Beyond Walter Benjamin's Paris & Kenneth Goldsmith's New York
Why in our globalised twenty-first century the idea of a world capital city is passé. This essay examines the hypotheses promoted by Walter Benjamin's Arcades Project and Kenneth Goldsmith's response Capital: New York, capital of the 20th century, that Paris was the unofficial world capital city of the twentieth
century—a mantle inherited by New York—and declares the model unfit for purpose in the twenty-first. Despite an apparent recrudescence of the nation state, the capital city as power base looks increasingly like a tribal relic, as digital technology rewires humans and our shared fate is thrown into stark relief by one ecological disaster after another. With the inexorable spread of the urban, pockets of sustainable business practice and hipster lifestyles suggest global capitalism is mutating from the inside, lured by the promise of an acephalic future.
The Good Reader is a series that addresses reading, as both virtue and duty. The editor invites authors she considers to be good readers. She agrees with Nabokov that a good reader, a major reader, an active and creative reader, is a re-reader. Hampton's book is the seventh in the series to date.

Supplementing breast milk might make you think twice. You probably think that the supplementing is rather not so good habit and not really suitable for your baby's health. However, for some reasons, you cannot be able to avoid the supplementing. When you back to work, you could not provide enough breast milk for the baby or from some health issues on your part. If you do breast milk supplementing program, you should not worry about the results to your baby as the activity is perfectly safe. Supplementing your baby with formula will not do harm to him, though the best milk for your baby is still your breast milk.
Some Questions about Breast Milk Supplementing
First question is of course does the supplementing milk affect your milk supply? It depends on the amount of formula you give to the baby. Supplementing breast milk would not affect your milk supply if you give the formula only sparingly. On the other hand, if you give it regularly, even just a bottle a day, your breast milk supply will be affected.
Then, how to tell if your baby has enough breast milk? There are several signs if your baby has had enough breast milk. Firstly, the most obvious sign is that he will have plenty of soiled diapers. If he get enough milk, he will have to wet the diapers far more often. Secondly, he has weight increased ½ ounces a day for the first 3 month. Furthermore, he will want almost 24 hour nursing.
What are the signs if your baby needs supplement for breast milk? The most obvious sign if he needs supplemental breast milk is that your breasts do not feel empty (soft), even though your baby has just nurse on them. It means that he does not take enough milk. He also seldom changes the diapers on 24 hours and look lethargic. Furthermore, he often loses up to ten percent (compared to their birth weight).
When the right time to start the supplementing? Just wait at least a month old before you start giving formula to your baby. This waiting period is needed to support him in establishing a habit of breast feeding first, so an occasionally bottled formula won't ruin the nursing habits. Additionally, at his age, he most likely won't reject to try a bottled formula. However, if your baby is over a month old, you could give him formula, at practically anytime.
You may ask are there risks of mixing breast milk with formula? You are advised to not mix breast milk with formula. It will be a redundancy (in the part of your hard-earned breast milk) if your baby won't finish the milk. The wise way maybe to give him your breast milk first then you can give formula if the baby still looks hungry.
Furthermore, will supplement for breast milk affect your baby? Well, this supplementing may affect your nursing activities if you start to give your baby bottled formula regularly. He may prefer the bottled stuff because it could deliver the milk far quicker than your breasts. The baby also has longer full feeling compared if he gets breast milk. However, if he vomits after drinking formula and the vomit contain spots of blood, you should stop the supplementing breast milk. In this case, your baby might have milk intolerance.

through your breeze-blown
white hair, now, like a crisp closeup
in an art-house French film, framing
brilliant colors and motion—
Ochre-tinged, your hair.
A flannel-breeze, warm . . . salty.
Your face smooth, soft-camera . . . obscured.
A shadowed sun.
Yet I, alone, see beyond the shadow.
For, I've been within—
the details there
as mindful within me as by the hand
of a street artist's oil portrait, yes,
even as by a lover.
Here we are this time being,
between two distant orbs, sun and moon,
forever supernatural to our eyes.
Here we are on this blanketed,
hilltop pasture, so starkly green,
glowing like emerald—leprechaunish!
Uprooted, dirt clods along
wayfaring-sheep paths.
Rich brown clods
the color of a Nut Brown Ale or
a thick, malty Porter, and
the aroma of freshly-plowed earth.
The sheep a dirty hue of eggshells with,
always, always, the few of black.
Clouds are gathering now, pillowy-white,
with shadows.
The quilt spread out beneath us,
threaded so carefully by you
with squared patches of
our wanderings, soft,
puffed patches of
our life together, the rough,
at times harsh, land beneath.
Here we are this time being, on this quilt.
We enjoy apples, crisp and juicy sweet,
Italian bread, with herbs and garlic,
sausages, succulent, and salty like the sea.
Like the sea, not so far from here—
We were there, as well, many times,
the gritty sand, molecular; the waves
transforming it to a cool, wet, smooth
walkway where our footprints appeared,
then were washed away.
But, those were other times—
Here on this pasture, on this quilt,
we share a bottle of Malbec,
a wine for the two
lowly commoners that we are, on this hilltop,
not so common to the outer world, perhaps,
but mates each to the other.
No children. By fate. Just one lovely, young niece.
We traveled on affordable whims,
through the seasons and to other regions,
and atop our own land, as well.
This morning sun through your breeze-blown hair,
like a talisman protecting a knight on his journey home,
emboldening him. Yellow-orange, the light—étonnant!
Long, threadlike strands of now whitened and wisened hair.
The cool, soft and salty breeze.
The quilt-like threaded squares, painted canvasses
of our life together through time—
The lamp-lit, Paris evening along cobbled-streets;
the carefree walk along the rushing Moldau;
the Christmas festival in Zurich with
pastries and piping-hot cups of cocoa.
The Schnapps. The Fjords, guided by wind and sail,
and St. Petersburg by rail. Thoughts of Yuri and Lara.
The quilt to our niece, now, our one niece.
Our blessed past as a gift of our love,
with lessons to be learned in each thread.
"Shall I bring down the shade more?"
the nurse in white uniform
says to me, pleasantly.
"No," I plead. "A bit longer—please."
She pauses, I sense,
mindful of this moment,
casting into my teary and widened, hazel eyes.
"It will be lunch soon," she reminds me.
"Sausages today."
"Sausages?" I hear,
with wonder and a slight smile,
wiping my eyes with the white bedsheets.
"Did I tell you the story of–" I begin,
then fall uncomfortably silent.
"Sausages," I say.
Imagine that."
Morning has faded,
washed-away, it seems,
but the sunlight still shines through
that metallic-framed window,
with its tiny squares of mesh-wire
embedded in thick glass.
The ochre sun still passes through.
She adjusts and puffs
my white pillow, then pulls
my white sheets up,
comfortably for me,
just below my head and
my still-open eyes, then pauses again.
"You were a street painter once," she says.
"Your niece quite proudly showed me photo-books of each of them.
The originals were all nicely sold, I understand," she goes on, melodically.
You should be proud of your life—
and your well-tended gift," she adds.
"Imagine that," I say, one tear gently slipping,
spreading out like the wetness of seawater over
my sandy-like cheeks.
A thought appears of two footprints there—then not there.
Her shadowed face . . .
So lovely a soul—
my gift.
My eyes now moist, with
sleep washing over . . .
Washing over.

Hello Everyone,
We added support for Amazon S3 storage services recently to Hoopoe. Following the previous article with our general account details, we wanted to share with you a regular expression we use for validating S3 URL as sources of data and files.
You may find more information about S3 naming conventions and requirements in the manuals available from http://aws.amazon.com/s3.
When submitting a task to Hoopoe with input/output sources from Amazon S3, one must specify the S3 URL of the resource. A simple format for a resource can be:
With this example, the bucket of the user storing the object is called "test-bucket", and the file for input is "dir1/input.bin", called the key of the object (in the bucket).
This is a general form for S3 URL to make them accessible over the internet.
Regular Expression
We are using a regular expression to validate all Amazon S3 URLs with submitted tasks to Hoopoe.
In .NET (and general) manners, the RegEx is:
As you may see, the following limitations exist:
- For DNS compatibility, bucket names must be lower case and start with a letter or number
- In S3, and following DNS limitations, bucket names should not exceed 63 characters in length
- Object keys can be of variable length, must start with a valid character but can follow with other possible characters, also to denote paths (a file named: "dir/input.bin" is located under "dir" directory)
- In addition to the above, Hoopoe restricts S3 URL to be up to 256 characters in length
In case you find a mistake in the regular expression definition, whether possible URLs do not fit or it is permissive, please send us an email.
We also hope you may find this information useful for your own purposes.

We find that the government are establishing a Sanskrit school under Hindu pandits to impart such knowledge as is already current in India. This seminary (similar in character to those which existed in Europe before the time of Lord Bacon) can only be expected to load the minds of youth with grammatical niceties and meta physical distinctions of little or no practical use to the possessors or to society. The pupils will there acquire what was known two thousand years ago with the addition of vain and empty subtleties since then produced by speculative men such as is already commonly taught in all parts of India.Roy argued that the Government must, instead of perpetuating ignorance, establish a school which provides education in the European sciences:
If it had been intended to keep the British nation in ignorance of real knowledge, the Baconian philosophy would not have been allowed to displace the system of the schoolmen which was the best calculated to perpetuate ignorance. In the same manner the Sanskrit system of education would be the best calculated to keep this country in darkness, if such had been the policy of the British legislature. But as the improvement of the native population is the object of the government, it will consequently promote a more liberal and enlightened system of instruction, embracing mathematics, natural philosophy, chemistry, anatomy, with other useful sciences, which may be accomplished with the sums proposed by employing a few gentlemen of talent and learning educated in Europe and providing a college furnished with necessary books, instruments, and other apparatus.Now of course, I can already hear critics either launch ad hominem attacks on Raja Ram Mohan Roy, and/or frantically google for what M. S. Golwalkar or his tribe had to say about the man, and/or point out that we already have the kind of schools which Roy wanted the British Government to establish.
While I will have to let the ad hominem attackers and googlers go ahead and waste their time, the answer to the third critique is that we don't have the "few gentlemen of talent and learning" who understand how to impart that knowledge in Kannada without resorting to over-sanskritizing the terminology and thereby making the mother tongue of the people itself seem alien. The native population, whose improvement must ideally be the object of the government, is so deeply misunderstood by it that it thinks of Kannada, a Dravidian language, as some sort of a corrupt form of Sanskrit, with its ideologues still possessing the stupidity of calling linguistics as a pseudo-science.
Irrespective of what the BJP Government is doing today, and irrespective of the fact that it is incorrigible, I must point out that the best application of Kannadiga taxpayer money is in improving the Kannada medium education system. We can't afford to waste our money on useless parasites; there is a lot of innovation in Kannada which is in dire need of intellectual attention and monetary funding.

What do the stats on past Ryder Cups (and current Ryder Cup team members) tell us about what will unfold in 2016 at Hazeltine? Who has a competitive edge and who's the underdog? Get ready for a deep data dive.
Major championships won: U.S. 11, Europe 9. (U.S.: Mickelson 5, Z. Johnson 2, Spieth 2, D. Johnson, Walker. Europe: McIlroy 4, Kaymer 2, Willett, Stenson, Rose). This category is pretty close. Phil Mickelson versus Rory McIlroy is almost a wash; both teams have five players who have won majors. The Americans have two, Zach Johnson and Jordan Spieth, who have won a pair while Martin Kaymer is the only other European with two. Advantage: United States.
Wins this season: Europe 10, U.S. 9. (Europe: McIlroy 2, Stenson 2, Willett 2, Pieters, Fitzpatrick, Wood, Garcia. U.S.: D. Johnson 3, Spieth 2, Moore, Reed, Walker, Snedeker.) This one is pretty close, too, but it is a little shocking that half of the American squad hadn't won a tournament this season until Moore's 11th-hour addition. So each team has five players without wins this season. Advantage: Europe.
Career victories: Europe 119, U.S. 113. (Westwood 25, Garcia 20, McIlroy 18, Stenson 14, Rose 13, Kaymer 11, Willett 5, Pieters 3, Wood 3, Sullivan 3, Cabrera-Bello 2, Fitzpatrick 2. U.S.: Mickelson 42, D. Johnson 12, Z. Johnson 12, Snedeker 8, Spieth 8, Kuchar 7, Walker 6, Reed 5, Moore 5, Holmes 4, Fowler 3, Koepka 1.) If you remove Mickelson, you lose almost 40 percent of the American victories. The other 11 guys managed only 66 between them. The Europeans won a lot more hardware than the Americans. Advantage: Europe.
MORE: Who Will Win? | Bold Predictions
Fewest rookies: U.S. 2, Europe 6. Are rookies really a disadvantage? That is debatable. Willett counts as a rookie for Europe, and he's already won a Masters. Wood won the BMW PGA, a big-deal event in Europe, and Sullivan won three times in 2015. Fitzpatrick has two wins as a pro and snagged the U.S. Amateur title. So they're hardly inexperienced. But if you assume rookies are a liability, at least until they've got one session under their belts, then the numbers don't lie. Advantage: United States.
Home field advantage: The host team is 11-6-1 in Ryder Cups since '79. The home field advantage didn't help in 2012 in Chicago, where the Americans wasted a four-point lead going into singles play. But the Euros held serve, so to speak, when they got a chance two years ago in Scotland. Advantage: United States.
Winning Ryder Cup records: Europe 6, U.S. 4 (Europe: Westwood 20-15-6, Garcia 18-9-5, Rose 9-3-2, McIlroy 6-4-4, Stenson 5-4-2, Kaymer 4-3-2. U.S.: D.Johnson 4-3, Reed 3-0-1, Holmes 2-0-1, Spieth 2-1-1). It's no surprise that Europe has more players with winning records, given its dominance in the event. All six Ryder Cup veterans have winning marks for Europe. Dustin Johnson is the only American with a winning record who has played in more than one Cup. Advantage: Europe.
Ryder Cups played in: Europe 28, U.S. 26. (Europe: Westwood 9, Garcia 7, Kaymer 3, McIlroy 3, Stenson 3, Rose 3. U.S.: Mickelson 10, Z. Johnson 4, Kuchar 3, D. Johnson 2, Fowler 2, Reed, Spieth, Walker, Holmes.) This category ought to be a push. Europe has six rookies, but their other six players are savvy veterans, having played in at least three Cups each. Mickelson ties Nick Faldo this week with his 11th Ryder Cup appearance, the most of all time, but four Americans have played only one Cup. The numbers say Europe has more experience in total number of Cups played but the Americans' experience is more spread out. Advantage: Europe.
Ryder Cup matches played: Europe 121, U.S. 100. (Europe: Westwood 41, Garcia 32, McIlroy 14, Rose 14, Stenson 11, Kaymer 9. U.S.: Mickelson 41, Z. Johnson 14, Kuchar 11, Fowler 8, D. Johnson 7, Walker 5, Spieth 4, Reed 4, Holmes 3, Snedeker 3.) The six Euros played in an average of 20 Cup matches each while the 11 Americans competed in an average of 9 each. Remove Mickelson's total and the other 10 played an average of 6.1 matches. Advantage: Europe.
Winning side appearances: Europe 22, U.S. 3. (Europe: Westwood 7, Garcia 5, McIlroy 3, Kaymer 3, Stenson 2, Rose 2. U.S.: Mickelson 2, Holmes 1). Even more than match records, the number of times having played on the winning side shows just how dominant the Euros have been. Only two Americans have experienced a Ryder Cup victory while all six Euro veterans have enjoyed multiple wins. Does that count for anything? It can't hurt. Only McIlroy, Kaymer and Holmes are non-Ryder rookies who have never been on a losing side. Advantage: Europe.
Average world ranking: U.S. 17.1, Europe 27.3. (U.S.: D. Johnson 2, Spieth 4, Reed 8, Fowler 9, Mickelson 14, Kuchar 16, Walker 17, Holmes 21, Koepka 22, Snedeker 23, Z. Johnson 27. Europe: McIlroy 3, Stenson 5, Willett 10, Rose 11, Garcia 12, Cabrera-Bello 29, Wood 30, Pieters 39, Fitzpatrick 44, Westwood 45, Sullivan 48, Kaymer 52.) The Europeans' bottom six are much lower-ranked than the Americans. At the top, however, it's pretty even. The U.S. has four of the top nine ranked players in the world while Europe has five of the top 12. Each has two of the top five. The numbers give the edge to the U.S. but remember, only eight players compete in the team sessions the first two days. Advantage: United States.
Fourballs play since 1979 (expanded to include all of Europe): Europe 79, U.S. 66. While 13 points looks like a lot, it's an average of less than one point per Cup over 18 Ryder Cups. Europe has really piled it on during its run of dominance. Advantage: Europe.
Foursomes play since 1979: Europe 77, U.S. 67. The same goes for foursomes—or alternate-shot format as Americans prefer to call it. Ten points in 18 matches is half a point difference per Cup. Paper-thin. Advantage: Europe.
Singles play since 1979: U.S. 113.5, Europe 102.5. During America's heyday, the U.S. could always count on a big rally in singles, where they had superior depth. That quit being true once the matches expanded beyond the Great Britain & Ireland team to include Europe. Now, it's clear that Europe dominates in every format. In this century, in which Europe has won six of seven Cups, Europe holds a 48-36 edge in singles matches. Advantage: Europe.
Top 50 in putting statistics: U.S. 11, Europe 6. This could be important since putting is the biggest part of the matches. You may be surprised to know that Dustin Johnson ranked third in putts per green hit in regulation going into the Tour Championship. Seven U.S. members rank among the PGA Tour's top 26 in putting stats (including No.-1 ranked Spieth) while only one, Willett, is among the top 20 in Europe and five Euros rank outside the top 100. For once, the U.S. should have an edge on the greens. Advantage: United States.
Top 40 greens hit in regulation: Europe 7, U.S. 1. The Americans may have an edge in distance with Johnson and Holmes but the stats say Europe has better iron players. Stenson would rank No. 1 on the PGA Tour in greens hit in regulation if he'd played the minimum number of rounds to qualify, while Cabrera-Bello ranks seventh and Garcia ninth. Fowler, ranked 16th, is the only U.S. member in the top 40 in this category. Advantage: Europe.
Overall Advantage: Europe.

Today has been slow. Agonizingly slow. Slow to wake up, slow to get up, slow to move, slow to think, slow to speak.
I have not been able to work yet today, but my boss does not know this since I work from home. I do what I can , when I can, and somehow it all gets done. When they don't hear from me, they assume I am crazy busy. Not just crazy.
I hate that I can't share my struggle with my boss and coworkers. But I know that I can't. Another coworker is struggling to recover from surgery to remove endometriosis. We all know the details and have taken some of her chores to lighten her load. Another coworker just returned from maternity leave and has shortened hours. Another coworker has just had shoulder surgery and can only type 1 handed, her load is reduced. We all know these facts and jump in to help out.
No one knows I can barely sleep all night, that I struggle to rub 2 thoughts together, that I sit in a foggy haze all morning, that I can't understand the request in the email even though I read it a zillion times. I can't share that I have depression and still have them treat me with respect. Hell, I may even lose my job. If I ever make a mistake, and I do, they wouldn't just brush it off, they'd blame my depression.
But the good and honest part of me feels like I am lying to withhold this information. I blame the kids for keeping me up all night, that's why I sound sleepy in the teleconference. I blame the cable outage for losing my documents. I blame my busy schedule for missing meetings, not admitting I just forgot.
They picture me as a supermom, running around like crazy, getting everything done, and squeezing in my work on top of it. They don't know that most days I have only managed to do the work, there was nothing else.
And then they praise me. What? seriously? Yes, they think I am brilliant, creative, hard working, responsible. Well, I am all of those things, but it is hard to accept compliments when I feel like I am barely doing the minimum requirements. But, even with my struggles, I get things done that others do not. I wonder if they have hidden struggles too?
A coworker was given a project in November, checked on her progress last week, and she had not even started it and never told anyone. I was shocked. They gave the project to me – they know I will do it. I started it, but the tedium is wearing on me, and it sits untouched most days. But I presented the part I had started in the last meeting, and got oohed and ahhed. They love it. They will wait for it. I could have it all done today if I could just focus. But I can't focus, so it takes weeks, and then I get praised for putting in so much time.
The world is messed up. I just have to shake my head in amazement. But I can play the game for now.

Indentured servitude. No baths or showers. Public punishments. Welcome to daily life in the year 1628!
Think colonial life was all about pious Pilgrims, powdered wigs and freedom for all? Think again! Two dozen modern-day time travelers find out the hard way what early American colonial life was really like when they take up residence in COLONIAL HOUSE, public television's latest hands-on history series from the producers of FRONTIER HOUSE, MANOR HOUSE, and the Peabody Award-winning THE 1900 HOUSE.
Our intrepid adventurers -- men, women, and children from across the U.S. and the U.K. -- arrived in their New World on a period tall ship and struggled to create a functioning and profitable colony, like those of America's first settlers, using only the tools and technology of the era.
"Researching this era, we were surprised -- and viewers will be surprised -- at the misconceptions about our colonial roots," said Beth Hoppe, executive producer for Thirteen. "History often paints a drab picture of our forebears, but they would fit into modern day America better than one might think. From wearing bright-colored clothing and consuming large amounts of alcohol to testing the laws of the era, early colonists were a vibrant group of individuals."
The colonists used only the tools and technology of the era.
Residing in a 17th-century environment cultivated from extensive research, the colonists negotiate personal and communal challenges as they deal with the demoralizing weather, rustic living conditions and backbreaking labor. Among the points of dissension that arise in the colony are: the rigid class and gender roles, mandatory religious observance, and the puritanical civil laws of the era, particularly those pertaining to profanity.
"Not only does COLONIAL HOUSE capture the drama of everyday life in a small colony but it also shows how ordinary people cope -- or in many cases, don't cope -- when removed from all that is familiar and comforting to them in the modern world," said series producer Sallie Clement. "Our disparate group of colonists were catapulted into a life that demanded they set aside their many differences for the sake of survival."
COLONIAL HOUSE is a co-production of Thirteen/WNET New York and Wall To Wall Television in association with Channel 4 (U.K.). Executive producers are Beth Hoppe at Thirteen and Leanne Klein at Wall To Wall. Series producer is Sallie Clement. Executive in charge is William R. Grant at Thirteen.
The entire eight-part COLONIAL HOUSE series is available on

The Year Without a Summer by GS Wiley
Publisher: Dreamspinner Press
Genre: Historical
Length: Short Story (60 pgs)
Other: M/M, Anal Sex
Rating: 5 cherries
Reviewed by Cactus
Lieutenant Robert Pierce of the Royal Navy was raised in the shadow of his father, a great admiral, and has spent his life on the high seas fighting the ships of Napoelon Bonaparte. When he loses a leg in battle and is confined to land, Robert is devastated. Taken in by his sister Maria, Robert faces the infamously cold, wet summer of 1816 trying to adjust to his new life. It's made all the gloomier by his worry for his best friend and lover, Lieutenant John Burgess, who is still at sea... until a visitor brings a bright ray of sunshine into Robert's overcast life.
When life seems at its bleakest, a sudden visit gives Robert hope. Robert is struggling with the constant rain and chilly weather that seem to be endless. Recovering from an injury that took Robert's left leg and his military career, he wonders what possible life he can have. Although his kind sister attempts to bring him back to life, Robert longs for the best friend and lover still at sea and an unexpected visit gives Robert some much-needed hope.
This beautifully written and moving story is as romantic as it is bittersweet. Robert is a haunting character as he struggles to find his place in the world without his military career and no longer able to indulge his love of the sea. Robert's struggle is incredibly touching as he remembers how he and John first met, became physical, and ultimately fell in love. Now Robert wonders what will become of their love, if John will move on or remember Robert at all. Likewise the reader is left to wonder what will happen between the two even as their love story is given piece by piece.
Mostly told in flashbacks, Robert remembers his past and wonders about his future. The tone is sweet but with an air of tragedy. The characters are truly wonderful and show a side of romance that is often overlooked or ignored. Here the story is not afraid to show despair, unhappiness, and above all an uncertain future. Robert is given no clear cut happy ending nor does he get to ride off into the sunset with the love of his life. Instead he wonders what will happen to his love with John, if it can survive and more importantly if Robert can survive without it. The questions are honest and deeply emotional, poignant in an incredibly romantic way.
Although the story doesn't have a traditional happy ending, there is a thread of hope wound through the entire story. It's not always obvious and the author gives glimpses only to hide them again but the ending is hopeful. For those readers that enjoy romance stories off the beaten path and a little bittersweet, The Year Without a Summer completely delivers. It may not have a happy ever after right now, but it is filled with romance, love, and hope.

New Year's resolution: Improving paid search campaigns - Part 2
Andrea van Eugen from AdPrecision continues her tips for New Year resolutions in PPC:
Part 1 here
Top tips:
- Concentrate on specific ads with price points, stock availability, deliver messages in.
- Don't be afraid to use negative and specific matches on search terms.
- Try to move away from generic searches – they simply eat into the budget.
- Use a memorable domain name.
- Make sure landing pages are as relevant to the search query as you can with easy navigation links and a "bookmark me" option for customer retention.
- Track and compare results, maybe pause a campaign for a month and test a new one.
- Explore new search engines. 2007 promises to be a competitive year with all search engines wanting a share of campaign budgets.
- Optimise, optimise, optimise.
Generic searches lack quality and will eat into any budget very quickly. So how is it possible to create enhanced search performance results? Simply by utilizing your existing data feed.
Convert all of your products, including misspellings into highly relevant ads – as if written by hand. All fields in your feed can easily be incorporated into keywords and produce seemingly limitless variations that will reduce your CPA and lower the average CPC.

Prayers get answered.
If you look diligently for something then you need to get prepared when it's right in front of your face.
The Miami Dolphins have been attempting to find ways to make their offense click for the last three years. This year though was the final straw for many of their fans. The philosophy and the game plan of their former head coach Joe Philbin was to let quarterback Ryan Tannehill throw his way into the playoffs. After a 6-10 finish, another missed year out of playoff contention, and two more fired coaches later, we've seen that the evidence shows that having Tannehill air it out all the time won't work. Instead, in the second half of the season, the Dolphins were a much better team when they let their ground game be the catalyst for their offense.
One Play Could Change Everything
The fact that Miami finished with a 6-10 record is terrible. There's no other way to say it. The Dolphins should've had a better result for all of the investments they put inside of the stadium, coaching staff, and roster.
The good news is when free agency comes around Miami will have a number of targets to sign in order to help their team win. One of the names that has been floating around on Miami's radar is none other than Matt Forte. A two-time Pro Bowl selection with the Chicago Bears, Forte has been a game changer at the elite level for a while in the NFL.
#Bears fans thank you, @MattForte22 pic.twitter.com/LlURm8SKp3
— Aldo Soto (@AldoSoto21) February 13, 2016
However, because the Bears are beginning a rebuild for their team and Forte's contract didn't make sense with the direction of the team, it only left their management (including Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Pace) with one decision, to let him walk.
"These decisions are never easy, especially given what Matt has meant to our team and community. We have a tremendous amount of respect for him. Matt is one of the all-time great Bears and did an excellent job for us on and off the field last season. He was a tremendous teammate."
– Ryan Pace
Forte went from being one of the faces of the organization into a second-hand player and that's the cold reality of the NFL. The good news is because the Miami Dolphins are starting to change their philosophy, it means they should be one of the first teams giving Matt Forte a phone call.
The Dolphins are a better team when they run the ball and having a dynamic running back like Forte on their team could be a huge addition. Lamar Miller is still in the prime of his career. In spite of missing his normal 1,000-yard season, Miller is still a running back in the league who's feared to take it to the house when it touches the rock. Miller last season for a 6-10 roster had 872 yards while only toting the rock 194 times. The last time Miller had at least 200 carries in a season he had his only 1,000 yard season.
On a team that needs to feature running the football more, having a strong running back like Forte could be the difference between having an 8-8 year or 10-6 one.
What's unique about Forte is that he's similar in skill set to Lamar Miller but he's still quite different. Forte has the ability like Miller to catch the football out of the backfield. Unlike Miller, he's also built for the battle in between the trenches. Forte's not afraid of going up the middle time and time again for the tough yards to move the chains. On third down, the Dolphins have got to get the football out of Tannehill's hands and start using the playbooks of teams like the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers, and star featuring running the football.
Both of those two teams were in the Super Bowl, so their plan can't be too wrong.

Businesses miss identity and access management value
Many European businesses are failing to get value out of investments in identity and access management technologies because projects are not governed properly, according toanalyst firm Gartner.
Many European businesses are failing to get value out of investments in identity and access management technologies because projects are not governed properly, according toanalyst firm Gartner.
Organisations continue to deploy these technologies without mature identity and access management (IAM) programmes in place, according to Gartner analyst Ant Allen.
The business value of investing in strategic management activities is one of the topics Ant Allen is to cover in a keynote presentation at the two-day Gartner IAM Summit starting in London today.
IAM tends to be regarded as a security infrastructure project, but needs a dedicated governance programme if it is to succeed, said Allen. This is because it touches so many different parts of the business, he said.
Unlike most other IT projects, he said IAM involves process change. Ithas a direct impact on business units across an organisation, involving several stakeholders such as compliance officers.
"Without the right governance structure and the right participation of these stakeholders in the IAM programme management team, you are not going to get as much value," he said.
According to Allen, the longer term benefits of IAM will be realised only if there is a high level of communication between the business and IT.However,this is still lacking in many organisations, he said.
This is also one of the main reasons he said IT is failing to make business understand the importance of investing in an IAM programme, as well as the products from suppliers.
"Key to theIAM project is the attainment of executive sponsorship and the implementation of a cross-organisational project team," he said.

Latta, Welch Introduce Bipartisan SMART IoT Act
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman Bob Latta (R-OH) and Congressman Peter Welch (D-VT) have introduced H.R. 6032, the SMART IoT Act, which directs the Secretary of Commerce to conduct a study on the state of the internet-connected device industry. According to one study, Internet of Things (IoT) applications are estimated to have a $11.1 trillion global economic impact by the year 2025. The Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Digital Commerce and Consumer Protection, which is chaired by Congressman Latta, held a legislative hearing recently on the bill.
"The Internet of Things holds tremendous potential, both economically and in terms of quality-of-life," said Latta. "I've talked with small businesses, manufacturers, and farmers around my district that are utilizing IoT to be more productive, efficient, and safe. With this emerging cutting-edge technology, it's important that we identify opportunities and potential obstacles to IoT's implementation. The SMART IoT Act is the result of collaboration between myself and Congressman Welch, along with other members of the Energy and Commerce Committee, to ensure we take the right approach to IoT policy going forward."
"The Internet of Things is changing our lives in countless ways, from increasing household energy efficiency to improving health outcomes in rural America to increasing output on dairy farms," said Welch.

I know many of you are disappointed to find out that some of these tutorials are confusing or/and useless. They do not work.
Don't worry or be angry.
Let me show you a simple and workable way to embed subtitles permanently to videos or movies.
I have tried it myself and it works perfectly.
Let's get started...
Besides having your video file and the subtitles file on your computer, you need to download a free tool called MKVToolNix GUI.
This software will help you to mix the video and the subtitles together easily.
Download software MKVToolNix GUI
1. You have to download the free tools called MKVToolNix.
2. Click here to download and install it onto your PC.
3. After you have successfully installed it, click on MKVToolNix GUI.
4. Immediately you will see the MKVToolNix GUI interface. (see visual below)
5. First, click on "Add source files" button which is at the bottom of the interface.
6. A box will pop up.
7. Select the video/movie file and click on it.
8. Then click the "Open" button.
9. Instantly you can see two rows of information about the audio and video. (see visual below)
11. This time, you select the subtitles file.
12. Click on the subtitles file.
13. Then click on the "Open" button.
14. Again instantly you can see a row of information of the subtitles right below the audio and video file details. Now there are three rows of information. (See visual below)
15. Then you need to select where you want to save this newly created file.
16. Click on the icon next to "Destination file". (see visual below)
17. A box pops up. If you want to change the place where you want to save your newly-created file, you can delete away the details at "Destination file:".
18. Then select where you want to save the file. (Desktop, Libraries, etc.)
19. Click on your option.
20. Type a name of the movie video in the box next to "File name:". (see visual below)
21. Click the "Save" button.
22. Finally click on the "Start multiplexing" button below.
23. You can see the small start icon (triangle inside a circle) drifting left towards the "Job output" icon.
24. Click on the "Job output" icon and you can see the green color band lengthening.
25. It is multiplexing in process.
26. In other words, the tool is embedding the subtitles to the movie clip.
27. The process will complete once it indicates "100%" next to the green color band.
29. Now you can the movie thumbnail together with the small sized VLC orange color cone logo.
28. That's all. Enjoy your movies...
Note: Here are two sites where you can get a good list of subtitles in different languages.
Subscene and Opensubtitles.

Mortgage Choice in Cheltenham
Starting from
Comparison rate
Mortgage Choice has been one of Australia's leading mortgage brokers since way back in 1992. We've built our business around always putting our customer's needs FIRST, meticulous attention to detail, open lines of communication at all times and a genuine care for each individual client.
Our fully qualified and experienced team of mortgage brokers would love to assist with all of your home loan related challenges and goals - and best of all, you won't pay us for our services (we are paid by the lenders).
We'll search through hundreds of different loan options from more than 20 of Australia's largest banks and lenders to find the one that best suits YOU.
Our primary goal and motivation is to track down and secure the most suitable home loan for your individual needs and preferences. We'll be by your side from start to finish - negotiating hard with the lenders to lock in a great home loan deal for you.
Let's break down the steps involved in securing your ideal home loan:
The first step is for us to learn a bit more about you, including your current circumstances, any preferences you may have and your goals for the future.
We can catch up face to face at our office in Cheltenham, Port Melbourne or any other location of your choice throughout Melbourne.
Simply click on the orange "contact us" button up the top of this page or give us a call on 03 9585 7779 to arrange a meeting. There's no charge or obligation involved in meeting with one of our fully qualified and experienced mortgage brokers - we'd be happy to catch up for a chat.
Based on our initial discussion with you, we'll then roll up our sleeves and get to work. Taking your unique set of circumstances and goals into consideration we will search far and wide to identify the most suitable home loan options for you (from our extensive panel of lenders).
Loan selection is not as simple as locking in the one with the lowest interest rate or fees. Of course, they are important elements, but there's many other considerations that can be just as crucial to you - now and into the future.
That's the advantage of engaging a good mortgage broker - we sort through all of those things for you. We know and understand the Australian home loan marketplace back to front, so once we get to know you a little better, we'll be able to pinpoint the exact loan options and features that are going to serve you best.
As soon as we have identified your best loan options, we'll then present them to you to make the final decision (you're always in charge).
Then it's time for us to prepare your loan application, negotiate with your chosen lender, gather all the necessary paperwork and do any other "legwork" that is required to get your loan settled. We'll be there for you throughout this entire process to ensure everything progresses as it should (we've got a great loan progress team working behind the scenes to help things run smoothly).
Here's a bit of an overview of the home loan application process. It outlines the steps involved and approximate timelines you should expect - Home Loan Application Process.
Take some of our interactive home loan calculators for a drive, they will help you to discover:
In addition to providing industry leading home loan advice we also offer a wide range of financial solutions to help you protect and reach your financial goals.
We have a dedicated financial adviser on staff who is ready to assist - Jeff Morel.
Jeff can help you with Personal Insurance, Investment Planning, Wealth Creation, Superannuation, Rollover Advice, Tax Strategies and Retirement Planning.
We also offer vehicle loans, equipment finance, car loans, commercial loans, business loans, income protection, life insurance and general insurance.
Give us a call on 03 9585 7779 or contact us through the orange "contact" button up the top of this page for further information about any of these services - we'd be happy to hear from you.
You can learn all about our origins, history, consumer protection initiatives and the long list of industry awards we have collected here.
While industry awards and recognition are certainly nice to receive, they are not what drive us and motivate us as we get to work each day - the satisfaction level of our clients provide us with all the motivation we need.
There's only one thing left to do - get in touch with us.
If you'd like to organise a free, no obligation appointment with one of our mortgage brokers located throughout Melbourne (you can come to us, or we'll come to you) please click the orange "contact" button at the top of this page or simply give us a call on 03 9585 7779.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Our mission is to find the right home loan for your individual needs and to always have your best interests at heart. Plain and simple. Which is why we have such a wide range of lenders to choose from. We can search through hundreds of products to find something tailored to your situation. ~

Breast Reconstruction Houston
Breast Reconstruction Overview
Breast reconstruction after a mastectomy can be an empowering choice. When challenged with the loss of a breast due to breast cancer or other disease, women today have a wider variety of treatments to choose from than ever before, including the popular breast reconstruction in Houston that helps women regain some of their sense of self.
The Timing of Your Surgery
Once you decide to move forward with your breast reconstruction in Houston and have been approved, you need to consider the timing of your surgery. There are two options for most patients.
- Immediate – When possible, women can undergo breast reconstruction at the same time as the mastectomy. This can spare cancer patients additional emotional turmoil and the need for a second surgery.
- Delayed – In some situations, delaying breast reconstruction surgery is preferred. Additional treatments, such as radiation therapy, may necessitate waiting. There is no time limit on when reconstruction surgery can be performed so it's acceptable to wait until you are sure this is a step you want to take.
The Types of Breast Reconstruction in Houston
At Texas Center for Breast & Body, we offer a number of breast reconstruction options and our surgical team can help you make the right decision based on your needs. First and foremost, Dr. Schusterman attempts to use as much of your natural skin as possible to create the best overall results from your reconstruction. This may also include the nipple and areola. However, much of this can depend on the location and size of your cancer.
Breast Implants and Tissue Expanders
When appropriate, an inflatable breast implant may be inserted behind the pectoral muscle. This temporary implant can then be expanded gradually to stretch out the skin and surrounding tissues so a new breast can be formed. Once the expander has reached the appropriate size, it is then removed and replaced with a long-term silicone breast implant filled with saline or soft silicone.
Your Own Tissues and Skin
If enough skin and tissue can be salvaged, our experienced surgeons may be able to completely reconstruct your breast using your own skin and tissue. In most cases, this skin and tissue may be harvested from the abdomen. This can be done microsurgically called the DIEP flap which drastically limits the damage to your abdominal wall.
Your Own Tissue Plus Implants
For patients who don't have enough fat and skin to move from other areas, a combination of your own tissue and breast implants can be used.
After going through breast reconstruction in Houston, Dr. Schusterman reconstructs the nipple. Once this area has healed, you will return for pigmentation of the nipple and areola area, which is done through a tattooing process. Colors are matched as closely to the other breast as possible.
The Breast Reconstruction Procedure
Regardless of which method is used to reconstruct your breasts, the overall process is relatively similar. For most patients, general anesthesia is used. The entire procedure can take anywhere from one to six hours, depending on the extent of the reconstruction and whether it can use implants or your own natural tissues. Implant reconstructions often require the use of tissue expanders, which requires a second surgery to remove the expanders and place the long-term implants in their place. On the other hand, natural tissue reconstructions can typically be completed in just one procedure.
The size of the incisions necessary for a breast reconstruction in Houston can vary depending on the type of work done, as well as the size and shape of the individual woman. During the course of the reconstruction surgery, our experienced surgeons evaluate the remaining tissues surrounding the breast area to ensure there are no abnormalities that need to be excised. Upon completing the surgery, drains may be placed for several days, after which they are removed in our office under local anasthesia.
The Recovery Process
Recovery time is dependent on which type of surgery you have performed. The tissue expander/implant process has a shorter recovery time from surgery but requires a two-step process. The DIEP flap breast reconstruction surgery requires a longer recovery time but uses your own tissue, which lessens the need for possible revisional surgery that is likely with an implant reconstruction in the long term. During your preoperative preparation process at Texas Center for Breast and Body, we ensure that you have all the information and instructions you need to have a successful outcome from your surgery.
Contact us to discuss the possibilities of breast reconstruction in Houston, particularly after a mastectomy.

Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
Mark A. Schusterman, MD, FACS
Although his research and development of microsurgical reconstruction techniques established his reputation, his knowledge and understanding of the human body and the challenges associated with aiding patients suffering with head and neck injuries as well as breast cancer patients has made Dr.Schusterman an award-winning plastic surgeon.
