would be built on the island has generated much buzz in the Charleston community. Centrally located within walking or biking distance of most students' homes, this community-based school is positioned to become one of the best public schools in the State. Construction on the school will begin later this year. Meanwhile the Daniel Island Academy, an Early Childcare Center serving ages 1-4, is under construction and will open for classes in August. The school will be one of less than a dozen in the Charleston region accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. The Academy is accepting applications and registrations now, and is already more than halfway filled to its capacity of 300 students.

Mainland – "Shiner EP"

Shiner EP
New York rockers Mainland's debut, Shiner EP, starts the opening track ,"Savant", with a guitar riff reminiscent to The Pixies' "Cecilia Ann", the opener from their 1990's Bossanova album. It's noticeably different, but a worthwhile nod if intended.
While Mainland harbors a sound that echoes the protopunk rockers of the late 70s and 80s, it's less gritty and lighter. "Savant" is a particularly good start to the 4 track EP as it sets a fun pace for an album full of rebellious sounding garage rock. Infectious rhythm and beats push the song alongside Jordan Topf's lyrics, espousing a freedom and direction that has him impatient and optimistic as he cries "don't leave me waiting too long, you are my way." The title track, "Shiner", follows in suit by moving from enigmatic guitar riffs into some serious bass work that pushes their sound into what sounds even more like the Pixies with more harmonic vocals. The remaining tracks on the EP both complement the front half and dig a deeper well for them to pool their collective talent. It's still beach grooves laid over garage rock, but they explore this sound exceptionally well through "Leave the Lights On", and then slow it down for the EP's final track, "Heaven".
Throughout the EP is a sense of cohesion between each track and is a testament to Mainland allowing each member to shine through their own instrumental outlet. I am drawn to the parallels of the Pixies and the protopunk rockers, but overall it paints a pop sound that reminds me of Phantom Planet, the short-lived Detroit rockers Moods for Moderns, or even Toronto's Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet. Mainland holds a rhythm in each track alongside a beachy daze of guitar work and demanding vocals that makes for a wonderfully refreshing mix that begs for multiple spins.

The Problem with Pokemon
Posted by Dracophile Posted on January 17, 2010
No, I'm not about to rip into the (many) problems with the modern-day era of Pokemon. As much as I'd like to do that I don't even know enough about Gold/Silver/Crystal to even begin to fabricate an argument higher in thought than "it sucks pretty bad". This article is about a peculiar video of the same name, specifically the November 30th, 1999 episode of the television show In Focus, a religiously-charged broadcast that airs on WVCY TV30 in Wisconsin. This shoddy public access tape traveled all the way from Wisconsin down to the bowels of South Texas to meet me, like a stroke of destiny, in a Goodwill store. I always lurk the VHS section of any second-hand store because I have a knack for the awkwardly cringeworthy and that's simply the place for the best pickins. Nestled in between a copy of The Land Before Time 45,713 and Popeye cartoons in Spanish lied this VHS — a simple black tape with a homemade type-written label reading "THE PROBLEM WITH POKEMON". I bought it with a smile on my face knowing this would be superb, and it was.
I don't know much about In Focus but according to the VCY America website it's still in production and the hosts are still as hilariously stupid and biased as always. Essentially In Focus is your run of the mill church-based call-in show programming full of "JESUS DID IT" as an excuse for everything and their response to anybody who thinks otherwise is to, quite literally, hang up on them. Pokemon was a "big thing" in the late nineties and as you can imagine these Bible-thumpers were all over this opportunity to tell the world how Satanic and evil Pokemon were because church-going kids were yet again distracted from a boring as hell book by flashing lights and a naturally awesome video game that can only be described as "badass".
Here's the opening sequence to the show. It's going to blow your fucking mind:
After having seen that I want to remind you that an actual human being had to sit down and put that together and someone else thought that was suitable for their show. No less than two people were involved with this monument of fail and for a station that boasts "broadcasting to all 50 states" that means the entire country is going to have to see what you make… and this is the best they can do. You can see what level of crazy we're dealing with here just by watching the intro. It starts out simple enough with important faith-based issues like "abortion", "politics" (so much for that separation of church and state, right?), and "faith" (for added redundancy). Somewhere along the line, though, the guy who put this together was clearly so impressed with that "swoosh" effect that he threw in as many possible topics that he could think of and we are left with "law enforcement", "education", "news", "divorce", "pornography", "justice", "creation/evolution", and my personal favorite: "inner city".
If you're keeping track with me than we aren't even a minute into this show and it's already spiraled down into insanity and then the actual broadcast starts wherein we are greeted by… nobody because the anchor fails to introduce himself at all until a graphic shows up a full minute later informing us of who exactly is talking. Our fantastical unnamed host runs through a plethora of Pokemon franchise information such as "maybe you've seen the recent movie" to the term "Burger King paraphernalia" to basically any other phrase that could be replaced with "if you've been living under a rock, here's Pokemon".
"Hi, I made straight D's in TV Broadcasting 101. PS: Jesus."
After tumbling through at least 15 different places one may have heard about Pokemon our host Jim gives what is quite possibly the worst handoff in television history to their "local expert"… who apparently is also named Jim and is also a host of- oh wait, no he's not. Someone just dicked up the graphics. Jim… or shall I say THE REAL JIM states that he's going to be getting into a lot of Pokemon-oriented topics including "where they get their power" and somehow tries to meld that sentence with an invitation for you to call your friends and have them tune into In Focus as well because, as Jim claims, "it's going to be a great show". The end result is an English sentence that sounds like it was translated to Spanish and then back to English until it made absolutely no sense whatsoever. Bizarro Jim (his real name is actually David Brown) is quick to start rambling on about how "new age" Pokemon is in its efforts to replace the Bible's teachings of morality with… well, Boulderbadges and Thunder Stones I guess; he too never completes that thought. If either of the two of these hosts had any TV broadcasting education whatsoever they must have gone to the equivalent of DeVry University to get said "education".
David makes no hesitation to rain on everyone's parade by reading off a laundry list of criteria that someone of equal religious disillusion can use to gauge how Satanic Pokemon (or anything for that matter) is by comparing the media in question to a battery of observations that clearly aren't impossible or biased in any forseeable way. After this soapbox speech of crazy you'd think David would summarize his point by showing the camera a piece of Pokemon merchandise that broke these magical declarations of the Bible, but no he flashes to the camera an NWO Sting wrestling figurine… then Darth Maul from Star Wars along with some Star Wars books… then some Star Trek nonsense… then a Marvel Comics Ghost Rider and Venom figurine… then the obvious candidate, a Harry Potter book. Jim tries to step in and make some relevance out of what Old Man River is babbling on about but David goes right back along showing a package of the ill-fated Mythos trading card game followed by Magic: The Gathering until Jim finally tries to summarize his seemingly Anti-Christmas speech by asking David about the Pikachu plush toy he brought with him.
BOBBY BOUCHER, YOU BETTER NOT BE PLAYIN' THE FOOSBALL BEHIND MY BACK IT'S THE DEVIL!!
Jim introduces the Pikachu as "cute and cuddly" which gives David the opportunity to start talking about how Satanic the iconic character is and "not to be fooled" by its cute appearance. David goes on a miniature tangent rant about Time magazine featuring Pokemon on their cover which is then revealed to be a lead-in to "magazines devoted entirely to Pokemon", which is said as David simultaneously flashes a Game Boy player's guide to the camera… something more akin to a book and not a magazine. David has brought all of these little artifacts into the studio with the sole purpose of blasting them but I feel that he fails to realize that he pretty much bought copies of everything he intended to label as "demonic" effectively adding money into said "new age" companies and further perpetuating their products.
David takes a moment to explain the origins of Pokemon, correctly attributing the name to "pocket monsters" and then linking it straight to Japan. You can almost see the glimmer in his eye as you feel this bizarre wave of xenophobia take over the broadcast; you know David hates the Japanese because earlier in the broadcast he calls Eastern religions "incorrect" — those "Oriental" countries… as he calls them, come on David just be out with it already and say "Chinamen" you know you want to!
David then whips out his trump card, a VHS tape of Pokemon episodes called Psychic Surprise. He is floored to be able to show this and he tells us to get ready for the first clip and they show… wait for it… wait for it… the theme song. They then proceed to meticulously rip apart the lyrics to it and only analyze the parts that kind of resemble anti-Christ doctrines like "being the best" and somehow twisting "travel across the land" as a means of conquering worlds which if these jackasses are paying any attention is exactly what members of their church did to "spread the gospel", and by "spreading gospel" I of course mean "crusading". They confuse the marketing term "gotta catch em all" with a demand for kids to ACCEPT SATAN INTO THEIR LIVES.
Pictured above: The Necronomicon (on VHS).
Basically these winners ignore the phrases in the theme song that talk about "defending the world" and virtues like having courage in favor of blasting only what their agenda-riddled… agenda… can apply to. Reverend Gary Oak (for lack of a better name for David) flexes his Internet prowess by showing the camera that he has printed out a character sheet from the Pokemon website and talks about how Brock is a bad role model because he likes girls; "hormonal" as the paper says. Really? He's 13 years old and he likes women? Holy shit sound the alarm there's a kid going through puberty who found out he likes girls! Clearly this is reason for alarm and David cues up his Pokemon VHS tape to specific scenes where Brock is seen macking on the ladies. Utterly disgusting. What is wrong with this young man who clearly doesn't want to make love missionary style and through a hole in a sheet? For shame, Nintendo, for shame.
Jessie and James cross-dress as a disguise and that's bad. Brock likes girls and that's bad. There's sex in my pokeyman and that's satan. David quotes his favorite relevant Bible verses to make a point so just to counterpoint I am going to do the same. What, you think someone of my caliber doesn't know the Bible? Well that's an inappropriate assumption now isn't it? Fuck you. And as I quote Ezekiel 23:20:
There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.
I'm not going to really explain that quote in detail because it has an air of prostitution with just a hint of bestiality thrown in for good measure but seriously, from a morality standpoint which of those is the lesser of evils? Bad guys being cross-dressers… or comparing cock sizes and cumshots with livestock?
At least they don't talk about Poliwhirl's junk.
The best part of this broadcast, however, is when they open the phonelines to viewer calls. Now normally I'd find hilarity in them sitting in silence for the next 25 minutes while nobody calls because nobody is watching their stupid program but then again we're dealing with humans here and when humans are in a large group they tend to lose intelligence exponentially so yeah there's a lot of callers. Despite the assumed intellect of the people calling in there's such an amazing spectrum represented ranging from insane grandmothers rambling about Stephen King to young children doing their best to defend Pokemon and politely telling the hosts of this show to "suck it".
The very first caller is a man who seems like he thought his example through but he makes the mistake of saying you should make your children aware of Pokemon so they do not fall for it. David steps in and literally calls BS on that (he says "Yeah, I'm not buying that") because he knows that a giant turtle that can blast a sea at you has more kid appeal than some dickhead who can simply part a sea and even telling a kid about how monumentally awesome that is will effectively sell him to the dark side for good. More and more people who call in take the same stance much to the despair of the hosts. The second caller is my favorite in the entire tape, perhaps because I can understand what she's talking about but the hosts clearly cannot. She calls in and acknowledges that the psychic type Pokemon can use telekinesis and connects to the Stephen King movie Carrie, a story of a girl who has pyrokinesis (she sets things on fire with her mind). Jim has no idea what she is talking about and it's such an epic moment that I felt the need to go through the over-complicated process of transferring the segment to digital video. Enjoy.
All of the kids who call in do so to defend their interest and believe it or not for kids they raise some mature points that the hosts of In Focus blast down with the type of logic that belongs to preschoolers. Eric, the very first young caller, skips no beats in pointing out that David has been incredibly exclusive in his choice of Pokemon to attack noting that he's stuck primarily on the psychic types and absolutely none of the others. He challenges David on live television asking where Pikachu gets his "occult powers". David's response? He hangs up on the caller, badly rehashes some nonsense about fighting, and they take the next one. The next kid who calls, Casey, insists that it's not a bad game because it teaches responsibility and says that you have to take care of your Pokemon, to be a good keeper in other words. I was rooting for Casey to take it home for us and tell David where he can shove those anti-Pokemon pamphlets but her argument quickly falls apart and they kick her off the show as well. Mark, another caller, flat out acknowledges that the bad guys are the ones who cross-dress so he asks "why would people want to do that if that's what the bad guys do?" David is taken aback and once again has to drudge up the same "BUT TEH GOOD GUYZ HAS TEH OCCULT POWARZ SO DEY BAD TOO".
Forget what I said about Iesha though, because a caller named Jason is my true favorite caller. The first thing he says is that he is disappointed with the Poke-bashing. Jason notes that it's a passing fad and then goes on to question what the difference is between the violence and antics depicted in Pokemon compared to those in Looney Tunes, raising a bunch of questions in the process and effectively bringing the roof down on WVCY's fun house. Jason summarizes his call by saying that claims from shows like In Focus are indoctrinating parents to stifle the creativity of their children by blocking them from otherwise harmless media. David tries to quickly pick up the pieces claiming that Looney Tunes never have "occult" powers and that Bugs Bunny never cross-dresses. You can see where David just made a mistake because Bugs Bunny cross-dresses as a disguise gimmick in a number of cartoons and Jason jumps on that immediately. David, defeated, arrogantly declares that it's clearly different because Bugs Bunny is an animal… somehow making it okay? Jason doesn't say it but come to think of it isn't Pepe Le Pew a lot like Brock in that all he does is chase after women? You know what, screw it. Here's another video just because Jason is my hero. Godspeed, Jason.
In summary these religious nutcases are just that, religious nutcases. They're looking for a reason to be crass and belligerent and to rain on people's parades by injecting one book of fairy tales into another and claiming that their stories supersede those of all others. They claim that kids being mean to younger siblings and begging for Pokemon cards from their parents is a sign of falling for Satan but I say that's simply a phenomenon called BEING THIRTEEN YEARS OLD. Replace "Pokemon" with any other fad in the history of forever and you will have the same exact stories of bullying and average pre-teen mentality. These people are just butthurt that no sane kids except for Moral Orel think that Christ is radical enough to warrant the attention that everything else popular with kids gets. Party poopers will always be party poopers and so long as the First Amendment covers this insanity then people like the fine folks at In Focus will be able to talk out of their asses for an hour each week about whatever topic they feel is brainwashing kids into worshiping the Devil be it Harry Potter, Pokemon, or the entire decade of the 1990's.
It gets better, though. The wonderfully inept company behind this production, Logos Communications (Logos pronounced "low-goss"), said that they have a pamphlet of information about Pokemon available for a "minimum" donation of $5. That seems a little steep for Xerox'ed copies of "ITZ TEH DEVAL" but just for the hell of it I sent Logos a "donation" of $6.66 and asked for their "Problem With Pokemon" information. We will see how that goes. During the credits of the show they say you can have a copy of the broadcast for $20 meaning somebody paid twenty bucks for this damn thing and I got it at a Goodwill for ten cents; that's a bargain, folks. I should also mention that even though this was taped a decade ago I still tried calling the phone number to the show and it rang. And rang. And rang. Somewhere out there is a lonely telephone in a television studio ringing, and nobody is there to answer it… and that's kinda scary if you picture it in your head.

NYC council votes to mandate plastic bag recycling

NEW YORK (Reuters) - In a bid to curb the environmental impact of nearly 1 billion plastic bags used by New York City consumers annually, the city's council passed a bill on Wednesday requiring large stores to set up recycling programs.
The bill, which will likely be approved by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, also requires stores that occupy at least 5,000 square feet to make recycled bags available and to use bags printed with a pro-recycling message.
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn said costs to businesses would be "insignificant" in part because stores can sell bags to recycling businesses, which pay as much as $100 per ton of plastic bags, and turn them into new products like plastic furniture.
Environmentalists have targeted plastic bags as a scourge that take years to biodegrade and contaminate soil and water.
In March, San Francisco became the first U.S. city to ban non-biodegradable plastic bags from large supermarkets and the state of California enacted a law in July that requires large stores to take back plastic bags and encourage their reuse.

Raffles Hotel Le Royal – A history of hospitality. The luxury of time. The secret charm of Cambodia. One of Asia's essential destination hotels, Raffles Phnom Penh has been the iconic resting place for the well travelled since 1929.


For this edition of 10 Questions, Sun columnist Katie Schubauer sits down with men's basketball senior forward and tri-captain Aaron Osgood. They discuss everything from team favorites, nicknames, and costumes.
1.	Aaron, you are the senior captain of the Cornell men's basketball team. What has basketball meant to you over the course of your college career?
It's been my life pretty much. You wake up and you're already thinking about practice or the game. You base your class schedule around it, you eat your meals at certain times. It's a huge part of my experience here.
It's been a great experience. Really, really great.
2.	Who is your favorite teammate?
My favorite teammate? That's a tough question. Pretty much [senior] Adam Wire, [junior] Chris [Wroblewski], [senior] Max [Groebe] and I are kind of a foursome, I guess. We're always around each other, we're always messing with each other and all that. So I don't know if I can really give you a favorite. I'd have to say all three.
3.	Did you play any other sports in high school?
I played tennis, actually. I also played a little lacrosse when I was a freshman and sophomore.
Were you a "lax bro"?
Yeah, I was a little bit. You know, I was tall, and had some flow and all that, but it didn't really fit me.
So how did you decide to play basketball in college?
I started playing basketball when I was a freshman in high school because I was a tennis player and I was pretty good. People had been pushing me really hard since I was young but I was just kind of tired of it. I was a head case so I was getting in my own head all the time and I wanted to play a team sport. So I started playing basketball and liked it, and then I grew a lot—A LOT.
So you weren't always super tall for your age?
No. Until freshman year I was always a little tall, but not crazy tall. Now I'm crazy tall.
4.	Do you have any nicknames on the team?
Everybody's been calling me "Arrow" since I was in middle school because those are my initials: A.R.O. And this year, they started calling me "Oz"—the new coaching staff, that is. I don't really know if I like it but I'll take it.
What about this nickname "Salty Banjo"? Care to explain that one?
"Salty Banjo." It comes from intramural softball. Every year, we get together in a room and discuss nicknames for our team because we all get jerseys and then put them on the back. For some reason, Max decided that "Salty Banjo" would be a good nickname for me because … well, you'll just have to check it out on urban dictionary. He thought it was fitting because I play guitar, and banjo and guitar are almost the same thing. So I guess he thought "Salty Banjo" would be a good name for me. Other names include Adam Wire's — we wanted his to be "Gaseous Clay." Max himself we call "The B.J. Bandit." It's just kind of a tradition where everybody gets an embarrassing nickname.
And where does Max's come from?
(Laughing) I don't know. You'll have to ask him about that.
5.	One of your teammates has said that he gives you a hard time about "being dirty." What sense of the word "dirty" is he using there?
(Laughing) I don't think that teammate really knows what he's talking about. I mean, my room isn't the cleanest and I do spread my clothes all about the house, but I think he's referring to a different kind of dirty. Most of the time when my teammates can't think of anything else to call me, they just call me dirty.
Do you think the nickname is completely unwarranted then?
I mean, I guess there have been a few times in the past where I have done some grimy things — one involving a Best Western — but who hasn't? It's college and you're only young once.
6.	Would you consider yourself a good storyteller?
I can tell a good story now and then, yeah.
I was just wondering because some of your housemates apparently think otherwise.
Something about "Tall Tale" maybe?
Yes. Is that another nickname?
Yes, that was my softball name the year before. I guess they think I exaggerate a few stories here and there which might be true, might not be. But I like to think of myself as a pretty good storyteller.
7.	Who would you say is the best in your house at SuperSmash Bros? I know you guys play a lot.
Yeah, we do play a lot—too much probably. I would say myself. I am the best — in my own mind.
In your own mind, I see, but what about in everyone else's opinion?
Well everyone thinks they are the best, but I know I am the best. I really do.
8.	What were you for Halloween this year?
I was Shaggy, part of the Scooby Doo Mystery Gang.
How did you decide on that costume?
I actually went on a date the weekend before Halloween, and I wore a green v-neck on the date. And I came home and my friends were discussing Halloween costumes and they had come up with Scooby Doo. When I walked in and saw me in my green v-neck, it was perfect.
Well was it a good date?
I mean it was a pretty good date, yeah. We got some ice cream — it's always good to get some ice cream on a date.
So I guess she was a Scooby Doo fan then?
9.	So speaking of girls, apparently you tend to get very infatuated with these girls you call "angels." What's that all about?
Well there are a few girls out there that just brighten your day when you see them. It's not all about the looks, but it's also about the way they act. It's hard to explain. I guess a comparison would be Elisha Cuthbert before she married the hockey player. Once an angel gets in a relationship, her angel status is revoked. It started a couple years ago when Chris and I responded to some of the older guys hooking up with grimy girls and we wanted to show them the light.
How has this infatuation with the "angels" worked out for you?
Well, in terms of hooking up with the angels, not so good. But I think that once someone hooks up with them, they are no longer angels so it's kind of a rough cycle. But this whole chasing angels business gives Chris and I something to do, so that's good.
10.	Which other Cornell team do you like to hang out with the most?
This is a tough question because there are a lot of very talented, good-looking women's teams here. When we're in season, we aren't involved in a lot of social activities but in the fall, we had a great time with the track team and lacrosse team. So I'm going to say it's a tie between those two.
Perceptive readers have probably noticed that the Daze section no longer appears weekly in the pages of The Sun. The plot of its demise is not particularly straightforward, and I think it's important for me to examine how The Sun handled the situation.
Borders, the bookstore at The Shops at Ithaca Mall, will close by the end of April after the store's parent company, Borders Group Inc., announced on Wednesday that it will file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. According to Mary Davis, spokesperson for Borders Group, the Ithaca store is closing under the Chapter 11 reorganization because it is "under-performing" relative to other Borders stores nationwide.

Targeting working professionals in the field of engineering and science, University of Houston-Clear Lake Pearland Campus is offering a master of science in engineering management beginning spring 2019. The engineering management degree, says Ki-Young Jeong, program chair and associate professor of engineering management, has one of the highest domestic student enrollments in UH-Clear Lake's College of Science and Engineering.
The degree program will continue to be available at UHCL, but will be offered at UHCL Pearland Campus as well because of its high demand, both by prospective employers and working professional engineers.
Jobs include project management, systems engineering, product engineering, operations management, or business/data analysis. "Anyone in a science or engineering field can benefit from this degree," he said.
He added that there would be no overlap between courses. Students could take just one or two 8-week courses at a time depending on their workload.
For more information about the master of science in engineering management program, visit www.uhcl.edu/science-engineering/departments/engineering/engineering-management.

These two forms were created while maintaining the wood and metal workshop of the music art school in Bielefeld in 1998. The white form was made first. I was used for some experiments placing it on the paths next to the Sparrenburg castle, on a phone box and into trees to study the spontaneous reactions of the passerby. It's final place was on a tree in front of the main entrance of the school.
The black form was attached on side wall of the Sparrenburg castle in direct sight line of the white on, approximately 100m away. The placement was done on a Friday. Next Monday, I was informed that on the Saturday was as "day of the open monument", with quite a lot of visitors in the area of the castle.

J.P. Morgan's Jes Staley is leaving the bank, the latest top lieutenant of Jamie Dimon to depart.
Staley will be joining BlueMountain Capital Management, a firm run by former J.P. Morgan executives that traded against the London Whale and profited, but then helped the bank unwind its positions.
Dimon, in a memo to managers, praised Staley for his 34 years at J.P. Morgan and noted that BlueMountain was an important client to the bank.

How to Increase cpc uk.
Increasing CPC is sort of tough as a result of BPK itself may be determined by many ways in which starting from the choice of niche blogs, discussion topics and a lot of. the provide from Adsense isn't tiny if it will work well on your website, particularly for a distinct segment (site|website) as a result of it tends to a site that has one niche is incredibly seemingly to receive the best CPC as compared with multi-niche sites.
Many cases they succeed by running google adsense by simply increasing CPC how to create a blog one niche. because with one niche site high ad offerings from adsense is very possible once. but as many have said by bloggers to get ideas or develop niche blogs it sounds very difficult, but for me personally it is not difficult if you have good skills and have wide skills.
Blog one niche is preferred by adsense because usually this niche blog brings traffic directly from the traffic of course users will see ads based on their interest to come to the website, eventually the ads will always be relevant based on the interest of readers. you need to know that adsense is a contextual ad network that means the ads can appear relevant based on user interest.
Ad selection is one factor to increase CPCs, good ads and can appear relevant based on interests typically 300 x 250 – 336 x 280 and 250 x 250 ads. This ad unit is often said to increase the highest CPC I've heard from adsense observer experts. and according to one of the adsense masters I've read unique link advertising is one of the best ads working for CPC UK but this is rarely used by all sites or bloggers.
One thing you should know is that to increase your CPC, never to add another ad. meaning only apply ads on your site with adsense. because if you put ads other than adsense adsense likely your CPC UK will be low and your income will go down. Why? because if you put ads other than adsense the possibility to click on ads will decrease as well as ads will not be relevant anymore.
Ad Delivery is a way to increase CPCs. good ads placed in strategic areas such as at the beginning of the post and at the end of the post, in addition to bring a lot of clicks ads are very likely to be seen directly by your visitors when landing on your site, so try that the ads should be directly hit on the target and can visible to the user.
The speed of your site in demand to get a higher CPC, because with the high speed of the site adsense adsense possibilities can appear perfect and of course advertising networks on offer on your site more varied and relevant. many who have tried this but not infrequently I met their site is still just slow even ads can not fit the reader is in the middle area. this is one of the causes of ads at the beginning of the post is often not visible.
It has been proven that by simply limiting or fraud click ads can bring higher CPC adsense. this will keep the fraud that happens to visitors who will deliberately want our ads have a bad impact on adsense ads. for troubleshooting and avoiding invalid click ads you can use fraud-click monitor plugin, this plugin will limit all invalid click treatments and will increase your CPC higher.
That's the right way to increase CPC UK on adsense, I myself continue to look for loopholes to increase my income as an adsense publisher, if you have an interesting experience again would you take the time to comment under this post, with your experience will make it easier for us to get better ad revenue.


foggidawn: Two different treatments of the same fairy tale -- both very good!
Crazymamie: Another fractured fairy tale. This one is a take on the Snow Queen with lots of literary references.
Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow is author Jessica Day George's take on the fairy story East of the Sun, West of the Moon. The author stays very close to the original story and adds more detail and depth to her version. As this was one of my all time favorite stories when I was a child, I was ready to fall under it's spell once again.
Jessica Day George has previously used her talents to bring other fairy stories to life so I knew that she would do the original justice. I liked how she developed the story and used Nordic touches that gave this version a strong sense of place. The heroine who has the ability to speak to animals was likeable and her pet wolf, Rollo, who supplied much of the humor and acted as a sounding board for the main character, was an excellent addition.
Still love this story, although the "romantic" scenes are a little hard to get through. So cheesy. I'm tempted to knock a star off my rating for that, but my enjoyment for the book overall is still a solid 5.
As the nameless lass searches for the answers to the riddles that surround her and her loved ones, readers will find themselves engaged in the emotions and adventures that she faces.
Mystery, adventure, the supernatural, and a touch of love are woven together to create a vivid, well-crafted, poetic fantasy.
Rich in Norwegian lore and perfectly delicious to read.
For my parents: You gave me life, you gave me love, you gave me a plane ticket to Norway. Thank you.
And so they lived for many a long year, as happy and lighthearted as the birds in the trees and the flowers on the hill in spring.


Kent County Council's (KCC) Scrutiny Committee has established a Loneliness and Social Isolation Select Committee to identify ways it can support the county's older residents.
The topic was proposed for consideration by Mr Ken Pugh, who was elected chairman at the select committee's inaugural meeting on July 23.
The committee will investigate the current services available and identify initiatives and strategies to prevent or reduce the impact on residents.
The committee is cross-party and independent from the council's executive.
It will gather information via several hearing sessions with relevant witnesses, off-site visits and the collection of written submissions from experts and interested stakeholders.
Mr Pugh said: "Loneliness and social isolation are serious issues with wide-ranging consequences.
"Although loneliness can affect anybody, its mental and physical effects can be particularly detrimental for older people, as the health risks associated with it increase as people age.
"It has been estimated that about 30,000 people in Kent alone suffer from acute loneliness. While we are aware that tackling this problem is not easy, we believe that more can be done to alleviate suffering and improve the lives of our older residents".
The terms of reference were agreed at the committee's first formal meeting on July 23.
To put into context social isolation and loneliness, and to identify the groups of people who are particularly affected by social isolation and/or loneliness in Kent.
To investigate the impact of social isolation and loneliness on Kent's older residents.
To investigate the extent to which KCC's current service provision and partnership working is effective in dealing with social isolation and loneliness amongst older people in Kent.
To recommend initiatives and strategies to prevent or reduce the impact of social isolation and loneliness on Kent's older residents.
To help the committee gather as many views on this important issue as possible, KCC would welcome any written submissions about loneliness and social isolation.
If you would like to send information for the committee to consider, please email select.committee@kent.gov.uk by midday on Monday September 10, 2018.
Once all the information has been considered, the committee will develop a report that puts forward recommendations for improvement to be considered at a full county council meeting in early 2019.
You can find out more information about the select committee and read the published agendas here.

New Aico 3000 Series Fire & Co Alarms For Full Circle Protection
Aico, the UK's market leader in domestic mains powered Fire and Carbon Monoxide (CO) detection, has launched the new Aico 3000 Series. This technologically advanced series detects both Fire and CO and includes, for the very first time, a Multi-Sensor Heat & CO Alarm, providing whole property coverage from one Series.
"The 3000 Series represents one of the most significant advances of the Aico product range in recent years" states Aico Managing Director Neal Hooper. "It's the coming together of the very latest alarm technologies with Aico's reputation for unbeatable reliability and quality. We refer to the Aico 3000 Series as having 'intelligent simplicity' - we've built intelligence in to every alarm whilst ensuring simplicity for every install."
Unique to the 3000 Series, the Ei3028 Multi-Sensor Heat & CO Alarm has been much anticipated as a convenient, cost-effective, efficient solution to protecting residents from both Fire and CO. With high heat sources from cooking appliances posing a potential fire hazard and gas fuelled appliances representing a potential source of CO, combining Heat and CO detection in one alarm is a sensible approach, welcomed by landlords, contractors and residents alike.
In addition to the Ei3028 Multi-Sensor Heat & CO Alarm, the Aico 3000 Series incorporates a mains powered Multi-Sensor Fire Alarm and single sensor Optical, Heat & CO Alarms. All alarms in the Series use the same easi-fit base (a first for Aico CO Alarms) and feature intelligent sensors, AudioLINK data extraction and SmartLINK wireless interconnection and whole system data monitoring capability.
Aico's multiple award winning AudioLINK data extraction technology enables real time alarm data (e.g. number of times tested and details of alarm activations) to be extracted directly to a smartphone or tablet via an App which creates an Alarm Status Report. It identifies any issues enabling action to be taken immediately, which is effective for tenant safety and in reducing the cost of return visits to a property. AudioLINK also aids compliance for landlords, providing proof that alarms are working at the start of a new tenancy and with annual Gas Safety Checks.
Next generation Radio Frequency (RF) technology, SmartLINK enables alarms and system accessories to be interconnected using RF signals rather than hard wiring. Hard wired interconnection is time consuming, disruptive and costly in existing properties, whereas wireless interconnection is quick, easy and requires no redecorating. The new SmartLINK technology is smarter and easier to use than its predecessors and future-proof. What's more, Aico is currently developing SmartLINK technology to enable a Gateway and Portal based system with real-time notifications.
All alarms in the 3000 Series are backwards compatible with existing Aico products, including the ground-breaking Ei450 Alarm Controller and Ei414 Fire/CO Alarm Interface.
Aico is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ei Electronics and is the UK market leader in Fire & CO protection. All alarms are designed and built in Europe specifically to meet UK standards and regulations. For more information, please visit www.aico.co.uk/3000series.

Epochal Change: War Over Social And Political Organization, Robert J. Bunker
The United States has been less affected by this process than most other Western nation-states; we seem to prosper despite such challenges. However, the breakdown of the family, increased drug use among our children, the growing specter of gang violence, and other forms of social terrorism suggest that our own institutions are not immune to a degree of chaos. Ralph Peters, in an earlier Parameters article, stated succinctly that we are witnessing "a struggle to redefine human meaning."[3] Regardless of the state of the revolution to which he referred, the struggle he describes is far from ended.

Given the issue's importance—the Army's future as an effective 21st-century warfighting institution—Tofflerian theory attributes that are conceptually flawed should be forcefully acknowledged. With this perspective in mind, I posit that the war forms developed in War and Anti-War, specifically First and Second Wave war, are overgeneralized and distort Western warfare's historical development. As such, the war forms do not significantly further RMA theory and potentially pose a great liability. Still, these terms are becoming accepted by Army scholars because of the Tofflers' great theoretical influence.

Boswellia (Boswellia Serrata) Gum Resin Extract
Boswellia serrata extract attenuates inflammatory mediators and oxidative stress in collagen induced arthritis.
"Boswellia serrata extract attenuates inflammatory mediators and oxidative stress in collagen induced arthritis Umar S, et al. Boswellia serrata extract attenuates inflammatory mediators and oxidative stress in collagen induced arthritis. Phytomedicine. 2014 May 15;21(6):847-56. doi: 10.1016/j.phymed.2014.02.001. Epub 2014 Mar 22. PubMed PMID: 24667331. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease which leads to destruction of joints. Current treatment modalities for RA either produce symptomatic relief (NSAIDs) or modify the disease process (DMARDs). Though effective, their use is also limited by their side effects. As a result, the interest in alternative, well tolerated anti-inflammatory remedies has re-emerged. Our aim was to evaluate the antioxidant and antiarthritic activity of Boswellia serrata gum resin extract (BSE) in collagen induced arthritis. Arthritis was induced in male Wistar rats by collagen induced arthritis (CIA) method. BSE was administered at doses of 100 and 200mg/kg body weight once daily for 21 days. The effects of treatment in the rats were assessed by biochemical (articular elastase, MPO, LPO, GSH, catalase, SOD and NO), inflammatory mediators (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-10, IFN-γ and PGE2), and histological studies in joints. BSE was effective in bringing significant changes on all the parameters (articular elastase, MPO, LPO, GSH, catalase, SOD and NO) studied. Oral administration of BSE resulted in significantly reduced levels of inflammatory mediators (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, IFN-γ and PGE2), and increased level of IL-10. The protective effects of BSE against RA were also evident from the decrease in arthritis scoring and bone histology. The abilities to inhibit proinflammatory cytokines and modulation of antioxidant status suggest that the protective effect of Boswellia serrata extract on arthritis in rats might be mediated via the modulation of immune system."
Five Herbs Plus Thiamine Reduce Pain and Improve Functional Mobility in Patients With Pain: A Pilot Study.
"Five Herbs Plus Thiamine Reduce Pain and Improve Functional Mobility in Patients With Pain: A Pilot Study Hedaya R. Five Herbs Plus Thiamine Reduce Pain and Improve Functional Mobility in Patients With Pain: A Pilot Study. Altern Ther Health Med. 2017 Jan;23(1):14-19. PubMed PMID: 28160759. A clinically significant reduction in perceived pain and improvement in functional mobility had occurred for the intervention group as related to their chronic joint, back, and muscle pain. The complex of 5 herbs, plus vitamin B1, was well tolerated, and the results suggest that the blend should be considered to be a valuable alternative treatment in the management of chronic musculoskeletal pain."
Boswellia Serrata, A Potential Antiinflammatory Agent: An Overview
"Boswellia Serrata, A Potential Antiinflammatory Agent: An Overview Siddiqui MZ. Boswellia Serrata, A Potential Antiinflammatory Agent: An Overview. Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences. 2011;73(3):255-261. doi:10.4103/0250-474X.93507. The resin of Boswellia species has been used as incense in religious and cultural ceremonies and in medicines since time immemorial. Boswellia serrata (Salai/Salai guggul), is a moderate to large sized branching tree of family Burseraceae (Genus Boswellia), grows in dry mountainous regions of India, Northern Africa and Middle East. Oleo gum-resin is tapped from the incision made on the trunk of the tree and is then stored in specially made bamboo basket for removal of oil content and getting the resin solidified. After processing, the gum-resin is then graded according to its flavour, colour, shape and size. In India, the States of Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh are the main source of Boswellia serrata. Regionally, it is also known by different names. The oleo gum-resins contain 30-60% resin, 5-10% essential oils, which are soluble in the organic solvents, and the rest is made up of polysaccharides. Gum-resin extracts of Boswellia serrata have been traditionally used in folk medicine for centuries to treat various chronic inflammatory diseases. The resinous part of Boswellia serrata possesses monoterpenes, diterpenes, triterpenes, tetracyclic triterpenic acids and four major pentacyclic triterpenic acids i.e. β-boswellic acid, acetyl-β-boswellic acid, 11-keto-β-boswellic acid and acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid, responsible for inhibition of pro-inflammatory enzymes. Out of these four boswellic acids, acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid is the most potent inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase, an enzyme responsible for inflammation."
Natural anti-inflammatory agents for pain relief
"Natural anti-inflammatory agents for pain relief Maroon JC, Bost JW, Maroon A. Natural anti-inflammatory agents for pain relief. Surgical Neurology International. 2010;1:80. doi:10.4103/2152-7806.73804. The Boswellia species are trees located in India, Ethiopia, Somalia, and the Arabian Peninsula, and they produce a gum resin called olibanum, better known in the western world as frankincense. This resin possesses anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritic, and analgesic properties. Boswellia can inhibit the leukotriene biosynthesis in neutrophilic granulocytes by inhibiting 5-LOX, thus affecting various inflammatory diseases that are perpetuated by leukotrienes.[95] Clinically, the substance is used in the treatment of degenerative and inflammatory joint disorders. It reduces the total white blood cell count in joint fluid, and it also inhibits leukocyte elastase, which is released in rheumatoid arthritis. In one recent study, a statistically significant improvement in arthritis of the knee was shown after 8 weeks of treatment with 333 mg B. serrata extract taken three times a day. The treatment improved function, but radiographically there was no change in the affected joints.[62]"
Systematic review of herbals as potential anti-inflammatory agents: Recent advances, current clinical status and future perspectives

Pharmacognosy Reviews. 2011;5(10):120-137. doi:10.4103/0973-7847.91102. A combination of Boswellia and curcumin showed superior efficacy and tolerability compared with nonsteroidal diclofenac for treating active osteoarthritis. Boswellia typically is given as an extract standardized to contain 30-40% boswellic acids (300-500 mg two or three times/day). Boswellia has been well tolerated in most studies, although some people may experience stomach discomfort, including nausea, acid reflux, or diarrhea."

Q: Linking an object between 2 classes objective c? I have 2 View Controllers that contain data about an object, which I want to save as a favourite. Both controllers contain the same type of object < Release > which I want to save in a Favourite class.
The Favourite class is fairly simple, it has 3 functions addFavourite, removeFavourite and getFavourites. What I want to accomplish is that both View Controllers can add objects to the Favourite class and get the favouriteObjects array from the Favourite object.
What I tried was making the Favourite class static, like this:
@implementation Favourites
static Favourites * favourites = nil;
-(id)init {
 if(favourites == nil) {
  if((favourites = [super init])) {
   return favourites;
  }
 }
 return favourites;
}
@end

However, everytime I try to add a favourite from one view controller, it doesn't find it in the other. Anyway to solve this?
Yours Faithfully,
Sem Wong.
If you require more information, please ask, I'm new to this place so I'm not sure how much info you guys need :).
Edit:
Thank you guys for the great answers. I'm trying all of them to see what fits me best. What I've got now seems to work well.
Edit 2:
Seems like I can't upvote anything yet hehe :). Thanks Wain and Lithu T.V and Anum90 for the great answers :).

A: Try structuring the favourites class like this:
@implementation Favourites

- (Favourites *)sharedFavourites
{
static dispatch_once_t pred = 0;
__strong static id _sharedObject = nil;
dispatch_once(&pred, ^{
    _sharedObject = [[self alloc] init];
});

return _sharedObject;
}

-(id)init {
self = [super init];

return self;
}

@end

Then all controllers that need access to the favoutires should call [Favourites sharedFavourites] to get the instance (no controller should call init).

A: You may be looking for the singleton instance
How i use it
+(Favourites *)sharedInstance
{
    static Favourites*_sharedClient = nil;
    static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
    dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
        _sharedClient = [[Favourites alloc]init];
    });
    return _sharedClient;

}

you can call it in your classes as
[Favourites sharedInstance];

This will return you an object which is initialised once and return that instance whenever called

A: You need to make Favorites a singleton class, that will return one & same instance all the time. After that , you can access this object from anywhere in your project.
@interface Favourites : NSObject
+(Favourites *)sharedManager;
@end

@implementation Favourites

static Favourites *instance = nil;

+ (Favourites *)sharedManager {

    static dispatch_once_t onceToken;

    dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
        if (instance == nil){
            instance = [[self alloc] init];
        }
    });
    return instance;
}

-(id) init
{
    if ( self = [super init] ) {
    }
    return self;
}

+ (id)allocWithZone:(NSZone *)zone
{
   return [self sharedManager];
}

-(void) addFavorite
{
//Do anything or pass any data by making function with argument
}

@end

Anywhere, you can call it after importing as,
[[Favourites sharedManager] addFavorite];

If you will call Favourite from anywhere and it has been not allocated before, it will automatically call init and allocate you an object. Every next time you call it, it will return same allocated instance.

Roku's direct publisher is a powerful solution, but a common issue that gets reported to us that members add new videos and the channel does not update. There answer is simple. Channels does not usually update for 24 hours, sometimes 48 hours. There are ways to solve this issue.
The reason this may be happening is that Roku has a process called "ingesting" the video data. Ingesting allows Roku to read the new data from your feed and it is not an immediate process. EVery 24 hours, the ingesting process takes place to scan your feed for new data and make changes to the channel accordingly. If you have a Roku device on your TV< you may also see the updates happening as a user. You turn on your TV and see a channel automatically updating or it updates when you run the channel's app. That is because new features of that channel are downloaded onto the user's device.
During the Roku channel/app process, when your channel has not yet been published, you can speed up the ingesting process, but creating a new feed URL and then manually updating the channel. This will allow the new video data to appear on your channel. After your channel has been published, the new video data may appear automatically immediately for users or within 24 to 48 hours.
Log into your Roku developer account and click on Manage My Channels or go directly to https://developer.roku.com/developer-channels/channels.
Scroll down to the channel which you need to update. Click on the icon of that channel.
Enter the new Feed URL.
Click on Feed Status from the main menu.
Click on the Refresh Now button under until you a green checkmark with the number of items ingested.
Click on Preview and Publish from the main menu.
