We Are Called To Rise by Laura McBride
Published by Simon & Schuster UK
Published 23 April 2015 (first published 3 June 2014)
400 pages
Library book
An immigrant boy whose family is struggling to assimilate. A middle-aged housewife coping with an imploding marriage and a troubled son. A social worker at home in the darker corners of Las Vegas. A wounded soldier recovering from an injury he can't remember getting. By the time we realize how these voices will connect, the impossible and perhaps the unbearable has already happened. We Are Called to Rise is a boomtown tale, in which the lives of people from different backgrounds and experiences collide in a stunning coincidence. When presented the opportunity to sink into despair, these characters rise. Through acts of remarkable charity and bravery, they rescue themselves. Emotionally powerful yet tender and intimate, We Are Called to Rise is a novel of redemption and unexpected love.OPENING
THERE WAS A YEAR of no desire.WHAT I THOUGHT
This is my first time reading the author. I chose this book because I've heard a lot of good things about it.
I loved We Are Called To Rise even though it made me furious at times, especially in the final chapters. This novel is much more complex than it appears to be. The characters are well-written and interesting and come from an array of vastly different backgrounds. The main incident in the novel or rather how this is handled made me furious. A cop misinterprets a situation, presses his trigger and set in motion a series of devastating events that will change the lives of many other characters. The cop is a highly decorated Iraq veteran so his superiors do everything in their power to cover up the truth of what happened and have his actions seen as justified. I was furious by this. His actions in no way were justified. We Are Call To Rise is an example of how paranoid and messed up some American's are. The woman was an immigrant from Afghanistan and is therefore perceived as a threat by the cop. I found myself enraged while reading the last few chapters. As far as I am concerned the cop is a murderer and should rot in jail. My heart went out to the woman's family who will never see justice for what happened and had to listen to awful lies. There is the possibility of redemption at the end when the cop's mother goes to see the chief of police and tells him how dangerous her son has become since he came home from Iraq, dangerous, violent and paranoid and beating his wife is just one example of this. I liked the structure of the novel, each chapter is from the viewpoint of a different character. I loved the setting of Las Vegas. I don't think I've ever read fiction set in Vegas before so it made a nice change. I found the plot compelling but the attitude towards the characters who were Afghans made me furious. The cop's actions and attitude represent what a lot of American's believe - that anyone who is an immigrant or has a foreign accent is a threat.RATING

Ohio Close to Allowing Alkaline Hydrolysis
An Ohio funeral home that was blocked from dissolving bodies using lye and heat has joined a funeral directors' group in pushing for the state to legalize the process.
Under a bill in the Ohio House, the state would recognize alkaline hydrolysis as a separate legal, regulated form of disposition, rather than lumping it in with traditional cremation, as some states have done. The bill was introduced in March after a judge's ruling blocked Edwards Funeral Service in Columbus from using the process, which involves the corrosive chemical lye, heat and sometimes extra pressure in a large metal cylinder. The method turn remains into a liquid that could be poured down a drain and a dry bone residue that can be given to relatives or buried.
Edwards was the first U.S. funeral business known to publicly offer alkaline hydrolysis and used the method in 19 cases before the state Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors and the Ohio Department of Health stepped in with permit restrictions. They didn't believe the method was legal under state law.
Edwards filed a lawsuit asking the court to block enforcement of the restrictions, alleging the groups didn't have the authority to keep the funeral home from using the procedure. A Franklin County judge disagreed, saying in March that the board and the department have the authority to determine which disposition methods are allowed but that officials might want to consider whether to change existing rules to allow for the use of alkaline hydrolysis.
Funeral home owner Jeff Edwards said he doesn't plan to appeal the decision but instead will join efforts to get the new bill approved.
"I guess it's easier to work together," he said.
Proponents say alkaline hydrolysis has lower operating costs and is more environmentally friendly than traditional cremation because it doesn't cause the emissions that incineration does, such as carbon dioxide and mercury from dental fillings. But skeptics question whether it's safe for the environment and public health, along with the social implications of disposing of someone's remains down a drain.
The Ohio Department of Health hasn't taken a position on the bill and is still in the early stages of discussing alkaline hydrolysis, spokeswoman Tessie Pollock said. The head of the embalmers board did not respond to a message seeking comment.
The bill's sponsor, Republican Rep. Bob Hackett of London, said it's clear that the Ohio Funeral Directors Association wanted to make sure the method would be properly used and regulated if it's included in state law. He said the information he's reviewed indicates the method is safe but that lawmakers would welcome environmental concerns or other testimony from opponents when a committee of lawmakers considers the bill.
Jeff Edwards is also optimistic about the measure becoming law and said he's looking forward to offering alkaline hydrolysis again. While his legal case played out, more than a dozen people pre-planning arrangements with his funeral home selected the method, even though it wasn't currently available, Edwards said.
"It's kind of silly for Ohio to keep bucking a solution that is consumer-preferred and good for the environment as compared to a fire-based cremation," he said.
Half a dozen states in recent years have opened the door for the use of alkaline hydrolysis, in some cases by changing how they define cremation and removing references to flame or direct heat. The Anderson-McQueen Funeral Home in St. Petersburg, Fla., has started offering the method, and the Maine Coast Crematory in Searsport, Maine, got its alkaline hydrolysis machine last month.
The Mayo Clinic in Minnesota and the University of Florida have used the process, also known as resomation, for human cadavers. It's been used for two decades on animal carcasses.

The hour calls for optimism; we'll save pessimism for better times.
—Jean-Claude Servais
A great many people, myself included, have understandably used the word "shock" to describe Donald Trump's election and the first months of his presidency. Though he breaks the mold in some ways, Trump's tactics do follow a script, one familiar from other countries that have had rapid changes imposed under the cover of crisis. In his first week in office, for example, Trump signed a tsunami of executive orders that had people reeling, madly trying to keep up. Since then, he's never allowed the atmosphere of chaos and crisis to let up.
But as I've reflected on the word "shock" while writing No Is Not Enough, I started to question its accuracy in this context. A state of shock is produced when a story is ruptured, when we have no idea what's going on. But in so many ways, Trump is not a rupture at all, but rather the culmination—the logical end point—of a great many dangerous stories our culture has been telling for a very long time. That greed is good. That the market rules. That money is what matters in life. That white men are better than the rest. That the natural world is there for us to pillage. That the vulnerable deserve their fate, and the 1 percent deserve their golden towers. That anything public or commonly held is sinister and not worth protecting. That we are surrounded by danger and should only look after our own. That there is no alternative to any of this.
Given these stories are, for many of us, part of the very air we breathe, Trump really shouldn't come as a shock. A billionaire president who boasts he can grab women by their genitals while calling Mexicans "rapists" and jeering at the disabled is the logical expression of a culture that grants indecent levels of impunity to the ultrarich, that is consumed with winner-take-all competition, and that is grounded in dominance-based logic at every level. We should have been expecting him. And indeed, many of those most directly touched by the underbelly of Western racism and misogyny have been expecting him for a long time.
So maybe the emotion beneath what some have been calling "shock" is really, more accurately, horror. Specifically, the horror of recognition that we feel when we read effective dystopian fiction or watch good dystopian films. All stories of this genre take current trends and follow them to their obvious conclusion—and then use that conclusion to hold up a mirror and ask: Do you like what you see? Do you really want to continue down this road? These nightmare futures are horrifying precisely because they're not shocking—not a break with our underlying stories, but their fulfillment. I've come to believe that we should see America's first nuclear-armed reality-TV president in a similar fashion: as dystopian fiction come to life. Trump is a mirror, held up not only to the United States but to the world. If we don't like what we see—and throngs of us clearly do not—then it is clear what we need to do.

Gold remains in limbo
Gold's $20 purgatory continues – stuck between $1200 and $1220 for yet another day, frustrating both sides of the trade. It has drifted through the November uptrend line, while a gradual decline in the daily relative strength index and other momentum indicators points to a lack of buying pressure.
As before, a close below $1200 would be the bearish signal many are waiting for, but this has yet to transpire. If it does, then we look to the 2015 low around $1180 and then to $1150.
A breakout must clear $1220, the major upside barrier. A bullish crossover of the 20- and 50-period exponential moving averages on the four-hour chart would be the needed signal for a rally, and this is perhaps the most helpful timeframe to watch at present.
Silver's bearish momentum returns
Two days ago we witnessed yet another test of the downtrend off the January highs and it seems silver has regained its bearish momentum as a result. The $16.50 level continues to act as resistance, along with the downtrend line, while the drop of the RSI back below its 10-day moving average points to the likelihood of another test of the $16 support zone.
The crossover of the 50-hour MA below its 200-hour counterpart confirms the bearish trend, although sellers may want to wait for the hourly SMI to push back towards overbought levels before diving in. Only a move through $16.60 negates the bearish outlook.
Brent's RSI waning
Brent finds itself again inside a narrowing wedge formation, as the bounce from the lows of Monday runs into the downtrend from Monday's high. Rising support should enter around the $60 area, along with the 200-hour MA, but moves above $60.80 seem to be capped for now.
Even so, the zone from $62.50 to $63 seems to be the real problem for bulls – a breakout above here targets the 100-DMA at $66, but a declining daily RSI makes this a tall order.
WTI eyes $55
WTI's bounce from the support zone between $48 and $49 has resulted in a potential bullish crossover on the four-hour chart, as the 20-period EMA crosses above its 50-period counterpart. The $51 area has proven to be resistance in recent days so a close above here on the four-hour chart would signal fresh momentum has been found.
Crossover watchers might beware however, since the stochastic momentum index on the same chart is at overbought levels. Should a crossover materialise then longs would perhaps be best served by waiting for the first pullback, perhaps back towards the $50 mark, before taking a position.
A bullish crossover on the daily SMI and a move above the 10-DMA for the RSI on the same timeframe suggests, however, that another try to break $55 is on the cards here.

Brief Review of Czech and Slovak Dipterological Literature 1758-1965
The dipterological literature of the post-Linnean period published on the territory of today's Czechoslovakia may be divided into a number of relatively crystallised periods in coincidence with the development of the whole entomology in our country. The first stage (1758-1903) which, in fact, includes the real "historical" period of Czechoslovak dipterology is naturally boundered by the foundation of the Czech Entomological Society in 1904. The second stage (1904-1938) includes the years of the first upswing of scientific dipterology in this country. In those times due to the Moravian dipterologists, some more works were issued, exceeding the national importance. The third stage (1939-1950) was marked by an expressive fall of entomologic research and a resulting decline of dipterological production under the influence of World War II and its consequences. In the fourth stage (1951-1965) a distinct and successively presented ascention of the young generation of dipterologists can be seen. Their results, especially of the last years, present s new, to this time unprecedented upswing of Czechoslovak dipterology.
The first references were published by SCOPOLI, 1772 (Bombylius minimus from the environs of Kremnica in Slovakia) and the native authors MAYER (1779) and PREYSSLER (4 papers, 1790-1793). PREYSSLER described in 1790 s new species from Bohemia - Asilus bohemicus - and among the descriptions from the following years he introduces more than 50 species of Diptera, 22 of them for the first time at all. The first purely dipterological study is the "Monographia bombyliorum Bohemiae" by J. Ch. MIKAN (1796).
The most important and most prolific dipterist of that time in Bohemia was VIMMER, who published some 250 articles, papers and books during the period 1899 to 1947. These publications were devoted to the taxonomy and faunistics, e. g. the Catalog of Bohemian Diptera (1913a) or the Key to Czechoslovak genera of flies (1931a), and also to the morphology, bionomics, comparative morphology of larvae and pupae, economic importance of flies, etc. His work on the preimaginal stages of Diptera (1925d) is specially worth of mentioning. PASTEJŘÍK (7 papers 1905-1908) and WEINFURTER (4 papers, 1906-1907) published minor papers on faunistics and preimaginal stages. ŠTĚPÁN (8 papers 1923-1938) dealt with some aquatic Diptera; B. STARÝ (1930-1950), with mining Diptera and their mines. The papers by KOMÁREK (4 papers 1923-1948) on Blephariceridae, Culicidae, etc., are also noteworthy, though only a few of them refer to the Czechoslovak fauna. Some data were contributed by BAŤA, ROUBAL, ŠAMAL, etc. and many foreign authors, e. g., BISCHOFF, BREHM, BECKER, CZERNY, DUDA, KRAMER, LACKSCHEWITZ, OLDENBERG, STEIN P., etc.
This period is characterised by a decrease in the number of papers published. Provided we do not consider those leading dipterists whose main productive time was before this period (BAYER, LANDROCK, VIMMER, ZAVŘEL), we find that JACENTKOVSKI (29 papers 1933-1944) published many valuable taxonomical or faunistic papers on Tachinidae, Sarcophagidae and Calliphoridae. The cecidiologist BAUDYŠ continued to publish extensively. Mainly in the second half of this period there appear papers on Diptera important in the fields of public health or hydrobiology. BREINDL & KOMÁREK (1940-1941), HAVLÍK & ROSICKÝ (1949) and KRAMÁŘ (see below) dealt with Culicidae, HRABĚ (5 hydrobiological papers 1938-1946) with Chironomidae, HRBÁČEK (1945) with Stratiomyid larvae.
The period from 1950 on is characterised by substantially increasing publishing activity, producing papers which represent a modern end exhaustive approach to the study of Czechoslovak dipterous fauna. The number of publishing authors, tho number of published papers and the co-operation between authors were evaluated.

The hardest part was choosing the style font and playing with colors - so many fun choices! Did you know that our 150 BX Font capable digitizers have published over 50,000 alphabet collections! Machine Embroider-ers are creative artists and being able to spend time in their Embrilliance software to play and try out different fonts and colors and layouts is all part of the fun. Its not work when you're smiling and saying "OOH that one looks cool!" It just takes one time of typing out a saying like this with the lettering tool, trying out 10 different font styles by simply choosing another one from the pulldown menu, to realize that no other software company has come close to making your life easier with such a time saving software capability. BX installable fonts are exclusive to Embrilliance. We are proud and happy to promote all of those digitizers who take the time to publish their alphabets as BX files. Starting this weekend on Small Business Saturday, Embrilliance will be sharing posts and photos from our partner digitizers on our Embrilliance Facebook page.

2. Be Present
Humans not only remember the past or imagine the future, But we also have the ability to "time-shift": to transform ourselves to a time other than the present and really experience what that moment would be like. This package of experience is not only cognitive and rational: when we time-shift we re-experience the emotions of the past or experience what we expect to feel in the future. For example, when you contemplate a dangerous and frightening situation, your heart rate goes up and you may start to sweat, as if you were actually encountering a dangerous situation in the present moment. The blessing of time-shifting then becomes a curse.

16-year-old girl raped by dance teacher, three others
The fact that Delhi is unsafe for women was once again driven home with a 16-year-old girl being raped by her dance teacher and three others in Vikaspuri area of west Delhi. HT reports.delhi Updated: Jul 09, 2011 23:54 IST
The fact that Delhi is unsafe for women was once again driven home with a 16-year-old girl being raped by her dance teacher and three others in Vikaspuri area of west Delhi.
This is the sixth rape case that has been reported in less than a week. The rise in number of crimes against women has questioned the police commissioner's remarks that the Capital is safe for women.
The 16-year-old was raped on July 5 at DKS Dance School, in E-block, Lal Market, Vikaspuri.
The incident came to light on July 6 when the girl's parents approached the police to lodge a missing person complaint. In his complaint, the girl's father said that on July 5 the girl had gone to attend her dance classes and had not returned. Initially, the family thought she might have gone to a relative's house. But when she could not be traced, they lodged a complaint.
During investigation, police found that the girl was last seen at the DKS Dance School. On questioning, the dance school staff revealed that Gulshan had kept the girl at his Dabri residence. "We raided Gulshan's Dabri residence and rescued the victim. In her statement, she said she had been raped by Gulshan and three others. The girl's medical examination has confirmed rape," the officer added.
The girl said that after the dance class got over, Gulshan asked her to accompany him to a nearby park. Later, Gulshan brought her back to the dance school where she was raped.
"We have arrested the dance instructor, Gulshan Kumar Sharma (20), who was known to the victim and his friend Ram (22). The other two are juveniles and we have apprehended them, too," said a senior police officer.
Police said they will also question the dance school's owner to check why no security guard had been deployed there.

Chapter 4 - Not Hard INTRODUCTION The dictionary defines "cuckold" as "a man with an unfaithful wife." I've read many "hot wife" stories, and visited all the cuckold web sites, but it is clear that people have many of their own definitions of a cuckold. It has been my deepest fantasy to be cuckolded

Finders Keepers site recently…and Forgotten Films appears to be the source of the Finders release, as their logo is displayed onscreen once the closing credits are over. I will not lie to you: it's a very rough (though certainly watchable) print—so uneven that, for example, some of the movie's narration has gone missing…and that narration comes courtesy of our obedient servant Orson Welles (Orson agreed to the gig for $25, then donated the money to charity). There are marked differences between the 1940 and 1960 versions, naturally; you're not going to find that silly animal steeplechase (though one of the characters in the 1940 film does ride an ostrich briefly) or the business with the pirates, and the Disney version adds another female character for a little love interest, if you know what I mean…and I think you do.

Addendum: Linda Young corrected me on Facebook that the "animal steeplechase" I described as Disney's flight of fancy is in Wyss' novel; I haven't cracked open the book since I was a youngster, and I honestly didn't remember it being in there. In addition, with regards to the pirates Linda notes: "…I thought Disney had made the pirates up out of whole cloth until recently, until I discovered there are actually two versions of the book!" She further goes on to say: "There is another version of the book, with something like thirty more chapters that continues where Wyss senior left off, written by a French woman, and the attack of the pirates (originally "savages," so you can see Uncle Walt cleaned that up) come from that."
Disney and Wyss also introduce a second female character (the "love interest" I alluded to in the review) into the Robinson's narrative…only they approach this in different directions: in the Wyss version, she's a woman discovered on a neighboring island while Uncle Walt presents her as a gal living among the pirates disguised as a cabin boy. Be that as it may, I needed to put together this mea culpa and I'm most grateful to Linda for keeping me honest.

Hi All
Thanks for taking the time out to look at my page and hopefully you can assist me in finding out about this watch.
I know who it is made by, but what I am looking for is for the date it was made.... I suspect it to be WW2 (so 1940s) but may be wrong, I do not know if the strap is original or not.
I do know that it came from an estate which has military links to the UK Forces, but not the U.S forces, which is whom this was issued too.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, is it worth having the hands restored as the luminous paint has long since gone from them, or is it best to leave it as it is?
I do not wish to devalue the watch in any way, if indeed it is valuable. I wouldn't sell it anyway for it has great sentimental value which far out weighs ANY monetary value it may have. I would be interested to know if it needs adding to the contents cover of the insurance policy on our home or not, or would it be automatically covered. My insurance covers watches up to the value of £500 automatically, so if worth less then at least my insurance won' go up.
Any information at all will be very gratefully received.
Thank you in advance

You may not realize this, but when you put your email address on your website, you are essentially inviting an exponential increase in the amount of spam you receive. Software is used by the spam industry to crawl your site much like the bots used by search engines; however, the spam industry is only looking for email addresses. Once your email address has been harvested, you will be added to marketing lists that are sold to any Joe Spammer who pays $50 for 5 million email addresses. It is virtually impossible to get off one of these lists.
So, what can you do to help prevent this? Well, the first thing you can do is make it harder for the evil bots to get your email address. Introducing the Retrix Email-Scrambler-o-Matic! With a little ingenuity, we can scramble your email address so that to an evil bot, it just looks like a bunch of gobbledygook. But to a web browser, it looks and works exactly like a real email address link. Here's an example of what we mean:
Our support email address is firstname.lastname@example.com. For you reading this, it looks like we've just exposed our address to the evil bots about which we've been warning you. But if you view the source of the HTML on this page, you will see that our email address is actually written like this:
support @retrix.com
Fancy, isn't it? We've made our scrambler open for anyone to use. Just enter your address on the page, and then copy the resulting HTML code into your site. Happy scrambling!

The spending plan also includes a $10 million increase in funding for graduate medical education, bringing the total to $100 million.
State Health Commissioner Mary O'Dowd outlined the specifics during a news conference on Friday. She noted that the hospital funding proposed for the coming fiscal year was not reduced despite a $32 million decrease in charity care expenses in 2011 - the year the department used to create its formula.
Charity care funds are used to offset the cost of treating the working poor and uninsured residents.
Betsy Ryan, president and chief executive officer of the New Jersey Hospital Association, said the group was "very grateful" that the same funding level was retained for charity care, but noted that it was less than the actual amount of care provided.
O'Dowd said the budget also includes another $167 million in an incentive program for hospitals that improve the quality of care they deliver in certain areas.
Hospitals will apply for the funding and will be required to show they've improved care in areas such as asthma or behavioral health, O'Dowd said. However, the criteria for the program has not yet been finalized.

Imagine that one day you woke up and looked out your window to see that an entire mountain was missing. You hear constant explosions that are so violent they crack the foundation of your house. The tap water turns black. The small creek in your backyard fills with a foul smelling, poisonous sludge. Unnatural floods destroy the only bridge to your town, and even carry off your dog. Think this is a scene from a third world country or a war zone? This is happening in West Virginia, right here in the United States of America.
Last Thursday, I attended the Coastal Conservation League Film Festival. The feature film was called simply "Mountaintop Removal Mining." This is just what it sounds like. The Coal companies literally blast up to 800 feet of elevation clear off the top of a mountain in order to access coal deposits beneath them. They use huge machines called drag lines to scrape away the tons of rock. Thanks to an administrative "correction" made in 2002 to redefine the list of acceptable fill materials, the "overburden", which is the polite name for all the debris that used to be a mountaintop, can now be dumped directly into the valleys, choking off streams and destroying watersheds. Already over 1200 miles of streams and 400,000 acres have been destroyed in this area, and 1.4 million acres are at risk. 1.4 million acres. That is larger than the state of Delaware.
As the coal is then mined and processed, a waste product called "coal slurry" is formed. This is disposed of by injecting into abandoned mine shafts, or by creating large earthen dams and dumping the sludge into the valleys. One of the images I will never forget from the film is that of Marsh Fork Elementary School. This school is located 400 feet downhill from a dam holding back a lake containing 2.8 BILLION gallons of this toxic slurry.
Now, as someone who spent countless weekends hiking in the hills of West Virginia, or white water rafting with my family, I am horrified by what is being done to this beautiful wilderness. For the sake of argument, let's say you are not a tree-hugger like me, and don't care about that. Why should you care about mountaintop removal mining? The USGS estimates that if mountaintop removal continues at its current pace, over 100 million pounds of heavy metals, including Mercury and Arsenic may find their way into the water supply of cities along the east coast. It also destroys jobs. The huge drag lines take only a handful of people to operate, and replace hundreds of traditional mining jobs. All of this destruction generates roughly 5% of the usable coal in the United States.
I've probably depressed you enough by now, so I will close with what you can do to help. The first is to help lobby in support of the Clean Water Protection Act. Already over 152 members of congress have voiced their support as co-sponsors of this bill. Get your local congress person to join their ranks. There is a great website https://www.ilovemountains.org with tons of resources to help you do this. It's an election year, they will listen!
The other way you can fight this is to lessen the demand. Santee Cooper is one of the only utility companies in the region proposing to build a new Coal-Fired power plant. Not only would this increase demand for coal, it would dump over 114 pounds of mercury into the Pee Dee river each year. Santee Cooper is owned by the state of South Carolina. For those of us living in South Carolina, let's tell our elected officials we don't need this power plant. Tell them that we cannot condone the systematic destruction of the land and people of Appalachia in the name of cheaper coal.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Japan's decision to ease restrictions on U.S. beef imports will provide a boost to the American meat industry, but tight supplies may limit how much exports can grow this year.
Beef producers hope to restore Japanese sales to where they were before the first case of mad cow disease was found in the United States in 2003.
National Cattlemen's Beef Association President J.D. Alexander said Monday the Japanese rules should improve profits for the industry.
If Japan's decision to allow imports of beef from cattle up to 30-months-old leads to higher demand overall, American consumers may pay more for beef.
But the North American Meat Association says the effect on prices is likely to be limited because many popular cuts of meat in Japan, like tongue, aren't popular in America.

Throughout media history, the main value publishers provided marketers with was distribution, i.e. the opportunity to reach massive audiences, and often in a targeted way.
If Procter and Gamble wanted to reach suburban moms 25-44 then advertising on Good Housekeeping would have probably been a good idea. But does this still hold true? Is Good Housekeeping still the best way for P&G to reach its target audience? In a world of seamless micro-targeting offered by Facebook, Google, and the whole programmatic ecosystem, P&G can reach its audience more accurately and more efficiently than ever without depending on publishers.
So what's left for publishers to offer? Premium publishers, i.e more New York Times and Conde Nast, less Viral Nova and Dorkly, are still the best content creators out there, and their content holds significant credence.
In a time where Content Marketing seems to be taking marketers by storm, it's nothing to sneeze at. However, publishers are facing some major challenges, and there's one thing that can help them solve them.
Publishers have a discovery problem
When was the last time you actually visited a publisher's homepage?
It's no secret that the homepage is dying. The notorious leaked New York Times Innovation Report has revealed the Times had lost half of its homepage traffic in just two years. Publisher sites are just not a destination anymore. We discover our content mostly through search and social, as well discovery platforms such as Outbrain, Flipboard, or Reddit, and increasingly through dark social – text messaging, email and messaging apps.
Referral traffic to publisher sites by source:
Building discovery through search did require some fancy SEO, but luckily Google has favored quality content on reputable publishers over content farms.
Social discovery is a different ball game, which has proven to be much less about the content quality and much more about its distribution strategy. And indeed, social distribution whizzes like BuzzFeed, HuffPo, Upworthy and others have managed to build huge audiences despite arguably lower content quality than traditional publishers.
Publishers now depend more than ever on social traffic, which has surpassed search traffic in the past year, following Facebook's decision to promote more publisher content in its news feed.
Referral traffic to publisher sites from Google and Facebook:
Publishers have an experience problem
As programmatic ad spending is booming, publishers have been able to squeeze a few extra cents from their audiences, but these come with a price, in the form of a degraded user experience.
Loading dozens of vendors, pixels, and banners leads to incredibly long page load times. Kissmetrics research shows that 47% of consumers expect a web page to load within 2 seconds and that anything longer than 10 seconds is unacceptable by all. Yet, another study found that some publisher sites take much longer to load, for example – The Financial Times – 29.5 seconds, Bloomberg – 27 seconds, CNN – 18.8 seconds, The Wall Street Journal – 18.6 seconds.
Visitors can't accept this experience and the longer the load time the more they bounce.
When we talk about mobile, now the majority of digital content consumption, the experience is even worse.
With the limited site real estate to monetize, visitors are bombarded with lengthy mega-intrusive interstitials, even before the long load time, which is even longer when reaching the content through apps, now the great majority of time spent on mobile. With these types of user experiences, it's no wonder why ad blockers are on the rise and are publishers' fear-du-jour.
Publishers have a monetization problem
In a world of big desktop screens, lots of site real estate to stuff endless remanent impressions into, and a programmatic ecosystem to provide demand, monetization still wasn't easy but it was possible.
When 62% of time spent on digital is with limited real estate mobile devices, it becomes much harder. Publishers have never really realized how to monetize mobile, and currently take home less than 30% of the mobile ad revenue pie – the rest goes to platforms – Facebook, Google, Twitter, Pandora, etc.
Mobile ad revenues by channel:
This has also been one of the major drivers to the tremendous mobile monetization gap – only 13% of digital ad spend goes to mobile, despite the 62% of time spend we've mentioned.
And it doesn't seem like the tide will shift.
Content consumption on mobile happens on apps – 87% of time spent – and not on mobile web. None of the top apps belong to publishers – all are platforms, and mostly part of Facebook and Google. In order to survive in a mobile future, publishers will have to learn to monetize through those platforms.
An emerging new format can enable them to do so while also confronting the experience and discovery challenges.
Introducing: Containers
The future of digital media, my friends, is Containers. Yes, it's not a sexy word. Definitely not a word that would have gotten you clicking into this post. Nonetheless, it can help digital publishers with many of their problems.
What's a Container?
A Container is a piece of content which includes an inherent monetization model, as well as an inherent analytics layer. Essentially the monetization and analytics travel with the content wherever it might be.
A good example of a Container is a YouTube video, which can be embedded just about anywhere across the web, while enabling the video creator to monetize – it keeps 70% of revenues – and to track performance. And indeed we've seen an influx of video creators and MCNs (Multi-channel networks) such as Machinima, Maker studios, Fullscreen and Defy, that didn't bother to build their own destination sites, or their own monetization – they're happy to focus on content creation and leave the rest to YouTube.
Even established content creators such as Vice, Complex, Vox, and BuzzFeed have significant monetization coming from their embedded Containers. Recently Facebook, the newly crowned #1 video site, announced a similar model where video creators keep 55% of revenues and already has some serious players on board such as the NBA, Hearst, Funny or Die, and Fox Sports.
But what about content creators outside of the realm of video? Do they have to stay confined to an editorial destination site format? Can we find the Container format for textual content?
The future of most publishers depends on it.
Well, all the big guys are jumping on the bandwagon to try and solve it – Facebook, Apple, Google, and even Snapchat. Traditionally, these companies haven't been very friendly to publishers – e.g. Google changing its PageRank (SEO) algorithms without notice, and Facebook doing the same with its EdgeRank – but now they all understand the tremendous opportunity in becoming the sole gateway to mobile content, and they need publishers' cooperation to get there.
Publishers on their end definitely see the risk in embedding their content on other platforms, losing control of their audience, their monetization, and to some extent – their editorial brand, but the way things are going they just can't miss the life raft called Containers and the reward it might bring – to discovery, to experience, and to monetization.
Facebook Instant Articles
Back in May Facebook has launched its Container called Instant Articles.
Publishers' content can now be consumed directly within the Facebook app, solving all the challenges we've covered:
- Experience
– Instant Articles is just a gorgeous content consumption experience, maybe the best on the web today, and it's amazingly fast-loading as well.
- Monetization
– Believe it or not, publishers can keep 100% of the revenues if they monetize directly, or 70% of revenues if Facebook monetizes for them. Given their
well-known challenges in monetizing mobile, 70% of Facebook monetization will probably be the way they go.
- Discovery
– Facebook can obviously provide an endless firehose of new audiences for the publishers, and it will undoubtedly do so given the premium content,
premium experience, and inherent interest.
Many are already on board including New York Times, National Geographic, BuzzFeed, NBC News, Atlantic, the Guardian, and BBC News. Many more to come.
Apple News
With iOS 9 Apple released its own Container for content – Apple News – a Flipboard-style discovery app offering publishers an enhanced content consumption experience, and the opportunity to reach over half a billion iPhone users.
As for monetization, Apple chose the exact same model as Facebook – keep 100% if you monetize yourself, or 70% if you use iAd to monetize. And again premium publishers are already game including the New York Times, The Economist, the Daily Mail, BuzzFeed, ESPN Vox Media, Conde Nast, Hearst, and Time Inc.
Snapchat Discover
Another beautiful Container comes from Snapchat that chose to monetize itself through content with its Discover module, released at the beginning of the year. It allows publishers to reach a 100 million of the audience that traditional publisher sites have been missing the most – Millennials.
On Discover, publishers monetize themselves, but it's a super-premium 100% share-of-voice package for brands, enabling them to reach the coveted Millennials. The usual suspects shine here as well as CNN, ESPN, Daily Mail, National Geographic, People, Vice, and Cosmopolitan join the party.
Google developed Containers quite a while ago and started integrating actual content into its search results, though without a monetization and analytics model.
Some examples are Wikipedia content and weather content.
Google has since become one of the leading proponents for standardization of Containers as it clearly communicated in the Digital News Initiative it launched with leading European publishers such as the Financial Times, the Guardian, El Pais and La Stampa. We've seen the first sign of standardization a few weeks ago when Google announced that the first partner in its open-source Container will be Twitter.
Experience, monetization, and even branding are still to be unveiled, but we can already catch a sneak peek of how it might look like.
Although we've seen a parade of publishers jumping on the Container bandwagon and join forces with the Googles and Facebooks, there's still some apprehension among many.
The editorial website is still the holy grail, and so is the ownership of its audience. But at the end of the day publishers have to focus on their strong suits. And their primary strong suit, the thing they do better than anyone else, is undoubtedly content creation. It's not monetization, not audience development, and not the digital experience.
In the same way many brands gave up creating content on their own and turned to the newly formed publisher brand studios to create it, publishers should not feel the least bad about joining forces with digital experts to take their content and brand to the next level. And the way to get there is through Containers.
Publishers, if you still need convincing, just think about the most profitable content model out there – cable syndication.
Facebook, Google, and Apple are essentially the Comcast or Time Warner Cable of the web, providing the gateway to your content while helping you monetize it and reach new audiences through a beautiful experience. Be the HBOs and AMCs of the web. Win some creative awards. That's your strong suit.
Now go create your Container.

Steve Cross, one of the head curators at the Wellcome Collection, which has just undergone a £30m ($60m; €45m) facelift and reopened to the public last week, is impressed by the zeal of the collection's namesake. "It's strange to think that as well as building up one of the world's biggest pharmaceutical companies from scratch, Sir Henry had time to organise archaeological digs and run an army of collectors and curators scouring the world for interesting objects," he said.
The reorganised collection is located in the Wellcome Building, the Wellcome Trust's former headquarters in Euston Road, London. Built in 1931-4 by Henry Wellcome (1853-1936) to house his collection, library, and laboratories for research into tropical medicine, it has been sensitively transformed over the past five years by Hopkins Architects.
Born in the US Midwest, Sir Henry was a pharmacist, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and collector. In 1880 he established the Burroughs-Wellcome pharmaceutical company in the United Kingdom with Silas Burroughs. Sir Henry became sole owner when Burroughs died in 1895, and he used a large part of the company's profits to collect more than a million medical, cultural, and anthropological objects from around the world. In his will he set up the Wellcome Trust, currently the world's second largest medical research charity, with investment assets of £14bn. This year it will spend £540m to support biomedical research and encourage public debate about the importance of research.

In November 1938, after the horrific events of Kristallnacht are reported in the newspapers, Sylvia an otherwise healthy woman becomes unexplainably paralyzed from the waist down. When Dr. Harry Hyman is called in, problems in the marriage are revealed. How do both of the Gellburgs respond to being Jewish at this unsympathetic time in history?

Film Festival
A film collaboration between Tracey Moffatt and Gary Hillberg (1999)
Directed by Andrew Neel
SeeThink Productions (2007)
Stewart Auditorium
Moore College of Art & Design
FREE ADMISSION: Click here for tickets
A short discussion by artist Diane Burko and Dr. Ann Sutherland Harris, Professor Emerita for History of Art & Architecture at University of Pittsburgh, will precede the films.
In Artist, internationally acclaimed photographer and filmmaker Tracey Moffatt takes the viewer on a fast-paced journey through Hollywood's depiction of the artist. Using a wealth of clips from classic cinema bio pics and popular television sitcoms, the video voyage spans centuries of art and art-making to reveal how five decades of mainstream media have perceived the creative process and creators themselves. A lively music track underscores the fervor and passion we have come to associate with artists and their typical one-dimensional representations on the large and small screen. Punctuated by recurrent gestures--the confident whisk of the paint brush, the futile laugh of frustration, and the violent destruction of one's own work--this amusing, thought-provoking array of well-known images paints an incisive portrait of the artist as a total Hollywood fabrication. 10 minutes
Alice Neel's grandson directed this documentary about Alice Neel, an alumna of Moore College of Art & Design who is considered one of the greatest portrait painters of the 20th century. She was also a pioneer among women artists. A painter of people, landscape and still life, Neel was never fashionable or in step with avant-garde movements. Sympathetic to the expressionist spirit of northern Europe and Scandinavia and to the darker arts of Spanish painting, she painted in a style and with an approach distinctively her own. The film explores her struggles as an artist and a single mother from the Depression era until her death in 1984. It includes interviews with her sons, Richard and Hartley Neel, the children of her deceased daughter, Isabetta, artists Marlene Dumas, Chuck Close and Alex Katz, art historians Rob Storr and Jeremy Lewison, and Neel's surviving friends. It also includes footage from Michel Auder's earlier film about Neel. The film, which was produced by SeeThink Productions, won the Audience Award at the Newport Beach Film Festival in 2007. 82 minutes

Diane Burko focuses on monumental geological phenomenon. Since 2006 her practice has been at the intersection of Art and Science, devoted to the urgent issues of Climate Change. Her current work reflects expeditions to the three largest ice fields in the world. In 2013 she sailed around Svalbard with artists and also spent four days in Ny-Alesund with scientists from the Norwegian Polar Institute. In 2014, she returned north to Greenland's Ilulissat and Eqi Sermia glaciers. She first traveled to the Antarctic Peninsula in 2013 returning in January 2015. After exploring the Antarctic Peninsula she flew from Ushuaia to El Calafate to discover the Patagonian ice field of Argentina. Diane's ongoing study of polar landscapes – profoundly inform her work as she bears witness to the unprecedented ice melt on our planet. Aside from continually exhibiting, Burko has garnered the attention of the scientific community who invite her to speak on how the Arts can communicate Science. She is an affiliate of INSTAAR, having led a seminar at their headquarters and interacted with their research scientists in Boulder CO. She is invited to speak at various conferences such as the GSA (Geological Society of America) and AGU (American geophysical Union). Diane Burko is committed to sharing her experience as a public speaker on issues of climate change and her practice. Diane Burko has had more than thirty solo exhibitions in galleries and museums across the U.S., including recent museum exhibits at the Zimmerli Museum of Art, Tang Museum, Tufts University, Michener Art Museum and at Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School. Her numerous awards include Independence Foundation's Fellowship in the Arts (2013), NEA Visual Arts Fellowships (1985, 1991); Individual Artists Grants from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts (1981, 1989); a Lila Acheson Wallace Foundation Residence Fellowship (1989); a Rockefeller Foundation Residence Fellowship (1993); and the Bessie Berman Grant, awarded by the Leeway Foundation in Philadelphia (2000). Burko's works are in numerous private and public collections including the Art Institute of Chicago; The Philadelphia Museum of Art; The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts; The PEW Foundation; The Delaware Art Museum; The Woodmere Art Museum; The Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum; Denver Museum of Art; The Tucson Museum of Art and Tang Museum.
Ann Sutherland Harris was born in Cambridge, England and was educated in both the USA and the UK (BA 1961 & PhD 1965, University of London [Courtauld Institute of Art]). She has worked in the States since 1965, teaching at Barnard College and Columbia University, and at several other universities before joining the faculty of the University of Pittsburgh as Professor of the History of Art and Architecture in 1984. There she taught a wide range of courses to undergraduate and graduate students until her retirement in 2012. Her research focuses mainly on 17th century Europe, especially painters and sculptors working in Italy and France. She has a particular interest in artists' drawings and what they reveal about artists' ideas and intentions, as well as in artists' self-perceptions and the roles they play as they interact with patrons and their demands. She has published books about Andrea Sacchi and Gian Lorenzo Bernini's drawings and, most recently, a substantial survey of European 17th century art and architecture (Laurence King, London; 2005; 2nd ed. 2008). A full bibliography of her publications is available on her university's web site.
Dr. Harris became interested in the past and present situation of women during the late 1960s and 1970s, when she became an activist for improved status for women in academe. She testified before the US Congress in 1970 about the discrimination faced by women in higher education, and then helped to set up the Women's Caucus for Art, an advocacy organization for women active as artists, art historians, and museum professionals: she was its first President (1972-74), and it is still active with many local branches and an annual meeting held in conjunction with that of the College Art Association. It has awarded prizes for lifetime achievement to many of the (now) best-known American women artists, beginning in 1978 with Isabel Bishop, Louise Nevelson, Georgia O'Keeffe, Selma Burke and Alice Neel. She also encouraged Wilhelmina Holladay to found a museum devoted to women artists, which she did twenty-five years ago: the National Museum for Women in the Arts in Washington, DC. Art history and activism came together when she and Linda Nochlin co-curated the traveling exhibition Women Artists, 1550-1950 for the Los Angeles County Museum in 1976-7 (also shown at the University Art Museum, Austin, Texas; the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh; and the Brooklyn Museum, New York). She was responsible for artists active in the 16th to 18th centuries, and Nochlin for the artists working after 1800, and she contributed most of the catalogue entries for the earlier artists as well as an introduction that provided the essential historical background for the pioneering women artists who emerged in Europe in the mid-sixteenth-century. Since then, she has occasionally written about twentieth-century women, including Alice Neel (1900-84), Elizabeth Murray (1940-2006) and Edna Andrade (1917- 2008), as well as contributing catalogue essays, articles and reviews about Artemisia Gentileschi and Sofonisba Anguissola, and a survey of recent scholarship on Sofonisba, Artemisia, Lavinia Fontana and Elisabetta Sirani for the exhibition, Italian Women Artists from the Renaissance to the Baroque held at the women's museum in Washington in 2007.
You'll want to visit www.MooreWomenArtists.org – THE online destination for women visual artists – where you can contribute content, promote yourself and your work and join in the discussion with other women visual artists.

About Cheltenham & Information
Major Meetings
When it comes to talking about horse racing it's pretty much impossible to hear the word 'Cheltenham' without thinking about the Cheltenham Festival. For those with more than just a passing interest in the sport there are also race meetings at the course year round, such as The Open, which takes place in November, thought of by those in the industry as the unofficial start of the jump racing season.
The Cheltenham Festival
We'll cover the festival in much more detail elsewhere on the site, but here's a brief overview. Taking place in the month of March, the Cheltenham Festival is one of the most popular events in the hunt racing calendar. It offers prize money that is second only to the Grand National. Though the national also takes place across several days and has numerous prestigious events, it doesn't compare to the Festival in terms of sheer volume of first class races.
As well as the world-famous Gold Cup, there's also the Queen Mother Champion Chase, the Stayers Hurdle and the Champion Hurdle, plus fantastic races like the Ryanair Chase and Coral Cup. It started as a two day meeting but has grown to four days over the years, with 28 races now taking place during the festival.
Race Night / THE HUNTERS CHASE EVENING
The Hunters Chase Evening, or Race Night as it is now known as of 2018, is the final jump racing meeting at Cheltenham until the autumn and is a big favourite for the locals. With five out of seven races run over a distance of 3+ miles this meeting really does live up to its name.
This amateur meeting is a great opportunity to spot the upcoming horses, trainers and riders that might be worth backing next season. The lighter nights in this rare evening meeting, run on the Friday before the May day bank holiday in the UK each year, means it has a more party feel with live music and more.
The April Meeting
This mid-week meeting, as the name suggests, takes place in April each year during the winding-down of the jump season. Perhaps more a meeting for the avid racegoer there is still a lot of enjoyment to be had, especially if you get good weather.
Run over two days there is a nice mix of big handicap races with a few Grade races thrown in. By this point in the season punters have a better idea of how horses will run and a keen eye will be able to spot the flagging fillies from those with some gas left in the tank. The second day of the April meeting is famed for being a mares' only racing day.
The November Meeting / Cheltenham Open
This three day racing event takes place every November and has grown in popularity over recent years. It started life as just another race meeting, failing to establish itself as anything special until it expanded into a mini festival.
Formerly known as the Cheltenham Open and now called the November Meeting, the meeting has only really taken on significance since the turn of the millennium. One of the keys to the meeting's success has been the fact that it has something of a carnival atmosphere. Day One is 'Countryside Day', having a country fair feel the proceedings. Day Two, Gold Cup Day, revolves around, you guessed it, the Gold Cup, whilst Day Three is November Meeting Sunday (formerly Open Sunday). This is very much an occasion for all the family, especially as it's the only Sunday in the year when racing takes place on the course.
The International
Taking place in December each year, The International is two days of jump racing that is arguably your last chance to get a horse racing hit before the New Year arrives. Though there is some racing on International Friday, the main bit of racing takes place on the International Saturday. This includes the December Gold Cup and the International Hurdle.
The latter was established in 1963 as the Cheltenham Trial Hurdle and is a Grade 2 race open to horses of four years and older.
The New Year
Each New Year's Day Cheltenham Racecourse throws open its doors to welcome in the next 365 days. There are seven races that you'll be able to watch, starting with the Novices' Hurdle.
The meeting has a unique atmosphere with everyone in a good mood from the new year celebrations that night before. If you go expect to shake hands with many strangers as you greet the new year in with some top class jump racing.
Festival Trials Day
On the final Saturday of January every year, Cheltenham Racecourse hosts the final major meeting before the start of the Cheltenham Festival. It is a chance for serious racegoers, punters, owners and trainers to get a feel for how horses are likely to perform in one of the most important weeks in the jump racing calendar.
Festival Trials Day features a host of races that can tell you some vital information about related races that occur during the Festival itself. These races include the Finesse Juvenile Novices' Hurdle, which is a good precursor to the Triumph Hurdle; the Classic Novices' Hurdle that hints towards successful horses in the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle; and the Cotswold Chase, which is seen as a real indicator of which horses might do well in the Gold Cup.

Nice Job Al!
TenPoint CEO Rick Bednar took the first Nitro on his own test up in Canada. As you can see, the testing went well.
The Renegade XLT is a special make up based off the regular Renegade but with the narrower and slightly faster XLT front end. It is a good shooting bow.
I would get the crossbow version of the Spitfire 100.
Glad we could meet up so you could see the bows!
The HCA-108 should be all black. Where did you order it from.
We can solve the decal by you just giving us a call. As for the arrows, just keep in mind you got the bow on a helluva good deal.
You will want to go with the HCA-13617 BowJax kit on the new WR bows.
Check out the new Wicked Ridge bows!
Pro Elite will be more accurate, carry better kinetic energy, be quieter and easier on your bow.
We hope you all have a Merry and safe Christmas!
Shooting a heavier arrow will make it quieter as well.
Glad we got you set.
The higher FOC is better, but many expandables don't demand the higher FOC like a fixed blade does. NO you can't intermix expanables and fixed, there most likely will be a big difference.
In our...
You are correct, the 125 tips are harder to find than they used to be. In most situations, out of today's crossbows, you have more than enough kinetic energy with either one. There is not much...
I have a couple thoughts. First, make sure you are actually holding the front grip. Reverse draw bows can jump when you shoot them, so holding the grip can reduce that effect. Secondly,...
After a lot of testing last year, we found the NAP SlingBlade tested the best.
I personally use (and have for 10 years) NAP Spitfires. Everything I have shot with them has died very quickly and they...
Nice work!
Sorry I missed this. Yes, call us or click on the support button at the top of the screen and click on return authorization form. Either way, we can get you set.
I would suggest taking the time to get the cable saver in correctly. It will help accuracy and cable life.
As for the rail lube, a pea size drop on each side of the rail every 75-100 shots...
Give us a call and we can help you out.
Wow, congratulations! Great buck and great story. That is a great looking deer. Sounds like you need to come back and do some coyote hunting before long too.
Don't shoot it without the cable saver, but yes, you can install it yourself with no problem. You will just need a set of Allen wrenches.
Give us a call and we can send instructions.
Try Spitfire 100s. I think you will have great results.

implausible and a bit long. I have read worse... and many many which were better.
Another excellent book by Linwood Barclay. A family completely disappears without a trace except for a 14 year old girl. Twenty five years later Cynthia starts looking for answers. The characters are well developed with a really good mystery.
This is a great read. I couldn't wait to get back to it each time I had to put it down! I even stayed up late to finish it.
This book is the reason I can't read suspense any more. I was totally stressed out until I could get to the end - and I had to read to the end to find out what happened, because there was just no way I ever would have figured it out on my own.
I love finding a new author! I really liked this book and have a list of his others to read.
I could not put this book down. Read it in one and a half days. Great story line, flowed smoothly, and well written. Now I look forward to other books by same author. Highly recommend.
kept me guessing till the end
Despite the complex drama becoming increasingly improbable, even ludicrous, you just keep reading; readable, enjoyable, and it made the time pass.
Outstanding!! My first book by this author and I was not disappointed. I definitely have put him on my "must read" list. Great story with a lot of suspense and twists/turns....an ending I didn't see coming. Highly recommend!!
This is definitely my favourite Linwood Barclay book. It's a chilling and suspenseful fast-read.
