More often than not, every business makes sincere efforts to attract new customers and expand their network. Some also pay huge amounts to professional advertising agencies. And some invest thousands of dollars every month in promoting their branding.
So, how much do you spend to continue getting new customers?
Well, regardless of your answer, the bottomline is that every online business wants increase their revenues.
If you browse internet to find a way to increase revenues, you will find many in results. In fact, you will also come across several posts that will tell you how you can increase revenues without increasing expense. I've distilled all these posts and summarized all different ways discussed over the internet, and found that there is a sure-fire way to boost your business revenues – content marketing.
Let's discuss it in detail.
Content Marketing
"Develop content that drives leads and business"
Here are the top 10 benefits of effective content marketing:
- Increased User Engagement
- Increased website traffic
- Enhanced Brand Awareness
- Improved sales
- Improved SEO
- Increased leads
- Better Brand Perception
- Incremental Revenue from content
- Nurturing leads
- Strong Influence on key stockholders
However, not every content can drive sales for you. There are lots of examples where business find dramatic boost in their traffic, but no improvement in their sales.
Following are the four main reasons why your content marketing strategies stuck:
- They have no idea exactly which audience is engaging with their content
- They don't focus on sales, rather they count only traffic.
- They don't trace actionable metrics to learn when their content works, rather many has a myth that the more content they create, the more sales they will get
- They don't have any clue what part of their content is driving sales and generating revenues
And hence the real challenge is to create the content that results for your business. But how?
- Define a goal. And don't begin writing unless you have one.
- Content should be engaging, interesting, sensational, informative and intriguing
- Content should be relevant or exactly what your target audience is looking for, or would be interested to read
- Maintain flow in the content, as if you are telling a story
- Include keywords that resonates with your customers
- Create metrics to know what works best, and what doesn't work; continue tracking these metrics
- Make it simple and straightforward; Remember, less is always more.
- Don't confuse the readers, instead use striking, direct and definitive language
- Breaking down the content into bullet points, numbers, lists make it look more organized and hence more readable
- Never copy content. Use unique, original and quality content in your website.
- Create attention-grabbing headlines
- Optimize content for better search engine ranking
- Link to other quality content
- Bring some statistics, and thoughts of leaders and experts into your content
- Good formatting of content is essential.
- You may also integrate video, infographic and high definition images, as per subject demand
- Find out what your customers like or want, and create content accordingly
- Track which content gets you highest backlinks
Today, it isn't a question if you should do content marketing or not. But, it's a question to know how and where you can begin. Small and mid-sized businesses have understood the role of content marketing in their modern business model. Even big brands and leading marketing firms are leveraging top-quality content published on their own websites and throughout the web to engage with prospects and expand their client-base.
Some marketers have known this from years that content marketing is an effective arsenal, but today it becomes the mainstream. A most recent survey from MailOnline says that 70% of brands and 77% of agencies execute content marketing to promote their products and services amongst their customers and prospects.
So, how can you start out with content marketing?
The world of internet has brought to the table a new genesis for your content – the blog. According to CMI, "Our belief is that the center of the online content marketing strategy can and should be the blog. Yes, a blog is just a tool, but it is a very powerful tool for sharing and spreading our content, and making sure we are found in search engines. Since May, we have published a blog post on every business day, which has led to a consistent 25% growth in monthly website traffic since day one."
Moreover, Google spiders love blogging due to the fact that it is a solid way of sharing opinion and educating people. So, if you want to get noticed by Google, start blogging. While blogging is critical to your content marketing success, you should not neglect other ways as penned below:
- Create Social Media Buzz
- Keep Coming with New Visuals like videos, images, web design, brochure, infographic, newsletter, business displays, etc.
- Grab attention of users with exciting offers including discounts or seasonal offers
- Held online contests, and conduct online surveys and polls. This will help you share content effectively.
Anything left out? Awaiting your comments.

Two software applications I recommend recently got updated.
- Techsmith Snagit – in early June, Snagit was upgraded to version 13. The update brings a host of new features. This week, Techsmith released an update, version 13.0.1, which fixes some of the bugs found in version 13. If you have Techsmith Updater running (it should be by default), the Updater will notify you of the new release and work in the background to update your copy of Snagit to 13.0.1. You can check your version via the Help Menu.
- Foxit Reader – Version 8.0 introduces the new ConnectedPDF feature. I believe it replaces the Foxit Cloud feature in the earlier versions. I use the Reader to mainly read PDFs and nothing more, so I recommend you disable the ConnectedPDF feature. Here is how to do it, via Techdows. I updated for bug fixes and to gain the new connection feature to Dropbox, which was previously not available.

Wal-Mart now has 56 stores in China, with about 30,000 employees, and plans to open 20 stores this year. Amy Wyatt, a Wal-Mart spokeswoman, declined to say how many stores would be added longer term.
Internationally, Wal-Mart is active in China, Japan, Korea, Britain, Germany, Canada, Mexico and eight countries in Latin America.
The company does not provide a country-by-country breakdown of international financial results, but the division accounted for about 20 percent of last year's overall net sales of $312.4 billion. The international unit is growing faster than the company's larger United States operations.
Late last year, Wal-Mart extended its global business by buying 140 Sonae stores in Brazil and increasing its stake to a majority in the Seiyu chain in Japan, which has 405 stores.
Forbes.com has created a slide show to illustrate the globalization of Wal-Mart, it is a very eye opening and awakening presentation that you must check out! Heres the link Forbes: Globalization of Wal-Mart

Have you heard the term "digital transparency" being bandied about lately? Have you thought it meant that those who market online need to be as honest with their prospects as possible? Spot on!
Digital Transparency Defined
Accountability in this instance requires the maintenance of business ethics. It entails three things:
Possible fraud: did online ads paid actually appear, and to real people, not bots?
Viewability: did the ads show up on a website long enough for someone to actually see them? Or did they disappear in mere nanoseconds?
Brand positioning: did the ads appear where the advertiser would want them to? For example: did an ad for a fast food chain's new bacon deluxe burger appear in a news story about a rising childhood diabetes epidemic?
Why Digital Marketers Need Transparency
Another no brainer: if you don't know "'where your money is spent…. [y]ou can't make well- founded decisions.'" You also could see your ad spend hit the roof with little true ROI as a result. There's also the chance you could be a victim of ad fraud.
That needs to change. Today. As the post linked to above stated, digital advertisers became used to this. In the brave new digital marketing/advertising world, it was the just the way "things were done." Companies became inured to "pouring money into [the] black box" that had online marketing written upon it.
Why Didn't Advertisers Demand Digital Transparency Before?
Most likely two reasons:
- Agencies purchased digital ads in bulk and then marked a percentage of it up for their clients, depending on how many ads they decided to run. These ad campaigns were so relatively inexpensive yet incredibly successful that advertisers never uttered a peep of dissent.
- The cause could also attribute to marketers not fully understanding how the whole process worked. Regardless, the ads brought in more revenue than money spent, so folks rejoiced. Until they didn't.
As digital marketing and advertising became mainstream, marketers started looking into details. They wanted to understand the true cost of their ad spends. In fact, the Wall Street Journal reports that an Association of National Advertisers and the firm K2 Intelligence last year outlined all the different ways agencies were making money via ad buys. Their clients took note and agency accountability has been the result.
Two of the possible less-than-stellar digital advertising activities included domain spoofing and invalid traffic. The former entails ad networks, publishers or exchanges hiding the nature of their traffic to look like legitimate websites. The latter involves impressions or clicks that inflate an advertiser's costs. This includes intentionally fraudulent traffic as well as clicks viewers made accidentally.
What You Can Do About It
We recommend you work with marketing professionals who not only understand digital advertising, but who have always followed the highest of business ethics. Ingenex Digital Marketing has served non-profits, educational institutions, start-ups, and many different types of businesses for years. Not to mention, we've always done so with a firm focus on our own corporate social responsibility.
Contact us to learn more about how we can build your trust through transparency and what we do to combat digital ad fraud. Better yet, talk to Jeff Hayes, our director of client services. He will discuss your needs and how we could help you advertise your products/services online…with full digital transparency!

took my diana to the range this morning...........after a quick zero @ 30m, i went through the same club shoot course we did last weekend. the result........half of my pcp score. eeish!!!
never the less, it reminded me how i got into airgunning in the first place, and how critical proper techniques are required to pull off a shot with a springer. with springer HFT on the horizon, i'm excited......i think by shooting a springer regularly it can only improve my shooting skills/techniques.
just looking at what's available out there................i don't think one can do much better than either TX200HC or HW97K. anyone with experience of both? from what i gathered from the uk forums........the TX200 is better outta box, but the 97k has better tuning potential. i've only shot the TX200 in FAC, beast of a springer and accurate too. off the bench, sub 10mm groups @ 25m was like the norm. i've only handled the 97k at the shop, oh plus one shot into the phone book unscoped . oh yes there's always the P.S. hmm.......
i see leupold and nikko nighteater do a fixed 12X scope, anyone know if they are springer rated.

The ACLU's Arizona affiliate, ACLU-AZ, now supports the right to bear arms. From its Tough Questions about ACLU Positions policy FAQ:
The ACLU of Arizona, which is based in Phoenix, supports the individual right to bear arms – a right that is expressly identified in Article 2, Section 26 of the Arizona Constitution. In 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court in D.C. v. Heller held for the first time that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to keep and bear arms, whether or not associated with a state militia. In July 2008, the ACLU of Arizona Board of Directors passed the following policy: "Resolved that ACLU of Arizona does not follow national board policy #47 that the right to bear arms is a collective, not an individual right. The Arizona Constitution expressly provides that the right to bear arms, to the extent constitutionally protected, is an individual right, so policy #47 has never been operative in Arizona."
"Never been operative" is a bit Orwellian; the Board of Directors during my tenure as a member acted as though the National policy was operative. Former Executive Director Eleanor Eisenberg's explicitly anti-RKBA and downright hoplophobic legislative testimonies against liberalization were nonetheless never official ACLU-AZ position. She was advised by the Board to cease opposing RKBA, followed this instruction for a while, and then became rather insubordinate about the matter around the time she resigned, but events played out in such a way that there was never time for a reprimand. No doubt Eleanor turned off the marginal gun owner to the ACLU; the organization's new affirmative pro-RKBA stance could bring such people back, were it actually publicized.

Blog 9: Creating the Perfect Monster
I thought that I would apply for a Phd, be accepted at some amazing university (the University of Minnesota was my first choice) and I would learn, adapt, write and be done. And go on to become a magnificent teaching creature. Except that…part of it happened and then…the rest didn't.
I got accepted, took my first class and…hated it. I despised the data collection – which involved video taping my own teaching, – I despised the the transcription of the data, the reading of the data and monitoring my own class engagement in isolation and confusion. The advisor, whom I had initially liked, turned out to be short with me, impatient, and abruptly dismissive of my questions. Her old-school style of advising was…well, uncomfortable. It was clear that the learning journey I had anticipated and waited for: was not going to happen. I realized that she had thought I would do research for her, and write for her. By the end of the semester, I knew the area of study was not a good fit – and neither was the advisor. But, I could not admit that I need to re-think my plan. My option was to continue to take classes online – and apply for a degree change to the Learning Technologies PhD program, or – quit.
I decided to wait it out for a semester or two and take more classes. So, I took classes. At Phd prices. I sought advice from professors but no one seemed interested in my situation or in helping me proceed forward or to make a better plan. So, I kept taking classes. No one thought to advise me or ask me anything or tell me the drill. I am now almost done with an expensive Master's of Education in Learning Technologies. I fear I got accepted into the program, not because I am any good (although I do have a rather tough Master's degree in History, already) but because I had completed most of the classes and they had to let me in to the program. Or because it looks bad for U of MN data, when graduate students drop out. Discouraging thoughts.

This week I am including an excerpt of my book: Spiritual Reality:transforming the Ordinary into the Extraordinary. It comes from Chapter 10, on the Joy of Serving. Oftentimes, you are not aware of all your talents. You may underestimate yourself and be overly critical. There is pressure from society to perform in sometimes extreme ways. Television is telling you how you are to behave in an indirect and sometimes direct way. It is often sending a message of fear with…..
In our focus on the physical aspects of our daily life we can miss the beauty and magic of the situations and scenes around us. The magic that surrounds us is often hidden in the details of life. You can search for this magic in many forms, but really the best way is to let it come to you. How does the magic come to you? It comes by you having a commitment in your life to see the magic beyond the…..
I would like to talk about taking care of the physical vehicle that keeps us here on earth – our bodies. When our bodies are healthy, it is much easier to have a full and enjoyable life. Our physical health affects our mental and emotional health, and hence our ability to reach for the level of spiritual connection. Going to the doctor is expensive in terms of the stress factor, time, and money. It distracts from other more constructive pursuits…..
Opus Whale Song Video What do I mean by agreements? 1)There are agreements between people, communities and society. The basis of these determines how well the society and people in it function. From school rules to state rules they are a form of agreement – even if an individual did not partake of the agreement process. Living in the society and sending a child to a school is an indication of functionally agreeing with the rules. 2) The opus video…..
As a scientist I have always loved to experiment. There are many unknowns in life all begging to become an experiment. For how else will one ever know or feel comfortable with the possibilities if you have not tried different experiments to see what the results will be for yourself?

Sharing their Conspiracy on the Internet
Sharing their Conspiracy on the Internet.
This is a quick follow up to the article sharing their Demons on the Web that came out November 13, 2008 in the New York Times.
I don't know how many of our website visitors out there have had a chance to read and digest this article that just came out in the New York Times and also ran in several other International papers, but I thought this would be a wonderful opportunity to shed some additional light on some portions of the article.
The Internet is a modern marvel of mankind. I have seen parents who's children are ill, and they have used every expert that the offline world can throw at them, only to fail. I have seen those same parents type in a few key words, and find help, love, support, and many times the answers that they were seeking. I personally see a similar pattern when it comes to those seeking help or assistance for their Gang Stalking.
They are seeking help and assistance, they have tried all forms of offline support and to no avail. Some have been on medication, thought of suicide, or are at their wits end, and then they find these sites. They find they are not alone, they find that their symptoms that they thought no one else would ever believe, are common place and everyday for the members of this community. They find understanding. Using these websites is a matter of choice, and when traditional practices have failed, then these websites have come to the forefront for help, support and even healing.
This quite lengthy and delightful article starts of by saying:
"FOR years they lived in solitary terror of the light beams that caused searing headaches, the technology that took control of their minds and bodies. They feared the stalkers, people whose voices shouted from the walls or screamed in their heads, "We found you" and "We want you dead."
For the targets of Gang Stalking the harassment is often subtle and leaves very little trace. That is why it has for years been very difficult to muster up any support or awareness of what is happening to us. If voices were shouting from walls, many of us within the community would have been quite capable of going getting a tape recorder or video camera and taping what was happening to us.
The next paragraph of the article is fairly correct.
"When people who believe such things reported them to the police, doctors or family, they said they were often told they were crazy. Sometimes they were medicated or locked in hospital wards, or fired from jobs and isolated from the outside world."
Just like with our cousins in the mobbing community. Before workplace mobbing was studied and verified, targets of this practice were often not believed, were often left isolated, and at times driven to suicide, or other acts of violence. Our communities experienced the same things, before these support apparatuses were put into place. Please keep in mind that Gang Stalking has a lot of the similarities to what happens with workplace mobbing, except this does happen in the community and we are followed around.
The next paragraph goes on to say.
"But when they found one another on the Internet, everything changed. So many others were having the same experiences."
This is in part true. Things did change once we started to compare notes, and provide a support structure for each other. Before this, many of us did suffer in silence and anguish. Since starting the Gang Stalking World website, I have had people tell me, that their families were falling apart, but after finding a support source, and just knowing that they were not alone, it made a world of difference. That is one of the primary and key functions that this website and others like it does.
The next paragraph goes onto say:
"Type "mind control" or "gang stalking" into Google, and Web sites appear that describe cases of persecution, both psychological and physical, related with the same minute details — red and white cars following victims, vandalism of their homes, snickering by those around them."
I will grant that many of our experiences do have extremely similar facets, much in the same way targets of bullying and mobbing had similar experiences. I am not sure that I would agree with the fact that we all see red and white cars. The cars that follow Targeted Individuals around come in all shapes and sizes, but in the past, several targets have noticed overt similarities.
The next paragraph describes us as an extreme community.
"Identified by some psychologists and psychiatrists as part of an "extreme community" on the Internet that appears to encourage delusional thinking, a growing number of such Web sites are filled with stories from people who say they are victims of mind control and stalking by gangs of government agents. The sites are drawing the concern of mental health professionals and the interest of researchers in psychology and psychiatry."
I find this paragraph to be interesting. I am not sure that sharing stories and providing support encourages delusional thinking anymore than sharing stories of workplace mobbing, did for the targets of that harassment, or what exposure did for the targets of Cointelpro. I think history has shown that gathering together and providing support and awareness has been beneficial for targets of similar forms of harassment.
If these mental health professionals are concerned about these websites spreading delusional thinking, I am wondering what they would have said and how they would have pronounced the mobbing websites just 10 to 15 years ago. At the time before serious research was paid to workplace mobbing, believing that your co-workers were conspiring to harass you out of the workplace, and that human resources was a part of this conspiracy in some cases would have been seen as delusional, but with the advent of research into workplace mobbing, we now see that this is in fact a very real phenomenon and human resources have not only been involved at times, but it's become a common practice in some areas with what's called the psychiatric reprisal.
What mobbing websites have done for targets of Workplace Mobbing in shedding light and offering assistance is what Gang Stalking websites are doing now for the targets of this practice.
When targets of the state in Russia were declared delusional and mentally ill, the psychiatric community in those countries were a very dedicated force in silencing those individuals and cooperating with the state. If researchers into psychology and psychiatry are interested in studying this phenomenon let's hope that it's with an eye towards finding out the truth, and not with the intention of helping the state to further persecute, which is what happened in Russia.
The next paragraph expresses the concern that social networking websites that deal with gang stalking, and mind control might inhibit targets from seeking help and impede treatment.
"Although many Internet groups that offer peer support are considered helpful to the mentally ill, some experts say Web sites that amplify reports of mind control and group stalking represent a dark side of social networking. They may reinforce the troubled thinking of the mentally ill and impede treatment."
What I have personally seen a lot of the Gloria Naylor types. By this I mean, people who sought out traditional forms of assistance. They went to the police, doctors, lawyers, had the mental exam, etc and they still were not getting anywhere, the problems were still happening in their lives. Gloria Naylor is a famous African American Author who was also a target of this practice. She wrote a book about her experiences title 1996. She first sought out psychological help and even went on medication which did not help. It was only after discovering websites that dealt with mind control, that she finally received some help and assistance. In her own words she has since then been able to start to turn her life around. Traditional forms of support in her case and many others have not helped, and have not lead those suffering to finding solutions that would help or assist them with functioning.
I would hope that if this is going to be studied, that cases such as Ramona Lopez and Jesus Mendoza will be reviewed. There cases are well documented and they were both whistle-blowers that started to experience the same phenomenon after blowing the whistle. I would also hope that if this is going to be researched, that they will review how writing the book into the Buzzsaw was able to provide help and support to journalist who go through a very similar phenomenon.
Over the last two years, I find that many of the people who are visiting my site, have sought out traditional assistance, and realise that something else is going on. They seek out additional assistance after realised that they are not getting help with what is happening to them. I see people who do start blogs or video tape what is happening to them, and they say that it provides them with a sense of empowerment. I can say on a personal level that exposure of what is happening to me, has been one of the most cathartic things that I was able to do over the last 2 years.
The next paragraph says that:
"Dr. Ralph Hoffman, a psychiatry professor at Yale who studies delusions, said a growing number of his research subjects have told him of visiting mind-control sites, and finding in them confirmation of their own experiences."
This tells me that more and more people are seeking out help and assistance on the Internet. What it does not tell me is what happens next? After they visit these sites, do they stop seeking Dr Hoffman assistance, do they just find some comfort in the fact that they are not alone, or some other alternative?
"The views of these belief systems are like a shark that has to be constantly fed," Dr. Hoffman said. "If you don't feed the delusion, sooner or later it will die out or diminish on its own accord. The key thing is that it needs to be repetitively reinforced."
That is what the Web sites do, he said. Similar concerns have arisen about a proliferation of sites that describe how to commit suicide, or others that promote anorexia and bulimia, providing detailed instructions on restricting food and photographs of skeletal women meant to be "thinspiration."
With all due respect to Dr Hoffman, many of the people that I have spoken to, again had sought out traditional assistance and it was not working. They had tried to believe that things were maybe in their heads, but found consistent reasons to believe otherwise and went seeking out other answers. These are the majority of people that are ending up at my website. The same way many targets of mobbing end up at workplace mobbing and bullying websites, when first trying to understand their harassment and bullying.
Gang Stalking websites in many cases are not feeding a delusion anymore than mobbing or bullying websites are. They are giving targets similar stories, or a list of symptoms that are the same or similar to their own. They are helping them to find solace and often answers that had hither to alluded them. They also provide comfort and support.
The comparison of Gang Stalking websites to sites that encourage people to commit suicide, or revel in their eating disorders is an unfair, and unjust comparison. We in fact do the opposite. Gang Stalking websites, based on feedback that I have received, often help people out of some of the darker moments that they are going through. We strive in fact to stop people from committing suicide or other acts of violence. Knowledge is power, and we provide them with up to date information based on research, that many in the Gang Stalking community have been doing.
Before Gang Stalking websites were available, some people like myself used mobbing and bullying websites for support, but that did not quite answer all the questions or cover all the scenarios of what was happening to us. If visiting these mobbing and bullying sites were not harmful, then might it be supposed that visiting Gang Stalking websites could be having a similar and beneficial effect for individuals who feel that they are targets of this practice?
"There is no concise survey of mind-control sites or others describing gang stalking — whose users believe that groups of people are following and controlling them, as part of a test of neurological or other kinds of weapons likely conducted by the government — on the Net. But they are easy to find. Some have hundreds of postings, along with links to dozers of similar sties. One, Gangstalkingworld.com, welcomes visitors with this description: "Gang Stalking is a systemic form of control, which seeks to destroy every aspect of a Targeted Individual's life. The target is followed around and placed under surveillance by Civilian Spies/Snitches 24/7."
I am really glad to see that the article was kind enough to mention the Gang Stalking World website. I just wish that it had also mentioned that a program called Cointelpro was perpetrated by the American government and has very similar characteristics to what we describe as Gang Stalking. I wish the article had also mentioned that Cynthia McKinney,a former United States Representative had also requested to have Cointelpro investigations re-opened, because she believed that aspects of this were still ongoing.
"the sites provide the powerful, unfamiliar experience of being understood by others."
I think this paragraph more than anything else sums this up really well. These websites provide understanding. I can remember personally reading Mark M. Rich's the hidden evil for the first time, and I remember somewhere on his old site where it said you are not alone. After that I never felt alone again. There is something about connecting with others who are having a shared experience that is so cathartic, and amazing. You truly do not feel alone and for the first time I was able to connect with this stranger that was miles away, and feel truly understood. In the subsequent years, this is the feedback that I have received from the dozens of website visitors who have come through my site.
"By and large, most people are sane and coherent and can relate exactly what's happening to them," Mr. Robinson said. "They can say the things that would otherwise get them labeled as delusional."
People for the first time in years are free to be themselves and to say what they want to say, without someone saying that they are crazy. This is not only one of the amazing things about the Gang Stalking Support sites, but this is one of the amazing things about the Internet, and this is the concept that has helped the Internet to grow and to become what it is.
"Vaughan Bell, a British psychologist who has researched the effect of the Internet on mental illness, first began tracking sites with reports of mind control in 2004. In 2006 he published a study concluding that there was an extensive Internet community around such beliefs, and he called 10 sites he studied "likely psychotic sites."
The extent of the community, Dr. Bell said, poses a paradox to the traditional way delusion is defined under the diagnostic guidelines of the American Psychiatric Association, which says that if a belief is held by a person's "culture or subculture," it is not a delusion. The exception accounts for rituals of religious faith, for example."
Since Gang Stalking World only began in 2006, and we don't predominantly deal with the mind control aspect of the targeting, I can assume that my website is not on the list that Dr Bell put together. I would however love to have a copy of this list, because even within the Gang Stalking, Mind Control communities, there are websites that are more helpful and useful than others. Before passing further judgement, I would love to see the 10 websites that he used when making his assessment.
"Dr. Bell, whose study was published in the journal Psychopathology, said that it does not suggest all people participating in mind-control sites are delusional, and that a firm diagnosis of psychosis could only be done in person."
Since diagnosis has to be done in person to formulate an accurate opinion about wither a person is delusional or suffering from a psychosis, I am a bit surprised that a remote assessment was made in regards to a whole community, but I again would love to read the research first.
"For people who say they are the target of mind control or gang stalking, there may be enough evidence in the scientific literature to fan their beliefs. Many sites point to MK-ULTRA, the code name for a covert C.I.A. mind-control and chemical interrogation program begun in the 1950s.
Recently the sites have linked to an article published in September in Time magazine, "The Army's Totally Serious Mind-Control Project," which described a $4 million contract given to the Army to develop "thought helmets" that would allow troops to communicate through brain waves on the battlefield."
I wish the article had pointed to the even more numerous articles on some of these websites in regards to proof that people are being followed around, and placed under watch.
The next paragraph points to Jim Guest a Republican State Representative, who just like Cynthia McKinney has also taken some of our claims seriously.
"And the users of some sites have found the support of Jim Guest, a Republican state representative in Missouri, who wrote last year to his fellow legislators calling for an investigation into the claims of those who say they are being tortured by mind control.
"I've had enough calls, some from credible people — professors — being targeted by nonlethal weapons," Mr. Guest said in a telephone interview, adding that nothing came of his request for a legislative investigation. "They become psychologically affected by it. They have trouble sleeping at night."
He added: "I believe there are people who have been targeted by this. With this equipment, you have to test it on somebody to see if it works."
The article might have also mentioned that three states have now passed laws in regards to electronic harassment. In the last several years there has been forward momentum, because there has been a focus on exposure and awareness.
"Dr. Bell and some other mental health professionals say that even if the users of such sites are psychotic, forging an online connection to others and being told — perhaps for the first time — "you are not crazy" could actually have a positive effect on their illnesses.
"We know, for example, that things like social support, all of these positive social aspects are very good for people's mental illness," Dr. Bell said. "I wouldn't say it's entirely and completely positive, but it can be positive."
Some research has shown that when people with delusions undergo group cognitive therapy, the group process can be helpful in their treatment
But the Web sites are not moderated by professionals, and many postings discuss the failure of medication and say that mental health professionals are part of the conspiracy against them."
Tim Fields when he set up his Bully support website was not a professional either. He in fact was a target of bullying. He was later accredited for his work in the field, because of the research that he did. He also started to find a link to suggest there was a conspiracy afoot with what was happening to many targets of bullying when they sought out help and assistance.
It's still unfortunate that with full knowledge of programs such as Cointelpro, MK-Ultra, and the situation in the former East Germany that some mental health professionals would conclude an assessment of mental illness before proper research into this phenomenon was thoroughly conducted.
Again the above paragraph goes to show that people finding our websites, are trying out traditional forms of support, medication and psychological assistance which are not working, and they are seeking further assistance and locating our websites. Again I will point out that with the situation in Russia that happened, the mental health profession was a part of the conspiracy. We see similar patterns with McCarthyism and Cointelpro and organisations that should be trustworthy being parts of government conspiracies.
""These people lead quietly desperate lives," said Dr. Jeffrey A. Lieberman, chairman of the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University. "And if they are reinforcing each other and pulling people toward something, if they are using the Internet and getting reinforcement, that's good.""
I don't know that all targets lead desperate lives, however being a target of Gang Stalking and or Mind Control can have a stressful effect like none other. We are using the Internet to find support, encouragement and understanding, which is something that many of us we were not able to do before.
"Psychiatrists and researchers say it is too soon to say whether communication on the Internet among people who may be psychotic will negatively effect their illnesses." This is a very complex little corner," said Dr. Ken Duckworth, the medical director for the National Alliance on Mental Illness, an advocacy group. "Some people may find it's healing, but these are really hard questions. The Internet isn't a cause of mental illness, it's a complicating new variable."
Because being psychotic can and should be primarily assessed in person, I am still wondering where the conclusion is being drawn that the people frequenting these websites have a mental illness is to begin with? I can understand if this assessment is being based on people who have first visited traditional psychiatrist, but then this would also show that traditional forms of theory might not be helping and that people are still seeking out additional support. Ether way I found the article to be a fascinating read, and I am glad to add it to the collection of articles that have been acquired over the last two years, in trying to get to the heart of what has been happening to members of the Gang Stalking community.
With any support system, there will be good and bad. I would suggest that people still have more than one mechanism in place, but overall, no matter what you are going through, finding love support and understanding is a good thing.

Gangstalking adventures.
Hello world.
This blog is going to be about my adventures with gang stalking. I really didn't choose this adventure, it choose me about six years or so ago. I didn't ask for it, but I am living it, and so now I will share my adventures with you all.
I am not on facebook, or myspace. I get asked this question a lot. You can visit the following links to see some of the progress that is being made. I did create a twitter account.

text: Stephen Carpenteri - March 19, 2019 New York Fishing Calendar 2019 From January through December, let's take a look at what New York has to offer this year. Avid New York anglers know that there is a place to wet a line every day of the year no matter the weather conditions. From Central Park to the Finger Lakes and the wild Adirondacks the action is non-stop. What follows is a sampling of great fishing spots for every month of the year. Let's go fishing. Images by Vic DunawayJANUARYSTEELHEAD: Lake Ontario TributariesTen-pound rainbows lay in every deep pool of Lake Ontario's tributary rivers and streams. Steelhead-savvy anglers target the smallest streams where there is less competition and fish are easier to find and catch.January lake-run rainbows are not easy to fool but traditional favorites include salmon egg sacs, brightly-colored darts and flies and small, glittery lures. Fish slow and deep and bring a full measure of patience because often of the biggest steelhead will ignore your best offering 100 times but then strike savagely on the next cast. Winter fishing means winter clothing – expect the worst and dress for it. Many of the best catches are made when temperatures are near freezing with high winds, rain, sleet or snow in any combination. OTHER OPTIONS: Great Sacandaga Lake is the perfect location for a January ice-fishing foray for rainbow trout. Cut several holes perpendicular to shore and then alternate use jigs or flashy lures till you find the 'bows. Sylvan Lake in Dutchess County is open year-round and is stocked with brown trout that grow to 10 pounds and more. Fish at dawn or dusk when targeting the big ones.FEBRUARYWALLEYES: Cayuta LakeCayuta Lake is open to ice-fishing for walleyes through March 15 with a three-fish, 18-inch bag limit. Cut a number of holes in the ice to cover a variety of depths and then drop small minnows or jig with spoons (such as the popular Swedish Pimple) tipped with spikes, mousies or a minnow head.Plan to be on the ice early and late in the day or any time during overcast, inclement weather because walleyes, even in winter, are light-shy and less active during periods of bright sun.Start out jigging close to shore but work your way into deeper water throughout the day. Use a fish-finder to locate schools of walleyes, which will be found in close proximity to pods of baitfish. Move quickly and change baits often to accommodate the bite. OTHER OPTIONS: Keuka Lake in Region 8 is the perfect destination for February lake trout. Fish just off the bottom in deep water. Chazy Lake in Region 5 is great for landlocked salmon. Concentrate on the center of the lake and use jigs or flashy lures worked just under the ice.MARCHSTEELHEAD: Salmon RiverNew York's famed Salmon River offers excellent steelhead action. Egg sacs or egg-imitating flies and plastics are the most popular options. Fish that entered the river in the fall will hold over in the deeper pools of the river throughout the winter. Warming periods during the winter may bring new fish into the river. Spawning usually takes place during mid-March and through early April.After spawning the fish begin to drop back to Lake Ontario. These fish feed heavily because they have finished spawning and are easily caught on plugs, spinners, flies, egg sacs and night crawlers. OTHER OPTIONS: The Alleghany State Park Lakes are open year-round and contain good numbers of stocked brown trout. The bag limit is five fish but only two may be longer than 12 inches. Lake Ronkonkoma in Suffolk County is open to bass fishing this month under catch-and-release regulations. Artificial cover has been provided to help anglers find more largemouths. APRILYELLOW PERCH: Braddock BayEarly spring fishing for yellow perch can be outstanding. Northern pike, chain pickerel, largemouth bass and sunfish are also popular targets during the open water season. Try worms fished under a bobber or small plastic tube baits or twister-tails for perch and bass.Because perch tend to roam in same-aged, same-sized schools experienced anglers keep an eye out for the larger fish and then attack with flashy lures, night crawlers and small crankbaits.The bite may last for only a few minutes so make the most of your time by casting non-stop for as long as the action persists.OTHER OPTIONS: Traget schoolie stripers in the upper Hudson River, which is open to sport fishing on a catch-and-release basis only. Iroquois Lake near Schenectady is a shallow, weedy lake that is full of small (3- to 5-inch) sunfish that offersplenty of fishing action for kids.MAYBROWN TROUT: BEAVER KILLThe Beaver Kill is divided into upper and lower sections at the confluence with Willowemoc Creek in the town of Roscoe. Both sections support healthy populations of wild brown trout. The upper section of the river good numbers of wild brook trout that increase in number upstream toward the famous river's popular headwaters. Rainbow trout are also scattered throughout the watershed as a result of both natural reproduction and non-DEC stockings in private sections of the river. Since the earliest days of American fly fishing, anglers have maintained a springtime love affair with the Beaver Kill. Must-hit pools include Barnhart's, Hendrickson's and Cairns' if only for their historic, sentimental value.OTHER OPTIONS: Hemlock Lake's salmonid fishery consists of lake trout, brown trout, rainbow trout and landlocked salmon. West Branch of Fish Creek is a medium sized stream in Oneida and Oswego counties. It contains stocked brown trout and wild brook trout. Anglers will also find Atlantic salmon in the creek.JUNETROUT: West Branch Croton River The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation manages the West Branch Croton River as three segments under Artificial Lures Only regulations. In two cases these three segments are coupled with high size limits and low bag limits to protect the quality of the fishing.On all three of the streams the goal is to give trout additional protection in an effort to keep more fish in the stream and to allow more to reach larger sizes. Anglers are advised to crimp down the barbs on all hooks to make catch-and-release easier and to protect the fish from unnecessary injury.OTHER OPTIONS: Wappingers Creek is stocked annually with over 12,000 brown trout and 2,000 rainbow trout, with all of the rainbow trout being stocked downstream of the dam at Pleasant Valley. JULYMUSKIES: Chautauqua LakeChautauqua Lake in western New York is recognized as a premiere, world-class muskellunge fishery, with many fish in the 40-to 50-inch class caught each year. Better catch numbers tend to come from shallower areas along weed edges, where trolling or drifting and casting are effective methods. Trollers also see good action for larger muskies suspended over depths of 25 to 35 feet, especially in the north basin.Anglers are encouraged to release their catch without bringing the fish into the boat. When a big muskie is handled carefully its odds of surviving are excellent.OTHER OPTIONS: Anglers looking for native brook trout should try the numerous tributaries of East Branch of Fish Creek, upper Mad River and Otter Creek and the Sugar River in Lewis County. Wild trout streams can also be found on the eastern side of the Black River.AUGUSTBLUEFISH: Long Island SoundBluefish are long, stout fish with distinctly forked tails and jaws filled with triangular, serrated teeth. It is these teeth that have earned the bluefish a reputation as a voracious and dangerous feeder.Fish caught by anglers range in size from 9 inch "snappers" to 15-pound "brutes." Bluefish hit a variety of artificials with shiny metal spoons and tin jigs being the most popular effective. Fishing chunk bait on the bottom will take the larger blues.Only well-maintained, sea-worthy boats with seasoned captains should ply the rough waters of Long Island Sound. Find current seams, drop lures directly to the bottom and then "reef" them to the top and hang on.OTHER OPTIONS: Region 7 is replete with rivers and lakes that offer some world-class carp fishing, a European specialty that is fast becoming a hot option for American anglers in August. Wappinger Lake in Region 3 offers great largemouth bass fishing this month. Start fishing in the weedy shallows in the morning and as the sun starts to come up try fishing the weed lines on the north and south ends of the lake.SEPTEMBERLANDLOCKED SALMON: Saranac RiverThe Saranac River in the city of Plattsburgh provides great fall salmon angling from its mouth to the Imperial Dam (an impassible barrier) approximately three miles upstream. Much of the river bank is owned by the city of Plattsburgh and is accessible to shoreline anglers.Salmon may be found at any depth this month but savvy anglers start out trolling near the surface early in the day and then drop down to near bottom for the midday period. Weather conditions can affect fish response so be flexible and work all the water that can be reached while changing lures and motor speeds.OTHER OPTIONS: Lamoka Lake's chain pickerel are abundant in weedy shallows. Try casting weedless rigs in and near weed beds. Crystal Lake in Sullivan County is open to trout fishing with artificial lures only this month.OCTOBERTROUT: Region 6 StreamsHerkimer, Oneida and Lewis counties contain stocked streams, prime streams (wild trout populations) and remote wild streams that are open to fishing through Oct. 15. For best results in September fish pools and slow riffles during the warmest part of the day. Fall fly fishermen generally use streamers, nymphs or flies. Fish the smaller streams in fall using the same tactics that work in spring.OTHER OPTIONS: Steelhead in Cattaraugus Creek reach 12 pounds so heavy equipment is required. Medium or medium/heavy action spinning rods of 7 to 9 feet with reels filled with 6- to 12-pound test line are standard. Drifting egg sacs is popular among spin anglers. New York City's six watershed reservoirs are open to trout fishing year-round. Use small, flashy artificial lures or gaudy streamers to fool big October trout.NOVEMBERLANDLOCKED SALMON:Lake Champlain TributariesNew York's Boquet, Saranac and Ausable rivers have their sources in the Adirondack Mountains. These rivers are among the 10 New York and Vermont tributaries to Lake Champlain which historically had native runs of Atlantic salmon. The main salmon run occurs in the fall. This offers the best opportunity for anglers to catch a large salmon and can provide up to two months of fishing for die-hard salmon anglers.The main run of salmon usually extends into mid-November with the best action occurring from early October to early November. Worms work best early in the season but seem less effective as fall progresses.Another productive natural bait is the salmon egg cluster. River flows seem to govern the intensity and timing of salmon runs, so anglers are advised to check the Region 5 Fishing Hotline to determine the current status of the run.OTHER OPTIONS: Sixberry Lake is a deep, clear lake that offers good walleye fishing in November. Fish after dark or early and late in the day and on overcast days because walleyes are notoriously light-shy.DECEMBERTROUT: Niagara RiverThe Niagara River flows northward from Lake Erie for about 30 miles before emptying into Lake Ontario, providing one of the most diverse freshwater fisheries in the world.The Niagara is particularly renowned for its world class winter trout fishery, which kicks off in November and lasts all winter.At this time of year the river is jumping with acrobatic rainbow trout, and the famous Niagara Bar at the mouth of Lake Ontario boasts one of the finest lake trout fisheries in the world. Lake trout season opens Dec. 1.Anglers who come prepared for winter weather and deep, fast, cold water will enjoy the best fishing. The Niagara rages year-round but is eminently fishable for anglers who come prepared to handle its deep holes and strong current.OTHER OPTIONS: Try the Upper Chateaugay Lake in Clinton County for lake trout when safe ice forms. The bag limit is three fish over 21 inches. Walton Lake in Region 3 offers good winter brown trout fishing.

TIPPECANOE COUNTY, Ind. (WLFI) — A man accused of stabbing another man at a homeless camp will see some prison time.
Court documents say that on May 16, police were sent to a West Lafayette hotel to investigate a report of a man who had been stabbed.
When police arrived they found Russell Kinman with multiple stab wounds to the forearm, armpit and abdomen. Kinman was sent to a local hospital for treatment resulting in about 28 stitches for his wounds.
Kinman was staying at a make-shift homeless campsite off of South River Road that evening when he got into an altercation with 29-year-old Nate Tedder.
Kinman said that Tedder was being loud and keeping him awake. When he confronted Tedder, a fight ensued which ended with the stabbing.
According to court documents, Tedder recalled getting into the fight with Kinman after having been drinking. He described the knife he had in his possession as about a foot in length.
In May, Tedder was charged with battery with a deadly weapon, battery resulting in moderate bodily injury, and criminal recklessness.
In October, Tedder pleaded guilty to the felony charge of battery with a deadly weapon.
He has been sentenced to four years in total: one and a half years with the Department of Correction and two and a half years on supervised probation.

Smoke Clears from TVCC
Scheeren said the main buildings were not damaged. He said there is no truth to persisting rumors that the towers and the burnt-out building were interconnected and served as a counterweight for each other. "The two buildings are completely unrelated structurally. There's no connection between them. I think it's very important to dispel this kind of story that the two buildings are connected and one depends on the other. That's absolutely not true," he said. Rumors have swirled for months that the delay in reconstruction was partly because the two buildings were linked to each other and that it would be impossible to tear down the smaller building without affecting the main one.This seems like a no brainer to us, but maybe it's an East-West thing. What's more impressive, and important, is that the building remains intact. This is not to say most buildings would not under normal circumstances, but China is not exactly known for building under normal circumstances—the terrible destruction wrought last year on inadequate buildings during the Sichuan earthquake is only the latest example, though we've heard countless reports from architects about substandard building practices, too. It is comforting, amid the devastation, to know that things could have been worse, and hopefully they've gotten better for good. Whether it was Rem demanding appropriate amounts of intumescent paint and the proper gauge steel or the Chinese matters not, so long as the the events of last February are not forgotten.
LAVA's Green Lycra
If you find yourself in Sydney, Australia before June 10, you might want to run by the Customs House to see Green Void, which has an earlike affinity to Marsyas, Anish Kapoor's 2002 sculpture for the Tate Modern's Turbine Hall.
The project is the latest creation of the Sydney- and Stuttgart-based design firm LAVA, who claim to take their design cues from "technology, nature, and mankind." Those were design principles for the Water Cube swimming center at the Beijing Olympics, on which firm founder Chris Bosse collaborated while working as an associate architect at Sydney's PTW.
According to Bosse, Green Void is a biomorphic Lycra sculpture inspired by the geometries of plants, spider webs, and soap bubbles, and fills a space he tells us is "the equivalent of 8 million cola cans." But never mind: It looks good!
CCTV Day 2: We're Sorry
In a statement on its website www.cctv.com, the broadcaster said it "feels sorrowful for the great loss that the fire inflicted on national assets. CCTV sincerely apologizes for the traffic congestion and inconvenience that affect residents nearby." [...] Beijing Fire Control Bureau has confirmed that a senior official of the office of the CCTV new headquarters construction project hired people, without any reference to superiors, to illegally set off fireworks, which caused the fire, according to the statement. CCTV hired staff from a fireworks company to ignite several hundred large festive firecrackers in an open space outside one of its nearly-completed buildings, said Luo Yuan, spokesman and deputy chief of Beijing Fire Control Bureau. Four camcorders recorded the fireworks display and the entire ignition process. The people who ignited the fireworks are being questioned by police and remains of fireworks have been seized.
Beijing residents who wanted to see the smoking shell of the hotel had a harder time on Tuesday finding images of the fire on the Internet, on television or in the city's newspapers. There were no pictures on the front page of The Beijing News. On Tuesday morning, the home page of Xinhua featured a photo from another event: a stampede in South Korea that left four people dead. Throughout the day, CCTV's brief bulletins about the blaze omitted images of the burning tower. By evening, the newscast skipped the story entirely. Even before the flames had been put out early Tuesday, pictures of the burning hotel had been removed from most of the main Internet portals serving China. In the afternoon, the story had been largely buried, although by the evening, news of the fire was accessible on the Xinhua and CCTV Web sites.The critical take has been much the same--arguably echoing points we made in UPDATE 4 in our original post--with Paul Goldberger and Jonathan Glancey seeing symbolism buried amidst the flames.
TVCC Blaze: Report From the Ground
As of 1:00 AM, hundreds of people were still gathered around police barriers (some holding their dogs), taking photos and videos of the smoldering building, while water cannons were intermittently shot at both the north and south facades. It's a misty night and, through the haze, the building, which was lit by floodlights, appeared to be burnt to a crisp. From the south side, two fires were still flaring at what looked like about the 15th and 30th floors.Seven firefighters were reported injured, one fatally from smoke inhalation. The event took on a surreal air as the night wore on. Chen added:
Maybe it's our cynicism--or boredom--that makes us (or some of us, at least) want to aestheticize such things, but the scene was eerily beautiful. You wonder what Rem's take on this would have been had he been there, especially if it wasn't his building.
CCTV Hotel Ablaze (UPDATE)
The Office for Metropolitan Architecture has learned that there has been a serious fire at the Television Cultural Centre (TVCC), the building adjacent to the headquarters of China Central Television (CCTV). The TVCC building was due to open in mid-May and contained a hotel, a theatre, and several studios. As we learn more about this tragedy, we will advise the public further.In a podcast on the Times's website, reporter Andrew Jacobs essentially ruled out the fireworks thesis he initially posited on the paper's website, as well as surmising that the building was almost certainly damaged beyond repair. He also said the fire was creating quite a psychic stir in the city:
I think it's very symbolic for Beijingers as an architectural pair. And then the other kind of layer that is the fact that it's happened on the last day of the New Year. The fire's still burning, and it's just about midnight here, so ringing in the new year with this kind of disaster is very inauspicious, at least in the view of many Chinese. A lot of people in the crowd couldn't help note that and this was just not a good omen for the new year.He also questioned the Beijing fire department's ability to fight high-rise fires, though as we've noted above, that is even a difficult proposition here in New York. The Times is also reporting now that the fire is believed to have started around 8:30 p.m. local time, though possibly as early as 7:45 p.m. Bloomberg is reporting a representative for Mandarin Oriental--the operator of the 241-room, 522-foot tall hotel--saying that no one was injured. The AP quotes a gloomy OMAer at the site:
Erik Amir a senior architect at building designers OMA said the fire had destroyed years of hard work. "It really has been a rough 6-7 years for architects who worked on this project," said Amir, who rushed to the site after hearing of the fire. "I think it's really sad that this building is destroyed before it can be opened to the public," he said.UPDATE 2: AN contributer Aric Chen reports. UPDATE 3: Little new news thus far, though people continue to push the fireworks allegations, including the Washington Post. Its report does include a good deal of news from the state news agency, chinanews.com, including that there are still no confirmed casualties, though seven firefighters have been hospitalized. The Post also reports that while fireworks are normally illegal in downtown Beijing, a reprieve was given for this year's New Years celebrations, though no explanation is given as to why this year was any different than those in the past. The Post also carried this rather poetic firsthand account:
"The building was like an oven, red inside," said Hu Jing, a 26-year-old paralegal who works in a building opposite the CCTV tower and noticed it burning just after 8:30. "In less than twenty minutes, the fire had engulfed half the building. Within half an hour, all of it was on fire. I thought, there goes billions of dollars, just burning."Jeff Manaugh of BLDGBLOG airs an idea we'd been thinking of for much of the day, as well, that this was the rather literal pop of the construction bubble that has patronized architects, for better or worse, over the past few years:
Amongst many, many signs that the building boom has come to an end, from gridlocks of cars abandoned at the Dubai airport by fleeing workers to massive holes in the urban surface of Chicago, to entire architectural firms going out of business, to delayed towers and theme parks on pause, none seem quite as explicitly apocalyptic as the sight of OMA's CCTV complex – that is, the part of it known as TVCC, containing a luxury hotel – roaring with flames.We still think it was the crane accidents last year that signalled the end, but this certainly comes in a close second. And LA Times architecture critic Christopher Hawthorne makes two interesting points on the paper's arts blog:
The architectural composition of the complex as a whole -- which I toured with Scheeren over the summer, and which I argued in a year-end piece "already ranks as the most significant piece of architecture of our young century" -- depends on the shorter hotel tower, which is known as TVCC. It is the hotel, in fact, that helps give the main tower its strange, shifting sense of scale. From certain angles the smaller section -- no shrimp itself at 34 stories tall -- looks like the tail of the big tower's dragon, from others like a fleeing creature about to be devoured by the CCTV's gaping mouth. [...] Potent symbolism aside, though, I'd be very surprised if the hotel weren't instantly rebuilt. The Chinese leadership has understood the graphic power of the CCTV complex -- the way it suggests a modern, ambitious and innovative new China -- from the earliest stages, and it seems highly unlikely it would allow the charred remains of the hotel to stand for any extended period. This is particularly true given Chinese sensitivity around the idea that its economy is rapidly losing steam. So there's likely to be no drawn-out, painstaking investigation of the wreckage by some Chinese version of the FBI or ATF. As soon as the last ember is out, I'd guess, the bulldozers will be clearing the site to begin again. Even in a global slowdown -- perhaps especially in one -- construction in China can operate at lightning speed.UPDATE 4: Agence France Presse is reporting that one of the seven injured firefighters died in the hospital tonight: "Zhang Jianyong died early on Tuesday morning at a hospital in Beijing from toxic gases he inhaled while fighting the fire, Xinhua said, citing the city's fire control authorities." The Chinese authorities are now also suggesting fireworks, and not workers, may be to blame for the fire:
The official news agency quoted a city government spokesman as saying initial reports indicated firecrackers set off to celebrate the Lunar New Year, China's most important annual festival, has caused the fire. Firefighters found remnants of firecrackers on the roof of the burning building, Xinhua said. The agency had earlier quoted a witness saying the blaze appeared to have been sparked after fireworks landed on top of the hotel building.According to the AP, the fire was put out "early Tuesday morning. And with the sad and happy news that the fire has been extinguished, it is hopefully time to build again. I can't help but think about a conversation I had earlier today with Alan. I asked if this was really as big of news as it seemed, or if we were simply particularly attuned to it because some big-name architect was involved. Would this still be making all the front pages were it just some regular old building, one in which almost no one was hurt? Of course not, Alan replied. Just look at The Huffington Post, he said, where the headline screams, "Rem Koolhaas Tower In Beijing Goes Up In Flames." Design hasn't been so notable since Philip Johnson was on the cover of Time. Just look at some of the 225 (225!) comments on HuffPo:
- This is terrible for the people injured and Rem Koolhaas who is the consummate professional architect.
- Holy balls that looks insane.
- Notice how it did not collapse like WTC #7 which was the same size. Thats because it was brought down with demolitions. On BBC and CNN they said it had collapsed but it was still standing and not 'pulled' yet. More proof 9-11 was an inside job and that demolitions had been set up in the towers for weeks. Unbelievable the media establishment is afraid to tackle this...or is it?
- this must be a testament to the extremely high building standards they have in china, just like the high standards they maintain for food, drugs, manufacturing, environmental and agriculture.and to think that's where some are planning to send the last american manufacturing jobs while the 'brainier' jobs go to india.
It was really gut-wrenching to see TVCC burn like that, itself like a firecracker. I woke up to read that one firefighter was killed in the blaze and several others injured. The Chinese media are so far not even reporting it. According to Shanghaiist.com, a notice was sent to all major organizations by the government to stop reporting the fire last night. As to the cause, a lot of people are speculating that it was caused by fireworks. There are three major firework nights during the Chinese New Year--one on the eve of Chinese New Year, one five days in, and the third was just last night, on the first full moon of the cycle. During the festival, people can buy July 4th-grade fireworks all over China, and fire them off, literally next to buildings, on roads, on sidewalks--they light them up just about anywhere. Of course the cause of the fire is still not known, and may not ever ascertained, since this matter is something that the Chinese government is going to be controlling very closely.UPDATE 6: Day Two round-up, including an apology from CCTV, whose fireworks celebration--rather ironically celebrating the new buildings--caused the fire; reports of a local media blackout on the issue; and some critical takes on the fire.

Energy bills are some of the largest household costs. But with some easy, everyday adjustments you can reduce what you use and save money.
We featured the top 10 energy saving tips in our latest customer magazine, Let's Talk. In case you missed them, here's a roundup.
1. Switch off standby
According to the Energy Saving Trust, you can save around £30 a year by turning your appliances off standby mode. You can turn almost all electrical appliances off at the plug without any problems. You may need to leave some satellite and digital TV recorders on standby if you record TV shows though.
2. Shrink your bills, not your clothes
90% of a washing machine's energy expenditure is spent on heating the water for your wash. Washing your clothes at a lower temperature will help reduce your electricity bill.
3. Use the sun
If you have south-facing windows, make sure you open your curtains in the morning on a sunny day. This will allow more light, and heat into your home. Remember to close them again at night, or you'll lose all that extra heat!
4. Hang out the washing
Drying clothes outside on a line is much cheaper than using a costly tumble dryer on a sunny day.
5. Turn that thermostat down
Turning your thermostat down even by 1° can save you up to 10% a year on your energy bills.
6. Shorter showers
An electric shower is one of the most expensive appliances to run in any household. Even if you only reduce your shower time by one minute, this can add up to big savings over the year.
7. Draught proofing
Most homes lose heat through draughts around doors and windows or gaps around the floor. A few DIY draught-proofing measures will make sure heat lasts longer. Try draught excluders on the doors and filling cracks in floors and skirting boards.
8. Buying a new appliance? Check the energy label
If you're buying a new appliance such as a washing machine or a vacuum cleaner, look for the energy efficiency rating. Energy labels show annual energy consumption, which helps you understand how cost efficient it will be to use.
Remember, if you need a loan for a new household appliance, we may be able to help. We look at applications on an individual basis, taking into account your personal circumstances. We'll consider you even if you have a less than perfect credit history.
9. Boil what you need
A kettle uses a lot of energy, so only boiling what you need (rather than a full kettle) can help reduce your bills. It also has the added bonus of boiling your water quicker!
10. Change your energy supplier
A report from Ofgem - the energy regulator - found that 57% of customers are still on expensive, standard tariffs. This means you could be paying hundreds of pounds a year more than you would on a competitive tariff. It's easy to find a deal and switch on a comparison website such as uSwitch. The best energy companies take care of everything for you.

Inflatable hair, zebra-striped pants, and more.
London may not have the biggest Fashion Week, or the most famous. But people there have a certain stiff upper lip je ne sais quoi. We know this is a bit of a Postcard departure, but here's a look at what was being worn on the other side of the pond:
