Metatechno Lanka was established in the year 2001, at a time when Sri Lanka was under the influence of a civil war. Our company has played a major role in providing employment opportunities for skillful graduates from universities around the country. Metatechno Lanka has contributed to the development of Sri Lankan IT sector by providing Japanese language and IT education to its employees and through the exchange of the IT talent with Japan.
Nearly 20 years after the establishment, Sri Lanka has achieved remarkable progress in the economic and political sector with the end of the civil war of the country. During this period, Metatechno Lanka has also gone through several transformations. The flow of human resources was directed only from Sri Lanka to Japan at the time of establishment. Gradually there is a trend of undertaking development jobs in Sri Lanka, based on human resources returning to the country and this has established the foundation for presence of Metatechno Lanka.
In recent years, we were able to carry out IT business in Sri Lanka without the support of our parent company, Metatechno Inc. Japan. Some of those achievements in technical domains exceed that of parent company Metatechno. Specifically, it has grown to be one of the major IT solution providers to leading companies and universities in Sri Lanka. Moreover, human resources who are working in Metatechno Lanka and their technical abilities are the foundation that supports our development in the future.
In addition to cooperating in business with parent company Metatechno, Metatechno Lanka is directly involved with the overseas business in other countries including Japan as well as local business, which makes them the three pillars to hold them firm. We appreciate your continued support.
About 20 years after the establishment of the company in 2001, Metatechno Lanka is now on a new stage to make a leap. In addition to offshore development outsourcing from Japan and dispatching Sri Lankan engineers to Japan, which we have been working on as a central business domain, from now on it is necessary to go on a new journey in various fields related to software development and software services and to develop those markets. At that time, we believe that the key factor is "Creating and Providing Customer Value".
Of course, not only engineering but also all the work done by Metatechno Lanka is focused on "Creating and Providing Customer Value". And in order to "Create and Provide Customer Value", we believe that it is important to communicate with each company and every customer.
Based on the established technical backbone we have cultivated so far, we will continue to "Create and Provide Customer Value" to Sri Lankan domestic, to Japan and to the world, so please pay attention for future Metatechno Lanka!
Our company is a Japanese software development company that is head quartered in Kawasaki city of Kanagawa prefecture, which is Japan's leading business city. Since the establishment of the company in 1984, we have expanded the business steadily by making optimal use of printer firmware, image processing and communication processing. Furthermore, prompted by the mission of "counteracting the lack of engineers in Japan by recruiting and educating top Sri Lankan engineers, who can benefit the Japanese Industry while also passing on the technology to Sri Lanka "; Metatechno Lanka was thus established in 2001. Over the past 14 years, 48 well trained engineers have returned to Metatechno Lanka having concluded their hands on training in Japan. An initiative that we are confident will render excellent results in the long run.
Alternatively, it was not an easy task to capitalise on the inherited technology within Sri Lanka, in terms of expanding the Japanese business by further leveraging Metatechno Lanka. To counteract the lack of sense of unity and overcome this situation, Metatechno group has established an overseas business development section within the company that would focus on quality improvements and enhancing the productivity of the entire group. Concurrently with efforts being made to acquire business propositions from Japanese customers, we are also promoting the business within the markets of Sri Lanka and Japan. Going forward, we are now united as a singular group who is committed to make Sri Lanka and Japan the Hub of IT Business within the Asian and World Business Markets. To achieve this vision, we look forward to your kind co-operation.

I'm using GitUgh links here b/c the issue was submitted there. Those not wishing to be surveilled by Microsoft can find the macOS QuickLook plugin project and
{rdatainfo} project in SourceHut and GitLab (
~hrbrmstr and
hrbrmstr accounts respectively).
I hadn't touched
at all since 2016 since it was really just an example proof of concept. Yet the suggestion to have it handle R markdown (
Rmd) files felt useful so I updated
{rdatainfo} to better handle data loading for
rdata, and
rda file extensions and made a small update to the macOS
{QuickLookR} QuickLook extension project to treat
Rmd files as text files which can be previewed then edited with the default Finder extension exitor you've (or your apps) have set for
Rmd files.
{rdatainfo} package is only needed if you need/want R data file preview support (i.e. it's not necessary for R markdown files). Just unzip the plugin release and put it into
~/Library/QuickLook. Here are examples for the four file types (the example code under
saveRDS() and
save() was used to generate those data files and the R markdown file is the default one):
This is my first Xcode app build under macOS 10.14 so definitely file issues if you're having trouble installing or compiling (there are some new shared library "gotchas" that I don't think apply to this Xcode project but may).

Biz 254 has been down for the Entire week. No Website, but more importantly. NO Email.
6 days now This is not Acceptable. I never had an outage like this with Host gator, Godaddy or Name Cheap. Is there a way to get Email Access? We not only have Web Access, but we have NO Email access too. We are Dead!!! Any Workarounds? Anybody have a solution to get email working?
Are InMotion Hosting servers down?
Thank you for your questions regarding server connectivity. It is possible that your account is housed on a server that is currently undergoing unplanned maintainance. I recommend keeping an eye on the following status page for updates:
If you are not on one of the affected servers, I recommend contacting our Technical Support team to troubleshoot your connectivity issue:
Best Regards,
Alyssa K.
I need to know what status is my website in
What's with the constant "Cannot Verify Server Identity" business?
It's popped up 15 times just while typing this.
Inmotion Email Domain
Hello , i would like to ask about if this domain supporting an integration with active directory. to can make the user sign-in with outlook and sync all information. if it is yes , what is the process will be from inmotion hosting site ?. or , what is the guide to do that's. thanks a lot.
Unfortunately, the only way you could do this is by installing necessary applications with Dedicated Hosting as we only use Linux servers. However, we provide no technical support for such configurations.
how can i duplicate my current website on a sub-domain for test/development purposes?
Thanks for the additional information needed to give you better info. All advice you've been given to this point still applies as possibilities. If you'd like to use cPanel File Manager or FTP to achieve this, you can copy a directory to a new location.
If it's WordPress, you'll need to change the URL within the wp-config.php file and database to match that new subdomain URL. If you'd like to request support for this, you should email Web Hosting Hub Live Support with verification.
You can always create manual cPanel backups.
Please note, we're not live support and unable to modify accounts on behalf of Web Hosting Hub.
How can I opt out of backup manager?
I got a notification that I'm in a backup manager free trial, and after that I'll be charged in automatic, but as it is not a service I use I'm not interested in paying the fee.
How can I remove the service from my account?
If you feel that you do not want the added protection the Backup Manager affords you, you can simply cancel the service anytime within the first 90 days of your trial by logging into your Account Management Panel and selecting the My Subscriptions option. It's that easy.
Why is my website so slow to load?
It seems that the website (OurMindsAreAmazing.com) is very slow loading and I'm concerned that I'm losing traffic...and customers!
Can you send along any insight as to why this might be?
Transfer domain FROM inmotion hosting
I want to transfer my domain away from InMotion Hosting to a different hosting service.
I don't see a way to perform this in your AMP info.
So do you do this for me? Or can you send me a link where I can fill this in myself?
I'll be awaiting your reply...

Charlotte Bronte's classic 1847 Gothic novel Jane Eyre has been filmed many times for movies and television over the years, but director Cary Fukunaga has now set the bar so high with his marvelous adaptation, future filmmakers will likely pause before using the source material again because of the excellent achievements of the cast and crew.
The story centers on Jane Elliot (Mia Wasikowska), an unusually strong-willed woman for the times, a trait that will define her. As the film opens, she is 10 years old (played by Amelia Clarkson) and living with her dead uncle's family because her parents have previously died as well. Aunt Sarah (Sally Hawkins) mistreats her and eventually sends her off to a boarding school where they try to beat the defiance out of her. After school, she takes a job from Mrs. Fairfax (Dame Judy Dench) as a governess to young Adele (Romy Settbon Moore) at Thornfield Hall and eventually makes the acquaintance of Edward Fairfax Rochester (Michael Fassbender), the man of the house. Jane intrigues Rochester because she behaves and thinks differently than other women. While a bond forms between them, strange, inexplicable goings-on occur at Thornfield Hall that will have an impact on their relationship.
Cary Fukunaga wisely surrounded himself with talented people and guided them to creating a very memorable film. Moira Buffini's screenplay packs a lot of story into two hours. It is well paced and never feels rushed. Bronte's plot is captivating at every turn, and every character's motivation is believable. It is also refreshing to see such a well-rounded, realistic female character in Jane. The cast delivers great performances bringing these characters to life. Wasikowska is brilliant, reserved when need be but frequently stands up for herself in a world that wasn't used to, and was barely ready for, that behavior. Fassbender effortlessly exudes Rochester's full range emotions as he buries himself in the character. Dench adds an authenticity to the setting just by her presence and the dialogue flows naturally from her. The production design team earns high marks for the great job they have done in creating this period. Dario Marianelli's score also deserves mention as the exquisite melodies, led by violin, made me want to revisit them.
The most impressive work is Adriano Goldman's cinematography, which is magnificent to behold and comes across purposeful. Appearing to be lit solely with natural light, reminiscent of Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon, Goldman embraces the darkness like few directors of photography since the glory days of film noir, adding tension to the scenes in Thornfield Hall. The boarding school color scheme is a dismal gray with the color drained out, a visual metaphor for what they are attempting to do to the children's vitality. Yet, when things are at their happiest for Jane, bright sunlight and hues augment the warmth felt within her.
Rare is the film that excels in so many facets, so I am compelled to enthusiastically recommend Jane Eyre. If it doesn't make year-end lists, someone hasn't been paying attention.

Serving in AmeriCorps has positive effects on participants' level of activity and engagement in their communities, a new study says.
"Serving Country and Community: A Longitudinal Study of Service in AmeriCorps," is a five-year study of program participants released by the Corporation for National and Community Service, which runs AmeriCorps.
The study, the first in a long-term look at the impact of the program, says participation has a positive impact on attitudes and behaviors around civic engagement, education, employment and life skills.
Participation led to a statistically significant increase in awareness of local problems and issues, and greater involvement in community-based activities like attending public meetings, the report says.
Involvement had a significant impact on participants who did not volunteer prior to service in the program, showing that AmeriCorps can enhance civic attitudes and actions, the report says.
It also says former participants were more likely than the comparison group to be employed in public service jobs such as teaching, public safety or full-time military service.
More than 380,000 people have serviced in the program over its 10-year lifetime, the study says.

Big Chris is a fat British mechanic who eats too many donuts. He works at a corrupt F1 track called Silver Hatch where he is bossed by another fat rude, itallian conman of a carburettor. He has to fix freaky talking racing cars that tell him to go on a diet. The Heavy Weapons Guy tells him to eat more sandwiches since Big Chris wants to put sandwiches and donuts in the same lunchbox but had no space and put donuts in there instead. People rumor that he is a clone of Bob the Builder due to the similarity of the clay model and him fixing things, but Bob keeps to a healthy diet while his wife owns a burger chain. Once, Big Chris ate a salad after running after Thumper on a skateboard who has stolen his donut but an idiot tripped Thumper over causing him to drop the donut. A woman called Marsha put a bowl of salad at the finish line and forced him to eat it. He liked it but suddenly he started eating donuts again.
He was later killed by Homer Simpson for eating all of his donuts.

Prince Lionheart Wheely Bug
This is a very durable ride-on toy and the wheels allow the child to move easily in all directions. Younger toddlers also enjoy pushing the wheely bug while walking.
Gymnic Rody Horse
Gertie Ball
Balls are great for working on the eye-hand coordination and eye-foot coordination required to learn to kick, throw and catch. I personally like the Gertie Ball because it is easy to catch and it is soft, so missed catches don't result in tears. The bumpy texture is also fun for kids of all ages.
Handle Car
This car is good for young toddlers, although I've seen older toddlers/preschoolers who enjoy this car as well! I love that this car is plain and simple, which promotes imaginative play. This car is so easy to grasp that I also recommend it for children with motor impairments that make it difficult for them to grasp small items.
Tiny Love Musical Stack and Ball Game
This is a good toy for babies/young toddlers that will continue to entertain as they get older. Babies often like the music and the balls that rattle when they shake them. As they get older, they learn how to put the balls inside to activate the music. Finally, it is a ring stacker as well!
I hope you find this list helpful! Please check back tomorrow for a gift guide for preschoolers!
What are your favorite toys for toddlers?

Your safety starts at home, with you. It's up to you to choose to become aware of your surroundings and environment.
The following principles are the fundamentals for addressing and resolving exposure to risks. It's important to consider expert assistance when developing effective plans and new strategies. By empowering yourself with the knowledge and know-how to improve your safety you become aware to otherwise unnoticed risks and can work to develop a proactive, not reactive attitude.
Here are three simple hints to be safer at home:
Identify Hazards. This assessment is your honest ability to rate and establish your baseline. Primary matters to consider are your location, access to emergency and police services, utilities, crime trends and street access. Secondary matters include landscaping, lighting, parking and physical barriers. Lastly, you should consider monitoring capabilities and detection devices such as video surveillance, alarm monitoring, automation, electronic access control, perimeter monitoring, and lighting.
Analyze Risks. Based on your observations, or those from a qualified expert, a master plan with an analysis of each risk should be drafted and contain measures to mitigate and resolve your exposure. By associating risk with resolution, you develop plans with recommendations to upgrade your existing situation. Developing three upgrades per issue can help guarantee you follow through to completion. Having options is a good idea when determining what best suits your needs and is most realistic for your situation and budget.
Mitigate Hazards. To ensure best results, after your assessment and receiving your master plans, you must implement and enforce your new plan. Depending on the type of upgrade, this may include new security systems, monitoring services, surveillance systems, storage devices, electronic access controls, perimeter monitoring, barrier devices, signage, lighting, audible and visual signals, traffic control devices, and the hardening of physical security such as doors, windows, locks and walls. These changes may include utilizing ballistic material, biometric and radio frequency identification devices. Some basic upgrades may include the addition of first aid kits, electrical outlet covers, slip-and -fall devices, fire extinguishers, weapon and money safes, flashlights and ensuring adequate water and food supplies. Once changes are made, we recommend regular inspections and maintenance from qualified system inspectors or engineer.
Taking small steps leads to enhance your safety begins with basic changes to daily routine and habits. Make it a point to begin with the simple things such as always locking your doors, your car, arming your alarms, and avoid posts to social media regarding travel. These simple yet important steps will eventually lead to safer habits.

Corrie's Aidan Connor is about to get his comeuppance for trying to have his cake and eat it. Actor Shayne Ward explains how...
Corrie's Aidan Connor is forced into a corner this week when, just as he's about to dump Eva for secret lover Maria, his fiancee secretly finds out about his affair, and then announces she's pregnant.
Actor Shayne Ward talks us through his character's love crisis, and reveals why he thinks Aidan is destined to be lonely…
Is Aidan ready to dump Eva when she tells him she's pregnant?
"Yes. It's terrifying for him, because he's been telling Maria that he's definitely going to end things with Eva – and it was genuine, too; it wasn't just about giving himself some time to keep her onside. But Eva finds out about their affair and then finds out she's pregnant. It's a massive spanner in the works for Aidan, and he doesn't know what to do."
Does Eva seem excited when she tells him her pregnancy news?
"Excited and also scared, because she knows about Aidan and Maria. Eva has a very good poker face – it's actually quite terrifying! Aidan is completely torn now that there's a baby involved. It's a completely different ball game."
Is he horrified or secretly delighted at the prospect of becoming a dad?
"Becoming a dad has never crossed his mind before. For Aidan, it's always been about impressing his own dad – that's what he's driven by. His dad has put him down time after time, but in the kind of way that makes him stronger. He's never had time to think about being a dad, so when it happens, he's like 'Oh my God – really?'"
Could he not consider finishing with Eva, but still being there for the baby?
"He could, but come on, this is soap! We don't want that! Seriously, he could do that, but the truth is he's never been in this position before, and hasn't a bloody clue how to handle it! He's scared, and obviously when Maria finds out that Eva is pregnant, all hell's going to break loose."
Eva is obsessed with getting married – is this one of the reasons Aidan is attracted to Maria?
"Eva is very materialistic. She wants the wedding, the nice house, the perfect family. She wants this happy ever after, and Aidan finds this quite overpowering. He's like: 'Bloody hell, girl. Slow down!' Maria has her child and she has a job she enjoys – she's quite chilled. There is quite a difference between the women, and that's why Aidan seems to enjoy being with Maria more. With Maria, it's chilled and relaxing. With Eva, it's so full on."
What kind of reaction have you had in the street about this storyline?
"Oh, it's all heckles! At least it is from afar. When people come up to me, they're always polite and ask for an autograph. It's great that the viewers get so involved over who they think Aidan should be with. They stay stuff like 'How could you? You shouldn't be with Eva. You should be with the other one' – or vice versa. It's nice that people have invested so much, and it's really going to kick off now and get much deeper."
Who do most people want Aidan to be with?
"I think because he started off with Eva, it's probably her. But people will start to see that he does have genuine feelings for Maria – he's fallen in love with her. So you'll see a complete change in the way he is around her to the way he is with Eva. He acts differently with each of them. He's on more of a sharp fuse with Eva, because he feels he can't really engage in a proper conversation with her. It's all 'You all right, babe?' and her fussing over that bloody cat she's got! With Maria, it's a bit more adult."
Do you, as Shayne, feel sorry for Eva and Maria?
"Oh God, yeah! Maria's not entirely innocent as she instigated the affair second time around, but no one deserves to be treated like that. I feel a tiny amount of sympathy for Aidan, but not much because he's having his cake and eating it."
Have you enjoyed playing the bad boy and having two women fight over you?
"I can't complain! It's great. I've known Cath (Tyldelsey, who plays Eva) and Samia (Longchambon, who plays Maria) for years, and so everything is easy in terms of working together. We make it as fun as possible, and when we do a horrible scene and are shouting at each other, afterwards we're like, 'I'm sorry – I didn't mean it!'
We know Eva is going to have a plan to get revenge on Aidan. What would hurt him the most?
"If she did something to the business. He wants to build this enterprise. He's always wanted his dad to see him as the successor of Underworld and to impress Johnny, so, yeah, it would have something to do with the business."
How long is this storyline going to run for? Will it continue through the summer?
"Yes. Aidan finds himself in a place where he has messed Maria around so much. There was the affair first time round when he said he wanted to be with her, but he went back to Eva. Then she started the affair again and he decided to be with her, but Eva tells him she's pregnant and so he feels he has to stay with her. That kind of shuts the door on him and Maria…or does it? He's messed both women about, and ultimately he'll be quite a lonely person."
Has this opened your eyes to how far a woman scorned could go? And if so, has it scared you?
"Oh, I know a lot of women who've been scorned – not from myself, may I say! I know how lethal they can be. I mean, my mum watches the ITV show, Killer Women. So it's been fun doing this, but God help Aidan going forward!"

On Monday, March 16, I got the chance to attend the first day of CeBIT 2015 in Hannover, Germany, the biggest Computer science related fair of the world and more specifically the Code_n building which theme was "Into the internet of Things".
Code_n is defined as an "initiative [that] offers an ecosystem designed to network digital pioneers and support the development of new, digital business models." according to its website.
In other words, it is one of the many helpers for startups to grow, get known and get to know other actors in their space or related spaces. In this objective, it comes every year at CeBIT and offers a space for startups to present their work and network.
It is actually hard to say "I attended CeBIT" because you can't humanly attend each and everything at CeBIT, which happens over an area of 450 000 square meters and over 20 buildings. From Enterprise level IT groups to Chinese smartphone waterproof accessories manufacturers, smart dartboards startups and drones companies, you can see anything at CeBIT.
This article is, therefore, an extract of what I saw in the Code_n building and its core theme that make a lot of people right on the internet today: The Internet Of Things.
When entering the Code_n building, the first (and almost only) thing you could see was Robochop. Installation of 3 industrial robots cutting polystyrene cubes automatically.
The particularity of these cuts is that the designs of all of them have been created by people around the world in a web interface, and will be sent to their creators just after CeBIT.
See website: http://www.robochop.com/
Clemens Weisshaar is a designer trying to make the line between digital and physical world vanish.
He already had some projects in his past relating to this theme:
* A "Magic mirror" for retail (in the PRADA Epicenter in Beverly hills) : A camera films you and when you turn, it slows down the time so that you can see your back and how the clothes fit you.
* Breeding tables - centre Pompidou: A concept of tables, each unique because randomly generated but mechanically strong enough for being a table and manufactured only by cutting and bending steel.
* OutRace : A robotic installation doing light painting of tweets sent by people on Trafalgar square in London.
* RT18 chair prototype : The designer (with the help of Reed Kram as well) created a chair full of sensors to see constraints, visualizable in real-time on a screen facing the chair and allowed people to sit and play with it. With the data they retrieved during this experiment, they were then able to create the lightest chair ever (2.2kg).
With his latest projects, Clemens Weisshaar wanted to assemble Design, Engineering, Giving code to the machine and Shipping all in one application, as in a production line. And when possible give the power to users in the process.
Clemens Weisshaar and Reed Kram connect people to heavy machinery and Robochop is their latest piece of Art and Technology.
"One platform to rule them all, One platform to find them,
One platform to bring them all and in the darkness bind them"
A lot of startups out there are interested in binding all your smart objects together for different purposes:
We knew it already with the success of MyFox at CES, but security is a big concern for customers, and many entrepreneurs see in this area a big opportunity.
I would never have thought that, as a not-so-much car driver, but Parking seems to really be a big problem in our everyday lives.
Proof ?
At least 3 startups of the 50 finalists chosen by Code_n try to tackle this problem
ReelyActive is a Montreal company founded in 2012. After getting some interest by participating to the Founder Fuel Fall 2012 session, ReelyActive published three scientific papers to support the science behind their vision and their product and has been title "World's best startup" in November 2013.
Their main hardware product is a set of sensors called "reelceivers" available for Bluetooth or RFID detection that connect to the network through RJ45 ports and enter in communication with a hub that needs to be on the network.
The idea is then to bridge your physical world to the virtual world and the potential of this technology is awesome. From the smart home to the smart museum, the smart office or the smart parking, ReelyActive is just making it able to turn any space in a smart space.
The whole software side is then open-source and based on NodeJS technology. Documentation and tutorials are available on github, along with all the code allowing you to super easily plug your sensor and start decoding bluetooth communication and even visualising them easily in a smartspace !
With just one day to attend, I didn't see a lot of conferences but I still manage to see two of them (without considering a Pitch & Question session), that I will summarize in bullet points hereafter - to be honest because it was a bit disappointing.
In conclusion, this day has been a really busy day at CeBIT and the Internet of Things seems to have always more new actors and for me, the small startups are definitely eating more and more of the pie of innovation and new markets compared to the giants (Google's booth and conference were really disappointing).

Add to wishlist DetailsExisting reviews La protagonista es una «heroína cotidiana» a través de la cual Almodóvar realiza «un retrato de la feminidad de extrarradio» con un ama de casa que quiere estructurar su familia. Carmen Maura encarna a una sufrida ama de casa que debe convivir, en un barrio de los suburbios de Madrid, con un marido machista, un hijo chapero, otro hijo traficante de drogas y una suegra neurótica. Es adicta a los medicamentos estimulantes y su única amiga es una vecina prostituta. Housewife Gloria lives with her husband Antonio (a taxi driver and forger) in a tiny apartment in Madrid. Also living in the apartment is her lunatic mother-in-law, who's addicted to bottled water and cupcakes; and her two sons, one of them a drug dealer, the other gay. Gloria works as a cleaning lady to supplement the household income and has a pill addiction. Her best friend and next door neighbor is Cristal, a prostitute, who seems to be the most normal of all of them. Antonio has a secret lust for a decadent German singer he used to work for in Germany as a chauffeur. A writer tries to convince Antonio to forge letters from the Fuehrer and travels to Germany to meet the singer and invite her to participate in the fraud. Meanwhile, Gloria turns her gay son over to her dentist, who, of course, is a pervert. Her mother-in-law finds a lizard while walking with her grandson on the street one day and names it "Dinero" (Money) and brings it home, because that's the only "dinero" they'll ever have in the apartment. To put the frosting on the story of this quirky little family, Gloria gets into an argument with Antonio and hits him on the head with a piece of wood, thus bringing the police into the middle of this domestic zoo.

Transformation of Space in the Adaptation of La straniera
The article aims to examine the transformations of space in the adaptation of La straniera, the novel of the Iraqi writer Younis Tawfik, made by the Italian director Marco Turco. The importance of these two works, which have recently won the Med Agora Award, sponsored by the Mediterranean Observatory and Suq Festival, comes from an historical value, since the film La straniera is one of the first film adaptations of Italian Narrative of Migration. From a textual analysis that highlights the differences between the themes in the novel and the screenplay, the article passes to the transformations of space, with the purpose of illustrating a series of reports linking the spatial coordinates with their geo-cultural values. The textual analysis leads also to consider the gap between the intercultural project of Tawfik and multicultural one of Turco. In conclusion, the article demonstrates, through an "the image of Italy" provided by the Iraqi author and the Italian director, how the spatial transformation may give rise to new interpretations of space, impacting on the original message of the literary text.

|I love this...self growth and expansion is usually uncomfortable and many give up before realizing the benefits and getting that prize at the end of struggle....
Expanding Your Comfort Zone
Your current comfort zone has served you, but it represents your behaviors and patterns from your past.
Your current comfort zone did, at one time, serve a purpose in your life. But it is representative of behaviors and patterns of thought that empowered you to cope with challenges of days past. Now, this comfort zone does little to facilitate the growth you wish to achieve in the present. Leaving your comfort zone behind through personal expansion of any kind can prepare you to take the larger leaps of faith that will, in time, help you refine your purpose. Work your way outward at your own pace, and try not to let your discomfort interfere with your resolve. With the passage of each well-earned triumph, you will have grown and your comfort zone will have expanded to accommodate this evolution.
Whether your comfort zone is living with your parents, or perhaps being too shy to socialize, or maybe it's not realizing your spirit self--whatever it is, start small, and you will discover that venturing beyond the limited comfort zone you now cling to is not as stressful an experience as you imagined it might be. And the joy you feel upon challenging yourself in this way will nearly always outweigh your discomfort. As you continue to expand your comfort zone to include new ideas, activities, goals, and experiences, you will see that you are capable of stimulating change and coping with the fresh challenges that accompany it.

Growth and expansion of self is rarely comfortable...

Other Details
Product Description
Truth is often stranger than fiction. In 1998, Desco Records—a precursor to Daptone and Soul Fire Records—released The Daktaris' Soul Explosion, ostensibly as a reissue of an unearthed Nigerian LP from the seventies. Though it's now common knowledge that the story was a bit of a hoax, the record's significance as a seminal part of the Afrobeat and afro-funk renaissance of the last two decades cannot be denied. The roots of the Budos Band, Antibalas, and uncountable others can be traced back to this enigmatic afro-funk release.
Now, two decades later, Daptone has remastered the album from the original tapes, including a bonus track that had previously only been available on a 45, and featuring extensive all new liner notes by Bosco Mann telling the bizarre true story behind the Daktaris sessions.

The Majestic Table Mountain stands proud, overlooking the city of Cape Town, in South Africa and is also featured in the official flag as well as other local insignia. The mountain forms a part of the Table Mountain National Park which makes it a major tourist attraction.
The flat top of the mountain was the reason behind its name. The view from the top of Table Mountain has been described as one of the most epic views in Africa and so it forms a prominent landmark overlooking the city.
The most spectacular feature of the Table Mountain, is its level plataeu measuring approximately 3 km from side to side and is surrounded by impressive cliffs. This picturesque mountain accompanied with Devil's Peak and Lion's Head, on either sides, forms a dramatic backdrop to the city of Cape Town.
The Higest point on the Table Mountain is the eastern end of the plateau which is marked by Maclear's Beacon, a stone cairn (a heap of stones) built for trigonometrical survey. This point is 3,563 ft. above the sea level.
Local legend attributes the phemenon of the formation of the Orrographic clouds, on the flat top of the mountain called 'Table Cloth', as a smoking competetion between the Devil and a local pirate called Van Hunks. As soon as the table cloth comes into view, it symbolises the contest. The Table Mountain is at the northern end of a sandstone mountain range that forms the back bone of the Cape Peninsula.
Table Mountain Sandstone is found in abundance on the upper part of the mountain Mesa (an American English term for 'table land' and a Spanish & Portuguese word for 'table', is an elevated area of land with a flat top and sides that are usually cliffs). The Table Mountain Sandstone is highly resistent to errosion and forms characteristic steep ridges.
The mountain is very rich and diverse as far as the biodiversity is concerened. But the vegetation is dominated by several endangered types of unique and rich Cape Shruberies and so the mountains' vegetation type forms a part of the Cape Floral Region protected areas. These areas consist of about 2,200 species of plants and have been given the status of World Heritage Sites. The Table Mountain Range has the higest concentration of threatened species of any continental area of the same size as it in the world. Much of the indegenious forests have been felled and replaced with commercial plantations. The exposed slopes get rejuvenated due to the mountains' seasonal natural wildfire cycles.
The mountain is inhabitted commonly by the Dassie, a small thickset herbivorous mammal, measuring between 30cm to 70cm, with a short tail. They are actually related to Elephants rather than rodents and are also called Rock Hyrax. Apart from Hyraxes, there are Porcupines, Mongooses, Snakes and Tortoises, that find a home on the Table Mountain.
Cableway- the Table Mountain cable is situated on the top of the mountain and is one of the most popular tourist attractions, attracting around 800,000 people using the cableway. The cable is used to take the tourists from lower cable station on Tafellberg road, which is about 302 m above the sea level to the plateau top of the mountain. The station located on top of the mountain offers a splendid view of the city of Cape Town, the Table Bay ( a bay on the Atlantic ocean, got its name because it is dominated by the flat topped Table Mountain) & Robben Islands (an oval shaped island on the Table Bay) and the Atlantic Seaboard.
The Adventures to indulge in..
Hiking tales of the Table Mountain- the Table Mountain offers various hiking trails of varying difficulty , which are enjoyed mostly by the locals and the tourists of course. Since the peak is surrounded by steep cliffs, direct assents from the city side are limited. Although Platteklip Gorge, a prominent gorge up the center of the main table, is a popular and straightforward direct ascent to the peak. The course takes between 1-3 hours to complete depending upon one's fitness level. There are various other tracks and courses to reach the peak, which include the routes going via the Black Table ( a lower area of the Table Mountain), Skeleton Gorge, Bridle Path also called the Jeep Track, the Nursery Revine etc. The most popular ascent, is Kasteelsport which is situated on the Atlantic side, is a gorge overlooking the Camps Bay (a prosperous suburb of Cape Town), but the track most preferred by the walkers is the Pipe Track.
The four Table Mountain hiking trails by the names, People's Trail, Table Mountain Trail, Orangekloof Hiking Trail and Top To Tip Trail, form the Hoerikwaggo trails. These trails range from two to six days and are successfully operated by South African National Parks.
Climbing rocks up the Mountain- rock climbing on the Table Mountain serves as a very popular pass time. One finds numerous well documented climbing routes that vary in the level of difficulty, up the many faces of the mountain. The main climbs are located on the cliffs below the cable station. Since no Bolting is allowed, one has to resort to traditional climbing only.
In the Caves- Table Mountain is an exception since it has several large cave systems that have developed in Sandstone, while most of the world's important caves occure in Limestone. Among all the cave systems the Wynberg Caves are the biggest. These caves are loacted on the Black Table, near the Jeep Track, over looking the Orangekloof ( an area of the Table Mountain National Park, it is a conservation area which is highly restricted) and Hout Bay (a town situated near Cape Town).
Mountain Biking- the slopes of the Table Mountain offer a number of jeep tracks which are utilised for mountain biking. the route to the Block House is a popularly used biking track. The mountain has a very steep jeep track by the name of Plum Pudding. To be on the right track and safe, bike riders should follow the directional signs on display for mountain bike riders.
The Mensa Constellation
Table Mountain is the only earthly feature to give its name to a constellation. Mensa (meaning table) constellation is seen below the Orion, around mid night in mid July. It was christened thus by a French astronomer during his stay at the Cape, in the mid 18th century.
If you are an adventure lover and are in search of thrill to quench your thirst for adventure, then the Table Mountain, South Africa, is where your search shall find its destination. Do visit.

Disturbing Comics: Dolores
Georges Leterrier is a man who obsessess with making his model crafts be scale models of the original with exacting detail. In fact, he's so much of a perfectionist that by the time he's finally finished designing and compiling a top-secret military plane, the manufacturers have gone under new management multiple times, and they have to refuse taking the model off Georges hands, since his design is now obsolete. While carrying the rather bulky miniature plane via public transportation (bumping into irate passengers), a boy expresses interest in his design, which was created with materials identical to the original. George goes into detail, saying that getting parts for the engine was the hard part. Having no further use for the fancy paperweight, he freely offers his extra-large toy to the boy free of charge.
On the way home, he's surprised to see a chauffeured limo there to pick him up. Earlier, he saved an actress caught in a downpour with a broken car, who was shown to his model specs by his invalid live-in brother. On the trip there, Georges admits to being farily ignorant about the movie business, since it's been years he last saw a movie, and is completely unaware of just how much of a household name Dolores Moore is.
When he finally arrives at the villa, Dolores has an unusual request. She was rather impressed with his attention to detail for the model plane, and would like to have something similar for the house she's living in.
Georges is apprehensive and stunned, saying that a project of such an undertaking would take years to complete. Dolores reasurres him that time and money is not a factor, since she'll be leaving for months, being involved in filmmaking in America. As for living, he'll have permission to stay as long as is needed in order to complete the project. Just go over the details with the staff, and there'll be plenty of room anyways.
Upon leaving, he chances upon a movie theater, and decides to indulge himself a little to familiarize himself with who he's going to be working for now.
When Georges comes home, he gently tells his brother about his new job, who doesn't take the news very well. For the record, this occurs on September 28th, 1957. There's nothing terribly significant about that date, but it should give some idea of the time period this story takes place.
After getting a room accommodated for him, Georges gets started by taking measurements of everything in the house, from the dimensions of the floors and walls to the furniture, including the staff itself. A lovely assistant, Simone, is somewhat taken with his obsession, and is dismayed when her affections aren't reciprocated, since Georges is so infatuated with Dolores. Georges is grudgingly chauferred around to his old haunts where he can order the necessary crafting material he'll need to get parts small and sturdy enough to accomplish the job.
The staff don't take too kindly to the old man's intrusion of materials spread around, but since their master's not around to hear their complaints, there's nothing they can do.
After a long stretch of absence, Dolores finally comes back to Paris with a Papparazi entourage, and declares that she's relieved to be home again, and is tired of travelling. She wants to live a less hectic life instead of running around all the time, and doesn't want to leave ever again. When she runs into Georges, she briefly introduces him to her male co-star and then continues on with her grandstanding.
Georges is despondant at being so casually brushed off, but vows to continue working on the project, forsaking all else. He barely responds to news of his brother's living conditions, and only pays a cursory visit to the hospital after his suicide attempt. The house is all he has to live for now. While being unexpectedly interrupted, Georges drops his exacto knife on the model, causing small but insignificant damage.
Somewhat relieved at her movie becoming a bomb, Georges illogically reasons that this means that Dolores might come back. Later that night, while getting some more supplies for the model house, Georges almost trips and stumbles on a loose piece of concrete.
Georges curiously notices that there's a similar crack on the stairs. Not just any particular step, but the exact same spot where his exacto knife fell.
While Georges was labouring over his new model, his brother wound up having a hard time living by himself, and died soon after. While attending his brother's funeral, dodging accusations that his brother died from lack of loving care, Georges runs into the same boy he gave his model plane to. He's surprised to hear that the boy was able to make his plane fly just by adding gas to the tank. Especially since it wasn't meant to be a working model.
Back at the villa, Georges attempts to repair the broken step in the model, but winds up creating an accident involving glue getting over the walls. Having already had a bad day, Georges doesn't bother to clean up the mess, and goes to bed. The next day, Georges summons the staff to point out an elaborate prank involving a blotch appearing on the walls that's somehow exactly reminiscent of his little accident. The staff grudgingly oblige, saying that the composition of the stain is quite sticky and hard to remove, but are satisfied once it's finally gone. Of course, Georges is no dummy, and is no stranger to cause and effect, and wants to be absolutely certain.
These hands! Capable of such magnificent feats! So what does he do once he discovers this newfound use of his talent?
Why, indulge on petty revenge on the staff who'd been increasingly frustrated with his demands. The chauffeur is plagued with a blueish tint on his face that won't go away.
And that's just for starters. Georges goes to the trouble of getting rid of a lovely assistant Simone who was dismayed at rejected her advances in favor of the unobtainable ideal of a film star.
Georges goes so far as to create a doll of Dolores who he pays lavish attention to. He strips the doll naked and puts it in the miniature bathtub with water and scented oils, and mere minutes later, Dolores shows up in a bathrobe. She still rejects Georges advances, but the fact she showed up like that at all doesn't bode very well for controlling her own actions.
Georges has now taken power of attorney and the part of Dolores' manager and refuses any calls aimed towards her, saying she wishes to be left alone, and wants nothing to do with movies anymore. Especially since she feels personally threatened by a rising talent named Marilyn Monroe. Georges reasurres her, saying that she'll always be beautiful in his eyes, but it hardly sounds reassuring to her, coming from him.
Georges is confronted by a policeman who'd heard strange testimony from a hysterical witness, and decided to do some following up, even though the chances of finding a lead is rather unlikely. If there is a glaring weakness to George's powers, it's that he can't directly influence events that are outside of the house's dimensions.
Of course, if outside elements happen to be within the confines of the house, then he stands more of a chance.
Presumably, he cleaned up the bloodstains in the model later, otherwise they would be impossible to remove entirely. Inspection of the glue stain on the wall showed that it took some time for any changes in the house itself to become reality, so chances are he could afford to take his time.
Unknowing about this recent descent into murder, Dolores is so upset with her new life that she doesn't even notice the spot of upturned earth on her front lawn. When she comes in, she sees Georges dancing with the doll version of herself.
Delores is dismayed at all the changes that's taken place. She's willingly followed Georges demands in order to accommodate his needs for completing the model house, which she sorely regrets now. The last straw is all these movie posters with his face transplanted in place of the male leads. Dolores isn't terribly amused by all this, and goes about tearing the posters apart with a pair of scissors. Georges tells her it's useless, and sure enough, the posters are back to normal, much to her amazement.
Dolores finds it increasingly difficult to think clearly, especially since Georges has gone to the trouble of modifying her past so that he's more of a presence than the other actors she's been with.
Shortly after helping put the final piece together, Dolores notices that there's something strange about the outside now. There's no clear vanishing point of the horizon.
A closer inspection soon reveals the awful truth:
Georges just calmly walks up to Dolores, singing the theme song from one of her movies and helps carry her back to the house where the two of them will live from now on.
To recap: after systematically removing her closest servants and friends, including indulging in casual murder
as well as denying her right to pursue her career, Georges is now in a position where he has full power over her every action, and can control her waking thoughts. If that isn't truly frightening, then I don't know what is. It's like the bad ending to Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House. It's also a chilling take on the old adage that if you work long and hard enough on your dream, you'll be rewarded for your efforts. The skeevy cover doesn't help matters much either.

Wow, that is indeed creepy!ReplyDelete
I think the scary moment started when the main character realised he has powers, because anything involving the ability to affect the fate of others using miniature versions of themselves is really scary. Combining that with the main character's desire in the titular character, and you have a disturbing combo.
The most scary part has to be the fate of the characters in the end where they seems to be teleported to the middle-of-nowhere, as if they are shut off from the world and nobody can help them. I imagine they might be in the sky somewhere, but it didn't seem to be the case based on what's shown.
I wonder what happened to the other staff and Simone. The samples you show only has that man with the blue tint on his face, but I am most curious about Simone's fate since she is one of the few people to be interested in Georges.
Thanks for reading.

I just realised that this comics has got a film in 2016. Talk about a surprise when I found out! I wonder if this story is popular since it's managed to get a film adaptation. It's labelled under Psychological Thriller.ReplyDelete

Sweet Instruction
Edible Stamens for Chocolate Blooms
|Posted by mari senaga on May 29, 2013 at 3:05 AM
For my very first tutorial, I wanted to cover something I get asked about a lot,
When making modeling chocolate flowers, and accents, I like to make sure everything I use to make the flowers is edible, and safe to eat. So I wanted to show a number of ways I make edible stamens.
Pressed bunch Stamens:
Garlic press, extruder with hair or fur die, or a small strainer
Favorite medium (modeling chocolate, fondant, gumpaste)
The first type I will cover is simply made from modeling chocolate, fondant, or gumpaste
Make a small ball of paste, approximately the size of your center (drop the ball in the center to see that it fits in to the space availible, without to much extra room),Then press it out of a garlic press, extruder, or even a small strainer.
This will create a small clump of stamens that you can remove with a small pallet knife, pinch the base, and let dry.
After it has dried, I will brush the tips with some gum glue, or corn syrup, and dip them in color, or edible pollen (see how to make edible pollen, below).Then secure into the center of your flowers.
This picture shows the difference between garlic press and the strainer.
Rice Sticks
Many of the remaining type of stamens I will be showing use Rice Stick noodles that you can find in your Asian Markets. You will find them in a large bag, this is one type I have used (this bag of noodles has lasted for 2 years, kept in zip lock bags of various sizes).
I use these for a multitude of reasons in cake decorating, including stamens, small curls (usually made with wire), Spanish moss, and bird nests.
For stamens, you will want to cut the Rice Sticks in to 2 inch length
I cut up hundreds of these, don't worry if they are not straight, this adds to the look of your stamens. I keep these in sandwich or snack sized zip lock bags.
Dipped Stamens:
Royal icing (10 count flood consistency). In color of choice
2" Rice Sticks
Styrofoam (I suggest Oasis, the one used for silk or fresh flowers, as it is softer than others)
Take a rice stick and dip the tip in to the flood consistency icing. Then poke the end into a piece of styrofoam, to dry.
Chocolate Dipped:
2- 3 ounces melted chocolate in color of choice
2" Rice sticks
Piece of Oasis foam (cover with plastic wrap)
Dip the rice stick in to the melted chocolate, insert in to the Oasis foam until set.
Edible Pollen or sugar dipped:
2" Rice Sticks
Corn Syrup and a brush to apply
Edible Pollen (see below for my edible pollen recipe), or granulated colored sugar
Wax paper
Brush the tip of a rice stick with corn syrup. Dip in to edible pollen, or granulated sugar. Lay on to wax paper to dry.
Edible Pollen:
½ package of granulated gelatin (1 Tbsps.)
1 tsp. color of your choice (you may need more or less depending on intensity of color)
Container with lid for mixing
Put the granulated gelatin and the color in to the container, shake to mix.
I like this recipe for edible pollen, as it has a small grain to it, and works well for even the smallest flower.
This recipe was introduced to me by Kate Fielder, and continues to be the one I use for all my sugar flowers.
Large headed stamens:
2" Rice sticks
Your favorite rolled medium (modeling chocolate, fondant, or gumpaste)
Small pallet knife or spatula
Corn syrup
Edible pollen
For this type of stamen you will start by making a thin sausage of your favorite medium, (I have found that a quick easy way to get an even smooth sausage is to roll it between my silicone mat and a fondant smoother, till it is the thinness I desire).
Then cut the sausage in to small parts, the size of the stamen head (think grain of rice, or baby pea for a size guide).
Roll each piece into a ball, thin out each end to a rounded point. Using the small pallet knife score a line length of the stamen head.
Dip the end of the rice stick into the corn syrup, and insert into the base of the stamen head. Let set, or dry.
Brush some corn syrup across the top of the stamen head. Dip into the edible pollen.
I hope these edible stamens give you some ideas to help create all edible flowers for your future cakes.
There are many other ways to make edible stamens; these are just a few I use on a regular basis.
Please check in on a monthly basis, for more tutorials.
Thank you so much!

So glad I found your website! I'm a relative newcomer to cake decorating. I like to make as much as possible edible, so am always looking for ways to do this. Was resisting the idea of inedible stamens. Your ideas are so innovative! Can't wait to get started on my cherry blossom rice stick stamens ;-)

So, you owe the IRS. Bummer. Here's how to plan better for next year
While all your friends are posting on Facebook about what they plan to do with their tax returns, you're scrambling to figure out how you'e going to drum up the money you owe in taxes.
Paying taxes can be a bummer, especially if you are short on cash or unprepared. Here's what you can do to plan accordingly for next year.
Make sure you are withholding the correct amount from your W-4
Check your W-4 form or your withholding exemption form to make sure you are withholding the correct amount, according to Paul F. McGee, CPA and professor in the Accounting and Finance Department at Salem State University.
While the form may look like another language, you don't need to worry about reading it too closely, just make sure you are withholding 0 instead of 1 or another number, according to McGee.
"If you owe money this year probably because you withholdings aren't enough, so if you go to 0 should take care of that problem," McGee said. "Even if you are married, there is a box on W-4 that says married, withhold at single rate and make that 0."
And if you are beating yourself up over not getting a tax return, don't be, according to Sam Handwerger, CPA and full-time lecturer at the University of Maryland, Robert H. Smith School of Business.
A tax return just means that someone overpaid the IRS and ultimately gave the government an interest-free loan.
"Just because you owe money to the IRS doesn't mean you haven't taken advantage of all your savings tax techniques," Handwerger said.
If you're a freelancer, you will probably make this mistake only once
Freelancers may get hit with a double whammy during tax season, unless they plan ahead.

My friend Haley Shaw is utterly lovely. She sings like an angel, and is wicked smart and real, and is one of the most beautiful people I've ever seen up close.
I've been listening to her song "Iowa City" on repeat this week. It's good, y'all. Real good.
There are these two other girls in Nashville that I don't know, but I wish that I did, because I'm pretty sure we would get along smashingly. If you want to hear some great music, check out Sara Beth Geoghegan's "Tired of Singing Sad Songs" and Emily DeLoach's "The Lucky Ones."

I just finished up a batch of hand-infused beet vodka, and one bottle has your name on it. So, there is that.
I have fallen into deep infatuation with Mumford and Sons.
Hm… finished my masters degree. AMEN! God is gooooood. Heard the best 160 beats per minute heart beat ever yesterday.
Got the tree up and decorated two days before Christmas – which means I'll simply redecorate it for Valentine's Day.
I love you AP!
sara beth!!!! i went to belmont at the same time as her. memory: i went to orientation the summer before i started, and one night they had a concert for us. well, not really a concert. there were tables set up to play cards, and talk to people, that sort of thing. with different belmont students playing music. we mostly didn't listen intently to the music, but as soon as sara beth started singing…everyone stopped talking. truly captivating. one of my favorite belmont musicians.
I know Sara Beth. I can totally virtually introduce you.
Annie, you are lovely, upon lovely, upon lovely. Thank you so much for the SWEETEST WORDS EVER!
I'm friends with Sara Beth's sister. That ALMOST makes someone in common that we both almost know! What a smallish, medium size world we live in. :)

In today's digital landscape where marketers are vying for every second of the customers' attention, traditional market research methodologies of surveys, focus groups, interviews, etc. are falling short in terms of bringing out the real needs and wants of the customers. Neuroscience proves that purchase decisions are deep rooted within subconscious, which most often than not is unknown even to the consumers who are being asked survey questions in the traditional research techniques. The major implication of Neuromarketing is that at times, findings go against our instincts and leads to higher marketing returns.
Neuromarketing is all about understanding how the human brain works and the real needs, wants, feelings, emotions of your TG and then realigning your traditional marketing tools and techniques to communicate effectively to your customers. Neuromarketing mainly uses two basic methods of tracking prospects' brain activity: functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and electroencephalography (EEG).
fMRI is used by using a powerful magnet to track the brain's blood flow and observe how subjects respond to audio and visual cues. This allows examiners to access the "pleasure center" and enable marketers to predict how the audience will respond to their work. The EEG electrodes measure electrical waves produced by the brain and allow researchers to measure instinctual emotions- anger, excitement, sorrow, and lust through fluctuations of activity. In layman terms, we can define Neuromarketing as quantifying a person's responses to develop business insights.
It is not just the cutting-edge technological marvels in Neuromarketing that has got all the big brands using it extensively to gain competitive advantage. It is also the research findings that play a game changing role in helping the marketers make strategies for incredible campaigns that go beyond human intuitions.
AirBnB used a HBR Research as the foundation for one of its most successful campaigns – 'New Yorkers Agree: Airbnb is great for New York City'. This ad campaign featured the heart touching story of one of the AirBnB host's Carol Williams – 'Meet Carol', which showed how AirBnB helped her survive the financial crunch post her husband's demise. This campaign created an emotional brand image for AirBnB and made it very relatable to a major section of their prospective customers. The video was not about what AirBnB offers in terms of financial incentives or its pricing structure but how inducting AirBnB in Williams' life changed it for the better – the financial part was simply implied. The important insight gained from this example is that marketing tells us to focus on the core product and price, but AirBnB completely neglected them to focus solely on the emotional triggers – backed by data and hard evidence. This is just one example out of hundreds of successful campaigns of big brands using the power of Neuromarketing. Neuromarketing should not be viewed as a different branch of marketing but more as a framework for gathering insights on which to formulate marketing strategies and campaigns.
Let's have a look at some of the interesting findings of Neuromarketing:
1. Fonts: In theory, selection of fonts may appear to be based on personal preference but Neuromarketing teaches us that Simple fonts encourage actions and conversions whereas complex fonts boost memory recall. This has far reaching consequences as this finding dictates that all website content, forms and instructions should be written in simple, easy to understand manner and simple fonts. A complex font visually stands out and can be used to grab the viewer's attention.
2. Direct Gaze: Viewers often at what the person in the ad or video is looking at and as such, it is important to have eye contact with the viewer to increase engagement and make the experience more immersive.
3. Earn Trust: The best way to earn the trust of the audience is by showing trust. Free trials, free resources like eBooks, webinars and tutorials are a good for a company to earn the trust of its audience.
4. Smile: A smiling photograph always triumphs a serious looking one and this is an important criterion while selection stock images.
5. Peer endorsements are more effective than celebrity endorsements and this finding has given rise to the culture of influencer marketing. Celebrities often lack the credibility factor and expertise on the product and in comparison, with the celebrity, viewers often see a drop in their self-esteem which spills over to the brand. Peer endorsers or influencers are more relatable to their audiences and have a higher impact on the decision-making process of the customer.
6. Product Placement: In the age of ad blockers and people shunning away from ads, Product Placement has a higher effect on increasing the attention to the product but at same time, owing to regulations which force makes it mandatory to announce regarding the product placement in the movie/video, the bran attitude takes a hit.
7. Cialdini's Scarcity Principle: This Neuromarketing principle has been widely applied across diverse industries with tremendous success. Nike's limited-edition sneakers always cause tremendous mayhem amongst its loyal customer base when they are released. Another proven example is the limited time offer of McDonald's McRibs. This is called marketing with scarcity. Marketers create a time limited offer or a product with dwindling supplies and are able to create a sense of urgency to bolster sales. The latest in the line of Limited-edition strategy are mobile phones – usually sold in flash sales.
