About Kraków
Kraków has always been Poland's artistic and cultural centre, but for 500 years it was also the royal capital. Only for 500 years though, and the fact that it's no longer the capital might be why its beautiful Baroque, Gothic, Romanesque and Renaissance architecture survived WW2. And it's this architecture, as well as Kraków's incredible art collection, that many people are coming to see today. That or the food, drink and festival scene. But whatever the reason for your visit we can recommend the best places to stay in Kraków for you, from 5* properties with fine dining restaurants to boutique townhouse hotels and smart apartments that won't break the bank.
Many of our recommendations for the best places to stay in Kraków can be found in the Old Town, and because of this city's small footprint, you can walk to most of Kraków's main sights from here. And every stroll around this city offers an opportunity to see more of the gorgeous architecture, and run across more fantastic places to eat and drink. The public transport service is very efficient for anywhere you can't walk to.
Kraków really knows how to host an event! The summer is packed with festivals celebrating and showcasing everything from film to opera to street theatre, so this is a really busy time to visit, but a fun time too. If you are planning to attend a festival and you want to stay in one of the hotels we recommend as the best places to stay in Kraków then it's worth booking in advance.
Where to Stay? Which Neighbourhood?
- Stare Miasto is Kraków's Heritage Listed, medieval Old Town, a lively, beautiful neighbourhood which escaped bomb damage during WW2, and so has much of the city's oldest, and most impressive architecture. Stare Miasto is also where you'll find many of Kraków's major sights and sites, including Wawel Castle, Gothic treasure the Kraków Cloth House, the Main Market Square (Europe's largest at a whopping ten acres!) and Wawel Cathedral (more than 900 years old and known for its wonderful collection of religious art). Being central, Stare Miasto has some great places to eat and drink too, mostly centred around charming Florianska Street, apparently it's got more bars per square metre than anywhere else in Europe.
- Kleparz is a pretty residential neighbourhood just north of Stare Miasto, only minutes from the Main Market Square, so it's still central, but nowhere near as busy. Its own main square is busy with local boutiques, with a few market-style traders, but it's much more sedate and refined, and if you're looking for the real local market you'll find it in Stary Kleparz, which is known for its clothes stalls. If you're looking for an upmarket apartment hotel or boutique hotel Kleparz is one of the best places to stay in Kraków. We also recommend Kleparz to anyone wanting to stay somewhere that local people actually live.
- Kazimierz is the old Jewish part of town, and now one of the coolest. Today you'll find galleries, cafes, boutiques and antique shops — many with a chic, bohemian edge — as well as synagogues and the Old Jewish Cemetery. It's a funny juxtaposition that Kazimierz is a particularly poignant and historic part of town, though also one of the best places to go out in Kraków of an evening.
- Podgórze is just across the river from Kazimierz and the centre of town. It's charming and affordable, but it does have a rather dark history, having been used as a Jewish ghetto.
- Debniki is also across the river and slightly off centre (directly opposite Wawel Castle), but it's still convenient. It has a leafy residential feel that will appeal to families and anyone planning a longer stay. Debniki is also home to a number of great guesthouses.
- Grzegórzki runs from the east of Planty Park in the Old Town to the central train station, and is one of the best neighbourhoods if you're looking for great value. From the outset it might look a bit grey and run down, but just below the surface are some really fantastic hotels and apartment hotels, plus plenty of excellent local restaurants. Grzegórzki is also where you'll find the botanical gardens, and Kraków's largest flea market, the Hala Targowa. And it's got some great family friendly options too.
- Ludwinow is another good place to consider if you're looking for great value accommodation, it's hip, and on the river, but you have to travel to get into the centre of town, so that's why prices are so low.
- Krowodrza is to the west of centre. Formerly its own village, but long since absorbed into Kraków, this is a great place to stay in Kraków for families, with a relaxed, residential feel, and plenty of parkland and open space. Krowodrza is where you'll find the Royal Palace of Lobzow, and Jordan Park, and it's only 15 minutes from the centre of town by tram.
- Zwierzyniec is another good neighbourhood if you're lookingt travelling with kids. This is where you'll find the zoo! It's to the west, close to the protected forest of Laswolski, a beautiful spot perfect for strolling and city views.
This city has become an increasingly popular year round destination, so if you want to guarantee a room in one of the best places to stay in Krakow, do your homework, and book well ahead.
The Best Places to Stay in Kraków
For a city break
- Elegant and rather traditional, the Hotel Pod Roza is perfectly positioned, in Stare Miasto, close to the basilica. Its 57 rooms and suites are simply decorated, with heavy wooden furniture and a warm, creamy colour palette. The bathrooms are marble, and despite being old they have every modern luxury. There are two restaurants, one in the property's former courtyard, which is now protected from the elements by a glass roof.
- The Hotel Grodek is a boutique-style hotel in a quiet Old Town location, also close to the basilica. It has only 23 rooms and suites, traditionally, and individually decorated with varying degrees of chintz. There's a charming library bar, with a log fire, perfectly cosy on a winter's evening, and an award-winning restaurant. In the morning you can take your breakfast and coffee on the roof terrace overlooking the spires of St. Mary's Basilica.
For a romantic stay
- If you want to book somewhere really memorable Hotel Wentzl is ideal. Converted from a 15th century stately home, it's the only hotel overlooking Rynek Glówny, so you'll not miss any of the action, and there are many other Kraków highlights within a few minutes walk. There are only 18 rooms and suites, all of them individually designed and decorated, the majority with an elegant, bohemian flavour. There's also a fantastic restaurant.
- The Hotel Stary is a five star hotel in central Kraków: right opposite the Museum Kraków. Its 53 rooms and suites are all uniquely decorated, so if you want frescoes and painted ceilings, you can opt for that, but they also have rooms with polished concrete floors, baths centre stage and sloping roofs with huge skylights. There's an impressive spa and gym, with a large indoor pool, and the restaurant does not disappoint.
- The Hotel Polski is another Old Town option, located close to the old city walls. This is a large townhouse conversion, and now has 60 good sized rooms and suites, with some really beautiful features. Think large frescoes, marble fireplaces. heavy curtains and tapestries, and some lovely art and antiques. There's a traditional feel to the place, an atmosphere that fits perfectly into this beautiful, old part of town. Most rooms have floor to ceiling windows with charming views, and there's a great traditional restaurant too.
Some of Kraków's Best Luxury Hotels
- The Hotel Copernicus is a truly special place to stay. It's just below Wawel Castle, in the very oldest part of the Old Town, with a beautiful terrace with castle views. It has only 29 rooms and suites, complete with renaissance frescoes, carved stone portals and statuary, an indoor pool in a vaulted cellar, and Gothic details, like dark wood furniture and huge, sweeping velvet drapes. The roof top bar is quite something, and its Michelin recommended Polish restaurant is very highly regarded.
Off centre
- Modern and comfortable, the 20 room Hotel Benefis is on a quiet street on the other side of the river from Stare Miasto, away from any traffic noise, but still only about 15 minutes walk from the Main Market Square. The rooms are simple, spacious and comfortable, and the best rooms and suites have views of Wawel Castle. Breakfast is served in the elegant cellar, which has contemporary decor and an impressive spread every morning. This is the perfect place to stay if you're willing to walk a little distance to save a bit of money.
For great value
- The Hotel Pugetow is another converted, 16th century townhouse, though this time a smaller one, with only seven rooms and suites. Each room is uniquely, and traditionally decorated, with a different theme, so it feels a bit like a private home, rather than a hotel. The Italian restaurant is reasonable too, occupying an atmospheric, vaulted cellar.
- The Hotel Amber is an impressive, yet affordable hotel, sitting behind an elegant pink and white Renaissance façade. You're only minutes from the Main Market Square, and yet the hotel is quite quiet, with just 18 rooms and suites, and a swanky dining room. The decor has an Art Deco twist, and a neutral palette, and some of the rooms are quite grand, despite being included in our 'great value' category. There's also a gym and sauna in the basement.
- Overlooking Plenty Park, the Maltanski Hotel is in a delightfully leafy spot, complete with its own garden. It has 16 rooms and suites which feature parquet floor, wood burning stoves, rounded windows and garden views.
Prefer a Kraków Apartment?
- Cracowdays Apartments are a collection of just ten really charming apartments close to the Park Krakówski. Expect exposed beams and brick, and contemporary furnishings. Some of the apartments have their own cooking facilities, but they also offer a friendly communal breakfast area. There's complimentary bike hire too, so it's ideal if you're staying in Kraków for a bit longer and you're looking for a home from home.
- If you'd prefer to look at other apartments or self-catering accommodation we recommend you visit our online partner, booking.com.
Travel Information
- Kraków Airport, or John Paul II Airport, is the most convenient entry point for international visitors arriving by plane. It's about 15 kms from the centre of town, and well connected by bus, train, private transfers, which are like taxis arranged in advance, and taxis. Depending on traffic your journey will take between 20 and 30 minutes. Some budget airlines fly to Katowise, which is 110kms to the north west of Kraków, and doesn't have the excellent transport infrastructure of John Paul II, so you really need to get a shuttle bus, which takes about two hours, or a private transfer or taxi into Kraków. Kraków's main train station is called Kraków Glówny, and it's directly linked with Berlin, Vienna, Prague, Budapest, Bratislava and Kiev. The train from John Paul II Airport also arrives into Kraków Glówny. The station is only five minutes from the Old Town, and it's got its own shopping mall, which makes it quite convenient for visitors.
- If you're thinking about hiring a car we recommend checking what our online partners, Rentalcars have to offer.
- Kraków is in a really beautiful spot, on the Vistula River at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains, but its weather is known for being temperamental, with bouts of cold and wet when you're not necessarily expecting it. Winter is very cold, expect many days below freezing, and summer can be rainy, but spring and autumn are comparatively dry and mild, so they're probably the best times to visit. May, June and September, October are probably the nicest time to visit weather-wise.

It is obtained by depletion of the curd after coagulation of ewe's raw milk or mixture of goat and ewe milk by the action of animal curd. It follows a maturation process for a period of 120-150 days.
It has the form of a low cylinder, with straight and smooth sides, the diameter from 10 to 15 cm and weighing 400-1000 grams. The odour is active and distinctive, with a strong flavor and extremely spicy.
It is produced in the municipalities of Castelo Branco, Fundão, Belmonte, Penamacor, Idanha-a-Nova, Vila Velha de Ródão, Proença-a-Nova, Vila de Rei, Serta, Oleiros and Covilhã.

Thank you for talking about such an interesting place to visit. I liked your blog. As a novice traveler, this is very useful information. I dream to visit Romania.
Brasov, Romania and the Legend of Dracula – Built Upon a Sham
From the moment I decided to visit Eastern Europe I was obsessed with the idea of Transylvania. My mind conjured images of razorback mountains with rugged roads where one false move would send hikers plunging to their deaths. I imagined black-green forests so dense that not even the midday sun could penetrate and wolves howling beneath the spilled glitter of the Milky Way. Though I'd ignored the Twilight TV series that had gripped the collective fascination, I read Bran Stoker's Dracula prior to arriving in Romania; as a result the Transylvania in my mind was also peppered with visions of vampires and Dracula. A romantic at heart, I desperately wanted to believe that this corner of the world was still remote, untouched, and mysterious.
However, Transylvania is a very large region in northern Romania, so when I left Turda I had a decision to make. I could head due south to Sibiu or southeast to Brasov. In the end I chose the latter for its proximity to Bran Castle, better known as Dracula's Castle in tourism circles. I arrived in Brasov late one afternoon following a long, hot train ride, only to be held up by a taxi driver who tried to charge me more than four times the normal rate to take me to Old Town. Instead, I squeezed into a few inches of space on the stairs of an overloaded bus and held on for dear life as we careened around curves, simultaneously swiping at the sweat pouring down my forehead while trying to keep my suitcase from rolling out each time we jolted to a stop and the doors flew open.
After a delicious dinner and a good night's sleep I left the frustrations of the precious day behind and headed out to see Brasov. Piata Sfatului, the town's main square, was a disappointment. The central fountain was dry and trash was strewn around its base. Many of the stone pavers were chipped or cracked and some were missing entirely. A worker trickling water onto spilled ice cream stains succeeded only in making them stickier. Further along I found Nicolae Titulescu Park where I strolled through neglected rose gardens. Circling back, I followed a path alongside earthen fortifications built to protect the town during medieval times. A rank odor rose from a small stream that bordered the path and gray soap scum floated on its surface. Brasov seemed seedy, dilapidated, and poorly maintained – a town in decay.
Discouraged, I spurned Brasov and booked a tour of the surrounding countryside the following day, where I was certain I would discover the real Transylvania. We drove south into Carpathian Mountains that were every bit as spectacular as I had imagined. Sinuous roads led past clusters of Swiss chalets tucked into the haunches of soaring granite giants. Since I was the only client that day, we made an unscheduled stop at the Christian/Orthodox Caraiman Monastery (Holy Cross Monastery) in Busteni, which was completed in 2000. My guide, who "got religion" after years spent negotiating arms deals for the communist government, explained that the Virgin Mary appeared in the dreams of a local priest, father Gherontie Puiu, indicating where the monastery should be built by making a flaming cross appear in the sky. Today a neon cross hangs in a large tree on that very spot and pilgrims flock to the site to offer prayers or seek healing.
We continued south to Sinaia, another Swiss clone village where Peles Castle rests atop a rock aerie, its needle-like turrets mimicking the serrated peaks that frame it. Technically a palace, Peles was built for King Carol I, who fell in love with the Transylvanian scenery during his first ever visit to the area in 1866. Construction was begun seven years later and the castle was opened in 1883, though it was not completed until 1914. I toured parts of the first and second floors, seeing only a fraction of its 34,000 square feet and 170 rooms, but what I saw was magnificent.
In the three-story Hall of Honor, exquisite balconies, a spiral staircase, and a prayer cabinet are carved from exotic woods and a retractable stained glass roof floods the space with natural light. A salon decorated in Moorish style features mother-of-pearl inlaid furniture, Persian rugs, and a marble fountain. The solid bronze doors of the Italian Renaissance style Florentine Room were made in Rome and the Grand Marble Fireplace has Michelangelo motifs. The Turkish parlor, used as a mens' smoking room, is full of Turkish rugs and copperware, and its walls are covered in silk brocade imported from Vienna. The castle has one of the most extensive collections of art in Eastern and Central Europe, including more than 4,000 pieces of armor.
Two hours later I climbed back in the car, eager to visit the highlight of the tour, Bran Castle. Goosebumps broke out on my arms when it came into view, soaring high above the town. The massive stone hulk squatted beneath terracotta spires that seemed to have been attached at random, with no concern for aesthetics. From a distance, it was impressive. Up close, it was a circus. The streets were filled with kiosks and tents selling food and trinkets. I grimaced and pressed through the crowds of tourists, hiking up the hill to the castle entrance. Most of the rooms were unfurnished, cold, and damp, containing only signboards that explained the history of the castle and the legend of Dracula.
Of course, I knew that Dracula was a mythical character, created by Bram Stoker and loosely based on the true-life stories of Vlad Dracul II, a Romanian prince who, in 1448, was appointed by the Ottomans to rule Wallachia, an area that borders present day Transylvania. Vlad was supposed to be governing on behalf of the Ottomans but he was an ambitions tyrant who wanted lands of his own, and he knew that the quickest way to succeed was to establish a reign of terror. He began cutting off the heads of his enemies and mounting them on stakes in front of the castle, earning him the nickname Vlad the Impaler. But the name that would forever become associated with him came from his membership in the Order of the Dragon, an organization created by the King of Hungary to ensure the safety of the royal family and later, to protect Christianity against its enemies. Upon his appointment to the order Vlad signed the official documents with the moniker Dracula.
Fearing that control of Wallachia would be wrested from them, the Turks eventually marched against Vlad but when Muhammad II, conqueror of Constantinople, arrived he found the heads of his entire army gruesomely displayed on stakes for miles surrounding the castle. Unfortunately, that castle was not in Bran. Though historians do not agree on the location of Dracula's Castle, Snagov Monastery and Poienari Fortress, both located in the southern Carpathians, are more likely candidates. So why does the legend persist and why do tourists flock to this false monument? Although Vlad the Impaler never set foot in Bran Castle, it was the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula, the novel that established the legend.
My tour continued for another hour; we made a final stop at Rasnov Fortress on our way back to Brasov, but my heart was not in it. I gazed up at the fortress, on a hill overlooking the village of Rasnov, and shook my head. Too tired to tackle one more climb, I settled for a view from afar. I stayed one more day in Brasov and it was a bad decision, as I got food poisoning from the restaurant I chose on my final night and spent the rest of the night chained to the bathroom. Brasov was a huge disappointment to me but I can still look on the bright side; at least I got out of there with my head intact.

Such a piece of great information about the legend of Dracula Brasov Romania
It's sad that this article is so prominent on Google, when the places visited, were straight out of the tourist brochure. Yet you complain they were too touristy. I hope you see the painful irony in your dissatisfaction. It reminds me of when I was stood next to a Texan for half an hour waiting to see Blarney Castle which he was most disappointed with because it looked nothing like a 'real Disney castle' his American upbringing clearly stopped him from understanding the brutal history of Europe, or appreciate the importance (or lack of) of a building standing for hundreds of years, to spend significant sums of money on what would have been knocked down to build a mall on prime realestate on in an American city.
Have you visited the 'other half' of Transylvania? The citidels of Sighisoara, wooden churches, rasnov is even a better choice than the urban sprawl of Brasov, the national forests, the Roman ruins, even Targu muers has its charms. Did you stop at the replica monestary of Sinai's at Catherines monestary… In Romania's Sinai, a lovely town. My advice, would be to hire a car and wander on wheels.
I am here now with my little princess and she will be writing up her trip on her site. She is 2 but incredibly eloquent and bright. And I am not just being a proud parent here, she is gifted. We are finding Transylvania an excellent family holiday destination and enjoying the hidden Romania we have not read about anywhere. Well not in English anyway.
Ps I loved your write up of the salt mines
Hi there. We weren't hugely impressed with Brasov either, it just felt too touristy, we were dodging the gortex-clad tour groups on the pavements. But it is a very pretty town and we stayed in a wonderful little apartment there. It was my son's birthday and we had most excellent ice cream followed by a trip to Bran Castle. I must admit, we thought the castle and trinket stalls were lots of fun, a few spooky Dracula stories and images are great for the kids. We didn't pay to go in, the inside of stately homes usually bores the kids to tears. We travelled on to Sighisoara, birth place of Vlad. That's a gorgeous little town, but again, very touristy. We're up here in Breb now ( it's me you've been talking to on Facebook about living here). It's another world in northern Maramures, far from the crowds and pizza joints. You can tell when you cross the border from Transylvania to Maramures, it feels and looks different. We call it home now, for a while. Looking forward to exploring more of this end of Europe.
Hi there nice article and nice images ,i really respect your passion into traveling,i like drakula movies,but do they exist really??
Thanks for exposing Bran Castle as a tourist trap …. the other castles/monasteries you went to look positively exquisite though!
Come to the only Transylvania left on Earth. Western North Carolina Transylvania's County seat is Brevard NC, my home town, 2200 foot elevation, getting 70+ inches rain per year and surrounded by over 100 water falls, lush forests, mountains ranging from 4,000 – 6,000 feet. Nearby Asheville has a castle too, The Biltmore House, pricey to tour but beautiful.
Work and life strand me elsewhere, but I remember home fondly. Go where locals eat, in season shop the various farmers market especially the big one near Asheville.
Wow, marvelous blog format! How long have you been blogging for? You make running a blog glance easy. The total glance of your site is great, as neatly as the content material!
i like your blog you done a very good job, i must say your blog will going top.
i have never words to explain Romanian…i also great experience of Roamnia ..Its really ultimate place to visit..There are lot of things and fantastic natural views…Thanks for sharing your wonderful experience with beautiful pics…
Romania is best place to visit..last year i visited Romania..its really great experience for me..there are lot of beautiful places and natural views which are main attention to the visitors…Really outstanding pics and post… i appericiate for this informative work…
I tried to write a comment on my phone but failed so I am giving it another go on my PC.
I would only like to say that, if you are going to Romania, make sure you will visit Brasov. Although Barbara seems to have had a less then acceptable experience, for whatever reason, you can be assured that you will not regret it if you decided to visit the city. It has great historical monuments (The Black Church, The first Romanian School, The Medieval Towers surrounding the city, The Brasov Fortress, etc), natural beauty (it is surrounded by forests and mountains within walking distance) and even a cheesy Hollywood type of sign with the city name which is placed on top of one of the mountains.
One thing that I cannot understand is Barbara's impression that the city was dirty and the main square was neglected and the park as well (though, I do agree that the fountain in the centre of Brasov needs to be refurbished ).
Brasov is well known as one of the cleanest, most civilised and European-like city in Romania. The park visited by Barbara (which I visited as well in September) is one of the cleanest and most cared ones I have seen in my life. The main square is also cared for.
I read this blog with interest but unfortunately I cannot help feel that the city described by Barbara does not exist. Again, the reason I posted this comment was because Brasov, as described in this blog post, does not exist. It is definitely not a question of taste, it is fact.
It's interesting. People remember good fiction so much more than they do sound history. Time and again, they choose the memorable story over the facts.
Just back from Romania spending a week vacation.It was one of most memorable travel experience here .I loved the beauty of this place.Visited several muesums halls and enjoyed there a lot.Shopping facilities here are just mind Blowing.Overall perfect place to plan your trip .
Great narrative! I really like the pictures of the Peles Castle, especially the one of the Hall of Honor. The detail with which the wood is carved is remarkable..
Great storytelling, I recently came back from Czech/Prague and the square seems very similar. It was much cleaner/maintained there however. The castle and church look stunning.
When I was in Romania a year ago I had to make the call between Bran Castle and Peles Castle. I chose Peles, and I'm pleased that I did. Your article confirms my suspicions about Bran. As a huge Dracula fan, I knew that the link between Bran and Dracula was tenuous (Bram Stoker never visited Romania, and could not have had a particular castle in mind when he wrote it), and that it is only pitched as such for tourists, although, of course, it is a beautiful castle in its own right.
I chose Peles in the end as I could imagine the Dracula tale taking place there just as easily as at Bran. Perhaps more so as it was far less touristy.
I must admit that I am hugely fascinated by Vlad. I spoke with many locals about him, and one thing is clear. He commands nothing but respect from Romanians. He is a hero. His methods were grisly but they were learned from the Ottomans and turned back on them.
I can highly recommend a trip to Snagov monastery, one of the locations where they believe Vlad to be buried. I was the only visitor all day when I went. There was no tourist circus surrounding it at all.
I enjoyed your post, I love to read other people's opinions on Romania (it's my favourite country).
I had listen Dracula character many times but the reason behind its name hadn't. Thanks Barbara Weibel for introducing Romania history.

Vlad the Impaler was a Romanian prince, his father ruled Wallachia before him and he inherited the throne. The Ottomans wanted to conquer Europe and he was the only one who stood between them and Christianity. He was a hero for a the whole Europe.
As a Romanian, thank you very much. I find it funny I've been in Brasov countless times and never ever ever got a food poisoning. I would also have some harsh comments about your other experiences (like you expected Bran Castle to be home of Vlad Dracul?!?! It's common knowledge it never was. It's not Romania's fault you get your info from "media hype") and more but I'll just refrain myself.
Please do us a favour: do not come back. Thank you.
Read what this guy has to say. But I guess he was in a different Romania, whaddayasay?
Damn it, the more I read, the more angrier I get. This is the bus you "held for your dear life": http://bit.ly/1k391PW The licence plate says "BV" which is the code for Brasov county. MAN buses, equipped for people with disabilities, and so on.
How can you lie like this?
I can understand your excitement, and I almost didn't want to read beyond the first paragraph as I was afraid it was going to shatter that fantasy in my head. However, I am glad I did, and I didn't know the history and story of Vlad. Thanks.
noooo i don't want it to be a sham!
I never thought of Transylvania as one of the places that I just have to visit. There's some unique beauty to the castle and always some good history behind it as well. Although it wasn't what you expected, it's great to be able to take it all in and make the best of every stop.
Being of Hungarian decent, I always wondered what Transylvania was like myself. We're travelling to Hungary and the surrounding countries next year…..Hopefully visiting family I have never met! After talking to Canadian Romanians and reading your story, I think your visit to Romania is good enough for me. lol Countryside does look beautiful though!!! Keep the travel stories coming. 🙂
Indeed, not one of your better stops. It's always disappointing to see how tacky some of these places are, especially when they are based on false information to start with. And the food poisoning sounds grim! Glad you got out of there safely and are happily in a new place now.
Looks like Peles castle was a more fitting place to imagine the legend of Dracula
I think they might as well embrace it all over the world. England can have Robin Hood's house and King Arthur's castle, Italy already has Juliet's house, Mexico can have Zorro's lair, and so on. It would be ridiculous, but we're already on the way with a few of those.

I'm finding myself worn out from work stress this week and not too creative with blog posts… so I'm cheating again and posting my homework assignment for this week from the HWA online writing group.
The assignment was to take a worn out trope, specifically vampire, werewolf or zombie, and give it a new spin. I was leaning towards zombies before I mentioned it to my husband.
"Easy," he said. "Just make a vampire that gives life instead of take it."
I envisioned a karmic, zen kind of vampire that both gives and takes to keep the balance… and The Giver was written.
The Giver
By Angela Yuriko Smith
The baby lies in the crib, struggling to breathe. Her ignorant parents are passed out in the next room, television screams overpowering her feeble cries. She is on the edge of the veil. This little thing is so frail—I envy her delicateness. She will pass from this life to the next as easily as a sparrow flies through shade.
Impervious, I travel anywhere I please on this planet—unaffected by heat, ice and flame. I explore it all. Lava has sizzled on my cold skin as I sunk into molten depths and I rose up to find myself unscathed. I once sought to drown myself in the deepest cracks of the ocean floor. I walked along the barren depths for an age, but eventually I again rose, unscathed.
Immortality hangs around me like a chain. I am the First Darkness. I am the Father of Death. Shtriga, vrykolakas and strigoi… I have many names. I have been here from the beginning and will likely remain until the end is memory. I have limitless power, but this tiny, weak thing goes where I may not.
I bend over the human trifle, a shadow moving within shadow. I have a gift.
I slide my hand beneath it, cradling the flesh clad bones against my palm. It shifts against me, mewls and falls still. They never fight. My omnipotence quells the mortal struggle. I am inevitable. They sense it.
I stroke my finger along the sallow cheek. It smells of feces and nicotine. The baby is naked, but for the bloated diaper. I trace the web of blue beneath the skin. There is life here. It belongs to me so I may choose: take or give. I choose to give.
I open my mouth and the gates of Hell gape wide. Here have passed kings and paupers, creators and destroyers, mothers and daughters… I do not discriminate. I descend upon the infant, my lips of ice do not warm on her fevered flesh, and breathe into her.
I am the keeper of life force, and a taste of this I send into this child. Her chest swells at the incoming gust, nearly bursting the sacs of air within, but she holds. Her baby mind lights up, synapses firing as they form a new network beyond the map to mediocrity they were originally programmed for. I breathe into this child and it lives.
"You will suffer," I whisper to the infant. "But your suffering will give you depth. You will burn, but your heat will warm this earth." I lower the baby back onto the stained crib mattress. Her breath is strong now. She is strong now. She will do much in a lifetime before I return and take back my gift.
I exit the crooked, grey trailer in its nest of junk. It sags in an unkempt copse of tree and shrub. Tattered remnants of plastic bag and paper tremble in the bushes like ghosts. A skinny dog watches me from beneath the splintered wooden stairs. He whines softly, a plea to leave his life to him, in spite of suffering. His blood smells sour and doesn't call to me.
I leave the hovel, following a trail of moonlight. Anyone watching would see only the shadow of a cloud passing across the moon's face. Some, more keen, may notice the dancing of dry leaves at my silent step. Only the mad would see my true form.
I have given a gift, and now I must receive a gift to retain the balance. There is no method to my choosing. I am neither good nor evil. I am yin and yang. I am the eternal circle of life. I spy a tent draped in white roses, and I move toward it.
Behind the tent is a small, yellow house. The scent of golden anticipation wafts toward me, drifting through twilight, and I follow. It leads me up the wooden siding, through a trellis of wisteria, to find an open window. Thin eyelet curtains are the only barrier between me and the heady odor that calls. I traverse glaciers. I push through ice sheets that trap mammoths. I meditate on mountains so high the air can't climb them. I push through the curtain easily.
A young woman lays in a tumble of sheets. Her hair is tangled from restless sleep. Laid out on a nearby chair is a dress of white satin and sequin. Veils, silk flowers and ropes of pearl cover a bedside table. She smells like hope, love and lavender dreams. I lick my lips and move toward her.
I stroke my finger along her blooming cheek. It smells of perfume and musk. Her bare shoulder lies exposed where the sheets have fallen, cream against white. I trace the web of blue beneath the skin. There is life. It belongs to me so I may choose: take or give. I choose to take.
I slide my hand beneath her, cradling the flesh clad bones against my palm. Her head falls back, leaving her neck open to me. I descend, a shadow moving within shadow. I take a gift.
I open my mouth against her skin and the pulse of her blood warms me. I pierce her, and all of her joy flows into me. I fill with her essence, a rich and fragrant life. I drink deeply until she goes cold and I grow warm. I lower the woman back into her cocoon of linen and depart. Outside, beneath the trellis of heavy, purple flowers, I find night bleaching into dawn. I make my way silently through the tent, and toward my own repose.
In the tent, I pluck a rose, hold it to my face and kiss it. My lips are still wet from her blood and the petals curl and stain with red. I inhale deep, relishing my rich and fragrant life. Immortality graces me like a chain. I place the reddened rose on the altar and depart.
It is my gift.

9 Tips to Organize Your Diabetes Management
Your diabetes to-do list may be long, but staying organized can help. Follow these strategies to tackle each day with less stress.
Counting carbs. Testing blood sugar. Remembering to take your medication or insulin. When you have diabetes, managing your condition can be a juggling act.
"Having diabetes is like owning a pet — it's something that you must take care of every day, and being organized prevents it from becoming a burden," says Sara Daly, 44, a physical therapist in Middlebury, Vermont, who has also been managing type 1 diabetes for more than 30 years. "Being mindful about self-care allows you to feel good, which then allows success in any area of your life."
Diabetes Management: Strategies to Stay Organized
Streamlining and organizing your diabetes need-to-do list can help you add more want-to-dos into your daily routine. Start with these tips to help you stay on track:
1. Set your mornings to music. Make a playlist of a few songs you really enjoy and wake up to it in the morning, says Susan Weiner, RDN, CDE, a dietitian and certified diabetes educator in New York and co-author of The Complete Diabetes Organizer: Your Guide to a Less Stressful and More Manageable Diabetes Life. "When the first song is playing, check your blood sugar or your continuous glucose monitor if you wear one," she suggests. Strive to finish that task before the song ends. Then when the next song starts, move to your next morning task, she adds.
2. Create an exercise schedule. Working out at the same time every day will help you identify how exercise affects your blood sugar — which can help you plan for blood sugar highs and lows, says Laura Cipullo, RD, CDE, a certified diabetes educator in private practice in New York and New Jersey and author of The Diabetes Comfort Food Diet.
3. Make taking meds easy. "I like to suggest clients leave oral medication out in plain view to help remind them to take it every day," says Lori Zanini, RD, CDE, a certified diabetes educator in Manhattan Beach, California. Make sure your medication routine is easy to follow and works with your schedule. If you think it's too complicated, let your doctor know; he or she may have a simplified solution for you, she adds.
4. Be clutch. "I store my glucose meter, lancets, and test strips in a black wristlet purse," Daly says. "It's easy to find and it looks trendy when I have to take it out to use in public, and I can easily put my phone and cards in it when I go out."
5. Embrace technology. A shared online calendar allows you to put all of your information in one place — appointments, medication expiration dates, lab tests — and share it with your family members, Zanini says. Some online calendars also make it easy to put your blood sugar results and simply print it out and bring it with you to doctor checkups, she adds.
6. Prepare for 'lows'. Buy a supply of glucose tablets and put them in key places so you can get to them quickly if your blood sugar dips, Daly says. She keeps some in her tennis bag, workspace, glove compartment, bedside table, and travel bag.
7. Cook smart. Take stock of what you already have in the house, decide what you want to eat for the week, and then head out to the grocery store, Zanini says. Choose one day a week to prepare meals, pack food in portion-sized containers, and freeze them, suggests Pam Brisky, RD, CDE, clinical nutrition manager at the Augusta University Health System in Georgia. "Thaw [the next day's meal] the night before or in the morning so your dinner is ready to heat and eat when you get home." If your mornings are hectic, pack a breakfast the night before that you can grab-and-go, she adds.
8. De-stress. Stress can make managing diabetes harder. Stressed-out people sometimes skip exercise, drink too much, and ditch their diabetes diet, according to the American Diabetes Association. Plus, stress hormones may affect your blood sugar levels directly, too. Take time to relax and de-stress every day, Brisky says. "Practice mindfulness, being aware of yourself, your surroundings, and your choices," she adds. Seek help if you're feeling overwhelmed, she advises.
9. Do a self-check. Save a few minutes each night for a health check. Start by examining your feet for cracks, cuts, and skin quality, says Cipullo. "Make sure your food and blood sugar logs are complete," she says, "and then, finally, take a breath!"

Officials of the White Marlin Open have withheld the $2,800,000 prize money for the only white marlin weighed in this years tournament. The 76.5 lb. white marlin was caught on the second day of the tournament by Phil Heasley on the Kallianassa" and was the only white marlin that met the 70 lb. minimum weight requirement.
The winner of the White Marlin Division is always subjected to a polygraph test and the test given to angler Phil Heasley and the crew on the "Kallinassa" indicated to tournament officials that there was an apparent rules violation and Mr. Heasley would not be awarded the $2,818,660 in award money. Officials said that a determination will be made on how to distribute the winnings according to tournament rules and regulations.
The statement from Jim Motsko, President of the White Marlin Open read:
On August 9, the winning angler in the white marlin category provided catch information for the white marlin, which, as it turned out, would be the sole qualifying white marlin in the tournament.
Subsequent investigation as required by the rules and regulations of the White Marlin Open indicated a possible violation of the rules. Accordingly, in an effort to achieve the utmost fairness, the White Marlin Open directors met with independent judges and complete information was provided to the judges for their input with regard to the issue of the potential violation of the rules.
After much discussion, and providing evidence of the possible violation of the tournament rules, the judges agreed that the prize would not be awarded to the boat catching the qualifying white marlin, but would, in accordance with the rules of the tournament, be withheld pending the determination of the proper recipient of the prize money.
The White Marlin Open strives to obtain the highest integrity and level of transparency in fairness in all of its awards and determination of adherence to the rules and regulations in all cases," the statement reads. "It is for these reasons that the tournament directors, in coordination with the independent judges in the tournament, have made the determination to withhold the winning prize until it can be ensured that the prize is being paid to the proper recipient thereof.
Tournament officials said that they "can't comment further right now."

The ultra wealthy, known as ultra high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs), make up a group of people who have net worths of at least $30 million. The net worth of these individuals consists of shares in private and public companies, real estate investments and personal investments, such as art, airplanes and cars.
When people with lower net worths look at these UHNWIs, many of them believe that the key to becoming ultra wealthy lies in some sort of secret investing strategy. However, this isn't normally the case. Instead, UHNWIs understand the basics of having their money work for them as well as understand how to take calculated risks.
In the words of Warren Buffet, the number-one investing rule is to not lose money. UHNWIs aren't mystics, and they don't harbor deep investing secrets. Instead, they know what simple investing mistakes to avoid. In fact, many of these mistakes are common knowledge, even among investors who are not particularly wealthy.
1. Deciding to Invest Only in the US and the EU
While developed countries such as the United States and those within the European Union are thought to offer the most investment security, this isn't necessarily the case. With the recent high risk in the EU, UHNWIs are currently looking beyond the U.S. and the EU for investments.
While many investors would rather stick to investing in developed countries in the Western world, UHNWIs have been setting their sights on frontier and emerging markets. Some of the top countries that the ultra-wealthy are investing in include Indonesia, Chile and Singapore. Of course, individual investors should do their own research on emerging markets and decide whether they fit into their investment portfolios and their overall investment strategies.
2. Choosing to Invest Only in Non-Physical Assets
When people think of investing and investing strategies, stocks and bonds normally come to mind. Whether this is due to higher liquidity or a smaller price for entry, it doesn't mean that these types of investments are always the best.
Instead, UHNWIs understand the value of physical assets, and they allocate their money accordingly. Ultra-wealthy individuals invest in such assets as private and commercial real estate, land, gold and even artwork. While it's important to invest in these physical assets, they often scare away smaller investors because of the lack of liquidity and the higher investment price point.
However, according to the ultra-wealthy, ownership in illiquid assets, especially ones that are uncorrelated with the market, is beneficial to any investment portfolio. These assets aren't susceptible to market swings, and they pay off over the long-term. For example, Yale's endowment fund has implemented a strategy that includes uncorrelated physical assets, and it has returned an average of 10.1% per year over the last decade.
3. Allocating 100% of Investments to the Public Markets
UHNWIs understand that real wealth is generated in the private markets rather than the public or common markets. The ultra-wealthy may gain a lot of their initial wealth from private businesses, often through direct business ownership or as an angel investor in private equity.
Mitt Romney was able to grow his individual retirement account (IRA) to over $100 million by investing in private equity. Additionally, top endowments, such as those run at Yale and Stanford, use private equity investments to generate high returns and add to the funds' diversification.
4. Keeping up With the Joneses
Many smaller investors are constantly looking at what their peers are doing, and they try to match or beat their investment strategies. However, not getting caught up in this type of competition is critical to building personal wealth.
The ultra-wealthy know this, and they establish personal investment goals and long-term investment strategies prior to making investment decisions. UHNWIs envision where they want to be in five, 10 or 20 years and beyond, and they adhere to an investment strategy that will get them there. Instead of trying to chase the competition or becoming scared from the inevitable economic downturn, they stay the course and stick to their guns.
Further, the ultra-wealthy are very good at not comparing their wealth to other individuals. This is a trap that many non-wealthy people fall into. UHNWIs stave off the desire to purchase a Lexus just because their neighbors are buying Lexuses. Instead, they invest the money they have to compound their investment returns. Then, when they've reached their desired level of wealth, they can cash out and buy the toys they want.
5. Failing to Rebalance a Personal Portfolio
While many people might not be 100% financially literate, everyone should understand the practice of rebalancing their portfolios. Through consistent rebalancing, investors can ensure that their portfolios remain adequately diversified and proportionally allocated. However, even if some investors have specific allocation goals, they often do not keep up with rebalancing, allowing their portfolios to skew too far one way or the other.
For the ultra-wealthy, rebalancing is a necessity. They can undertake this rebalancing monthly, weekly or even daily, but all UHNWIs rebalance their portfolios on a regular basis. For the people who don't have the time to rebalance or the money to pay someone to do it, it's possible to set rebalancing parameters with investment firms based on asset prices.
6. Omitting a Savings Strategy From a Financial Plan
Investing is the number-one way to become ultra-wealthy, but many people forget about the importance of a savings strategy. UHNWIs, on the other hand, understand that a financial plan is a dual strategy: invest wisely and save wisely.
This way, the ultra-wealthy can focus on increasing their cash inflows as well as reducing their cash outflows, increasing their overall wealth. While it might not be common to think of the ultra-wealthy as savers, UHNWIs know that living below their means from day one will allow them to achieve their desired level of wealth in a shorter amount of time.

Coprimality is a relative property of two or more integers based on their prime factorization. Two integers are coprime if and only if their greatest common divisor (GCD) is 1, otherwise they are noncoprime (co-composite, so to speak). For example, 5, 7, 33, 53 and 1729 are mutually coprime; 7909, 9746, 745789 and 10177773727 are mutually noncoprime (their GCD is 11). Mutually coprime numbers might include number pairs which are pairwise noncoprime, e.g. 6, 15, 35 are mutually coprime, but 6 and 15 are pairwise noncoprime, 15 and 35 are pairwise noncoprime, although 6 and 35 are pairwise coprime. Obviously mutually noncoprime numbers necessarily include number pairs which are all pairwise noncoprime!
|(m, n)
Pairwise coprime infinite sequences
An infinite sequence can have all its terms pairwise coprime, and it's not necessary for all terms to be prime numbers.
Sylvester's sequence (A000058) has this property, since each new term (odd) is the product of all the previous terms (even), plus 1
and some terms are composite, like 1807 (the product of 13 and 139).
The Fermat numbers (A000215) also have this property, since each new term (odd) is the product of all the previous terms (odd), plus 2

As we noted earlier, the bar was high for the ECB to surprise dovishly, yet it did just that moments ago when it announced (amid unchanged rates) that not only is it announcing a new series of TLTRO "starting in September 2019 and ending in March 2021, each with a maturity of two years", but also changed its rate guidance, extending its rate guidance beyond "at least the summer of 2019" and now sees rates on hold "at least through the end of 2019."
The full statement below:
At today's meeting the Governing Council of the European Central Bank (ECB) took the following monetary policy decisions:
(1) The interest rate on the main refinancing operations and the interest rates on the marginal lending facility and the deposit facility will remain unchanged at 0.00%, 0.25% and -0.40% respectively. The Governing Council now expects the key ECB interest rates to remain at their present levels at least through the end of 2019, and in any case for as long as necessary to ensure the continued sustained convergence of inflation to levels that are below, but close to, 2% over the medium term.
(2) The Governing Council intends to continue reinvesting, in full, the principal payments from maturing securities purchased under the asset purchase programme for an extended period of time past the date when it starts raising the key ECB interest rates, and in any case for as long as necessary to maintain favourable liquidity conditions and an ample degree of monetary accommodation.
(3) A new series of quarterly targeted longer-term refinancing operations (TLTRO-III) will be launched, starting in September 2019 and ending in March 2021, each with a maturity of two years. These new operations will help to preserve favourable bank lending conditions and the smooth transmission of monetary policy. Under TLTRO-III, counterparties will be entitled to borrow up to 30% of the stock of eligible loans as at 28 February 2019 at a rate indexed to the interest rate on the main refinancing operations over the life of each operation. Like the outstanding TLTRO programme, TLTRO-III will feature built-in incentives for credit conditions to remain favourable. Further details on the precise terms of TLTRO-III will be communicated in due course.
(4) The Eurosystem's lending operations will continue to be conducted as fixed rate tender procedures with full allotment for as long as necessary, and at least until the end of the reserve maintenance period starting in March 2021.
Here is a redline comparison from the last ECB announcement:
How the ECB statement changed pic.twitter.com/thcVqa2bXZ— Anthony Barton (@ABartonMacro) March 7, 2019
And now we await Mario Draghi how the announcement of the TLTRO is not indicative of a "serious economic shock" as it was framed back in November, and that Europe is not in fact sliding into a new recession.
The market responded immediately by sending the EURUSD sharply lower in kneejerk reaction, although much of the losses have been recouped, even as money markets pushed out the first ECB rate hike to September 2020.

It would seem from the definition of ISO-2022 that what it calls "escape sequences" is in your POSIX spec called "locking-shift encoding". Therefore, the second bullet item under the "Character Encoding" heading prohibits use of ISO-2022, for whatever uses that document defines (which, since you referenced it, I assume means locales, and possibly file system encodings, but I'm not familiar with the structure of all the POSIX standards documents). A locking-shift encoding (where the state of the character is determined by a shift code that may affect more than the single character following it) cannot be defined with the current character set description file format. Use of a locking-shift encoding with any of the standard utilities in the XCU specification or with any of the functions in the XSH specification that do not specifically mention the effects of state-dependent encoding is implementation-dependent. > From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EUC-JP: > "To get the EUC form of an ISO-2022 character, the most significant bit > of each 7-bit byte of the original ISO 2022 codes is set (by adding 128 > to each of these original 7-bit codes); this allows software to easily > distinguish whether a particular byte in a character string belongs to > the ISO-646 code or the ISO-2022 (EUC) code." > > Also: > http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/iso2022-wc.html > > >>> I'm a bit scared at the prospect that U+DCAF could turn into "/", that >>> just screams security vulnerability to me.

The only thing I saw that could exclude EBCDIC would be the requirement that the codes be positive in a char, but on a system where the C compiler treats char as unsigned, EBCDIC would qualify. Of course, the use of EBCDIC would also restrict the other possible code pages to those derived from EBCDIC (rather than the bulk of code pages that are derived from ASCII), due to: If the encoded values associated with each member of the portable character set are not invariant across all locales supported by the implementation, the results achieved by an application accessing those locales are unspecified. > iso2022-* (covered above), and shift-jisx0213 (because it has replaced \ > with yen, and - with overline). > > If it's desirable to work with shift_jisx0213, a modification of the > proposal can be made: Change the second sentence to: "When given a > non-decodable byte from 0x00 to 0x7F, that byte must be the second or > later byte in a multibyte sequence.

Recap: Indians 4, White Sox 3 (12)
Indians 4, White Sox 3 (12): Travis Hafner recorded his 200th career homer as a member of Cleveland with a pinch-hit, two-run blast in the ninth inning and Jason Donald had an RBI single in the 12th to lift the Indians to victory.
With one out in the 12th inning, Lonnie Chisenhall ripped a double before Matt Thornton (4-10) issued an intentional walk. Reliever Nate Jones promptly struck out Jack Hannahan, but Donald deposited a 1-1 slider into shallow left to score Chisenhall.
Chicago starter Jake Peavy yielded Shin-Soo Choo's leadoff homer in the fourth before cruising into the ninth with a 3-1 lead. The veteran right-hander then issued a leadoff single to Michael Brantley before Hafner tied the game with a blast over the right-field wall for his 12th homer.
Chris Seddon (1-1) retired the side in order in the 12th inning to secure the win.
After launching a grand slam in the White Sox's 11-0 series opener on Monday, Dayan Viciedo snapped a 1-1 tie by belting a two-run homer in the ninth inning off Chris Perez. The blast was Viciedo's 24th and gave him eight RBIs in the last three games.
GAME NOTEBOOK: The Indians improved to 3-2 under interim manager Sandy Alomar Jr. ... White Sox slugger Paul Konerko will have surgery on his left wrist on Thursday. ... Chicago's Alejandro De Aza missed his fourth consecutive game with the flu and Alex Rios (rest) sat out for the first time in 50 games.

These are super easy and tasty. I uploaded the picture above before I put them in the oven to show how big each biscuit should be...it annoys me when a recipe doesn't state how big each serving should be, so I thought this might helps others out. & Jen's right, USE 2 CUPS BISQUICK 2/3 CUP MILK! - 1/13/13

Heretical are a band from Italy that plays a very symphonic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2014 album "/Daemonarchist - Daemon Est Devs Inversvs" which was released by Beyond Productions.
A very dark and atmospheric keyboard intro starts off the album along with some spoken word ritualistic parts that are also used on some of the other tracks as well and after the intro the music gets a lot heavier along with some brutal blast beats, grim black metal screams and melodic guitar solos along with a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
At time clean singing can be heard in certain sections of t he recording and the band also mixes the symphonic and heavy parts together ans some of the later tracks bring in a small amount of operatic female and male vocals and all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them and on some of the tracks you can also hear elements of death and thrash metal which the back up gang shots come from being utilized along with a small amount of growling vocals and a couple of the later tracks brings in a small amount of violins and a few of the songs are also long and epic in length.
Heretical plays a style of symphonic black metal that is very ritualistic at times and also brings in elements ob brutal death metal and thrash along with a great amount of melody to create a sound of their own, the production sound s very professional while the lyrics cover Satanism, Luciferian, Left Hand Path and Occultism themes.
In my opinion Heretical are a very great sounding symphonic black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Averno Resvurrectus" "Devestate E Liberate" "Lvcifer Demasqve" and "Demon Metal".


text: Page ContentThe contingency plan for a sudden deterioration of air quality concerns short-term, high concentrations of aerial pollutants. HSY continuously monitors the amount of nitrogen dioxide, fine particles, smoke and ozone in the air. If the amounts exceed the defined limits, HSY launches measures in accordance with the contingency plan. The traffic management plan is confined to a sudden traffic-related increase in nitrogen dioxide levels in an extensive area. The participants of the contingency plan are, among others:•Helsinki Region Environmental Services Authority HSY•City of Helsinki•City of Espoo•City of Vantaa• ELY Centre of Uusimaa•HSL/HRT Helsinki Region Transport Why a contingency plan? Should the air quality suddenly deteriorate, the cities of the Helsinki Metropolitan Area will start collaboration according to the contingency plan. The operations thresholds are defined in the plan both for pollutant concentrations and their duration, and for measures to be taken by various parties in such situations. The City of Helsinki coordinates the regional measures and makes the decisions on the basis of the authorisation given by the other cities. Long-term measures for improving air quality are stated in the Air Quality Plan.

Trends & Predictions: Web Video In The New Year
by joe.h , Bob Heyman on Dec 29, 10:30 AM
Yes, Web video ad spending will be up in 2009. Perhaps not as high as the 45% currently predicted by eMarketer (and already revised down from a higher initial number), but spending will grow from this year's rather meager base of $587 million.

Smart Publishers Will Thrive In This Downturn
by Lewis Rothkopf on Dec 23, 10:45 AM
We all know what's going on out there, so let's not spend too much time on the problem -- the economy is in terrible shape. Here's the good news: smart publishers will continue to be successful in monetizing their inventory in these troubled times and will set themselves up for dramatic growth once the macroeconomic situation improves. Goods continue to be sold and advertisers continue to compete for consumers' share of wallet. So how can publishers maximize their revenue in a down economy? Here are few pointers...

Content Delivery Networks Can Distribute Your Streaming Video - But At What Cost?
by Imad Mouline on Dec 16, 5:01 PM
Delivering multimedia online represents an investment that goes beyond initial production costs. However, many online enterprises lack the technology infrastructure and resources needed to ensure the quality delivery of their streaming video. When your technology needs exceed your capabilities, yet demand more than you're willing to spend on infrastructure, it may be time to work with third-party service providers called content delivery networks (CDNs).

The Right Way To Use Video Advertising
by Joe Tartaglia on Dec 9, 2:15 PM
It's official; the video space is more complicated now than it has ever been. The quality of the content ranges from one extreme to the other -- everything from professionally produced, long-form, HD video to a video clip of a friend who dared you to eat something outrageously disgusting from a mobile device (well, it was funny, and I wanted to capture the moment).

Comparing Mumbai To Munich
by Tom Ohanian on Dec 8, 5:00 PM
Having spent eight days in India in August, I found the recent tragic events in Mumbai of particular interest as I have both business colleagues as well as friends in three of the largest cities in India. While the world watched the events play out to their terrible conclusion, I was reminded of one of the most seminal events in television history, that of watching Jim McKay's harrowing updates during the 1972 Olympic game in Munich. It's interesting to compare the two events, 36 years apart.

Video Targeting Tips
by Michael Shehan on Dec 2, 3:30 PM
In a recent article, Dan Rayburn concluded that targeting (or the lack thereof, to be precise) is hindering the success of online video advertising . As an industry stakeholder, I was both surprised and concerned by this perception. The targeting capabilities of online video ads are what give the medium so much potential. I know it gets referenced a lot, but I thought this would be a good forum to explore the targeting capabilities by providing some suggestions on how some top verticals can maximize their online video advertising campaigns with available targeting capabilities.

Is The Power Of Digital Video Enough To Attract Brand Advertising?
by ebony , Scott Ferber on Dec 1, 1:30 PM
In an industry where the "Wanamaker" question hovers over the creation of every media plan seeking to target a brand's message to the right consumer -- and the selection of media to achieve that goal -- the notion that "50% of a media buy is wasted, but which half?" seems to be more relevant today than when first quoted in the late 1800s.
