters such as: oxybenzone, avobenzone, octisalate, octocrylene, hemosalate and octinoxate. Make sure that you check the ingredients in your sunscreen for these unwanted chemicals.
Are there healthy alternatives?
Now enough about all the bad stuff and on to the good!! Thankfully we have other options out there with the plethora of natural sunscreens on the market today. Some can be a bit pricey but not all of them are. Sunscreens which contain zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are safe sunscreens which protect from the sun and aren't hazardous to your health.
Things to look for when purchasing sunscreen:
Waterproof- you want your sunscreen to last and not deplete from sweating
Natural ingredients and non-GMO
Check different sunscreens ratings on Environmental Working Group to make sure the ones you are purchasing are safe and free of hazardous chemicals
Health Canada Approved- this shows that the sunscreen has been clinically tested and deemed safe
Now, for my favourite organic sunscreens!!
Certified Organic Green Beaver I have tested many brands, and this one is definitely one of my favourites! It contains the active ingredient zinc oxide, you can find the complete ingredient list
2. Goddess Garden SFF 30 spray sunscreen
3. UVNatural Sport Sunscreen SPF 30+
Keep your skin and body healthy and safe this summer by using proper sunscreens!! Use this amazing resource, from Environmental Working Group, to find out if your sunscreen is safe for you and your family!!
Enjoy the sunshine!!

After filming weddings for 10 years, I've learned a thing or two about what I should wear when I go to work. If you look back at photos of me at weddings over the years, I'll be wearing some variation of essentially the same outfit. I've honed it down to be the most functional it can be while still being appropriate for a wedding. I thought it would be fun to share with my readers my "Anatomy of a Videographer's Uniform"!
A- Hair is pulled back into a side bun. If I were to wear it down, a few strands could blow in front of the lens and ruin a shot, or get into my eyes and obstruct my vision.
B- Earrings are the only place I allow myself a some color and non-functional decoration. This is a wedding after all, so I need to dress things up a little somehow! Sometimes I feel sorry for myself that I have to wear all dark colors to work (black is not my most flattering color), but the earrings make me feel better. ;)
C- The ties on this shirt are perfect for emergency lens cleaning when I go outside on a hot humid night after being inside in the AC for the reception. I've lent them to many a photographer too!
D- My work shirts have sleeves on them- for some reason when I wear a sleeveless shirt to a wedding it feels too casual (even though it would be mighty nice for those outdoor summer weddings!) They also can't be too low-cut because I lean over for lots of shots.
E- All my shirts have to be relatively long, and my pants relatively high waisted, in order to avoid giving your guests a plumbers crack treat when I crouch down for a shot.
F- My shoes are black, close-toed, and lace-up. I do a lot of running with my Steadicam and if I wore sandals they could flop around and make me trip- no bueno with thousands of dollars worth of equipment in your hands. It's really hard finding work shoes that are super comfortable for all-day standing but not also super ugly. Let me know if you have any shoe brands for me to check out- I'm due for a new pair!
G- It's very important that both Brent and I wear dark colors. Bright colors draw the eye, dark colors don't. So this allows us to recede into the background for both your guests and your photographer. I remember one of the first weddings I helped shoot while I was in college, I wore a white shirt. By the end of the night I swore to myself to never do that again- I felt so noticeable!
H- You can't see it, but there is a little bit of a belly bump there. At the time this pic was taken, I was 17 weeks preggo!

We had a wonderful tour, best part about visiting the Modena region!
The tour was perfect. I think Paolo would be a splendid ambassador for Italy in the EU. He knows how excellent Italian food and eating together can solve many major problems, and can stop aggressive behavior. Not the hunt for more money, but the well being of family and friends counts. Paolo shows us the products of ages of civilization and he did this like an artist. So after the tour we really love Italia more and we'll come back. We will call you Paolo, Thanks!
Following two tours with your guides this week I would like to express my thanks for some wonderful experiences.
Monday we did the tour of cheese making, balsamic and Salami which was very good and the guide Paolo was very knowledgeable.
The truffle hunt tour today was absolutely amazing, the guide Stefano is pure gold and the tour was built with much thought. Our best experience so far, by far.
Looking forward to more tours and fun next time we are in Italy.
The group (and me) was VERY satisfied. We really enjoyed the Parmegiano Regiano which was interesting and we got to buy some delicate and cheap cheese, the same with the balsamico. The Ferrari driving was off course an experience for life. The Winery lunch felt very genuine and the people there was really welcoming and nice people. The genuine feeling there was however the big plus for us.
Paolo was excellent as our guide. He also felt very genuine. He did not talk just for the sake of talking, but when he had something to say he did it in a respectful and nice way. Everyone in the group really liked him.
Thank you!
Hi Gabriele:
I wanted to let you know what a great day we had this past Friday on our tour with Jacamo. (Probably not spelling it right) He was very nice and explained everything to us. It sure gives you a new appreciation when you are slicing cheese. 🙂 Our tour ended with him taking us to the vineyard for a tour and lunch and there, Paolo, the owner could not have been more nicer. It was a perfect ending.
Please let Jacamo know what a great job he did and how much we really appreciated it and his knowledge
The website is well structured and we received a prompt answer to all questions. Gabriele supported us with all information we needed and the organization before the trip was excellent.
We had an air conditioned van, which was very relaxing through the whole tour. The first stop was the parmigiano production, which was very impressive and interesting. We could learn and especially see all the different steps and even taste the various aged parmigiano. The second step was the balsamic vinegar tasting. Finally the meat part was interesting in the museum but we hoped that we also could see more about the production and their work, but the tasting was delicious. In overall we had a very informative and well accommodated half day with our guide
It was great experience! We visited Parmesan cheese production, Balsamic vinegar farm, Ham museum and Farmer's lunch. Our guide gave us a detailed explanation, we were very satisfied. An excellent tour for a reasonable price, highly recommended.
Nous sommes une famille de cinq et nous avons adoré notre expérience. Les trois endroits étaient choisis judicieusement. Notre guide était très généreuse et super gentille. Nous recommandons ce tour ( parmesan, vinaigre balsamique et jambon de parme).
My family felt our first trip to Italy must include a tour of a Parmesan Cheese Factory so when I stumbled on this website several months ago I had no idea what I treasure I found! From the moment I submitted a request for the tour, my experience with Emilia Delizia was first rate. Gabriele provided excellent customer service by patiently answering all my questions to guide me through the selection and reservation of our Foodie Delight Tour. Paolo, our driver, was prompt, cordial and knowledgeable about the processes we were observing and the area in general conveying loads of information with his well-developed English speaking skills. Our stop in Modena fell on a Saturday so we were quite fortunate to end up with a private tour which allowed us to have a nice, personal interaction with the people at each site. Everyone was friendly, generous with the tastings and we never felt rushed to move along to the next location. Now that we have returned to the states, my family agrees this tour was a highlight of our 10 day trip. I was really looking forward to this excursion and am glad to report it exceeded my expectations.
Unbelievable!!! Totally recommend the full hour to anyone and was more than I expected.
I also want to recognize Alex Pignone who accompanied me,He was very professional and extremely knowledgeable and made me feel like I have known Him forever and where two friends out for a cruise.
Thank You for allowing me to get one more item off my bucket list.

partnership with the New Zealand Food
Safety Authority. At FSANZ we develop the Australia New
Zealand Food Standards Code (the Code) which
controls the use of ingredients, processing aids,
colourings, additives and vitamins in foods.
The Code also specifies the compositional
requirements of some foods (for example, dairy,
meat and beverages), and sets out which novel
food ingredients, food additives and processing
aids may be used in the food supply. Labelling
standards for both packaged and unpackaged
food, including specific mandatory warnings or
advisory labels, claims on foods and nutritional
information, are also our responsibility.
KEY WORDS: We develop food standards for both countries in consultation with other government agencies and stakeholders having regard for food regulatory policies which are endorsed by the Australia and New Zealand Food Regulation Ministerial Council (which includes the New Zealand Minister for Food Safety) and other committees.

Well, any donations after this will go into a dedicated account just for tulpa.info (unless otherwise specified in the notes, e.g. "I want this to go to Pleeb's credit card payment this month!"). I know some members have been calling for transparency before they'd feel comfortable donating, so that's just what they're going to get, and they'll get it to the highest degree. Every month we'll publish a report stating exactly what the donations for that month went to. For instance, "We got $30 this month, it went into advertising tulpa.info through banner ads" or "we used the donation to buy a MyBB Blog Plugin." How does that sound?

The EmployAble program, which provides supportive services along with their job placements, acquired the funds to include services for adults on the autism spectrum in 2014. Asked about the challenges faced by job seekers on the autism spectrum, Artz explains: "When people go to apply for a job, there's still a lot of concern on their end about disclosing or talking about it to their employer. And I think in some ways that is justified because there is still a lot of misunderstanding despite the fact [that] this is very prevalent, and this is sort of being a human, we still have a lot of stigma and anxiety around this." Explaining her outlook on helping the people she works with to seek employment, Randall says: "I see my role, in particular, as providing kind of a cross-cultural explanation of a group that's really not well understood. And it's very similar, when we listen to the issues, to any other minority groups in the past or currently who have a hard time being taken seriously, being respected, not having stereotypes put out there that are untrue."

Books Books Books! February's Book Recommendations
Pictured above: My friend Laura going through my bookshelf one relaxing Sunday evening.
Leon: Fast Vegetarian – Jane Baxter & Henry Dimbleby
This is so brilliant. I'm not a huge fan of cooking, although I'm getting more into as I get older and spend more time making my flat homely. I've finally got nesting-fever, and so my cook book collection is really piling up. This book is full of gorgeous and EASY(!) recipes. I made a Spinach & Squash bake last night which went down a treat. It's split out into Breakfast & Brunch, Pasta, Grains & Pulses, Pies & Bakes, Rice & Curry. YUM. All vegetarian with simple ingredients, yet nothing is boring.

Poems That Make Grown Women Cry – edited by Anthony and Ben Holden
Following on from the AWESOME Poems That Make Grown Men Cry, Anthony and Ben Holden (a father and soon duo) collaborated with Amnesty International to release this new anthology of poetry that WILL MAKE YOU CRY. They asked the same question to 100 remarkable women. "What poem has moved you to tears?" They are all brilliant and so different. You really learn more about the individuals featured in this book through what they have chosen. My favourite selections are from Yoko Ono, Judi Dench and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. This is a book to keep forever and dip into every now and again.
Buy here.
Headscarves and Hymens – Mona Eltahawy
The full title of this book is "Headscarves and hymens: Why the Middle East Needs a Sexual Revolution". This is an extremely powerful book that I urge everyone to read. It's an uncomfortable read, full of stats that will really shock you. Eltahawy traveled across the Middle East and North Africa listening to women's experiences and stories and included them in this book. You will probably be upset and angry reading it, because the numbers are horrific: at least 90% of married Egyptian women between the ages of 15 and 49 have undergone FGM, 47.2% of women have suffered domestic violence; in Egypt, 99.3% of women have experienced sexual harassment. This book is so important. A revolution is desperately needed.

More Letters of Note – Shaun Usher
This is the BEST. I am looking for a new coffee table just so that I can put the book on it. Is that a bit much? Well, who cares. It's a beautiful book. The letters are sweet, funny and moving. Includes Richard Burton's farewell note to Elizabeth Taylor, Helen Keller's letter to The New York Symphony Orchestra about 'hearing' their concert through her fingers, David Bowie's response to his first piece of fan mail from America and even Albus Dumbledore writing to a reader applying for the position of Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor at Hogwarts.

California State University Fullerton
Developed by V. Costa, Secondary Education, for EDSC 110.
A tutor who taught on the flute
Tried to teach two tooters to toot.
Said the two to the tutor,
"Is it harder to toot, or
To tutor two tooters to toot?"
Tutoring is a great way to help children learn. It offers an opportunity for one-on-one interaction, focused support for children's problem areas and a welcome break from typical classroom situations.
Speak simply and clearly. Use short, complete sentences in a normal tone of voice.
Use actions and illustrations to reinforce oral statements.
Use visual aids, prompts, and facial expressions to help convey meaning.
Avoid using slang or figures of speech; they often confuse learners.
Model correct usage, but respect that English language learners are trying to apply what they know about their first language to English.
Value the culture of the learner. Ask your students to teach you about the language and customs of their country of origin. Then try learning a few words in their language.
Ask for help. The number of languages spoken in the United States is astounding. You may be able to find someone who can give you more information about the culture and language of the students you tutor.
Encourage conversation. Have them read the problem or question and then tell you what it means in their own words.When Tutoring English Learners . . .

This presentation focused on
how to be an effective tutor.

Splendid... short but gets the message across.
This excellent video popped up in my Facebook news feed posted by Andrew Panton on the Just Jane facebook page and made by a local student. Thought I would share here.
Once you've tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and there you long to return
Splendid... short but gets the message across.
It reminded me of the Silksheen poem but I cannot remember how it goes but ends something like, "my lovely Silksheen"
TA out
I personally think that's the closest you will ever get to see her flying.......
An excellent film, well done!
bloody ripper !
Cheer's all far and WIDE!! , Tally Ho from Phil in Oz!
Very nice.
Daren Cogdon
Spitfire fanatic
R4118 - Whats makes you think so? If they raise the funds its highly possible she will.
I feel the need, the need for speed.....or a Spitfire will do.
I'm pretty sceptical if I'm honest! It's a massive risk for the museum i mean there's not a massive amount of other stuff to keep people coming through the door if anything happend to her! (Just my opinion!) .....I certainly don't think it will be a regular flyer if she does ever get airborne.
The year they aim to get her flying seems to keep changing too I've noticed but that may be my suspicious mind with that one
I simply cannot imagine the family 'throwing in the towel' after all these years. It means too much to them - the money will come in because of their commitment.
Glad you all like the video, we were very suprised and touched with what Jason (the student) achieved.
Just in reply to R4118, we have never set a date on when NX will fly due to the huge project it is and the possibility of parts of the project taking longer than expected, the wings for example. The Press on the otherhand...... they love to put a timescale on it whether its right or not! What's the saying, "don't let the truth get in the way of a good story"....
Hopefully you will all see over the past 2 years and in the next 9 years the physical work on the airframe has, and will, ramp up.
This last year has seen the first airframe sections overhauled/restored with the stbd fin and rudder.
Next winter will see the port fin and rudder completed and we then move on to the fuselage sections.
The centre section and wings will be the last to be done in case of spar booms being required (each year we complete more surveys to investigate the wings). This is because the wings are the biggest job on the aircraft and therefore the most costly. We will gauge the CAA/warbird operating scene at this point to be sure that there would be nothing to stop NX flying such as insurance, AvGas, CAA rules and regs as we will be several years in the future from now and many things could change.
Hi All,
Trolly Aux - This the one ? (Courtesy of:- http://www.in-touch.ukvet.net/121/121old.htm )
by W Scott ex -630 Squadron
No. 630 Squadron was formed on 15th November 1943, at East Kirkby (codename Silksheen), near Spilsby, Lincolnshire , and remained based there throughout its existence. Equipped with Lancasters , it formed part of No. 5 Group and between 18/19th November 1943 and 25th April 1945, took part in many major raids, including each of the 16 big raids made by Bomber Command on the German capital during what became known as the "Battle of Berlin".
I lie here, still, beside the hill
Abandoned long to Natures will.
My buildings down. My people gone.
My only bounds, the wild birds song.
But my mighty birds will rise no more.
No more I hear the Merlins roar.
And never now my bosom feels
The pounding of their giant wheels.
From the ageless hill their voices cast
Thunderous echoes of the past.
And still in lonely reverie
Their great dark wings sweep down on me.
Laughter, sorrow, hope and pain,
I shall never know these things again.
Emotions that I came to know
Of strange young men so long ago.
Who knows as evening shadows meet
Are they with me still, a phantom fleet?
And do my ghosts still stride unseen
Across my face so wide and green?
And in the future should structures tall
Bury me beyond recall
I shall still remember them,
My metal birds, and long-dead men.
Now weeds grow high, obscure the sky.
O remember me when you pass by.
For beneath this tangled, leafy screen
I was your home, your friend Silksheen.
The poem contributed by Freda Carnell
Hi All,
As regards to seeing JJ flying again well it will if Andrew and the team along with us all want it to fly funding will be the deciding factor, the cash
we donate and to then continue donate to the project on top of what Andrew and the team put into it personally to make it and keep it airworthy.
Like a member on the forum said given enough funding anything in theory is possible, basically it comes down to us and the continual backing
with funds to see this beautiful aircraft fly again as a legacy to all three Panton brothers (RIP Chris and Fred) first an foremost and a flying memorial to
those in Bomber Command (RIP all those who perished).
"She Will Fly Again"...
Well I wouldn't bet on it. Maybe they should give Red Bull a ring?
it is strange how this thread has gone negative so quickly. Most readers support projects when the aims are clearly laid out and those involved have demonstrated a track record , certainly East Kirkby has been one of the better places for aviation heritage.
Well maybe the Panton family should listen to the doubters, i mean what did two farmers ever think they would achieve anyway.
Its not like they bought a Lancaster, set up an aviation museum and memorial to Bomber Command thats been open for 30 years, restore the lancaster to taxying condition, employ 3 highly skilled aircraft engineers with over 100 years warbird experience, employ over 25 more people to keep the memorial alive and working, receive the blessing of the CAA to restore the Lancaster to airworthy condition, own possibly the largest collection of privately owned Merlins in Europe and make it all accessible to anyone who wants to visit all WITHOUT any external funding.
Now if they had achieved all that they may just think that with hard work, dedication, commitment, the sacrifice of the majority of their spare time, every penny they could spare and a bit of luck they may be able to achieve the final dream of restoring NX611 to airworthy and a bit of belief in their abilities.
But nevermind i guess it'll never work, after all they are/were just a couple of old farmers from Lincolnshire.
Has the museum said how much they plan on flying her?
Since the BBMF Lancaster has the flypast trade pretty much sewn-up, I'd think they don't HAVE to fly her a great deal.
Let's face it, since she'll be only the third of her type flying, they don't need to fly it a lot. Just having an airworthy Lancaster is enough to draw visitors and supporters.
I wish them the best of luck.
There are two sides to every story. The truth is usually somewhere between the two.
Andrew, very well said!
Some of us have every confidence in the work on NX611, which is inspirational.
Just ignore the doom-mongers and nay-sayers, you will have the last laugh.
If only they would have bought that Halifax for 100 pounds when they got the chance. Other than that I think they have done very well with the whole lot.
I have no doubt in my mind that Just Jane will be airworthy and be the second flying Lancaster resident in the UK skies.
If I go back to the early 70s the thought of seeing a B17, B25, P51, P47, Spitfires by the squadron Hurricanes a Blenheim all kinds of Eastern block Migs Yaks Bf109s, Buchons the list could go on people would of said your dreaming of seeing any of those now days, now days are here and I thank each and every owner operator for taking the time money and effort to bring me the visions I see in the skies of the UK
To the Pantons and all involved at EK a thank you for taking this on, thank you for saving this aeroplane I cannot wait but wait I will.
TA out
Can't help thinking that with a spare set of Halifax (Ok Hastings) mainplanes available in Canada a static Halifax could be reconstructed at Eeast Kirkby in memory of Christopher Panton.
Wishful thinking? Yes but why not.
Having paid 2 bob (or was it half a crown) to sit in the pilots seat at Biggin, and watched it in the circuit on summers evenings from the back garden after Mr Williams exploits, i have no doubt she will fly again, and i'm sure the Pantons will do it. We always used to know it as just H A P as kids.
H.A.P.S historic aircraft preservation society, they also imported the Sabre from Italy
I have no connection with the Panton family, but I have immense respect for what they have achieved, are continually achieving and (I have no doubt) will achieve. They should be receiving the full support of everyone with any interest in Bomber Command. They should also be receiving gratitude and encouragement from everyone on this forum for their incredible achievements. They are a family, amateurs if you will, and reading such negative comments as some on here must hurt them deeply. All I can say to them is 'Thank you and keep up the excellent work that you are doing.
Hi All,
As far as her Flypast appearances goes IMPO they have a bright future, Who would not like to see two Lancaster's flying together on a regular basis ?
Personally I never got to see the Canadian Lanc but would love to have and I am pretty certain that I am not alone in this.
Obviously the BBMF Lanc cannot attend all Flypast or Air-Show dates due to Already being booked elsewhere/Airframe Hr's limits or Unserviceability ? So
there is a Mkt admittedly a small one but none the less if the BBMF cancel for whatever reason JJ could capitalise on that. Not only that but I imagine that
the BBMF have to say no to many,many other requests again JJ could capitalise here as well.
So IMPO the future for both Lanc's is very bright indeed especially JJ makes the project well worth all the effort the EK crew are putting in to the project,
not only that but dare I tempt fate a three ship formation ? ? ?
Just carry on and never mind the naysayers get her in the air where she belongs.
all the effort in to making her airworthy again.
I know I would watch 2 lanc's and yes bring over the 3rd lanc, we have none flying here in oz, I? have seen the one static and chopped about a bit
Cheer's all far and WIDE!! , Tally Ho from Phil in Oz!

This Vending Machine Sells Short Stories Instead Of Soda & Chips
Fiction writing just got high tech, and we're loving it.
The next time you hear some dude say, "Nobody reads anymore"?—?send him this article.
A startup in France just made short-story dispensers that give people a free, original story with the push of a button?—?much like a vending machine.
Here's a photo of one:
The French company Short Édition began as a free publishing platform for amateur writers. Soon, they had more than 10,000 contributors. The company's founders had the idea for a short story generator as they chatted around a vending machine during a work break.
"The written word isn't dead," company head Christophe Sibieude tells the New Yorker. The novelty of a physical text still exists, only now it's adapted for our modern lifestyles. It's as easy to pick up a story as it is to grab a cup of coffee during your morning commute.
The dispensers spit stories out on receipt paper. You can choose between one-, three- or five-minute reading times. The stories come from Short Édition's arsenal of tens of thousands of pieces. Online, users vote for their favorite stories. Some are published as e-books, audiobooks or (yes) traditional books, and others make their way into the vending machines.
In 2015, Short Édition installed the first dispensers in public spaces in Grenoble, a town in the French Alps. The goal was to get more people talking about literature and storytelling.
The machines have since spread throughout France, Hong Kong and Australia?—?and are starting to pop up in the US. Filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola was the first to rent a machine here in America. He put it in his San Francisco restaurant, Café Zoetrope. There's also a Short Édition machine on the Penn State campus and another at the Prudential Center in Boston.
So the next time someone claims people don't read anymore, maybe the fact that over 600,000 stories have been distributed will change his mind. It proves that it can be worth taking a break from your Instagram feed to read a good story.
The end.

DAYTON -- The first building at the Port of Columbia's new eco-food processing park -- called the Blue Mountain Station -- is open for business.
Three tenants already have set up shop in the Artisan Food Center and an indoor winter farmers market will open there next month.
The center is 6,912 square feet and includes a commercial kitchen for rent by the hour, five food processing bays and a retail area. It's at 700 Artisan Way, off Highway 12 just west of Dayton
The center will be an awesome place to start up a new business, said Suzi Tasker of Dayton. She makes several gluten-free varieties of granola packaged under the Gypsy Girl Granola label.
Tasker leased the first bay. Two others have been leased by Reggie Mace, owner of Mace Mead Works, and Little Dipper Dairy, owned by Terissa and Andy Churchhill, all of Dayton.
In addition to the food processing businesses, a group of Dayton area specialty food producers, craftsmen and artists are forming a cooperative to sell everything from eggs and cheese, to wine, photographs, wood furniture and handmade soap.
Members of the cooperative will be selling their wares in the retail area of the new building at an indoor market from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays through Memorial Day weekend. The first day of the market will be Feb. 1.
"The hope is to generate enough traffic that we can stay open more days and longer, eventually being open daily, year round," said Tasker, who manages the indoor market.
Tasker also has contacted Walla Walla Community College, offering the Artisan Food Center as a site for cooking classes as well. She hopes to get them to set up this spring.
"I don't know of anything quite like this," she said of the center.
The building was designed with windows into the food processing bays, allowing the public a peek at how the different foods are made.
"People love to see the process, from the raw ingredients to the packaged food," Tasker said.
The idea for the eco-food processing plant started almost six years ago shortly after Jennie Dickinson, Port of Columbia manager, was hired.
"We did a marketing survey and found Dayton was ideal for artisan food processing and food tourism. We already have wineries and a man producing mead. We have Monteillet Fromagerie and others making goat cheese. We're already a destination spot for foodies," Dickinson said.
The port announced plans for the Blue Mountain Station in 2008. The following year, the port received a $1 million grant from the Washington State Community Economic Revitalization Board to buy 28 acres off Highway 12 just west of the city limits.
In 2011, the port used part of the money to improve eight acres with parking, water, sewer and roads. Last spring, Western States Construction received the contract to build the Artisan Food Center, which was completed last month.
"It's been a long time coming and was frustrating sometimes, having to wait for the money to come in," Dickinson said.
The $1.25 million Artisan Food Center incorporates the latest ecologically friendly construction techniques, making it extremely energy efficient, she said. The landscaping too will be ecologically friendly, with native plants making it attractive for people who care about the environment.
"We're not zealots, but energy smart. It's good business," Dickinson said.
For more information on the indoor market in the Artisan Food Center, contact Suzi Tasker, firstname.lastname@example.com.
