Bloomfield Road known informally to fans as Bloomers is a purpose-built football stadium located in the English seaside town of Blackpool.
Home to local team Blackpool F.C since 1901, the 17,338 capacity ground is the 4th smallest stadium going into the 2015 Championship season before they were relegated.

Bloomfield Road History
The land on which Bloomfield Road Stadium sits on has been used to host football matches since at least 21st October 1899 when South Shore F.C played their home fixtures there in the Lancashire League.
Blackpool F.C merged with South Shore, and for a short while played at Raikes Hall Ground before permanently moving into Bloomfield Road at the start of the 1901-1902 season. The newly formed Tangerines beat Doncaster Rovers 3-1 in their first league game their at the start of the season on 12th October 1901.
Upon first opening the ground consisted of a single stand on the western side which was capable of seating 300 fans, and at the time a "good" attendance was regarded as around 2,000 fans.
Additional stands were soon added, and after the construction of a north stand in 1906, Bloomfield Road became one of the few grounds in England at the time to have four stands – one on each side of the pitch.
Continuing to grow in the first half of the 20th century, the capacity peaked at around 40,000 with the record attendance set against Wolves on 17th September 1955. 38,098 fans crammed into Bloomfield road to witness the match. In contrast the record attendance post-millennium was set at just 16,116 against Manchester City on 17th October 2010.
The modern of Bloomfield Road has been characterised by Blackpool's stadium failing to reach its full potential.
Starting in the late 1980s after the Bradford City Fire, newly introduced safety legislation essentially closed both the south and west stands and at the time, the Clubs Directors saw relocation as the only viable long term solution, attempting to sell Bloomfield Road to off-set increasing maintenance costs.
The Oyston owners originally had similar ideas between 1992-1996, with the club submitting a plan for a new stadium at Whyndyke Farm with the assistance of Sir Stanley Matthews. Nothing materialised however, and Blackpool instead hired Ballast Wiltshire, the designers of the Stadium of Light, to help modernise Bloomfield Road.
This resulted in the demolition and rebuild of The West Stand (2002), The Spion Kop (2003) and the Armfield Road South Stand (2010).

Bloomfield Road Seating Plan
Below is a seating plan of Blackpool's Bloomfield Road:
Stand Photos
Bloomfield Road is comprised of the following four sections: The Mortensen Stand (North), The Temporary East Stand, Armfield Road End (South) and The Stanley Matthews Stand (West).
Click the thumbnails above to enlarge an image of each stand and to read a more detailed description of each part of the Stadium.
Bloomfield Road Away End
Visiting supporters who wish to see their team take on The Tangerines are housed within the East Stand which occupies the length of the pitch.
Sticking out like a saw-thumb compared to the other three stands which are much larger in stature, the Eastern Stand is known as a temporary stand although it looks like it has become a permanent fixture and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future.
Shared with the home supporters, the standard allocation of around 2,500 tickets is distributed towards the northern-end of the ground, and views within the ground are infamous for being quite poor.
Whilst the distance from the pitch and levels of leg room are adequate with some seats even coming with padding, the implementation of the roof causes a problem.
Constructed with 8 pillars which extend out of the ground right at the front of each section of the stand, there are few seats which offer wholly unobstructed views of the pitch with many fans straining to see build up play if it happens too fast.
The quality of the concourse also leaves a lot to be desired with the temporary nature of the facilities not resulting in the most aesthetically pleasing concourse, although the food on offer fulfills expectations, as does the passionate home fans.
Best Pubs near ground
One of the closest and most popular pubs with away fans is The Old Bridge House which is located on Lytham Road less than five minutes west from the main stand. It has a reasonable range of ales, sky-sports beamed across numerous screens and a lively match-day atmosphere.
Second choice is often the Wetherspoons Pub slightly further away outside of Blackpool South Station, known as the Auctioneer.
At the ground itself Blackpool apparently do not serve alcohol to away fans inside the stadium, although I type this hesitantly as it can change on a season by season, match by match basis.
Food - Places to eat
Within the coastal city of Blackpool you're never too far away from Fish & Chips with numerous outlets situated around he ground and on the seafront itself.
Blackpool Club Shop
Blackpool's club shop at the stadium is located next to the ticket office on Seasiders Way and sells everything fans of the Tangerines could ask for. Opening Times are as follows:
Saturday: 9.00 am – 4.00 pm
Sunday (December Only): 10.30 am – 4.00 pm
Alternatively you can order stuff over the phone (01253 685025) or via the online store: https://shop.blackpoolfc.co.uk/
Can you take a stadium Tour?
Blackpool offer fans the chance to learn more about the Seasiders' history by undertaking a 90 minute tour of Bloomfield Road.

The tour is a a very affordable day out for families, with adult tickets costing £10.00, and for everyone else its just £7.00.

Asphalt-Dschungel ist ein US-amerikanischer Krimi- und Film-noir-Klassiker von John Huston. Er basiert auf dem Roman The Asphalt Jungle des Autors W. R. Burnett aus dem Jahr 1950. Der Film gehört zum Genre der Heist-Movies.

Handlung
Der raubeinige Herumtreiber Dix Handley wird in einer zweifelhaften Bar in Chicago unter dem Verdacht des bewaffneten Raubüberfalls verhaftet, die Polizei kann ihm die Tat jedoch nicht nachweisen und muss ihn wieder freilassen. Handley stammt aus dem Süden, es hat den Landburschen und Pferdenarren aber in die verrufene Großstadt im Mittelwesten verschlagen. Er geriet auf die schiefe Bahn, nachdem die Farm seines Vaters während der Großen Depression verlorenging. Doll Conovan, eine Bekannte, die im Nachtleben arbeitet und momentan keine Bleibe hat, nimmt er in seiner Bude auf. Sie verliebt sich in ihn und versucht, Dix von der kriminellen Laufbahn abzubringen. Doch gegen die Verlockungen des berüchtigten alten Juwelendiebes "Doc" Riedenschneider (in der deutschen Synchronisation: "Doc Esterhazy"), nach sieben Jahren soeben aus dem Gefängnis entlassen, kommt sie nicht an. Er heuert Dix für seinen nächsten, großen Coup an; der Mann aus Kentucky verspricht sich davon, die heimatliche Farm zurückkaufen zu können. Im Hintergrund finanziert der angesehene Unterwelt-Anwalt Emmerich (in der deutschen Synchronisation: "Emery") den vielversprechenden Raubzug – trotz seiner beeindruckenden Fassade ist dieser Grandseigneur und Frauenheld jedoch pleite. Ein nervöser, versoffener Buchmacher namens Cobby fungiert als Mittelsmann. Weitere Helfer, der bucklige Kneipenwirt Gus als Fahrer und der Safeknacker Ciavelli, ein Familienvater mit großen Geldsorgen, stoßen hinzu. Der Tresoreinbruch bei einem der größten Juweliere von Chicago läuft mit Präzision ab. Allerdings löst die dabei erforderliche Sprengung Alarmanlagen in der Umgebung aus. Die dreiköpfige Einbruchscrew ist schon im Besitz der Beute, stößt jedoch noch im Gebäude mit einem Wachmann zusammen. Ein Schuss löst sich, Ciavelli wird schwer verletzt.

Bei der Übergabe der Edelsteine offenbart Emmerich "Doc" und Handley, dass er ihre Anteile nicht auszahlen kann, da er im Moment nicht flüssig sei. Er plant, die Helfer aufs Kreuz zu legen, seine kränkelnde Ehefrau sitzenzulassen und mit der Beute nach Europa zu verschwinden. Emmerichs Geldeintreiber Brannom ist ebenfalls anwesend und hat plötzlich eine Pistole in der Hand. Denn er will mit Emmerich halbe-halbe machen und die Einbrecher ausschalten. Mit Hilfe eines Tricks kann Dix Brannom erschießen, handelt sich dabei aber selbst eine Schussverletzung durch den gefährlichen Gegner ein. Emmerich bricht in Tränen aus, muss aber froh sein, dass ihn Handley am Leben lässt. Die Leiche seines Freundes Brannom schafft er ins Auto und wirft sie in einen Fluss.

Brannoms Leiche führt die Polizei zu Emmerich. Nachdem er Angela, seiner Geliebten und angeblichen Nichte, am Telefon die Detektive avisiert und sie um ein Alibi gebeten hat, verschafft sie es ihm, ohne Näheres zu ahnen.

Nach "Doc" Riedenschneider wird mit Unterstützung der Presse eine Großfahndung eingeleitet. Dix bringt den "Doc" auf ihrer Flucht bei Doll Conovan unter, da seine Bleibe nicht mehr sicher ist. Cobby wird von einem korrupten Polizeibeamten unter Druck gesetzt und redet. Er und Gus landen im Gefängnis, der Polizist fliegt auf. Ciavelli ist mittlerweile bei seiner Familie gestorben.

Angela gesteht bei weiteren Ermittlungen ihre Falschaussage, worauf sich Emmerich erschießt.

"Doc" will sich mit dem Taxi nach Cleveland absetzen, wird jedoch wegen seiner Schwäche für Frauen in einer Kneipe verhaftet – ein tanzendes junges Mädchen schlug ihn in seinen Bann. Der schwer verwundete Dix will nach Kentucky zurückkehren, weil er der Großstadt längst überdrüssig ist und das Verbrecherleben satt hat. Doll bittet ihn, mitkommen zu dürfen. Dix versteht, dass er selbst nicht mehr fahren kann und willigt ein. Auf der Fahrt verliert er wegen des Blutverlusts das Bewusstsein. Schon auf dem Behandlungstisch eines Landarztes liegend, wacht Handley wieder auf und bemerkt, dass der Mann im Nebenzimmer die Polizei verständigt. Er rafft sich mit letzter Kraft auf und läuft aus dem Haus. Nach einer dramatischen Autofahrt erreichen die beiden Handleys ersehnte Heimat, wo er auf der Pferdekoppel tot zusammenbricht.

Hintergrund
 Huston bewunderte W. R. Burnett so sehr, dass er Burnett um Rat bat und ihm das fertige Drehbuch zu lesen gab. Der war davon sehr angetan, auch von der Rollenbesetzung des Films. Er hat aber bedauert, dass einige seiner interessanten Nebenfiguren und -handlungen (der Roman, von 1949, ist eine Rahmenerzählung) weggekürzt worden waren.
 Die berühmte Einbruchszene, bei der die Gangster kaum ein Wort sprechen, war Vorbild für viele Filme des Genres, besonders des französischen Klassikers Rififi (1955).
 Marilyn Monroe ist in einer ihrer frühen Rollen zu sehen, in der sie, wie in vielen ihrer Filme, eine naive Blondine spielt.

Deutsche Fassung
Die deutsche Synchronbearbeitung entstand 1950 im MGM Synchronisations-Atelier in Berlin.
Das Entstehungsjahr, kurz nach dem Krieg, war vielleicht verantwortlich dafür, dass aus dem in Roman und Film deutschen Emigranten Erwin Riedenschneider ein gewisser Arpad Esterhazy wurde, der aber trotz seines typisch ungarischen Namens angeblich Bulgare ist und auf seiner Flucht mit dem Taxifahrer Frank Schurz, anders als im Filmoriginal, nicht deutsch, sondern bulgarisch spricht.

Kritiken

Auszeichnungen
Für Asphalt-Dschungel erhielt Huston 1950 den Preis der National Board of Review als bester Regisseur. Asphalt-Dschungel wurde auch beim BAFTA-Film-Award als bester Film nominiert, jedoch gewann der Film Alles über Eva. Huston wurde auch 1951 für den Oscar als bester Regisseur nominiert; die Trophäe gewann jedoch Joseph L. Mankiewicz für Alles über Eva. Auch Sam Jaffe wurde für Asphalt-Dschungel als bester Nebendarsteller nominiert, verlor aber gegen George Sanders in Alles über Eva. 2008 wurde der Film ins National Film Registry aufgenommen.

Jupiter formed back in 2013 by four members of Versailles after the popular visual kei band went on hiatus, so initially many people wrote them off as not much more than a side project with a different singer and slightly different style. However Versailles restarted in 2016, Jupiter is still going strong, even though with a drastically changed lineup, that includes a new singer and only two of the founding members. And their musical direction changed as well, especially after their new singer, Kuze joined last year. Kuze, being the former singer of popular metal act Concerto Moon has a power & symphonic metal background and a very different, more classic rock voice and singing style compared to Zin, his predecessor, so his arrival pushed the band's traditional metal influences to the foreground even more.
They dropped a single called Theory of Evolution last August and will release their new album, ZEUS ~Legends Never Die~ this week… followed by a European tour in May! They will visit ten cities across six countries and (unlike most visual kei bands that tour in Europe without opening acts) they will be joined by five different bands throughout the tour: Season of Ghosts an "electro metal" band from the UK (led by Sophia Aslanides, who is mostly known as one of the several former singers of Japanese hybrid metal group Blood Stain Child), German symphonic metal group Aeternitas and French solo visual kei singer Lightning will accompany them for the first half of the tour, while German vk group VII ARC will hop in for the last couple of shows along with fesFE[M] a Japanese visual kei band that formed in 2016 and belongs to the scene's newest generation.
The tour kicks off in Germany on the 9th of May and will end in Madrin eleven days later. Scroll down for the tour schedule, album info and Jupiter's and fesFE[M]'s most recent videos!

Oprah May Run for President After All — If God Tells Her To
Winfrey indicates there's just One Way she's running for president now. Photo: Presley Ann/Patrick McMullan via Getty Images
Those of you who were hoping that Oprah Winfrey would run for president in 2020 were probably discouraged by her pretty strong recent statements denying interest in the challenge. "[I]t's just not in my spirit," she told one interviewer earlier this month.
But it seems now that there was a loophole in Winfrey's disclaimer, according to The Hill:
Oprah Winfrey said she's had billionaires offer to fund her presidential campaign if she runs for the White House, but said she's waiting for a sign from God.
"I went into prayer," she said of calls for her to run for president.
Now, it's reasonably clear that the Almighty has not spoken to the billionaire entertainer/journalist/philanthropist/entrepreneur just yet.
"'God, if you think I'm supposed to run, you gotta tell me, and it has to be so clear that not even I can miss it.' And I haven't gotten that yet," Winfrey told People Magazine in an interview published Wednesday.
This statement gave me the willies, since I recently watched an episode of the cable-TV mini-series Waco about the famous 1993 siege in which Branch Davidian leader David Koresh reneged on a deal to surrender to authorities because he was awaiting a "sign from God." It did not turn out well for anyone involved, to put it mildly.
In Oprah's case, of course, if she does nothing, her home will not be besieged by heavily armed federal agents; she'll keeping doing what she does.
One interpretation of her remarks is that she's really saying no power on earth can get me to run for president. If so, it would have been much better if she had expressly put it that way. Otherwise the tantalizing, if most likely illusory, prospect of a Winfrey run will continue to live on in the imaginations of people in and out of politics, like the Cheshire Cat's smile. And there's no telling when the talk will end: If nobody can tell Oprah Winfrey what to do, it's even clearer that nobody can tell the God of Hosts when to send a sign — or not.

Историко-культурный комплекс Пловер находится на восточном берегу бухты Провидения. Назван по имени зимовавшего в ней английского корабля «Пловер».

История
В 1848—1849 годах в бухте перезимовал британский корабль «Пловер» под командованием капитана Томаса Мура. Выйдя из Плимута в январе 1848 года корабль крейсировал по Берингову морю в поисках потерянной экспедиции Франклина. 17 октября 1848 года судно Мура бросило свой якорь в безопасной гавани. В честь первой успешной зимовки в районе Берингова моря он дал название бухте — Провидение (Провидения).

В 1920—30 годах в бухту Пловер на летний охотничий сезон переезжали некоторые эскимосские семьи из Авана и Урэлика. С 1936 году с открытием Пловерской морзверобойной станции, на восточной, маленькой косе Аслик начал строиться новый поселок Пловер, в котором проживало до 150 жителей Авана, Урэлика и отдельные семьи из Унгазика, Кивака, Сиреников.

В 1958 году после обвала каменной осыпи, вызвавшего большие разрушения и человеческие жертвы, поселок Пловер был закрыт.

Planning Commission tackles Historic Town Entrance
January 8, 2017 by Wayne Creed 1 Comment
The Town of Cape Charles has been lobbying Northampton County officials to find a way to manage new development along the State Road 184 and 642 corridors, which the town refers to as the Historic Town Entrance. Of note, these parcels are considered town edge and are under the planning and zoning of Northampton County.
Town Council and the Board of Supervisors met last October to discuss ways to work around town edge zoning and provide Cape Charles with a way to manage the look and feel of the entrance to town. Members of the Board of Supervisors, including Chairman Spencer Murray stated that Cape Charles was vital to the county, and that understanding the town's concerns as it pertains to the development along the entrance corridors was important. While it was understood that businesses on 13 would inherently be competing with businesses in town, an effort to have the architecture of any development be more sympathetic to the historic nature of Cape Charles instead of the metal buildings such as the Dollar General was worthwhile.
The Planning Commission has reviewed the zoning ordinance sections that apply to the Commercial – 3 District which may provide an "acceptable design of future new construction". The staff report notes "That zoning district is considered part of the Town's entrance gateway." While the current County zoning ordinance has a one size fits all approach to 'Town Edge', the hope is that both the town and county planning commissions could come together to hammer out an unique, 'Cape Charles Town Edge', tailored to the unique requirements of this location.
Below are the current design standards which Town Council could use as a basis for future discussions with Northampton County officials:
Article III, Section 3.6.F.1.e Materials. New construction should use materials in a manner sympathetic to the historic buildings in the Town of Cape Charles. Materials should be of similar or complementary color, size, texture, scale, craftsmanship, and applicability to function performed. It should be noted that the sympathetic use of materials does not imply that materials used in new construction will replicate the old in detail nor that new construction will attempt to imitate historic structures. Rather, it is a matter of determining the compatibility of the new with the old. Certain materials are potentially so visually intrusive that their use for new construction in the Town will not be permitted. These materials include: aluminum or vinyl siding; asphalt siding; carpeted porch floors and steps; corrugated metal,except for roof applications; exposed concrete block above foundation level; exposed concrete masonry;faux brick and stone (brick face); flush exterior doors; inappropriate window treatments; jalousie windows; picture windows; windows with horizontal glazing; metal or wood awnings; open mesh-type fencing; ornamental pierced concrete masonry screens and walls; painted concrete masonry; unpainted wood; vertical plywood siding; vertical wood siding on primary structures; wrought iron and aluminum porch columns.
Article III, Section 3.6.F.1.g Utilities Upon installation or replacement of utility access lines, such lines shall be installed underground.
Article III, Section 3.6.G.1 Architectural Treatment No building exterior (whether front, side, or rear)will consist of architectural materials inferior in quality, appearance, or detail to any other exterior of the same building. Nothing in this section shall preclude the use of different materials on different building exteriors (which would be acceptable if representative of good architectural design) but rather shall preclude the use of inferior materials on sides which face adjoining property and thus might adversely impact existing or future development causing a substantial depreciation of property values.No portion of a building constructed of unadorned concrete or concrete block or corrugated and/or sheet metal shall be visible from any adjoining agricultural or residential district or public right of-way.Mechanical equipment whether ground level or roof top shall be shielded and screened from public view and designed to be perceived as an integral part of the building.Article III, Section 3.6.G.4 Outside Storage Areas All outdoor storage areas shall be visually screened from public streets, internal roadways, and adjacent property. Screening shall consist of either a ventilated solid board fence, masonry wall, dense evergreen plant materials, or such other materials as may be approved. All such screening shall be of sufficient height to screen storage areas from view.Outdoor storage shall include the parking of all company owned and operated vehicles with the exception of passenger vehicles.

Sorry Wayne I don't understand one bit of your artificial too much strange english the ordinary person cannot understand, write like you are talking to me in real life instead of trying to sound like a lawyer.
Note: I kind of agree Tony, but the zoning issue is a technical one, based on language in the ordinances. I agree I could have done a better job.

The latest artistic guise of Dylan Richards (formerly known as King Cannibal on Ninja Tune and Zilla on Warp), assumed since moving to Berlin from South London, House Of Black Lanterns delivers a defined change in vision and style. Retaining the earlier influence of DJ Krust's sprawling drum & bass soundscapes, Richards develops his sound to incorporate the dub-inflected techno textures of Rhythm & Sound whilst nodding to the catchy, yet occasionally bleak floorfillers of Trax, all inspired by the modern noir visual style of Michael Mann.
"House of Black Lanterns is firstly about suspense, space and depth. It's more restrained than anything I have worked on before; that threat of violence is buried deep in texture rather than worn outwardly on my sleeve." House of Black Lanterns
'Kill The Lights' is the first album project on Houndstooth, and is a masterpiece in genre-weaving, tied together by poignant emotional and effortless force. 'Names' featuring Leni Ward and 'Shot You Down', co-written by Alpines' Catherine Pockson, pack a softer punch; heavy on the intricate production but lighter on the dark atmospherics. 'The Walls Are Closing In' and 'You, Me, Metropolis' reconvene in the tripped-out, skittering techno basement where we found 'Truth & Loss' and somehow Richards combines these with ease, his sound simultaneously dark and startlingly original.
Championed by the likes of Mary Anne Hobbs, hand-picked by Björk to work on her recent 'Biophilia' project, selected by Liam Howlett to remix the Prodigy and invited to compile retrospectives of the Warp and Ninja Tune catalogues as Zilla and King Cannibal respectively, Richards is no stranger to critical recognition when it comes to twisted, layered soundscapes. His latest guise House of Black Lanterns has enjoyed early support from the likes of dBridge, Benji B and Jon Convex and develops his own hand-carved tradition on one of the most exciting new labels around.

XXXTentacion's Mom Partners With the Artist Bankrupt to Help Underprivileged Kids
9/28/2018 by Marina Pedrosa

XXXTentacion performs during the second day of the Rolling Loud Festival in downtown Miami on May 6, 2017.
In honor of late rapper XXXTentacion, the MC's mother Cleo Bernard has teamed up with visual artist Bankrupt for the XXXTentacion Memorial Art Raffle. The project intends to raise funds for the XXX Foundation Inc, a non-profit organization focused on providing relief for impoverished and underprivileged families.
Bernard established the Foundation after her son's death in June, focusing all raised funds towards the charities and nonprofits that XXX was passionate about.
Art by Bankrupt -- who is notorious for his massive portraits of celebrities such as Biggie Smalls and Muhammad Ali -- created a custom piece following XXX passing that eventually caught Bernard's eye. Upon learning about the XXX Foundation's charitable work, the artist gifted Bernard the piece and decided to create a new one to be raffled, all in memory of her son's life and music.
"I'm always looking for ways to use my art for a positive impact or to give back in some way," the artist shared in a press release. "When Cleo and I met for the first time while delivering her son's memorial art piece, we both agreed on how important it was to give back and help people in need."
Set to be released on Monday (Oct. 1), the XXXTentacion Memorial Art Raffle winner will receive the priceless piece, as well as an all-expenses-paid trip to South Florida to visit the XXXTentacion mausoleum with the late rapper's mom. Raffle tickets will be available at $5 a piece via Art by Bankrupt's website, and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the XXXTentacion Foundation.

E-mail: tueno@bio.titech.ac.jp
The design of protein crystals has become a growing field in materials science and biotechnology. Protein crystals have immense potential for use as new porous materials that allow the precise arrangement of exogenous compounds by metal coordination and chemical conjugation in the solvent channels of the crystals. Generation of novel protein crystal lattices and regulation of chemical environments by design of protein interfaces represent important efforts in this field. In this review, we focus on recent advances in the preparation of 2D and 3D protein crystals by several approaches including protein engineering, ligand-mediated assembly, interfacial metal coordination, symmetric assembly by engineered proteins, genetic fusion of protein domains, and computational design of protein interfaces. A major advantage of using protein crystals as solid materials is that they can be utilized as porous biomaterials for accumulation of functional molecules, such as metal ions, metal complexes and inorganic nanoparticles. Protein crystals can be used in applications such as separation processes, heterogeneous enzymatic catalysis and drug delivery systems. It is expected that engineering of protein crystals will provide remarkable advances in the field of materials science.

Influencer Marketing: the $68M secret you don't know

Pura Vida Bracelets reported $68.3 Million in revenue for 2018 leading to an incredible acquisition by Vera Bradley — and they credit a lot of that success to influencer marketing.
Gretta Rose van Riel used influencer marketing to build multiple 8-figure ecommerce brands.
Scott Paul got LeBron James to promote his business for FREE! (Okay, there's more to that story, obviously – but you'll have to keep reading to find out the rest).
But how? And what the heck do they know that you don't?
I'm going to give away their secrets, and fill you in on the absolute best insights from the genius influencers and marketers on the front lines making it happen.
Oh, and if those numbers don't impress you, maybe this one will: $10,000,000,000
That's the predicted size of the influencer marketing industry within the next 5 years, according to Mediakix, a media company that has been closely monitoring growth and trends since 2015.
While that's not quite as big as a googol, it's still an enormous number and some truly impressive growth for a business category and marketing channel that was virtually non-existent a decade ago.
GoDaddy Websites + Marketing is the perfect ecommerce companion to your influencer marketing campaign.
Influencer marketing was destined to be a juggernaut from the very beginning. As soon as social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube made it possible for the average person to become a content creator — someone who could create their own brand, their own following, their own influence — the game officially changed. A new player stepped forward, one that would force marketers to alter their playbooks in ways that, at the time, seemed unimaginable.
Jane Doe became Jane Dough, and before we knew it, the modern social media influencer was born.
As brands continue allocating and shifting more of their marketing dollars towards influencer marketing (18% are spending between $100,000 – $500,000 per year, according to data shared by Bigcommerce), the biggest question everyone has is this:
How do I make this work for ME ?
This guide will give you the resources, best practices, and actionable advice you need to create and execute a winning influencer marketing strategy for your business.
Let's jump in!
Influencer marketing is about being picky: choose the right influencer
For most people, diving into the world of influencer marketing is like blasting yourself into space — you're out of your element, there are a lot of unknowns, and it can feel suffocating.
At least, that's how I imagine space…
Ask anyone who has invested any money into influencer marketing where to start and how to be successful from the get-go, and they'll all tell you the same thing: it's all about finding the right people for your business and your audience. Without the right people in place, you can still spend a lot of money but see very little return from what you put into it. The people you work with matter.
Here are a few tips for choosing the right influencer:
1. Know who wouldn't be a good fit
When you're trying to decide who to reach out to and partner with, sometimes the best thing to do is spend some time thinking about who you are not looking for.
That's the advice I got when I spoke with Neal Schaffer. Neal is the author of "The Business of Influence," and President of a social media agency called PDCA Social which works with Fortune 50 enterprises and Grammy award-winning musicians — so he knows a little bit about what works and doesn't work when it comes to influencer marketing.
"Before looking for an influencer, visualize who the ideal influencer should be," he says. "Marketers waste a lot of money and time reaching out to, and/or working with, influencers who weren't a good fit to begin with."
Schaffer adds that in order to start identifying or disqualifying potential influencer partners, you should perform a simple litmus test. "If your content appeared on their feed, would it be a natural fit? If not, that influencer relationship will not be a natural fit either," says Schaffer.
2. Don't let the numbers fool you
Vanity metrics are kind of the name of the game when it comes to influencer marketing, but you have to be careful when it comes to making decisions based solely on follower counts and likes. Some things are not always as they seem.
"It's not all about the follower numbers, it is about an authentic following and reach & engagement," says Meghan Connolly, a digital marketing expert and owner of Snowbird Social.
Meghan is skilled at knowing how to build a true community on social media. She grew her own dog's Instagram following to over 40,000 and now helps other brands run successful influencer marketing campaigns.
"An influencer with 10k followers can have as much or more influence than one with 20k, if the 10k has followers who listen to him/her/them," Connolly adds.
When I spoke with Kurt Elster, Host of The Unofficial Shopify Podcast and ecommerce consultant for Jay Leno's Garage, he agreed.
"When it comes to follower counts, bigger isn't necessarily better," says Elster. "In one recent campaign, we worked with several influencers. Our largest at 150,000 followers had zero clicks. Not sales… clicks! Our most successful influencer had 20,000 followers but tremendous engagement with his audience."
Elster wants people to understand that follower count isn't everything, and that oftentimes you're better off partnering with a handful of smaller players than one highly expensive, too-good-to-be-true player.
"I'd rather have 10 influencers with 10,000 followers each than a single 100,000 follower influencer any day of the week," he says.
3. Look to your brand champions first
It might feel like you need to go to the ends of the earth to find the perfect person to represent and promote your brand, but that's not always the case.
Sometimes, the perfect influencer is right under your nose, according to Scott Paul, CEO at Wooly. "I wish marketers knew that the best influencers are actually their customers," says Paul.
I talked with Scott because he co-founded and sold an influencer company and spent millions of dollars hiring influencers and building effective influencer marketing campaigns for major retailers (seriously — we're talking about the absolutely biggest ones, single retailers hiring him to find 200,000+ influencers for their campaign). He shared a great perspective on the value of reaching into your own existing community to find winning promoters.
Scott recommended that, before you spend a lot of time and money searching for a Lebron James-level influencer, look in your own backyard.
That's a photo of Lebron "promoting" Scott's company for free – you can read more about that here.
"Make sure you look deep at your customers and followers on social media before hiring an outsider to promote a brand," says Paul.
4. Remember the 3 R's
To find the right influencer, you have to take a number of factors into consideration — again, it's not just about reach and follower counts. There are other things you should be thinking about.
Gretta Rose van Riel talked me through this idea and gave me some good pointers when I asked what else someone should be looking for and thinking about when trying to hire the right influencer. In the past, she's used influencer marketing, including her own 16M+ followers, to build multiple 8-figure ecommerce brands. Today, she's the founder of Hey Influencer, which she describes as a dating platform for matching influencers with brands.
"We use the 3 R's to assess the right fit of influencers for our campaigns," she says. "Reach (the size of their following), relevancy (their niche and type of content) and most importantly relationship (having a strong, trusting relationship with their followers often displayed by quality engagement)."
To ensure that you're on the right track when searching for an influencer to hire, spend time thinking about the partnership you want to build, the type of person you want to work with, the goals you want to achieve, the brand style you want to support, and the audience you ultimately want to engage and build trust with.
5. Become familiar with average costs before negotiating
Before reaching out to an influencer and talking about price, it's helpful to know what some of the industry averages are. The investment you make will ultimately depend on the social site you're trying to tap into and how much true reach the influencer you want to work with has.
Alfred Lua of Buffer put together an impressively thorough resource on the topic that is worth digging into if you're thinking about allocating any of your marketing dollars to an influencer marketing strategy.
Here are some benchmarks he shares in his article that you can use when talking with influencers about price:
Instagram – $10 per 1,000 followers or $250 to $750 per 1,000 engagement
YouTube – $20 per 1,000 subscribers or $50 to $100 per 1,000 video views
Snapchat – $10 per 1,000 followers or $100 per 1,000 views
When it comes to talking with influencers about your budget, don't be afraid to negotiate — but don't be surprised if the quotes you get fall closely in line with the averages compiled by Lua shared above.
6. Pick true partners
To be successful with influencer marketing, you have to be willing to spend a lot of time searching for the right people — people who are actually going to be worthwhile partners who can help you achieve your goals and grow your business. That means experimenting with people who might turn out not to be the best fit for your business, and ultimately being OK with it.
For Bobby Umar, President at Raeallan, it's not about finding influencers that look good on paper — it's about finding influencers who will go the extra mile for you when it comes to engaging with the people you're trying to reach.
"Some influencers only do the minimum amount of work. Others work over and beyond to build relationships and truly engage their audience," says Umar. "Knowing the difference between the two will really set you apart when it comes to your influencer marketing."
I spoke with Umar because of his experience leveraging influence and building community. He has over half a million social media followers and has helped thousands of business leaders leverage their influence and grow their business with influencer marketing.
Some influencers aren't what they seem, so it's important to spend time doing work upfront to try to identify which ones are legitimate and which ones aren't, according to Bill Widmer, Co-owner of The Wandering RV. Bill Widmer is a content marketing expert who's worked with Shopify, Bold Commerce, and dozens of other high-growth online businesses, using influencers to build up backlinks to his 10x content.
When I asked him about what his biggest tip was when it comes to hiring influencers, he had this to say:
"Understand that it's completely possible (and very easy) for "influencers" to buy followers and likes en mass," says Widmer. "Before you hire an influencer, do your due diligence to make sure their followers are real and actually engage with their content," he adds.
On the flip side, some influencers might not look like they have much influence when you consider the size of their audience, but looks can be deceiving.
There's a growing trend in partnering with micro-influencers — people who have a smaller following but a more active, engaged, and loyal audience. These can be some of the best people to work with when you're experimenting with influencer marketing — but people don't realize it. They get stuck on follower counts and end up missing out on smaller partners who might actually be able to help you more than a big celebrity influencer would.
When I spoke with blogger and influencer Brittany Porcelli, she agreed. "The biggest myth is that micro-influencers will not help your brand," she says. "Often times micro-influencers are more willing to do more for your brand — more posts, more Instagram stories, etc., and are willing to put their resources towards a longtime partnership."
Joel Hansen is a Business Development Manager at Skidmore Group. He also helps brands like Adobe, Canucks, Clippers and Linkedin with youth engagement. Hansen agreed with Porcelli when I asked him about the value of micro-influencers.
"The biggest myth I believe that stands to be true is 'the more followers an influencer has the more effective a campaign can be'. You'd be surprised the amount of impact a variety of micro influencers or a local community leader can have compared to a celebrity account with 40% dormant followers," says Hansen.
Finding true partners, and working to build long-lasting partnerships with them over time, will ultimately make your investment in influencer marketing much more worthwhile in the long run.
To find great partners, consider exploring influencer sourcing platforms like HireInfluence, Tribe, Famebit, or Upfluence.
Influencer marketing is about more than likes and followers: Use influencers as content creators
Launching a successful influencer marketing campaign isn't just about connecting with the right influencer — to be effective, you have to take it one step further: you need to find the right influencer who can help you create the right content for your audience.
Influencers only exist because they create content that resonates with an audience. While we're here to discuss how to optimize influencer marketing, it all leads back to creating great content.
Content is still king.
You can hire a dazzling influencer with hundreds of thousands of followers, but if at the end of the day they can't help you connect with your audience, you're just wasting your time and money. That's where content comes into play.
Here's a real life example — through my advertising agency, my team and I have done some crazy stuff, like helping a client scale from $20k to $4M in a year. As an ads company, we're accustomed to paid promotion as a means of delivering content, and less accustomed to leveraging an influencer's influence to deliver content.
In both cases, the content is the real draw that creates value with an audience. The influencer / paid promotion are just the vehicles.
Influencer + Content is the key formula for influencer marketing. Here are a few tips that will help ensure that you're set up to build winning content into your influencer marketing campaigns:
1. Evaluate influence AND content
A big part of your time discovering and evaluating prospective influencers should be spent looking at the other content they create for themselves and for the other brands they work with.
Ted Rubin, CMO at Photofy, supported this line of thinking when I asked him about how content plays a role in influencer marketing campaigns. Rubin was the Chief Social Marketing Officer of Collective Bias (an early entrant to the content and influencer marketing space). Today, he's a well-known speaker, author, and consultant. Here's what he told me:
"The vast majority of 'influencers' are simply talented content creators," says Rubin. "Treat their influence like you would good content. Consumers like it, share it, and rely upon it to help make decisions…so measure it the same way you would media."
In other words, don't choose to work with an influencer solely based on the size of their audience and the level of engagement they receive. Evaluate the type and quality of content they create, and decide if it aligns with your brand and your audience.
2. Throw out the cookie cutters
Every influencer will approach content differently. There is no one-size-fits-all approach.
Because of the unique relationship and opportunity that exists, you should spend time developing an individual content strategy for each influencer you work with.
"Work with individual influencers to brainstorm ideas for co-creating content," recommends Kerry O'Shea Gorgone, Host, Punch Out With Katie and Kerry.
When I asked her to elaborate on what she meant, she said, "each one has more reach on one platform or another, and specializes in certain types of content. Some would be perfect for live tweeting your conference sessions, but others are qualified to handle on-site interviews or to create original video content.
"Know your influencers and create a strategy that maximizes each one's unique talents and abilities," she adds.
Spending time upfront to think about the unique content a particular influencer could create for your brand and audience will help ensure that you're building a more interesting and compelling library of content in the long run. It'll also help you experiment with different types and styles of content in order to learn what your audience likes and responds to best.
3. Look within your existing community
When you're looking for good content partners, sometimes it's as easy as looking within your existing community.
"Influence is everywhere, so consider not just collaborating with micro and nano influencers but also with your followers, your fans, your customers, your partners, and even your employees," says Neal Schaffer.
David Brier, Chief Gravity Defier at DBD International, took this idea one step further when I spoke with him about where to go to find great influencers. Looking at your existing community is one thing — but what about even looking to your own profile?
"BECOME the influencer you seek. Seriously. Too many seek some "impact" from others who have done the hustle," he says. "The BEST influencer marketing is to elevate your own profile to become an influencer."
And that's not just talk for David.
Daymond John (yes — the Shark Tank guy) calls Brier "brilliant with branding." Grant Cardone calls him "a branding genius," and Claude Silver, Chief Heart Officer of Gary Vee's VaynerMedia, when asked about David's bestseller said, "This is not only an outstanding book on branding but is an excellent example of branding, design and content I keep in my office. I only wish I had this book at the beginning of my career."
Before you spend too much time evaluating talent agencies and negotiating with top-dollar influencers, find out if you have any passionate and willing content creators within your own audience (it could even be you!). Going this route will allow you to spin up campaigns sooner — you won't have to spend time educating influencers on your products and business because they already know it well).
It'll also likely cost you less money — brand loyalists and brand champions might help you in exchange for free products or because they simply want to see your business continue to succeed.
Influencer marketing isn't a "quick fix": measure influencer campaign success
Because influencer marketing pretty much always requires you to allocate a significant portion of your marketing budget toward something that might not make a directly attributable impact on your business, it's important to think about how you're going to ultimately measure success.
Here are a few tips to consider as you think about what you're trying to get back from your influencer marketing campaigns:
1. Be willing to play the long game
The first thing you need to realize is that influencer marketing is not a get rich quick scheme. It can take a while to see any sort of return or impact.
"Do not expect people to buy your product straight away when they first see it promoted from an influencer," says Nathan Chan, CEO of Foundr Magazine.
I talked with Nathan, who used influencer marketing to build Foundr from nothing to one of the top 10 business magazines in the app store in just a couple of years, about this idea of having patience (which as an entrepreneur is really, really hard to practice). Chan recommends trying anyway and to not be discouraged just because you're not seeing sales skyrocket right away.
"Be prepared to play the long game, a lot of those influencer's fans will follow your company, and eventually buy over time," he says.
Chan also wants people to realize the additional long-term benefits of building out an influencer network for your brand — benefits that don't always appear right after launching a campaign.
"It's not just about generating a return, it's about the content and the long game and building your brand using influencers overtime," says Chan.
Ted Rubin, mentioned earlier in this article, agrees. He says that the idea that you get immediate and instant return from an influencer in the form of sales is a myth.
He explains that there's this mistaken belief that, "influencers actually influence people in the way that they jump up to go buy something when those you are paying as influencers tell them to."
Rubin adds, "there are perhaps a handful of people who can make something like that happen and they don't come cheap. The majority of "good' ones create great content that consumers like to read and watch, and via that ability provide a great deal of reach and attention."
2. Know which metrics truly matter
When you're thinking about what success looks like in an influencer marketing campaign, you also have to recognize the difference between views and true engagement.
"I'm glad that the industry overall is maturing but I think that many people fall into vanity vs true engagement metrics," says Brian Wallace, Founder and President of NowSourcing.
When I spoke with Wallace, who, in addition to running his company, is a Google Small Business Advisor and on the SXSW Advisory Board, he confirmed something that I've been hearing from many other experts in the industry. "If you are just counting a number of likes, you're likely to be disappointed and in many cases those numbers are going away," said Wallace.
In other words, don't get distracted by big numbers. Focus on how your audience is engaging with and responding to influencer content to truly understand how it might be impacting your business and relationships with potential buyers.
3. Recognize the true value of an influencer marketing campaign
When you're spending real dollars, it's easy to want to dig into the exact financial impact of a campaign — you want to be able to measure direct ROI. But with influencer marketing, you have to understand that the return is significantly more complex. It goes back to being willing to play the long game and seeing what impact you can make to your business over time and in what ways.
Nathan Chan, mentioned earlier in this article, shares an example to help bring this point home:
"When working with influencers it shouldn't be treated as a transaction and measured just on ROI. This is only one measurement of success on working with a particular influencer," says Chan. "What about the content they create for you? If you paid Kylie Jenner to do a post, the post, yes, might make you $$$ from her followers, but what about the ability to use that image of her with your product in your PPC ads? What is the cost of that? These are the things that you need to be looking at for a successful influencer marketing strategy / campaign!"
Chan is essentially saying that although you might not see an immediate or direct return on your investment, it doesn't mean you won't be able to add value to your business down the road. The point is that you are building a library of content that you can repurpose in a number of ways and on a number of platforms.
4. Be true to your primary objectives
Before getting too deep into launching an influencer marketing campaign or hiring influencers, you have to set some clear objectives.
"Know the specific objectives for why you want to work with influencers and how you will measure their success," says Neal Schaffer, mentioned earlier in this article.
Schaffer explains that setting clear objectives will help you evaluate performance during a campaign and allow you to make the right adjustments along the way.
"Every influencer will deliver different results, so being able to measure and compare their effectiveness will allow you to achieve greater ROI by shifting more budget to well performing influencers," says Schaffer.
This willingness to plan ahead and make decisions in real-time is the difference between launching a one-time influencer marketing experiment that doesn't show clear ROI and building a repeatable, scalable strategy that brings measurable ROI and value to your business long into the future.
Influencer marketing is a repeatable process: How to be successful
In most cases, you're probably not going to experience overnight success when you launch an influencer marketing campaign. It's going to take time, experimentation, and effort.
That being said, there are some things you can do that can help ensure your success:
1. Be patient and put in the time
Influencer marketing is just as much an art as it is a science. You have to understand that going into it. There's an art to building community and content that will resonate with people.
Ted Rubin, mentioned earlier in the article, mirrors this line of thinking:
"Influencer marketing, when used to its best effect, is about building a network of business relationships that will yield results over time," he says. "You'll get as much out of the program as you put into it. So if your goal is to find a platform, and make this like programmatic advertising, and do whatever you can to automate the process… you will be throwing the majority of your budget down the drain."
2. Know where it fits in your overall strategy
Don't just invest in influencer marketing because it's the latest buzz word you're reading about everywhere. Instead, decide if it's actually a worthwhile tactic to test in order to meet your goals and better serve your audience.
Sofiya Deva agrees. She's the VP of Marketing at Zen Media and has won both a gold ADDY and a platinum Hermes award, and has worked with incredible brands like Chase, the US Navy and Tupperware.
"If you want to invest in influencer marketing, make sure you understand how it fits into your larger marketing strategy, and more importantly — your customer journey," she says.
Deva believes that before jumping into this particular tactic, you should ask yourself, "What will engaging with these influencers allow your customers/clients to do, say and be?"
Joel Hansen, who currently directs CIMC (Western Canada's largest marketing/PR conference) and works with brands like Adobe, Canucks, Clippers and Linkedin with Youth Engagement, echos what Deva says with some very practical feedback on what he likes to see from brands that reach out to influencers, "A brand guide and overview of the marketing campaign and how you play a role in shaping the outcome can be a very helpful foundation to introduce a relationship. I always appreciate when there is proof that they've done the research on my content and know my audience demographics. Lastly, a couple references from other influencers they've worked with always goes a long way."
When I talked with Sujan Patel, one of the most recognizable names in growth hacking and founder of Mailshake, about this topic, he suggests that people should not get too enamored by the idea that influencer marketing has a guaranteed and immediate return no matter what.
Instead of putting all your eggs (and money) in one basket, he wants people to focus instead on what truly matters.
"Influencer marketing can drive huge sales and drastically grow your business," Patel says. "It can be and has been for certain companies but it's not always the case. It's worked well for direct-to-consumer companies and ecommerce businesses but, as time passes, the things that worked a few years ago will become less effective and played out. Don't get caught up in the sexy-ness of an influencer marketing campaign…instead, focus on building a product and brand that people love."
3. Build out your network
If you're going to experiment with influencer marketing, don't just dip your toes in — do a cannonball.
Don't just work with one influencer. Instead, work with and learn from many.
"Work with multiple influencers at once, and use those relationships to cross-promote each influencer's post," says Bill Widmer, who was mentioned earlier. "Tag them in one another's posts and help them grow off each other's audiences as well as your own."
Gretta van Riel has similar advice to share.
"What you're looking for is audience overlap amongst your influencers. This repetition will mean far higher conversion rates as consumers often need to be exposed to a brand several times before purchasing," she says. "We look for what we call influencer 'clusters' or groups of influencers that share very similar audiences for example family members, friendship circles or the fact they've all been on a recent reality tv show for example."
Blogger and influencer Brittany Porcelli recommends building a strategy that leverages both major and micro-influencers to get the best reach and engagement possible.
"Use a combination of influencers and micro-influencers with higher engagement to help drive purchase," says Porcelli. "Micro-influencers help push your message through the lower funnel."
4. Keep experimenting with influencer marketing
Finally, never stop experimenting and learning—even while a campaign is still running.
Larry Kim, CEO at MobileMonkey and founder of WordStream (which was acquired by Gannett for $150 million), explains why you need to be constantly testing in order to experience the full potential that influencer marketing has to offer.
"There is a diminishing return due to audience fatigue. The first time you partner with an influencer, your products/services are totally new to that audience," says Kim. "Over time, the novelty wears off. It's similar to the concept of "Ad Fatigue" in online advertising. Thus, you need to keep changing the content campaign being pushed by your influencers, and periodically switch influencers you partner with, too."
Goldie Chan, founder of Warm Robots, agrees. Goldie is the top LinkedIn Video creator with the longest running daily video series on the platform amassing over 5 million views and counting earning her the title of, "The Oprah of LinkedIn" by Huffpost. She's also a global keynote speaker and digital strategist.
"Influencer marketing is constantly in flux," she says. "One day a platform may be the number 1 way to drive traffic and the next day, it may fall completely flat. It's not always influencer-specific, on occasion it is the overall health of a platform that can determine campaign success."
Influencer marketing is not a one-size-fits-all strategy. It's not a golden nugget or a silver bullet. Like most marketing tactics, it's easy to plan but hard to implement effectively.
It takes time, money, and effort. You're going to fail, but you're also going to learn, and through the process, you can build a strategy that meets the needs of your business, and more importantly, your audience.

Q: Consistency strength of $j:L_δ→L_δ$ for some δ What is the consistency strength of existence of a nontrivial elementary embedding $j:L_δ→L_δ$ for some ordinal $δ$?
The consistency strength is strictly between totally ineffable and $ω$-Erdős cardinals, but I do not know where it should be placed relative to completely ineffable, 1-iterable, remarkable, 2-iterable, $n$-iterable cardinals ($n<ω$).
The least such $δ$ is also the least such that there is $S⊂δ$ with $|S|=ω$ and $S$ being indiscernibles for $L_δ$.  (The latter formulation makes it a deceptively weak-looking statement.) Moreover, we can pick $S$ such that $S$ are good indiscernibles and also that every element of $L_δ$ is definable in $L_δ$ from a finite subset of $S$.  $L_δ$ will satisfy ZFC with every $κ∈S$ (if we used good indiscernibles) totally ineffable and $L_κ≺L_δ$.
A theory with slightly weaker consistency strength, using language $(V,∈,j)$, is ZFC + $j$ is a nontrivial elementary elementary embedding $V→V$, with transfinite induction (least ordinal principle), but without separation and replacement for formulas involving $j$. (This avoids Kunen's inconsistency; see for example The spectrum of elementrary embeddings j : V → V by Paul Corazza.) I am also curious about the strength of that theory.
Ramsey-like cardinals and Ramsey-like cardinals II would suggest that the strength is above $n$-iterable.  If that is correct, then for $n<ω$, existence of $α$ and $β$ with a nontrivial elementary embedding $j:L_α→L_β$ with $j^n(\mathrm{crit}(j))<α$ is likely interleaved in $Σ^1_2$ strength between $n-1$-iterable and $n$-iterable cardinals (if I am not off by 1).  However, none of this is explicitly stated, and I do not know if I am missing some assumptions.

new bond film highlights 9/11 insider trading
from infowars: In a twenty first century update, the new James Bond Movie, Casino Royale, directly references 9/11 and highlights the fact that massive manipulation of airline stocks prior to the attacks account for a leading motive behind the event.
The movie, based on the original 1953 novel, has been updated with a terrorism plotline in which the bad guy, Le Chiffre, is a banker to the world's terrorists and in order to stop him, and bring down the terrorist network, Bond must beat Le Chiffre in a $150 million poker game at the Casino Royale.
The movie contains a significant reference to 9/11 when M, the fictional head of MI6, tells Bond the following:
"When they analyzed the stock market after 9/11 the CIA discovered there had been massive shorting of airline stocks. When the stocks hit bottom on 9/12, somebody made a fortune."
In the film, Bond prevents the same thing happening again with the Boeing stock, by thwarting the bombing of an airbus prototype plane at Miami airport. With their prototype destroyed the company would have been near bankruptcy. Instead, someone (we later discover it's Le Chiffre) loses over a hundred million dollars betting the wrong way as Bond foils the plot.
As has been extensively reported over the past five years, multiple sources of criminal insider trading were discovered after 9/11, indicating that many different parties had prior knowledge of the attacks.
The most significant instances of this however, and ones obviously not revealed in the Bond film, are the CIA and FBI linked cases that indicate the intelligence services, at best had prior knowledge of the attacks, and at worst were involved in their orchestration.
The London Independent among others reported that the firm used to buy many of the "put" options – where a trader, in effect, bets on a share price fall – on United Airlines stock was headed until 1998 by "Buzzy" Krongard, at the time the executive director of the CIA.
Until 1997, Mr Krongard was chairman of Alex Brown Inc, America's oldest investment banking firm. Alex Brown was acquired by Bankers Trust, which in turn was bought by Deutsche Bank. His last post before resigning to take his senior role in the CIA was to head Bankers Trust – Alex Brown's private client business, dealing with the accounts and investments of wealthy customers around the world.
Other publications reported similar stories concerning FBI personnel.
On the one hand it is quite surprising to see that such a reference to the shorting of airline stocks made it into the Bond movie, primarily because the 9/11 Commission spectacularly omitted it from their investigation into the attacks.
One would think that any investigation would attempt to follow the money as it were, to trace the funding of and profits made from the attack in an attempt to discover the perpetrators. Apparently not in this case.
The Commission also failed to look into the fact that the head of the Pakistani Intelligence agency, General Mahmoud Ahmed, wired $100,000 to the lead hijacker, Mohammed Atta, in the days before 9/11. Ahmed was having breakfast on the morning of 9/11 with Porter Goss, the head of the House Intelligence Committee and the next head of the CIA.
Is the 9/11 reference a simple plot device in the Casino Royale? Is it an attempt by the script writers to further blow the whistle on the insider trading? Or is it an attempt to steam valve the information, to mix fiction with reality and thus confuse the two?
In another item of interest to Infowars readers, the film, on general release now, also features Bond being "chipped" with a tracking device in his forearm, which at one point saves his life.

Government to Call Off Search for a New FBI HQ

Federal authorities plan to end over a decade of searching for a new FBI headquarters, the Washington Post reports. For years, FBI officials have warned that their current headquarters in the J. Edgar Hoover Building were crumbling, and posed a potential security threat. Officials hoped to sell the property to a private real estate developer, and put $2 billion toward a new FBI facility in the D.C. suburbs. But officials from the General Services Administration, which oversees federal property plan to cancel the search in a Tuesday phone call, sources told the Post. The FBI is expected to remain in its current headquarters.

Nishinjo was a name of the gate of Tsuji, a red light district in Naha that prospered prior to the war. Nishinjo translates to "north gate" in English. The street that ran through the gate eventually reached Shuri Castle, the royal capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom. The song "Nishinjo Bushi," often sung as a male/female duet, tells a story of a prostitute in love with a rich man, probably a bureaucrat, working in Shuri. The two spend nights together, and they always part at the gate. "Please come with a car next time, so that we can stay longer," begs the prostitute.
I tired to translate the song into English. To get a better understanding of the lyrics, I first needed to translate it into Japanese. Wan (first person pronoun in Okinawan) could be translated to watashi (female pronoun in Japanese) . . . or boku (male pronoun)? Then I realized that it didn't matter because in English it would all be translated as "I." Jo means a gate and kuruma is . . . a car. A car . . . I remembered the cars American people rode in Okinawa. They all had the character "Y" on the license plates to distinguish them from those owned by the Okinawan locals. Y-numbers (that was how we called the American owned cars) could freely go in and out of the gates of American military bases, while most of the Okinawans couldn't. And it was those American men on Y-numbers who contributed to Tsuji thriving again after the war, albeit temporarily.
Also it was the area where the Teahouse of the August Moon was built during the American occupation-era. It became the model for the film of the same name, which told a love story between a Okinawan geisha girl and an American soldier.


Classroom pets may seem like a lot of extra work and responsibility to some, but the truth is that having pets in the classroom has many educational benefits for young children.
Caring for a pet can help young children develop important social-emotional, oral language, science, math, and literacy skills.
Caring for a pet can help young children develop empathy. As they help take care of and feed your classroom pet, they will start to become more aware of the feelings and needs of others – a big step for little ones!
Providing your students with a real world experience such as caring for a live animal is also a very effective way to teach responsibility. You may even want to create a classroom job where students take turns feeding and caring for your classroom pet. This is sure to be the coveted job in your classroom!
There are so many different types of pets to consider for your classroom. Before you choose a class pet you'll want to weigh all of your options carefully.
These are some of the most popular classroom pets for preschool.
Many teachers choose hermit crabs or Betta fish because they are very inexpensive and easy to care for.
Guinea pigs are also popular because they can actually be held and touched by the students. The act of holding another living thing can have a very calming and soothing effect on young children.
You can purchase your pet from a pet store, or you can ask your local community on Facebook if anybody has a pet they are looking to re-home. There are also grants available for U.S. and Canadian teachers who want to get started with a classroom pet.
Picture books are the best way to introduce almost any concept in an early childhood classroom, and pets are no exception.
Read one of these books above and invite your kids to discuss the different pet possibilities for your classroom.
After you've chosen your class pet, invite your students to help you name the pet. Start by recording the children's name suggestions on chart paper, then narrow the choices down to two or three.
Next, write the name suggestions across the top of a piece of chart paper and invite students to "vote" by writing their name below their favorite choice.
Having classroom pets can be a big responsibility, it's important to think carefully before making the decision to get a pet for your classroom.
Does your governing agency (program, licensing, district etc.) allow pets?
Do you have any students with allergies to certain pets?
Are you willing to care for your pet on weekends and school holidays?
What will happen if your pet gets sick and needs to be seen by a veterinarian?
Who will pay for the pet's food and accessories?
When you know and understand all of the different aspects of having a classroom pet you'll be better prepared to make the right decision for you and your class.

I may not leave it up forever, but I'll let you know well in advance before I take it down.
I spent all day yesterday at an f/sf convention, but oh my, don't think I wasn't sending many thoughts to the west, to Colorado. I'll have you know I checked this thread this morning *before* my personal e-mail!
Now I'm actually sniffling. What a gift, to be part of this community.
One more reason to be grateful to the good professor, whose work has put into motion more positive things in this world than most people accomplish in a lifetime of good works.
I wonder how people (in the pictures) feel about being identified. I think I've sorted most of the people out but there's a few stragglers in there I haven't. I totally understand if there is some hesitancy about this.
Congratulations Altaira!!!! What a wonderful group of friends you have! I still remember the lovely lunch we had with Aunt Dora many years ago.
But I know how hard these guys all worked and I held Auntie's hand (by email at least) while she agonized over the "conspiracy" including the sleepless nights of secret-keeping, LOL.
The Quest would have been in vain, even at the bitter end. So let us forgive him!
But I will not have him slain. It is useless to meet revenge with revenge: it will heal nothing.
Quite an inspiration, our Frodo.
Your 'concepts' on love (actually real 'knowing' goes beyond this cerebral cover) built in to our 'world of being's' foundation being Tolkien, i feel is the greatest truth. Having said that, i will say i love you Altaira. I love all yous guys. I love you Anneal. It is amazing what love manifests. You did good:). You all did good:).
When we were questioning whether a list of names should be put around the border, where a thought arose where it could construed as 'back-patting', if i may use this wording, i said these names represent faces, spirits that love her and surround her and she should know that. As in the way Sam's family (my recent fanfic) surrounded him.
"You can trust us to stick to you through thick or thin-- to the bitter end. And you can trust us to keep any secret of yours-- closer than you keep it yourself. But you cannot trust us to face trouble alone, and go off without a word. We are your friends."
Merry... in "A Conspiracy Unmasked"
I oozes out sometimes, doesn't it! Moments like this just clarifies how incredible this place is!!!
on a conspiracy well done, and Altaira, no one deserves better! Wish I could have been there.
...noon here in Hawaii. That means 6pm on the east coast, 3pm on the west coast.
Each month they have special focuses (called film festivals): Star of the Month, Director of the Month, and some theme. the do birthday tributres on a stqr or direcotr's birthday and memorium tributes when someone dies (usually within a few days). They have many documentaries (which I can't get enough of and copy/save), many great interviews (also copy/save), and the "Essentials" on weekends (the films that should not be missed).
The special focuses are fantastic for really getting to know the filmography of an actor or director. When you see films all together like that, you get a real good idea of the talent. Actors I once thought I didn't care for I now love or at least apprecate their work. I know direcotrs a lot better now. What Ireally love is the historical stuff about film itself: about the inventions (when, who, how, effects, meaning in film history), what studios did what kinds of films, what they were famous for, who worked at what studio, what films were made whn, he importance 1939 in film history, ...so much more.
I've written papers on the subjects of film history. It was my thing long before I became a Tolkien fan... since I was a kid sneaking up late to watch the old movies on tv with the volume down really low so my step-father would catch me.
But I'm a very geeky historical film fan and TCM is 'home' for me. TCM, I think was made just for me!!!
how you guys made it through all this without breaking down in tears and becoming as incoherent as Altaira. I weep just seeing the pictures and reading your descriptions. It's clear that the project couldn't have had better representatives than you! Thanks and thanks again!
I am still having to stretch my mind around that fact that Daniel Reeve did this... OMG... DANIEL REEVE DID THIS!!!...keeps shouting in my head. And those shots of Altairas face! Oh dear lots of tears!
I viewed this last night whille you all were sleeping Got home from my own Bilbo Party around 8:30 (that is 2:30 east coast).
The string of shots as she opens it... tears rolling down my face. I agree with Morwen that the "ones of everybody taking turns posting on TORN. Somehow, that sort of brings the rest of us to the party with you." Cna't reall see much, or read much, but it makes it al cicular somehow.
I love the folowup shots... how long the amazement stayred on her face, the reactions shots of the conspirators mirroring her reaction... All so wonderful.
Thank you so much for these picts... It all helps put me right there and makes teh long wait worth while..
"these names represent faces, spirits that love her and surround her and she should know that."
I just *had* to look again, didn't I? I just had to go back through Aunt Dora's album, and now I'm sniffling again. But this time I noticed something: Altaira and BG have the same tablecloth I do! Cool!
I feel *so* blessed and grateful to have been a part of this. It meant the world to me.
It's been a month of Sundays since I've seen you here! Thanks for popping in!
that the very last "name' listed is "and Mellonea": and friends. Not everyone who loves Altaira and BG had a chance to contribute, but their love is included in that group hug around the border.
You all are the reason this project was successful. Not only did you bring this about with your monetary contributions; your ideas, enthusiasm, discretion, patience, inspiration, and dedication are the reason we had such a wonderful day on Saturday. Add in the skills, generosity and professionalism of Daniel Reeve, and success was assured.
So pat yourselves on the back for a job very, very well done. Those of us who could be present were just the enablers - YOU enabled us to be there.
We're working out details for print and poster orders, so stay tuned! I know we already said that, but it's true!
There may be a couple of other folks in some of the shots. A couple of Altaira's Tolkien society friends showed up. And an old friend of Annael's came over to see her while she was in town.
I did figure you out from the hat. I then worked out who walked in with you openly and who knocked on the door. Wasn't RosieLass in there? I thought she was part of the expected party.
That left two who were knocking, who had to be Entmaiden and Annael. Someone mentioned Entmaiden holding her hand to her chest so that gave her away and identified Annael as the other.
The young one: I kind of figured she might belong to you.
It was all a bit like one of the logic puzzles.
hmm... thinks hard about possibilities.
but, I know what you mean. These are not to be widely published images.
Thanks so much for posting these, Aunt D. I didn't properly save the others when I had the chance.


It's Foodie Friday and I have a good fine for you!
and oh boy, they are delicious!
Of course, originally I found them on Pinterest! What would I do without that site?
You want to make them too?
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and brown sugar.
Pour liquid mixture into flour mixture and mix until just combined.
In a paper lined muffin tin, scoop 3 tablespoon size scoops into each muffin cup (I used my cookie scoop). Bake in a pre-heated 375 degree oven for 17-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
