Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 126.96.36.199
Forum Moderators: incrediBILL & martinibuster
Just thought I'd share some good news. We had a great August (travel site) - and we're in the UPS club for the first time!
The month started slow, and got better - it was touch and go whether we would make it or not towards the end of the month - and I was reduced to checking the stats every few hours! In the end, we made it with a day to spare.
UPS club wasn't even on my list of goals for this year - I thought it was too far away.
I'm really looking forward to seeing that van drive up the drive!
Now, my next task is to see if we can do it again in September! That'll be a tough one, as our traffic declines month on month from now till December (our lowest month of the year).
AdSense has made a big difference to our business! Thanks Google!

Did you advertise on TV? All I am interested is to get some valuable tips, and then we can share congratulations.
After all of us being a bit irritated because of all these changes in AW/AS this is the kind of good news that shows us what it's all about! Hope your nickname is a good forecast for you ending up in the "7 figure club".
Why ppl will like to get check by UPS when they can get it by EFT?
$10,000 x 0.73 = 7300EUR
$10,000 x 0.82 = 8200EUR
But the opposite can also happen..
Thanks for all the congratulations - much appreciated.
I thought I'd just answer a few of the questions that have been asked by AdSensers in this thread, and hopefully help some others to climb the AdSense income ladder.
Dantol asked:
Why don't you tell us how you managed to earn $10,000 for August?
Did you advertise on TV?
I'm afraid I don't have any secrets to share Dantol - most of it is a summary of best practice that you'll find on this forum:
* Create a lot of high quality, unique, original content.
* Ensure your content is search engine friendly, but don't follow SEO fads - you're in this for the long haul
* Leverage the power of technology where possible - we use databases to make our content as useful as possible for site visitors, and to enable us to keep our site (> 10,000 pages) up to date.
* Measure and test everything. The results of your advertising, impact of changes to site design, your AdSense placement, everything.
* Keep reading and learning. Forums, ebooks, print books - both specialist webmaster, and general business. This is an information business - and the person with the most relevant knowledge, applied through hard work, wins. So keep learning.
* When things look impossible (as they did for us a few years ago) - if you have faith in your idea, you just need to keep going regardless. If you have a basically sound idea, persistance, and sheer bloody-minded determination can get you a long way.
TV Ads? No - definitely not. Some of our competitors advertise on TV - and it seems to do them very little good - certainly in terms of driving traffic. I believe there's a HUGE online/offline gap - and offline ads, whether in print or on TV are a poor way to drive traffic online.
Brokenbricks asked:
When did you start your site? How much did you in earn in your very first month?
We started more than five years ago. And earned absolutely nothing in our first month. (From memory, I think we earned practically nothing in the first 6 months). Of course, that was long before AdSense anyway. There were two of us full-time when we started out, now we have a few more people (mainly part-time). Once the earnings started to come (mainly from affiliate programs), we re-invested them by employing people, and growing the site.
Thanks again for all your kind words: It's especially nice to have inspired people to continue working at their businesses. Web publishing is a fantastic business to be in - a lot of hard work, and all-consuming at times, but fantastic all the same. You can do very well financially, have the freedom to work from home, set your own hours (but lots of them!), and live anywhere in the world you want.
Keep going for it!

Tutorial: How to Make and Render Super Realistic 3d Grass with 3DS MAX
In this tutorial we will show the procedure of making a grassy field in order to enhance realism in our exterior architectural visualizations. Therefore we will first model and texture the 3d grass blades and afterwards use a "Scatter Plugin" to randomly distribute the single blades of a large surface. With this technique you can create super realistic grass and lawn for your next exterior architectural rendering project.
Usually most private residences are surrounded by yards with short cut lawn so we should be able to render this kind of "foreground" on our own for your next architectural visualization job. In addition we share our grass blade textures with you, so grab this free download! But now let´s get started! (more…)
Architectural Visualization Tutorial: Modern Residence with 3DS MAX + Corona Renderer
In this tutorial Apostolos from Greece will show us his workflow for an architecture visualization project with 3DS MAX and the free Corona Renderer which creates pretty good photorealistic renderings. You should check it out!
Background of this architectural rendering job
In this tutorial we will try to go through the basic steps of architectural visualization using one of our recent projects. The client requested to create a number of still visuals of a new modern-classic private residence with a big lawn garden, placed in Athens, Greece.
We had a very tight deadline so when we finished the project and delivered the stills (clear sky shots), we had the time and the chance to work further on our project to improve the overall quality and play around with different setups (cloudy mood and night shots). I want to share with you the different steps as well as the lessons learned in this project. (more…)
Lighting Architecture Interior Scenes with HDRI Images (3DS Max + VRay Tutorial)
Image based HDRI lightning compared to alternative techniques
There are a variety of lighting techniques to use when creating an exterior light source for architectural interiors. Some artists like to use a standard direct light while others prefer a simulated sun and sky, such as the v-ray sun. While both of these methods are effective, I find that the lighting produced lacks the subtle imperfections and variations of reality. The most realistic lighting can be achieved by using image-based lighting. (more…)
3ds MAX and VRay Tutorial: Basic daylight interior visualization for beginners – Render like a photographer

I would love to call my approach rendering through the eye of a photographer. I think this is the best way for you to learn how to render without knowing a thousand of parameter. I will go through following steps to explain my method: (more…)

A Year of Cool Comics – Day 160
Here is the latest in our year-long look at one cool comic (whether it be a self-contained work, an ongoing comic or a run on a long-running title that featured multiple creative teams on it over the years) a day (in no particular order whatsoever)! Here's the archive of the moments posted so far!
Today we take a look at a one-off issue of Nightwing that was ranked #11 on the Greatest Chuck Dixon Stories Ever Told! – Nightwing #25 by Dixon and Scott McDaniel!
The set-up for this one-off issue of Nightwing (set during the strange little period between the Gotham Earthquake and No Man's Land) is easily explained, as we'll see on these next few pages…
That's the set-up for the rest of the issue – Nightwing and Robin, Batman's two "boys," hanging out on a train blindfolded talking.
Dixon was the writer on the titles of both characters at the time, so he definitely had each of their "voices" down pat, and he could reference stuff that perhaps a writer not as familiar with each character would miss out on (like Robin's girlfriend, Stephanie Brown, being pregnant at the time).
In any event, that's what the issue was – a lot of strong character work, like when Robin teases Dick about the women he's dated…
Dixon also makes sure to throw in some active danger, and McDaniel draws it well (he is a great action artist), and Dixon does a nice job explaining the point of this seemingly silly exercise…
Later on, they also encounter some thieves, just so there's SOME fighting in the issue – but otherwise it was just heartfelt discussions between two characters who really did not get as much of a chance to interact in the comics.
And the issue ends with a major change in Dick Grayson's life – making it a proper ending to a 25th issue.
This was a strong issue.

The Courier Debates: Dundee biomass
Dr Joe Akunna, from the University of Abertay Dundee, will be taking part in The Courier's debate about Dundee's proposed biomass plant tonight (Wednesday, May 1).
The debate has been arranged for local people to ask questions and find out more about the proposal, which has proved controversial.
Although Forth Energy, the company behind the scheme, have said that pollution from the plant would be negligible, this assertion has been contested by environmentalists and many people in the local community.
The aim of the debate is to inform local residents of the likely effects of the proposed plant, and Dr Akunna will be on the panel to answer questions related to how the technology behind the proposed woodchip-burning energy-plant would work.
Dr Akunna is Reader in Environmental Engineering at Abertay University and specialises, among other things, in the treatment and management of pollution arising from industrial activities.
He will be on the panel, alongside a range of other experts:
The environmental argument against the proposal will be put forward by Andrew Llanwarne – Co-ordinator of Friends of the Earth in Tayside – who has questioned the plant's green credentials.
Sandra Burke – Chief Executive of Dundee and Angus Chamber of Commerce – will address the question of whether the plant will put Dundee on the map as a centre for the renewables industry and whether it will help boost the city's economy.
Professor Andrew Watterstone – Director of Public Health and Population Health Research at Stirling University – will be there to answer the public health questions.
And, arguing in favour of the proposal, will be Calum Wilson – Managing Director of Forth Energy.
The debate will begin at 7pm in the Gardyne Theatre on Wednesday, May 1 and will be chaired by Steve Bargeton, Deputy Editor of The Courier.

The Ryan Hurd/Will Weatherly/Nicole Galyon co-written and Jeff Ray directed video was given its world premiere yesterday by CMT.

I'll be staying for several days in Manhattan Beach on business, and I'm looking for some good options so I don't have to resort to California Pizza Kitchen. Preference for asian cuisines or middle eastern/ Mediterranean, but anything yummy will do.
I've tried searching the board, but have mostly found threads about what a culinary wasteland Manhattan Beach is.
Surely it's not that bad? I'm just looking for one or two good spots to get takeout from, or enjoy while reading a book. I'd be willing to drive a little if that's what it takes.

Military police at Canadian Forces Base Gagetown are investigating an act of vandalism after the tank at its main entrance was covered with profanity and swastikas over the long weekend.
The Sherman tank is now covered with a blue tarp as the investigation into who covered the monument with graffiti is continuing.
Vandals spray-painted the monument with the offensive symbols, profanity and the term "Pongo," a slang term for infantry soldiers.
The actions have offended many people living in Oromocto as well as veterans.
CFB Gagetown is Oromocto's largest employer and the town is very sensitive to the vandalism.
"You know what great things the soldiers are doing, you know what great things the veterans have done for us," said Dick Isabelle, the town's chief administrative officer.
"And to see people disrespect them that way is just really hard to comprehend a motive."
John Tringham stopped to take a look the covered tank on Tuesday afternoon. He is visiting Oromocto from London, Ont., this week, while attending his son's military graduation
Tringham had strong words for the vandals.
"He's here ... for the country, our country. He will help defend it and defend other countries and to have something like this — they are just cowards," Tringham said.
'It's sort of a sacrilege because it's there for a purpose to remember the past and the people that rode in them.' — Fred Barnaby, veteran
The vandalism was a hot topic at the weekly crib tournament at the Oromocto legion on Tuesday evening.
Patrick Parker, the president of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 93, said the actions of the vandals were "disgraceful."
"It's disrespectful to all of the veterans but not only the veterans but to all the people in the community and in Canada," he said.
Fred Barnaby, a veteran, said defacing the tank is extremely offensive.
"It's sort of a sacrilege because it's there for a purpose to remember the past and the people that rode in them," Barnaby said.

Budget Talks in Olympia
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - State budget negotiators are optimistic that a deal can be reached as early as this weekend. Top lawmakers from both parties and chambers emerged from a meeting last night saying they were able to settle several issues. They declined to discuss details and said there was still work to be done in negotiating how to manage a projected shortfall of $5 billion.

The inaugural Udemy LIVE conference just happened, and I had the honor and pleasure of attending it. To help me (and to hopteachabefully help you) grasp what just happened, I've come up with my list of 9 key takeaways from Udemy Live.
Meeting my fellow instructors and the Udemy team created such energy and enthusiasm that I struggled to fall asleep last night, upon arriving home. I was so excited to wake up Monday morning, and start implementing the strategies taught in the many amazing workshops, presentations, and conversations from the weekend.
In no particular order, here we go!
P.S. Tomorrow I'll be posting a behind the scenes video to my YT Channel. Or watch below at the end of this article.
1. Udemy is the NOW (and the future)
During Seth Godin's keynote address, he was asked what he thought was the next big thing for online education. His response, challenged me to think about how I run my business while bringing clarity too.
Instead of worrying about the future, let's care about the now.
Right now, Udemy is where it's at. Right now, Udemy is the best platform for sharing knowledge with the world (and monetizing it). Right now, Udemy is poised to be a longterm success that changes the world of education in ways we might not even comprehend yet.
Instead of wondering what is next (what's the next platform, what's the next type of course, what's the next marketing trick), we need to focus on what's working right now. For me, Udemy is what's working. It's worked in ways that I am forever grateful since I joined in September, 2012. And while I've experimented with other platforms and strategies, often times getting caught up in timely detours, Udemy has been there improving and growing. Why not focus on what's working now, and be the best at it?
This brings me to my next takeaway…
2. Choose to Be Great at Your Thing, NOT Mediocre at Many Things
I pride myself as someone that can wear many hats. As an entrepreneur and founder of Video School Online Inc., I wear the video creator, teacher, blogger, marketer, accountant, legal, promotion, and HR hats every week. To promote courses, I post YouTube videos, write articles, host webinars, join podcasts, post on social media, build sales funnels. The list could go on.
I'm not amazing at all of these things.
I'd like to think I'm good at some of them. But I know that I'm pretty bad with a few (social media, webinars).
Why do I try to do all of these things? Because every time I open up my Facebook feed or email, I see people suggesting these strategies (and more) to grow my business.
What I've failed to understand is that if I focused on just one, I could be great at it.
To be financially smart, I like to spread out my streams of income. But why should I do that so much so that I actually hurt my other streams? I'll bet you that if instead of worrying about other platforms or even trying to promote my courses in 100+ ways, I just spent my time focusing on building better, remarkable, courses on Udemy, that I'd be 2 – 10x better than where I'm at right now.
As many of you know, I've had a lot of success on Udemy. So to think about that really means a lot.
Seth Godin admitted that he isn't good at social media. He doesn't like tweeting. What he does like is writing. That's what he does, every day. He's become successful because he does that.
When new social media platforms snap onto the Internet, he doesn't jump on board right away because he prides himself on being a great writer, and knows that by doing so he would hurt his writing.
This has challenged me to think about what I do. Maybe I need to simplify. Maybe I need to focus more. Do what I love (creating course), but make them even better. Let go of some of the other things.
3. Create Remarkable Content that is Shared
Not all of these takeaways will be from Seth Godin's address, I promise. But these first few are so intertwined and important that I have to group them together.
People don't just want information when they buy a Udemy course. If they did, they could find that information for free elsewhere, and wouldn't purchase courses on Udemy. This is similar to how people paying $200k+ to learn how to program at MIT. It's not for the information. It's for the piece of paper, for the story – to paraphrase Godin.
People want to partake in something they can share.
When creating any content, we need to think in those terms.
How do we create content that people want to share?
First we have to make it remarkable (high quality, interesting, engaging). If we do that, it will most likely be shared by whomever is consuming our content.
We also need to think about the share-ability while creating the course. It has to be inherently shareable. How we actually do that with an online course is a bit tricky, and something I'll be working on over the next years.
4. Your Tribe is More Important than Any Platform
By creating remarkable content that is shared (YouTube videos, courses, blog articles, social media posts, etc), you will start to build a tribe of followers.
Your tribe likes, knows, and trusts you.
Gaining the trust of your followers is the ultimate goal, and if you can achieve that in whatever you do, you'll never struggle to earn a living.
To build your tribe you can use tools like social media groups, an online course, or an email list. This tribe will follow you wherever you go.
Seth Godin talked about using TypePad to host his blog. Whether he's using TypePad or WordPress doesn't matter. It's just a way to share his art/work. What matters is having a loyal tribe of trusting followers.
If TypePad disappears, he can always move to WordPress, and 99.9% of his followers wouldn't care.
This idea is the one that will change how I run my online course business more than any other.
To be completely open and honest, I've always been afraid of finances (and more specifically, being financially unsound). That's why over the past few months I started promoting courses hosted with a Teachable account. I was preemptively preparing for slower sales on Udemy. While the pricing change did effect my sales (down 25% in April, 10% in May from 2015s average), I think part of the drop was because I switched my promotion strategy.
I take part of the blame.
I started to think about what would happen if Udemy disappeared. Would I be able to earn a living with my online courses? Initially, it would be difficult. And that's why I started building my own course site, to 'have more control' of my income.
Now that I think about it, this has probably hurt more than benefitted. I've split my tribe. I've created confusion for people trying to access my courses. Why are they on Udemy and Teachable? Which one should I buy?
I now believe that it doesn't matter if I build up my own course platform, and it is probably hurting me because if I have a loyal following of students, they'll come with me wherever I go. Promoting my courses on Udemy is probably better (something Mark Timberlake had explained in an appearance on our Passive Income Show). This brings me to my next takeaway.
5. Drive Traffic to Udemy Course Landing Pages
I've started to build a tribe, but it's still small and not as strong as I'd love it to be. I need to focus on building trust first. And for now (and hopefully many years, decades, forever) Udemy is where I should host and promote my courses.
Not only is it financially the best decision (they only charge a 3% transaction fee for any course sale I make), but there's other benefits of being in their marketplace.
Social Proof
Seeing thousands of students and hundreds of reviews will help people make a purchase decision.
When I drive traffic to my course landing pages on Udemy and they don't purchase, Udemy will step in and start targeting those visitors with ads for my courses. I don't have to do any of that myself. All I need to do is drive traffic to Udemy.
Competition is good. A popular analogy is about opening up a shoe store. Studies show that you'll be more successful opening up a shoe store on a street full of shoe stores than on the other side of town where there are none.
Seth Godin likened this to authors. Authors love selling their books in book stores. People go in with the idea of buying a book. If every author set up their own little stand on the street corner, they would struggle much more to make sales.
In that vein, we aren't even competitors. We are all instructors with our own unique selling proposition building our own tribes. Udemy is the best place to put our courses and earn money from them, and if Udemy wins, we all win.
6. Pricing Shouldn't Be a Barrier to Education
Early Saturday afternoon, we all sat down with Udemy CEO Dennis Yang and founder Eren Bali. VP of Content Grégory Boutté asked them questions about the founding of Udemy and where Udemy is headed.
Udemy's mission, which clearly came across throughout the weekend, is to help anyone in the world become the person they want to be through education.
To do that, education has to be accessible. To be accessible, education has to be affordable.
People shouldn't have to worry about price when choosing what they want to learn.
Founder Bali used the analogy of going to the movies. What if movie prices were different based off of the actors or genre? What if the latest action flick was $60 and the indie comedy was $5? That makes the decision a lot harder. Is the $60 film 12 times better than the $5 movie?
Why make that decision harder for the student?
If you put courses on Udemy, you should realize, accept, and support this mission. And because of this, the pricing change makes a lot more sense.
If you want to charge higher for your courses because you think you can make more money from them or believe that they're honestly more valuable than $20 – $50, then that's okay. You can use another platform.
While CEO Yang and Bali would love for you to put all of your courses on Udemy, they realize this and accept it. Udemy isn't for every type of online course (right now, and who knows if it ever will be).
I admit to getting caught up in wanting to make more, more, more money with my courses. When I do, I end up creating mediocre (or bad) courses. Strip that inclination away, I do believe in their mission. I don't create online courses to just make money. I make money to educate and help other people.
Fortunately, Udemy does provide an amazing income that allows me to create more and better courses.
Two More Positives about the Price Change
Aside from this golden nugget about why pricing change is better, they also shared some great data that shows an increase in student engagement (i.e. better for you and me to build trusting tribe) and course sales price (i.e. more money for you and me when we create higher quality courses that people love).
7. Target Your Specific Student Type
Veronica Spindler, Claire Menke, and Sara Hooker of the Udemy team led the first breakout session I attended on Saturday. With all of data that Udemy collects, they've segmented their student population into roughly 7 types of learners. These ranged from millennial learners who are just out of college looking for new skills on the cheap to lifelong learners who care about continued education and have more money to spend.
Knowing these different types of personalities helps course creators in a number of ways. Primarily, we're able to better create courses with that audience in mind through style and tone of voice. And just as important, we're able to promote specifically to that type of person.
I've personally found (and Udemy's data team backs this up) that my worst reviews come from people whose expectations for the course were not met.
My After Effects course wasn't advanced enough. My Photography Masterclass lessons were too basic.
This is feedback that I constantly hear. How do I fix this issue? I can either try to create a course that matches that student's feedback or I can make sure that people who enroll in the course know exactly what to expect.
Being more specific is easier and more important. Through the sales copy and promo video, we need to make sure that whoever reads or watches it understands exactly what the course is about. If they do, and they enroll, then they're going to have a great experience.
If what you say you are offering matches what you actually offer, there's no way anyone that purchases your course can feel cheated.
This great experience translates into great reviews, great shares, and more sales.
8. Don't Trick People Into Buying Your Course
When asked about how to use ads (Google, Facebook, etc.) to promote courses, Seth Godin responded with some great truths about advertising. He ultimately dissuaded us from using ads to sell our products because instead of ads, we should be selling our courses by word of mouth.
People should enroll in our remarkable courses, share that with their circle, and that's how we get more sales.
He admits that it is possible to sell courses with ads (or anything with ads), but the way most people use ads is to try to trick someone into buying something.
Ads pop up in the most inconvenient times – at the beginning of a YouTube video, above the actual search results, when you're trying to connect with people on social media. The only way to get someone to click on an ad includes some for of visual and textual trickery.
Not only is it hard for us as individual instructors to be able to make money from using ads, but we should be more focused on just growing our tribe of followers organically with amazing content (free or accessibly priced).
9. It's About Actual People
Aside from the amazing workshops and presentations, there was an even better reason for attending Udemy Live. Meeting people whom I've talked to online for years, face to face, was absolutely incredible. I don't even want to try to list all of the instructors whom I spoke to, so I won't. You know if you're one of them.
Meeting you, hanging out with you, laughing with you, and learning with you shows the power of Udemy. Everyone there is changing the world. Everyone there just sort of clicked. There was no competitive spirit. There was just openness and smiles.
Meeting the Udemy team was just as incredible. While I've been lucky enough to meet some of you before, it still amazes me how passionate about you are about your jobs at Udemy. Whether you were passionate from the start, or just became passionate about your job (like Seth Godin encourages), it was apparent.
Hearing from you, from your brains and from your hearts, and where you believe Udemy is going is inspiring. Understanding the thought process behind your decisions was eye opening. I hope everyone who teaches on Udemy gets to one day meet the amazing team that creates, maintains, and grows this platform.
Lastly, meeting students brought it all home. Many of the instructors I met had taken a course of mine. They didn't just take my course on how to teach online. They took my After Effects course, my photography course, my video editing in Premiere Pro course. Seeing how I've made a small impression on you, reminds me of why I love creating online courses.
There are actual people learning from me. That's amazing. I feel humbled and in awe of how Udemy connects instructors with people from around the world. And meeting people from Holland, Australia, Pakistan, Switzerland, Canada, India, and around the globe who have taken my courses face to face, really meant a lot.
Thank you Udemy.
I cannot wait to attend next years Udemy LIVE event, wherever it may be. It was a weekend to remember, and one that will spring board me to some of the most productive and authentic (perhaps consistent) things I do.
What do you think? For those of you who attended Udemy LIVE, what takeaways did you have? Post a comment below with your top one!

It was all part of man's greatest adventure--landing men on the Moon and sending a rover to Mars, finally seeing the edge of the universe and the birth of stars, and launching planetary explorers across the solar system to Neptune and beyond.
The ancient dream of breaking gravity's hold and taking to space became a reality only because of the intense cold-war rivalry between the superpowers, with towering geniuses like Wernher von Braun and Sergei Korolyov shelving dreams of space travel and instead developing rockets for ballistic missiles and space spectaculars. Now that Russian archives are open and thousands of formerly top-secret U.S. documents are declassified, an often startling new picture of the space age emerges:
the frantic effort by the Soviet Union to beat the United States to the Moon was doomed from the beginning by gross inefficiency and by infighting so treacherous that Winston Churchill likened it to "dogs fighting under a carpet";
there was more than science behind the United States' suggestion that satellites be launched during the International Geophysical Year, and in one crucial respect, Sputnik was a godsend to Washington;
the hundred-odd German V-2s that provided the vital start to the U.S. missile and space programs legally belonged to the Soviet Union and were spirited to the United States in a derring-do operation worthy of a spy thriller;
despite NASA's claim that it was a civilian agency, it had an intimate relationship with the military at the outset and still does--a distinction the Soviet Union never pretended to make;
constant efforts to portray astronauts and cosmonauts as "Boy Scouts" were often contradicted by reality;
the Apollo missions to the Moon may have been an unexcelled political triumph and feat of exploration, but they also created a headache for the space agency that lingers to this day.
This New Ocean is based on 175 interviews with Russian and American scientists and engineers; on archival documents, including formerly top-secret National Intelligence Estimates and spy satellite pictures; and on nearly three decades of reporting. The impressive result is this fascinating story--the first comprehensive account--of the space age. Here are the strategists and war planners; engineers and scientists; politicians and industrialists; astronauts and cosmonauts; science fiction writers and journalists; and plain, ordinary, unabashed dreamers who wanted to transcend gravity's shackles for the ultimate ride. The story is written from the perspective of a witness who was present at the beginning and who has seen the conclusion of the first space age and the start of the second.
From the Hardcover edition.
The theme of this oversized paperback is nothing less than a comprehensive overview of mankind's reaching out to the vast ocean of outer space surrounding our island Earth. Veteran journalist and space writer William Burrows takes the reader from the myth of Daedalus all the way down to the present Mars probes; the book was a contender for the Pulitzer Prize for History in 1999. The subject is almost too large to cover in a single volume, but it must be said that Burrows has neglected nothing. The speculations of visionaries like Tsiolkovsky and Jules Verne, the experiments of Robert Goddard and the work of scientific gadflies like Hermann Oberth all provide perspective to the mighty events of our own era. Nor is the book a mere summary of NASA's epic projects. Throughout the years of Mercury, Gemini and Apollo, the Soviets' own space program is presented as a counterpoint to America's systematic march to the Moon. The Space Race won, Burrows deftly shifts to the Shuttle program, the controversies over the proposed Space Station, and to the current Mars explorers. The military element of space exploration is covered as well, with an excellent discussion of the Strategic Defense Initiativethe "Star Wars" missile defense systemand its most recent iterations. The book is a useful antidote to those who think that space exploration began with Sputnik and climaxed with Neil Armstrong's walk on the Moon. It is, however, neither a simple reprise of exciting space flights nor a facile and upbeat overview of mankind's space triumphs. Much of it is a sophisticated study of policies and budgets, of personality clashes and the inner workings of the scientific and political councils. Thebook's huge scope means that individual space missionseven the most famousare discussed only in passing, as part of the larger theme. This New Ocean is clearly directed to the serious adult reader, and in many ways it is more for the aerospace community than the casual student. Advanced YAs, however, will be able to glean much from it. Recommended to appropriate school libraries and all adult collections.

Steinberg Presents HALion String Edition 2Update to Steinberg's orchestral string VSTi available in August 2005 (July 13, 2005)
Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH is pleased to announce the much-anticipated update to its renowned HALion String Edition VSTi product. HALion String Edition 2 offers a total of 9GB of solo and ensemble strings, and integrates Steinberg's award-winning HALion sampling technology with a specially recorded sound library to form a unique, sonically outstanding multi-purpose virtual string orchestra.
"Our main aim with this update is to expand the HALion String Edition to capture the full sonic range and emotional depth of orchestral string sounds, while keeping the functionality accessible and the price affordable," says Steinberg's Director of Product Management Claus Menke. "But this is also technologically probably the most advanced product of its type available, with many technologies already available in other award-winning Steinberg products," Menke continues.
HALion String Edition 2 includes 9 GB of sounds performed by one of Europe's leading orchestras, which was recorded in 24-bit and using top grade recording equipment. Included are solo and ensemble strings in a large variety of articulations including, crescendo, trills, up and down bowing, portamento and many more. HALion String Edition 2 also features RealAmbience, a new technique that offers a full, 3D concert hall sound with no artificial reverb.
During the recording and production phases, particular attention was paid to achieving a warm and emotive yet detailed and precise sound that sits just as well in an RnB mix as in a classical arrangement. Features such as the sound browser window also make the full breadth of sounds contained in HALion String Edition 2 readily accessible, and the unique Q-Controls allow easy control of the most important sound-shaping parameters.
HALion String Edition 2 offers several technologies to maximise efficiency in its use of the computer's CPU and RAM resources.

CIOs were asked, "In your opinion, what effect has the increased use of mobile electronic gadgets -- such as cell phones, smartphones, hand held devices and laptops -- had on workplace etiquette in the past three years? Have the number of breaches in workplace etiquette increased, decreased or remained the same?"
Their responses:
Willmer added that it's easy to inadvertently offend people when you're moving too quickly. "The best communicators take time to consider the most appropriate medium for the message."
Robert Half identifies five types of tech-etiquette offenders, and offers tips for making sure you're not one of them:
The Misguided Multitasker - This person thinks that e-mailing or texting during a meeting or conversation demonstrates efficiency. But others may regard it as a sign he prizes his BlackBerry more than the company he keeps. Unless you want to create potential animosity at work, use your handheld device only in an urgent situation and step out of the room to reply.
The E-mail Addict - If you've ever played e-mail tag with a colleague, you've likely encountered this person. She relies on a constant stream of e-mails, instant messages or texts to communicate all of her needs, often thinking it will save time. But excessive messaging, particularly regarding trivial things, can be inefficient and disruptive. Often a phone call or in-person discussion can resolve issues more quickly.
The Broadcaster - This person has no shame when it comes to using his cell phone anytime, anywhere (including open office halls and the public restroom) to discuss anything. When using your cell phone in common areas, it's not only disrespectful but also potentially off-putting to others. Keep private conversations limited to private places.
The Cyborg - Rare is the chance you see this person without the blinking glow of a Bluetooth headset or iPod ear bud nestled in her ear. Keeping a wireless earpieces or headphones constantly plugged in signals to others who may need to speak to you that your attention is not available. Show that you are accessible to your colleagues by using earpieces in the office with discretion and consideration for those around you.
The Distractor - This person may have good intentions in setting his phone to vibrate rather than torturing colleagues with a cheesy ring tone, but hearing it repeatedly buzz loudly on a desktop or during a meeting can be just as distracting. A better solution: Set your phone to silent or keep it in your pocket.
About the Survey
The national survey was developed by Robert Half Technology, a provider of IT professionals on a project and full-time basis, and conducted by an independent research firm. The survey is based on more than 1,400 telephone interviews with CIOs from a random sample of U.S. companies with 100 or more employees.

Classic Tide Timer
Tide Timers are easier to understand and more readily accessible than printed tide tables. The red ball hand always shows how many hours until your next high or low tide because the Tide Timer runs on moon time, where each day has 24 hours and 50 1/2 minutes. Especially along the East Coast of the United States and Canada, the tidal cycles are regular and rhythmic with two high and two low tides during each lunar day.Tide Timers are assembled in the USA by hand using the most accurate battery-operated quartz movements. Tide Timers are recommended for use on both Coasts of the United States and Canada. Tide clocks will not work in the Gulf of Mexico.

This file refers to the Subject Access Request I sent to MI5 on 10 December 2001, and should be read in conjunction with the webpage at this location. I spoke to Peter Clarke of the Office of the Information Commissioner immediately prior to sending the SAR. He told me that if my application was refused then I could make a request for assessment to OIC. I sent the following letter to Peter Clarke on 4 January 2002;
Dear Mr Clarke,
Following our telephone conversation of 10 December 2001, I sent a subject access request (attached) to the Security Service on the same day. They responded in a letter dated 19 December 2001 (photocopy attached). I have not yet responded to their letter, because it raises some questions which I would ask for your advice.
Paragraph 4 of their letter says that under their certificate Z5137696 only three categories of personal data processing are notified, namely personnel records, CCTV, and suppliers/contractors. The first sentence of paragraph 5 of their letter says "Personal data acquired by the Service in pursuit of its statutory functions has not been notified." Looking at their entry on your register, they are entirely correct in their statement.
However, there is a question raised; is it legally permitted for a UK organisation to decline notification of its main data uses, without a valid exemption certificate? I notice the Secret Intelligence Service MI6, certificate Z5346873, notify only one purpose, Staff Administration, but they decline notification of their main data with the statement "This data controller also processes personal data which is exempt from notification". The Norman Baker decision establishes that currently no such exemption exists for MI5.
The rest of paragraph 5 of the letter states MI5 will claim an exemption under Section 28 of the DPA, as they did shortly following Mr Baker's subject access request. My understanding of the paragraph is that, for my specific case, they will request the Home Secretary to issue a new certificate to block access to any personal data they may have. I would then have to take the same route as Mr Baker, by appeal to the Information Tribunal. I am unsure if my interpretation of paragraph 5 is correct. If other persons' SARs have been allowed, then there would appear to be particularity; if other persons have received similar statements and been refused without basis in law, then it would appear to be a matter for the attention of the Information Commissioner's office.
Yours sincerely,
The reason personal data has not been notified is because Blunkett's certificate exempts them from the notification provisions of the Data Protection Act. They acquired this certificate on 10 December 2001, which coincidentally is exactly the same date as I made the SAR. I spoke again to Clarke on 14 January 2002; he mentioned Blunkett's assurance that data would be released unless National Security were genuinely involved. Again I spoke to Clarke on 25 January 2002; he said he'd written to me enclosing a request for assessment form; IC's powers are to ensure data controller complies with DPA; it is up to DC to raise exemptions; IC's job is to regulate non-compliance with DPA, if offence may have been committed; he sent me the following letter that day.
On 4 March 2002 I spoke again to Peter Clarke; I told him that on 28/Feb/2002 MI5 wrote to say the cheque should be made payable to "Royal Bank of Scotland", which amounted to timewasting, since a reasonable data controller would not take 2.5 months to figure out the payee was wrong. Clarke replied that they shouldn't delay for another 40 days just because the payee was incorrect. I wrote again to Mr Clarke on 25 March 2002;
Dear Mr Clarke,
Further to our correspondence some weeks ago. The Security Service has made a disclosure to my subject access request. Their response (copy attached) is very brief, and consists only of notes from material, with no original material whatsoever. I will be making a request for assessment to you, and I may wish to appeal to the Information Tribunal, on the basis that the data that is sought does not fall within the definition of "national security." However, before I make a request for assessment to you, I wish to ask some questions regarding these processes. Some of the questions are underlined, but I would ask you to answer as much as possible, to allow me to understand the applicable legislation and procedures, and possible courses of action.
(1) The assessment process. I understand this is governed by s42/s43 of the Data Protection Act 1998. Under s43(1) you may serve on the Security Service an "information notice" requiring them to reveal to you all relevant data. s48 gives the Security Service the right of appeal to the Data Protection Tribunal against your information notice.
s43(8) gives the Security Service the right to withhold information if it would reveal that they have committed an offence under any law other than DPA98. I am somewhat concerned by this clause, since my belief is that MI5 have committed many offences under other laws, so 43(8) would appear to offer them an exemption for the wrong reasons. Is my understanding of s43(8) correct? They may or may not have a warrant to carry out their activities; if they do have a warrant then their activities will be in compliance with the law; if they have a warrant then will s43(8) apply?
How does the Information Commissioner carry out an assessment, if the grounds on which it is made are that the data controller has incorrectly used the national security exemption; does the data controller have to tell your office whether data is being withheld because of the national security exemption, do they have to give you the exempted data, or are they not obliged to reveal the existence and contents of that data? If the latter is the case then the assessment process has no meaning since your powers in enforcing the Act would be severely limited.
(2) Statistics. Does the Information Commissioner publish statistics on the performance of her office with regards to the number of requests for assessment received each year, how many are carried out and how many refused, and how many prosecutions and convictions under DPA98 occur each year? A few years ago I communicated with the secretary of the then Security Service Tribunal, who advised me of the statistics for that Tribunal, including the startling figure of zero for successful complaints. Following that correspondence I decided against another complaint to his office. In the last two years I have made two requests for assessment, both of which your office has refused.
(3) The data MI5 have returned so far. They have not returned any printouts of data or original letters, as most data controllers would have done, merely notes from data. Are they able to limit returned data in this way, or can we expect original material, perhaps censored, to be disclosed?
(4) The definition of "national security". We spoke on the phone about this some weeks ago, and I think you told me the term could mean whatever MI5 or the Home Secretary wished. I have (twice) asked MI5 to define the term, and they have refused to answer. Their letter of 20 March 2002 says they "respond in this letter" to my questions on this subject, but in fact they do not respond at all to the question.
There has to be a precise answer to the definition; it is wrong for the definition to be applied nebulously on a case-by-case basis. The Security Service Act 1989, s1(2) says;
The function of the Service shall be the protection of national security and, in particular, its protection against threats from espionage, terrorism and sabotage, from the activities of agents of foreign powers and from actions intended to overthrow or undermine parliamentary democracy by political, industrial or violent means.
s1(3) talks about safeguarding economic well-being, but does not bring it under the umbrella of national security.
The Security Service Act 1996 s1(1) amends the 1989 Act by allowing MI5 "to act in support of ... police forces ... in the prevention and detection of serious crime." The new added section is 1(4) in the 1989 Act, so "serious crime" is not part of national security either. In any case, MI5's interest in me started in 1990, so this paragraph should be inapplicable. An additional observation is that a data controller may withhold data if it is for the prevention or detection of crime, serious or otherwise; would this exemption apply to the security service?
Can you offer a written definition of "national security", or is this something for which I should write to some other party? I cannot ask MI5 a third time, perhaps the Home Secretary's office would be placed to define the term.
(5) Supporting data to the assessment. I had a correspondence for years (1996-1998) with a person (Mr Stone) who was known on an internet group as having contacts with police type authorities, and who claimed to be in contact with an MI5 liaison. Two weeks after MI5 received my complaint and details from the Security Service Tribunal, Mr Stone published my personal details, name and address, which I had hitherto not disclosed to anyone on the net, on an internet discussion group. He claimed the data was from the BBC, which they denied orally and in writing. In January 2002 I asked the Information Commissioner to investigate this presumed breach of the Data Protection Act, and she refused.
Should I sent you the emails between myself and Mr Stone, in support of the assessment? I think it would be valuable for you to have this information.
(6) Information Tribunal. I understand it is possible to appeal to this tribunal, on the basis that the data MI5 are withholding has nothing to do with national security. MI5 do not say this in their letter to me, but another person has sent me the letter MI5 sent in response to his SAR which says so.
Can you give me some basic understanding of the procedure involved in such an appeal; such as whether MI5 would have to disclose to the tribunal what data they have on me, for the tribunal members to make their minds up; whether I should seek to instruct a solicitor for this procedure (presumably yes); how a tribunal is constructed, whether it is a hearing with all present, or whether it is done in absentia on written documentation only; the approximate time before the case is heard (how many months), and whether costs for the hearing are borne by the losing party, as usually happens in a court hearing. I have no knowledge as to the operation of the Information Tribunal, so if you could provide some understanding I would be most grateful.
Would your advice be to pursue an assessment first, or to initiate an appeal at the same time as the assessment? Additionally I understand that Mr Baker went to judicial review regarding the previous exemption certificate, and the Tribunal agreed with the court's decision. My understanding of the judicial review process is that it aims to tackle methods of achieving decisions in general, as opposed to being an appeal process for a particular decision - so Mr Baker's judicial review was on the basis of the previous certificate being too general; but I have no issue with the current certificate, and only with the paucity of MI5's returned data. Would I be right in thinking that any possible judicial review would be up to me and a solicitor I might instruct, and the Information Commissioner would not be involved in such a review?
Thank you very much for your written response to this letter. I anticipate making a request for assessment shortly after receiving your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Clarke replied on 18 April 2002. In (1) he makes clear MI5's right to non self incrimination. In (3) he makes clear original data, even censored, does not have to be returned. In (4) he makes clear that "national security" is decided on a case by case basis. Regarding the Information Tribunal, he directs me to them for information.
I next wrote to Clarke on 9 May 2002, enclosing a request for assessment document.
Dear Mr Clarke,
Thank you for your letter of 18 April. I enclose a completed request for assessment under section 42 of the Data Protection Act 1998 regarding my subject access application to the Security Service.
I request that you make an assessment in both components mentioned in the attached form. Regarding the improper interest of the Security Service in my affairs, that is something that it is only possible to deal with now following the Information Tribunal's decision late last year. Regarding the improper disclosure of my personal details on the internet, that is something which has only come to light recently with the little data that MI5 have returned, specifically the date on which they received my details from the Security Service Tribunal which preceded by five days the publication of those details on the net.
Please serve an information notice as specified in s43(1) on the Security Service. My understanding is that MI5 are then required to supply you with all data they have on me, the only exclusion being if they are of the opinion that they would "expose [them] for proceedings for [an] offence" for any data. My understanding of your response of 18 April is that MI5's national security exemption certificate signed 10/December/2001, assuming they consider it applicable in my case, will not excuse them from supplying your office with relevant data.
Also enclosed is a letter from Tribunal secretary Nick Brooks in which he quotes a report that only one warrant had been found in 108 applications from 1989 until end 1997. It is my belief that MI5 do not have a warrant for their activities against me which are consequently illegal. Regrettably s43(8) therefore exempts them from disclosing in response to your information notice on grounds of self-incrimination. I would however ask you to serve them with said notice, since if they fail to return data, that will illustrate their perception of their activities in an appropriate light.
Yours sincerely,
The request for assessment was phrased as follows. I enclosed a series of emails with the person calling himself Stone.
On 28 February 1997 I made a complaint to the Security Service Tribunal, regarding actions against me by The Security Service from June 1990 onwards. These entailed substantial loss of privacy, harassment and emotional consequences, including loss of employment. MI5 received my complaint on 13 March 1997. I had been communicating with Mr Stone from Jersey, who claimed to have an MI5 contact. On 18 March 1997 he posted my personal details on the internet, which had hitherto been private; which I had not told him. I believe he obtained my personal details from The Security Service.
My request for assessment has two components; firstly, the improper actions undertaken by The Security Service against me from June 1990 onwards; and secondly, the improper disclosure of my personal data on the internet by Mr Stone. He claimed he had my details from the BBC; but they denied this; please see attached prinout of posts/emails.
I am making an appeal to the Information Tribunal also.
Clarke finally replied on 19 July 2002.
Clarke essentially refused my request for assessment under s42/s43 of DPA. He says he needs some substantive documentary evidence of a data controller's non-compliance with the legislation, and I did not provide him with any. He directs me to the Information Tribunal for an appeal. I spoke to Clarke on the phone immediately prior to this sending this letter. He said they would not issue a s43 request, that that would be very rare. If OIC were to ask whether they were holding any data not covered by the s28 Certificate, they would answer no. Data covered by s28 would give an NCND response. He again directed me to the Information Tribunal for an appeal.
Central to any release of data whether by the Information Tribunal or any other party was the definition of "National Security", which I requested in a letter to the Home Secretary dated 6 August 2002. MI5 refused to define the term in their letters to me, and the Home Secretary passed my request to the Organised Crime, Drugs and International Group within the Home Office, which acknowledged my letter on 28 August 2002 but made no reply, despite a reminder on 19 December 2002. It seems the lack of National Security aspects to my case is so embarrassing that the Home Office simply do not want to talk about it.
