The infamous quote I mentioned's thread pop up:

Here's the scoop on STF Set Gear Costumes, with Season 7:
* The Current/Holodeck version of these Accolades, if already earned, should remain on your character with the associated Costume Unlock intact. Players that have already earned these will not have to jump through any hoops to keep them.
* If you have -not- already earned the Current Accolade, it will be replaced with a New Accolade that does not include the Costume Unlock (for a reason I will explain in a sec), but still grants you the associated Title it did before.
* If you have partial credit toward the Current Accolade, that will carry over to the New Accolade automagically.
The reason for this change: Costume Unlocks are being moved to the Omega Reputation, as projects that must be ran to unlock the customizable version of each set's visuals.
These Costume Unlock Projects will only become accessible after you have earned the New Versions of the set Accolades. Players that earned the Current/Old Accolades should not see these Projects in their lists at all, and should retain access to the costume unlocks they have already earned.
In other words, while the old process was:
1) Collect Set 2) Earn Accolade 3) Unlock Costume
The new process adds one step, via the Reputation System:
1) Collect Set 2) Earn Accolade 3) Run Reputation Unlock Project 4) Unlock Costume
The cost of the unlock projects is small, so don't panic.
Hope that helps shine a light on the subject.
So in short, new people will have to do an unlock project, AFTER they unlocked the unlock of the unlock, to buy permission to edit the outfit.
Boff's ? Go figure, probably not customizable
You know, they should create a system where you had to unlock the reputation system, first step would be unlocking permission to put resources into the system

What can I say. WeatherTech makes the best. I've used them for years and anytime I purchase a new/different vehicle, the second thing I do is to purchase WeatherTech floor and trunk/rear cargo area mats. I live in the midwest and I hate to see my carpets get dirty and wet in the wintertime.

How To Engage Teens In Politics
by Laurie Patrei on Jan 12, 6:36 AM
It's no surprise that engaging teens in general is difficult- their attention spans are among the lowest of all age groups. And when you add to the mix a highly controversial, sometimes confusing subject such as politics, your likelihood of engagement becomes even lower.

Occupy Teens: A How-to For Marketers
by Sara Arnell on Jan 5, 8:16 AM
The idea of group occupation has been around for a long time, dating back to protests in the form of takeovers and sit-ins throughout modern history, all in the name of social progress. Invigorated recently by Occupy Wall Street (OWS) and all of its offshoots, the idea of "occupy" is a word that has new relevance to teens and those who want to connect with them.

The findings, from Searchmetrics US Google Ranking Factors 2014 Study
Indicates that nearly a quarter (23%) of all searches are from completely different websites.
The report is based on an analysis of Google.com search results for ten thousand relevant informational and transactional keywords, focusing on the first 30 results. The research is part of Searchmetrics' wider US Google Rank Correlation and Ranking Factors 2014 study, which aims to identify the key factors that high-ranking web pages have in common.
Mobile web searches are increasing exponentially, with Google estimating that queries from mobiles grew five-fold in the last two years. Search is normally the quickest and easiest route to finding information on a mobile phone, rather than typing a complex URL on a small, on-screen keyboard. Additionally, new functionality, such as conversational (voice-based) search and advances such as Google Voice Search/Google Now, Siri and Google Glass are also increasing the volume of mobile searches.
"Google is increasingly focused on the intent and context of search queries," said Marcus Tober, Searchmetrics' founder and CTO. "It understands that these vary between devices, and consequently delivers results differently on mobile phones and traditional computers. For mobile searches it has additional information about the searcher, such as their location, which impacts the results it delivers. Our research demonstrates that marketers need to focus on different areas than they do for desktop, if they are to increase visibility on smartphones."
The Searchmetrics study indicates that mobile search results on Google.com tend to include pages with fewer backlinks from other sites than the results for the same searches on desktop and laptop. This makes sense because mobile content generates fewer adhoc links, as mobile users are much less likely to link to dedicated mobile pages, preferring to share/like through social media.
View the infographic showing key data from the report here:
View larger image here
"The difference in number of links occurs because many companies still use dedicated mobile pages. If more companies start using responsive design - which automatically optimises the same page to suit different devices - you would see fewer or even no overall differences in backlinks or social links because it's the same URLs," explained Tober.
Mobile results also tend to display pages with a smaller file size on average than those delivered on desktop or laptop. Smaller pages will be quicker to download on a mobile device, and use less data.
"With the volume of mobile searches increasing rapidly, marketers and SEO teams need to be aware of how their pages rank in mobile results, and understand the factors that correlate with higher positions, since they are not necessarily the same as for desktop SEO," concluded Tober.
The detailed report and infographic which outlines the full results from the wider Searchmetrics US Ranking Factors 2014 study can be downloaded here.]]>
Many noteworthy hold-outs, including Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Garth Brooks, ultimately made their music available to stream, and many more employ a "windowing" strategy. In other words, they withhold a new release from streaming services for the first several weeks in an effort to boost sales.
But with 79% of the U.S. population now listening to music online, what's the impact on fans of not having music available for streaming? Specifically, what do consumers do when they can't find their favorite artists' music on an on-demand streaming platform?
The answer varies depending on the kind of music consumer and their spending preferences. For example, those who spend the most money on digital music are, unsurprisingly, the most likely to purchase music unavailable to stream.
Similarly, those who pay for streaming services are also more likely to buy the album (14%) than free-streamers (6%), who are far more likely to find a way to get the music for free elsewhere. On the whole, fans willing to purchase music missing from online services are more likely to buy just one or two songs from the album rather than the entire track list.
Does a streaming ban encourage purchases or piracy?
In general, listeners expect newly released music to appear on a streaming site within two weeks or less. Teens have the lowest tolerance for long waits, with 60% expecting newly released music to be available within a week. They are the least likely to buy music that they can't stream, preferring to either find something else to listen to, wait it out, or turn to free alternatives. Adults aged 18-34 will buy a song or two, but are less likely to buy the full album than the average music listener. Adults aged 35-44, on the other hand, are the most likely to buy music they can't stream, with 19% saying they would buy the complete album.
So who gets the flack when the music isn't available? Fan frustration is most often directed at the service rather than the artist. Still, consumers overall are mostly understanding and show a level of patience toward both artists and services when their favorite artists' songs are not available. Seventy-two percent of music listeners say that they have never run into the problem of not being able to find the music they want on their streaming service. A popular artist like Taylor Swift missing from a streaming service might change that sentiment.
The Nielsen Music 360 U.S. Study is a comprehensive, in-depth study of consumer interaction with music in the U.S. Data for the Nielsen Music 360 U.S. study was collected in August and September of 2014 among 2,581 representative consumers ages 13+. The survey was conducted in English and, where applicable, represents English-speaking Hispanics. Surveys were conducted online. Data was weighted to the U.S. census population based on age, gender, race, education and household size.

At the start of the week, the new John Lewis Christmas TV advert had 10,608,348 "views" on YouTube just four days after being published on Nov. 6. 2014.
ccording to the Viral Video Chart powered by Unruly, "John Lewis Christmas Advert 2014 - #MontyThePenguin" had 362,068 shares.
However, John Lewis has also posted an untitled version of their video to the company's Facebook page.
Their post says, "Here it is, our 2014 Christmas ad. Say hello to #MontyThePenguin." As of Monday , it had 5,795,687 "views" on Facebook just four days after being posted on Nov. 6, 2014. According to Facebook stats , it had 151,164 shares.
This indicates that facebook videos are now getting over half the views and just under half the shares of YouTube, suggesting the social network is fast catching Google's video site as the go-to place for marketers looking to amplify their reach.
The stats support a recent finding from Socialbakers that suggests content creators are migrating to Facebook in droves (see chart below).
The Monty the Penguin ad has also sparked its fair share of spoofs, some of the best are listed here:
A replacement for Turkey this Christmas?
A horror version that mashes Monty with the trailer to 'The Babadook'
YoungOnes Apparel remake
The service lets brands target specific Channel 4 audiences based on interests such as gadgets or food.
The first brands to try the targeted advertising service include Rightmove, Baileys and Proctor & Gamble.
The move will see the broadcaster become the first in Europe to introduce programmatic buying – which will allow advertisers to better target specific audiences on its All 4 service.
All 4 is the new online hub for its TV channels and video on demand, or cloud TV, which will launch next year, replacing the eight-year-old 4oD platform.
Channel 4 has also built up a database of 11.5 million viewers who have registered their information, which the broadcaster will use to help advertisers better target their ad campaigns.
The Advertising Association forecasting growth of almost a third next year to £210 million (€270m) for ads sold on VoD.
"Our data strategy has enabled Channel 4 to lead the global digital TV ad market," said Jonathan Lewis, head of digital and partnership innovation. "Channel 4 offers superior targeting against our engaged, young, upmarket audience on our growing video-on-demand platform."
Despite only being released online on Thursday 6 November, and on TVs on Friday, Odell's track from the John Lewis advert has managed to jump straight in at number 8 in the Shazam weekly music charts.
Other songs used in adverts that are riding high in the Shazam charts include:
- Josef Salvat's cover of Rihanna's 'Diamonds', which has seen over 22,000 Shazams to date, launching the track to number 6 in the Shazam weekly music chart. The track has been used in the latest Sony 4K advert, a brand that has been known to launch the profile of musicians such as RY X and Jose Gonzalez in the past
- Julie London's 'Fly Me To The Moon', used in the M&S 'Follow The Fairies' advert is also climbing up the charts, seeing nearly 2,500 Shazams since it's unveiling on Friday
Miles Lewis, SVP, International Advertising Sales at Shazam says "Brands are increasingly using music in advertising campaigns to engage their audience, and there's no time where this is more prevalent than during the Christmas advertising season. So much so, this is now one of the most popular ways for consumers to discover new music, with the brand ultimately becoming synonymous with the track. Looking at this week's Shazam charts, the songs used in this year's crop of Christmas adverts are set to be huge. It wouldn't be at all surprising if the UK Christmas number one was a song from one of these adverts."
The deal will see Yahoo's premium desktop and mobile video advertising inventory integrated with BrightRoll's programmatic video platform and publisher relationships.
BrightRoll, one of Yahoo's biggest deals under CEO Marissa Mayer, is profitable and should exceed $100 million in revenue this year, the Web portal said yesterday in a statement.
Yahoo expects the purchase, which is subject to customary closing conditions, to boost earnings before certain items.
The acquisition would help bolster Yahoo's position in a growing part of the digital-advertising market.
"Video, along with mobile, social, and native, is driving a surge in digital advertising. Here at Yahoo, video is one of the largest growth opportunities, and BrightRoll is a terrific, strategic and financially compelling fit for our video advertising business," said Marissa Mayer, Yahoo CEO.
"As with every acquisition, we have been extremely thoughtful about our approach to the video advertising space. This acquisition will accelerate the growth of both companies – we can help BrightRoll scale to even more advertisers globally and they can bring their tremendous platform offering to Yahoo's advertisers. The combination builds positive momentum for Yahoo's broader display advertising business in 2015."
Revenue from online video ads may surge 56 percent this year in the U.S. to $5.96 billion, according to researcher EMarketer Inc. Yahoo will have just 2.4 percent of the worldwide market for all digital ads this year, lagging behind Google and Facebook.
San Francisco-based BrightRoll serves many of the largest brands and agencies, including 87 of the AdAge Top 100 U.S. advertisers, according to the statement.
It specialises in what's called programmatic advertising, which helps automate the buying of ads. EMarketer estimates that the market for programmatic video ads in the U.S. will rise to $3.84 billion by 2016 from $710 million this year.
"We believe the next step for programmatic video advertising as an industry is to extend and standardize globally, make cross-device buying simple and measurable, and complement and integrate with TV," said Tod Sacerdoti, BrightRoll CEO and Founder. "We are excited to join Yahoo to materially advance efforts in each of these areas. We're still in the early innings as an industry, and together, BrightRoll and Yahoo are committed to the vision of helping grow the entire video advertising ecosystem."
Last month, Yahoo had reported that its third quarter revenue from ads fell by 5% from a year earlier. It has struggled to keep up with rivals like Google that have seen ad revenue grow by 17% in third quarter from a year ago.
The acquisition is also Yahoo's first major purchase since receiving $9.4bn in September from selling part of its stake in Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba.
News of the takeover comes after reports in October that said Yahoo was close to investing millions of dollars in mobile messaging startup Snapchat.
Analysis: 'No. 1 for video ad reach in the US'
Rami Brusilovsky, Director of Video Advertising at cross-channel ad platform dmg, said: "The acquisition of Brightroll by Yahoo has been on the cards for a while. Brightroll were one of the last big independent video companies after AOL bought ADAP.TV and Facebook bought Liverail. Yahoo is sending a very powerful message to the market. By announcing this acquisition Yahoo is making a statement that it is much more than Alibaba and that it is sticking to its roots in online advertising.
"Even though Google is the one to beat in relation to video content views, Brightroll is the number one for video ad reach in the US. By buying Brightroll, Yahoo has in a stroke created a huge video footprint and a competitive edge over Google.
"For the wider video industry, this latest acquisition raises the bar for people trying to enter this industry. As video is almost 100% brand money, I believe the landscape will soon look a lot leaner with only the big guys and a few medium-sized players left. Medium-sized companies will need to up the ante and deliver true business and tech added value to survive and get a decent share of the market."]]>
As adoption of the technology required for multiscreening becomes mainstream in developed markets, young early adopter adults are no longer driving multiscreen behaviour, reveals analysis of the latest TGI studies from Kantar Media.
With burgeoning penetration of tablets and smartphones, other age groups are becoming more significant drivers and adopters of multiscreen behaviours. For example, in the US, 49% of adults now claim to own a tablet and 61% a smartphone. Similarly, in Great Britain and Spain smartphone penetration is at 65% and 59% respectively, in China 68%, UAE 87% and in Australia 67%.
In Great Britain, TGI insights reveal that 35-44 year olds are almost a third more likely than the average adult to say they usually listen to or watch TV whilst online (55% of them do so), whereas 18-24 year olds are just under a quarter more likely (51% do so). The story in the US is similar and there is now a relatively flat profile for multiscreening across age groups. By contrast, in Germany, where penetration of smartphones and tablets is a little lower, the skew towards multiscreening amongst the younger age groups remains stronger.
Multiscreening is often directly encouraged by advertisers to drive instant purchase online. In both Great Britain and the US, it is not the youngest (18-24 year old) adults who are the most likely to search on the internet for products they have seen advertised on TV. In the US 41% of 25-34 year olds do so (compared to 38% of 18-24 year olds).
Similarly, TGI reveals that, in various markets, a similar proportion of older adults have found out about websites they regularly use from TV ads, as their younger counterparts. For example, in Germany, 8% of 18-24 year olds have done so, compared to 9% of 35-44 year olds.
These multiscreen findings are reinforced by results from Kantar Twitter TV Ratings, which suggest that it is not just the younger generation that multiscreen and take to Twitter to comment on their favourite shows. BBC1's Question Time is always ranked amongst the top Tweeted-about programmes.
Traditionally, Question Time has an older skewing audience, with over two thirds of the viewers aged 55+ and viewers aged 35 or over nearly five times more likely to view it than 16-34 year olds. However, Kantar Media's recent study "A Year in the Life of TV & Twitter in the UK" showed that an episode of Question Time was the 13th most Tweeted-about programme during an entire 12 month period.
Geoff Wicken, Head of TGI International, Kantar Media, comments: "Anyone who still thinks that multiscreening is a niche behaviour in developed countries is well behind the curve. Our TGI insights show that all age groups in many markets now have the tools to consume content on multiple devices simultaneously. It is no longer the youngest adults who are predominantly driving multiscreening or being prompted towards online purchasing by what they have seen on TV. Brands need to understand this is now very much mainstream behaviour and re-think their digital marketing strategies accordingly to cater to a broad range of ages."
In a survey of 1,300 people from across the country, only 44 per cent say they are more cautious as a result of recent problems with national retailers in the news and one in four has never changed his or her personal identification numbers.
One in three say they know their spouse or partner's PIN and one in 10 admits to knowing their own mother's pin.
It's a tangled web and most Americans can't seem to find their way out. View the infographic below:
Nearly 40 per cent say that at least one person knows their user name and password and one in 10 admits to giving a bank card and PIN to a co-worker or friend to take out cash at an ATM or make a store purchase.
Despite that, nearly one in three worries that the friend or co-worker will one day take advantage of their trust in them.
Michael Greene, chairman and CEO of ID Watchdog, an online identity theft protection service, said: 'It is important to protect your passwords and use strong combinations with alternate characters and numbers, but don't write them down.
'Users should change their passwords regularly, and also to be sure to use different passwords on your different accounts.
'It's the same as locking your door when you leave the house for the day.'
Interestingly 16 per cent of those surveyed say their identity has been stolen before, mostly from theft of wallets, purses, social security numbers and mail.
Nearly half say it devastated their credit, debit card and bank accounts and one in 10 were never able to resolve their problems.
'In this digital age, all of our digital information is at risk,' said Greene. 'Hackers steal account credentials in the thousands to millions at a time, and with those credentials they steal your identity.'
According to the Federal Trade Commission's annual report on consumer complaints, identity theft continues to top its list of consumer complaints.
Americans reported losing more than $1.6 billion to fraud last year. The Commission received more than two million complaints overall, and 14 percent were identity theft related.
For consumers who peruse social media, shop and apply for credit online, sharing personal information is often difficult to avoid. Three out of five enter their social security online when asked, and 47 percent say they provide their entire birthdate - month, day and birth year - on social media.
'The best way to protect your identity is with a good monitoring and protection service like ID Watchdog, so you can find the problem before it finds you,' said Greene.
Alibaba also surpassed more than $2 billion in sales volume processed through payments app Alipay within the first hour and 11 seconds of Nov. 11.
As of Tuesday morning (around 10 pm local time in Hangzhou China, where Alibaba is headquartered) sales had surpassed $8.6 billion, with 42.6% generated from mobile, according to Alibaba. Locally, there are still two hours left in the day.
Known as "Singles Day" in China, the holiday was adopted by Alibaba in 2009 as a play on a two-decades-old celebration of China's bachelors. Since then, Alibaba's Singles Day sales have grown at a meteoric pace, skyrocketing a whopping 5,740% from 2009 to 2013.
Alibaba, which heavily promotes Singles Day, had expected to ring up 50 billion yuan, or a record $8.2 billion, for the day. Industry tracker IDC said it was "very likely" Alibaba would reach $8.65 billion, up from $5.75 billion in 2013, $3.04 billion in 2012 and $820 million in 2011.
That would make Singles Day one of the most successful, and lucrative, manufactured holidays in history.
It compares with "Cyber Monday" in the US, the Monday after Thanksgiving, which is also marketed as a big online shopping day.
The XE Currency app is integrating an SDK (software development kit) from Exponential's mobile engagement division Appsnack into its iOS and Android versions that will manage the ad serving to maximise ad revenues.
The SDK provides publishers with transparency into how audiences are accessing their properties – whether in-app or mobile web – and which ads drive most revenue. Consequently, it manages and optimises ad campaigns in-flight accordingly.
"The impressive results we're already experiencing are indicative of the sophistication and ease of use that Exponential's SDK provides," said Kit Purdy, executive vice president, XE.com. "We're excited about how this new exclusive deal will make our swift transition to mobile more efficient and streamlined."
Rick Abell, Exponential vice president, global publisher development, said: "Early results convey the importance of partnering with an integrated, comprehensive solution provider to simplify the ad serving process and increase revenue. We're looking forward to helping XE.com increase mobile revenues."
The day was founded by a group of students at Nanjing University in 1993 who decided they would celebrate the perils of being single every November 11th.
It wasn't until 2009 that Chinese retail giant Alibaba spotted an opportunity and encouraged retailers on its platform to offer discounts for the day.
However, are retailers ready for the flurry of activity that is about to hit their website and do they have the right infrastructure in place for it to hold up?
For international companies trying to gain the attention of high spending Chinese navigating the complex Chinese Internet can prove difficult on any given day, let alone Singles Day.
To help, Internet Performance experts, Dyn, have created an infographic to provide five tips on how retailers can navigate the Chinese internet on Singles Day.
Messenger has come under fire in recent months, as messaging was unbundled from the native Facebook app for a faster experience. Many users felt they were forced to download Messenger just to check messages and have been unhappy with the way Facebook has handled this.
However, nearly half of Facebook's 1.35 billion users now have the Messenger app on their phone.
Facebook's Peter Martinazzi, Director of Product Management, wrote a Newsroom post about Messenger's newest milestone:
"Today more than 500 million people are using Messenger each month and we're more committed than ever to make it the best possible messaging experience. Messenger was the first of our standalone apps, and unlike our core Facebook apps, it focused on one use case – messaging. With Messenger, you can reach people instantly. It is just as fast as SMS but gives you the ability to express yourself in ways that SMS can't. You can send stickers or videos, take selfies, chat with groups and make free calls. We've also continued to improve speed and reliability. Updates to Messenger ship every two weeks so it continues to evolve and improve."
CEO Mark Zuckerberg, in a recent Q&A, defended the company's decision: "Asking everyone in our community to install another app is a big ask. That required work and a lot of friction and I just want to acknowledge that up front. The reason why we wanted to do this is because we really believe that this is a better experience. We think that messaging is becoming increasingly important. On mobile, each app can focus on doing one thing well. The primary purpose of the Facebook app is News Feed. … What we saw was all of the messaging apps that people were using, that they relied on the most, were these dedicated, standalone experience."
Meanwhile, Facebook has been trying to get on the forefront of mobile messaging, and finalised a deal to buy popular messaging service WhatsApp last month for about $22bn (£13.8bn).
The mobile messaging app had more than 600 million monthly users at the time of the acquisition.
Watch Zuckerberg explain the reasons behind his app strategy here:
In October, the supermarket ran an online campaign, created by BBH London, urging members of the public to form a virtual choir and sing the soundtrack for its Christmas advert.
In doing so, they helped to fundraise for special causes by creating a charity single. The public were asked to visit the Waitrose 'Donate Your Voice' website, created and built by BBH London, between 18-28 Oct to record and upload their own rendition of Dolly Partonâs song 'Try'.
In an advertising first, music producer, David Kosten then mixed the recordings to create a virtual choir.
The choral version of the song, made up of the public's voices, was used as the soundtrack for the Waitrose Christmas TV advert, which aired in the run-up to Christmas. The song will also be available to download as a single with 100% of the profits going to charity.
It is the first year that Waitrose is releasing just one advert that is focused on the brand, rather than its products.
Rupert Thomas, marketing director, said: "We really hope 'Donate Your Voice' will put the fun into fundraising for the festive season, especially with the growing popularity of people joining a choir.
"Not only will we be able to create a totally unique soundtrack which has never been produced for advertising in this way before, but the public will be raising much needed funds for three fantastic causes."
The website will feature singing tips and coaching advice for people to use and singers will be able to upload film themselves singing for videos to be used on the final version and on social media.
The idea will capitalise on the resurgence of hundreds of community and workplace choirs inspired by choirmaster Gareth Malone, who was behind the hugely successful Military Wives choir, whose single, Wherever You Are, was the Christmas number one in 2011.
Those wishing to be a part of the virtual choir are being asked to visit the Waitrose 'Donate Your Voice' website between October 18 - 28 to record and upload their own rendition of the Dolly Parton song.
Participants will be also asked to put a virtual green token in a box to support one of the three charities involved, Age UK, Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity and The Trussell Trust, which supports food banks.
When the camapign ended the supermarket sent out a thank you video to all participants:]]>
In the game, players are encouraged to help a 'finger' find his friend Lolli (a Chupa Chups lollipop) who has been kidnapped.
The game uses Instagram's native features to guide players through a haunted house filled with quirky, spooky messages inspired by popular horror movies and characters such as Psycho, Dracula, The Ring and Freddie Kruger.
Tinus Strydom, creative director, BBH Asia Pacific said: "Bringing a new experience to people where they don't expect it, is what our business has become, and what keeps it fun."
Daan Simonis, international digital marketing manager, Perfetti Van Melle said: "This Halloween, we wanted to entertain our audience who have grown up with a mobile device in their hands. The campaign will give them a chance to experience game play on a platform they are already familiar with."
The campaign rab through to Halloween with supporting messages carries on Facebook and YouTube.]]>
More money, more choice
The latest TGI insights show that 47% of youths say they would like money for Christmas. Looking back at what this group received last Christmas, an overwhelming 70% say they received money. The obvious benefit of this type of gift giving is it allows kids to get what they want and thus sidesteps the risk of buying them something they may not like or want.
It's all about the games
If kids want money rather than gifts, retailers should be aware of how to advertise to youths spending their own money post-Christmas. For 11-19 year olds, computer games take the top spot in this sphere with 38% of 11-19 year olds buying their own computer games. In addition, 27% of those in this age group pre-ordered computer games in the past 12 months. The top types of games 11-19 year olds have purchased recently include:
1. Action adventure (29%)
2. Sports (19%)
3. First person shooter (18%)
Stylin' youth
Besides games, 11-19 year olds are keen retail shoppers, with 42% of this group spending their own money on clothes. Keeping up with fashion is important to these young people. For those who buy clothes with their own money, 30% buy clothes once a month.
For these youths, shopping can be a fun activity, but also dictated by peer pressure. Who they shop with may correlate with higher expenditures on clothes. This group of 11-19 year olds who buy their own clothes are is 71% more likely to shop with their boyfriend or girlfriend and 20% more likely to shop with friends than their peers of the same age.
When they do go shopping for clothes, 11-19 year olds who use their own money spend an average of £88.90 per year on clothes. This group also tends to opt for more premium stores when spending their own money. They are 63% more likely to visit Asos, 50% more likely to visit All Saints and 40% more likely to visit Zara than those in their age group who don't spend their own money on clothes.
Targeting youth spenders
For marketers looking to target this group of youth spenders, they would be wise to look online. They are 19% more likely to be in the highest one fifth of Internet consumers and they spend an average of 28.8 hours per week online. In terms of where they can best be reached online, they are 48% more likely than the average 11-19 year old to spend time online banking.
To better target this group online, Kantar Media's Ad-Vantage solution enables the creation of bespoke target groups of young spenders on TGI before generating the exact cookies to reach them online. Find out more about Ad-Vantage here.

Claire, I actually called about that presentation. I would have loved to have gone, if it were closer. But, not going to happen. I did ask if they would have a video presentation available online or a transcript and he thought the video would be unlikely, but that there might already be something available online, since she has done this presentation before. I am waiting to hear back from them, with a link. Thanks for posting this.

The online book world is about gathering around a book, or a love of books generally. If publishers want to capitalise on this, they would do well to promote authors who are fans themselves.
Fan fiction gives women and other marginalised groups the chance to subvert the mainstream perspective, to fracture a story and recast it in their own way. It's not for the benefit of middle-aged men with a vast audience and little understanding of the form.
Should adults be reading books supposedly aimed at children and teenagers? According to the literary establishment in 2014, this is a question fraught with difficulty. But is it really as hard as all that?
In advance of Peter Capaldi's debut as the Twelfth Doctor, the cast have been on a world tour, doing their duty to its global fandom. By exporting this British cultural institution, what are we saying about ourselves?
Introducing her new column on fan culture for the NS, Elizabeth Minkel explains why 2014 feels like a turning point in the appreciation of how people who love something interact.

From his foamy trail, look like he drew a line for him. Had plenty of time to cutback. Surfing is one of the only sports in which your allowed to play when you have no f-n idea of the rules.

big round of applause for neil here folks, this is by far the best thing online right now! i cant help but check the most recent remarks every time i'm online. i know there are alot of "world politics issues" being debated these days. i think in our "surf" world, this may be one of the hottest topics, it's brought alot of emotions out of alot of us. thank you neil! that being said, please remember, better a lip to the head then a fin to the ass!

Although we will never know the true story, it is likely that both individuals are punts. The charger does look like he has some speed, and judging by his lack of poise, appears to be struggling to control things a little. The gook getting his tendons sliced was just in the wrong place at the wrong time on his paddle out.

soutie Jun 19, 2010 Rating: 4
come on people. i am not sure what this setup is like but maybe he just wiped out super deep in the barrel or something and was paddling for the shoulder, we dont know, but who hasnt been there ? he is a out on the shoulder a bit anyway but there is no need to mow the lad down. the surfer should look where is is going and bail if he has to to avoid the collision. if it is a kook paddling where he shouldnt, explain it to him. kooks should have our respect too. be cool. if you get down and you quarrel every day, you're saying prayers to the Devil I say. why not help one and other on the way, make it a little easier? (just a little bit easier). say you just cant live that negative way, if you know what i mean, so make way for the positive day. cause its a new time and its a new feeling and its a new sign. oh what a new day.

not that i am one to criticize, because my surfing skills are something like wilbur kookmeyer high on crack having an eppileptic seizure.....but........the surfer chose the worst line available and has a face like a porn star getting ready to get the money shot......the ducker doesnt even need to duck that section and isnt making the least effort to dodge the surfer. Theyre both idiots and since they already look gay they might as well rent one of those romantic balian honey moon suites and go practice...not making babys!

dude i dont think you know what your on abt, if your paddling out you should head for the white water, you would know this if you had good surf manners, and i get sprayed all the time and you just have to get over it, and when you spray a surfer who sprayed you back its all jokes everytime i have anyways its like someone else on this thread said, kids shouldnt play in the road, if a cars coming along you dont run out in front of it and then complain when it hits you. spraying is like a surfer on the waves way of honking the horn. But this basically wouldnt have happened if the guy paddling out had paddled out where he was supposed to end of really i think most people who surf in crowds would agree if you go surfing when big and crowded you should know were to paddle

This bloke obviously cant even do that right! You might be a good surfer but if you can't show respect, GET THE FU*K OUT OF THE WATER YOU COS YOUR A DANGER TO EVERYONE ELSE!!! AAARRRGGGHHH!!! P.S. You lot sticking up for the guy riding are just as bad. Get the FU*K over yourselves.

tjo Jun 18, 2010 Rating: 0
like i said before, if you're paddling. it's your responsibility to not be in the way. if you have enough balls to paddle out at break like this, you should have enough balls to duckdive the wave in the proper spot. the surfer on the wave isnt the only one in control of the situation, look what happen to Tamayo Perry last year at pipe. a person who doesn't know how to paddle and duckdive, is the same type that doesn't look both ways before dropping in on you. next time you're hauling ass down the line and have to give up the 2nd half of the wave because someone's in the way, what will your suggestion to that person be?

Get real people, saying it was the paddler's responsibility to avoid the collision is bull and little like explaining to the cops that you ran over a kid on the street cos he shouldn't have been there in the first place. This was so avoidable, what an arrogant little prick, this is a dangerous sport but twats like this make it more so. Grrrrr, going to put on my angry eyes.

Musashi Jun 18, 2010 Rating: 0
Surfing was and is a sport for no pussys, to reach the highest level you pass through different stages which are practic and spiritual. You'd say that none of the pro-surfers today would fit in that profile but trust me, they do. To surf the best wave first you gotta make a place for yourself to surf it, it isnt enough with just the skill you need to ride it. So the moment where you enter the water is the moment where you must make yourself clear situations like this and your response. I'd have waited for the guy outside and broke his jaw, he is a small portion anyway.

I wouldn't want to be in the water anywhere near this ass hole. If he doesn't deliberately surf over you, he'll probably ditch and send his board into your face when a big set come through.

This picture simply proves that anyone can be a jerk, regardless of their chosen vehicle for wave-riding. I know there are some people on here who are intollerant of spongers, goatboaters, SUPers etc, but this guy is a bigger dick than anyone I've ever seen on any of those craft, and he's stood up..! It's the behaviour of the surfer, not the means by which they express themselves that should determine their acceptance. Just my two-peneth (or cents for you guys over the pond)...

the break is Balian. MSW doesn't give you the option for Balian. The water is dirty because it's at a river mouth..

Good to see the Brits being the voice of reason and tolerance. A quick scan of the nationalities of those commenting gives a pretty good picture of where surfing is likley to be the most fun...

that's bali for you, filthy water infested with kooks. obiviously victim doesn't have a clue how to duck dive or just how to get out of a harms way, but wtf is the other idiot doing? he's not going THAT fast not being able to avoid a collision. better paddle out on a spot which weeds these kind of beginners out before they get in a serious trouble.

Just lovin' all the comments from the bone-hard experts out there who don't waste their time surfing pish waves like this and have never had an incident in their lives. We've all surfed mush. We've all had a bump.

come on mate ...i know that is a brazo fever in indo ...off course you are right, but the probability to be a couple of europeans making shit at the line up is bigger than Brazil win world cup. Sorry bro ....

the surfer is the one who should stop being a pussy and do a turn in the critical section of the wave.
sdfjkljklsh Jun 17, 2010 Rating: 2
altoro you're wrong man. If a guy is screaming down the line on a fast wave, then yes, the paddler should turn into the white water and take it on the head. This guy is far enough on the shoulder of an open faced wave that he should not have to worry about being run over.
Altoro Jun 16, 2010 Rating: 1
Its the paddlers responsability to get out of the riders way, the paddler should have paddle left into the white water and not been such a puss!!!!!

the guy that got hit didn't get hurt, although it looks pretty bad. The sequence shots before this one, the surfer looking into the camera. I dont think he saw him till the last second.
mattmariob Jun 19, 2010 Rating: 0
i hear you man, no one intensionally runs people over even the photographer has varified this that its an accident, like the captain said prity sums up most peoples feeling when they are concentrating on riding the wave, the people paddling dont have much to think abt bar paddling out and avoiding people iv surfed plenty of crowded spots and have only ever been hit once and that was my fault for being in way as i didnt think guy was gonna take off and he didnt see me right in front of him as he was looking down the line concentrating on drawing his line and i admit that so everyone else getting in the way chill the fuck out accidents happen.

Learners in the line up as safe as drink drivers on the road. Know your limits , keep out of harms way.
Get Joggly Jun 19, 2010 Rating: 0
A learner in a crowded lineup is as safe as a drunk driver on the road. No your limits. Obviously a learner paddling across the wave with on coming traffic. Paddle into the whitewash if your going to be in some ones way. Problem today IS everyones learning to surf but nobodies learning the rules.
grandfield Jun 17, 2010 Rating: -1
only kooks and idiots put their thrills above the safety of others. exact same with reckless drivers on the road. take your pick.
CaptainGoodVibes-SuperPig Jun 17, 2010 Rating: -1
Yes DUDE, as I`ve already said, don`t paddle for the shoulder, you`re gona get ridden over. Leave the face of the wave alone.. There are unwritten rules, get used to it, PLEASE!
daniel cullen photography Jun 17, 2010 Rating: -2
'...surfer didn't see him...' So that makes it okay then... ??? Nah. Surfer's reponsibility to be aware and look.
CaptainGoodVibes-SuperPig Jun 17, 2010 Rating: -2
So touchy aren`t you lot? The surfer or body boarder (fuck me, even a body surfer)... Has the right of way. Whatever he`s looking at, his feet, his wanger or the camera. If your paddling up the face you are asking to be ran over. Ps.. Mark me down you pussies, cuz i am from the void and if i told you about zen -
Zac Gibson Jun 16, 2010 Rating: 0
ur key point their grandfield is that those guys are pros at pipe and have probably got a lot more skill than most people u cant just paddle up the face of a wave hoping the guy is a pro surfer and going to get out the way, not saying the guy surfing isnt completely blameless but tbh their both planks!
grandfield Jun 16, 2010 Rating: 0
CaptainGoodVibe - even though he may have the right of way, its the ultimately surfers responsibility to avoid a collision. Have you seen all the pro's in pipeline avoiding crowds duck-diving through the face ??? With your attitude, they would cut up to 20 people on a single wave ahahha.
Zac Gibson Jun 16, 2010 Rating: -1
u got the sequence, wud be interestin to see?
phil g Jun 16, 2010 Rating: 2
surfer is outrunning the pocket, gunning it straight for the shoulder. could of easily avoided the guy and not compromised his ride. hard to tell who is in the wrong, sometimes shit just happens. sucks for both though. paddler's leg is hurting, and the surfer probably feels like an ass. in any case, we've all been in the way before, and had some waves ruined by people being in the way. mistakes happen, but it is never okay to run someone over.
Mikepike Jun 16, 2010 Rating: 2
All I'm going to say is that it takes two to tango. There are inevitably so many variables contributing to such situations - rip, speed of wave, how fast the previous section broke, and so on... From my experience, such situations can usually be avoided if both parties involved play nicely. As stupid as the chap about to get sliced might have been to get into such a position, I'm sure matey on the wave could have also made some small adjustments to avoid the impending impact. Maybe the guy surfing aint that great, maybe he aint got too much control over his board... Who know's. Definatley takes two to tango though!
CaptainGoodVibes-SuperPig Jun 16, 2010 Rating: -8
Well said mate. The surfer should not have to check the shoulder for kooks paddling up the face. The surfer has the right of way, paddle in to the white-water/ impact zone but not the easy option. Sit on the beach is the best option for people like this.

Couldn't agree more - well said. I'm going to stop commenting on this now. Some of the comments up and down this page fill me with disgust. I was bought up with a certain defined ethic in the water, maybe Im just a bit old skool (although I must admit to still being in my 20's), but one thing you don't do is mess around with other peoples well being and health - all for a buzz. Too many local cracking spots I don't even surf now because of twats like matey on the surfboard in this provocative picture. PS - excuse the spelling, at work and really aint got time to give a damn. Big up good times to all the real surfers out there! The rest of you selfish arrogant single minded adrenalin junkies can go funk yourselves...
spengler arlington-brough Jun 17, 2010 Rating: 0
spot on mikepike, but some surfers are so up themselves that they wouldn't even consider bailing to avoid a collision. I've done it plenty of times. too much bravado and not enough compassion in the line up. sometimes makes me wonder if i ever got into trouble, would anyone help? or would it interfere with them getting a wave?
Mikepike Jun 17, 2010 Rating: 3
The photgrapher reckons all the surfer was interested in was posing for the camera instead of keeping his eye on the unravelling wave and situation in front of him! To sum it up - I would rather bail a wave than surf over someone, and you don't need to be that skilled to bail! I wonder - if the roles were reveresed in this picture, how polite would the surfer (previous duck diver) be towards the duck diver (previous surfer). We've all been caught on the outside from time to time, we've all had waves ruined by peps on the outside - get over it! Plenty more waves in the sea!

My memory for numbers has always been good. I know the phone number at the house we lived in for most of my childhood. Just now, I discovered that it is a working number in the 631 area code. I rang up to see who would answer, but the call was "forwarded to an automatic voice message system" and the number was "not available."
Everybody loses things, right? And we all misplace objects only to have them reappear when we stop looking for them. As you get older, you begin to wonder if such commonplace occurrences are due to age. But last weekend, when my pocketbook went missing, it seemed to be a different story.

Two Maple Issues..need advice...
I have a newly transplanted Autumn Blaze Maple in Whitefish, MT (Northwest Part of the State). It is approx 16 feet tall or so. Planted last summer. Was doing very well until I noticed two issues:
1) Small white spots on the bark last fall. Start a few feet above the ground and go up to midway up the trunk. White, dry and powdery. Almost thought they were bird droppings or insect larva or pods, but when I scrub at them, just seem to be white powdery substance. Bought an organic 3 in 1 fungus spray, hasn't seem to do much of anything. The spots don't seem to be doing any damage. Have lasted all winter and are still there, don't seem to have expanded, but it is still early in the spring season.
2) Just this spring, one limb has turned wet and black, and is secreting a sappy / watery liquid. No obvious wound. I have photos that I can send. Only thing I can find online that may be the issue is "slime flux". Looks awful and sap secretion has me worried. The rest of the tree is budding and seems fine...
Any clue?
Thanks in advance!
There's a major problem occurring with Acer x freemanii. It's occuring in every state of the US. The trees are falling to a pathogen/agent and wiping them out.
I'd need to do some research but hopefully someone on here can add the information, I'm describing.
Good luck, however, I don't think your tree is going to make it. Your tree is showing the signs I've read/heard about - before.

After the current mid-session recess, Parliament will re-convene on April 15, three days later than expected.
Apparently, the government decided to concede the demand from many members across party lines that Parliament remain close on April 13 and 14, being celebrated as Baisakhi (April 13) and Ambedkar Jayanti (April 14).
A statement from the Lok Sabha secretariat said that keeping this in view, sittings scheduled for April 13 and 14 have been cancelled.
A similar announcement has been made for the Rajya Sabha.

PF recommends a water rinse instead of an acid stop bath with TF-4
See: http://www.photoformulary.com/uploads/03-0141.pdf
However, you should be ok using an acid stop bath after the 510-Pyro if you follow the stop bath with a water rinse.
Clear Fix has sufficient pH buffering that you can go from 510 into an acid stop and then into the Clear Fix. IMHO, it's still a good idea to use a plain water rinse after the stop bath.

Cape Town - The Springboks could come up
against their arch-rivals, New Zealand, at the semi-final stage of the 2015
Rugby World Cup in England.
Monday's draw in London saw coach Heyneke Meyer's men drawn in a relatively easy pool
- where they will come up against Samoa and Scotland plus two qualifying teams
from Asia and the Americas.
However, while the South Africans should emerge unscathed from Pool B, they
will face tough hurdles to get to the showpiece match on October 31.
South Africa - provided they win Pool B - will face either Australia, England
or Wales in the quarter-finals after those three countries were drawn together
in Pool A's so-called
"pool of death".
Should the No 2-ranked Springboks reach the semi-final stage, they are likely to face defending
champions and current world No 1s, the All Blacks, who were drawn in Pool C alongside Argentina and
The All Blacks are likely to face France, Ireland or Italy in the quarter-finals.
The eighth edition of the Rugby World Cup will run
from September 18 to October 31, 2015, with the final to be played at
Pool A - Australia, England, Wales, Oceania 1, Repechage winner
Pool B - South Africa, Samoa, Scotland, Asia 1, Americas 2

When we signed up for the LAUNCH^ Conference, we weren't quite sure what to expect, but we knew we had plenty to learn. Our OKC-based organization recently started a local missions training program with similar aims (but on a much smaller scale) to Mission Year, and we are always looking for wisdom and insight on how to do things better.
One of the best parts of the conference was the opportunity to network with organizations around the country who shared similar goals and passions. We met with some amazing people who all shared the common bond of loving God and loving others.
The Mission Year staff were humble and transparent with their policies, struggles, and successes. No questions were off-limits. We gained so much by learning from their many years of experience, and we left encouraged.
We were very impressed with Mission Year's high value of diversity and the intentionality with which they pursue it. The core beliefs that we are more powerful together and that a diverse community challenges everyone to a higher understanding of themselves and God exhorted us to examine our own values on diversity and investigate ways to pursue it within our own structures.
We are very grateful for the LAUNCH^ Conference, the connections we made, and the information we learned. We are excited to continue to work and partner with organizations around the nation who share a similar vision of ushering in the Kingdom!

First Year Currant Dormancy?
Hello Everybody,
I grew some golden currants from seed, aureum var. gracillimum. They seemed fine until really recently.
They are about 8-9 months old, growing indoors in a perlite and a coco/peat blend. I believe I overwatered them, and this stunted them. So I transplanted them into a dryer mixture containing much more perlite. The roots looked, and continue to look white and healthy.
They lost their leaves, and became slightly woodier, but the main shoots/stems are still plump/greenish/living. I see small greenish brown (3-4 mm sized) buds set where the previous leaves had died out. But they've been in this state for a couple weeks now.
Are these things dormant, or dying? Did my overwatering shock them into dormancy? How do I bring these back? Or should I just be patient.
I am a little paranoid. I've never grown a variety of ribes from seed, so I am not quite sure what to expect. Thanks for everyone's time and input.
larry_gene, did you mean to type 'OUTdoor plants'? I'm not sure why the OP would have this plant inside as it is perfectly hardy and would be leafless and resting if it was outside now. Trying to keep a hardy shrub growing artificially all year round is not likely to promote its health. We don't know the OP's climate and I know nothing about very cold winters but my guess would be to keep this thing as cool as possible for the time being and harden it off to outdoor conditions asap come spring.
I did a bit of research on this 'California' native 'wild plant'. It grows wild in the canyons. That said, the plant should not be grown indoors at all. Yes, you can start the seeds indoors, but they seem to propagate by spreading their own seeds. From what I have read, this plant is related to Ribes, but is not a hybrid. Mrs. G
No problem. The above plants are likely behaving normally for a small deciduous shrub.
Thank you everybody for the input. Since my original post, the plants were gradually moved outside. They are leafless, but look healthy. They have a decent amount of healthy looking buds that I expect will grow out.
I started them indoors from seed and the reason they stayed indoors so long was for experimentation. I am a programmer and was testing homemade analog moisture sensors on drought tolerant plants, in a growing medium that isn't typically that conducive for good soil moisture sensor readings. The goal is to be able to grow them in a hydroponic rolling patio planter, and both remotely monitor and adjust watering via the internet.
Also, they really aren't as abundant resources insinuate they are. I decided to grow from seed so that I would have the cultivar that I wanted, and not the much less tasty but more common golden currant aureum aureum that nurseries more typically offer. The local native nurseries did not have the cultivar available or failed to get back to me.
