The special issue of the Royal Society Interface: Focus covering our meeting last year, is published today. The special issue has many excellent papers from our colleagues and collaborators, check it out - it's great! :-) Special mention should go to Mark Danson, who proposed the meeting in the first place, secured the funding for it, and then has written the issue intro paper. Well done Mark and well done all! I've been doing various press interviews in advance of publication today, so hopefully will be able to collate some of those here later.
The image below from our work at Wytham Woods is on the cover, and the various papers led by me, Yadvinder and others, have examples of our work from Wytham, Gabon, Ghana, Brazil and Borneo.

Making friends has never been Elise Dembowski's strong suit. All throughout her life, she's been the butt of every joke and the outsider in every conversation. When a final attempt at popularity fails, Elise nearly gives up. Then she stumbles upon a warehouse party where she meets Vicky, a girl in a band who accepts her; Char, a cute, yet mysterious disc jockey; Pippa, a carefree spirit from England; and most importantly, a love for DJing.
Told in a refreshingly genuine and laugh-out-loud funny voice, THIS SONG WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE is an exuberant novel about identity, friendship, and the power of music to bring people together.
I was sent a proof copy of this book for review from the fabulous people at Macmillan Children's Books UK and was so very glad to receive it. I've always loved my music and it's played a big part in my life and growing-up years. Even the title of this book had me drawn in so I was more than happy to accept a copy to review.
Elise is an oddball in her own life, not fitting-in at school, no close friends and her divided family loving her but maybe not understanding her. She decides that, one day, she's reached her limit in life and wants it all to go away. After a close-call suicide attempt, she's slowly working out that she just doesn't fit in and never will. Then she finds Start, an underground night club where all are embraced and the music is everything. Elise becomes sucked into this world and the people in it, even though she's sixteen and sneaking out at night to meet them all at the club. She gets taken on as an apprentice of sorts by the star DJ, Char, and soon finds she has a talent as a DJ. Will her secret life fall about once it's discovered or will she survive it all?
I'm not holding back because I found little, if any, fault in this book. My reading tastes always vary from time to time but a truly great book sticks out and shines no matter what mood you're in. Leila Sales writing is beautiful and she captures then heart-ache of teenager isolation in a way that mades me feel like it was yesterday. She's studied the craft of DJing and the love of music that makes you want to dive head-first into your own records and MP3s and find more gems hidden away in the dark corners. The characters are fantastic and felt like real people, rather than fake persons.
The messages in the story are hard-hitting at times and aren't always easy to digest but that's the way they should be. Issues like teen depression, suicide, social isolation and divorced families are all covered and they are covered in a very bold way. I think this book is going to hit home with a lot of YA readers and could make a real impact on many lives because it tells you that even when things are at their darkest, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Powerful reading with a moral heart, and a soundtrack, to live by. Sublime.

Chord Symbols Simplified
Learning how to read and write chord symbols can be confusing, overly complicated, and frustrating. But here's a bit of truth – It doesn't need to be any of those things.
At its core it is pretty simple. It can get complicated if you try to cover every corner case that might come up. So what I"m going to do here is give you the basics, the 20% you will use 80% of the time. This is a variant of the Pareto principle.
I plan to write another article that covers chord theory in depth but for this article I assume that you understand the basics of how chords are constructed. Example : That you understand the difference between a dominant 7 chord and a major 7th chord.
Look for the FREE gift at the end of this blog.
So let's get started!
Note Names
Notes (or pitches) are named from A – G and then the sequence repeats. So a C major scale goes:
Notes that are an "octave" apart use the same note name. They are called octaves because there are 8 diatonic steps between them. From the Latin "octava" meaning eighth day.
Note Names are followed by "modifiers". A modifier modifies or adds to the definition of the chord. There are many modifiers but we will only look at the ones that are used frequently in popular music. The Jazz idiom makes use of a much more complicated set of modifiers (example: C#m7b5b9 – no need to go there) but these chords are rarely used in popular music idioms such as folk, rock, pop, etc ….
Sharps and Flats
A Note Name can be modified raising or lowering by a minor second/half step by adding the following modifier after the Note Name:
# = raise a half step
b = lowe a half step
Examples: D# , Db
Major and Minor
Note Names are followed by the Major/Minor modifier. If there is no modifier listed the assumption is Major. If the Note Name is followed by the small letter "m" then the chord is interpreted as a minor chord. A second form is to use a "dash" as the modifier for minor.
Example: F = F major chord, Fm = F minor chord, F- = F minor chord (this works better in written form as the dash really needs to be like a superscript raised up a bit)
7th Chord
7th chords can be a little confusing because there is an assumption that you have to have a clear understanding of or it can be frustrating. The number "7" after a Note Name infers a Dominant 7 or flat 7 as opposed to a Major 7. To designate a major 7 chord you add an additional modifier between the Note Name and the number "7"..
Example: F7 = F dominant 7, FM7 or FMaj7 = F major 7
Minor 7th Chords use the small "m" indicating that the chord is minor and the number "7" indicating that the 7th has been added to the chord.
Example: Fm7 = F minor 7
9th Chord
The modifier of the number "9" indicates the addition of the 9th degree of the scale. It also has an assumption associated with it. It can cause some confusion. The chord "F9" infers that the dominant 7th is also added to the chord.
Example: F9 = F7 plus the 9th degree of the scale.
A chord with the major 7th and the additional chord tone of the 9 is notated:
Example: FMaj9
Minor chords with the 9 added are notated also infer that the 7 is in the chord as well.
Example: Fm9
Suspended Chords
The concept of a suspended chord or "sus" chord implies that the 3rd of the chord is "replaced" by the 2nd or the 4th degree of the scale. That means that the chord does NOT contain the 3rd of the chord. The sus is indicated by "sus" in parentheses.
Example: F(sus2) or F(sus4) or F7(sus2) or F7(sus4)
Add 9 or Add 11 Chords
The concept of an "Add" Chord is that the scale degree indicated is added to the chord triad. Note that the 9 is the same note as the 2 and the 11 is the same note as the 4)
Example: F(add 9) , F(add 11)
There is an important difference between these chords and the F(sus2) and F(sus4). The easy way to remember this is "sus" chords don't have the 3rd in them. The 3rd is substituted by the added note. And "add" chords do have the 3rd as well as the added note.
There are several other corner cases but this will get you 80% there with 20% of the information. Following are some examples of chord progressions.
Cmaj7 Dm Em7 Am7
Fmaj7 Dm G(sus4) G7
Cmaj7 Em7 E7 F G9
C Em(add 11) Am7
Fmaj7 Fm7 Cmaj 7
I hope you find this useful and it will serve as a good solid start to understanding chord symbols and their use in charting songs for your studio sessions. My next couple of articles will cover chord theory explaining how chords are constructed (what notes make up a given chord and why), and several different systems of charting (chord symbols over lyrics, chord symbols over slashes, the Nashville System, etc….)
As always let's go out there and make some music!!!!

RBS may sell commercial mortgage debt
Royal Bank of Scotland Group is selling bonds backed by commercial mortgages from several borrowers in the first sale of its kind since June 2008, gauging investor demand for the debt amid climbing defaults. The offering, backed by 81 properties in states from New York to Missouri, comprises $240.8m in top-rated securities, according to people familiar with the sale who declined to be identified because terms are private. The new issue highlights a challenge facing Wall Street in reviving the $700bn market as delinquencies rise and the value of mortgages fluctuates. Unlike other banks working on sales, UK-based RBS skirted the risk of holding the debt by not closing the loans as they were being pooled, the people said. RBS bankers have been arranging the deal for several months, they said. "Nobody wants to sit with a huge book of business they haven't sold," said John Levy, president of Richmond, Virgina- based real estate investment banking firm John B. Levy & Co. "Accumulating this stuff for the long term is a problem. What if the music stops again?"

When I first spotted the red ewe lamb in the yard, I paused.
In all of our years of raising lambs, we've never had one escape the pasture. Upon finding no holes in the mesh that separated the yard and pasture, I chalked it up to wings.
Weeks passed before, once again, I found a red ewe lamb in the yard. Was there some gap between the ground and fence?
Yesterday, when photographing sheep, I found the problem.
A concrete block had been moved, thus creating an opening. As I put the block in place, the lamb ran up the driveway, through the yard and toward the barn.
I followed.
Try as I may, I could not find wings.
I was hoping for wings.
But when I returned home from work today, I found this same lamb in the yard.
She looked at me and winked.

Alas, No Wings

Supermarine S.6B S1595, flown by Flight Lieutenant G. H. Stainforth, 13 September 1931
When one thinks of the Schneider Trophy air races, one of the aircraft that springs to mind is the Supermarine S.6B. Piloted by Flight Lieutenant J. N. Boothman, S.6B S1596 established an average speed of 340 8 mph (547.3 km/h) over the Schneider course on 13 September 1931. winning the trophy outright for Great Britain On the same day, S.6B S1595, flown by Flight Lieutenant G. H. Stainforth, was flown to a speed of 379 mph (610 km/h) to attain a new world absolute air speed record. The same aircraft then bettered this at 407.5 mph (655.8 km/h) with A. H. Orlebar at the controls on 29 September.
Supermarine Speed Spitfire' N.17 (K9834)
The Speed Spitfire', actually K9834 but renumbered N.17, was a Spitfire Mk I modified for an attempt on the world air speed record in 1938. The aircraft had a flush riveted-skin, modified windscreen, larger radiator and oil cooler, four-bladed propeller, tailskid and reduced-span wings In the event, the Heinkel He 100 V8 pushed the air speed record to 463.92 mph (746 59 km/h) before any attempt could be made N.17 was then converted to Spitfire Mk II standard and used as a photo-reconnaissance aircraft.
Fairey FD.2 WG774, flown by Peter Twiss, 10 March 1956
During the immediate post-war period and throughout the 1950s, Great Britain was at the forefront of aircraft technology It was typical of the British industry at the time that Fairey FD.2 (Fairey Delta 2) WG774, piloted by Peter Twiss. smashed the air speed record on 10 March 1956, recording a speed of 1,132 mph (1822 km/h). It also became the first aircraft in the world to exceed 1,000 mph (1609 km/h) in level flight. It is shown here as it appeared at the time of the record flight. Later it was finished in an attractive overall blue scheme, with white cheatlines, to mark the event.
Supermarine Swift F. Mk 4 WK198, flown by Mike Lithgow, Libya, 25 September 1953
Mike Lithgow, flying Swift F. Mk 4 WK198 (actually the F. Mk 4 prototype), broke the world air speed record in 1953, attaining a speed of 737.3 mph (1186.5 km/h) (later revised to 735 mph/1182 8 km/h).
Gloster Meteor F. Mk IV EE455, flown by Eric Greenwood. RAF High Speed Flight, 7 November 1945
One of the more famous record-breaking Meteors, EE455 was nicknamed The Yellow Peril. A similar aircraft in full camouflage. EE454, was nicknamed Britannia. Eric Greenwood flew EE455 in an attempt to break the world air speed record. He averaged 603 mph (970 km/h) over four runs on 7 November 1945, but could not beat the record-breaking 606 mph (975 km/h) average set by Group Captain Wilson in EE454 earlier in the day.

A RECENT day of action saw thousands of campaigners the length and breadth of the UK out in force, along with Labour frontbenchers, to raise awareness of the realities facing people in Britain today – on what was so aptly called 'Cost of Cameron' day.
Here in Wales activists were out across the country, and I joined local campaigners in both Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan, to highlight the cost of living crisis that continues to engulf so many families.
Because the stark truth is that while David Cameron and George Osborne talk about recovery, there are millions of people across the country – and thousands right here in the Cardiff South and Penarth constituency – for whom there has simply been no economic recovery at all.
The truth is that working people have suffered a massive fall in the value of real earnings since David Cameron became Prime Minister. Prices are soaring, while wages are falling – and after three damaging years of a flat-lining economy, working people are on average £1,600 a year worse off thanks to the Prime Minister.
Prices have risen faster than wages in every month bar one while David Cameron has been in Downing Street; and real wages will have fallen by 5.8 per cent by the end of the Parliament.
Meanwhile the cost of gas, electricity and other household bills continues to rise, and many people have been forced to make some very tough choices this winter, as they struggle to balance family needs with increasingly stretched household incomes.
David Cameron can't deal with the cost of living crisis because he stands up for a privileged few, not for ordinary families.
Why else would he cut tax for people on over £150,000 a year while raising it for everyone else? Why else are small businesses struggling to get credit, but bankers' bonuses are up 82 per cent?
The Cost of Cameron's policies is too high, and it is hard-working people that are footing the bill. This can't go on, and it's time for the Prime Minister to take urgent action.
That's why I campaigned on 'Cost of Cameron' day, so that we can get the message out there that Labour will change our economy and ensure that living standards rise for the many, not just a few at the top.

Wear Your Words
At Car Window Poetry, we believe words matter.
We believe small acts of love can make a big difference in people's lives.
That's why we empower people to write encouraging poems and anonymously share them on car windows in their communities.
It's also why I'm so excited to announce that we have teamed up with LIVE A GREAT STORY to release a new line of encouraging Reminder products!
I first learned about LIVE last winter like many of us do — I started seeing them everywhere. I kept seeing my friends post pictures of the stickers on their Instagram accounts, so I knew this movement must be worth following.
After reaching out to Zach (LIVE's founder) in December, we began collaborating on True Stories events in Colorado Springs. At these gatherings, we invite people to hear others' stories and better understand the value of their own stories.
We also began inviting people to share their own Car Window Poetry poems at LIVE mini-conferences across the United States.
As we embark on this new frontier of launching a line of Car Window Poetry LIVE shirts, we're once again inviting you to consider the story you're living and make a difference in people's lives by sharing your story with others.
On the front of each shirt, there's an encouraging Reminder inspired by words that have been shared on Car Window Poetry poems around the world.
Our hope is that these shirts will not only put a smile on people's faces, but that you or the person who sees you wearing one will look at the words and say, "I needed that today."
You can get your hands on one of these Car Window Poetry LIVE shirts here!
And guess what — if you use coupon code "carwindowpoetry" at checkout, you'll be able to get 10% off your purchase!
We all have the ability to share words, even if you don't consider yourself a poet. When people come together, acknowledge life is a story worth living and choose to go out and share their words together, hope happens. Beauty happens. Our communities are made better.
With love,

When older people are cheated out of their money or property through illegal or deceptive means, they may be the victims of financial elder abuse. This type of abuse can be perpetrated by family members or strangers, and can often have devastating financial consequences. The elderly are among the most vulnerable among us, and many states have enacted laws to make financial abuse a crime. In addition to criminal prosecution, people can protect themselves against elder law abuse by retaining the services of an elder law attorney.
Attorneys are bound by strict ethical rules to act in the best interest of their clients, and any deviation from that standard could result in career ending discipline from the attorney's licensing authority. An attorney who specializes in protecting older people from financial elder abuse can help in many ways, including:
These are just some of the ways that an attorney may be able to help prevent or rectify financial elder abuse. If you have been the victim of this type of abuse, a lawsuit may allow you to recover the money or property that has been taken from you, any attorney's fees incurred, as well as punitive damages in some cases.

Giuditta Pasta
Artist - Saronno 26/10/1797 - Como 01/04/1865
The "divine" Giuditta Negri Pasta, actress, singer and patriot made her debut at 17, becoming one of the lyric artists who contributed towards creating the fame of La Scala. Born in Saronno in 1797, she studied at the Milan Conservatory and in 1816, married the lawyer Giuseppe Pasta who was also a tenor. She had a full warm voice and great stage presence as well as being an excellent actress. She died in Como from bronchitis in 1865. The town of Saronno dedicated a theatre in honour of her memory in 1990.
Anecdotes and curiosities
The Regio Ducal Teatro of Milan was burnt in three separate fires, and after the last in 1776, the Nuovo Regio Ducal Teatro was built, later known as the world-famous La Scala Opera House. Known as "Il tempio della lirica", it was inaugurated in great pomp and splendour in 1778.
After concession by Maria Theresa of Austria, it was financed by the Austrian government and several opera box owners. The theatre was designed by the architect Piermarini, who observed certain functional criteria, creating rooms for dining and gambling, shops, and bathroom facilities.
The main theatre featured an innovative horse-shoe form which was considered the best acoustic design during that period. The façade included a clever aspect which made history at the time: the horse-carriage portico that permitted opera-goers to enter the theatre without getting wet. Owners would receive guests, dine, sleep, and even make love in their opera boxes.
On the other hand, the seating could be removed from the orchestra stall area to transform it into a ball-room. After several large-scale reconstruction interventions, the last was designed by the Swiss architect Mario Botta.

De-constructing/stretching our stash and getting more creative!
Hi, Cynthia here!
Today we will be playing on being creative whilst stretching our stash, something I learned years ago in The Art Journal Caravan. The idea to use this for this scrap came to me when scrapping one of the many pages I made with the super awesome collab Dear Karma #4 – iL Dolce Far Niente, part of the series with Etc by Danyale and Little Butterfly Wings.
Both designers make papers that sometimes I just want to stick a photo and nothing else, or maybe write some journaling or scrap in a tiny bit of the page, their papers are master pieces on their own!
I absolutely LOVE patterns and creative mixed media papers but (I have to confess) I am nowhere near being able to combine too well, with some exceptions of course, but with such amazing papers, the idea of "de-contsruction" seemed superb!
I'm sure many of you have done this at one time or another : cut of a piece of the paper and convert it into an element, or even a few pieces pf the paper and work them into elements and combine them, even to make another element of the pieces.
I do have the simplest of the options in the page that gave me the idea, made with Dear Karma 4 : Il Dolce Far Niente – There is a gorgeous paper with puzzle pieces and immediately reminded me of some templates I scrapped last year and thought it would be amazing to do something of the type….. this is the page I made:
This is one simpler way to work it, but I know there are so many papers from Danyale 's kits I have "extracted", cut, erased around them to turn them into another possibility. If you like mixed media/art journaling, you can even build houses (Danyale has these amazing templates for it!) or anything, really, knowing you all. I know you will come up with awesome ways!
In this page I have taken a piece of ephemera and concerted into an element – the trapeze lady I cut out and erased around as much as possible, so, a bit like an extraction. I then gave it a subtle border to make it look better.
All the Dear Karma Series products have amazing papers, and here are some of my most favorite papers from Danyale's store to play with "de-constructing".
Hope to see you at the chat August 22nd , is 2pm EDT- 7pm GMT/ UK – 8pm Europe

Whether your organization is a giant organization or just a child firm, because of the development in technology, having a credit card applicatoin is just as crucial as having an online business on the web. An application can prove to be very important tools for businesses operating in a highly competitive environment whether it's to keep up with trends or to simply just aid certain marketing process. Listed here are seven reasons why your business must have an app.
1. Increasing customer engagement
Online applications hold great possible as it pertains to consumer that is increasing, because the internet has taken over people along with the personal sphere, the wide array of features present in applications may be used to increase customer engagement, such as e-commerce transactions, providing valuable announcement to customers through the application, deployment of loyalty cards, etc. Little engagements like these may keep consitently the clients finding its way back for lots more.
2. stick out from competitors
Whilst it might be real that technology is overtaking the business world, but, not totally all company come in the grasp associated with the notion of buying an application. This might be a valuable platform to exploit the marketplace in new methods, particularly if the industry your company is operating in isn't technology oriented. This ahead thinking approach may incline clients to explore just what the business has to offer, further adding in product sales.
3. Consumer loyalty
This could be the perfect platform to achieve consumer loyalty as everyone is aware of the growing popularity when it comes to cell phone applications. Present stats show that in 2014, 36% of smartphones and 45% of tablet users had bought at least one software for their device. With a direct and effective two-way communication with clients, you're bound to catch the viewers's attention. And in case you are good at selling the advantages of buying items or solutions from your own company, you're likely to run into a few faithful customers and with all the time that how many devoted customers is going to be expected to grow. Because let's face it, billboards, adverts, etc. might easily get the viewers's attention, but the application that is mobile just what may help the business enterprise to keep those consumers.
4. Partnering with other organizations
Integration is extremely common into the continuing business world, but exactly what will make that integration progress smoothly will be the inclusion of mobile applications. If both the businesses are part of a software in which the views or engagement of clients is reasonably measurable, as an example, the amount of loves on a Facebook page or the amount of supporters on an Instagram account, then that would be utilized to improve the success of both the firms, in situations like these, using the features or solutions in those social media applications such as for example a tag or a shoutout could increase consumer understanding to a fantastic extend.
5. to improve sales
Many clients are susceptible to embracing businesses where convenience to consumer is evident. In order for a small business to increase product sales throughout that segment associated with market, different measures ought to be taken, one of that should be to buy a credit card applicatoin. Different retail applications such as for instance CVS Caremark and Walgreens enables you to let clients access the company and make requests during the comfort of the homes that are own. This could boost up product sales to a great extend.
6. to generate awareness
In accordance with a Gallup survey, 90% of that time period invested by an average American is staunched towards application use. This shows that a cell phone application may be the perfect device to produce awareness among clients. Incorporating in new features or marketing that is simply devising like contests held online during public holiday breaks during that application could draw people's attention towards your organization. This could be very valuable to businesses that are new aim to break right into the marketplace.
7. Collecting better analysis
Although many businesses still choose general market trends the old fashioned method, a mobile phone application could also hold great potential when it comes to analysis the demand trends along with the range views rather than the amount of product sales. In some cases, the analysis from mobile phone applications can help the company far more as in comparison to field research. Various applications have now been introduced within the app store for that extremely reason, for instance, iconosquare.com which integrates with Instagram to provide better analysis of customer engagement.
Consequently, cell phone applications may hold great advantageous assets to various companies operating in various industries.

antique advertising imageA huge proportion of tech news has to do with online advertising: studies on its efficacy, technologies for serving ads, ad revenue ups and downs, and acquisitions having to do with any of those. The reality, however, is that we don't know much about how to really leverage online advertising, and we have a lot to learn.
What set me off to begin with was an opinion piece on WSJ.com by Esther Dyson, which hovered near getting it, but ultimately missed by a mile. Ms. Dyson made the point that the "traditional" online advertising is fading, but asserts that advertisers' audience members are best accessed in social communities, and that data will ultimately be compiled and disseminated to advertisers by ISPs. As much as I think any ISP would love to get their hands on that sort of ad revenue (as noted by the newish hijacking of my URL typos by Time Warner Roadrunner), it's impractical. How can you assume that the same person is always using the same IP? Are all ISPs going to move to a static IP addressing scheme? What about VPN clients and WiFi access points and mobile browsing? There are too many holes in this concept for it to work until they can track me by serial number on the plug in my head. Three UK ISPs are willing to give it a try, however.
The formation of quadrantONE completely misses this boat, and somehow thinks that trying to compete with Google in the blanket-your-ad model still makes sense. The main problem with newspapers as they exist now is that they are still in the business of trying to have something for everyone, and aren't able to sort content for readers. I'd be far more willing to subscribe to an online newspaper that customized content specifically according to my needs (and feel free to subsidize part of the cost with targeted ads) than I am for a paper copy that arrives in my box every morning with last night's news and ads I never even see. Of course, quadrantONE took some of their advice from Nielsen, who can't even manage to figure out if advertising actually accomplishes anything, so that may have been their first problem.
Ms. Dyson was right, however, when she said that the current model is losing ground. Google themselves saw a dip in their share of the U.S. ad market last quarter, and while they are still performing well, there is already a trend to head more toward niche marketing. Vertical ad/content networks like BlogHer and Glam.com are already eating into Google's model in small bites. What makes more sense as an advertiser? Buying your AdWords and splashing them over how many thousands of sites where people are already immune to seeing the same ads (yelling smilies, anyone?), or focusing your efforts on a specific area of content that appeals to your target demographic?
Here's what we do know: the people who are clicking through on ads aren't the people advertisers really want to go after. A joint study by comScore, Starcom, and TACODA recently discovered that over 50% of click-thrus are from 6% of the online population, and that 6% skews toward a household income under $40,000. In other words, not the people who are going to be doing a lot of online shopping.
The traditional ad folks like Google and Yahoo are trying something new in going to video, with Google testing video ads and Yahoo snapping up Maven. Other ad companies like Gorilla Nation also think that video ads are the next wave in advertising. And of course, we have the social networking idea, which is being flayed virtually everywhere. People don't go to social networks to shop; they go to socialize.
The reality, however, is that if users aren't clicking through ads as they are now, why on earth would they click to sit through a video ad? This is old-school advertising, designed for a time when television also served all things to all people and you sat through commericial breaks instead of fast-forwarding with your DVR. Niche cable networks have found success providing a smaller, more concentrated market for advertisers, and online companies are following suit. GoFish has launched an ad/content network geared at children and teens, while MTV Networks (which also owns Nickelodeon) acquired a whole parenting content network in Babunga.
But even in a combination ad/content network model, an assumption is made about the audience. Fashion and gossip web sites must be read by women. Tech sites must be read by a predominantly male audience. The ads are still going to be fairly predictable, and ignore those outside the "typical" demographic. So who really has the right idea?
Amazon has the right idea, that's who. With their latest move, testing ads, I'm convinced that Jeff Bezos is a genius. Amazon has all the information at its fingertips that Beacon went so very wrong with, and they have been very upfront about collecting it. They have your purchase history dating back to your very first purchase on the site, and display it for you right in your account. They have a wide variety of products from nearly every possible retail market, from groceries to media to electronics, and with the addition of merchant storefronts through the Amazon system, they increase that data set. Who knows you better than Amazon, and who could target you better? They already show you what other people who've purchased what you purchase. The make product suggestions based on your purchase history. Serving the ads will only take it a step further, providing advertisers with as targeted an audience as they could get, and reducing the amount of ad noise you are subjected to. They may or may not succeed, but at least they are on the right track. Imagine Amazon tied into your content network. It may be a little Big Brother-esque, but it's an advertiser's dream.

Beciul Domnesc winery is located in Odobesti, Vrancea county, just 14 km from Focsani city.
This historical monument dates from the fourteenth century, during the reign of Stephen the Great. In 1834, Prince Michael Sturza, entering into possession of over 200 hectares of vineyards, became the owner of the ruins as well as two stone cellars. One of them was Beciul Domnesc (the Royal cellar). It was renovated and strengthened between 1834-1849. The manufacturer of the cellar, Asanache Panfil, thought of a perfect place for aging wine. Porous stone brought from Milcov was used. Above the entrance of the cellar there is an engraved stone with Cyrillic letters, alongside the emblem of Moldova, the head of an aurochs and flags, symbols proving the age of the cellar.
For the reasons described above, this monument is one of the oldest buildings of its kind and purpose in Romania. Beciul Domnesc was included on the List of Historical Monuments of Romania and the National Register of Touristic Heritage in Romania.
Since 1944, Beciul Domnesc, looking like a ruin, became active when taken up by Vinalcool Vrancea - the company now called Vincon Vrancea. The company started the restoration work needed and brought life back not only to the construction but also to its function - professional wine cellar that houses part of the treasure of Romanian wines.
Since 2000, the name of this symbol-winery of the Romanian viticulture and winemaking from the Carpathian curvature was inextricably linked to the name of the company that integrally restored its cellar function, so when we refer to this winery today, we refer to it as Beciul Domnesc - Vincon Vrancea.
Beciul Domnesc is cross-shaped and access is done through a massive wooden door in which symbols that recall the cultural and spiritual significance of the cellar are carved. The stone stairs go down to the cellars where we encounter semicircular arches reinforced and strengthened with brick every five meters. The cellar is naturally ventilated through vents provided since its birth. Although the winery is located in full seismic region, it was never destroyed by earthquakes in its 5 centuries of existence.
The climate inside the cellar is maintained throughout the year, with a temperature of 7-9 ⁰C and constant humidity, allowing the more than 100,000 bottles of wine to breathe slowly and leisurely, adding more quality, elegance and refinement to each wine. Also preserved here are wines that belong to the cultural heritage of Romania. The oldest wines date back to 1949 - an example is a bottle of Băbească de Nicorești which did not become an "old" wine, but a wine of "collection".
As a sign of respect for this valuable legacy and for the tradition of the inhabitants of Vrancea - the region with the largest area of vineyards in Romania, Vincon has created a remarkable selection of wines bearing the names of Beciul Domnesc, Comoara Pivniței, Oenoteca and Vinoteca.
Winery can be visited only in organized groups of minimum 8, after obtaining the accept of the company for each such visit, by e-mail at email@example.com.
Bottles of wine can be purchased on the official website www.vincon.ro.

Andrew Graham doesn't know how long he'll be a career musician, but aspires to play new material always. This future doesn't seem unlikely for the composer and frontman of Swarming Branch, as he releases playful pop rock music with a unique flux of musicians that changes with each new project. On their latest album release, this year's Surreal Number, we experience the imaginative synthesizer, groovy rhythm sections, and quirky lyrics that have shaped the music of band since it formed in 2009.
We chatted with Graham about learning to lead a band, his unique lyrical style, and finding a way to keep playing, no matter what.
Marmoset: Can you tell me how Swarming Branch came to be?
Andrew Graham: I was in another group in Columbus before that, which was regrettably called RTFO Bandwagon, which was an REO Speedwagon joke. When that group ended, I was trying to think of a group that I could have where I was the only permanent member and people could come and go, and it could have some longevity rather than forming and quitting bands over and over. The name originally referred to that revolving door aspect in terms of the swarming, with branch being more of a bank branch or a library branch -- a unit that is always changing.
That was in 2009 that I started the group. Now, the recordings are mostly the same three people -- that's myself and our drummer, Lon Leary, and a keyboard player, Dane Terry. So, it has become more of a traditional band.
You were saying that it's becoming more of a traditional band, but can you speak to when there was a flux of band members? It sounds like it was intentional to have band members coming in and out. How did that affect the music that you made?
I think that it's an exercise as the band leader both in having a lot of control but also sacrificing control. I don't like to demand that people try to imitate the style of other players really closely, so you have to let what's going to happen, happen. But then, you still get to exert a lot of control in terms of selecting the musicians in the first place.
In terms of recording, I arrange very little of the other musicians' parts. So, if you hear something on the record, it's usually the idea of whoever is playing the part, with rare exceptions. I'll write a theme for a chorus or something, but it's usually just a few bars at a time.
What would others be surprised to know about you?
In terms of a fun fact category, I've never been admitted to a hospital. I was born at home, and I've never been injured seriously enough to have to go to the hospital. I was born in my parent's living room. I'm trying to think of something on a more serious note.
I don't know, that was pretty good.
All right, let's go with that.
Can you talk a bit about your creative process as a musician? Do you need to be in a certain space to come up with something, or does it just come to you at any time?
It's a year or two in between records, typically. I'll just make note of the songs that I've been enjoying during that period. Then, I often work with a metronome and check out how fast these songs are, figure out why the movement of these things speaks to me. Then I'll build drum tracks on a drum machine and start playing around with a similar rhythm and tempo but totally different chords ,melodies and subject matter. So, the the movement of the songs never end up sounding similar. But I compose before I start writing lyrics.
How do you add those lyrics with the other band members?
I usually send out demos of chords with basic melodies to preview some things that are going to be on our record. Some of them work out their parts in advance before the cold sessions, and others look at it a few times and then react to the other musicians live in the studio. Usually by that time it's gotten a couple lines to the chorus, maybe the first line of speech verse, and some kind of speaking in tongues or gibberish into the microphone while we're recording the lead vocal. Then I finalize the lyrics and sing the final lead vocal as the last element of the recording.
That's pretty much become a ratified process over the last couple of years. It used to happen with a lot more variety, but pretty much every song that we've recorded recently has used that process. A lot of times I'm referring back to the sound of the phrases of gibberish that I sang that I liked. I'll isolate the sound of certain phrases and seek words that sound as similar to them as possible, which is kind of funny because it ends up sacrificing the clear meaning sometimes.
What's the best piece of advice you have for a musician who's just starting out?
Two things I typically tell people are never go on tour without making a recording that you're totally happy with beforehand, both in terms of the sound of it and the presentation. The other thing is that they should expect to really invest themselves in it for about 15 years before they start thinking in terms of success and failure. I don't think it's reasonable to expect to know whether or not you're really suited for it without putting in a considerable amount of time. I've been playing guitar now for about 21 years, but I've only been pursuing music professionally for about eight years, so I'm about halfway through my trial period. But a lot of times, people will want advice for how they can make things happen right away, and I just don't really have anything to say.
What do you think success will be like for you? What does that mean to you?
At this point, it's really just about being able to perform in front of audiences and have people anticipating every show. There's a certain threshold of energy that needs to be crossed for a show to be successful, and even just having, say, 15 percent of the audience really anticipating the show and being there for you just changes everything. I'd say as long as I see everyone in my band just having fun and there's an audience, that's good enough.

At present, there are many homeowners who shift from one residence to another for many reasons. Some of these include rental contract comes to an end, because some may move to their own house or migrate overseas. As a fact, preparing for a shift would be tiring and stressful. Are you nearing end of the tenet agreement for the apartment? If you're thinking of looking for a new home, you might have started skimming through real estate deals. Given that, majorities use these storing facilities for many reasons. For instance imagine that you've been offered a transfer overseas and you decide to move with the family. This would follow into a long process of looking for living quarters, schools, transportation services and so on.
Therefore, even if all of these get sorted out, you would require time to settle down. For that matter, you might have to keep your furnishings in your home country, until you have organized yourself overseas. This is one of the common situations where these companies play an important role in offering these services. As a fact, individuals could be free from worry, even if the shifting procedure would take a long time. Given that, here's why these companies are important for individuals:
• Various services
Whether you're planning to shift overseas, interstate or another residence in your locality, there are many storing companies. Theses companies are extremely useful, when you wish to keep furnishings prior and after the move. Therefore, skim through reputed and safe movers in Dubai to all these situations.
• Assist in moving
What's more beneficial if given the option to choose separate service providers for moving and storing? Majorities of these companies also assist individuals with moving, apart from storing space. As a fact, you could find attractive packages that include services for both shifting and rental storing space. The workers are trained in providing the best services for moving.
• Multiple options
Do you require a lot of space or small space for temporary use? When you look at the facilities storage businesses, you'd be able to choose the desired space. That is, there are small lockers for furnishings, space for vehicles and so on. On the other hand, packages include short-term and long-term options as well.
Are you planning to relocate to another state soon? Have you looked for a professional moving company for the shift? If so, you might also want to consider searching for a storing company to keep certain items until everything is settled in the new residence, apartment or overseas move.

Have you ever wondered why photographers call a certain time of day the GOLDEN HOUR?!
I will tell you why, BECAUSE ITS THE BEST HOUR OF THE DAY for lighting. NO JOKE. NO LIE. The best photos happen during this time of day right before the sun sets, the light in the sky is gorgeous. The images taken during this time frame seem to be more whimsical, magical, and breathtaking.
This is why when Katie and Pete said yes to the "golden hour" family session at Green Isle Park I was more than ecstatic!
Now in most cases when a family session is taking place with at least three little ones, I expect the family to be about.. 10 mins late. Not because they were trying, but because I grew up in home with four other sisters and I know the struggle is real. Katie and Pete however, we early! EARLY! With three kids. I was more than impressed.
True to form, the littlest ones always tend to 'do their own thing' so to speak. No exception with Miss Little Gemma. She danced, ran, cried, and laughed. All emotions I love to see in Candid photos. Most photographers that work with children know sometimes you just need to let them do their own thing. From there, things become NATURAL. Beauty comes from NATURAL moments between a family.
Like when Big Brother Landon does something, so does Asher. Naturally the little brother has to follow the cool brother. At least at that age :D!
It was so much fun working with you and your family! Your photos were taken in the best possible light.. but your family brought them to life. Your family portrays happiness, brotherly love, crazy wild and free princesses, and a loving Mom and Dad.
Thank you for making my job so easy,
With Love,

Am I Charlie?
Shortly after the news of the savage massacre of the Charlie Hebdo's staff, in Paris, splashed across the network, I said "I am Charlie!" In no uncertain terms I repeated this, in French, "Je suis Charlie" and in Farsi, "من چارلی هستم". But, am I Charlie?

The human body has an endocannabinoid process (ECS) that gets and translates signals it receives from cannabinoids in the body. The body creates some cannabinoids on its own, which are named endocannabinoids. The ECS assists manage features such as rest, immune-system responses, and pain.
THC produces a "high" emotion by affecting the brain's endocannabinoid receptors. That triggers the brain's incentive system, making satisfaction chemicals such as for instance dopamine.
CBD is a completely different substance, and their outcomes are very complex. It is not psychoactive, meaning it does not make a "large" or modify a person's state of mind. As an alternative, it impacts the human body to utilize its own endocannabinoids more effectively.
Relating to one study submitted to Neurotherapeutics, this is because CBD itself does hardly any to the ECS. Instead, it invokes or inhibits other materials in the endocannabinoid system.
For instance, CBD stops the human body from absorbing anandamide, one compound related to regulating pain. Increased quantities of anandamide in the system might lower the quantity of pain an individual feels.
Cannabidiol could also limit irritation in the mind and nervous program, that might help persons experiencing pain, insomnia, and specific immune-system responses.
There are various achat graine cannabis of compounds within the organic hemp or weed plant. CBD levels differ relying how the seed is bred. Many CBD oil comes from commercial hemp, which often includes a larger CBD material than marijuana.
Makers of CBD fat use various methods to get the compound. The extract is then put into a provider fat and named CBD oil. CBD gas is available in numerous benefits and is utilized in different ways. It is most beneficial to discuss CBD fat with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using it.
Great things about CBD fat for suffering
CBD gas has been typically useful for 1000s of decades to deal with numerous types of pain, but it has only lately begun to be studied again by the medical community. Listed below are some of the potential advantages of CBD oil:
Their study observed a significant decline in inflammation and signals of pain, without extra side effects.
Persons using CBD fat for arthritis may find respite from their suffering, but more human studies must be performed to confirm these findings.
Muscle spasms are one of the most common symptoms of MS. These spasms can be so great they trigger regular pain in certain people.
One record discovered that short-term use of CBD fat can reduce steadily the levels of spasticity an individual feels. The answers are moderate, but lots of people described a decrease in symptoms. More individual reports are expected to confirm these results.

Create a bespoke nail polish
Customisable colour
Want the perfect greige, the sunniest yellow or the most elegant off-white nail polish? If like us, you're particular about your lacquer shades and prefer to eschew nail art, finding the right hue for your digits and your skin tone can be a challenge. And good luck if your favourite, go-to nude or perfect scarlet gets discontinued by your nail polish brand of choice. A new pop-up, Lacquer Bar by Nail Deck, allows you to customise your colour — base it off anything from pair of shoes you own to a lustworthy shade you spotted on Rihanna — and take it home immediately. The three-month long pop-up bar is located in VivoCity within the premises of esBoudoir, a nail salon.
To create your customised nail polish, bring in samples or ideas of the colour you want, and watch your exact hue be hand mixed on the spot and packaged — the process takes just 10 minutes. The finishing touch? You can name your nail polish shade. Trump Orange or Nasty Woman anyone? Pick from a 5ml or 10ml bottle. If you're creating a failsafe shade you want to bring with your for regular manicures, we would strongly advise getting a bigger bottle. But if you switch nail polish faster than you swipe Tinder profiles, opt for smaller bottles in a greater variety of shades. No idea what colour will work for you? A one-on-one consultation with a colourist will help you along. Says Lacquer Bar, "After picking your shade, a spectrometer, a device that analyses colour, picks out the desired colour from the item or photo provided. An in-house algorithm converts the digital colour to a formula. From there, chemistry laboratory equipment will accurately blend the colours which will then be hand-poured into five or 10ml bottles."
The process doesn't end there. The Lacquer Bar will produce complimentary sample amounts first to try on under both white and warm lights so you get the exact colour you're after. Your bespoke polish will then be adjusted and will only be bottled when you are completely satisfied. esBoudoir founder Serene Teh says, "Having been in the nail business for 20 years, I have seen countless trends come and go but Lacquer Bar is a truly unique idea that I had never encountered. We are very happy to be part of something so innovative and exciting." Currently crème is the only finish available — with other finishes like shimmer and glitter are in the works. Can't make it down to get your polish mixed at the Lacquer Bar? Its parent company Nail Deck has a website and an app where you can digitally create your dream polish, order it and have it shipped worldwide. We think they make the best gifts for BFFs too.
