Monthly Horoscope for Taurus signHealth still needs more watching until the 23rd, but afterwards your naturally good health and vitality return. Enhance your health in the ways mentioned in the yearly report, but also pay more attention to your heart (until the 22nd) and to your small intestine.
The right diet is a health issue all month. Love is improving as well. Your love planet has been retrograde for a few months, so this is not a time for making major love decisions one way or the other, but within this retrograde love seems more harmonious.
Marrieds will have more harmony in the marriage after the 23rd. Current relationships will be more harmonious. Singles will meet interesting love opportunities after the 23rd – but with Pluto retrograde go slow in love; let it develop. This is really a period for love affairs – after the 23rd. And these seem plentiful. But serious love will need time to develop. Your 4th house of home and family is still strong until the 23rd. So what we wrote last month still applies until the 23rd.
The Sun enters your 5th house on the 23rd. Venus, the lord of your horoscope, enters on the 22nd. So you begin another yearly personal pleasure peak. A time to enjoy life and explore the 'rapture' side of life.
You will be more involved with children – either your own or in general. You get on better with them these days – because you feel more youthful, more like a child, and you relate to them as equals. Finances are good overall, but your financial planet is retrograde most of the month (from the 3rd to the 26th). Once again, this is a time for reviewing your finances – reviewing your products or services and seeing where improvements can be made. This is not the time to make changes, but to mull them over and get more facts. Major investments in the home – or major family expenses – need a lot more homework. Things are not really as you think they are.
Your financial planet in the sign of Leo for most of the month (from the 8th onwards) can make you overly speculative and an impulsive spender – tendencies that you should resist right now. Last month the planets made an important shift from the independent, eastern sector to the social western sector. This month the western sector is the dominant one.
You've had months of personal independence and now it is time to cultivate the social skills. Now you rather have to live with the conditions you've created over the past few months – not so easy to change them now. Adapt as best you can and make notes on what can be improved when your next 'independent' phase comes (next January). This is the meaning of the term

"If you are single there is one thing you should always bring out with you on a saturday night. Your friends." Carrie Bradshaw said that line in the season four premiere of Sex and the City. Last night, my friends and I had no trouble following her advice. New Years Eve is the day to have an excuse to party hard, drink way too much than you can handle, and have fun with strangers. Well, "Carrie", "Miranda", "Stacy", and I had no problem doing that last night, and I have the hangover to prove it.
New Years in the city is an event that one has to plan out. The subway is free that night, which makes transportation seem much better. But, one can imagine how insanely crowded it becomes. Everyone, of course, takes advantage of it. That's why it is good to wear your most comfortable heels. Last night alone, I walked a good 30 blocks away from where I started to get a cab back uptown. And I was lucky in that sense.
The bars are CRAZY. You can tell that the underaged teenagers are trying to flirt their way in to the best clubs and restaurants. Clubs usually get leisurely about who they let in. They know everyone just wants to have a good time. It can get expensive ordering cosmo upon champagne upon sea breeze in the bars. I'm not going to say that it's worth it in the end, because I'm suffering like crazy. But it was amazing while it lasted.
All I can suggest if you do have a half bottle of Veuve-Cliquot, 4 cosmopolitans, and a few shots and a beer or two, eat lots of carbs and drink lots of water. Remember you're not in it alone. I'm guessing a good 70-75% of Americans are feeling your pain.
So, in conclusion, think about your New Years resolutions. Good luck with everything you are doing this year and I hope everyone has amazingly happy years!

Fall is coming. And, like any other New Yorker, I'm scouting out the newest trends. Whatever keeps you warm and is fashionable, I'll take. I can't wait for the smell chestnuts roasting in midtown, the sight of your breath, the Macy's day parade, the Christmas trees at Rock center and Lincoln center, and of course, the first snow of the year. There's nothing more comforting to me than sitting by a fire in Hamptons, listening to Christmas carols, having Hot Cocoa, and decorating our Christmas tree. Anyway, before all of the holidays begin, here are some of my suggestions for ways to keep you warm:
The Perfect Pinstriped Pant (casual or fancy)- Urban Outiftters
Grey Jeans (paired with many cute coats)- Urban Outiftters
Blue Jeans (these are really comfy)- Urban Outfitters
Cords (Very warm, an incessant fall favorite)- Urban Outfitters
A Knit Sweater (Add color to your outfit)- Urban Outfitters
A Comfy Wool Sweater (Love the design on this one)- J. Crew
Andrew Marc Wool Katie Coat (Formal white dress)- Saks
Ellie Tahari Mink Vest (So fashionable and warm)- Saks

This statue of Kwan Yin is 15" tall and 5" wide and deep. It weighs 3.25 pounds. It is made of cold cast bronze, a process in which bronze powder is mixed with a resin and molded. The detail of the statues made by this company are amazing and truly capture the spirit of Kwan Yin. Symbols, meanings and healing energy of Kwan Yin: Kwan Yin (sometimes also known as Kuan Yin, Quan Yin or Guan Yin) is revered in Eastern cultures as the goddess of mercy, compassion and forgiveness. In the west, she is respected as an ascended master who symbolizes these same qualities. She is frequently depicted holding a vase pointed downward, symbolizing pouring out mercy for all people. She is associated with children and birth. Women ask her for help in getting pregnant or in having a smooth birth. Some statues and pictures depict her holding a small child. She often holds a pearl in her hand, reflecting her association with the water of the sea. She is almost always depicted standing on a lotus flower. The lotus was thought to be the first flower on earth and it is the divine pattern of the "I AM Presence."

GRE | Graduate Record Exam | GMAC | B-School | ETS | analytical writing |
GRE ( Graduate Record Exam) has made changes in its exam pattern read on to know more…..
Understanding the main subject gains it weight yet in another test for the students who are aiming high, the GRE- Graduate Record Exam – conducted by The Graduate Management Admissions Council (GMAC), braces up to conduct this entrance test for the admissions in B-School. By this new pattern the Educational Testing Service (ETS) and the GMAC believes that they will get talented students rather than the people who are rote learners. The new pattern of the GRE is to test the analytical ability of the student than to test what he/she remembers from his books which was the previous style of the test.
Taking into consideration of the need of people who think in an out-of-the-world style ETS, the developer and administrator of the Graduation Record Examination (GRE) has brought in a few though major changes in the exam pattern. ETS believes the new test will be more user friendly and flexible providing the test takers the freedom to use more of their own test-taking style and strategies.
The new format of the computer-based GRE general test will allow students to move back and forth throughout an entire section to change or edit responses, even skip questions and attempt them later — a feature which was not available in the earlier format. One more aim for changing the format seems to be emphasizing on the reasoning ability of the student rather than to test him with what he /she would obviously have known.
Soon after, ETS entered the B-school market selling the product as an alternative to GMAT, as it no longer had to abide by a non-compete clause with its former partner. When ETS approached B-schools, the management institutions wanted GRE to be along the lines of an MBA aptitude test. As the earlier format tested the memory of the student more than their capability of reasoning, GRE must have thought of bringing about the changes," says an expert.
With MBA programmes across the world looking for a diverse and excellent pool of candidates, B-schools have begun accepting GRE scores too, while the actual purpose of GRE being to serve as an entrance exam to pursue their masters degree in US, and graduate and fellowship programmes across the globe.

According to the revised format, the overall testing time is about three hours and 45 minutes. There are six sections in the revised test — one analytical writing section with two separately-timed writing tasks; two verbal reasoning sections; two quantitative reasoning sections and one un-scored section.
One more noticeable change in the format of exam is that an on screen calculator will be available to the students for the quantitative reasoning test, a step taken so that the concentration lies completely on the quantitative part rather than on computation.
The GRE revised General Test is the most widely accepted and accessible graduate admissions test in the world. Today, GRE scores are used by thousands of graduate and business school programs worldwide, including more than 600 MBA programs. Each year prospective graduate and business school applicants from 230 countries and regions take the test.

There are plenty of web sites that grow and sell gynura Procumbens and make very interesting claims, such as cancer cure, diabetes, aids, blood pressure, cholesterol, etc. The only statement I make is that my Gynura plants are cheaper than anybody elses.
Gynura is not hardy at all, any frost will kill it . All claims I have seen ask you to have a gynura salad (use the leaves) daily. In order to do this you will have to have about 6 plants, that is the reason I will not sell you one plant, I will sell you 6 of them and they come in a 6 plant pack, in their own soil.
Most of the plants are ready to be transplanted, you can start moving them to 2 to 4 gallon pots. In the meantime, keep them in the packs and mist them as often as you can to prevent dehydration. Keep your plants in a sunny window at room temperature when outside tempertures are below 40 degrees. In late Spring, Summer and early Fall, keep the containers outside. The leaves of the gynura procumbens do not taste bad, just like lettuce and you can either eat them in salads or include them in soups or with any other dishes. Trimming plants only forces them to grow faster, so trim, trim, trim.
Within weeks you should be able to start taking leaves. Even before you start taking leaves, you can take cuttings and make many more plants for yourself, your family or friends, you can even sell them.
I am including with this kit 8 doses of Osmocote fertilizer and a measuring scoop. When you transplant them, sprinkle a scoopful of Osmocote around each plant. The Osmocote will disolve within 9 months. If you want to propagate them (and most people want to do that) just take tip cuttings (2 or 3 leaves) dip the cut end in the Rooting hormone included and then put them in moist soil. remove the top half of the leaves to prevent dehydration. Mist them daily. The cuttings will have rooted within a week.
Overseas customers: Yes, I ship all over the world. I have shipped these plants to Australia, Portugal, Brazil, Romania, and believe it or not, Mongolia. Here is what you do: Since the cart will not accept your address, send me your full name and address and $50 via Paypal. I know postage will be at least $10 more than local shipping. My plants are labeled as "Medicinal Plants".
Please be aware I don't send half empty containers, I ship 6 plants every time, and I have no reason to short change you. If you have any plants missing, check the package and see if it looks like it has been opened. or tampered with.
When you get your gynura plants, please inspect them carefully, Gynuras attract aphids (very small insects that can multiply rapidly if not controlled) and you should always be aware of that. There are many solutions to get rid of aphids, I tried many, but the one I use is Neem Oil. You can find it on the Internet, it is not expensive. Mix 1/2 tsp of neem with 1/2 tsp Ivory dishwashing liquid, and a pint of warm water (oil solidifies if you use cold water). Shake that well and spray the plants with it. Tops, bottoms and all the way around. Discard the mixture when done because its half life is only a few hours. Apply this neem to the plants every other day for a few days. The neem does not kill the aphids but it disrupts their environment so they eventually die. By the time you finish the plants will be growing again fast and very green. Once you get rid of the aphids, spray the plants about every 2 weeks to be sure they don't come back. I have noticed that during the summer, the aphids are not a problem.
If you have trouble placing an order, just send me a money order and don't forget to include your name and mailing address. I will take care of it right away.
I keep at least 10 kits of these plants ready to be shipped at any time, any season.
Note: During the winter there are changes in the color of these two plants, procumbens and crepioides. To set the record straight, the bottom of the leaves is always purple on the crepioides and always green in the procumbens.
Do you have canaries or finches? All birds just love gynura Procumbens . Maybe they know something we don't! Feed them some gynura, if gynura is good for people it is even better for the birds. notice the difference in only days. Order Gynura plants below.
Not interested in buying 6 plants? You can order only one at this page.
Scroll to the bottom of the page.

So for a very long time I have been dreaming about a super rare, premium bag that is super pro level in all regards. It may be purposefully hard to get a hold of and top-shelf in design and quality.
The logo will be made out of a carved gemstone and I will call it "Obsidian".
This is not that bag.
This is my first attempt at making the Obsidian bag and really, this is the "Void" bag.
Black on black with black logo.
I love the idea of black bags, I love the idea of featureless voids (there is a building on the skyline of Portland, Oregon that I call the "Black Obelisk" it is a super cool black void box on the hillside among all the lit office floors of the surrounding buildings, this has NO lights, not even reflective glass. It's so so so cool).
Anyway, like it or not my fellow gamers, I have to release this Void. It's so cool to ME!
Coming in a couple weeks BTW.

SYDNEY (Reuters) - The conservative government of Australia's New South Wales state won re-election on Saturday, clearing the way for the country's largest privatization, a stake in a state-owned electricity network for an expected A$17 billion ($13 billion). State Premier Mike Baird, who campaigned on a promise to lease 49 percent of New South Wales' energy network to fund new infrastructure, held a predicted 53 of the 93 state Legislative Council seats, with just over half of the votes counted.
He survived a considerable swing against his government amid widespread anti-privatization sentiment by promising to use the proceeds to fund road and rail projects to ease congestion in traffic-choked Sydney. The result allows Baird and his coalition government to push ahead with a sale that already has attracted some of the world's largest infrastructure investors, including China's State Grid and several pension funds and sovereign wealth funds. "We sought a mandate to make New South Wales great and tonight the people of New South Wales have given us that mandate," Baird told supporters in Sydney.
Voters have "chosen hope over fear", he said, following an opposition scare campaign over the privatization plan.
As well as pumping cash into the debt-riddled economy of Australia's most populous state, the sale will revive a federal government plan to sell A$130 billion of state-owned infrastructure nationwide.
Two months ago, the neighboring state of Queensland voted out its government over its proposal to sell A$30 billion of port and power assets.
While the electoral victory means Baird will press ahead with the electricity sale, it also means his questioning by the Australian authorities about his office's dealings with sale adviser UBS AG will come under additional scrutiny. Earlier in March, Baird confirmed that his office had asked UBS, which is jointly advising on the sale with Deutsche Bank AG, to reissue an analyst report removing a reference to the sale being "bad for the budget".
Corporate regulator the Australian Securities and Investments Commission said it had asked the government to hand over information about its communications with UBS, saying the bank may have failed to separate its banking and advisory work adequately. Baird's victory will come as a relief for one of the country's largest energy firms, Santos Ltd, which the opposition Labor and Greens parties had said they wanted to stop from proceeding with its A$2 billion Narrabri coal seam gas project in the state's north. Baird's government has been buying back coal seam gas licenses in the state to neutralize opposition to the controversial energy production method, but has agreed to let Santos proceed with its project.

SeaWorld Entertainment disclosed Wednesday that it is working on a deal that could result in multiple new parks in the Middle East, but offered no further details.
The news came in the company's quarterly earnings report, which revealed, as expected, that attendance at SeaWorld's 11 theme parks dropped 13 percent, to a little more than 3 million visitors, during the first quarter, while revenues fell 11 percent.
While not disclosing its partner in the multi-park deal, SeaWorld said it "has an established track record of opening and operating world-class attractions."
The company added, "We have worked diligently with our partner to identify the best theme park concepts and potential locations in the region and are moving forward into the next stage of the project."
The potential for an overseas development has been alluded to in the past but Wednesday's announcement was the most specific to date. Still, despite efforts by analysts to learn more about the project, SeaWorld executives said they could reveal no more. Chances are, however, something firm will materialize from the memorandum of understanding that SeaWorld has entered into, they added.
"We wouldn't have discussed the deal in our earnings call if we didn't like the chances of getting something done," said Jim Heaney, chief financial officer for SeaWorld.
For the first quarter of 2014, SeaWorld said it generated revenues of $212.3 million, down from $238.6 million the same quarter a year ago. It boasted, however, that its per capita revenue of $69.72, up 2.2 percent, was a new record. The company said the lower overall revenues were driven largely by a drop in attendance, fueled in part by Easter falling in the second quarter instead of the first, as it did last year.
That in turn caused a shift in the spring break holiday period for schools, SeaWorld explained. Revenues tend to be much lower in general during the early months of the year because many of the company's parks shut down because of colder weather.
"Attendance was also impacted by adverse weather, particularly above average precipitation in the Florida market as well as below average temperatures in the Texas market for the first quarter of 2014," the company stated.
By comparison, visitation at all of SeaWorld's parks fell 1.4 percent during the final quarter of 2013, although the company reported record attendance at its SeaWorld-branded parks during that period.
SeaWorld Entertainment CEO Jim Atchison noted in an earnings webcast Wednesday that April was a very strong month, so much so that through the end of last month revenues were down by just 3 percent.
Overall, SeaWorld said its net losses after expenses were $49.4 million, about $9 million more than the losses incurred a year earlier.
SeaWorld' stock price fell nearly 2 percent to $29.34 at the close of trading on Wednesday.
While attendance declines may also be explained by higher admission prices, it's still difficult to ascertain what impact the continuing controversy over SeaWorld's killer whales has had. The company continues to wage a social media campaign defending its breeding or orcas and their use in Shamu shows.
SeaWorld also was targeted this year in recent California legislation that sought to shut down the killer whale shows and its breeding program. A legislative committee took no action and instead opted to revisit the issue next year.
"We acknowledge that negative publicity for your brand is never good but we feel good about our efforts through our truth campaign and social media to really set the story straight as to our care for animals," said Atchison, who did not say whether the publicity has affected attendance.

I was looking for help with the renaming of obfuscated posts. First, thank you for your continued work to get these posts readable by Newsbin search!
I am currently using the newsbin watchlists to get TV shows and, for the most part, it has been finding them and downloading the files but when I look at the downloaded file, it is still obfuscated rather than the name it was found with. Is there a setting I am missing?
i am using Newsbin Pro 6.81B2 build 5065
Here is an example:
- The watchlist searches for "Stuff"
- When I do the search manually, I can see "<Stuff....> 3206a34......." (plus many more results)
- When I download the file, it doesn't use the readable name of "Stuff..." but instead stays as "3206a34..."
Since it can figure out the readable name (Stuff...), can I save the file using this readable name somehow?
Thanks in advance!

"How to Survive the Holidays"
"Alone for the Holidays"
"Tips for Singles for the Christmas Season"
Who writes these things, anyway? Psychologists? Suicide-prevention specialists? Grief counselors?
I'm pretty sure that the authors of these dismal checklists do not spend these onerous winter days alone. I know they mean well. But really? "Call a friend" "Take a walk" "Avoid excess" … As if we haven't thought of these ourselves!?!
I don't believe that being alone and feeling calm, satisfied–or even happy–during the holidays is a matter of following those classic checklists.
Here's my "checklist"–which consists of one item–from me, a real-life person who has been alone for the holidays.
I believe that "surviving" holidays alone, is a matter of being intentional.
So, determine what the holidays mean for you. Simple, right? But most of us don't get analytical about "the holidays"–and this is what can trap us. The more we determine what touches us about these days, the more we can shape the season for ourselves.
For example, when I was a girl, one year we were at my grandmother's during winter. She had a Christmas cactus that bloomed brightly (against a barren, snowy Montana backdrop). So now, seeing a cactus blooming at this time of year helps me feel connected to how Christmas was in my girlhood, and to family members who have passed, and I find a way to include those blooms–even if it is only a trip to the garden store.
This is something that I can do–all by myself–that nurtures a very old part of my heart during Christmas. But I had to identify that the simple Christmas cactus was that kind of important to me.
It's the little things. The subtle things.
It is the little things that bring us joy, and it is the little things that bring us angst. And we can get caught in belittling our attachment to the little things, and then neglect them out of chagrin. We dismiss what is important to us, because it seems petty or silly.
I encourage you to never pass up seeking something that feels important, just because it may seem little, or simple, or "stupid". The smell of cinnamon. Ice skating. Caramel. Poinsettias. Frango mints. Even the craziness of a shopping mall. Wearing socks with Santa embroidered on them. And so on.
Think about childhood. Flip through old photos or diaries. What things do you associate with "the holidays" and can bring into these winter months–intentionally?
Wait. What about those things that are negatively associated? Identify those, too. Ponder them to sort out why they are associated, and why there are negative feelings. And then you can deal with them consciously, intentionally–which may be the only key you need to have a better experience with it this time around. And remember to tackle those associations which are about being single, or not being single. For example, if there always seems to be happy couples and families at the skating rink–find a way to address this so it works for you: bring a friend, borrow a child, don't go at all.
Oh, office parties and the like? Think about them.
Actually, spend some time looking over the calendar for the days ahead, and put some intention behind each engagement.
Really, that's the key to "surviving" and even enjoying doing this on our own: intention. Finding what brings us joy. Identifying what brings us angst. And designing or re-designing the days accordingly–as much as we can.
I just spent Thanksgiving "alone"–me and the dog. I was actually kind of keen on it–at the outset. I was looking forward to an abundance of peace and quiet, and I had four movies on hand to go with a pile of mending to do (expecting I'd feel decadent and accomplished when the day was done). I had a piece of pumpkin pie stashed in the fridge … for me that seemed the most symbolic aspect of Thanksgiving.
Things were all groovy–until I started seeing the posts on Facebook … my friends' dinner menus and their frivolities, photos of fun that did not include me. Then I felt distant. I felt my alone-ness underscored. So I returned to my intentions.
I plated up that piece of pumpkin pie, towered it with whipped cream. I took the now-empty pie plate, and towered it with whipped cream too–and called the dog. He had his pie tin with crusts and cream, I had my plate of goodness. We shared. Together–not really alone.
Photo by me, of the iced over puddles that the dog and I ran through. Looks a little desolate, but it was a beautiful morning.

It is likely Facebook did not acquire the company or its technology because of its recent acquisition of Instagram. As the social network plans to keep Instagram as a standalone app, the opportunity for Lightbox was diminishing. According to the Google Play store, Lightbox had between 1 million and 5 million installs. Instagram has between 10 million and 50 million.What Facebook gains is a team that's focused on mobile and Android specifically. Facebook is seeking to building out its mobile offerings and determine the best way to monetize the rapidly growing user base that accesses the social network from mobile devices. In addition to its $1-billion Instagram purchase, the company also picked up ambient mobile location app Glancee and mobile loyalty startup Tagtile this year.According to TechCrunch, seven Lightbox employees will join Facebook. This includes Lightbox co-founder Thai Tran, who was previously a product manager for YouTube and Google Maps."The Lightbox team has incredible experience developing innovative mobile products that people love. We look forward to welcoming this world-class team of engineers to Facebook," Facebook said in a statement.Exisiting Lightbox users can continue to visit Lightbox.com and download their photos here. Lightbox says it will open-source portions of the app's code for other developers to build upon.Facebook had 488 million users access its site through its mobile site or mobile apps in March. On Monday, the social network redesigned its mobile News Feed so that photos display three times larger. Sharehttp://adweek.it/2jHkGxK copy Adweek Adweek

11 of the strangest driving laws from around the world
Driving in a foreign country has it's difficulties. Not only could you be on the wrong side of the road, you may very well be on the wrong side of the law if you're not aware of some really strange, but really serious driving laws. Before you pack your bags and head out to explore the world, make sure you read up on a few of the oddest international driving laws we've found:
You will be fined if you're caught driving in a dirty car.
By law, you must check under your car for human stowaways before starting your engine
You must always carry a spare pair of glasses in your car, just incase yours somehow break or fly out the window.
Drunk Driving? Bad. Driving without your own personal breathalyzer kit? That'll cost you 11 Euros in fines.
You must have a 3 metre tow rope and a tow bar in your car at all times.
You cannot block your own driveway with your car.
Taxi drivers must carry a bail of hay and a bag of oats in their trunk.
You must keep your headlights on 24 hours a day (when driving).
No drinking and driving. Period. That means anything... even water or coffee.
Men and women must wear a shirt at all times while driving.
If you splash mud on a pedestrian you will receive a $65 fine.

CONTROL of Hyndburn Council remains with the Conservatives after they increased their one-seat majority to three.
Tory councillor Sue Haworth tightened her party's grip after taking Altham Ward from Labour.
The night saw Conservatives retain all seven of their seats which were being contested. The Conservatives now hold 19 seats, compared to Labour's 13, with three independents.
Labour party leader Coun Graham Jones kept hold of his seat in Accrington's Peel ward, but the party failed to make the one overall gain they needed to wrestle overall control from the Tories.
Cabinet member Allah Dad emerged victorious and retained his seat after a tight battle with Labour's Tariq Ali and Lib Dem's Ifty Khan in Central ward while Labour stalwart John McCormack lost his bid for a town hall comeback when he failed to take the seat of overview and scrutiny committee chairman Brian Walmsley in St Andrew's ward.
Returning council leader Coun Peter Britcliffe said: "It's an outstanding victory for us. Besides holding difficult seats, we have gained Altham, which we have not held for many years and we have increased our majority in Hyndburn Council. We are absolutely delighted with the result, which we have worked very hard towards."
Coun Jones said: "We are not disappointed. We have seen how committed the Labour group are to residents. The Conservatives have only won by a handful of votes, when the wind is in their sails. I would like to thank all the Conservative supporters in Hyndburn who voted for us, because there are a lot of them.
"They committed to something they do not believe in nationally because they were more concerend about the local council. They are the real heroes."
Coun Haworth's victory in Altham marks her return to the council following a six-year break. She said: "I'm very pleased, I had no idea which way it would go. It can be very close and you never know how low the turn-out will be. I have no plans at present for the ward, I'm more interested in hearing what the people there have in mind for a while."
Hyndburn turn-out of votes was 37.9%, similar to last year. Hyndburn was controlled by Labour for 15 years until 1999 when the Tories won power. They have stayed in control ever since except for the 2002/03 year.

It's one thing to make a jello shot, it's a whole other ballpark to turn jello into origami. That's just what this three minute video from the folks at My Jello Americans will teach you.
Basically, you'll need granulated gelatin, a bit of water and tons of food coloring. After you mix and microwave the ingredients together you'll 'paint' the liquid over gelatin veining sheets and chill.
The video has been around for a while but it's really the coolest thing ever. To learn how to make all sorts of designs just head right on over to My Jello Americans.

Over the course of five decades, Dale Chihuly has explored new and old techniques, pushing the boundaries of contemporary art. He draws inspiration from the world around him, creating statements using color and form to capture the imagination, and catapult beyond conventional ideas of function and beauty. Chihuly's work is included in more than 200 museum collections worldwide including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Corning Museum of Glass. Major exhibitions include Chihuly Over Venice (1995-96), Chihuly in the Light of Jerusalem (1999), de Young Museum in San Francisco (2008), the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (2011), Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond (2012) and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Montreal, Canada (2013.) Chihuly Garden and Glass opened at Seattle Center in 2012.
Dale Chihuly
American, b. 1941
Chihuly was born on 20 September 1941 in Tacoma, Washington, the son of a butcher and a housewife with a keen interest in gardening. In earliest childhood, he was already fascinated by the qualities of glass, collecting pieces he found on the beaches of Puget Sound. During his initial degree course, studying interior design and architecture at the University of Washington in Seattle in the early 1960s, he learned to melt and fuse glass. His first award, while still an undergraduate, was earned from the Seattle Weavers' Guild in 1964 for innovative use of glass and fibre.
After working as a designer at John Graham Architects in Seattle in 1965 and a period fishing commercially in Alaska, Chihuly won a scholarship enabling him to enrol for a Master of Science in sculpture at the University of Wisconsin at Madison (1966–1967). There he took part in America's first hot-glass programme, run by Harvey K. Littleton, founder of the studio glass movement. His training continued with a Master of Fine Arts in ceramics at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in Providence, where he embarked on installations of blown glass. Forming organic shapes as much by gravity as by tooling, he filled them with gas that vividly illuminated constructions the size of a room.
In 1968, Chihuly used a Fulbright Fellowship to visit Europe and became the first American glassblower to work at the Venini factory in Venice, on the island of Murano where glassmaking has thrived since the tenth century. The Italian practice of teamwork contrasted with Littleton's more individualised approach and was to become a significant method of working for Chihuly and his team. Returning to the United States, he set up a glass programme at RISD and taught there for the next 11 years, additionally co-founding Pilchuck Glass School, an international centre in Washington State.
Despite two serious accidents in the 1970s that left him without sight in his left eye and with a damaged shoulder, Chihuly has pursued a long and successful creative career, conceiving and supervising the realisation of fantastic works of art in glass, recording ephemeral works on camera and DVD, publishing over 20 books and forever extending the range of glass art in the open air. His sources of inspiration are diverse, including Native American art and Japanese flower arranging, the sea and Italian glassware of the interwar years. Among the series he has developed are 'Navajo Blanket Cylinders' and 'Baskets' in the 1970s; 'Seaforms', 'Macchia' (Italian for 'spotted'), 'Persians' and 'Venetians' in the 1980s; 'Chandeliers' and 'Towers' in the 1990s; and, since the year 2000, 'Fiori' ('flowers') and 'Silvered'.
Chihuly originates his concepts as drawings or paintings, working at floor level to create fluid designs that are a festival of motion and colour. While his earlier works were more muted, 'Macchia' consciously used all the 300 hues at his disposal. Many subsequent installations are intensely colourful, either exploring one vibrant shade, like Scorpion Tails and Bamboo (Phoenix, Arizona, 2008–2009), or as a kaleidoscopic display, as in the 17 metre long Mille Fiori (de Young Museum, San Francisco, 2008). He has constantly experimented with line, fusing glass threads into blanket cylinders, ribbing the surfaces of Seaforms, highlighting the edges of the 'Macchia' series with lip wraps and basing the entire forms of chandeliers and towers on a vast nest of intertwining, elongated tubes of blown glass.
Chihuly's largest projects are linked with architecture and landscape. Indoors he may create a tower to fill a stairwell or fashion a ceiling of multicoloured glass pieces – most famously, the 2,000 flowers of Fiori di Como in Las Vegas. Outside, he has hung chandeliers fabricated in four different countries – Mexico, the United States, Ireland and Finland – over the canals of Venice as a gesture of gratitude for what he learned in the city (1995–1996). His Chihuly in the Light of Jerusalem 2000 project placed white and deep blue glass towers amidst ancient ruins in the courtyard of the Tower of David Museum, while his 'Garden' cycle began in the glasshouses and grounds of Chicago's Garfield Park Conservatory (2001) and has included, among many locations, Kew Gardens in London (2005), the New York Botanical Garden (2006) and the Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan (2010). With organic forms that sometimes blend in with their surroundings and sometimes startle, he invents gardens of delight where sunlight plays on delicately translucent surfaces and nature and art interact subtly.
The recipient of many awards, Chihuly holds twelve honorary doctorates and two fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts. His works are held in the permanent collections of over 200 museums worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Among his private collectors are Hillary Clinton and Sir Elton John.
Since 1967 Chihuly has exhibited internationally, from Brazil to New Zealand and from Iceland to Japan. During the past decade, 99 organisations around the world have presented his artworks for the enjoyment of more than 12 million people. Venues in 2011–2012 included Tacoma Art Museum, Washington; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Massachusetts; Fort Collins Museum of Art, Colorado; Oklahoma City Museum of Art; Sandra Ainsley Gallery, Toronto, Canada; Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond, Virginia; and his inaugural exhibition at Halcyon Gallery, London, which attracted over 70,000 visitors. In the build-up to the London 2012 Olympic Games, a monumental new outdoor sculpture commissioned by the gallery, Torchlight Chandelier, was installed on Park Lane.
An exhibition and art garden devoted entirely to Chihuly's work, constructed at the Seattle Center in Washington State, was opened in May 2012 to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of the 1962 World's Fair. It is conceived on a grand scale, with monumental outdoor installations of his signature Chandeliers, Towers and Reeds, a sizable exhibition hall and a glasshouse of some 400 square metres displaying an immense suspended sculpture of around 2,000 elements in shades of oxblood red, orange, amber and citron yellow.
Chihuly's second exhibition at Halcyon Gallery, Dale Chihuly: Beyond the Object opened in London in February 2014. Focused on the relationship between artworks and the space that surrounds them, which the artist believes is profoundly important, the show featured theatrical set-pieces that responded with animation to the architecture of the gallery. To coincide with the display, Harrods in London unveiled Amber and Gold Chandelier, the only work ever to have been commissioned by the world famous department store.
In April 2014 Chihuly unveiled The Sun; a 5.5 metre sculpture placed in Berkeley Square, London in the presence of the Lord Mayor of Westminster.,. The sculpture remained in situ until January 2015 for the public to enjoy. This was followed by Dale Chihuly: Lumìere, the first ever exhibition of Chihuly's Acrylic Light Drawings, which opened at Halcyon Gallery in December 2014. During the same month, the ambitious exhibition Chihuly at Fairchild: A Garden of Glass, , opened at the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, an 83 acre tropical oasis in Miami, Florida.
In 2015, the Museum of Glass, Tacoma premiered Chihuly Drawings; a retrospective touring exhibition celebrating the significance of the artist's two dimensional work. Organised across mediums —graphite, charcoal, and acrylic, the thirty-five year survey was guest curated by renowned art historian Barry Rosen. The same year saw Toyama Glass Art Museum in Toyama, Japan commission permanent installations of Chihuly's artwork to feature within the new 27,000 sqm cultural complex designed by architect Kengo Kuma.
Public demand for Chihuly's artwork continues apace. In 2016 - the year of his 75th birthday - the artist has presented simultaneous museum and garden exhibitions at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens in America and at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, Canada. Significantly, Chihuly has also been commissioned to create installations for a philanthropic healing arts program at the Fred and Pamela Buffett Cancer Center in Omaha, Nebraska. A place of respite and reflection, the Chihuly Sanctuary is designed to be a stress-reducing environment that will help to give an improved sense of well-being to patients, families and staff of the Cancer Center when it opened in the spring of 2017.
'Dale Chihuly is not just a major player in the art world; he's one of those rare people who have actually changed the game', writes Ben Bamsey in Artworks magazine. 'While glass has been around for 5,000 years and artists have been blowing it for 2,000, Chihuly came along and changed the shape and scale of the medium, also the way in which it is crafted and presented. Chihuly and his team have invented more techniques than can be stuffed into a da Vinci sketchbook. His revolutionary approach to glass blowing elevated the industry from craft to fine art.'

And lo, the first time I laid eyes upon the tub installed in the bathroom there rested upon it a single shaft of light brought forth from the heavens. And when I saw it I said, 'this is good.'
Okay. So the shaft of light was a bit up and to the right, but still a pretty momentous occasion. Never take for granted the ability to take a bath, inside your own home. This small wonder of modern Roman engineering is quite a nice addition to any home.
In other news, K and I painted the kitchen yesterday before I ran off to my Serenaders gig. We are looking at the results under various lighting conditions to see if we can get away with one coat. So far I am impressed withe covering ability of the Aura paint. We may have gotten lucky.
Not much happened on the renovation today. Carpenters are on hold until the shoring company comes to level the house — scheduled for next Wednesday. And the electricians appear to be off on another job.
K & I decided to invite a few folks over for a beer in honor of Saint Arnold's Day. Any excuse to sit on the porch and drink a beer. The evening was going swimmingly until Stanley (our slightly crazy dog) decided to engage in a stand-off with an equally crazy cat under the house. At first I thought Stanley had trapped the cat and attempted — while crawling under the house in the dark — to provide cover for the cat to escape. Then I determined that the cat was holding Stanley hostage and attempted to toss various pieces of detritus at the cat to distract him so Stanley could make his escape. Turns out Stanley and the Cat were two crazy souls who had found each other and neither had any interest in escaping. They were locked in some weird under-the-house cage match and were determined to take each other down. K later referred to them as Sid and Nancy — which I think is the best description.
Finally, with the help of Rob, Ben, and Susan, we were able to coax Stanley away from the cat and out from under the house — where he proceeded to act as if nothing had happened.
While not much happened today, it appears that tomorrow could be a big day for the old house.

From rabbit breeder clubs to next level playgrounds – and one tasty cake in particular, you will find that there are lots of enjoyable reasons to move to Germany. Also, in practical terminology the German employment market is strong with working conditions that are decent. The much-rewarded apprenticeship program has helped keep the unemployment of youngsters down. As opposed to many other nations, vocational schooling is greatly regarded in Germany and manual occupations are believed an equally legitimate employment opportunity. As a matter of fact, the former Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, started his profession having a vocational apprenticeship. With that said, below are some things to know when moving to Germany from Canada.
Voltage in Germany is 220-240 volts, which is double the 110 volts in Canada. Plugging several 110-volt gadgets into that current may ruin them. Luckily, Canadians are going to be discouraged from making this error due to the wall plug. The prongs that are on the German plugs are rounder rather than flat, therefore theirs will not go into a German outlet. Adapter plugs, to be able to use the German electric plugs, tend to be inexpensive and accessible; however they only solve 1/2 the issue. There is nevertheless the voltage to deal with. Many personal computers, electric shavers, camcorders, irons and other gadgets are being manufactured multi-voltage now, however make sure you check. Other 110-volt gadgets can be run with transformers.
The weather inside Germany is temperate, therefore the clothing the majority of expats have should do once they get there. Pack as many clothes as possible. If you wish to take advantage of the wonderful ski resorts, which will be accessible to you pack a few warmer clothes and equipment accordingly.
Working and Living in Germany
Canadians who will be living or working in Germany need a visa (Aufenthaltstitel). Visas may be requested at the Ottawa German Embassy or Consulate within your location. Make sure you consult the site of the German Embassy to get information on German permits.
Younger Canadians between the age ranges of 18 to 35 may obtain a simplified work permit within the "Youth Mobility Program". The application form may only be submitted in Canada at the Ottawa German Embassy or German consulate within their respective location.
Choosing your Shipping Company
You should opt for a shipping company that will take proper care of your belongings and ship them to you quickly and in exactly the same condition as they were when they were entrusted to them. As you likely know, researching is the best policy; however you need to put together a list of freight-forwarders.
While not necessary, it is helpful to choose local Canadian companies if you can find any. By doing this, it will be possible to go to their offices and get a much better sense of how they do business. Resolving problems may be less difficult this way. When moving to Germany from Canada, the importing specifications will differ, therefore it is essential to ensure that the shipping company you are thinking about has verified experience importing into your location.

Email is an incredibly efficient way to market to your audience. Unlike the visitors who wander onto your site from search engine traffic, your email list is filled with subscribers who intentionally opted-in to hear from you on a regular basis.
Don't get caught up in a numbers game. Whether your email list contains 10 people or 10,000, you can launch a successful email marketing campaign.
Below are some email marketing best practices from small business owners and marketing professionals. A big thank you to everyone who offered their favorite tips! Let's get started!
The Dos…
Find out which email marketing software is right for you by reading our in-depth buyer's guide.
2. Use personalization in your emails.
Brianna Valleskey, Marketing Consultant and Owner, Brave Ink LLC
Many email marketing tools allow you to pull a contact's name or even company into the subject line of an email, which really grabs their attention. Even better is the ability to include a personalization token in the call to action of an email, because it helps your readers feel as though you are speaking specifically to them. Even if your email tool can't specifically pull in someone's info, using second person language like "you" and "your company" can yield similar (though not as effective) results.
3. Allow your Emails to Interact with the Customers.
Sam Suthar, CMO, Acquire
With respect to marketing, emails have always been a read-only, one-way communication channel among others. today, marketers sell to millennials, who love interactive communication channels as opposed to one-way, monotonous mediums.
The idea of interactive emails has resulted in groundbreaking advantages and are already ruling the domain. For this reason, emails know longer carry text contents, images, and static buttons; they now feature variegated lineaments through which customers can interact.
4. Include a call to action.
Tiffany Barry, Moonlit13 Clothing Co.
Always, always, always include a call to action in your email. It doesn't have to be a button, though that's best, but it should be located above the fold and in multiple places. This means your subscribers should be able to see a call to action without scrolling at all or, at the very least, very much. Seal the deal by using high quality graphics and another call to action toward the end of the email.
People simply won't open emails they don't think holds any value for them. User data from MailChimp shows that segmented campaigns on that platform get 14.64% more opens and 59.99% more clicks than non-segmented campaigns.
6. Get more social.
Joel Razi Lutfiyya, Small Business Growth
Invite subscribers to follow you on social media platforms or join your Facebook group. Adding social media icons linked to your profiles inside an email isn't a direct enough call to action. Be purposeful and ask the email recipient to like, follow or join whatever profiles you frequently update at the end of each email so they receive up to the minute information from you.
If you haven't set up a Facebook page for your business yet, learn how to do so in our guide.
7. Make sure you follow up.
Michael X. Heiligenstein, Fit Small Business
When our team does outreach or promotion, we often get just as many responses from following up as we do from our first round of emails. This is where a CRM can come in handy – we use Insightly to schedule follow-ups and keep leads from falling through the cracks. You can read more about how we use Insightly to manage email here.
8. Make sure your email is mobile-friendly.

9. State your purpose within the first two sentences.
Nicole Stelmar, Digital Marketing Specialist, Inseev Interactive
The email recipient shouldn't have to wait until the second paragraph to know why you're emailing them. Make your purpose clear within the first two sentences. If you start off your email with a bunch of fluff, your reader is more likely to get bored and move on to another email. To make your email more effective, the recipient should know exactly why you're emailing them within the first two sentences. Then, the rest of the email can provide more background and what their next steps should be.
10. Give your subscribers something they can't access through any other platform.
Genni Threet, Small Business Marketing Consultant, Lucky Penny Marketing
Email is the highest converting medium so it's important to retain and grow your subscriber list. An effective way to reward your subscribers and monitor conversions is to offer a discount code through email only. It is important to communicate that the offer is only promoted to e-mail subscribers, not Facebook or Instagram followers, so your audience recognizes the value of not hitting the unsubscribe button. Plus, good friends will spread the news about your e-mail exclusive offers (as long as they're valuable enough) and encourage others to sign up and reap the same rewards.
11. Create a concise, attention-grabbing subject line.
Alli Williams, PR Coordinator, AmplifyRelations.com
My favorite tip when creating an email marketing campaign is to pay close attention to the details, namely the subject line. This is the first thing your client's audience will see when receiving your email, so it's important that it's interesting enough for your target to open the email. I like to create subject lines that grab the reader's attention, for example if your client is hosting a weekend fundraising event your subject line could read any weekend plans?
13. P.S. Don't Forget to Use It
Andrei Petrik, NetHunt CRM
It's the small details that often stand out the most. Be sure to put a Post Scriptum in your emails because no one can resist checking it out. PS invokes curiosity and makes an impact, so don't waste that space. It's your chance to end on a high note!
14. Don't Forget to Add Real Value
Whitney Blankenship, Content Marketing Manager, Omnisend
No matter why you're sending your customers an email, your purpose should be crystal clear: to add real value.
With all the email marketing automation that exists today, it can be easy to get wrapped up in what you can do as opposed to what you should do. The reason you contact your customers doesn't matter, the purpose should always be to improve your customer's life in some way with added value. This might be by reminding a customer of a product they left in their cart, a lead magnet they signed up for, or a warm welcome with instructions on what to do next.
By making sure that your message is always relevant and adds real value to your customer, not only will you enjoy higher open and click-through rates, you'll enjoy a better relationship with your customer. At the end of the day, that's all that really matters.
So before you hit send on that next campaign, ask yourself: "How does this message add value?"
15. Keep it short and sweet.
Beth Bridges, Vice President of Digital Identity, J – I.T. Outsource
Email Marketing: Think about it from *their* perspective. They don't have a lot of time to read, so [use a] short message. Clients also like to know that their perspective and opinions are important, so ask a lot of questions. We'll send email campaigns just to get input or find out what problems they're having.
16. Track your results.
17. Monitor your bounce rate.
Nick Brennan, Founder & CEO, Watch Social Media
The best tip I can provide regarding email campaigns is to closely monitor your bounces, both hard and soft. One of the biggest risks anyone sending mass emails faces is having their ESP (MailChimp, ConstantContact, etc.) shut them down due to a list that is perceived as low quality. Bounce rate, particularly your hard bounce rate, is one of the major factors ESPs use in determining this. Make sure any addresses that hard bounce are scrubbed from your lists between sends and you're well on your way to ensuring a prosperous campaign.
18. Do A/B split testing.
Brianna Bell, SEO Analyst, American West Jewelry/Relios Inc. Carolyn Pollack
My favorite email marketing tip is A/B testing. No matter how many best practices you read, there's no solution better than responding to how your customers respond to you.
The best method I've discovered is to find 3 different subject line types. They can be promotional, intriguing, specific, vague, but it's important that the 3 are different approaches to connecting with customers.
Once you've defined your subject line types, begin to apply the best practices to that email type. Allow enough time to collect your data and analyze the performance. This lets you truly serve the best content to your subscribers rather than guessing if those best practice alone are working for you.
By making it about information, it is then valuable to the patient/customer and thus they value our branding. It is important to develop a brand voice to achieve this. For example, ours is professional, caring. Other businesses might be able to add more whimsy, comedy or irony. It will all depend on the type of customer you want to keep and also attract, as the brand voice should be universal across various media.
20. Lay out your goal for your campaign.
Ricky Garvey, www.RickyGarvey.com
The first thing you must do before initiating any email marketing campaign is to lay out your goal. Are you looking to reconnect with past clients? Turn leads into customers? Provide value to your current customers? Once this is decided, you will need to figure out what metrics will provide you with insight on if your campaign is successful or not. Luckily, most email marketing tools can integrate with your current CRM system, allowing you to not only see basic metrics like CTRs and open rates, but which of these emails led to a metric like monthly revenue – if that's your objective.
21. Send a welcome email.
Carrie McIlveen, U.S. Director of Marketing, Metia
Welcome customers to the program. Use a welcome email series to invite customers into the sales funnel. Demonstrate your brand's excitement to have a new subscriber by offering a discount on a first or next purchase. You can use referral data to tailor the series to the products, services, or topics that enticed the subscriber to sign up in the first place.
22. Nurture your customer relationships.
Jessica Jobes, Founder, OnTheGrid Marketing Agency
Your email newsletter is a good resource for nurturing customer relationships and sending qualified traffic to your website. To unlock this potential, create a regularly scheduled email to keep communication going. Your email newsletter should be uniquely yours and something that doesn't feel like work. Maybe you're great at talking to your smartphone camera – film a 3 minute clip and provide a link to the video with a written summary. Or maybe you prefer writing what's top of mind, do that. If you comb the news for all the latest stories, keep a clipboard with your favorites and send out a list. Figure out a method that works for you and go with it. And whatever you send, make sure it's a repeatable process that you can stick to and you'll build relationships one email at a time.
23. Choose your email address carefully.
Victor Clarke, The Marketing Quarterback, Clarke, Inc.
You should do everything possible to ensure your prospect's experience with your company is a positive one. Do this by making your marketing personal. Personal means that emails come from real people in your company, not just the "info" email address. It can also mean they are connected on social media to people in your company, not just following the company page. Most importantly it means your help-based marketing content really addresses their needs and it's delivered in a timely manner. This shows your business puts the prospect's interests ahead of its own.
Check out our 3 rules to choosing a professional email address on Fit Small Business.
The DON'Ts…
24. Don't make it hard for people to unsubscribe.
Natalie Hornyak, Junior Copywriter, Garfield Group
Keeping your mailing list clean is important for improving data accuracy and deliverability, so while you don't want readers to unsubscribe, you want to make sure that those who do wish to unsubscribe can do so easily. About half of email users will report your email as spam if they can't figure out how to unsubscribe which will further harm your reputation and deliverability. Respect your subscribers and their free will, and if you don't want them to unsubscribe, send them high-value content and solicit their input.
26. Don't send unsolicited emails.
Mark Schmukler, Managing Partner, Sagefrog Marketing Group
Don't send unsolicited emails – you want to be sure that the email recipient has given their permission before you start sending content their way. Monitor feedback loops – make sure that the people who are marking your emails as spam are removed from your list.
Also track recipient action over time- this will allow you to remove inactive subscribers. This doesn't mean delete every email address that does not open/click through, instead track the email over time to see which email accounts are active and which are inactive.
27. Don't forget to test your automation workflows regularly.
James Meincke, Marketing Manager, CloserIQ
In order to test the functionality and effectiveness of automations, you should periodically go through the customer workflow as if you were a first time user. In other words, taste the soup. From the user perspective you'll often realize new insights to improve the workflow.
28. Don't use the word "newsletter" in your subject line.
Joe D'Eramo, Copywriter & Marketing/PR Consultant, HiRoad Communications
My advice to people starting a newsletter is never, never include the word newsletter in your subject line. You might as well ask them to delete the e-mail.
With some exceptions, most people, even valued customers, aren't necessarily looking to read another newsletter. They just want to get through their in-box and move on. Your subject line really must give them a reason to at least view your newsletter in the preview pane. I know this from being a Constant Contact reseller and having written e-newsletters for more than 50 clients over the past 10 years.
29. Don't sell in your email campaign.
Danielle Olesen, Brand Manager, Marketing, StickerYou
Don't use your email campaign to sell- use it to educate. Inboxes are filled with promotions, and people usually tune them out. Instead of pushing products and deals, seek to advise your customer base in areas surrounding your products. Find a common problem or questions among your customers and offer a solution in the form of an article or blog posts, then send that as the email content. Expected results are higher open rates, click-through rates and a much longer tail (people will open or re-open the email long after it's been sent).
30. Don't use the word "I"
31. Don't forget to proofread.
Melissa DeLay, Founder, TruPerception
Check your grammar and spelling. Weed out mistakes in the drafting process. Errors reflect laziness on your part, which shows a lack of respect for the reader.
Bottom Line
Hope you enjoyed reading these email marketing best practices! Check out the email marketing section of our website for even more tips and tricks.

At Footage, our mission is to amplify the voices of youth as means of igniting change within themselves and their communities.
Through the use of local technology and media arts, we support young people so that their experiences are communicated, their voices are amplified, and their solutions are acted upon to inspire sustainable transformation.
We also partner with amazing organizations, helping them harness and capture the stories and experiences of the young people whom with they work.
The fine print: Footage Foundation was founded by PhD colleagues from Cambridge University in 2009 with a burning commitment to educational, cultural, and social initiatives that access youth voices and perspectives as well as inspire young people to be active participants in changing their local and global communities.
Today, we are a thriving 501(c)(3) registered nonprofit organization prioritizing the voices, ideas, and skills of intensely marginalized young people and their communities. Our collective covers most regions of the world.
Current Programs & Methods
Girl-talk-Girl: Mobile Digital Storytelling and Gender- based Violence
Through this project, young women at risk of experiencing gender-based violence (GBV) engage in mVoiceWorks©, then produce and share mobile digital stories based on their lived experiences. Their stories serve as a platform to spark peer-to-peer dialogue internationally, exploring both unique and common experiences with respect to the GBV that is ever-present in the lives of young women.
United States and Russia: From 2014-2016, funded by two awards from the US State Department, Girl-talk-Girl developed and scaled a dynamic collaboration between young women in New York City and St. Petersburg.
Ukraine: In 2017, with funding from the United States Embassy in Ukraine, Footage implemented Girl-talk-Girl with young women internally displaced by armed conflict in eastern Ukraine and Crimea.
Chile: In 2018, with funding from the United States Embassy in Chile, Footage implemented Girl-talk-Girl with first generation women students in the School of Psychology at Pontifica Universidad Católica de Chile.
Her{connect}Her: Narratives and Connection among Young Refugee and Migrant Women
This program engages young refugee and migrant women worldwide in empowering narrative workshops. Through story sharing, Her{connect}Her cultivates participants' innate agency, belonging, and resilience while fostering compassion and empathy among local and global communities. Hope, dignity, and community are significant themes as this project prioritizes young women as experts on their needs and agents of change while offering them an inclusive network. For this work, Footage was granted a Vodafone Americas Foundation Give Away Award. Thus far, Footage has provided Her{connect}her in Sweden, France, Greece, and the UK.
mVoiceWorks© is a unique participatory voice methodology used in our programs that includes workshops, mobile digital storytelling, and (where needed) human-centered design.
Future Programs
Mobile Learning and 4th World Youth
This initiative asks Indigenous and homeless youth in two communities to develop a mobile application to reengage them in education. This project envisions young people as innovators, entrepreneurs, and educators. Contact us if you are interested in investing in this project.
Past Programs
Homeless Youth Voice
This participatory multimedia project accessed the voices, skills, and tenacity of homeless youth in London, Vancouver, and New York City. Through this project, youth were trained as multimedia researchers and digital story-makers, received job references, and earned a stipend as they developed a deeper understanding of their lives and the lives of their peers. In this project, youth were the active change-makers.

This is another novella in the Games series, and the most recently published (come on, Book 6!). It's also part of the Invitation to Eden series, which is written by multiple authors and centers around a private island in the Caribbean with an exotic hotel. It's probably populated by billionaires and sex clubs, I don't know.
The "show" in this story is called Pleasures of Eden, and it's a dating show like The Bachelor. Juno is an artisan glassblower who has a stall at a Renaissance faire. I'm going to stop right here and tell you that Juno's job was my favorite part of this story. I liked to hear her bemoan the costs of silica and metal oxides, explain how she wore pants and no makeup and put her hair up because she was close to a furnace all day, get inspired by the world around her. It's just such a cool-sounding job.
Anyway, Juno needs money because rent is going up. Her friend convinces her to audition for a dating show. Isn't it always the friend's fault? The show has a minimum payout for filming the first episode, so Juno goes along for the money and the vacation.
It turns out that the bachelor is Heathcliff Forester, the billionaire who broke her heart about eight years ago. I'm going to stop again and say that reunited lovers stories are just not my thing. At all. Also, his name is Heathcliff, for real, and he's a brooding bachelor. He does not have a sex dungeon, though. (The hotel has one, but he doesn't use it.)
So, I admit defeat. This is the first Jessica Clare book that I didn't enjoy. It's not her, it's me. (Or it's the Eden premise that she had to write around.) I read this while my kindergartener competed in a chess tournament all day. I wanted the gooey goodness that the other Games books have, but this had to fit in the Eden setting, and Heathcliff was too boring to make me forget that I was hanging out at a chess tournament.
Like all Games books, this was told from only one point of view. We know all about Juno, the introverted artist who chose her career over love. We're told that, back in college, she loved Heathcliff, the outgoing football player. But on the island? He's kind of a boring enigmatic rich guy. I felt like he spoke Billionaire — making pronouncements, expecting people to worship him, acting suavely distant, yet ruthlessly pursuing the woman. I don't read billionaire books (except for Jessica Clare's! I'm so conflicted!) because I feel like that's their schtick and it's not for me.
Some people could totally dig Heathcliff's machinations to get Juno back, though. He set up the whole show for her! He always only ever wanted Juno! It's all a facade! Soylent green is people! Ahem. He wants her, she hates him, but she can't resist a man in a hot tub.
There's some nice descriptions of Juno's outfits, and her friend is really good at braiding hair. I liked that. I wish I had so much hair that it could be braided to look like a conch shell.
