Q: Discord js delete message after 2 seconds I am trying to make my discord bot delete its message 2 seconds after is has been sent.
My current code for the message:
interaction.reply("You have removed $" + amount + " from @" + user.username + ". New balance: $" + receiverNewBalance + ".")
.then(msg => {
  setTimeout(() => msg.delete(), 20000);
})
.catch(
  interaction.channel.send("Error! [message could not be deleted]")
);

However when running it gives me this error:
TypeError: msg.delete is not a function

I don't understand why this does not work as it has worked for my older bots from the past. If discord js was updated and now it's different what is the new code I would need.

A: CommandInteraction#reply() in v13 returns undefined, and ChatInputCommandInteraction#reply() in v14 returns an InteractionResponse. They both however return a Message object if the fetchReply option is set to a truthy value. You however don't need this, because you can simply use .deleteReply() (v13 docs) on the interaction
.then(() =>
  setTimeout(
    () => interaction.deleteReply(),
    2_000 // not sure if you wanted 2000 (2s) or 20000 (20s)
  )
)

Hi , according to the Aquarian horoscopes I have been reading for 2012 it's all about changes. Just wondering if any of you aquarians have been experiencing any life changes ? Because I most certainly am not. Would I like some maybe ? But is it naturally happening as the horoscopes say not for me it isn't. All I have been reading in astrology for Aquarius for the year 2012 we are expected to go through some life changes. I'm just wondering if anyone has a story to share.
New job, new city, and lost a fiance.
I just moved out of the place i'd lived for years, finally ended my lonely streak by finding a significant other, and feel as though this year is the best of my life.
Went snowboarding, got depressed, smoked some drugs, became a caveman, found a book, bounced out of the caveman, got a new philosophy on life, lost some friends, made some new friends, decided to write a book, spent more time with family, met some family I'd never met before, bought an amazing new guitar, got promoted at work, hated the job but now I love it, now making a huge effort to get back together with my ex for the good of us and our children…all in all its been one of the most memorable years of my life, not sure about best, I've been up & down like a yo-yo but it's been like no other year and thats for sure.
Do you think Aquarius loves drama?

Pharrell Williams, Zimmer create 'Spidey' opera
In this Tuesday, March 25, 2014 photo, Pharrell, left, and Hans Zimmer pose at The Standard Hotel during press day for their collaboration on the soundtrack for "The Amazing Spider-Man 2," in Los Angeles. The film releases May 2, 2014. (Photo by Casey Curry/Invision/AP)
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Director Marc Webb and famed composer Hans Zimmer assembled a supergroup of influential recording artists, including the "Happy" chart topper Pharrell Williams, for "The Amazing Spider-Man 2."
The hope was that everyone working together would spark creativity, but Zimmer had no idea how far that creativity would go until Williams took a walk around the block.
"We wrote an opera. So, who would've thunk it?" Zimmer said. "It just came out of a conversation with Marc that came out of all these ideas and suddenly, you know, there was this great moment where (Pharrell) was so excited because of all these ideas. I could see all of these ideas sort of flying in his head and he said, 'Stop. I just have to walk around the block, literally.' We sat there and he walked around the block and came back with two pages of lyrics. Amazing. It was amazing but it was that sort of environment."
Other members of Spidey's supergroup included Johnny Marr, founding member of The Smiths, and Michael Einziger, founder and guitarist for Incubus. The soundtrack also includes a collaboration between Alicia Keys and Kendrick Lamar.
Williams said things came together despite the presence of these high-end musicians from all parts of the music world.
"Yeah, it was very harmonious," he said in an interview last week. "The atmosphere, it wasn't a clash of the egos. It was more like everything just fit into place in a really wonderful way and of course Hans being at the helm of what we would call leadership. He allowed for everyone to have a voice and for everyone to have their creative space and for that space to count."
That creativity spilled over into the film, which opens May 2, as Webber became so inspired by the work he made a change in the movie.
"I suppose I don't think it's a secret anymore but suddenly the Sinister Six were sort of introduced into the movie because we had a theme for them and it became irresistible to go and shoot these scenes," Zimmer said.
While Zimmer and Williams come from different worlds — evidenced at the interview by their opposite fashion styles with Zimmer in a dark brown metallic suit and Williams in one of his famous black oversized hats, a letterman jacket, jeans and several gold chains — the two see eye-to-eye when it comes to creating music. Williams said he learned there is no ceiling.
"You are supposed to be creative, but you are supposed to do something that is going to be harmoniously and kinesthetically rewarding to the film," Williams said. "It's almost like when you add the visual and the audio together is where you get the third brand new element that is introduced and that is the feeling. But when those two are separate, you are hard-pressed to get to the feeling. So I feel like in this particular situation we had enough room to sort of create music and have it be expansive from the inside."

There is no greater joy a man can express than knowing God so loved the world to give His only begotten Son and through that gift receive so many spiritual blessings. Never before in the history of man has there a time when men could enjoy from the treasure house of God the eternal blessings as those found in Jesus Christ. Job, Noah, Abraham, Moses and David knew the salvation of God but could never imagine the fulfillment of living under the law of Christ and the redeeming blood of God. Paul begins his letter to Ephesus proclaiming the immeasurable blessings each Christian enjoys from the incredible grace of God. The blood of bulls and goats is not the saving measure of salvation in Christ but the precious blood of the Son of God. With all the thousands of sacrifices made through the centuries seeking to redeem man none could take away sin but the blood of Jesus. Every Christian remembers the sacrifice of Jesus when they take of the Lord's Supper and what a time of thanksgiving this should be. There was nothing man could do to save himself but Jesus died to save man. Each day should be an expression of love for the incredible gift of God giving His Son who willingly allowed man to kill Him on the cross. As He was dying Jesus prayed the Father to forgive those who were killing Him. Rising from the dead on the third day, God gave all men the opportunity to know the spiritual blessings of redemption in Christ if they would come to Him and obey Him. Living life without the guilt of sin is a blessing. Knowing we are redeemed by the blood of Christ is a blessing. Seeing the wrath of God removed is an eternal blessing of knowing eternal life promised is eternal life given.
All spiritual blessings are in Christ. Forgiveness first came in obedience to the will of the Lord when a man is baptized into Christ. Putting on Christ in baptism is the moment the blood of Jesus washes away all sins and purifies the spirit of man to stand whole and clean before the Father. What a joy to know that all sins are taken away as far as the east is from the west and the wrath of God is taken away. In Christ a man enjoys the joy of forgiveness. Through prayer and supplication with sorrowful hearts, children of God seek the forgiveness of sins and the Father takes the sin away. This cannot be done outside of Christ until a person in obedient faith is subject to the plan of salvation. Peter told the first disciples on Pentecost to repent and be baptized for the remission of sins. When they obeyed the word of the Lord their sins were remitted. The spiritual blessing of forgiveness is only found through Christ and in Christ. Prayer is an avenue enjoyed by the children of God alone. A man outside of Christ can seek God and find Him but the joy of continued communication with the Father and asking for all the spiritual blessings is something only found in Christ. Only the children of God can call the Father, "Abba." To be an heir with Christ one must be in Christ. Inheritance only comes to those who are part of the family of God and this can only be found in the spiritual blessings in Christ. How blessed it is to be in Christ and receive the blessings of a loving and caring Father. He gladly bestows His bounty upon His children to care for them, watch over them and bless them with His presence, His word and His love.
All spiritual blessings are in Christ and should never be taken for granted. Worship is a time to sing praises to the Father who saved His children through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The church is made up of saints who are blessed with His love. Thanksgiving must always be on the heart of those who know the Father's love. Being together with fellow brothers and sisters in Christ is one of the greatest joys in the spiritual trove of blessings in Christ. Praying for one another is a blessing in Christ. Lifting one another up is a blessing in Christ. Exhorting, encouraging, admonishing and challenging one another is what makes the blessings in Christ so important and vital to the life of a Christian. All of God's family is blessed with the knowledge they share the same Father and He blesses all of His children with their needs in full proportion. Give praise to God for all the spiritual blessings enjoyed in being a child of God.

State-of-the-Art Indoor Instructional Facility Opens at Meadowlands CC
BLUE BELL, Pa. — (August 15, 2006) – There are many people in the golf industry who talk about Growth of the Game initiatives. Unfortunately, far fewer actually do something about it.
The membership at Meadowlands CC, the private country club situated in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, is joining with the husband-and-wife professional team of Paul and Jennifer Barnsley to take strong action toward growing the game.
Today, Meadowlands debuted its new, state-of-the-art instructional facility that is unlike anything in the region. Along with the club's fine practice range, outstanding short game practice area, and two spacious putting greens, Meadowlands now offers the most complete facility for teaching the game of golf – to everyone from novice golfers to the most accomplished players. And, Meadowlands invites anyone – members as well as non-members – to take advantage of its instructional program.
"We decided that the best way to grow our club was to make it the best place in the area to learn to play the game," said Rich Ochroch, Meadowlands green chairman and one of the driving forces behind the project. "We already had a very playable and enjoyable members' course that was not intimidating and provided a wonderful golf experience for any level of player. With the help of Paul and Jennifer Barnsley, we added the rest of the components."
The major component is the indoor instructional facility, a golf studio that rivals the ones at the big-name golf academies throughout the south. The Barnsleys gained
experience in a high-level golf academy during their 10-year tenure at the Hank Haney Golf School in Texas. Many of the features found at that facility have been brought north to Meadowlands.
The spacious golf studio features the latest Vector Pro Launch Monitor system for swing analysis. The monitor analyzes and displays statistical evidence on everything from swing speed, ball speed, launch angle, spin rates and much more.
Also, the room features three video cameras, mounted a different angles to capture down-the-line and face-on views.
The ultimate in quality reproduction is ensured by a series of ultra-bright klieg lights that allow the fastest camera shutter speeds so that the swing can be illustrated without blurring.
The final enhancement is provided through the ability of the instructors to e-mail video footage of a student's swing, with voice analysis over top of the video.
"The beauty of the whole program is that students usually go away to a golf school, then have no place to go for reinforcement," explained Paul Barnsley. "Now, they can get the same high level of instruction and technology that is offered at a school like Hank Haney's, but they can then drive a few minutes to come back for future lessons or if they have a problem."
In the fall, the Barnsleys are offering a series of one-day golf schools that will be open to the public. The schools, with a 4-to-1 pupil-instructor ratio, also offer a free follow-up lesson available at a later date.
For more information about Meadowlands CC and its unique instructional programs, go to the website at www.meadowlandscc.com or call the pro shop at 215-646-5833.

Kliff Kingsbury doesn't call out players publicly or privately
in Broadcasting Mediums
In four seasons, you will be hard-pressed to find a quote from Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury calling out a player or criticizing him publicly. This is in stark contrast to Bruce Arians, who was head coach from 2013-2017, who often had public criticism of players.
This is a great trait in many ways, as it endears players to him.
Buy Cardinals Tickets
However, usually coaches like this also will say what needs to be said behind closed doors.
Kingsbury's approach with players in front of the team is apparently the same as his public persona.
That might be part of the Cardinals' on-field issues.
According to an ESPN report from Jeremy Fowler and Josh Weinfuss, Kingsbury avoids confrontation with players and chooses to refer to mistakes generally, according to a former player.
"It's a very comfortable work environment, but he won't rip anybody, and if the head coach won't do it, it's hard for the offensive guard to do it," the player said. "I think that's some of what's gone on with the QB." A team source added that Kingsbury's personality doesn't lend to calling players out.
The Cardinals have been one of the most-penalized teams over the last two seasons. While players should hold themselves and each other accountable, if the coach isn't going to call players out, it is hard for teammates to do it.
It is one of many, many things that apparently ail the Cardinals.

Q: White space below footer only in IE I am building a Wordpress blog for my company and I picked a theme I thought would go well with our business. I have added widgetized areas to the footer to facilitate easy customization. When the page loads, a weird white space is below the footer, but this only happens in IE. In Chrome, when I am at the bottom and refresh the page, I can see the white space, but it disappears as soon as the page loads.  The page renders correctly in everything but IE. Any help getting rid of this would be greatly appreciated.
Here is a live link to the blog.

A: There are a couple of things you could try.

*

*Remove the line-height: 1 from the .fb_reset class, because the #fb-root div is essentially empy this shouldn't render — however IE might get confused.

*Add an overflow: hidden to your #footer and #container elements.


Happy Birthday to everyone born in October!
October babies actually have two birthstones, Opal and Tourmaline.
Opal is a symbol of hope, fidelity, and purity. This gemstone has the ability to diffract light exhibiting every color in the visible spectrum. Opal is a soft gemstone and should be handled with care to avoid scratching and chipping.
Tourmaline was believed to encourage artistic intuition and to express every mood. This gemstone has a variety of colors. It is common to find Tourmaline crystals that are multicolored. Avoid exposure to harsh abrasives and strong chemical solvents.


You will come away with new perspectives, new inspirations, and a renewed passion for life.
Why are we so sure about this? Because we've seen it happen for so many people during the Tao Meditation Retreats – and we know it can happen for you.
Just 16 miles southwest of Uptown Sedona, in the midst of the Coconino National Forest, lies Sedona Mago Retreat. This blooming desert land, surrounded by red rocks, Native American ruins, and mountains, has been a place of healing and transformation for over 40 years. Named for Mago, which means ancient mother in Asian cultures, this beautiful solitary land has a magical quality to unfold our innermost stories.
Meditation works. The International Journal of Neuroscience (1982) found that those practicing meditation for more than five years were physiologically 12 years younger than their chronological age, measured by reduction of blood pressure, better near-point vision, and auditory discrimination. Short-term meditators were physiologically five years younger than their chronological age.
It's a proven method to leave a lasting and positive impact on your mind, body, and spirit. If you have never tried it before, let us assure you that it's not just for yogis. Meditation is for everyone! Wherever you are on the contemplative continuum, the energetic vibration of Sedona will accelerate and deepen your practice.
Our Tao Meditation Retreat offers opportunities to meditate and reflect individually as well as with a group. Explore your inner landscape deeply then join with others and receive new perspectives, experience the support of community, and just have some fun.

As an affiliate, you're always looking for trending offers, hot traffic sources, and popular ad formats that will give you an edge over the competition.
Each year, we bring you exclusive insights from some of the most respected names in the business, to help you stay informed about the ever-changing affiliate landscape.
A lot has changed since our previous annual roundup of affiliate masterminds, and with further changes yet to come, it's time to review the industry trends and threats that are set to dominate the market in 2022.
I also take this chance to thank all pros and specialists who took time from their busy schedules to give us their insights and, without further ado, read on to find out their forecasts on rapidly shifting industry trends, including how affiliate tracking will be affected by the phasing out of browser cookies and how new policies and restrictions could impact your work stream.
"More affiliates are focusing on list-building to combat rising traffic prices.
More NFT-related affiliate programs and offers will come on the market, and this will be one of the hottest verticals in the next while.
More affiliates are moving from FB to TikTok – some are buying paid advertising, and others are capitalizing on organic Tiktok traffic."
"I predict that in 2022 we will see two significant trends in affiliate marketing:
1) Tiktok will become the traffic source of choice for affiliates marketers after ten years of Facebook dominance. Affiliates with the capabilities to produce original content for creatives o work closely with influencers will have the edge over those that don't.
2) Affiliates will favor networks that have exclusive/in-house offers such as Exclusive by Mobidea, specializing in the CC submit vertical, or working with direct advertisers because of the increasing competition for traffic, which has shrunk the margin or affiliates in the past years."
"Affiliate Marketing difficulty is going to continue to rise. AI policing and detection of uncompliant ads/landing pages/offers is getting better every single day. There are way more policies now than ever. Traffic Sources are adding more and more reviewers to ensure they meet the expectations of the new 'woke' movement and protect themselves from the media's potential shunning.
We used to be able to sell benefits, but nowadays it's more and more about selling features of an offer to be compliant. Advertisers are getting a squeeze from credit card companies, phone operators, and suppliers so they are coming up with more and more rules for affiliates to follow. Like must show all creatives, can't do this, can't do that.
It's possible to make money as an affiliate marketer in 2022 but it requires a lot of work, and you gotta have brains. Gone are the days of turning $100 into $1000 just like that.
In terms of verticals, lead-gen is a great one to focus on as that's real value to the advertiser, also to the end-user and there being honest in your ads is the key to generating high quality leads for the advertiser. Think solar, mortgage, remodel, window replacement, lead gen offers, etc. There's also a huge demand for $$$ so financial lead gen, app installs in finance, casino, and gambling are also going to be huge in 2022.
Dating especially niched dating is growing as more and more users are online. There's huge potential to promote offers related to Meta aka Virtual Reality as well."
"In 2022, Zeropark is not expecting to see any major changes within the platform. Pop will remain a solid choice not only for beginners but also for affiliates looking for reliable options to scale campaigns. Domain redirect will remain stable and push is expected to continue growing as it is the current most popular ad format among our advertisers.
As for the industry, new verticals might come into prominence. Over the previous year, there has been a growing trend towards sports betting and crypto so this is something we expect to become even bigger in 2022. Restrictions regarding that vertical in Latin America and US regions have been loosening so we've noted a spike of interest already and we're planning to hopefully match the supply with the increasing demand.
Lastly, it looks like e-commerce, sweepstakes, and home catering will remain Zeropark's strongest verticals."

Beginner's Guide to Cookieless Affiliate Marketing [FAQ]
"The main values in 2022 will be testing and scaling. The future is definitely in the sources that provide volumes, flagship features, unique GEOs, advanced targeting, and automation. Everything that will save time and budget.
Speaking about verticals, Antiviruses, Gambling, and Crypto will rule this year (let's not forget about massive sports events).
Traffic types are also not standing still. On the contrary, they are being constantly developed. Except for usual web push ads, in-page push and calendar push traffic will be viral in 2022. Don't forget about new traffic types. For example, direct click traffic now has 10 times higher CR than pop ads."

9 Effective Strategies to Scale Ad Campaigns
"Brands will become more data-driven – Brands are getting more and more interested in understanding the base value of their affiliate programs and how that can help them grow in line with their goals. Data-driven affiliate marketing enables an outcome-based future, it creates opportunities for more strategic moves, tighter and better audience reach, and of course, measurable results.
AI and automation will transform the industry – AI and ML have already taken the industry by storm. AI is already making an impact by assisting affiliates with better content for link placement, helping to analyze customer behavior, increasing engagement through more intelligent chatbots and autoresponders, optimizing SEO-specific marketing strategies, and helping to combat fraud.
Increasing popularity of e-commerce – The E-commerce sector is quickly growing as the Internet becomes more accessible throughout the world. The rise in the use of mobile devices has significantly contributed to the growth of e-commerce. Improved consumer experience, personalization, ease of transactions, absence of the constraints of a physical presence and interactions, all this adds value for people and make it more likely for them to shop online.
Crypto offers will become #1 on the market – Cryptocurrencies have become one of the most prospective verticals in affiliate marketing. The interest in this area is constantly growing with new users learning about crypto and getting ready to invest. With the recent growth of Bitcoin and evolving mass adoption throughout the world, more people will tend to engage in various crypto transactions from trading to investment, which therefore, creates massive opportunities for affiliate marketing."

3 Tips To Properly Run Sweepstakes Offers
How to Choose Converting Utility Offers for Your Advertising Campaigns
"The main trends in 2022 will still be social apps (a great example is TikTok, which took 1st place in all the lists of the most popular apps in the world). CPI offers will remain the easiest to work with, they are suitable both for beginners and for those who have been in the market for a long time. Such offers allow you to get huge profits in a short period of time, with the most important thing being to test different channels and approaches.
In addition to this, VPN services are also gaining momentum, although there are some challenges with them. The main issue is that they are very quickly removed from the app store. Thus, if you work with such offers, you need to get used to the fact that they live for a week at most.
Numerous new traffic sources appear, which are an alternative to the classic methods, for example, TikTok advertising."
Adsterra Review
Adsterra's Head of CPM/RTB Shares Tips and Features
"I think alternative traffic sources and lead gen will continue to grow. When it comes to traffic I think people will shift from the traditional tier 1, Google, and Facebook and go towards more the T2 and T3. I have been saying this for years, but I think it will be stronger this year because of TikTok. A more full marketing ecosystem will start to grow rather than a direct response model.
Google and Facebook will never go away, but a strategy to incorporate them as a secondary platform like retargeting will be more resourceful just because you can get cheaper CPC by having them as a secondary rather than a 1st in line option.
Native and video platforms will grow. Snapchat brought attention to video ads for a generation with short attention. TikTok's attention grew because of its algorithm and there is a lot of potential with the platform. Some businesses are thriving just on TikTok alone and it is a platform to definitely get started in."
"In 2021, affiliate marketing has shown tremendous growth in various verticals including e-commerce, gambling, and health care. These numbers are likely to continue soaring in 2022, especially in CIS countries and Europe.
However, the concurrency in this industry is particularly high and ruthless, like in any other industry. Thus, for affiliate marketing trends in 2022, the following are expected:
Gamification: Polls, game elements, or bots on landing pages have been performing well at the end of 2021. This method engages the audience, and therefore it will definitely show its effectiveness in 2022
Region priority: Competition in Tier 1 countries makes promoting offers there less cost-effective. In 2022, both advertisers and webmasters will focus on Tier 2-3 GEOs
Trust: Users want to trust brands. Working on the design of landing pages that feature individual, regional and cultural approaches, payment methods improvement, flexible pricing models, and on new exclusive affiliate programs is crucial.
All of this could potentially help to build up trust and then grow sales.
We at MGID are responding to these trends by improving our contextual intelligence algorithm and AI-based content recommendation, withstanding respectively Google's cookie phase-out and ad blindness still at the core of low CTR.
And on the other hand, we are evolving our partnerships with different affiliate networks that understand these challenges and work together to delight both advertisers and webmasters."

"The affiliate marketing trend will continue its upward trajectory throughout 2022. In fact, I'd say there will be even more opportunities for newbies to get in the door quickly.
By my estimation, YouTube and the social network TikTok will be the top traffic acquisition sources for affiliate marketing. This is due to the almost insatiable demand for video from viewers.
Nevertheless, Facebook will always remain a significant source of traffic. Still, if you really want to take advantage of this traffic that will almost double by 2022, you need to start promoting your business on YouTube, TikTok, or Snapchat.
All this will lead to remarkably high competition, and only the biggest marketers will make money."
DropiSpy Review
"Even though there are various challenges the affiliate space is facing right now (end of cookies, privacy policy regulations, market monopolization, etc.), its essence will survive.
To succeed you don't have to reinvent yourself, just move forward with the industry.
Be authentic. Users want to see real people recommending and reviewing products they're genuinely interested in. Bet on thoroughly researched, original content, focusing on the audiences you really understand. With cookies or not – track everything; nothing will help you if you lack data. And definitely dig into eCommerce. The future of shopping lies online."

"The main factor affecting the tracking processes concerns the changes in cookie policies.

"Affiliate marketing is booming. According to statistics, affiliate programs are used by 80% of brands worldwide. Among the most popular ways to advertise, affiliate marketing requires little capital to enter. Considering that affiliate marketers and brands are increasingly using this technique, it's essential to know what affiliate marketing trends to watch for in 2022. The question is, how can you make money with affiliate marketing in 2022?
For the brands, data will matter. Campaign results will be measured by return on investment and sales figures. Campaigns will be optimized for success based on obtaining results. In this way, they will become much more strategic, both in how they work with the partners and in the content they create.
What is more, the budget for campaigns will increase. According to Statista, spending on affiliate marketing will reach $8 billion by the end of 2022. Influencer marketing and commission-based payment models are partly responsible for this increase.
Evadav recommends replenishing your balance of $500+ to achieve better results. Don't spend more than 50% of your budget on one campaign. The more campaigns you create, the better.
As for the trendy niches, e-commerce will be one of the leaders. Due to the ease of the buying process and the economy of time, most people nowadays prefer virtual shopping to in-store. Moreover, new technologies like, for example, Gucci or Nike Metaverses, allow you to try on various clothes in 3d virtual fitting rooms, or to see what the purse will look like in your hands. As each shop implies an ad to attract buyers' attention, e-commerce will remain a number one trendy niche in 2022.
No matter which vertical you opt for, you can make it profitable with Evadav."

"I'm always terrible at predicting the future, but it seems pretty clear that a few trends are going to continue in the affiliate marketing space for 2022.
The CPA model for bidding for traffic is here to stay. Traffic sources are scrambling to add a CPA bid model to their platforms. For affiliates, being able to set a specific CPA you pay for conversions is a way to almost guarantee a positive ROI on your campaigns which is the affiliate dream. For traffic sources, it gives them an opportunity to drive up CPMs for their publishers and continue to test non-converting zones at higher CPMs than they deserve. But, in the long run, it creates a win-win situation for everyone involved. Plus, affiliates love it and they're the ones throwing down their money!
Push traffic was supposed to die a few years ago but it's still going strong and I do not see that changing this year. In-page push has provided a nice alternative, but traditional push notifications are still converting and ad networks are still building push lists to sell traffic to.
How is 2022 going to be for affiliate marketing overall?
It seems we're going to stay on pace with how things have gone over the past few years despite a pandemic and war. Affiliate marketing and affiliates, in general, continue to show their persistence and adaptability. Onward and upward 🚀."

"We predict 2022 will see the rise of quite a few different trends.
One of the biggest trends we predict is a rise in crypto exchanges and crypto-related offers. It already has been a pretty visible trend in constant evolution. First starting as a part of finance but lately being a vertical big enough to become somehow independent from the finance category. Let's see the next steps and if De-FI tokens will follow, taking more traction and jumping from a sub-vertical to a new independent vertical. The current financial instability in big markets will cause many to look for alternative payment methods and start using crypto, including businesses.
Secondly, VPN. This vertical was already gaining popularity last year and has been on the rise since. Privacy has never been as crucial as today due to geopolitical issues and cyber attacks. Its use is not limited to protection only, but as we have seen throughout 2021, more and more people use a VPN provider to consume entertainment services that are not available in their region.
The third trend we think will become significant in 2022 is MVAS. Mobile traffic has been winning the battle by leaps and bounds over desktop traffic, which makes sense to see more MVAS offers in the market. As its name suggests, mobile value-added services, the idea behind it is to seek greater engagement with the end-user, given that we spend more and more time on mobile.
Last but not least – LeadGen (focusing on solar panels). With the energy crisis that we are going through today, it is very typical that people are increasingly aware of the power of renewable energies and are looking for long-term sustainable alternatives. We anticipate witnessing the first steps of this vertical and that over time, it will gain more and more strength."

"2022 promises to be a great year for affiliate marketing as more and more businesses are moving into the digital sphere to broaden their reach and attract more customers and users. This is something to be on the constant lookout for — the number of emerging offers and brands is continuing to increase.
However, with the growing number of players, anti-fraud and quality control play an even more crucial role with new tools being implemented and markets regulated. This means that competition for high-quality traffic will increase, and creative approaches will have a great effect on attracting the right audience.
Speaking from the position of the traffic source we take into account all these trends. That's why we're providing affiliates with more tools to help them get the most out of our traffic. Among our unique tools are Interest targeting for Push Ads, Direct Click traffic for OnClick campaigns, and auto-optimization tool – CPA Goal."

"In the past few years, the affiliate market has changed a lot, whether due to the pandemic or due to constant sanctions from social media. In 2022, the market will continue to change, social media will become even harder to work with, and affiliate marketers will look for new approaches and angles.
We also think that in 2022, affiliate marketers will increasingly tend to work in a team, which will ultimately destroy the concept of solo affiliates. As more and more people enter the market, the threshold for entry is increasing and the expectations of partners from traffic sources are also growing.
This will create healthy competition between traffic sources.
Verticals: In 2022, all verticals affected by the pandemic will begin to gain momentum again. Nutra, for instance, that was affected by the COVID is already stabilized. Crypto offers will become more and more popular, as this niche becomes more interesting to the general public. Dating and gambling will always be of interest to people, but new regulations from the law may appear for casino offers. We can also expect new GEOs for some verticals."
Push House Review

[Case Study] Adult Nutra on Push.House Like a Pro
"Coming from the adult side of the business we see shifts in market shares to new and or more professional product owners, especially within the classic verticals. These verticals are live cams, dating, games, and nutra.
There are a few new players in the market that bring fresh ideas and well-coordinated teams to the table. Affiliates and product owners show more interest in testing new approaches to classic advertising. Finally, we see dating advertisers running very good preroll videos and taking advantage of an otherwise cams and games-dominated format.
On another note, gambling brands are returning to adult traffic as well as more and more crypto advertisers who are starting to discover that they can reach their target audience here.
Also, Google's hunt for the ban of popunders on chrome continues, unfortunately. More and more publishers trust TwinRed since we provide clever solutions – our effective interstitial format being one of them. Speaking about the publisher side of the business, it needs to be mentioned that the focus there is more and more on promoting clean and professional content which is obviously a good trend.
Even though there are various challenges the affiliate space is facing right now (end of cookies, privacy policy regulations, market monopolization, etc.), its essence will survive. To succeed you don't have to reinvent yourself, just move forward with the industry.

"Due to the pandemic, we anticipate the return of Sweepstakes, as well as further strengthening of gambling, but with a possible drop of the sports betting vertical.
The VPN vertical is still going to rock, affected by both people saying home, binging themselves out with endless streamed content.
On the upper-end, for the more experienced affiliates, e-Commerce will keep its nice numbers from 2021, however, travel affiliation is not something to count on."

"Affiliate marketing is getting bigger each year and more diverse as well. In the Binom team, we see an increase in the number of newbies and professional teams.
TikTok and E-commerce are well-distinguished trends. And we can confidently say that even today, one persistent solo affiliate can compete with a decent team. You can still be a solo warrior playing by your own rules. Be open to new ideas, work with your head, and do not hesitate to experiment.
Learn some code this year and get a substantial competitive advantage – it is easier than you might think. Automate everything you can. The more actions you will automate, the more profit you will get – it is as simple as that.
Affiliate marketing will be growing with cookies or not, and trackers will adapt and help you with that."
Related content: Binom Review
"The growth of mobile traffic is a trend over the last 5 years, which will continue to gain momentum in 2022 due to an increase in the number of users, Internet speed and improvement of mobile apps. Mobile apps are more convenient than websites: better user experiences, load content faster, and are easier to use.
People use desktops mainly for work and entertainment. For everything else, there is a mobile device. Whether you need to get a taxi, book an apartment or see a movie, you pick up your iPhone, open the app, and it's done! Social media, messengers and games take up a lot of time. According to statistics people spend 85% of their smartphone time in apps.
That's why hybrid apps are booming now. Affiliate marketers use hybrid apps to promote gambling, betting, dating offers. I think this list will expand in the future. Since this is a powerful method that combines advantages of a real app and at the same time requires less development resources."

"2022 will see a significant focus on multi-channel marketing. Ultimately, it's always a game of finding new ad platforms and fighting the challenges of over-saturated channels. I predict the rise of TikTok for paid advertising and the role of influencers on that channel as well.
Another trend that many affiliates and publishers will go for is a continuous growth of interest in e-commerce – whether Shopify, WooCommerce based stores, or more niched e-com networks. I would also predict the rise of medium affiliate networks with agile tech that allows direct linking, deeper support of API integrations, and more data sent in postback."

This year's forecast predicts steep competition for high-quality traffic, a tsunami of emerging brands and offers, and continued performance gains for Push, Pop, Native, and Video.
You can also expect more focus on T2 and T3 GEOS, with huge opportunities in popular verticals, such as Nutra, Gambling, Lead Gen, and Crypto, for affiliates who make the effort to target non-English speaking audiences.
Our analysts also predict a push towards data-driven strategies and emerging technologies, together with a focus on campaign automation and bid optimization strategies across alternative traffic sources, such as TikTok and Meta.

Agglomeration of fine iron ore particles in fluidised beds used for the reduction of iron ore prompted us to assess the nature and extent of contact forces between iron particles. We used a Nanoscope Dimension 3100 series atomic force microscope inside a fluid cell, taking due account of the magnetic effects in this ferromagnetic system to measure quantitatively the magnitude of the van der Waal's force between an iron substrate and a small iron spherical tip.

Blue Tinted Specs: Whatever Happened To One Of Sven's Stars?
Picture the scene: It's a Monday afternoon, this Manchester City fan and his Wolves supporting friend are sitting down for a nice, gentle game or ten of FIFA. Now, to ask me to play as City and him as Wolves would be unfair – though he's got a knack of scoring with Kevin Doyle from the edge of the box with a finesse shot. So we randomised the teams.
And, just after my Korona Kielce came back from two goals down to win 5-3 against Kev's NEC Nijmegen, we started up the next game. Choice one: Chesterfield. No chance. Choice two: Grosseto. Could do better. Choice three: The Brazilian league's Gremio.
Ten minutes into the game, I'm given a very generous free kick just to the left side of the penalty area. Unable to take free kicks, I choose to cycle through the players and stats to see who would be best placed to whip this over the wall and into the net (well, whip it over the bar, into the wall or at the goalkeeper as my track record shows).
And there he was: Elano.
Throughout the rest of that game, despite my best efforts to get him on the ball and get him into shooting positions, Elano did what Elano does best. He disappeared off the face of the pitch. His free kick – for the record – hit the bar, in somewhat a similar manner to the one he took against Hamburg for Manchester City in 2009.
Normally, FIFA's estimates of players is fairly decent, with one or two exceptions who are vastly improved (Wayne Rooney and Aaron Lennon, I find) or vastly underestimated (seriously, can James Milner do anything on that game?). Elano, however, was spot on.
Anonymous for most of the game, popped up with the odd bit of brilliance from time to time, but overall the level of effort he put into the game seemed to be a little less than 'barely any'.
A quick poll on Twitter found that City fans had pretty similar views on Elano from his two years at the club: he was capable of some brilliant tricks with a football, scored some of the best goals they'd seen live (including a bullet of a free kick), but just didn't seem to care. One or two suggested he would have been better served in a City team later down the line than he was in during the Sven and Hughes eras, though others wouldn't have him near the first team today.
A quick look along Elano's playing history boasts little in the way of ambition for someone of his talent. Shakhtar Donetsk and Galatasaray among his highlights, but with Manchester City being his second-longest served club behind Santos. Given that he was able to do things with a football that I can't even do on a computer game by employing the 'mash-all-the-buttons-at-once' technique, it seems odd that he hasn't achieved more than he has.
The only answer can be his attitude. He enjoys playing football, but seemingly doesn't have the fight in him for the challenge. Personally, I would have thought his ability would have had him as a great player in a Roberto Mancini or (now) a Manuel Pellegrini Manchester City side. However, title-winning teams rarely carry passengers and he was too pedestrian too often.
In time, Elano may well become a cult hero for what good glimpses he gave of his skills for City. However, the human mind often edits out the dull bits of life and far too much of Elano's time with the Blues won't make the final cut.
It was good to be reminded of his highlights, but it gave me a lightbulb moment about how exciting the future is for City. In years gone by, one exciting and skilful player was a joy to watch, just in case they did something.
These days, it's all about working out which one of the exciting and skilful players will prove to be the match winner.

Тулчинские горы ( Мачи́нские горы) — цепь древних, сильно разрушенных гор на востоке современной Румынии, в историко-культурной области Добруджа (Тулча). Представляют собой довольно засушливую степную возвышенность, расположенную между нижним течением реки Дунай, который огибает её с запада и севера и побережьем Чёрного моря на востоке. Сильно разрушены ветровой эрозией, вызванной постоянным перепадом температур над сушей и морем. Долины между гранитными холмами заполнены отложениями глин и суглинков. Тулчинский кряж распадается на собственно Тулчинскую возвышенность на севере (более узкую) и Прикопанскую возвышенность на юге (более широкую). Выделяются и другие, более мелкиe формы рельефа. На юге Тулчинские горы переходят в плато Лудогорие, уходящее в Северную Болгарию.

Характеристика

Тулчинские горы сформировались около 400 млн лет назад (в кайнозой) и являются одними из самых старых в Европе. С низменной, заболоченной долины Дуная Мачин действительно выглядит как горный хребет хотя максимальная его высота ныне составляет всего 467 метров выше уровня моря (гора Цуцуяту или Гречь). Другие вершины — г. Приопча (410 м.) и г. Якова (341 м.). Преобладающий ландшафт — засушливая степь. Среднее количество осадков в год: 400—500 мм. Реки немногочисленны, маловодны: Таица (57 км), Телица (48 км), Слава (38,3 км). Средняя температура июня +22 (максимальная температура отмечена в 1968 г. в селе Юриловка +38 °C); средняя температура января между −1,5 °C и −1,9 °C. Часто очень ветрено.

Историческая значимость

На севере Тулчинская возвышенности находится небольшой посёлок Мэчин, вошедший в российскую историю когда 28 июня (9 июля) 1791 года состоялось так называемое Мачинское сражение Русско-турецкой войны 1787—1791 годов. Во времена Османской империи холмы у Мачина имели важное оборонительное значение. В составе независимой Румынии с 1878 года.

The Black Axe Confraternity Initiation ritual, "777" Day and Convention
Posted by Admin Posted on August 25, 2019 with No comments
Past Nigerian newspapers, reporting on a series of killings and shootings allegedly carried out by the Black Axe, explain the notoriety of the confraternity (Daily Champion 3 Sept. 2004; ibid. 27 Jan. 2005; This Day 12 July 2004; Vanguard 27 Jan. 2005; ibid. 23 Sept. 2004; ibid. 17 Aug. 2005; PM News 13 Sept. 2004; ibid. 6 Sept. 2004).
Beginning with the killing of a student at Obafemi Awolow University in Ile-Ife that prompted former president Olusegun Obasanjo in 1999 to give the vice-chancellor six months to wipe out cult groups (This Day 12 July 2004; Daily Champion 3 Sept. 2004), the Black Axe has been linked with bloody inter-confraternity fighting for several years (ibid.; ibid. 27 Jan. 2005; This Day 12 July 2004; Vanguard 27 Jan. 2005; ibid. 23 Sept. 2004; ibid. 17 Aug. 2005; PM News 13 Sept. 2004; ibid. 6 Sept. 2004).
Media reports include a confrontation believed to have taken place between the Eiye and the Black Axe confraternities at the Polytechnic, Ibadan, Oyo State in September 2004, during which four students died (PM News 13 Sept. 2004; ibid. 6 Sept. 2004); clashes between the Black Axe, the Vikings, and Black Beret at Enugu State University of Science and Technology, also in August 2004, resulting in the deaths of at least 18 people (Vanguard 17 Aug. 2004); and fighting between the Vikings and the Black Axe leading to the deaths of two or three people at Ambrose Alli University in Ekpoma, Edo State, in January 2005 (Vanguard 27 Jan. 2005; Daily Champion 27 Jan. 2005).
The research carried out by Dan OFFIONG on the activities of the NBM fraternity is a complete fallacy as it doesn't reflect the true initiation process of of the group.
Offiong adds that all fraternities initiate new members on Saturdays at midnight (Offiong 2003, 82). For some cults, initiates undergo what Offiong calls the "test of manhood," which involves being flogged, kicked, and hit with belts and sticks while stripped to the pants, before being taken to the "'island'," or initiation site (ibid.). The initiates take an oath of secrecy around a bon fire and put on their fraternity clothes; they are then given a new name and made to sign a membership scroll and provide their thumbprint in blood (ibid.). Drinking, dancing, drug taking, and drumming begin when the new members are presented to the larger group (ibid., 82-83) and end in the early hours of the morning with a procession (called the "'jolly'" by the Black Axe) to the new members' lodgings (ibid., 83).
Internal organization of NBM: the public face and the campus cult
The confraternity is hierarchically organized and has a constitution and a Manual of Procedure (https://najuju.wordpress.com/2014/11/02/constitution-and-disciplinary-standards-of-nbm/). The organization has its headquarter in Benin City as well as a World Secretariat in Lagos and is divided into Temples, Zones and Forums around the world (a list is here: https://najuju.wordpress.com/2013/10/27/a-neo-black-movement-dictionary/), each of which has a number of officers with specific duties and functions. The Zones were apparently created to "put a check on the notoriety of Black Axe" (meaning the incessant cult clashes by campus members) and to re-brand the movement. The Manual of Procedure states that the Zone should organize and monitor the Temple(s) and particularly the initiations that take place at these. NBM basically consists of two bodies: that of zones and that of temples, with the temples being seen as the source of all problems within the confraternity.
In public NBM state that they are not identical with Black Axe and are not present at campuses. They generally deny being a secret cult after Bayelsa State listed NBM in the 2012 secret cult prohibition bill. NBM also falls under the cult prohibition laws in several other Nigerian states, including Rivers State and Ekiti State. NBM also is registered as a "corporate body" (whatever that means) and they like to point this out when insisting on being a legitimate "movement" or NGO (https://bemigho147watch.wordpress.com/2015/08/18/is-neo-black-movement-registered-with-coperate-affairs-as-non-governmental-organisation/). The Nigerian media and public use "NBM" and "Black Axe" synonymously without exception. A 2012 NBM convention communiqué restated the disengagement from tertiary schools since 1994. In reality this was never the case though, and instead there is now even evidence of expansion into secondary schools. NBM is currently present at about 100 tertiary institutions.
The NBM aka Black Axe has its own constitution as well as disciplinary standards. While some parts of these documents sound
useful and good, it is deeply ironical that enforcing them would actually mean removing a huge percentage of members
(uncluding most of the "big guys" in the cult) from the NBM.

Aye: The traditional salute of members of the Movement.
Uhuru: The Official magazine/mouth piece of the Movement

Q: CSS 3 background not working I am trying to get a background on a test website for a class.
body{
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
background-image: url(Resorces/Background.png) repeat;}

This is from the CSS file
The HTML file looks like this
<!DOCTYPE html>

<title>Raster Vector Home</title>
<link href="css.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Hi

A: Your syntax is incorrect.

*

*You cannot have repeat in background-image.

*You should wrap the image url with single (') or double quote (") characters.

Instead, either create a separate attribute for background-repeat
body{
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    background-image: url('Resorces/Background.png');
    background-repeat: repeat;
}

Or, just use the background attribute:
body{
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    background: url('Resorces/Background.png') repeat;
}

Before I got into LF, I got a a Rodenstock XR-Heligon 75/1.1 (http://www.naturfotograf.com/need_speed01.html#top) (also called a "TV Heligon"). Any way to adapt this to be useful? Here's a pic of a similar one adapted to a Konica Minolta (http://www.pbase.com/pganzel/image/71175091)...but adapting to LF would be fine too (although it may have a very short flange, not sure).
Seems like it might be nice on a 2 1/4 x 3/14 Graphic with a roll film back. Assuming the lens has enough coverage.
I wonder what to do about aperture. It has no aperture diaphram.
Slow film. Focal plane shutter. Not sure if the Baby Speeds had one.
Another thought: A friend of mine uses barrel lenses, extension tubes and focusing helix on his Bronica with a focal plane shutter. If the lens covers 6x6 that would be an awesome street/portait rig. Get some Ilford Delta 3200 and Rock & Roll! However, the lens to film distance may not work on anything other 35mm bodies.
Image circle the size of a dime. people are cobbling them onto digi cams for the fine shallow dof.
If the image circle is the size of a dime, it'd work well with my Oly E3. I've held it up to a piece of paper, with a lamp as the subject. It seems to be best for close-focus.
So then how to make something to adapt it to an E3.
I'll take some pictures hand-holding it to the E3 and post them. I actually already did that, and it seems like it almost needs to go inside of the E3 body! (that is, the part sticking out behind it).
Mr. Milich already has a Panasonic Lumix G1 to Leica Thread Mount adapter. I bet he could make something for you.
The world is buzzing about adapting all kinds of lenses to the Micro 4/3s system.
It's one of the many lenses used to transmit the image made by an image intensifer on a TV-cam. The lens is corrected for very short distances at both ends.
Get an extra body cap for your E3, cut the right size hole in and and use a little JB Wield or Lock-Tight to hold them together. This method works well for these types of lenses on my Canon DSLR.
Wow, are you serious? One of those dinky little plastic body caps to hold a big heavy lens? That seems rather...shakyIt takes a dinky little camera hanging off the back of the lens, not a dinky little camera holding the lens up. For example, my beloved Questar 700 on my FG.
It takes a dinky little camera hanging off the back of the lens, not a dinky little camera holding the lens up. For example, my beloved Questar 700 on my FG.
Ha! Well, the Olympus E-3 -- while not a Large Format -- is hardly dinky either. It's made out of solid metal (aside from the outer layer), designed to be weather-proof. It's got some weight on it. I'll have to see if it weighs more or less than the Heligon.

Press: Harvard's Alternative to Google Books, Universities launch a digital public library
Posted by Vicky Zeamer on January 3, 2013 in Press.
From Chris Thompson's article for IEEE Spectrum Magazine, Harvard's Alternative to Google Books:
"In 2004, Google decided to seek out millions of books gathering dust in library stacks, digitize them, and make them available to you at the click of a mouse. All you had to do was notice the advertisements in the margins.
"But after Google extended its archiving effort from books in the public domain to those under copyright, the U.S.-based Authors Guild filed a class action lawsuit in 2005. Then, while negotiating a settlement, Google decided to sell not merely ads but the books themselves, with or without the specific consent of copyright holders, on the ground that the guild could stand in as their legal representative.
"Not so fast, said federal judge Denny Chin, as he rejected one Guild-Google settlement after another. And as the case went forward, it raised a question in the minds of librarians, writers, and archivists: Should we really put the entire repository of human knowledge in the hands of one company?
"In 2010, university librarians met in a national conference and decided to create an alternative called the Digital Public Library of America. Operating under the auspices of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University, it would archive every book in the public domain and offer them online to anyone. The library's prototype is expected to launch this year.
"This is a civic-minded engagement," says Kenny Whitebloom, who manages the library project. "There was a fear that Google Books was a commercial project, and this was an opportunity to create a digital library on its own terms."
"The Digital Public Library has a lot of things going for it. It won't try to sell you ads when you read books online, and it won't try to sell books it doesn't have the right to. What it doesn't have is money—or at any rate not enough of it to scan and organize every book in the United States. (The rest of the world is a matter the organization will have to leave for another day.)
"Instead, the Digital Public Library will serve as the archive for other archives. All around the country, from the Library of Congress to the Internet Archive in Northern California, libraries have been scanning books and setting up individual databases for their collections. The Digital Public Library of America hopes to produce a search engine that will coordinate with these institutions, creating a single search portal that will direct users to every single book they need, in any collection.
"Whitebloom expects to finalize the legal deals with the various partners in the coming year. But if he gets the project going, he just might be able to offer what Google won't: words without ads. "It's free and open to all," he says, "a sustainable national resource that will not be beholden to commercial influences." "

COPLEY: I feel more comfortable
Wed 12 Jul 2017, 05:00 PM
Centre Dale Copley has revealed he is now more comfortable as part of the Titans side and consistency in having the same men around him has helped that over the past few weeks of football.
The Titans tackle the Sharks this Saturday night at Cbus Super Stadium. Pre-purchase your tickets and receive 10% off. Get your tickets here!
Copley made his club debut in Round 4 and since then has had a number of different players either side of him but a little bit of consistency in team selections over the past month has helped him settle in.
"I feel we're going in the right direction," Copley said. "It was a bit chaotic for a period there with injuries and everyone moving around but I feel it's settled a bit in the last few weeks."
The 25-year-old is looking forward to the challenge against the Sharks at Cbus Super Stadium on Saturday night and believes the Origin representatives will return in good spirits.
"It's a little disruptive when they're not here but if they are in the side then it usually means they are playing well.
"Either way the result goes I think those guys come back with a positive attitude."
The new recruit and the rest of the team know the equation for the side to make the finals and believes the approach is simple.
"We've put ourselves in this position but if play well, get a bit of luck, have a good run with injuries, the confidence will grow and we'll be a chance."

Marie-José van Hoof: "Symptoms extend beyond the diagnosis of PTSD"
"We have the knowledge that trauma and child abuse are harmful, and therefore we have the responsibility for spreading that knowledge. Let us ensure that all adults realize what children need to grow up safely."
"If this means that parents themselves have to clean up trouble they are carrying from their past, then it is necessary to do that in the interests of the child," says Marie-José van Hoof, initiator and chair of the jubilant Expert Group of Trauma and child abuse at the Dutch Knowledge Centre for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.
The Expert Group now celebrates its tenth anniversary. Five child and adolescent psychiatrists work – in consultation with patients and parents – at the improvement of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the consequences of child abuse. In the past decade the Expert Group has set a quality standard for this in the form of scientifically substantiated, clinical applicable protocols.
The experts did not stop during their ten-year collaboration. They have mapped all professional care with regard to trauma and child abuse, the Expert Group involved care professionals in the application of the Dutch domestic violence and child abuse protocol, and shared knowledge with national and international organizations and municipalities, and they have contributed to congresses, scientific research and education. The Expert Group was involved in implementing the 'VoorZorg programme', an adaption of the American Nurse Family Partnership (NFP) developed by David Olds – one of the few effective, evidence-based prevention methods in child and adolescent mental health care.
Promoting thorough knowledge on child abuse among professionals is of great importance, according to expert group chair, Marie-José van Hoof: "Child abuse is a common problem with major social consequences. One in thirty children experience a form of child abuse, so we count a victim in every classroom, on average. This could be domestic violence, sexual abuse, neglect, emotional and physical abuse. The direct consequences of child abuse on the child's psychosocial functioning is reflected in various symptoms, which extend beyond the diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder. The clinical profile of these early inter-relationally traumatized children and adolescents consists of PTSD, anxiety and depressive problems, and problems with regulation of emotions, attachment and behaviour. This is best summarized by the concept of developmental trauma disorder, but that definition has not yet been included in the DSM-5. The consequences for mental and physical health are lifelong. We learn more and more about how trauma affects the genes, immunology and the functioning of the brain. Trauma and child abuse are related to diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer, which lead to premature death in adulthood, such as the ACE study shows."
"The personal, social and economic impact is high due to problems with education, work, and functioning in relationships", says Van Hoof. "Every year, the consequences of child abuse in the Netherlands lead to billions of additional health costs."
The abuse rate varies by type from 7 to 25 percent of the Dutch population, which means that per million inhabitants the additional child abuse costs range between 88 million for sexual abuse and 395 million for multiple abuse (Speetjens et al., 2016). The Expert Group therefore advocates paying special attention to prevention, early detection – to be followed by rapid, effective trauma treatment of the child and its family.
"Prevention begins with a thorough understanding of which adult behaviour is harmful for children", says Alfons Crijnen, child and adolescent psychiatrist and member of the Expert Group. "Adults who are vulnerable and act out of social impotence, need early help. The question is of course: who will be assessing the parents, the quality of their parenting and the parent-child relationship from the preconception and conception onwards? The child's safety obviously needs to have first priority. The Nurse Family Partnership precaution programme has taken great steps here, especially through distinguishing parents with high risk of abuse at a very early stage. That way we can actually achieve prevention. An often underexposed aspect is also the direct support of the young victims: who is talking to the children? In the multidisciplinary approach, we always call for a simple care structure for these complex issues – this should always allow serious attention for the dialogue with the child, by a qualified professional: a child psychiatrist or a psychotherapist." In this regard, Crijnen urges the consistent application of the so-called child check, a part of the mandatory domestic violence and abuse protocol, designed for professionals working with adult patients to ensure the safety of any children involved.

Former members of the Expert Group are: Ramón Lindauer (professor in child and adolescent psychiatry at the Amsterdam Medical Centre of the University of Amsterdam), and Marcel Schmeets (child and adolescent psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, independent forensic therapist).
The Nurse-Family Partnership (University of Colorado, Denver) has inspired Dr Alfons Crijnen to adapt and implement the programme – 'Voorzorg' – in Amsterdam for the prevention of child abuse. Several studies proved the effectiveness of Voorzorg in the Netherlands; maltreatment was significantly lower amongst families that took part in the programme, and additionally the long-term home environments were improved and internalizing behaviours of the children were lower.
The Dutch Knowledge Centre for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry organizes knowledge by inviting groups of specialized experts per disorder: scientists, practitioners, parents and patients gather the best available evidence-based knowledge and turn them into protocols for diagnostics and treatment. These protocols are made available online, tailored in different versions for professionals, parents, children, teachers and municipalities. The protocols for professionals are available in English. Around 80% of the child and adolescent psychiatrists and allied mental health professionals in the Netherlands use these protocols on a daily basis. The international interest in this platform for evidence-based knowledge on child and adolescent psychiatric diagnostics and treatment is growing.

New voting method will attach greater importance to the population size of the member states.
Changes to the rules governing decision-making in the Council of Ministers take effect on 1 November, altering the balance of voting power between member states.
The new rules, which attach greater importance to the population size of the member states, were introduced by the Treaty of Lisbon. Their introduction has been delayed by opposition from Spain and Poland, which could yet dampen the effects of this weekend's changes.
Although some decisions in the Council are taken by simple majority, and some decisions require unanimous approval, most decisions are taken with votes weighted according to the size of the member states and require a qualified majority. What constitutes a qualified majority is what has been changing.
Prior to the Treaty of Nice, member states each had a certain number of weighted votes allocated roughly according to their population size and a qualified majority represented around two-thirds of these.
Voting in the Council of Ministers is governed by the rules of the Treaty of Nice, which took effect in 2003. This introduced a double-majority system, ie. a majority of states and a majority of votes weighted by population. Nice sets out that a qualified majority is achieved where a proposal is supported by a simple majority of member states and by states accounting for 74% of their votes, which are weighted according to their population size.
However, the votes are not distributed in perfect proportion to each state's population and the weighting tends to favour smaller member states. For example, Malta has three votes, only one fewer than Slovenia's four, despite Malta's population being almost one-fifth of Slovenia's. Germany has only 29 votes, despite having a population that is almost 40 times larger than Slovenia's.
Under the new rules, a qualified majority will have been achieved where 55% of the (currently 28) member states back a proposal and their votes represent 65% of the EU population, or some 329 million EU citizens.
In practice, this means that to defeat a proposal would require a blocking minority made up of either at least 14 member states or member states that together account for 177 million EU citizens.
An additional criterion has been added in order to ensure that Germany, France and the United Kingdom cannot on their own block legislation even though they together have more than 35% of the EU population: a blocking minority must comprise at least four member states.
Spain and Poland were generally considered the big winners from the Treaty of Nice voting system. They have had 27 votes, although their populations are only two-thirds of the size of Germany, the United Kingdom or France, which each had 29 votes.
Spain fiercely resisted revisions to the voting weights when they were first introduced into the 2004 Constitutional Treaty, which was abandoned in 2005.
Poland, after it joined the EU, then joined the resistance during negotiations on the Lisbon treaty in 2007. Their opposition won two concessions: that changes would come into effect only after more than five years had elapsed and that until 2017 a single member state can require that any vote on legislation should be held under the Treaty of Nice rules rather than the Lisbon rules.
This get-out means that the effect of the 1 November change is unlikely to be immediate, says Frank Häge, a lecturer in politics at the University of Limerick in Ireland. He believes that the new system will prove more efficient, to the benefit of the larger and smaller member states, though to the disadvantage of medium-sized countries. Its greater transparency should help the EU in the long run, but only after another period of confusing transition.


Effective delegation is vital to effective project managing. Many persons involved when leaders in project managing are, yet , frightened of abordnung. They dread that if perhaps they delegate, the do the job defintely won't be performed correctly. Deadlines defintely won't be fulfilled. They can not trust collaboration and teamwork to others; they need to do the majority of things themselves and directly supervise the is a delegation by itself that has to be performed properly, even so. Project control depends upon abordnung simply because of legislation of the division of labor: one person or team focused on the subject of a couple particular task(s) is usually more valuable and even more prolific than one individual attempting to facilitate multiple tasks. One cannot be all stuff into a job or maybe a business. As long as powerful venture and team-work get, these elements have care of themselves right from an "emergent properties" point of view once abordnung is done correctly. A lot more laissez-faire job supervision is going to be, the better. That manager is best so, who handles we would like to seem at are the nine circumstances to be very careful of with delegation. To state, effective project administration is dependent upon venture and teamwork; and correct delegation makes these elements come through efficiently. What for anybody who is careful of once asking found in the part of job manager? Do not vague. When you are involved in job managing and most likely asking tasks, you must be quite specific about what each task should accomplish, how soon it ought to be done, and what all those doing the work should expect. Vague points lead to murky outcomes and inability to meet up with deadlines. Make certain that the deadlines you set are realistic. They must be natural and do-able time-wise, and they has to be realistic and do-able intended for the people which you select designed for the task. Definitely, your abordnung must require deciding on the right persons with respect to the ideal responsibilities insofar his or her plus points and expertise head out, nevertheless you must also ensure from the outset that the people you delegate tasks to will not likely own appointment scheduling challenges or conflicts. Provide you with pretty much all necessary data to each abordnung. Also point those you may have delegated jobs to in direction of the any various other solutions that they may be able to use to carry out their work on period. Collaboration and teamwork could possibly be amongst these resources. Ensure that you are available as the project control leader.
Your delegates should be able to come to you with any questions or concerns about the project or their responsibilities. Furthermore, you will need to hold these people sensible. Need periodic improvement accounts of your delegates. However, you heavy distributed about this kind of. A each week status statement ought to be satisfactory, presuming the task will certainly take much longer than one week to is undoubtedly assumed that you'll be delegating duties for project management since you have a tendency have you a chance to do all on your own. Clearly that you are thus overwhelmed which you can not provide direct instructions for the purpose of the tasks. If it is the case, you must make sure that you delegate a person mainly because the call person and the director of the job. That will end up being this kind of individual's responsibility to be your "right hand" and to supply the main features to the people involved to ensure that presently there is powerful collaboration and teamwork. Usually, even the overseeing of a job must end up being delegated. Whenever at most possible, delegate this to someone with life experience managing assignments or encounter in the type of do the job the fact that the project requires of the people involved. After you have delegated, make sure to keep the hands away as far as possible. Enable the engaged in the job imaginative space. Permit them put together their private recommendations, and even make suggestions about how to try tasks better. What matters is the fact you find the desired benefits and task outcome. Naturally , you must have the final say in approving becomes things, nevertheless there is definitely no have to have being addition to having the weekly status update, contain in place a process for the purpose of confirming in the job. It can be important that you may have frequent usage of data on just how everything is growing. Get this to a non-disruptive system. Some of those engaged in the project will need to be able to conveniently record posts without the need to pay you a go to. That they are not disrupted by this, and you also do want to have the own timetable constantly a log for your self concerning that's doing which usually tasks. Observe all status reports and recorded particulars on progress in your log. Keeping the log will keep your mind fresh regarding the project even as that allows you to double-check virtually any particulars.
Avoid disregard to offer praise and credit when ever tasks happen to be completed correctly and about period, or once now there is very good progress being made on a activity. Individuals will need positive opinion the moment they will be carrying out stuff right. Not really only carry out they are worthy of it, although positive responses also preserves them focused, keeps all of them motivated, helping them to know what they will should always be you will notice, right now there is very much to effective delegation for the purpose of successful job management. Abordnung is accomplish basic issue. That requires imagined, understanding of a project's requirements, and a knowledge of those whom work within you. Relationship and teamwork will fall into place in the event that proper abordnung is done from the outset. Through proper delegation, you guide task management through to its wanted effects. You do this kind of without requiring to micro-manage or presenting yourself headaches. All concerned are happier and the job turns out the way that everyone needs.
