Why do American Girls like Bad Boys?
This is the one AW behavior I have never understood. AW seem to look for guys with no principles, no values, and no futures. They lust over their attitudes and their total disregard makes them swoon. But why?
In all of my experiences with foreign girls (which admittedly are limited compared to those of the other members of this site) I have never found this to be the case. In my dealings with women I try to behave like a gentleman. I am protective but not over-bearing, I have self-control but can also be spontaneous when appropriate, I am compassionate but not overly mushy, I hold my ground but I am open to suggestion. In life I have always worked hard, always been goal oriented, I never took the quick and easy path.
And yet, never did American girls find this attractive, they preffered the bad boys, the gangsters, the thugs, the the drug addicted rock musicians who would never make it out of their mom's basement. This is the one AW behavior I have never been able to understand, why they would choose degenerate children over mature adults.
Perhaps it doesn't matter, thus far I have had several good relationships with foreign girls: a down to earth Chilena, a sweet little Mexicana, and now a kind-hearted girl from Russia. They all noticed these good qualities in me and they all loved me for them. These girls loved me for the qualities that every AW overlooked in an instant. These AW don't want men, they want little boys, and I say let them. I don't care anymore, I don't need their approval.

Re: Why do American Girls like Bad Boys?
Women like bad boys for 3 reasons:
1. Bad boys are much more dynamic and exciting to be around due to their exploitative nature and always trying to be the center of attention. Good guys like us are usually intellectuals so we can have fun inside our heads which women consider boring because women are not as intelligent and they are highly motivated by how they feel.
2. Women drink and do drugs just like men, the difference is, young pretty girls have released that badboys are the ones who have the drugs and alcohol and that they can usually get it from them in exchange for sex or just being around. In other words, this is another reason why girls hang around bad guys; they provide drugs/alcohol for them free of charge.
3. Women like to nurture and try to change men, therefore, a bad boy offers a woman the opportunity to change a bad boy into a good guy.
Anyhow, later on in life (around 25-30) all the girls who were chasing around bad boys eventually change and go after the stable nice guy like yourself to secure their future and copy what their friends are doing (ie. getting married).
I have seen it happen. I know of a VERY pretty woman who was a solid whore in her younger days sleeping with random and married men for Cocaine and such. From ages of 16-25 all the guys she banged were thugs, shady dudes, or guys who treated her like crap; and she put up with it. One time (she told me this) she and some dude got high on some kind of drug and had sex for 10 hours straight in a hotel. Must have been yaba/E or something.
She loved the fast life, she loved how one of her badboys was into sport bikes and how she had a thrill going 120+ on the back of his bike, or how it was so scary (but fun!) when he would pop wheelies with her on the back as they went down the freeway.
Fast forward today, this girl is now about late 20s (still hot) and "turned a new leaf". She's now married to a guy who is a mangina to the CORE and I'm sure there is no way he knows of her past. They have a baby together too. He obviously takes good care of her as they live in a affluent area on the West Coast by the beach.
So you see, women in America got it good. They can f**k around from 15-25, then from 25-30 they can quickly find a sexually deprived sucker to secure their future. American women simply have no incentive to change.

Oh sure, some women wait longer (I know of one), but most of girls I have seen start looking to get married around 25-30.
They want men that are at the level of little boys so they can be the captain of the ship. There's no such thing as a co-captain of the ship. They want to be in control; they want it to be matriarchal.

American women are very narcissistic(assholes themselves), wealthy, use birth control and the law protects them which greatly influences their taste in men. A man that is less narcissistic than they are is viewed as being weak and thus a poor candidate for a boyfriend. American women have to surround themselves with men that are more masculine than they are in order to feel the slightest bit feminine which is really hard to do. Its normal for women to be reserved but this is not the case with American women they never shut up, there always running there mouth like Donald Trump.
In third world countries bad boys are seen as a high risk investments because they get women pregnant and then run off. A poor woman with a bunch of starving kids and no husband will really struggle to survive.
In most of Asia, the gangster, rapper with gold chains will only score with women in countries or cities where the women are both wealthy and arrogant. Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Shanghai and Hong Kong just to name a few.
I explained this in Male Mating Strategies.
Damn straight!
Wielding the blade of evil's bane, he sealed the dark one away and gave the land light. This man, who traveled through time to save the land, was known as the Hero of Men. The man's tale was passed down through generations until it became legend...
This reminds me of a quote from Venus in Furs "Woman, as nature has created her, and man at.... She can only be his slave or his despot, but never his companion.

How do I get a divorce?
How do you get a divorce? We explain in a step-by-step guide what the divorce procedure entails.Read more
The law that governs financial settlements on divorce is a law of discretion. There are no rules which state how the assets should be divided, if spousal maintenance should be paid and if so how much should be paid and for how long. The law does however contain guidelines regarding what a judge should consider when deciding what an appropriate financial settlement is. These guidelines are contained in section 25 Matrimonial Causes Act 1973. These are often referred to as the section 25 factors.
"There are no rules which state how the assets should be divided, if spousal maintenance should be paid and if so how much should be paid and for how long."
Fiona Wood, partner
All these factors are equally important. However, once they have been considered, the judge must also consider the couples' needs and those of their children. But "need" is an elastic concept - at a basic level, need is having somewhere to live, and money to live on. The section 25 factors will govern how the judge interprets need in each case.
While it would be great if a solicitor could tell their client precisely the financial settlement they will get if they divorce, the number of factors that a judge has to take into account, and the discretion that they have when doing this, means this is not possible. An experienced family lawyer will, however, be able to tell you the likely settlement, and give you a range of outcomes.
As a result of this law, if you put the same set of facts before several different judges, each of them may order a different settlement, although the outcomes should be within a range and not differ dramatically. This is why many spouses prefer to negotiate a financial settlement, giving them certainty, rather than have a judge decide their fate, the outcome of which is unpredictable.

Our Work
The Village Collective is made up of 3 'fale' (houses or collectives).
Each fale represents an area of expertise and requires a different set of resources.
Rainbow Fale
Rainbow is a term used to represent the LGBTQI community (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transsexual Queer and Intersex).
We also acknowledge that this term excludes our Pacific community of Fa'afafine (Samoan), Fakaleiti (Tongan), Whakawahine/takatapui/tangata ira tane (Maori), 'Akava'ine (Cook Island) Drodrolagi (Fijian) Mahu (Hawaiian).
Pacific Rainbow Youth often face challenges relating to family and peers, acceptance, as well as a lack of cultural understanding from non-Pacific. They experience harassment, discrimination and bullying, and often struggle with finding their own identity and the ability to be confident in their own skin.
Our Rainbow Fale represents all the work we do that contributes to building a supportive environment for the Pasifika Rainbow community. We provide a safe place for the development of resilience strategies, which leads to a greater confidence in school, family and community settings for our Rainbow youth.
We provide support for rainbow youth through our Fusion Mentor Programme, Diversity Groups and LGBTQI events.
Talavou Fale
Our Talavou Fale is proud to support the younger members of our community to ensure that they are educated on sexual health and well being, in order to prepare them for their teenage and adult years.
We offer the 'Watch me Kapow' programme to Primary, Intermediate and Secondary school students.
While students may not yet be at the age of consent, KAPOW teaches personal and interpersonal skills as well as providing knowledge on sexual development to prepare them for upcoming changes in their bodies and lives.
Our programme supports the Ministry of Education School Sexuality curriculum.
Some of the schools we partner with to deliver KAPOW include:
Community Fale
Our Community Fale is all about creating an environment for Pacific people to have the confidence to speak freely and feel supported. We collaborate with community and external agencies to deliver our customised programmes.
We support our community through:
Ongoing mentoring for professionals supporting Pacific youth
Encouraging new sexual health and wellbeing initiatives
Participating in community events
Ongoing work with community groups and businesses to develop and strengthen attitudes and ideals around sexual health
Organisations we have worked with include
Health Promotion Agency – Y Tribe (alcohol campaign)
National Heart Foundation – #KickButt SPARK production (tobacco control campaign)
A.C.C (Accident Compensation Corporation) – Mates and Dates programme in high schools
Le Vā – White Ribbon Awareness Campaign (production piece)
Le Vā – GPS Conference – engaging youth (youth committee and conference presenters)
L'Oréal annual event – Face Your Future (programme for foster children)
Mangere East Family Services – Transitioning together programme
Raise Up youth programme – Mangere (collective of high school students from schools in Mangere)
Cut Above – Private training Establishment (16/18+)
Target Education – Alternative Education (16/18+)

Roleplaying is the art of telling a story together with other players. It can be done solo, but is usually done in groups of two or three, or more in the case of parties and weddings. Sometimes the story may be written in advance, but most roleplay is created in a very organic way, with the writers not knowing what is going to happen, and merely reacting to the events that other characters in that thread have written.
Roleplay in Renaissance Kingdoms is a popular activity, ranging from local town romances and parties up to grand battles and matters of international importance. There are many RP groups and guilds that are very willing to help the beginner, and a good start is to create a "house" thread in your home town and invite the locals round to visit. Also, if you read an RP thread in your town that you particularly enjoy, you could contact the writers and ask them for guidance, or even ask if you can join in. Many other RK organisations such as militas and Knighthoods also organise roleplay events for their members.
Marking RP ThreadsEdit
Roleplay threads are usually marked to give some idea of content. [RP] is a general RP thread, and it can sometimes have a parallel [OOC] thread for out of character comments and discussion. [ORP] is an open RP, where people are allowed to write themselves in as they see fit (any thread just marked RP is assumed to be ORP), while [CRP] is a closed RP, which is invite-only.
[FRP] is a fantasy RP. These are now usually confined to the Weald. In normal RK RP, some "magic" is allowed, but only that which could realistically be done. For example, if a character were to make something disappear by thinking about it, "Harry Potter" style, that is FRP. If she were to make something disappear by sleight of hand, that is normal RP. If a God were to appear before her and the whole town saw it, that would be FRP. If a God were to appear before her and it was merely a hallucination of hers, that would be normal RP. She can believe that she has had a divine visitation – people of the 1400s were very superstitious – but it can't be "real". So, any superhuman powers are not allowed. But conjuring, flash powder, for example, are allowed. Having visions and dreams are allowed. Even "telling the future" is allowed, because the writer can make it so that the future actually happens that way. The sceptic could say it was "just a coincidence".
Godmodding and WyrmingEdit
These are considered very poor and impolite RP, and should be avoided. Beginners are given some leeway, but are encouraged to lose these bad habits as soon as possible if they wish to take part in more involved RP in the future.
Godmodding is forcing other characters to do something against their will. If a character were to throw a custard pie at another and say "it hits him splat in the face", that is godmodding. The first character has, through their post, not given the second a chance to choose his fate.
To avoid godmodding, what should be done is something like: "I threw a custard pie at him, it was heading straight for his face…" and he then has the choice of taking it or ducking. Each character should have the chance to choose their own fate. This makes fights difficult of course, unless the outcome is decided in advance by agreement or some kind of randomisation.
In the case of someone needing to godmod, for example when kidnapping another character, permission should be sought, and it is a good idea to make an OOC comment at the bottom to say that permission to godmod has been given.
Wyrming is when your character acts on things they can't possibly know about. For example, if someone whispers to someone else in the same room, a character could RP that they overheard the conversation. If, however, the information was passed by a sealed letter, that character can't RP based on the contents of the letter, because the character has no way of knowing what's in that letter.
This, as its name suggests, is hijacking of a thread, and is basically an extreme form of godmodding. An example would be if a thread that was clearly a wedding was suddenly overrun by bandits. Complaints about threadjacking should be directed to a local censor, who will then review the thread and remove any posts considered to be excessive godmodding. The person who started the thread is usually the one held to have the "editorial control". Bear in mind that permission to godmod may have been given; it may be a plot twist that was planned all along.
Some RPs, for example a Grand Ball, may take many weeks or even months to write, but only refer to the events of a few hours or days. This can cause difficulties for players who then have to reconcile subsequent events in their personal timelines, and will sometimes write OOC comments at the bottom of a post to say where they are in their personal timeline, for example "(OOC This is before my wedding but after my father's kidnapping)".
Examples of this might be if a character is courting another at a dance, and the writing of the dance thread goes on for some time. If in their personal futures they are to split up, one character may have to write themselves out, or they may have to carry on writing for the duration of the dance RP as if they were still together. It is possible for a character to be writing two events months apart in their personal timeline simultaneously.
This can mean that RP's in the "future" of the RP may have to change to take into account things that happen as the first RP is taking place. A person could be writing about another character saying they had never met, and then in the "past" RP if that character is to arrive, then the "future" RP would have to be changed to take that into account. Editing should be done only if necessary; it is much better to RP these things in, for example "Oh, wait, I remember him! I met him at the Ball two months ago...".
This of course can cause difficulties, and prominent roleplayers have to be very clear about where each thread happens in their personal timeline, and may have to request other characters to edit appropriately. People writing a complicated RP together will often discuss plot changes and timeshifts off-forum to minimise problems.
This is the resurrection of threads that have been dormant for a long time. It is usually not advisable, as it can cause timeshift problems, but there are cases where threadomancy is acceptable. For example, if a character is away from town for a long time and then returns, they may of course start posting in their house thread again. It is usually a good idea to "draw a line" under previous posts by writing something like "Some months later" or "After the quest was over" to make the difference in times clearer.

The Forsaken Merman
Come, dear children, let us away;
Down and away below!
Now my brothers call from the bay,
Now the great winds shoreward blow,
Now the salt tides seaward flow;
Now the wild white horses play,
Champ and chafe and toss in the spray.
Children dear, let us away!
This way, this way!
Call her once before you go--
Call once yet!
In a voice that she will know:
'Margaret! Margaret!'
Children's voices should be dear
(Call once more) to a mother's ear;
Children's voices, wild with pain--
Surely she will come again!
Call her once and come away;
This way, this way!
'Mother dear, we cannot stay!
The wild white horses foam and fret.'
Margaret! Margaret!
Come, dear children, come away down;
Call no more!
One last look at the white-wall'd town
And the little grey church on the windy shore,
Then come down!
She will not come though you call all day;
Come away, come away!
Children dear, was it yesterday
We heard the sweet bells over the bay?
In the caverns where we lay,
Through the surf and through the swell,
The far-off sound of a silver bell?
Sand-strewn caverns, cool and deep,
Where the winds are all asleep;
Where the spent lights quiver and gleam,
Where the salt weed sways in the stream,
Where the sea-beasts, ranged all round,
Feed in the ooze of their pasture-ground;
Where the sea-snakes coil and twine,
Dry their mail and bask in the brine;
Where great whales come sailing by,
Sail and sail, with unshut eye,
Round the world for ever and aye?
When did music come this way?
Children dear, was it yesterday?
Children dear, was it yesterday
(Call yet once) that she went away?
Once she sate with you and me,
On a red gold throne in the heart of the sea,
And the youngest sate on her knee.
She comb'd its bright hair, and she tended it well,
When down swung the sound of a far-off bell.
She sigh'd, she look'd up through the clear green sea;
She said: 'I must go, to} my kinsfolk pray
In the little grey church on the shore to-day.
'T#will be Easter-time in the world--ah me!
And I lose my poor soul, Merman! here with thee.'
I said: 'Go up, dear heart, through the waves;
Say thy prayer, and come back to the kind sea-caves!'
She smiled, she went up through the surf in the bay.
Children dear, was it yesterday?
Children dear, were we long alone?
'The sea grows stormy, the little ones moan;
Long prayers,' I said, 'in the world they say;
Come!' I said; and we rose through the surf in the bay.
We went up the beach, by the sandy down
Where the sea-stocks bloom, to the white-wall'd town;
Through the narrow paved streets, where all was still,
To the little grey church on the windy hill.
From the church came a murmur of folk at their prayers,
But we stood without in the cold blowing airs.
We climb'd on the graves, on the stones worn with rains,
And we gazed up the aisle through the small leaded panes.
She sate by the pillar; we saw her clear:
'Margaret, hist! come quick, we are here!
Dear heart,' I said, 'we are long alone;
The sea grows stormy, the little ones moan.'
But, ah, she gave me never a look,
For her eyes were seal'd to the holy book!
Loud prays the priest; shut stands the door.
Come away, children, call no more!
Come away, come down, call no more!
Down, down, down!
Down to the depths of the sea!
She sits at her wheel in the humming town,
Singing most joyfully.
Hark what she sings: 'O joy, O joy,
For the humming street, and the child with its toy!
For the priest, and the bell, and the holy well;
For the wheel where I spun,
And the blessed light of the sun!'
And so she sings her fill,
Singing most joyfully,
Till the spindle drops from her hand,
And the whizzing wheel stands still.
She steals to the window, and looks at the sand,
And over the sand at the sea;
And her eyes are set in a stare;
And anon there breaks a sigh,
And anon there drops a tear,
From a sorrow-clouded eye,
And a heart sorrow-laden,
A long, long sigh;
For the cold strange eyes of a little Mermaiden
And the gleam of her golden hair.
Come away, away children
Come children, come down!
The hoarse wind blows coldly;
Lights shine in the town.
She will start from her slumber
When gusts shake the door;
She will hear the winds howling,
Will hear the waves roar.
We shall see, while above us
The waves roar and whirl,
A ceiling of amber,
A pavement of pearl.
Singing: 'Here came a mortal,
But faithless was she!
And alone dwell for ev

The USA is a great destination for students who wish to pursue their higher education. There is an immense scope of opportunities no matter what you decide to major in. You will have access to state of the art technology in colleges and they are known for having a good balance between social and academic life. Considering the number of students who travel to America for higher education, your campus will be a melting pot of different cultures.
Let's break down the college application process into different aspects
Intakes For College Applicants:
There are generally two intakes during a given year – Fall and Spring. They denote the respective seasons in the USA.
Fall intake happens during late August/ early September and attracts the most number of students. Spring intake is in January/ February.
Application deadlines for Fall: December to March
Application deadlines for Spring: May to September
The individual deadline is specific to the university. It's important to check your prospective university website to find the actual deadline for the given intake.
Academic Tests
The academic tests or entrance exams you need to give depends on whether you are going for undergrad or graduate studies. All international applicants are supposed to give TOEFL exams to prove that you have the necessary English level skills to succeed at their institution.
Undergraduate Entrance Tests: SAT
Graduate (Non-MBA): GRE
Graduate (MBA): GMAT
These exams are competitive and are one of the most crucial aspects of the application. The higher the rank of the college, the higher the cut off scores are for these exams. Spend ample time studying for these exams and perhaps go for their respective coaching for any extra help that you may require.
Check out this list of top 10 universities to strongly consider if your GRE score is between 320 and 340.
Admissions Essay/ Personal Statement/ Statement Of Purpose
All universities require you to write a personal statement or application essay. It is one of the most important aspects of the application. The personal statement provides you with the opportunity to make your case to the selection committee. You will have a chance to talk about:
- What drives you? What are your ambitions?
- What's your background?
- Why do you want to pursue your major? Why are you passionate about it?
- What sets you apart from others?
- Why do you want to go to the specific college?
- Any extracurricular activities you
This essay is usually supposed to be 1 page to 1.5 pages long. As the name suggests, this essay is supposed to be "personal". So, don't be afraid to make it your own.
Documentation Checklist For College Applications
- Statement of purpose
- TOEFL Scores
- Standardized test scores (GRE/ GMAT/ SAT)
- College application form (if not filled online)
- Copy of passport
- Academic transcripts (Sealed predicted scores from your school if your grade 12 scores are not out yet).
- Proof of funds
- Recommendation letters from teachers/ work colleagues
- Resume (if you have work experience. Specifically for Post-Graduate students)
- Any other supporting documents – certificates for extracurricular activities
Early Decision vs Early Action College Applications
As mentioned above, most universities have application deadlines well into March for Fall applications and September for Spring. These are called regular applications. There is also Early Decision and Early Action that you can consider for your applications. Let's look into both:
Early Decision:
You can ONLY apply to one university for early decision for a given intake (fall or spring). Early Decision is a legally binding process whereby if you get admitted into the university of choice, you must drop all other applications and attend the university. This is a great way to stand out as you are showing the selection committee about how committed you are to the chosen university. Early decision is usually in November for Fall applicants and you will usually get the response by December.
Early Action:
Early Action allows you to apply to universities earlier than regular rounds and get to know their decision sooner. In case, you didn't get into your top choice schools, you know where you stand and can apply to other schools as "back-up" during the regular application rounds. Unlike Early Decision, if you get accepted in Early Action, you are not legally bound to go to the specific college. This is a great opportunity for students to apply to the top schools but you need to ensure your application is complete prior to applying. Similarly to Early Decision, the Early Action deadlines are in November for fall applications with the decision out in December.

text: There are tons of eucalyptus trees in the world. In Australia alone, the Eucalyptus genus makes up almost 75 percent of the total number of plant species! Some people call them "fever trees" because of their medicinal properties. Cough drops and other products used to help relieve chest congestion often contain eucalyptus oil. One species, the eucalyptus citriodora, is used more commonly in perfumes. This species has a lemon scent and mixes well with bergamot and lavender. Because eucalyptus oil is so potent, you don't need to use very much of it when creating a perfume -- making the oil a cost-effective and common ingredient.

He's scored almost 100 goals in two-and-a-half seasons but hot property Lawrence Shankland feels he is only getting started.
The Dundee United hitman has notched 91 times since the start of the 2017/18 season for Ayr, the Tangerines and Scotland but Shanks insists he is yet to hit his peak.
With those strikes coming in just 104 appearances, it is a remarkable statistic.
However, the 24-year-old believes we won't see the best of him for another four or five years still.
Since leaving the Honest Men last summer, the international feels he has developed on Tayside but feels there is more to come.
To listen to the Tele's football podcast – Twa Teams One Street – download from Apple Podcasts or Spotify, or head to thetele.co.uk
"You could say that I've developed but, for me, to be honest, I just kept playing," he said.
"Nothing's really changed for me.
"I'm going out and playing for maybe a slightly better team than Ayr, no disrespect to the boys there because they were all brilliant in that squad.
"I think the amount of goals I've scored have probably showed I've improved a wee bit this season but I wouldn't get too caught up in it.
"I don't want to be disrespectful to my previous clubs and manager but it's been going well.
"Strikers usually peak between 27 and 29 so, hopefully, I've still got four years after my next birthday before I hit my prime!
"All I can do is keep working hard and see where that takes me.
"I don't want to get too caught up in it so it's just about carrying on and progressing as much as I can.
"Hopefully, when I do that, I keep scoring goals for Dundee United as well."
As for targets for a final tally, Shankland is remaining pragmatic as his first chance to build on his 28 goals this season presents itself down at Alloa tonight.
He added: "I've not set myself any targets up until now so I'll just keep going out there and look to get as many as I can.
"We'll see where I end up come the end of the season but, hopefully, it's a good few more than what I've got now."
As for the speculation linking him with a move away from the Championship leaders last month, Shanks insists he remained unmoved by the constant speculation and rumours.
"To be fair, it wasn't annoying me," he explained.
"I knew I wasn't going anywhere, I knew what the script was and just needed to let everyone do their talking and let it pass.
"For me, it wasn't a problem. I was focused and still scoring goals.
"Nobody could say I'd lost focus and we just want to get back at it at Alloa.
"Coming off the back of a draw and a defeat, we want to put that right but we were 13 games unbeaten.
"I don't think we've got too down about it. You're going to get beat, it's part and parcel of the season.
PODCAST: Twa Teams, One Street – Dundee emerge from the ashes and why Lawrence Shankland is just getting started
"It's just important we bounce back as quickly as we can and, hopefully, we get that win tonight.
"It's important we go on a run again. We went 13 unbeaten and, if we do that again, we'll be where we want to be at the end of the season.
"That's the main objective for the boys – keep picking up three points as much as we can and see where it takes us."
And Shankland hopes that is to securing the title and promotion to the Premiership.
"That's why I came here, to play a part in this team and club getting back to the Premiership.
"That was my objective when I came in and nothing's changed.
"We've got ourselves into a good position in the standings and we just look to go and carry that on now and finish off the season as well as we can."


text: Atom is taking over. Well, eventually, some rough edges so far. The new Microsoft is interesting at least. I presume the answer to "Can we port Visual Studio to something other than Windows?" was "Wha? Err, no.". > Based around Github's Electron, a cross-platform version of its Atom code-editing component based on JavaScript and HTML5 http://www.pcpro.co.uk/cloud-computing/1000709/what-is-visual-studio-code-and-why-microsoft-has-made-it-free What is Visual Studio Code and why Microsoft has made it free Cloud Computing Simon Bisson 29 Apr 2015 Microsoft launched Code for Mac OS, Linux and Windows at Build 2015 Adding a new member to its Visual Studio IDE family, Microsoft today launched Visual Studio Code. Based around Github's Electron, a cross-platform version of its Atom code-editing component based on JavaScript and HTML5, Code is a fully featured IDE for developers working with Microsoft's open cloud technologies – with versions for Mac OS, Linux and Windows. A free download, Code downloads and installs quickly. I had it running on Windows and Mac OS within minutes of the download being released. It's a very early release, but already includes code highlighting and code-completion features. Demonstrated by Scott Hanselman on stage at Build 2015, Code uses open source .NET tooling to provide support for ASP.NET C# code, building on the Roslyn compiler and the Omnisharp .NET developer tools. As well as demonstrating the Mac version, Hansleman showed Code running on Ubuntu – working with .NET code running on the recently released .NET Core release developed in conjunction with the Mono open source .NET project. Code is designed to work with your existing tools. Microsoft provides documentation for working with ASP.NET 5, node.js, and Microsoft's own TypeScript, as well as tools that can be used to help build and manage node.js applications. With Microsoft aiming to encourage developers to build micro-service apps on its Azure platform, Visual Studio Code is being initially targeted at JavaScript developers who want a fully-fledged development tool for their server-side scripting and who might be tempted to go beyond node.js to .NET-based frameworks. With startups and enterprises shifting to using microservices, a free cross-platform developer tool makes a lot of sense for Microsoft. It makes it easier for developers working on Android and iOS applications to use Azure as a back-end, and helps bring their attention to both Azure App Services and Azure Fabric Services. sdw

In the early 21st century, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) pursued the seizure of domain names, based on the legal theory that domain names constitute property used to engage in criminal activity, and thus are subject to forfeiture. For example, in the seizure of the domain name of a gambling website, the DOJ referenced 18 U.S.C. § 981 and 18 U.S.C. § 1955(d).[29][1] In 2013 the US government seized Liberty Reserve, citing 18 U.S.C. § 982(a)(1).[30]
How much will you make? I think my best month with Google AdSense was almost $5,000 over the last ten years. That amazing month blew my mind since it was actually near the beginning of my blogging journey. When you go from making zero to $5,000 in a month, that will rock your world. For me, it also got me even more excited because I knew there were other ways to monetize.

Despite its older origins, email marketing is still a viable source of affiliate marketing income. Some affiliates have email lists they can use to promote the seller's products. Others may leverage email newsletters that include hyperlinks to products, earning a commission after the consumer purchases the product. Another method is for the affiliate to build an email list over time. They use their various campaigns to collect emails en masse, then send out emails regarding the products they are promoting.

PeerFly only has a limited number of products at the moment, but they have tremendous momentum and are growing by leaps and bounds. Their payout rates aren't spectacular, but everything is upfront and transparent, and affiliate satisfaction is very high. PeerFly is perfect for authentic marketers who want to offer high-quality products to their visitors as opposed to "get rich quick" schemes and opaque offers.

Tutor students. Many families prefer the flexibility of using an online tutor. Depending on your background, you could be simply helping a child with homework or providing college-level support. You need to have your own computer and high speed internet. Experience required differs among companies. Some require "strong experience," while others require a specific educational background. However, most companies do require a college degree.
Affiliate marketing has grown quickly since its inception. The e-commerce website, viewed as a marketing toy in the early days of the Internet, became an integrated part of the overall business plan and in some cases grew to a bigger business than the existing offline business. According to one report, the total sales amount generated through affiliate networks in 2006 was £2.16 billion in the United Kingdom alone. The estimates were £1.35 billion in sales in 2005.[19] MarketingSherpa's research team estimated that, in 2006, affiliates worldwide earned US$6.5 billion in bounty and commissions from a variety of sources in retail, personal finance, gaming and gambling, travel, telecom, education, publishing, and forms of lead generation other than contextual advertising programs.[20]
Cost per click was more common in the early days of affiliate marketing but has diminished in use over time due to click fraud issues very similar to the click fraud issues modern search engines are facing today. Contextual advertising programs are not considered in the statistic pertaining to the diminished use of cost per click, as it is uncertain if contextual advertising can be considered affiliate marketing.
Flexoffers is another huge affiliate marketing network. They pay you (the affiliate) a lot faster than others in the industry. It has more than 10 years of experience in the field. While they do not offer anything that is neither groundbreaking nor revolutionary, they do provide a solid array of tools and features that will surely aid you in your campaigns. In addition to the fast payouts, Flexoffers lets you choose from thousands of affiliate programs to promote, offers various content delivery formats, and more.
To engage customers retailers have shifted from the linear marketing approach of one-way communication to a value exchange model of mutual dialogue and benefit-sharing between provider and consumer.[23] Exchanges are more non-linear, free flowing, and both one-to-many or one-on-one.[7] The spread of information and awareness can occur across numerous channels, such as the blogosphere, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest, and a variety of other platforms. Online communities and social networks allow individuals to easily create content and publicly publish their opinions, experiences, and thoughts and feelings about many topics and products, hyper-accelerating the diffusion of information.[24]
Publishers can offer advertisers the ability to reach customizable and narrow market segments for targeted advertising. Online advertising may use geo-targeting to display relevant advertisements to the user's geography. Advertisers can customize each individual ad to a particular user based on the user's previous preferences.[30] Advertisers can also track whether a visitor has already seen a particular ad in order to reduce unwanted repetitious exposures and provide adequate time gaps between exposures.[77]
It is important for a firm to reach out to consumers and create a two-way communication model, as digital marketing allows consumers to give back feed back to the firm on a community based site or straight directly to the firm via email.[26] Firms should seek this long term communication relationship by using multiple forms of channels and using promotional strategies related to their target consumer as well as word-of mouth marketing.[26]

Too much too soon. Stick to one website to begin with. Don't get distracted by shiny new niches. This will only dilute your efforts. It's absolutely not a waste of time to spend hours on end researching the very best niche for you to enter into. The commission, cookies, product and even the advertiser's website all have to be excellent. The last thing you want to do is invest money in creating your own site only to send visitors to an advertiser's site that barely converts a single sale. Would you buy from the advertiser's site? Question everything before you spend a single penny on building your new site.
If you're new to internet marketing and wish to get online as quickly and inexpensively as possible you can start with a social media platform like Facebook - you can create a business Facebook page in less than an hour. However, if you want more control over your online presence, a customized website is more appropriate. Ideally you should have both a website and a social media presence, with each linking to the other.

In the first quarter of 2015, 294 million domain names had been registered.[17] A large fraction of them are in the com TLD, which as of December 21, 2014, had 115.6 million domain names,[18] including 11.9 million online business and e-commerce sites, 4.3 million entertainment sites, 3.1 million finance related sites, and 1.8 million sports sites.[19] As of July 2012 the com TLD had more registrations than all of the ccTLDs combined.[20]
Although it has a dynamic and well-designed website, PeerFly has a limited range of offers at any given time (around 8,000). On the upside, it does offer good commission/payout rates, lots of FAQs and educational information, and regular contests and reward programs that can substantially increase your bottom line. Based on online customer reviews, Peerfly enjoys a very high reputation amongst participating affiliates.
Internet marketing, or online marketing, refers to advertising and marketing efforts that use the Web and email to drive direct sales via electronic commerce, in addition to sales leads from websites or emails. Internet marketing and online advertising efforts are typically used in conjunction with traditional types of advertising such as radio, television, newspapers and magazines.
Now, making money online should seem like a pleasurable activity. Why wouldn't we do just about anything to see things through, since it would be a major source of pleasure, right? Wrong. In the beginning, like anything else, we might get really excited about it. We might also set our hopes very high. But that all comes crashing down when we begin to fail.
Domain names serve to identify Internet resources, such as computers, networks, and services, with a text-based label that is easier to memorize than the numerical addresses used in the Internet protocols. A domain name may represent entire collections of such resources or individual instances. Individual Internet host computers use domain names as host identifiers, also called host names. The term host name is also used for the leaf labels in the domain name system, usually without further subordinate domain name space. Host names appear as a component in Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) for Internet resources such as web sites (e.g., en.wikipedia.org).

Search engine marketing, or SEM, is designed to increase a website's visibility in search engine results pages (SERPs). Search engines provide sponsored results and organic (non-sponsored) results based on a web searcher's query.[21]:117 Search engines often employ visual cues to differentiate sponsored results from organic results. Search engine marketing includes all of an advertiser's actions to make a website's listing more prominent for topical keywords. The primary reason behind the rising popularity of Search Engine Marketing has been Google. There were a few companies that had its own PPC and Analytics tools. However, this concept was popularized by Google. Google Ad words was convenient for the advertisers to use and create campaigns. And, they realized that the tool did a fair job, by charging only for someone's click on the ad, which reported as the cost-per-click for which a penny was charged. This resulted in the advertisers monitoring the campaign by the number of clicks and were satisfied that the ads could be tracked.[54]

Finally, it's critical you spend time and resources on your business's website design. When these aforementioned customers find your website, they'll likely feel deterred from trusting your brand and purchasing your product if they find your site confusing or unhelpful. For this reason, it's important you take the time to create a user-friendly (and mobile-friendly) website.
Content marketing is more than just blogging. When executed correctly, content including articles, guides (like this one), webinars, and videos can be powerful growth drivers for your business. Focus on building trust and producing amazing quality. And most of all, make sure that you're capturing the right metrics. Create content to generate ROI. Measure the right results. This guide will teach you how. Get Started
GoTo.com (renamed Overture in 2001, and acquired by Yahoo! in 2003) created the first search advertising keyword auction in 1998.[21]:119 Google launched its "AdWords" search advertising program in 2000[22] and introduced quality-based ranking allocation in 2002,[23] which sorts search advertisements by a combination of bid price and searchers' likeliness to click on the ads.[21]:123
LinkConnector is something of a mixed bag, so it's probably best for experienced affiliates who have become disillusioned with other networks and are looking to expand. LinkConnector's bizarre mix of high-quality products and a low-quality dashboard make it hard to truly assess its viability, but their exclusive deals with some vendors can make it a true home run for publishers working in certain niches.
The phrase, "Affiliates are an extended sales force for your business", which is often used to explain affiliate marketing, is not completely accurate. The primary difference between the two is that affiliate marketers provide little if any influence on a possible prospect in the conversion process once that prospect is directed to the advertiser's website. The sales team of the advertiser, however, does have the control and influence up to the point where the prospect either a) signs the contract, or b) completes the purchase.

Because users have different operating systems, web browsers[89] and computer hardware (including mobile devices and different screen sizes), online ads may appear to users differently from how the advertiser intended, or the ads may not display properly at all. A 2012 comScore study revealed that, on average, 31% of ads were not "in-view" when rendered, meaning they never had an opportunity to be seen.[90] Rich media ads create even greater compatibility problems, as some developers may use competing (and exclusive) software to render the ads (see e.g. Comparison of HTML 5 and Flash).

File-Sharing: Web sites that host directories of music, movies, games and other software. Users upload content to file-hosting sites and then post descriptions of the material and their download links on directory sites. Uploaders are paid by the file-hosting sites based on the number of times their files are downloaded. The file-hosting sites sell premium download access to the files to the general public. The websites that host the directory services sell advertising and do not host the files themselves.
In November 1994, CDNow launched its BuyWeb program. CDNow had the idea that music-oriented websites could review or list albums on their pages that their visitors might be interested in purchasing. These websites could also offer a link that would take visitors directly to CDNow to purchase the albums. The idea for remote purchasing originally arose from conversations with music label Geffen Records in the fall of 1994. The management at Geffen wanted to sell its artists' CD's directly from its website but did not want to implement this capability itself. Geffen asked CDNow if it could design a program where CDNow would handle the order fulfillment. Geffen realized that CDNow could link directly from the artist on its website to Geffen's website, bypassing the CDNow home page and going directly to an artist's music page.[13]

Lyme artists' pastel painting demo
PUBLISHED: 15:00 06 February 2020
Lyme Regis Art Society enjoyed a demonstration of pastel painting by Rebecca De Mendoca, whose pictures of animals, landscapes and people are widely acclaimed.
Growing up with praise from her art teacher mother and criticism from her architect father, Rebecca learned the value of both.
She advises beginners to start simply drawing fruit forms before trying harder subjects - and to draw what excites them.
She painted an image of her daughter on a beach, using Unison pastels together with conte, charcoal and polychromos pencils for very fine work, on mountboard primed with Colourfix Original Primer to give the rough surface needed for pastel work.
Lyme Regis Art Society meets on alternate Tuesdays in The Woodmead Halls from 2pm to 4pm until the end of March.
The next demonstration, 'Surprise in Oil', will be on February 18 with Phil Clayton. Visitors and new members are always welcome.

Laura Pousa Participates in 37th Annual Contemporary Iberian Studies Association Conference
Laura Pousa, a lecturer in the UIC Barcelona Audiovisual Communication programme, participated in the 37th Annual Conference of the Association for Contemporary Iberian Studies from Wednesday to Friday, 2-4 September 2015.
The conference was organized by the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid with the cooperation of the University of Westminster and the University of Roehampton. Pousa coordinated the panel discussion "Exploring Meeting Points: Audiovisual Relations between Spain and Portugal", in which three different perspectives were presented to explore meeting points at different times in the recent cinematographic history of the two countries.
She also read the paper "The Franco and Salazar Regimes on Prime Time: Cuéntame cómo pasó and Conta-me como foi". In September 2001, the Spanish public television channel TVE premièred Cuéntame cómo pasó (Tell Me How It Happened), a fictional series featuring the Alcántara family that describes life in Spain during the final years of Franco's regime. Conceived as popular historical fiction for all audiences, its immediate success led to the consolidation on prime time of a story dramatically defined by the Spanish dictatorial context. Despite its apparent specific historical context, the series also attracted international attention. In April 2007, the Portuguese public television channel RTP premièred the Portuguese adaptation, Conta-me como foi, with the Lopes family as the fictional characters used to recreate the final years of the Salazar regime. In addition to revealing plot and documentary parallelisms and interchange, an analysis of the two shows can steer us towards shared historical moments (such as the handling of the Carnation Revolution) and the search for places in which the stories intersect to help understand how to go about building a memory in audiovisual format for television that has meaning in both Spain and Portugal.
The Association for Contemporary Iberian Studies (ACIS) was founded in 1978 and holds an annual three-day conference to discuss topics such as politics, economics, geography, regional identities, international relations, feminism, media analysis, television, cinema, languages and teaching methods. The conference was attended by academics working in different disciplines who have shared concerns about the development of these areas in Spain and Portugal.
About Laura Pousa
Laura Pousa is a lecturer in the Audiovisual Communication degree programme and has had a chequered career as a scriptwriter for TV series, including more than five years as a writer for Cuéntame cómo pasó, which is broadcast on the Spanish public television channel TVE. Pousa has a PhD in the History of Cinema and has taught subjects on audiovisual programmes at public universities. She has also published academic texts.
Laura Pousa directed the short film Meine Liebe with Ricardo Steinberg. The film was nominated for the 2012 Goya Award for Best Short Film and won the Abbas Kiarostami Film Seminar award.
La memoria televisada: «Cuéntame cómo pasó» is her first book.

Study Finds Some Kids Spending More Time Gaming
Posted on October 16, 2007GameSpot reports that a new study from the NPD Group found that 1/3 of kids are spending more time playing games than they did a year ago. Does that mean the other 2/3rds are spending about the same amount of time gaming as last year or less time?
Of the nearly 3,500 children between the ages of 2 and 17 that the NPD surveyed, one-third responded that they are spending more time playing games than they did a year ago. As of press time, an NPD representative had not returned GameSpot's request for comment on how the habits of the remaining two-thirds had changed.Kids in the 12-17 year range spend about ten hours each week playing video games according to the study. A press release about the study can be found here on the NPD Group's website.
The report also found that PCs are the primary gaming platform for kids, with children starting to game on the system at age 6, and continuing through the age of 17, the longest stretch of time of any gaming system measured. According to the NPD, the "gaming lifecycle" begins with kid-focused systems.
As boys get older, they migrate to plug-and-play TV games, then previous-generation consoles and handhelds. At age 10, they move to cell-phone gaming and the current crop of systems from Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft. On the other hand, girls tend to leave gaming behind as they get older.
NPD Group analyst Anita Frazier said in a statement that the switch from casual to core gamer happens between the ages of 6 and 8, which suggests that this span of time is "a critical age at which to capture the future gamers of the world."

Creating Signs
Creating faded painted text.
This is page 4 of 4.
Page 1: General overview and introduction.
Page 2: Creating a wall mounted billboard.
Page 3: Creating a roof top marque.
Page 4: Creating faded painted text.
This is the faded paint sign we are going to make.
The 1/2" vinyl letters were from an office supply store and cost under $5.00.
I masked off the area for the letters. As the letters were 1/2" tall I needed to make sure that I masked off at least 1/2" plus some extra for a white border around the black box the letters were going to be in. I made the area just over 1" tall and I used the mortar lines to tape the area off straight.
I then masked off the rest of the wall.
The area is spray painted flat white.
I applied the vinalvinyl letters. The color you choose doesn't really matter because they're going to be painted over then removed. I used black because they showed up on the white better.
I peeled the letters off the backing with tweezers.
The lettering is complete
It is spray painted flat black.
I have removed part of the lettering to reveal the white paint below. You'll note that a small amount of the black leaked under the lettering. That is because I did not paint the wall straight on but from an angle. (My mistake) Also, I cracked the brickwork while putting on the masking tape. A way to help prevent that, according to Russ Greene from New England Brownstone, is to glue sheet wood to the back of the brick work to thicken the walls.
I used a 0000 steel wool pad from a hardware store. (about $4 for 12 pads) It is important to rub lightly as your removing the upper layers of the paint. If you press to hard you'll (1) leave scratch marks on the paint and (2) eventually take the paint off the bricks bringing the surface down to expose the plaster brick work. (white)
I weathered only half the wall to compare the new look to the old faded look.
Here is a close up of the weathered warehouse sign.
Here is the process I used to make the wall look aged:
I printed a couple signs for the wall. The Kreo-Koff sign was scanned from a medicine box I purchased at an antique store and the Coke sign showed up in a image google search of "signs from the 1920's"
Both signs were cut out with a pen knife.
I left the Coke sign new and aged the Kreo-Koff sign by:
With everything place together I felt the Kreo-Koff sign was still to "stiff" to look old.
I carefully bent some of the top of the sign to make it look as if though it was peeling away from the wall from being there a long time. I did not peel-up the bottom of the sign.
I was not careful when covering the back with glue.
I place the two signs were I wanted them.
For a few final touches I:

How does the Locky ransomware file type affect enterprise protection?
Locky ransomware has, again, changed tactics by moving to using LNK files for distribution. Expert Nick Lewis explains how enterprises can adjust protections for this shift.
Locky ransomware was discovered to be using a domain generation algorithm in its code, and now it has evolved yet again. This time, security researchers have found Locky ransomware moving away from WSF documents in phishing emails to shortcut LNK files. Microsoft says this can help phishing emails evade detection. What's the difference between the two file types, and how should security teams adjust to the changes in Locky?
Locky ransomware has made several changes in its operations in response to defenses implemented by enterprises to block it. The malware authors and ecosystem are motivated to keep making money by infecting new endpoints. The malware authors know that most endpoints and users have common vulnerabilities, so they will only need to get to the stage where the user opens an attachment from their email.
The Windows Script File (WSF) type, which Locky previously used to distribute the Nemucod malware, can be used to run JScript or VBScript. LNK files are shortcuts to executables -- Locky uses LNK files that contain PowerShell command line arguments to download the malware. Organizations that had been scanning or blocking WSF files to stop the ransomware may not be doing the same for LNK files.
Locky ransomware continues to be distributed using spam. Security teams should ensure their security controls block spam, phishing and malicious attachments, as well as that they inspect ZIP files to see if they contain LNK files, and to block them if so.
Enterprises may even want to start whitelisting the attachments that they allow, as well as ensuring that their antispam and phishing tools have the functionality to check the allowed file types for macros or other malicious code. Microsoft also recommends disabling macros completely for Office.
