My city of Chicago, known as the City with Big Shoulders, is now on its knees. But it's not prostrate in some humble submission to God. No. Instead Chicago is weeping from the emotional exhaustion of having to bury too many youth who have been murdered.
Last year Chicago recorded 2,400 shootings and more than 505 murders, of which more than 108 were teenagers of color from seven violent communities. Already 2013, with less than two months into its birth, has seen 49 murders. Those of us on the ground seeking to bring change to this pandemic of violence know that if the Chicago cold winters are this violent, then the hot summers will not cool off. On top of the hard and constant news about those who are killing and being killed, Chicago Police stats show that only 34 percent of the murders get solved within one year. If the detectives have two years on a case, then the rate barely reaches 50 percent. The national average of murders solved is 64 percent. New York's rate is only 60 percent. In Chicago, though, one has a 50-50 chance of getting away with a murder.
We scream and cry over these senseless murders of our youth in mostly communities of poverty, yet our resources don't go to solving these crimes as quickly as they go to arresting drug dealers and users. Most Chicagoans would agree that we need more police who are able to solve these murders rather than focus on the petty arrests of the dope boys on the corners. Contributing to the failures of solving these murders is the mindset of "No Snitches" that stems from a lack of trust from the police and, consequently, hurts the victims of these crimes.
Our communities have lost their sense of urgency over this plague of violence that is smothering our land. There was a time when people were shocked if someone got shot. Now people just ask, "Did they die?" Desensitization of the violence has sadly become the norm. Parents won't let their kids attend afterschool programs, even in their own communities, unless they have a ride back home. When I sit with some of the different gang leaders I know, they tell me that the kids who are doing the shootings are getting younger and younger — and that they don't listen or care about what they are doing.
The power of change has to come from each local community's efforts to mobilize both on the ground and politically. Our Hip Hop Church, The House Covenant Church, and Lawndale Community Church are engaged in both of these, working on everyday issues and practical approaches to diminish the violence. Through our Lawndale Christian Legal Center, we are building relationships, one-on-one, with leaders in the community who have been — or are still a part of — the violence. We are working with other leaders around the city to receive 100,000 signatures on a petition asking our elected officials to pass commonsense gun laws that include getting assault weapons off the streets.
Guns are too easily come by in these communities. This gun pipeline enters the communities through people who buy weapons without any background checks and are then able to sell the guns to others as if they were selling a pair of shoes to a friend. One of the most notorious gun shops in Illinois is Chucks Gun Shop, just outside the city limits. They sell their guns to anyone. And half, if not more, of the guns used to kill young people in Chicago come from that shop! Many guns recovered from crimes in Chicago were originally bought at Chucks. Of the 1,375 guns related to crimes committed from 2008 to 2012, 268 of them were traced back to Chucks. That's one-in-five guns!
There are so many leaks in the bucket of justice that those who are seeking to seal those leaks either drown in the process or feel like no one cares. We must keep this issue of gun control on the front page of our papers. We must keep our congressperson's number on speed dial, pressuring them to step up or step off. We must rally our community to be the light where there is no light. We must do all this because it is a matter of life and death.
I was talking with one of our youth last week and asked what he thought about his future. He flat out said, "I don't have a future. I have today. Matter of fact, I really just have this moment." When I probed more, he told me he didn't believe he had a future because two of his uncles were murdered, his father was killed, and he went on to describe how another six or seven other significant men in his life were either murdered or are in prison. He finished by saying, "This is why I say that, Pastor Phil. Cause I don't see how I even count. Cause if I don't count, I don't matter. And if I don't matter, why trip on any kind of future, because the future hurts too much to think about it."
These are the kids I serve and love. I work to expose them to real hope and real lasting change they can believe in, so they can live to tell about it.

For the Second Year in a Row, Readers call the J2ME Wireless Toolkit Number One!
At the beginning of January, 2005, Developer.com started the next loop of its Product of the Year 2005 Contest. In this article, I'll briefly cover the contest's finalists and highlight their exciting features. The last year hasn't brought us great surprises, to tell you the truth. The Wireless Mobile Developers community seems to be keeping its preferences sternly enough. If you'll take a look at the finalists of Year 2004, you'll see that few products have just vanished for some reason, and some new ones have jumped in. Nevertheless, the core players are here. A more interesting fact is that some of the nominees are presented in several contest categories. This definitely ranks their quality and attractiveness for developers. But well, I should unveil who the finalists of the Wireless/Mobile Development Product of the Year 2005 Contest were:
- AppForge Crossfire 5.5
- IBM Cloudscape V10.0
- Sun Microsystems Inc J2ME Wireless Toolkit 2.2
- Microsoft MapPoint Location Server
- Nokia Series 40 Developer Platform 2.0
- Sybase PocketBuilder
In the next sections, I'll quickly describe each finalist and its possible pros and cons. We developers understand that there are no ideal products; each one has its own pluses and minuses. Our own applications are just perfect example of it. However, we make the decision of which product or tool to use in particular situation basing on thousands of factors. I hope that this article also can help you in this tender topic too.
AppForge Crossfire 5.5
In November, 2004, AppForge (www.appforge.com) released the next generation of its multi-platform development solution. Crossfire applications will run on a long list of the handheld, mobile, and wireless devices including Palm OS, Motorola A1000, Pocket PC 2000/2002, Windows Mobile 2003, Nokia Series 60, and Symbian UIQ.
Crossfire transparently intergates itself into various MS Visual Studio IDEs. Programmers may use VB 6.0, VB.NET, or C# to create applications for mobile devices running different platforms within their regular environment. Crossfire applications are created using specialized mobile controls, libraries, and modules that are available in the IDE. Crossfire is shipped with more than 30 standard controls, as well as modules and libraries for database synchronization, bar code scanning, communications, and telephony. Crossfire 5.5 has an ability to read Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags.
To run AppForge applications, you need to install The AppForge Crossfire Client (Booster) on the target mobile device. Booster allows Crossfire applications to take full advantage of all the specific hardware features on the mobile and wireless devices.
But, nothing is costless, unfortunately. Booster has a footprint from about 300 Kb up to 1 Mb, depending on device and OS. Well known also is that, when you're using any additional library or framework, the application size grows rapidly. All this is true for Crossfire, and can be an unacceptable overhead for systems with highly restricted resources.
IBM Cloudscape V10.0
IBM Cloudscape V10.0 is an embedded open-source Java database. It is platform independent and has a relatively small footprint. Obviously, Cloudscape runs on each standard JVM, so you'll be overjoyed as Java programmer developing your app once and then deploying it anywhere it can be run.
The term "embedded" needs to be explained here in a bit more detail. Its usual meaning is used for software that is prewired or burned onto hardware, such as cell phones, WinCE devices, and so forth. In a database engine's language, it nevertheless tells you something else: You can "embed" such an engine into your own programm. Mobile applications in many cases do not need most enterprise-level features, so the engine itself can reduce its footprint to the size acceptable for PDAs.
Cloudscape's small size does not say everything about its features. It is robust. Despite its small core size, it's quite spacious. The table size and number of rows are practically limited only by available storage. More than one thousand columns per table and 32 Kb indexes can satisfy anyone's paranoia.
Cloudscape is designed for zero-adminstration, so you need just to install it, load your data, and start working. I'd like to note here that Cloudscape's technology is an extension of IBM's larger data product strategy. You can see that Cloudscape was also nominated in the DBMS category this year. Together with Eclipse, it becomes an attractive development route for Java-based systems.
Microsoft MapPoint Location Server
With Microsoft's MapPoint Location Server, you can integrate location-based services into applications that target mobile devices, such as a Pocket PC or Smartphone. MapPoint is Microsoft's technology for mapping and location services platforms and applications. It connects wireless mobile devices, location service providers, and MapPoint Web Service to provide powerful location-based services to end users. Microsoft's MapPoint Location Server is an enterprise server product that works with desktop and mobile clients to help enterprise users with the location of their mates and collegues everywhere outside the office. It allows clients to conduct location searches and execute "Find Nearby" queries. Mobile users can use MapPoint Location Server to locate each other. Non-mobile users can use MapPoint Location Server to locate enterprise users who are on the road. Such exciting features highly increase the dynamics of company management.
MapPoint Location Server does not require GPS hardware. It locates a provisioned user's mobile device by communicating with a mobile operator. Typically, a user gets the requested services as a result of a mutli-stage interaction between the client agent at mobile device, mobile operator, and MapPoint Web Service. Such interaction is initialted by MapPoint Location Server. All communications details are hidden from end-users and developers. MapPoint Location Server serves as an smart aggregator for mobile operators by abstracting all irritating implementation details. Once the location is obtained, it can be used for any required task; for example, nearby categorical searches and so forth.
From the application developer side, we have the Microsoft MapPoint Location Server SDK. It contains two main parts:
- the MapPoint Location Server Web Service development
- the MapPoint Location Server API
Web Service-based stuff is on board when you need to develop a location-enabled application for mobile sales people, provide powerful dispatching capabilities, and so on.
When you are required to deliver an application that will be used for server management— for example,it will add new users to MapPoint Location Server—you turn to the MapPoint Location Server API. In any ,case you get rich class libraries that empower your application to the extreme.
Nokia Series 40 Developer Platform 2.0
Nokia's Series 40 Developer Platform 2.0 (www.forum.nokia.com) gives Java developers access to the high volume, fast-growing mobile markets. A huge number of cell phone units are sold per year, and success on this platform is crucial for the commercial success of any mobile application. Nokia has several platforms for different device lines, and Series 40 is at the high end.
Symbian now holds a large piece of mobile market. Many developers select this platform to provide efficient solutions in a wide range of business and game areas. Nokia Series 40 devices are probably the most popular mobile devices in the world. Microsoft is trying to penetrate this market's niche with the MS Smartphone platform. But, in the meantime, Symbian is definitely winning the game.
The Developer Platform 2.0 consists of J2ME with Connected Limited Device Configuration 1.1, Mobile Information Device Profile 1.1, and the Nokia UI API for backward compatibility. In addition, it also supports Java Bluetooth Specifications (JSR-82), Wireless Messaging Specifications (used for SMS and Call Broadcast Service), and the Mobile Media API to deal with native sound and video services. I won't write a lot on this topic. That's Java, it describes enough. The good news is that the device emulator comes with a great look and feel. It is highly spacious, and provides a developer with a real device sense.
Sybase PocketBuilder
Sybase PocketBuilder (www.sybase.com) is a highly productive 4GL RAD IDE for super-fast graphical development. It targets various Pocket PC devices. PocketBuilder greatly simplifies the development and deployment of enterprise-level applications. It uses DataWindow technology to provide virtually code-free development for data access and presentation, complex business logic processing, and so forth. PocketBuilder also supports iAnywhere's MobiLink technology, allowing data synchronization for mobile users. You can quickly and easily create applications by using wizard-driven development. Moreover, old PowerBuilder applications can now be converted to get new life.
Along with its amazing 'no coding' approach, Sybase PocketBuilder includes support for different handheld hardware periphery such as Phone and SmartPhone Support, digital cameras, scanners, GPS devices, and so forth. End users can make a voice or data call directly from the application, send SMS messages, and so forth. A nice, useful feature is printing support, an area really lacking in Windows CE-powered handhelds.
The downside of Sybase PocketBuilder is that it does restict a developer to a predefined set of capabilities. Performance issues are also a pain...
Sun Microsystems Inc J2ME. Wireless Toolkit 2.2
And finally—the Winner! As it happened a year ago, the J2ME Wireless Toolkit 2.2 from Sun (www.sun.com) has conquered the first prize again. Taking into account Java's dominating position over the mobile and wireless market, one might presuppose such a result. You can easily see that a Java-based product is presented in each contest category.
Java technology has a huge install base. It is deployed in more than 350 million Java technology-enabled mobile devices from numerous manufacturers and mobile operators worldwide. Approximately 1.5 billion consumers are expected to be using mobile technologies by 2007. So, applause goes to the Winner!
But, J2ME Wireless Toolkit 2.2 is really cool. It is much more than just the next release of a powerful tool. It implements more than a dozen new, impressive features:
- Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) 1.1 (JSR 139)
- Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) 2.0 (JSR 118)
- Java Technology for the Wireless Industry (JTWI) 1.0 (JSR 185)
- Wireless Messaging API (WMA) 2.0 (JSR 205)
- Mobile Media API (MMAPI) 1.1 (JSR 135)
- PDA Optional Packages for the J2ME Platform (JSR 75)
- Java APIs for Bluetooth (JSR 82)
- J2ME Web Services Specification (JSR 172)
- Mobile 3D Graphics API for J2ME (JSR 184)
- Support for Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) in the WMA console
- Simulated Bluetooth environment for JSR 82 support
- New large-screen (QVGA) DefaultColorPhone emulator skin
- Network monitor support for MMS and Bluetooth
In addition, existing tools have been improved and enhanced to better suit developers' dreams. As the world of wireless Java technology grows rapidly, the J2ME Wireless Toolkit keeps pace and contains all the tools you need. You can download the toolkit from the Sun site so that you can get excited by its capabilities.
In Conclusion
In terms of applications and applets running on mobile devices, Java's J2ME became a preferred platform for development, over and above a number of other development platforms, including Microsoft's Windows CE Compact Framework. It has gathered strong developer support and is intrinsically a better choice for highly diverse hardware and software environments that currently exist in the mobile and wireless market. This trend has proved itself during the last few years. I believe that such a drift will continue while Microsoft's CE.NET initiative will gradually get stronger. As you can see, there were no pure Microsoft's products among the nominees in the mobile/wireless category this year. It may be a result of a delay with the Visual Studio 2005 release. It has been announced to be delivered at the end of 2004, but... Let's hope that Microsoft has meant its fiscal year. Nevertheless, we've whitnessed a significant improvement in PDAs' hardware capabilities. Devices have gotten more powerful, utilized much more memory on board, screen quality has reached VGA resolution, and so forth. All these factors can give a new leap to each big player on the mobile market.

Tech Update
Hydraulic-Press Automation is the Future at this Danish Deep Drawer
Increasingly stiffer competition, not the least of which comes from low-cost countries, is accelerating the pace of automation use by stampers within the European metalforming industry. Case in point: Danish firm C&K Johansen, a specialist in deep drawing that produces a large variety of different parts in small and medium sizes for numerous customers, often on short notice. This requires flexibility—noted by company executives as a crucially decisive factor of success. The firm processes mild and stainless steel sheet from 0.4 to 20 mm thick.
"The faster we can reset presses one product to another, the less the size of the batch matters," says C&K Johansen's director Peter Moller. In 2008, right in the middle of the recession, C&K Johansen decided to develop a solution (with hydraulic press and automation supplier AP&T) that would significantly improve the flexibility and efficiency of one of its production lines. The new equipment was in place and work was completed in January 2011.
Two existing hydraulic presses, which had up to that point been run manually, formed the point of departure—one a 562 U.S. ton press, the other a 1125-ton model. Both presses are now fully automated and can be used separately or together. Each press can perform one or more operations depending on the type of part to be produced, and they have been modified for quick tool changes. The blank feeder used for the presses can cope with sheetmetal as large as 59 by 59 in., to –0.39 in. thick, a feature that C&K Johansen says is unique to the Danish market.
What has really kicked flexibility up a notch, however, are the four-axis AP&T SpeedFeeder press robots used to move blanks and parts to and from the presses.
"Using SpeedFeeders with four axes results in virtually unlimited flexibility," says Moller. "Not only can they move forward, backward, downward and to the side, they also can spin around." Each SpeedFeeder has lifting capacity to 220 lb., and all of the operations in the production process, from blank feeding and lubrication to finished pressed product, are quick and efficient, an important prerequisite for a high level of productivity.
"This solution provides a production speed three to five times faster than in the past," notes Moller. "It also requires fewer workers since both of the presses can now be run by one operator."AP&T North America, Inc: 704/292-2900; www.aptgroup.com

Virtually all drivers over 65 rate themselves as average, good or excellent behind the wheel, despite seven per cent being unsure if they could read a number plate 20m away and 10 per cent having had an accident in the past five years.
New research from Direct Line Car Insurance reveals that more than a quarter (28 per cent) of drivers over the age of 65, equal to around 2.1 million motorists, are in the dark when it comes to the validity of their licence – unaware it needs renewed every three years from the age of 70.
Other findings were: 52 per cent of older drivers agreed that 70 was the right age for a standard license to expire; a fifth felt it should be determined on a case by case basis, and 17 per cent felt 70 was too early.
Gus Park, director of motor at Direct Line, commented: "It's crucial that older motorists are aware of their obligations to renew their licence as they risk driving illegally if it expires.
"We want to remind older drivers that their licence will automatically expire at the age of 70 – regardless of their health or ability to drive.
"If an older motorist wants to continue to drive they must make a renewal application in advance, and continue to do so every three years from the age of 70 to ensure their insurance remains valid.
"Even those who by accident don't do this can face a very hefty fine, which is a high price to pay when the renewal process for over 70s is free."
There are currently four million drivers with a full licence aged 70 or over and 230 drivers aged 100 or above.

Maybe it's me. Maybe it's the model's gleeful pose. Or maybe it's the waggling tail. Whatever the case, this hoodie from 80s tees, is kind of weirdly off-putting.
The "racanooki" top is inspired by the classic raccoon-styled Tanooki Suit that Mario can fly around with in Super Mario Bros 3. Wearers can indeed flap their tails, through the attached drawstrings, but sadly, the garment does not bequeath the power of flight. Nor can wearers turn themselves into temporarily invulnerable statues while wearing it. So please: don't step in front of any cars just because you've got your raccoon-eared groove on.

text: Howdy folks! Been a while since I've done a ride report so I figured it's about time. A couple of firsts on this ride - I've not been to Mexico on the GS, and this will be my first non-solo trip. Hank, of "my 1995 GS has right at 475,000 miles on the clock" fame, runs his shop "MotoHank" in Dilley, Texas and had invited me to head south with him several times, but I was never able to coordinate. So when he invited me to go with him to the national BMW Rally in Uruapan, Mexico, I jumped at the chance. Hank has spent many years traveling in Mexico and Central America and I did what had to be done to make it happen. Shortly before leaving, my GS began having intermittent issues of stumbling, and I spent my prep days chasing parts and ghosts. The mileage had dropped significantly to the 33 mpg range, and after new filters, pressure testing yada yada the consensus was to dope the fuel with as much injector cleaner as it could handle and hope for the best. SUNDAY I packed the bike, filled the tank with gas and Gumout and headed south for Laredo. I stopped in briefly at MotoHank and dropped off a GoPro housing, where a disassembled KTM 950 "GO!" was being reassembled by its owner, Cullen. He'd ridden in from Nevada for the trip, was doing some last minute prep to his bike. I stood around and pointed at things while he worked and Hank supervised. From there I headed south to Laredo in a fierce headwind, serious heat and setting sun to swap cash for pesos and get some rest for our early morning rendezvous. MPG to Laredo was an unbelievable 29… not looking good. I didn't sleep well. Exciting pics from the Motel 6: Stuttering Stuttgart Sow… but I still love ya babe Note the copious amounts of Pepto. There's a lot more stashed all over the bike. Would you believe me if I told you those shorts were originally white? High tech, eco friendly, usage of air - note that the position of insoles not only dries them, but deflects a tornadic air current into the sweaty boots. Pure genius in action. Ok, I admit they're boring, but what else do you do in a Motel 6 besides count all the other creepy people? MONDAY 8 A. M. Plan was to meet in the parking lot next to the motel at 8 am and head for the border to beat the crowds, but Hank called and had had a fuel pump failure a couple blocks from his shop and was running late, so we had breakfast and met at 9:30. Riders were Hank and his girlfriend Sherry, Cullen from Nevada on his KTM 950, Jimmy from Texarkana on a 1200GS and Rob from Michigan on his 650 GS twin. In addition we had two other riders, Jim from Michigan and his son Matthew from Arizona, who were going to cross with us and then part ways in Monterrey. Cullen Crossing the bridge, we had three pulled aside for inspections, and upon reaching the Aduana and Migracion offices we found few people in line. Benefits of a Monday morning. The process took a couple of hours and we were on our way into Nuevo Laredo, dodging and bobbing in traffic, seeing lots of armed polizia and federales, passing a large machine gun nest in front of the Holiday Inn Express. We took off for Monterrey at high speed, about 140 miles away, and into a strong headwind. I watched as my fuel gauge went slowly down, my stomach sinking at the same rate. I didnt think I would make it, and looking at the bleak landscape all the way, I was already trying to figure out how long it would take on the side of the tollway before the gang would be able to come back and siphon gas for me. The air was so hazy - whether smog or natural - that I was barely able to make out the shapes of mountains as we entered the region. Just as my tank light came on at 115 miles, I began seeing signs of the city and we finally rolled in to a Pemex and filled up and ate a quick lunch. I was wrestling with continuing since the bike was getting such poor mileage, but after filling with Pemex Premium and heading for Saltillo the gas gauge slowed its descent, and by the time we turned south towards Real De Catorce, the bike was beginning to feel like its old self. Filled up in Linares and afterwards I could tell the bike was getting straight again. I was finally able to relax a bit and check the scenery. We raced south, passing innumerable "Vulca" or tire changing sheds and shacks, stacks of bagged onions or lemons on the inside lane, horses and sheep grazing the medians along the highway. At the speeds we were traveling 80-90, you need to be alert at all times. We raced past a freshly rolled vehicle in the center median, the bodies having been drug out and surrounded by a crowd of locals, feeling that terrible sense of guilt in knowing there's nothing you can do. It seemed we stopped for 25 toll stations, and I was frankly beginning to wonder if I'd changed enough cash into pesos at the rate I was handing it out. The beautiful desert mountains rolled past as we flew along, with no time for photos in the race against a setting sun. We finally reached the cut off for Cerda north of Matehuala, where we topped off on gas before turning onto the 12 mile cobblestone road up into the mountains. The road was an amazing site to see, and the vistas into the setting sun were beautiful. I snapped a quick pic while riding but the cobbles made it a challenge. We did switchbacks up into the mountains until reaching the tunnel which leads into the old town of Real De Catorce. We waited for a truck to come through before paying a 20 peso toll and driving through. I can't remember the length, but the old tunnel was several kilometers long, dark and musty. It was a great ride. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cLEq0xFRD-0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Bursting out into the light and into the old town was like stepping back in time. Steep cobblestone streets and stone buildings, street vendors and crisp mountain air. The tiny streets are steep and rough, but it's a beautiful place. We found the hotel just about dusk, showered and went out for a meal in the darkness. It was dark but here are a few shots Real De Catorce is a spectacular place and anxious for daylight to explore!

This is the first in a coming series of interviews with web developers. We're excited to start with Lea Verou, a front-end web developer from Greece who has not only made lots of cool stuff we've linked to, but also recently joined the W3C to help work on web standards.
Webmonkey: You joined the W3C Developer Relations last year, which is a relatively new thing at the W3C, actively reaching out to web designers and developers. What does the day to day work of a W3C Developer Relations person look like?
Lea Verou: You're absolutely right Scott, it's a new initiative that Doug Schepers started last year. W3C was interested in outreach for years, but there was no official Developer Relations activity before.
My role is pretty mixed. I help organize W3Conf, our conference for web designers and developers, I help develop and promote WebPlatform.org, presenting at conferences around the world, I write articles about web standards in industry media and many other things.
WM: You were interested in web standards very early on, what was it that made standards important to you?
Verou: When I started developing for the web, IE6 was the most widely used browser. As you probably remember, making websites that work cross-browser was way harder back then than it is today. We had to rely on browser detection, ugly hacks and whatnot. I wished browsers could just agree on some common ground and implement that. A couple years later, I discovered that this is actually a thing and it's called web standards. Since then, I made it one of my personal goals to raise awareness in fellow web developers, get browsers to implement them and advance the standards themselves for the common good.
WM: Of course many of those ugly hacks remain, especially for developers still wrestling with IE7 (IE6 seems to have been put to rest for the most part). What's your take on supporting older browsers? Is that an important thing to do or is it time we leave them behind because they're holding back the web?
Verou: I'm a big supporter of progressive enhancement and graceful degradation. Websites should be usable, if possible, in older browsers, but they don't need to have all the bling. However, graceful degradation is not black & white. Everyone seems to have a different definition of what is "graceful" and what is "enhancement".
Is a solid color an acceptable fallback for a pattern? What if your lightbox has no overlay? What if your stripes become a solid color? What if your transitions are not there? What if your code has no syntax highlighting? I tend to lean towards being more permissive instead of looking for perfection in older browsers, especially on websites targeted to a more technical audience. I will provide fall-backs, but I will not go out of my way and use proprietary IE7-specific stuff to make something look good there. With a < 0.5% global market share, it's just not worth it.
WM: A lot of the developers I know have a kind of love-hate relationship with the W3C. But you wrote on your site that working for the W3C was "a dream of mine ever since I learned what a web standard is." Can you talk a little bit about what makes the W3C great and why you wanted to work there?
Verou: Like I said before, promoting web standards was something I was already doing for years anyway. I felt that working for W3C itself would enable me to do it more systematically and have a bigger impact. For instance, one of my main tasks has been helping organize W3Conf – happening this February in San Francisco – which is aimed at showing web professionals that web standards are not some utopian ideal but practical to adhere to in everyday work, as well as educate them about recent developments that they can use today. Connecting those two worlds is a fun challenge!
WM: Standards do at times feel less than practical, especially because they've been changing a lot lately – e.g. WebSockets got a rewrite after it had already shipped in multiple browsers, ditto CSS Flexbox. So there's these seemingly rapid changes, and then on the other hand it seems like we've been waiting for other things forever. I know the W3C recently launched, WebPlatform.org for developers, but what other resources would you suggest for web professionals who'd like to educate themselves about web standards, and more importantly stay up-to-date?
Verou: W3C is well aware of the fact that sometimes we can be slow and we are trying to speed things up to meet developer needs. This is why we are encouraging implementors (like browser vendors) to implement earlier on in the process so we can get feedback by developers and we're putting more emphasis on testing, which is going to improve interoperability.
All this means that experimental features will ship which still need work. Having shipped in browsers is not an indication of stability. Browsers often ship experimental features so that developers can play with them and give feedback. This doesn't mean the feature is frozen — quite the opposite, it means we need feedback to make it better.
Regarding resources, I know I'm weird, but I often read about new features in specs. I search for a feature, come across the spec, take a look on what else is there and then see if it's implemented anywhere. I also often find good information on Twitter and looking at others' code. There are also some websites with good information like:
and many others.
WM: Now that you're actually working for the W3C has your perspective on standards changed? Is there anything that looks different from the other side of the fence?
Verou: I was involved in standards before I joined W3C, so many things already looked different. For instance, many developers tend to blame W3C for being slow with standardization, whereas the reality is that often implementors are just busy with other things (we need multiple implementations for a spec to exit CR level) or spec editors are focusing their attention elsewhere.
Another common misconception is that spec editors and Working Group members are exclusively or mostly W3C staff. Whereas many W3C Team members do edit specs and participate in WGs, the majority of spec editors are employees of member companies, as evident in most specifications (you can see a list of the editors in the header). W3C is not some authority that dictates standards from up high, but merely a forum for interested parties to get together and collaborate on advancing the web.
WM: How can developers who aren't (yet) well-known contribute to the process or give feedback about what works and what doesn't?
Verou: Participating in web standards is a matter of joining the conversation. W3C is very open. Technical discussion happens in the public mailing lists and IRC, which you can join. Pragmatic feedback from anybody is welcome, especially from people who have tried using the feature in question. Experiment, try to make it work for you and share experiences – good or bad – about it. It might seem at first that you're just one voice among many, but if your feedback is good, your voice is going to be heard. Technical arguments are judged on their merit and not their origin.
WM: I get tired just looking at your GitHub page – Pattern Gallery, -prefix-free, Dabblet, Prism and a bunch of other useful tools – where do you find the time to build all this cool stuff? And are you going to be able to keep doing it now that you're at the W3C?
Verou: I actually released another tool after I joined W3C: Contrast Ratio. W3C supports me in making tools to help developers use open web technologies more effectively. In fact, improving Prism and Dabblet is one of my tasks at W3C since we are going to be using them in WebPlatform.org, our vendor-neutral documentation effort, where all the big players of the Web are working in harmony to create a valuable resource. However, I plan to slow down on releasing new things, so I can maintain the existing ones. Nobody likes to use abandoned scripts and tools, right? :)
WM: The first time I recall landing on your blog was for a post about CSS abuses, like making the Mona Lisa in pure CSS. Which is of course silly, but what caught my eye was that you wrote about how people should be using SVG, which is an awesome tool that almost no one seems to use (despite the fact that it often has better browser support than most CSS 3 features and works great on every screen resolution). Why is SVG still the neglected stepchild of the web stack and do you think that's ever going to change?
Verou: SVG was significantly held back by a number of different factors. One was the lack of proper support in browsers for many years. Internet Explorer was promoting VML (a proprietary technology that influenced SVG) until IE8 and only implemented SVG in IE9, which is not that long ago. In addition, there are far more browser bugs in SVG implementations across browsers, since fewer people use it, so fewer of them get reported and fixed.
Last but not least, there just aren't many extensive resources for SVG documentation, a gap that WebPlatform.org is trying to cover (and since it's a wiki, you can help too!).
However, SVG is certainly picking up in the last few years, either directly by people using the format, or indirectly, through many of its features getting added in CSS. For example, CSS Transforms, CSS Filter Effects, Blending and Compositing, as well as CSS Masking, are all basically SVG applied to HTML with a simpler syntax.
WM: Everyone has their pet standard, personally I'd like to see CSS Flexbox get better browser support and end the float insanity – what's at the top of your web standards wish list?
Verou: As an editor of CSS Backgrounds & Borders Level 4 I can't wait for it to get more attention. Regarding other specs however, I'm very interested in the new SVG-inspired specs like Filter Effects, Compositing and Masking. They allow us to do things we badly needed for years and for the most part, they degrade pretty gracefully, unlike the new Layout modules or the syntax improvements.
To keep up with Verou's latest projects and musings on web standards, check out her blog and follow her on Twitter and GitHub.

Unintended Consequences
One of the great things of being in a group practice is meeting and taking care of patients who may not necessarily be on your own personal patient panel. Walking into the room, I hear the patient say, "Doc, you gotta help me." I see a red right forearm and on the "complaint" section, the nurse wrote "burn."
So, I ask, "Well how did you burn your arm?" "Well, doc, I got cancer." Hmm, that's interesting. I didn't make the connection until the next sentence. "It was my last treatment with chemotherapy about 2 weeks ago and for some reason, the needle slipped and the stuff went all over my arm. The cancer doc prescribed these pills, but they don't seem to be helping. I asked the pharmacist about some salves and this is what they said." He showed me a handful of creams and ointments purchased at the pharmacy.
Since I didn't know this patient at all, I was leafing through a very thick paper chart to try to catch up. "Yeah, I've been coming to see Doc [name] for a long time now. I'm glad you were able to see me today since his schedule was full." This very pleasant patient then told me about how they diagnosed his cancer - a tear came to his eye - it's like he was re-living that moment again.
I shifted the topic to his treatment, and he told me all about the cancer center he's been at and about his cancer doctor. "They told me all I needed was one more treatment, and this happens to my arm." "Well," I said, "unfortunately, this is something that sometimes happens during any kind of cancer treatment."
Together we came up with a treatment plan and I asked him to keep his appointment with his regular doctor for next week. "Thanks Doc," he said as I saw him walk carefully out to the front desk with his cane. Cancer therapy, whether it be chemotherapy, radiation, and/or surgery, can be tricky stuff sometimes. The goal is clear - elimination of the cancer. However, in trying to reach the goal, sometimes things get sidetracked....

|An alder root nodule.
|Scientific classification
| Frankia
Brunchorst, 1886
F. alni (Woronin 1866) Von Tubeuf 1895
Frankia is a genus of nitrogen fixing, filamentous bacteria that live in symbiosis with actinorhizal plants, similar to the Rhizobia bacteria that are found in the root nodules of legumes in the Fabaceae family. Bacteria of this genus also form root nodules.
The genus Frankia was originally named by Jørgen Brunchorst in 1886 to honor the German biologist, A. B. Frank.[1] Brunchorst considered the organism that he had identified to be a filamentous fungus. Becking redefined the genus in 1970 as containing prokaryotic actinomycetes and created the family Frankiaceae within the Actinomycetales. He retained the original name of Frankia for the genus.[2]
Frankia alni is the only named species in this genus but there are a great many strains specific to different plant species. The bacteria are filamentous and convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia via the enzyme nitrogenase, a process known as nitrogen fixation. They do this while living in root nodules on actinorhizal plants. The bacteria can supply most or all of the nitrogen requirements of the host plant. As a result, actinorhizal plants colonise and often thrive in soils that are low in plant nutrients.[3]
Several Frankia genomes are now available which may help clarify how the symbiosis between prokaryote and plant evolved, how the environmental and geographical adaptations occurred, the metabolic diversity and the horizontal gene flow among the symbiotic prokaryotes.[3]
Symbiont plants
- All species in the genus Alnus in the Betulaceae family.
- Some species in all four genera in the Casuarinaceae family.
- Certain species in the genus Coriaria in the Coriariaceae family.
- Datisca cannabina and Datisca glomerata in the Datiscaceae family.
- All species in the three genera in the Elaeagnaceae family. These are Elaeagnus, Shepherdia and Hippophae.
- All species in the genera Myrica, Morella and Comptonia in the family Myricaceae.
- All species in six genera in the Rhamnaceae family. These are Ceanothus, Colletia, Discaria, Kentrothamnus, Retanilla and Trevoa, and possibly Adolphia.
- Some species in the Rosaceae family including all the species in the genera Cercocarpus, Cowania and Purshia and some species of Dryas.[4]

"Announcement: I'm Going To Give You My Entire APPPortunity Coaching Program For Almost FREE!"
Make no mistake - this is the same coaching program that my previous students paid $494 to access the training. Some even paid $994 when it was first launched. This is NOT a free course, I'm literally throwing away $100,000 by giving it for free. It was launched at the end of 2014 and you see the sales notifications coming in when it was announced...
I have customers from ALL AROUND THE WORLD buying the course...
"Why Am I Doing This... Did I Just Lost My Mind To Offer It For Less Than $10?"
Here's why...
I hate seeing my HARD WORK being wasted. You see, I've spent more than 6 months to learn about the app business and thousands of dollars invested. On top of that, so much work have been poured into recording the video training for the 6-Week APPportunity Coaching Program 2.0.
Because of being involved with too many projects, I don't have time to promote it in 2015. So instead of me keeping it, I would prefer to give away my knowledge for free so that I can contribute to others immensely.
But because I did not update the modules, please note on the following:
- I do not provide any coaching. I'm giving you all of my training as a course for free. If you want my time, I'm afraid I'll need to charge you for that.
- The strategies, ideas and methods taught are awesome and definitely can help you. But some of the tutorials may not reflect the latest websites because as mentioned, I did not update the training. For instance, Apple changed their Developer Member Area, so you may not see the same interface. However, the key concepts and steps are still the same.
With that said, this is the same webpage that my students paid $494 to acquire the entire system when you're getting it for free today...
The Truth About Making Money From Mobile Apps On Auto-Pilot…
"How To Start An App Business With No Programming Knowledge Or Whatsoever – Earn Daily Income From Millions Of App Users Worldwide."
Dear Friend,
Your timing is excellent.
Firstly, it's the best time to start your app business because while others are still focused on internet marketing, you're one step ahead of the game. And weirdly enough, it's much easier to make money with apps than internet marketing, especially for newbies.
Secondly, the premier APPportunity Coaching Program is now open for limited sign ups today. Take the next 10 minutes to read this letter so that you can be part of this "recent" opportunity – there is so much money to be made with apps.
The fact is, app opportunity is now here, and it's not stopping.
Mobile app is not just the FUTURE, it's the PRESENT.
According to Cisco...
"Model #1 - Micro-Transactions Business"
You need to learn this "secret" in today's new commerce economy – micro-transactions.
It simply means this, people are happily spending the $0.99's and $1.99's all day long, regardless of whether there's a recession or not.
Obviously, those who can "predict" the future are going to make fortunes for themselves. I mean, you've heard stories of marketers who make $100,000 from this opportunity alone.
The proof is already in our faces. And the truth is, it's happening so fast.
But the good news is it's not too late for you to be a part of this "Internet reborn".
It's like getting to start all over again at the ground floor opportunity – having the "second chance" to make it big. This time, it's yours to take.
"Model #2 – Free App Business"
Sometimes you wonder – how do these apps and games make so much money when they're 100% free?
Money from advertisers.
I couldn't think of a better business model where EVERYONE is happy – the user gets to use the useful apps or play the fun game for free, the developer makes money from the advertisers and the advertisers get to promote their offers and products.
Actually, my game app adopts the same strategy to make money.
And I just LOVE it. I can literally make money while giving away apps for free.
Do you know that you can be making as much as $1.50 when someone download the advertiser's app for free? I don't even need to sell my own app.
Imagine if you just have 10,000 app downloads and within your app, you're "sharing" the advertiser's app. That's the EASIEST way to making thousands every month. My students get hundreds of thousands of app downloads – imagine how much money you could be making by "giving away" apps for free.
How about $200 - $400 per day? Here's one of our students who's making that…
"Model #3 – Database Business"
The currency for mobile business is the "app downloads". And interestingly, it's amazingly easy to get users to download your apps for free.
The big money is in the app downloads. Just think - Facebook and Google bought Instagram and Waze for a billion dollar each, when both of these apps aren't making millions of dollars. It's the database.
Just imagine if your app was lucky to catch on the trend and somehow exploded overnight. It's time to cash out. There's where you'll be making MILLIONS without trying so hard to monetize it.
Maybe you don't make a billion. Or multi-millions.
But dude, I'm fine if I can make a million or even "as little" as $200,000. I mean, wouldn't that be good enough for starting an app business part-time, which grow on its own without hard work?
A friend of mine does brokering for app business. I took this listing from him, of apps sold…
"An Open Letter For Those Who Are Seeking To Build A Real Internet Business…"
You see, I've decided not to miss this boat because I know this is the "boat" that will ensure my long-term financial freedom.
It all started when I was on a holiday 2 years ago, it was in Korea then.
During my break, I've taken that time to reflect back on the purpose of why all of us have started or wanted to explore internet marketing, or starting an internet business. In essence, it's NOT all about making money — it's about being able to work less and have more time to do the things we really want, meanwhile reducing the stress we're facing with conventional businesses (or jobs).
Thus, this is why it's important that we MUST be able to make money easily and the income must be predictable and stable.
If you ever wanted to make easy, predictable and stable income for yourself, these are the 5 criteria you should have…
1. Mainstream product.
If you ask your neighbour whether they've read (fill in the blank with your favourite internet marketing guru's name's) latest blog post, they'll look at you strangely. A mainstream product is a product that everyone knows, or if they don't, it'll just take you a minute to explain and they will GET IT. Do you have a mainstream product?
2. It can be scaled.
Assuming we get to ignore product life cycle and external influences like competitors, change of trends, etc, your product should be able to grow by simply doing more of whatever that is already working. For instance, many app companies can easily scale its business to the next level by releasing new games on the same platform easily.
3. Natural growth.
Internet marketing is definitely a very lucrative niche and it certainly gets my recommendation. However, 9 out of 10 of the products in the market do not have natural growth — they're promoted through an orchestrated launch (which is unlikely to be pulled by a newbie or marketer with minimal funds). After the launch, when everything settles down, the product will eventually "die" on its own. Again, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it but it's surely not the long-term model that you and I are seeking to achieve for our financial freedom.
4. Repetitive usage.
Preferably, your product should be a kind of product that gets the user to come back again to "consume" it again. Twitter and Facebook are two very accurate examples. Or a game where the player comes back to play it again and again.
5. You should not be in the picture.
When the product is up and running, doing what it's supposed to do, you're not supposed to be the reason why the user continues to use your product. If this happens, it's going to be very difficult for you to ever achieve the freedom you want. Just look at today's internet marketers — they are facing this problem. If you don't believe me, just ask around.
The solution?
An app business. It fits into the 5 criteria perfectly.
But what excites me the most is…
"Profit Windfall. The Big Payday Where You Can Retire If You Want!"
Although I've seen a few internet marketers who have successfully reached this stage, the truth is, almost none of them will ever reach it here.
Instagram was sold for A BILLION. Draw Something app and the subsequent company were sold for a whopping $180 million dollars.
That's what I call, massive profit windfalls. Now, I'm not trying to BS you that you're going to make $100 million or become an app millionaire tomorrow. But the fact is, this exit strategy option is available today simply because companies are buying app businesses like buying hot cakes.
Even if you're just selling it off for a million or several hundreds of thousands, that's not too shabby.
But for the conventional internet marketing, I doubt there is any exit strategy for it. App business is different; it's a MAINSTREAM business.
If you haven't realized by now that iPhones are *everywhere*. The market is extremely big.
And you know what – I haven't even touched on Google Android yet. This opens up the floodgate to an insane number of users. Android captures more than 70% of today's mobile market share, whereas Apple is at about 15%. The rest are using other platforms.
"The Great Lie Of Becoming An App Entrepreneur"
I'm mad with the lies you've been fed with.
You've probably seen some low price courses or e-books on the internet with a super-hyped up sales letter which promise you can make money with apps, right?
Frankly, it may sound bias for me to tell you but 99% of them are nothing but just "tutorials". As your friend, I would at least suggest you have some due-diligence as to the accuracy of their claims. The truth is, nearly all of them are BS nonsense. Sorry.
How about the "big boys" who have success with their apps and are now teaching it?
They're great but truthfully, you're not getting the full scoop story bucko. Yes, they'll tell you how to do it, but they don't really tell you how they did it, do they?
Meaning, they're not telling you exactly what they did to get over a million download and so on. The X factor (missing gap, whatever) is never shared.
Some of these gurus even claimed that their apps have been sold for millions but the funniest part is, they never tell you which are the apps sold and which company bought it, don't they? It make you wonder the validity to these claims.
Many secrets are locked in the vault – forever. Probably just shared among their buddies where you're not part of their "inner circle".
The worst of it all is how some unethical marketers mislead us to believe their scams. For instance, they say that they'll be teaching us about creating apps, but the truth is it's just using some platform to create content apps (some call these apps niche apps). I want you to have a unique app. Just another low quality app.
Just so you know, it's POINTLESS to create low quality apps. They usually don't get approved in the Appstore. And even if they do, they're not going to be liked by the users and you could even piss them off.
But the good news is, if you do it right and you have the right system, you can be an app entrepreneur and making money from apps EVERY DAY.
We've start making money from apps since 2013. Here is some proof from our students…
Some students are achieving $300 - $500 PER DAY...
And as high as $700 PER DAY!

The 6-Week APPportunity Coaching Program 2.0 Overview
Today, I'll be accepting 30 new coaching students to teach them on how to make money from apps and how to build a long-term app business. How to create the golden goose like what many of our students are having. Making money like clockwork.
How The Coaching Program Works:
You'll first start by generating additional "part-time" income with simpler apps and eventually move on to phase two, where your aim is to quit your job (or be able to let go of your existing business that is stressing you out). And finally, to build an app business that can allow you to retire, should you want to.
Previously, I've released APPportunity Coaching Program version 1.0.
What you're getting is Version 2.0, which is even more comprehensive with NEW DISCOVERIES that I've found. I'll teach you how to create content apps, utility apps, game apps and how to make serious money with ALL OF THEM.
In this new version, I'll also be focusing on Android Apps.
There are 3 types of apps I'll be teaching:
Content Apps: These are apps that provide necessary content. Just think of a website that has been turned into an app. Or think of Newsstand (for Apple devices). They are easy to create. The way to make money with these apps is to pick a niche market and create content solely for this niche market. Just like how you do with internet marketing. For instance, you can create an app about cooking that includes recipes, cooking videos, cooking material reviews, etc. in it – content.
Utility Apps: These are function apps that help the user to "do something". Calculate something. Remind them of something. They can be alerts, simulations, recordings, photo frames, etc. For example Ifart — an app that makes funny fart sounds. It made over $700,000 revenue from a $0.99 app.
Game Apps: Exactly how it sounds, game apps are games. Angry Birds, Draw Something, Doodle Jump, Temple Run, Restaurant Story, Candy Crush, Subway Surfers, etc. Game apps are probably the most complex app to be developed because of the designs, animations and the interactions involved. However, if it provides good game play, it'll probably yield the most repetitive usage. Similarly, the more times your app is opened, generally, the more money you'll be able to make.
Anyway, you don't need to understand any of these right now because I'll be going in-depth with each of them later on.
Please keep in mind that it's not a course for you to watch or read, it's a 6 weeks coaching program. This way, I'll have time to impart not just my knowledge, but a lot of my real life experiences with the app business. The stuff I'm CURRENTLY doing.
Each week, you'll get my exclusive training for the next 6 weeks — they're usually in videos. Sometimes, they're in different formats, as long as they're effective in teaching you.
Then there will be a client's-only coaching area where you'll be able to ask any questions so that I can continue to coach you to success. The coolest part is, it's not just two ways — you'll get to learn from the other students as well. We'll create a "group" for you.
I would also want you to know that this is a STEP-BY-STEP coaching program, suitable for you regardless of whether you're a newbie or indeed an experienced internet marketer.
And it's designed for NON-programmers. No programming knowledge is required at all. Zero is fine. Totally cool.
Like me for an example, I don't know squat about coding. And actually, as ignorant as it may sound, I don't care. You see, I don't want to be a programmer — I want to be a marketer and entrepreneur… and I want to show you how to achieve that level too. Needless to say, that's where the money is.
We'll start the coaching with the content app because it's the simplest way for you to get started. To get your feet wet. To understand the game of this business and what it entails.
Finally, you'll be taking action and watch your app being created - and it will be happening as quickly as in Week #2.
After that, I'll teach you the utility and game apps.
Again, no programming skill is required whatsoever. I'll teach you how to hire programmers to make the money for you.
Now you'll know why it's 6 weeks of training and coaching. I have so much to teach and share with you. I'm very passionate about this.
The good news is, you'll be doing while learning, therefore, expect to start making some WHILE you're still going through the coaching program!
Again, I need to emphasize this strongly — I'm NOT teaching you how to program apps.
Like I said earlier, I don't even know how to do that. But what I'm teaching you is how to become an app entrepreneur and marketer, perhaps even becoming an app millionaire someday. I'll be teaching you the secrets and strategies of making money with apps and turning them into real businesses. It's about creating an easy, predictable and stable income for your life.
"The difference of the APPportunity Coaching Program 2.0 than others?"
Firstly, this is a coaching program where I'll be around to help you during these 6 solid weeks.
The APPportunity Coaching Program 2.0 doesn't just guide you with the steps and strategies, but I'll bring you "behind the scenes" of what's really happening.
And I can do this because some of our apps are in the middle of their development, where you'll now get to look behind my shoulder and "clone" my app business models.
It can't get any better than this — you'll be "walking" through the development process. It's like having X-ray vision into my app business.
In the coaching program, I'll share with you my current apps too and I'll tell you how they're being developed. I'll even share with you EXACTLY how they're being promoted to get thousands of downloads!
Lastly, as egoistic as it sounds, it's me who's creating the program. Humbly, I don't think my name is unknown at the top of the food chain with other internet marketing gurus. I've been around for more than 10 years now.
My credibility includes being the co-author of Clicking Cash with Robert G. Allen, the best-selling author of One Minute Millionaire and Multiple Streams of Income (millions of copies sold). I'm also the best-selling author of WakeUp Millionaire - which was featured #1 in Amazon.com's "self help" category previously.
My earlier app development business was a Facebook app called PagePressApp, which is currently powering more than 70,000 Fanpages and used in over 133 countries.
I've also started a brand new mobile development called, NagScreen.com to help mobile app developers and marketers to generate revenue from their apps.
I've spoken in 11 countries as an authority in internet marketing and appeared in newspapers numerous times.
I could go on and on to the blurb about myself but that would be impolite. There is no point telling you how awesome I am. So I'll leave it to your own justification on my credentials.
"Why Are You Teaching Us Your Secrets?"
So why am I doing this? Very good question.
To answer your question about why I'm opening up this coaching program, it's because I'm expanding in the app business, right now as we speak.
Meaning, I don't need to work more to create this training for you. I don't need to crack my brain to think of what to teach, dig out the resources for you, etc. Simply because I'm already doing them — I just need to "pass" my knowledge, strategies, secrets and discoveries to you effectively. And subsequently coach you to similar success.
You can see that I didn't do any formal launch for this coaching program, other than sharing it with you and my subscribers.
However, I do need to close it once in a while because I don't want to have too many students in each intake.
Now, as much as I'm doing this coaching program for you, I'm actually doing this for my own business success too.
Why? By far, this is the BEST way I can stay committed to my own milestones for my app business. When I commit to you, I'm fortunately committing to myself.
Lastly, it's because I've recently read the book called 8th Habit by the late Stephen Covey (the best-selling author who wrote The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People). He passed away quite some time ago, so I thought of picking up his book to read it again. The book truly inspires me; It talks about searching for your "voice" and helping others to find their own voice. Today, creating an easy, predictable and stable income is my voice and as cheesy as it sounds, I will help others to find their voice. It's the greatest gift I can give to others… and of course to myself.
The investment to join the APPportunity Coaching Program 2.0 is a one-time investment of $994.
This is what my previous students have been investing for:
Our 60-Day 100% Money Back Guarantee
"I will personally guarantee that if you make an honest effort to learn, follow the instructions and determine to benefit from the coaching program, you'll gain valuable insights on how to make money from mobile apps and start your app business.
That's right, but if you are not 100% satisfied for whatever reason, let me know within the next 45 days and I'll issue you an immediate, no-hassle 100% refund of your investment.
I'm taking all of your risk to make sure that you can be wildly successful. It's as simple as that."
Join Today
I'm actually planning to increase the price from $994 to $1,494.
But I changed my mind.
Not only I'm not going to increase the price at this stage, I'm going to make it amazingly affordable for *everyone* - for only
$994 $494.
You may wonder why.
And if I tell you, you may not believe it.
Truth is, I'm on a mission to help as many people as possible. It's okay for me to make less at this stage as I have multiple streams of internet income.
In the past, I've coached a student wholeheartedly and he made money from apps.
But then, he turned rogue and bashed me publicly in Facebook. Maybe in many more places, I don't know.
I was saddened.
Then I came to realization that there are greed, ego and selfishness in human being when they became successful. There's evil within human being that you could never understand in this lifetime. And not everyone is taught about humility and gratefulness.
But I believe there are still GOOD PEOPLE in this world who we can help within our capability.
To secure your seat before all of them are gone (anytime soon), just click the button below to checkout.
The coaching program is now available for almost free - you'll get 98% discount. So instead of $494, your investment is only a measly one-time $9.77.
Here's why...
I hate seeing my HARD WORK being wasted. You see, I've spent more than 6 months to learn about the app business and thousands of dollars invested. On top of that, so much work have been poured into recording the video training for the 6-Week APPportunity Coaching Program 2.0.
Because of being involved with too many projects, I don't have time to promote it in 2015. So instead of me keeping it, I would prefer to give away my knowledge for free so that I can contribute to others immensely.
But because I did not update the modules, please note on the following:
- I do not provide any coaching. I'm giving you all of my training as a course for free. If you want my time, I'm afraid I'll need to charge you for that.
- The strategies, ideas and methods taught are awesome and definitely can help you. But some of the tutorials may not reflect the latest websites because as mentioned, I did not update the training. For instance, Apple changed their Developer Member Area, so you may not see the same interface. However, the key concepts and steps are still the same.
Imagine if you're just making as little as $100 PER DAY like our students are doing, you would have recoup your investment in just days. After that, you'll continue to grow your app business and keeping 100% of the profit.
Yours truly,
P.S. Important UPDATE: Due to the overwhelming response to this coaching program, it could end as early as within the next few hours. Don't delay. Your 2014 future's here. To get your seat secured, Click on the links above NOW… Remember, you have a 45-day money back guarantee with no questions asked whatsoever.
P.P.S. Think about it… Within the next 6 weeks, you too could be an app entrepreneur or marketer like me. And as you keep following the techniques outlined in The APPportunity Coaching Program 2.0 it just gets better; the money can keep rolling in. The step-by-step process you'll follow will generate results that will surprise you. Heck, you might even consider stopping internet marketing by this point.
REVEALED: How To Start An App Business In Less Than A Week With Zero App Development (... As Quickly As Just Days From Now!)

Here Are 4 Common Questions From Buyers:
Q.Do I need to know about programming?
A.No, the APPportunity Coaching Program 2.0 is designed for NON-programmers. In fact, 99% of our students who are making money with apps right now DO NOT have any programming knowledge or experience at all. It's about understanding how to build the app business.
Q.I'm an internet marketing (IM) newbie. Is this suitable for me?
A.Yes, because an app business doesn't require you to know much about internet marketing. In fact, if you've been failing with internet marketing, you should drop it and work on this for a change. You'll soon notice that the app business is actually easier to monetize (since there are fewer things to learn).
Q.I'm an experienced internet marketer. Is this too basic for me?
A.The coaching program is step-by-step but it'll be an entire new world to you because it has nothing to do with internet marketing. As an experienced marketer, my only advice is, you SHOULD join me. Today, I run 2 kinds of internet businesses – internet marketing business and app business.
Q.What apps are we focusing on?
A.We'll start with iPhone apps. If you have a winning iPhone app, you can always consider deploying it to the Google Androids platform later on. Or, you even create iPad versions. At the same time, for content app, we'll focus more on Androids instead.

The Ada frame is one of the most popular additions to the ECO Collection offering. It's a stylish round frame with the perfect mix of materials: wood, cotton-acetate & stainless steel. The Ada is a fun vintage inspired frame that is sure to stand out on anyone.
Clarity and color are key when it comes to lenses. All Proof lenses are made from CR-39 or Polycarbonate materials. We also offer a range of tints and mirrors to cater to style preferences; however, the majority of our frames are offered with a polarized lens. A polarized lens reduces glare reflected off shiny, non-metallic surfaces such as water, along with blocking all harmful UVA/ UVB rays. Lens tints and colors not only offer a unique look and style but also enhance different environments and landscapes.
Here at Proof, we always strive to give back to those around us; it's really how we got our start. We want to provide quality products that have meaning and do something beneficial through the purchase of those products. Along with doing good to mother nature, we also work at doing good to those around the world. A portion of each purchase goes to a worthy cause that we've chosen to donate to.
Since our start in 2010, we've helped provide tsunami relief in Japan, child soldier rehabilitation in Africa, and reforestation in Haiti. In 2013, we embraced the idea of donating funds on a project-by-project basis. That year, we started by donating funds to build two eye clinics in India where over ¼ of the world's blind population resides. Both clinics continue to provide sight–giving cataract surgeries to those in need. In 2015, we had the best of both worlds and were able to give back globally and locally. We traveled to El Salvador for various community projects with a donation totaling over $12,000 and shortly after we were able to donate $12,000 to The Nature Conservancy in Idaho. Whether it be in Idaho or India, for maintaining land or providing eye care, we consider ourselves global citizens and will continue to use a socially conscious business model to do good.
