- If the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful manner, you have the option to demand the restriction of the processing of your data in lieu of demanding the eradication of this data.
- If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend or claim legal entitlements, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its eradication.
- If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21 Sect. 1 GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – with the exception of their archiving – may be processed only subject to your consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal entitlements or to protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for important public interest reasons cited by the European Union or a member state of the EU.
Rejection of unsolicited e-mails
We herewith object to the use of contact information published in conjunction with the mandatory information to be provided in section "Information Required by Law" to send us promotional and information material that we have not expressly requested. The operators of this website and its pages reserve the express right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of promotional information, for instance via SPAM messages.
4. Recording of data on this website
Server log files
The provider of this website and its pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser communicates to us automatically. The information comprises:
- The type and version of browser used
- The used operating system
- Referrer URL
- The hostname of the accessing computer
- The time of the server inquiry
- The IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources.
This data is recorded on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the technically error free depiction and the optimization of the operator's website. In order to achieve this, server log files must be recorded.
Contact form
If you submit inquiries to us via our contact form, the information provided in the contact form as well as any contact information provided therein will be stored by us in order to handle your inquiry and in the event that we have further questions. We will not share this information without your consent.
The processing of these data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if your request is related to the execution of a contract or if it is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) or on your agreement (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO) if this has been requested.
The information you have entered into the contact form shall remain with us until you ask us to eradicate the data, revoke your consent to the archiving of data or if the purpose for which the information is being archived no longer exists (e.g. after we have concluded our response to your inquiry). This shall be without prejudice to any mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods.
Request by e-mail, telephone or fax
If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name, request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass these data on without your consent.
The processing of these data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if your request is related to the execution of a contract or if it is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Article 6 (1) a GDPR) and/or on our legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR), since we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing of requests addressed to us.
The data sent by you to us via contact requests remain with us until you request us to delete, revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses (e.g. after completion of your request). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
Processing of data (customer and contract data)
We collect, process and use personal data only to the extent necessary for the establishment, content organization or change of the legal relationship (data inventory). These actions are taken on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual actions. We collect, process and use personal data concerning the use of this website (usage data) only to the extent that this is necessary to make it possible for users to utilize the services and to bill for them.
The collected customer data shall be eradicated upon completion of the order or the termination of the business relationship. This shall be without prejudice to any statutory retention mandates.
Data transfer upon closing of contracts for services and digital content
We share personal data with third parties only if this is necessary in conjunction with the handling of the contract; for instance, with the financial institution tasked with the processing of payments.
Any further transfer of data shall not occur or shall only occur if you have expressly consented to the transfer. Any sharing of your data with third parties in the absence of your express consent, for instance for advertising purposes, shall not occur.
The basis for the processing of data is Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or for pre-contractual actions.
5. Newsletter
Newsletter data
If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on this website, we will need from you an e-mail address as well as information that allow us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and consent to the receipt of the newsletter. No further data shall be collected or shall be collected only on a voluntary basis. We shall use such data only for the sending of the requested information and shall not share such data with any third parties.
The processing of the information entered into the newsletter subscription form shall occur exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR). You may revoke the consent you have given to the archiving of data, the e-mail address and the use of this information for the sending of the newsletter at any time, for instance by clicking on the "Unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data processing transactions that have taken place to date.
The data deposited with us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter or the newsletter service provider and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored for other purposes with us remain unaffected.
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is indefinite. You may object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
This website uses CleverReach for the sending of newsletters. The provider is the CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Mühlenstr. 43, 26180 Rastede, Germany. CleverReach is a service that can be used to organize and analyse the sending of newsletters. The data you have entered for the purpose of subscribing to our newsletter (e.g. e-mail address) are stored on servers of CleverReach in Germany or in Ireland.
Newsletters we send out via CleverReach allow us to analyse the user patterns of our newsletter recipients. Among other things, in conjunction with this, it is possible how many recipients actually opened the newsletter e-mail and how often which link inside the newsletter has been clicked. With the assistance of a tool called Conversion Tracking, we can also determine whether an action that has been predefined in the newsletter actually occurred after the link was clicked (e.g. purchase of a product on this website). For more information on the data analysis services by CleverReach newsletters, please go to: https://www.cleverreach.com/en/features/reporting-tracking/.
The data is processed based on your consent (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR). You may revoke any consent you have given at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data processing transactions that have taken place prior to your revocation.
If you do not want to permit an analysis by CleverReach, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for you to do this in every newsletter message. Moreover, you can also unsubscribe from the newsletter right on the website.
The data deposited with us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter or the newsletter service provider and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored for other purposes with us remain unaffected.
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is indefinite. You may object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
For more details, please consult the Data Protection Provisions of CleverReach at: https://www.cleverreach.com/en/privacy-policy/.
Execution of a contract data processing agreement
We have entered into a contract data processing agreement with CleverReach and implement the strict provisions of the German data protection agencies to the fullest when using CleverReach.
6. Plug-ins and Tools
Google Web Fonts (local embedding)
This website uses so-called Web Fonts provided by Google to ensure the uniform use of fonts on this site. These Google fonts are locally installed so that a connection to Google's servers will not be established in conjunction with this application.
Google reCAPTCHA
We use "Google reCAPTCHA" (hereinafter referred to as "reCAPTCHA") on this website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to determine whether data entered on this website (e.g. information entered into a contact form) is being provided by a human user or by an automated program. To determine this, reCAPTCHA analyses the behaviour of the website visitors based on a variety of parameters. This analysis is triggered automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the site. For this analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates a variety of data (e.g. IP address, time the website visitor spent on the site or cursor movements initiated by the user). The data tracked during such analyses are forwarded to Google.
reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not alerted that an analysis is underway.
The data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. It is in the website operators legitimate interest, to protect the operator's web content against misuse by automated industrial espionage systems and against SPAM.
For more information about Google reCAPTCHA please refer to the Google Data Privacy Declaration and Terms Of Use under the following links: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en and https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=en.
7. Custom Services
Job Applications
We offer website visitors the opportunity to submit job applications to us (e.g. via e-mail, via postal services on by submitting the online job application form). Below, we will brief you on the scope, purpose and use of the personal data collected from you in conjunction with the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data will occur in compliance with the applicable data privacy rights and all other statutory provisions and that your data will always be treated as strictly confidential.
Scope and purpose of the collection of data
If you submit a job application to us, we will process any affiliated personal data (e.g. contact and communications data, application documents, notes taken during job interviews, etc.), if they are required to make a decision concerning the establishment or an employment relationship. The legal grounds for the aforementioned are § 26 New GDPR according to German Law (Negotiation of an Employment Relationship), Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. b GDPR (General Contract Negotiations) and – provided you have given us your consent – Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR. You may revoke any consent given at any time. Within our company, your personal data will only be shared with individuals who are involved in the processing of your job application.
If your job application should result in your recruitment, the data you have submitted will be archived on the grounds of § 26 New GDPR and Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship in our data processing system.
Data Archiving Period
If we are unable to make you a job offer or you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) for up to 6 months from the end of the application procedure (rejection or withdrawal of the application). Afterwards the data will be deleted, and the physical application documents will be destroyed. The storage serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the expiry of the 6-month period (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.
Longer storage may also take place if you have given your agreement (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR) or if statutory data retention requirements preclude the deletion.
8. Our social media appearances
Data processing through social networks
We maintain publicly available profiles in social networks. The individual social networks we use can be found below.
Social networks such as Facebook, Google+ etc. can generally analyse your user behaviour comprehensively if you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. like buttons or banner ads). When you visit our social media pages, numerous data protection-relevant processing operations are triggered. In detail:
If you are logged in to your social media account and visit our social media page, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. Under certain circumstances, your personal data may also be recorded if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data is collected, for example, via cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address.
Using the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which their preferences and interests are stored. This way you can see interest-based advertising inside and outside of your social media presence. If you have an account with the social network, interest-based advertising can be displayed on any device you are logged in to or have logged in to.
Please also note that we cannot retrace all processing operations on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. Details can be found in the terms of use and privacy policy of the respective social media portals.
Legal basis
Our social media appearances should ensure the widest possible presence on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on divergent legal bases to be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).
Responsibility and assertion of rights
If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g., Facebook), we, together with the operator of the social media platform, are responsible for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can in principle protect your rights (information, correction, deletion, limitation of processing, data portability and complaint) vis-à-vis us as well as vis-à-vis the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. Facebook).
Please note that despite the shared responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are determined by the company policy of the respective provider.
Storage time
The data collected directly from us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for their storage lapses, you ask us to delete it, you revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular, retention periods – remain unaffected.
We have no control over the storage duration of your data that are stored by the social network operators for their own purposes. For details, please contact the social network operators directly (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).
Individual social networks
We have a profile on Facebook. The provider is Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA. Facebook is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield.
You can customise your advertising settings independently in your user account. Click on the following link and log in: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads.

EXPEDITION CRUISES are one of the five types of small-ship cruises covered on QuirkyCruise.com.
Expedition cruises have a distinctive learning element and bring to mind a sense of adventure whether it's visiting remote peoples in the South Pacific or plying the Upper Amazon; looking for rare birds and exotic animals in the Galapagos Islands, along Australia's Kimberley Coast or in Central America; cruising amongst amazing and colorful ice formations in Antarctica and the Arctic; or encountering dramatic landscapes in Patagonia.
Here are some things that set expedition cruises apart:
- A team of trained experts gives talks aboard and leads active outings ashore.
- Expedition cruises are often longer than a cultural or scenic cruise, from 10 days to three weeks.
- Most expedition cruises require a certain level of fitness to get in and out of various landing craft when going ashore in remote places and also a degree of stamina to trek across ice, through rain forests, along rocky shorelines and so on.
- Typically they're expensive — many, not all, in the range of $500 to $1,000 USD per person a day — in part due to their length, the remoteness of the region, often requiring pricey flights, and because of the number of high-quality onboard experts and the logistics of operating remote shore explorations.

Jordan has announced that Drake is now a member of Team Jordan.
The brand made the announcement via Twitter.
Drake also posted images of Jordan shoes on Instagram. Some of the pairs he posted include the OVO logo on the bottom of the sneakers. His captions appear to note that the shoes are part of the OVO Stingray Pack, to be released via Jordan.
Nevertheless, details regarding Drake's involvement with Jordan have not been revealed.
Drake's involvement with Jordan coincides with the announcement of Kanye West's involvement with adidas. West, who has worked with NIKE in the past, has been confirmed as a part of the adidas family by the company, though details surrounding how West will be involved with the brand have also not been reported.
The social media posts can be found below.
He's home. Welcome the newest member of #TeamJordan: @Drake

If you have a podcast but no one is listening, does it really exist? Well, yes, it does. But is it helping you grow your brand, reach an audience, and, ultimately, sell more of your product or service?
The simple fact is that you need to have an audience to make your podcast worth the time, effort, and money you're putting into it. The larger your audience, the faster your growth, in many cases. Why? First, you'll be able to attract quality guests. Secondly, you'll be more likely to get high-quality sponsors. Finally, word-of-mouth is a great marketing tool. The more people listening to your show, the greater the chance that your content will be shared.
You need to grow your podcast audience. The question is, how do you do it? Read on for the top 30 ways to grow your audience.
First, the Basics
#1: Make your show the best it can possibly be.
Before you begin to grow your podcast audience, you need to have an excellent podcast. Sit back and take an objective look at what you currently have. If you're not putting enough time into the episodes, if you're inconsistent, if your interviews are boring or not well-planned, or if you're otherwise just not coming off as professional, then people will get frustrated and will stop listening. In the case of podcasting, it's worse to have a bad podcast than it is to have no podcast. If your self-assessment is showing you that you're just not hitting the mark, it might be better to take down what you have, clean it up, and start it up again when you're really ready put your all into it.
#2: Start with a great title.
What's in a name? Well, the name of your podcast needs to tell people what it's all about. If you were to choose something vague, lots of potential listeners could scroll right by it because they would have no idea what the podcast was about. As Income School points out, there are podcasts out there with non-descriptive, ambiguous names, but if they are doing well (and that's a big if!), it's likely because the host or a guest was already well-known. If you don't yet have a title for your show, think simple and clear.
#3: Make sure your equipment is up to snuff.
There's perhaps nothing more frustrating than listening to a podcast that's staticky, cutting in and out, warbled, too quiet, too tinny, or otherwise just sounding terrible. Even if a listener is extremely interested in your topic, any of these issues will prompt him or her to find something else to listen to. If you don't have the cash to spend on high-end equipment, don't worry; there is good podcasting equipment available for almost any budget.
#4: Use the right hosting.
Particularly if you're new to podcasting, but also if you're not, you need to find a hosting company that will help you troubleshoot and otherwise meet your needs. There are several popular companies; some cater to larger podcasts, while others are good for smaller ones. If your show's website is on WordPress, which most are, then we have to recommend you check out Seriously Simple Podcasting. With an integrated media hosting option you can manage your entire podcast without ever having to leave WordPress.
If you're not on WordPress then we have to recommend Simplecast as great alternatives for platform independent options.
#5: Consider making a YouTube video.
There will always be people who prefer to watch a video over downloading a podcast. Also, YouTube is an extremely popular platform that anyone can use easily on just about any type of device. You can leverage the power of YouTube as you work on your episodes.
When you record your podcasts, consider also uploading them onto YouTube (or use a platform that does this for you automatically). You can do this as an audio-only file or as a video. If the video is just you talking, it might not get many views, but if you are entertaining with your facial expressions or if you can otherwise add to the video podcast, that could increase your audience. You can also live stream your podcasts or create videos that add more information to your podcast episodes.
Appeal to Your Listeners
#6: Focus on a niche.
If you have a business, the logical choice might be to talk about that, but you're going to have to narrow it down somewhat. What, exactly, do you want to talk about? Will you bring your personal life into the podcast, and to what extent? Maybe you don't want to have a podcast about what you do for pay. If that's the case, what's your passion? Remember that this is going to be work, so you're going to need to choose a niche that you're interested in and that you'll continue to be interested in over the long haul. Check out this list of six questions to ask yourself to help you hone in on your niche.
#7: Know your audience.
While you're deciding on your niche, this is the perfect time to really think about your audience. How old is your ideal listener? What's their income level? What do they do for work? Do they have a spouse and/or children? What are their hobbies, passions, and goals? What do they expect to learn from your podcast? Knowing who your audience is will allow you to reach them most efficiently. And knowing who your audience is not will help you save time and avoid going down barren rabbit trails.
#8: Ask your listeners what they want to hear.
Brainstorming topics for your podcast can be a challenge, so why not let your audience help you out? During your podcast episodes, put out a call to action asking your listeners to suggest topics that they'd like to hear about. You can also put out a call for topics on your blog, in your email signature, on social media, and anywhere else you interact with people who might listen to your show.
#9: Keep track of what's being downloaded the most.
By being on top of your analytics, you can be aware of which episodes are getting the most hits. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that these are the episodes that are actually being listened to the most frequently, warns George Weiner on wholewhale.com. It merely gives you a place to begin when you need to make an educated guess as to what type of content your listeners want to hear more of.
#10: Be engaging and interesting.
If all it took to be engaging was the desire, then no one would have a podcast that went unheard. It's easier said than done, but make the effort to figure out what will engage your audience (you know exactly who they are, right?), and make a plan to integrate those interesting features into your episodes. Mix it up: Don't always interview the same type of people, don't always make it a monologue, and don't always cover the same topics or use the exact same format.
#11: Don't be afraid to experiment with edginess.
This tip should be taken with a grain of salt because not every audience or every topic lends itself well to edginess. If yours does, however, give it a try. Don't get too daring at first; a little taste of grit or surprise will go a long way. For most shows, you're going to want to keep it clean. If you're having trouble discerning where the boundary is, here's an article on cruising that fine line between edgy and unacceptable in marketing; you can apply the tips to your podcast.
Don't Go It Alone
#12: Learn how to network.
The more contacts you have, the greater chance you have to talk up your podcast. Even if the person you're speaking to isn't interested, he or she might run into someone who is, and they can pass the info along. Andrew Vest of Forbes.com suggests just being your natural self and focus on being friendly and open. Also, never discount anyone; talk to everyone from the cashier at the grocery store to the high-powered attorney on the treadmill next to you at the gym.
#13: Make friends with fellow podcasters.
Getting hooked up with other podcasters means that you have people to bounce ideas off of. You can also promote each other to enjoy some overlap when it comes to your audiences. For example, if your podcast is about marketing, chances are great that yours is not the only ones that your audience listens to. By collaborating with your friends who also have marketing podcasts, being guests on each other's shows, and recommending specific episodes to your respective audience, both of you will benefit from an increase in listeners. Now multiply that by two, five, ten, or twenty over time, and you've got yourself a nice group of new listeners.
#14: Get out and about.
You might wonder where you're going to meet these new podcasting friends. You can certainly contact people through the contact forms on their websites, but that's basically the same as cold calling. Consider attending a podcasting conference. This will give you the chance to mingle and network with podcasters while picking up some great tips on all facets of the craft.
Harness the Power of Being Social
#15: Experiment with different types of social media.
Okay, now it's time to talk about promotion. Social media is an amazing tool, as you already know. Don't be afraid to try platforms other than the ones you're currently using. Facebook and Twitter are great, of course, but don't forget about LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest, Snapchat, and Tumblr. You don't need an account on each of these, but consider who your audience is and where they are likely to spend most of their time online. Go to those platforms and concentrate on them.
#16: Don't forget to engage your social media followers.
Okay, you've got your profiles all set up, and you're posting along at a steady pace. But your social media marketing job is not done yet! The point of social media is engagement, so you need to engage with your followers. Like or respond to their comments. Answer their questions. Re-post material that they're posting. Have contests, ask questions, and look for suggestions. If you aren't engaging with your followers, they aren't going to continue to be interested in what you have to say.
#17: Build an amazing website.
Sure, anyone can slap together a free website and call it done. If you just need a simple blog, this can work for you. If you're just starting out and you're not ready to invest in a bells-and-whistles site, go ahead and set up something simple on your own. With sites like Squarespace and Weebly, you can make it look professional by keeping it neat and clean. Once you are able to, however, talk to an SEO company or a web designer about creating a user-friendly, optimized site to use to keep your audience coming back for more.
#18: Build a spectacular blog.
One of the most important parts of your website is going to be your blog. You can use it to write about topics that are coming up and topics that have already been covered on your podcast. If you've talked about something controversial on your show, you can use your blog to show the other side or to bolster your own side with more resources and evidence. Post photos and talk a little about yourself personally. This type of material will keep your readers coming back not only to read, but also to listen to your episodes.
Make It All Fit Together
#19: Repurpose your content.
If the thought of coming up with content for your website, blog, YouTube channel, social media, and podcast seems overwhelming, you're probably making it too complicated. Anything you post can be repurposed for any of your other platforms. For example, you already know that your podcast can be put up on YouTube for those who prefer watching a video. You can also turn it into a blog post and make it the subject of your social media posts for that week. Make your content work for more than one platform to appeal to more people and to make your life simpler.
#20: Include show notes, a transcript, or at least an episode description.
When you upload your podcast episodes, you'll want to have something available for people who want more information. At a bare minimum, you'll need an episode description. Make it a bit of a teaser so they'll be tempted to listen. Show notes, particularly those that are time-stamped, are a great way to keep listeners engaged. It also allows them to advance ahead to the topics they really wanted to hear about. At Podcast Motor, we can create show notes that pique your listeners' attention and keep them interested. A transcript is another good option that you can add to your site.
#21: Have a great CTA.
Once people listen to your show, what do you want them to do? Should they subscribe? Contact you for help that you can provide? Go to your website? Buy your book? Come back next Tuesday for the second part of the episode? It's important to have a call-to-action that inspires your listeners to take the next step, whatever that is.
#22: Come right out and ask for what you want early in your show.
This goes along with having a strong call-to-action, but it's not exactly the same thing. You don't want anything else you want from your readers to compete with your CTA, so if you have other requests, include them earlier in your podcast. For example, maybe you want your listeners to visit your guest's website. Mention that in the beginning of the show. If you want them to enter a contest that you're holding and you don't want that to be your CTA, then talk about it before the halfway point of the episode.
Consider These Best Practices
#23: Upload new episodes regularly.
It can be hard to keep up the momentum of uploading new episodes, but if you don't, your listeners will begin to fade away. Having a planned calendar can help. Pick a specific time during the course of your day, week, or month when you will record your show, then have a different time to edit, and a time to upload it. Plan your episodes in advance, and consider recording a week or two ahead of schedule so you can accommodate emergencies, equipment malfunctions, power outages, and the like.
#24: Plan episodes for when you'll be away.
You can go on vacation, but your podcast shouldn't if you are trying to build your audience. Recording ahead of time can eliminate any disruption. So can having a guest host on your show. You can even record a couple of non-time-sensitive episodes to plug in when you go on vacation. Just make sure you have something going up at your scheduled time to maintain consistency and your listeners' attention.
#25: Engage with your commenters.
Just like you do with your social media follower, make sure that you're engaging with anyone who is leaving comments on your show. Answer questions. If someone asks a great question that gives you an idea for a show topic, let them know that you'll get to it in a future episode. If you can, send them a quick email or tag them in the comments thread when you do get around to putting up that episode. One exception to the rule: Don't engage with trolls. It's best to just delete trollish comments as they come up. Not sure if you're dealing with a troll? Here are some tips.
Collaborate With Others
#26: Be on other people's podcasts.
Getting yourself a gig as a guest on someone else's podcast is a great way to boost your own audience. Your podcast will show up in their show notes, and some of their listeners will probably check out your show. There are some tips on pitching podcasters that you should be aware of; namely, start small and be specific in your pitch.
#27: Invite others to be on yours.
Another way to boost your listening audience is to invite experts and other podcasters to be on your show. If your guests have their own following (either on podcasts, their social media platforms, or their blogs), those readers or listeners might become part of your audience, too.
#28: Have a plan to ask great questions.
When you are having a guest on your show, you're going to want to ask the right questions. Don't ask questions that are already answered on their website, for example. You can ask for clarification on a subject or delve into a topic more deeply, however. Spend some time crafting a good list of questions that should fill your time. You can always cut questions out, but it's stressful when you've asked all of your questions and you have 15 minutes left to fill. Consider sending the questions to the guest ahead of time so he or she can prepare their answers.
#29: Allow for spontaneity.
While you should have a mental or written outline for how your interview should go, it's important to leave some room for off-the-cuff responses, stories that lead to a fascinating tangent, or asking questions that aren't on your cheatsheet. Beware of going too far off of your intended trail, however. Remember that you can always have the guest back for more discussion if the topic warrants it.
Don't Lose Sight of the Goal
#30: Never stop marketing yourself.
Once you're to the point where your listening audience has grown substantially, you might feel as though it's safe to stop promoting yourself. This is not the case! As any entrepreneur knows, it's vital that you are always marketing. You don't want to suddenly realize one day that your audience has dwindled down to a few dozen loyal listeners. As the months go by, your podcast will grow and change, and your audience will change, too. Don't take it for granted that your current audience will stick with you over time.

Did you ever think what would a house look like without a blueprint in place? Yes, something similar would be the resulting eLearning course without a storyboard.
A storyboard is a crucial element of any eLearning development project. And in more ways than one, a storyboard lowers the production risk. Here's how.
- Will the concept work – A storyboard reveals whether a concept will work or not. A concept is typically verbalized in a couple of paragraphs. A storyboard helps the client or the course owner validate whether the concept is working or not, and determine the direction the course is going to take.
- Will the action work –Storyboard contain notes to developers like media to be used, what elements get synched with which part of the audio narration, and which elements would be clickable and the resultant reaction. This gives a comprehensive idea of how the course would flow in its entirety. So, the storyboard serves as the blueprint for the module, and guides not just the developer but also the quality controller on how the visualizer has envisioned the module screen-by-screen.
- Utilising the budget effectively – In case of complex animations where it takes a lot of time and budget to develop the final product, it is always better to have an approved storyboard from the client in place. The storyboard helps to envision what the final product would look like. In the meantime, if the client decides to make some changes in the course, they can very well share their inputs during this phase so that it does not affect the production budget.
- Identifying errors at an early stage – It is during the storyboarding phase that most of the errors related to narration, media, and other relevant details are identified. This saves the much necessary time, effort, and cost that could disrupt the production phase.
- Deciding on appropriate media – It is essential to get the most relevant and appropriate media into the course. The storyboarder does their best to identify these when they visualize, but they might not hit the mark every time. For example, is the media complementing the content well, is it appropriately representing the content, are the required elements in the media available, are the required ethnicities represented, etc. At the storyboarding stage, these can be identified and corrected before development starts.
- Hitting off with punch lines or dialogues – It is while creating the storyboard that you can test if certain punch lines or dialogues would work as you have imagined before. You can write these dialogues and share it with the stakeholders or course owners who have a higher visibility into the curriculum and can guide you about the mind-set of the audience you are targeting at. Alternatively, you can also try this tactic with a test audience or pilot participants to see how it works.
- Need changes to be made later – So, you've deployed your course and learners are taking it. Six months down the line, you need to update it. How do you do so efficiently and without creating version issues? Pick up the latest version of the storyboard, make changes in it (in track), and share it with anyone with the latest source files of the module. Continuing to use the storyboard as the blueprint for the course, any developer will be able to take the task up and make the changes without errors and version issues.
- Need your course in another language: Imagine your English course needs to be translated into Portuguese, but your developer doesn't know the language! Would you hunt for a developer who understands the second language or give it to the best developer for the job? A well-drafted storyboard can come to your rescue again by providing the English developer with instructions in English, along with content for text on screen and the narration in the language to be localized into. The developer will refer to the English instructions to complete the localization without errors.
Final verdict
It can be very well concluded from the above pointers that storyboarding lowers the production risk in more ways than one. Have a storyboarding phase for your project to not only communicate visualization ideas to clients and developers, but also truly use it as a blueprint to keep your course updated in the future and also localize into languages not understood by the developer.

The People's Republic of China's Government of Guizhou Province and New Zealand's Te Puni K?kiri (Ministry of M?ori Development) have launched an international agricultural exchange programme.
The programme recognises that investing in the education of young people is a vital way to boost development in rural areas, The Vice Governor of Guizhou Province, Mu Degui and New Zealand's Te Puni K?kiri Chief Executive, Leith Comer, signed a joint statement on agricultural co-operation in Guiyang, Guizhou Province, China today.
New Zealand's M?ori Affairs Minister Dr Pita Sharples is currently leading a trade mission in China. His 2010 business delegation included high level meetings in Guizhou, as did a smaller trade mission led by Mr Comer in 2011.
"We have developed a strong and close relationship with the people of Guizhou: a beautiful and unique province, rich in cultural and natural resources with significant tourism and agricultural potential," said Dr Sharples.
"Centering on agriculture, indigenous/ethnic development, community development and cultural tourism, the programme will also enable cultural exchange and collaboration," said Dr Sharples.
The exchange will focus on building the capacity of young farm managers and animal husbandry technicians from ethnic minority communities in Guizhou. They will be given the opportunity to visit pastoral farming institutions in New Zealand. Moreover, M?ori farm managers from New Zealand will have the opportunity to gain experience and provide practical support to agricultural development projects in Guizhou such as the Dushan Pastoral Seed Demonstration Farm. Te Puni K?kiri is investing in this agricultural and educational exchange to help strengthen the relationship between M?ori and Guizhou's ethnic minorities.
Dr Sharples says the auspicious Year of the Water Dragon also marks the 40th anniversary of bilateral diplomatic relations between the New Zealand and Chinese governments. New Zealand and Guizhou province share a special 27-year relationship built upon practical agricultural and development work.
"New Zealand's 100% Pure brand is one M?ori have held for generations. We are people of the land, tangata whenua, guardians. We also share ancient cultural bonds to the people of Asia and China, bonds that we are proud to strengthen and celebrate."
"He aha te mea nui o te ao? It is people, It is people, It is people."
"What is the most important thing of all? It is people, it is people, It is people"

To the Editor:
"Remaking the Memorial Foundation" (editorial, June 1) claims that our building the 9/11 museum "is an afterthought that has never been vetted publicly."
The idea of a memorial museum emerged from public input and has been an integral component of the memorial project at ground zero since the selection of Daniel Libeskind's master plan.
As the plans for the museum developed, the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation reached out to the public on numerous occasions. What has resulted from that very long and careful process is a memorial and a museum that complement each other.
At its inception in December 2004, the Memorial Foundation was given the responsibility to raise funds and to build and operate both a memorial and a museum.
The foundation is dedicated to realizing the best possible, most powerful and well-integrated memorial experience imaginable.
Finally, it's insulting to allege that our distinguished board, especially those nine of us who suffered familial loss on 9/11, would in any way subordinate the memorial to the museum to "take credit" for the project.

- The ancient Roman mile was 1000 strides of a legionnaire. It translates to .92 of the modern standard mile (4860 feet/1481 meters). Much of the vast road system they built (over 50,000 miles) is still in existence today.
- Romans published the first newspaper (Acta Diurna) and the first bound book (Julius Caesar's Codex). They were prolific record keepers.
- Do you have a Dodecahedron on your workbench? It's a small hollowed out bronze object with twelve pentagonal holes. Archeologists believe that it was a Roman engineering tool. However, even though numerous examples have been unearthed, not a single word explaining their purpose has ever been discovered.
- Romans had cement they called pozzuolana. It can still be seen holding buildings like the Coliseum, the Pantheon and the Roman Baths together 2000 years later. The formula was lost with the fall of the Roman Empire in 476AD. The secret was not rediscovered until the year 1414 and not improved on until 1793.
- Ever travel the Silk Road? That's right, 1200 years before Marco Polo's famous journey; it was mapped by the Roman, Claudius Ptolemy. The Roman Empire traded with the Han Dynasty in China across this 4000 miles route.
- Our current calendar is from the Roman astronomer Sosigenes, in the First Century BC. He determined the length of the year to be 365 days. His calculation was only off by eleven minutes which was not corrected until the year 1582 with the introduction of the Leap Year.
- The Romans beat Columbus to the punch! They knew that the world was round. Actually they got that fact from the Greek, Pythagoras. He determined the Earth was a sphere in the 5th Century BC. It was an accepted fact by Roman scholars that the Earth was a globe.

Thank you for the continuing support. After installing the FPR9 I noticed that it reset my selection of search engines to the standard. More worryingly, however, is that I can't anymore see a way to download add-ons - from Tools I am shown only the installed, but no access to the Firefox lists; when I go from Preferences < Search < Add more... I manage to access the Firefox lists, but there is no more the option to install, never mind access to older versions as was in the past. Firefox don't even recognize that I am using a browser from the family, instead it force me to download Firefox or Register/ Log In. Am I missing something or things changed for worse?
Firefox 57 and later completely removed support for already existing add-ons and moved to Webextensions, which in turn do not work on earlier versions of Firefox (and therefore TenFourFox).
You should see: http://tenfourfox.blogspot.com/2018/08/tenfourfox-and-legacy-addons-and-their.html
if it's only search add-ons you need, you can either:
Open preferences > tenfourfox ; then set your user agent to Firefox 60ESR (intel). Once you have installed the search add-ons you wanted from addons.mozilla.org, revert the user agent to the default one immediately. Don't do this to install anything but search add-ons.
Navigate to the domain that corresponds to the search engine you want and open the search bar's drop-down menu to install their search add-on. Comment #7 at http://tenfourfox.tenderapp.com/discussions/problems/8699-cant-add-any-addons-from-firefox-page has a screenshot of this. Not all sites have this (for example, if the search add-on was created by a third party).
Both ways work for me.

Boyfriend wanted to surprise his date with a party. Her ex surprised them both, cops say
Christopher Trey Lowery wanted to surprise his girlfriend Megan Berger for her 30th birthday.
So he, along with several family members and friends of the couple, took Berger to Painting with a Twist on Saturday.
But then they heard "a loud tire screeching sound followed by a white Chevrolet truck driving erratically toward them" as they walked to the front of the franchise at 5810 S. University Dr. in Davie, according to a Davie police report.
Lowery, 30, recognized the driver, identified by Davie police as Richard Madruga, as Berger's ex-boyfriend.
And Madruga was mad.
According to the affidavit and a surveillance video released by Davie police on Friday, as soon as Lowery saw an agitated Madruga, who cops say was shouting obscenities, Lowery raced to the driver's side of Madruga's 2008 Chevy.
That's because, police say, Madruga had a black handgun in his right hand and he was trying to open the door to exit the truck. Lowery pushed the front door inward to try and stop Madruga from getting out but he was unsuccessful. However, the gun was dislodged from Madruga's hand, the report says.
The men began to fight on the ground in the sidewalk area near the truck as Berger and others move in and out of the video's frame.
According to the arrest report, Madruga, 34, had armed himself with a screwdriver and stabbed Lowery repeatedly. In the ongoing scuffle, Madruga drops that screwdriver, grabs another with his right hand, and continues to strike Lowery.
Both men get to their feet and Madruga got into his car and drove off.
Berger told police she has two children "in common" with Madruga and that they still live together in Sunrise despite their split, according to the report.
She told Davie police she dated Lowery on and off for three years and that they have been "steady" for the past three months. She corroborated what Lowery told police.
Madruga was caught in the 2600 block of Havana Drive in Miramar and was arrested. He is charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, police said.
Painting with a Twist, which has numerous locations in Miami-Dade and Broward, serves wine as guests create paintings in a "colorful, casual party atmosphere," according to its website.

Frozen Water Pipes
- Understanding your water service pipe
- Steps to help prevent frozen pipes
- What to do when the temperature drops well below zero
- If you have no water – how to thaw frozen pipes in your home
Understanding your water service pipeWater service pipes are owned by you and the City.
- The part that the City owns runs from the watermain on the street to the property line.
- The part that you own runs from the property line into the home.
Steps to help prevent frozen pipes
- Know where to find your main water shut-off valve and how it works (in case your pipes burst).
- Insulate pipes most prone to freezing, especially near outside walls and in crawl spaces, the attic and garage. This can be done with foam pipe covers available from building supply or home improvement stores.
- Seal air leaks in your home and garage to stop cold air from getting in. Check around windows and doors, electrical wiring, dryer vents and pipes.
- Outdoor faucets are the first to freeze. Unscrew any hoses, turn off the outdoor water supply and let the taps drain.
- If your pipes are prone to freezing, there may be a problem you cannot see. Consider contacting a plumber for advice on how best to protect your home.
- Commercial water customers - protect fire lines by wrapping all lines exposed to the cold.
What to do when the temperature drops well below zero
- Ensure areas that contain indoor water pipes are kept above 8OC, especially near the water meter.
- Keep garage doors closed if there are water supply lines in the garage.
- Open kitchen, bathroom and laundry cabinet doors to allow warm air to circulate around the plumbing.
- If leaving for an extended period of time, turn off the water at the main service valve in the basement and open the taps to drain the water from your plumbing lines. You may also wish to have someone check your home regularly.
- For your own peace of mind, you can choose to run a pencil-thin stream of water to ensure some movement of water in the pipes. However, you will be charged for the water used if you choose this step.
- Run cold water from the lowest point in the house, usually a laundry room sink or tub.
- Ensure the drain is kept clear of debris to prevent overflowing or flooding.
If you have no water – how to thaw frozen pipes in your homeIf you turn on your taps and have no water, the pipes in your home may be frozen. Likely places for frozen pipes include against exterior walls or where your water service enters your home through the foundation.
Here are some tips to thaw your pipes yourself, along with precautions to take:
Important precautions
- Do not use a torch with an open flame to thaw pipes, as it creates a fire hazard.
- Ensure you know the location of your master water shut-off valve. If the pipe breaks you will need to immediately shut off the water in your house until the pipe is repaired.
Steps to thaw a frozen pipe
- Turn on a tap in the basement, preferably the cold water faucet in the laundry room.
- Apply heat to the suspected frozen pipe by warming the air around it or applying heat directly to the pipe. You can use an electric heating pad, hair dryer, space heater or warm towel or rag.
- Do not leave electrical devices unattended, or use kerosene or propane heaters, charcoal stoves or any open flame to thaw a frozen pipe.
- Depending on the outside temperature and the extent of freezing within the pipe, the thawing process could take between one and six hours.
- Once the pipes have thawed, turn the water back on slowly and check for cracks and leaks.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, you are unable to locate the frozen area, or it is not accessible, you may wish to contact a licensed plumber for advice.
You can also contact 311 and someone from the City will come to investigate. Please note that frozen pipes on private property are the responsibility of the homeowner (see the diagram).

|This article is about a/an villain in Seijuu Sentai Gingaman.
- "Run, Black Knight. No matter what happens, you must defeat Zahab! (.....) Just go already! Go! You abandoned Earth Power! Don't let it be for nothing!"
- ―Barreled Scholar Bucrates' final words before his death[src]
Barreled Scholar Bucrates (樽学者ブクラテス Tarugakusha Bukuratesu) is a stout little being with a barrel-shaped body and extensive knowledge, able to disguise himself as an ordinary barrel. He is called "Mentor" (先生 Sensei) by Captain Zahab and is the one who taught him how to obtain immortality by harnessing the power of the jewels produced by the Demon Beast Daitanix. He is also the uncle of Spectral Empress Iliess and Desphias as well as the Grand Uncle to Medoumedou and Merudameruda.
During Sambash's term as field commander to find a means to revive Daitanix, Bucrates offered his knowledge to aid Sambash in attempting various methods and seeking out different energy sources and endured a lot of physical abuse from Sanbash. When Sword General Budoh becomes acting general, Bucrates's aid was rejected by the samurai, who had developed his own strategy to revive Daitanix. Insulted by the snub, Bucrates planned to humble Budoh when he (Bucrates) found an old scroll which Budoh believed to contain coordinates to the Lights of Ginga which he immediately presented to Captain Zahab. However, Budoh revealed that the scroll was a failed attempt of his to locate the Lights years ago which he forgot was still around the ship. Humiliated, Bucrates schemed with Iliess to sabotage Budoh, before labeling him a traitor, so she could take over as commanding General. Though Zahab knew of their treachery, he allowed them to believe that their scheme went unnoticed, along with making Iliess the new acting general.
However, Bucrates became suspicious of Daitanix's strange shaking and discovered that the demon beast was rotting due to being kept immobile for so long. This lead to him overhearing Zahab's scheme to use Iliess's soul gem to partially revive Daitanix, thus keeping their "ship" from sinking into the ocean. After Iliess was killed by Gingaioh, Bucrates recovered her soul gem and attempted to revive her first only to be cut down by Zahab. Powerless to prevent Battobas from shattering Iliess' soul gem, Bucrates was chained up and thrown overboard into the briny deep.
- Medoumedou: Grand Niece
- Merudameruda: Grand Niece
- Spectral Empress Iliess: Niece
- Desphias: Nephew
Bucrates escaped his fate and was driven mad by his new-found hatred for Zahab. Thus, Bucrates changed into an aged form called Barreled Scholar of Revenge Bucrates (復讐の樽学者ブクラテス Fukushū no Tarugakusha Bukuratesu). Desiring Zahab's death, Bucrates forced Hyuuga to work for him by trapping the wounded GoTaurus in a small barrel. After he has Hyuuga sacrifice his Earth Power Chapter 38: The Determination of Hyuuga, Bucrates forged the Knight Axe, a cursed weapon, to give Hyuuga the means to destroy the Star Soul Jewel which sustains Zahab's life which he then has Hyuuga train in order to do so.Chapter 39: The Heart's Massage During the Daitanix battle, he allowed for Hyuuga to assist in the battle by releasing GoTaurus temporarily, but draws them both back when the battle is over. However, after their location is discovered by the Balban, Destruction King Battobas sets up an explosion to start a landslide that traps him in their cave hideout while Hyuuga manages to escape in time. Though he manages to dig himself out eventually, he is mortally wounded by Steerwoman Shelinda, for his betrayal, before he could see his revenge fulfilled.Chapter 48: The End of Moak After Hyuuga rescues him, once he gives the barrel containing GoTaurus to Hyuuga, Bucrates commits suicide with a bomb, to provide a distraction so Hyuuga can escape, without being seen, alongside GoTaurus.Chapter 49: The Mountain of Miracles
Bucrates is voiced by Chafurin (茶風林 Chafurin). His suit actor is Kenjiro Fujita (藤田健次郎 Fujita Kenjirō).
- His name comes from a combination of the words, "book" and "Socrates", a famous ancient Greek philosopher.
- No footage of him from Gingaman was used in Lost Galaxy, though he still is in Power Rangers as Kegler.

Joni 75: A Birthday Celebration
About the Film:
Join an incredible array of singers and musicians who came together to honor one of the world's most remarkable artists, Joni Mitchell, on her 75th birthday. The hand-selected group of peers and protégés including Brandi Carlile, Glen Hansard, Emmylou Harris, Norah Jones, Chaka Khan, Diana Krall, Kris Kristofferson, Los Lobos with La Marisoul, Cesar Castro & Xochi Flores, Graham Nash, Seal, James Taylor, Rufus Wainwright and more paid tribute to the iconic artist, performing songs from all stages of Mitchell's life and career, across her entire catalog of 19 studio albums. Captured over two nights in November 2018 by The Music Center at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles, the entire concert, along with special behind-the-scenes interviews with the artists, will be shown in movie theaters for one night, Thursday, February 7.
As an artist, Mitchell performed with an emotional honesty that resonated with a wide audience. The unifying effect of Mitchell's music rings out with a closing group singalong to "Big Yellow Taxi" during which Mitchell herself is captured on camera. But the biggest moment, the most emotional, is saved for the end when the celebrated singer takes to the stage to blow out candles on a cake after the crowd serenades her with "Happy Birthday."

The Detroit Lions. Yep, it was that bad!
A month or two ago I got an email at work about discount tickets for the Tampa Bay Lightning. Third level any remaining game of the season (and let's face it, there's still a lot) for only $15, minimum 12 tickets. So I called J and told him about it. He said he'd check with another couple and then take care of ordering the tickets. Tonight was the first game of those tickets. The Lightning hosted the Flyers.
The Lightning should have just forfeited. It would have been less embarrassing. The final score? 7-1, or was it 6-1? No, pretty sure it was 7. Either way, it was still bad. In all fairness, there were a lot of bad calls against us. And the stupid freakin' refs took away two goals. 2!!!! One because they said the puck was kicked in. Who cared if it was kicked in? It went in didn't it? If it had bounced off the goalie it would have counted. So why couldn't it have counted if someone accidentally kicked it in? The second was taken away because a player made the goal by high sticking. I guess he wanted to try out baseball for the night.
The Lightning were outplayed, it was apparent even if the Flyers hadn't scored so high. I swear they have not really managed to master the concept of passing and puck control this season. And several players have apparently forgotten who their teammates are because they keep passing the puck to those in jerseys that don't match theirs.
When these tickets were purchased nobody really stopped to consider the date. Which wouldn't have been a problem, except the St. Pete Times Forum is in Channelside. Along with Hooters, Banana Joe's, Bennigan's (the only one in the are still open), Howl at the Moon and several other clubs and bars. On any regular Friday or Saturday night it's a busy area. Add in the Super Bowl mix and it was crazy packed. Someone apparently decided some sort of party needed to be held in a parking lot. So there was a tent, a jumbo screen, music and a huge line of people waiting to get in. All lined up past the trolley stop, the very area we needed to walk by to get to the Forum. And our timing stunk! We happened to be walking by as a trolley was stopped, letting people on.
But, watching some of the people (ok, females) was really interesting. We had a cold front move through last night/yesterday and temperatures dropped today. I know, it's nothing like what everyone up North is going through. But one thing I learned real quick down here, 50 degrees here is colder than 50 degrees in MN. I think it probably has to do with humidity levels. Anyway, back to the people. I think a lot of people not from FL when they booked their travel thought "Hey! It's FL! It's hot in Tampa! Let me pack the skimpiest outfit I have." Not realizing that it gets cool/cold here. Especially once the sun sets. We had dinner at a little pizza place and there was a girl in there in a long t-shirt and hose. And the t-shirt barely wasn't long enough!
Hopefully the Lightning will do much better next time. Maybe they'll have decided the Detroit Lions really aren't cut out for hockey either. As for me, I'm going to avoid Tampa for the next several days. I don't have the patience to deal with all the people here for the big game. For those that watch, enjoy!

- Press Win+R keyboard shortcut
- Type ff to run Firefox
With Win+R Alias Manager you can specify any alias (or even several aliases) for any application. Aliases are built-in feature of the OS Windows since Windows 95, but there's no system option allowing you to control them. So, now you can use the Win+R Alias Manager.
Latest version is 18.104.22.168, see the change log below. I suggest you to update your software.
Let me describe the main features of the Win+R Alias Manager.
Win+R Alias Manager features
- Win+R Alias Manager allows you to create, edit and delete aliases for both user and system applications (i.e. Firefox, Internet Explorer, Windows Live messenger or just Notepad. Feel free to set alias for any software).
- There are two types of aliases: the first is aliases for current user and the second is system-wide aliases. As you may know, system-wide aliases can be accessible by any user of your PC. With Win+R Alias Manager you can handle both types of aliases! You can edit, delete and create alias of any type.
The application allows you to create per-user alias by default, but you can change this with simple checkbox:
- You will able to create alias by simple dragging the executable (*.exe) file on alises list.
- Everything can be done with keyboard shortcuts:
Insert - add new alias.
Delete - delete the selected alias.
Alt+E - edit alias.
Alt+B - browse for executable file.
Alt+R - run the selected alias.
Some limitations of Win+R Alias Manager
- You may use only letters, digits and dot in aliases. All other symbols are not supported. Actually this is Windows limit.
- You must have the Administrator's rights to create, edit and delete system-wide aliases. If you are user of Windows 7 or Windows 8, I recommend you to use per-user aliases in any case. Windows XP and Windows Vista does not support per-user aliases so your are limited to use only system-wide aliases.
Change log
Fixed a bug: you were unable to edit/delete aliases after grid sorting
Fixed a bug related to elevated start/limited account in Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8
Added sorting by click on column's header
Added resizing of columns
Added settings. The settings are following:
- Delete confirmation
- Run confirmation
- Replace confirmation (if you will try to create alias which already exists, you will get it.
- Small icons
Added export to registry file feature for selected aliases
Added filter for fast searching. TIP: Press Enter to jump from Filter text box into the grid
Main mindow now saves its size
"Work with system-wide aliases" checkbox now saves its state
New hotkeys are following:
- Insert - add an alias
- Alt+E or F2 - edit an alias
- Ctrl+F or F3 - search/filter option
- Ctrl+Home or Home - navigate to the first alias
- Delete - delete an alias
- Ctrl+End or End - navigate to the last alias
- Alt+R - run selected alias
- Alt+B - show a file which has the current alias
Bug fixed: wrong elevated launch
Bug fixed: the plus + character is allowed in the Run window, but not by this program
Bug fixed: grid did not remember the cursor position after delete
Bug fixed: editing an alias in the middle of the word, moves my cursor to the end for every typed character.
Bug fixed: REG_SZ was used instead of REG_EXPAND_SZ
Lots of improvements in code
- Fixed issue: crash under Windows XP.
- Fixed issue: Windows XP and Windows Vista users saw "per-user" aliases, however, this feature is available only since Windows 7.
- Fixed issue: proper behavior when you have administrator's right (useless bits was removed) and when you have not. Also no shield on buttons for elevated instance and better Vista handling.
- Fixed issue: edit dialog does not closes with Enter key.
- Fixed issue: edit dialog can not be closed with Cancel button if file path was wrong.
- Fixed issue: duplicates of aliases instead of single edited alias.
- Fixed issue: possible edit mode crash.
- Lots of minor improvements in code.
- Added: suggestions in "file path" text box. Try to type the file path from keyboard.
- Added: %path% handling. Try to enter just cmd.exe or mspaint.exe.
- Added: suggestion to add new alias if you have none.
Initial release.
Win+R Alias Manager supports Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 both x86 and x64 as well as all editions. For Windows 8 you have to use special build from "Win8Native" folder.
Win+R Alias Manager is free and portable application and doesn't require to be installed.
Also, big thanks to Rhor for awesome icon and permissions to use it!

Too many "download" buttons. Where is the one where I can simply download the product offerd?
Brad03 Jul 12
I see only one at bottom of the page.
What you talking about?
guest07 Jul 12
you really need to add support to run the alias in admin mode, otherwise your program is incomplete!!!
Sergey07 Jul 12
I will describe how you can done that, ok?
anonymous21 Jul 12
+1 for RonBoyd; there are too many google-ad download buttons. Also the winAero download button takes me to a page where I have to click another download button, which takes me to the same page, where I have to click the same button to take me to the same page ... ad nauseum.
Really the website could use a redesign, even if ads do help support the site they should be more obviously alien to the site if possible.
Sergey23 Jul 12
takes me to a page where I have to click another download button, which takes me to the same page, where I have to click the same button to take me to the same page ... ad nauseum.
The behavior you mentioned is related to cases when download page is opened via google translator. It always damages the download button here. I will look for solution. Please don't use google translator for download page as temporary solution.
Also, I swear I never seen any download buttons inside ads here.
Maple28 Jul 12
If I want to create a alias to open a directory and I enter D:\ in the file path, the software will warn me "Wrong file path". Can you change this?
Sergey28 Jul 12
It is not a bug. You cannot map folders into aliases because of Explorer's limitation. There are two workarounds with this issue:
- Create a command file with text
start "" explorer.exe d:\
Then create alias for that command file.
- Create new shortcut. Set explorer.exe d:\ as shortcut target. Drag and drop your shortcut on Win+R alias manager's list. You will get new alias.
Both ways are same.
- Create a command file with text
jerone04 Sep 12
Great software!
I found the following bugs:
- The plus + character is allowed in the Run window, but not by this program (e.g. notepad++).
- Deleting an item with a scrollbar below loses the scroll position.
- Editing an alias in the middle of the word, moves my cursor to the end for every typed character.
Please add these 3 suggestion:
- Edit item with F2
- Add an export/import feature. I need to re-install my pc soon and I don't want to do this all over again.
- Filter feature
Keep up the great work.
Sergey05 Sep 12
Thanks for your bug report and suggestions. I will try to fix/implement all of this as soon as possible.
BigMike (downloading now...)19 Oct 12
Looks great but..
How is this different from putting a shortcut in the windows system folder?
(Other than the obvious management from a single window feature)
just a question
Sergey20 Oct 12
There is no differences for end user
filvi10 Jan 16
Great Job man! I'm using this almost for everything since i donwloaded i WIN + R with batch file for 97% of time I have to move to a directory or open a program etc. I would like to know wheter there is the possibility to implement a backup for the shortcut so if I need to format my PC or change it I can easily restore all my WIN + R shortcut. Greetings
winNoob25 Jan 16
Hey man I really enjoy your work, I was wodering how to uninstall it (just to check compatibility issues with other app in my PC) and wheter its possible to bakup all shortcuts for when I am reinstalling it
Tweaker28 Jul 17
Here's a surprise! The Microsoft Edge Browser now has an alias "edge". For example, the following command typed into the Run Box brings up the Oxford English Dictionary:
edge oed.com
This is new, I think. I'm not sure when, but it may have come with the Creator Update.
But the list of aliases in the WinRAliasManager unfortunately does not contain the alias "edge", presumably because it is a "modern app". It should be there.
There may be other "modern apps" that now have simple aliases. Could the excellent WinRAliasManager app, which I have relied on for some time now to look up existing aliases and create new ones, please be updated to register all such new aliases?

Christians should not be afraid to tell others about Jesus. But sometimes, there are people who seem to just go through the motions with regard to Christianity. Being a Christian appeals to a person, but that's all they are doing and it becomes a superficial experience for them.
This is the second type of heart that is prepared for God when it comes to evangelism and it's the Shallow Heart.
And the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. But these have no root; they believe for a while, and in time of testing fall away. Luke 8:13
Look at what the Shallow Heart is like. They hear the Gospel. They receive it with joy, but they have not taken seriously the commitment to grow. They have a temporary emotion of joy, but when they experience trials in their lives, they give up and blame God for their troubles, when that is not what is happening.
The trials are not new at all, whatsoever. It's the reality that there has been no care to grow as a Christian.
When small group bible studies were once a joy for having the opportunity to grow in their relationship with Jesus and to grow in the knowledge of the Word, after a while it has become unimportant to them. Why? Because they don't understand that the devil is coming against them to disrupt their lives.
The Shallow Heart can also be described as one who is Half-hearted too. No real, full comment to the Lord or His church. They don't attend a small group bible study, they come in late to the service, or leave early at the end of the service. Attending a prayer meeting is as desirable as getting a root canal done.
The Shallow Heart shows evidence of just being here and nothing more and when the trials of life come, when the rains fall, and the floods come, when the wind blows and beats them down, when life hits them hard, they fall away because there was nothing rooting them in the ground to withstand the storms of life. (Matthew 7:24-27)
But, we can and should see that when those trials of life do come, so that the shallow heart does not fall away, but grows fuller in Christ and withstands the trials, we should consider it to be a joyful time that your faith is being tested and tested so that you would persevere in faith, trusting in Christ to provide, protect and preserve your life, no matter what happens.
Trials have a purpose from God, but someone who has a shallow heart will not recognize the trial as a means of building their faith (James 1:2-4), but rather blaming God for their troubles that have separated them from friends and even family.
Each one of us must take a look at ourselves and ask, "Is my heart shallow concerning the things of God that I am avoiding, instead of seeing as God's gift to help me grow?" "Am I just going through the motions as a Christian, in my life, in my witness, in my commitment to the church?"
This passage speaks about those who hear the Gospel and their response to it, but it also addresses our heart too, as Christians because it is possible to develop a shallow heart when a person feels bitter towards someone in the church.
People can show an appearance of being a Christian, but when trials come, the test will show whether or not your heart, soul, mind and your strength will turn to God, or you will run away from Him and I can assure you that the direction you must turn is toward God. There is no better shelter than God. There is no stronger anchor for the soul than Jesus. There is no better counselor than the Holy Spirit, where the Triune God wants us to grow in Christ and is willing to make that happen, but it requires a life to be surrendered to Him, fully, not half-heartedly.
The person who once had a fire for the Lord, maybe even a genuine passion for Him, they need to return to that fire and passion and make a serious commitment to serving the Lord with their lives.
On the other hand, Christians also need to realize that sometimes people may appear to come to faith in Christ, but once the difficulties take place in their lives and they feel that God is not with them, or helping them, they've forgotten that those instances are intended to help them grow in their faith, not weaken them.
In a few days, I'll post about the next type of heart that is prepared for God when it comes to evangelizing the lost and it's one that everyone may be familiar with too.
