Social Media Influencers and Brand Advocates: What's the Difference?
richard moh
Thursday, 18 August 2016
There seems to be a lot of confusion between influencer and advocate marketing. While some people have a specified metrics to know the difference between the two, some are not sure where to draw the line to differentiate them. This social media buzz has notably caught a lot of attention; hence, why I decided to write about this. It is high time to put an end to this confusion.The following aspects should be considered to get a good grasp of what influencer marketing and advocacy are:
Their Association to the Brand
I come across a study published in 2015 which revealed that 81% of the brand owners found influencer marketing campaign effective; thus, brand owners are now very adamant in using influencers to increase their sales.
To draw an analogy to make the difference clear between both would be an influencer is liken to skincare expert that is brand agnostic, in comparison to advocates who are brand experts that knows brands they love inside out.
Another difference is an Advocate has a positive sentiment towards your brand, whereas an Influencer may have a negative, neutral or positive view. Advocates are not typically compensated, although they may receive perks like new product trials or coupons.
Their Reach, Relevance and Engagement rate
The number of followers is another aspect wherein social media influencers and brand advocates slightly differ. Influencers are mostly particular with the number of followers they have. After all, their huge fan base is what makes them influencers in the first place.
Advocates, on the other hand are super fans and brand loyalists who engage with the brand because they truly love it and will take action if asked. They may or may not have a sphere of influence themselves.
In influencer marketing, the number of followers does matter. One particular reason for this is the fact that most companies will look into their connections before hiring them for a short-term campaign. Of course, their relevance to the campaign and engagement rate with their audience are vital points considered by marketers before hiring.
Payments and Compensation for Content
Since influencers are more business driven, they are likely after the rewards that they can get. The rewards do not always come in monetary value. It can be in the form of products, exposure, or more online credibility. Whereas the advocate marketing utilizes satisfied brand users, who can extend their service without a necessary price requirement.
Now that you and I looked into the difference between influencer and advocate marketing. Hope this would help in providing you clarity on working your marketing efforts :)

New research that surveyed 200 IT security professionals in U.S. and UK organizations of at least 1,000 employees shows that security professionals in both countries consider data classification a key component of a layered security approach. This is borne out by the fact that 52% of the companies surveyed already use some form of data classification tool.
Fran Howarth, principal analyst at Bloor Research, which conducted the survey, stated: "Effective information governance is essential for data security and needs to be implemented across the entire lifecycle of information. Data classification policies and tools allow all data to be classified according to its sensitivity and criticality to the organization. Such policies and tools need to be extended to all systems and devices, including mobile devices, the use of which is growing rapidly."
One of the benefits of data classification is the impact it has on user awareness. It draws employees' attention to the sensitivity level of the information they are working, which should result in better protection of sensitive data. Martin Sugden, managing director of Boldon James, puts it this way: "In terms of user awareness, data classification helps to ensure employees are more aware of the type of information they are dealing with and its value, as well as their obligations in protecting it to prevent data loss."
The survey also asked participants to identify actions their organization had taken after a data breach. The top three actions were:
ARMA's Generally Accepted Recordkeeping Principles® draw attention to the need for employee training in a transparent organization. In the information governance world, the need for transparency (e.g., easily understood procedures, documented processes, user training) must be balanced with the need for information security. There is a role for both in the protection of an organization's valuable information assets.

Idzorek points out that emerging-markets stocks and bonds have moved counter to the broader market—sometimes significantly—in five of the 16 years for which Morningstar has data on these investment vehicles. "Going into any given year, it is very difficult to say which asset class will be the winner. Therefore, if you have an emerging-markets stock fund and a bond fund, you are likely to have a smoother ride, long term, than if you have only one type of fund." However, he warns that investors shouldn't overload on emerging-markets stocks or bonds, expecting the high returns of recent years. "Perhaps 10% or even 5% of a diversified portfolio should be in the emerging markets," he says. A modest dose of emerging markets, split between stocks and bonds, might give your portfolio a boost over the long term without putting you on a breathtaking roller coaster ride.
CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT (CDs)
Traditionally, a balanced portfolio
includes some cash as well as stocks and bonds. Today, though, cash equivalents have scant yields: the average money market fund yields only $5 a year (0.05%) on a $10,000 deposit. "You can do better with bank certificates of deposit (CDs)," says Greg McBride, senior financial analyst at Bankrate.com, based in North Palm Beach, Florida, "especially if you shop the Internet for the best deals. Today, the average yield on a one-year CD is only 1%, but the highest-yielding one-year CDs are paying around 2%." Safety is not really an issue if you get a CD from a bank that's a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (most are). The FDIC insures up to $250,000 per account, per bank.
McBride warns against buying long-term CDs today. "It doesn't make sense to lock up your money for three or five years at the interest rates being offered now," he says. Instead, he suggests constructing a "ladder" of CDs maturing in three, six, nine, and 12 months, then renewing them as they mature. When interest rates start to move up, perhaps in 18 months or two years, you'll have cash from maturing CDs that you can reinvest at higher yields. "If you're years from retirement, you should have no more than 10% to 15% of your portfolio in CDs," says McBride. "As you grow older, you may want to have more money there, for safety and for current income."
If only 5% to 10% of your portfolio is allocated to emerging markets, you probably should hold stocks from the U.S. and other developed nations as well. In order to minimize exposure to a free fall like the one we all experienced in 2008, you might want to include dividend-paying stocks. "Look for companies that have enough net income to easily cover the interest on their debt and the dividends they pay to shareholders," says Eugene Profit, CEO of Profit Investment Management (No. 15 on the be asset managers list with $900 million in assets under management). "Those companies have strong fundamentals so they are likely to hold up well in any economy."
What's more, current law calls for stock dividends to be taxed at no higher than 15% through 2010. (Bond interest, on the other hand, may be taxed as high as 35%) "No one knows what will happen in the future," says Profit, "but it's possible that stock dividends will continue to have favorable tax treatment because many seniors rely on those dividends for retirement income."
Overall, Profit suggests mixing high-dividend stocks with growth-oriented equities that pay little or no dividends. If you are getting an overall 2% to 3% yield from the stocks in your portfolio, you might have current income, upside potential, and downside protection if stocks slump again.
Among his firm's current holdings, Profit is especially keen on these dividend-paying stocks:
Verizon (VZ) This telecom giant, the largest wireless carrier in the U.S., now has a dividend yield of more than 6%. "The company may get the rights to sell the iPhone in the next year or two," Profit says. "In the meantime, the high dividend means investors are being well-paid to wait for news that might boost the company's stock price."
General Electric (GE) This company has been included in the financial sector because of its GE Capital subsidiary. As a result, its stock price has suffered in the credit crisis. "GE really is an industrial company, not a bank," says Profit. "It is well-positioned to increase earnings as the economy recovers." Meanwhile, it offers a well-covered 5% dividend yield.
United Parcel Service (UPS) Profit puts the current dividend yield at 3.25%, which is as high as or higher than you'd get from most bank accounts or Treasury bonds. "In addition," Profit says, "UPS has the highest profit margins of any major company in the transportation industry. So investors might see its stock price move up when the economy improves."
Home Depot (HD), with a current yield of 3.40%. "Shelves look empty at Home Depot these days as homeowners launch do-it-yourself projects and hire contractors, either to help sell their homes or make them more comfortable because they'll be there for awhile. Also, management is making an effort to be more customer-friendly," says Profit. The company's current dividend yield is around 3.4%.
Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), with a current yield of 3.2%. Profit admits that healthcare stocks have been up and down with all the talk of federal healthcare reform. "Once that's resolved," he says, "the basic fundamentals will emerge: an aging nation and an aging world mean more demand for healthcare. J&J offers the best combination of safety, upside potential, and yield among dividend-paying stocks in that sector."
During the stock market crash of 2008–2009, bonds outperformed other traditionally "defensive" assets such as gold and (naturally) real estate. The best way to protect your portfolio from stock market volatility, therefore, is to hold some bonds. "Today, you can easily get higher yields from municipal bonds than you can get from Treasury bonds," says Mike Nozzarella, managing director at the Tarbox Group, a wealth management firm in Newport Beach, California.
Munis pay tax-exempt interest while the interest from Treasuries is taxable, so the former will generate much higher yields after taxes. As of mid-October, 10-year Treasury bonds yielded 3.25%. If you are in a 28% federal tax bracket, for example, you would keep only 2.34%, after tax. "High-quality municipal bonds maturing in seven to 15 years now yield around 4% to 5% tax-free," says Nozzarella. That's a tax-exempt yield so you'd collect almost twice as much as you'd net from a taxable Treasury bond.
Investing in municipal bonds is far from straightforward. Among the points to consider:
Credit quality. State and local governments face financial pressure now so the risk of default has increased. "For safety, buy GO [general obligation] munis," says Nozzarella. "It makes sense to sprinkle in some general obligation bonds because you can pick up some yield, but don't be greedy. There is no question that states like California have serious budget issues and the GOs are backed by the state's ability to impose taxes (and raise revenue through higher taxes). However, California issued IOUs earlier this year, so it's not the 'safe' play, as much as it is the 'calculated risk' play."
Munis are backed by the full taxing power of the issuer so defaults are unlikely. You'll also be safe owning bonds issued to fund essential services such as schools, water supply, and sewer treatment.
Call features. In today's muni market, investors often pay a premium: you might pay $1,100 for a $1,000 bond, for example. Once the bond matures you'll automatically lose $100. That's acceptable if you get a high yield and your loss at maturity is many years away. However, some munis may be "called" (redeemed prematurely at face value), reducing your income stream and accelerating your loss. "Always ask your broker or adviser about the yield-to-call," says Nozzarella, "to see what your true return will likely be."
If you'd rather not master the intricacies of the muni market, you can simply invest in a municipal bond fund. Funds holding intermediate-term munis may generate decent yields with relatively low risks. "A moderately aggressive investor might hold 20% of his or her portfolio in municipal bonds or muni funds," says Nozzarella.
Indeed, adding just the right mix of each of these investments—emerging-markets bond funds, CDs, dividend-producing stocks, and municipal bond funds—should help you cultivate sweet, low-stress returns.

The Senate has sent a stopgap spending bill to President Barack Obama that's needed to prevent a government shutdown on Friday at midnight.
The bill passed by a voice vote. It gives negotiators in the lame-duck Congress two more weeks to try to pass a bill funding the government for the rest of the budget year, which ends Sept. 30.
If that fails, lawmakers would have to pass another stopgap measure to fund agency budgets into next year, when Republicans will control the House.
The Democratic-controlled Congress hasn't passed a single annual spending bills in an unprecedented breakdown of the budget process.
The House approved the legislation Wednesday.

Reading Rykwert on break. More interesting stuff from Aristotle & Plato's Sophist.
Thinks the term poiesis might have changed in late 7th cent. BC when poets started charging for their services & refining their techne (the main purpose being to create a monument to fame more lasting than marble - not their own fame, but their patron's - cf. Pindar). Poiesis before meant "making" more generally.
Distinctions between acquisitive techne - hunting, fishing, fighting - and productive techne - agriculture, shipbuilding, architecture, etc. Also distinctions between productive mimesis (the carpenter builds this table based on the concept "table") and imitative mimesis (the painter paints a copy of carpenter's "this" table).
acquisitive techne = rhetoric, sophism ?
productive techne = poiesis ?
(tendencies or sharp distinctions?)

Steve Aoki has been spinning records "for the kids" forever, before the whole EDM movement took off, and now he is one of the biggest DJs in the world. He's tried to "Aokify" everything around him and is known for showcasing new music throughout his set, for his cake-throwing, and for his Aoki-style jumps throughout the world. Recently, Aoki got the opportunity to throw cake in Dr. Drew's face because "once he said he was OK with it, it had to happen," laughed Aoki.
Aoki's hometown is Los Angeles and he hasn't played Los Angeles in a year—which makes his announcement that he's playing The Shrine on November 15th even more important. Tickets go on sale Friday at AokifyAmerica.com and the DJ says there will be tons of awesome special guests on hand.
I wanted to make sure that when we announced it that it would be a big announcement, especially on your show because this is Southern California listening right now on Kevin and Bean," said Aoki. He'll be touring with Borgore and Waka Flocka.
It's easy to imagine who his superstar roster will be, but also hard because everyone in the EDM community is so chill with each other. Aoki said that there's not a lot of competition and when someone puts out a good song, everyone wants to get their hands on it to play during their own DJ sets. It's a really "harmonious" community.
"There are no weird beefs or cliques. And all the different genres of music…everyone respects each other," claimed Aoki. "From Skrillex to Deadmau5 to Calvin Harris to Tiesto, I mean, like we're all respectful and we all want to play each other's music."
It might be that all these DJs have shared a similar chaotic lifestyle. Aoki said that on some tours he only gets three hours of sleep a night and will catch little bits of sleep while he's in a car. If it's a bus tour, it's better, because he can sleep while traveling and he also has his studio in the bus. Tomorrow night, Aoki will be in East Lansing, Michigan and then be on the road for ten nights in a row working. He says it's easier for DJs versus bands because there's a smaller crew involved, but that traveling is the "hardest part."
"That will kill you, son," remarks Bean about Aoki's sleepless lifestyle, to which Aoki amicably replied," "That's how I've survived. I don't know how, but it's a kind of adaptive instinct that you have to learn to have this lifestyle. "
It helps that Aoki doesn't drink or do drugs or any kind. At one point, he was drinking at every show and "doing these crazy run of shows," but he finds that party lifestyle slowed down his flow. "It's actually ridiculously hard to party hard and tour," admitted Aoki. As for the proliferation of drugs in the EDM scene, Aoki was diplomatic, but still stressed the negative side effects that could occur.
"Of course, it's tragic and it's really sad when these things happen. I think at the end of the day, it's just about education," confessed Aoki. "The first thing I think about is how can we educate people to be safer and be more responsible. So, if they end up deciding to do something, they know there's a possibility they might die. And, I think, that if more people knew that it would change the whole course of people taking substances and whatnot."
"I think that's the one thing we're all trying to figure out," alluding, perhaps, to the many other DJs who feel the same way. "Is how to say that in a way where people listen and people will learn. And it's not like you're force-feeding kids this information because no one wants to be told what to do either, you know. They're going to do what their friends do and if their friends think it's safe than they're going to do it. So, as long as some kind of information is getting out there, it's just gotta get out there. But people like to hide that information."
Being sober is not what people imagine when they imagine the life of a musical star, but many musicians find their way to the path of sobriety. Aoki recently worked with Linkin Park, featuring the famously sober Chester Bennington, on a hit song called "A Light That Never Comes" that will be on Linkin Park's upcoming new album, Recharged.
Aoki said that he met the band through the magic of Twitter. While he's known Mike Shinoda for a long time, he was asked to do a remix for Linkin Park. His writing process is "piece meal" and some of it was written in a cabin in Mammoth and some while he was in his bus studio. While writing the song, Aoki didn't focus on making a hit song for radio and was actually surprised that KROQ took to the alternative song structure of the song.
"It's strange because when I'm in the studio and I'm writing a song, I don't write it to fit the radio. 'Cuz for me, I'm really writing it for the club, so on this one, it's exciting to hear a song with a completely different structure than the verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus," said Aoki. "There's like a drop with no vocals and that kind of thing is going. It's exciting to listen to it on KROQ and be like 'Oh, this is actually playing on the radio.'"
Aoki said that while he's talked to people like Red Foo from LMFAO about writing songs that "crack the radio code," he's decided to just keep writing the way he writes.
Which is fine, because Aoki is a huge enough star on his own. He doesn't need to change anything different, especially when he's dope enough to jump out in the crowd with fans while supporting other musicians at festivals.
"I'll jump in the crowd and just wing it," said Aoki. "It's kind of fun doing that kind of stuff."
–Nadia Noir, KROQ

Body search ends at gold mine shaft
South African police have called off a search at an abandoned gold mine near Johannesburg after finding four bodies in the shaft.
Police spokeswoman Colonel Noxolo Kweza said the bodies were recovered on Thursday after the four were shot dead by mine guards.
The mine east of Johannesburg is owned by relatives of Nelson Mandela and president Jacob Zuma.
Emergency services spokesman Roggers Mamaila said the search resumed on Friday morning but no more bodies were found.
"All emergency members are returning to base, we are certain there are no more bodies," he said.
Paul Mkhabela, who said he used to bring miners working illegally to the mine each day, said only two of the five miners he brought there on Monday had survived.
"I always bring them in the morning, drop them near the mine and fetch them the next day," he said. "They come back with bags of dirty soil which they wash to extract the gold."
South Africa is one of the world's largest gold producers and has some of the world's deepest mines. Illegal mining is common.
Last year, more than 80 prospectors were found dead in one of the country's abandoned gold mines.
Police say illegal miners are hired by organised crime rackets.

Robert Bruce Facer walked through life one barefoot step at a time, entirely at his own pace.
That life ended after 65 years on April 15 in Monterey, the final stop of a journey worthy of poets and mythologists.
Facer was a raggedy man who was homeless by choice, not circumstance. His floppy hat, tattered clothes and ever-shoeless feet attracted strange looks wherever he wandered — and it's hard to imagine anyone ever wandered farther. Between 1984 and 2012, Facer traveled more than 4,000 miles, from Alaska to Monterey, exclusively by foot and kayak. He lived a humble but amazing life, leaving in his wake a lot more friends and admirers than he probably realized.
"I wouldn't describe him as a unique child — not at all. I'd say he was very run-of-the-mill," says his sister, Mary Beth Nowinski, who lives in Maryland. "He began to change, I think, in the '60s, when young people were experimenting and dropping out. That's when he started making different choices in his life."
The son of a U.S. Navy pilot, Facer graduated from high school in Hawaii, then spent a short time at Claremont College before wanderlust took him to Seward, Alaska, two hours north of Anchorage by car.
Facer became so enamoured with nature in Alaska that he tore down a wall of his home — the entire wall — to allow wildlife to roam through.
He became a fixture and well-known character in the small community, where people called him "Spaceman Bruce" and local police often arrested him for his own well-being for refusing to wear shoes in temperatures that often dropped below zero.
In the mid-1980s he told friends he planned to venture south, to California. By then, Facer was referring to himself as an Amish minister, and, in accordance with the religious convictions of the Amish, he no longer traveled by any kind of motorized vehicle — cars, planes, trains or mechanically powered boats. So he walked.
"He walked into the interior of Alaska and the Yukon Territory without shoes in the depth of winter," writes Steve Conway, a friend from Seward, on a website dedicated to Facer's memory. "He also said he would not use any bridges to cross a river. He planned to (ford) every stream and river."
Facer traveled more than 500 miles by foot to the Canadian border, where, because of a marijuana conviction, lack of money and no identification, he was turned away. So he walked back to Alaska, where he found work on the Exxon Valdez cleanup. He spent those earnings on a kayak for another journey to the U.S. mainland by water.
Facer's 4,000-mile journey by foot and kayak took 19 years — a series of 200- to 350-mile treks, with season-long camping and fishing breaks when the weather was intolerable. His primary food was salmon, berries and whatever he could get from the wild.
Though he traveled almost entirely alone, paranoia was his companion as he kayaked into Canada, where he feared being arrested by the Canadian Coast Guard or Royal Canadian Mounted Police. He eventually paddled into Washington, where he began to suffer from a congenital heart condition that he treated with herbs and diet.
Facer nearly drowned when his kayak became swamped as he crossed the mouth of the Columbia River. He barely made it to shore on the Oregon side, then walked the shoreline to the southern part of the state, where he found another kayak.
When that boat broke apart in California, the sojourner built himself a third vessel from fiberglass, Styrofoam, PVC pipe and metal — parts he'd found in Sebastopol — and took to the water again.
"The first time I ever saw him was in Berkeley, near People's Park, where I was working with an outreach team," says homeless advocate Ronee Curry of Aptos, who became one of Facer's closest friends. "He was so unique-looking that I reached out and grabbed him by the arm. That freaked him out, but I just wanted to know who he was."
They chatted. He reluctantly permitted her to take his picture. In 2007 he paddled from Marin County to Santa Cruz and wandered into an Episcopal church, where he asked to use a bathroom. Curry happened to be running a youth coffeehouse there at the time, and recruited him to help out in the kitchen.
"I found him to be a very articulate person, but he didn't think the way we think. He looked at life in a very different way from the rest of us," she says.
Acceptance came reluctantly from the Episcopalian community, she says, and Facer, feeling rejected, disappeared. Curry says she went before the church vestry on Facer's behalf.
"They really weren't used to having homeless people around, especially somebody as different as Robert," she says. "But after that, they actually went out and found him, brought him back, gave him keys and allowed him to hang out at the church."
On Easter 2011, he allowed himself to be baptized in the church, though Curry theorizes he did it more for the church than out of a desire to become Episcopalian. "He was a person who just wanted to be liked," she says. "He'd do things to please other people, not for himself."
Facer's relationship with the church was a major inspiration for a nightly dinner there that nowadays feeds 180 homeless people every night, she says.
Known in Santa Cruz as "Blind Bear" or "Featherhat," Facer became regular among the locals who gather downtown to participate in a drum circle. He moved into the Occupy Santa Cruz camp, constructing a large teepee among the tents that he christened as a Mosaic temple. Though he never slept there himself, Facer selflessly offered the structure to others in need of shelter. But when the Occupiers began to clash with authorities, and his teepee was destroyed, he went back to the water.
His attempt to paddle from Santa Cruz to Monterey last October was detoured when high winds blew him ashore in Moss Landing. Alarmed by his unusual appearance, locals called the police.
"The cops came, spoke to him for a few minutes and allowed him to dock there," Curry says. "They recognized that he was such a gentle person and let him stay."
He moved again in February, this time paddling across the bay into Monterey Harbor, where harbor personnel were equally accommodating.
"Robert was a free spirit, a breed of a different sort," says Scott Pryor, marine operations supervisor at Monterey Harbor. "He was a very pleasant person to talk to — a very quiet, humble, soft-spoken man who didn't drink, didn't do drugs, didn't bother a soul."
Facer was permitted to park his dilapidated, homemade kayak in the harbor. He preferred to sleep on the beach. He spent his days walking barefoot around Monterey, toting 93 pounds of belongings, sunbathing on the beach, sometimes bodysurfing in the freezing water wearing only shorts.
On April 14, certified nursing assistant Debbie Pryor, Scott's wife, noticed him hunched over on a bench near the wharf.
"He looked like he wasn't feeling very well, so I stopped to talk to him," she says. "He said, 'I think I'm having a heart attack.'"
Pryor called 911, but Facer, consistent with his Amish beliefs, was reluctant to go to the hospital, especially via ambulance. Eventually he relented and was taken to Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula, where he died the following day.
"I was at his bedside when he passed away," Curry says. "They gave him the option of surgery — a heart valve was malfunctioning, causing his lungs to fill up — but he said he didn't want to be cut open like a fish."
Before he died, he gave Curry his hat. She also kept some of his ashes — the rest was sent to his family — along with his 93 pounds of belongings.
In addition to his sister, Mary Beth, Facer is survived by his 92-year-old father, Gordon, and another sister, Patricia Icke, who lives in Virginia.

"Drought in northeastern Syria over the past two years has devastated wheat production in the region. In 2008 Syria was forced to import wheat for the first time in fifteen years to compensate. Crops were also wiped out in Turkey this year after drought affected 35 out of 81 provinces. Iran is another nation importing extra wheat this season after a 20 percent decline in annual yield.
Palestine and Israel have been in a "regional drought" for over half a decade. Palestinians in the West Bank, enduring especially difficult circumstances, are without water for hours or days at a time this summer. Israel controls 90 percent of the water distribution system for the West Bank, but claims to be unable to provide additional water to those in the West Bank."

Angry Birds Space has hit the app stores for a number of handsets today and I'll admit I'm already a little addicted.
I'm a massive Angry Birds fan anyway having played (and completed) all the games they've bought out for iPhone; plus I've got an Angry Birds iPhone cover too.
Angry Birds Space creators, Rovio have said that the game's: 'a completely new game with innovative new gameplay, but with some of the familiar Angry Birds elements that fans already know and love'.
I'm really liking the impact gravity has in the game and the hidden extra Space Invaders style levels – definitely a great added feature to the game.
To celebrate the release of Angry Birds Space we've sourced a brand new Angry Birds iPad 3 cover.
The Gear4 Angry Birds iPad 3 Executive cover is the latest iPad 3 cover to feature those Angry Angry Birds. Made from a durable and lightweight leather material, the cover is hard-wearing and protects your new iPad from day to day bumps, drops, scrapes and scratches.
Perfect for both business and social thanks to its sleek design, this iPad 3 case allows you to show your allegiance to Angry Birds in a discreet way. This is due to the small Red Bird character features on the bottom corner of the case.
The front cover of this iPad case doubles up as a handy stand for your new iPad so that you can stream media, type and swipe at the most comfortable angle. The interior of the front cover sports a soft microfibre material, so when the cover is closed your screen is fully protected and cushioned from any shocks. This means it remains looking newer for longer.
As expected this case allows you full access to all the ports and features of your iPad so that it remains fully functioning at all times. This is definitely the perfect iPad cover for Angry Birds fans and professionals alike.
Have you tried out Angry Birds Space yet? What are your thought? Let us know through the usual channels

Omogrosso exceeding expectations in 2012
Omogrosso exceeding expectations in 2012
Even Omogrosso himself didn't see his Major League possibilities at the time.
"With the April I had this year, I thought I was off the face of baseball earth," said Omogrosso, who posted a 7.15 ERA pitching for Triple-A Charlotte in April. "But coming back and being able to do what I have done this year, I couldn't put myself in a better spot."
Omogrosso faced Miguel Cabrera with a runner on first and two outs in the eighth inning of Monday's 6-1 White Sox victory. The right-hander yielded a double and was replaced by Donnie Veal, who retired Prince Fielder to keep the Tigers from scoring.
Factoring in Monday, Omogrosso has yielded just one run in 5 2/3 innings of work during the September playoff push. It's a great sense of accomplishment for the sixth-round pick in the 2006 First-Year Player Draft, who was beset by injuries in 2008 and 2009, but has made necessary changes to reach the Majors.
"Just changing my arm slot a little bit," Omogrosso said. "I used to be really long on my back side. Now I've shortened it up, almost taking my arm straight up. It's helping my arm catch up with my body and everything like that. It has kept me much more fluid, throwing strikes and downhill."

A Revealing Look at a State Flagship
May 8, 2013
With college debt skyrocketing as parents and taxpayers foot the bills at large state flagship universities, a new book by sociologists Elizabeth Armstrong and Laura Hamilton reveals the culture of partying that distracts many students and lowers the value of a college education. The book confirms parents' worst fears -- that flagship universities are not worth the top dollar they are paying, says George Leef, director of research for the John William Pope Center for Higher Education Policy.
The book tracks a group of women who lived on one floor of a dorm at a school, purposefully kept anonymous by the author but revealed by Leef to be Indiana University. The book divides the 50 young women into three pathways: the Mobility Pathway, the Professional Pathway and the Party Pathway.
- The Mobility Pathway students come from predominantly lower income families and intend to use college to improve on their parents' economic conditions. Many of the mobility students strive to focus on academic work initially but fall victim to the allure of the party scene. The result is that many did poorly in easy classes and only a few actually landed good jobs after college.
- The Professional Pathway students intend to use their undergraduate years as a means of getting into a career like law or medicine.
- The Party Pathway students are in college to have fun and intend to take the easiest courses that will allows them to get a degree. These students rely on making contacts and earning credentials they need for future success, though many are at risk of experiencing downward mobility.
Sororities and fraternities play a large role in the party atmosphere on flagship campuses because partying requires a lot of time and money, which more affluent Greek members tend to have. Low grade point averages were a problem for many of the 50 women who were tracked throughout and after their experience at Indiana University.
- The authors conclude that school officials don't crack down on excessive partying or get rid of easy majors because it serves the schools interests to keep standards as low as possible to attract more students, many of which are the core of the party atmosphere.
- The authors also conclude that college perpetuates class differences, a conclusion that Leef effectively dispels.
- Instead, Leef points out the logical conclusion from the book that state flagship universities are a waste of time and resources for many students, regardless of class. Regional schools offer lower tuitions and environments more conducive to studying.

There's an awful lot to dislike about the Jets in the wake of Sunday's 23-20 victory over the Lions.
The running game has lost its way, the team remains undisciplined to the extreme and the defense -- the swagger-filled defense designed in the image of Rex Ryan -- seemed to be back on its heels for much of a game against a fairly nonthreatening offense. If not for Darrelle Revis's total domination of Calvin Johnson, there's probably no chance for the Jets to come up with late-game heroics.
Those shortcomings come on the heels of terrible performances against Denver and Green Bay that have made it hard to reconcile the last 180-plus minutes of Jets football with the fact that the team has the best record in the AFC right now. There have been mistakes, a stunning lack of discipline and a distinct odor of overconfidence in all phases of the game. To say that they've been lucky to win two of those three games is an understatement.
It is also, at the end of the day, all that matters going forward. As poorly as the Jets have played, it hasn't cost them anything significant in the standings. They are in first place in the AFC East, they are tied for the best record in football and all the moaning and groaning in the world about how they got there doesn't much matter. You'd much rather be the Jets at this hour than the Patriots, for example. They played a bad football game and couldn't find a way to come away with the victory that the Jets stole in Detroit.
Coming away with that win, and the one in Denver, says a lot about where this football team is as they prepare for the second half of the 2010 season. They take their punches in the mouth, spill a little bit of blood and then, as Ryan says, win games in the championship rounds. Good teams need to win games when they aren't at their best and the Jets have proven capable of doing that so far this season.
Taking the lessons learned over the first eight games, especially the one about how the offense works better when allowed to run full throttle, and applying them will be a major benefit as the season unfolds. The Jets can feel good about that and they can feel good about knowing that they are just scratching the surface of what Revis and Santonio Holmes will bring to the team this season.
Perhaps the greatest sign of better days to come is the way Mark Sanchez led the team back on Sunday because, as every Jets fan is sick of hearing, he is almost certainly the guy who will ultimately make or break them this season. He's done both already this year, but more of the former and that's a significant difference about this team than the one we saw last season.

when I saw your photo I thought it was a girl burying corpses, but is only a funny beach game. Here in Brazil some people do the same.
Great shot.

Nice fun photo from the beach, the boys look very serious though, it seems they are not enjoying being buried. Good timing to capture this fun moment. Thanks for sharing.

Hope this was a theraputic process not a harsh game, Miguel.
Being under seashore sand is maybe "common funny game",

Old stuff well shown.

I am searching for a quilt block pattern to make a submarine quilt for my ex-submariner DH
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I am searching for a quilt block pattern to make a submarine quilt for my ex-submariner DH
I know I saw a submarine in one of the foundation pieced books. I did a google search and it looks like it is in the 365 foundation quilt blocks book. Maybe your local library has it that you can borrow it?
There might be others - I'm sure there are but that's the only one I thought of right off the bat.
if you find one that is fairly relistic please let me know my hubby is a retired bubble head also. A ganger for 20 yrs. he has been asking for a sub quilt but have yet to find a pattern or realistic fabric. Good luck if I find anything my self I will let you know
yep here is what is says about the 365 book
"Its quiltmaking made as simple as paint-by-numbers! With a new method called foundation piecing, you just follow a numerical sequence to stitch fabric onto a foundation. Even the smallest pieces meet precisely, quickly, and accurately. With 365 projects, you could make one every day of the year. Theyre organized month-by-month, so you could make a patriotic quilt with the July blocks; a Thanksgiving quilt in November; a Christmas quilt with the December blocks; or pretty floral quilts with each months flowers. (There are also some whimsical designs such as the yellow submarine that marks the day the Beatles came to America.) Photos of quilts made with blocks for each month accompany the complete instructions for the entire foundation piecing process.nn"
We are on the same page. I do not want a cartoon submarine, or a yellow one. But for me the pattern needs to be simple. I am hoping a quilter that designs patterns will have an idea.

Digital Photographer Philippines 8 and Pentax
Last weekend, the annual Digital Photographer Philippines was and this time, Pentax was a major sponsor of the event. I think everyone there took notice especially when they revealed the limited edition K50 Philippines (just your regular K50 in the Philippine flag colors and just 500 of them will be produced AFAIK) and then literally poured water on it. It was funny on how all of the photographers at front row immediately shielded their cameras and moved away a bit from the main stage.
Almost all the big brands were represented except for Olympus who was a no show and there were tons of discounts on lens and bodies.
I was just happy that Pentax was finally represented and in a big way. There are other photos but I'm just being lazy walking upstairs to get the memory card from my K5II
The local who's who in photography got their stage time and also Eric Kim was a special guest.
Got to talk too with Pentax/Ricoh management from Japan, Pentax is coming out strong and when we asked if there is a FF on the way, he jokingly zipped his lips.
There is no such thing a "Pro" level gear, just Pro level work.

|It is my opinion that you cannot have too many cute pincushions.
Plus, I made it for my Mom.
It's easy to make! Take a look:
I cut out my cookie box pieces from mat board (you don't need a top) and inked them with the new Distress Oxide Inks (love them!) The On the Edge Sewing die parts I cut out of my hoarded Grunge Paper. In retrospect, I could have also used Paper Leather because both have the sturdiness and flexibility to wrap around the box and take the media I painted them with.
I also stamped on the sides of the box.
|Sides are ready to get wrapped and glued!
The "cushion" part is just a circle of fabric with a running stitch around the perimeter. I pulled the stitch tight while filling it with batting. Then I stitched the hole closed so it wouldn't come undone.
To weight the pincushion down, I filled the box with rice. I also made the top more "cushion-like" with a button in the center and heavy thread to divide it into sections.
All that was left to finish it was to use my hot glue gun to glue on the top. I made sure I applied glue all around the edge so no rice could escape. =)
Thanks for stopping by! I am entering this project in the Frilly and Funkie Challenge Blog's current 'Put Your Inking Cap On' challenge. No patterned paper used here! ;-)

Methods of suicide are numerous and inventive, and reasons are often left unstated. Self-inflicted acts bring no physical harm to others, but it is a different circumstance when a person is bent on taking his or her life and the lives of others with them.
Are these people unbalanced, vengeful, publicity seekers, disparaged? Can you identify them ahead of time?
We now wish to embark upon some form of gun culture cleansing. Stop production of violent video games. Limit the production of weapons. Provide more funding for mental health. Install armed guards. All of these actions may have some positive effect to the extent that by doing them we take comfort we are taking action to prevent re-occurrences of a tragic event.
The sad fact is there is very little if anything we can do to prevent the conduct of a person who is intent on killing himself and others as well. It is why suicide bombers are so effective.

Healing process frustrates Johnson
Broken bone in foot still prevents outfielder from running
By Andrew Simon / MLB.com
He was ready to takes some swings in the batting cage.
The problem for Johnson is that more than six weeks after fouling a ball off his left foot, he still can't run, which means he is unable to play. With the season entering its last few weeks, Johnson's chances of returning have dwindled.
"I think in reality, what the guys are thinking now, because there's really no place for me to go and rehab with the Minor League seasons being all wrapped up, is that it's going to be tough for me to try to get some at-bats, get up to the speed of the game that's here, to get back in time," Johnson said.
Johnson's foot is fractured at the arch, making it difficult for him to put any pressure on it. A staunch optimist and tireless worker, he expected to miss three to four weeks, less than what team doctors originally predicted, but it has not turned out that way.
When Cubs pitcher Ryan Dempster fractured a toe earlier this season, the fracture site started to callous over in three weeks, the first sign of the bone healing. But it wasn't until a few days ago, when doctors performed X-rays of Johnson's foot at the six-week mark, that he showed signs of bone callous.
The healing process has crept along at a glacial pace for Johnson, and it has been difficult for him.
"For me, I just love to play baseball, and that's the main thing," he said. "I want to be out on the field every day. You feel like you want to be out there with your teammates as well. You feel like you've gone through the ups and downs of a six-month season, and you want to be with them all the way until the very end."
Johnson has stayed around the team and continued to take batting practice. If his condition makes a sudden and unexpected turn for the better, he wants to get back on the field, even if it's for a couple of games.
"It's a situation for me where I've just got to mentally keep myself sharp and that way, if I wake up one morning and this thing feels better, I'll be ahead of the game in all of the other aspects besides running," Johnson said.
Johnson, who in his last year before free agency was batting .252 with four home runs, admits his propensity for going all out might not have served him well in his rehab this time.
"I'm used to setting goals and reaching them, and it's frustrating when you don't reach a goal like that," he said. "But at the same time, you have to look back and realize it's a fracture, and it's really nothing I can control. A lot of those other goals I can control. It's all about work ethic, but it's almost like in this situation, work ethic might hurt you sometimes. You might not be ready, and you try to pound on it and you might set yourself back a little bit."

Hearing voices that are distressing: Self-help resources and strategies
This article is available in Spanish and Icelandic. See follow-up Article (English)
The National Empowerment Center has a complete curriculum where participants have a simulated experience of what people who hear voices go through on a daily basis.
I have been a voice hearer since childhood, but it was not until my adolescence that I was hospitalized for hearing voices that were distressing. For many years I felt isolated and stigmatized for carrying a label of mental illness and for hearing voices that continued to be distressing for me. Psychiatric drugs did not make my voices "go away" although there were times when I was so drugged I didn't care about anything, including what the voices had to say. Therapists showed little interest in my voice hearing experiences. In fact, during the seventeen years that I was labeled and treated for schizophrenia, my therapists called my voice hearing experiences "auditory hallucinations". They seemed to view my voice hearing experience as nothing but the random fluctuation of neurotransmitters in my brain. In essence they viewed my "auditory hallucinations" as evidence of some sort of "neurotransmitter meltdown".
This attitude of ignoring voice hearers' experience is quite prevalent in the helping professions. For instance, when I consult to programs that provide services to people who hear voices that are distressing, I find it remarkable that staff know so little about the individual's experience. For example, I recently consulted with staff that work in a residential program with a man who hears distressing voices for approximately 80% of his waking hours. This man has been hearing distressing voices for over ten years. Yet if you look at his record all it says is: "Has auditory hallucinations that sometimes command him to hurt himself". In ten years of treatment no one has explored the voice hearing experience with this individual. No staff person has thought to inquire if the voices are male or female. Do they speak English? Are there helpful voices as well as distressing voices? How do you understand the existence of these voices? Are there one or many voices? When do the voices come and when don't they come? Do you have any personal power in relation to the voices-i.e., can you communicate with them, can you reason or bargain with them, can you turn your attention away from them and get involved with another activity, can you tell them you will talk with them later in the evening, etc.?
Indeed, hearing voices seems to be stigmatized not only in the wider Western culture, but also within the mental health community as well. It seems that as a general rule, most mental health staff feel it is taboo to inquire into the voice hearing experience of the people they work with. Of course such stigma and taboo only serve to further isolate those of us who hear voices that are distressing.
The good news is that voice hearers themselves have begun to organize and speak out about the voice hearing experience. Two excellent books:
Hearing Voices: A Self-Help Guide and Reference Book (1993) by John Watkins, Melbourne, Australia. Available online.
Accepting Voices (1998) by Marius Romme and Sandra Escher, MIND Publications, London. These authors have done pioneering work in the areas of listening to the experiences of voice hearers and helping to bring them together to share life strategies. Available online.
There are self-help groups run by and for voice hearers in Europe and now the United States. These groups hold regular meetings to share experiences, publish newsletters, hold conferences, share information and educate professionals and the general public. Hearing Voices groups do not pathologize the experience of hearing voices or experiencing other altered/extreme states, instead they ask what does the experience mean to you?
Through these resources and networks voice hearers are beginning to let the world know that not all experiences of hearing voices are pathological or indicative of mental illness. Many people in Western Judeo/Christian culture have heard voices, including St. Paul, Joan of Arc, St. Francis, Socrates, William Blake, George Fox (founder of the Quakers), the classical music composer Robert Schumann and the psychiatrist Carl Jung. Hearing voices does not automatically mean you are "sick". However, there are clearly voice hearing experiences that can be very distressing and can disrupt our lives and ability to work, make friends, reach our personal goals, etc. Voice hearers are beginning to learn from each other how to creatively cope with and/or eliminate distressing voices. We are learning that we do no have to be victims of our distressing voices. Some self help strategies include these:
There are many, many other self-help techniques for helping to control or eliminate distressing voices. Perhaps you have found some things that work for you. If so, please feel free to write to me and let me know what works for you. I'll keep publishing self help ideas as they come in. Just write your ideas to: our contact form located at www.power2u.org/contact.html.
