Facebook Evolves from Social Network to Social Ecosystem
Posted on May 3rd 2014
Every so often, Facebook hosts its f8, a conference in San Francisco aimed at developers, media, and partners. This year, in front of an audience of 2,500+, Facebook introduced its vision for the next year and beyond. With Mark Zuckerberg kicking things off, Facebook introduced a dozen or so new products organized into three including Facebook's update to Login, which gives people more control over the information they share with apps, Anonymous login, which offers a way for people to log in to apps without sharing personal information from Facebook with developers, and the Audience Network, which allows advertisers to easily extend their Facebook campaigns into other mobile apps.
The theme of f8 and also Facebook's intentionally limited vision at the conference focused on three pillars…
1) Build
2) Grow
3) Monetize
The goal was to help developers expedite time to market, amplify visibility in the app world, optimize user experience and increase the value of their apps by plugging into the Facebook ecosystem. And by leveraging (still not used to using this word as a verb) Parse, a mobile app development platform acquired by Facebook in 2013, developers will have an unprecedented springboard toward market acceleration and consumer prevalence.
f8 2014 Announcement Summary
At f8, Facebook's quantity and quality of announcements was notable. While aimed at developers, the implications of course significantly impact consumers, brands, and advertisers.
Let's run through the list of Facebook's news organized by its Build, Grow, Monetize focal point…
The new Facebook Login: Letting people select what information to share with apps
Anonymous Login: A way for people to log in to apps without sharing personal information from Facebook with developers
Improved stability: A two-year stability guarantee for our core developer products
App Links: Making linking between apps easier
Parse updates: We updated Parse pricing to make building apps less expensive, and introduced tools for developers to build apps with Parse that work offline.
Message Dialog: Letting people share content from apps with friends through Facebook Messenger
Mobile Like Button: Like the Pages or content of individual apps through a native, mobile Like button
FbStart: A new program to help mobile startups grow through a package of resources and tools provided by industry leaders
Send To Mobile: An easy way for people to send an app to their phone after visiting a web site and logging in with Facebook
Facebook's Deborah Liu introduces Audience Network at f8
Audience Network: Developers now have a new way to effectively monetize mobile apps
Was f8 a 10?
If you judge success by audience response, the series of cheers and applauds that followed each announcement was certainly encouraging. While each announcement is important in its own right, in aggregate, they represent something far more profound.
The new "big blue" of the social economy has just grown up from a global social network with 1.2 billion users into a full-fledged social ecosystem. As Mark so called it, Facebook aims to build a "cross-platform platform."
What does that mean?
It's another way of saying social ecosystem.
What's that mean?
In simpler terms, it means that Facebook as a platform is becoming incredibly portable and universal in pursuit of ubiquity.
Whether or not people are actually in Facebook at any one moment, with developers building apps upon the network of new tools, Facebook users carry their digital life with them. As a "cross-platform platform," Mark's vision is that developers can carry the power and appeal of the social graph seamlessly across IoS, Android, Microsoft, and others.
Take a look at Facebook's list of new products again and what follows will make even more sense.
What Google search is to AdWords, what surfing and cookies are to ad targeting and re-targeting, Facebook's social graph and social expressions are emerging as an omniscient index of personal connections and preferences. Now, developers, brands, and anyone with something to say or sell, can find people based on psychographics not just demographics as long as they're willing to 1) pay Facebook directly or indirectly for it and most importantly 2) think thoughtfully about who it really is that they're trying to reach and what makes them both unique and well-qualified to hear from you.
In many ways, like Twitter, Facebook is moving toward an Interest Graph and away from a straightforward social graph. Users will not only discover new content, apps, and ads based on who they know but additionally by what they likeand express inside and outside of the network. And while that isn't exactly new, the cloud for which this data resides has now been packaged, productized and presented to the market for experimentation.
Indeed, Facebook is still a social network. That's its edge of the wedge play.
But the rest of the wedge, and its new revenue generating pillars include:
- Mobile
- Social Data
- Data as a Service
In a way, this is all very 1984. But at the same time, we as users have more control than ever before to fine-tune the signal of content and marketing that finds us. At the same time, to actually reach us, developers and marketers have to rethink their approach to grab our attention, pique our curiosity, and reward us for our time. In turn, we'll reward our suitors with the very things they value. See, this isn't just business, it's personal. This is what sets Facebook apart from Google. It's a more natural approach using a human algorithm rather than just a sophisticated technological algorithm.
Best of all, what Facebook did well at this year's f8 was lead by example. With each of the company's announcements and overall, the company itself demonstrated how to build, grow, and monetize.

The Long Weekend
Description: Overworked? Undersexed? So is advertising executive Ed Waxman, who must come up with a great new ad campaign within 48 hours or he'll be fired. But his babe-magnet brother, Cooper, has other ideas: to get his stressed-out brother laid. From meeting single mothers to strippers to desperate older ladies, each dating encounter is a disaster. Ed has resigned himself to the fact that he's about to lose his job and will never have sex again... until he meets the woman of his dreams. Now, with hope and luck on his side, maybe -- just maybe -- he'll be able to save his job and have sex.

what to buy
Extreme durability and versatility may make the Pura Kiki Infant Bottle (Est. $16 for one 11 oz. bottle) worth its relatively high price for some. Made from anti-bacterial stainless steel, the Pura Kiki includes no plastic, which is sure to please eco-conscious parents who want something more lightweight and rugged than glass. Experts say the bottle is a breeze to clean and assemble, but it can be uncomfortable to hold without an optional silicone sleeve (Est. $9) since it can become very warm or cold to the touch. Pura Kiki bottles can convert to sippy cups or snack containers with different spouts or lids. They're also compatible with several brands of nipples. However, some reviewers say it can be tricky to get a tight enough seal between the cap and nipple to completely prevent leaks, and painted versions of the bottle may chip.
The Kid Kanteen Baby Bottle (*Est. $17 for one 9 oz. bottle) boasts the same durable, eco-friendly appeal as the Pura Kiki. Its food-grade stainless steel doesn't absorb tastes or smells, and the simple, wide-neck design makes for easy washing and assembly. Reviewers report no problems with leaks, and most like the wide, vented nipple that's designed to mimic breastfeeding and resist nipple collapse. But unlike Pura Kiki bottles, Kid Kanteens aren't compatible with other brands of nipples. They can become snack cups or big-kid water bottles, but aren't compatible with sippy cup spouts. They also lack any sort of silicone sleeve that would make the bottles comfier to hold.
OrganicKidz (*Est. $16 for one 9 oz. bottle) says its single-layer stainless-steel baby bottles are easier to heat and cool, and a nifty stainless travel cap doubles as a snack container and a 2-ounce measuring cup. Like Pura Kiki bottles, these can become sippy cups with a different cap and they're compatible with several brands of nipples. However, some reviewers complain that the painted designs wear off too easily, especially when the bottles aren't hand-washed.

Nice restaurant serving a good choice of food at a very good price. English language menus available which helped a lot!!
Having eaten at Sphinx In Gdansk which we found very good we decided to have lunch here in Tourun. The waiter was very friendly and spoke good English .We both ordered soup for starters and when it arrived id was cold We should have handed it back as we tried to have some of it.We decided that we would not...
With our second visit to Sphinx, I was disliked with my meal and tell the waiter about it, and he immediately offer me a new meal, and excuses for there misstakes. I accept
and the new meal was very good as it had been with our first visit too..
The drawing card for this restaurant is the menus in English. That's where it ends. I had the steak and pasta in mushroom sauce. Pasta and sauce good - steak was tough - like the cow had been run over by a truck a few times. My husband had some oriental themed dish and ate 2 bites. Service - sarcastic...
For a non Polish speaker, first time in a non English speaking country, this restaurant was a draw card for me, because they had pictures of the food and the menu was in English!. Two pluses! Whilst the food looked terrific in the photos, the presentation was not that marvellous, and the Pepsi was served warm...no ice...the waiters were busy...
Great rustic style restaurant . good choice of food in the middle of this amazing town , good value too .
Excellent food at an excellent price first class service even gave us a free cocktail because we were friendly and appreciative. would go anytime go and enjoy yourselves
Torun's beautiful main square is no *** gourmet destination so it was by default that we ended up in this well-frequented restaurant. Unlike most establishments in the square, there was no TV blaring speedway and it had stunning views of the town hall and statue of Copernicus. Beer was fine, Chilean sauvignon blanc was tepid but drinkable. My wife said...
Food was great. Service was slow but the fact that we arrived at the start of one of the Euro 2012 games with 20 others did not help !
I dont really have the time or energy to write a proper review. I would avoid here from my experience as the food was not up to scratch.
Staff were friendly all the same and could not fault them. It is all about the food tho staffing is just a bonus.

Is it normal not to want sex after having a baby?
Is it normal not to want sex after the birth of a baby, and how long will this feeling last?
Laura Fijolek McKain
It's normal to have a decreased sex drive after giving birth. This feeling can last for months. In one study of postpartum women, 20 percent had little or no desire for sex three months after delivery, and another 21 percent had a complete loss of desire or aversion to sexual activity.
A number of factors contribute to these feelings. First, your sex drive has to compete with the overwhelming
that results from taking care of a newborn. New babies are demanding. They require round-the-clock attention and a great deal of physical contact. This can be both physically and emotionally draining. When you finally have a moment to yourself, you may need a break from intense physical attachment, making sex low on your list of priorities.
Second, your body is healing from the ordeal of labor and delivery. Major hormonal shifts are taking place that can make you feel off balance. You may also worry that
intercourse will be painful
, and for many women, the first sexual encounters after childbirth are uncomfortable. Also, your body is still
recovering from giving birth
, and you may not feel as attractive as usual. These feelings can have a dramatic impact your body image and make you feel less sexy and desirable.
Third, you may consciously or subconsciously fear becoming pregnant again. Evolution may help explain this. In nature, mother animals rarely mate when they're busy rearing their young. Their bodies just wouldn't be up to the additional burden of another pregnancy. The same may be true of women.
The good news is that most women report that this decrease in libido is temporary. With time and patience, you and your partner can rebuild a satisfying sexual relationship. For more advice, see

My son is 15 months old, my husband may only change my son's, i mean our son's diaper (almost feels like he is just mine) like 2 times the whole week and only becuz i asked him to. then he wants to be all lovey dovey, and it sometimes infuriates me. i know i feel alot of resentment towards him. I work full time and he does too, so it irks me that he doesn't help me unless i ask him like 5 times and then when he wants some he's all over me and to top it all off he gets mad at me cuz i'm not as sexually active and i tell him its becuz he doesn't help out enough and he gets argumentative about it and refuses to help out more. I dunno what to do anymore...

Thank you!
Our baby is 4 months old now. As a dad/husband I am doing everything that I can to make things easier on my wife. I get up with our son during the night at least 95% of the time so she can get her rest, I do a lot of the housework and cooking, give her massages and try to be supportive in all areas. All this and work 5 days a week. Her sex drive went from incredible and frequent before the pregnancy to non-existant now. The few times we've made love since our son's birth I've literally had to guilt trip her into it. I tell her that I need her, want her, miss her, etc.. She tells me that it's not me and that she's still attracted to me and still loves me, that she just doesn't feel the desire or need to have sex. She tells me that sex has been pleasurable for her those few times we've had it but it sure hasn't made a difference in her desire. My eyes are beginning to wander already, which is not what I want. I love my wife and I really don't want anyone else but I don't feel she's taking my needs into consideration. I make a point to anticipate all her needs and provide for her, why is it so hard for her to consider mine? If all I have to look forward to is the "guilt trip quickie to get it over with love-making" once a month or so....well I just don't know that I can make it over the long haul.

I didn't have sex with my husband until my baby was 3 months old. It took that long for me to heal up down there and to stop bleeding. But, partly it was just not being in the mood. Lack of sleep doesn't help... Also, sex hasn't felt as good yet, and the vagina is stretched... TMI? Well, it's what happens.

my favorite time for "nookie" was always early morning, but after rocking my 8 week old for 3 hours to the sound of a sleeping husband im never in the mood. so when he wakes ready and ive got 30 more minutes to sleep before having to get up and go to work, his libido has to take a backseat to my annoyed exhaustion. i feel bad for rejecting him, but its just not the same anymore, and he understands. hopefully things will become more normal once i get more than 3 hours of sleep a night :)

I have a 3 1/2 year old and a 7 week old. Both my babies were large and did damage that required stitches. Sex just hasn't been the same since my first child was born and quite frankly I have neither the time nor desire to have it. I find that working full-time, taking care of a toddler and a baby as well as doing most of the household tasks and planning leaves me with little time to myself. At this point I am not willing to give up the very little "me" time I have to someone who has so much free time. Don't get me wrong I love my husband but I find that when he is being particularly helpful the subject of sex comes up quickly as if I should "put out" because he decided to do what he should be doing with our chilren and around the house in the first place. I then feel resentful and pressured to have sex and it becomes one more item on my list of things I have to do. I just wish he would wait for me to be ready and not expect sex as a reward for doing what he should be. After all I just pushed another human out of my vagina 7 weeks ago and that takes some time to come back from physically and mentally.

My daughter is 10 months old now, and I almost never feel like having sex with my fiance. I am going to school to attempt at getting a decent job, on top of the fact that I do all the househould cleaning, the laundry, and we're a one car family, so I feel like I'm constantly on the go and can never get a break. So whenever my fiance asks me if I want to have sex... no, I frankly don't. I'm tired mentally and physically. Maybe if I got some more help and support then I might be more inclined to have sex. But when I walk in the door from school on my fiance's day off and see a sink over-run with dishes and I know I'm the one who's going to be washing them, just thinking about it stresses me out more than actually doing it. It's like you never get a moment to just sit down and relax, and when you do you'd like to take full advantage of it, not go get physical. So for the man who posted about women not knowing how valuable the sex life can be to a man, whenever you're doing 100 thing at one time, you're not too worried about sex. Be more considerate of your significant other's feelings, you have absolutely no idea what women go through after childbirth. The hormones are the worst part, because they're uncontrollable. I literally cry at commercials now, and I hardly ever cried about anything before I got pregnant. It's a crazy overwhelming experience to be a new mom, and while it has these amazing perks of watching this new baby grow and learn, the last thing a woman is concerned about is getting to the business. Atleast on my behalf.

I have two kids one is 3 and 7 month old baby. After havin my first I don't feel in the mood for sex. Being a wife, a mom and full time worker is not easy and my husband don't seem to understand that. By the time we get to bed all I want to do is sleep because I'm so tired, he wants sex every day if not he gets upsets and will not let me sleep until I do it. I don't know if after having my kids my sex hormones totally left my body because I don't want to have sex. I don't want this to affect my marriage, but men demand sex 24/7. Will my sex hormones ever come back? I need advice

My husband and I haven't had sex since 2 months before our baby was born!!The last 2 months of the pregnancy were because my bump got so huge and I'm so small (only 5foot)that it was too painfull for me.Then I had to have a c-section, and it took almost 3 months for the wound to heal.Once it had, I propositioned my husband on a number of occasions over a 2 week period only to be rebuffed with various excuses (he's too tired, the baby's going to wake, he's worried he may hurt me, etc etc)There's only so many times a woman who's just had a baby can be given an excuse before she begins to get self-conscious. Naturally I thought that he didn't find me attractive anymore, so I didn't bother going there again! Now here we are almost 9 months later and I may aswell be a born-again virgin! The worst part of it is, having gone so long without, I now have absolutely no desire for sex at all! And what bothers me the most about all of this is that it doesn't really bother me, and it doesn't really seem to bother my husband either!! :-(

My daughter is 4 mo old and since about the middle of my pregnancy i haven't had a sex drive at all. Im a stay at home mom and my husband works midnights but hes great at helping me when hes off and when hes awake before he goes to work but im still exhausted all the time. I feel bad because its not that i dont want sex with him, i dont want it at all and i dont think he understands that. I wish i had the sex drive that i did before i got pregnant but i think part of it has to do with my self image...i had a c-section and the scar is still pretty red and looks huge to me. he constantly tells me im beautiful and that he is still as attracted to me now as hes ever been...but it doesnt help..i hope that this feeling will go away soon :(

I have a 2 & 1/2 year old and a 3 month old. It took me about 18 months to have ANY sex drive. I think the fact that I wanted around a 2 year difference between my kids may have helped. Before my first, we had NO issues...after it was a whole other story. I did have a c-section, but I honestly dont think that had anything to do with my lack of sex drive. It hurt extremely bad to "do" anything--NO position was comfortable. I couldn't wear tampons, not even the tiny ones. I went to my doctor about it and would be so sensitive during the examination that would want to jump off the table. About the time that the pain began to go away, I got pregnant again. I had another c-section, and its been 3 months, still no sex drive. I also had my tubes tied--I dont want any more kids--2 is plenty for me. I work full time, breast feed, etc. Since my husband and I have been through this once, its not nearly as hard for me to deal with this time. I felt so guilty after my first. I felt like I was letting my him down...we have really open communication though. About once a month, I give in to see what will happen, I can't know that it will hurt if I don't try. So far no luck. Women's mentality changes completely after child bearing. We feel (forgive me guys) a greater sense of responsibility, especially if dad doesn't help out...we deal. I dont think guys really "know" what women go through...mentally and physically. We have already thought about "our" men looking elsewhere--thats part of why we dont feel sexy. Oh, and by the way--it doesnt matter if YOU think we're still sexy...we dont FEEL sexy. The feeling is SO important. Instead of trying to make us mad by telling us that you're looking elsewhere why dont you try picking the kid(s) up, having the house cleaned, and taking care of all the other things that Mommy does so she can have a day for herself--followed up with how much she's loved, without the expectation that someone is getting lucky. Or get a friend or family member to babysit while you have a date night. Sugar will get your more than salt. Maybe this will help someone out--my husband and I aren't perfect, but we try to keep the communication lines open--try is a key word. Its always trial and error. 2 years will fly by and you will look back and wonder when you blinked. Take it day by day and talk to your partner and doctor.

3 killed in N. Iraq
Friday, March 07, 2014
BAGHDAD – At least three people were killed in separate attacks in northern Iraqi on Friday, according to security sources.
Militants broke into the home of a local council official in the northern Diyala province, shooting him and another man dead, security sources told Anadolu Agency.
Security forces immediately rushed to the area and are hunting down the attackers, added the sources.
Meanwhile, one person was killed and another injured when an explosive charge went off inside a home in the northern city of Kirkuk, according to security sources.
At least 45 Iraqis were killed in a series of attacks on Thursday, including 33 in the capital Baghdad alone.
Recent months have witnessed an uptick in violence across Iraq.
Although most attacks go unclaimed, Iraqi authorities usually point the finger at Al-Qaeda-linked militants.

I know this will shock — SHOCK! — you, but your friendly GetReligionistas don't agree on everything.
Those of us who contribute to this journalism website have a tremendous amount of freedom to pick the stories that we critique. But frequently, editor tmatt pushes potential items our way. And in rare cases, he even proposes an angle that we might take.
That's the case with today's post on a recent Washington Post story profiling Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, a potential 2016 GOP presidential contender:
LYNCHBURG, Va. — A dozen politically active pastors came here for a private dinner Friday night to hear a conversion story unique in the context of presidential politics: how Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal traveled from Hinduism to Protestant Christianity and, ultimately, became what he calls an "evangelical Catholic."
Over two hours, Jindal, 42, recalled talking with a girl in high school who wanted to "save my soul," reading the Bible in a closet so his parents would not see him and feeling a stir while watching a movie during his senior year that depicted Jesus on the cross.
"I was struck, and struck hard," Jindal told the pastors. "This was the Son of God, and he had died for our sins."
Jindal's session with the Christian clergy, who lead congregations in the early presidential battleground states of Iowa and South Carolina, was part of a behind-the-scenes effort by the Louisiana governor to find a political base that could help propel him into the top tier of Republican candidates seeking to run for the White House in 2016.
The angle that tmatt suggested for a post: the lack of a liberal viewpoint in the 1,200-word report. That's certainly a different twist for GetReligion, which often takes issue with the lack of conservative or right-leaning voices in mainstream news accounts. So I called dibs.
The only problem: After reading and reflecting on the Post story, I'm not so certain that I agree with that criticism. (Hashtag: #awkward.)
From my perspective — and as the headline itself points out — this is a story about Jindal trying to "woo (the) GOP base." Are liberals really part of the GOP base? And more specifically, it's about a dinner with a dozen politically active pastors from two battleground states. Are any of these pastors liberals? Based on reading the rest of the story, I doubt it.
So, it seems perfectly logical to me that all of the pastors quoted are conservative evangelicals:


text: Getting a Cash Advance is Simple, Safe, and Effective These days, a cash advance is a valuable tool if you find yourself hit by unexpected costs before your next pay day. Getting one can see you safely through financial rough waters, and let you overcome cash flow difficulties without them harming either your credit rating or your standing with your bank. They are simple, safe, and very effective. Simple Arguably, the biggest advantage of the cash advance is its simplicity. You don't have to trail to your bank in your best suit, loaded down with documents that will make your case. You don't have to have maintained a perfect credit rating over the course of your life, and you don't have to spend hours filling in forms. You just have to be able to afford to repay the money that you are asking to borrow, and you'll usually have the money in your account the same day. Safe These days, the cash advance is part of a safe, well regulated system subject to stringent government controls. No matter what you might have heard, you are in safe hands. Hands that are legally obliged to consider your circumstances. As a result, you won't find yourself paying things off for months, and you won't find yourself being lent more than you can afford to repay. Better yet, unlike with most bank loans, you won't find yourself having to put up any security beyond a cheque. Effective This is the most effective way of overcoming short term cash flow problems for one simple reason: it was designed for it. Bank loans take too long to come through to be truly helpful, while relying on your overdraft is a recipe for a ruined credit rating along with ruinous bank fees. If you need money over the short term, a cash advance really is your best option. I have done some research and found these PayDay Loan Experts can help you get the cash you need without the usual hassle. It doesn't matter how bad your situation is, you can have cash deposited within minutes after approval - Click Here to get your cash.

Hey everyone, signing in from Southwest Ohio and am new to the forum. I am presently carrying a S&W 36 in a inside the waist holster. This is an older 1950's model and is in like new condition! This one was a hand me down from my dad and I really don't want to bugger it up while in CC. I have a Remington R1 - 1911 I want to carry and now that cooler weather is moving in I desire to get a shoulder holster for the R1. I'm on a blood thinner so I usually keep my jacket/coat on when I'm out in about in cool weather. I'm looking at the cost of a leather rig (really do want leather) and they cost as much as a High-Point handgun! lol Does anyone reading this use a leather shoulder rig with a 1911 and if so could I get any advice? Later I hope to get a Ruger SR1911 CMD size so I'm thinking I should get a rig where I can change out the holster for the CMD size gun. Remington just came out with a Commander size 1911 but they'll have to get their head in the real world with the pricing as I think the Ruger has the nicer bells and whistles too but several hundred dollars cheaper than R1 Carry. Anyhow, advice on the rig I'm wanting to get?
Remington R1

Service was great as usual and what I have grown to expect after a dozen or more orders over the years.
Atlantic Highlands, NJ
Very friendly staff. Product done and delivered promptly. Great company!
Leawood, KS
My only "complaint" is that your minimum order numbers are bit a high and it's hard to do one-off variations of the overall design. For example, for this order, I wanted one of the 12 visors to have a slight customization for the champion of our fantasy football league. Your customer service took the time to discuss some options with me (which is admirable) but we weren't able to come up with a satisfactory answer. So I had to order a championship "pin" from another vendor to add to the champion's visor. I would have been willing to spend more money with CustomInk for a more total solution.

Miss Universe Olivia Culpo Hones Her Craft at NYFA
With beauty and talent under her belt, Miss Universe Olivia Culpo is determined to bring her career to the world of acting. First, she admits, she must learn how to truly master her on-camera presence. Lucky for her, part of winning the coveted Miss Universe title comes a full scholarship to the New York Film Academy. "Working with NYFA throughout my reign has been so helpful, the school has so much to offer and I am excited to further my career with the skills they taught me." says Culpo.
NYFA, a hands-on international school of the arts, has been a proud sponsor of the Miss Universe Organization for several years. Past contestants have continued their training at the New York Film Academy Acting for Film School, including Dayana Mendoza, Miss Universe 2008, who was on NBC's The Apprentice, Crystle Stewart, Miss USA 2008, who became a series regular on Tyler Perry's For Better or Worse, and Stormi Henley, Miss USA 2009, who was a semi-finalist on American Idol Season 10.
This Tuesday, the Rhode Island native and current titleholder, was part of a special one-on-one workshop with NYFA Director of Acting and Musical Theatre Admissions, Roger Del Pozo, at the school's brand new Battery Park location. Del Pozo has maintained a career of working with actors through his professional casting and audition work in the industry. His experience and expertise in regards to "on-camera presence" for this particular NYFA workshop were very relevant due to Culpo's recent work as a television correspondent. "It was great working with Olivia," says Del Pozo. "She was very funny, charming and easy to work with. I think that she will make a great actress, as she is not only very beautiful, she is also extremely comfortable on camera. She was able to be herself and get her personality across, which is half the battle."
Like any aspiring young actress, Culpo has been bouncing around from audition to audition, hoping to land her first break through role. She says she'd really love to be a part of a romantic comedy or "chick-flick," specifically with a comedy actor. Her plans are to head west within the next few months in order to further pursue her acting passion in Los Angeles.

NYFA Acting Graduate Publishes New Book Based on Creativity
New York Film Academy acting graduate Dr. Ariel Orama López published a new theoretical framework based on Creativity and the recent findings of Neuroscience: the textbook is called CRËATIVE SYNAPSE: CRËATE.YOUR.UNIVERSE© (2013). It is the first theoretical framework that explains the behavior of the human being by integrating the following variables: creativity, neuroscience, and the new influence of the virtual universe. The collection book will be presented in the atrium of the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico on Wednesday, September 11, 2013, in a distinguished context of artists, health professionals and academics.
Dr. Gregory J. Quirk, a prominent American researcher specialized in Neuroscience & Luca Spaghetti, the well-known Italian amico writer -who served as a guide to Elizabeth Gilbert on her journey through Italy while writing Eat Pray Love- elaborated the prologues of this substantial investigative work of thirteen years: they provide in their prologues a nourished and accurate view of this text book, according to their experiences. The art of the book includes the precious paintings and drawings of Ektor Rivera, Celestino & Ramon Bruin (from the Netherlands).
The text arises from a practical & theoretical framework created by Dr. Ariel Orama López that departs from his preparation, experience and knowledge in science, human behavior, natural sciences and performing arts. It includes experiences of the author -with a logbook on his sensible hands- in contexts gifted with creativity and spirituality such as Mexico, California, Spain and Italy.
Ariel is a Puerto Rican professional actor & psychologist. He is a collegiate actor of the Colegio de Actores of Puerto Rico, a certified Executive Coach (specialized in Crëative Life Coaching) from TISOC, Barcelona, Spain and a licensed clinical psychologist. He was selected as a finalist of Taller TELEMUNDO: actores, in Miami, directed by the well-known actress nominated for an Oscar in the movie Babel (2006), the distinguished Mexican actress & professor Adriana Barraza.
Ariel Orama has worked in commercials, theatre, short films, indie films, documentary, series, television, media writing, and voice-overs, summing more than 200 projects in arts (2001-2013). He is also a composer and singer: one of his songs (Seré/I'll be) was selected for the Puerto Rican dramatic documentary The Eyes of the People (producers: Roberto Ponce & Gladys Albino) and his song (Alto Vuelas/ Flying Higher) was selected as the official Puerto Rican song for the World March from the Peace, celebrated in Argentina and New Zealand.
He performed in fourteen Short-Films in California during his NYFA training in Acting for the Film (Los Angeles). Recently, he was selected as the Creative Coach & Consultant for the television program Idol Kids Puerto Rico (from the recognized English franchise Idol ©) and have offered courses at the Colegio de Actores de Puerto Rico and other relevant forums about Psychology of Character.
Ariel directed and starred on the Puerto Rican Short-Film ESTEB∆N, which received national and international laurels and/or nominations (Director's Choice: Best Film, Top Ten Film, Best Actress, Best Cinematography, Best Editing & Best Music) in following contexts: Spain, California, Orlando and Puerto Rico.
The Puerto Rican actor has received different awards in performing arts, including Best Direction Selection, Best concept, Best actor & Best Script. Ariel was one of the five recipients of the Sor Isolina Ferré Medal in Education of the Government of Puerto Rico, unique National distinction in service and education.
Dr. Orama is member of the new movement Voces Unidas por el Cine Puertorriqueño and this special project has been presented on Telemundo (Acceso Total) expressing about of all this wonderful initiatives and his vision about the film in the Island.
Currently, Ariel is co-directing and working as the scriptwriter (producer: Vane Vélez) for a documentary that will be presented on Festivals based on the emerging Film Industry in Puerto Rico -the "Shining Star of the Caribbean"-, called CINECONTRASTES©: it includes testimonials of relevant figures such as Jacobo Morales, Idalia Pérez Garay, Vicente Juarbe, among others relevant figures of the Industry.
The book appeals to artists, academics, psychologists and to the general public. It is published in Spanish and soon in English. It can be acquired in different libraries of the World, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Sony.
Advice From a Hollywood Talent Manager
Talent Manager Susan Zachary was our guest last night, arriving to a packed crowd of students in the Welles screening room at New York Film Academy Los Angeles. The moderator was Producer Tova Laiter, who just so happened to bring Susan to NYFA.
Susan started out working at a number of different jobs, including public relations, advertising for film, and working within the studios. From there, she produced several films. Then, about 11 years ago, she founded her own management company, where she definitely seems to have found her niche.
As a manager, Susan deals with the clients, talent, producers and goes through the breakdowns, which is a key element in the Hollywood casting process. "The management business is secure and predictable, compared to the life of an independent film producer," said Susan. "It's all about selling! Whether it's a network or studio – when pushing talent – you're always essentially in sales."
So what makes a great manager? "An honest, communicative and persistent one. We always hear NO – a lot of reasons why an actor does not potentially work – so it all comes back to selling."
In regards to what exactly managers look for in a client, Susan said, "We are very selective. You should ideally have a body of work, a reel, a resume, and be SAG eligible." When asked by a student if there were any exceptions to this, as far as taking on new talent, she told the students that managers go to "The Leagues" (Acting school showcases) every year, and on rare occasion 1-2 people will get signed.
She was realistic about the hardships of getting picked up by a manager without lots of experience, but also stressed how perseverance is key and encouraged the students to love, practice, and hone the craft of acting. Most importantly, find ways to make yourself stand out.
Here are some great tips she provided for our students:
- Join casting director workshops
- Make a reel
- If you don't have content for a reel, create it!
- Do the ´work´- take acting classes!
- Don´t sit around and wait
- Treat acting like a job
- Get recommended by someone
- Show ingenuity
- Make yourself marketable for the manager and be creative about it
Susan also stressed the importance of making and maintaining good relationships in the business. In the literary world, it´s important to be cooperative (take notes and directions when asked to change scripts) and the same goes for actors as well. While actors can get away with more undesirable behavior if they have pure talent, it is rare these days because of the state of the economy. Her final words of advice, "Auditioning is a job! You must treat it like one."
NYFA Instructor Wins Big at Fringe Theater Festival
New York Film Academy instructor Anastasia Coon, who teaches voice in the acting program and Public Speaking in LAS, scored big time at the recent LA Fringe Theatre Festival for Gracie and Rose. Gracie and Rose live off the land love off the grid in 1950′s Wyoming – where wild horses run free and appearances are deceiving. Gracie lives as George so she and Rose can be together. The play brings about the question, is true love in the body worth the cost of living a lie in the world?
Here are some of the accolades for Gracie and Rose:
Winner | Best of Fringe Extension
Nominee | Best Solo Show (Top 5 out of 45 solo shows)
- "Her Gracie and Rose makes Boys Don't Cry look like children's theatre!" -Kristina Wong, Award Winning Solo Performer
- "Poetry returns to the theatre. Don't miss Gracie and Rose, this is what theatre is meant to do." -Sheana Ochoa, SLAM
- Ms. Magazine's Top 3 Picks of the Fringe
- "This is a timely play about a current issue that is only now being resolved – 50 years after the time the play is set. I highly recommend this play for everyone who believes in equality." -Bob Leggett, Examiner.com
- "A great script, a powerful performance rooted in strong character work, and visceral imagery merge into a tour de force production that exemplifies what one-person theatre should be." -Gregory Crafts, Managing Director of Theatre Unleashed
Disney Star Sierra McCormick Speaks to NYFA High School Students
This summer, the New York Film Academy high school students in Los Angeles were treated to a special guest appearance by Disney star, Sierra McCormick. We screened the most recent episode of her Disney Channel show, A.N.T. Farm, which is a huge hit with the tweens!
Sierra became interested in acting at the age of 8 years old, when she took an acting class at her school. Her acting teacher saw something in her and got the ball rolling from there. She landed her first role on the TV show, 'Til Death. Now, at the age of fifteen, she's already appeared in TV and film, with genres varying from comedy to more darker, dramatic roles.
"Working within the Disney family has been great!" said Sierra. "They treat you very well and really accommodate you." She started with a small role in Disney's Hannah Montana and is very fond of the character she plays on A.N.T. Farm, the super smart Olive.
When asked by a high school student, Lulu, what her favorite film genre is, Sierra answered, "Cerebral movies: including comedies, dramas, horror, and foreign films." Pretty diverse for a young mind. She added that she likes roles that are challenging, empathetic, different from her real self – she loves strong female characters. In regards to auditioning, she says it's very important for her to memorize lines, so that she is not distracted, and can focus on the acting. To calm her nerves, she's changed her attitude, realizing, "I have nothing to lose."
Being such a young actress, Sierra must balance her career and education. "It's my main goal to go to a good college." She gave example of plenty of "cool actresses" that have done so, such as Natalie Portman and Claire Danes.
With wit and poise, Sierra shows definitive signs of maturity. Her time away from the camera is primarily composed of "doing regular things" and surrounding herself with "grounded people." Something that is dearly needed with a girl in her position. Sierra closed with these wise words of advise, "Don't let yourself slip away. Hold onto yourself and your beliefs."
Martin Landau Discusses His 60 Years in the Business
On August 1, the New York Film Academy in Los Angeles welcomed Academy Award winning actor Martin Landau for a screening of Ed Wood (1994), followed by a Q&A between Mr. Landau and NYFA students.
Mr. Landau, 85, has worked on stage and screen for 60 years, appearing in films such as North by Northwest (1959), Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989), and Tucker: A Man and his Dream (1988). His television credits include the classic 1960s show Mission Impossible and more recently, several episodes of Entourage.
Mr. Landau explained to students that he left his early career as a cartoonist to join 2,000 other applicants who auditioned for the Actor's Studio in New York, ending up as one of only two students selected for admission (the other was Steve McQueen). Offering a history of the Actor's Studio, Mr. Landau also described his instrumental role in creating Actor's Studio West in Los Angeles, where he still serves as Artistic Director.
With such a rich history in the entertainment industry, Mr. Landau told stories of working with Alfred Hitchcock, Woody Allen, and Tim Burton. He spoke candidly about the actor's job, and explained that actors must always be observant of what is around them, making their daily lives a preparation for various roles. He demonstrated his own lifetime of observation by precisely impersonating Hitchcock, or by speaking with the Irish and Italian accents of his childhood friends. He said that only bad actors pretend to laugh or cry, and that instead, it's the actor's job to prepare and focus on the details and emotions of each character in each moment.
To that end, Mr. Landau encouraged students to enjoy the filmmaking process as it's happening. He even showed that he still subscribes to this idea – when asked by a student which of his films was his favorite, Mr. Landau quipped, "Whichever film I'm working on now." Wrapping up, he told students to reach for the stars: tired of seeing "robots…and more robots" in today's movies, Mr. Landau convinced the young filmmakers in attendance that it was up to them to once again make movies about real people.
The NYFA students and staff in attendance were awed by the talent and humor of Mr. Landau, and appreciated his time and important advice.

Tips From a Commercial Talent Agent
Jennifer Boyce, the head of the Commercial Talent Department at The Savage Agency for 22 years, spoke to more than 60 acting students in the Welles Screening room at the New York Film Academy in Los Angeles. The Savage Agency has been one of the top agencies for young talent – from ages 3 to 40 – for over 35 years. They represent actors for theatrical, voice over, and commercials.
Here are some of the facts that she feels are important for new talent to know:
- Having an awesome photo is important! If you are not known to the Casting Director, they have no imaginations. Have several pictures with different looks. Once the Casting office gets to know you, they will have an idea of your type.
- Be a "CAN DO" client. Jennifer said, "I work for free until you work, so if I worked for a year for you to finally get a job, that's one day's work. You will earn $627.00 at scale for a commercial. I will make $62.70. So I don't make money unless you make it. So I want clients to work. If I make a suggestion you should pay attention to that. You have to show me you are passionate about this."
- An audition is not a pedicure appointment. You have to really want it. If you don't there are lots of others who do. Every audition is an opportunity! When you are starting out, you should be willing to do everything.
- Don't just rely on your agent. Don't just sit by the phone and wait, complaining that your agent isn't doing anything for you. "I make 10%, so I always say I will do 10% of the work, but you have to do 90%. I get you in the door, but after that the rest is up to you." It's important to create your own work – be in plays, improv groups, get yourself out there.
- If something is not working, don't blame your agent, look to yourself.
- At the end of the day your job is to audition. Some actors hate the casting process. Get used to it. They might pick somebody because they look like their sister or girlfriend, but that is what happens. You can't control what they are looking for, but you can control what you do in the room. If you're getting callbacks, you are doing your job. If you don't get the job, it's not on you. You can't get involved in the politics. That's the only way you can enjoy being in the business.
The audience had many questions for her, including the following:
Q: How do you choose new clients?
A: I usually choose through referral. If it's not a referral, I go off picture and resume submission. I look for a GREAT picture, lots of training, improv groups, Second City and Groundlings. A lot of commercials are improv and funny, so those skills are especially important to me.
Q: How many head-shots should I have?
A: Have one good headshot to get you to see the agent. But don't spend a lot of money on it, because most likely your agent will want you to get new ones. Every agents has different taste. A theatrical headshot is different – you need one great one. For commercials, you should have several looks that show different types that you can play.
Q: What do you look for in a headshot?
A: For commercials, I look for a headshot to be well lit. I want it to "pop" and see what role you're going to play.
Q: How easy is it to get Non-SAG actors into auditions?
A: It's getting harder to get commercials for non-union actors. A production company has to write an "essay" about why they need to use you for a union production, and if they don't have a good reason, they will be fined $750. Casting has become more competitive so the Casting Director is not as willing to bring in non-union actors anymore because of this. They are more likely to call in names and their heavy hitters that they know. So new actors have a harder time getting in. Not everyone gets in to every audition – no matter who they are.
Q: What about sending candy or gifts to an agent in order to get a meeting?
A: I never open anything from anyone I don't know. Better to send a postcard. A postcard is a very nice way to introduce yourself, and I can see it without opening anything.
NYFA thanks Jennifer for taking the time out to provide invaluable advice for our acting students. Her final words of advice could not be more helpful, "Be grateful and thankful for every opportunity you get."

|Sacramento Kings sign Kevin Martin to 5-year extension
|Written by Admin
|Wednesday, 29 August 2007 17:34
Martin signed a five-year contract extension Wednesday reportedly worth more than $50 million after he averaged a career-high and team-leading 20.2 points, along with 4.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.23 steals-per-game during the Kings 2006-07 season. The 26th overall pick in the 2004 draft out of Western Carolina also shot 38.1 percent from the 3-point line and 84.4 percent from the free-throw line.
At a news conference held in downtown Sacramento, the 6-foot-8, 172-pound Martin was appreciative.
``I really want to thank Geoff Petrie and an organization for taking a chance on a skinny kid from a small school,'' Martin said.
Petrie, the Kings' president of basketball operations, said Martin's performance last season is only a prelude to greater success. Off the court, Petrie and the Kings like Martin's commitment to the Sacramento community.
``I'm really delighted that we could complete this extension,'' Petrie said. ``If anybody has watched Kevin play in the past year and a half has recognized that he's one of the exciting young players in the league. He's not just a big part of the present, but a large part of the future.''
First-year coach Reggie Theus also praised Martin's contributions.
``The fact is he's been working out very hard every day,'' Theus said. ``Obviously, he's a rising star and such a great example for the rest of the guys on the team. I'm glad to be coaching him and shooting him out for his lunch money every now and then.''
Martin, who averaged 23.3 points in three seasons with Western Carolina, has averaged 12.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in the NBA. The shooting guard has started 121 out of 197 career games.
Martin said he is excited about getting the Kings back on track.
``I never been a guy motivated by money,'' Martin said. ``But now I have an opportunity, along with my teammates, to bring Sacramento basketball back to its winning ways and to compete for a championship very soon.''

Photographic confirmation of special build Audis spotted around the world.
Scott Mitchell from the IamAudi blog has been travelling in Germany and, a man with enthusiast priorities, is making like most of us do who visit the Audi Forum Ingolstadt and stalking rare Audis. In this case Scott came across a gold-painted Audi R8 complete with black interior with orange accents. We're not sure it'd be our first choice in color schemes but it's probably just right for its owner (and also a James Bond super
It's an acquired taste I suspect but Porsche's Viper Green is a staple amongst anyone with a Porsche 911 familiarity. Be it an early '70s long hood or a modern 997 GT3 RS, this vibrant and most primary green offers a very unique take on the "look at me damnit" color palette. Occasionally you'll find an Audi painted in the hue as we have here and, most fitting, it is painted on an RS. It's a TT RS to be specific,
Here's one very interesting-looking Audi TTS found in the dealer stock of the Audi Zentrum Nurnburg - Marienberg in Germany. It appears the dealership or the owner dipped rather effectively into the Audi Exclusive options list and ordered themselves a TTS in what appears to be Porsche Signal Green. Opting also for black optics including gloss black painted wheels, blacked out grille, TTRS spoiler and carbon
This isn't the first Imola Yellow R8 we've seen or even posted in our Audi News Blog before but this latest car posted over on Audiblog.nl grabbed our attention just the same. There's something about painting the R8 in that gold hue made mainstream on the B5 S4 that emphasizes the car's exotic nature. No, we wouldn't order one in Imola and most owners don't, preferring greys, blacks and silvers according to
You have to love Dubai. A land where the super wealthy make the super wealthy look poor is a natural place for automotive oddities such as this pink S8 to feel at home. We've featured pink Audis in this space before but this one takes the cake. First, this is clearly the most expensive pink ringer we've yet to see and second, god love 'em, it appears to have a custom pink leather interior.
So what would pink on pink
Surfing the Audi.de corporate website we've come across one very cool download. It seems Audi AG has recently added the consumer catalog for the awesome new R8 GT. Unfortunately the catalog is only in German but there's great detail in there including matte carbonfiber blades and accents as standard and four standard colors of Suzuka Grey, Somoa Orange, Ice Silver and Phantom Black. Learn more after the link and
Perhaps it's not a surprise that the highest install rates for special Audi Exclusive tailoring are on the Audi's R8. One of the latest we've spotted is this Velvet Purple example photographed by the folks over on the IAmAudi website. Even cooler, the car isn't just painted a special color - the owner opting for a cool-looking black and magnolia interior as well.
We can't say it'd be our first choice when ordering an R8 but Java Green is definitely a cool color. We've just found photos of this car over on AudiBlog.nl. Check out more shots after the jump.
Full Story
This very, very blue Audi RS 6 just turned up on Twitter this week. We found it posted over on the Quattroholic fan page on Twitter and people there guess that it is Lamborghini's Blu Cepheus. We've always heard Audi Exclusive doesn't like to encroach on Lambo's pallet but with IN (for Ingolstadt) tags we're suspecting this likely Audi Executive could order what he wants. Funny too that the car is driving past
While spending the weekend in Audi of America's German market TTRS and rowing gears on its manual transmission, we couldn't help but wondering why more manual transmission TTs never made it to the USA. While the first-gen TT made due ONLY manual transmissions for most of its years, the second-gen car is practically the opposite with DSG S-tronic being the only choice almost across the board. I say 'almost'
