Airport tours – a glimpse behind the scenes
Bremen Airport offers an exciting airport tour every Sunday at 10.00 am, which is open to everybody (advance registration necessary – see below), and an airport tour for your group on an individually requested date.
Get to know Bremen Airport better during a professional guided tour spanning 1.5 to 2 hours, which offers you the unique opportunity to take a look behind the scenes and find out what usually remains a mystery to other people, even flight guests.
The meeting point for our guided tours is the information point (car park desk) in Terminal 1.
To begin with, the model of the airport will give you an overview of the total area of the approx. 340-hectare airport, runways, taxiways, aprons (parking spaces), hangars, lighting and more.
You will also be provided with interesting facts about the history of aviation in Bremen, which spans more than 100 years. After the ensuing security control (the same procedure you are familiar with from flying), you will set off on a roundtrip of the airport grounds and will experience up close, dependent on current air traffic, the procedure involved in take-off, landing, taxing, refueling, the "follow me" car, pushback of large aircraft and watch the airport fire brigade during an exercise.
Let yourself be entertained as we take you into the world of aviation and aerospace, in which Bremen plays a decisive role. Let yourself be surprised by the sheer amount of things you will find do not exist at any other European airport in this combination and/or concentration.
Your excursion at Bremen Airport will almost always be concluded by a visit to the Bremen Hall – an aviation and aerospace gallery.
We look forward to your visit!

Anyone feel *sad* to have pregnancy almost be over??
Everyone here seems so excited for it be over... And, I definitely can't wait to see my baby and also for my bf to get to really bond with her but I am feeling so sad (not all the time but randomly.. Like now lol) to almost have pregnancy be over! I'm sure it has a lot to do with it being my first and last (we are going to be living in San Diego and the cost of living in so high there that 2 kids -bf has previous daughter- is sooo expensive as it is) but I just can't believe in a month I won't feel her bouncing around in there... Or be this protective home for her. I was just looking at my first sonogram pictures from 11 weeks and I can't believe I am now almost 35 weeks! I could cry! A lot! Thought I am sure that is just hormones, too, lol. I definitely won't miss the backaches and other aches and pains but gosh.. Part of me hopes the next 4 weeks just creeps by.
Re: Anyone feel *sad* to have pregnancy almost be over??
If we were for sure set that he was our last I would definitely be sad! There is the possibility we will do 1 more so I think it takes the edge off lol :) It does make me sad, but so do the birthdays, first steps, going to school, etc...it's all really bittersweet!!!
Re: Anyone feel *sad* to have pregnancy almost be over??
I'm not one bit sad. Lol. Next pregnancy I won't be single and will probably have better moments but doing everything solo and so huge now mixed with my body not cooperating with me now.. I've had enough.
Re: Anyone feel *sad* to have pregnancy almost be over??
Hel! No I'm not sad. This pregnancy has been so hard from the hyperemesis in the first trimester to just feeling exhausted now and dealing with being painful when she moves.
I've come to the conclusion that I'm definitely not one who likes being pregnant. I'm so ready to meet my little girl and not be pregnant anymore.
I am not sad this time around, even though this is likely my last baby. However, with my first pregnancy, I was definitely sad to see the end of being pregnant and I was in no rush to get baby out! I relished those final weeks. With my second and now third pregnancies, I didn't get to enjoy the end much because I was busy taking care of my kid/s.
I will be sad one day. When she's like a month old and getting bigger. I'll sit and cry lol and when she goes to kindergarten I'll sit and sob and wish she was still in utero. :) however, I won't miss feeling like ***** all day long or the constant heartburn.
Re: Anyone feel *sad* to have pregnancy almost be over??
Well, I won't miss the constant pain in my hip and pelvis, I won't miss heartburn or constantly worrying if baby is ok in there. I won't miss lugging around the extra 60-70 pounds.
I will definitely miss being pregnant and the miracle of being pregnant. I LOVE that part. I love feeling her move, I love feeling like a walking miracle and having people smile knowingly at me (even though I'm a waddling blimp).
This is my last one, and I'm trying hard to cherish each moment.
This pregnancy has been rough on me so I've got mixed feelings about not being pregnant anymore. Part (a BIG part) is happy and excited for it to be over but then again, I know this is my last so that makes me sad. I am try to enjoy the little things (feeling baby move, hearing her heart at visits, being taken care of by DH ;) ) as they happen and ignore the yucky stuff.
Re: Anyone feel *sad* to have pregnancy almost be over??
I'll be a little sad! I am going to miss watching her movements from inside and flaunting my cute bump!
Re: Anyone feel *sad* to have pregnancy almost be over??
I am sure I would be sad if this was my last too! I am, however, NOT sad because I worry CONSTANTLY. I hate not being able to at least see her and have some control over her well being. The worrying gets worse the further along I am. I am counting the hours until she is in my arms so I can take care of her.
Yes and no.
I'm so glad it's over with. I'm ready to meet her, hold her, and all that. I'm ready to not be in pain. This pregnancy I've had diarrhea on and off, round ligament pain from about 8 weeks, sciatica pain since about 12 weeks, pelvic pain since about 16 weeks, Braxton hicks since about 19 weeks, cholestasis since 24 weeks, insomnia since about 30 weeks. I'm just done.
But then I'm sad it's over. This is our last and I did love being pregnant with my first 3. I'm just sad ill never feel another move inside me, I'll never get that joy of surprise to see what I made, and ill never have a pregnant belly again.
Re: Anyone feel *sad* to have pregnancy almost be over??
Honestly no, I am not sad at all! I am so ready for these next 26 to 40 days to pass FAST! Dealing with Braxton Hicks, pelvis and hip pain, sciatic nerve pain, insomnia, rib cage pain and constant peeing. This is most likely our last one and although I will miss feeling him move I'm ready to be done! It's so exhausting taking care of a toddler and being in pain 24/7.
Re: Anyone feel *sad* to have pregnancy almost be over??
Yes, I am in no rush. I will miss being pregnant. I am not sure if this is the last one or not, there are a lot of factors in play.
Re: Anyone feel *sad* to have pregnancy almost be over??
A little bit. I'm in no hurry for it to be over with. I mean I'm ready to meet her NEXT month, but I don't want her to come too early and I still have SO much to do. Plus I WILL miss having her all to myself. I will miss her rolls and kicks and flips. I will miss my growing belly and the way my hubby looks at me while rubbing on the belly ;)
Re: Anyone feel *sad* to have pregnancy almost be over??
ME!! I'm having severe anxiety about this pregnancy being over. I'm not the least bit worried about taking care of baby, or how he'll fit it and we'll adjust. My anxiety stems from I don't want to share him! So many people already love our little guy, he's often referred to as "my baby" even if he's not related ;-) and the thoughts of 300 people wanting to hold him makes me cringe. I LOVE when my husband lays on my belly in the morning/at night and our little one kicks and wiggles for him. I love the bumps and wiggles and thumps I feel often. This pregnancy has been alot rougher than either of my others but man, I'm going to be sad it's over.
I'll be excited to finally see him/hold him but at the same time, sad because it'll be the last time I ever welcome a new little guy into our family who came from both my husband and me. sigh.
Re: Anyone feel *sad* to have pregnancy almost be over??
Right now the overwhelming yearning to meet her and have daddy and brothers meet her is overshadowing any sadness. I'm anxious and excited more than everything. This stage of pregnancy is hard and thrilling for a control freak like me because I have no control over when she chooses to come and I want her here so badly.
Since this is my last pregnancy I'm sure there will come a time when I get a bit nostalgic or sad. I'm still pretty young so I have plenty of friends and family members who will be pregnant in the future and that may briefly make me want to experience pregnancy again, but I'm sure it will pass. I love being a parent and am sure I will be busy busy busy enjoying my husband and three kids- such a blessing!
Re: Anyone feel *sad* to have pregnancy almost be over??
I'm mixed. I'm so anxious to meet the little guy but it's nice having this down time before he arrives.
Re: Anyone feel *sad* to have pregnancy almost be over??
I have my moments. On one hand, yes I am uncomfortable and can't wait to meet this little one, but on the other hand, if this is my last I will definitely miss being pregnant and feeling a baby move around inside of me.
Re: Anyone feel *sad* to have pregnancy almost be over??
I'm anxious to meet the little one, but at the same time, I feel a bit sad. This is our last baby, and it makes me sad to think that I won't be pregnant again.
Re: Anyone feel *sad* to have pregnancy almost be over??
Ya... Sometimes I feel so excited to be with her! I imagine holding her and snuggling with her. And it does make me really excited to have my bf get to hold her! I can't wait for them to bond... But then I have times where I am just sitting or laying and feeling her roll and kick and I feel sad thinking I won't feel that again, and its such am amazing precious feeling.

REEDVILLE, Virginia (Reuters) - It doesn't look like a disaster area.
Crab boats dart back and forth on this inlet of the Chesapeake Bay as they have for generations. On the shore, million-dollar vacation homes catch the morning sun.
But watermen aren't pulling blue crabs out of the Bay this winter. After years of decline, the U.S. Commerce Department declared the fishery a federal disaster last September and Maryland and Virginia shut it down until spring.
It was a symbolic as well as an economic blow for the men who harvest the region's defining culinary treat.
Watermen faced a stark choice: Stay ashore until March, or take a state job pulling abandoned crab traps and other junk from the bottom of the Bay.
So on this frigid winter morning, Spencer Headley is on cleanup duty, a floating janitor on one of the country's most intractably polluted bodies of water.
It's decent money -- $300 a day plus expenses -- and you can't beat those government hours. But Headley, 32, wonders why he must now rely on the state rather than the water for his livelihood.
"We're not trying to tear the Bay up. We're just trying to make a living off a fishery that's been going for more than 100 years," he says, one eye on his sonar display.
"Why all of a sudden is it a disaster?"
That disaster has been steadily building since Europeans first mapped the Bay's shores 400 years ago.
Stretching roughly 200 miles from northern Maryland to southern Virginia, the Chesapeake is the largest estuary in the United States and for hundreds of years was one of its most productive fisheries, yielding shad, sturgeon, oysters and baitfish. As recently as 1993, the Bay accounted for about half of the country's blue crab harvest.
But the fishery has declined as the region has boomed. Roughly 16.6 million people live in its watershed, which stretches as far as upstate New York, and an average of 439 more move to the region each day. That means more houses and more traffic as urban sprawl eats up forests and farmland.
The impact of this growth can be seen along Sligo Creek, which draws herons and foxes to its banks as it winds through the densely packed suburbs northeast of Washington, D.C.
Along the way, the creek picks up a steady stream of pollutants: lawn fertilizer, pet feces, motor oil and silt, washing off the parking lots and other hard surfaces that cover 35 percent of its 12-square-mile watershed.
Local activist Bruce Sidwell points out a sewer line that runs across the creek, exposed by years of erosion. It could be leaking raw sewage before long.
Sidwell's grass-roots group reports polluters and organizes litter pickups, and he's eager to showcase the filtering pools that help clean the creek's upper reaches.
But water quality remains poor and is not likely to improve without substantial changes in the landscape, Sidwell says.
"It would take quite an effort to get it up to 'fair' water quality," he says.
On its journey to the Chesapeake, water from Sligo Creek mingles with runoff from farms and sewage treatment plans.
Nitrogen and phosphorus in that runoff feed massive algae blooms that suck oxygen out of the water each summer, killing clams and worms that provide the blue crab with food and aquatic grasses that give it shelter.
Last year, the "dead zone" covered 40 percent of the Bay.
Not surprisingly, crabs have suffered. The 2007 catch was the worst in recorded history, and last year the catch was even worse in Virginia and only slightly better in Maryland.
With fewer crabs in the Bay, watermen now routinely catch far more than the 46 percent that scientists say is the upper limit to maintain a healthy population.
Observers say time is running out to reverse the damage.
"The Bay is now degraded to the point that its basic ability to withstand even low levels of pollution is in jeopardy," said Naval Academy professor Howard Ernst, an expert on the restoration effort.
A 25-year, $6 billion cleanup effort by state governments and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has come under widespread criticism as it has repeatedly fallen short of its stated goals. Officials also overstated their success to keep funding in place.
The Chesapeake Bay Foundation, an environmental group, sued the EPA last month to force it to set a firm cap on pollutants. The group is heartened that new EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson has promised to make the Bay cleanup a priority.
"We certainly are hearing the right words," said foundation president Will Baker. "But to be honest, we have heard those words for 30, 35 years and what we need to see is action."
Headley has seen the changes up close. He's pulled up traps filled with dead crabs, suffocated in oxygen-depleted water. He's seen the state reduce the number of traps he's allowed to drop in the water from 500 to 350.
And he's seen mansions sprout along the shoreline, their lawns fertilized with the very chemicals that are choking the Bay. "Grass as green as you've ever seen in your life, looks like it's painted on," he says.
Easing his 46-foot (14 meter) Chesapeake Bay Deadrise back to the dock, Headley passes rusted shacks and crumbling chimneys, the ruins of once-thriving oyster and baitfish industries.
The crab fishery, too, is a shadow of its former self, employing 40 percent fewer jobs than it did a decade ago.
There are only a handful of crabbers working out of Reedville now, Headley says, but plenty of people are moving to town to enjoy the scenery.
Headley knows everybody on the water, but sometimes when he comes ashore he doesn't recognize a soul. A way of life is dying.

The government is looking into changing the way property authorised investment funds (PAIFs) and contractural schemes (CoACSs) are treated for stamp duty land tax (SDLT) purposes.
The consultation, Stamp Duty Land Tax: Rules for property investment funds seeks evidence from the asset management, property sectors and all other interested parties.
It finishes on 12 September and is also looking for input on the potential design of the changes.
The government's suggestion is to introduce seeding relief for PAIFs, in addition to discussing how to make CoACSs more suitable for investment in property by changing its SDLT treatment.
The consultation was announced in the Budget 2014, after requests to change the way SDLT applies to both PAIFS and CoACSs.
"Stakeholders suggest that relieving SDLT in certain circumstances could encourage more property funds to set up in the UK and facilitate greater collective investment in UK property," the announcement reads.

I met Laura Marie Marciano at a reading in an eminently Instagrammable and chic bookshop in Chicago. My partner noticed how taken I was with her work, and encouraged me to introduce myself. Marciano's work has a clarity of voice and vision to which we can all aspire to.
She read from her book, Mall Brat (Civil Coping Mechanisms Press, 2016), a collection of poems defined by its unflinching approach to sexuality and memory. Mall Brat's forward (framed as "From the author at fifteen") sets up the book brilliantly with details of a summer romance between the speaker at fifteen and a man six years her senior. The facts are excruciating to a reader aware of the power imbalance, begging for someone—anyone—to step in and save this child. Instead, Marciano forces the reader to inhabit the speaker's thought process at that age, and to remind us that our own was equally short-sighted and precarious:
"I was the type of girl who might be featured in some virgin porn, just a little bit plump, with a second day tan, and extreme insecurity—but, also, smart, because I had read a lot and I had an older brother."
As I read these poems, I find myself returning to a line from Dorothy Allison's book of essays, Skin: "I can write about years in a paragraph, but the years took years to pass." There is often a human desire, and a tendency in some poetry, to simplify the past and obscure it with language—to decide on a narrative that is easy to repeat with a few totemic details for emphasis. Marciano refuses a smooth rendition of the past and honors those years, reaching into their layers and maintaining eye contact "as i sink my hand deeper/into the barrel of stones."

How Much will that Turkey Dinner Cost You?
UNDATED (AP) — Turkey and all the trimmings will cost you a little less this year. But don't expect to save enough to buy a cup of coffee on the way to Black Friday sales.
The American Farm Bureau Federation says the average Thanksgiving dinner will cost $49.04, or 44 cents less than last year.
But if you're headed to grandma's you may be spending more. Airline and train ticket prices are up. However, gas costs about 25 cents less per gallon compared to a year ago. That's according to the AAA.

Cathy Peck: Master Gardener volunteers offer numerous learning opportunities in 2013
Beltrami County Master Gardeners will offer many opportunities to the community to learn about the joy and science of gardening.
As you can surmise, our weekly informational articles are returning in your local newspaper. Let us know if you find them helpful. Also returning will be monthly gardening information sessions on Chat About, KB-101, at about 12:30 p.m. on the second Monday of each month.
On April 13 the group will host its semiannual Garden Party with keynote speaker, University of Minnesota Climatologist Mark Seeley, headlining the event. Another University of Minnesota Extension Educator, Jackie Froemming, will speak on weekend gardening, and two women from Jean's Right Plant Place in Perham will do presentations on underused perennials and shade gardening. Watch for upcoming advertising, your mailbox for a brochure, or contact County Extension at 444-5722 to get information.
Beginning March 28 and continuing every two weeks through May 23, Master Gardeners will again be presenting a series of noontime gardening sessions at the Kitchigami Library Meeting Room. Topics covered will include growing sweet corn, growing raspberries, summer blooming bulbs, direct seeding annuals and perennials, and one on making sense of little-known gardening information. Watch for specific information and advertising about speakers, times and dates. These sessions are informal, free, and open to the public.
In early April, Master Gardeners will again offer another free service to the public. You can call our voice mail line to ask questions about your horticultural problems. We will try to solve your problem or direct you to a source of good, research-based information.
Beltrami County Master Gardeners will be speaking at workshops in other communities and may show up in unexpected places in our community just answering questions about our favorite summertime pursuit, growing vegetables, flowers, fruits, trees and shrubs. Master Gardeners have been known to answer questions in grocery stores, at sporting events, churches, in elevators, in bars, in public bathrooms – anyplace more than one person is gathered with a burning need to know why a plant is having problems or to brag about his/her biggest tomato.
In August, the group will again organize and man the horticultural area of the Beltrami County Fair. This is a great place to see the success of gardeners in our area or to show off your efforts in the competition for ribbons and prizes and fame! We may need help this year. Call us if you are interested.
If you have a suggestion about how we might educate the public about home horticulture, leave a message on our voice mail number at 444-7916. Our group numbers are reduced, limiting the extent that we can provide this all-volunteer service to the community. Should you be interested in learning more about this rewarding volunteer service, come to some of our events or contact us via e-mail to learn whether your latent horticultural passions could be quenched by becoming a Master Gardener in Minnesota.
Look for reliable horticulture information on the University of Minnesota Extension website at www.extension.umn.edu/gardeninfo, where there are many links to reliable information for those who live in our northern climate.

Interview: June 28, 2013
S. J. Bolton, an award-winning author of five books, delivers her most compelling novel to date, LOST, in which a fragile Lacey Flint must work with Barney, a courageous, lonely 11-year-old boy, to unmask a killer. In this interview with Bookreporter.com's Joe Hartlaub, Bolton opens up about the not-coincidental similarities between Barney and her own 11-year-old son (who even plays Barney in the book trailer), the inspiration for and evolution of the story, and why it's crucial --- when writing a mystery --- to be led by plot and not character. She also stresses the importance of following your instincts and pursuing whatever it is you're passionate about.
Bookreporter.com: Your new novel, LOST, begins shortly after the events in DEAD SCARED, in which London police detective Lacey Flint almost lost her life. Flint, who is still emotionally troubled, remains on leave and shows no particular inclination to return anytime soon. Meanwhile, a fiend is kidnapping and murdering young boys on the cusp of adolescence, holding London in a grip of fear. The only key to solving the murder may be possessed by Barney, an incredibly observant and intelligent young boy who lives next door to Lacey. I was fascinated by the manner in which you introduced Barney, whose personality is fully presented here down to the last nuance. Tell us more about him. Who is he? Did anyone inspire his character?
S. J. Bolton: I have an 11-year-old son who has a great deal in common with Barney in the story, especially when it comes to his little peculiarities. Barney's ability to see "patterns" in the world around him and the deviations in those patterns that enable him to find things that are lost is directly lifted from real life. And we have a four-leaf clover collection, a little wizened now, but definitely among our treasures. Writing the scenes with the children was one of the easiest parts of the story for me, because I spend so much time around children of that age.
Having said that, the inspiration behind LOST was much darker than my desire to immortalize my son. When I was growing up, a serial killer (The Yorkshire Ripper) was terrorizing the north of England, and I remember a news story about the number of women who'd suspected someone close to them of being the killer. I started wondering what it must be like to fear that someone you love is a monster. And how dreadful that would be if the person so afraid were a child.
My son also played Barney in the video trailer for the book. I'm not sure he enjoyed some of the things we asked him to do (pulling parcel tape off his mouth), but it was great for me to see the character coming to life, so exactly as I'd imagined him.
BRC: DEAD SCARED was one of my favorite books of 2012, and LOST is even better, though it is a much different book in every way. Lacey was a very active participant in DEAD SCARED; yet, as a result of what happened to her, the beginning of LOST finds her a virtual recluse until she is drawn, almost in spite of herself, out of her shell as events overtake her. Each of your books is quite different from the others, whether they are part of the Lacey Flint series or stand-alone novels. How do you meet the challenge of keeping your plots and themes new and fresh after having written several novels?
SJB: If I'm honest, it gets harder with each book. I have a theory that creative people have a "tank" that will inevitably empty after the first two or three books (paintings, songs, symphonies, etc.). It will replenish, but slowly, a little like a cistern, so without that massive resource to tap into, the process becomes much more labored.
I think the key is to read widely (fiction and reference) and always to change direction one book before it feels necessary. My current work in progress will probably be my last Lacey Flint book for a while. Not because I'm tired of her, but because I want to make sure I don't become so.
BRC: While LOST is most certainly a Lacey Flint book, Lacey shares the spotlight not only with Barney, but also with his friends, a "Little Rascals" type of group who are a part of the victim demographic of the murders that Lacey ultimately is drawn into investigating. Will we see more of Barney and/or any of his friends in future novels?
SJB: Not sure. I wrote them into my current work in progress, and really enjoyed having them back, if only for one short scene, but that scene didn't make it past my UK editor and her big red pen! I certainly wouldn't rule out bringing Barney back at some point, though. His ability to find lost things could come in very handy. What I am certain of is that I will write more books with children as the main characters, because I love the freedom I get from looking at the world through the eyes of a child.
BRC: One of my favorite elements of your books is the complexity of the mystery that forms the core of each book. What comes first for you: the development of the characters who are introduced in each book, or the idea behind the mystery? Or do they both evolve together?
SJB: I am very much a story-led writer. It's all about the plot for me, the more original, twistier and shocking the better, and I give very little thought, before I start writing, to the characters. Luckily, for me, they tend to write themselves, in the way they interact with each other and in their reactions to events. In my view, this leads to a more natural, believable result than forcing an already developed character into a given role does. I hate what I call "character bling," plastering on defining characteristics to make a character stand out. It always looks false and overdone.
BRC: On a related note, I really enjoy working out the mystery, or mysteries, you present as I get deeper into your books. This was particularly true of LOST, where you present a number of legitimate clues as well as a few false trails just to keep things interesting. How did the evolution of the mystery that forms the deep and dark core of the book come about?
SJB: My books usually need three core ideas before they take off in my head. In LOST, these were 1) small boy suspects his father is a serial killer, 2) the psychiatric condition of being obsessed with blood, including clinical vampirism, and 3) the multitude of ways in which someone can be "lost." Once I have this triplet of inspiration and can see the connection between the ideas, I know the story will work. After that, I just spin and weave until I'm done.
BRC: LOST gives us a very close view of Lacey's personal life, such as it is, including her neighborhood in London. Does this neighborhood actually exist in London? What is it modeled after?
SJB: Not only does the neighborhood exist, but Lacey's apartment does, too --- a friend of mine lives in it. She even has the infamous garden shed! Bless her, she can't read my books anymore, the experience just feels too close to home. London has been used as the backdrop to numerous novels, but southeast London is much less known than the districts north of the river, which is probably why it appealed to me.
BRC: How did you initially conceive of Lacey Flint? How much of S. J. Bolton is a part of her? Do you have any specific future plans for her, and if so, are things going to get better for her?
SJB: Lacey started out as a killer! One of my favorite literary devices is the unreliable narrator, and I get a real kick out of that moment when I can no longer trust what a protagonist of a story is telling me. With Lacey I wanted to see if I could write a book in which my first-person narrator was a) the killer and b) still very likable. Well, I couldn't, is the honest answer, but Lacey evolved as a very dark, cold, difficult-to-get-to-know character. If I've done my job properly, the reader should be intrigued by her and, if he or she stays with the series, should eventually grow to love her. I'm not sure yet how long she will be with me, or where we will go together, but all Lacey fans need to be clear: when she has her happy ending, when she and Joesbury sail off into the sunset, the series is over!
BRC: The series has been growing in popularity, yet you have written a number of successful stand-alone works as well. Do you have a preference for either series books or stand-alone works? What are the advantages and disadvantages of writing each?
SJB: I have a strong preference for stand-alones and am quite eager to get back to writing them. I like their completeness, and having confidence that all the information we need is right there and not dependent on a book that went before. I also believe that if characters have achieved their happy ending, we should leave them in peace to get on with it! On the other hand, characters come along occasionally who just demand more than one book. Lacey Flint was one such. I hope there will be another one day.
BRC: What has influenced or drawn you to write mystery and thriller fiction? Have you ever pictured yourself writing in another genre?
SJB: I did submit a couple of books to Mills and Boon at the start of my career but never had anything accepted. Those who know my work will probably think that a very good thing. I could have changed a much-loved brand beyond all recognition. Ultimately, I think you have to write the sort of books you love reading, and I've always loved dark, creepy mysteries with a bit of romantic suspense.
BRC: You have a family, and given that writing often takes place at home, life often gets in the way. What type of writing schedule do you keep? Is it the same as it was when you initially started writing? What methods do you use to adhere to your schedule when it seems to be all but impossible?
SJB: I write when my son is at school. It really is as simple as that. Sometimes (increasingly often actually) work spills over into school holidays, but I'm lucky in that my son is very active and sporty, and always wants to be out at tennis camp or similar. I imagine it will get easier as he gets older and wants to be out of the house more, but I really can't bring myself to look forward to those days!
BRC: We always enjoy knowing what books our favorite authors are reading. What have you read in the past six months that you would recommend to our readers?
SJB: Belinda Bauer's RUBBERNECKER and Gillian Flynn's GONE GIRL were both brilliantly dark, disturbing reads. I've also enjoyed Joanne Harris's PEACHES FOR MONSIEUR LE CURÉ and JK Rowling's THE CASUAL VACANCY.
BRC: Looking back on when you took your first steps toward becoming a published author, what do you think is the smartest thing you did? And what, if anything, would you do over, if you had the opportunity?
SJB: I wrote the book I wanted to write, in the face of many fears that it was always going to be a bit fantastic --- in the old-fashioned sense of the word --- to find a place for it in mainstream publishing. I also wrote it honestly, putting a huge amount of myself into it. I didn't cheat, and I didn't hold back. As to what I'd do over: I think I'd just do it all a lot sooner.
BRC: Most authors are also voracious readers, and most readers started their love affair with books at an early age. How did you come to love reading? Did someone read to you as a child? What were your favorite books?
SJB: I was born before electronic games and when even TV was rather poor. It was books or nothing. Enid Blyton was probably my first love, and I adored the classics growing up, especially the dark ones.
BRC: While writing is a jealous lover, many authors nonetheless have other vocational interests. What would you see yourself doing if you were not writing?
SJB: In a parallel universe, I think I'm a florist.
BRC: Have you discerned any differences between your British and American audiences? Do you find that a certain style or element works better with one group than with the other? If so, why do you believe that such a difference exists?
SJB: I do notice differences, but none that I can generalize about. For example, US audiences tend to be gentler, more inclined to object to overt violence, especially when directed against children. They object more to issues such as animal cruelty and pregnancy termination. On the other hand, some of the grittiest, most violent drama we enjoy in the UK comes from the US. I'm still puzzling it out.
BRC: Even though LOST was just published in the United States, we're always looking ahead. What can you tell us about your next book, and/or what you are working on now?
SJB: Another Lacey Flint story, but probably the last for a while. She's bought her first home: a 40-foot yacht moored at an almost derelict marina on a Thames tributary, and is feeling oddly at home in the weird and wonderful riverside community she has found herself among. At dawn one morning, she finds the shrouded corpse of a young woman in the river. She puts it down to chance --- she works for the marine policing unit. It isn't, of course; it was left for her to find. Oh, and one of the characters is a mermaid.

JUST IN: The Green Light with FGR fan John Light
3:55pm Tuesday 25th February 2014
By John Light
3:55pm Tuesday 25th February 2014
By John Light
"Scrappy – dogged". Right on both counts. That was how manager Ady Pennock described the 3-1 victory over Southport.
A third word was missing from the interview – chuffed, it did not need to be said. The manager's cheerful, relaxed manner said it all.
Thanks to the enterprise of this newspaper, and Stroud News and Journal Ash in particular a post match video interview is available for all to see. Hearty congratulations to all concerned.
No wonder the manager is pleased. Four points from two games, gathered after a long lay-off maintain the Pennock record of two points per league game. Look at the league table, do a simple sum and add on an extra point for outstanding goal difference and you can see how well placed we are. I am happy to let you draw your own conclusions!
There were signs of rustiness at both Aldershot and at home on Saturday.
Southport could and should have scored, such was the dominance they displayed in the first 10 minutes, but Bennett and Russell stood firm. Sam's anticipation reflexes and sure handling and Dale's ability to sense danger and then snuff it out gave Rovers the foundation to build and how well they did so.
Using the width of the field to attack Rovers began to cause Southport problems. Danny Wright scored twice and could have added two more and for the last half hour of the first half Rovers showed us how to play the Pennock way.
The ball was moved quickly forward or quickly wide and the opposition were stretched.
James Norwood deserves special praise providing the assists. Delivering three splendid crosses, quickly and accurately James created all the goals. He is now looking very much a complete footballer. He has been working hard at his game and the results are there for all to see. He was my man-of- the-match – just!
The award could easily have gone to Danny Wright who thrilled us all by returning to scoring form. His work rate has never slacked during his lean period. He is a true team man; of course there are plaudits for Lee Hughes. His work, on or off the ball is intelligent and positive. This was obvious because in the second half we were not the same team without him. Happily he is confident about being available for Tuesday. We must all hope he is right.
Strangely when Lee was substituted his replacement was not one of the strikers, Viera or Walker, but Yan Klukowski.
Initially Yan played right midfield with Nors moving forward to partner Wright, but halfway through the second half they changed places with Nors back on the right. This worked. Another fine pass from captain Barry found Norwood unmarked a quick cross found Yan doing what he is best at – being in the right place and victory was assured.
With our own Gareth Malone back in the EESI stand vocal joy was unconfined. Welcome back Mike B. We have not always agreed but I have missed you.
There are some concerns however. Left back remains a problem. Willing though Jared is he did not have the best games and Southport always found room to attack down the right.
There may be the need to return Jamie Turley to the back four. He never let us down at right back making surging attacking runs down the touch line. To have him not included in the match day squad indicates the manager's faith in his other defenders. It is the only area I would dare to presume to question him.
For eighteen years Mrs Light and I were Barnet season ticket holders.
Barry Fry, Mad Dog Allen, Allan Mullery, Tony Cottee and John Still were among our managers.
Tony Kleanthous was a fine chairman and we loved it. That loyalty vanished the minute I entered the Old Lawn.
Much as the visit from my London favourites has been anticipated there is only one result that will please me, Barnet play with one striker and a diamond shaped midfield, similar to the entertaining Harvey days when Clist, Beesley and Fleetwood entertained us so.
It will be an interesting game and far from easy, just like the visit to Gateshead.
Drawing both matches will not be a disaster, but let us hope our friends on the supporters club away weekend will have much more to celebrate.
Kelly extending his stay is just a start. Congratulations to the parrot end this column. Those at the match know what I mean. The rest of you would not believe it.

SABMiller's $10-billion bid for Foster's rejected
Australian beer giant Foster's on Tuesday rejected an initial $9.51-billion (Australian dollars, equivalent to about US$10-billion) takeover bid from SABMiller, but the global brewer said it would still pursue the group.
Foster's said it had received an unsolicited, incomplete, non-binding and conditional proposal from SABMiller for all of its stock at $4.90 per share.
The offer represented an 8.2% premium on Monday's closing price but is below the firm's $5.14 finish on Tuesday as it surged 13.47% on the prospect of a sweetened offer or a rival bid.
"The board of Foster's believes that the proposal significantly undervalues the company in the context of a change of control and, as such, it does not intend to take any further action in relation to it," it said in a statement.
Foster's, which owns Australia's largest brewer Carlton and United Breweries, recently split its beer division from the underperforming wine assets which had suffered because of a grape glut and soaring local dollar.
The prospect of a takeover of Foster's, one of Australia's best known brands, had been anticipated since the demerger and the move follows consolidation within the Australian beverage industry.
SABMiller said the proposal to buy the Australian company was in line with it strategy to create a global spread of businesses and it would continue to pursue discussions with Foster's.
It said Australia had a strong, wealthy and growing economy, was well positioned to benefit from continued economic growth in Asia, and had a profitable beer market in which Foster's was the leading brewer.
"SABMiller can conclude a transaction quickly and will continue to seek engagement with the board of Foster's to put an agreed proposal to Foster's shareholders," chief executive Graham Mackay said in a statement.
He said the company had a proven track record of acquiring and integrating brewing companies and it aimed to strengthen the Foster's brand.
The Australian company has been battling intense competition in the beer industry, affecting its flagship brands VB, Crown and Carlton Draught. Foster's estimated the domestic beer market shrank 7% in the second half of 2010.
SABMiller is one of the world's largest brewers and its brands include Peroni Nastro Azzurro, Miller Genuine Draft and Grolsch.
Citigroup analyst Andy Bowley said in a note: "We expect SABMiller to return with a higher bid though question whether it can meet our view of the board's expectations given limited synergies, low post-deal returns, and added risk given current Australian dollar strength."
In 2009, Japan's Kirin Holdings acquired Australia's second-largest beer-maker Lion Nathan for about $3.3-billion and some analysts view fellow Japanese brewer Asahi Breweries as a potential bidder for Foster's.
SABMiller said it had an agreement with its Australian partner Coca-Cola Amatil to buy its share of their Pacific Beverages joint-venture if the Foster's transaction completes.—AFP.

It's also important for this discussion to know that he has always been very lazy around the house and resentful of being asked to help, so over the years I have taken over almost all the chores, either doing them myself or hiring them out. We are both owners of our individual practices, I actually make more money than he does, yet I do basically everything. He takes out the garbage and empties the dishwasher. I do the rest, including bills, car maintenance, touch up painting, you name it. One story illustrates this dynamic. I was getting ready to pick up the kids from school one day and noticed I had a flat tire, and the lug nuts were put on with a machine and I couldn't get them off. AAA was an hour out, so I called my H to come home (10 minutes away) to help. He stormed home, changed the flat, and then left, telling me that he hoped I wouldn't expect him to "rescue me all the time". Message received.
I have discussed the procrastination here before and we have with the MC. My H agreed to the strategy of being careful that when he commits to doing something he really means it, and then making a plan to get it done. For example, he got a book on procrastination and agreed to read 5 chapters a week until he was done, with the understanding that I wouldn't "nag" him about it, but was allowed to ask about it occasionally (any time I ask him about one of the rare things he has promised to do and he hasn't done it he gets angry and feels "nagged" or criticized). So, guess what. He gave up even the pretense of reading the book months ago. When I would ask him about it, he always had excuses. "I like to do it at work", then, just hours after telling me how slow it had been at work that winter he would tell me he didn't have time to do it at work. When I pointed that out he got pissed off.
Over the years I have pointed out to him that he is rationalizing these things, making excuses. Of course that gets me nowhere. He seems literally incapable of just saying that he failed to do something. It's as if he admitted to this tiny failure he would BE a failure. Or if he had a bad behavior he WAS bad. I suspect his CSA/FOO has a lot to do with this, but it allowed him to live with his LTA, along with a fair amount of other crap and I just can't abide by it anymore.
So, after this long preamble (sorry!)--about a month ago I pointed out to my H that there was a screw loose on a cabinet door and it seemed to be stripped. I had tightened it repeatedly and I opined it may need wood glue or something. As new and improved H he said he would fix it. So....Also, several weeks ago we got new carpet in our bedroom and had to move all the clothes out of our closets. I asked him to help me move my clothes back in that night, and although he bitched and moaned about how he didn't want to do it that night (and repeated that several times) I just calmly continued to expect his help and after 5 minutes the chore was completed. His clothes, however, remain piled in our son's room. I asked him to move them before our son came to visit, but....So this morning as we were getting ready to go swimming I asked him to explain his thought processes around chores that he as agreed to do. And he said that he doesn't tend to think of them. And I reminded him of the chores that he had promised he would do for me and that it is disappointing me when he doesn't do them. He said that he hates to disappoint me but that he just doesn't have time to do the chores. And the new improved me decided to call bullshit. I said that that is just not true, that he does have time. And he got angry and said, "fine, so I won't go swimming, I'll just stay home and do chores!". This is a tactic he has used before, since he knows how we both value our training. I said that that was being manipulative and he accused me of being manipulative. Then he went downstairs, and I saw him with a screwdriver. Later I asked him what he had done with the screw and he said he had tightened it. I told him that I had done that repeatedly and it wasn't holding.
So then I went outside and tried to take deep breaths. I realized that I was fighting a battle with myself. I so wanted to drop it and keep the peace. I realized that that was how I had behaved for years and years and I just mentally shook myself and said "no more". So I told my H that this was an unhealthy dynamic and he agreed. (turns out we had different definitions of "unhealthy").
We had to drive separately to the pond and we spoke on the phone. I started to tell my H that I needed him to look deeper into the rationalization, etc, and he interrupted and told me that I had "emasculated him" by criticizing how he fixed the screw. At this point I just lost it and told him that I wanted to throw the phone and bawl. I told him that I really needed him to dig deeper and he said he needed to think about it and we left it at that.
I am at the point that I know that I can't continue to accept this, and we do have a new MC we will meet with in a few weeks time that I'm hoping will help. But...what if he can't do this? What if he continues to be semi-improved but some of the old coping mechanisms remain? I do fear that eventually he will cheat again, since he still can convince himself that he lacks fault for his behaviors, but also I am tired of stifling myself, my needs and feelings. And if I don't we will likely fight, he will withdraw, etc. So what is the alternative? Do I leave him for this, after staying after infidelity? I am so conflicted.
Thanks for any insights you may have.
I don't think many people D because of the affairs. The affair is just the final nail in the coffin.
Let me ask you this. How often (if ever) did D cross your mind before the A? If the answer is very often maybe you already know you deserve better. So then ask yourself why you didn't D already.
My FWW is forgetful. VERY forgetful. She's always mixing up dates and times. There are tools to help her but she doesn't use them. It drives me bonkers. Before her A I rarely thought of D. Actually I don't think I ever did. But now after the A's, I expect better or I will D.
The way I figure it R is not a gift, it's an exchange. I give you R, you give me XY&Z. If you fail to give me Y, you broke the contract. Just like your vows. You can say give me Y right away, or, you can do what I did.
"I'm altering the deal. Give me Y & W immediately and pray I don't alter it further."
Have you read about passive aggressiveness? Your husband sounds PA to me. It's sooooo frustrating and crazy-making to live with someone who is PA.
This article explains the behavior well: http://www.angriesout.com/couples8.htm
A couple good books on the subject are Living with the Passive-Aggressive Man: Coping with Hidden Aggression by Scott Wetzler (for you) and Overcoming Passive-Aggression: How to Stop Hidden Anger from Spoiling Your Relationships, Career and Happiness by Tim Murphy (for him). The problem is getting him to read it. You can't control what he does or doesn't do, only what you do.
My husband was very passive aggressive and for me personally, I will never live with that again. If the old behaviors come back and he wasn't open to seriously working on them, he'd be gone. My deal breakers are not just another affair.
Your husband has not seen that he has a problem in that area that needs to be worked on. He's resisting that. Hopefully he can see it at some point.
I like what MindMonkey had to say, a lot.
I do think that these patterns of behavior are the background that enabled his affair. He must address them. Whether this is more than just conflict avoidance or passive agressive behavior, I do not know. Has he discussed these things with his IC? Real passive aggressives are a danger in a relationship.
I'm proud of you for trying to alter your side of the dynamic. Sometimes that is all it takes to create real change. I like that you didn't back down. His comments are manipulations designed to get you to back off when he is uncomfortable. Frankly, when he's saying things about the book reading? Those are lies. He is still comfortable lying to you to protect himself. Danger, Will Robinson.
Who cares if he gets angry? Let him. He isn't a 7 year old. What's going to happen if he is mad? I think it would be good for him to feel some real emotions and find out how to manage them. Keep altering the dynamic. Keep pushing back. Keep telling him your needs. I think you are on the right track, I just don't know how long it will take to get a change out of him. If he can change.
Would I divorce my spouse if I didn't see some core changes? Yes, I would have.
I just want to tell him to fix his shit. Let him figure out how. And keep my own boundaries. Ha won't like that, but oh well.
he has always been very lazy around the house and resentful
"The most reliable predictor of a person's future behavior is his relevant past behavior." - Dr. Phil
I don't think many people D because of the affairs.
The affair is just the final nail in the coffin.
For me, it wasn't the "final nail", but it was the "permission", and
the "2 X 4 of insight".
I was raised in the "bible belt". I had grown to believe that
adultery was a "ground" for divorce. But "mental cruelty" wasn't.
I was playing a "game" in which "not divorcing" was the goal, instead
of "having marriage".
I realized that I was fighting a battle with myself
I know that I can't continue to accept this
That was the "final nail".
I do fear that eventually he will cheat again,
since he still can convince himself that he lacks fault for his behaviors
You are absolutely correct. Your fear is grounded in truth.
It is his self-rationalization which caused the infidelity, and if
it goes untreated and uncorrected, the likelihood is that he will
cheat again.
I am tired of stifling myself, my needs and feelings.
And if I don't we will likely fight, he will withdraw, etc.
See Dr. Phil above.
Do I leave him for this, after staying after infidelity?
I took quite a while to figure this out myself. I did not "leave" because
of the infidelity, I left because of the "this".
Because the infidelity was a "symptom" and not the disease. It was the
disease that remained unchanged, and the disease which caused my pain in the marriage.
I just want to tell him to fix his shit. Let him figure out how. And keep my own boundaries. Ha won't like that, but oh well.
Your own advice is stellar...
Give yourself permission to leave if your boundaries include "my needs and feelings" continuing to be stifled.
I found other ways to get them met, other than my wife.

I think this is a very healthy place for you to be! Down with co-dependancy!!
I straight up told mine, "I'm not your therapist, discuss it with her. But be mindful, I'm not going to wait forever." Get a move on, bro!
I agree he is still lying, and still passive aggressive and resentful. He states he feels emasculated. That probably stems from you trying so hard to direct his actions, drive his healing, etc.
Its difficult b/c on the one hand you have to express your needs but on the other hand, you don't want to control.
Ideally he would be volunteering and willingly giving you what you need.
he has always been very lazy around the house and resentful
What is he resentful about?
My IC suspects the CSA caused him to stop developing emotionally at around the teenage level. That's what it feels like I'm living with sometimes.
He only felt "emasculated" because I didn't praise his half assed home repair. It was meant to shut me up.
I wrote him an email and he replied that he would do whatever it takes. We shall see.
Thanks for all the insight and support!

Try communicating these fears, minus the threat of D.
If you have communicated these fears; it sounds like this needs to be a boundary for you, and should be communicated that way. If he breaks the boundary, then you have another decision to make.
[This message edited by Althea at 12:56 PM, July 18th (Friday)]
I asked him to figure that out, likely with help, whatever it took, so that I could feel safe with him. I also said that I did not want to be involved unless he asked for help.
We will see if he is up to the task. He has been protecting himself for a very long time.

The Green Pajamas: Death By Misadventure
With this album being one-half a concept suite and one-half a smattering of other non-related songs, coupled with some lousy production, it is a baffling release – though one that can be quite catchy at times.
The Green Pajamas
Death By MisadventureLabel: Green Monkey
US Release Date: 2012-07-17
UK Release Date: 2012-07-17
Seattle band The Green Pajamas have been going at it for about 30 years now, and to say they're a bit prolific is a bit of an understatement. Their latest album, the fourth band or side-project related release during the past year, is also their 30th. Fronted by Jeff Kelly, the group is probably best known for a song called "Kim the Waitress" that was semi-famously covered during the '90s alterna-rock boom by a Chicago outfit called Material Issue. But being so prolific and around so long without piercing the mainstream's bubble is bound to lead to some confusion, too: The usually dependable and reliable Allmusic.com lists this new album, Death By Misadventure, as coming out originally in 1984 (!). The mistake would be understandable as the Green Pajamas play a kind of updated version of paisley underground-inspired neo-psychedelia that is somewhat timeless in a way. The mistake is also understandable because, while there are some great songs to be found on Death By Misadventure, it does sound a bit like it came out nearly 30 years ago: The keyboards, in particular, sound so cheap that they sound like they are derived from the first wave of MIDI synthesizers, which is a polite way of saying that they sound dated. Coupled with the fact that half of the album is a sort of concept piece called "The Fall of the Queen Bee", congealing into something of a suite of eight songs (and considering the rest is rather confusingly not), that deflates the balloon of sound the Green Pajamas bring to the table on this particular release. It's as though the band actually grafted two extended plays together that were unrelated and called it an album. Yes, I'm aware that Rush did this on 2112, but, here, the feeling is a bit more disjointed, and a bit of a head-scratcher. What's the point? Well, there might not be one, other than throwing a bunch of stuff together so you can keep up your rate of prolific productivity.
Still, there's some great music to be found on Death by Misadventure, an album that musically knows no boundaries. You'll get a rocking, groovy track nestled against something that could have come out of the carnival of Danny Elfman's imagination. And a large part of it has a way of slithering into your brain and nestling quite comfortably there. At 16 songs and roughly 54 minutes in length, there's a little something for everyone here: If there's something that you don't really enjoy, don't worry; there's something else coming down the pipe in a minute or two that will likely change gears entirely. However, for this listener, the band's best material comes when it has its raygun set to stun by rocking out convincingly than when it moves into weird territory that sound more like circus music that is experimental for sake of the narrative.
Highlights include the vaguely Tom Petty-esque opener "You Can't Look", the countrified rocker "Carrie", the jazz-rock fusion final track "The Spell", and the fuzzy "Supervirgin", which is the only place on the record where the keyboards are suitably squiggly and not embarrassing-sounding. However, a great deal of the record does feel cast-off, with songs – particularly in the early going – being short and punchy, as they're part of a jigsaw puzzle that's meant to be part of a larger whole. However, they don't really go anywhere memorable, and the overarching "concept" piece doesn't make a whole lot of sense. If anything, the so-called concept is just an excuse to be loopy and psychedelic, with lines such as "This household is electric, I like your wig / Quadraphonic records, that's something I could dig". And, yes, lyrics aren't exactly The Green Pajamas' strong suit, at least not here.
Overall, Death By Misadventure feels like a minor work by a band trying hard to paint in as broad strokes as possible. If you don't pay attention to the loose concept and tune out of the lyrics, the album isn't all that half bad – at least, on the less campy tracks. The Green Pajamas do have a strength, and that's when they stick to rock idioms and just kick out the jams. Maybe that's just a personal preference of this listener – I'm a rock kind of guy – but the herky-jerky songs do feel a little creaky and silly, and it doesn't quite gel with the rest of the material. Still, you have to give props to the band for trying, at least, to run fairly far with the ball into some offbeat and bizarre territory. I suppose that ultimately makes Death By Misadventure a record best for longtime fans, which would mostly be Seattleites who've grown up with Kelly and his cohorts. There's some not bad stuff here, and the band does know how to pen a decent song every now and then. However, nothing on Death By Misadventure attains the high water mark of a "Kim the Waitress", which will probably remain the group's signature song, whether the Green Pajamas like it or not. Death By Misadventure is simply the sound of a band trying to figure out where to go next, years after scoring great heights with one memorable and classic song. That they're still trying to figure things out is the slightly baffling part.

Johnson & Johnson leverages native ads on WebMD mobile site
Johnson & Johnson is offering coupons for a number of its brands to users of the mobile site for WebMD, which is ramping up its native ad offerings.
When users of the WebMD site click on a banner ad at the bottom of their screen, full-screen sponsored content appears that is swipable and can be easily closed to return to the original screen. Johnson & Johnson is sponsoring content related to healthy living that provides users with a way to access coupons for Benadryl, Sudafed, Aveeno, RoC and other brands.
?With advertisers increasingly turning to mobile platforms to engage today?s on-the-go consumers, brands are clamoring to create a ?native? approach to mobile ad delivery, but are struggling with the challenge of delivering the click throughs and measurable ROI to advertisers without disrupting the overall app experience,? said Todd Zander, vice president of mobile and emerging media at WebMD, New York.
?The strategy makes sense for WebMD as it allows us to offer advertisers a means to house their branded content within the app without disrupting that experience by forcing users to click-through to another screen and leave the app entirely,? he said.
?It also allows our partners? advertising creative and brand messaging to stand out without compromising the flow of trusted and credible medical information that consumers have come to rely on.?
Branded information
When users click on the banner for healthy living, they see a new screen where they can click for information on a variety of topics, including women?s health, healthy beauty, food and recipes, weight loss and fitness and exercise. The content is sponsored by Johnson & Johnson.
There are also several swipable slideshows, including one showcasing tips for flat abs.
As users continue to scroll down, a button appears that they can click on coupons and offers from Johnson & Johnson. This takes users off the site to the Johnson & Johnson Healthy Essentials site where they can sign up to receive coupons via email for a variety of Johnson & Johnson brands.
Native mobile advertising options for marketers have been growing as brands look to seamlessly integrate their messaging into smartphone experiences as opposed to running ads that take users to another app or mobile site.
To address the interest in native advertising, WebMD has created a fully integrated content platform that enables advertisers to house branded information within its recently redesigned iPhone app. As a result, users do not have to click through to another screen.
Snackable content
The WebMD iPhone app, which delivers information related to healthy living, physician-reviewed health content and interactive tools, has over 17.5 million downloads. The wellness information available in the app spans recipes, dieting tips, parenting, beauty as well as advice on sex and relationships.
The focus of the redesign is on delivering more personalized multimedia lifestyle content for on-the-go users who want short, quick-hit content on a broad range of topics.
Users will find a new interface where they can select topics to populate tips, fun facts, articles, videos and quizzes. Users can also find the closest physicians, hospitals and pharmacies by city, state or ZIP code and can filter their search by services such as ?open 24 hours/day.?
The app also features disease and treatment information on a broad array of topics.
?We designed the WebMD app be visually stimulating, including a rotating home screen, personalized healthy living content and medical tools,? Mr. Zander said.
?We wanted to make our content ?snackable? to cater to small screen and mobile behavior, while at the same time enabling advertisers to utilize our platform to place ads in numerous locations throughout the app in a contextually relevant way to preserve the continuity of the user experience,? he said.
?For instance, sponsored content can be placed within the rotating home screen, on banner ads throughout all tools and articles and across the full screen.?
Final Take
Chantal Tode is associate editor on Mobile Marketer, New York

Alaskans shown what to do if they fall through ice
In frozen climes, simple tips can make difference between life and death.
Juneau Empire
JUNEAU, Alaska — Nearly 150 Juneauites trekked to the Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center recently for a lesson in surviving falling into icy waters.
"It's essential to saving lives (to know how to react when someone falls through)," said Laurie Craig, the lead naturalist at the visitor center. "People go through all the time. People have gone through almost every weekend during the winters."
At the event, professionals gave a presentation on tips for reacting both when an individual falls through the ice, and when someone nearby falls in.
"It's reasonably important to learn about ice safety living in Juneau," said Tim Lamkin, who brought his 6-year-old son to the event. "My biggest take away was learning to behave like a seal kicking both legs together to get out."
The first thing people should do when someone falls in is call emergency personnel. After that is done, efforts to reach the person with a branch or long object should ensue, according to the presentation.
Unsuccessful efforts to reach the victim should be followed by throwing something to help the person get as much of their body out of the water as possible, said Joel Curtis, a volunteer with the Capital City Fire and Rescue special teams.
"The more you can get yourself out of the water, the better off you are," Curtis said. "Everything is a heat sink, so if just your legs are in the water that's going to make a big difference."
Having something to float on that gets a large portion of the victim's body out of the water — such as a spare tire — could "easily" afford that person an extra 10 minutes for first responders to arrive, and it could be the difference between life and death, Curtis added.
Curtis was one of three specialists on hand for the main event — three examples of surviving a fall through the ice.
In the first scenario, the victim demonstrated how to use tools to scrape his way out of the icy hole. Once clear of the hole's edge, he rolled away to prevent the ice from breaking again.
In the second scenario, the victim was able to help rescue officials, but lacked the ability and tools to get out on his own. The rescue official got in the water with the victim and tied a rope around him, and then a second official on the shore helped pull him out.
The last example was when the victim was unable to help rescue officials in any way.
"If you're next to someone who falls through, knowing what to do could mean saving their life," Craig said. "(The victim) has to remember to breathe, stay still and keep as much of their body out of the water as possible."
Though she is familiar with the lake, Craig said she never goes out on the ice due to inconsistency in thickness and stability.
"People get a false sense of security because of how think they hear the ice is," Craig said. "There is a current under the ice that makes it very dangerous. It could be 12 inches thick somewhere and then be half-an-inch thick three feet away."
