The exhibition covers a wide range subjects - Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin seated in a line at the 1945 Yalta (Crimea) Conference, a close-up portrait of astronaut Yuri Gagarin, and an austere 1930s morning exercise class where the instructor, incongruously dressed in a floaty floral dress and scarf, stands with arms outstretched looking down on the circular group of participants obediently following below.
Borodulin began collecting during the early days following the end of the Second World War when he was asked to create a photo chronicle of battles fought by his former regiment. "I began with Yevgeny Khaldey — the author of the most known war pictures which depicted the Muscovites listening by radio to Molotov's performance about the beginning of war; the traffic controller on Alexander parade-ground in Berlin; raising of a banner of the Victory over the Reichstag". Lev Borodulin. What started as a hobby became a lifelong passion. The collection grew as Borodulin continued to make friends with and acquire the work of famous military photojournalists such as Max Alpert, famed for his pictures of the front line, and Dmitri Baltermants whose depictions of charging soldiers and village women grieving their dead on the battlefield have become iconic war images. Working at Ogonyok the Russian version of Life magazine and sharing a small darkroom with Dmitry Baltermants, during the 1950s gave Borodulin the opportunity to expand his collection further.
Borodulin emigrated from Russia to Israel in 1972 to live in Tel Aviv but frequently returned to his homeland to rescue prints offered to him by insolvent picture archives and by photographers' families no longer able to care for such artistically and historically important work. The collection was added to by his son, Aleksander Borodulin, also a prominent photographer, and has been exhibited worldwide including the Israel Museum, Jerusalem; the Multimedia Art Museum, Moscow and the Belarusian State Museum of the Great Patriotic War.


On view at Washington Square Park: beards, layers of floaty clothes, wild patterns, women and men in caps, red as a primary color, and flip-flops no matter what the weather.
Could be subtitled: Deep Thoughts.
In another life, I would live college in long patterned skirts and birkenstocks. Why not?


What can i say really!? Superb as always from Organic Loops. Amazing sound, super usable riffs, all round 10 out of 10. If you want low tempo strings then buy the pack you will not be disappointed.
More from Pete Whitfelds industry standard series of strings. This one has added a chamber to our library, giving us a timberland dynamic to our dnb productions. check for our track d.f.t.f for a interesting approach to using this style of string. Even at a low tempo this pack creates some interesting ideas that can be worked around 170bpm. Again this is serious quality and i need the rest of the series.
Amazing carefully crafted sounds with plenty of variation and creative combinations.
Great sample pack and value.
These guys have consistently produced packs containing really high quality recordings and great composition and this one is no exception. The recordings sound warm and close mic'ed, they are very much motown as opposed to hollywood and this means they incorporate in to hip hop and other edm genres well.

Review: Here's Looking at You by Mhairi McFarlane
Posted on June 16, 2014 June 22, 2014 by Marlene Harris
Format read: ebook provided by Edelweiss
Formats available: ebook, paperback, audiobook
Genre: Women's fiction
Publisher: Avon
Date Released: June 3, 2014
Anna Alessi – history expert, possessor of a lot of hair and an occasionally filthy mouth – seeks nice man for intelligent conversation and Harlequin romance moments.
Despite the oddballs that keep turning up on her dates, Anna couldn't be happier. As a 30-something with a job she loves, life has turned out better than she dared dream. However, things weren't always this way, and her years spent as the butt of schoolyard jokes are ones she'd rather forget.
So when James Fraser – the architect of Anna's final humiliation at school – walks back into her life, her world is turned upside down. But James seems a changed man. Polite. Mature. Funny, even. People can change, right? So why does Anna feel like she's a fool to trust him?
Here's Looking at You is a combination of ugly duckling story mixed with "handsome is as handsome does". There's also a bit of "beauty may be skin deep, but ugly goes clean through to the bone."
And none of us are who we were in high school, and thank goodness for that.
Anna was the school "fat freak" (I'm quoting the story here, and some of what is said is MUCH worse). The bullying she suffered was beyond awful, to the point where it reminded me of the bullying scenes in Carrie. Anna was tormented by every student who was considered to be above her in the social pecking order, and that meant by every single student. The final humiliation that she suffered was utterly heartbreaking in its cruelty.
Even 16 years later, Anna's self-esteem is still scarred by her experiences. And so would most of us be. Even though she has lost the weight that set her apart, and is now a beautiful woman, she can't see it. (I'm also glad that Anna seems to be a normal size, and not a stick-figure 0 or 2.)
She also puts her passion into her work as a curator at the British Museum. She's intelligent and successful. She also has a slightly obsessive interest in the Empress Theodosia, an interest that is about to become a major exhibit under her direction. (Theodosia and her husband Justinian are definitely fascinating historical characters. There are tons of books about them.)
Anna's 16th reunion nearly derails her. She doesn't want to face the people who tormented her. Her best friends think that its time she found some closure for the pain in her past.
The person she's really afraid to meet is James Fraser, her high school crush and the cause of her bitterest humiliation. But when she finally screws up her courage and attends the reunion, James doesn't even recognize her–and neither does anybody else.
She thinks its all behind her, when James and his PR firm are assigned to work on her museum exhibit. He doesn't have a clue who she is and why she gives him so much snarkitude, but she can't forget the part he played in her life.
There's just this one problem with continuing her verbal sniping at James; he's actually pretty sweet, and they are very sympatico. While she's watching his every gesture to determine whether or not he recognizes her, they are well on their way to becoming friends.
For me that was the story. James and Anna develop a terrific friendship, one that may have some sexual chemistry underneath, but is mostly about how much fun they have together, and how easy they can both be their real selves.
The more time that James spends with the intelligent and witty Anna, the more he realizes that he hasn't left the shallowness of high school, but that it is high time that he did. He doesn't need more emptiness in his life; he just needs Anna.
Escape Rating B+: A lot of people are going to describe this story as chick-lit, but Anna, for all of her angst, is much too smart and self-aware for that. There's an element of Bridget Jones' Diary all grown up, but maybe only if James is Bridget.
Anna has some terrible anguish in her past that she needs to work through, but James just plain needs to grow up. He's actually very sweet and thoughtful in a lot of ways, but he's drifting through his life, and he's better than that.
Anna is surrounded in the story by a terrific group of friends and family. Her friends and her sister are supportive of her no matter what she does or doesn't, and she is there for them. The background events of her sister's bridezilla wedding showcase how much love there is in her family, and the amount of tolerance for each other's quirks. At the same time, sister Aggy comes through for Anna when it really counts.
James is the one who discovers that he's making a mess of his life. His oldest friend is a self-serving dickwad, and his soon to be ex-wife is a manipulative user. It takes him most of the book, and a lot of true friendship with Anna, to figure out that he wants real friendship, real love, and less peer pressure and possessions. It's a hard lesson.
I think my favorite character may be Luther the constipated cat. He provides love, extreme grumpiness and comic relief where needed.

The Intelligence Corps (also known as Int Corps) is one of the corps of the British Army. It is responsible for gathering, analysing and disseminating military intelligence and also for counter-intelligence and security. A 'large element' of the Intelligence Corps is part of the Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance Brigade (created in 2014, formerly 1 Military Intelligence Brigade).
Although the first proposals to create one came in 1905, the first Intelligence Corps was formed in 1914 and originally included only officers and their servants. The unit was rapidly run down after the First World War and was finally disbanded in 1929. On 19 July 1940 a new Intelligence Corps was created by Army Order 112 and has existed since that time. On 1 February 1985 the corps was officially declared an 'Arm' (combat support) instead of a 'Service' (rear support).
Their headquarters, formerly at Maresfield, East Sussex and then Templer Barracks at Ashford, Kent, moved in 1997 to the former Royal Air Force station at Chicksands in Bedfordshire along with the Defence Intelligence and Security Centre and the Intelligence Corps Museum.
By 1957 Britain had set up an "intelligence research unit" at Maresfield in Sussex, and by 1962, SAS and paratroop units were being given training there to cope with capture. In April 1971, in conditions of great secrecy, a course in sensory deprivation was held at Maresfield for members of the Royal Ulster Constabulary. In the early morning of August 9 that year, the British army began its mass internment programme, arresting and imprisoning, without charges or courts, hundreds of suspected members of the IRA. Hidden within the mass internments was another programme, involving 14 prisoners, to test the new interrogation techniques.
Since the Second World War, the Intelligence Corps has deployed with the British Army on all of its major deployments- Korea, Suez, Brunei, Indonesia, Dhofar, Northern Ireland, Falkland Islands, the Gulf, Africa and the Former Yugoslavia. In recognition of its meritorious service the Corps was declared an 'Arm' on February 1 1985. An 'Arm' is defined as those Corps whose role is to be in close combat with the enemy.
The tri-service 15 Psychological Operations Group is also based at Chicksands and comes under the remit of the Intelligence Corps and 1 MI Brigade.

The following is a guest post by Sara Weis, adapted from her book Go Go Yoga for Kids.
Introducing kids to yoga doesn't have to be a crazy and wild adventure. By following these fun jungle-related yoga poses and games, kids will have a great time exploring the jungle while they also get fit, flexible and focused.
As with any yoga class, it is always good to start settling in by focusing on your breath and being mindful of how your body feels. To do this, begin with Elephant Breath. Stand with your feet shoulder distance apart and clasp your hands in front to make an elephant trunk. Next bend at the waist and inhale through your nose as you raise your arms up over your head and lean back. Exhale through your mouth as you swing your arms down through your legs.
Once you have your breath and body warmed up, it is time to begin with some Jungle Yoga Poses for Kids.
Lion: Be a lion in the jungle by getting on all fours. Take a deep breath in and arch your back in Cat Pose. Then let your spine relax as you look up in Cow Pose. Let out a deep "Roar" on each exhale.
Cobra: Lie on your belly, place your hands under your shoulders, and hug your elbows into the sides of your body. Press through your feet and gently lift your head and chest off the floor. Can you hiss like a snake?
Giraffe: Move into Tree Pose by bringing your foot to your calf and placing your hands at heart center. As you become more steady, bring your foot to your thigh and move your hands overhead for tree branches. A tip for holding tree pose is to focus on a spot on the ground that is not moving.
Elephant Pose: Become an elephant as you move into a one-armed Down Dog Pose. Swing your "trunk" from side to side.
Jungle Explorer Yoga Game: Now it is time to practice all of these fun yoga poses by playing the yoga game, Jungle Explorer. Choose someone to be the Explorer. While music plays everyone else becomes jungle animals and moves throughout the jungle. When the music stops, all of the jungle animals must freeze while the Explorer moves around the room to see if any animals are moving. If the Explorer spies an animal moving, he or she taps the animal on the shoulder and that person then becomes the next Jungle Explorer.
Kids also love working in partners and groups with yoga poses. Partner and group yoga poses help build confidence, mindfulness of others, and community. Have the children try Double Cobra Pose while lying on their bellies and facing one another. They can then press their hands against one another and lift up their heads and shoulders. In Group Tree Pose the children stand in a circle while in Tree Pose with their hands held together or on one another's shoulders.
After all of that exploring, it is time for the jungle animals to rest in Savasana. Everyone can lower themselves onto their backs and lie as still and quiet as a little mouse. Breathe in and out through your nose deeply and know that you have made your body and mind stronger.
This Jungle Yoga Adventure with yoga poses and games helps kids become aware of their breath, body, and the benefit of working together. By having children change their position and poses in several ways, it can help them modify their mood, awareness and actions both inside and out.
Sara Weis is a leading expert in yoga for kids, bestselling author of Go Go Yoga for Kids: A Complete Guide to Using Yoga with Kids, and creator of the Kids Yoga Challenge Pose Cards. She has over 17 years of experience teaching in the public schools and has led hundreds of kids' yoga classes. She is a certified kid and adult yoga instructor and holds a Master's Degree in education.

'Go Topless Day' Is a Thing. But Is It For You?
Ryan McVay—Getty Images
By Megan Lasher
The Free The Nipple movement has gained a lot of traction, making its way all the way up the chain of social media to her majesty Kendall Jenner. Now, freed nipples will have even more freedom with this Sunday's "holiday," Go Topless Day.
The day seems like a step in the right direction for those who want to reclaim nudity. Women should wear what they want when they want, and taking Go Topless Day for its face value suggests just that, according to supporters. It's liberating, it's radical, it's the bra-burning feminism that challenges the way we think about bodies.
According to the GoTopless website, Go Topless Day organized by women, for women, and scheduled to coincide with Women's Equality Day. "It is only logical that GoTopless Day protests (or celebrations depending on the legal status of your city) would fall around Women's Equality Day since the right to go topless for women is based on gender equality as their right to vote once was," the organization writes on its page.

Unfortunately, but perhaps not surprisingly, plenty of men are expressing their enthusiasm on Twitter. Will Go Topless Day just be another opportunity for leering, or slut-shaming?

Captain Rupert, You are awesome! My son Gustavo Baptista and I had a memorable experience fishing for Red for the first time. You know when to help and when to step back and let us work independently and successfully. Your tips were wonderful. We will be back and bring other fishing lovers with us.
Lowcountry Outdoor Adventures was the best fishing I've done in a long time. Addison Rupert You are the man.
We chartered out a trip with Addison and had the best time ! anyone looking for a great captain to put you on the fish you cant go wrong with Addison. I will surely go out with hom again. Ask him about his winter trips ! Thanks for a great time Addison, see you soon.
Had a great day with Captain Addison Rupert. He worked extremely hard to make sure we had a great experience. Fished with my two sons and it was a day to remember. I have done a number of charters and no one has ever given us the service and experience Addison did. He kept us active and catching fish all day. He exceeded all my expectations. Thanks Addison. We look forward to coming back in the summer and fall.
My son and I went fishing with Addision this past Saturday and had a great time. I caught my first redfish, and had no idea what great fighters they are. Addison put us right on the fish and knew exactly how to catch them. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great day of fishing in the Lowcountry!
My son and I had a terrific morning. Addison knows where the fish are and what to use to catch them. We had a great time, caught 15" redfish, and are already looking forward to our next trip!
Addison is a first class person and guide. We had a fantastic day on the water and caught plenty of fish despite less than desirable conditions. Keep it man, you've got it going on!
It was an awsome exsperiance!!!! Captain addison knew where to find the fish,knew exsactly what approach to use to getem on the hook!!!!!!!!!!! I recommend this charter anytime! I am already planning another one!!!
My son and I booked with Addison hoping to have some fun like we used to in Texas. We surpassed that very quickly. As soon as we hit the boat we were getting bait then had a 29" Red boated and released in under an hour. This was followed by many more. We also learned about fishing the bays of the the Charleston area. This was a great trip and highly recommended to all.
Work brought me to South Carolina but what I found one Saturday was a young fishing guide who carried himself like veteran on the water. I had been red fishing before in the Louisiana marshes. Captain Addison put me on the fish in no time and quickly schooled me in the art of fishing Reds Carolina style. I leave to go home this week and will be marking up my calendar for a follow up trip. Thanks for a memorable experience. Keep doing what your doing Captain Addison! You are a wonderful spokesman to the beauty that is the South Carolina coast and it's wildlife.
My brother-in-law, cousin, and I went out last Thursday. Talk about knowledgeable. Captain Addison knew his geography and took us to pinpoint locations where we caught plenty of fish. The entire experience was extremely comfortable and worry free, but most of all, it was FUN! As a matter of fact, I had such a great time that my nephew and I will be going out again with Captain Addison on June 30. Can't wait!
I have known Addison and his family for many years. I have been fishing with him and his Dad several times. They are great people and you will find no other guide in the area that loves to fish as much as Addison. I think he would rather fish than sleep! He is great well mannered young man who will give you 110% effort to put you on the fish. He knows the area and all of the hot spots. I would recommend him to anyone and will put him up against any other guides!
I've been fishing for 30 plus years...wanted to get into some Red's again...I was hesitant when I first booked with capt. Addison....to young to teach me anything about catchin Red's......Man was i wrong, best day on the water in over 30 years....he will definatley get more of my business!!!
Great guide. Really knows the area and how to put you on the fish. Marty Lee said: It was a joy to fish with Addison, and I recommend him highly. He has a vast knowledge of the creeks and fish locations along with a great personality that will make all feel welcome aboard his charter boat. The tackle and rods are superior offering the most of any fight and boat is perfect for angling of any sort. Keep up the good work Captain!!!

Heisman, from A to Zach Wilson
November 29, 2020 November 29, 2020 Rick Istvan
by Rick Istvan | The idiom from A-Z has a very simple meaning. The phrase refers to the beginning to the end and everything in between.
Stats or fiction
When you are scouting a player, you want to look at all of the players' statistics and attributes. The hopes are that these stats are going to be indicative of how the player will perform at the next level. When considering the quarterback, there are at least 15 key elements that evaluators take into consideration. A few of those stats are as follows: pass attempts, completions, completion percentage, touchdowns, interceptions, and a partridge in a pear tree. However, after examining all these things, why don't some give credit where credit is due? Unless you come from a Power 5 conference, you're overlooked. However, if you dig deeper, sometimes you will find that diamond in the rough.
The Brady hunch
In 1999 there was a football player in Ann Arbor Michigan named Tom Brady. At 6'4 225lbs there wasn't anything particularly glaring about Brady. In his senior year in college Brady played in 11 games. He attempted 295 passes and completed 180 0f them. Those 180 completions tallied Brady 2,217 yards, 16 touchdowns, six interceptions, and a 138.0 QB rating. While these aren't horrible statistics, Brady wasn't even on the Heisman radar. Tim Couch. Donovan McNabb, Akili Smith, Daunte Culpepper, and Cade McNown were all drafted in the first round in the 1999 draft ahead of Brady. Finally, in the 6th round with the 199th pick, the New England Patriots picked Tom Brady. The rest is history.
Trask and you shall receive
The signal-caller for the 6-1 University of Florida is Heisman hopeful Kyle Trask. Trask has put up some impressive numbers of his own this season. For the Gators, Trask has 174 completions on 246 attempts. He has also thrown for 2,554 yards, 31 touchdowns, and three interceptions. It doesn't hurt that Trask has 6'6″ 240 lb TE, Kyle Pitts catching 24 receptions and eight of his 31 touchdown passes. As of November 24, 2020, Trask was leading the Heisman race with 56 points.
Junior Alabama quarterback Mac Jones is currently number two in the Heisman Trophy watch with 50 points. It's no surprise Jones is as talented as he is. Mac's father, Gordon Jones, played tennis at Florida State and Flagler, before going on and playing professional tennis for several years. Mac's mother Holly and brother Will both attended Mercer College, where Holly excelled at tennis and Will at soccer. Following in her mother and father's footsteps, Sarah Jones, Mac's older sister, played tennis at Charleston University. So far this season, Jones has led the Crimson Tide to a 7-0 record. With 155 completions in 201 attempts, Jones has thrown for 2,425 yards and found a receiver in the end-zone 18 times with only 3 interceptions. With two games left in the regular season watch for Mac to be on the attack for the Heisman Trophy.
Cougar on the prowl
The BYU Cougars are 9-0 and hunting for a Bowl game. One of the reasons the Cougars are so fierce is their Jr quarterback Zach Wilson. Wilson has had an amazing season. When you look at Zach's stats, outside of not playing in a Power 5 conference, it makes you wonder why Wilson isn't closer to Trask on the list. Zach Wilson has completed 176 passes on 237 attempts. That is almost a 75% completion rate. What does this mean? For every 4 times, Wilson throws the ball he completes three of those passes. With those 176 completions, Wilson has thrown for 2,724 yards, 26 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. That's more yards and touchdowns than Jones, Wilson also has one less interception.
Scheduling Conflict
Some may argue the Florida and BYU's schedules are different, with BYU having an easier schedule. BYU's 2020 schedule was supposed to be a better one. The Cougars would've played Utah, Michigan State, Arizona State, Minnesota, and Stanford. However, due to COVID-19, the Big Ten and PAC-12 conferences decided to play conference games only. So, with one announcement BYU was no scrambling to find opponents. In my opinion, BYU is a good team. No matter where you look, Zach Wilson's stats are undeniable. BYU is still undefeated, Wilson is still a Heisman candidate and the Cougars will be in a bowl game. Power 5 conference or not, talent is talent and Zach Wilson is beaming with it.
Trevor the Tiger
Lawrence needs no introduction. He has achieved many accolades at Clemson. In 2018, Lawrences freshman year, he was awarded the Touchdown Club of Columbus Archie Griffin Award, (Most Valuable Player) and Shaun Alexander Freshman of the Year, ACC Rookie of the Year, ACC Offensive Rookie of the Year, second-team All-ACC, AP ACC Newcomer of the Year and All-ACC Academic selection. In 2019, Lawrence earned the Tim Bourret Award, given to the player who best represents himself, his teammates, and Clemson University in the media. He also achieved first-team All-ACC selection, a second straight All-ACC Academic selection, and a two-time ACC Honor Roll selection (2018-19).
With all of those accolades, Lawrence's most prolific achievements arguably came in 2018. In 1985, Oklahoma's Jamelle Holieway became the first freshman quarterback to lead his team to a National Championship. No other freshman QB had been able to achieve this feat. Eventually, in 2019, of course, Lawrence successfully broke that streak. Trevor Laled his team to a National Championship. Trevor Lawrence accomplished this amazing feat by leading Clemson against Alabama in the 2019 National Championship game. Lawrence did this by mauling number one powerhouse Alabama 44-16 finishing with a 15-0 record. After becoming the first quarterback in 40 years to beat two top-5 opponents by 25 or more points in a single season, Lawrence was selected to Rivals' All-Bowl Team for his performance in the College Football Playoff. After becoming the first quarterback in 40 years to beat two Top-5 opponents by 25 or more points in a single season. Trevor Lawrence has arguable had an incredible college career and should make a great pro. Undoubtedly, this tiger's eye is on the Heisman.
Fields of dreams
Justin Fields in no stranger to the Heisman candidate list. Being nominated in 2019, after the greatest season ever by an Ohio State QB, fields finds himself on the list once again. Ohio State has only played 4 games due to the Big East having a late start. Over those 4 games Justin Fields has lead the Buckeyes to a 4-0 start. Fields has 90 completions on 113 attempts, for 1,208 yards with 13 touchdowns and three interceptions. Whereas these stats don't seem impressive, to be fair, Fields has the benefit of the doubt.
Bang for the Buckeye
In 2019, when Fields was in the Heisman hunt, he had completed 238 passes on 354 attempts. Fields threw for 3,273 yards, 41 touchdowns and three interceptions. He also rushed the ball for 484 yards and 10 touchdowns. Even with stats like that Fields still finished third on the Heisman voting in 2019. With Joe Burrow winning and Jalen Hurts coming in second, imagine what their stats must've been.
Division by conference
The Power 5 conferences consist of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), Big Ten Conference, Big 12 Conference, Pac-12 Conference, and the Southeastern Conference (SEC). However, there are 10 total conferences in NCAA Division 1 football. BYU plays in the FBS Independent Schools conference. I don't think they have gotten the credit they deserve, nor has Zach Wilson. BYU is currently 9-0. Yet, in the recent CFP rankings, BYU is ranked #14, behind three teams with two losses. Georgia #9, Oklahoma #11 and Iowa State #13 all have two losses a piece yet they are all ranked over BYU.
Bowl games, Heismans, and Drafts Oh my!
Zach Wilson's stats didn't go unnoticed, earning him a spot on the Heisman candidate list. With that said, in my opinion, chances are he won't win. Trask, Jones, Lawrence, and Fields are all incredibly talented and should make incredible pro quarterbacks. I personally think that Wilson will as well. Until Tuesday, January 5th, starting at 7 pm, we won't know who will be hoisting the Heisman. At least we have all the Bowl games to watch to tackle time until then. The question is, will BYU find a way to sneak into a Bowl Game, or will they be poached by a Power Five team?
BYU, byu football, college football, Heisman, Heisman Award, Heisman Trophy, Zach Wilson

The clan descends from the MacNeills of the Western Isles, who settled in Ireland before the 15th century, apparently accepting as their overlord Con O'Neill of Ulster, in 1471. They were for centuries employed as mercenary soldiers (gallowglass), and seem to have been a mix of catholic and protestant. The usual spelling form today is Macgreal, although this is only one of many spellings including McGreal, McGrayle, McGrail, MacGrill, Mcgrull, McGeirl, McGriele, and no doubt others. The change from MacNeill to firstly, Mag Reill, and then to the 'modern' forms, is a result of dialect and poor spelling, it is difficult to tell which is most to blame! What is certain is that from the 17th century onwards the surname became popular in Counties Mayo and Leitrim, and it is said the clan members were substantial freeholders in those areas. Examples of the surname recordings include Hugh MacGreal of Leitrim, christened there on February 18th 1716, and Michael McGreal, who married Margaret Kelly, at Paddington, London, on July 28th 1829. Ann McGrale was a 'famine' emigrant on the ship 'Arabian', bound for New York on June 19th 1846, whilst James McGeirl, also recorded as McGairl, and McGirl (!), appears in the registers of Oystermouth, Glamorgan, three times between August 28th 1869, and August 6th 1871. The coat of arms associated with the surname has the blazon of a red field, a silver wolf rampant, and a gold chief. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of John MacNeill, which was dated 1329, granted the lands of Larglanfeild, Scotland, during the reign of King Robert the Bruce, of Scotland, 1306 - 1330. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to 'develop' often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

Q: Overlay geom_line within a categorical x axis for each group - ggplot2 I want to make a plot like this:

The boxes would represent the distribution of a continuous variable within groups; the red circles are the points showing all of the actual observations. So far, so good. This would be simple with geom_boxplot + geom_point with a group aesthetic.
Here are the two twists:

*

*The horizontal position of the points are not a random jitter. They are instead an X-Y coordinate utilizing a continuous X axis instead of a categorical axis

*The line is a trendline that is fit on those points.

Some context:
This plot is showing usage of a product (Y axis) vs allowed usage (X). The X axis groups are mutually exclusive, discrete tiers on what is essentially an infinite, continuous variable for usage. EG, 1-4, 5-9, 10-20, etc. It doesn't feel crazy to me from a visual standpoint to plot the continuous within those groups, does that make sense? But I have no idea how I'd get started on getting ggplot2 to agree with me.
My preference is to have the box plots be evenly spaced along the X axis, but if I need to start with the axis as continuous, and have the groups take up proportionate space on the X axis then I would settle for that (likely with a logged axis to prevent the lower, narrow groups from being completely smushed.
This should work as sample data:

df <- structure(list(usage = c(1L, 4L, 2L, 5L, 4L, 1L, 2L, 98L, 9L,
                               4L, 6L, 6L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 3L, 2L, 5L, 1L), allowed = c(2, 20,
                                                                                3, 3, 5, 5, 1, 1, 1, 5, 10, 5, 7, 12, 2, 5, 23, 10, 5, 2), id = c(1055L,
                                                                                2155L, 6637L, 11068L, 2070L, 8524L, 9157L, 5963L, 7593L, 3470L,
                                                                                3557L, 7469L, 9142L, 408L, 9446L, 1552L, 4788L, 7233L, 8464L,
                                                                                2188L), group = c("A", "B", "A", "A", "A", "A", "A", "A", "A",
                                                                                "A", "B", "A", "B", "B", "A", "A", "B", "B", "A", "A")), row.names = c(NA,
                                                                                -20L), class = c("tbl_df", "tbl", "data.frame"))

A: Here's what I came up with for you:
# you had some values that were = 98 in usage and throwing everything off..
df <- df %>% dplyr::filter(usage < 50)

p <-
ggplot(df, aes(allowed, usage)) +
  geom_boxplot(aes(group=group)) +
  geom_point() +
  geom_smooth(alpha=0, method='lm') +
  facet_wrap(~group, scales='free_x', strip.position = 'bottom') +
  theme_classic() +
  theme(
    axis.text.x = element_blank(),       # remove x axis text
    axis.ticks.x = element_blank(),      # remove tick marks on x axis
    axis.title.x = element_blank(),      # remove title for axis
    strip.background = element_blank(),  # no box on facet label
    strip.placement = 'outside',         # facet label is outside axis line
    strip.text = element_text(size=12),
    panel.spacing.x = unit(0, 'pt')      # remove space between facets
  )
p

The general idea is to consider that you kind of have 2 x axes here.  The primary axis by which you want to plot your points is df$allowed, whereas you then want to group based on df$group.  The easiest solution I can think of here was to treat each value of df$group as a separate facet, and then "stitch" the facets together by setting the space in-between them to zero.  Seems to work well.
The only comment here otherwise is that the boxes might be a bit too close together for your liking - making discrimination of the points of one group to be distinguished from another.  Since each group is a facet, and therefore a completely separate plot, you can "squish" the boxes together by adding/expanding the primary x axis for each facet like so:
p + scale_x_continuous(expand=expansion(mult=c(0.8)))

Note: I had to remove a few super-high values in usage in order to be able to actually see your plots properly.  I imagine this is an artifact from copying over your data (like a missing value).

This contemplative prayer station is intentionally focused on our expression of personal longing. We yearn for God to fit the pieces together and fill in the gaps and brokenness of our daily lives.
Cover the table with the white table cloth. Unroll the chicken wire and wrap it around the two metal frames. Cut the chicken wire using the wire cutters and secure using the zip ties. Lay the frames flat on the ground on top of each other. Along one side, attach the two frames together using zip ties. Sit the frames up and open like a book. Place the frame on the middle back of the table top to be used as a "wall". Arrange the blank prayer papers and extra pens on the table. Place some candles around the table or in small groupings (a safe distance from the papers).Next to the table arrange the easel to display the instruction poster. Lead by example, write a few prayer requests and place the papers in the Wailing Wall.
Often in our stories it may feel like there are gaps that are not filled in; parts of our story where we desire to see God speak into, filling in the gaps the way only He can. Take a slip of paper and write a prayer. Ask God to fill in the gaps and spaces that remain empty without Him. Then fold or roll your paper and tuck it into a crack or space in the wall.

A New Green Revolution, but....
Last year, I finally subscribed to High Country News. One of the first copies that I recieved had an article entitle "The New Green Revolution." This was about farmers in Montana who were dedicated to doing it the right way, with a respect for that land and a desire to ensure the future of the small town where they lived.
One of the ventures was named "Wheat Montana"/.
But vanguard agriculture is about more than just organics. Just ask Dean Folkvord, the 44-year-old CEO of Wheat Montana. He began by taking over his family farm, which his father started in 1958 with 250 acres. Now it's 15,000 acres. Folkvord doesn't see expansion as necessarily bad. "That's the way the rest of the world works right now," he says. Efficiency matters, however: "When we started farming, we were getting 20 bushels per acre. Now we're at 40, even 50 bushels per acre."
Wheat Montana brands its product with names such as "Bronze Chief Hard Red Spring Wheat." Although it's not USDA-certified organic, Wheat Montana uses an independent lab to ensure that there are no herbicide or pesticide residues in its products. The company advertises its products as "Better than Organic."
Folkvord has also figured out something else. "One of the myths is that farmers produce food," he says. "That's not true. They grow the raw products."
I was lucky to find Wheat Montana flour are a store in Gilroy recently. Since we bake our own bread, we tried their "Bronze Chief Whole Wheat" flour. It made great bread and it was worth paying a little more for a quailty product, especially when I knew a bit about the background of the company.
The problem... the only store carrying their product was WalMart.
Oh, well. Maybe I can talk Trader Joe's into carrying it when they open their store in Morgan HIll.

Malaysia: Opposition's grand old men search for support among youth
Centennial Asia > The Asian Pulse > Daily News > Malaysia: Opposition's grand old men search for support among youth
Former premier Mahathir Mohamad and fellow opposition stalwart Lim Kit Siang spent nearly two hours on 21 Nov 17 night fielding searching questions from an audience of about 200 youths, as they attempted to engage a crucial votebank that is apparently becoming disinterested in politics.
The veteran duo shared a sofa in Petaling Jaya, Kuala Lumpur's satellite city which has been an opposition stronghold over the past decade – a period during which the Umno-led Barisan Nasional lost its customary two-thirds control of Parliament, and subsequently the popular vote majority, for the first time.
But the opposition's recent electoral successes could be reversed if it fails to revitalise voters below the age of 40, who have been more inclined to vote against Prime Minister Najib Razak's government in previous polls.
A survey by top pollster Merdeka Center in Aug 17 found that 7 of 10 voters below the age of 30 did not care about politics and believed politicians were not trustworthy.
The Election Commission has also revealed that two-thirds of unregistered voters are below the age of 30. As of Jun 17, 3.8 million eligible Malaysians have yet to register. This works out to more than 25% of the 14.6 million who have enrolled.
Despite younger leaders rising through opposition ranks as compared to Barisan, Tun Mahathir, 92, and Democratic Action Party (DAP) supremo Lim, 76, remain Harapan's most recognisable faces.
While the opposition welcomed Dr M with open arms as an asset to boost flagging support among the Malay majority, many young voters are still sceptical of the man whose 22-year rule was marked by claims of abuse of power and financial scandal – many of which were fodder for Mr Lim's attacks against the Mahathir administration that ended in 2003.
Issues such as the 1987 Operation Lalang dragnet that saw 106 people, including Mr Lim, detained without trial, central bank foreign exchange losses amounting to tens of billions of ringgit, and accusations that Dr Mahathir undermined the independence of institutions such as the judiciary and police – often cited as the reason why Mr Najib has not had to answer for 1MDB in court – took centrestage at the townhall.
Self-professed opposition supporter Tharmelinggem Pillai, 24, asked Mr Lim if Harapan came to power, "would you create a Royal Commission of Inquiry to investigate the misdoings of the past, for example the wealth of Tun Mahathir's sons… the BNM scandal. Or is it okay now that he is your partner?"
The Gelang Patah MP, who garnered the highest votes in DAP's recent party polls, responded that "if there is perception of abuses of power there should be a full investigation" but insisted that "the most important thing today is to bring about change" and exhorted the audience not to focus on the past but the next 30 years.
Previous studies have shown that opposition parties fared better with younger voters. Data analytics firm Politweet found that there was a drop-off in Malay support for the opposition above the age of 40 at the 2013 general elections. There was also a Malay swing towards the opposition up to age 36, while those older shifted towards Barisan.

The Definitive Guide to Podcast Marketing
by Matt Giovanisci | Last Updated: November 18, 2019
We launched an uncensored personal finance podcast called Listen Money Matters that got a total of about 1,000 downloads in the first six months. Not exactly a success story.
So how did we crack the top 100 podcasts on iTunes in less than a year?
The following method is packed with tips, tactics, and ball-busting work. It includes everything we did, everything we learned, and everything we know about podcast marketing.
1. Don't Define Your Audience. Define Yourself!
Difficulty Level: Easy as Shit
Every successful podcast is self- serving.
Marc Maron (WTF with Marc Maron) started his podcast out of desperation. He talked to fellow comedians to help deal with his issues.
Chris Hardwick (Nerdist) wanted to chat with his nerdy friends and geek-out with celebrities.
Sarah Koenig started the Serial podcast by solving a murder someone emailed her.
You don't have to come up with an "avatar" or "ideal listener" to craft the perfect podcast. Make the show for yourself. Make the show you would listen to consistently.
We Created Listen Money Matters For Ourselves
The idea behind Listen Money Matters was to create a podcast that we wanted to hear – a personal finance podcast that would appeal to a 30-year-old beer drinking male. In other words: me.
Our show has a heavy metalcore theme song I wrote. We began each show talking about craft beer or cocktails we're drinking during the recording.
And we cursed a lot.
Our reviews were mixed. They were mostly positive, but we got some that were harsh. I had to remind myself that the people who listened loved us. We had a rabid fanbase who would send us beer in the mail and donated thousands of dollars to keep us going.
We created a podcast to find like-minded people who would enjoy what we enjoyed. And it turns out our audience wasn't made up of 30-year old craft beer drinking males.
We had a melting pot of males, females, lesbians, seniors, finance nerds, business owners, Australians, tweens, and more!
How To Define Yourself
Make a list of shows you love. Not just podcasts, but TV shows as well. Andrew and I loved The Colbert Report, Arrested Development, and This American Life. We found ways to work elements of those shows into ours.
Write down ten major qualities about yourself (and anyone else involved in your podcast). Find the commonalities that will become your "avatar."
Don't copy; emulate. Just because everyone hires a former used car commercial announcer on Fiverr to create their intro, doesn't mean you have to. Try writing your own music. Try no intro music at all!
Ignore the fads. I noticed an influx of narrative-style podcasts after the success of Serial and Startup. I'm not saying you shouldn't start a narrative style podcast, but instead, do the show you would want to listen to and not because it's a trend.
2. Get Your Guests and Listeners Involved In Your Podcast
Difficulty Level: Easier said than done
At the beginning of every show, I read a new catchphrase as part of our intro. An example would be:
Hey everybody! Welcome to Listen Money Matters: the show that goes through you like shit through a goose.
Catchphrases like that were sent to us by fans via Twitter. I would give credit to the person who sent it in. Sometimes they would be serious, other times they would be odd and funny. But they were all created by fans and became the norm for a few reasons:
To involve the fans in the show in a unique way.
I wanted to improve our Twitter followers and engagement.
And I didn't feel like writing my own anymore.
Why Involving Listeners Works
Whenever I heard my name on the radio, or a podcast, or TV, or written in a blog post, I smiled. It's the greatest little feeling in the world when someone says your name in front of an audience.
We also gave out our email address at the beginning and even every episode and encouraged people to send us questions. We got so many emails filled with amazing questions that made it very easy for us to come up with episode content. It also gave us insight into what our audience was going through financially, which helped us create a better show.
We invested in Intercom just to keep up and keep track of all the emails we were receiving. In hindsight, I wouldn't have changed a thing. I just would have gotten more involved and hired help.
I think it's crucial to be available for your audience. Not just behind the mic, but in person and through any other means of communication.
Marc Maron is a great example of this. He is very transparent about his life on the show and active on Twitter communicating with his audience. At his standup shows, his audience brings him baked goods. For us, listeners sent us cases of beer.
Dan Harmon (Harmontown) does a live show and often invites members of his audience on stage to chat with him, and it's something we did during our only live show at FinCon, a financial blogger conference. We invited bloggers who were listening to our show live to come up and give one personal finance tip. Listen here.
Build a tight community around your podcast. Find ways to involve your listeners in your show. Every once in a while we would do episodes titled This Financial Life (a mock of This American Life) where we'd help a listener with their personal finances live on the podcast. We also did weekly episodes called 5 Questions (a mock of an old Daily Show bit) where we would answer five listener questions on the show.
8 Ways To Involve Podcast Listeners To Grow Your Audience
Ask them to submit a catchphrase, review, or something you can talk about on your show.
Give out your email address or website and ask for questions that you'll answer on the show
Start a community corkboard/forum where listeners can post events. Nerdist does this at the beginning of their episodes.
Ask listeners to submit game ideas. Comedy Bang Bang invites listeners to send theme music and "Would You Rather" scenarios for games they play on the show. They also ask for catchphrases.
Send an email to your guests asking them to share/review the show when it's live.
Email anyone or company you mention in each episode, asking them to share with their audience.
Create a hotline where listeners can call to vent, ask questions, or just tell you how much they love your show, and play the voicemails on the show.
Hold contests. Team up with another podcast with a large audience, or a company with a large audience, to offer prizes.
3. Develop A Social Media Mindset For Effective Podcast Promotion
Difficulty Level: Hard, but easier with time
If you Google "how to promote a podcast" chances are you will find a series of tips and tricks centered around social media tactics. The "Follow Everyone" Twitter strategy, the "Tweet The Same Thing 50 Times a Day" trick, and the "Hashtag Overload" are just a few common tricks I've seen recommended. All were resulting in stagnant growth and minor engagement.
Online marketers often forget the root of Social Media. Tweeting and posting your latest episodes over and over throughout different times of the day is not social. It's broadcasting. And if you're on Facebook, only 1% of your fans see it if no one Likes, Comments or Shares it.
I don't think social media is a waste of time. I believe that it plays a major role in podcast promotion, but you have to adopt the correct social media mindset.
1. Focus on ONE Social Media Network!
Pick one channel and dominate. At the very least pick two. Select Twitter and Facebook. There that was easy.
For my upcoming show, I'll be focusing on Twitter because I enjoy the platform more so than Facebook. Later, I will be expanding into Facebook as the show grows.
2. Start Conversations and Stop Broadcasting
Social media is not a place to broadcast your latest episodes. That's why we have email and RSS feeds. Social media is a chance for you to talk to your fans; have a conversation with them. Your fans are your best way to grow your audience.
Our show's success was based solely on the fact that our fans told their friends and family about our show. They would tell us on Twitter and Facebook and when they emailed us.
Podcasting is a one-way medium, and an excellent way to expand that is through social media. So don't think of it as a flat out promotional channel, but as a place to chat with fans, get ideas for shows, and connecting with future guests. Your social presence will grow the more you engage with your audience.
3. Ask Your Listeners For Questions To Ask Your Upcoming Guests
Tell your fans about an upcoming guest and ask them to submit questions. If you have a well-known guest, getting questions to ask from your fans will be easy. If you don't, make sure to describe who the person is and the expertise they bring to the table.
4. Develop User-Generated Content
Use social media as a way for fans to generate content for your show. Ask them to send you catchphrases or questions that need answering.
5. Post Behind-The-Scenes Photos
We had a tradition on our show where we would drink beer and talk about it at the beginning of each episode. We would take screenshots of us holding up the beers over Skype. Then, post them on Facebook and Twitter and tag the beer company in the photo.
Also, we would ask a question like, "who would like to try this beer?" to start a conversation.
6. Go Outside and Record a Podcast Episode
Show your listeners that you are a real person by taking personal photos and posting them. Go out for a drink with former guests and take a selfie. Go out to dinner with your sponsors and take a selfie. Host a live podcast and take a selfie with your audience. Do something different and record an entire podcast episode while driving in your car and take a selfie.
7. Partner Up With Other Podcasters
Forming partnerships is vital to the success of any podcast. You are never in competition with anyone. Make friends. Share what they create. Cheer on your friends and they will return the favor – it's good karma. Practice this!
4. The Top 10 List Podcast Promotion Strategy
Difficulty Level: Requires writing and emailing, so hard as hell!
Google, "best [your niche] podcasts." Create a spreadsheet listing every single post you can find that your podcast is not a part of but should be. Then, send a simple email to the blog owners asking if they would add your show to the list. Very few podcasters do this.
I imagine it has to do with the fear of rejection or reaching out. It was hard for me at first, too, but we were able to increase our search traffic and listeners with this tactic.
It's both a long-term and short-term strategy. If you get listed on a blog post that gets a lot of engaged traffic, chances are you'll see results quickly. But more often, it will play out long-term, earning you good links from relevant content. It's why having a kick-ass podcast landing page is so important.
5. Create a Kick-Ass Landing Page
A common mistake with landing pages is giving people way too many options. Even I struggle to simplify. I believe a good podcast landing page should have the following elements:
A way to quickly listen to the latest episode without scrolling.
A large and clear headline describing the show.
A big ass button that will allow them to subscribe on iTunes (and ONLY iTunes because it's the largest directory and biggest bang for your buck. Include other links but not as prominent).
A list of recent episodes.
A single way to communicate with the show via social media or email.
I did a fair amount of research when coming up with a design for this site. I scoured the internet for inspiration and came up pretty dry. However, there were a few that I found to be "not bad" and they are Serial, WTF, and Star Talk Radio.
6. The Definitive Guide Strategy
Difficulty Level: From experience, the most difficult but rewarding thing ever!
For the past two years, I've been searching for a podcast promotion guide and haven't found one that I liked. So, I decided to write one myself combining all the best tactics and the personal tips that worked for me in the past.
This is my primary strategy for growing any online business. I've created a six-figure pool care education business by setting up definitive guides based around pool care. But even more related, was a definitive guide we wrote to promote the Listen Money Matters podcast, An Illustrated Guide to Investment Types.
It was a collaborative guide that has continued to bring the podcast traffic and listeners. This guide took us a few weeks to create.
Definitive guides are a great long-term strategy for building an audience for any online project. I have articles on my sites that were written years ago and still bring in a massive amount of traffic and steady growth.
The Definitive Guide Action Plan
Survey your audience and perform online research to find a killer topic. If you don't have an audience, and your show is self-serving, create a definitive guide for yourself like this one.
Ask yourself the questions you want to know that should be included in the guide and find the answers.
Do a Google search to find all of the pages that talk about your topic. Start pulling out all of the best information into a note-taking app like Evernote.
Outline your guides like a book using all the data you've gathered and the questions you've answered. If you're using WordPress, put the outline into WordPress and just fill in all the headings as you go.
Once you're finished writing an insane amount of words, and you believe you'd covered the topic better than anyone else on the internet, edit and purge what's redundant or unnecessary – this includes words and sentences, and graphics and sections.
Add visual representation where needed. Don't add graphics for the sake of adding graphics. Graphics should serve an educational purpose.
Publish and promote that post as aggressively as if you were launching a new book or podcast. Repeat all the steps in this guide.
7. How to Get Interviewed On Other Podcasts
Difficulty Level: Hard to book, easy to speak
In 2008, I was invited on Martha Stewart Living Radio to talk about pool care during their morning show at 7 am on Sirius Satellite Radio. I remember my stomach dropping when I got the email. And I thought this was the game changer and my site was going to "BLOW UP!"
That morning, I was nervous and pacing by the recommended land-line, awaiting the call from Martha Stewart. The phone rang and scared the living shit out of me, even when I was expecting it. I picked up to a voice whispering, "Is this Matt?" I responded with a slight crack in my voice. "Ok, they're wrapping up the last segment, so hang on tight, and Mindy will introduce you."
Honestly, I had no idea if here name was Mindy. All I knew was that it was NOT Martha.
After the interview, I ran to my computer to check on Google Analytics and saw no bump in traffic. In fact, by the end of the day, I received less traffic on that day than every other day in that month. It turns out I didn't get the "Martha Bump" because that's not a thing. I made it up.
Being on Martha Stewart may not have gotten me instant success, but it paid off in other ways slowly over time.
Promoting your podcast on any other medium besides podcasting is a shotgun approach. By being a guest, you know the people hearing your voice already listen to podcasts making it a very low barrier to entry. In fact, it became our primary strategy for promoting our podcast.
1. Make a List of Every Podcast (No Matter How Big or Small) Where You'd Like to be a Guest
Create a Trello board and set up four Columns: Podcasts, Contacted, Interested, Booked. Add all the podcasts and contact info to the first column.
2. Craft a Short But Interesting Pitch Email
Write the email that would sell YOU on yourself. Write down some interesting facts about yourself. Put yourself in the other podcasters shoes. Write down the things that you'd want to hear from a guest pitch.
When I pitched myself to other shows, I always included a link to my rap video. It was something truly unique and makes for an interesting topic to discuss. It's what sets me apart from other guests. I also include my audio equipment so that they know I'm committed to making the episode sound great.
Craft each email specifically for the show and avoid a mass copy and paste job. Also, you don't have to be so god damn professional. You're human and they're human. Be a human.
3. Track Pitches and Send Follow-Ups
After you send a pitch, move the card over to the next column: Contacted. It's also a good idea to enable Card Aging, so you can get a visual representation of how long those cards have been sitting in each column.
Assume everyone is busy and not just being a dick. Don't follow up a few days later and be like, "what the fuck, bro?" Give it a few weeks and follow-up with a short email ending with a question. Who knows? Your email could have ended up in their spam folder, or you had the wrong email address.
The goal is the move the cards along the columns and book as many interviews as you can consistently. It's not just a promotion strategy, but it's also a way to come up with content and guests.
8. Make a Rap Video
Difficulty Level: Hard but fun
The real idea here is to do something no one has ever done to promote a podcast. I did this for Listen Money Matters, and I did it again for the Driven podcast.
Up until this time in the online marketing space, I've created three different rap videos which you can see here, here, and below.
When this video first came out, it flopped. No one watched it even though we promoted the hell out of it. I believe that it was a combination of people assuming it would have been shitty and not being funny enough.
The truth is, this video did more for our show than just about any other form of podcast promotion we tried.
Over the course of the year, this video gained us attention when other websites started linking to it. Both Quartz and The Telegraph wrote about it, bringing very little traffic, but a ton of street cred and link juice.
Not everyone will create a rap video, but this is an exercise of thinking outside of the podcasting world to do some smart promotion.
9. Buying A Podcast Audience
Difficulty Level: Lame
If you got some extra cash burning a hole in your pocket, go ahead and buy some Facebook ads. I've been using Facebook ads for my other projects and find them to work on occasion. However, they are not worth the effort and are very short-term. I'd much rather focus on creating content that will live on the internet forever and consistently bring me new listeners for the rest of my existence.
Facebook ads worked for us when we had Mr. Money Mustache on our show. He has a HUGE audience and rarely does interviews. We created a great show with him, and his fans LOVED it. They shared it on Reddit, Facebook, and his forum. He also shared it on his massively large Twitter account. All of which got us a quick fuck-ton of new listeners. All we did was leverage it for a short time.
We bought a few Facebook ads that promoted this episode to people who were fans of Mr. Money Mustache, and for just a few hundred bucks, we were able to capitalize on that ONE episode.
We tried it a few more times with other guests and didn't get nearly the same response. That episode continued to be linked to and talked about on social media without us having to buy any more Facebook ads.
If you're still interested, here's a great post from Jon Loomer about how to promote a podcast using Facebook Ads.
10. Focus On Your Show Notes
If you're anything like me, creating show notes for your episodes is the most dreaded task of publishing a podcast. The truth is, you should take your show notes just as seriously as you take your show.
Treat your show notes like real blog posts that provide legitimate value and useful links. You will start ranking in Google for certain episodes with this tactic.
I'm not talking about transcripts. Sure, they provide more words for SEO value, but if they are not cleaned and formatted and provide real value, then you are wasting your time and money. Write something new. Turn your episodes into legible content. Provide links to the things you talk about in your show. Not as bulleted lists, but with some context.
If you don't want to write show notes, you should hire someone to write them for you. You can start by reaching out to your audience because they already listened to your show. Or you can hire a kick-ass freelance writer. They listen, perform additional research, and turn each one of the episode posts into incredible SEO bait, helping to reel in more listeners via Google.
29 More Gimmicks to Promote Your Podcast (and my unsolicited thoughts about each one)
I listed out each gimmick I've come across and added my thoughts.
1. Repeat Your Most Popular Episodes
We looked at what episodes got the most downloads and tried to create similar episodes in the future. We also tried different types of episodes like Q&As and measured to see if we should continue doing them.
2. Improve The Audio Quality of Your Podcast
It'll set you apart from a lot of other shows and make you more likely to get featured since there are employees at iTunes listening. I'm an audio engineer so I take audio seriously and so should you.
Use your ears. If it sounds good, then it probably is. Invest in a good mic. I recommend the Audio Technica ATR 2100 and a good intro USB mic. If you want to get serious, invest in a good USB mixing board (I use a Mackie ProFx8) and a dynamic mic (I use the Shure SM7B which is a standard broadcast mic used by Marc Maron).
3. Write Good Show Notes
It helps SEO in the long run. Each of our episode show notes had over 500 words and some rank very high on Google bringing us listeners via search. I like this Gimmick.
4. Try HelpAReporterOut.com and/or RadioGuestList.com
These are easy to sign up for and worth checking out to see if there are opportunities to be interviewed. It's also an easy way to find podcast guests if you're trying to find an expert on a particular topic.
5. Create More Podcast Episodes
It works well to speed up growth, but it can lead to burn out. We started with producing an episode once a week for the first eight months.
Then in May of 2014, we experimented with doing a daily episode for the next 31 days and our downloads exploded. We continued daily but got burned out. Daily can be very good for making money but I don't recommend it anymore. It's overwhelming.
6. Use YouTube to Publish and Promote Your Podcast
I like the idea, but more as a means for exclusive content as a giveaway to people who sign up for your email list. Marc Maron creates two-minute video clips to promote each episode with just a simple still image.
YouTube is the second largest search engine, but I'm not sure how much YouTubers will convert over into loyal podcast subscribers. I won't be doing this, but I'm not against it.
7. Join or Create a Podcast Network
Sure, why not. As long as you have creative control over your show.
8. Participate in Podcast Awards
Lame, but easy enough.
9. Post in Similar Communities
I would only recommend this if you're extremely passionate and enjoy participating in Facebook Groups or Forums based on your topic. I'm not much of a writer and find a hard time with this, so for me, it's not worth the agony of writing.
10. Answer Questions on Quora
Sounds like a lot of work for little payoff.
11. Add a Link To Your Podcast in Your Email Signature
This one is a no-brainer. Probably won't get you much, but easy enough to do once and leave it alone.
12. Submit to Social Networks Like StumbleUpon, Pinterest, Reddit, etc
From experience, I can tell you that Reddit is the only good source on this list. StumbleUpon can suck it, Pinterest is the wrong crowd, and Google+ is dead.
13. Add Share Buttons To Your Show Notes
Yes, but make them yourself instead of using the Javascript-heavy ones provided by each social media network. I recommend installing Font Awesome on your site and creating your own share links using this.
14. Promote Your Podcast With Google Adwords
If you're not selling something with a direct ROI, avoid this. Too expensive.
15. Use Facebook Ads, Sponsored Tweets, or Promoted Pins
I'm not just a fan of paying for fans.
16. Get More Podcast Reviews on iTunes and Stitcher
There is this notion that the more reviews your podcast has, the higher you are ranked in iTunes. However, there is no proven correlation.
In fact, outside studies done by Libsyn (podcast hosting software) suggests that reviews hold little weight as compared to hitting the "Subscribe" button. Although, one could say that the more reviews you have, the more one is persuaded to subscribe, but the bottom line is reviews don't hold weight when it comes to the ranking algorithm.
What that means is you should absolutely get more reviews because, in turn, that will help you get you more subscribers.
17. Create a Series of Episodes Telling a Story
Podcasts like Serial or S-Town do well because each episode makes you want to listen the next one.
The show LOST was notorious for leaving cliffhangers with the promise that they'd be resolved in the next episode, so of course, you'd tune in. LOST was like a drug that left you itching and half dead in an abandoned house.
18. Leave Feedback and Reviews on Other Podcasts
John Lee Dumas left a review on our podcast. I don't think he ever heard a single episode. He put his show name in there. I don't really see the value in this.
19. Speak at Events (Not Just Podcasting Ones)
Sure, get out of your comfort zone and promote. I wouldn't speak solely to promote your podcast though. That won't have a great ROI. But speaking to build up your personal brand is a good idea, especially if you're paid for it.
20. Go To Events (Not Just Podcasting Ones)
Yes, get out of the podcast studio and meet your fans. This is life-changing and had a profound affect on me as a podcaster.
21. Create and Grow an Email List
If you're trying to build a blog/podcast, you should be collecting emails. You should email your fans letting them know that a new episode is live if they want to be notified for that. Give them options. Offer them exclusive content for signing up, like bonus episodes or videos.
Use Mailchimp. It's free at first.
22. Cross Podcast Promotion
Create something special for your favorite podcasts. I remixed The Fizzle Show theme music as a metalcore tune (as you know, I'm a fan of metalcore) and created the theme music for The $100 MBA Show and Podcast Movement.
I also would record bumpers for our friendly rival Stacking Benjamins. Have fun and cross promote. Every podcaster should be your friend, not your competitor.
Find a niche that has dabbled in giving advice about your subject (e.g. a podcast about marketing that has done an episode about how they produce their podcast) and get them to link to you.
23. Reply To Every Comment On Your Website
You should be connected with your listeners. If anyone tweets, comments, or emails you, respond quickly. This pays off in word-of-mouth promotion.
24. Create Your Own Podcast App
App stores are just another directory. I don't believe it's worth the time and money to create an app to promote a podcast unless you were making money on it. The marketing overlap seems pretty low.
25. Create Audience Podcast Promotion Tools
I think creating an online street team is a brilliant idea. Come up with fun ways to have your fans promote your show and reward them with a point system or actual merchandise. Create banners they can put up on their own websites.
26. Add Tweetable Text To Your Podcast Show Notes
This is easy enough to add in your show notes. We did this for all of our episodes but saw very little activity from them. The tweetable text has to be really good and valuable for this to work. Don't make inside jokes tweetable. Lesson learned.
27. Get Business Cards For Your Show
I've said this before and I'll say it again. The business card is dead. Don't waste the money.
28. Sell Swag
I think it's a good idea to give away cool swag to your listeners. They will be blown away by this gesture making them more loyal to your show. Always look to build brand ambassadors. Word of mouth is the best marketing.
29. Give Out T-shirts
We thought long and hard about doing this and our listeners wanted us to. I say go for it. I doubt anyone has ever seen someone wearing a t-shirt of a podcast and started listening to it. It's a good idea to give out shirt for free to your listens to build a loyal army of word-of-mouth promoters.

Phew! That was a lot. I'm glad you made it through. How do you feel?
Are you excited? Do you have a game plan? I know I'm pumped and ready to start promoting!
Share this with your podcasting friends. Remember, we're all friends here. Let's help each other out and make podcasting even bigger. When we ban together, it helps out everyone. Power in numbers.
I Launched a Business-Focused Podcast Because Why Not?
For years I've debated doing another podcast. I ran a successful one in 2014 that's still going and extremely popular. Can I do it again? Who knows?
Matt Wants to Be a Guest On Your Podcast
Matt Giovanisci will bring "value" and entertainment as a guest on your podcast. Don't let his looks and charm fool you. He can talk about a lot of topics.
The Podcast "Marketing Burst" Experiment
Can we quickly grow a new podcast using techniques we know have worked before? Can we do it again and is our strategy repeatable? This experiment to perform a podcast "marketing burst" should reveal the answers. Hopefully. Maybe. Who knows?

How AI & Machine Learning Tools Could Benefit Filmmaking
By Debra Kaufman
Before an NAB 2019 panel discussion on machine learning and artificial intelligence in filmmaking began, Corto chief executive Yves Bergquist wanted to make one thing clear. "AI and machine learning are used interchangeably," said Bergquist, who also leads research in AI and neurosciences at USC's Entertainment Technology Center. "But they are not. Machine learning is a property of AI. The ML app will have opinions about the data, but AI will use ML to have agency over that data and take action." Bergquist asked the panel how filmmakers can leverage ML and AI to create optimization and efficiencies as well as better artistic content.
Cinematographer Andrew Shulkind, who is also director of imaging/immersive media strategy at M. Bonnieux Inc., noted that, "the idea of post production techniques filtering into production is what's happening now." "There are some experimental uses of AI, but mostly what we're seeing is ML used for labeling and classifying — assistant editor tasks," he said. "It's a code processor to achieve post deadlines. On the display side, companies like Netflix are using it to personalize content. The idea is that ML offers so many efficiencies."
Unity Technologies head of cinematics Adam Myhill created Cinemachine (later sold to Unity), which is a Technical Emmy Award-winning "unified procedural camera system for in-game cameras, cinematics and cut-scenes, film pre-visualization and virtual cinematography eSports solutions."
"In eSports, it's hard to know how to build a narrative when you don't know what's going to happen next," explained Myhill. "The procedural camera system acts like a filmmaker, looking through the lens and moving appropriately." Shulkind added that Cinemachine is "one of the most amazing tools out there now."
Another new tool, CineCast, can take 5,000 or 10,000 live virtual camera streams to construct a narrative. "It's a terrifying problem," said Myhill. "But we've been chipping away at it. It understands good editing and it doesn't do jump cuts. But it's like a toddler that walks and falls down. We believe we're on the edge of AI cinematography — but it won't put any cinematographers out of work."
Bergquist said one of the biggest challenges today is to take low-level visual data and abstract it into symbols. "Machines are very bad at that right now," he said. Myhill agreed that his company isn't yet doing a very good job of this. "Some of the first things we're doing is, if you're in a game and you orbit it around the player, what if there were a mode to do that automatically? We chose this first because it's easier to train this than doing that for emotional intensity of a dialogue scene. It's a matter of thin slicing."
Bergquist asked Shulkind if, as a cinematographer, what aspect of his work he wished could be automated, and what he wished he knew at the time he was working.
"Cinematography is about the psychology of the image," said Shulkind. "It would be great to know where there's harmony between the images and the purpose, to create more accurate psychological models. One of the more esoteric aspects of cinematography is plotting out the moves — to be able to see what that looks like in previs would be interesting."
"We're selling this to experts in this industry, and we're putting a lot of work at ETC into how to help creatives innovate better and convince studio executives and financiers to put money behind it," Bergquist said. "The risk isn't in innovating — the risk is not innovating." But, he warned, "the technology won't be ready for awhile, and [currently] the studios have zero interest in it."

Arne Søraas, MD, PhD, is a specialist in internal medicine and has ten years of experience working with aged patients. He now seeks to understand aging as an epigenetic process and works in the new field of geroscience. He splits his time between leading Age Labs development of an epigenetics-based method for measuring biological age and as a project group leader at Rikshospitalet where he uses epigenetic clocks to understand aging. He sees epigenetic clocks as a crucial tool in aging research because it is only when you can measure a process that you can begin to understand it or interfere with it.

Case Studies in the Scientific Realism Debate: From pilot project to international collaboration
by admin | Oct 29, 2014 | Blog | 0 comments
This is a guest blog post by Dr Peter Vickers, Durham University, Principal Investigator for Evaluating Scientific Realism, Exploratory Award
In 2012 I headed an exciting pilot project as part of the new AHRC Science in Culture Theme Exploratory Award scheme, entitled 'Evaluating scientific realism: a new generation of historical case studies' (see here for details). The scheme was perfect for the project I had in mind. The scientific realism debate is a major debate in philosophy of science, a debate concerning how much trust we can put in the (sometimes bizarre) claims made by our current scientific theories given the fact that, when one looks to the history of science, we have often had confidence in theories which were later found to be substantially misguided. But despite the long history of this debate, it has long been conducted in the light of only a few major case studies from the history of science (phlogiston, caloric, the luminiferous aether). What I felt needed to be explored was the possibility that there are many examples in the history of science which could have a major bearing on this debate, but which are currently completely unknown within the philosophical community.
In fact this turned out to be the case: there are many examples in the history of science which at least seem to be highly relevant for that philosophical debate, and which are waiting to be explored in detail. The pilot project resulted in a publication in the journal Philosophy of Science entitled 'A Confrontation of Convergent Realism' (see here), which begins with a list of twenty historical case studies which either warrant further investigation or have not been investigated at all as part of the scientific realism debate. With this publication in place the stage was set for a major follow-up project, where at least some of these historical cases would be properly investigated.
For the follow-up project I teamed up with Timothy Lyons, based at Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) (see here). Much of my work during the pilot project was inspired by Tim's own work (e.g. here) – including a list of historical cases he had already put together in the very same spirit as the pilot project. It was fantastic that the AHRC decided to trial a policy to allow international researchers to act as Co-Investigators on research grants in 2013. I contacted Tim about this opportunity and he was very enthusiastic. Making use of some seedcorn funding from Durham University I was able to fly out to Indianapolis to meet with Tim and some of the other potential collaborators from IUPUI, Indiana (Bloomington), and Purdue (Lafayette). We were able to spend the time visiting potential venues for project events, and drafting what struck both of us as a very important project.
With the development of research in philosophy, sometimes there just seems to be 'something in the air'. Before our project had even begun, Thomas Pashby had already published a new historical case study for the realism debate: the case of Dirac's prediction of the positron (see here). And at the major international conference 'New Thinking about Scientific Realism' (August 2014 – see here), several papers were devoted to new historical case studies for the debate. Thus as I write there is quite some momentum behind the project. Needless to say, we are very excited to see what will develop over the next three years.
Further information about the AHRC funded follow-on project 'Contemporary Scientific Realism and the Challenge from the History of Science', which commenced on 1st August 2014 is available on the project website, found here.
This is one of a series of guest blog posts written by AHRC Science in Culture Theme Award Holders. The Science in Culture Theme is a key area of AHRC Funding and supports projects committed to developing reciprocal relationships between scientists and arts and humanities researchers.
