In today's fast-moving automotive industry, pressures are mounting on global suppliers and service providers to advance key technologies that will satisfy future electric vehicle demands. The industry is demanding higher-performing, more efficient electric motors, and, according to McKinsey's Electric Vehicle Index, global sales of new electric vehicles passed a million units.
Romax Technology is leading a collaborative project to advance the industry's electrification strategy. Romax Technology provide a unique integrated development approach to electro-mechanical drivelines, enabling Right First Time design of the next generation of low noise, efficient and durable electrified drive systems. The project is co-funded by Innovate UK, the UK's innovation agency, and is being carried out in collaboration with Jaguar Land Rover, Dassault Systèmes, GRM Consulting Ltd, the National Physical Laboratory and The University of Sheffield. The project will advance a new innovative electric motor technology and develop specialised analysis tools to support the design of the next generation of electric vehicle drive systems.
As part of current initiatives towards lower emissions, in April 2017, Business Secretary Greg Clark and Transport Minister John Hayes announced £109 million government funding (bolstered by significant industry funding) to go towards 38 projects developing low carbon vehicles and new automotive technology. A subset of these projects is supported by the government's Office for Low Emissions Vehicles (OLEV), which has awarded £16.7 million to seven projects looking specifically at developing technology for ultra-low and zero emission vehicles in the UK.
One of these seven projects, which has itself been awarded £1.87 million, is being led by Romax Technology, in collaboration with Jaguar Land Rover, Dassault Systèmes, GRM Consulting Ltd, the National Physical Laboratory and The University of Sheffield. The project, which started in the first half of 2018, looks to reduce vehicle emissions by developing innovative electric motor technology. Specifically, the work will include development of a novel permanent magnet electrical machine for a passenger vehicle application, and electro-mechanical analysis tools enabling seamless system integration and optimisation of drivetrain system performance (including efficiency, durability, noise, weight and cost).
Romax Technology's Centre of Excellence for Electrification and The Electrical Machines and Drives group at The University of Sheffield are developing the novel permanent magnet motor technology. Three software providers are collaborating to provide a unique capability to optimise a drivetrain structure accounting for both electromagnetic and mechanical aspects. Romax Technology are providing their world-leading software RomaxDESIGNER, Dassault Systèmes are providing their electromagnetic simulation software Opera and GRM are providing their optimisation software.
The National Physical Laboratory is developing new measurement technology in order to provide confidence in unique materials testing and accurate data for the project. Jaguar Land Rover is providing the real-life environments, ensuring project developments target realistic situations.
From OEMs to engineering service providers, integrators and key suppliers to the global automotive sector, the outputs of the project will help the industry to meet future regulations and emissions targets more quickly and whilst facing less risk.

I love the Grateful Dead, they are the best…
August 17, 2018 Kev Brock	Leave a comment
A lot of people can't see it but yes, I am a huge fan of the Grateful Dead. Always have been. I don't know if you'll consider me a true Deadhead or not 'cause what a true Deadhead is a Grateful Dead fan who has owned all of their studio albums, owned a lot of their live albums and has seen them in concert many times. A true Deadhead is someone who owns a lot of the band's merchandise like T-shirts, posters and other types of memorabilia. A true Deadhead is someone who wears tie-dye shirts and looking like a hippie and stuff, ya know? I don't really look like that… but I do consider myself a huge Dead fan if that makes any sense.
I've always had a huge interest in the band. I've had other cousins in my life who were true Deadheads and my interest in the band grew from them. That's how I got turned on into listening to the Grateful Dead 'cause family and friends were obsessive fans. More obsessive than I was.
I bought a few of their albums in the past before and bought a few of their live albums on CD but I either got rid of them or family members borrowed them from me and never gave them back. Thanks for the Ipod and Itunes, I'm now starting to collect all Grateful Dead studio albums. The Grateful Dead has a total of 13 studio albums and so far, I have 9 on my Ipod Touch.
The Grateful Dead studio albums I own by them so far are: "American Beauty", "Anthem of the Sun", "Aoxomoxoa", "Blues For Allah", "Grateful Dead" (self-titled debut), "In the Dark", "Shakedown Street", "Wake of the Flood" and "Workingman's Dead".
The only Grateful Dead albums that I need to get left are: "Built To Last", "Go To Heaven", "Terrapin Station" and "From The Mars Hotel". I'll buy those from Itunes pretty soon.
I have also read a few books on Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia in the past before so my interest in the band is pretty immense. I don't need to look like a hippie and don't need to do drugs to enjoy the music. I listen to them 'cause I enjoy the music. End of story.
My only regret is never being able to see the band live back when Jerry was alive. I still want to get a chance to see the Dead & Company w/ John Mayer, though.
The Grateful Dead are one of my favorite bands in the history of music. Honestly, they're one of reasons I became a musician. Other than Led Zeppelin, the Grateful Dead also helped sparked my interest in guitar playing. They helped sparked my interest in improvisational music 'cause I love improv jams. That's just me.
Yeah, I do love the jam band genre too. I do love the Allman Brothers and I do love Phish too.
Back to the Grateful Dead though, even though the band's been gone for so long since Jerry died, they're still extremely popular, though. We will always love the Grateful Dead and we will never forget the band ever. I guess that's why Bob Weir wanted to bring Grateful Dead music back with the Dead & Company 'cause he knows the fans still love Grateful Dead music after all these years.
The Dead were an amazing band and I'm a huge fan too.
Previous PostRIP Aretha Franklin:1942 – 2018Next PostGreta Van Fleet and Ghost are two of my favorite new bands right now… I love both of them!

Ми́шеві, ми́шачі (Muridae) — найбільша за видовим складом родина гризунів і ссавців загалом; центральна родина у надродині мишуватих (Muroidea). Родина охоплює надзвичайно різноманітний спектр гризунів. Систематичні відносини у середині цієї групи як і з іншими гризунами є надзвичайно важким завданням, яке у жодному разі не вирішене.

Родина містить майже 850 сучасних видів, початковий ареал яких охоплював Євразію, Африку та Австралію. Завдяки впливу людини вони сьогодні поширені по всьому світу.

При широкому трактуванні обсягу родини до її складу (у ранзі окремих підродин) включають також сліпакових, хом'якових, норицевих, піщанкових та деяких інших мишовидих гризунів.

Члени родини можуть бути знайдені на всіх континентах, окрім Антарктиди, і на багатьох океанічних островах. Вони займають різні екосистеми, від сухих пустель до вологих тропічних лісів, від тундри до савани і до помірного рідколісся. Деякі види напівводні; інші живуть під землею; поки інші витрачають все своє життя під пологом тропічного лісу. Їх харчові звички коливаються в межах від істинних всеїдних до фахівців на дощових черв'яках, підземних грибах, навіть водних безхребетних.

Назва і типовий рід
Назва родини походить від її типового роду миша (Mus / Mures у мн.): миш[а] + еві = ми́шеві. Інколи родину називають «мишині», або «мишачі», або мишуваті (остання назва повинна використовуватися лише як назва надродини, на що вказує морфема «-уваті», Muroidea — мишуваті).

Склад родини
 Докладніше у статті Систематика мишей
За останнім виданням «Види ссавців світу» (2005), класифікація родини подається в найширшому із сучасних розумінні, в у склад родини включають акомісів, піщанок та ін. групи; також знижено ранги багатьох родів. Класифікація, згідно з цим виданням, визнає поділ родини мишових на 5 підродин, в межах яких розрізняють 150 родів:

 підродина Deomyinae
 (роди: Acomys, Deomys, Lophuromys, Uranomys)

 підродина Піщанкові — Gerbillinae
 (роди: Ammodillus, Brachiones, Desmodilliscus, Desmodillus, Dipodillus, Gerbilliscus, Gerbillurus, Gerbillus, Meriones, Microdillus, Pachyuromys, Psammomys, Rhombomys, Sekeetamys, Tatera, Taterillus)

 підродина Leimacomyinae
 (роди: Leimacomys)

 підродина Мишеві — Murinae
 (роди: Abditomys, Abeomelomys, Aethomys, Anisomys, Anonymomys, Apodemus (вкл. Sylvaemus), Apomys, Archboldomys, Arvicanthis, Bandicota, Batomys, Berylmys, Bullimus, Bunomys, Carpomys, Chiromyscus, Chiropodomys, Chiruromys, Chrotomys, Coccymys, Colomys, Conilurus, Coryphomys, Crateromys, Cremnomys, Crossomys, Crunomys, Dacnomys, Dasymys, Dephomys, Desmomys, Diomys, Diplothrix, Echiothrix, Eropeplus, Golunda, Grammomys, Hadromys, Haeromys, Hapalomys, Heimyscus, Hybomys, Hydromys, Hylomyscus, Hyomys, Kadarsanomys, Komodomys, Lamottemys, Leggadina, Lemniscomys, Lenomys, Lenothrix, Leopoldamys, Leporillus, Leptomys, Limnomys, Lorentzimys, Macruromys, Madromys, Malacomys, Mallomys, Malpaisomys, Mammelomys, Margaretamys, Mastacomys, Mastomys, Maxomys, Melasmothrix, Melomys, Mesembriomys, Micaelamys, Microhydromys, Micromys, Millardia, Muriculus, Mus, Mylomys, Myomyscus, Nesokia, Nesoromys, Nilopegamys, Niviventer, Notomys, Oenomys, Otomys, Palawanomys, Papagomys, Parahydromys, Paraleptomys, Paramelomys, Parotomys, Paruromys, Paucidentomys, Paulamys, Pelomys, Phloeomys, Pithecheir, Pithecheirops, Pogonomelomys, Pogonomys, Praomys, Protochromys, Pseudohydromys, Pseudomys, Rattus, Rhabdomys, Rhagamys, Rhynchomys, Solomys, Sommeromys, Spelaeomys, Srilankamys, Stenocephalemys, Stochomys, Sundamys, Taeromys, Tarsomys, Tateomys, Thallomys, Thamnomys, Tokudaia, Tryphomys, Uromys, Vandeleuria, Vernaya, Xenuromys, Xeromys, Zelotomys, Zyzomys)

 За класифікацією у праці І. Павлінова з кол. (1995), ця найбільша за числом видів підродина може бути поділена на кілька триб:
 1) група «Micromys» — роди Pithecheir, Batomys, та секція Micromys;
 2) група «Apodemus» — роди Apodemus, Tokudaia, та секція Mus;
 3) група «Arvicanthis»;
 4) група Rattus — роди Rattus, Dacnomys, Praomys, та секція Uromys;
 5) група «Phloeomys»;
 6) група Rhynchomys — Chrotomys та секція Rhynchomys;
 7) Murinae incertae sedis — Crunomys, Nesokia, Melasmothrix, та секція Hydromys.

 підродина Lophiomyinae
 єдиний рід Lophiomys і єдиний вид Lophiomys imhausi.

To all our friends who will be attending the 2014 Nonprofit Technology Conference, We were really looking forward to seeing you, but unfortunately, some last-minute, unavoidable circumstances are preventing us from attending. We wish you all a great conference, and hope to have some great news to share with you soon!
The Oscars broke Twitter this past Sunday, as Ellen took the "selfie heard 'round the world" (or at least the selfie that ended up being the most-retweeted image of all time).
Our friend John Haydon shared this slide deck on Twitter, and I thought it was fantastic and everybody should see it. Check it out.
Yesterday, Beth Kanter shared a fantastic series of resources on Facebook, and I wanted to pass it along here.


Here's a sample of our awesome friendship bracelets! Online video tutorials taught us several different platting techniques and, although it was tricky in the beginning, we soon became experts! We're so happy with how they turned out, we're considering creating a mini-business to make and sell bracelets to other girls in the school. If we go ahead with our idea, we'll donate any money raised to a local charity.

New points scoring system revealed in 2015 National Sporting Code
Local Rallies, Motor Sports, Rally
March 3, 2015 – The Automobile & Touring Club of Lebanon (ATCL) has published the official new Sporting Code for the 2015 Lebanese motorsport season today.
The most notable change this year is an overhaul of the points system in the Rally, Hill Climb and Speed Test championships. Last year, the top 6 drivers in all three championships were awarded 30-25-22-20-18-16 points respectively. However, the system has changed to 25-23-21-19-17-15 for 2015. Drivers in seventh place to 20th place will earn points in the following manner: 14-13-12-11-10-9-8-7-6-4-3-2-1.
Additionally, the top 5 finishers in the class classifications in all three championships (Rally, Hill Climb, Speed Test) now earn points in the following form: 5-4-3-2-1 points, whereas only the top 3 drivers were awarded with points last year (5-3-1 pts).
The new Sporting Code mentions that drivers competing in the Lebanese Rally Championship on FIA homologated cars will also score points by participating in the Lebanese Hill Climb Championship. However, only the best two results will count in case of several Hill Climb participations. Scored points will be awarded in accordance with the aforementioned points system.

Andrew Bogut visits Sydney Kings, Joel Przybilla still interested in Milwaukee homecoming
By Frank Madden Sep 13, 2011, 5:20pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: Andrew Bogut visits Sydney Kings, Joel Przybilla still interested in Milwaukee homecoming
Fox Sports Australia: Bogut sees 'huge chance' to play for Sydney Kings (via Zach Lowe)
Andrew Bogut's desire to play in his native Australia looks to be getting increasingly serious. Bogut traveled to Sydney on Monday to meet with the Kings' brass, with the hopes of making a final decision on his lockout future once an insurance plan is finalized.
"It is obviously a unique market and the Kings are an icon brand here in Sydney, so Sydney's definitely a huge chance," Bogut said after meeting Kings general manager David Wolf and the board.
Bogut will also have conference calls later this week with the Adelaide 36ers and Gold Coast Blaze, though the general sense seems to be that Sydney are now in the driver's seat while Perth is no longer an option. The NBL begins league play in early October, right around when the NBA's training camps would otherwise be starting up. Michael Jordan could not be reached for comment, but I'm sure he'd approve.
Woelfel: Joel Przybilla still interested in returning to Milwaukee
As first noted by BUCKS over in the FanPosts, Gery Woelfel is once again touting Joel Przybilla's interest in returning to Milwaukee next season. Woelfel mentioned this a couple times last season as well, so the idea isn't new, but it's always nice to hear about NBA players wanting to come to Wisconsin, isn't it?
"Milwaukee will be one of my top teams, definitely,'' Przybilla said in a telephone interview. "For me, Milwaukee is home. For me, the biggest thing in my life is my family and I think this where we'll probably spend the rest of our lives.''
Przybilla's wife, Noelle, is from Big Bend, just outside of Milwaukee, and has many family and friends residing in the area.
A healthy Przybilla's shot-blocking and tremendous rebounding skills would be a welcome addition to most any NBA squad, and the size-starved Bucks are certainly no exception. No offense to Jon Brockman, Larry Sanders or Drew Gooden, but it'd be nice to rely on a real center to back up Andrew Bogut, wouldn't it? The tough part is in that whole "healthy" piece. After playing in all 82 games in 08/09, Przybilla has been plagued by right knee issues the past two seasons, though he claims to be close to returning to full strength. Let's hope that's the case.
Eurobasket 2011: No Olympics for Ersan Ilyasova and Turkey
Turkey will once again miss out on Olympic basketball following a heart-breaking 68-67 loss to Serbia at the Eurobasket. Ersan Ilyasova (10 pts, 3/10 fg, 3/7 threes, 7 rebs) had a chance to win it in the waning seconds, but his difficult 18-foot fadeaway bounced off the rim, sending the Turks home empty-handed.
It's a bitter pill for Turkey, which last summer fell just a game short of World Championship gold, about as good as they could have hoped in a tournament that also featured the likes of Kevin Durant and Team USA. It's not surprising then that big things were expected of Turkey at this year's European Championships, particularly with Enes Kanter joining an already formidable roster that included Ilyasova, Hedo Turkoglu, and Omer Asik.
FIBA Americas: Carlos Delfino and the Golden Generation claim gold
A day after clinching a spot in London with a semifinal win over the Dominican Republic, Argentina wrapped up the FIBA Americas tournament in style, defeating arch-rivals Brazil 80-75 in front of a raucous home crowd in Mar del Plata. As expected, Argentina's "Golden Generation" once again got the job done: Luis Scola was again the star for the hosts (32 points on 18 shots) while Carlos Delfino scored 16 points on nine shots along with nine boards.
I am a GM: Impact Vegas rosters released
Stephen Jackson will be arriving on Wednesday to join Team B in the Impact Basketball Competitive Training series in Las Vegas. Jackson is still the only Buck confirmed to play in the so-called lockout league, though his team will also include former Homestead High standout Coby Karl.
SBN: Brandon Jennings #37 in top 99 players of 2015
Tom Ziller, Mike Prada and Andrew Sharp debate Jennings' future in their fun series on the future stars of the NBA.
In other Jennings news, while he hasn't been in any danger of being underexposed this summer, I have to say Under Armour's video series on him has been really well done (see Episode 4 above).
SBN: Chris Douglas-Roberts Signs With Virtus Bologna During NBA Lockout
A week after reports surfaced of Virtus Bologna making bids for Carlos Delfino and Manu Ginobili, the Italian team has apparently settled on former Buck Chris Douglas-Roberts as a fall-back option. CD-R would have been a restricted free agent if the Bucks had made him a qualifying offer before June 30, but the third year wing had fallen out of favor with Scott Skiles toward the end of the season and there was no sense that the Bucks were interested in re-signing the former Memphis star. Instead, the unrestricted free agent is heading to Italy for the full season, having signed a deal that does not include an out clause should the lockout be resolved.

In January, Black Sabbath will make its triumphant return to North America to launch their highly anticipated "The End" final tour. That same month, the greatest metal band of all time will also release deluxe editions of its first three studio albums - Black Sabbath, Paranoid, Master of Reality.
Each deluxe edition includes the 2012 remaster of the original album, available on CD for the first time, along with a second disc of outtakes that are previously unreleased in North America. All three albums will available January 22 as 2-CD ($19.98) and 2-LP ($31.98) sets.
Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward made their debut as Black Sabbath in 1970 with the band's self-titled album. The new deluxe edition of Black Sabbath includes studio outtakes from the 1969 sessions for the album, including alternate versions of "Black Sabbath" and "N.I.B.," as well two versions of the UK single "Evil Woman (Don't Play Games With Me)."
The same year that Sabbath's debut arrived, the band released its follow-up Paranoid. This metal masterpiece has gone on to be certified 4x platinum. The deluxe edition features phenomenal instrumental takes on "War Pigs," "Iron Man" and more, along with versions of "Paranoid" and "Planet Caravan" with alternate lyrics.
The group's third album, Master of Reality, arrived in 1971 and introduced fans to essential Sabbath tracks like "Sweet Leaf" and "Into The Void." The deluxe edition builds on that legendary album with versions of "Children Of The Grave" and "Sweet Leaf" that have different lyrics. There is also an instrumental version of "After Forever" and an outtake for "Solitude" that features an alternative guitar tuning.
These deluxe editions and massive world tour mark "The End" for Black Sabbath, as the band writes the final chapter in its incredible story. But don't expect the band to go quietly. The 2016 farewell tour promises to surpass all previous tours and will feature the band's most mesmerizing production ever.
The live collection Past Lives, originally released in 2002 but long out-of-print, will also be reissued as 2-CD and 2-LP sets on the same date. It features performances recorded between 1970 and 1975 - when the band was at the height of its dark powers - and includes phenomenal live versions of essential tracks like "War Pigs," "Paranoid," "Snowblind" and "N.I.B."

PARANOID: SUPER DELUXE EDITION includes the 2012 remaster of the original album, in addition to a rare 1974 quad mix of the album folded down to stereo, plus two concerts from 1970, from Montreux and Brussels.
The Led Zeppelin reissue campaign continues in 2015.
Wilco continues to make excellent records and play shows that stir the soul, but the group invented the terrain it continues to explore more than 20 years ago with its first two albums - A.M. (1995) and Being There (1996).
Now a stoner-rock staple, Black Mountain's debut channeled Sabbath, Velvet Underground, and German krautrock into a raw Pacific Northwest attic sound, and Matt Camirand had everything to do with it.


Counterflow wort chillers are one of the best options for chiller your homebrew wort down quickly. They feature a tube-in-tube design, where cold water flows through the outer tube in one direction, while hot wort flows through a twisted inner copper tube in the opposite direction. The ZChiller brand utilizes the enhanced thermal gradients of a counterflow wort chiller with the added benefit of greater surface area for heat transfer. Instead of a simple, cylindrical inner tube, the Z Chiller utilizes a unique, convoluted "spiral star" design that enables superior heat transfer out of the wort as well as unparalleled cooling uniformity for consistent cold breaks and record cooling times. The chilling ability matches or exceeds that of plate chillers without the downside of disruptive clogs.

Why should travel bloggers join an affiliate program?
After using the basic travel affiliate programs for awhile and being frustrated with the commission rates, we decided to take another approach to it.
As a niche specific blog, and in this case a destination specific blog, we decided to talk to the companies and businesses themselves to see if they would be willing to set up an affiliate agreement with us.
By doing so, we were able to increase our commissions up to 5 times or more on one sale, establish a personal relationship with businesses, strengthen our authority of our niche and give our readers a better value.
Creating this kind of affiliate agreement isn't as difficult as people may think. The difference is that there are a couple steps you have to do manually, you need to use various promotion methods and it takes more effort.
But you will see that the rewards are completely worth it!
So now let's go over the steps to set it up.
The first thing you need to do is pick which products and services that fit your blog. How do you do this?
It's pretty simple. There's several ways to know what your readers are looking for and you should already have a good idea for a niche specific blog.
Ask yourself these questions: what do readers contact you for? what are readers looking for on your blog?
You can find the answers by using tools like Google Analytics that tell you what your tops posts are or what keywords lead people to your blog. You can find yours by going to your Google Analytics account and looking under Behavior > Content > All pages for top posts.
In our case, our 50 things to do in Costa Rica article is our most popular post meaning people are interested in finding out what are the best activities or tours to do.
You can also survey your readers which gives you the most accurate information without a lot of work on your end. Send an email to your mailing list subscribers or post on social media, asking your readers what they're looking for and how you can help them.
Take this knowledge to find businesses and companies that will answer your reader's needs which leads you to step 2, pitching those businesses to work with you.
So now that you know which businesses and companies you want to work with, it's time to contact them. The important thing is to emphasize why you would be a great fit for their business and vice versa.
Remember, quality over quantity when it comes to traffic. It's great to have big numbers to show but it's better to have 5000 readers who know what they're looking for than 10,000 who visit your blog once and never come back because they have no idea. Show the business that you have authority in your niche and that you have influence by tying all the factors above together.
Congratulations! You've successfully pitched the company. Now it's onto the next step to negotiate the terms of your partnership.
Keep in mind that everything you negotiate must help you stand out from the rest of your competition.
One way to do this is to secure a discount for the product you're offering and although it sounds backwards, you can do this by giving away part of your commission.
On average, businesses give around 20-25% commission in the travel industry to the seller but you can keep 15% for yourself and let the reader have a 10% discount.
For example, let's say a hotel room costs $100 and they give $25 commission to whoever sells the room. Instead of making $25, you keep $15 and give the reader 10% off the room. But why should you be giving away money?
If you give away $10-15 of your commission and give it to the readers as a discount, you can promote this as an exclusive deal. Now your offer becomes more attractive to readers and increases your chances of them purchasing through you.
You are still making more money than the 3% with the normal affiliate programs and depending on your relationship with the business, you can negotiate extra benefits if possible to give more to your reader.
Another important aspect of the business agreement is separating out customer service responsibilities and billing. This is up to you and the business and you can figure out how to handle it as it is different for every situation.
Now that we've finalized our agreement, it's time to integrate it into your blog and promote it. The easiest way is to write blog posts about it and link it in relevant existing articles.
Now that you've made the agreement and started promoting it on the blog, you also need to figure out how to track your sales.
Going back to the negotiation part, you have to choose the right business to work with and feel comfortable working with them. You need to have solid and open communication because tracking sales it is one of the most important aspects of the blogger and company relationship.
The perfect scenario would be if the company already has their own affiliate software or to encourage the company to get one but not all businesses want to do this. And if they don't, you need to come up with another method.
One of the methods we use is the classic contact form where you can set it up so that all the parties receive an automatic email: the client, us and the company. You can do this by using free plugins such as Contact Form 7 or you can upgrade to the paid versions such as Ninja Forms or Gravity Forms.
By using this method, you will get notice that a reader wants to purchase something from your blog and that the business has been notified already.
From that point on and according to your agreement, the company will have to confirm the reservation to the reader or you will have to contact the company. It depends on the agreement you made.
In our position, we always let the company contact the client since they can give better and faster information.
The second way we do this is by using my favorite tool LeadPages which is a must if you want to take your blog to the next business level.
Here is screen shot of one of the forms we use and the notification we receive every time someone opt-ins. You can click here to find out more about this excellent tool.
The process is pretty much the same as the contact for but in this case, your reader will fill out a form which is actually an opt in form that you can set up using a lead generation software.
By doing this you will get an email notification that someone wants to purchase something and at the same time, you can add them to different email subscriber lists which is another part of the affiliate system.
These are two easy ways to track the sales and it will require follow ups and constant communication with the business. It's recommended to keep a record of every lead so you can keep track as well.
This is the most important part if you want to make money with any affiliate program you use on your blog.
Through the affiliate system you set up, you will be able to keep the clients email like I mentioned earlier. Now I am going to show you some of the things you can do with this information in your affiliate system cycle to make more sales and build a reader relationship.
Let's go back to the renting a car example. Think about the readers profile. Obviously they are planning on driving around the country so just by knowing this, you can use this little bit of information to build a relationship.
Going back to Lead Pages and the email subscriber list, once your readers opt-ins you can then separate him into a dedicated email sequence you created for this type of reader.
For the person renting a car, you can create an automated email sequence full of quality information to help your reader. As soon as you develop this relationship, you can begin to add affiliate links and promote other relevant products which equals more sales.
In order to do this, you need to sign up for a email marketing tool that allows you to create different lists, keep track of open rates and automate email sequences.
Any person that makes money online knows that the money is in your subscribers list and this is a necessary tool to have. There are many tools out there but if you're serious about making money from your blog, we recommend a paid tool such as Aweber.
Another example is if someone is booking a family hotel, you know they are looking for family friendly activities. If you happen to offer tours in your affiliate system that are family friendly, you can include them in your email sequence.
This creates more opportunities for sales from the same client and furthers your relationship with them. Remember it's important to continually tweak your email sequence to see what works better for your audience.
That being said, here is a flow chart of the complete affiliate system working in your niche.
It's the same concept as affiliate marketing: someone clicks on your affiliate link, buys something you make money. However, with this concept you will be able to keep their email address and add them to your various email sequences to grow your reader relationship and promote other products.
Having an email marketing software is a must nowadays and I highly recommend you to get one and start building your list. I know there are free versions but premium services offer extra features that will help take your business to the next level.
If you need some tips on how to get started with creating email sequences, follow these steps below.
1) Go to Aweber or any other company and set up an account, with Aweber you can open it for $1 the first month.
2) Once you have your account ready, click on Create a list. Fill out all the information required and don't forget to set up a thank you email (readers love this).
3) Click on Messages and then Follow Up Series.
4) Click on Create a message and start creating your emails.
As for when to send your messages, that is up to you but there are many resources that offer insight into the best time to send emails.
I hope that you learned a little bit more about affiliate marketing, how to implement it in your travel blog and how you can take it one step further for niche specific blogs.

Great stuff, Yeison! I just have the impression that the contact form system would be much easier?
That way, you can still create fields for all the info you need, you'd be contacted and the company would be contacted. You could always save the emails in an excel and contact the people later with the question if they'd like more info for their trip and if they want to be signed up.
With the email optin option, you do have the advantage of collecting their emails immediately, but you're not supposed to use them until they've confirmed their subscription, right? I wouldn't feel comfortable starting to email people who just wanted to buy something. Plus, you only get a notification that someone signed up for a specific list, so you would still have to transfer that data to the company you work with.
Have you guys ever looked into using something like ejunkie?
I haven't try ejunkie yet, There is never a 100% guarantee if you will get a commission to refer a sale with a real affiliate system, you will never know if your reader is blocking their cookies or after they read your article they clicked on another person link and now you will not get the commission, there are many things that can go wrong and we will never know. I just do this with business that I trust and have a business relation because they are on my "travel niche" so they are easy to track and talk, most of the times the client get back to us and tell us how wonderful their experience was or if something was not ok. Also in the email sequence we set up we scheduled an email where we ask our reader how was their experience.
I know it takes more work but it is worth the extra work for the significant increase on the commission.
With the contact form you are right, I have to do more manual work but it's working for now and the truth it takes less than a minute to send the info to a client and invite them to confirm their subscription.
With email opt-in option the reader will receive an automate "Confirm your subscription" email (Double Opt-in). I will not be able to send them any emails without them clicking on the confirmation link and based on my experience 99% of the times the reader confirm the subscription. And remember we don't send emails to make them buy things we send them quality information that might have some recommendations to buy items or services but the main priority is to provide them with quality info.
Thanks for the elaborate reply!
I wasn't criticizing about the email optin:) I'm just worried that confirming the subscription would be an extra hurdle for people. I think I'll go with the extra work so that I can manually invite them to join the email list (as I also have a follow-up with useful content in mind).
One last thing: when you use leadpages, do you let them know when they make their reservation that by submitting their info their also subscribing?
When a reader fills out the LeadPage form it doesn't mean that they will be included in my subscribers list automatically, they reader will get an email from my email marketing company (Aweber in my case) asking if they want to join the list. This happen because I use double opt-in.
With the contact form method you will have to add them manually and the reader will still receive a confirmation email. In both cases the client will need to confirm the subscription, based on my numbers most of the people confirm because they want to know more about the country and they already trust me.
I like leadPages for many reasons, I save lots of time, I automate the process, I dont have to be adding people manually and I just get notifications when somebody wants to buy something. I also use LeadPages for other projects that I am involve in other sites and it works very well, is not cheap but it's worth it.
You can always avoid the confirmation email by using single opt-in, but I personally like double.

Can HIPAA Compliance Derail your Healthcare Website or Digital Health App?
Worried about HIPAA compliance for your healthcare website or digital health app?
Consider a class action privacy lawsuit that came—and went—against MDLive.
MDLive received a class-action lawsuit alleging the MDLive did not protect patients' protected health information. The lawsuit sought $5 million in damages.
In a nutshell, the complaint alleged that MDLive took screenshots of information entered by patients into the MDLive app and "covertly," without notifying patients, shared these screenshots with TestFairy, an Israeli technology company that tracks user experiences and locates and reports on potential bugs inside the app.
The lawsuit apparently resolved with any paid settlement to the plaintiffs.
MDLive's response, in Setting the Record Straight, was that:
There was no data breach.
MDLive complies with "all applicable privacy laws and regulations."
No data was shared with unauthorized third parties.
TestFairy has no access to patient information that arises from patient-physician consultations.
Importantly, the Fact Sheet provides explains the way MDLive does share information with third parties:
"Authorized third parties are bound by contractual obligations and applicable laws to keep personal information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them."
"Our privacy policy tells members who register that we may disclose their personal information to contracted third parties we use to support our business, such as the use of the TestFairy tool."
This suggests several takeaways:
If a company claims HIPAA compliance, then the company should be sure to have in place not only a Privacy Policy, but also all the policies, procedures and forms required under HIPAA, as well as other planks of HIPAA compliance such as HIPAA training for all the workforce, and appointment of HIPAA Privacy and Security Officials.
Policies and procedures with respect to data breaches should also be in place, including policies with respect to disciplining employees responsible for sharing unauthorized PHI (protected health information) or other data breaches.
The Privacy Policy should contain language allowing the company to disclose personal information to contracted third-parties that the company uses to support its business operations.
To the extent that third parties would be considered Business Associates or subcontractors of the company under HIPAA, the company should have executed Business Associate agreements under which such third parties agree to abide by HIPAA.
It was probably beneficial to MDLive that the information at issue did not involve patient information from patient-physician consultations, and presumably was only shared for the purpose of facilitating testing of the app.
A cardinal principle of HIPAA is that only the minimum necessary information should be disclosed to accomplish the intended purpose of the disclosure.
There's no doubt that HIPAA is dangerous territory for any digital health, mobile health, telemedicine, or patient software company.
Even if HIPAA doesn't apply, anyone who claims they are HIPAA compliant now has obligations under HIPAA. And state laws pertaining to the privacy and security of protected health information (PHI) also will come into play.

The Saskatoon Blades finished up their longest road trip of the season in style on Saturday night with a thrilling 5-4 overtime win over the Kelowna Rockets. The Blades will come home with a 3-1-1-0 record on the road trip and 17-9-3-0 overall on the season.
Saskatoon got out to a hot start in the opening period with a pair of goals from Gary Haden (7) and Tristen Robins (4). Nolan Maier stopped all 10 shots faced in the first period to keep his club up 2-0 at the first break.
Dawson Davidson (5) increased the lead to 3-0 with a power play marker early in the second period. Finally fans at Prospera Place in Kelowna were able to toss their Teddy Bears as Mark Liwiski followed up on a rebound to get the Rockets on the board 10:29 into the middle frame.
Brandon Schuldhaus (3) gave the Blades a 4-2 lead thanks to a power play goal in the third period but three goals from the Rockets forced an extra period.
Dawson Davidson took a pass from Gary Haden in his own end and burst down the ice for a clear breakaway to score his 2nd of the game, 6th of the season, winning the game for the Blades just 23 seconds into overtime.
Saskatoon's power play went 2/4 and the penalty kill was perfect at 4/4.
Seemed to be when the Rockets scored less than a minute after Brandon Schuldhaus' goal to make it 4-3, giving them enough momentum to tie the game and force overtime. However, the Blades still managed to earn the victory.
Dawson Davidson had 2 goals including the overtime winner, was a +3, and had 6 shots on goal.
Gary Haden had a goal and an assist, a +2 rating and 5 shots on goal.
Nolan Maier stopped 29/33 shots faced and went 4/4 on the penalty kill to earn his 14th win of the season.
Kirby Dach played in his 100th career WHL game.
Dawson Davidson snapped a 17 game goal-less drought, and he did it with an exclamation point!
Kristian Roykas-Marthinsen extended his point streak to three games (1G-2A).
Tristen Robins scored his 4th goal of the season and had an impressive night on the forecheck drawing 2 penalties.
The Blades head home to host the Moose Jaw Warriors on Friday night at SaskTel Centre at 7:00pm. Saskatoon's annual Teddy Bear Toss game goes on Sunday, December 9th at 4:00pm versus the Prince Albert Raiders.

LongAndWastedYear
listening to bob dylan – one week at a time
I'm linking below to a YouTube video that has, inexplicably to me, not been taken down. It's almost two hours of Dylan and The Band playing in Largo, MD on January 15, 1974 (misidentified as Landover by the uploader). It's a crowd recording – you can hear people talking about Robbie Robertson before the first chords of "You Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine)". Quality is so-so, but it's a good show and it gives you a strong sense of how the 1974 tour sounded in its early stages. Dylan played "Wedding Song" at this show (1:13:45), the third time he's ever play it (he only did so nine times in his life, so it's pretty rare). This was also the last time on that tour that he played "I Don't Believe You (She Just Acts Like We Never Have Met)", which is too bad because I quite like it (starts at 14:20).
I've really enjoyed listening to this tour all week – it has completely reinvigorated my enthusiasm for this project, which was never really flagging anyway. The tour has some problems, but it is the arrival of a Dylan sound that I really liked and would have liked to have seen continued even longer. Some shows, obviously, are better than others, and it does tail off a bit at the end. I think that this Largo show is quite good – it is still early enough in the tour that the songs don't sound over-rehearsed. Dylan powers his way through a lot of the material during a lot of these shows. While he had played very large venues in the past (Isle of Wight, Madison Square Garden for the Concert for Bangladesh) this was still something of a new experience for him. In 1966 he played venues for a few thousand at the most, and here he was playing a lot of arenas. The shows called for power over nuance. A lot of this was technologically dictated – amplification being what it was, and hockey arenas being what they are acoustically – the ability to shape sound in those spaces forty years ago left a lot to be desired (often they still do – the last time I saw Dylan live at the Saddledome in Calgary I thought the sound was terrible, but that's typical of the Saddledome).
Before the Flood isn't necessarily the ideal record of the 1974 tour, but it is a very good one. Recorded primarily at the Los Angeles dates at the end of the tour, it may illustrate a certain road-weariness. Dylan is in full yelling mode on a lot of the songs, but the sound mix is really good and the band is very tight. The double-album gives eight tracks to The Band and thirteen to Dylan (most with The Band). It is a genuine collaboration, much as Planet Waves was (which is credited on the cover as Bob Dylan/The Band). It would have been interesting to see where that relationship might have gone had The Band stayed together longer than they did.
As there is a certain sameness to a lot of the tour, I don't feel a need to track down every bootleg ever (though they are out there). What I would like ideally would be a tour collection that has a good version of every song that he played on the tour (just around fifty), but I'd likely have to curate that myself. Songs like "Hattie Carroll", "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" and "Song to Woody" were played only twice on the whole tour. "To Ramona", "Desolation Row", and "Mr Tambourine Man" were played only once.
The big four songs – played at all forty shows – were "Lay Lady Lay", "All Along the Watchtower", "Ballad of a Thin Man", and "Like a Rolling Stone". "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" and "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues" were played 39 times each. For some reason "Just Like Tom Thumb" doesn't end up on Before the Flood, which is a disappointment.
Overall, great tour, and pretty great album. We're well into the peak Dylan phase. By the way, the proximity of Washington makes the "even the president" pop (1:25:10) exceptionally large in the video below.


I Love You Ten Million Times is about a married couple - Baek Jae Hoon (Ryu Jin) and Lee Sun Young (Go Eun-mi) - that desperately want to have a baby but can't. They turn to Go Eun Nim (Lee Soo Kyung) who becomes their surrogate mother but she ends up being involved with Baek Kang Ho (Jung Gyu Woon), Baek Jae Hoon's younger brother. The married couple have further problems - and her name is Hong Yeon Hee (Lee Shi Young) - a woman who works with and wants Baek Jae Hoon. Other characters include Go Eun Nim's relative Oh Nam Jung (Park Soo Jin) who is determined to become a rich man's wife but is constantly irritated by Lee Chul (Kim Hee-chul), a restaurant delivery boy, who has fallen in love with her at first sight.

Rudy Giuliani, Recently The Attorney For The President Of The United States, Did Not Realize That He Put On Two Watches When He Got Dressed This Morning
Rudy Giuliani is finding himself in court so often these days that he's having problems remembering how to dress for trial, apparently
The former attorney for Donald Trump has been dragged through legal proceedings all year thanks to his efforts to overturn the 2020 Presidential Election. He's currently facing billion-dollar defamation suits from voting tech companies, a Department of Justice investigation, and a grand jury case in Georgia. He's also had his license to practice suspended in New York. On the heels of all that, he's currently in the hot seat thanks to a lawsuit he filed in Pennsylvania, shortly after the election results were certified, that requested hundreds of thousands of ballots be discarded despite zero evidence of voter fraud. And the near constant reminder that there are, in fact, consequences for his actions has got rowdy Rudy a bit rattled.
On Monday morning, Giuliani sat for the first day in what may be a week-long disciplinary hearing to determine his ability to practice law in the D.C. area. The trial is specifically referencing Giuliani's unethical behavior in filing the Pennsylvania lawsuit. And, while the former New York City mayor made a fool of himself on the stand by spouting ridiculous claims that he was being persecuted by the federal government, his biggest gaffe happened when his mic was turned off. Or, so he thought.
Before both sides took a midday recess, Giuliani, believing his mic was muted, turned to his defense council to laugh at himself for wearing accidentally putting on two watches when he was getting ready for the trial that morning. He even flashed a glimpse of his watched-up wrist before realizing his mic was still on and looking visibly embarrassed.
At the conclusion of the morning session of his Bar disciplinary hearing, Rudy tells his lawyer on a hot mic that he mistakenly put two watches on today. pic.twitter.com/v1SJGdVtZt

Now, we've all had a wardrobe mishap before, but that normally comes in the form of mismatching socks, not stacking our arms to high-heaven with fake Rolexes. Did he not notice the extra weight, or is he so deep down his own conspiracy theory rabbit hole that he thinks the first watch might be telling time based on a "deep state" Democratic agenda so he has to check against a different one?

An evaluation of two restorative practices on measures of moral disengagement, empathy and forgiveness among incarcerated male juvenile offenders.
Source: (2010) Dissertation. Doctor of Philosophy. TUI University.
This study examined the relationship of two independent variables on attitudes of moral disengagement of male juvenile offenders. The independent variables included living unit grouping and attendance in optional programming of male juvenile offenders incarcerated in a Midwest facility. Research indicates that punitive practices alone have limited success in rehabilitating criminal offenders. Restorative justice characterizes a more holistic option for addressing deviant behavior by accentuating reintegration rather than segregation for offenders. Restorative justice focuses on transformative practices that hold offenders accountable for making the necessary amends for the harm caused by their transgressions to all those influenced by the incident. The archived data used in this study was collected from 142 male juvenile offenders using the following four instruments: the Davis Interpersonal Reactivity Index, the Heartland Forgiveness Scale, the Need Satisfaction Schedule II, and the Mechanisms of Moral Disengagement. The original purpose for the collection of this data was to create evidenced based analysis of program interventions used within this facility and within this state. As explained in the approval letter in Appendix B, ―We were intrigued with his hypotheses and allowed him to use data collected by our agency. The primary purpose of this study was to measure whether living unit grouping and optional program attendance affect the moral disengagement attitudes of incarcerated juvenile males. A secondary purpose of this study was to measure whether attitudes of empathy and forgiveness cause mediating effects on moral disengagement.

Fashion Is Dead, Long Live MerchTainment™
1 year ago in StyleWords By Thom Bettridge
Last night, I went to an event that didn't have a name. It was a "fashion show," a "presentation," or often just an "event." The official invite said "Summer 22 Red Carpet," but the majority of those in attendance dubbed it "The Balenciaga Thing."
When I arrived, there was a red carpet encampment that glowed like a 4k resolution screen in the middle of a rainy Parisian evening. Through the throngs of the curious and the paparazzi, guests were ushered across a step-and-repeat in front of a gang of DSLR-toting cameramen.
Inside is when they let you in on the joke: that the theater in which The Balenciaga Thing was taking place was actually a viewing room for the real show outside. Spectators watched as their friends and peers walked across the carpet, mostly unaware of the charade.
Then came the Balenciaga looks, worn by models, celebrities, Balenciaga staffers, and members of the European cognizanti, who all entered through the carpet like everyone else.
Cardi B and Offset arrived as ambassadors of the House of Atlanta, Dev Hynes and Ella Emhof from the House of Dimes, Naomi Campbell and Juergen Teller from House of 90s Fashion, as well as Anne Imhof and Karen Boros from House of German Art World.
Then, of course, there were the regular Balenciaga models that we've come to recognize like characters on a reality show. As they appeared on screen, the crowd cheered them on, until they entered the building and sat amongst our ranks. The energy in the room felt like a high school graduation ceremony.
A post shared by HIGHSNOBIETY (@highsnobiety)
But it was only when everyone was tucked inside that the real headline-making moment of The Balenciaga Thing happened. The red carpet live stream cut and queued up a special episode of The Simpsons made in collaboration with the brand. It had everything anyone could have asked for: bumbling Simpsons in Paris on the hunt for KFC, vampire-like fashion world operatives, and Smithers finally making it to models.com.
As I watched the whole thing unfold, I couldn't help but be reminded of The Telfar Thing in New York about two weeks ago. There, attendees entered to the soundtrack of Gil Scott Heron's "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" and were treated to a theatrical press conference by designer Telfar Clemens and his brain trust.
The gathering announced the launch of Telfar TV, a new live streaming channel through which the brand would begin hosting not only content, but its biggest drops. When asked at The Telfar Thing whether the channel would be the beginning of a media empire, its creative director Babak Radboy replied: "This is the end of a media empire." Days later, art-school grads around the world were scanning QR codes on Telfar TV to cop the brand's new it-bag.
The thing about events with no name is that they are usually a sign that we are entering a new era, one that the old era does not have the vocabulary for yet. Jazz, Social Media, Pop Art, Punk, and Reality Television all started happening before critics figured out what to call them. And if it's the job of writers to figure out how to name these things, then let's start right here. What we saw this past month at The Balenciaga Thing and The Telfar Thing is the season when Fashion became MerchTainment.
If what MerchTainment is feels fuzzy, allow me to unpack things a bit. MerchTainment is Kim Kardashian wearing Balenciaga bondage gear to her ex-husband's Balenciaga-styled listening event, and spinning that same outfit into an undisputed win at the Met Gala red carpet. The Met Gala itself might be MerchTainment's patient zero.

MerchTainment is the brand Instagram you actually like. Philipp Plein even knows how to make MerchTainment. Lil Nas X might have just mastered it. And Moncler and Alicia Keys know exactly what we're talking about.
MerchTainment might be actually anything affiliated with Kanye West, Olympian God of both the music and merch industries, and if all goes to plan with Gap, that might be the moment when the whole world subscribes. MerchTainment is the fashion industry swallowing entertainment whole, at a time when no one could care less about a Grammy or an Oscar, and when many teenagers can name more creative directors than film directors. MerchTainment is how fashion spilled out of its designated weeks and into a year-round spectacle where consumers follow brands as much as they buy things from them.
In Highsnobiety research we've done about Gen Z and Millennial luxury consumers in partnership with Boston Consulting Group, we've learned that early adopters make their purchase decisions in the inspiration phase rather than later on in their customer journey. To put it in non-marketing-speak: no one walks into a department store and says "Gee, that Balenciaga is really cool, I want some," they form that relationship over months on Instagram, in the pages of magazines, and by getting blown away by levitating Kanyes and branded Simpsons episodes.
As our Editorial Director Christopher Morency aptly wrote last year, modern brands aren't companies, they're universes, and those universes are composed of MerchTainment.
When the world went into lockdown, and brands began making films and lookbooks instead of runway shows, it felt like an industry slapping bandaids on a public relations machine that was already broken. But this scenario has accelerated the path of those who know how to play the game, who understood that fashion could fill a void within an attention economy that was rabidly craving more content. And now that industry events are taking place IRL again, being in Paris feels like visiting the Internet in person more than it feels like being at the main event. That said, I'm ready for the next episode.

What Is The Underground Fat Loss Manual?
most people don't know about.
This book is for anyone -- man or woman -- who wants a proven, developed-in-the-trenches 'field manual' for getting down to 6-8% body fat levels (12-16% for women) and staying that lean year-round with minimal effort.
It is for anyone who wants to look incredible on the beach and in the bedroom. It is for anyone willing to use unusual and unconventional tactics to get the kind of body others view with lust and envy. It is for anyone who wants abs but still wants to enjoy life and enjoy each and every one of their favorite foods.
It is NOT for whiners or wimps. It is NOT for anyone scared to try something new or different in pursuit of an incredible physique.
Getting down to single digit body fat might seem like an impossible goal. Because the way that most people attempt to get lean is doomed to failure. I know this because I've been there. I've tried the marathon cardio sessions, the zero carb diet plans, the low-fat diets and everything in between. When you're stuck using the wrong tactics, achieving single digit body fat is nearly impossible. But once you discover the proper strategy -- as revealed inside The Underground Fat Loss Manual -- you'll see how to win the war on fat once and for all.* Click here to order now.

I Drink and I Know Things: Game of Thrones Season 6, Episode 3 – "Oathbreaker"
Blogs / By Bill Miller / May 9, 2016 June 17, 2020
"Oathbreaker" – Recap
"Good. Now go fail again." Davos Seaworth speaks these words to a newly revived Jon Snow and achieves in one sentence what normally takes an entire monologue to accomplish. Don't get me wrong, when it comes to motivational speeches I'll gladly recite to you some Al Pacino, Gene Hackman, and Denzel Washington, but when Liam Cunningham (Davos) dropped that line all I could hear in my head was the theme music from Rudy. I like what the show did here. They brought back our Lord Commander in a scene that had heart, humor, (Tormund explaining why Jon isn't a god) and it still left us wondering what would happen next. I know, we find out at the end of the episode what happens, but we'll get there later.
Our good friend Samwell Tarly is back and he's…still traveling to Old Town? He is seasick (shocking) and perhaps also sick at the thought of being a father. Here's to hoping he gets to his maester training sooner than later.
We got a pretty decent flashback scene through the eyes of Bran. This time it is of a young Ned Stark and a small group of soldiers who take on Ser Arthur Dayne and an even smaller group of…well it's just him and some other knight guarding a tower for some unknown reason. After one of the better fight sequences we've seen in a while, Ned finally (with a little help from Meera's father) defeats the "Sword of the Morning" and heads for the tower after hearing a woman screaming from within. Bran does his best Brad Pitt impression and asks, "What's in the tower?" Come on, Bran. Keep up with the rest of us. We know who's in the tower. The question is why? The answer is…wait until next week.
Dany arrives in Vaes Dothrak which, oddly enough, still isn't Westeros.
In Meereen, Varys does what he does best while Tyrion tries to play a drinking game with Grey Worm and Missandei. Oh, and we find out that the person backing the Sons of the Harpy is actually several different people from the other cities that had been "liberated" by Dany. I hope this doesn't mean we're backtracking to those places again.
More Lannister revenge afoot at King's Landing. Another trial by combat in the works? Who does the Faith Militant have that can beat FrankenMountain?
Arya (or is it No-one?) has a training montage comparable to something out of a super hero movie and gets her sight back.
Ramsay gets a gift in Winterfell. It's Rickon Stark! Not good.
We wrap up the episode at The Wall where Jon Snow sentences his betrayers to death by hanging. This scene makes you wonder what Caesar would have done to the Senate if he had had a Red Woman around. Et tu, Ollie?
Oh, and Jon Snow quits.
Thoughts and Theories
There's a new job opening at The Wall. Ser Davos?
I'm pretty sure I could watch an episode of just Bran flashbacks and be completely fine with it.
Speaking of which, did Ned actually hear Bran? Is it possible to change the past?
I'm pretty sure I could watch an episode with just Tyrion and Varys and be completely fine with it.
FrankenMountain vs ??? The High Sparrow has to have something up his sleeve.
King Tommen has 2-3 episodes left. Max.
Whose name will Arya speak first?
Poor Rickon. Going through those awkward teen years as a prisoner in his own house.
The Sneak Peek at next week's episode (below) shows us the return of Littlefinger! Plotting, scheming, and betrayal coming our way soon.
That's it for this week kids! I'll leave you with this thought… The episode was called "Oathbreaker" which probably refers to Jon Snow. Did he really break his oath though? Does death relieve him of his vows to the Night's Watch? Let me know what you think.
"That's what I do. I drink and I know things."
A working actor — which is a fancy way of saying that he does other things to pay the bills.

Classic Jaguar model revamped using ocean rubbish
British company Lunaz used upcycled fishing nets and plastic bottles in the reconstruction of a bespoke XK120
Lunaz's all-electric Jaguar XK120 is introduced to the world. All photos: Lunaz
Simon Wilgress-Pipe
Electrification is a key topic when it comes to any conversation about cars these days — but considerably less is said about sustainability in their production.
Now, one vehicle restoration company has unveiled what it claims is a world first for a revamped Jaguar XK120, a vehicle which first saw the light of day in 1952.
The company has given the car a new electric motor — which is not unheard of — alongside a leather-free interior, which utilises materialises found while cleaning up the oceans.
Most valuable car in the world sold in secret auction
The refurb includes carpets woven from reclaimed nylon fishing nets, with the backing of the material being upcycled from marine plastic pollution, notably discarded bottles.
Lunaz — and the client who commissioned the project — took inspiration from companies already reclaiming waste materials from the sea and using them in high-end products, including fashion brands, furniture manufacturers and watchmakers.
The interior has been finished with a blend of textiles, traditional woods and upcycled materials, with the craftsmen working on the vehicle using parts from the 70-year-old car wherever possible.
The colours of the seat covers reflect the hue of the ocean from which the materials used to create them came. Photo: Lunaz
However, it doesn't mean the owner will miss out on the little luxuries drivers of more modern vehicles enjoy — a discreet screen has been installed with Apple CarPlay to operate the client's choice of navigation and music streaming apps, for example.
All the work has been carried out at Lunaz's facility in Silverstone, England, a stone's throw away from the fabled home of British Formula One.
The car was unveiled and handed over to its new owner at Concours in Savile Row, London, a street synonymous with fine tailoring. How very apt.

At least two potential buyers are pursuing Newcastle's Nine network-affiliated television station NBN.
PBL Media is hoping to add the station to its stable of Channel Nine stations in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.
WIN Corporation also wants NBN as it looks to expand its block of regional Nine affiliates.
WIN and PBL are already locked in a battle for Perth's Channel Nine.
Media analyst Steve Allen of Fusion Strategy says heated negotiations over what WIN pays Nine for programs are at the centre of the tussle.
"They've taken one program off air and said to Nine that 'we don't need that and we don't want that in the contract'," he said.
"They've threatened to take another off air, so I think WIN decided that they had to get some more leverage and entering the metropolitan markets may give them an extra piece of leverage."
