App Marketing Costs Rise in June As Downloads Dip
Mark Walsh
, July 31, 2013, 7:00 AM
Growing demand for Facebook's mobile app install ads helped push up average app marketing costs for developers in June by 13% per user, according to the
latest monthly data
from mobile app marketing firm Fiksu.
The company, which tracks the daily U.S. traffic of the top 200 free iPhone apps, said marketing costs per loyal user -- measuring how much developers spend to acquire customers who open their apps at least three times a month -- had increased to $1.50 from $1.33 in May.
Fiksu attributed the rise in costs to the popularity of app install ads as a vehicle for promoting apps to the social network's 800 million app users. Facebook executives last week indicated that revenue from the ad format was still a small part of overall ad sales but growing rapidly. In May, the company has said the ad unit had driven 25 million app downloads and that 40% of the top-grossing Android and iPhone apps had advertised on Facebook.
"It's no wonder that brands are starting to ramp up their spending on Facebook mobile app install ads as they are driving large volumes of qualified users at extremely cost-effective rates," said Fiksu CEO Micah Adler. He suggested the cost of Facebook app campaigns would continue to rise as more and more developers flocked to app install ads.
Recent data from Spruce Media, a Facebook strategic Preferred Marketing Developer (PMD), showed that the app cost-per-install through advertising on Facebook increased to $1.67 in the second quarter from $1.57 in the prior quarter. That's partly a result of advertiser demand being seasonally weaker in the first quarter, according to Spruce.
Facebook separately on Tuesday announced a new pilot program to help promote game apps on its platform for small- and medium-sized developers in exchange for a share of share of game revenue. Craig Palli, chief strategy officer at Fiksu, said the effort could help small developers break through to app store success, especially if they don't have the budgets yet to run app install campaigns.
While marketing costs for developers were going up in June, download volume was falling. The number of downloads among the 200 most popular iPhone apps dropped 5% from 5.9 million in May to 5.6 million. Despite the monthly decline resulting from the "summer doldrums setting in," Fiksu noted the total was still 22% higher than the year earlier period. It was also roughly on par with April and higher than February and March.

text: Medical Xpress - Cardiology News http://medicalxpress.com/cardiology-news/ en-us Medical Xpress Team Medical Xpress provides the latest news on cardiology New recommendations for treating patients with high blood pressure and CVD A new scientific statement issued jointly by three medical organizations and published in the American Heart Association's journal Hypertension, addresses how low to aim when treating patients with high blood pressure who also have vascular diseases. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-03-patients-high-blood-pressure-cvd.html Cardiology 2015-03-31T16:57:35-07:00 New stroke prevention efforts may be paying off (HealthDay)—Fewer people are being treated in U.S. emergency rooms for strokes caused by blood clots in the brain, which experts read as a sign that current stroke prevention methods are working. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-03-efforts.html Cardiology 2015-03-31T15:50:01-07:00 FDA expands approval for 'valve in valve' aortic replacement (HealthDay)—The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday that use of the CoreValve "valve-in-valve" aortic replacement has been expanded to include people at extreme risk for serious complications of traditional open-heart surgery. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-03-fda-valve-aortic.html Cardiology 2015-03-31T15:07:59-07:00 New resuscitation guidelines for severely hypothermic patients in cardiac arrest The general rule for treatment of patients in cardiac arrest is that once resuscitation measures have begun, they must be continued uninterruptedly until the patient shows signs of life or is pronounced dead. A new study has shown that in the specific case of severely hypothermic victims with a core body temperature below 28°C, resuscitation can be delayed and periodically interrupted for short intervals during transportation in the mountains without jeopardising survival. The study has just been published in the medical journal "Resuscitation" and was conducted by Cumbrian Mountain Rescue doctors, the Glenfield Hospital, Leicester in the UK, EURAC in Italy, the Medical University of Innsbruck in Austria and Stanford University in California, USA. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-03-resuscitation-guidelines-severely-hypothermic-patients.html Cardiology 2015-03-31T09:20:02-07:00 Individual short-term responses to antiplatelet therapy vary (HealthDay)—For patients with ischemic heart disease, responses to antiplatelet therapy (APT) vary between pre-discharge and one week after discharge from hospital, according to a study published online March 21 in the Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-03-individual-short-term-responses-antiplatelet-therapy.html Cardiology 2015-03-30T18:11:29-07:00 To statin or not to statin? Report offers physicians tips to help patients make the right call Cholesterol-lowering statins have transformed the treatment of heart disease. But while the decision to use the drugs in patients with a history of heart attacks and strokes is mostly clear-cut, that choice can be a far trickier proposition for the tens of millions of Americans with high cholesterol but no overt disease. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-03-statin-physicians-patients.html Cardiology 2015-03-30T14:00:01-07:00 For heart transplant centers, accessibility may matter as much as quality About five million people in the US suffer from heart failure, and approximately half of them die within five years of being diagnosed. Only about 2,500 hundred people a year receive a heart transplant – the treatment of last resort. A new heart can be life-saving, but it is also life-changing. Even under the best conditions, the surgery is complex, and recovery carries a heavy physical and emotional burden. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-03-heart-transplant-centers-accessibility-quality.html Cardiology 2015-03-30T08:20:01-07:00 First fully-implantable micropacemaker designed for fetal use A team of investigators at Children's Hospital Los Angeles and the University of Southern California have developed the first fully implantable micropacemaker designed for use in a fetus with complete heart block. The team has done preclinical testing and optimization as reported in a recent issue of the journal Heart Rhythm. The micropacemaker has been designated a Humanitarian Use Device by the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA). The investigators anticipate the first human use of the device in the near future. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-03-fully-implantable-micropacemaker-fetal.html Cardiology 2015-03-27T09:41:16-07:00 CDC: Hypertension-related deaths on the rise in US (HealthDay)—The overall death rate from high blood pressure in the United States has increased 23 percent since 2000, even as the death rate from all other causes has dropped 21 percent, health officials reported Thursday. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-03-cdc-hypertension-related-deaths.html Cardiology 2015-03-27T09:11:59-07:00 New stent devices can limit stroke damage, says neurosurgeon Elizabeth Celli was experiencing a moderate-to-severe stroke when she arrived at Loyola University Medical Center's Emergency Department. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-03-stent-devices-limit-neurosurgeon.html Cardiology 2015-03-27T08:31:13-07:00 Discontinuing statin therapy for patients with life-limiting illnesses is found safe and beneficial Maryjo Prince-Paul, an assistant professor of nursing from Case Western Reserve University's Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing, and other researchers in palliative care can now answer questions from patients with terminal illnesses about stopping statin medications. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-03-discontinuing-statin-therapy-patients-life-limiting.html Cardiology 2015-03-27T07:42:03-07:00 Short hospital stays don't impair STEMI outcomes in seniors (HealthDay)—For older patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), outcomes are similar for discharge after 48 hours versus four to five days, according to a study published in the March 31 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-03-short-hospital-dont-impair-stemi.html Cardiology 2015-03-25T18:40:01-07:00 Outcome not affected by family presence during resuscitation (HealthDay)—There are no significant differences in outcomes or processes of care for U.S. hospitals with policies allowing for family presence during resuscitation (FPDR) compared with hospitals without this policy, according to a study published online March 24 in Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-03-outcome-affected-family-presence-resuscitation.html Cardiology 2015-03-25T18:30:04-07:00 New model for predicting cardiovascular disease risk worldwide Researchers have developed the first global model for predicting cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. The model—developed by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Imperial College London, and colleagues—will be of particular help to public health professionals, clinicians, and patients in developing countries for prevention of CVD. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-03-cardiovascular-disease-worldwide.html Cardiology 2015-03-25T18:30:01-07:00 New blood pump system approved (HealthDay)—The Impella 2.5 System has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to maintain stable heart function and blood circulation during high-risk cardiac operations, the agency said in a news release. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-03-blood.html Cardiology 2015-03-24T16:20:01-07:00 New study shows non-invasive imaging tests can detect coronary artery disease long before it strikes Adding two non-invasive imaging tests to traditional cardiovascular disease risk factor assessment more precisely predicts a healthy patient's future risk of heart attack, stroke, or premature death, according to a study led by Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and published in the March 24 edition of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC). http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-03-non-invasive-imaging-coronary-artery-disease.html Cardiology 2015-03-24T15:56:24-07:00 CV organizations issue recommendations for minimally invasive valve treatments for children, adults As congenital heart disease (CHD) treatment advances, children with these conditions are living into adulthood, and over time, they may need additional treatment. A new expert consensus paper released today by the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI), American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS), American College of Cardiology (ACC), and The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) provides guidance on transcatheter pulmonic valve replacement, or tPVR, for children and adults who were previously treated for CHD. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-03-cv-issue-minimally-invasive-valve.html Cardiology 2015-03-24T15:03:43-07:00 Study compares outcomes for stent vs. medications for narrowed artery within the brain Among patients with symptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis (narrowing of an artery inside the brain), the use of a balloon-expandable stent compared with medical therapy (clopidogrel and aspirin) resulted in an increased of stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), according to a study in the March 24/31 issue of JAMA. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-03-outcomes-stent-medications-narrowed-artery.html Cardiology 2015-03-24T11:00:03-07:00 Blood test can help identify stroke risk following heart surgery The results of a blood test done immediately after heart surgery can be a meaningful indicator of postoperative stroke risk, a study by researchers at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center has found. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-03-blood-heart-surgery.html Cardiology 2015-03-23T16:37:11-07:00 Smoking in front of your kids may increase their risk of heart disease as adults Kids exposed to their parents' smoking may have a higher risk of developing heart disease in adulthood than those whose parents didn't smoke, according to research in the American Heart Association journal Circulation. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-03-front-kids-heart-disease-adults.html Cardiology 2015-03-23T16:00:02-07:00 Number of births may affect mom's future heart health Women who give birth to four or more children are more likely to have cardiovascular changes that can be early indicators of heart disease than women who have fewer children, new research by UT Southwestern Medical Center cardiologists finds. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-03-births-affect-mom-future-heart.html Cardiology 2015-03-23T12:38:11-07:00 Discontinuing statins for patients with life limiting illness Discontinuing statin use in patients with late-stage cancer and other terminal illnesses may help improve patients' quality of life without causing other adverse health effects, according to a new study by led by researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and Duke University and funded by the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR). http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-03-discontinuing-statins-patients-life-limiting.html Cardiology 2015-03-23T11:00:03-07:00 Study first to identify spontaneous coronary artery disease as inherited A Mayo Clinic study has identified a familial association in spontaneous coronary artery dissection, a type of heart attack that most commonly affects younger women, suggesting a genetic predisposition to the condition, researchers say. The results are published in the March 23 issue of JAMA Internal Medicine. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-03-spontaneous-coronary-artery-disease-inherited.html Cardiology 2015-03-23T11:00:02-07:00 Brain activity during cardiac arrest All over the world, researchers are trying to solve an age-old mystery: What happens in the brain when the heart stops? With the support of the Austrian Science Fund FWF, medical experts from Vienna are participating in an international study that looks into memory processes during cardiac arrest. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-03-brain-cardiac.html Cardiology 2015-03-23T08:10:01-07:00 Better blood pressure management may help slow the aging process Could the aging process be slowed by aggressively managing an older person's high blood pressure? http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-03-blood-pressure-aging.html Cardiology 2015-03-23T07:50:01-07:00 Exposure to bushfire smoke increases risk of cardiac arrest in men over 35 Men over 35 have an increased risk of cardiac arrest if exposed to poor quality air from bushfires, a new study has found. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-03-exposure-bushfire-cardiac-men.html Cardiology 2015-03-23T07:33:37-07:00 Public outcomes reporting tied to lower PCI rates for acute MI (HealthDay)—Public reporting of outcomes may be tied to lower rates of percutaneous revascularization and higher in-hospital mortality among acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients in reporting states, compared to nonreporting states, according to a study published in the March 24 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-03-outcomes-tied-pci-acute-mi.html Cardiology 2015-03-20T10:39:48-07:00 ACC releases latest training recs for cardiology fellows (HealthDay)—The newest iteration of the Core Cardiovascular Training Statement, COCATS 4, updating training recommendations for cardiovascular fellows, has been released by the American College of Cardiology. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-03-acc-latest-recs-cardiology-fellows.html Cardiology 2015-03-19T17:00:01-07:00 WBC, neutrophil counts predict stroke risk in older Asian men (HealthDay)—Higher total white blood cell (WBC) and neutrophil counts are independent predictors of stroke in older Japanese-American men, according to a study published online March 4 in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-03-wbc-neutrophil-older-asian-men.html Cardiology 2015-03-18T16:40:01-07:00 Cardiovascular screening in men with ED could save billions (HealthDay)—Screening men presenting with erectile dysfunction (ED) for cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors can potentially cut future cardiovascular events and save billions of dollars over 20 years, according to a study published online March 2 in The Journal of Sexual Medicine. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-03-cardiovascular-screening-men-ed-billions.html Cardiology 2015-03-18T16:30:01-07:00

The rhyme based on Lizzie Borden and the murder of her parents is: "Lizzie Borden took an axe, And gave her mother forty whacks; When she saw what she had done, She gave her father forty-one," as cited by History.com.Know More
On Aug. 4, 1892, the bodies of Lizzie Borden's parents were found at their home in Fall River, Mass. Andrew and Abby Borden's bodies were mutilated by a hatchet. Lizzie became the prime suspect because she had purchased an axe before the murders and burned a dress afterward. Due to lack of evidence, Lizzie was acquitted of her parents' murders. There were no other suspects charged for the murders.Learn more in Folklore

If you're not in west Cumbria your voice counts for less in nuclear dump debate - MP
Last updated at 18:03, Saturday, 09 February 2013
Copeland MP Jamie Reed says the voices of people outside Cumbria do not count as much as those in the west of the county when it comes to the nuclear debate.
Mr Reed was taking part in a News & Star web chat when he made the comments.
During the debate the Labour MP answered questions on the nuclear debate which was left dead in the water when Cumbria County Council voted not to go to the next stage.
Allerdale and Copeland councils, however, wanted to find out whether the area might be suitable for a nuclear waste repository.
One man, from Manchester, stated: "Jamie, this is a national issue.
"It is strange how you say you're interested only in the west Cumbrian people that live there.
"I travel to Cumbria every week two to three times, and I often visit the Lake District and bring my hard earned money to Cumbria.
"Are you saying my opinion does not matter when I actively take an interest in this industry and am aware of the issues and challenges the industry faces?"
Mr Reed replied: "No, your voice doesn't count as much as the voices of those in west Cumbria. I know that may not be what you want to hear, but I don't remember my constituents ever being asked for their view about any development in Manchester."
Mr Reed said he would "do everything he could, for as long as necessary" to solve the problem.
He was asked by a lady woman Julia how many processes he was going to insist on until he was happy "democracy" has delivered the result he wanted.
Mr Reed replied: "I will do everything I can, for as long as necessary, to solve this problem. This issue – a scandal in so many ways – has been left to my generation to solve.
"I refuse to bequeath it to the next generation of west Cumbrians – that is indefensible. This does not mean a geological disposal facility in my constituency, come what may, but it does mean a solution to the urgent problem before us right now. Thirty years, five prime ministers, no progress. I'm not content to let that continue."

Is Ender the general Earth so desperately needs? The only way to find out is to throw him into ever-harsher training at Battle School, to chip away and find the diamond inside, or destroy him utterly. Ender Wiggin is six years old when his training begins. He will grow up fast.
But Ender is not the only result of the experiment. His two older siblings, Peter and Valentine, are every bit as unusual as he is, but in very different ways. Among the three of them lie the abilities to remake a world. If, that is, the world survives.
This Special 20th Anniversary Edition of the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning classic is now digitally remastered with a full cast production. It also contains an exclusive bonus: an original postscript written and recorded by the author himself, Orson Scott Card!

"Intense' is the word for Ender's Game." (The New York Times)
"6 titles in the series so far"
Ender's Game is one of the best sci-fi books written.
However, I'm mainly writing this review to make others
aware that there are actually 6 books (so far) in the
Ender's Game
Speaker for the Dead
Children of the Mind
Ender's Shadow
Shadow of the Hegemon
The last two books don't actually feature Ender at all -
they're about the character of Bean and the story of
what happened on Earth after Ender's Game.
All 6 books are fantastic. I've bought them all on
audiobook, but for some reason I can only seem to
find 4 of these titles using Audible's search engine
(and "Shadow of the Hegemon" seems to have been
renamed for some reason?).
Based on an Audible.com recommendation I looked into obtaining Enders Game. Admittedly I was reluctant to listen to this. Primarily - I enjoy political thrillers, history and biography titles. I did not see a science fiction novel fitting in there. On reading other reviews I decided to give this a try. Was I in for a surprise. This is one of the most entertaining audiobooks I have ever listened to. Hang on, because you are in for a warp speed ride through Andrew Wiggins world. Incredibly entertaining, intellectually challenging, and very mature. Sharp dialogue, great pace, non-stop action. As with most truly great reads (listens??) you do not want it to end. Well, Enders game is part of a trilogy: Enders Shadow and Shadow of the Hedgemon. I just finished Enders Shadow, another excellent audiobook. I have purchased 'Hedgemon' but I need to catch my breath before I start it. Listen to Enders Game you will not regret it.
Love Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Romance books.
"Totally Blown Away"
Wow...all I can say is wow, believe the other reviewers, you need to read this book. This one is as good as it gets for sci-fi, but I think anyone can enjoy it. It is also a great performance, a wonderful listen as well as a great story.
The more audio books I listen too, the more I wonder why I didn't start sooner. They make the ride to and from work much more tolerable.
"Nice Surprise"
I have to admit, this audio book totally took me by surprise. Except for the Harry Potter books, performed by the incredible Jim Dale, Enders Game is the first audio book that I've listened to that I hadn't first read. All I can say is, WOW. The performance given during this 'reading' comes close to rivaling that of the previously mentioned Mr. Dale, in my humble opinion. It's obviously a very different kind of performance, for a very different kind of book, and that's a good thing.
As for the story, it's excellent. Recommended by my brother, I read the summery with a great deal of apprehension. A little boy, attending a 'battle school' to become the military commander that would lead Earths space fleets to victory over an alien invasion force? As I write this, it still sounds silly, and perhaps it is. But Card makes it work, and work very well. And extremely entertaining to boot. The plot and character development move along at a good click. So good in fact that I was completely engrossed within the story when plot twists materialized and was genuinely surprised. THAT'S the mark of a well written/performed book.
Overall, between Card's story telling and an excellent narration, this audio book should be towards the top of everybody's list. And not only science fiction fans, but anybody searching for a great performance of a great book.
"Just the beginning..."
This book was a strange choice for me,(I didn't know Card, and rarely read Sci Fi) but I was browsing, and chanced upon it. For some unknown reason, it intrigued me, so I tried it.
It was, then, to my utter astonishment, that Ender, and his story, somehow catapaulted within me to earn a place on my list of all time favorites!(Lit major,former teacher,I've read a bunch).
The story itself is a good one, but I think that, it is its unraveling, that speaks to one's soul.
But to experience all the depth and wonder of the series, you must start here. Card himself admits, that he basically wrote this book to set the stage for the next one, which is "Speaker for the Dead"(my favorite...so far)
I encourage you, even if you don't usually read this type of book to try it.
Experiencing withdrawal symptoms, waiting for audible to offer "Xenocide",(the sequel to Speaker), and hopelessly addicted to Ender's story, I wandered on to listen to the others in the series. I actually READ "Ender's Shadow", because I didn't want an abridgement (I craved every single word!). I thought that these other books would have little impact on me, since Ender's character is only a peripheral element.
Was I wrong!
In the "Shadow" series, like the peeling of an onion, Card reveals layer after layer of the characters he creates in this book, and I found myself caring as much about them as I did about Ender.
I understand that Card is in the process of writing a book about Ender's mother.(As is probably obvious, I became obsessed with Ender, and had to find out everything I possibly could.) Before I read the "Shadow" series, I thought, "Who would want to read a book about Ender's mother?" Now I know the answer: ME.
If you start with "Ender's Game",and then go on to the others in the series, I think the answer might also be YOU!
Paranormal-urban fantasy book lover!
"Simply Brilliant!"
I cannot believe this was written in the 80's. This book is captivating, entertaining, humorous, heart warming and emotional. I found myself wanting more, watching Ender grow up and the trials he goes through at such a young age tugged at my heart strings. I really liked the story of Peter and Valentine as well. Honestly, I'm glad they made a movie because I probably would not have picked this book up otherwise. I always read the books before a movie and I can't be sure the movie can do the book justice but I will definitely be seeing the movie.
The narration was perfect. I am a very picky listener and don't like trying new narrators because they can absolutely ruin a book. These readers did an amazing job. I never got confused on the characters and it flowed seamlessly.
Onto the next. I am a Orson Scott Card fan for life now!!!
When I drive, I read... uhm listen. I like SciFi, Fantasy, some Detective and Espionage novels and Religion. Now and then I will also listen to something else.
"A good production with a little extra"
Do you have to listen to the audiobook of 'Ender's Game' if you had listened to the audio play 'Ender's Game Alive' and want to further immerse yourself in the so-called 'Enderverse'? A lot of die-hard Ender fans seems to swear by it judging from the reviews. I disagree.
While 'Ender's Game' is probably the best option for the purist, 'Ender's Game Alive' gives you the whole story and more, since Orson Scott Card has seemingly incorporated some ideas from 'Ender's Shadow' in the audio play. Furthermore die-hard Enderverse purists should start with 'First Meetings: in the Enderverse' which contains the original novelette. Personally, I prefer 'Ender's Game Alive' due to the actors and the ripening of an old classic into its current form.
Yet this review is about 'Ender's Game' which is itself an excellent production which also deserves five stars.
The story while along the same lines, are more inward focussed. Much is left implicit and it seems that the listener is caught up in the mind of the boy Ender Wiggin. The listener sees the world of Battle School through the eyes of Ender and your emotions are closely linked to the way he experiences things. The audiobook also provides you with more elaborate scenes especially after the great war against the 'Buggers' are won.
The bonus material added to the audiobook 'Ender's Game' might tip the scale in buying the audiobook and not the audio play. Orson Scott Card discusses how 'Ender's Game' came into being for more than half an hour. It is indeed an interesting listen which also gives you some insight on how the film came into being. In another added recording at the back of the audiobook, Card addresses young listeners/readers about the truths found in Ender's Game and how it apply to their world. If you care for these things, the audiobook might be the best choice. If not, you are faced with a difficult decision - both 'Ender's Game' (the audio book) and 'Ender's Game Alive' are excellent productions that brings alive the Enderverse. Enjoy Ender's universe, just don't buy both versions of Ender's Game.
"Harry Potter has nothing on Ender Wiggin"
Don't get me wrong. Although this is a story about a child, it's not written for children. A child might enjoy it, but it is a story about war, violence and politics. It is a classic tale of the weak overcoming extreme adversity.
Ender faces many trials during his training to become the savior of the world in a futuristic setting. He is a character I could identify with and found myself cheering him on at each challenge.
An excellent book. I can't wait to listen to the related stories to find out what happens next to Ender and what happened to his friends and family.
"Lord of the Rings for the 21st Century, Part 1?"
This book is the first part of an astounding series of four books; Ender's game, Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide and Children of the Mind. Although interesting, deep and often fun in itself, Ender's Game serves a greater role of introducing the child Andrew Wiggan, his sister and brother Valentine and Peter, and the concept of another rational (the books use "sentient") Alien Species, known unaffectionately as "The Buggers". Ender is a sensitive but brilliant young boy whose combination of intelligence and desperateness for survival, and extraordinary empathy make him invincible in any setting, physical attack, mind games whatever. And hence set him up to be the potential saviour of the the human race in their war to the death against the Buggers. But this book is really a lot like "The Hobbit" is to "Lord of the Rings", and establishes characters who are in the later books a vehicle for astounding ideas and insights ranging across science fiction, physics, religion, psychology, romance, courage and self sacrifice. With a few small tussles between good and evil thrown in. I feel certain that in 100 yrs after their writing these books will be considered a pinnacle of a style of literary creation. Get listening ...
"Boy genius in battle school - intriguing plot"
I enjoyed this book in college and 15 years later, I re-read it and still enjoyed it. I think the plot of brilliant children in battle school makes this book intriguing. As you're reading to find out what happens next, you're also contemplating their circumstances - "do brilliant children think like adults and so is it acceptable to treat them as such?" and "if they excel at that age in military tactics, should you be afraid of them when they get older?"
Only a small portion of the book weakened the story. There were hints of overpopulation and prohibition of religious practice. You're left wondering if the parents were allowed only one or two children... what does that mean to the protagonist (the third child). Also there were a few scenes of religious acts, such as praying, that didn't seem relevant to the story -- other than breaking the law to express a thought or an emotion to show how they felt about the protagonist??
"Excellent Sc-Fi"
A friend recommended that I read 'Ender's Game' and I am glad they did and in particular that I chose to listen to this audiobook version. The narration is unlike any other I've heard. The main narrator isn't just reading the book it is something of a performance and has variation in tone and feeling. The use of different people for different characters makes it more of a performance piece too. The book is a classic of Sci-Fi and has garnered well deserved rewards. I really got into it about a third of the way through not being sure what it was going to be like before that so I recommend sticking with it for the great ideas in the book. The author's afterword is brilliant too. Highly recommended.
"This should be compulsory reading"
While this is a splendid piece of science fiction writing, it is so much more. The story of humanity against aliens is one of the timeless themes. Inevitably we must triumph. However, the way in which we win is a tale of ruthless manipulation. It asks one of the biggest philosophical questions in whether the end ever justifies the means and whether the needs of the one must always be subsumed the needs of the many. It is a truly marvellous piece of writing.
"Just wow"
Loved the book, but the audiobook takes it to another level, the production is fantastic and really sets the mood. :) enjoy
"Enders Game"
Very interesting book. Great for a long car ride , the the kids were so engrossed they didn't want a comfort stop.
"First awesome book in a FANTASTIC series"
I picked up this book with great recommendations but low expectations. Children fighting in space? Sounds lame. It is not. It is wonderful. It borrows some of the 'super-human genius' people angle from Dune, and to great effect. The characters are believable despite their excellence, and both lovable and hatable in the right times.
You need to give this first book a chance as, if you like it, there are a few more where that came from waiting!
"Immensely enjoyable"
What a great book. It might be a few decades old now but it stands the test of time admirably.
"second time around"
I came to this story late and well after its release date , i read this and was blown away by how good it is , how complex the story felt even though it really is easy to follow and best of all how far you can get into the character of ender.
I say read but i didnt read it i listened and i think this story and others in the series are better in this format , some books are better read but o s c has this book almost perfect and it needs to be listened to.
I say almost perfect if i hadnt listened to speaker for the dead straight after this would be my number one book , it should be listened to by any fan of sci fi or people who like a well thought out well written character with a decent and different storyline.
I have listened three times now and will be listening again and again.
i cant recomend this story enough.
"A great story"
I really enjoyed this audio book - it's got a great story and really great characters.
It's told from a kids point of view which I really enjoyed.
The narration was also excellent. I wasn't used to having several different readers, but I got used to it and liked it eventually.
"Couldn't put it down"
I found myself listening to this into the wee hours of the night several nights running - couldn't put it down. The other reviews say it all: a great story and excellent narration. One of my favourites. I'm off to download Speaker for the Dead now :-)
Still just as riveting and deep as when I read it as a child - wonderful book, recommended to children and adults alike.
The following books are much more for an adult audience, though. Perhaps a side-step into the Shadow series will fit a younger reader more than advancing into Speaker.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Liverpool will return with an improved offer for Swansea City left-back Ben Davies, ESPN has reported.
It's claimed that the Reds have already failed with an £8m approach, with Tottenham Hotspur also having a bid of around that level turned down. Spurs have ended their pursuit of the Wales international with Swansea holding out for more like £12m.
Liverpool had originally moved for Sevilla's Spain international Alberto Moreno but are said to have cooled their interest after having a £16m offer rejected. Moreno is thought to be valued at £20m and while Brendan Rodgers could make a renewed effort for the player, his attention is now on Davies as an alternative.
Davies got into the Swansea first team in the 2012-13 season after an injury to Neil Taylor, never playing in the senior side under former Swans boss Rodgers. Davies has gone on to make 84 appearances for the Welsh club, scoring three goals, and has picked up 10 caps for his country.
Rodgers left Swansea for Liverpool in the summer of 2012, replacing Kenny Dalglish at Anfield. He was succeeded at the Liberty Stadium by Michael Laudrup, who has since been replaced by former Swansea defender Garry Monk.

Spirit Airlines cancels daily flights from Mesa to Denver
PHOENIX -- Less than six months after Spirit Airlines started daily service between Mesa Gateway and Denver is downsizing the route to seasonal.
The once-a-day service ends April 25. Service will return Nov. 7. for fall and winter travel, dictated by demand, said Spirit spokeswoman Misty Pinson.
Competition from other airlines taking this route likely played a role in Spirit's decision.
According to airport officials, Denver is the No. 1 air-travel destination for Phoenix-area travelers.

George Church and Colleagues Provide an...
From Our April 1 Issue: Optimize...
Hydra Biosciences signed a collaboration agreement with Pfizer Global Research & Development focused on TRPV3 antagonist product candidates for pain. The Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channel family comprises a group of nonselective cation channels that are distinct from voltage gated ion channels.
Under the terms of the agreement, Hydra will receive upfront and success-based development milestone payments totaling $195 million for the first product launched, with upside potential for additional approved indications. There also are opportunities for the development of additional products. Pfizer will fund all R&D and will receive exclusive access to Hydra's current TRPV3 patents as well as an exclusive license to commercialize any compound from the collaboration. Once the products are on the market, Pfizer will pay worldwide royalties to Hydra.
Recent work indicates that TRPs respond to a variety of stimuli and second messenger signaling, according to the companies. It is believed that TRPs act as multimodal signal integrators. This gene family represents 10% of all ion channels.
Since TRP channels are only distantly related to voltage gated channels, and homology among TRP family members is quite low, the firms anticipate that specific and selective modulators may be more readily identified in this family than in other ion channel families, limiting the potential for off-target effects, which have plagued other ion channel families.

Keywords: Detached House
We hope you like the look of our home and we'd be delighted to share information with you about what attractions, restaurants etc we go to when we are staying in Florida ourselves.
Ann Wells purchased this house in 2001
We chose Formosa Gardens due to it's location (literally 5 mins from Disney), the fact the community is secure and private and the general high standard of homes on the estate. It really is the sought after location for people visiting Florida for Disney, Universal, Sea World etc etc
Well, although seven years apart, this is the second time that we have stayed in this wonderful home along with the same family of friends as before. The reviews above tell it exactly as it is. Within striking distance of the Parks, Formosa Gardens is set back just enough from the 'Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway'; so if your looking for a little peace & quiet after the hustle & bustle, look no further.
We stayed in this home In March. Very spacious. Nice layout. Nice neighborhood that felt secure in a gated community. Loved the pool. Very close to the Disney parks and grocery stores etc.
My family of 6 stayed at this beautiful home for 7 days during our Thanksgiving holiday. The home was PERFECT! The house was stocked with everything we needed from linens, towels to kitchen utensils. The pool and patio area was just beautiful and the layout of the house gave everyone their privacy and space. The kids loved the game room in the garage. We didn't use them but the house is stocked with board games, books and even have bicycles in the garage and saw it's fully stocked for the needs of infants and toddlers. It is decorated just beautiful and very cozy and warm and homey. The master bedroom is beautiful and we slept wonderful in the bed. I NEVER say that and we travel to Orlando and stay in these rental homes 3-4 times a year. This is by FAR my favorite house. It was a wonderful vacation, wonderful home and the entire process of inquiring about the home to the actual rental agreement and booking was a breeze with Ann and I would do it again the next trip! You won't regret this house!
What a beautiful home. This was the 5th villa we have rented in Formosa Gardens and by far the best yet! Clean, spotless and just a dream home! The pool was heavenly and we sure spent a lot of time in it! The kids had a wonderful time and so did us adults! The owner was great to deal with and we surely had no complaints. There was not one thing during that stay that we had any problem with. We did not want to go home!!! Thank you for a wonderful vacation. We plan on going back next year!
This is a large spacious house, all open plan, with high ceilings, giving you a really sense of space. We were 2 families sharing and there was plenty of space for all of us. There are 2 large master bedrooms with enormous beds! There is a massive flat screen TV in the living room with lots of good channels, as well as 'on demand' programmes to choose from.
Outside, the pool area has a lovely feel to it, it is nicely screened and has lots of lush vegetation, a real sense of the tropics ! There were lots of quality loungers and chairs around the pool too, we were all able to sit outside around the large table together.
The house was spotless when we arrived, we did pay a supplement for a mid stay clean / laundry service, which we thought was very reasonable ( for the size of the house!)
The location of Formosa is fantastic, there are many many restaurants just minutes away, and Disney is just a short 10 minute drive from the house.
It is a great place in an incredibly beautiful neighborhood. The staff is great, they were very helpful with everything.
Definitely coming back for my next trip to Orlando.
