|As traditional sources of funding for media become harder to come by, many digital media purveyors are turning to a new source: crowdfunding. The fundraising method has gained traction in a diverse cross-section of the industry, from musical productions to news magazines. Using websites such as Indiegogo and Kickstarter, some media initiatives are far surpassing their fundraising goals on those platforms. Is crowdfunding a viable option for media projects to rely upon to meet their financial needs? This week, we'll chat with guests who have used crowdfunding to kickstart their own projects, as well as Indiegogo CEO Slava Rubin. We'll also have Ernst-Jan Pfauth of the news magazine De Correspondent; Todd Ruppert, co-producer of the upcoming musical "Happy Days"; and Zak Piper, co-producer of the documentary "Life Itself." They'll be joined by roundtable regulars Andrew Lih of American University and Monica Guzman of GeekWire and Seattle Times, with PBS MediaShift's Mark Glaser hosting.

|From Hearst to Warner Bros., many media giants are opening their doors to start-ups, creating incubators within their companies to develop media startups, or starting venture arms to invest in them. Many of these start-ups focus on content and advertising for digital environments. The relationship is symbiotic: while start-ups receive funding and a platform, traditional media companies gain an infusion of new ideas. This week, we're joined by Joe Anto of Digital First Ventures -- a venture capital firm housed inside of Media News Group and 21st Century Media -- Johnny Ryan of The Irish Times' Fusion incubator, and David Austin of Turner/WB's incubator, MediaCamp. We'll also be joined by our roundtable regulars American University's +Andrew Lih and +Monica Guzman from the Seattle Times and GeekWire. As usual, PBS MediaShift's +Mark Glaser will host.

|Though Twitter has never turned a profit in its seven years of existence, its public debut on Thursday valued the company at a whopping $31 billion dollars. Twitter's inaugural day on the New York Stock Exchange was met with much fanfare after a week of raising its share price, reflecting high demand for the social media's stock. Though the trading price was set at $26 per share Wednesday night, the shares began trading for $45.10 -- 73 percent higher than its initial asking price. But will the high last? We're joined by media strategist Sarah Evans and Reuters' Felix Salmon to discuss the initial public offering. In addition, we'll talk about eBay founder Pierre Omidyar's new brainchild: a digital media outlet that has already attracted the talent of the Guardian's Glenn Greenwald and Dan Froomkin, formerly of the Washington Post, among others. We'll chat about the typical challenges and decisions that a digital media outlet faces as it emerges. We're also joined by regular guests Monica Guzman of the Seattle Times and Geekwire, American University's Andrew Lih, and our host, MediaShift's Mark Glaser.

|As digital platforms become more complex, journalists no longer simply ask themselves how best to portray a story with words and pictures. The digital medium provides unique and dynamic opportunities for stories and data to come to life. Data visualization -- graphs, animations, interactives, and more -- is increasingly becoming one more tool in a journalist's storytelling kit. This week, we'll be joined by Len de Groot, the new director of data visualization at the Los Angeles Times, to discuss how media outlets are pushing the limits of visual storytelling. We'll also take a more philosophical turn on this episode and discuss the tricky issue of defining a journalist, especially in the context of penning shield laws that protect journalists from identifying their sources. To make sense of that debate, we'll be joined by MediaShift contributors Jonathan Peters and Josh Stearns. We'll also be joined by our regular panelist Andrew Lih of American University, new media consultant Sarah Evans, and our host Mark Glaser of MediaShift.

|+BuzzFeed is looking to expand beyond its reputation for cat pictures and rapid-fire, socially viral lists. This Monday, the site announced the creation of its own investigative reporting unit under the supervision of Mark Schoofs. Schoofs is most recently a senior editor at +ProPublica, a renowned non-profit investigative journalism organization. And BuzzFeed isn't the only digital native site that's embracing investigative reporting; this week, +The Huffington Post published a penetrating report on a network of juvenile detention centers riddled with abuse and mismanagement. For this episode of Mediatwits, we're joined by BuzzFeed's Mark Schoofs, as well as +Chris Kirkham, the reporter behind the Huffington Post report. We'll also be joined by Erle Norton, the new executive producer of ABC News Digital, to discuss how broadcast media are evolving in the increasingly digital news ecosystem, as well as ABC's partnership with +Yahoo News. Mediatwits roundtable regular and two-time host +Andrew Lih of American University will chime in as well, and +Mark Glaser is back from paternity leave to host.

|This week, streaming video giant Netflix became the first non-TV network to win an award at this year's Emmys with its slate of original programming headlined by "House of Cards." But after receiving 14 nominations, the final count of three statuettes in Netflix's collection underwhelmed many Emmys watchers. And streaming service has some serious headwinds, according to some accounts, as traditional cable looks for ways to strike back. Pay-TV companies such as Comcast are beginning to engage in a tug-of-war with Netflix for the binge-inclined viewer, with a possible Comcast-Fox deal in the works. Meanwhile, Amazon's new line of Kindles will include offline viewing capabilities -- a feature that promises to differentiate Amazon from streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu that require sound Internet connections. For this episode of the Mediatwits, we're joined by +Peter Kafka of AllThingsD and Dan Rayburn of StreamingMedia.com. MediaShift's +Mark Glaser will host, along with regulars +Andrew Lih of American University and +Monica Guzman of Geek Wire and Seattle Times.

|In the digital age, speed is key. So when an event is unfolding – say, the crowning of the new Miss America, or a mass shooting in the capital – online communities respond almost instantaneously. The media is never too far behind, often feeding off social media. This past Sunday, the Miss America Pageant crowned Nina Davuluri, its first winner of Indian descent. And while some corners of the Internet cheered, other netizens let loose a torrent of racist tweets, which were featured in a BuzzFeed post. The following day, Twitter and media outlets responded to the Washington Navy Yard shooting by disseminating a picture that turned out to be unrelated to the day's violence. Where should media outlets draw the line when publishing material from social media and anonymous comments? For this episode, our special guests include BuzzFeed's +Ryan Broderick Reddit general manager +Erik Martin and +Kelly McBride of Poynter. MediaShift's +Mark Glaser will host, along with regulars +Monica Guzman of Geekwire and Seattle Times, +Andrew Lih of American University and +Ana Marie Cox from the Guardian.

|This was not a stellar week for the tech media world. The Riptide project was an in-depth look by news pioneers at early efforts by traditional media to adapt to the rising tide of disruption -- and how they failed. The trio of researchers interviewed 61 people, many key players in the early days of the web, including Google's Eric Schmidt, AOL's Steve Case and Twitter's Dick Costolo. But the project was vilified for including 54 interviews of white men, with few people of color or female voices. It wasn't the only slight for women in tech: Business Insider CTO Pax Dickinson was fired for a stream of offensive tweets, while the TechCrunch Disrupt hackathon produced two inappropriate presentations, including for an app called TitStare. For this show, our special guests include two of Riptide's authors, Paul Sagan of Akamai and John Huey, formerly of Time Inc., as well as +Andrea Peterson tech policy blogger for the Washington Post's The Switch. MediaShift's +Mark Glaser will host, along with regulars +Monica Guzman of Geekwire and Seattle Times, +Andrew Lih of American University and +Ana Marie Cox from the Guardian.

|Maybe you've always had an idea for a book but were too daunted by the traditional gatekeepers of agents and publishers. Well now you can dust off the manuscript and get read to publish, because the growth of self-publishing services and social media makes it easier than ever to self-publish your book. But whether you self-publish or have a traditional book publisher, you'll need to do more marketing, more outreach, more organizing -- more of everything! Authors are really becoming entrepreneurs, needing to understand the business of book publishing more than ever (even if they never thought they'd need to know this). This week's Mediatwits talks to successful self-published authors as part of our "Authors as Entrepreneurs" special, including self-published author, expert and MediaShift contributor +Carla King and successful self-published authors +Darcie Chan and +Hugh Howey. MediaShift's +Mark Glaser hosts, along with +Monica Guzman from the Seattle Times and GeekWire and +Andrew Lih from American University.

|How can journalists fight the war on journalism, both in the U.S. and abroad? As governments hunt down whistleblowers, leakers and journalists alike, many reporters are worried they now work in a world that criminalizes their profession, calling this a "DEFCON 2 journalism event." Most recently, Chelsea (formerly known as Bradley) Manning, the source of the Wikileaks disclosures three years ago was sentenced to 35 years in prison, and David Miranda was detained in Heathrow airport for nine hours while helping his partner, the Guardian's Glenn Greenwald, obtain documents related to NSA spying. How worried should journalists be when reporting on political, international affairs or national security? What is the difference between leakers and journalists? How should journalists balance national security and the sanctity of the First Amendment? How should journalists work in the surveillance state and continue to report? This week's Mediatwits will feature Tow Center director and former Guardian editor +emily bell, NYU J-school professor and PressThink blogger +Jay Rosen and Free Press' +Josh Stearns. MediaShift's +Mark Glaser hosts, along with +Ana Marie Cox from The Guardian, +Monica Guzman from the Seattle Times and GeekWire and +Andrew Lih from American University.

|Digital disruption has changed the landscape of the media world, and journalism and communication schools need to figure out how to educate in a time of vast change. The schools themselves need to change too, or risk falling behind. As part of this week's special "Back to J-School 2013," in-depth report at MediaShift, this episode of the Mediatwits will talk to students and professors alike on the value of a journalism education, the future of education innovation and more. Special guests this week are +Howard Finberg creator of NewsU at the Poynter Institute; +Eva Avenue former editor-in-chief of the Daily Lobo at the University of New Mexico; and San Diego State University professor and Knight Center MOOC coordinator Amy Schmitz Weiss. MediaShift's +Mark Glaser hosts, along with +Andrew Lih from American University.

|It's a scary but exciting world for newspaper owners right now, especially if you're in a selling mood. Jeff Bezos, the founder and CEO of Amazon, bought the Washington Post last week (while our podcast was on vacation — great timing!), and Red Sox owner John Henry bought the Boston Globe before that. As newspapers continue to struggle to raise advertising or subscription revenue, will the journalism industry be aided or hindered when it's owned by billionaires? Special guests Nick Wingfield from the New York Times and Jack Shafer from Reuters join this week's episode of the Mediatwits. MediaShift's +Mark Glaser hosts, along with Mónica Guzmán from the Seattle Times and GeekWire, Ana Marie Cox from the Guardian and Andrew Lih from American University.

|Google Glass could have a transformative effect on journalism. But it's important to examine the shortfalls as well as all the great new advancements, both real and prophesied. Special guests +Tim Pool of Vice, +Robert Scoble of Rackspace, +Sarah Hill of Veterans United, +Jeff Jarvis of CUNY and +Robert Hernandez of USC will join our roundtable. They are all early adopters of Google Glass as well as social media and journalism experts, and will talk about their experiences with the device and what they see as its strengths and weaknesses for the future of journalism. MediaShift's +Mark Glaser hosts, along with +Ana Marie Cox from the Guardian and +Andrew Lih of American University.

|When a blogger or journalist furthers their personal brand within a newsroom, who benefits? The New York Times Nate Silver is moving his FiveThirtyEight empire to ESPN, the Washington Post is launching a tech policy blog, and the Times quietly killed its Media Decoder blog (which had no guiding personality). Which blogs work for which newsroom? How important is the blog chief's notoriety to the blog's success? The Daily Dish's +Andrew Sullivan, social media guru +sree sreenivasan of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Tim Lee of the Washington Post will join us for a discussion of big-name blogging's place in media organizations. MediaShift's +Mark Glaser hosts, along +Andrew Lih from American University and former paidContent editor Staci Kramer.

|Like most media, the future of television is online. This edition of the Mediatwits, we'll talk about the prospects for tech upstarts Apple, Google, Intel and Sony, who are trying to push their way into the lucrative TV and entertainment business. Apple is aiming to work with incumbent cable companies, while Google is working against them. Meanwhile, Netflix's original content has planted it on the same Emmy stage as major television networks and cable channels, winning 14 Emmy Award nominations. Plus, the winner of the bidding for buying Hulu was... Hulu? Hulu didn't sell itself in the end, probably because it's worth more than even the generous offers. Special guests +Tracy Swedlow from the TV of Tomorrow and +Brian Stelter of the NY Times will parse out the future of online TV viewing and the role of Silicon Valley in Hollywood. MediaShift's +Mark Glaser hosts, along with +Monica Guzman from the Seattle Times and GeekWire, and +Andrew Lih from American University.

|When news happens, where do you turn first? A recent Gallup poll says most people still turn to TV, but if you followed the recent airplane crash at SFO or the military coup in Egypt, you know the action was on social media. We'll discuss the role that social media plays in breaking news, how journalists are using social media, and what they can do better with special guests Vadim Lavrusik of Facebook and Yumi Wilson of LinkedIn. Next, we'll talk about the rise of The Guardian, a British newspaper that has pushed hard online into the U.S., and how its recent scoops with Edward Snowden over the NSA snooping have brought it head-to-head with NYTimes.com. MediaShift's Mark Glaser hosts, along with Andrew Lih from American University and former paidContent editor Staci Kramer.

|This week's episode focuses on the role of live coverage in the media ecosystem. When does it work? When does it not? How do you balance speed and accuracy? How does it pull in readers? We'll talk to some of the leading minds in breaking news journalism and how their live coverage has meant big bucks. First up, Texas Tribune's +Rodney Gibbs talks about live coverage of Wendy Davis's state senate filibuster. Then, we'll talk to Vox Media CEO +Jim Bankoff about the popularity of live-blogging on Vox sites. MediaShift's +Mark Glaser hosts, along with +Ana Marie Cox from the Guardian, +Monica Guzman from the Seattle Times and GeekWire, and +Andrew Lih from American University.

|Do you love photo and video sharing? Then this episode is for you. First, Facebook announced that popular photo sharing and filtering service Instagram will add video to compete with the popularity of Vine, owned by Twitter. Meanwhile, a photographer has sued BuzzFeed for just that kind of sharing, claiming $3.6 million in damages for using his photo of a soccer player -- and enabling sharing on other sites. We'll talk to copyright lawyer +Richard Stim of Nolo on the validity of the case and the role of copyright in digital journalism. Then, we'll talk to Northwestern University in Qatar's Dean Everette Dennis about his new study on media use in the Middle East, and the growing use of mobile phones for news there. MediaShift's +Mark Glaser hosts, with regulars +Ana Marie Cox from the Guardian, +Monica Guzman from the Seattle Times and GeekWire, and +Andrew Lih from American University.

|+Washington Post joined the 450 other daily U.S. newspapers with pay walls this week and also now offers "Sponsored Views" below its editorials. We'll talk to Forbes media columnist +Jeff Bercovici about the advantages and disadvantages of pay walls at the Post and beyond. We'll also talk to CNET's +Declan McCullagh on new developments in the ongoing controversy surrounding NSA collection of private data from Internet companies. Finally, the digital music industry is changing as Apple hopes its new iTunes Radio will compete with Pandora, which also hopes its new terrestrial radio station will help lower royalty rates. MediaShift's +Mark Glaser will host, along with regulars +Andrew Lih of USC Annenberg and +Monica Guzman of the Seattle Times and Geekwire.
|Mediatwits #83: Washington Post's 'Sponsored Views' and Pay Wall; Snowden Reveals Himself as PRISM Leaker
|2013-06-14 19:30:00
|Government snooping has been a recurring theme on our podcast, and this week the biggest revelation of all came out: The National Security Agency has had unfettered access to servers at Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube and Apple (but not Twitter) since 2007, according to an inside government source who was horrified by the collection of private data. The source shared a top secret presentation about the PRISM program with the Washington Post and Guardian. The tech companies so far have denied being involved, but government officials have defended the program as important to track terrorists abroad. Plus, photojournalists were up in arms when the Chicago Sun-Times fired its entire staff of 28 photojournalists in favor of reporters using iPhones and freelance photographers. We'll talk to UC Berkeley assistant professor Koci Hernandez, former photographer at the San Jose Mercury News, on the implications of this decision on the Sun-Times and on journalism as a whole. Then, we shift to the future of political reporting. While politicians are avoiding reporters and reaching out directly to constituents, Politico is expanding with new hires and new missions. We'll bring on former NPR Congressional Correspondent and DecodeDC founder Andrea Seabrook on the role of political journalists in the shifting digital age. MediaShift's Mark Glaser will host, along with regulars Ana Marie Cox from the Guardian, Andrew Lih from USC Annenberg and Monica Guzman of the Seattle Times and Geekwire.

|With Yahoo's $1.1 billion purchase of blogging platform Tumblr, this week's podcast will focus on the future of the two companies and how, or if, they'll survive the transition. Will Yahoo become the youthful information hub it struggles to be, and will Tumblr finally become profitable without alienating its users? Then, in the wake of the Justice Department's acquisition of AP phone records, newly revealed court documents show that DOJ investigated Fox News Chief Washington Correspondent James Rosen as a "co-conspirator" in a case against a State Department adviser accused of leaking classified information. We'll follow up on our conversation from last week on the balance between the First Amendment and the need to ensure national security. Finally, we'll chat with our special guest, Ben Huh of Cheezburger, on why cats dominate the Internet. The roundtable will be hosted by MediaShift's Mark Glaser, with regulars Ana Marie Cox from the Guardian, Mónica Guzmán from the Seattle Times and GeekWire, and Andrew Lih from USC.

|Who's snooping on whom? First came the news that Bloomberg reporters were using the company's terminals to find out when Federal officials were logging into the system. Then came the news that the Department of Justice was secretly obtaining phone records of up to 20 journalists at the AP. While both cases were not connected, they point to a blurring of boundaries in the digital age, when digital spying and cyber-security grow ever more important. Our special guest Brian Stelter of the New York Times will talk about how broadcast TV networks are struggling against cable, streaming competition and even upstart Aereo. And second special guest Joshua Johnson, a newscaster at San Francisco public radio station KQED, will rebut a survey from Stitcher showing that 57% of Americans believe AM/FM radio will fade away in five years. The roundtable will be hosted by Mark Glaser, with regulars Ana Marie Cox from the Guardian and Andrew Lih from USC.

|Have we reached the point of a Big Brother state online? It sure seems that way with the recent revelation that the FBI and Department of Justice routinely read private emails, Facebook messages and Twitter direct messages without a warrant -- flouting the Fourth Amendment. We'll discuss that and more on this week's episode of the Mediatwits, with special guest +Henry Jenkins professor at USC and co-author of "Spreadable Media," looking at how media spreads and why. We'll ask him why he hates the term "viral" media, and talk about his favorite fan-created media. There's also been a brouhaha about "open interviews," with Gittip founder +Chad Whitacre saying he will only do interviews streamed publicly online -- which led to TechCrunch refusing to participate. Should journalists do interviews in public? Our roundtable includes host +Mark Glaser, Seattle Times' +Monica Guzman, Guardian's +Ana Marie Cox and USC's +Andrew Lih.

|News and social media seem like two great tastes that go together. But lately, the two have been at loggerheads. After the @AP Twitter feed was hacked, Wall Street reacted as if the news was real. And during the Boston manhunt, it was hard to tell who was spreading more misinformation, social media or traditional broadcast and print news. On this week's podcast, we'll discuss the Twitter hack and what the microblogging service needs to do to stem security breaches. Our special guest +Yumi Wilson from LinkedIn will talk about how the professional social network can help journalists beyond finding jobs. Our roundtable will include +Mark Glaser moderating, along with Guardian's +Ana Marie Cox USC's +Andrew Lih and Seattle Times' +Monica Guzman. We'll also discuss the recent purchase of Instapaper by Betaworks, a startup that has now collected news-flow tools such as bit.ly, Social Flow, Digg and Chartbeat.

Our special guest is Gabriel Florit, who does data visualization for the Boston Globe and helped respond to cover the bombings. We also have regulars +Mark Glaser +Monica Guzman +Ana Marie Cox +Andrew Lih and +Felix Salmon.

|This week's Mediatwits podcast takes a walk on the dark side. We have our usual roundtable with +Mark Glaser moderating, along with Guardian's +Ana Marie Cox Seattle Times' +Monica Guzman USC's +Andrew Lih and Reuters' +Felix Salmon. Plus, special guest Amy Mitchell from Pew's Project for Excellence in Journalism will break down the massive State of the News Media report that was released last Monday. It's full of bad news for legacy media, but does offer some glimmers of hope for digital media, with the rise of native ads, mobile ads, video ads and targeted ads. Is the glass half full or empty. Plus, we'll discuss the strange case of +Matthew Keys indicted for allegedly providing passwords for Tribune Company servers for the Anonymous hackers who defaced the L.A. Times' site. Meanwhile, print pubs continue to struggle with the Boston Phoenix shutting down, and Washington Examiner and Daily Variety going weekly.

|This week's Mediatwits has a Southern flavor, with a preview of the coming South by Southwest confab in Austin, as well as a look at Facebook's latest rootin' tootin' revamp of its newsfeed and what it means for media folks. Our special guest is +Joshua Topolsky co-founder and editor-in-chief of The Verge, who will be down in Texas as a SXSW keynote questioner next Monday. Our roundtable also includes +Mark Glaser moderating, along with the Guardian's +Ana Marie Cox Seattle Times' +Monica Guzman and Reuters' +Felix Salmon. Other topics include the state of affairs for freelance writers, who often get paid less (or nothing) to write online.

I like this a lot. I have long lashes but so straight they almost point downward. Unless I curl them they're hard to see. But I dont like to curl anymore since my lashes are quite brittle and prone to falling out that way. I can forgo curling when I use this mascara and still have visible, long, thick lashes fanned out that stay that way. Maybe not the same curl as with a lash curler but its a more than adequate trade off. Also can use on lower lashes with no transfer/smudging nor flakes. I have very dry, sensitive eyes and experience no irritation. Given mascara must be tossed every few months this is a great cheap thrill that truly works. My only gripe is its really hard for me to find!

I heard so many great things about this mascara .My local walgreens didn't carry it ,so I ordered it from there website.
It truly is amazing it holds a curl all day and all I used was one coat.No flaking ,no nasty smell .I tried high end brands and never again.

After seeing the reviews here, i went to walgreens to buy this mascara. I was very pleased with the results after applying it. It makes my lashes very long and black. However, the volumizing effect was not the main thing i noticed when i used it. There is, indeed, some volumizing effect but nothing that amazed me a lot (hence the 4 lippies). I have used other mascaras with better volumizing effect, but i am still ok with the effect of this one. Another good thing about this mascara is that it holds the curl all day. I have naturally semi-curly lashes but i don't need to use a lash curler previously when using this mascara and after several hours i still see them curled up perfectly. It doesn't smear under the eyes much, which is a very good thing for not being a waterproof mascara. It doesn't get clumpy, unless you apply more than 2 coats with a generous amount, which isn't recommended with any mascara anyway. I am very happy with it, especially cause it is very inexpensive. It does a lot for its value and i even bought 2 backups a few days later. I recommend it!

Wow, this is excellent! So far I like all Jordana products but I am extremely picky about mascara. This did not clump, flake, and it held a curl. It definately defined as well. This is comparable to some high end brands that I have used. It was $2.99 at Walgreens and its THE BEST drugstore buy and a great beauty secret given the results compared to price. EXCELLENT product!

GREAT recommendation, MUA! Love this site! Anyway I purchased this based on the rave reviews and I was astounded. . . great, big, curled, LONG, defined, pitch-black, clump-free lashes AT LAST! I used to love the Chanel Instant Lash mascara and when that was discontinued, as good things usually are, I was left in a mascara void. I tried YSL, Dior, La Femme, L'Oreal, Lancome, all the usual suspects and was NEVER satisfied. This drugstore GEM is a steal, overdelivers and underpromises, and makes my lashes look WOW. I hope they don't discontinue this mascara OH PLEASE! Anyway try it out you will be thrilled!!

Would give it a 5 if it came in a dark brown or black/brown, I only have seen it sold in black, and I don't think black for mascara should be considered a basic shade, it's far too harsh for many people, black/brown would be better. Mascara itself is very good, it's both thickening and lengthening, gave me a false lash look with just one layer, seems to hold a curl well (I didn't have it on long enough to find out for sure), was easy to remove, and if it came in a shade I would actually be able to wear on daily basis it would be priceless to me.

I bought this mascara because of all the great reviews hoping it would work just as well on me. It looked good for the first minute after applying and then my eyelashes completely dropped and looked pin straight. Wasn't what I was looking for, I need a mascara that can hold a curl.

Alright, dammit. You got me, MUA. I was suckered into shelling out three big ones for this mascara, and I don't regret it one bit, nu-uh, no-how.
At first, I felt like I wasted money. I'm a huge CoverGirl Lashblast fan, and Jordana just seemed too thick and goopy compared to CG. Also, I like silicone brushes, and Jordana has the regular... other kind. Whatever that's called. Consequently, for a few weeks after I used it a couple times, Jordana sat collecting dust in my makeup basket.
Only recently did I decide to crack the tube open again and discover its powers. Since it seemed to dry up a bit, application has become a breeze, my lashes are volumized, lengthened and darkened without the initial overdone gloopiness. It's now probably my favorite mascara next to CG.
Unfortunately, though, the mascara can re-gloop or too much can get on the brush, so you have to be careful. Jordana's too good for its own good sometimes. Even the packaging is great- it's simplistic, and the tube is narrow and non-awkward.
All in all, this is an absolute gem for the price. I could seriously see myself not needing to buy any more expensive mascaras after trying this one. It's fantastic.

This is such a surprise find! Who knew that a $3 drugstore mascara could be so good?? I love the brush: it's dense but not obnoxiously huge like Lash Blast. I can get super dark lashes in just one coat, but I prefer to apply a second to build more volume. This is definitely a veryvery voluminous mascara and can easily be too good at what it does, so watch out when applying two or more coats. The only con I can see with this is that I started to notice an intense burning in my eyes when it starts to flake, which only happened when I've had my tube for a couple of months. Hopefully this problem can be fixed by buying new tubes, which is easy since it is so inexpensive! Would definitely recommend this!

Traveling by train with a camera bag. Station in Oakland is near Jack London Square.
Have also noted that one of Amtrak's trains no longer stop in Richmond CA at night due to crime concerns.
Sounds like one would need to put camera gear in regular luggage for concealment.

Far from being resigned to history books, gout is on the rise worldwide and in New Zealand – where we have the highest rate of gout in the world – Maori and Polynesian populations have a greatly elevated risk of experiencing the debilitating disease. Gout arises as a direct result of increased urate in the blood, and as such many studies worldwide have investigated gout, using serum urate levels as a proxy measure. Recently, two important genome-wide association studies were published – these compare the genomes of those with elevated serum urate to the genomes of control subjects and identify differences. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified upstream of MAF, a gene that had not before been associated with serum urate levels. These SNPs were in what is known as a non-protein-coding region, which often play an important role in gene regulation. MAF is a transcription factor that is expressed in the lens of the eye and immune cells, and many studies into MAF have focused on these aspects. However, MAF has also been shown to be expressed in the developing kidney (in zebrafish and mice), which is of great relevance in a study of gout. Therefore, it was hypothesised that one or more of the SNPs upstream of MAF alter regulation of the MAF gene in the kidney, resulting in a change in serum urate levels. An in silico analysis was carried out, using publicly available datasets to produce candidate causal variants upstream of the MAF gene. When multiple datasets were combined and meta-analysed, no specific candidates were produced – however, some SNPs approached significance. This is noteworthy in such a small sample set (n = 18,503, versus 71,149 and >140,000 in the GWAS analyses), and the analysis needs to be repeated on a larger scale. Based on ENCODE annotations, candidate SNPs were selected in areas that looked to be involved in regulation of gene expression. To investigate the putative cis-regulatory role of SNPs, reporter constructs were used in human cell lines. This enhancer assay indicated that one element acts to enhance gene expression, and that the SNPs within this element increased this effect. Finally, a chromosome conformation capture (3C) experiment aimed to determine the interactions occurring between the MAF promoter and these upstream regions, but unfortunately the results were inconclusive. This study contributes to a growing field of research investigating the effects of non-coding DNA on gene expression, in the context of an important disease affecting the lives of New Zealanders everyday. Future findings may provide a novel mechanism by which non-coding variants affect serum urate levels in a system that has not previously been characterised. 2015-11-11T04:39:39Z Mutant p53 and pro-inflammatory gene expression in colorectal cancer cells http://hdl.handle.net/10523/5956 Mutant p53 and pro-inflammatory gene expression in colorectal cancer cells 2015 Saha, Elora Konok p53 gene is the most commonly mutated gene in cancer, and in many malignancies a loss of p53 promotes cancer progression. However recent evidence has shown that missense mutations in p53, particularly those that lead to the protein acquiring abilities not seen in the wild-type form, may actually aid oncogenesis. These so-called 'gain of function' mutations are thought to upregulate many pro-inflammatory cytokines, which can enhance tumour growth, and inhibit other proteins, such as TP63 – which has been shown to have anti-oncogenic properties. The central question of this project is to establish whether gain-of-function mutations in p53 influence the expression of pro-inflammatory genes in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells. To address this question, shRNA constructs against MDM2 were generated to stablise mutant p53, which were then transfected into various CRC cell lines that either harboured a gain-of-function mutation, had wildtype p53, or were void of all p53. In addition, a puromycin-resistance gene was included allowing for the selection of positively transfected cells using puromycin. qPCR primer sets were also developed for measuring the expression of several selected chemokines once the CRC lines had been transfected. To assess the ability of mutant p53 to functionally interact with p63, I attempted to generate a puromycin-selectable p63 expression construct. Resulting data suggest that gain-of-function p53 mutations may indeed heighten expression of various chemokines. 2015-10-14T23:10:19Z Investigating the function of cis-regulatory elements for Runx1 http://hdl.handle.net/10523/5952 Investigating the function of cis-regulatory elements for Runx1 2015 Thomas, Amarni Detection of nucleotide sequence variations in patients of some diseases, provides strong evidence as to which genes and regulatory elements play a critical role in vivo. Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) is a fast acting blood cancer acquired in the myeloid lineage. It can be caused by a number of genetic mutations or chromosome translocations, many of which are prognostically informative. However, because the molecular events that lead to the development and pathology of this leukaemia have thus far not been completely defined, difficulties arise in providing prognoses to AML patients without well-known mutations. Although AML subtypes are highly variable, the outlook is poor, with the majority of patients dying from the disease. The developmental transcription factor RUNX1/AML1 is a well-known leukaemia-associated gene. Runx1 is an important regulator of haematopoiesis in vertebrates; it is crucial for early myeloid differentiation, and plays a vital role in adult blood development. Disruptions to the RUNX1 gene are frequently associated with AML. Despite the well-established role of RUNX1 in haematopoiesis and disease contribution, the cis-regulatory mechanisms that modulate RUNX1 require further elucidation. In cases where no mutation is found in the coding sequence, there may instead be mutations in regulatory sequence, for example conserved non protein-coding DNA elements (CNEs) that affect gene function. Several research groups have identified an intronic Runx1 enhancer in mice, Runx1 +24 mouse conserved non-coding element (mCNE). The discovery of +24 mCNE as a haemogenic endothelial cell-specific enhancer in mouse and zebrafish embryos provided an insight into a mechanism for the tissue-specific transcriptional regulation of Runx1. Ng et al., (2010) then used comparative genomics to identify ten further putative Runx1 cis-regulatory elements. In light of the identified +24 enhancer, this project set out to investigate the functions other mCNEs detected by Ng et al., (2010). From the ten putative mCNEs described by Ng et al., (2010), five were selected for further investigation, with +24 acting as a positive control (-368, -101, +58.5, +110, +110.5-2 mCNEs). To investigate the putative cis-regulatory role of previously identified mCNEs in vivo, reporter constructs were used in zebrafish embryos, as well as human and mice cell lines. These reporter constructs provided evidence that the selected mCNEs do not act as 'insulators', which block transcription. However, potential enhancer activity was observed in the zebrafish assays from four of the mCNEs (-368, -101, +110, +24). Cell-specific enhancer assays indicated that one of the mCNEs, +110, might act as a heart specific enhancer, while another (-368 mCNE) could represent a blood specific enhancer. Cell culture reporter assays confirmed the enhancer activity of the +24 and +110 mCNEs. Further studies are required to validate functional roles of the other mCNEs and their interaction with Runx1. This study has provided novel evidence that +110 mCNE may act as a heart specific enhancer of Runx1, and showed that none of the mCNEs act as insulators. Preliminary data from zebrafish in this project suggests that further analysis of the mCNEs will provide insight into the elaborate orchestration of Runx1 regulation, as well as elucidate the genetic roles of RUNX1 and cis-regulatory elements in AML development. 2015-10-14T19:42:55Z Oestrogen-dependent regulation of gene expression by cohesin in breast cancer http://hdl.handle.net/10523/5894 Oestrogen-dependent regulation of gene expression by cohesin in breast cancer 2015 Dasgupta, Tanushree Two-thirds of human breast carcinomas test positive for oestrogen receptor α (ERα), which predominantly mediates oestrogenic actions in the normal breast as well in breast tumour cells. Treatment of hormone-sensitive tumours has generally relied on anti-oestrogen therapy. However, ~30% of such tumours do not respond to hormone therapy, and a considerable proportion of tumours develop treatment resistance, ultimately leading to cancer recurrence. Therefore, understanding the regulatory mechanisms controlling tumour cell proliferation downstream of oestrogen is crucial for development of new treatment strategies. Oestrogen Receptors (ERs) function as part of multi-protein complexes, and the overall cellular response to oestrogen is dependent on cell type-specific functional partners. A previous study identified that ERα shares coincident chromatin binding with the cohesin protein complex in oestrogen-stimulated breast cancer cells. The overlap was striking at oestrogen-regulated genes. The genome-wide concordance in ERα and cohesin binding led to the hypothesis that cohesin facilitates oestrogen-dependent transcription. Following on from this, my research focused on investigating the transcriptional role of cohesin in ER-positive MCF7 breast cancer cells. Cohesin's role in ER-transcription was tested by cDNA microarray analysis of cohesin (RAD21)-depleted MCF7 cells. Microarray analysis revealed that cohesin (RAD21) depletion affected transcription of a subset of oestrogen-responsive genes, either activating or impeding transcription depending on the gene target. Oestrogen-responsive genes most significantly influenced by cohesin were over-represented in ErbB1 and PI3K/mTOR, pathways associated with breast cancer progression and survival. I then went on to investigate the mechanism of cohesin's divergent transcriptional control for two of the microarray-identified candidate genes. Oestrogen activation of SOX4 was robustly enhanced whereas expression of IL20 was significantly reduced in cohesin (RAD21)-depleted cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by quantitative PCR analyses revealed that RAD21 depletion enriched ERα binding to putative enhancers of SOX4, whereas ERα and RNA Polymerase II binding were weakened at the promoter of IL20, corresponding with the direction of expression of these genes. I next investigated if a cohesin inhibitor PCI-34051, which is predicted to target cohesin by blocking SMC3 deacetylation, was able to recapitulate transcriptional dysregulations observed upon RAD21-mediated depletion of cohesin. Despite accumulation of acetylated-SMC3, oestrogen responsiveness of selected cohesin-dependent genes remained unaffected. This highlighted that chemical inhibition of SMC3 deacetylation was not comparable with RNAi-mediated depletion of RAD21. Rather, PCI-34051 treatment led to concentration-dependent cell cycle delay, suppression of cell proliferation and induction of cell death in MCF7 cells. Taken together, these studies have revealed that cohesin can both positively and negatively influence ER-dependent transcription in a gene-dependent manner. Since cohesin-dependent genes participate in breast cancer signalling networks, results from this study suggest that cohesin function might be important for ER-positive breast cancer. PCI-34051 was unable to target the oestrogen-specific transcriptional role of cohesin in MCF7 cells; however, PCI-34051 was significantly oncostatic. Thus, thorough functional characterisation in additional ER-positive model systems would be necessary before considering PCI-34051 as a potential anti-cancer agent for ER-positive breast cancers. 2015-09-24T01:40:51Z Bioinformatic Approaches to Analysing RRBS Data in the Context of Pre-eclampsia http://hdl.handle.net/10523/5831 Bioinformatic Approaches to Analysing RRBS Data in the Context of Pre-eclampsia 2015 Roberts, Hester Emily The placenta is a crucial element of human life. It sustains and enables the development from a small group of cells to a whole organism. The placenta is a unique organ that fulfils multiple roles, from delivery of oxygen and nutrients, to removal of waste products. During embryo implantation, the trophoblast cells on the outside of the blastula invade the maternal endometrium and contact maternal spiral arteries. These trophoblast cells extensively remodel the maternal spiral arteries, establishing a blood supply to the growing embryo. On occasion, elements of this process malfunction, resulting in placental pathology. Pre-eclampsia is a serious and unfortunately common disease that arises only during pregnancy. The main clinical hallmarks of pre-eclampsia are the new onset of maternal hypertension, and proteinuria. These symptoms arise only in the second half of pregnancy, but the pathogenesis lies much earlier in pregnancy. Pre-eclamptic placentas display reduced invasion of the trophoblast, and restriction of maternal spiral arteries, in turn restricting blood flow to the fetus, and causing a hypoxic state. Epigenetic modifications in the placenta are distinct from those in any somatic tissue. Hypomethylation across the genome, and in particular at promoter regions, imprinted genes, and repetitive regions within the genome of placental cells appears to play a crucial role in the development of the placenta. Therefore, I have hypothesised that alterations to the methylation of placental cells may contribute to aberrant placentation. This thesis demonstrates the first use of Reduced Representation Bisulphite Sequencing to investigate genome-wide DNA methylation in pre-eclampsia/toxaemia. In the course of this investigation, significant progress has been achieved in our understanding of data from Reduced Representation Bisulphite Sequencing, contributing to the bioinformatic and biostatistic pipeline for the analysis of this data. A large number of CpG sites have been identified in a matched cohort of pre-eclamptic placentas to show differential methylation when compared to a cohort of control placentas. The majority of these sites display hypomethylation in pre-eclamptic placentas, and globally, CpG sites from pre-eclamptic placentas show 2% less methylation than their control counterparts. In addition, an investigation has been undertaken into the methylation status of two genes that have shown evidence of differential methylation. This particular study was undertaken in human blood to establish a baseline of normal methylation in a normal, accessible, and well phenotypes tissue. These results will contribute towards our understanding of DNA methylation in both normal and diseased states, with particular emphasis on the role that methylation plays in placental development. 2015-08-14T00:09:46Z Adoptive Cell Therapy using CD4 T Helper 1-like and CD8 Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes in a Mouse Model of Melanoma http://hdl.handle.net/10523/5792 Adoptive Cell Therapy using CD4 T Helper 1-like and CD8 Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes in a Mouse Model of Melanoma 2015 Li, Kunyu Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) with tumour-reactive T cells has been shown to be one of the most effective cancer treatments. However, there are many consensus questions that need to be answered so that ACT can deliver a more effective cancer treatment. By using a murine model of melanoma, we attempt to elucidate several strategies to augment the anti-tumour responses mediated by ACT. The traditional ACT focuses only on using the classical killer cell - CD8 cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL). CD4 T helper (Th) cells have been gradually shown to be crucial for enhancing CD8 CTL response and inducing complete tumour regression. However, the difficulties in obtaining adequate numbers of CD4 Th cells with desired phenotype through in vitro expansion limits the application of CD4 Th cells in ACT. By using mice with transgenic CD4 Th cells, the methodology for antigen-specific expansion of murine CD4 Th1-like cells in tissue culture has been optimised in this study. This optimal cell expansion utilises 1 ng/ml IL-2 and 5 ng/ml IL-7 and the CD4 Th cells were cultured in advanced-DMEM/F12 medium. Greater than 10,000 fold expansion can be generated in 20-day period with this method; and the majority of these cells were found to express an early effector cell phenotype as CD27+/CD28+/CD44+/CD62L-/IL-7Rg+/PD-1-/CTLA-4-. These CD4 Th1-like cells were not generated under the Th1 polarised conditions, but expressed multiple Th1- cytokines and Th cell transcriptional factors. Cytolytic activity was also identified in these CD4 Th1-like cells, suggesting they may be a unique subset of cytotoxic Th cells. These CD4 Th1-like cells were found to be able to persist in the lymph nodes and spleen of the naïve recipient mice and remained functionally active for at least 30 days, without challenge with the target antigen. In addition, both in vitro expanded CD4 and CD8 CTL were able to persist for at least 150 days in mice challenged with subcutaneous tumours that expressed the target antigens To investigate the factors associated with the efficacy of ACT, a series of ACT with these in vitro expanded CD4 Th1-like and CD8 CTL, with or without Dacarbazine and VLP-OVA vaccine treatments, was performed in a subcutaneous mouse model of melanoma. The VLP-OVA vaccine is derived from Rabbit Haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) Virus-like particles that express Ovalbumin. By themselves, CD4 Th1-like cells were not as good as CD8 CTL in controlling tumour growth. However, co-transfer of CD4 Th1-like cells and CD8 CTL significantly enhanced tumour regression, leading to complete cure in 80% of the mice. A combination of ACT and VLP-OVA vaccine treatment induced similar anti-tumour response to the primary B16-OVA tumour challenge. However, this combination treatments enhanced memory and endogenous immune response to tumour re-challenge with a mixture of B16-OVA and B16-gp33 cells. Addition of the Dacarbazine treatment to the ACT did not enhance immune response to the primary B16-OVA tumour or the generation of an endogenous immune response to the tumour re-challenge with B16-gp33 cells. However, DTIC was found to synergise with VLP-OVA vaccine to delay the growth of B16-OVA tumour. These data clearly demonstrate the ability of these in vitro expanded CD4 Th1-like cells in enhancing tumour regression mediated by CD8 CTL, and inducing durable memory response to tumour recurrence. Therefore cancer immunotherapies that include targeting of CD4 Th1-like cells are promising for inducing complete, durable anti-tumour rejection. 2015-07-09T21:00:52Z DISC1 in Psychiatric Illness http://hdl.handle.net/10523/5760 DISC1 in Psychiatric Illness 2015 Debono, Rebecca Major psychiatric illnesses including bipolar disorder and schizophrenia can be highly debilitating and collectively have a lifetime incidence of approximately 1% in the general population. Twin and adoption studies have shown that there is a definite hereditary element to these disorders, estimated to be as high as 80% in some cases. Although there has been extensive research into these disorders from both pathological and genetic viewpoints, they are still poorly understood,and treatment of these disorders remains challenging. The Disrupted-in-Schizophrenia 1 (DISC1) locus on human chromosome 1 was identified as a consequence of its involvement in a balanced translocation (1;11)(q42.1;q14.3) segregating with major psychiatric illnesses in a single Scottish family. Since its discovery, the DISC1 gene has been the subject of numerous genetic and biological studies. However, due to original evidence showing that the chromosome 11 region disrupted by this translocation was largely absent of genes, the 11q14.3 region has not gained as much attention. Only recently has it been suggested that this region may also be of interest with a possible ability to create fusion proteins with DISC1. The DISC1 and 11q14.3 regions were examined by analysis of genome-wide scan data made available by the Genetic Association Information Network (GAIN) and other investigators (non-GAIN) through dbGap for association with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and a combination of the two disorders. No single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the DISC1 region were found to be significant (p-value<0.05) after correction for multiple testing in any of the datasets tested. There was evidence, however, supporting an association with schizophrenia for a group of SNPs in the 11q14.3 region in males with corrected p-valuesreaching 0.024. The molecular function of DISC1 was also assessed via a yeast two-hybrid screen using DISC1 as a bait. This analysis revealed 386 potential interacting partners of DISC1 of which only 13 had been reported previously. Gene set enrichment analysis of these data, combined with the published DISC1 interaction data and a further set of unpublished interactants, lead to an hypothesis of DISC1 having an additional function in the construction and maintenance of the primary cilium. Genetic interaction between a selection of SNPs in the genes that lead to this hypothesis and DISC1 by logistic regression analysis showed some evidence for interaction between DISC1 and TRAF3IP1, SYNE1 and FEZ2 at a genetic level (uncorrected significance only). The role of DISC1 in major psychiatric illness is not conclusive, with the most convincing evidence for genetic involvement to date coming from the translocation in the original Scottish family. DISC1 has suggested roles in brain development and there have been suggestive associations through linkage and association analyses for a role in psychiatric illness; however, the role of DISC1 as a strong candidate contributing to major psychiatric illness needs to be reconsidered as after extensive analyses the evidence remains anecdotal. 2015-07-02T01:51:19Z The natural history of autoimmune disorders in mice and its modification by therapy http://hdl.handle.net/10523/5713 The natural history of autoimmune disorders in mice and its modification by therapy 1964 Casey, Thomas Patrick The main aim of this thesis is to study from a clinicopathological aspect the pattern of development and the nature of lesions, particularly renal ones, in NZB/BL X NZW hybrid mice. Groups of these mice were assessed clinically, weighed regularly and had frequent examinations of urine during life for protein, casts and sugar. Blood examinations for the L.E. cell test, anaemia, total leucocyte counts, as well as direct Coombs tests and some Latex antinucleoprotein tests were performed and some studies made on blood urea levels. Full postmortem examinations were made with histological examinations, especially of kidneys and thymus, but also of liver, spleen, lymph nodes, bone marrow, pituitary, adrenal, thyroid and salivary glands, the postmortems being carried out at intervals to cover the life span of the crossbreed. The post-mortem renal findings were correlated with the features observed during life. Similar observations were made on smaller numbers of the parent NZB/BL and NZW inbred strains. At attempt was made to modify with corticosteroid therapy the disease seen in the hybrid mice. This was done in both sexes, in different age groups and at different dosage levels. The same parameters were measured as in the control untreated animals mentioned above. Corticosteroid therapy was also used to treat the NZB/BL mice with autoimmune haemolytic anaemia. Treatment of this strain with the antimetabolite drug 6-Mercaptopurine was also undertaken. [extract from Introduction] 3 volumes; illustrations; diagrams.

I am currently using a javascript redirect with a meta refresh in the <no script> tag to send visitors to the real board.
I know Google and maybe others do not like pages that redirect, so I want to use ModRewrite to redirect everyone except top bots to the real forum.
While I have a basic knowledge of ModRewrite, I'm not up to this. Any help is appreciated.
i see that you write perl scripts. i loaded shed loads of spider c-blocks into my database then wrote a script that checked if the visitor was a spider or not. depending on this check you can serve different content.
you can maintain a table of visitorips which you can purge say every half an hour.
i actually used this for logging purposes rather than serving different content but the principle is the same. i now have a system where i have visits and pageviews for both humans and spiders.
why not implement something like this in perl? just remember to update your spider list every now and then.

Very nice. I like to see Thranduil portrayed as a loving father.

Generator Hostel DublinDublin, Ireland
This place is awesome.
Clink78London, England
Just had a really random mix of people there. Most hostels have an age limit. We got to our room and there was a construction worker in his 40s who had been living there for 8 months. Also there were plenty of 50 to 60year olds in the hostel bar. Nothing against oldies but weird.
Amsterdam Hostel OrfeoAmsterdam, Netherlands
The 50 year old women in our room was a little weird. Most hostels have age limits. Also the facilities were a little run down.
