Special Extra Bonus Subscriber Podcast – Cambridge Analytica
In this special podcast just for Pearse's patreon subscribers (also available to my subscribers) we discuss all things Cambridge Analytica, Alexander Nix and Christopher Wylie. Fundamentally we ask whether their activities are new or unique, or merely the most well-known when dozens of other companies and government agencies do the same things. We finish up the conversation talking about whether democracy is a failed experiment, and of the necessity of building up defences against manipulation if any kind of electoral system is to succeed.

Tom Secker of SpyCulture.com joins me for a discussion of all things Cambridge Analytica. We start off by talking about the recent Channel 4 expose of the company. Tom and I talk about what Cambridge Analytica is being accused of (sexual blackmail, using MI6 agents, manipulating voters) and ask the question is this really anything new? We also focus on James Bond villain Alexander Nix, his mysterious background, and his role as a modern day colonialist. We use Nix's role in Kenya's recent elections as an example.
Later we move onto the the purple haired "whistleblower Christopher Wylie and truly begin our rant. We talk about the major ethical problems with Wylie and his role within CA. Tom and I talk about the perception being built around Wylie, and how this doesn't fit with his actual actions within the data mining company. We close out by talking about the way the liberal media has covered this story. Tom and I discuss how groups like Channel 4 and Hillary Clinton seem to think that the majority of the public are idiots that need to be protected from companies like Cambridge Analytica. We talk about the need for people to actually build defenses against manipulators and not simply vote or buy a certain product because they are "too stupid" to make their own decision.

I'm not sure when I began mixing non-traditional "inks" to use for calligraphy. It's probably when I stumbled on Bleedproof White and it definitely needs to be mixed before it can even be used.
First, pick a non-traditional "ink" that you'd like to mix.
I've used watercolors, gouache and even $1 craft acrylic paint to mix for calligraphy use. The sky is the limit and I encourage you to experiment.
Then you'll need water, an ink container, and something to stir it all with. Simple as that.
I've heard of other calligraphers using gum arabic, but I ended up using what I had on hand - tap water and a toothpick. For the water, I often take it straight out of the faucet, letting it slowly drip or I use an empty ink bottle with it's dropper.
Consistency is absolute key. The goal is to create a milk-like ink consistency.
The ink must have a consistency like that of milk. The true test is if it flows smoothly out of your nib. If it blobs up in the nib and doesn't come out, it's too thick and need more water. If it's too runny, there's too much water. Add and mix in a little bit of your "ink" back in.
It's trial and error, but when you get the hang of it, you can have all sorts of inks available at your fingertips.

Please check with your child before cutting their work into circles! If they're old enough to do the cutting, gluing and WANT to cut their picture – great! Otherwise, just display and frame their drawing as is! After putting some thought into a comment that was made about this post, I think that it's not a great idea. Though I did use a photocopy, I still think I may have shown her that i don't respect her work. (i.e. What if I cut apart or out a very important part of her picture by cutting it up? Being 2, that would be hard for her to tell me!) What do you think?
It's often difficult to think of a gift that a child can create, without a lot of help from an adult.
I love to create gifts out of art that my toddler has made. That way, her part is still very process focused, while I can help with the end product.
I gave my 2 year old a package of chalk pastels and nice thick paper. She spent about 20 mins drawing pictures and then playing with the pastels afterwards. Sorting, stacking and identifying colours. While she was drawing the picture, I asked her questions about the person she was creating this masterpiece for and recorded her answers. That will be added to the gift.
When she was finished her drawing, I photocopied it. The picture she created is beautiful all on its own, but here is an idea of another way to present it as a gift.
Using the copies, I traced and cut out circles in a few sizes
Arranged and glued them on to white cardstock
With this gift, I included a few photos of the process of her creating the picture and added quotes.
Let me know what you think 🙂
As always, I appreciate when you follow me and share my posts.

Buckman Coe
Hometown: Vancouver, BC, Canada
Genre: Soul, Folk, Americana, Rock, Reggae
Drawing from soul, folk, Americana, rock, and reggae, Buckman Coe and his band craft and perform uplifting and conscious music for the people.
His recent release Malama Ka 'Aina (pr: Ma-LA-ma kah- AY-nuh) – a Hawaiian phrase meaning to respect the land and live in harmony – is a gorgeous and downright infectious manifestation of the artist's spiritual nature and passion for social justice.
With the masterful production by global/electronic artist Adham Shaikh and musician-activist Jason Kechely, Coe creates ethereal, soul-drenched vocals that soar over arrangements celebrating the awakening of social consciousness and global unity.
Malama Ka 'Aina is a danceable album filled with positive vibes. Its strength is its ability to thematically bridge participation in civil society and celebrate life, love, and humanity. It deals with the destructive nature of capitalism and corporate media while reflecting on the importance of community and the natural environment. The stories in Malama Ka 'Aina are told over spirited melodic builds, soulful harmonies, and powerful horn arrangements. Buckman Coe and his band's lively performances have established them as festival favourites along the Pacific Northwest and Internationally. Highlights include:
- 2015: Oregon Country Fair, Axis Mundi Festival, Blessed Coast, Golden Sound Festival, Robson Valley Festival, Wapiti Festival, ArtsWells Festival, Midsummer Festival, Tall Tree Festival, Music Matters Live (Singapore), Grass Roots Festival (Taiwan)
- 2014: BIGSOUND (Australia), Calgary Reggae Festival, Edge of the World Festival
- 2013: Starbelly Jam, Vancouver International Jazz Festival, opening for Ziggy Marley
- 2012: Salmon Arm Roots & Blues
Readers of WE Vancouver voted Buckman Coe as the Best Band in Vancouver, and readers of the Georgia Straight voted him the second best indie band.
Plans for Malama Ka 'Aina in 2016 include tours of Australia, Asia, USA, and Canada. With this release, Coe stands to become even more celebrated by those who love him and much better known locally and worldwide.

Price Of Premature Birth-Preventing Drug Goes From $10 To $1,500 Per Dose
After the Food and Drug Administration granted KV Pharmaceuticals sole rights to produce progesterone, a drug that prevents premature births in mothers, the company has begun charging $1,500 per dose of a drug that formerly cost $10.
ABC News reports the drug was previously available in an unregulated form from pharmacies that specialized in compounding.
A director of gynecology at a New York hospital decries the FDA's move and its result:
"Progesterone is so cheap to make and we never had a problem with the compounding pharmacies making it. There's probably some variation between pharmacies, which nobody likes, but nobody likes $1,500 a shot either. That seems like highway robbery."
KV said in a statement to ABC that it would strive to make the drug affordable to those in need. Those with less than $60,000 in annual household income will be able to apply to receive the drug for free, and those who are insured and make less than $100,000 will be promised a copay of $20 or less.
Doctors said those who are forced to go through an approval process to receive the drug may be forced to delay treatment.

When you walk into your home office, what do you feel?
Do you feel energized to work, or do you feel the need to pack up your laptop and head to the closest cafe because it's not an inspiring space? Or worse, it's such a mess that you have to battle your way to the screen!
While research shows that heading out of the house to work in a cafe can boost your productivity, as Mums we can't always manage it. Between school runs, household chores, client meetings and admin work, it's often more practical for us to work at home, meaning that it's super-important that our home office makes us feel energized and raring to get into our work.
When did you last pay attention to the space you are working in?
If you know that your home-office set up is less than ideal, then today's interview with Feng Shui consultant Moni Castaneda is going to inspire you to take the time to whip it into shape. With a degree in architecture as well as her Feng Shui qualifications, Moni is an expert at creating beautiful, functional spaces that make you feel good.
Moni is the perfect person to learn from because she's been working from her home office for the majority of the last 15 years, skyping with clients online and teaching them how to design their home spaces for work, as well as for a positive and healthy family life generally.
Moni is also her own success story, taking what is traditionally an offline, consultancy service and translating her work into a successful business delivered online, so Moni also shares lots of tips about how she consistently generates leads for her online business, and how she's making a great living working part-time hours.
How should you position your desk?
Should you get a standing desk?
What kind of office storage drawers should you get?
Moni answers these and more in this lively interview, which also includes a screen-share tour of Moni's own home and workspace.
All in all an interview you should not miss!

Here's what Moni and J9 cover in the podcast interview:
- Transitioning an offline business to a fully online practice
- How Moni used feng shui to make herself happy
- A tour of Moni's home (watch the video starting from around 16:35)
- The correlation between space and mess
- Why you shouldn't use plastic around the house
- Setting boundaries with your kids and why it's important to keep your work area sacred
- The argument for a smaller house
- The best position for your desk, and what Moni thinks about standing desks.
- Moni's two secrets for consistently generating leads online
- The importance of really defining your target market
Resources we talked about:
- Feng Shui for Us – Moni's training program
- Moni's website
Top tip for a 20 hour a week (or less!) business:
Moni's key to making great money in part-time hours is leveraging what you do. The way to make money is not to work harder or longer, but to leverage your time. Find out something that you can do very well – preferably highly niched – and charge a lot of money per hour for your time. Then add in one-to-many products or services for your lower price-point products. Make your services really valuable. Don't charge for what you do, charge for what you know.
Join the Conversation:
Moni mentioned that a laptop computer is a bad idea for a working mums because you're never disconnected. Since you can bring your work with you anywhere, you always seem to be working. What are your thoughts on this? Are you willing to give up your mobility so you can unplug?

Swimming Pool Design in Adriatic Style
Photo: Starry sky above and the picturesque panels depicting a seascape allow house owners and their guests feel as if they are resting on an exotic island.
Swimming pool design with futuristic details
A private pool is a necessary attribute for a house design of successful, educated and romantic people. No room, lounge or interior garden can be as pacifying and peaceful as a "domestic sea". This design project is implemented in eco-style with futuristic details, which can be seen especially in the blue-white-and-beige color scheme. The reference to the seascape is clear: blue waves, beige sand, white shells and the reflection of sunlight.
Photo: The pool recalls a holiday on the Adriatic coast
Flowing forms of the "coastal area", open space and a minimum of furniture create an atmosphere of relaxation and rest. The room is designed in the same style: a panel on the wall behind the bar is also dedicated to the marine theme, on the second floor blue and white bean-bag chairs are interspersed, a glass insert in the ceiling recreates the night sky panorama.
Swimming pool design as recollection of your vacation in the Adriatic
Photo: The pool interior in a country house is not lacking modern futuristic elements
The pool design is intended to smooth away the feeling of artificiality. The edges of the swimming pool is level with the floor, smooth and shallow descending steps, a panoramic seascape with a yacht spread out over the whole wall, tropical plants in tubs – all of these allow home owners really feel like they are on an exotic island, imagine that the waves of the Adriatic are splashing at their feet.
Olga Kondratova's Design Studio specializes in complex and unusual projects. Carefully chosen touches and accents erase all differences between objective reality and a meticulously constructed microcosm within your home.

You know it's fall in the Northwest when the air gets damp and the rains start to come, mixed with a few days of sunshine. In the early autumn, just after a rain, there's a damp, musky scent in the forest, and it is then that the foragers for wild mushrooms head into the woods.

Playing the Spoons
It doesn't take much for me to get excited about fishing. I love watching the water, enjoying the outdoors, the mystery of not knowing what will happen next. Heck, fish form the basis of most of my diet. To all that good stuff, you have to add the challenge of trying new things. There is always some new gimmick or gismo or some technique that deserves a chance to succeed.
Touring New England
In between the places I am required to be while writing columns, articles and books and giving seminars, I still have flexibility in my direction. I turned left from Sacandaga Lake, New York, and headed into Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine for the next four weeks, revisiting old haunts and discovering new ones. New England is a charming mix of white church steeples, covered bridges, connected housing, maple syrup and country stores.
Still Getting Kicks on Route 66
Route 66, which connected Chicago with Los Angeles before the interstate highway system was built, was an introduction to the Wild West for travelers from the East as they encountered trading posts, tepees and even a giant jackrabbit.
Putting the 2005 Coachmen Santara to the Test

We are thrilled to announce that Sandy Valley Elementary was among 54 schools in the state that will soon have a new water fountain/bottle filling station thanks to the Delta Dental Foundation.
SVE was among the winners of the DDF's $200,000 Rethink Your Drink: Water's Cool at School program, designed to encourage children to drink more water during the school day.
"We congratulate Sandy Valley on their award and hope this program helps the student body and staff see the benefits of drinking water regularly," said Teri Battaglieri, Delta Dental Foundation director. "Not only do one out of three children face obesity due to consuming sugar-sweetened beverages, but drinking soda pop nearly doubles the risk of cavities in children."
As part of the prize package, SVE also received reusable water bottles for ALL students and staff.
About the Delta Dental FoundatThe Delta Dental Foundation is a nonprofit, charitable organization established in 1980, which serves as the philanthropic arm of Delta Dental of Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and North Carolina.

Lithirm recently expressed that it would "be pretty darn cool" to be featured on LVP's front page. So for this week's news post, we are going to take a look at everything Lithirm.
Lithirm registered on 23 December 2008 and has been online for 2070 hours and 12 minutes. In that time he has gotten 9890 kills and died 11339 times (K/D 0.87). Out of the 9890 kills, 3 of them were the result of a drive-by and 28 of them were done by a helicopter blade. Lithirm has been in 304 fights in Fight Club, winning 174 and losing 130. Leaving him with a FC K/D ratio of 1.34.
Lithirm is a pretty rich guy, considering he has $991.7 million in his bank account. But the money in his bank account isn't all the makes up who Lithirm is. He's also a fun loving guy ranking in at #98 with 455 minigames won, #11 for exporting 1,569 vehicles, and #2 for having the second fastest fingers in the land, with 7,777 reaction tests won! I think the only boring fact about Lithirm is that he's only detonated 2 carbombs in all his time at LVP.
So, there you have it Lithirm, you've made it to the front page. Most everyone loves you for the fun loving guy you are and some of us even love you for those fast fingers you have ;)
You can learn more about Lithirm here. And send him love letters here.

The space was founded in January 2010 by Katie Clancy and began as a project-based art program strictly for the residents of the Buen Pastor. Selling her own artwork and running fund-raising artshows and events to provide necessary materials and later, build the space, Clancy tried to incorporate a variety of fields and individual artists and educators into the program as possible. The primary goal was always to provide the girls a variety of opportunities for creative exploration and expression.
However, the other most important objectives were to cultivate a community of Artists that are interested in collaborative projects and in working with the youth of this community as well as raising awareness and strengthening the relationship that El Buen Pastor has with the outside community.
Throughout much movement, change and development over these past years, we are happy to welcome the public of Guanajuato to know, work and play in eStudio 473 with us this year. We are proud and excited to share our beautiful space all you, young and old!

Malia and Simon are totally smitten for each other. As I was editing these photos I could feel their love beaming through the computer screen. Seriously. Not only are they crazy about each other, but they were FUN too! They climbed trees for me, stepped on thorns, and climbed over lava rock on the edge of the ocean. Lots of laughing, smiling, and kissing too. Just the way I like it. My wish is that all of my future clients are just like these two. Fun, friendly, and in love.
Thanks for such a fun shoot guys! I hope you love your photos!!!

Manchester United are considering whether to hijack Valencia's move for Argentina World Cup midfielder Enzo Perez.
The Spaniards have made a £20million approach to Benfica for Perez, who has also been tracked by the Old Trafford side's scouts.
The 28-year-old recently signed a new four-year deal at the Portuguese side after an impressive season, where he really came to the fore as a top-class operator.
"There is the possibility of playing for Valencia, who are a great club, but right now I want to be fully focused on the Argentina national team and on the World Cup," said Perez, who played in the quarter-final defeat of Belgium on Saturday.
"I am very happy at Benfica, I signed the contract renewal before travelling to join the Argentina squad, which shows that I want to keep wearing this shirt.
"I am feeling very well at Benfica and I know the club will try to do the best for me. I'll respect what they decide."
Here's what Perez has in his locker:

I-96 shooting suspect faces added terrorism and other charges
Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette added a terrorism charge Thursday to the long list against the man suspected in the random October shooting spree that touched four Mid-Michigan counties.
Raulie Wayne Casteel, 43, is expected to be arraigned on that charge and others Dec. 27 at Livingston County's 53rd District Court, said Attorney General's Office spokeswoman Joy Yearout.
The charges filed previously in Livingston against Casteel were dismissed Thursday and replaced with the charges filed by Schuette's office.
Yearout said that while the Attorney General's Office was unsure whether to file the terrorism charge, an exhaustive review revealed that it was only appropriate.
"After reports of the shooting made their way through media, citizens changed their routes for everyday activities -- from football games to taking their kids to school," she said. "They were terrorized by this one dangerous individual."
The terrorism charge is based on 21 attacks that occurred in Livingston, Shiawassee and Ingham counties. It is a felony that carries a penalty of up to life in prison.
In 2004, a Macomb prosecutor charged a Macomb High School student with terrorism for a plot to kill his classmates, said Yearout. The plot was foiled by police before the student could carry it out, but the student was convicted.
In addition, Casteel is charged with assault with intent to murder, carrying a weapon with unlawful intent, discharging a firearm from a vehicle and three felony firearms charges.
In Oakland County, Casteel is charged with 60 different counts. Prosecutor Jessica Cooper is handling those charges.
He is expected to be arraigned on those charges after results of a court-ordered competency test come from the county, most likely after the first of the year, said Assistant Prosecutor Paul Walton.

There are a myriad of DIY projects to fill your free time, but making your own cell phone? It's actually possible now thanks to an open source project from MIT professor and co-creator of Arduino David Mellis. All you need is about $200 worth of parts and a steady hand to hold the soldering iron. You can even make this DIY phone out of cardboard, if that strikes your fancy.
Considering Mellis' involvement with the Arduino, it should come as no great surprise that an Arduino is at the heart of the DIY Cellphone. It's an extension of the Arduino GSM Shield project, but adds a full (but basic) interface and standard calling features. Assembling the device doesn't require a degree in electrical engineering, but you will need to carefully solder some 60 components on the board, some of which can be dangerous if attached incorrectly.
There are two versions of the DIY Cellphone — one that uses an old fashioned monochrome LCD like you'd find on a cell phone from the late 90s, and another with an eight-character matrix of red LEDs. This second one is arguably the cooler of the two because it doesn't just look like an old phone, it looks impossibly primitive. The software for the phone is freely available on Github, but it will take some tinkering to get it fully functional. It can store numbers, show the time, and display the battery level.
The enclosure is where you get to have some fun and be creative. There are versions of the DIY Cellphone made from metal, wood, plastic, and even cardboard. Again, the cardboard casing might be the coolest because it seems like it couldn't possibly be a working phone. Samsung gets a lot of guff for using plastic all the time, but you can show 'em who's boss with your cardboard phone.
Your choice of material will determine whether you need a laser cutter, 3D printer, or just a sturdy pair of scissors. The device has been built in academic labs for testing, but regular people have also been sending Mellis pictures of their handiwork — it is possible.

BINGHAMTON – Columbia High surrendered two unearned runs in the first inning and nothing else, but that was enough for Clarence to walk off with a 2-1 victory today in the state baseball Class AA semifinals at NYSEG Stadium.
Clarence (Section VI) got its runs when Columbia starter Nolan Gaige threw wildly to first base on Matt Creenan's comebacker. Zach Lauricella doubled in Creenan, going to third on the throw home and scoring on Adam Urschel's sacrifice fly.
The Blue Devils (22-5) loaded the bases in the second and fourth innings – the latter with no one out – but couldn't push across a run. The fourth-inning rally was aborted when Ian Gaule was thrown out at the plate, trying to score on Ben Tidd's flyout to right.
Columbia finally broke through in the fifth as Patrick Puentes' double off the left-center field wall – nearly 400 feet from home plate, scored James Vooris.
Lauricella pitched a complete game, holding Columbia to four hits. He struck out eight, walked four and had three hit batsmen.
The Red Devils (22-6) will take Mamaroneck, an 11-inning, 4-3 winner over Massapequa, in the championship game.

One of the biggest methods I've used in the past to earn money online is Affiliate Marketing. I've been involved since my first offer I applied for in 2009. I've been asked many times before how to get approved for affiliate marketing, and how to actually make money on the internet using this technique. So lets' get started and find out how to apply for CPa offers and how to use them to make money on the internet.
So how do you get approved for Afiiliate Marketing?
It's pretty easy in fact. Let me walk you through a couple of steps that you might already know, or it might hopefully be some useful information for you.
This is a step that marketers often forget. But I think it is important: What subject matter do you know well? It's no good me trying to market the latest Green Tea diet if I have no knowledge of the subject, but if I for example know a lot about webhosting, then I would choose this subject to promote.
Ok, good, we've now established that we need to know the subject matter. Now where do we find these offers if there are any available?
Step 2
I always look at the following website OfferVault it has a great selection of offers and all you do is type in your niche that you are wanting to promote, so for example, I'm looking for offers in web hosting, so I would type in web hosting in the search bar. The results come in and it gives me the network name that is running CPA offers for web hosting, as well as payout type, amount etc.
Step 3
Great, we've now established what network we want to join to run our promotion. (if you are really stuck I will provide some links of some great CPA networks to join at the end of this page)
So now what? I would say depending on your niche, the next best thing would be to get a site up and running, and get some content on this website. Why? Because very often CPA networks will ask you for a website address where you are planning to promote your offers. Don't worry, this is easy to do, and I'll give you some recommended hosting as well.
OK, use this link to get $10 free hosting. Once you have signed up, they will apply $10 free credit to your account, which means you can use this for your first month's free hosting. install cPanel and wordpress. wordpress is great in getting your site in front of search engines. I also recommend using a VPS instead of shared hosting, as you can always scale up a bit more if you wanted to offer ebooks, etc and wanted to do some email marketing from your VPS as well. I'll cover Email Marketing later on this page.
Now we need a domain. I would always recommend Namecheap, as I find they are cheap, and their dns propogates very quickly normally. Signup here
I would recommend looking for a .com, .net or .org domain, but of course that choice is entirely up to you. I would also recommend trying to find a domain that can be used easily with your niche as well.
Once you've added your domain name to the VPS, and have installed wordpress, look for a nice free wordpress theme. There are literally thousands to chose from. I know I have skipped many steps inbetween, but I was not planning on writing a how-to install cpanel or wordpress, there are many other websites that specialise in that.
Step 4
Do some research on your chosen niche. Now try and write some articles for your new website. I would recommend putting some content down on a piece of paper first, plan how your site is going to look, create the menus, make sure the site flows nicely. If your first language is not English, and you plan on an English site, try and get someone to proofread your English for you. You can perhaps find a friend who speaks English well, or hire a freelancer on one of the many freelancer sites available for a small fee, or look on Fiverr.
I would recommend at least 5-10 articles, about 500 words each, on various aspects of your chosen niche.
Once you're happy with that, publish your wordpress site.
Step 5
Remember in step 2 we found the network you want to join? Great, let's join that network now. Go ahead, it will be easy! OK, so we've gone ahead and started the application process. Add all your correct details, as sometimes they will check if you are who you say you are. Add your phone number, as sometimes they will call you to speak to you. They will ask your experience, be honest, if you're new at this, tell them you are new and want the Afiiliate Manager to show you some good converting offers to start. If they phone you and want to discuss traffic methods, tell them things like "Organic traffic" ,"Social Media", "Adwords", "FacebookAds", etc. Some people also recommend that if 24 hours has passed and you have not heard from them, give them a call if it's possible.
You will need to convince them that you will get traffic, so let them know you'll be setting up a specific Twitter account for your domain, Facebook page, etc. Maybe you'll be buying some Ads as well on Google or Facebook Ads. Always remember to tell them "if the offer allows it".
You see, some offers will say you may NOT use social media, and some will allow it, so if your chosen niche allows Facebook, then say I've looked at the offer and it's allowing me to promote Facebook Ads, so I will also be using this. Or perhaps they provide banners as well.
I found it's also useful to tell the Afiiliate Manager if they phone you, I want to run this niche, can you recommend any other offers, and what types of traffic convert the best. They are there to help you earn money, because they will earn money as well.
So, by now you should have done all the steps and have been approved for the network(s) you wanted to join. Remember, if you're not approved the first time, ask the person who you spoke to for advice in getting approved next time. Maybe they want you to improve your website or something.
So what CPA networks do I work with?
I have worked with a variety of networks previously, some have been good, some have been aweful. Be very careful of who you decide to work with, as some of them are not good at all. I used to work with Afilliaxe, and made some good money with them, to suddenly one day get an email from them saying my account was closed. I had not run any of their offers for 6 months, and then started running a few offers and placed a few of their banners on my website. They refused to answer any of my emails, banned me from their Facebook page, etc. So I can confidently say my review of Affiliaxe would be to avoid them at all costs. Do not run any of their offers, as they have a habit of banning people with no explanation. Avoid Affiliaxe CPA network.
Apart from them, I would recommend GlobalWide Media (they bought the NeverBlue network).
If you are running any Adult traffic offers, I can 100% recommend CrakRevenue. Signup here for priority approval. They have great Adult niche offers that convert very quickly, and you earn a lot of money with them. They have great Adult niche CPA, as well as offers getting people to download things. Great way to make money.
If you want to do things like content lockers, etc I would also recommend using CPALead. Signup here for priority approval. They have great mobile app install offers as well, so be sure to look at this.

Nivalis Tunic and Dress by Sofilantjes Patterns/
Hello! Leonie from Blue Wren Handmade in Australia here, ready to talk with you about the Nivalis Tunic and Dress pattern from Sofilantjes Patterns…. I am a fan. I elected to create a dress with a contrast bodice, ¾ length sleeve and lined hood. My darling little pudding is now measuring at just under a Size 7 chest and, as I continue to live in hope that this is the size where her limbs actually catch her trunk, I went with a straight size. It is a little on the bigger size all round, but I was aiming for that as it is still summer here and am wanting to stock her winter wardrobe.
I have sewed with Sofliantjes Patterns before and have previously enjoyed using them, this one is no exception {my previous statement may have given that away already…}. There is fantastic information on multi-sizing pattern pieces and very comprehensive measurement charts, in both metric and imperial. In fact, there are charts for every conceivable fabric allowance and finished measurement possible.
There is a layered printing option and another chart telling the user which pages to print for each size and pattern option {of course, I am far too lazy to have actually used it… let's just run with it being thoroughly tested and accurate!}.
The instructions have colour coded computer generated line drawings to accompany the written instructions. I have said it before, but I will say it again, I am really, really bad at reading and sewing, so I absolutely love clear pictures - they really work well with my glance and sew technique! Naturally, I did take the time to read them for this review and found them to be very concise and I do like the cute little purple boxes with the additional options and sidenotes. Furthermore, there are both written and pictorial summaries at the back of the pattern, so if you are one who likes to print your pattern instructions out, these are a great option.
There are very few photos of finished garments - not a bad thing by any means, it allows for little imagination to apply the available options and create a look you are happy with, minus the preconceived bias.
Onto the design… my daughter loves stretchy fabrics, so this is a winner. She also finally enjoys wearing dresses, so winner again. Plus there is the hood {or wood, in her whacky brain!} option, again, massive winner.
'Tis highly likely that I will be creating more of these in the coming months as, despite the continuing horrendous 30+ degree Celsius weather we are suffering here in subtropical Brisbane, my little darling even refused to take off her long sleeved dress when we went outside! Possibly I should have sewed up a capped sleeve version, but truthfully I was looking toward {and forward to} the eventually impending winter…

June 18th, 1812, President James Madison and the United States Congress declared war on Great Britain. Battles raged throughout the continent for over two years before peace was negotiated. For Americans, the War of 1812 played an important part in our nation's development. In 2012, America will commemorate our Navy's history, honor the men and women who fought for our freedom, who are serving us today, and celebrate with the world our maritime heritage. As 2012 approaches, Lynx "Americas Privateer" is scheduled to participate in the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812 and the Star-Spangled Banner. Lynx will also be a part of the culmination of the Bicentennial events at Fort McHenry in Baltimore Harbor on September 16, 2014.
Through this commemoration of the War of 1812, the important mission of Lynx and the US Navy will be advanced as we celebrate and honor the contributions the Navy has made in the building of our country while educating our communities on the important battles and historic events that took place on our very waterfronts to defend our nation.
The 122-foot top sail schooner privateer Lynx is a unique National Treasure. Launched in 2001 on plans dating from the War of 1812, the Lynx brings American history back from the past and immerses students in lessons about this nation's founding and it's defense of freedom. The original Lynx played a role in the writing of the Star Spangled Banner—our national anthem composed as the British sought to destroy Fort McHenry and the Baltimore shipyards where the Lynx and sister Baltimore clipper schooners were constructed to run the British blockade.
Seize the opportunity join our journey and help support America's Privateer. Thank you for your consideration, support and making a positive difference in today's youth.
Lynx is operated by the Lynx Educational Foundation, which is a 501-C3 non-profit organization dedicated to providing outstanding educational programs that inspire students and achieve results. Please visit our website at www.privateerlynx.org for online donations or utilize enclosed envelope. The Lynx Educational Foundation has been awarded the National Maritime Historical Society 2010 Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Maritime Education.
Fair winds and following seas!
Thanx to The Lynx Educational Foundation.
WHAT IS A PRIVATEER? A privateer is a private person or ship authorized by a government by letters of marque to attack foreign shipping during wartime. Privateering was a way of mobilizing armed ships and sailors without having to spend public money or commit naval officers. They were of great benefit to a smaller naval power or one facing an enemy dependent on trade: they disrupted commerce and pressured the enemy to deploy warships to protect merchant trade against commerce raiders. They were, essentially, a Renaissance-era equivalent to the corporate and independent "military contractors" of today.
The cost was borne by investors hoping to profit from prize money earned from captured cargo and vessels. The proceeds would be distributed among the privateer's investors, officers and crew. It has been argued that privateering was a less destructive and wasteful form of warfare, because the goal was to capture ships rather than to sink them.[1]
Privateers were part of naval warfare from the 16th to the 19th century. Some privateers have been particularly influential in the annals of history. Sometimes, the vessels would be commissioned into regular service as warships. The crew of a privateer might be treated as prisoners of war by the enemy country if captured.
Thanx to Wikipedia.

One of the joys of youth was spending hours in dingy record stores checking out all the new albums and listening to a few tracks on the headphones that generally hung in a dark corner. Hundreds of artists to choose between and often interest in a new band was awoken by the album cover. Sometimes the artwork was enough to motivate a listening and often a purchase. I confess to being particularly fond of Roger Dean's fantasy art that appeared on the albums of bands like Yes, Uriah Heep and Budgie. I also enjoyed thumbing through friends' album collections looking at the covers and sometimes reading the sleeve notes.
That pleasure has gone now that my entire music collection is stored on a thin little box called an iPod. Admittedly the player downloads a photo to go with the track but it's not much to look at, especially in the small window on the player. I've downloaded plenty of music that I know very little about and sometimes miss the old album covers with artwork to admire and sleeve notes to read. The mp3 format is music stripped bare; just the track and its title.
But wait, help is at hand according to an article on Wired.com, Is the world ready for the successor of the MP3? The mp3 format has been enhanced into musicDNA, a format that allows the automatic downloading of photos, notes and updates on the artist as well as the track itself. The battered and groggy music industry suddenly sees some relief in that there may be a way after all to provide added value for those willing to pay for their music. According to the musicDNA site the format allows legal sites to bundle other services with the format whereas the free mp3 download will be "naked".
Sounds reasonable though it's probably only a matter of time before the new format gets pirated too. Those who want everything for free will always find a way but the developers of this technology are hoping there are enough people out there willing to pay a little for the extra service.


text: I enjoy, very much, to draw in ink. I like different mediums to but ink seems to put me on the edge and forces to be more considerate. I'm realizing now that this is my biggest gallery, which is a good thing! I do draw often, but I think the gallery is so big because you can't really beat the speed of a pen/pencil and paper. It's faster than people give it credit for and very natural.

The event, to be held at the Adelaide Convention Centre, is targeted at the groups five national dealer networks which encompasses Case IH and Construction, New Holland Ag and Construction and Iveco Trucks.

Ever wondered what goes through a 'tradie's' head? It might be a scary thought to some, but as one of Australia's leading Business to Business marketing companies, with extensive experience in promoting trade-related products and services, IMA wanted to know.
When marketing products or services to B2B customers, most marketing departments focus on the promotion of their offerings to market. Which seems quite reasonable – after all, isn't that what they're there for?
But the fact is it's simply not enough when you realise that a staggering 80% of B2B customers base their purchases on Customer Experience (CX) when asked if price or CX carries more weight in their decision to buy, you soon realise.
WPP AUNZ, the region's largest marketing services group, today announced its partnership with the Australian Olympic Committee and its appointment as the official Creative Advertising Agency for the Australian Olympic Team.

Leading Australian B2B marketing agency IMA has recently welcomed Kathryn Jennings, a social media specialist to the team.
Back in April, 2015 Google made a major announcement that would prove to be a watershed moment in the history of its search engine strategy.
Following the runaway success of its inaugural publication earlier this year, Iveco, in creative collaboration with leading Australian business to business marketing agency IMA, recently released the second issue of Truck Scene, the customer magazine of Iveco Australia containing a truckload of industry news.
Leading Australian business to business marketing agency, IMA is pleased to announce the appointment of its Director and General Manager, Leo Kerema, to the Advisory Board of the Faculty of Business at the University of Wollongong.
Over the past few years, the amount of changes Google has made to their algorithm has been profound, and now that 2015 is here, these changes are only increasing in frequency. But this evolution is good. Google wants to reward great content. They want to make searchers happy. And they certainly want as few searchers as possible using another search engine.
The power of telemarketing to influence brand perceptions and deliver high level engagements with hard-to-reach prospects has been underlined by the results of a new survey by the leading British B2B marketing journal.
In business, and indeed in terms of marketing in general, public affairs (PA) and public relations (PR) are not at all the same thing and learning to distinguish between these two terms is crucial to a company's branding and overall marketing effectiveness.
IMA is part of WPP AUNZ – Australasia's largest communications and marketing group. Every WPP AUNZ company has its own identity and area of expertise. Within the WPP Group, our clients are able to access specialist companies with all the necessary skills to complement their own in-house resources.

How to set up and organize your vanity
By Carla Snuggs
When I was little, I used to dream of having a beautiful vanity chock-full of beautifully organized cosmetics and perfect lighting. However, life gets in the way, cosmetics pile up and things can get unorganized from time to time.
If your vanity is a bit unorganized and unappealing, don't fret. Posh Beauty Blog is going to show you how to beautify and organize your vanity with the help of Sharon McRill, owner of The Betty Brigade. The Betty Brigade is a personal assistance and concierge service based in Ann Arbor, Michigan that specializes in organizing, moving coordination, and event planning.
Here are Sharon's simple steps to organizing your vanity space in your home:
1. Make Space
If you don't have space in your bathroom, clear out a small area in your closet or even in your bedroom to keep your makeup and other personal supplies. This area should be easily accessible. By creating a specific place for all your supplies, you can cut down on clutter and prevent things from getting lost because they will always have a place to go. Remember to think about what TYPES of things you want to keep in or on you vanity station.
2. Cut Down the Excess
Do you really need 5 different shades of red lipstick? Think about how often you actually wear makeup, particularly the ones you have multiple of. How many kinds of hairspray or gel do you need? If you aren't using it regularly or its past 1 year old, you should probably get rid of it. The first step in organizing is sorting through it and getting rid of things you don't use.
3. Storage Solutions
Think about the purpose of your items. You want to make sure its easy to find AND easy to put away. One of my favorite ways to store makeup is on a magnet board!* You can attach it to your wall almost ANYWHERE and it keeps things in plain view so you know what's running low. It also gives your makeup collection a SIZEABLE component. If you have so much makeup that you can't possibly fit it all on a board anywhere in your home, then you should really start thinking about downsizing that collection. You can store items like lotions, hair products, and even accessories in tidy baskets on top of your vanity, or hide them in organized drawers underneath.
*How do you make a makeup magnet board?* EASY! Stay tuned, because we have a DIY Makeup Magnet Board Tutorial coming soon, courtesy of 3M!
Thanks so much for the tips, Sharon! Here are some of my favorite vanity storage and organizing solutions:
You might remember Caboodles from way back when (you know for storing your Lip Smackers, stick-on earrings and I <3 JTT pin). Well, Caboodles have grown up along with you and have a modern, sophisticated new look but are still as FUNctional ever! Here are some of the Caboodles styles that are sure to organize and beautify any vanity. The Cosmetic Counter Acrylic Tray ($26, Ulta.com) will definitely help organize and beautify your vanity!

Keep makeup organized, protected and ready to use on your vanity with Beauty Butler. Watch the very funny video at Getbeautybutler.com and discover why Brooke Burke's Modern Mom hailed Beauty Butler as a must-have. The 3 Diva Combo is my favorite and includes 3 Divas (6″ x 8″ Makeup Organizers and 60 Small & 24 Large Grab Tabs. The award winning Beauty Butler is available in Jet Set Black, or Empowered Pink, and it's guaranteed to keep the makeup on your vanity organized ($10.99 and up, Getbeautybutler.com).

Last year, TCM launched the annual Great Commission Experience with a goal to have a long-term impact on the next generation of Christian leaders. One of the ways we do this is by selecting the top-tier student leaders from TCM partner churches, and provide them with an opportunity to experience the Great Commission in a practical way. Through a variety of on-line activities, followed by a 10-day trip to Europe with TCM, the students are able to serve, study, and work alongside church groups in Europe with TCM. It is a wholistic experience where every student will be able to discover, explore, and experience what it means to respond to the Great Commission.
Give a Gift
Your gift will be used through the Great Commission Experience Endowment to help equip TCM disciple makers involved with the Great Commission Experience, financially assist trip participants, and help expand the program in years to come. You can use the online giving module below, or mail a check to TCM, PO Box 24560, Indianapolis, IN 46224. Write "GX Endowment" in the memo line.
Say a Prayer
We ask that you prayerfully seek the Lord's guidance and blessing on behalf of these students as they begin their pre-trip assignments. During the trip to Europe with TCM, you will receive short email updates so you can stay updated on how best to pray. mail Tom Sears and let him know how many students you would like to write. He will send you instructions including the names of the students needing letters. - firstname.lastname@example.com
Write a Letter
Each student will be given letters to open from you and other supporters each day on the trip. Through these letters, you have the opportunity to encourage, support, and influence the students in all six areas shown above. Please email Tom Sears and let him know you would like to be a prayer partner. You will receive email updates throughout the experience so that you can best know how to pray. - email@example.com

Its great to see that we have yet another social media strategy checklist to reference.
However, here is my question…with so many people coming out with these sorts of things as well as people claiming to be industry experts in social media, I wonder if the folks doing all of the talking could execute a strategy within a corporate environment.
Its one to talk about it on the agency side and preach the things that can be done, but its another to dig your hands in on the other side and execute.
Don't get me wrong, I am not faulting or adding fuel to the fire with Sean's article below, I am just curious as to how many people have actually executed this on the corporate side.
Chris Marriott over at iMedia talks about reactivation campaigns strategies and while basic in nature he does have some good point.
One of the things he fails to mention is that reactivation is tough and requires a tremendous amount of patience and testing in order to get it right.
I have often found that articles like this have a good message but fail to convey to the reader that this kind of stuff is really really hard work.
Also, not sure I dig the reference to calling subscribers the "living dead" as I prefer non-engaged, but since it was a Halloween reference post, I wont press that issue. Give it a read and let me know what you think.
