all the story about Ms.Yv★tte, all the mood of Ms.Yv★tte, all the hapiness of Ms.Yv★tte, all the sadness of Ms.Yv★tte, all the life-style of Ms.Yv★tte, all the annoying by Ms.Yv★tte, all the creation by Ms.Yv★tte, all the dreams by Ms.Yv★tte, all the LOVE surrounded Ms.Yv★tte!!
Spending almost 2 hours to settle all the things. But it's not really being settled also.
She is being mature, ya?
When is my turn to have mature outlook?
Chilled at Popeye after that. Nothing special but I did help Funfun to edit her bloggie. The time was too rush for me to do better. Wish that we get the chance next time so that I can edit to be better for you ya.
Reached home safety after Popeye.
Funfun kept asking me to tell Master Ho that she can drive well too since Master Ho mentioned that me and Funfun look more suit to take bus rather than driving and having our own cars.
Funfun, you did well as a beginner. Thumbs up for you!
Actually, Lots of memories come out in my mind once I step into the college, Funfun did it too. We recalled the time during diploma, that was a good time for me.
Our relationship was not that deep at the first year of diploma, we were just like classmatesrather than friends. I kept quiet all the time in the class unless chatting with funfun and lingling. I thought Funfun and Lingling would be the last best friends of me in my camous life.
Somethings happened so that five of us (Simsim, Funfun, LingLing, Louise and Annlyn) sticked all the time. We found our truly friendship at the second year, before that, I was afraid Louise and Annlyn because they like the HOT students in our course, I thought that they were not willing to friend with me.
We chiat chat all the time at every where. We almost did every assignment in the same group, as requires, 5-6 people in a group ;p We even stayed over night together just to complete the assignment. Actually, we played more than work.
We chilled at Annlyn's hostel room after and before classes. I was afraid to be checked by the guard then Annlyn and Louise would be the elder sisters to calm me down and 'protect' me all the time. Honestly, having them made me feel calm and more brave in doing many things, especially presentation.
Mcdonald is our choice to have meal after class. Louise mixed both tomato and chili sauces, Lingling loves to eat Chili sauce so much and tomato sauce is te only choice for Annlyn. Funfun dropped both McChicken and Sundae at the same day and made us LMAO for whole week.
Our relation seems like lasting forever as what we planned to fly oversea to UK at advanced diploma.
Dream is always the most beautiful and perfect. Our dream is still a dream. Fate can't fulfill our common dream, we were being seperated. I blamed and I felt disappointed without reason. I can't accept parting, especially with the people that I love. They are not belong to my friends yet sisters for me. Can you accept your sisters leave you one by one? By the way, I accepted it after thinking wisely. We're still BY5 (the name especially for us by Annlyn) and we're still sisters no matter where we are.
Till now, I still cry when missing them.
I hope we still can stick together everyday like before. But, we can't. Annlyn and LingLing go back to their hometown. We even hard to meet and chat online at the same time.
However, I know we miss each other all the time and we care each other as before. Our relationship never been changed till now. I hope it can be forever.
A normal classes day again. 8am class as usual. Mr. alex taught about assignment again. Discussed and presented tutorial questions that Ms Yap given. Nothing special for whole day. 2pm, met with annlyn and waited Master Ho to fetch us. Planning to go back home after that, but time allowed us to buy bankdraft, one of the needs for applying Diploma in Public Relations convocation. Yes! I'm graduated from Public Relations!
We Have No More Reliable Supports!
on the time, my tears were almost rolling down. my brain controlled my emotion, I should be brave! and I should learn! ya, i'm brave and strong enough until i controlled my tears. It's a improvement for myself, i think. At least, i know i'm not alone. I have Annlyn, Ee Ling, Master Ho, Yeunis, and lots of new friends here. As annlyn said, We have to do all the things by ourselves, We have to be alone and lonely, We have to control to avoid talking nonsense. Overall, We need to GROW uP! We already steps into 2O' aged, staying KL for two years should bring us to be matured, either out-looking or brain thinking. our life is on our hand, We handle and control it. Matured, is the only hint to success our life.
Louise, as what annlyn said, we're happy and glad that you marriage with a good and honest man. Although we can't meet everyday as before, we still feel happy because we know you're i happiness and sweet~ You always protect four of us from baddies, you avoided us from getting hurts, I really appreciate it. I always think about you when I feel sad and get hurt, You just like a sista who always care about us. but, Don't worry, we learn to protect ourselves, we'll be fine here.
Fun fun, no more people ponteng class together with me and it's really sad. =p but i know your "spirit" is still around us. *it sounds 'dai gat lai si'=p"
I miss you all the time and no more crying here. Look at me, I'm strong enough to manage my assignments and my works. Convocation is coming, I was still consider whether want to attend since you can't take part it with us. but I think you hope we can attend as graduated student from Diploma in Public Relations. We should be proud of it!
Those who always update my blog will know that she is the one who I love the most in my campus life.
Yesterday noon, i received a message from her.
"Wanna tell you guys that i really can't proceed to advaced diploma.. Anyway, i won't forget the times that stay with you all.."
My tears dropped down when i saw the message.
and, I always believe she will be!
She was confidence in her paper but how come she would failed it?
My mind suddenly came out with lots memories with my little fun fun..
She is a caring, lovely and sweet girl.
She supports me all over the time.
We done our assignments until mid-night together.
We attended class together and also "ponteng".
We planned to sing-k very often.
so I should make myself to be strong.
but I really don't like the study time when my little fun fun is not around.
I don't want to face the truth.
so... I should do it at first, right?
Ya, my life is started NOW!
Promise, I won't make you disappointed again!
We still can meet up always!
The time to chill won't be missed!

The past weekend has been especially exciting for the kids. The girl had an all-girls birthday playdate last Saturday, and come Sunday, the family celebrated the baptismal and first birthday party of my nephew. The events were filled with unique and unexpected surprises that made them more memorable.
I had a couple of invites for blogger events that same day, but family comes first and I'm always the chaperone of my kids whenever I'm needed. They don't have a yaya anymore, kaya I go where they go. This was a full day of activities planned by the mom of the celebrant. You can imagine how giddy (and chatty) the girls were the whole time!
They started with a morning swim at an exclusive club. It was hot and sunny that day so the girls swam for a little over an hour before everyone headed to Chili's for lunch.
Then came the Hummer... a stretch Hummer! WOW! The limo was waiting for us after lunch to bring us to our next destination.
It was a special request from the celebrant. It so happens that their family friend owns it and let her have the ride for the afternoon. Ang saya saya! =) Our little princess (and this mom too!) was lucky to be able to join her friend in this special joy ride!
The limo brought us to Farmacy where we all treated to some ice cream for dessert. The last stop was back to the celebrant's house for an extended playtime. That was one sweet ride. Thanks again to the birthday family for hosting this unforgettable birthday playdate!
The youngest member of our family was finally baptized and celebrated his first birthday with a program-filled party that afternoon. It was a train station theme party, injected with a few more things that boys love.
Before the afternoon party started, we had a quick family photo session with Caren Carlos. It was our first outdoor shoot, very casual. Will share this with you on another feature. =) Here's a BTS shot muna.
I was too far from the stage and didn't have my digicam with me, so sayang, I was unable to take a video and better photos. There was a group of "cowboy" dancers that opened the program. Aside from fun games and good food, the surprise song number of opera singer and Asia's Got Talent semi-finalist Gerphil Flores, and dance numbers from my nieces were some of the highlights of the party (still waiting for videos from the party).
The kids went wild when four (4) Iron Men came out and performed an "electrifying" number that proved to be a crowd pleaser. My sis-in-law made a good decision to have a wide screen as backdrop to enhance the special effects. Non-stop picture-taking siyempre, except for my k.j. kids na ayaw mag pa-picture!
The boy was also able to score some balloon creations that gave him an armor and robotic arm. He was already getting bored before this happened but went home very happy. Our weekend was tiring and fun-filled, but definitely one for the books!

Something I've been processing and talking through with Nate over the past month. We LOVE our couples and are honored that we get be part of incredible moments – it's life giving. We serve clients by making sure we're filled up – that we're pursuing passions, staying healthy, and spending intentional time together.
So in honor of intentional time, the NBA playoffs, and Lebron James, Nate's birthday came 3 months early.
When I picked up Nate on Wednesday for Chipotle, he didn't go back to work. Instead, we went straight to Ohio to attend our FIRST professional basketball game. When he got in the car after lunch, there was a Cavs shirt draped over his seat. He thought the shirt was the surprise and was super thankful for it – like the children who open vegetables as prank Christmas presents and love them. Once Nate processed that his bags were packed for him and that work was being left in Lynchburg, he got excited.
We spent the night in Lebanon and headed to Cleveland the next day for the game. In true Schwenk fashion, we ran from our hotel and made it just in time for tipoff. It was fierce. Cavs fans love their team and they show it passionately. Plus, playoff game attendees get free t-shirts…if only yellow were my color.
My favorite part was watching Nate enjoy the game while eating arena chicken tenders and fries. His favorite part of the trip was the game. I know because he kept saying "I didn't know how much I would love this." I call that a birthday win.
Given that Nate is an incredible driver and I'm an amazing car sleeper, I came back rested for Saturday's wedding at Diamond V Farm where I second shot for Ashley Elizabeth Photography.

Devtools for Data Privacy — Step 1: Privacy Taxonomy V1.0
For privacy engineers to build privacy directly into the codebase, they need agreed-upon definitions for translating policy into code. Ethyca CEO Cillian unveils an open source system to standardize definitions for personal data living in the tech stack.
Back in July, I articulated some of Ethyca's driving ideas in a Stack Overflow feature: Privacy is an afterthought in the software lifecycle. That needs to change.
To solve the problem I described, I believe the dev community needs to agree upon and build an open source definition language and set of tools for privacy.
The purpose of these tools is simple:
Allow anyone working on systems that process sensitive or risky data to consistently describe the types of data they're handling and what that data is being used for.
Create CI rules or policies for how data can be used and enforce those in the CI pipeline to prevent code that might create risks or misuse data from ever reaching production.
Provide configurable tools to ensure respecting a user's rights can be a feature of any system, such as data access, erasure, portability and retention.
Create runtime rules or policies for fine-grained, semantic enforcement, thereby ensuring that only the necessary data is shared with systems or people to perform a process.
The two key benefits yielded are (1) ensuring that software systems more easily comply with complex data privacy regulations that are already forcing change on the tech community, and (2) ensuring that the products we build more naturally respect the rights of users.
Over the last three years at Ethyca, we've been working hard with technical design partners and engineering teams at some of the world's biggest tech companies to understand the root cause of privacy challenges and build the tools necessary to solve these from the ground up. I'm excited that in the coming months we'll finally share the culmination of that work with the first public release of our open source privacy tools.
A Proposed Privacy Taxonomy
The foundation of those tools is a consistent understanding of types and uses of data, and so I want to share the first public release of our data taxonomy with you today.
Its purpose is to create an agreed-upon definition of types and categories of personal data. This is a vital first step in any ontological design as, in order for any privacy standard to be interoperable, we must first achieve a shared definition of what types of data there are.
I'm eager to share this and excited to get any feedback that might improve this standard for every developer. I believe what follows forms the foundation of any realistic solution to privacy engineering.
The rest of this post breaks down our current thinking on what will be a freely available and extensible taxonomy: its components, hierarchy and syntax.
Objective of a Privacy Taxonomy
As stated briefly above and in my other posts, if the dev community is going to solve privacy, we need to agree on a standard definition language on which to base our understanding of systems, the risk they pose and our ability to codify healthy policies into them — ultimately, an ontology for privacy (more on that in a future post).
The starting point for that is a definition of entities in a system: a taxonomy, the ability to describe what types of data we are handling and what we're using them for. If we can make it easy for any dev to do this as part of their implementation process, we can start to bake privacy naturally into healthy software design and delivery processes.
So a lot rides on getting the dev community to standardize their way of describing privacy data and privacy-related data processes in their systems. The taxonomy that follows is our attempt to publicly start that process, and we want to encourage as many developers as possible to contribute their views so that we can collectively build better technology.
Accessing & Exploring the Taxonomy
This post marks the day we're starting to release years of development work at Ethyca, as we had always intended, for the open source community. With that in mind, feel free to grab the taxonomy repo available below or use the codepen to explore the structure visually.
https://github.com/ethyca/privacy-taxonomy
or codepen here:
https://codepen.io/cilliank/embed/OJgexYz?theme-id=39778
Privacy Taxonomy Research
Our goal at Ethyca was to conduct the detailed research necessary to provide the dev community with a first draft taxonomy robust enough to capture a comprehensive view of privacy, yet intuitive enough for any engineer to easily apply.
To achieve this, we evaluated existing privacy ontologies and their taxonomies, such as PrOnto and COPri v.2; international standards like ISO 19944; and contrasted with major data privacy regulations like the GDPR (the ICO's website is a helpful read for those curious), CCPA, LGPD and drafts of the Indian PDPB.
Early Decisions
Armed with this analysis and feedback from our technical design partners, we've been refining this taxonomy for over a year. We feel that it's an early but confident first step in capturing everything you will need to describe the privacy behaviors and data types of your tech stack.
To achieve this, we made some early, opinionated and intentional decisions that I'd love feedback on. So the taxonomy repo you'll see here:
Supports all of the data types and concepts necessary to describe a system for the GDPR, CCPA and LGPD.
Supports the standards of ISO 19944;
Is extensible, so you can add categories of data or data processing definitions to suit your business;
Is intended to be semantic and allow a natural understanding of any label for any user.
Concepts & Conventions of the Taxonomy
Conceptually, the taxonomy is segmented in four groupings as follows:
1. Data Categories
Data Categories are a comprehensive hierarchy of labels to represent types of data in your systems. They can be coarse definitions such as "User Provided Data" or fine grained ones, such as "User Provided Email Address". We'll dig into this in a bit more detail shortly.
2. Data Use Categories
Data Use Categories are labels that describe how, or for what purposes, you are using the data. This branch of the taxonomy creates a structure for the most common uses of data in software applications. An example might be the use of data for payment processing or first party personalized advertising. These would both be data uses, ways in which your system uses data.
3. Data Subject Categories
"Subjects" is a slightly esoteric term, common in the privacy industry to represent the user type — that is to say, the label applied to describe the provider or owner of the data. E.g., if you have an email address in your system, it might belong to an employee of the company, or to a customer. In this case, employees and customers are both "subjects" of the system. Under various privacy regulations, they are afforded rights over managing how their data is used and that may vary by the subject type, so the distinction between a patient in a medical records system and a customer in an e-commerce system is important.
4. Data Identification Qualifiers
Data Identification Qualifiers provide added context as to the degree of identification and therefore, potential risk using the data might pose relative to identifying an individual. A simple way to think about this is a spectrum: on one end is completely anonymous data, i.e. it is impossible to identify an individual from it, and on the other end is data that specifically identifies an individual. Along this spectrum are various labels that denote the degree of identification that a given data might provide.
Writing Conventions
We worked through various potential syntaxes to ensure it's as easy as possible to read and write in plain English. Ultimately, dot notation lends itself most appropriately to writing statements that are concise and easy to understand. So the branch structure is dot notation and you'll see some of the end nodes are complex terms that use snake case for clarity.
As such, if you were attempting to use the taxonomy of data categories to label, for example, an email address, the resulting hierarchical notation would look like:
user.provided.identifiable.contact.email
As you can see, it's pretty easy to deduce from this that it's user-provided data, it identifies them and it is considered contact information — more specifically, an email address.
The design of these hierarchical structures is intended to allow any dev implementing this to type out the classification to a level of specificity that suits their needs. If I take the above example, my team and I might decide that we're satisfied if we know it's identifiable data about a user, which would look like:
user.provided.identifiable
Or labeling it with slightly more specificity as contact data:
user.provided.identifiable.contact
Taxonomy Structure
As stated, the objective with releasing the taxonomy now is to discuss, debate and over time, iteratively improve the taxonomy so that it can cater to most common scenarios for devs and data teams in describing systems. Here we'll delve into the current structure and our rationale for their present state.
Data Categories
As you can see from the dot notation example above and the taxonomy visualizer tool in the header, Data Categories are classified into primitive categories with a hierarchy of branches and nodes that allow for degrees of precision when classifying data.
Here's a breakdown of that structure:
Data Categories — Top Level
There are three top-level categories:
account: Data related to a system account.
system: Data unique to, and under control of the system.
user: Data related to the user of the system, either provided directly or derived based on their usage.
In defining these, we looked at the cross-labeling implications of data types such as an email address, which may be both account data and user data. This is a logical multi-label assignment so that you can manage this data for both purposes, or perhaps create exclusionary rules related to its use.
TLDR: When considering and testing labeling extensively, we found that with three clear primitives you could elegantly construct a series of labels that covered the broadest possible data types while limiting the number of terms needed to do so.
Data Categories — Second Level
For each top-level node, there are multiple branches that provide richer context. You will see for the first two, account and system, these are limited, where the user node provides subclasses suitable to assist in detailed personal data management.
account.contact: Contact data related to a system account.
account.payment: Payment data related to a system account.
system.authentication: Data used to manage access to the system.
system.operations: Data used for system operations.
user.derived: Data derived from user provided data or as a result of user actions in the system.
user.provided: Data provided or created directly by a user of the system.
Most of these are likely self-evident, Of note here are the derived and provided labels, as these respectively describe where data was derived by the system through observation or inference, versus explicitly provided by a user.
Data Categories — Third Level
As you can see, the hierarchy supports simple labels or, where necessary, very precise and fine-grained annotations. It's easiest from here for you to dive in and play with the classifications yourself. However, we'll quickly look at level three of the user branch specifically, where you have branches from derived and provided:
You can see this is split into identifiable and non-identifiable data:
user.derived.identifiable: Derived data that is linked to, or identifies a user.
user.derived.nonidentifiable: Non-user identifiable data derived related to a user as a result of user actions in the system.
And a similar split applies to provided, as shown below.
user.provided.identifiable: Data provided or created directly by a user that is linked to or identifies a user.
user.provided.nonidentifiable: Data provided or created directly by a user that is not identifiable.
Data Use Categories
Similar to Data Categories, for Data Use, we've attempted to capture the widest variety of data use cases with the briefest hierarchy we can. In addition to this, we've captured all of the use cases described by ISO 19944 and GDPR to ensure that a single taxonomy can describe data uses across data privacy frameworks.
You'll see if you use the taxonomy explorer in the header that this currently breaks down as follows:
Data Use Categories — Top Level
At present there are seven top-level nodes to the use categories taxonomy branch. We think this still needs work and are continuing to optimize. However, today they are:
provide: Provide, in the context of providing a product or service.
improve: Improve, similarly relating to the product or service.
personalize: Personalization of the product or service.
advertising: Marketing, Advertising or Promotion.
third_party_sharing: Sharing data with a third party vendor or processor.
collect: Collect data with no currently specified use (you shouldn't do this but it seems necessary to encompass some poor, non-privacy appropriate, legacy processes).
train_ai_system: Train an AI System.
Data Use Categories — Second Level
From here, it's likely quicker to explore the second level data use categories yourself. However, it's worth noting that we've attempted to capture the most common constructs that create privacy risks. For example:
advertising.third_party.personalized: Specifies data received from a third party for the purpose of personalization of advertising to a user or group of users.
third_party_sharing.personalized_advertising: Sharing of data collected by the system with a third party for their use in personalized advertising.
These two examples show really important distinctions of use. The first is where your product is performing personalized marketing/advertising by receiving and processing data from a third party. Whereas the second example declares that your system is sharing data with a third party for their use in advertising — very different uses and privacy implications!
Data Use Categories — Final Word
As a final word on data use categories, I stated at the top of this post that we've designed this with extensibility in mind, and data uses are a really effective example of this. Every business or software system is different and as such, you're likely to have different or industry specific uses for your system.
The objective therefore with data uses is to create a simple framework to generate a clear hierarchy of classifications, so that you can quickly extend this for your use, whether it's medical data use or some other sensitive process.
Finally, if you look at the repository history, you'll see we've been iterating on structure from snake_case to dot notation and also hierarchy of terms. I'm hopeful that we'll continue to do this constantly with feedback from devs implementing this to ensure it satisfies real-world use cases.
Data Subject Categories
This is likely the easiest group of the taxonomy to understand. At present it's a flat structure with no hierarchy and represents the various types of users (aka subjects) that may be participants in your system. These could be users, customers, employees, patients, voters, etc.
You might ask why we've done this. The benefit of this specificity is future-proofing. As privacy regulations evolve we expect that certain groups of users' data will be managed differently. The ability to assign one or multiple user types to your data assures that in future you can build policies and enforcements around data for any business or legal requirement. So you might decide that today you treat employee and customer data the same way, but you will have the flexibility to change retention policies on employee data in the future. As with everything in the taxonomy, you can extend this to support specific business cases. This flexibility means that a thoughtful system need not be fragile, rendered unworkable as soon as compliance requirements evolve. To the contrary: the ontology enables the system to be nimble, a vital quality in a landscape as dynamic as modern data and privacy compliance needs.
Subject categories are explicit in their meaning today, so:
anonymous_user: An individual who is truly unknown/anonymous to the system.
citizen_voter: An individual who is a citizen of a nation or state and may be a voter in a state sponsored voting system.
commuter: An individual in transit on any means of transportation where their location may be monitored.
consultant: An individual external service provider to the organization..
customer: An individual who has purchased products or services from the organization.
employee: An individual who is an employee of the organization.
job_applicant: An individual who is in the job application process of an organization, past or present.
next_of_kin: An individual identified as a legal point of contact for another category of individual in the system.
passenger: An individual traveling on transportation provided by the organization.
patient: An individual identified for the purpose of medical or health procedures.
prospect: An individual identified for the purpose of sales and marketing.
shareholder: An individual identified as an owner or shareholder of an organization.
supplier_vendor: An individual or organization providing goods or services to the organization.
trainee: An individual receiving training or tutoring.
visitor: An individual visiting a location of an organization.
Data Identification Qualifiers
Similar to subject categories, identification qualifiers are a flat structure today and represent the common groups of data with respect to their ability to identify an individual. They are:
identified_data: Data that directly identifies an individual.
pseudonymized_data: Data which has been de-identified (by removing/replacing all identifiers) but used with other data may re-identify an individual.
unlinked_pseudonymized_data: Data which has been de-identified (by removing/replacing all identifiers) where linkages have also been replaced/broken such that the individual cannot be re-identified.

In this post I've proposed a first draft of a privacy taxonomy, one that underpins much of the thinking we do at Ethyca. What we're releasing today is just an up-down taxonomy. However, this precedes an entire ontology that provides a simple grammar to describe complex data flows and privacy-related behaviors in a software system. This has been at the heart of our work for nearly three years now.
I'm excited to finally start sharing that work publicly with the community, and I encourage feedback, debate and changes. By having these conversations, we can build a better standard and the tools necessary to make this easy for every dev to implement.
Over the coming weeks we'll be releasing more details of our work in this space and the benefits created by these tools. We welcome your feedback, participation and contribution.

Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud made to wait on Inter Milan move
Date: 13th January 2020 at 7:36pm
Written by: Off The Pitch Media
Olivier Giroud will have to wait to complete his move from Chelsea to Inter Milan, according to reports.
The 33-year-old seems to be closing in on a switch to the San Siro after La Gazzetta dello Sport (via the Mail Online) reported that terms with the Serie A title contenders had been agreed.
This will see Giroud reunited with boss Antonio Conte, who was in charge of Chelsea when he signed from Arsenal in January 2018.
Chelsea won the Premier League and FA Cup with Conte in charge.
However, the major Italian outlet claim that the France international will not be able to seal the transfer until Inter sell Matteo Politano.
Politano, who is thought to be attracting interest from AC Milan, Fiorentina and Napoli, has started just two league matches this term.
Giroud has also had to settle for mainly substitute appearances this season, making just two Premier League starts under Frank Lampard.
And with his contract expiring in the summer, the West London side have taken the decision to let the former Arsenal star depart.
The 2018 World Cup winner will reportedly cost Inter £4.2million and he has agreed a contact until 2021.
But the former Arsenal star will seemingly have to sit tight until Inter move on Politano.

Interactive Web TV: Laphroaig A Taste of Scotland
A Taste of Scotland with a flavour of Spain
Discover what south western Spain and the remote Scottish island of Islay
have in common with a tasting broadcast live and interactive from Jerez
Show date: Thursday 23rd September
Show time: 20:00 CET (GMT +1)
More details below about the iInteractive Web TV - Whisky - Laphroaig A Taste of Scotland with a flavour of Spain Live on 23th September, 2010
While a hearty Rioja or a glass of sangria are the typical accompaniment to tapas, a Scottish whisky imparted with the flavour of locally-produced sherry offers a more sophisticated solution.
Whisky-lovers are more than familiar with the distinctive taste of Laphroaig, and by introducing Laphroaig to sherry barrels for maturation, a uniquely rich flavour and hue is added to the whisky, delivering an unmistakable taste of Laphroaig with characteristics of the sherry.
It's a subtle and rewarding combination for the consumer, but still a relatively rare one as industry estimates suggest less than 7% of whisky is matured in sherry casks, compared to bourbon casks.
It's this rarity which makes the latest Laphroaig Live production such a must-see show. Following the successes of the first-ever live online whisky tasting in 2007, followed by live shows from the distillery on Islay, and then the Maker's Mark distillery in 2009, this year the Laphroaig team comes live from the sherry bodegas of Jerez.
While Laphroaig whisky boasts a rich 200-year-old heritage, the Jerez region has been producing wine since 1100BC, and fortified wine – sherry – since at least the 13th century, with many believing production began even earlier.
Located in the south west of Spain, Jerez continues to produce sherry for export around the globe. In all there are more than 10,000 hectares (25,000 acres) of vineyards in the region and sherry is produced in a variety of styles, ranging from dry, light versions such as finos to darker heavier versions known as olorosos, made from the Palomino grape - with sweet dessert wines also being made from Pedro Ximenez or Moscatel grapes.
Broadcasting live from the Harvey's bodegas, this interactive tasting experience will offer a further insight into the 'marriage' between the sherried oaky flavours from the oloroso sherry casks and the sweet flavours from the ex American Oak Bourbon barrels used in the creation of some of Laphroaig's expressions.
We will be offering a unique insight into this maturation process by comparing Bourbon cask matured Laphroaig with sherry matured Laphroaig to assess how the flavours of the wooden barrels help create the distinctive taste of the expression.
We will also be pairing a selection with authentic Spanish tapas to bring out the rich and creamy flavours and smoky notes that punctuate the individuality of Laphroaig. For those whose palate seeks a more traditional style, Quarter Cask will also be tasted to highlight the effect of different maturation styles.
John Campbell, Jose Antonio Souto, Diego Sandrin and Simon Brooking join us live online at www.laphroaig.com/live to take part in this live tasting session on Thursday 23rd September 2010 at 20:00 CET (GMT +1)

Blair Waldorf very wrongly said, "Fashion knows not comfort." Well, it's a pity that no one introduced her to kurtis or may be she should've been born in a South Asian country?
I am all about kurtis these days and as much as I love wearing them with a pair of leggings and kolhapuris, I've been looking for Indo-Western ways to style them. This outfit idea came to me while shopping with mum. I was trying on a few kurtis at Westside *Westside has the best collection of kurtis at the most affordable prices. Go check!* and I loved how it looked over my ripped denims and oxfords! This is my new favourite way to wear a kurti. Before this, it was with palazzos and straight pants.
My current obsession with kurtis made me realize how less I have blogged about Indian wear in all these *inconsistent* years of blogging and that surely cannot be a good thing considering my love for Indian handicrafts. I love how Indian wear can be styled in so many different fun ways and being Indian bloggers, we should all wear them more often. Don't you think? You are definitely going to be seeing more of Indian clothes here.

This student submission comes from my former student Michael Dixon. His topic, from Precalculus: mathematical induction.
How can this topic be used in your students'future courses in mathematics or science?
The first time student are introduced to mathematical proofs is probably in high school geometry class, proving theorems using the axiomatic method. They work to prove things about Euclidean geometry with step by step deductive reasoning, as did Euclid himself in the Elements. They prove things about concrete objects that they can see and draw on paper, such as circles, angles, lines, and triangles. But then they move on to Algebra II where they are taught more abstract ways of dealing with numbers and expressions. Is there any way to prove things about numbers themselves? It's not as easy to visualize, that's for sure. What is a number? Is it something I can see and feel; is it the shape we write on the page? Or is it something beyond that? This aspect is one of the challenges that algebra students face as they are exposed to more and more mathematics. Mathematical Induction is one way to prove things about numbers using solid deductive reasoning that cannot be refuted. And not just about a few numbers; high school students would be more accepting of that. Mathematical induction is usually used to prove something about ALL of the natural numbers, starting from one and going on out past infinity. Induction can be used to prove what students might intuitively think about the natural numbers, such as that there are an infinite number of primes, or it can be used to prove less obvious things about numbers, such as 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + …+ n = n2. We can prove these and more without having to compute billions and billions of cases. In just a few lines of mathematical logic, we can prove that something is true for every natural integer. This is more than just telling the students something and them accepting it, this technique PROVES that some statements are always true for any number we want to choose, no matter how large it is. That's some powerful stuff.
How was this topic adopted by the mathematical community.
Mathematical induction has been around for thousands of years. While not in the same form as we see it today, induction can be seen all the way back to Euclid's proof that there are an infinite number of primes, or in the writings of Aristotle. They used this logic to prove a lot of things, but it was not in the formal way of proving something about n and n + 1. This formal notation did not show up until around 1575, when Maurolycus that 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + …+ n = n2, though he did not prove using n and n + 1, yet. Several mathematicians began using this formal method soon after, such as Pascal and , though no one had a name for it. Bernoulli then was one of the first to begin using the method of arguing from n to n + 1. Since then, mathematicians have been heavily using this method to prove countless things about the natural numbers. And eventually, around the 20th century the name itself, mathematical induction, finally became the standard term for the method starting over two thousand years ago.
These videos cover mathematical induction in a way I hadn't seen before, and cleared up a misconception that I had. I had always thought (because of the name) that mathematical induction was not the same kind of reasoning that is used in other axiomatic proofs. However, mathematical induction happens to actually be deductive reasoning, rather than inductive reasoning. The only similarity is that both mathematical induction and inductive reasoning deal with occurring patterns. The first video is more the engage part, while the second one goes a lithe further into the content. For the engage, showing the video at the beginning of the class is probably better, while the second might be given to the students as homework to watch on their own.

How Important is Wisconsin to Trump in 2020?
February 19, 2020 By Richard C. Young
President Donald J. Trump is joined on stage by Theresa Sprader of Derco Aeroispace Inc. during his remarks on the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement Friday, July 12, 2019, at Derco Aerospace Inc in Milwaukee, Wisc. (Official White House Photo by Tia Dufour)
In The New Yorker, Joseph O'Neill explains just how important Wisconsin will be to the outcome of the 2020 presidential race. He writes (abridged):
Our polarized national politics means that the Presidential election is exceptionally transparent. If the Democrat flips Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, he or she will almost certainly win.
If Donald Trump holds just one of these states, he will very likely scrape together an Electoral College majority.
In the 2018 midterms, which came to be known as the Blue Wave, Democratic gubernatorial candidates won in Pennsylvania and Michigan by about seven points. In Wisconsin, the Democrat Tony Evers defeated Scott Walker, the incumbent governor, by a point—fewer than thirty thousand votes.
If the upcoming Presidential race goes down to the wire, it very much looks like the wire will be in Wisconsin.
The suburbs of Milwaukee in Waukesha, Ozaukee, and Washington counties are heavily white and legendary in political circles for delivering victories to the G.O.P. While suburbs elsewhere in the country have turned away from the Republican Party.
Most Democrats in Wisconsin are concentrated in two cities: Madison and Milwaukee.
Milwaukee has been rated the worst city in the country to be an African-American resident, yet nearly forty per cent of its population is African-American.
What may be the most downtrodden urban community in the United States has a superpower: the potential to decide who will be the country's next President.

Kennan Cable No. 58: Israeli Reactions in a Soviet Moment: Reflections on the 1970 Leningrad Affair
By Jonathan Dekel-Chen

Yosef Mendelevich, one of the leaders of "Operation Wedding," has responded to this Cable - read more here.
The Kennan Institute convened a virtual meeting in June 2020 marking the 50th anniversary of the attempted hijacking of a Soviet commercial flight from Leningrad.[1] The 16 Jewish hijackers hoped to draw international attention to their struggle for emigration to Israel, although many of them did not believe that they would arrive at their destination. Some were veterans of the Zionist movement who had already endured punishment for so-called "nationalist, anti-Soviet crimes," whereas others were newcomers to activism.[2] Their arrest on the Leningrad airport tarmac in June 1970, followed by a show trial later that year, brought the hijackers the international attention they sought. Predictably, the trial resulted in harsh prison terms. A global uproar from Jewish advocacy groups, legislators, and public demonstrators pushed the Kremlin to retry the conspirators, commute death sentences for their leaders, and reduce the prison terms for the rest.
A showing of the 2016 documentary film Operation Wedding (the code name for the hijacking) produced by Anat Zalmanson-Kuznetsov, daughter of two conspirators, preceded the Kennan panel and served as a backdrop for its conversations. The film describes the events from the vantage point of her parents. As it shows, the plight of the hijackers—in particular Edward Kuznetsov and Sylva Zalmanson—became a rallying point for Jewish and human rights activists in the West. Both eventually emigrated to Israel. Israel's government and people had overlapping connections to these events in Leningrad. Its responses illustrate how a small country navigates foreign policy challenges with a superpower. Those reactions reflected not just the mood and realities of the time but also help clarify the complexities of the Israel-Russia relationship today.
Roots & Legacies: From Leningrad to Israel
Multiple factors, at times contradictory, influenced Israel's dealings with the Soviet Union in the 1960s and 1970s. On the one hand, Israel was the longed-for destination of the Leningrad hijackers and growing numbers of Soviet Jews; Moscow saw this as a threat to its claims of ideological supremacy over the West and the nation-state model. Israel's essence demanded it absorb any Jew who desired immigration. There was a core feature of Israel's demography that strongly contributed to its Soviet policy: most of the State of Israel's founding generations emigrated from Eastern Europe starting in the 1880s, including men and women who rose to leadership positions in its main political parties. Many of them hailed from territories embodied in the USSR after 1917. This familiarity—and, for some, resentment—contributed to ambivalence among much of Israel's political and artistic elites about all things Russian and Soviet. Moreover, since 1948 Israel has intermittently tried to position itself as standard-bearer and/or protector for Jews worldwide. Israel both remembered its debt for early Soviet support while also bridling since the Six-Day War under the Kremlin's virulent anti-Zionist propaganda campaign. Added to these factors, the events in Leningrad transpired at a time of international transitions. On a global level, détente between the USSR and the United States was still embryonic. Israel and the U.S. constructed their new strategic partnership amid the ebbs and flows of the Cold War in the Mideast.
The passage of time since 1970, along with changes wrought by the disintegration of the Soviet Union, does not obscure lines of continuity in Israeli behavior toward a global power with whom it had complex connections and intersecting interests. Israel has always faced a complicated diplomatic landscape. Looking toward Eurasia, it must balance relations with all the USSR's successor states, particularly between Russia and Ukraine. Among the factors at play then and now are the willingness of specific global actors to place military and economic "boots on the ground" in Israel's neighborhood, the numbers and status of immigrants (and their children) from the former Soviet Union in Israel (who comprise nearly 20 percent of the electorate today), and fluctuations in coalition politics.
Before and after 1970, Jerusalem has coped with difficult choices about how to support Jewish interests in Russian-speaking space. In doing so, Israeli leaders also consciously kept their distance from dissident movements to avoid even an appearance of interference in domestic issues. Israel's approach to the Russian Federation and Ukraine in recent years reflects the lasting echoes of this vacillation between an impulse for warmer relations versus reticence, depending upon Jerusalem's domestic political calculus and its closeness with the administration in Washington. These continuities connect Prime Minister Netanyahu's behavior today toward President Putin's Russian Federation to Prime Minister Golda Meir's approach in 1970 toward General Secretary Brezhnev's Soviet Union.
With that continuity in mind, it is time to drill down into the Israeli landscape before and after the Leningrad Affair. It makes sense that the hijacking and trial must have had great resonance there. What do the hijackers' peers living in Israel think? From my conversations with former Zionist activists denied permission by Soviet authorities to emigrate to Israel (refuseniks), it appears that most are split regarding their personal moments of national awakening: some point to the Six-Day War, while others mark the hijacking. An older generation of former Zionist activists in the Soviet Union insisted, however, that there had always been pockets of Jewish nationalism seeking freedom to express their ethno-national identity or the right to emigrate. For them, the "youngsters" of the 1960s and 1970s received outsized credit for reenergizing a consciousness that had existed since the 1880s. Let us accept as a "given" the difficulty of reaching a consensus among former refuseniks about the impact of this or that event. An objective impediment persists for scholarly analysis of Israel's responses to the Leningrad episode, or anything else connected to the movement: the archives of the semi-secret government agency (Nativ or Lishkat ha-kesher in Hebrew) responsible for support of Soviet Jewry remains mostly inaccessible to researchers, with no clear timetable for declassification.
What framed the contours of Israel-USSR contacts concerning Soviet Jewry before the dramatic scenes in Leningrad? From 1948 until 1968, amid the ups and downs of bilateral relations, Israeli leaders did not openly encourage emigration. In the first years after Israel's independence, Moscow believed it might cultivate Israel as a strategic partner in the Mideast. These hopes waned in the early 1950s as Israel's leaders adopted more capitalist domestic policies and the country gravitated toward the Western camp.[3] Underneath high politics, however, an Israel-Soviet connection endured because large swaths of the Israeli public remained circumspect about socialism, while significant parts of the body politic with familial roots in Eastern Europe held onto warm nostalgia and retained old cultural affinities.
Following cycles of deterioration and recovery, relations shifted from ambivalence to hostility following Israel's victory over Soviet client states in the June War in 1967. Moscow severed diplomatic ties while the battles still raged and within a few weeks launched a fierce anti-Zionist campaign in the Eastern bloc. Then, in November 1969, months before the Leningrad hijacking, Prime Minister Meir announced from the Knesset podium that the USSR should permit emigration for Soviet Jews, breaking from the former quiet understanding with the Kremlin about the fate of the Jewish community.[4]
Lest there be any doubt, Meir and other Israeli leaders genuinely cared about the fate of Soviet Jews. But she—akin to so-called "establishment" Jewish leaders in America and Britain—still preferred a behind-the-scenes approach on the Soviet Jewry issue.[5]Operation Wedding mentioned a significant accomplishment from this quiet diplomacy: Meir enlisted Spain's Generalissimo Franco to help convince the Kremlin to commute the death sentences against two of the Leningrad hijackers.
Transnational Mobilization
Reassessing the legacies of the hijacking benefits from a broad analytical lens. For one, the Leningrad Affair accelerated the entry of women into organized advocacy in the Jewish world.[6] The best example of this is the British group The 35s, who at their founding in 1971 mobilized around a young refusenik, Raiza Palatnik, as their cause célèbre, eventually adding Sylva Zalmanson as a face of their campaign.[7] This gendered feature of the global campaign had less impact in Israel. Why? In those years, it was still a country mostly comprised of immigrants with old-world values in which the women's equality movement had not yet gained traction. The Leningrad trials did, however, cause an uptick in popular mobilization in late 1970, as Zalmanson-Kuznetsov's film suggests. Protests during the trials were arguably the biggest public gatherings to date, the largest drawing an estimated crowd of 30,000 in Tel Aviv. Thousands more went to the Western Wall to support hunger strikes begun by former Prisoners of Zion.
Why did the hijackers appeal so powerfully to Israelis, even those with no personal ties to Russia? Evidently, the hijackers' bravery showed Israelis that the conspirators fit Zionist archetypes of self-empowered Jews, no longer hapless victims of repressive, anti-Semitic governments.[8] A nationalist "call to arms" was especially timely at this moment; the euphoric afterglow of the Six-Day War had begun to fade into a bleaker national mood arising from the bloody War of Attrition between Israel, Egypt, and its allies from 1968–1970. With their courage on clear display, the hijackers seemed more "Israeli" than diasporic and, therefore, worthy of support. They also offered a unifying cause for a war-weary country increasingly skeptical of its national leadership.
Mass popularity of the movement did not last long after the trial, however. If public opinion polling at the time can be trusted, a majority of Israelis did not think more assertive actions were needed by their government on behalf of Soviet Jewry, despite the urgings of domestic advocacy organizations.[9] Unlike Jewish communities in the diaspora, after the Leningrad trials most non-Russian speaking Israelis withdrew from sustained engagement in the campaign for two reasons. First, for Israelis more immediate predicaments overshadowed the fate of refuseniks; among these were the domestic crisis of confidence resulting from the 1973 Yom Kippur War and the upheavals that followed what the public viewed as a national tragedy and political fiasco. Secondly, Israelis could not travel to the USSR. This disconnection from Soviet Jews in situ probably took some of the wind out of the movement's sails. Third, an absence of Soviet diplomatic presence in Israel after June 1967 made it difficult to sustain popular enthusiasm in lieu of specific sites for protest.
Added to those factors, less objective dynamics contributed to ambivalence about the Soviet Jewry issue among Israelis. For starters, diaspora activists campaigned from a sense of individual responsibility without an expectation that their home countries would act. By contrast, most Israelis probably felt less of a personal obligation to mobilize because their own government proclaimed itself a protector of Jews worldwide. Secondly, the Israeli left had been aligned with the socialist world (with Moscow at its center) at least until Stalin's death. Even after Khrushchev's "Secret Speech" in 1956, a growing recognition in Israel's leftist elite of Soviet sins coexisted with ongoing contacts to global socialist networks. When no doubt remained, starting in the second half of the 1960s, that Moscow functioned as the political patron and arsenal for Israel's hostile neighbors, many Israelis still kept contacts open with the Soviet Union and Russian culture. In parallel, some Israelis feared having their country categorized as a mere American pawn in the Cold War, making them hesitant to close all windows of opportunity with the Soviet Union. Lastly, the very act of hijacking must have disturbed some Israelis in the 1970s, given the rash of Palestinian attacks against El Al and other airlines.
Many former Israeli activists and historians believe that the Leningrad trials brought diaspora advocacy groups in the Americas and Western Europe closer to the aggressive public relations tactics promoted by Israel's secretive Nativ agency. According to this line of thought, gravitation toward Nativ provided Israel greater influence over organizations like the National Council for Soviet Jewry, the first umbrella organization for groups in the U.S. advocating for Soviet Jews.[10] Archival records, however, do not substantiate this stance. And no matter how hard advocacy organizations lobbied, fluctuations between crises of the moment and détente guided policies toward Moscow much more than human rights considerations for the Nixon and Ford administrations. That being said, we must keep in mind that the Soviet Jewry movement did become a political and legislative flashpoint in many places and the United States. Developments in Congress stand out, particularly the Jackson-Vanik and the Stevenson amendments.[11] In this case, humanitarian concern for the plight of refuseniks, lingering Cold War ideologies among the amendment's proponents, and the pressures of electoral politics coalesced into groundbreaking legislation linking international trade policy to protection of human rights in a foreign country, namely the USSR. As an illustration of their ambivalence, Israeli officials voiced a variety of positions regarding passage of the amendments.[12]
Israel's government never energetically cultivated public awareness in Israel about the Soviet Jewry movement, even during the Leningrad trials. To the chagrin of many, it still does not. The lack of urgency probably emanated mostly from domestic realities: until the former Prisoner of Zion Natan Sharansky entered Israel's electoral system in the late 1980s following his release from the USSR, no major Israeli politician prioritized Soviet Jewry. Before that, voluntary associations (Magen and Ma'oz, led mostly by Russian speakers and student groups) had to nudge the state toward visible action.[13] Israel's government always believed that diplomatic restraint would best advance the cause of open immigration for Soviet Jews.[14] When faced with growing public demands for action during the Leningrad trials, the government created the non-partisan, semi-official Public Council for Soviet Jewry, which succeeded in drowning out some of the more belligerent voices among the advocacy organizations manned by Soviet emigres.[15] For most Israelis, the events in Leningrad seemed to affirm a core feature of their own evolving national narrative, through which a Zionist impulse for emigration to Israel underpinned national awakening and empowerment. This process seemed to be spreading among Soviet Jews, thereby "proving" to Israelis the centrality of their own country for the Jewish world. Israeli leaders and the public had less bandwidth to hear and absorb other voices among advocates in the diaspora campaigning for freedom of movement or religious liberties inside the USSR, instead of the right to emigrate to Israel.[16] Fewer still would have had listened to another fact that did not conform to Israel's national narrative: large numbers of Soviet Jews went about their lives in relative contentment and had no greater desire to leave than did other Soviet citizens.
This tension between the singular ethno-nationalism that Israelis wanted—personified by the Leningrad hijackers—versus the layered truths of Soviet Jewish life emerged in the mid-1970s in what became known as the "drop-out" crisis.[17] For reasons discussed elsewhere,[18] starting in the late 1960s (and for the first time since the 1920s) the Soviet Union began opening its gates for significant emigration of Jews, predicated on exit visas issued to Israel. Until approximately 1974, almost all these emigrants flew to Tel Aviv. Starting that year, however, tens of thousands Soviet Jews demanded the right to migrate to other destinations in the West once they reached the designated transit stops in Rome and Vienna. This scene kindled acute conflict between Jerusalem and American-Jewish service organizations who had taken upon themselves the passage of Soviet Jews from the European airports to Tel Aviv. The Israeli government demanded that all emigrants continue to Israel; activists in the diaspora, by and large, respected the desires of these refugees. Stakes were high for Israel, given the swelling numbers of Soviet Jews allowed exit visas through the 1970s. In fact, by helping to open the doors for large-scale emigration from the USSR and the "drop-out" crisis it precipitated, the Leningrad hijackers unwittingly sowed the seeds of the current rift between Israel's leadership and progressive communities in the diaspora.[19]
Current Russia-Israel Ties through the Prism of the Leningrad Hijacking
Debates about this period continue today, arising from awkward gaps between collective memory, historical accuracy, and personal sensitivities. For example, during the panel discussion in June, disagreement surfaced around the word "hijackers." To some, it sounded offensive when applied to the heroes of the Leningrad Affair. For a scholar, the term "hijackers" seems suitable when discussing people who planned to forcibly take over a commercial airliner, no matter their justification or destination. Another disagreement arose regarding Israel's role in the global Soviet Jewry movement. On one side are those who promote an Israeli version—based mostly on accounts of former officials—that its agents orchestrated advocacy movements in the diaspora.[20] On another side are former activists in the diaspora and scholars who see only episodic Israeli influence.[21] Comparable gaps between popular memory and the historical record still cloud the Israel-Russia relationship, dividing those who prefer to see an enduring, if imperfect, kinship between the peoples versus those who view the present and future through a prism of Russia's centuries-long repression of Jews.[22]
In sum, developments in Israel during the Leningrad Affair of 1970 illustrate the coexistence of powerful collective memories with complex ethno-politics in countries hosting large diasporic communities. Dealing with the Soviet Union meant confronting an illiberal state that at once repressed Israel's brethren, supplied weapons to their enemies, and also occupied a warm place in many Israeli hearts. Whether such meetings of past and present threading through the current Moscow-Jerusalem relationship serve—then and now—as roadmaps, obstacles, or opportunities depends upon leaders of the moment and their objectives.

Chronicles and The Reading Edge, recorded at the Pepsi Podcast Playground at the South by Southwest Interactive conference in Austin, Texas on March 14, 2010.
We talked about the panels we went to, the conference in general, the use of geolocation technology like Gowalla and Foursquare, the geek celeb culture, online privacy, and plenty of other topics.

There's a part of me that is really impatient with the whole user-as-victim thing when it comes to online privacy. Yes, sites are collecting information about us. And if we are adults, it is incumbent upon us to protect ourselves.
As with everything else in life, we must behave responsibly and champion our own welfare. We can't legitimately blame Facebook or Twitter or online banking if we are behaving like helpless children and act carelessly with our own personal information.
Hello, Facebookers! I want to encourage you to do these things. Read. Understand. Act in your own best interest. If you can't do these things for yourself, then get the hell off the interwebz.
This is the 21st century. Join it!
PS – But no matter how Grumpy I am, I will still direct people when they ask, because at least they want to know how to protect themselves!
I seem to see everything in new media lately with a male/female lens- but I found it interesting that Annie and Sarah both were aware of an A- lister vs. everyone else sensibility at SXSW and Mike felt that the atmosphere was much more inclusive. I wasn't at SXSW but often feel myself aware of the internet "celebrity culture" and the how many followers can you get social media marathon. Is it that women feel less entitled in general that make us more aware of the cliques we are not a part of and of the "will you serve my ego by coming to the restaurant that I tweet I am eating at" manipulation-and is it the man's natural sense of entitlement that assumes leo laporte is tweeting his lunch plans because he is really dying to meet me?
And, on internet privacy (thanks for a great show guys! as usual you got my engines revved)- I have a thirteen year old niece and I often will click through when she comments on a friend's status. I am amazed by how many of her thirteen year old girl friends have both their walls and their photos available to the public. Often relatively suggestive photos. Again I can't help but wonder why a thirteen year old girl- from a online savvy generation has chosen to make her photos public (lets not even get into why their parents allow it and what their parents do or dont' know about online privacy). Could it be that these young girls love the positive reinforcement they get from their suggestive photos? What does that say about how we have taught are youngest generation to value themselves….
Hello, Neat post. There's an issue with your site in internet explorer, would test this?
go back the choose?.I'm trying to in finding issues to enhance my web site!I guess its adequate to use some of your ideas!!

Super Rewards brings its offer-based virtual currency to the web (what's it worth?)
Eric Eldon	 April 1, 2009 2:26 PM
Super Rewards is expanding its virtual currency from social networking applications to the entire web today. So far, this currency has been a good way to make money for social networking applications like Mob Wars (pictured) — some apps are making more than $1 million a month with its help. Like rivals such as OfferPal, Peanut Labs and Gambit, Super Rewards offers what amounts to an incentive-based marketing service where users can click on advertisers' offers to receive points they can use to buy things like virtual items in an online game.
But how much money will be developers be able to make on these sorts of offers going forward? Some critics wonder if offers will lose value the same way that incentive-based banner ads (like "win a free iPod") did on the web over the last decade. It may be that virtual currencies stay valuable in the long run only through users paying real money to get virtual money. Vancouver, Canada and San Francisco-based Super Rewards is doing both, at least. It tells ReadWriteWeb that it gets about 75 percent of its revenue from advertising offers, with the other 25 percent coming from an option to buy goods directly using real money in credit cards and other forms of payment.
Here's more on the issues around incentive-based advertising, from a recent and scathing post by Niki Scevak, founder of real estate agent and lender review site Homethinking:
[C]ustomers or leads who have signed up through incentive marketing turned out to be the worst ever. At the first Leadscon in Vegas last year many presenters used the 'Free iPod' guys as a throw away line for terrible lead quality. The average length of a customer if they signed up for a subscription product was 6 months and leads received through the mechanism were of terrible quality. And guess what? The incentive marketing folks were the largest buyers of social networking traffic in its nascent stage. Although Facebook applications reach users efficiently through engaging them in fun and useful games vs the free ipod guys showing display ads alongside social networking sites, the source of the traffic is essentially the same. Granted, social networking has become mainstream in the 4-5 years since the heyday of incentive marketing but the parallels are clear.
Last August, blogger Andrew Chen brought up the same issues in an article looking at the dismal history of online offer revenue. At that point, Super Rewards rival Offerpal responded with a range of reasons why its business should continue to be a good one. It said it works with developers to build better game mechanics for offers, it optimizes and tries to increase the number of offers that game players see — and perhaps most importantly, sees players losing interest in games themselves faster than they stop using offers.
I asked Super Rewards chief executive Jason Bailey about these issues. More than six months later, the data he provides below seems to support his rival's points:
"90 percent of new advertisers coming into our channel find substantial value in the leads that we generate and continue as Super Rewards customers month after month. While we do provide consumers a token virtual currency incentive, this is purely for entertainment, with no transferable economic value, a far cry from the free-iPod or cash back practices that caused problems during the bubble. The market has come a very long way since that time and is much more transparent to all parties involved, advertisers, publishers and consumers. We work proactively today with all our advertisers to find the right pricing for their leads, examining relative conversion on our platform versus other advertising channels. An auto insurance quote provider may pay $10 per lead generated through search or email, while through our virtual currency channel they may only pay $6, but get the same performance. Our list of top 10 advertisers is a who's who of online direct marketing leaders, most of which who have been with us from the beginning and who see Super Rewards as one of their top sources of leads.
So who's going to keep using Super Rewards and its ilk?
Netflix, Blockbuster and Columbia House are highly sophisticated companies with strong analytical tracking technologies who specialize in comparing customer acquisition cost to lifetime customer value. We have worked together to figure out the value of leads in our system long ago, and continue to refine the platform targeting, advertising creative and incentive threshold to maximize performance. The social application channel has been proven out over the past 15 months with advertisers demanding more and more traffic. The average advertiser cost per lead across our platform today is 50% higher today than it was 12 months ago. That doesn't look like doom to us…
Those numbers sound like they're going in the right direction. But offers on social networks are still a relatively new way of making money. Perhaps, as Scevak put it in his post, "[i]nstead of Netflix being willing to pay $9 for each wannabe Mob boss who signs up to a trial, they'll pay $3. And the monetization metrics of Facebook apps will plummet."
However the offers market ends up in the long run, today's move by Super Rewards is a good one. Aiming for the entire web could increase its number of clients, and so the number of people willing to pay real money for virtual money.

As people around the world gear up for the holiday season, countless families descend on Chicago to see the city's sights and sounds as they celebrate with their families. While the Art Institute and the Willis Tower may hold appeal for adults, the city's holiday festivities are kid-friendly fun that your whole family can enjoy.
A Christmas Carol: Charles Dickens' classic tale of Ebenezer Scrooge taking account of his life over Christmas is a theatrical experience you can't miss this holiday season. The Goodman Theatre puts up a limited-run production of this holiday favorite, starting the second week of December.
Caroling at Cloud Gate: If your children love the music of the holiday season, but you're less than enthused about the idea of traipsing from door to door in the blistering Chicago cold, take your family to Millennium Park's Cloud Gate on a Friday from November 27th to December 18th. Many of the Chicago area's premier choirs perform holiday classics for free at this charming holiday celebration.
Christkindlmarket: Inspired by Europe's Christmas markets, this open-air market is the largest in the city and is the kind of holiday fun both adults and kids will enjoy. Peruse stall after stall of beautiful, handmade gifts for everyone on your list, and stop for a bite at one of the many vendors selling traditional German treats.
ZooLights: The Lincoln Park Zoo is always a hit for families, and the holiday season is no exception. Wow your little ones with a trip to see the ZooLights, a beautiful light display that takes place throughout the zoo. Once you're done oohing and aahing, you can enjoy the rest of the winter merriment the zoo has to offer, from skating to ice carving.
The Nutcracker: Start a new holiday tradition this year by taking the kids in your family to see a performance of the classic Nutcracker ballet at Auditorium Theatre. The Tchaikovsky-scored ballet is performed by the Joffrey Ballet company, one of the world's premiere dance troupes, and provides hours of fun and festive entertainment that will be enjoyed by kids and adults alike.
Don't let the cold weather keep you holed up at home — embrace the holiday spirit in Chicago style with a trip to one of the city's many exciting winter events and celebrations.
Wow! Awesome pictures. You've really nailed it, I think; if I didn't have other plans, I would totally be heading to Chicago for Christmas. Maybe next year. Thanks for sharing (and educating!).
I'm glad to hear that my article inspires you to travel to Chicago, and enjoy in all the festive activities the city has to offer. Happy Holidays!

Thanks to my equally food obsessed roomie I have found one of Brighton´s treasures, in my opinion more frequented by locals: The Open Market. While during the week most stands "only" sell local fruits and vegetables for basically no money at all (all the bowls you see below are one pound!) during the week, there are also stands for all things vintage from jewelry to a beautiful worldmap that I had to force myself not to buy. Next to this there is a variety of cafés within the market ranging from Middle Eastern kitchen to delicious baked goods. There was also a wonderful bookshop with all kinds of classics and a vintage clothes store, which completed my list of things I love and spend too much money on.
The market is open every day during the week from 9 to 5 and on weekends from 10 to 5. Sundays are optional opening days so not all stalls might be open, but I would recommend a visit any day, even just to have a look around (and save a lot of money on your weekly shopping). The Open Market is easily accessible by foot from the city centre of Brighton or by a variety of busses either stopping at the Open Market or London Road shops.


Poinsettias have long-lasting blooms so their colorful bracts (flowers) remain showy for several months. During this time, side shoots develop below the bracts. To have a well-shaped plant the following year, cut each of the old flowering stems or branches back so that they are about 4″-6″tall. Leave one to three leaves on each of the old stems; new growth comes from buds located in the leaf axils along these stems. Cutting the plant back in February or early March helps the buds grow and develop. Keep your Poinsettia in a sunny area where the temperature is between 60° and 70°and fertilize every 2 weeks.
Between July and the first week in August prune all the stems to about 4 inches inheight, leaving one to three leaves on each stem.
In order for the Poinsettia bracts to turn color again, the plant must be kept in complete darkness for 12-15 hours from the end of September until color shows in the bracts in early to mid-December. The temperature should remain between 60° and 70°. Night temperatures above 70° to 75° may delay or prevent the plant from turning color. Hopefully you'll have a beautiful plant in time for Christmas.


Canary Disease What YOU MUST Do!!
When you realize any of the symptoms act fast and exactly when you notice it because that means your canary is getting weak and can't handle trying to hide its disease. In other words, your bird is near its death point so you MUST, I repeat, MUST help it before it's too late.
Darren's Note: Absolutely right L.M. A sick canary will hide it's illness as long as possible. So, when you actually see the symptoms your bird is VERY sick and getting worse all the time. Thanks L.M.
looks very useful information, i don,t know about this question but i will come again and write answer of this question .
