On 9 October 2008, during the grand, daylong celebration by the Global Country of World Peace of Victory Day, the auspicious day of Vijaya Dashmi in the Vedic Calendar, Maharaja Adhiraj Raja Raam, First Ruler of the Global Country of World Peace, gave a beautiful, inspiring address to the assembly of Rajas, Raj Rajeshwaris, and Ministers of the Global Country in MERU, Holland, and to viewers around the world enjoying the global live broadcast on the Maharishi Channel.
Please also see Part I and Part II of this article, in which Maharaja Adhiraj Raja Raam expressed warmest congratulations on the Coronation ceremony of five new Raj Rajeshwaris—Mothers of the World from the Sovereign Domain of Consciousness, and explained the responsibility of the Global Country to nourish the connectedness among all nations and solve urgent crises by awakening the field of Pure Being, total Natural Law, in individual and collective consciousness.
Maharaja continued by asking how individual leaders in finance and other fields, whose actions impact the whole world, can currently make right decisions at the right time? 'No one can do it. No government can do it,' he said.
'We can do it. We have to wake up again and again, as we are, and as everyone of you is.'
'But today brings us that inspiration to do it, and proclaim it, and take that responsibility very seriously—and also be simple enough to look into our own programmes, make sure we are doing the programmes* properly, make sure our Yagyas are performed properly, make sure our Vedic Pandits are in the proper training and the proper programme as they should be. We also take responsibility that if we have been doing other things or we have been thinking of other things, more than this one focussed principle, one focussed goal that Maharishi has given us, then we are wasting our time.
'We do have to take care of realities of every day. We do have to take care of ways to function, to pay our bills, to do everything. That's the reality of our world, that's the reality of daily living. There are also different approaches, that's completely fine to have one approach from this angle, one approach from that angle—every approach has to be nourished.
'But all approaches, all our thought and our heart and our mind is with one goal: How am I enlightening the world? How am I bringing Pure Being in the consciousness of every individual in the world? How am I awakening collective consciousness to be a collective consciousness that is balanced, that is in accordance with total Natural Law—or how am I awakening the self-referral nature of life everywhere? And the mechanisms of doing it are fine—how do I do it, I like to do it this way, you do it this way.
'There are the practical levels, but always awake in our consciousness personally, always referring back to the teachings, the profundity of the complete teaching that Maharishi has given us, remember this goal.
'And today on Vijaya Dashmi, offer it to the world and proclaim that we'll have a campaign to promise and guarantee to every government in the world, and to every individual in the world, that they don't need to have any fears. They don't need to have any sense of uncertainty for the future—because we have the infinite resources of total Natural Law available to us and the perfect knowledge that we have given, that has been scientifically proven, that we can guarantee to produce the results.
'This is the gift of Mother Divine** and the blessings of the Raj Rajeshwaris today, and all the Rajas and Ministers, together, to truly thank Maharishi for the enlightenment he has given us on a personal level. And the way to thank him is of course by living it ourselves, by ensuring that the programmes that he has given are properly administered, properly done, and by giving those programmes to the world that would create an effect, and that would guarantee for all future to come, a heavenly life on earth.
'Sometimes it takes Nature to shake things for people to wake up. Nature is always loving, that is the principle. There is no principle of punishment in Nature. Of course there is punishment in a sense, but what is the purpose of that? Maharishi often repeated this beautiful example: If you're driving on the highway and you are not alert, and you're making mistakes—and suddenly you go off the road, and let's say there is a big cliff or valley, then there are what they call road blocks, road barriers to prevent you from falling into the valley. So you hit the barrier, you get hurt, but it saved you from a much bigger disaster.
'So this barrier there is a wake up call, it's a reminder. You can still want to jump over the barrier and then get a bigger problem, but Nature will always try to save you. And in this crisis—I think whatever it is, it can be seen in a negative way by many people; and it does have a very negative aspect to it, we cannot hide from it, and again we don't want to analyze it.
'But for us it's an awakening, for ourselves and for the entire world consciousness. Maybe this crisis will awaken so many people to come along, and to help Howard Settle*** and Raja Harris [Kaplan, Raja of Invincible India] and those people who are wealthy and have given their money and their time and their programmes, and they're doing it alone—but now is the time to tell them we can do it, together we can do it.
'It's a world responsibility, and we see this shaking from Nature as a gift of awakening and also as a gift from Maharishi, from the Holy Tradition—take this responsibility at heart, we and all those who have the wealth to support us, and let's create Heaven on Earth. Maybe we can offer this to Maharishi by 12 January, and even by the one-year anniversary.
'These are my thoughts today, which are thoughts of celebration and joy, great joy of the rise of enlightenment, and the enlightenment lived within our family. And also at the same time the sense of responsibility that leadership gives. And since we are crowning leaders, it's time also that we awaken ourselves to our responsibility of giving to the world the knowledge with which we have so generously been bestowed. All glory to Guru Dev.**** Jai Guru Dev.'
Following the conclusion of Maharaja Adhiraj Raja Raam's address, the first session of the Victory Day celebration concluded with his raising the Flag of Invincibility in MERU, during a procession including the Raj Rajeshwaris, the Rajas, and Ministers of the Global Country of World Peace, led by royal bagpipers.

A quick journal of this week with the Gladd's (that's us)!
As you know from my previous Saturday Seeds post, we spent all last week at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. We had a great time! The weather was colder than I would've liked, but we made do and bundled up.
Judah really got into the Disney pin trading! My aunt bought both boys a start up set of pins from Amazon and this Disney lanyard so they had plenty of pins to trade. He came up with the brilliant idea to place some of his pins on a Goofy hat! I told him he could pick one souvenir each day, so the first day was an autograph book and the second day he chose this Goofy hat.
He wore this hat all day every day and had SO many compliments from people around the park. He was quite the Disney tourist!
I'm going to write a separate post in the future that includes more photos. My parents joined us for 3 out of our 5 days at the parks. It was so fun to spend time with them at the happiest place on earth. I can't wait to share more of our trip later!
Speaking of my parents… my mom isn't feeling so well. A few years ago, she was having some major health problems and could not figure out what was wrong. She went to specialist after specialist in her hometown of Grand Rapids, Michigan where they sent her on a wild goose chase. They told her she was depressed, they medicated her, they referred her to a chiropractor, they said it was in her head, they said she possibly had Parkinson's or meningitis or spinal stenosis, etc. etc. etc.
It wasn't until my dad insisted on taking her to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN two years ago that she finally found answers! Her initial appointment was as a referral for Parkinsonism symptoms but when the Parkinson's specialist read her MRI he immediately was able to diagnose it as Cerebralspinal Fluid (CSF) Leak instead!
The leaking of your cerebral spinal fluid will cause all sorts of problems. In short, this fluid is liquid that protects your brain and spinal cord. If it leaks, the brain will slowly drop or sink and create headaches, balance issues, ringing in your ears, cognitive deficits, etc.
Apparently, my mom had been slowly leaking CSF for years and because this core issue was not found right away she got so bad that we thought she was never going to be better. Her face was sunken, she couldn't walk without falling, headaches were unbearable.
We were relieved to find out it was not Parkinson's and that there was a cure for this CSF leak. She received 17 blood patches at Mayo two years ago and had immediate results. She was a new woman! In fact, she was better than we could remember her being for years!
But, in the last few months she's showing symptoms again of leaking. She immediately received another MRI and discovered she is, indeed, leaking again. The blood patches worked temporarily, but there is a more invasive surgery that could permanently fix it. So now we are waiting for her next appointment at Mayo where she will have a myelogram and discuss treatment options. We are hoping the surgery is the answer and that it will be a permanent cure!
I guess I wrote about this now because CSF leaks is a newer diagnosis that goes misdiagnosed too often. Maybe this post will raise some awareness on the topic and give someone else out there a little hope.

The pull of a new Emma Donoghue novel…
In Books, Fiction, History, Irish 16th July 2020
The Pull of the Stars began over sixteen years ago when I was in premature labour with our first child who, as a playful five-year-old, would be my model for Jack, in Room. It took the caring coaching of two midwives as well as rapid (literally) hands-on intervention by an obstetrical surgeon to bring me and Finn safely through. As I've shared this story over the years, I've learned that many others I know have had a near miss on that most dangerous day of women's and babies' lives. (In 2011 we lost the extraordinary actress Michal Friedman, who plays Jack in the multi-voiced audiobook of Room, when she was giving birth to twins.)
…a review of several centenary histories of the Great Flu (aka Spanish Flu) of 1918–19 seized my imagination with its images of a weird urban landscape of masked figures, devastating economic shutdown and sudden, random death.
In another sense, I started this novel in October 2018 when I accidentally left my laptop charging at home before taking the train to the Toronto International Festival of Authors. I passed the hours reading every word of The Economist, and a review of several centenary histories of the Great Flu (aka Spanish Flu) of 1918–19 seized my imagination with its images of a weird urban landscape of masked figures, devastating economic shutdown and sudden, random death. Researching and feverishly note-taking on my phone, I found that tiny detail that would become the seed of The Pull of the Stars: pregnant women were particularly vulnerable to catching the Great Flu and suffering premature birth, stillbirth or death as a result. Where in a hospital would they put flu patients who were in labour, I wondered? I pictured a makeshift quarantine ward, small enough at a pinch to be run by one overworked nurse/midwife, or maybe one nurse and a volunteer helper . . . Another of the claustrophobic 'rooms' I have a habit of writing about, one where women wage what my protagonist Nurse Julia Power calls 'our war'.
The pandemic of 1918–19, very likely worsened by the First World War, had a reach that was just as global as the fighting, and killed more people (at least 3 per cent of the human race). I set The Pull of the Stars in Dublin partly because that's my home town, so Irish idiom comes most naturally, but mostly because Ireland was going through a third cataclysm in those years of war and pestilence, a political and cultural one. In 1916, when the six-day Easter Rising startled the nation, most of George V's Irish subjects – my four grandparents included – would have been flummoxed by the notion of an independent republic. But at the next general election in December 1918, the persecuted activists of Sinn Féin (including Dr Kathleen Lynn from my novel) won by a landslide and set up their breakaway assembly, Dáil Éireann, the Republic of Ireland's parliament to this day. (I have relatives who served on both sides of the painful Civil War of 1922–3 that followed.) So one question I wanted to ask in this novel was what happened between 1916 and 1918 to transform so many of us from loyal royalists to republican patriots? What must it have been like to be living at a time when so much changed so fast?
Healthcare workers are in the spotlight, the heroes of our collective tragedy.
Speaking of which. When I sold The Pull of the Stars in October 2019 it seemed like a historical novel, even if it had an atmosphere that could be called post-apocalyptic. Two days after I delivered the final draft, this March, COVID-19 was declared a pandemic. Healthcare workers are in the spotlight, the heroes of our collective tragedy. The Pull of the Stars has benefited from the care of both midwife Maggie Walker and the peerless Dr Tracy Roe (copyeditor and emergency medicine physician), who somehow during the pandemic caught my mistakes and saved real lives at the same time. Influenza literally means influence – the way stars were thought to shape human health and welfare. I hope The Pull of the Stars moves you and that you stay well. Warm wishes and thanks for supporting my books over the past quarter of a century.
The Pull of the Stars is available in your local Dubray and on our website.
Emma Donoghue was born in Dublin, and now lives in Canada. She is a graduate of University College Dublin and Cambridge University. Donoghue's first novel was 1994's Stir Fry, followed in 1995 by Hood, which won the Stonewall Book Award for Literature. These were followed by several highly successful novels notably 2010 novel Room which is told from the perspective of a five-year-old boy, Jack, who is being held captive in a small room along with his mother. The story was inspired after Donoghue read about five-year-old Felix in the Fritzl case, and a 2008 court case in which a Pennsylvania woman held her children captive for eight years in a small room similar to the one in the novel. Room was longlisted for the Orange Prize; shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize, the Rogers Writers Prize, the 2010 Governor General's Awards in Canada and was the winner of an Irish Book Award 2010 and The Commonwealth Writers Prize. She later wrote the screenplay for a film version of the book, Room (2015), for which she was nominated for an Academy Award, Golden Globe and Bafta Award.
Her novel Frog Music was published in 2014. The Wonder, published in 2016, was shortlisted for the Scotiabank Giller Prize. She has also written a highly acclaimed novel for younger readers – The Lotterys Plus One. Her last novel AKIN was published in 2019 and her new novel The Pull of the Stars will be published in July 2020

2020 Full Matches
Querrey's Sets Tone Early; Vegas Defeats San Diego
Posted on July 14, 2020 by W.G. Ramirez
World TeamTennis veteran Sam Querrey brought his wife, Abby, and their five-month old son, Ford, to The Greenbrier for the 2020 World Team Tennis season.
Abby and Ford watched Querrey's first two matches for the Rollers – both losses – but missed Tuesday's match.
:: VEGAS ROLLERS vs. SAN DIEGO AVIATORS MATCH STATS ::
Querrey may want to excuse his wife and son from the stands for the remainder of the three-week season, as he dominated San Diego's Ryan Harrison in men's singles to set the tone and help the Rollers to a 23-21 win in Extended Play.
"I'm glad I actually got to help the team today," Querrey said. "I was happy to give us a lead today, unlike the first two days. It was fun to be out there. Hopefully, it'll just keep getting better and better, I can find more of a rhythm, be more aggressive and just keep getting points for my team."
#WTT2020: The "@ChosenFoods Mover of the Match" 👣 for #SDvsLAS was @MonicaAce93 of the @VegasRollersWTT who traveled 2,266 feet during her 5-4 women's singles win against the @SDAviators' @ChristinaMcHale. #EveryStepCounts pic.twitter.com/0yW9lOwiLo

It was the second time in three days the Rollers (2-1) went into Extended Play, as San Diego (1-1) forced extra time when Harrison and Jonny O'Mara beat Mike Bryan and Bob Bryan in men's doubles in the final set.
But it was Querrey who came out fired up by responding to back-to-back losses in his first two appearances on Sunday and Monday, against Chicago and Orlando, respectively. The 32-year-old had added motivation in his showdown with Harrison, who won both of last year's meetings between the hard hitters.
After both held serve in the first two games, Querrey went to work.
The 2017 Wimbledon semifinalist closed out the set by winning the last four games, breaking Harrison twice. Querrey, who has been ranked as high as No. 11 in the world in 2018, finished with five aces in the set and finished a perfect 6-for-6 in winning first-serve points, while he was a stellar 6 of 8 with second-serve points.
"I just started off clean," said Querrey, who was named the Player of the Match. "I had a good hold and then even though he held his first service game I still felt good and then just kind of got in a good rhythm and made him work for his service game. In the end, I got lucky, he double-faulted twice to give me a few more break points to close it out."
The match wouldn't end without drama, though, as Harrison and O'Mara refused to buckle against the world's most successful men's tennis tandem, the Bryan brothers.
With the Aviators up 40-0 in their first serve of the final set, the Bryan brothers showed their prowess by storming back to break Harrison's serve and go up 2-0. But when O'Mara found the alley on the deciding point of the third game to get the set back on serve and make it 2-1, Harrison was able to serve the duo a second-straight game to knot the set. The teams traded the final four games and went to a fourth-straight set-tiebreak in the match.
O'Mara found a crease for a huge blast to go up 3-2 in the tiebreak for momentum, and Mike Bryan's deep lob landed just outside the baseline to give the Aviators the set and force extended play. After the Aviators took the first game, the Bryans overpowered their foes and sealed the match for the Rollers.
Monica Puig and Christina McHale went the distance in women's singles, getting to the ninth point in the tiebreak. Four of the first six games saw the ladies break each other's serve, twice each. After falling behind 3-1, Puig rattled off three straight wins. McHale scorched Puig in the eighth game with a shutout win to force the tiebreak. McHale carried the momentum into the extra play, and took an early 3-1 lead, but Puig answered with three straight points and four of the last five to nab the set.
Mixed doubles saw both teams hold serve throughout, as the set also went to a tiebreak. O'Mara and Nicole Melichar were able to outlast Vegas' strong duo of Bob Bryan and Asia Muhammad, winning four of the last six of the tiebreak. O'Mara and Melichar combined to win 13 of 15 (.866) of their first-serve points.
In women's doubles, Muhammad and childhood friend Kristie Ahn teamed up for a third-straight day and took on the skilled duo of Melichar and Coco Vandeweghe. After both tandems held serve to a 4-4 tie, San Diego's duo was too much, as Melichar and Vandeweghe raced out to a 4-0 lead before taking the tiebreak 5-1. The win closed the gap overall, cutting Vegas' lead to 18-15 heading into the final set.
After opening the season with three matches in as many days, Vegas will enjoy a day off Wednesday before returning to action Thursday. The Rollers have to feel good about its 2-1 start, after opening its inaugural season in 2019 on a 1-3 slide.
While the teams were close to even with their first-serve percentage numbers, Vegas held the edge with its winning percentage on second-serve points, converting 28 of 43 (.651). San Diego was 27-for-48 (.562) with its second serve winning percentage.
One stat the Aviators would like to forget is break-point conversions. San Diego capitalized just 27.2% (3 of 11) during the match. Vegas was 5 of 10 (.500) with its break-point conversions.
Vegas will face the Orange County Breakers on Thursday at 11 am ET/8 am PT, with the match being broadcast on ESPN-plus. The Smash return to action Wednesday at 7 pm ET/4 pm PT against the Washington Kastles, also on CBS Sports Network.

Tim Hortons has added beef lasagna to its lineup of meal offerings as the biggest coffee and baked goods chain in Canada makes a bigger grab for people's dining dollars.
Competition stiffened two years ago when McDonald's switched coffee brews and began giving it away for free in a promotion. McDonald's Canada is now expanding its in-store McCafe coffee and bakery concept throughout its locations.
"This is a great new nourishing alternative to typical fast food fare, like burgers and fries," said Donna Finelli, director of brand marketing for food at Tim Hortons.
The company said a 10-oz beef lasagna casserole serving has 280 calories and 13 grams of protein. Served with garlic toast, it sells for $4.49.


Frizzy hair, along with dark circles and under-eye bags, top our Beauty Bible readers' list of woes. Of course, John Frieda is basically the patron saint of frizzy-haired women, having created Frizz-Ease serum - the go-to product for many women with unruly manes. But we're really loving this new addition from the Full Repair range (a collection which became an instant favourite with us, as soon as it debuted).
So if you like a va-va-volumised look (and we do, we do), this will conquer those annoying flyaways without impacting on oomph.
There are other additions to Full Repair which we'll be putting through their paces - but meanwhile, we'll raise a glass of fizz to Mr. De-Frizz, for this.

Q: Give span same width on Firefox as Safari I am trying to get a span to be the same width on Safari and Firefox.
My code can be seen at: Bootply
And looks like this:

          <button class="btn btn-default" type="button" onclick="codeAddress()">
          </button>

      <input id="address" type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Enter your address" style="max-width:256px;width:256px;">

        <input type="button" id="useAddress" value="Use address" class="outnowButtonOnGrey" style="width:131px;" onclick="codeAddress()">
        or
        <input type="button" id="getCurrentLocation" value="Current location" class="outnowButtonOnGrey" style="width:131px;">

    Some text

I have tried various combinations of max-width, width, min-width but cannot get the width of the span to be the same on Safari and Firefox.
On Safari I get the effect I want which is the two buttons aligning left and right with the input field above. On Firefox the buttons no longer right align.

A: span is an inline element not a box elelment, width doesn't apply to elements with style "display:inline", button is style "display:inline-block" - that can have a width set.
so set the width on the button.

Multi-… what?
In Search of a New Buzzword
We are now in the parallel era. More and more of the machines we use do more than one thing at a time.
Okay, some of them are capable of doing more than one thing at a time, even if the software that runs on them doesn't know how to take advantage of that.
Problem is, there are many ways to create systems that run things in parallel. Most are very specific and have specific names associated with them. But there are characteristics that all of these techniques share – and yet there doesn't seem to be a good way to refer to the bigger picture in a clear, concise, and unambiguous way.
Let's start by reviewing all the ways you can run things concurrently, examining their ins and outs. We can then try to abstract up a level to see what we should call that. OK, truth in advertising – [spoiler alert] actually, I'm not going to have a suggestion; I'm going to punt and ask for help.
1. Multicore – SMP
The term "multicore" typically refers to a hardware architecture where a processor has more than one execution engine. But there are actually other ways people use "multicore", so let's start with the simplest of them all, "symmetric multicore processing," or SMP. Of all the parallel techniques, this is probably the easiest because someone else (in the guise of an operating system) does the work for you.
With SMP, all cores are the same and their environments all look the same. In other words, an operating system can't tell them apart. The good thing about that is that the OS can simply schedule tasks on whichever cores are available. It doesn't have to know anything about individual idiosyncrasies that a core might have – because none of them have any.
Your PC is probably the best example of SMP. Wait… maybe "best" isn't appropriate. How about, "most obvious" or "simplest."
2. Multi-processing
OK, I tossed this one in here because it's not much different from SMP in some of its interpretations. The difference here is that, for some people, "multi-processor" means multiple chips with processors in them. In fact, you could have multi-processor and multicore in the same system: dual quad-core is exactly such a situation.
Does it matter whether it's a chip or a core that's multi? Well, there are some technical reasons – the chips are more loosely coupled than the cores. But an OS doesn't care if the cores all look alike; this can also operate under the SMP moniker.
Of course, some people use the term – and, in particular, the gerund "multi-processing" – as a more generic term, but it's too easily conflated with the more narrow "multi-processor" meaning.
3. Multi-threading
This isn't an architecture; it's the concept of taking a process and breaking it into sub-processes called threads. If no one had used this term for this specific thing, it would be a great metaphoric generic term. Alas, too late.
4. Multicore – AMP
From a hardware standpoint, this can be the same as SMP above. The difference is in the OS. Instead of a single OS managing a bundle of processors or cores identically, different cores may have different OSes. Or different instances of the same OS. Or no OS. One simple configuration is to have one core that runs Linux, for example, and manages the other cores by assigning them processes that run "on bare metal."
One implication of this is the nature of what is running on a core. With SMP, the OS takes a process and schedules threads on the cores. With AMP, anything assigned to a core with its own OS is a process (or, if no OS, is simply a program).
You can also mix SMP and AMP; for example, with eight cores, four could be managed as SMP and assign tasks to the other four on bare metal. Of course, as a system designer, you've got to figure out how to make all of that work.
5. Heterogeneous (multicore)
Here the hardware is different for different cores. It could be as simple as having the same core but different memory or peripherals, but, more commonly, the cores themselves are different. Cell phone SoCs are a good example of this, running many different cores for many different tasks, and each core is chosen to optimize its performance on its assigned task.
Other common configurations are host microprocessors working in tandem with worker DSP chips or, increasingly, GPUs.
This also pretty much means you have to look like AMP from an OS standpoint since you don't have uniform resources.
6. Grid computing
All of the configurations we've looked at so far tend to suggest a single computer or even a single chip. Communication between cores can be by lighter-weight transport schemes, or, at least, ones designed to stay in the same county. PCI-Express is an obvious example, but even just an AMBA bus might suffice in an SMP setup with shared memory. For managing the inter-process communication on something more complex than SMP, MCAPI can be used.
But with grid computing, the implication is of different boxes that might lie on different continents. The transport between them is Ethernet or the internet.
Of course, each box in this case runs its own OS; it's AMP by definition. Inter-process communication is managed by a heavier-weight protocol, MPI, which can handle some of the more complex implications of computers that may come and go from the grid.
7. Many-core or massively parallel computing
"Many-core" is a nuance intended to distinguish the vast majority of simple multicore chips, which will usually have at most four or so cores, from ones that go much further than that, like Tilera's 64-core chip. It's harder to deal with many-core chips because of the challenges managing communication, I/O, and memory effectively, so things that work with simple SMP might well fail on a many-core chip.
"Massively parallel" is a term that, more or less, refers to the same thing. But it goes back much further, having referred to such boxes as the Thinking Machines beast of yore. So it has something of a dated feel to it, even though marketers like to pull it out if they think they can wow you with it. Just cuz it sounds cooler.
8. Parallel programming
I include this because "parallel" is an obvious candidate term for all the stuff we're talking about. But it's too focused on the "programming" part, suggesting some of the more arcane techniques being dreamt up in universities to make creation of parallel programs easier. Maybe a new language, maybe a new paradigm, maybe new tools.
9. Hardware acceleration
Here we step out of the realm of more obvious instances of parallel computing. And, in fact, sometimes this isn't parallel at all.
The idea with hardware acceleration is that some task takes too long to do in software, so you assign it to faster hardware. There are two ways to do this: an easy way and a harder way.
The easy way is to have the processor encounter the need for an accelerator in a program and to fire off the accelerator and wait for the response. This is a so-called "blocking" configuration because the program that the processor is running has to stop and wait for the accelerator to return its result – progress is blocked. Yeah, it seems wasteful to have the processor sit around, but it's still faster than doing the computation in software. And, if there's more than one process or thread that needs to be handled, the OS can swap contexts while the accelerator is running, so, except for context-switching overhead, it doesn't have to be too wasteful.
The harder way is to invoke an accelerator in a non-blocking manner. Now if the accelerator doesn't have to return anything to the processor – it just does something (say, packages up a TCP packet and sends it along) and then comes back looking for more work, then this is trivial. The hard part is when you need the result of the accelerator, but you want the processor to keep going while the accelerator works. This is more or less a fork/join configuration where execution forks, one part continuing on the processor, the other going to the accelerator, with a subsequent join where the results of the two threads come together.
Even if you have only a single core doing the computing, this is parallel execution. But it doesn't qualify as "multicore" because there's only one core. But when an accelerator is operating on a non-blocking basis, all of the considerations required for deciding how to create threads for two cores are still required. It's just that no one thinks of it as multicore.
In fact, this whole search for an uber-term might not be so hard if it weren't for this one stickler. Say "multicore" and people won't think of hardware acceleration. Say, "hardware acceleration" and people won't think of the kinds of things you have to consider for multicore. And yet, in the abstract, they're really two flavors of the same thing.
So here I've identified nine different ways of referring to various aspects of the act of doing more than one thing at a time. Each term is either specific or overloaded (and, hence, ambiguous).
So your assignment is to come up with a term that can be used to refer to any of the above generically. We're rising up a level of abstraction here, trying to find a new meta-term. Perhaps you think one of the above terms does the trick. (If someone else doesn't agree, then, by definition, you're wrong.) More likely, we have to resort to something new. Which means that someone would have to launch it and drive it home.
So… what's it going to be? Multi-tasking? (Hmmm… that suggests the rough single-parent life or the life-on-the-edge of the commuter with a cell phone in one hand, an iPad in the other hand, and a cup of coffee in the other hand.) Concurrent computing? (Some people don't think of hardware execution as "computing" because it's not done by a "computer.") Concurrent execution? (Sounds like something out of a Sergio Leone movie.)
I'm stuck. You gotta help me out on this one.

It took me almost half of a year to solve a very simple transportation problem, and the reason it took so long is instructive in how we look at problems and their solutions.
Since November, I have been commuting to New York City one day a week. I live next to New London, so it made sense to get on the train at the New London station, but there was a problem.
If you are not familiar with Connecticut shoreline geography, New London is about 130 miles from New York City. The Metro North line runs to New Haven, and Shoreline East runs from New Haven to New London (sometimes).
I would take the 5:50 train from New London, and I would sit at a nice comfortable table on the Shoreline East train all the way to Stamford, then take Metro North to Grand Central and a subway to the office. 3.5 hours, but most of that time is productive working time.
The problem is when I go to return home. I kept missing the train in New Haven that got me home at a reasonable time, so I had to take the 9:00 train and get to my car at 10:00. Thus, my day that began at 5:50 AM finished up around 10:10 PM. Not optimal.
I kept thinking that I just needed to catch an earlier Metro North train, but it turns out that I'd have to leave the office a little before 4:00 to catch the earlier New London train.
One of the 5:50 New London trains I rode.
It had been suggested that I drive to Old Saybrook, which has more trains, but it seemed silly to drive 25 minutes then take a train for 3 hours, when I could spend 3.5 hours on the train and have half an hour more productive time on the train. (I'm writing this article on the train, for example.) And, so, I got home super late every Monday night, exhausted and drained.
The solution, as it turns out, is simple: drive to Old Saybrook, catch the same train that goes to Stamford, then on the way back catch one of any number of trains to Old Saybrook and get home two hours earlier. Simple. Easy. Duh. How'd it take half a year to solve this problem?
What is the most efficient way to get from New London to New York by train?
What is the most efficient way to get from Groton to New York?
You see, I don't live in New London. I live in Groton, one town east of New London. I thought I had the problem partially solved, knowing that the train left from New London, so I didn't reexamine that part of the puzzle. It's a matter of mental efficiency. We don't tend to look at the parts of the puzzle that are already solved. Why would we?
In life, often, what appears to be an effective preliminary step is not, and we need to reexamine the underlying "solutions" that we are basing our ultimate solutions on. By stepping back to the original question and away from the assumptions I had developed, I was able to conclude that Old Saybrook was the place to catch the train. I lose 25 minutes of working on the train, but I gain about 2 hours at home. Pretty good deal.
Next time you are struggling with an intractable problem, be sure that you are framing it correctly. Are you starting from assumptions, or are you starting from the raw situation? This will make all the difference.


Heat wave in New York. July 6, 1911. "Licking blocks of ice on a hot day." 5×7 glass negative, George Grantham Bain Collection.
New York can get blistering hot when a heat wave rolls through. I experienced a number of days like this when I was growing up there. And I'm old enough to remember the ice man with his truck, and an electric crusher on the back so he could deliver chips as well as the blocks.
It was a great way to cool off on a hot summer day. I'm glad there are still water attractions around to help kids stay cool in the summer heat.

Weekly unemployment benefit applications fall to 377,000
WASHINGTON -- The number of people applying for U.S. unemployment benefits fell last week, suggesting modest job growth after three months of weak hiring.
The Labor Department said Thursday that applications for weekly benefits dropped by 12,000 to a seasonally adjusted 377,000. That's down from an upwardly revised 389,000 the previous week. It was the first decline in five weeks.
The four-week average, a less volatile measure, rose by 1,750 to 377,500, the highest level in a month.
Applications are a measure of the pace of layoffs. When claims dip below 375,000, it typically suggests hiring is strong enough to reduce the unemployment rate. They have stabilized near that level this year after declining sharply last fall.
The government last week reported that the unemployment rate rose to 8.2 percent in May from 8.1 percent in April. Employers added 69,000 jobs, the fewest in a year.
Job growth averaged a decent 252,000 a month from December through February. But hiring has slowed to an average 96,000 a month since then.
The government also reported last week that the economy grew at a sluggish annual rate of 1.9 percent the first three months of 2012, which is consistent with monthly job growth of around 90,000.
The economy is still struggling three years after the recession officially ended in June 2009. Wages haven't kept up with inflation, pinching consumer spending. State and local governments have continued to shed jobs.
The United States has regained less than 3.8 million, or 43 percent, of the 8.8 million jobs lost during and immediately after the recession.
There have been some signs this week that hiring could improve.
A Labor Department report Wednesday suggested that companies may have to start hiring if business picks up: U.S. worker productivity fell by the largest amount in a year from January through March. The drop signals that companies are struggling to squeeze more out of their existing staffs.
And the Federal Reserve issued an update economic report Wednesday, saying that the economy grew modestly across most of the United States this spring. The Fed survey shows growth in each of its 12 bank districts from April 3 through May 25. Growth picked up in 10 districts. It was steady in the Boston district and slowed in the Philadelphia region.

Arlene S. Kanter is an American academic, lawyer and a Bond, Schoeneck & King Distinguished Professor of Law at Syracuse University College of Law. In 2005, she was named the Laura J. and L. Douglas Meredith Professor of Teaching Excellence by Syracuse University. She is the founder and director of the Disability Law and Policy Program and director of the Office of International Programs.

Early life and education
Kanter was born and raised in Newton Centre, Massachusetts. Kanter is a graduate of Trinity College (B.A. 1976, with honors), New York University (J.D. 1981, with honors), and Georgetown University Law Center (LL.M. 1983). At Georgetown, Kanter was awarded a Graduate Fellowship at the Institute for Public Representation, where she represented the plaintiffs in, Clark v. Community for Creative Non-Violence, a case that was resolved by the United States Supreme Court in 1983.

Legal career
Prior to joining the law faculty at Syracuse University College of Law, Kanter taught at Georgetown University Law Center and practiced public interest law at a national disability rights organization in Washington, D.C., known then as the Mental Health Law Project, and today as the Bazelon Center on Mental Health Law. At the Mental Health Law Project she was director of the community living project and litigated cases on behalf of people with mental disabilities seeking to leave institutions and live in their own homes in the community. One of those cases, City of Cleburne v. Cleburne Living Center, Inc., is legally significant because the Supreme Court struck down a zoning policy that discriminated against people with mental disabilities under the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, using only the rational basis test.

Since joining the Syracuse law faculty, she has continued to remain involved in disability rights litigation and advocacy as a consultant to various international and domestic disability organizations and academic institutions.  She is a former co-founder and Chair of the American Bar Association Commission on Homelessness,  and former Commissioner of the American Bar Association Commission on Disability.  From 2001 to 2006, Kanter worked with the United Nations Committee on drafting the Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities (CRPD). Today, she continues to consult with governments and disability organizations on implementing the CRPD in more than 20 countries.

Academic career
Kanter joined the tenure track faculty of Syracuse University College of Law in 1988, when she was appointed Director of Clinical Legal Education and director of the law school's only civil clinic, the Public Interest Law Firm, which later became the Disability Rights Clinic. During her tenure as Director of Clinical Legal Education, Kanter started six new clinics, all of which continue today. She also founded and directed the Externship Program, which has been expanded to different cities. In recognition of the accomplishments of the Office of Clinical Legal Education, the College of Law received the Emil Gumbert Award for Advocacy Programs from the AALS in 1990.

Kanter also served as the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, during which time she introduced support for students with disabilities and a first year elective course program.

In 2005, she stepped down as Director of Clinical Legal Education and Director of the Externship Program to co-direct the Center on Human Policy, Law and Disability Studies (now part of the Center on Disability and Inclusion) and to found and direct the Disability Law and Policy Program, which is now the most extensive disability law school program in the world.

Kanter teaches Disability Law, International Human Rights and Comparative Disability Law, Advanced Disability Law and Policy, Legislation and Policy, and Special Education Law, among other courses. She holds a courtesy appointment at the Syracuse University School of Education.

Kanter has been a visiting scholar at Harvard Law School (Fall 2017); Tel Aviv University Faculty of Law, as a Fulbright Scholar (2010–11); Hebrew University Faculty of Law (1994–95; 2010–11); NALSAR University, India (Spring 2010); Charles University, Czech Republic (November 1993 and June 1994); and a Graduate Teaching Fellow at Georgetown University Law Center (1981–83).

Kanter is co-founder and inaugural Chair of the Disability Law Section of the American Association of Law Schools and co-founder of the Disability Research Group of Law and Society Organization.

Honors and awards
Professor Kanter was named the Lady Davis Fellow at Hebrew University Faculty of Law in 2018; Fulbright Scholar at Tel Aviv University in 2009-10; and the 2010 Distinguished Switzer Fellow of the US Department of Education's National Disability Rehabilitation Research Institute. Professor Kanter has been honored with awards from the Association of American Law Schools, American Bar Association, the New York State Bar Association, the Association of Higher Education and Disability, the Syracuse International Center, and the Israeli Human Rights Center for People with Disabilities. In 2020, the Disability Law and Policy Program was named one of the most innovative higher educational programs in the world by the Zero Project of the Essl Foundation.

Publications
Kanter is founder and editor of the SSRN eJournal on Disability Law and co-editor of the Critical Disability Series at Syracuse University Press. She publishes and lectures extensively on US and international disability law and policy. She is the author of more than 100 book chapters and articles, as well as the following books:

THE DEVELOPMENT OF DISABILITY RIGHTS UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW: FROM CHARITY TO HUMAN RIGHTS (Routledge, 2015, paper 2017).
 RIGHTING EDUCATIONAL WRONGS: DISABILITY STUDIES IN LAW AND EDUCATION (with Beth Ferri, eds.,) (SU Press, 2013).
 INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS AND COMPARATIVE MENTAL DISABILITY LAW: CASES AND MATERIALS AND DOCUMENT SUPPLEMENT (with Michael Perlin, Mary Pat Treuthart, Kris Gledhill & Eva Szeli, eds.,) (Carolina Academic Press, 2006).
For a complete list of her publications, see her Syracuse University Profile.

Personal life
Kanter lives in Syracuse, New York with her husband, Steven Kepnes, a professor at Colgate University. They have two adult children.

Chinese Domain Name and Trademark Scam
Chinese domain name and trademark scam are email scams coming from highly urbanised cities and municipalities in China such as Shenzhen and Shanghai.
Scammers, purporting to be from authorised local units of a Chinese Registrar Agency, attempt to convince big foreign companies and small business owners that they are in danger of losing their domain name or brand name (trademark) in China.
These urgent looking emails are designed to cause panic among foreign companies and small businesses. The purpose of the scam is to scare their victims and then offer their services. In reality, the scammers only take their victim's money and then disappear without a trace.
Unfortunately, these scams are thriving because the fear of losing their intellectual property is making uninformed owners of domain names and trademarks leap on the offer.
This blog aims to promote awareness against the Chinese domain name and trademark scam.
Everything You Need to Know About Chinese Domain Name and Trademark Scam
A Brief History of Domain Name Scam
1983 – Paul Mockapetris, an American computer scientist and internet pioneer, created the Domain Name System or DNS.
1985 – Kevin Dunlap, who worked for the Digital Equipment Corporation or DEC, made major revisions to the implementation of the DNS. Top-level domain (TLD) name extensions were introduced. Some common TLD extensions are .org, .net, and .com.
1995 – To control the rapid increase of domain names in the online marketplace, the National Science Foundation (NSF) allowed a tech consulting company to charge applicants a registration fee of US$100.
2001 – An aggressive marketing tactic known as Domain Slamming surfaced on the web. Shady internet service providers (ISPs) sent fake invoices to subscribers from other ISPs. These unsuspecting domain name owners had no idea that they were being transferred to another provider when they paid the invoice.
2005 – The first batch of domain name scams was spotted on the internet. Chinese scammers were asking foreign businesses to "protect their brand" by registering for Chinese/Asian domains.
2013 – Domain name scams became rampant when the Chinese government announced that "proof of identification" was no longer needed when registering Chinese domains.
Who are the targets of Chinese domain name and trademark scams?
Since 2005, big companies and small business owners around the world have been receiving domain name scam emails from individuals working for a registrar service in China.
To be specific, domain name and trademark owners are the targets of many Intellectual Property scams.
Types of Domain Name scams
The Duplicate Domain Name
Also known as "threat from third-party scam", an owner of a domain name receives an email notifying him that another company wants to register his domain name in the Asian realm.
More specifically, a Chinese company intends to use his domain name as an "internet keyword" and register it using Asian domain extensions such as:
domainname.cn, domainname.com.cnx, domainname.org.cn, domainname.asia, domainname.tw, domainname.hk, domainname.kr, domainname.jp
The domain name owner is given a 7-day window to respond or else the "third party" will proceed with the domain name registration. If the domain name owner responds, the scammer sends an application form or quote.
The Domain Name Registration Expiration
A scammer sends an urgent looking email with a fake invoice that appears to be an official document to an unsuspecting domain name owner. Scammers will send fake registration expiration invoices much earlier than the actual expiration date.
Typical Trademark Scam Scenarios
A business owner receives a fake invoice from a Chinese scammer. Looking like an official invoice these counterfeits are effective in eliciting payment from unsuspecting owners.
A scammer posing as an independent broker offers to help business owners who have lost their trademark rights in China. For a fee the scammer promises to bring the trademark back. It is possible the scammer had orchestrated the filing of a fraudulent trademark application to facilitate the scam.
The trademark owner receives an email informing him that another company is trying to register his trademark in China. The trademark owner is given a 7-day response period where he can act to save his brand. If the trademark owner decides to reply, the scammer then sends a fake application form or quote.
How do Chinese domain name and trademark scams work?
The most common tactics you might see in a trademark or domain name email scam fall under the following:
The scammer informs the victim that a Chinese company intends to register his brand with an Asian domain name
Posing as a Chinese registrar representative, the scammer asks for the victim's "permission" so the fictitious Chinese company can register the victim's brand with Asian/Chinese domain name extensions as "an act of courtesy".
The scammer convinces the victim of the privilege of registering his brand before anyone else.
A scammer might play good cop/bad cop with his victims by sending his scam from more than one email account
In the first email, he poses as a representative from a registrar and offers to help the victim.
His next step is to send an email posing as the representative from the fake company. He informs the victim that the Chinese company will proceed in registering the victim's brand within the Asian realm.
In the third email, the scammer tells the victim that he tried to persuade the fake Chinese company not to use his brand's name.
Finally, he tells the victim that the Chinese company is persistent, and the only way to prevent this from happening is for the victim to send money so his brand can be registered in China.
Domain name registration in China can take place without the presence or consent of a brand owner. A third-party email account will be used for the registration but the actual brand owner will have no direct access to the domains.
The offer is ridiculously high or too good to be true, or the only registration periods offered are 5 to 10 years.
How to spot a Chinese domain name and trademark scam email?
Chinese scam emails are all the same. They follow the same pattern regardless of the source. Below are things to watch out for in a Chinese scam email.
Broken English
Scam emails from China contain broken English. Using a translation service, scammers may not have the ability to check grammar, so some sentences won't make sense as you read them. Scammers do not spend time researching their potential victim.
The Notion of Urgency
Scam emails are designed to cause panic among domain and trademark owners. Scammers usually give only seven days for domain and trademark owners to reply and act. These emails press the victims to react, without thinking, to protect their intellectual property.
Unsolicited Approach
Scam emails from China will be unsolicited and usually unexpected. A legitimate entity, such as the CTMO or the China Trademark Office, would never disclose any information about their clients to a third party. It is unethical for a legitimate entity to disclose any information about their clients, such as trademark applications and domain name registrations.
Hence, an email from a Chinese IP registrar informing a brand owner there is a danger of losing his trademark because a Chinese company has registered the same brand name should be considered a scam.
Vague Name
All over China, the CTMO is the sole government agency that receives trademark registrations. Likewise, the SIPO or State Intellectual Property Office is the only agency in charge of patent examination. There are no other agencies, local units, or sub-offices authorised by the Chinese government to receive domain name and trademark registrations nationwide.
For this reason, scammers won't claim that they are from the CTMO directly. They might claim that to be from a local unit of the CTMO or a sub-office authorised by the CTMO. Otherwise they will use vague agency or company names.
Some samples of vague company names used in scam emails
The Department of Registration Service In China
Asian Domain Registration Service in China
China Domain Name Registration Centre
Popular phrases used in the scam email subject line
"Notice of Brand name registration"
"Asia, Cn, HK domain name and Internet Keyword"
"Domain dispute and protection"
"urgent brand registration confirmation"
The following is a copy of a circulating Chinese domain name and trademark scam email.
"Dear Manager,
(If you are not the person who is in charge of this, please forward this to your CEO,Thanks)
This email is from China domain name registration center, which mainly deal with the domain name registration in China. We received an application from BaoYuan Ltd on December 17, 2012. They want to register " squelchdesign " as their internet keyword and China/Asia (CN/ASIA) domain names. But after checking it, we find this name conflicts with your company. In order to deal with this matter better, so we send you email and confirm whether this company is your distributor or business partner in China or not?

What should Australian companies and SMEs do to protect themselves when doing business with and in China?
The best remedy is a precaution. China's unique business and social structure have a significant effect on its IP system. Before entering Chinese markets, do these three things.
Do an IP audit on your business.
Familiarise yourself with how to protect your IP rights.
Seek legal advice from reputable law firms specialising IP law in China.
FAQs on Chinese Domain Name and Trademark Scams
How do Chinese Domain Name and Trademark scammers get my information?
When you apply for a trademark with the IP Australia, the United States Trademark Office (USPTO) or any IP office in your country, you are required to provide your physical business address and other information.
Unfortunately, all the information provided by the applicants are available for the public to view at any time. Hence, a simple search on the IP website will reveal the mailing address of registered owners and pending trademark applicants.
Likewise, if scammers want to know the information of a domain name such as the owner's identity, they simply search the Whois.com or ICANN Lookup database.
What to do when you receive Chinese scam emails?
If you don't have a business in China, just ignore or delete the email immediately. The scammer wants you to register Asian and Chinese domain name extensions that your business or website doesn't need. According to MOZ, a Seattle based marketing analytics software company, having unnecessary domain extensions can hurt your website's SEO.
If you do have a business with and/or in China, you must seek expert legal advice. Look for law firms that can work with Chinese associates to protect your IP rights in China.
What will happen if I reply to these domain name and trademark scam emails?
If you reply to a Chinese scam email, expect to get a response email from the scammer containing the application form with the price list or quote.
If you decide not to return the application form and not proceed with the registration, you will get phone calls and a series of emails from the scammer pressuring you to act.
To avoid the hassles brought by these scam emails, it is wise not to reply to them in the first place.
To this day, the number of victims of the Chinese domain name and trademark scam continues to grow. This blog should be a wake-up call to all companies and SMEs, to think about protecting their intellectual property, especially in countries like China.
If you don't have a business in China, just ignore the scam emails. You will not lose your brand name to a Chinese company. The new amendment by the Chinese government will dismiss all "bad faith" trademark applications from scammers.
In conclusion, if you have a business with and in China, don't respond to scam emails and instead seek expert help from a law firm that specialises in Intellectual Property Protection.

Batman is a campy character. I hope this isn't news to anyone. He's prepared for just about anyone, any contingency, always, all the time. It's just who he is. So, I imagine it does not come as a shock to many of you that he's got backup measures to take out everyone in the Justice League � should he be forced to. It might not come as a shock to you, but it sure as hell did come as quite a shock to the JLA once Ra's Al Ghul discovered Batman's emergency back up plans, and put them to use to take the JLA out of action, so Al Ghul could distract the JLA (including Batman) while he pared the human population down to a manageable size.
And that's what JLA: Tower of Babel is all about. Batman, being the mastermind that he is, has constructed methods to take out the JLA in a really, really short amount of time, and take them out for good. He had plans (and Al Ghul implements these) to make J'onn J'onnz the Martian Manhunter turn into a human torch � which is doubly fearsome when you consider his greatest weakness is fire. Aquaman is crippled by a fear of water � which he needs to survive. Wonder Woman is subdued by making her imagine she is in a fight to the death with an equal � until her heart gives out due to exertion. Plastic Man is frozen then smashed. The Flash is given epileptic seizures � that carry on at light speed. The Green Lantern is put into a hypnotic state and told he's blind � which his ring makes so. What's the Green Lantern (and graphic artist Kyle Rayner) if he's blind? Worthless. Finally, a Kryptonite isotope is dropped in front of Superman. It won't kill him, but it will hurt him � badly.
Anyway, with the pesky JLA out of the way, the door is wide open for Al Ghul to bring his latest plan into play � a new Tower of Babel. What it does is broadcast some sound waves into the language center of the human brain, crippling it. People can speak their native tongue, but can't understand it when it's spoken to them. Same goes for writing. The stock market crashes, ambulance drivers can't read signs, you know how it is. Batman has to round up the remaining (and super pissed) members of the JLA to outsmart his own plans and stop Al Ghul. Oh, and Al Ghul? He's got Mr. and Mrs. Wayne's bodies above his Lazarus pits, and is threatening to drop them in, and bring them back to life � which is somehow bad. Don't ask me why.
But the point at hand � that Batman would have these plans (and keep them secret) causes quite a stir (and imaginably so) with the Justice League. Not only that, but it resonates with Oracle, Robin and Nightwing. How can they work with someone who would have backup plans to take them out? Personally, I'm going to have to side with Batman on this one, as the amount of times Leaguers have turned (or been forced to turn) on the JLA is rather high. I mean, if Batman had this plan years ago, there'd be no worries about Parallax or Agamenno � nothing like that. It's still a frightening look into the mind and preparedness of the Batman, though.
The artwork here is about the usual. Nothing to write home about. There's a noticeable lack of full page, dramatic spreads that pop up in issues like this. I really like those, but I guess I'll do without them, as there was a lot of story to tell here. A lot of dialogue and inner monologues going on, that didn't really allow for that type of drawings. Oh well.
Overall, an awesome story idea that could have used some tinkering to make it stronger. Brilliant idea, slightly sloppy execution, and it definitely could have played out a lot better. Not that it's a bad story; it's just not an A+ story. I'd give it about a B. So, that means I'd recommend reading it, just don't pay too much for it.

Google AdSense Income Strategies
For those who are unaware, an exciting new AdSense feature was unveiled in 2018 known as AdSense Auto ads. Auto ads allows Google to automatically place ads on websites, which is a dramatic change to the standard method of users creating ad units then placing the code on their websites. The idea is that Google will use artificial intelligence to understand your website then place specific adsense units where and when they should experience higher click through ratios. Complete details here: https://adsense.googleblog.com/2018/02/introducing-adsense-auto-ads.html.
With that said, I have been looking for inspiration to increase my internet business income and happened upon some people using Google AdSense that you might want to check out as well. These examples are people using AdSense to monetize their websites and YouTube videos. In most examples an actual image of the amount they have earned will be posted along with the person being profiled.
Google AdSense Winners
Keder Cormier is an entrepreneur who among other income strategies, uses AdSense to monetize his YouTube videos. He has posted at least two YouTube earnings reports from 2017.
Keder Cormier's YouTube channel.
Manik & Pankaj Sharma appear to have created a clever way to make AdSense work for them. After revealing their AdSense income amount from the websites they created, I wanted to learn more. They are quite a bit cryptic about the content on their websites, but that's undertsandable after all it would be easy for someone to mirror their content and take a slice of their profits as a result. None-the-less, these two do give a general idea of their busines model that can be very useful.
Manik & Pankaj Sharma's YouTube channel.
Paul James is implementing an AdSense income strategy where he has ads running on websites that he created by means of content curation with a WordPress theme. With the theme he can build webpages very quickly because this approach uses popular articles that are already available. Internet content curation is the process of gathering information from published sources about a particular topic then sharing it on your own website or social media platform.

"Godzilla: King of Monsters" was the big winner at the box-office over the weekend.
Movie Going
"Godzilla" Wins Box-Office
HOLLYWOOD—There were a lot of new offerings at the box-office this past weekend. That is a rarity the week after the big Memorial Day holiday weekend. You had the sequel "Godzilla: King of Monsters," "Ma" and "Rocketman" all vying for the top spot and moviegoers money. However, it was a monster that reigned supreme. "Godzilla: King of Monsters" dethroned the live-action version of "Aladdin' to claim the top spot at the box-office with $49 million.
That is a far cry from the $93 million its predecessor earned in 2014. Perhaps it was the fact, that the 2014 "Godzilla" was so bad in my opinion, moviegoers weren't willing to give the sequel a shot. I expect "King of Monsters" to lose its top spot at the box-office with another hotly anticipated sequel hitting theaters next week. Dropping to second place was "Aladdin" with $42.3 million. After two weeks in theaters, the movie has already crossed the $100 million mark at the domestic box-office.
Debuting in third place was the musical biopic of icon Elton John, "Rocketman" with an impressive $25 million. The flick has earned some rave reviews from critics, and it was apparent the R-rating didn't stop audiences from flocking to the flick. Another movie that had an impressive weekend at the box-office was the horror thriller, "Ma" starring Octavia Spencer which landed in fourth place with $18.2 million. With the thriller costing a mere $5 million to make, I think it's safe to safe it has more than tripled its investment.
Rounding out the top five was the sequel "John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum" with $11 million. As stated earlier, another hotly anticipated sequel arrives at the multiplex on June 7, in what is being deemed the end of the latest universe in the "X-Men" saga with "Dark Phoenix." I expect it to rise to the top spot of the box-office, but how much it earns is up in the air.
