As a young man, like many other boys my age, I went through a phase where I thought NASCAR was awesome. I was led into it by the fact that a lot of the Matchbox cars I was getting had names and faces on the cards, and I was told that there was an entire sport based around them. This fascinated me, and through my Grandpa and my cigar chomping uncles I came to idolize the drivers and their cars and the sport itself.
And then I watched an actual race.
Or, more to the point, I watched five minutes of an actual race before I realized just how boring it was.
Can you really blame a 6 year old? I mean, say what you will about baseball being boring but at least they don't show commercials during at-bats because each one is basically the same as all the others. For something moving at 200 miles per hour, NASCAR races sure are slow. In fact, the only really interesting part of a stock car race, for me and I'm sure a lot of other people, is when one of those things moving at 200 miles per hour collides with something moving 0 miles per hour.
I say this, because I need to make it clear that I have no long standing affection for stock car racing, something that this movie kind of really wants you to have.
DAYS OF THUNDER starts off with a used car dealer who suddenly decides he wants to own a race car-a thought we've all had at one point or another -however, in a critical failure to realize just how bitchin' he would be at 175 mph, he doesn't actually want to drive it himself. Instead, he hires California dandy Cole Trickle, played by Tom Cruise, to race for him. He also brings Robert Duvall onto his race team to whisper sweet nothings to the car before races (On a side note, Robert Duvall is actually really good in this movie). Cole proves himself and gets on a winning streak before (apparently?) entering into a rivalry with another driver (because it was made in the 80s, the good guy needs a rival) who causes an accident that leaves both of them in the hospital and off the track. Tom Cruise starts up a (somewhat strange) relationship with his doctor, played by Nicole Kidman.
…..I didn't like this movie.
Cole Trickle, the main character, is just kind of a badly constructed character. It's like he comes into the movie in medias res but he doesn't have any kind of medias. It's like you're expected to know everything about him without much character development at all. That, and what you do find out about him is that he's kind of a bastard. He does crazy, irrational things that might make a lot more sense to someone who understands what race drivers go through on a day to day basis, but to anyone else it often seems like attempted murder. Calling Cole Trickle a sociopath might not be the least warranted statement in the world! One minute he's playing bumper cars in a rent-a-car in the city, what's he doing the next? Is he hacking off someone's limbs because they complimented Nicole Kidman? We just don't know!
Now, I know nothing about the actual rules of NASCAR. However, most of the racers seem less interested in a test of skill against other talented drivers and more interested in killing everyone else on the track. There isn't a race featured in this film without 20 car wrecks and spinning debris, because someone was being an asshole on turn 3. It's like fucking Mario Kart out there – Carmageddon – and creating a war zone seems somewhat unsportsmanlike.
You know how you're not supposed to smoke near cameras or lenses or film? Well, there's a lot of this movie that looks like someone ignored those "No Smoking" signs. Most of the outdoor scenes between characters are filmed through this kind of orange-ish, burnt looking filter that I *think* is supposed to give the illusion of the heat of the track on race day, but it just ends up obscuring any meaning the scenes themselves had. I'm always amazed by the effect such small things can have on how people view and understand movies.
DAYS OF THUNDER isn't the worst movie in the world. It's just not good in… well really any way. It's impressively "meh," and I have trouble forming a real opinion. It doesn't really give you a real reason to care, and not even Robert Duvall's performance can save the movie. It's basically TOP GUN on the ground. Thinking about it, it's got basically the same plot and hell, Tom Cruise even drives around on a fucking motorcycle.
I think I've got a problem with Tony Scott. It's a sort of discomfort that's hard to place. It's not that I think he's particularly bad (though he has put out some god awful flicks-anyone remember DOMINO?), it's just that he hasn't done anything I think is particularly good. He's bigger then he should be for someone who hasn't done anything that's so great. Oh, yeah, people love TOP GUN, but let's be honest – TOP GUN isn't that great if you actually look at it. ENEMY OF THE STATE is pretty good. TRUE ROMANCE, too, and I'll be the first to admit a certain affection for BEVERLY HILLS COP II. But any way you cut it he's a pretty B-grade director. It might also be that he didn't make MATCHSTICK MEN or BLADERUNNER, and I'm incredibly biased in stupid, stupid ways.
I think my main problem with NASCAR is that it's not nearly as interesting as it's pretending to be. You know what can be awesome? Drag racing. For the 3 seconds you can actually see those 30-foot phallic symbols rocket down the strip at 250 miles per hour, it can be pretty awesome. And then it's over, and then there's 2 totally new guys up in about 3 minutes. I even used to know a guy who raced quarter midgets (Basically $2000 go-karts with wind vanes on top), which is like watching 4 year olds race around an aisle in Wal-Mart that's got a Wet Floor sign up. But I just can't wrap my head around the enjoyment people have in NASCAR. Despite what they've done to make it crowd-friendly, racing is inherently not a good spectator sport because the competitors want to put as much distance between you and them as possible. Much like chess is an imitation of warfare between 2 kings, American race sports started when the Moonshine runners didn't have to get chased by the cops to get the distilled gasoline their pa made in the back shed down to the local speakeasy. Racing is entirely for the enjoyment of the racers – not for the crowd – and that's why when you stop next to a guy at a red light in Asbury Park at 2 a.m. and he revs his engine at you, you know that shit is on.
Pretty much the only thing I really like about NASCAR is knowing that, if a race is going badly for me, I have the option to turn the car around and drive around the track backwards t0 end it for my friends by causing a head-on collision.
I will genuinely concede this to NASCAR though. It's the only sport where every team competes in the same event, and is therefore much easier to follow. There you go. I gave it that.
Maybe it's the fact that I grew up about 10 minutes from the kind of place with radio advertisements that would yell about how Billy Ray Gieger was going to jump his motor bike across 14 starving orphans on fire and that Joe Danger was going to strap a bomb to his chest and it was all going down on SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY instead of near a location where (arguably) real motorsports take place. But I guess that's just my loss.
Favorite Part –The actual race scenes are the highlight of the flick, regardless of how little I understand the actual rules. You don't have to suffer through the 3 hour ordeal of a race, just 3 minute chunks of the interesting bits.
Best Actor – Robert Duvall is actually very good in this movie. He pulls out an actual acting performance in a film full of phoned in, half-assed ones, and for that he stands out even more.
Most Thankful For… – John C. Reilly. He's not in the movie for long. In fact I don't think he has more than four lines, but seeing him in this movie was like watching a superhero movie and seeing some inside joke you caught because you know the comics.
What Date You Should Watch This On – Spare yourself the embarrassment. This isn't a movie you want to submit someone else to. Watch FANTASTIC MR. FOX. Girls love that movie.
After Watching This Movie, I… – went out and saw CYRUS. Awww, John C. Reilly. You've come so far.
While I was Writing This Article I… – was AWAKE. Remember how, in the PREDATOR Rewind, I said I had been awake for 45 hours? Yeah. That was kind of a lie. Now, this time? I'm not lying. Straight through. I think I've been up two days. I can't be sure. After around the fourth Monster it all starts to run together. The life of an internet comedy writer would make a fascinating study on the outer limits of the human sleep cycle.
Recommend Watching? – Ehhh…..This is a hard one to sell after seeing the actual movie. Really, if you've seen TOP GUN, there's no reason to watch DAYS OF THUNDER, and if you haven't seen TOP GUN, you probably should so you can be in on the other half of the jokes on the internet. It's a missable flick.

UK's Northern Silicon Valley Upbeat Despite Brexit Uncertainties
- Photo: The hub's hub: MediaCityUK has become ground zero for northern England's media resurgence.
- Photo: Marke Creative: Brand impressionists.
- Photo: Teads' online video work for Forbes.
- Photo: Prolific North Live 2018: Annual showcase for northern England's increasingly diverse digital sector.
Spurred by the regional redeployment of the BBC, northern England has become something of a global hub for the ever-burgeoning digital and broadcast content industries, but will the ill wind of the looming EU exit scupper all that?
In recent years, the north of England has become something of a hub for the media and marketing industries – a development celebrated by Prolific North Live 2018 (PNL 2018), a two-day event held at EventCity in Manchester. Alongside a full programme of talks and seminars, this third edition of the event played host to a wide range of exhibitors from around the UK.
A telling sign of the region's post-industrial transformation is MediaCityUK, a complex occupying the site of the former Manchester docks and now home to an array of media players, including two national broadcasters – the BBC and ITV. Explaining why PNL has now taken on such prominence, MediaCityUK's Asset Manager, Lynn Haime, said: "We're at Prolific North Live to talk to people about the destination, what's going on at MediaCityUK and what kind of occupiers we've got down there. It's quite a hub for creative digital technology businesses and it's a major destination in its own right. A lot of our tenants have their own stands at the show.
"For our part, we're on the cusp of our 'future development' phase. Our existing estate is just over half a million square feet and we've got another half a million square feet to build out. Some of that will be demand-led and some of it will be built out to accommodate the growth of companies that we've already got on site."
One existing MediaCityUK resident is Eko 4 Global Services, an award-winning digital company specialising in market internationalisation. Vess Christoph, the company's Managing Director, was bullish about its offer, saying: "We have an in-house translation team and in-house development teams. We're able to create an online strategy, develop a design and then actually optimise it for different countries, which is quite unique."
Having established itself in MediaCityUK in 2015, Eko 4 Global Services now has offices in London and Boston. For Christoph, being located in Manchester was key to the company's initial success. He said: "Because of things like the business growth hub happening in Manchester, we've been able to get the skills together to become an international company in just three years. If we were in London, we probably wouldn't have become so successful in such a short time."
Christoph sees MediaCityUK as 'the Silicon Quays', a reference to California's Silicon Valley tech nexus, and is convinced that UK governmental support has been instrumental in its success, saying: "I've worked in Stockholm, Boston and Miami and they're all growing their own Silicon Valley, but there isn't that government incentive that supports companies coming in – holding workshops, getting the European money and the local council money, actually putting them into business."
In theory, Eko 4 is interested in developing ties to both Hong Kong and mainland China, but has encountered a number of difficulties along the way, with Christoph saying: "We tried it. We did the research but finding the right partners, working with agents and finding our way there is tremendously hard. We'd hope to expand into those markets in maybe three or four years' time."
Several exhibitors at Prolific North were based outside northern England. Marke Creative Merchandise, part of the worldwide Staples group, for instance, is based near London and creates bespoke merchandising programmes. Outlining its current offer, the company's Business Development Manager, John Chambers, said: "We work with SMEs and blue-chip companies as well as with a lot of international companies. Once we understand the brand, the values and the marketing message they want to get across, we then come up with a programme of merchandise to help develop brand awareness."
Marke Creative deals with all kinds of merchandising, from the traditional to the cutting edge. The idea of 'brand impressions' is central to the business – the actual number of times someone will see an item with a company's logo. In line with this, Chambers is convinced that branded tech accessories are now vital when it comes to building awareness.
Expanding on this, he said: "With smartphone technology, even if it's a fan that plugs into the bottom of your phone, a power bank or a charging cable, the reason that they're so popular is that the average person now looks at their phone about 500 times a day. That's a low estimate too, as it's such a highly seen product."
Despite such upbeat sentiments, he acknowledges that certain industries and markets are finding the current climate difficult and have tightened their marketing budgets. Clearly seeing this as a mistake, he says: "It's getting through to companies that, when finances are tight, that's when they should be spending the money and promoting their business. For us, overall there's still good growth in the marketplace at the moment."
Another internationally minded company exhibiting at the show was Teads, a software company specialising in online video advertising. Expanding on the role its services play in the overall marketing mix, Operations Manager Desiree Nicholson said: "We're the inventors of Outstream. We provide publishers with a player that allows them to monetise where it previously wasn't possible.
"It's all about the viewability of the video. Our format only begins when it's in view and when the video is out of view it pauses, so it's 100% viewable. We place the video within an article, within professional editorial content. Where previously we were monetising video in terms of putting it pre-roll, we now put it out-stream so that it can generate additional revenue."
Originally founded in France in 2011, Teads is now a market leader in its field, with about 80 offices across the globe and a range of major clients, including Vodafone, the telecoms giant. Bullish about its British business prospects in particular, Nicholson said: "Our UK office is in London and we also have a branch in Manchester. We are expanding and our business here is growing fast."
Similarly enjoying something of a purple patch was Hedgehog Lab. Founded in 2007 and based in northeast England, the company specialises in the design and development of mobile apps, while also offering corporate Internet of Things solutions and augmented reality / virtual reality services.
Emphasising the importance of the company's location, Head of Commercial Services Chris Brock said: "Being in northern England is paramount for us. We've got a truly thriving tech community but I don't think enough people know about it yet."
With an average annual growth rate of 67%, Hedgehog Lab was recently named by The Northern Tech Awards as one of its top 100 fastest-growing organisations, while Inc magazine has listed it as one of Europe's 5,000 fastest-growing companies.
In light of this, Brock was understandably bullish about the company's international prospects, although he did outline a few concerns over the UK's future trading relationships, saying: "While we're doing really well over here in the UK, and have six other offices, including operations in the US, Denmark and India, we don't know how Brexit will affect us just yet.
"I was over in Brussels recently and I met with the Department of International Trade out there in order to test the temperature. We would like to push on within Europe so we're excited, but a bit apprehensive, too."
Hedgehog Lab is eager to explore the post-PC world beyond the field of mobile apps and was recently involved in a major virtual-reality presentation for the forthcoming Great Exhibition of the North. As the innovation partner for local utility firm Northumbrian Water, it has consulted as to how the company and its customers might make use of Amazon's virtual assistant, Alexa. It has also co-operated on a government White Paper considering how the Amazon Echo could improve the lives of Alzheimer sufferers.
Brock also feels sure that Hedgehog Lab has much to offer companies in Hong Kong and mainland China, saying: "We know that there are very talented developers out there, but when it comes to apps I think the one thing that they are lacking in and could look to the UK for is user experience and user interface. It's globally acknowledged that the UK is at the forefront of graphic design. So, what a company like ours can export is beautifully designed native apps."
Prolific North Live 2018 expo took place from 28 February-1 March at EventCity in Manchester.

Muriatic acid is a strong form of acid often used to remove paint and etch pools. Muriatic acid is generally too strong for use on wood. However, under the right circumstances and with the right dilution of the acid it is possible to use muriatic acid as a stripper for wood.
Muriatic acid is a type of acid that is commonly used to strip paint from brick and concrete. Using it to strip varnishes and paint from wood is not recommended because the harsh nature of the acid can eat into the wood, causing gouges that cannot be repaired. According to studies by the State of Missouri's Department of Heath and Senior Services, muriatic acid is not compatible with wood. However, if the process is done correctly, muriatic acid can be used to strip finishes and paint from wood in extreme circumstances when nothing else is available. Always take extreme caution when working with the acid because it is equally corrosive on flesh.
The only way to use muriatic acid on wood is to water it down and use it quickly. Dilute any muriatic acid solution to 10 percent strength. In other words, mix one part acid with nine parts water. Have a bucket of rinsing water on hand before using the acid. Dip a brush into the acid solution and rub onto the surface of the wood. The finish should immediately start eating away. Immediately after brushing on the acid coat take a wet cloth and rub the remaining acid away. The finish should come up along with the acid. When fast actions are taken in this method then, and only then, is it safe to use muriatic acid on wood. If the acid seems to have no effect at all at that strength, then gradually increase the concentration of acid until you get the desired results.
Muriatic acid is also used for the conservation of wood. This is only recommended for hardwoods such as oak, cherry or maple. Softer woods cannot handle the acidity of muriatic acid. Once the wood has been washed it can be placed in a bath of muriatic acid made of one part acid and nine parts water. The wood should soak for two to four days in this solution. The wood should then be rinsed for an additional three to five days--under a running water stream, for example--to eliminate all traces of the acid. This treatment can help prepare the surface to receive new resins and varnishes.

About Me
I'm a second year English and European Law student at Queen Mary, University of London. It's essentially a normal three-year law degree with an extra year abroad, which I'll be spending in Paris. My choice of discipline of course gives away my interest in a career in law, but I'm very open to learning about other professions. The National Student Challenge was great in that respect as it enabled me to gain exposure and chat to employers in other fields, which is invaluable in itself. After the Challenge, employers often get in touch with students they particularly liked – it's a great foot in the door!
The Online Element
I came across the Challenge when looking to practice some of the online tests many employers now make students take. They tend to leave us hanging with regards to results so I was curious to see how mine compared to those of my peers. Overall, I thought it was a lot of fun and very exciting to track my progress on the league table. The advice I would give to people taking the tests is to practice loads before the real thing to avoid feeling like a deer in the headlights. They're supposed to be based purely on ability but it does take a few tries to get your head around the format.
The Grand Final
I was astonished I'd made it to the Grand Final – it was a lovely surprise! The group exercises were not at all what I was expecting – there were some very creative ones like organising a star–studded event and building a paper ramp to slide a ping pong ball down (my favourite). It was quite difficult because we might be working in a team towards a common goal for one exercise, then have to argue against each other in the next. Similar to my surprise at reaching the Grand Final, I did not in any way expect to reach the top 3. It feels great now, though it did take a while to sink in. My large £250 cheque (or my 'two fiddy' as I like to call it) is now proudly hanging on my wall.
How the Experience Will Help Me in the Long Run
Prizes aside, this was a great experience and fantastic preparation for assessment centres. University careers services do run mock sessions but they're no substitute for the feeling of genuine competition I got from participating in the NSC. Such days are all about teamwork and bringing out the best in the other members of the group, each of whom will bring their own skills and unique way of contributing to the table. Every team is different so it's important to get loads of practice to get comfortable with assessment centres. A tip I would give is to be careful about how others perceive you. Although it can be tempting to go in there with an 'in it to win it attitude', the others will see this and it will create a difficult atmosphere for co-operation. Much of the positive feedback other winners got related to the fact that they'd made the rest of their group feel at ease and tried to involve everyone in the day's activities.

Nearly a year and a half after voting to become part of the Northern California Independent Booksellers Association, the Northern California Children's Booksellers Alliance is relaunching its children's bookseller meetings this month. Two have been scheduled so far this year, starting with one on February 24 at Book Passage in Corte Madera. The group is also looking at how it wants to move forward, including possibly reviving its annual Otter Gala, last held in 2011, at which it honored children's book authors and illustrators.
Like meetings in the past, February's gathering, according to NCCBA chair Summer Dawn Laurie, children's specialist at Books Inc., Laurel Village in San Francisco, will give booksellers a chance to share best practices and bookselling challenges, meet local authors with new releases, and talk about favorite reads. In addition, there will be a programming component. In this case author Mitali Perkins, whose most recent book is Open Mic: Riffs on Life Between Cultures in Ten Voices (Candlewick), will talk about the value of multicultural books and how to handsell them. Scholastic is also sponsoring a light supper at which booksellers will have an opportunity to meet debut author Natalie Lloyd, whose novel A Snicker of Magic is being released this month.
Looking ahead, said Laurie, who holds a position on the NCIBA board as well, "our intention is to grow the alliance organically in response to membership needs. My goal is to bring renewed vibrancy to our listserv, connecting more frontline booksellers than we've had in the past." She's also planning to add an alliance page on the NCIBA Web site. The meetings are in addition to children's programming at both the Spring Gathering and the fall regional conference and trade show.
For his part, Hut Landon, executive director of NCIBA, said, "We are delighted that the children's booksellers are becoming re-energized and reforming their group. We look forward to helping them do more by assisting with promotions and activities."

About Us
Just as President Kennedy rallied the nation to dream big and set audacious goals 50 years ago, The Kennedy Forum seeks to set a new standard for the future of health care in the United States.
Our mission is big, and the stakes are clear. We seek to unite the health care system, and rally the mental health community around a common set of principles: Fully implement the 2008 parity law, bring business leaders and government agencies together to eliminate issues of stigma, work with providers to guarantee equal access to care, ensure that policymakers have the tools they need to craft better policy, and give consumers a way to understand their rights.

The Ultimate InstaGC Review.
InstaGC Review
Now a days, it seems like there are a million in one ways to earn money online by performing some relatively simple tasks such as:
- Participating in an online survey.
- Watching videos,
- Testing or downloading certain apps.
- Etc, etc…
But it seems like only a few of these online websites/apps have been able to combine all of these methods into one cohesive website which is why we here at TermLife2Go wanted to take a moment and actually examine how the instaGC program works and try to determine whether or not it would be a good way for someone to earn a few extra bucks on the side.
So, what is instaGC?
InstaGC is a GTP website also referred to as "Get Paid To" website that allows its users to earn "points" by performing a variety of different online tasks which can then be redeemed for gift cards (or cash if you prefer).
And according to the instaGC website, it seems like their platform has become pretty popular considering the fact that at the time this review was written, instaGC has not issued over 1 million gift cards since they were first established back in 2011!
So, how Does instaGC Work?
Well, to start working on the instaGC platform, you first have to register and create an account. To do this, you'll need to be at least 18 years of age or 13 with a parents consent just like many of our other apps/sites that we have mentioned on out Top Money Making Apps article, and you'll need to be living in a permitted country where Paypal is accepted.
From there…
instaGC will also require you to provide some personal information so that instaGC can "determine" what surveys you may be eligible for when attempting to earn "points" later on within the instaGC program. Then once you've completed your registration, you will then be able to start earning money by performing a wide variety of tasks.
At this point however…
You're probably going to want to first familiarize yourself with all of what instaGC has to offer before immediately "jumping" into a survey start watching videos. This is because, even by instaGC own admission, sometimes it can be difficult and frustrating to navigate through the instaGC site and complete certain offers.
For this reason…
They advise you to first "learn the basics" and let them "teach" you the "in's and out's" of their program so that you'll have the best opportunity to succeed using the instaGC program and become as efficient as possible.
How much does it cost to use instaGC?
InstaGC is completely free to use. Now you may decide to purchase items that are for sale within the instaGC program, but that will be a choice that you make in order to receive some kind of discount by shopping on the instaGC website. Which is great! Because unlike many other discount programs you're not going to be required to make pay any kind of membership fee.
Is instaGC a legitimate company? Or is instaGC a scam?
From everything that we've been able to discover about instaGC, we've found that they seem to be a completely legitimate company and have very few complaints against them online.
Which is surprising given the fact that most companies that do provide this "type" of service tend to get a lot of folks complaining about them because they either….
- There don't seem to be a lot of "surveys" that meet their requirements.
- OR the individual is upset that they aren't earning enough money by performing the available tasks.
Which brings us to an important part of our instaGC review, which is where we discuss how much money you can make using the instaGC website.
How much can you earn using instaGC?
If you decide that you want to give instaGC a try, it's important to go into it with realistic expectations.
You see…
You're not going to become independently wealthy by performing tasks with the instaGC platform. In fact, you're going to need to earn a lot of points before you're going to see any "real" money from the instaGC program.
How instaGC points are "valued".
- 1 instaGC point = $0.01 cents.
- 10 instaGc points = $0.10 cents.
- 100 instaGC points = $1.00 dollar.
- 1,000 instaGC points = $10.00 dollars
- 10,000 instaGC points = $100.00 dollars
And guess what…
Most surveys don't pay a lot of points so you're going to need to determine for yourself if it makes sense for you to participate in some surveys or tasks simply because you aren't going to earn a "ton" of money/points for doing so.
That said however…
According to instaGC, there are some members who really take participating in this program seriously and are able to earn up to 500-2000 points daily.
Now could these same people be doing something else that would be more profitable?
Who knows, all we can say is that it seems like some folks find instaGC to be a great way to supplement their current income by performing online tasks from the comfort of their own home.
Are survey's the only way you can make money using instaGC?
Paid surveys are the main way most folks earn money using instaGC, but they aren't the only way you make earn money within the instaGC program. There are also a fair number of other tasks that will be available to you if you wish.
Other opportunities including:
- Watching short videos or commercials,
- Earning points for shopping online,
- Visiting certain websites,
- Downloading programs,
- Signing up for trials,
- Etc, etc…
Which is why…
At the end of the day, we here at TermLife2Go feel that if you are looking for a way to help supplement your current budget without having to look for a part time job, the instaGC program could be just what you're looking for.
Our only recommendation is that if you do decide to try it, always use a "secondary" email when first giving it a try. You see, some of these programs do tend to send its members lot of emails and if it turns out that you don't "love" instaGC, you won't be bothered by getting any of their emails from them to your primary email account.
Which brings us to…
"Why is a company like TermLife2Go writing a review on instaGC?
That's simple, we're writing our review of the instaGC program today because our primary goal here at TermLife2Go is to help improve the financial security of all of our clients. And while we believe that purchasing term life insurance is a great way to do that, we understand that not all of our clients are going to be able to qualify or afford a life insurance policy at this time in their life. (Interested in knowing what it would cost, just click here Term Life Insurance Quotes).
And rather than…
Just hang up with folks who aren't "ready" to purchase a life insurance policy, we like to provide tools that might be able to help their future outlook until which time they can qualify or afford a life insurance policy.
Other than that…
There really isn't much too it. We are simply looking out for ways that our visitors can make some extra money. So, if you decide to use the app, great! If not, no problem we hope that you find some other way to be able to earn a few extra bucks each month.

Children's diets are poor regardless of demographics, a new study has found
May 03, 2016 | News | by The Learning Press staff
New research from the University of Adelaide shows Australian children are getting almost half of their daily energy from junk food.
The study evaluated the core food intake of more than 430 South Australian children aged nine and ten.
The results - published in the Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics this week - showed that 45% of the children's daily energy intake was sourced from "discretionary" foods which are high in fat, salt and sugar.
"We found that children obtained over half of their daily energy from carbohydrates and about one-third of their energy from fats, half of which was saturated fat," said lead author Dr Melissa Whitrow.
"We know that an unhealthy diet is a key contributor to obesity and also paves the way for other health problems in later life, such as poor cardiovascular health.
"The establishment and maintenance of healthy eating habits during the transition from childhood to adolescence is also very important."
Among the finding were:
"At this stage in their lives, girls need to eat more dairy as they head towards puberty, as this is important for their bone density," Dr Whitrow said.
"Variety of food is also an issue.
"Red meat tended to be the dominant meat, whereas fish should be consumed in a healthy diet at least weekly. It's important for families to understand that processed meat is a discretionary food, not a core food, and is often high in salt and fat."
She says socio-economic status made little difference to the dietary problems highlighted in the study.
"Based on the results of our study, there is much to be done to encourage nine to ten year-old children and their families to make healthier food choices.
"For example, substituting at least one high-fat, high-sugar or high-salt food item with a healthier food choice in the school lunchbox each day might make a difference.
"This isn't about blaming the parents. As a community we need to help parents more. We need to look at what's being advertised to their children, and how we can encourage children to try different foods. Providing healthy alternatives into a lunchbox and more vegetables at the dinner table would be a good start."
This study has been conducted in collaboration with the University of Newcastle, and was funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council and the Australian Research Council.

There's been a bit of debate here in the studio about the future of vertical video. It may be great on today's vertical mobile screens but could it really reach the cinematic level? I always thought 'no, it's too weird a shape, physically, for a cinema space to adjust to'. Then I saw two things that changed my mind: this photo of a vertical screen working perfectly in the space of a church, and the short film in the link, 'Impact'.
So what is good about flipping the script on aspect ratios?
It forces you to frame things differently. The traditional two-shot for example simply cannot exist in this format, it has to look different. And constrictions can lead to fantastic creative solutions to tell your story, as demonstrated in Impact.
New is cool. It's often true that new ways of doing things get attention and respect—think "the world's first this or that", and it's safe to say that film is due a bit of a shaking up…. I mean, they're still making Star Wars movies! (controversial…)
It works better where it's viewed. Most people view your content on mobile, that's a widely acknowledged fact these days, and vertical video is literally designed for this behaviour. We don't turn our phones to landscape, so when we watch video over 50% of your screen real-estate is wasted—not true when shot vertically. In fact Snapchat, which fully heroes vertical video, says that its users are nine times more likely to watch a vertical ad to the end versus a horizontal ad (source).
And for other screens, yes, vertical is the wrong shape. But the church example above promises a fantastic experience, if the format ever does cross over into more cinematic pieces.
We can't wait to produce some!

Life insurance comes in different types and whole life insurance is one of its categories. This is the kind of insurance that gives you coverage for an entire lifetime. It not only helps your beneficiaries get death benefits when you die but also allows you to accumulate cash value. You can use the amount as savings or even borrow some of it to use when you are still alive.
The insurance policy of this type of insurance applies the premiums that you pay both to your savings and the death benefit. Though you may pay more to get this type of insurance compared to others, you can gain lots of benefits. The insurance policy pays you dividends that are tax-free giving you some flexibility compared to other types of insurance like term life insurance. You can use this dividend to pay premiums or acquire cash pay-outs.
Whole life insurance comes in three options namely the traditional form, single premium, and interest-sensitive form. The traditional form provides you with a minimum return rate on the portion of your cash value. Like an adjustable rate mortgage, the interest-sensitive option offers a variable rate on the portion of your cash value. This form gives you flexibility since you can raise your death benefit without interfering with the premiums. A person with a lot of money can go for the single premium option.
Life insurance policies are charged from analysing risks. An expensive policy usually has a higher risk than a cheap one. Since whole life insurance covers you for a lifetime, the risk of dying is high making it expensive. A term life insurance has minimal risk since it covers you for a specific period in which you may not pass away.
As you pay premiums for whole life insurance, the policy aims at financing your death benefit over a long time. Unlike other types of insurance, the premiums of whole life insurance do not change with time. It is beneficial in that some of the premium money that you pay is forwarded to your cash value. By purchasing whole life insurance early, you can use the portion of your savings to pay your insurance policy.
The insurance also provides lifelong coverage eliminating the need to take any future medical exams. You also save on taxes to your estate. Though the policy has many benefits, it has a low rate of return. You should therefore not use it solely as your main tool for investment.
Whole life policies come with different prices at various companies. If you an agent offers minimal options from a single company, check out online life insurance quotes from other companies. Do not work with the first company you come across without comparing rates from other institutions. A broker can provide different quotes that come with numerous options.
You may also need the services of a financial advisor to review your financial plan. Since whole life insurance is more expensive than term insurance, you need to ensure that you are working with a stable company to maximize profits.
We had a conversation with a loan company called Bingo Loans for some information on the best ways to save money on life insurance:
A life insurance plan can help you save money as you continue meeting your other needs from it. You can only save if you start by shopping around for different life insurance quotes. So many insurance companies provide various plans and different prices. Comparing them can help you save by choosing the one with the lowest rates.
It is possible for you to save money by choosing term life insurance. Though whole life insurance comes with cash value components, it is more expensive than term life insurance. The insurance policy may force you to save some cash, but you will spend a lot on paying premiums. Term insurance lets you buy cheap premiums so that you can invest the difference.
Do not take the cash value in whole life insurance as a traditional investment. As you make withdrawals from your insurance policy, you lower your death benefit. Taking more money than your total premiums from the cash value of the insurance policy makes the amount taxable. The problem with choosing whole life insurance is that you pay five times higher than the amount you spend on premiums in term life insurance.
Term life insurance, therefore, allows you to save due to low premiums. Renewing this insurance policy also increases your premiums. Purchase an extended term life insurance that can last for at least ten years for you to save. "No load' insurance policies also come with fewer expenses compared to others. Low expenses mean that a significant percentage of the premium works in your favour making it easy for you to build cash value fast.
Though a lot of companies do not sell "no load" policies, you can buy them from a financial advisor who charges flat fees instead of getting commissions from an insurance company. Stay away from guaranteed issue policies if you are healthy. Though this does not require medical exams, they are costlier than other insurance policies.
People who choose this insurance policy have problems getting life insurance because of medical issues. The problem with the policy is that you pay high premiums making it difficult for you to save. Look at online life insurance quotes to compare prices of term life insurance. Choosing the lowest quote can help you save.
Taking care of your health also prevents you from incurring additional expenses. Health problems also make it difficult to purchase life insurance. Some life insurance companies pump up your rate if you have medical conditions such as hypertension and diabetes. They also have rates for nicotine users and smokers. This can make you incur high cost on life insurance since they ask for saliva and urine tests to check for nicotine content in your system. Avoiding drugs and improving your health can help you get a reasonable insurance policy.
Do not take a new insurance policy if you require more life insurance. If you change your needs, consider taking a rider which adds extra coverage to your needs. This helps you expand the coverage without affecting the cash value that you have already built in. Also, get life insurance soon when the premiums are still low. Life insurance becomes more expensive with age.
Most of us think of buying insurance when calamities occur. That is the time when we mostly rely on an insurance company to save us from a bad situation. This should not be the case as you should prepare for calamities before they occur. Good insurance coverage can protect your assets, health as well as financial welfare.
You should start early preparations by considering different forms of insurance and choosing a reputable company for coverage. If you need life insurance, seek online life insurance quotes from a well-known company to ensure that your family does not suffer financial constraints during your demise.
Check out different companies with the help of insurance rating organizations to protect your assets. Some companies such as Demotech. Inc receive high ratings. Insurance rating organizations are responsible for measuring the financial performance of different insurance companies.
Though cost is a factor that you can consider when choosing an insurance company, you should beware that a cheap company does not always have to be the best. Some of the cheap companies don't offer the best customer service. Some organizations can help you check the record of different companies to determine their performance. You can also consult a financial adviser when choosing an insurance company to help you build wealth.
A lot of people also choose to work with insurance agents instead of buying the policy directly from a company. If you prefer this option, ensure that the agent gives you the best offer. Do not hesitate to ask if you can obtain a better price than they may be offering. You can also get a coverage package plan that is comprehensive from your inquiry.
Some insurance agents are independent while others are captive agents. An independent insurance agent works on behalf of different companies. They, therefore, offer numerous quotes for you to compare and get the right one. A captive agent, on the other hand, works on behalf of a single company. Such an agent can only provide you with the policy options of one company. Such an agent can limit you by offering minimal quotes.
Though insurance agents provide coverage options and sound advice, they should not have the final say. You can still research further if you feel the need to do so. You should also know that there is an option of upgrading in the future if you don't have enough money to get coverage for some options. Start by purchasing the minimum coverage. When you are financially stable, feel free to upgrade your insurance policy and include a better coverage package.
As you apply for your insurance, avoid giving false information. This can make the insurance company cancel your policy when they find out that the information you gave is incorrect. You may also have to wait for a while to get coverage since it does not have to be automatic. For instance, if you buy a new car, the insurance company may take some time to cover it, therefore inform the insurance company for you to get coverage.
Every person with loved ones should get life insurance. Different companies offer life insurance quotes at various costs. Shopping around can help you save a lot on your life insurance policy. Before choosing the right company, you should think about how long you intend to pay for the life insurance.
Sometimes, companies increase life insurance premiums. This can impact on your insurance policy negatively. You can save yourself from this situation by choosing the one with the lowest premiums. As you shop for life insurance quotes, you should be keen on every pound that comes with it. Think about your needs and determine how much insurance you require.
Knowing what you need from the company can help you make informed decisions while shopping for life insurance quotes. Before you choose between term and whole life insurance, weigh the pros and cons of each type of insurance. For instance, term insurance is more affordable than whole life insurance. It is a temporary form of insurance that covers you over a specific duration. Whole life insurance is a permanent, covering you the whole of your life. The costs of whole life insurance are high.
Save yourself time by shopping for online life insurance quotes. Different companies offer this service through online sources. They are convenient and easy to manage. Alternatively, you can also get more help from a local agent. Consult different companies for you to compare their services before settling for one. Start with the comparing how much life insurance quotes costs in different companies.
Be ready to face some rejections from some companies and move on to the next one when it happens. You should also prepare yourself for some medical questions and take some medical exams. Know your financial capabilities as you compare companies. Check out the products offered by insurance companies. A good company should offer numerous life insurance products such as organization memberships and automatic drafts. You can also get multiple packages such as disability and life insurance from one company.
You should also be familiar with life insurance policy. Some companies offer clients a quote price for three months while others offer 6 months quote price. As you compare life insurance policies, consider choosing fixed premiums. These remain constant throughout the insurance policy thus you don't have to worry about paying additional costs on the premiums.
Some companies also return your premiums at the end of your policy if you don't use it. You can renew your insurance policy during the date of expiry. As you shop for life insurance policies, consider if the company offers a free look time. With this, you can change your mind even after getting the policy. The free look time usually ranges between a week and ten days.
After getting the policy, you should take steps to make sure that your policy is safe and current. Life insurance can help your beneficiaries get financial compensation in case of your demise. It can help them cover different costs such as an outstanding mortgage or debts. Therefore, start shopping for life insurance quotes today for the sake of your family.
A lot of people are torn between getting life insurance or not. This step is necessary if you have people depending on your financial support. Life insurance policy helps your beneficiaries get the death benefit if you die. Some people also use life insurance to build wealth and obtain tax-free investments. Sometimes, it is not a must for you to have dependents to get life insurance. It is better to buy it when you are still young since it gets costly with age.
You can take life insurance when you are young to protect your assets and build wealth. Some situations and stages in life also bring the need for life insurance. For instance, you may be getting married or purchasing your first home. When you are starting a family, you may need life insurance. The rates of getting coverage are cheaper at this stage than when you get older. If you are still young and single, you can also take life insurance to support your elderly parents or cover your funeral costs in case of a demise.
Homeowners are also required to get mortgage insurance. A life insurance policy at this stage can cover for the mortgage debt and prevent you from buying additional mortgage insurance. Life insurance secures your debts if you die. Check for online life insurance quotes and pick it if it offers reasonable terms.
If you need to leave your spouse in a good financial position after your demise, you can do this with the help of life insurance. Some types offer low costs such as term life insurance. Some people also acquire life insurance through their jobs. This is not sufficient, and you should get an individual insurance policy. You should not depend on it because you can lose the job or even change careers which can make you lose the life insurance policy.
Do not depend on your employer to cover your life insurance. Start buying a small life insurance policy to act as back up in case things don't go as expected. Your business obligations can also force you to get life insurance. You may have people depending on you such as a business partner. In this case, consider getting a separate policy.
You can also secure your investment by purchasing life insurance on parents. Put yourself as the beneficiary of the insurance policy as you continue paying the premiums. When your parents pass away, you can secure the amount of the policy. Taking this step when your parents are still young is a wise investment. Get long-term care for your parents to prevent them from falling ill. This can provide you with financial stability since health expenses can be quite costly.
Sometimes, life insurance can also be necessary for children even if they don't have dependents. If you have concerns regarding the long-term health of our child, you can buy life insurance. Other parents also consider taking life insurance for their kids to give them a head start in life. It can help them build savings from a young age.

Progress Update On WordPress Goldmine Earnings
I havent posted a progress update for a few weeks because there wasn't a whole amount of need. The past 6 weeks or so are basically when I have started full time at this. I am still earning but the more I learn the more I earn.
Back in April I earned £5.48 adsense in May I have earned £4.91 June so far its at £2.51 – it's good to know that things tend to follow a certain ongoing continual path and I'm happy to know that basically what I am doing is slowly building a passive income empire. I know some people scoff and laugh at the earnings but everyone has to start somewhere. Ive never claimed to be the fastest but I certainly understand the rules.
April was $7.04, May was $3.76 and June so far is just $0.54 – Not sure what to say on that, maybe Ive encountered competition for my sites, or maybe it's just fact that the income goes up and down – if I had 100 sites in my arsenal it could be arather different story.
April $0.00 May $0.00 June $0.00 (There was a sale which would have netted me $30 a month but it got refunded).
WordPress Goldmine Affiliate Sales:
April: $20.48 May $19.98 June to be reviewed at month end but should be 3 subscribers so around $28.
Other sales:
I am promoting other items too, one of which I should have sold 2 subscriptions earning me $20 on each so thats at $40 per month.
So, progress so far I am sitting somewhere in the region of
Adsense roughly $7
Amazon proposed $2
Clickbank ….
Other $40
So all in about $77 a month.
Woweee some of you may say, and wowee I say too but I don't care! Potentially thats $70 a month for life as long as I keep doing maintenance promotion.
Now Im working full time at this I am starting to see the fruits of my effort. Other people have had bigger successes and I congratulate them, but I am after all making progress udner my own steam, and it's a good feeling.
To date, I still only own 6 or 7 sites and havent done nearly enough on all of them and for a long time have been.
Plus, it's really only recently Ive been "getting it" and understanding the bigger picture.
Do you know… would it REALLY MATTER if it took me 5 years to reach a full time passive income? Some people would say thats not acceptable, but lets look another way.
Doctors study for 5-10 years, people in well paid professions study at university for 5 years without a guarantee of a job, plus when they retire, the money stops unles theyve got a brilliant pension. How good are pensions anyway these days?
Plus, they STILL have to go to work 40 hours a week when they are sick or ill and they still have to beg and plead like sick puppies for any time off, plus their bosses make them feel like crap day in day out.. no thanks…
Me, with ongoing maintenance, I can happily build this money up, and even one day pay outsourcers to take over 95% of the work leaving me to do what I want, when I want for the rest of my life.
If I want that £70,000 BMW I can have it.
Many people who have spent their WHOLE LIVES chasing their dreams get frustrated over and over and over each time they read stuff like this, because they are stressed that it's not working for them.
Can I be your helping hand? why not join me at WordPress Goldmine.
I'm happy to be the tortoise when other people are the hares. As long as I remain true to the path and keep putting one foot down in front of the other I will get there. It's not a race it's a marathon.
Other news:
Search engine results page positioning is increasing almost daily. This is the key – having more and more pages of content that show up in the SERPS. I have spent the past few weeks doing just that – adding content to my sites and bookmarrking the pages(as well as some other techniques you'll lear inside wpgm if you join).
One site I recently pushed, I targeted about 15 phrases – and wrote content for each phrase and 2 weeks later 90% of those phrases now show up on page 1 of Google.
I've also come to realise that all this time Ive been targetting keyword phrases with low search volume and low adsense earnings, so this is another factor that has influenced the overall earnings.

STOCKS NEWS Reuters Results diary Stocks on the move Real-time Equity News 1318GMT 09Oct12 - S.African miners buck weaker trend on bourse ----------------------------------------------------------------
South African mining stocks top the gainers' list on the benchmark index, helped by the rand's fall to near a 3-1/2 year low and by investors betting the sector has fallen to oversold levels from the recent spate of wildcat strikes.
The JSE mining index is up 0.36 percent, outpacing a slight decline
in the JSE All-share index , with Exxaro leading the gains with a 3.1 percent rise to 164.10 rand.
South Africa's remained near a 3-1/2 year low against the dollar on Tuesday due to weeks of labour unrest that have rattled investors in Africa's biggest economy.
"It has been over a decade since we have seen resources valued at these levels," Andrew Dittberner, Senior Investment Manager at Cannon Asset Managers.
"Although the short-term outlook for resources may be clouded by the current labour unrest, the struggling developed world and concerns around a Chinese slowdown, we believe that there are some opportunities opening up for investors in this sector."

Another concern is that the mom has developed bumps, like hives, on the right side of her udder. She still milks nicely and is eating well. I walk them in the snow and wonder if this could be an irritant, but why on half of the udder? The twins are separated from her at night and then i milk the next morning and the kids are with her during the day. Any ideas here? We're pretty much without a goat vet here in Fairbanks, AK. Thanks, Barb Rondine
Remember the quints born this summer ? I kept the two doelings and they are 6 months old now. For the past two weeks, or so, one of them has started mounting and vocalizing and nipping at the others and pesters them almost all the time. She developed a beard and shaggy eyebrows by four months and is very dominant.
Hi Deborah, I'm the new member going to see my vet today. I seem to have two accounts on The Goat Spot. I signed up in October 2015 but when I revisited the site a few days ago I was informed that I didn't have an account and needed to sign up (again). How do I delete the first account I set up in October??
Thanks Deborah!
I just found out yesterday that Nigerian Dwarf's made it to our shores, which I'm really excited about, so I'm here to learn everything I can before I get started.
Thank you for making this place, its awesome.
Happy new year :)
Dear Deborah,
I just purchased and read your new book titled, "Just Kidding". I have to say, as I read your book, tears streamed down my face as I remembered all of the times I too have had uncommon births, other goat related problems or deaths.
Your honesty about your emotions, your second guessing your self, talking to your self, wondering if you should have done any thing differently, feeling guilty, wanting to get rid of your animals to save your self heartache in the future, all these things hit home with me. I have had goats since 2007 and I can relate to all of those feelings.
I find it comforting to know that others share the same emotions, thoughts and feelings. and that I am not alone in my thought process or how I have felt in times of a crisis. I have never had any goat mentors or goat friends who lived close, but I have been severely blessed to find an awesome vet office who has two female vets who are two of the best vets I have had the pleasure of taking my animals too. Every time I bring an animal their they are so encouraging, uplifting and reassuring of my care for my animals. Having someone in a time of crisis or having someone to talk to is such a great help when it comes to animal care. Sometimes we all need a sounding board or just reassurance that we have done all we know to do.
Thank you for your new book. It was an honor to read. I an grateful for your honesty, insight and willingness to sit down and take the time to write so that others can be blessed by your experiences and words. Thank you.

Anandghan was a great Jain ascetic of 17th century. He lived mostly in Gujrat and Rajasthan and breathed his last at Merta city. He lived his ascetic life with spirituality and blessed many ones lives. He was also a great poet who wrote devotional songs and lyrics with great spiritual, cultural and literary values. Most of his literature is written in Pingal, a local type of old Hindi.
Inspired with virtues of Sri Anandghan ji Maharaj, Dr. Imre Banga, a Hungarian scholar and professor at Oxford university translated some of his lyrics into English language. Hungarian Information and Cultural Center has decided to release his book "Its city showman's show" on April 3, 2014. Sri Girdhar Rathi, renowned poet will be the Chief guest of the occasion whereas Jyoti Kothari will be the guest of honor. The Director, Hungarian Information and Cultural Center has invited all Jain people at their center at 1A, Janpath, New Delhi at 6 PM to attend the ceremony.
Dr. Imre Banga met me today and we have discussed several matters related to Anandghan. It is believed that this was his last but one birth and Anandghan is moving as omniscient in Mahavideha Kshetra at present. He will be liberated in this very birth from there.
